emmc bug

I go have the gnex from canada with the chip VYL00M..I assume ..since my phone dies after an on off operation..seems the emmc bug is affecting our phones but no one is talking about it..I have updated to the official 4.0.4..u know the yakjuux story..worked for a week and then died..I tried the omap flash tool and no luck..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Theshawty:
The Galaxy Nexus does not have the notorious eMMC chip bug that haunted and still haunts the Galaxy Note and quite possibly the Galaxy S2 as well.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Verizon LTE Nexus here, purchased on launch day.

mmcblk0: mmc0:0001 SEM32G 29.7GiB

mmcblk0boot0: mmc0:0001 SEM32G partition 1 2.00 MiB

mmcblk0boot1: mmc0:0001 SEM32G partition 2 2.00 MiB

Looks like the LTE version is different. Bigger (boot?) partitions, probably due to the LTE versions having 32g to use instead of just 16.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JaiaV:
Theshawty is correct.

I probably missed a bunch. Anyways, from what I gather our phone is generally accepted to be exempt from this problem due to a number of factors: we have the newer eMMC firmware verision, this bug seems to be caused by an erase command used specifically by ICS-based ROMs and kernels based off of official Samsung software and not AOSP (for example, CM9 is exempt) meaning that the Galaxy Nexus typically shouldn't have this bit of code to begin with, and there are no confirmed cases of this particular brick occurring for our devices.

I should mention that the data corruption mentioned in the OP is not caused by this bug. If you had this bug there is no known solution to fix it, and no amount of erasing data will solve it as the erase is what is breaking the eMMC to begin with.

This is also irrelevant for the most part:

cat /proc/kmsg | grep 'mmc0:0001'

This is the set of commands typically used to detect the firmware that causes the issue:

0x0

0x0

These are the most important lines. All GSM Galaxy Nexus should read 0x0 0x25, which should be immune to this problem.

TL;DR: Nothing to see here,...move along. These are not the droids you're looking for.

Whatever it was that caused the spontaneous corruption, I did a warranty swap months ago and the new one didn't have the problem.

[Motorola Droid 4] acidsython@aol.com:
I have been hearing a lot that the DROID 4 and the DROID Razr are very simaliar... If thats true then is there a Possibility that the Razr fastboot files cold work on the DROID 4?
[Motorola Droid 4] RueTheDayTrebek:
The hardware is identical.....

EXCEPT for the keyboard (maybe the screen, too??). If you have a spare Droid 4 laying around, why not?

For even the above casual user this might be a little much. I haven't had much luck with getting my fully functioning Droid 4 to be recognized by RSDLite.

Although, I do want to know from the developer here, HOW CAN I HELP??

I don't want to just take take take, some of us want to give back.

I bricked my spare Droid 4, and everyone should be really careful with SafeStrap, and backup everything (including the webtop).
[Motorola Droid 4] mattlgroff:
Droid RAZR fastboot files would probably work on the Droid 4, IF we had unlocked bootloaders. I have tried every combination of DR fastboot files on the D4 and the /system/ partition is never properly signed for the D4.

We need a full Droid 4 update or Droid 4 fastboot files to get back to working order, the Razr won't cut it.
[Motorola Droid 4] gdeeble:
Without trying to sound too stupid here(lol), but could we not make a stock nandroid backup and dump the image in the fastboot file by chance, and change the md5 inside zip?
[Motorola Droid 4] omniuni:
The problem is not hardware, but rather encryption. Quite simply, we need a properly signed and encrypted software bundle to load on the locked bootloader. If we could sign and encrypt the bundle ourselves, the locked bootloader would not be an issue. The Droid Razr is a different phone with a different encryption key, so we can't use those fastboot files on a D4. We also can't sign our own Nandroid, so we can't load that either.
[Motorola Droid 4] RueTheDayTrebek:
Is there anything that I can do to help?

I'm really eager to get into Android development, and would be willing to pursue the path in getting these signed drivers.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmill600rr:
Hi everyone. I have been looking everywhere i can and i cannot find any existing threads explaining how to fix this.

First off I am a little bit of a noob when it comes to rooting. I rooted my phone using a one-click method yesterday and was flashing roms fine. I couldnt find anything i liked last night so i restored the backup i made. This morning i was going to flash CM9. My phone was fine this morning. I turned off my phone and went into fastboot mode. When i went to recovery it came right back into fastboot mode saying "no boot or recovery image". No matter how i turn the phone on it goes to fastboot mode. Also, i can't seem to get my computer to recognize my phone no matter what i try. I have pulled the battery and left it out for 30 minutes and still nothing.

What am i missing.

Thank you in advance for any help.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenrry:
I had a similar situation, don't get stressed, basically u'll have to force the phone into recovery, delete all the files in regards to android on ur pc, restart it, same for the phone, I don't exactly remember where it is but I think is around here on the forums at XDA that explain how to force the Nexus to be recognized by Windows again, or ;look it up on Google, lessons learned!!!

Also check the posts about Nexus being stuck on Boot and similar.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darius0519:
Since your in fast boot try to go to recovery. From recovery try to delete data and cache. Then try to reflash your rom. Chances are if it will not work. Maybe the file you downloaded is corrupted and u need to download it again.

PS don't forget to do a nand backup before flashing any rom or update.

I'm running ICS Passion with Kiss kernel 2.2 right now. My battery has always been iffy however, so i don't think it's the ROM.

I'd appreciate any help though:

This was last night. battery was fully charged at around 3 am.

I killed all apps.

by 11 am with very little use, it was down to 10%

When i look at the Top Apps, nothing looks like it's using too much CPU, so i'm not sure what's going on. Can anyone explain?

Why would i lose so much battery, when it looks like the phone was sleeping?

Thanks for the advice. I installed CPU Spy this morning....

Any advice?

Download Watchdog and see what apps are using your CPU. Also, turn off auto sync, as they might be keeping the phone awake by constantly trying to fetch new emails, contacts, etc.

I have Watchdog. it says Android System 5.4%, System UI 1.6%, Google Services Framework 1.0%. Everything else is below 1%

With auto-sync, is there a way to control this automatically. For example, i don't need autosync to operate between 1 and 7am, but want it to turn on again at 7am, and need it on the whole day so i can get my emails.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theking_13:
I don't think so, you can change the frequency of the fetching(updating) however. Or put the power control widget on your home screen and turn it on when you need to, and off when you don't.

[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I was browsing the LG Nitro HD forum this morning and in one of the threads somebody mentioned this app so I checked it out and am digging it so I thought I'd share.

The app is called Camera ICS, according to the developer it's an improved version of the official camera app in ICS.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/...1bGwsMSwxLDEsImNvbS5tb2JseW54LmNhbWVyYWljcyJd

Features

- Color effects (mono,sepia,negative,...)

- Silent mode (no shutter sound, might not work on some devices)

- Picture quality setting (low/medium/high/ultra)

- Video bitrate selection (normal/2x)

- Video stabilization on/off (only 4.0)

- 720p face effects (only 4.0)

- Panorama mode and time-lapse video on Honeycomb tablets

It's not a perfect camera app but for some of us it's perfect for our use. Like me. If I want or need something better then I'll bust out my DSLR. I like it and now use it as my daily camera app. I've done very little testing...taken some pics with this app compared to stock app, recorded a quick video with both and here's my opinion so far:

Faster focus

Better video recording

Less time between shots

Fewer options

No full screen viewfinder

Have to double tap pics to view them full screen

But other than that, it's lovely and fits perfectly with my ICS themed phone.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Trying now :D

Edit: LOVING THiS CAMERA....try it out
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Same here, it's pretty fast and does what I need it to do
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Just wish we could set it up to open with our camera button....only minor annoyance
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
??????

ICS camera opens up for me when I press the camera button
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
Hmm...my stock camera opens...
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Not gonna lie bro....when u said this I tested it on mine and my previous camera app opened (zoomfx). I closed that then opened ics camera, closed that then pressed the camera button again and ics camera opened up. Not sure why but no complaints.

**Edit**

Tested again, stock camera app came up but fc'd and the ics camera immediately came up. I went to manage apps and cleared data for the stock camera app, froze the stock camera app, now its all good.
[Motorola Atrix 2] DarkJatrix:
I believe u....its probably user error....i still love it tho
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
I like it, however

-Wish it could take widescreen pictures/video

-Wish it had drag/tap to focus functionality

Thanks for the heads-up!
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
It does take widescreen pics and video, it just looks like it doesnt when viewed in the gallery. It also has drag to zoom via slider on the screen and u can also use the volume buttons for zoom too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
OK, thanks for the clarifications about widescreen.

Sorry, I meant to say "drag/tap to focus" :o
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Yes sir....it doesn't have drag to focus but does have tap to focus....tap the shutter button, it'll focus and take the pic. And it focuses quick too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Chrisruns:
I tried this a few weeks ago and thought it was awful. The stock 2.3.6 is much better than ZOOMfx or this ICS one.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Thats the lovely thing about the Market, u have plenty to choose from. We all have different needs/expectations so its nice to have options......I have used stock, CameraZoomFX, Camera360.....I prefer ICS Camera for its faster focus, better quality pics and overall speed. It's also not bloated with a bunch of features I don't need so for me its perfect.
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
Ah, there it is :o. And right you are, it focuses very quickly.

I think this could be my default camera. Panoramic mode is flawless, and although it has ads... well, that's why we have a hosts file :). There's only one more thing that bothers me - barely any integration with the default gallery. I think that the default gallery is actually quite functional and has a bunch of settings that are lost when using this app.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
I was blown away at how fast and acurrate the focus is, very impressive. I ditched the stock gallery long ago, been using QuickPic and absolutely love it....and the recent ICS UI update to it is pretty nice too.
[Motorola Atrix 2] zeph_syk:
Tried QuickPic its amazing! and camera ICS as well! Thankz..
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Glad you like 'em. QuickPic is my favorite app of all
[Motorola Atrix 2] cogeary:
QuickPick is indeed great.

I actually think that, while ICS Camera is definitely better than the stock 2.3.4 camera, the improvements with the 2.3.6 camera outdo it. With the stock camera it focuses very quickly especially in low light, and although the theme isn't as pleasant on the eyes it is more configurable. Additionally, the video recording capabilities of ICS Camera are very limited. If you take a video in portrait, it is skewed, stretched, and cropped to be in landscape. Also since I'm on 2.3.6 and I haven't edited my hosts file the camera's ads are pretty annoying.

Just my opinion but I'm sticking with stock.
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
All very good points. This app isn't for everybody, it all depends what your needs are. For me, it's perfect and is now my daily camera app.
[Motorola Atrix 2] jshinn1:
is there a way to make this the app that comes up when i press the camera button? or am i stick with stock on that regard?

I agree, using the hard key is just more authentic and I think we need a fully functional camera apk. I'm using stock 2.3.6 untulil a better one comes out.

Because sometimes you ask people to take pictures for you and they will press the hard button and then you are stuck with an out of focus picture and you don't want to be that jerk who asks them to take the picture again lol :-D

Could you not tell them to press the button on the screen so it focuses as you hand them the phone? But I get your point though, I hadn't thought of that. It just seems like such an easily solved "problem" that i'm kind of incredulous at how many of you are pointing it out.

Nope but I will good idea

Edit: just emailed the dev I bet I'm not the only one that did tho lol
[Motorola Atrix 2] Gadgetz:
Good, that's how it would get done. I'm not against this functionality, it just isn't an issue for me at all since it's much easier to just press the shutter button on the screen.
