[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kur0saki:
I have not had any reboots at all with the microsd and without it

The diffrence between fat32 and exfat is

FAT32 is the file system with which most windows users are most familiar. Windows first supported FAT32 with Windows 95 OSR2 and has increased support for it through XP.

FAT32 has multiple issues that modern systems can experience:

- By default windows systems can only format a drive up to 32 GB. Additional software works around this issue. When formatted at these bigger sizes, FAT32 becomes increasingly inefficient.

- The maximum file size on a FAT32 formatted drive is around 4 GB. With DVD and high resolution DVD formats now available, this limit is commonly noticed.

- Dealing with fragmentation and free disk space calculations can become painfully resource intensive in large FAT32 systems.

- A FAT32 directory can have 65,536 directory entries. Each file or subdirectory can take up multiple entries; therefore, FAT32 directories are limited with how many files it can hold.

exFAT was first released with CE 6.0 but will finally hit the mainstream with Vista SP1. exFAT has several advantages over FAT32:

-File size limit is now 16 exabytes.

- Format size limits and files per directory limits are practically eliminated.

- Like HPFS, exFAT uses free space bitmaps to reduce fragmentation and free space allocation/detection issues.

- Like HTFS, permission systems should be able to be attached through an access control list (ACL). It is unclear if or when Vista will include this feature, however.

In the past most power-users of Microsoft systems have opted to format/convert to a NTFS file system instead.

Interestingly enough, exFAT is not used currently for formatting hard drives. It is being recommended in Flash memory storage and other external devices only. This is why it is currently not considered a huge competitor to NTFS on hard drives.

However, exFAT should be a true competitor to NTFS on systems with limited processing power and memory. NTFS on flash memory has been known to be inefficient for quite some time. exFAT’s smaller footprint/overhead makes it ideal for this purpose. Of course, only if your definition of “ideal” allows software to be proprietary and not open source.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Danny-B-:
Nice copy and paste ... However he asked about NTFS vs exFAT.

As said a couple of posts above, exFAT is supposed to be faster and less hungry than NTFS, you will notice very little difference though.

Personally, i'd go with NTFS.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfrzy:
How do I format a micro sd? Would I do it through the Prime?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Kur0saki:
So what i copy pasted, dont needed to take that tone!!!

Can TFP read NTFS microsd?

I put the micro sd in an adapter and formatet in the pc, just right click on it and pick format.

I thought 32GB was max?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] drherron:
this one is SDXC... I think 64 gig is another advantage of exFAT and NTFS over FAT32

[EVO 4G General] misery in motion:
I swear I must have the worst 3G performance known to man.. :(

No matter the time of day, .40 Mbps is "typical" for download, .20Mbps for upload. That's on good days. I'm aware of all the factors that affect speeds, I just felt the need to vent about it for once.

I live on an island in the puget sound in washington state and 3G reception here is horrid. And that's after they've made some upgrades to our towers. I really don't understand why our service isn't better considering I live within miles of a major navy installation (Whidbey NAS).

Been on Sprint's Everything Data plan since August 2010 with my EVO 4G, which also requires the additional $10 charge for 4G capabilities (the nearest place I get 4G reception is over 30 miles away). I feel like I'm really having it stuck to me in the pocketbook.

If I don't have WiFi reception wherever I'm at, I typically wont even bother with 3G unless I have to. I'm more likely to just leave it off to save battery life.

Okay I'm done ranting, thanks for listening. :cool:

I understand your frustration but i only get speeds like that when i get to work and everyone else shows up(2000+ people).

I am in a plant with a big project going on and it never fails at 6am the speed starts to plummit and stays that way all day. Until everyone leaves of course.

I feel for you putting up with that every waking moment though.

[Desire HD General] Formhault:
So, I am using MIUI 2.1.12 with LorDModUE 8.6 CFS 2WCR kernel.

I have installed 4EXT Recovery Controller and CurrentWidget.

With CurrentWidget, I monitored the battery while charging until it reached 0mA (which means the battery is as full as it can get).

With 4EXT Recovery Controller I removed the batterystats.bin file.

I drained the phone until it shut itself down. Then I charged it (without powering it on) until it was full (LED was green).

I power on the phone... 99% battery.

I plug in the charger... it says 26mA (which means it would reach 0mA as in full charge in another 20-30 minutes).

WHAT THE HELL?!

This never happened while I was using the default CM kernel included in MIUI. Only happened with Tiamat and LordMod.

--

Seriously, guys, what is the best way to calibrate the battery?! Perhaps I should not have let it shut itself down, but plug the charger when the phone was at 1% (which lasted for another 20-30 minutes, by the way)?!
[Desire HD General] monki79:
if I don't remember it wrong the LED turns green at 90%.
[Desire HD General] -shadeless-:
afair the battery doesn't get charged during booting. which means that you probably lost the 1% during boot.
[Desire HD General] deepnijjar:
I also used the same method and got it calibrated correctly

but is their any other way too ?
[Desire HD General] Formhault:
The LED turns green on AOSP ROMs at 90%, when the phone is ON, as far as I know. When it is OFF, it works fine (goes green at 100%).

I want to hear from the developers / those that know how these codes work and stuff... Cause I don't want to look at my phone how the percentage goes down so fast, then, when it reaches 10%, I can play Pocket Legends for another 20 full minutes -.-
[Desire HD General] hopscotchjunkie:
The battery doesn't charge to full capacity first time around. When I used to calibrate the battery I would charge until it was drawing 0mA, then reboot; it would be drawing about 26mA, so I'd charge to 0mA again and reboot; it would now be drawing about 15mA, so I'd carry on charging to 0mA, reboot, repeat, repeat and repeat until it eventually continued to draw 0mA after a reboot. Then I'd delete the batterystats.bin file.

As one of Google's engineers says, deleting your battery stats isn't going to improve your battery life. I haven't done any of that for a long time now and I've noticed precisely no difference (except for the extra time I've gained by not having to wait for it to finally charge up to full capacity).
[Desire HD General] Formhault:
I know about Google's statement.

The battery would drain fast, then, when it reaches 1% or 5%, you would be able to use your phone like it had 30%. Just that it shows the values wrong. Calibrating the battery should fix that...

Anyway... I'm not going to struggle any further.
[Desire HD General] fremce:
I'll tell what I've done;

- I have installed Battery Balibration app and CurrentWidget,

- Waited battery charging till reached 0ma,

- Removed battery stats and restarted,

- Then waited to drain battery and shut-down itself,

- I connected USB charger to

PC and TURN ON THE PHONE !!

- Again waited battery to reach 0 ma,

- Then plugged off and monitored that current widget shows the

range btw 3-10 !!

I don't know exactly if it helps but, maybe you should turn on your DHD while carging..

[Desire HD General] atomantmk:
Right, with Battery Calibration i have solved my problem with battery, now i can use all day without charging.
[Desire HD General] Duwie_80:
Sorry if my question is a silly one...

what's the point in calibrating your battery? I mean... except for the stats (and I guess, the percentage in the bar), do you improve your battery life by calibrating it?
[Desire HD General] fremce:
Some says it's irrelevant, calibrating it's just an illusion :D

But did calibrate my battery and my battery life is improved too terrific !! :rolleyes:
[Desire HD General] Formhault:
I don't really know. It would be silly for the Android system to display the battery percentage (up there, in the status bar) by reading the batterystats.bin.

My phone's battery level drops somewhat fast, then, when it would reach 30% or so, it doesn't drop as fast. Also, at times, when I reach 10%, 5% or even 1%, I am still able to play an intensive game like Pocket Legends for an extended ammount of time (30 minutes, for example). Pocket Legends is CPU/GPU intensive and it also requires an active Internet connection, so I'd say it's pretty power hungry.

I don't really get the entire purpose of calibration. I have done it and I can't seem to notice any difference.

I'm going to do it again, now, because I switched to a Sense ROM (RunnyDrOiD). I'll monitor the battery with Battery Monitor Pro. When it reaches +0mA, I'll reboot and so forth so forth until it's drawing 0mA, although I doubt I'll resist that much time, so I'll just delete the batterystats.bin after a few reboots, when it reachs 0mA.
[Desire HD General] Dlog:
If everybody knew the meaning of the word "calibration" then nobody would talk such nonsense.

Calibration improves the accuracy of the percentage shown!

The illusion is that you improve your battery life with it....
[Desire HD General] Formhault:
As I said... calibrating the battery may fix the "problem" where once you reach 1% / 5% you can use your phone like it still had ~20%.

It suppose to be a silicon case with a battery build in(1500mah ..not bad), I don't know the dimensions but I just someone might think it as a solution to our 1230mah small battery(with this you have a total of 1730mah which is plenty)

Ok. So my grandfather is a tech freak and he asked me to find him a good touchscreen phone, so I thought that WP7 would be a good choice for someone of his age because the size of the tiles...

He uses his phone only to make phone calls and to add/edit contacts. Maybe read (not write) a message once a week...

That's why I was wondering if anyone can tell me if there is an app/tweak that would allow me to add a tile that would work as a direct CALL shortcut to a person it is linked to? The way Android and jailbroken iOS do...

Thanks in advance...
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KimWinter:
You can pin contacts to your homescreen.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drupad2drupad:
You don't need to jailbreak the phone to do this.

Go to your contact list. Tap on the person you want to have on the home screen and you will find three buttons at the bottom. Click on the 'pin' button and you will have that person on your home screen! Simples.

EDIT; I meant you don't need to jailbreak 'a windows phone' to do this ;)

And this might be better off in Question & Answers section.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ROCOAFZ:
To add to this also, you can make a group and pin it also to the screen, like "Family". When you click on the group it will only show those that you placed in it which you can click on to call, text ec.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] StevaSRB:
Thanks for the replies. I saw earlier on a youtube video what you were referring to about pinning a person...

But I didn't get a reply on one thing... Can that tile be used as a direct call shortcut? Without it opening the contact info and than selecting a number to call.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PG2G:
Nope, just a shortcut to the contact card
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVH3:
By default it cannot. But an app could be written to do this. It will still require a confirm to call, similar to using the SmartDialer app.

There are plenty of apps that will take you to favorites to directly dial a specific number of a contact. Unfortunately, none of the ones I found allow you to pin that particular favorite to the main screen. Maybe I should write an app to do this.
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaitanya91845:
