[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lichbane:
Folks,

I just got my SGS2 the other day and picked up a 32G Class 10 SDCard with it. One thing I've noticed is that copying anything over to the phone is incredibly slow over USB ... and worse on the SDCard.

Syncing a lot of music would just fail as some point during the process. Just copying using windows was going to take over two and a half hours to copy 18G of music! At least by popping it out of hte phone and plugging it directly into my USB hub it was going to take an hour (still slow ... but what the hell).

Anyone else noticed this?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Here we go again Slow copy to 32GB card .

Usual

One its fake many are .

two format the card again in windows to FAT 32

three use the manufactures web site to check card and or download test app .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lichbane:
I'd hope it's not a fake. I bought it over the counter along with hte phone.

It is already formatted to FAT32

I will try the later though.

Thanks/

Your symptoms sounds like a fake sdcard. Same thing happened to me with my 32gb generic/ Kingston ebay card. Any good/real card wouldn't fail on you when transferring data.

I'm running a 32gb sandisk class 4 card.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
Run crystal disk speed benchmark on it, see what speeds you get. Sounds like a fake.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mew178:
I can tell you from experience that if you bought the card on DealExtreme or ebay you could have a fake on your hands.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dk206:
Don't understand. People should go to a shop. Proper electrical shop to buy sd cards especially micro-sd hc. It really is worth it. Even thiugh it might be a few quid expensive.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Proper electrical shop often means rip off prices .

Plenty of on-line top class vendors of micro usb cards .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] julandroid:
How slow is your slow?

In Ubuntu OS environment I do copy on my microSD card (PNY 16GB class 10) over USB with about 21-22MB/s. And then a strange thing happens - after coping the first 500-550 MB the write speed drops to 5MB/s for the rest of file.

If I run "J Disk Benchmark" app (50MB filesize, 4kb buffer size) I get consistent ~20MB write and read.

Using "SD Tools" app I get 14MB/s write and about 21MB/s read.

It seems the performance strongly depends of the file size, buffer size and the way test is performed (sequential or random access to card).

So, try those apps inside your SGS II and share the results!
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BarryH_GEG:
I've had some SD card funkiness and I know it's not the card because I've used it in two other phones and it's less than a year old. For some reason, over time, the phone starts to slow down when it's media scanning and will occasionally stutter pulling large files off the card. I unmount the card and then restart the phone and it's fine again. Just rebooting alone didn't seem to help. I have no idea why.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lichbane:
Read the third post. I DID BUY IT FROM A SHOP!

Thanks julandroid. I'm getting good results from within the phone (using the app you recommended). It's a class 10 card and I'm getting 18 write and 31 read. The problem appears to only be over USB.

Any useful suggestions from people would be nice (as opposed to critiques and assumptions over how I purchased that card).

Ta. I'll give that a go before I try and copy my music again (I've since discovered I need to go on a massive tag cleanup on my collection since dropping iTunes/iPhone. I found it a bit of a mess. :()
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rawat:
J disk benchmark app tests internal memory, unless its been updated recently.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chattymango:
Which Brand SD card you have purchased.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] intruda119:
Either thru phone to usb or actual microsd straight into the computer you need to run a memtest that transfer big files.

From your description its a faulty card. Some name brand cards can end up faulty on store shelves. Was it a mom and pop store? How much did you pay? You haven't mentioned a brand yet.

The faulty card I had would lose data, fail and drop speed while transferring.

All in all you need to run some test and check for lots of bad sectors. Use anyother format tool besides windows. Try to fill all 30gb and check for corrupted data. Any problems and I would return it.

Not so much for the card but would recommend MediaMonkey to help sort out your music tagging.

Also, this might be patronising but are you connecting as a USB drive? I.e. enable USB debugging then pulling down the notification menu to activate mass storage. I find this faster than using the KIES drivers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lichbane:
Hehe ... been working at it all day with MediaMonkey. It's made the job a lot easier.

Hmmm ... not partonising at all. This is my first android phone and I've had it only for a couple of days. I don't know about these tricky bits yet. Thanks for the tip! :)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sleepycat3:
The lexar class 10 32GB microSD card has very poor random write speeds. So unless you are copying a single large file onto a totally empty card, e speeds will be well below e rated 10MB minimum write speed. Use Crystaldiskmark and do a Random read/write test with QD=1 for a 10 MB file and you will see the poor results. Even the Sandisk Class2 32GB card is quicker at random writes.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bela:
I have the same problem, and I have tried two different SD card, one a class 2, the other a class 6. Both cards are much faste rin a card reader or other phone.

Hi

Does anyone got Google Maps update to 5.x on Legend. Just wonder if I'm restricted to version 4 due to region or HTC rom...

N.B. I don't see Google maps at the Market so can't update manually.
[Legend General] petertakov:
It's the country you live in, not the device. I live in Bulgaria and Maps updates are not available to me for download from the Market. Yet, when I put a UK sim card in the same device, it works just fine and I have downloaded the latest 5.something update.
[Legend General] kvasnevsky:
I suspected that... and you know why frustrated? Users of latest devices (e.g. Desire S) got it - same country and operator, so it seems like somebody just doesn't care to enable it... for Legend
[Legend General] Asovse1:
Download MarketEnabler and it will trick the market into thinking you have an American sim card.

[Defy General] rubjonny:
silly question but have you put it on a wireless connection since? there is a featrue 'data saver' which queues downloads untill you're on a fast data connection. maybe you could try turning this feature off if enabled maybe that would jump start it? or if off, try turning it on, then off?

settings -> data manager -> data saver

also maybe check the settings under data delivery, make sure background data is on
[HTC Sensation] intel.nehalem:
hello everyone,

I just saw that Handtec has reduced their VAT free price for the sensation from 414.99 to 399.99 :mad: I had to pay the original price for my pre-order!

Well that's bad news I guess but they just changed the expected date for stock from the 27th to the 20th :)

Anyone else who pre-ordered the Sensation from Handtec?
[HTC Sensation] omar302:
I pre-ordered in early May from them. But I also Pre-Ordered at Expansys, so when their price is announced I'll keep one & cancel the other.

But Shouldn't Handtec re-fund the difference?

They probably should ! I tried contacting them regarding this but I am still waiting for their reply ;)

Handtec do have a price promise. Check the price on day of release - if it is lower than what you have paid, then contact them and they will refund the difference. I've done this twice now...

I don't think the kernel will work on p500 both devices have different hardware. And yes even if u flash any wrong kernel or rom you can boot into recovery. Just make sure that the kernel or rom zip doesn't have any recovery update in them.

[Xoom General] Rotesmofa:
Hello Guys,

I stayed silent the last couple of days because I bricked my Xoom Wifi US Version. I tried to relock the device because I did want to install the 3.1 update.

So as I went back to stock images and in the second last step relocked the device it got stock after a reboot. It showed 0x0004 starting RSD Mode or if did hold volume down during startup starting fastboot support. Regardless of the mode, it wasnt recognized from my PC.

There was no solution to find to recover from that.

xxxxx

Solution:

-> Grab a cup of coffee

-> get a micro usb cable and soldering tools

-> open wikipedia page: Universal Serial Bus - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

What you need to do is to solder a Motorola factory repair cable. On the Micro USB Port there is a unused pin (PIN 4) this pin needs to be connected to Pwr (usually the red USB wire). After that connect the Xoom with that cable and the Powercable plugged to your PC.

Then start fastboot and type fastboot unlock bootloader.

Thats it you finally resolved the Stuck in RSD Mode 0x0002 or 4 issue.

Shouldnt take more then 10min if you have soldering skills.

If you have any questions please dont hesitate to ask.

Best regards from Germany,

Rotesmofa

Cable should look anything like this:

I used the cable of my old Galaxy S, it is very easy because it has a little PCB inside which makes soldering a charme!
[Xoom General] keunhuvac:
Can you give us a diagram to show how to mod a usb cable?
[Xoom General] Rotesmofa:
I think its to simple for that.

If you take a look on the wikipedia page, there is a subtitle named physical appearance. There is the normal USB listed (Pin 1 == Power + ) and the Micro USB so you open the connector on the Micro USB Side with a good caliper (i dont know the exact english word :-) ). Make sure the red wire is Power + by using a Multimeter and then use a small cable to connect this as a bridge to Pin 4.
[Xoom General] tonyb15re:
Wow, if this works there will be a lot of happy people, Can you provide a step by step on how you created the cable and what you did when you plugged it in to get it all back to normal, then ask the Mods to sticky it :)

[Xoom General] sincamons:
I made a cable as your instructions. My Xoom was shutdown immediately. I have to press Power button and waiting. But it still stuck at Motorola Logo with message LNX 0x0004 . Starting RSD mode 2.

I type fastboot unlock bootloader but nothing happen. The screen said waiting for devices. Even try fastboot oem unlock.

Did i do something wrong?
[Xoom General] Rotesmofa:
I cant figure out a false step, what i did was:

-> Finish the cable and test it with a Multimeter (== is +5V at pin 4 and 1?)

-> Connect the xoom with the power cable and the special USB cable

-> Plug the xoom into the PC

-> now the PC starts recognize a NVZ (or some else) device which needs to be recovered. The Xoom screen was at the RSD Mode 2 sign. Then I typed fastboot oem unlock and then it worked again.

----

Please check your drivers

Check if your Hardware Manager does see the xoom with the cable

Remember the xoom special cable lets the xoom forget that it has a battery, if you unplug it, it will shut of imiediatly.

Hope you can fix your Xoom.

Best regards,

Rotesmofa

A question about your un-bricking method

Hello friend. :)

I've bricked my Xoom by trying format a micro-SD card with ClockWorkMOD recovery software. I reboot and now my US WiFi-Only Xoom is totally dead, only charges its battery, not more. :eek:

My question is: Do you think that your un-bricking method could un-brick my dead Xoom? :confused:

Many thanks in advance... :)
[Xoom General] Rotesmofa:
first try to go in fastboot mode

Push Power + Vol up

after the moto sign is on the screen push vol down

If your Xoom goes into fastboot mode and will recognized by your PC than you dont need that cable.
[Xoom General] metaverse:
Thanks for your answer, but I've tired that...

Hello.

Sorry about that, but I've tried that and all other button combinations in order to try a hard boot. I've read that ClockWorkMOD partition utility apparently format the NAND memory of the XOOM US-Wifi only model. :(

Do you think that your cable method can be of any help? :confused:

Thanks
[Xoom General] Rotesmofa:
It only helps if your Xoom is not recognized at all, thats all that I know.

But you can try it if you are out of options!

Many thanks. I'll see, but I don have many reasons for be optimistic about this :(

Keep posting here with your results - I am in exactly the same position you are in.... I think Clockwork mod recovery has assisted me in formatting the NAND memory too....

I wish this solution was around a few months ago! Great info!
[Xoom General] sincamons:
Thank you very much, Rotesmofa.

It worked. My Xoom is not a brick anymore.
[Xoom General] okantomi:
I'm so sorry for your situation.

Did you by any chance "upgrade" to version 4.x.x.x. of the ClockworkMod Recovery through ROM Manager? If you did, that's where the problem came from. That version doesn't read the "external" sd card, but only sees the internal sd card which is where all of our apps and data is. If you tried to format your sdcard in that version, I think it must have formated your internal storage instead. I'm not sure if there is a fix for that if that is what happened, but good luck!

I am on my 1st warranty phone of the G2X and it was having overheating issues, i think i have solved that (I wasn't formating the /system in clockwordmod, so i think old files were conflicting and causing cpu time to be eaten and burn up my phone, now it's staying a good 31c while asleep and unplugged, but now i can't use the hdmi out on the TV, i can with my computer monitor but not my tv, on my brand new g2x, the one before i got this warranty one, the hdmi to my tv worked, but it was overheating...but most likely not becuase of the phone but because i was going from rom to rom incorrectly....i have only tried it with Ultimate G2x 1.0 ROM, I am probably going to switch to CM7 w/ faux123's new 0.1.7 kernel if alot of ppl say good things about the new battery reading changes. idk i just wanted to see if other people have HDMI issues with diff tv's or diff roms....i work by a radio shack so i'm going to try it on one of their tvs.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ebennick:
I have this same problem, it is a hardware problem caused by using an HDMI cord that caused a short. Lots of people are getting this due to using monoprice cords. Search g2x HDMI monoprice. Unfortunately it is a hardware problem that cannot be fixed, when you sent in your phone on warranty they probably sent you back a refurbished that was broken by someone else. You need to send it back ASAP and ask for new phone not a refurbished.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] player911:
well if the output of the phone was burnt out, then it wouldn't work either way. Just make sure all the settings are correct. Your monitor is probably 1080p or better. Your TV?

There were some issues with settings and auto. There could be a number of issues at hand and/or it could just be the phone.

I would try another rom. CM7's works pretty well. There are no settings and AUTO is hardcoded.

I've played with the HDMI out with my monitor and while it works, sometimes I had to screw with the orientation, unplug/replug, toggle phone display on/off, etc.

Once the monitor detects the output, it is golden. But I think there is a period where the monitor looks for a signal and after that period, if nothing is found, it stops looking. Could be the same way with the TV.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] ebennick:
I would like to think that its something that could be fixed, but I have tried flashing multiple ROMs including a virgin stock froyo all with the same result.

My HDMI did work properly when I was using a short generic HDMI that I got with my accessory kit, but as soon as I plugged in the monoprice HDMI the battery level instantly dropped to 0% followed by the smell of burning electronics, now the HDMI out only works on a PC monitor but never a TV. I literally went to Sears and they let me plug it in to 15 different TVs and none of them worked. From what I have been reading in these threads:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1057564

http://forums.t-mobile.com/t5/T-Mobile-G2x/HDMI-crashing-phone/td-p/824403

It seems to be pretty common and no one has been able to get their HDMI to work properly after it fails.

What I would like is if there was some was of forcing HDMI on instead using the auto.
