[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmokram3r:
Hey Guys,

A few days ago my home button stopped working so to exit out of apps I had to press back heaps of times to get home and it was all good.. This morning I pressed the side power button when i had some water on my fingers and I think that killed the phone :(

Now all it does is load the Galaxy S splash screen, then 5 seconds later it will turn off and then splash screen again.

When I take out the battery and put it back in, the splash screen loads again as if im holding the power button when I'm not.

When I hold the volume down button while putting the battery in, download mode comes up but only for 5 seconds.. Then it turns off and in a few secs download mode comes back on for 5 secs etc..

Anyone know how I can fix this?

Had my SGS for 1 and a half years and only now its giving me all these problems!

Thanks.

You can try putting it into a can full of rice (literally, the phone must be surrounded by rice), just in case it is a humidity problem...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmokram3r:
Didnt ask for a smart ass answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunne2k:
Didn't try to answer like one, go and help yourself. Bye!

Ungrateful bastard :/

I thanked you instead since you actually came with an possible answer
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cosmokram3r:
Sorry I didnt realize you were actually being serious until one of my friends recommended the same thing today!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sunne2k:
You see, sometimes it's better to ask politely if someone is being serious or just joking...

Anyway, back to your problem, did you manage to solve it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
I took a new 32GB mSD, copied directories of music, ringtones, TiBu files, etc. to the root directory of the mSD in preparation for the Note (using a computer, directly to SD). I do this with all of my new Android devices.

I rooted the Note before I did anything with it, and popped in the mSD and started the phone.

The first thing I noticed was that TiBu did not find any files in the default backup directory. After some looking, I found that all those directories I copied to the root (again, using a computer), are now under a directory called external_sd.

I shut down the phone, took out the mSD, popped it into the computer, and all I see are the directories I copied, right off of root.

Using Root Explorer--I see that /sdcard is /dev/block/vold/179:28 and external_sd is mounted at /dev/block/vold/179:33.

Why is this? I have had about fifteen Android phones and none behaved like this.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jamesd86:
When you hook your note up to the computer do both sd cars mount separately ?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] StaticMatt:
I have only used Samsung Android devices, but out of all of them that I have had, each one has behaved this way. They mount the external sd card inside a folder inside the internal sd card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Zabalba:
The Note (and other galaxy phones) use the internal storage as the "SDcard". The actual SD card will show up like you said under external_sd. Most if not all apps work off the SDcard. You can however direct TB to use the external_sd.

I have a separate problem all together were my music files do not show up on either storage.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] MobileData:
This is because the Samsung Galaxy line (and the Infuse) have a 2 gb system partition as well as in internal 16gb SD card which is labeled SD and an external SD card slot which will accept up to a 32gb MicroSD card. The external SD card is referenced as external_SD on your phone. It's just the mount point that Samsung chose for the external SD card.

Hope this helps. If so, hit thanks, over there -------------------------------->

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Err0xx:
I have the Sandisk 64gb MicroSD in mine and its been perfect. Several others on the note forums have the 64gb as well. 32gb isn't the maximum size.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] snovvman:
Thanks for all the replies and explaination. I have an Epic 4G, which is a Galaxy S, but it does not have the internal SD. I will have to check my Galaxy Nexus to see how it is.

Follow up questions:

1) I used SanDisk Memory tool and saw that the Internal Memory is shown as being "x.x (bytes) of 10.8 GB Free". I thought the Internal is 16GB?

2) Is there a way to force the phone to use the external SD as the SDCARD? I have a class 10 card, I'm not concerned about performance, and I rather have a memory card that I can remove. It makes it easier to transfer large video, picture, backup, or music files.

Thanks.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sashusmom:
I have an infuse and anything I put on the external microsd is seen by the phone- apps installer sees the apk's, e-readers can find my books, etc.

On the note, I have the same set up on my external sd card. But the apps installer does not see the apk's, the books are not seen. The only way I can install the apk's is thru the file explorer- the stock one. I am completely stock. When you go to the storage, you see the ext. sd card has content by the amt of space left.

What the Note did find were my ringtones- sms and reg. ringtones- and were selectable by the Note sound settings and contacts.

So the external micro sd cards are being seen differently by the Infuse and the Note.

If you go in preference of ti, u can tell it to search whole device it will find it on micro sd.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
Please could someone help me in using Adb to allow me to transfer more files on the sd card without root? I don't know how to do it and would appreciate if someone could explain it to me.

Thanks
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] XTC_ExQuisite_:
If you open the start menu on your computer and right click computer, click properties you should go to some menu and in the top left it will say device manager I think, then you will go to another menu search for other devices or your phones name which should be something like don't Ericson 4.0.A.2.... etc. Something beginning with 4 and has dots a zero and A. Lol

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
Sorry but that wasn't even relevant.... to use adb you need android sdk.

move apps to sd? command is

adb shell

setinstall location or something like that.

move files to sd is

adb push filename /sdcard

thank me if I helped.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Michealtbh:
adb shell

pm setInstallLocation 2

reboot
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:
I would thank, but it seems that I still don't understand. I ain't very deep into Android-know a few basics but I'll need a lot more than that to help me (no offence intended). Thank you
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fma965:
download the android sdk or a adb package.

extract/install the package/sdk

download adb via the sdkmanager if using the sdk

then load adb.exe via cmd e.g shift + right click - open command window here.

type 'adb shell'

(make sure usb debuggin is on on the phone and usb plugged in.)

then type 'pm setInstallLocation 2'

then type 'reboot'

then type 'exit'

all without quotes.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UndisputedGuy:

[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
some questions i jst thought i had to start a thread for it

what is the fastest ICS sense rom?

what is the fastest ICS nonsense rom?

what is the best kernel with each rom?(highest availble pls)

can you pm me with benchmark results of the rom if u have.(u dont have to go though the trouble) all benchmarks pls from antutu benchmark

ran ARHD, hypernonsense, virtuous, insertcoin RCmix by my knowledge that are just some good roms. only thing i care about is that i have beats and a pretty damn fast 1,7 ghz rom

also a question standing aport from the above main question:

anyone playing mc3 has loading isseus like only maploading takes a minut or 2? anyone knows how to get the faster loading(heard it could go in 10 or 20 sec) tryed moving to sd and phone
[HTC Sensation] Kamyluuu:
1. ARHD is pretty fast on 6.2.1 and with 1.7ghz kernel I had ~3300 points, with 1.5ghz ~ 2900 (in quadrant)

2. Hypernonsense IMO is the best as nonsense rom on stock kernel (1,2) I have now 2600 (quadrant)

3. As I know there's only one available kernel for ICS http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1424345 It's overclocked stock kernel.
[HTC Sensation] Alienator9191:
thanks funny part is im switching between those 2 roms now:P
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Calkulin:
This ROM is completely stock with exception that root/busybox is included and it uses the stock(No CWM) kernel since no repack exist. Once a repacked kernel is available, I will reupload the ROM to include it

All must be flashed through CWM, so flash the modem also in the same CWM session because once you reboot, you won't have CWM

Factory reset \ Data format is HIGHLY recommended(use FORMAT ALL attached before flashing)

I haven't had any time to try out ICS yet...either way, I think it would be a good idea to start posting logcats /w any issues we find. If anyone from sprint/Samsung is watching these threads, it would probably help them out and speed up development on their end. Maybe even a thread specific to build version with logcats, then tweet it to Samsung.

Maybe Samsung would be (even more) forthcoming with leaks is we gave them something in return.

Came over from a EL29 ROM, gotta say, this is running beautifully. So far the only problems I've encountered have been that Chrome Beta froze up multiple times...stock browser works well enough, so no real problem there.

When I try to connect the phone to the computer, I can't get the MTP drivers to install. Apologies if this has been addressed already, haven't gone through every page yet.

This brings you to the USB Mass Storage screen. I had my device plugged into the laptop, told me to unplug. I did, pressed the button on the screen, plugged back in, and all worked.

Hope that helps.
