External sd or /emmc data corruption - Caused by tethering to PC?

My previous comment about this. This data corruption bothers me more than any other problem. Otherwise, I have few problems: dev-host downloads work fine, screen video seems fine too.

Does anyone else experience data corruption of their external SD card (aka /emmc)? The data corruption occurs when I simply mount (or tether) the USB cable to my PC and activate the data connection (CM is booted) to mount the volume on my PC. I see a rare mention of a problem with external SD card, but no specific mention of problems like mine. I wonder if I'm the only one using USB tethering with CM9 or what. By tethering I mean mounting the storage; not sharing wi-fi or anything.

I'm about to reformat my μSD card for the third time. No harm is done -- I've come to expect this somewhat. I'm going to format the card in my PC, cause I don't feel the need to boot CWM.

Other than the removable SD card, my phone is fully working and bootable. I shut it down as soon as I noticed the corruption. This is the third time this has happened. I pulled the card and put it in my PC for inspection / verification. It's messed up; there are many file fragments in LOST.DIR.

I think it's CM9-related and not due to any other fault. Of course, I'm not 100% sure. I'm making small progress identifying the problem. I did not do a screenshot, but I'll post one next time it happens. It doesn't always happen. It is not 100% repeatable. But it happens often enough to notice. I know I'm screwed when I see the discrepancy below. I don't even have to touch any files to cause corruption, just mounting it causes the woes. (That's my present hypothesis.)

A screenshot (from PC/Ubuntu) wouldn't show much, but it does (or would) show a discrepancy between the mounted volume (showing 8GB volume in the title bar) and the volume in the "tree view" (showing 1.7 GB volume). It's as if CM9 gets mixed up between the external SD and internal SD. Although you could say Ubuntu is getting mixed up, depending on your reference frame. But I have yet to notice this problem with XquiziT.

Please note I'm not complaining. I'm just trying to help CM9 port by reporting my experience.

What is the current code that is used for the camera?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
New Build

A new build is posted in the OP. This update fixes the microphone and adds HW accelerated video among other things. Still no camera.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I think your problem lies elsewhere. It's difficult to believe that the CyanogenMod team would let a major flaw like this slip through the cracks w/o even a mention. Also, keep in mind that this would also affect more devices than ours. Impossible? No. Just highly unlikely imo.

At any rate, I've had no problems with /emmc. My phone is connected via usb more often than not.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Have you ran a diagnostic on your card? Something similar to Windows' checkdisk tool may help. I had a similar problem with my PSP's MS before when an application corrupted some files and ultimately leading to corruption of the file system.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
All good points. I'm inclined to agree with you despite my earlier assertion, seeing as my post triggered no similar reports. Also, I have issues with rebooting when plugged in to USB, which no one has corroborated.

I may switch back to XquiziT for a time and see if I can make it goof up the same way.

Yes that's a good suggestion. I'll check into that and comment if I find out anything.

Thanks all.

I can't get hardware decoding to work with MX Video Player still :|

http://pastebin.com/gkEX3U3T

EDIT: Never mind, a reboot fixed the Wi-Fi indicator. Haha must have messed up when it initialized on first boot. Other than that this is a great build :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Thanks for the report.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] Wild_Frank:
The new build is great; the mic fix and the hardware accelerated video are huge. I'm curious about how Youtube broke. I saw it on the "Not Working" list and I assumed it was a mistake. Does anybody have any ideas about what's going on with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Random things happen when you incorporate new stuff into a ROM, just have to pinpoint the issue and fix it. I'll try to assist jocala in any way I can.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Just flashed the newest CM9.

This is my first time using the customized-for-Exhibit-II ClockworkMod utility. Those little refinements make it so much nicer to use.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] philhull:
Thanks so much for the microphone fix. I kept forgetting that the mic didn't work when trying to do a voice search. You've saved me a ton of frustration because of my own forgetfulness.

Fantastic work!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] pixeltrailz:
Does anyone else not have all the G-apps after the newest update? It was missing when i updated CM9 then i reinstalled the the most up to date g-apps. For some reason i dont have navigation and when i try to install Google maps from Play it says "Error. Incompatible with other application(s) using the same shared user ID."
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mahendra1020:
Does normal video playback work from stock galery? I tried few videos which I had in my ext card and it said this video cannot be played. MX Video player plays the video though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Works here, using mx player.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mahendra1020:
I was trying with stock galery.. MX video player works.. Thanks Jocala..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I just installed gmaps from the market. No issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I misread your question. The only thing the gallery plays for me is some mp4 files. No avi, xvid, mkv,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mahendra1020:
I too installed google maps just now and no issues..

Jocala,

Since the stock galery does not play videos, does it have anything to do with Youtube videos not working? I tried Tubemate as well and its also throws same error..
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
The only way to play YouTube videos right now is to actually download the video with Tubemate and then view it with another app (MX Video Player).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
My bet is on the new video code that was merged in today. I don't expect this youtube bug will survive for long though.

Is there any way we can make the battery life more efficient? I'm at 32% with 9hr55min of light use with no wifi/gps. I have had 3/4G on though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I use Easy Battery Saver, and sometimes switch over to JuiceDefender when I feel like it. Just customize it to your liking.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] skov11:
also a problem with the videos on espn.com. havent been able to get any of them to load on the new build

I don't get no vibrate on touch i don't use it but someone else might want it. No wifi issues here:confused:
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] mahendra1020:
For me vibrate on touch works. Did u enable it in settings?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
I got some bad news. It seems that this latest build breaks the MIUI port.

ADB logcat out just repeats: "Netd 1.0 starting"

Over and over again.

The phone still sits at the Exhibit II screen and wont even show the boot animation.

jocala I know this isn't your responsibility to support my project but do have any ideas?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] gavingt:
I'm unable to download from the Play store on the latest build. Anything I try to download, free apps included, gives the message "Error processing purchase".

EDIT: nevermind, it's working fine now.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
No problem here. Make sure its not something with your google account. If you still cant get it working try a factory reset or downloading later. Maybe the markets having an issue.

Is this on wifi or mobile network?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] gavingt:
Ahh it's working now. Must have just been a server issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Haptic feedback only works inside keyboards for me, nothing else.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
nice work jocala! Love the update, opening the drawer feels much smoother,and the homescreens preview is MUCH smoother on my nova launcher prime. And also, kudos to the voice fix. Just a few more steps until it becomes a daily driver (for me at least haha). Will post something if I notice a bug (although i doubt I will).

Running quite nice! read through the thread quickly so if already noted sorry...

While charging battery gets quite hot but charges much faster that 2.3 maybe that is why.

also screen never times out at all...

besides that and all the noted bugs nice work!!!

:D
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
I'm sure that's related to the posted youtube bug. It's semi-working on a build I just compiled (sound only) so it's being worked on upstream. Also on this morning's build Android version is bumped up from 4.0.3 to 4.0.4

Things are progressing nicely :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
Works Great!

Been using it since yesterday. GPS, Music, Scramble w/ Friends all better than ever on this rom. Had a couple force closes with Chrome, and haven't gotten the Amazon android market to download or install yet, but also haven't given it much of a shot yet. All in all, very solid build!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
I don't know if it's just me, but chrome is crazy slow compared to the stock browser. The stock browser is nice and quick.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] arth_ur:
Great work! Laggy dialer

Nice work Jocala!

It works quite nice for a beta.

I have used this rom for 2 days now, and my only issue is the slow reaction of the dialer. It is loading slow and changing tabs slow. I also encountered this behaviour on the LG Optimus ONE, but much slower, so it might be to much of a bourden for the CPU.

It might help to keep the dialer in the RAM.

I think it uses more battery than stock, but I may be wrong (lack of testuing).
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] crhylove:
The mic also doesn't work over Bluetooth. Dunno if this is known or not, so just adding that in!
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Sorry you're having trouble with the dialer, it's working fine here. Everything's subjective, ymmv,etc.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Can I get a couple of confirmations on this? I don't own any bluetooth headsets. Not doubting you, crhylove, thanks for the report. Let's see if it's more than one device.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
Is anyone else having issues with the phone lagging so much the call can't be answered?

I just got a call and the ringtone was actually lagging and skipping. I think this is because the phone was in that deep sleep idle mode and the minimum CPU rate is set too low. Maybe I should consider raising the minimum to 245 Mhz.

This is on a clean install with no additional apps and no google account.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Hey jocala, you wanna get on the IRC like old times?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
How is the call with everything default? Any issues?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
It's great. No issues.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
Yeah I did find 125MHz minimum make my phone really laggy, especially when I unlock it. 245MHz is the way to go.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] braski:
My phone only rings one time during an incoming call

Edit: no issues with it on default cpu speed but i change the governor to ondemand answers fine rings fine only once tho
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] jocala:
Well, that's a bug.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] joshua.justice:
I tried the Bluetooth but didn't get a chance to talk, it was static-y like it was about to break up.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
I always raise it to 245, I can't deal with it below that, takes way too long to start up and stuff. I still get plenty battery life out of it.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] danny8:
Yes, I've noticed that too. Very laggy. It didn't occur to me to check this until this morning. I'm also disappointed in my headset volume although I think that has nothing to do with whatever ROM I'll be using.

I never mess with the performance settings, other than to look at them. Now I think I will.

What is the consensus on improving phone call answering? Should I change my CPU governor, the min frequency, or both?

I'm also willing to take a battery hit to improve performance. Since I rarely get phone calls I think I should be answering them.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] SurgeRush:
I use setcpu, I change the min and set it to ondemand, seems to work the best for me.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] dennis96411:
I find interactive to be the best governor.

Do you mean a live widget?

[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] arco68:
These are not needed anymore. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] lolitsjae:
You can use setcpu, but with this CM9 ROM, you can just change the CPU governor. I set my cpu on performance mode, max 1024 Mhz, min 1024 Mhz. Runs perfectly smooth. It does take up battery quite quickly though.
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] HunterAtXDA:
Every single time I've gotten a call while my phone was idle. My ringtones never lagged or skipped though. I just increased the minimum CPU frequency, so hopefully that'll fix the lag I always get when waking after a long sleep. Thanks for bringing it up.

Thanks for all the work! Build seems to be working wonderfully for a beta. I'm seeing an influx of battery issues with my regular battery... but when I popped in the new battery it seemed to discharge correctly and then charge up just fine. I'm thinking the Battery issue is something that fixes itself with time. I'm using the old battery for the night and tomorrow to see if its smooth sailing.

Is there any idea why the Cam isn't working? Just a driver issue or something more?
[Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4G] KemikalElite:
It's supposed to aid the GPS in low signal areas by detecting precise movement.

Oh yeah and I was able to 4.0.3 --> 4.0.4 with no wipe.

Out of boredom (and to procrastinate on updating my guides) I've decided to attempt compiling again. I only wish I had a second monitor so I would need to run Counter Strike in windowed at the same time, Excessive Unnecessary RAM FTW. I wonder what error I'll get this time.

Success! I finished the build process and got an output package.

Now all I have to do is try to modify the source to make something that work for MIUI. I have a feeling MIUI not booting is caused by those hardware acceleration commits. I should stop working anyway since its past 4 AM.

@jocala

couple things,first i would like to thank fate for deciding you should own the same phone i do.benefits me greatly,thank you.

in addition,i decided my favorite mod at present,is kem's first miui port(the one with the on screen controls).

to that end i put the zip back on the card,and,proceeded with the install,and,i get error 7.hmm?, i said.i rewiped,even powdered,and made sure every dingleberry was gone,and,error 7 again.

a quick search on this gave me an idea.i had installed,you're newest cwm recovery(the one with the romwipe feature,and just one yes or no option).

i reinstalled the old recovery(odin version),and the rom installed ,no problem.

thought you might find that interesting.

i have not gotten that,or any other error when installing any other rom,using the newest recovery.

I LOVE THIS ROM! Thank you this is a great build but the only things that im sure u know is the gps and cam. And the battery is consumed quickly. But other than that great rom.
