Alternative

Using ADB, has in my experience, always! been the best and most secure way to pull/push from and to my LT18i.

It's simple, light and secure.

get sdk-tools and extract it to your ROOT drive on Windows (EG. C:/)

(Im not experienced enough on this forum to post outside links, so use google and search for Android SDK.)

In your sdk-tools folder,now make a folder called:

sdcard_{today's date}

Example - sdcard_08042013

Plug in your phone, leave it on Charge only.

Now -

Step 1 - get a DOS window (Start - Run - cmd)

Step 2 - in that window enter (use copy/paste): cd c:\sdk-tools

Step 3 - in that window enter (use copy/paste): adb devices

(that ensures that adb is running, and your device is connected)

Step 4 - if using ICS, in that window enter: adb pull /mnt/sdcard sdcard_{date}

If using JellyBean enter: adb pull /storage/sdcard0 sdcard_{date}

Wait....done!

And when you are ready to push the backup to your phone again:

adb push sdcard_{date} /mnt/sdcard

Just for the record, if you break your phone or sdcard doing this, I hold no responsibillity. You do this, it is your doing.

I am not an expert in ADB nor android phones in generel. This information is something i've picked up along the way.

This is an ALTERNATIVE, and not to be mistaken for the ONLY CORRECT way.

There are plenty of other options to achieve the same goal, this is just one of them.

Good luck and Godspeed!

Using Linux / Ubuntu to copy / clone

I'm currently moving from a 16GB to a 32GB UHS-I microSD card...and I'm just copying the files over in Ubuntu Linux (with Show Hidden Files enabled in Nautilus [the file management system])...simply enabled SHOW HIDDEN FILES in the VIEW menu.

The phone is on and active...connected by USB to my laptop.

I'm hopeful it will work, and I'll re-post / update this if it does. :cowboy:

== UPDATE ==

Yep...that all worked sweetly! :) The problems other people have experienced might be simply down to the fact that a RAW copy is not taking place, so some of the "hidden" system files etc. are not being copied in Windows etc.
[Android General] __-_-_-__:
sorry in this old and stupid topic but I think it should be deleted because I tried the tip and didn't read the other posts and end up screwing my sd cards.

the thing is that you really don't need anyting to clone an SD card and to work it with android.

the problem is that people don't actually copy all the files because there are hidden files. they have to check "VIEW HIDDEN FOLDERS" on windows explorer or something like that. and then copy. it will work flawless.

no need for 3rd party stupid clone moron programs that screw your sd cards. this topic is just useless and missleading and will trick the ones who don't read the entire topic.

I think it should be deleted asap.
[Android General] baggio4378:
No this is the best way of cloning SD cards. If you have a basic seup of your card then sure you might get away with just copying files over. If like me however you have a partitioned card with an ext2/3/4 partition this is the better way of cloning cards.
[Android General] __-_-_-__:
it's the same ****. you just have to partition before copying,
[Android General] geronemo:
I copied everything using HDD Raw copy. Now I am mini tool partition wizard. The problem i am facing is that I want everything to be present in exFat format so I can copy stuff bigger than 4GB. Now I when I create partition on the unallotted part of microSD ( I am going from 32GB to 64GB) it's not letting me use merge command as is saying it's not available in free home edition. Also the format or the microSD is showing as other not exFat.

I am trying to go from 32 to 64GB and keeping exFat as the format of the card.

Thanks :)
[Android General] norman619:
Nope

No... You mistakenly did something with your cards w/o first double checking. The post wasn't bad. It's actually pretty straightforward and the best way to CLONE your cards. Don't blame the post for your mistake.
[Android General] __-_-_-__:
not sure if you are a troll or if you are just stupid. who the **** are you to call me a liar? I nothing to my cards. I've confirmed that what I said is completely true. you don't need to clone. you just need to copy the information. obviously you need to copy ALL of the information so if you stupid retard don't understand what hidden files are it's not my fault.
[Android General] stoyantenev97:
Well obviously you are the stupid one indeed, I get the feeling that you are a horse with eye-flaps on dude, don't you read what the other dudes here are saying ? It looks like you are total noon without even a basic knowledge of filesystems.. Just so you know: android is based on LINUX and WINDOWS IS NOT - IT IS A STANDALONE OS THAT IS QUITE DIFFERENT FROM LINUX... So there it goes - windows uses FAT32 or NTFS - Linux DOES NOT and nor does ANDROID, and what you don't know at all is that WINDOWS FILE SYSTEMS DO NOT SUPPORT FILE PERMISSIONS THE WAY THAT THE ANDROID SYSTEM SUPPORTS IT.

So people, what I am trying to say is that, if you are a basic user and use your SD for pics and music only - the windows way would work (probably) BUT if you are using your SD for apps and etc, actually the ADB way might just be the best for you ;)

And finally - I don't mean to be mean or to offend anyone, it's just that noob uneducated guy that expresses his non-proffesional "beliefs" in a way that is offensive to the users who actually have contributed to the thread and he tries to get a very useful thread deleted, which is driving me crazy nuts! I hate flaming other people and I hate seeing a noob that flames good guys for the sakes of post number and a stubborn hatefull debate - that's why I am flaming the flamer.

And some advice - dude, please don't use the f-word on forums - its not cool - its kiddish - you're probably thirteen y-o :D
[Android General] notjoken958:
Still a good way to clone and resize and partition! Thank you.
[Android General] sbahd2:
On my AndroidOne Nokia 7.1 I noticed that the SD card is mounted as /storage/XXXX-XXXX where XXXX-XXXX is the volume's serial number.

Here's how I cloned my smaller SD card onto a larger one:

Formatted the 200GB µSD using http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?fat32format.htm (Windows says it’s too large)

Copied using ROBOCOPY /S /ZB /V g:\ f:\

Changed the volume serial number using SysInternals’ VolumeId.exe:

PS> cmd /c vol f:

Volume in drive F is LUMIAUSD200

Volume Serial Number is 1F04-2747

PS > Volumeid.exe f: B14F-130C

VolumeId v2.1 - Set disk volume id

Copyright (C) 1997-2016 Mark Russinovich

Sysinternals - www.sysinternals.com

Volume ID for drive f: updated to b14f-130c

PS > cmd /c vol f:

Volume in drive F is LUMIAUSD200

Volume Serial Number is B14F-130C

After that I inserted the new card into the phone, and voilà! all apps were happy (since the mountpoint had not changed).

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] hakeem82:
keeping my skyrocket.

just didnt feel the LG nitro was worth paying the extra $35. The HD screen is nice but wasn't blown away; the superamoled Plus display and UI on skyrocket is good enough for me. The skyrocket felt better in my hands as well. Smaller internal storage and battery concerns about the LG nitro didn't help either.

for another comparison, check out mobiletechreview.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] Ben74:
i was in an at&t store today, and played with both phones. the nitro's screen is really stunning. i do prefer it over the skyrocket's. i also love the textured back, and general build quality of the phone.

however, the nitro was noticeably laggy. simple things like opening menus, or the app drawer caused significant hesitation. i also ran my standard web browser test where i open a heavyweight desktop-version website (http://surf-forecast.com). the skyrocket opened it fast, and scrolling was butter smooth even while the page was still loading. can't say the same for the nitro. even after the page fully loaded, scrolling and zooming was not butter smooth at all.

you can't judge a phone by one web page, but the difference was so large that i didn't bother trying any others. maybe the demo phone they had there was messed up somehow, or maybe future rom updates will smooth things out, but it looks to me like that HD screen on the nitro is taxing the hardware too much.

this quote from diane hackborn's recent post seems to add credence to this theory:

GPS of LG Nitro

Hi guys,

For people who have the LG Nitro, could you comment on the GPS sensitivity:

- How long does it take "GPS Test" app to lock?

- Accuracy as reported by GPS Test or Google map

- Does GPS maintain lock with Google Navigation?

Thank you.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] blognc:
This was my experience, too. I wanted to like this phone. The textured back is nice, the resolution is amazing, the screen quality is really good (except blacks, at the highest brightness, are meh next to Skyrocket), and I liked little things, like the tall widescreen (less width on the phone, easier in the hand) and the three buttons (I feel better for ICS), but the lag! Oh, how the lag killed this thing.

I'm not sure if it's the high resolution or LG's Touchwiz Lite, which I hear is poorly coded, but stuttering and jittering was the rule when scrolling. On a brand new unused store unit, it was bad enough to be frustrating in a 15 minute demo. If this gets an AOSP or CM ROM, it may turn out to be better than the Skyrocket, but until then, stay away. This phone is unusable without some good devs, sad to say.

I really wanted to buy it. Why can't AT&T have one phone with no compromises?

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] momulah:
I cannot believe that people actually think the display on the Nitro is better. With both phones side by side full brightness the super amoled plus blows that IPS out of the water. Rich Eye Popping Colors and Dark Blacks Compared to the Mediocre Bland Display on Nitro. I know comparing 720 to 800x480 is crazy and the pixels are sharper on Nitro but as far as displaying two 1080p videos the Skyrocket still Looks a lot better in my opinion. Real world test with the phone a foot away you cannot tell that our Amoled Plus is not same resolution as the Nitro. I hate when someone boast about the resolution and you have to zoom in 150% just to see the difference or put the phone 2" in front of you. Whatever the case My White Galaxy Skyrocket is On Top at this Moment. Bring on ICS and Butterfinger to that Nexus.(Was so excited for the Nexus but with the messed up launch and bad news after bad news I could not make myself get it now Screw you Google)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 00mred00:
my take on the Nitro vs Skyrocket

Phone looks and feels amazing.

I liked the screen, but clarity was nowhere near what it is on the Skyrocket. Sad too because color felt dead on (not over saturated, more real life on the Nitro) But it was "fuzzy" and did not show as much detail

Performance..dead on exactly the same on Antutu EXCEPT for RAM, the Nitro scored MUCH higher.

Linpack scores were high 80's-low 90's compared to the Skyrockets mid 70's low 80's

the deal killer....the rear speaker

At full volume we could barely hear multiple youtube videos that played loud and clear on the display Skyrocket and our Inspire

I did this test display vs display in store. We spent an hour in there.

I did notice the wierdness mentioned about the browser buttons on the bottom but it was not that big of a deal to me.

Oh, and I know I would break that usb port cover lol

and of course..the 4gb internal mem is a huge deal to me but I was willing to overlook it

in the end we ordered 2 white skyrockets from bestbuy for $139 each (frys electronics pricematch)

It really is a great phone, but not in the key areas I WANT it to be
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] gordec:
I have the phone, and the GPS is the best I have ever used. I locked 12 Sats in 3-4 secs on an overcast day. It also locked while I was sitting like 5 feet from the window on the first floor of a 2 story house. Like it literally doesn't get off more than 3-4 meters of accuracy. On Google navigation it's a clean arrow all the way, no enlarging blue circles :).

Again my contract was up, so I was deciding between Nitro and SR. I went with the Nitro for the screen initially but everything just works perfect on it except the battery life. It's not good at all, and I can't even force it to do 3G only to save battery.

SR is a pretty sweet phone too. Tough decision for me. Also the Nitro was $150 not $250 like most reports. If it were $250, I would went with the SR no doubt.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stennan:
Hi, I've been having some problems with my Htc Desire (Running Hboot 0.80, rooted & CM7). A couple of months ago Super User needed an update and required S-off. I didn't feel like doing that at the time, but after a while and a updated clockworkmod the phone locks up when i try to backup my current Rom.

So now I'm considering S-offing my phone and I was just wondering if i can use alpharev on my current Hboot considering that i'm running CM 7.03? '

Most guides use some kind of stock-Rom so i just wanted to check in advance rather then being sorry later.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It's just a matter of having a non A2SD/D2SD ROM, so it's safer to return to a stock ROM (You should have made a backup of it after rooting), you can try it on CM and you never know it might work.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stennan:
Sure, I've got an old Leedroid and Htc original 2.2 so I'll pop the 2.2 back on and after the S-off is completed I can simply restore a older CM7 backup? It's a shame that the Super user needed S-off.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
yeah just do that, I don't see why it needs S-OFF though :s Either way it's better to have it than not :thumbsup:

[Nexus S General] Bruce lee roy:
Then perhaps you can root and install a custom rom. It seems to me when I download a custom rom ota, its more likely to be corrupt. If its stock you want, it's available here.

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering whether anybody else has experienced this side effect of the ITL41F update? My battery life has been really really good, much better than that of my HD7. I was really chuffed with it. Along comes the ITL41F update, and since then the battery will drain itself on standby. Nothing has changed on my phone. I have not installed any new apps or made any settings changes (such as sync frequency, etc). So the only difference is the ITL41F update.

To give you an idea, If I charge the phone in the late afternoon, and then pretty much leave it alone, by the morning it will have gone down to 15% battery or less. This morning I plugged it in again, and now it's down to 50%. And I only sent a single txt message and didn't do anything else on the phone. This is properly rubbish.

Anybody know where I can report this bug to Google/Samsung?

You have a lot of awake time without your screen been on which seems a little strange.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] j1mmyg88:
I would say your mobile signal is using up a lot battery. when it is yellow that means its weak, and grey means no signal. Since this is the main 2 colours on your chart I would say this would be the main reason for your battery drain

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] HooloovooUK:
Are you seriously asking that question?

You improve your mobile signal but getting your network provider to install another mast, or switch to a different network with better coverage in your area.

If you could improve signal with APN settings or flashing a different radio it would be done like that from the factory!

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] veper:
Your phone was awake for more than 50% of the time. If you really didn't use it, there's most likely a rogue app which is preventing phone from going into deep sleep.

Use an app like System panel to locate the culprit.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
nevermind - delete me :p
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mictho100:
Thanks for the fast replies guys, it's much appreciated! =)

What I find puzzling is that absolutely NOTHING has changed on the phone, apart from the update. So if there was a rogue app that was consuming the battery, it should have exhibited that behaviour before the update, right?

I will check with system monitor though, to see if I can spot something. The strange thing I noticed is that the OS is consuming *more* battery than most other functions. Even on standby.... weird!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] IvanDobskey:
After finally getting the patch I can't say the battery has been worse. In fact it seems to be better. Although I think that is down to the fact I've been through a few charge cycles now.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Luxferro:
click on android OS, and check out the awake and CPU times. The cpu time should be a fractions of the time awake.

example, my phone has been on this charge for 22 hours (still 36% battery left.. didn't use it too much this charge). the leading battery drain is screen at 51% (2.5 hours awake time), and the 2nd leading item is Android OS which has the following:

CPU Total - 18m 53s

Keep Awake - 4h 46m 9s

I'm just curious on why your CPU total was in relation to the awake time by Android OS.

its funny how many similar theads appear everytime a phone gets updated. And most of them all go down to user error.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] mictho100:
Guys, I'm not ruling out 'user error', but at this moment in time I cannot see what I could have possibly done to cause it. I have purchased System Panel on the Market and I'm running it in monitoring mode to see if it can shed some light on the issue. Strangely, 'Cut the Rope' and 'Exchange' are running constantly and as a service. Not necessarily consuming CPU while the phone is asleep though. Just though it would be strange for a game to be running as a service? Must be a reason for it....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] beekay201:
Ask the developper of "Cut the Rope" why does it need to run that way. Exchange is run as a service because you probably need it.
