I am currently on build

10, no issue with the sd card being damaged. I've been down loading builds from cyanogen web site then moving them onto my sd card, recovery via rom manager, wipe cache, delvik, battery stats, run kernal cleaner, flash new rom. Never had any bad results this way.

[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
I followed your same method, but I still had the SD card damage issue crop up. I had been using build 10 for half a day. I just decided to reboot my phone normally for some reason and when the system booted back up to the home screen, I received the damaged SD error. So it looks like it happens without any rhyme or reason, not just upon a fresh install.
[Fascinate Android Development] eibbed0001:
I haven't had any SD card issues, either. Still, at the moment I'm copying the contents of my SD card to my home computer just in case. It's probably a good thing to do on a regular basis as part of a regular backup routine for home computers.

having problems locking my gps in it takes like almost 5 minutes to lock in, any short term or long term solution?? i am using build# 10.....
[Fascinate Android Development] alphahere:
SD Card Not readable.

Had the same problem with mSD card. Basically said the card needed to be reformated and did not have a valid filesystem. I formatted the card and it still did not work. After formatting the card, I placed the same card in my Linux based computer and I could read all the files. Apparently the card was never formatted.

I then inserted the card in a unhacked Nook Simple Touch (2nd gen) and it works fine. Don't need a 16GB card in a ebook reader, that is overkill ;-).

The card in question was a new SanDisk 16GB card class 2.

I replaced the card with an old SanDisk 8GB card class 2 and everything has been working fine even with Nightly 10.

Don't have a clue what is wrong with my SanDisk 16GB card but it does not work in my captivate running CM7 nightly either. The card works fine on my computer with unhacked Nook, Windows or Linux.

Whatever.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hyphnx:
Sounds like you need to reformat it on your computer to make it a compatible. You can PM me if you're uncertain on how to do this.

As for everyone else, who is going to flash build 11? ;)

Here is what to expect in the next nightly :

Delete duplicate Wind IT apn (android_vendor_cyanogen)

contacts: Updated Italian translations (android_packages_apps_Contacts)

Traditional Chinese: Translate label_date (android_packages_apps_Contacts)

PT-BR: Add missing translations (android_packages_apps_Contacts)

added camera settings supported by galaxys2 (android_packages_apps_Camera)

Continuous autofocus for samsung phones (galaxysmtd, galaxys2) (1/3) (android_packages_apps_Camera) cyanogen: Use friendlier names for the SEMC msm7x30 family (android_vendor_cyanogen)
[Fascinate Android Development] grillium:
I'm also having trouble locking in GPS.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hyphnx:
What if you lock on with wifi then using navigation or seeing if you can have it remember your location and using that if you are not going far.
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
Anyone have a mirror to build 11? The cyanogenmod download section is down right now. I want to flash build 11 because I had the SD card corruption again and want to see if it is fixed

Magically the main download.cyanogenmod.com site is back up and working! They must have heard some chatter over here and fixed it right up! Go figure. Thanks anyways for the links.

Finishing up flashing build 11 now. I will try it out and report back with any odd SD card issues.
[Fascinate Android Development] ecsnead69:
Does the build 11 changelog say anything about fixing the SD card issues?
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
The changelog says nothing about the SD card issues, neither does the upcoming changelog for build 12 so far.
[Fascinate Android Development] Hyphnx:
Can you give me a step by step of how

you

flash a new nightly. Every time I seem to do flash a new one my phone goes down.

The SD Card issue probably isn't the ROM unless JT says other wise. I am not sure what could be causing it though.

Edit : I have been reading about the SDCard issue today and it seems the filesystem can get corrupted if you disconnect during an operation or shortly after.

-----------------------------------

Here are some other methods I was able to find.

http://www.techcredo.com/android/ho...d-on-an-android-phone-without-losing-any-data

The (likely) solution in one sentence: put the SD card in another phone (or a memory card reader), connect it to your computer as a disk drive, run a Windows disk check on it, backup its contents and then put the memory card back in your Android phone. Voilà!

IF YOU HAVE A DAMAGED SDCARD DO NOT REFORMAT TRY THE ABOVE STEPS FIRST!
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
I gave up on CM7 after I tried every camera app suggested and found them all to fall woefully short of the HD recording with the TW Camera....but I just had a thought.....The Samsung Nexus S seems to have the same basic hardware, but it doesn't have TouchWiz. It runs pure Gingerbread. Wouldn't there be a Samsung-created Camera app on that phone that fully utilizes the CPU and GPU of the phone without the need for the TW framework?

If this is true, shouldn't we be able to use that camera app on CM7, pure Gingerbread?

I realize I must be missing something, because someone would have thought of this already.

CM7 is freakin awesome, but I can't trade in the best HD video recorder I own for it.
[Fascinate Android Development] Kaik541:
The Nexus S uses the AOSP camera app, it's the exact same camera application we have on CyanogenMod 7 (but with less features).
[Fascinate Android Development] spearoid:
Well that sucks.

I guess there truly is no hope for CM7 for me then. We finally got to the point in the technology era where our phones can be ALL we need when going to big events like an NFL game.....for communication, photos, AND videos. CM7 takes me back one step, and I was hoping to find a way to keep it.

So what's the difference between this ROM and JTs vanilli ROM
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I just flashed his 8/8 Vanila rom...

Seems to be a stripped down version of CM7.

loose the customizable options...Cynogenmod settings...no notification toggles(mod currently being updated)...but seems smoother and maybe a bit faster...haven't done too much yet..

CM7 has more customizable options....but probably more bugs..
[Fascinate Android Development] ksbc616:
I have a question guys. How do u guys restore your contact lists?

I used to use backup assistant from different Roms (meaning not MTD ones).

I tried to use backup and restore from setting(when I was in MTD roms), it did not

let me restore my contact lists from vzw account. I know the other way is using

gmail but its missing some of my contact lists so hope I get an good and clear

answer from experts!!
[Fascinate Android Development] speedingcheetah:
I just had all of my contacts import from Google..any rom I flash, when I login to Google apps. it restores my contacts including their picture...
[Fascinate Android Development] Ritchell:
If you had contacts stored to your phone but not to google, they are likely available from verizon's backup assistant. Go to the vzw website, log in, and go to your backup assistant page. From there you will be able to export a CSV copy of your contacts list, which you can then import to your google contacts page. Then run google contact's find duplicates command to merge duplicates. Now when your android phone syncs contacts, it will pull everything you once had.
[Fascinate Android Development] MJMcMahon:
I lost SD-Card over the weekend, formatted, re-added data, and just lost mine a second time. Oddly, the phone said that the SDCard had been disconnected and when I opened the phone the card was sitting loose in the case, almost like it had been ejected.

Regardless, applying the provided fix did not resolve the SDCard issues on my phone. I believe the card has been toast-i-fied. I'll be getting a second today. :)
[Fascinate Android Development] Mikes30000:
I am now in your same boat. I tried everything to get my card back up in running (i.e. reformat in android, windows, put card in my wife's stock fascinate to reformat, etc.). The card is now damaged and I will be picking up one at Radio Shack tomorrow. This sucks. I really love CM7 but I'm afraid that I will be trying out one of the custom ED05 ROMs as I need to have a functional phone and SD card.
[Fascinate Android Development] sarkozy:
You need to use a CM build before the 2.3.5 merge, and you will be fine. The issues only began after that. imnuts threw out a 7/25 build on twitter, and with the glitch kernel it works fine. All you're really giving up is the ability to change your lockscreen wallpaper since that wasn't included at the time.
[Fascinate Android Development] grillium:
Guys, so since it says I need to reformat my SD card, is it fried?
[Fascinate Android Development] Ritchell:
Not necessarily. If you don't care about the data on the card, I've had success doing a reformat directly inside of CM7. Some people have reported no success with this, however, and it could be completely fried in that case. If you do care about recovering the data, you may have luck with a card reader hooked up to a PC with recovery software.
[Fascinate Android Development] FDro:
Twice bitten by the Sdcard bug now. Was on nightly 12
[Fascinate Android Development] decaydance99:

Sent from my CM7'ed fascinate
[Fascinate Android Development] piiman:
So are you feeling left out or something?
[Fascinate Android Development] MJMcMahon:
At least in my case the card was definitely corrupted. Formats inside CM7 failed, and viewing the card using an adapter and plugging it into my PC showed

gobbledygook for file/directory names. Even after a windows format, I was unable to get the old card to format and mount inside CM7.

I picked up a new Kingston 16GB Class 4 yesterday for $50. Hopefully it will do better. :)

Damn I hope so cause you paid about 2x more than you should have. Amazon has them for $24.99.

Another SD Card down the drain. First my 16gb now my 2gb. On build 11-12 when these happened.

Using SDFormatter and it had been 12 hours now with only 60% done....
[Fascinate Android Development] bdanders:
I'm still in the clear, although I'm sure I just cursed myself by writing that. I'm starting to wonder if running the Glitch kernel has something to do with keeping me safe. I don't recall hearing of anybody running that having their SD nom'd upon.

A lil update on my SD Card crapper.

I was able to recover the 'Damaged' SD Card using SD Formatter.

SD card wasn't working then so I ran: chkdsk /x /f on it and found a **** ton of bad clusters....

Windows was able to correct some of those...doing more stuff and providing more update if I'm successful.

Update: Says Cannot create boot sector after running chkdsk.

Card is dead.

2 cards down...My dad has been running CM7 since the nightlies for it (DInc)....never had this issue. Maybe I'm just really unlucky.
[Fascinate Android Development] SeatownGST:
I have CM nightly 12 going, seems OK so far. the card did exhibit the issue, but I have things copied off. It does seem to accept new data though so I don't think it's fried.

BUT - I have a total curveball question. I don't seem to have... any sounds/alerts/tones. Just a stock one, or silent. Is there a patch or gapps type of file I missed when installing?? hehe
[Fascinate Android Development] gunm3tal:
From JT's Twitter:

"The kernels on rom manager can be used with any mtd rom. Cm7/miui/etc. If you're concerned about sdcard issues, use the newest (v2) kernel"

List of things I have noticed and the work arounds I know of for v14

1. Wifi on start up does not work.

-Switching between airplane mode seems to help.

2. Market will not load! Worst problem to me.

-Uninstalling the updates and letting it refresh helps me.

3. The volume when making calls is fine until you adjust the volume and then people sound far away.

-Switching the speaker on and off has helped me.

4. Wifi tethering does not work with other android devices but works fine with my iPod.

-???

5. Switching on Wifi while someone is on the phone will end the call.

-Call that person back...

6. Can not charge while off.

-Phone died while I was asleep so... I pulled the battery, plugged in the cord, and put the battery back in and it started up. Any better ideas if that happens again?

7 Keyboard randomly pops up.

-My stock rom did this too. The CM7 is a bit worst, but nothing new.

If there is any other problems I did not mention please add to this list and work arounds if you know them. :P

Ok, now for the good news. This Rom is sick, very fast, and efficient. Mine has been very stable as well; not one reboot, yet! I'm digging it and I really appreciate the work that Jt and others have put into making this Rom as awesome as it already is. Also, I have used the Glitch Kernal to play around with and it has been very stable as well.
