[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
Hey all, I've tried to search here and have read what I could but I'm trying to understand how we actually see the external sd storage on the phone itself other then "settings", "storage" or when the phone is connected to a computer. I just installed a 32gb card and when looking in root explorer I'm not seeing it. Also when the phone is connected to the computer I am seeing a second drive letter this now accessible so I'm guessing that's it. I do see the card listed under storage as see I have 29.50gb available.

When I installed the card I just went into recovery, mounts & storage and then selected format /sd card. Do I need to also partition the card? I'm just trying to better understand these functions in relation to this phone and being rooted.

Thx

The second drive you see on your computer is the internal 16GB memory of your phone.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] 513263337:
When you connect to your computer, the first drive is the "USB storage", around 11GB, which is part of your phone's internal storage. The second drive is your SD card.

If you want to look at your external SD card from your phone, use any file explorer program, it by default will go to the "USB storage", which is not your external SD card. Look for a folder called "external_sd", this folder is mounted to your SD card.

SD TIP

just a Tip

it is SAFE to rename the 2 mounted drives

so I named my internal SD as SGH-T989

and my external SD as the actual SD model+size like:

ADATA32GB

Transcent16GB

SandDisk64GB

then next time you plug it into Linux or Windows or any PC you will know right away which is which ;)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] rudiepoo1:
Big thanks, I appreciate everyone's comments. That's a great tip on renaming the drives....doing that now:)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] hiiimgravy:
good info!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] fouldill:
the first/second order can change for individual users, depending on what your OS detects first. Also these can be changed at any time, through the registry or through Disk Management. If for some reason you don't want to rename the drives as suggested above (and you should) you could alternatively just create a text document on the drive labelled as such.

THIS IS FRAUD.I talked to a high up rep for 45 minutes yesterday and she said we know it is a known issue but sorry no help for you on your bill.

She then said THIS IS A SAMSUNG PROBLEM so i said well are you selling this phone right now? she said yes.I said are you telling people this phone has these problems? she said nothing then said ill pass your concerns along.

If you want into a sprint store NO REP is going to tell you there is a known issue with this phone so they commit fraud selling a phone they say they know there is a known issue with.

Places recall stuff when there is a problem yet sprint keeps selling IT! not right.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Two things:

1) You get a 14 day return policy. Use it if necessary. You have that responsibility/option as a customer.

2) Reps are going to vary. Some simply don't know.

Both reps I dealt with informed me of the issue before purchase. [One is a member of xda]
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
#1 You get a 14 day window and some people will not figure it out in those 14 days since there are times you can get 5 in 1 day and none for 3 days.People who are not on here may not figure it out for a month.

#2 they sell it on there website with no disclaimer it is fraud if you ask a legal expert i would bet on it.May be a very gray area but i have no doubt it is.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
I can tell you about issues with every phone that is out there right now. Do you think a sales rep is going to go through the list with you.

I have no problems with my phone and have never seen an LOS on it. If the rep told me there is a probem with LOS they would have bee lying to me. lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Yes every phone has issues but a KNOWN ISSUE THIS IS that sprint knows is widespread some issues are for like 10% but not like this where it is close to i would guess 75% to 90% of the phones do it.

This phone did it from launch and sprints knows it is a issue a known issue as sprint calls it which a rep says when they call it a known issue it is very widespread.

And it is not the reps job to tell people IT IS SPRINTS AND THEY SHOULD PUT A DISCLAIMER out on there website since it is a known issue no matter how you cut it.

And why? because they would lose sales.I would love to see any other type of place keep selling a item they know has issues.Would Ford? Honda? heck they recall them let alone stop selling them.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] mattykinsx:
Okay... on one hand you say that it may happen only rarely and on the other hand you throw out numbers like 75% to 90% of phones.

Where did you get these numbers?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
Ok known troll of this forum LOS is a issue that can happen 5 times in 1 day then go 3 days without it.It has no set amount of times it does it to anyone.Me it does it 1 time or so per day.It all depends on how much you use your phone.

It is totally random how much it happens to each phone.But weather it happens 1 time a day or 5 or whatever amount it happens to a major amount of the phones.Enough to call it a very known issue by sprint.

Bro your being a **** and unrealistic , the phone has a problem it will be sorted, I know the PHOTON has had a ton of patches sent out since day 2 when they started having loss of sound in the earpiece, although it sucks having patches but regardless it is still one of the best 2 phones we see #1 being the ET4G! The los is annoying but brief and is being worked on as we rant about the only true negative with this product!

Fraud? Legal experts? hahaha you dont think Sprint and Samsung both have a legal team haha come on to be annoyed is one thing but dont start trying to throw out hints for somebody else to fight your battle:mad:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] eman3316@optonline.net:
75% - 90%.....lol

Glad you threw out the facts.....You must have been a pretty busy person pulling your metrics and data.

This number is based on few users on XDA who are known to root their phones. If you were truly going to do a test, it would have to be based on untouched never rooted phone. Rooted phones would not even be considered in the data gathered, so that leaves out most XDA users.

You do realize how many of these phones are sold and how many of it's users are actually on this site, right?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] akarol:
How old are you?! Have you ever bought anything anywhere?! That's how sales are done buddy. It's up to you to research the product prior to investing in it. The rep will always try to close the sale by exagerating, omitting things. It is not fraud in this country.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] chris41g:
90% of statistics are made up on the spot..

A false representation of a matter of fact—whether by words or by conduct, by false or misleading allegations, or by concealment of what should have been disclosed—that deceives and is intended to deceive another so that the individual will act upon it to her or his legal injury.

Fraud must be proved by showing that the defendant's actions involved five separate elements: (1) a false statement of a material fact,(2) knowledge on the part of the defendant that the statement is untrue, (3) intent on the part of the defendant to deceive the alleged victim, (4) justifiable reliance by the alleged victim on the statement, and (5) injury to the alleged victim as a result.

A statement of belief is not a statement of fact and thus is not fraudulent. Puffing, or the expression of a glowing opinion by a seller, is likewise not fraudulent. For example, a car dealer may represent that a particular vehicle is "the finest in the lot." Although the statement may not be true, it is not a statement of fact, and a reasonable buyer would not be justified in relying on it.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Docarut:
The percent of phones is not known. Who will release statistics, Sprint? Samsung? I don't think either. My phone is bone stock and I have had LOS only a handful of times I know of. I get data roaming several times/week at my house and this is while on wifi. Does not wifi count as a data connection? Hope this improves with software update but could become worse till better. If I treated patients like this I would lose my license and be on welfare.

It's actually not exactly like that. Sprint has completely different ties to the end product produced by samsung than best buy has to playstation or xbox. Best buy does not dictate what software needs to be included in a playstation. They do not dictate hardware specifications such as radio frequencies and connections that the phone must have. They do not make decisions about numerous other aspects to the product including physical design. Best buy is also not the sole vendor of that specific product as sprint is with the epic 4g touch. Sprint is not only the vendor like best buy, but is the sole service provider linked to the product. On top of that we get tied down by contracts.

If we are paying for a phone that is supposed to ring when i get a call in an area of service, which is what we are all paying for on our contract, then why are we responsible for paying for a service we are not receiving? If i'm locked in and can't bring my business elsewhere because of a contract, then I am not going to pay full price for a semi-functional product that does not do as they advertise. It's that simple. I don't know what conversation others had with Sprint reps, but when I spoke about the issue reasonably they reduced my monthly fees in half. I thought that was reasonable until they find a solution. I also never went so far as to call it fraud which i believe is too strong a term.

The debate is between two ideologies that people see as opposing ends of the spectrum. One group is saying there is responsibility for the buyer to know everything about their products. The other is saying that the company has a responsibility to support and back up their products.

I think in most cases these aren't in opposition. The consumer can know their product and use their money to support companies that support their clients. The problem here is that customers are tied by binding contracts for service. We cannot turn around and just sell our phones off with minimal loss in value. There are contract termination fees and non-discounted phone prices that we face if we try to make any changes. We are stuck with a product and paying for service. This is a completely different scenario, that in my opinion requires direct acknowledgement and solutions by both samsung and sprint.

This is a big reason why apple retains and gains clientele (not an apple fan boy just stating the facts). Apple at least publicly acknowledges problems with their products and will likely push out updates sooner than samsung does. Regardless, I do acknowledge that I should have listened to the pundits who told me that samsung has terrible customer service. They have been proven right.

Ok today is a perfect reason why this is BS wait till my next bill and i am calling in again.Today i was waiting on important call.I was owed money from a place and was waiting.During the day about each hour i would check my phone for LOS well i went to my brothers house and used his computer while i was there and such and forgot about my phone.2 hours went by and i went to call my Son while i was driving and bingo up popped mobile network and i seen the circle up top and you guessed it when i rebooted i had a voice mail saying they will try and call me again tomorrow.

This is why it is a sprint problem i pay to be able to make and get calls.Not hit and miss.Plus the fact if i step 1 foot out of my house i have no signal since i am out of airave range.I was sitting outside and could not update a small go app cause no very little signal.

We pau sprint not samsung for our service and it is sprint who should be the 1 making sure we have that.And if it is a samsung problem why not tell people when they sell them?? WHY? BECAUSE THEY WOULD LOSE SALES IF THEY TOLD PEOPLE YOU WILL OR COULD HAVE LOS IF YOU BUY THIS PHONE.IT IS FRAUD

Oh and to the haters/trolls flame on i will not be reading for as day or 2
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
Here's why it's not a Sprint problem.

From the booklet titled "Important Information for the Samsung Galaxy S II Epic 4G Touch" that came with your phone:

On page 15:

Notice the warranty is through Samsung, NOT Sprint.

Then from page 17:

So, you need to be contacting Samsung at 1-888-987-4357 for this issue, not Sprint.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:
LOL at the sammy problem.Yes it is there fault but sprint fraud BECAUSE THEY ARE HIDING IT WHEN THEY SELL IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! they know it but are hiding the fact the phone has problems.

All that garbage you post is nothing has nothing to do with the fact sprint is selling the phone on there website at full price and saying nothing when they know there is a problem.

What does it take to get though your head that the part sprint is fraudulent is they are not disclosing the fact the phone is broke and has problems.

Yes sammy should fix it and asap but the fact sprint is selling this with no gun to there head to sell it is fraud.If they put a disclaimer about the LOS issue then there would be no Fraud.But the fact that they confirmed it is a known issue but continue to sell it without disclosure is Fraud.

Call a lawyer and ask him they have a obligation to the public when they know there is a issue with what they are selling is broke yet continue to sell it is fraud simple as that.

Spew out all the garbage in the booklet it has nothing to do with the fact sprint knows about the problem and is hiding it.They are on purpose not posting on there website that there is a known issue but if you call sprint 9 out of 10 reps will tell you there is a known issue.

So if sprint knows there is a issue why do they continue to sell it without disclosure and the answer is SALES $$$$$$'S AND IT IS FRAUD.

Again me and sprint will have war when my next bill comes out and i call in about the issues i have had since my last bill and the fact they know there is a issue and all they can tell me is to reboot the phone.It is a samsung issue but sprint is wrong by not telling poor people who just have no clue and most go past there 14 days before the even know what is going on unless they are on here or keep up on the news.

spew the smog but it will not hide facts.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] rdcrds:

I've never had LoS on the epic touch... lol
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] worldwidepmp:
Actually it happen to me, granted it it was in a Target where I always lose service, but once I got the circle with a line through it and only a reset could fix it. I was like so this is what LOS is like.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] kd0axs:
No, it's not fraud. It could be considered a type of fraud if they were intentionally selling a product they knew was defective, but they aren't.

EVERY consumer product has a certain number of defective units, that's why they have a warranty. Unfortunately, you got one of those defective units, as did a few other members here. However, that doesn't mean that every E4GT sold has these problems.

Look around at different forums and you can definitely find many reports of LOS issues, but you have to realize that forums artificially inflate these numbers. People post on forums looking for help and to vent their frustration when they are having a problem, but most don't post on forums just to say that they aren't having any problems.

The actual number of people with the LOS issue is likely quite low in proportion to number of units sold. We actually have plenty of people here that have reported no problems with their E4GTs, myself included. If every E4GT sold was coming back with LOS, Sprint probably would stop selling it.

I don't see why you are so opposed to contacting Samsung. I even provided you with the phone number. It can't hurt anything to give them a call. I actually had to do this with a Palm phone once. Sprint wouldn't exchange it, but I called up Palm and they exchanged it no problem.

By the way, it may seem like it, but I'm not just trying to argue here. The problem is that there are a lot of assumptions being made here regarding things like FCC regulations, legal rights, and Sprint's obligations as a carrier, and the people making these assumptions haven't read the fine print that explains all of these things.

If there was more I could do to help, I would. It really does suck that you guys are having this problem. I almost wish I was having this problem so I could see what I could get done about it.

I think the point he is missing is that they are selling a phone, which they know doesn't work.

It isn't an issue of someone having a defective unit, which isn't able to connect to 911. They are in violation, because they are selling a phone, for which they know a certain number of units won't work, before they are sold.

I just have to laugh at Sprint...

I got a call yesterday regarding a BBB complaint I filed regarding the LOS issue. I didn't have time to talk at the time so she said she would call me back at a pre-arranged time. At the pre-arranged time, I never got the call (or 2 other calls) because my phone was in a LOS state. I have 4-5 bars of solid service where I'm at and my wife's Nexus 4G was sitting on the same desk as my Epic Touch.

Anyways, the lady left a voicemail to give her a call back, which I attempted, but her office was then closed because it had been over an hour since I got the voicemail. I called this morning and explained to her that I missed her call and two others because of the issue with this phone. I asked if it was frustrating to her trying to reach me and to imagine having to deal with that multiple times each day since getting the phone. She was apologetic but is standing by the company line that "your phone is fine, it just needs a software update, you can reboot your phone to have it working again anytime it has the issue".

I should also point out that I missed a call recently from my Real Estate broker for the house I'm buying. Luckily the Broker called my wife's cell as well, but it could have cost us nearly $1200 in extra fees.

I asked for a Photon or a Evo3d to replace this phone since it's not reliable and was turned down. They would only offer something that was in "refurbished" status which I turned down. I then asked for compensation for all the headaches of missed calls, missed txts, etc. and was turned down for that. My final response was that I would like to get out of my contract with no ETF fees which of course they declined as well.

Sprint in my opinion has certainly paid a deaf ear to anyone running anything but an iPhone.
