Sdcard Damaged :'(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
It's not the end of the world.. Put the sd-card in an adapter and backup all of your contents, then put it back into the phone and format it. Put the backed up contents of the sd-card back onto the phone and you're done.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midy:
I tried this too...

Here's the problem:

When I flash the rom on my phone, the lonely way I can read my sd card is to enter to recovery mode and format and backup and every thing I want.

When I try to read it or format it with an adapter on my computer or with my phone in the sdcard preferences, it says that the card is damaged.

When I format with the recovery too and try to read with 'mont storage" it's good on my computer and the card is empty. But when I boot on my phone, I have the same message: sdcard damaged!

Other way to use my sdcard is to do a backup and return to my android Froyo and then every thing is all right but I'm not upgraded :@ :@

I haven't found any way to upgrade my version without having this problem with my sdcard...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Well if your data is corrupt either way, just do a full format in Windows. Put it in the card reader, go to my computer, right click the sd-card, format. Then UNTICK "quick format". This will take a few minutes.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midy:
Now I think I'm in a big mess!

I did what you told me but it didn't work and further more, the recovry don't want to read my sdcard anymore, so I can't restore my older version now...

I have now the first version I had the day I bought my phone...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bortak:
Well this is strange, at least you're not in hot water with your phone not booting.

Lets try a more advanced partitioning wizard. Download gparted and burn it onto a cd or make a bootable USB. Then try re-formatting the sd-card in that. It could be a case that your sd-card died, they usually come with lifetime warranties so you should be able to get a new replacement for free.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] midy:
My Sd-card isn't dead, I can explore it from my computer, it's just my recovery that don't recongnize it.

I downloaded Gparted but I don't know how to use it. It's not executing with Windows??

I will try another sd-card on my phone where I will put my restore.

Thank you for helping ;)

SdCard Damaged

I'm having the same issue after flashing a new ROM, my 64gig sdcard is saying SdCard Damaged. I can't view the contents on PC as it never mounts the sdcard. I can see the sdcard on my Mac but can't access the contents. I really don't want to format and lose all my photos from my last trip (I know I should have backed up this first, but have flashed so many other ROMs without an issue before).

The funny thing is I can boot into TWRP recovery and still access my ROMs, kernels and on programs from the sdcard. I had the same issue with my 500gig external USB hard drive and I just repaired it using my Mac file utilities, but will not let me repair the sdcard.

Any suggestions to recover my data? Just really want the pictures, everything else is backed up.

Do you want to share your apps socially and talk with people about apps you love? You should check out Nappstr.

Nappstr gets its name from 『Napster』 and 『apps』, since we posted its apk here last week. There are already some people have their hands on it and they seemed pretty much enjoying it.

It is also a good idea for devs to post your apps and games there so you can share it easily with friends and followers on Facebook, Google+, and Twitter.

You actually talk with your users in a Twitter style, synced to your chosen network at option. I can not post link here but you can try nappstrdotcom. It is not in Google Play yet. I hope you enjoy it.

[HTC Sensation XL] Coktail:
I already try....when i start there is written sd car not inside or attached.
[HTC Sensation XL] nashshafrulrezza:
You doing it in wrong way man.

1. download es file explorer from playstore.

2. enable root acces on es file explorer.

3. go to system/etc with es file explorer.

4. find vold.fstab.

5. long click it and choose open as text editor.

6. find this line "dev_mount sdcard /mnt/sdcard 34 /devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0"

7. change 34 to 33 and save it.

8. reboot.
[HTC Sensation XL] Seker94:
You can do it via PC by using [Notepad++]....Edit the file and change the value from 34 to 33 then click save and push it via ADB to your phone, this is how to do it step by step after you change the value :

-connect your phone to PC, and open CMD

-type the following:

1 adb remount

2 adb push vold.fstab /system/etc

3 adb reboot
[HTC Sensation XL] shingers5:
If your phone isn't rooted you cannot push files to system folder mate. You also cannot change the value using root or es explorer. You need to lock bootloader flash device ruu and start again. Before you flash custom rom again please read first and ensure you have correct rom for hboot. Put rom and supersu zip files including vold zip on sdcard before you do anything. Flash the files after flashing rom zip before you reboot. Once you have full root then vold edit is easy

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j03uen:
Hi guys,

I have one of the early CM9 Nightlies installed on my note.

Now, I have always had the issue of a battery drain where the battery would only last less than 10 hours after a full charge, despite having very minimal usage. I have tried resetting the battery stats and calibrating the battery again, but it does not help the situation.

Lately, I have also noticed that despite the phone not being plugged into a power source, the phone reports that it is still charging. Ultimately, this prevents the phone from going into Deep Sleep. I used CPU spy to check, and it seems that the phone never enters deep sleep. I have tried pulling out the battery which removes the 'always charging' issue and allows the phone to enter deep sleep. However, as soon as I plugged in a power source and remove it, it comes back.

I have a feeling that this is the cause of my battery drain and was wondering how to fix the 'always charging' problem.

Any help is appreciated
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Princeomi:
Try cleaning your USB port
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devid801:
If it does not log in deep sleep then:

1. activate the flight mode (ICS settings \ Other \ offline mode)

2. turn off the notes

3. remove the battery for 10 seconds and return it

4. turn on your notes

5. expect everything to be loaded

6. remove the flight mode

7. occurs with Cpu spy if the cpu enters DeepSleep . When there's nothing to do, the CPU should go into "deep sleep" state, which means basically stopped, so it consumes very little power. Some programs can name this transition to deep sleep impossible, so the CPU remains at 200 MHz and drains the battery more than it should.

This happens for example if you are charging the phone and disconnect it from the cable while the screen is off. While charging the CPU is at 200 MHz all the time, and when you disconnect it should go into deep sleep if you're not using the phone, but this does not happen and it keeps running at 200 MHz.

Cause. Corrupt skin for the "Super clock" in Beutiful widgets app.

Solution. Use other skin

From mikhan Cause: process usbunmounter or smth like this after using usb flash drives via microusb host adapter Solution: kill the task or just reboot

From vcespon Cause: USB cable (Charging or connected to PC) unplugged while Screen off Solution 1: Reconnect USB cable and unplug with Screen ON Solution 2: Reboot phone

From handfish Cause: DirectoryBind Solution: Uninstall App

It is a known issue with a kernel wakelock called l2_hsic search for it on question xda forum. It is a radio or a USB running system process. How it is triggered we don't know, hope Samsung devs will find it and fix it. To reproduce it try Tunein from app store, when you are listening some radio the process l2_hsic is on the wakelocks the same time with the tunein but it disappears after the use of it.

Rebooting the phone always helps.

Hope it helped you a bit. Even it leaves it unclear!

Is there any APP that makes a fixed wallpaper?
[General Questions and Answers] RustiX:
Hi all! I'm a considerable new comer to the world of Android. I bought my Sony Ericsson Live with Walkman in April this year and I have been running Gingerbread 2.3.4 build .62. I rooted it by following the steps listed out here.

Now that ICS is out I would like to give it a go. However the Update Center app on my phone says that I have the latest software and even PC Companion and SUS says the same thing (although sony says the update has been rolled out for my device's SI number). Anyways I found the ROM (ftf File) online and thought I'd do it manually via Flashtool.

On looking for a way to root it I found a tutorial by tracer123 where the polish blood project kernel has to be flashed. While trying to find out more about this kernel I learned that WiFi tether is not working and this feature is pretty important to me; the other features that don't work aren't quite as important and I don't mind not having them.

So my question is, is there another way to root android 4.0.4 on my LwW?

P.S. - I did find a tutorial similar to tracer123's (where the it's downgraded to a previous version, rooted and then uploaded) in the Sony support forum but since 4.0.4 is the first version of ICS to roll out to LwW I was stuck once more :(

[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Skox:
Hello,

it's a little bit difficult to explain my problem. it started few days ago when my 7.7 didn't turn on.

Then i read about the trick to press the power button longer than 10 seconds and it really worked. First I was glad but then i found out, that my picture gallery and my mp3 player was empty!

First I thought that everything was deleted, but that wasn't true. The files are still there. In fact it seems that the system has changed the "/sdcard" area to "/root". So the apps can't find the files.

I uploaded a file where you can see what i mean. On my Smartphone is also a "/sdcard" instead of the "root".

My 7.7 is rooted, no other modifications have been made...

Who can help me to solve this problem without doing a reset to factory setting..
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] vegaman:
That's just how the stock file browser shows it, it's not actually mounted at /root.

If the gallery and music player are empty you could try giving it a little time for the media scanner to add your media. If it doesn't show up, then wipe the data of the media storage app and restart your tab. You may have to restart it again after it has built its database to get everything working properly.
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] Skox:
i wiped the data, didn't work :(

what if the internal storage is really mounted as /root now? what can i do to change it?

because the empty gallery and mp3player aren't the only problems now. if i take a picture, i cannot use the preview to look at it. it says "no elements" then. so i think its a problem more deep in the system...

i really dont understand how this could happen, i just turned the tab on.. :(
[Galaxy Tab 7.7 General] LBN1:
If you have ES File Explorer, it should show that same "root" folder as actually being the internal "sdcard" folder. I don't think it has anything to do with actually being rooted, it is just how the built in File Manager lists the folder.

Another option, perhaps Fix Permissions in Recovery may fix your issues.

Hi all has anyone had this happen to there HTC charger before ?????
[HTC Desire S] eyahl:
Bike in the background!! :D

Sorry for offtopic...
[HTC Desire S] fasty:
Sorry to see that; hope it didn't damage the phone.

I never had problems with my Desire S charger but I did have an issue with a previous HTC charger. The "clip on" UK-specific plug part was not making good contact with the rest of the charger and it was arcing, starting to burn and worked intermittently. I returned it to HTC and they told me it was fine. I was NOT happy!

As an aside, regarding your photo, I would be interested to know whether the lettering "HY77" on the printed circuit board appears to be the same material as the other circuit tracks (i.e. copper coppered in green insulating lacquer)? If so, there just may be a fundamental design issue with that charger (to be fair, probably unrelated to your failure).

Notice that the high-voltage (mains) circuit tracks are separated from the low voltage (USB) circuits on the board by a strip with no circuit tracks where HY77 is printed. This is designed to assure good insulation from the user to the mains. The general technical term is "creepage and clearance barrier". If the lettering in that area is made from copper track material, it can act as a partial bridge across the safety barrier, making it less effective. Not a good idea. On the other hand, if it's only silk-screened lacquer, there's no problem.

Power saving appears to cap the clock speed at 1.0 GHz rather than 1.4 GHz and it may also disable cores, too. Most of the time it feels just as responsive to use. It is less snappy for some apps and benchmarks quite a bit slower, but I feel I'm splitting hairs as it still feels quicker than my last handset.

I see two days of moderate use with Power Saving on. I don't quite see two days with it off, but the difference is probably not statistically significant and the device is still new.
