the problem is that Samsung love this!

This is a multi- layer problem because it is not always the seller who is the perpetrator of the fake cards. Many ebay sellers buy bankrupt stock from auctions and the like and themselves believe them to be genuine - they come in very good fake packaging which has to be destroyed in order to open and test them. Having said this there will be genuine surplus and bankrupt stock which can often be obtained at a fraction of the original retail cost and it is in consumer interest that this stock gets to market. I bought such a card for a third of the Samsung price and whether it is genuine or not it does pass all the tests and works well in my device. However being wary I did email Samsung support quoting the product ID and sending close up photos of the packaging - an email which I know they receieved because of the auto response. However did they reply - no they never did and I suspect that they are interested in keeping consumers "uncertain" because they do not want to lose out to discount sales. Cards could be stamped with a unique individual identifying code that you could register on a website and the database would easily pick up if that number had been registered before so it could at least warn you the product might be fake. It would take a little setting up but would be self managing after that and I cant imagine that machine printing unique worldwide codes would add fractions of a penny to their costs

I am beginning to believe that it is probably better to buy a much cheaper branded card with the right specs as there is less value in copying these in the first place, Come to that how do we know that Samsung products are genuine and not badged up 3rd party stock

I purchased a "Samsung" 64GB "SDHC" card off of Aliexpress recently. I didn't catch it initially since they showed the retail box in the picture, but the card that I got says "SD HC" and not "SD XC" like a real one and came as a bare card in a snap case with a micro to regular SD adapter. However one of my readers will only show it as unformatted 1MB where as my Samsung Fascinate running AOKP 4.2 would see and access the full capacity (apparently) after I formatted the card on a linux computer as fat32 with the 32kb cluster size.

It is labeled as Class 10 and I was getting what seemed to be a consistent 20MB/s on the card, so in that respect the quality is good.

Also the Samsung logo is rubbing off and noticed the 32GB and under real cards have a blue capacity logo and the real 64GB cards have a white logo, with the U1 logo as well. The fake card also has the gold sticker on the back that says "good" in lower case.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Stonent:
Here's the card's picture. I sent a dispute request to AliExpress for it being counterfeit brand name merchandise. I asked for a 50% refund because the capacity seems to be correct, but the brand certainly appears to be fake.

Here's what a genuine 64GB card should look like:

I tried peeling the "good" sticker off and just the plastic came off and the gooey gold was stuck to the card. I used some orange cleaner to get the gold off and it says Made in Taiwan, not Korea like the other Samsung cards. The serial on the card did not match the one flashed into it.

Fake Micro sd card on Ebay

I purchased the same item from a seller on ebay 2 weeks ago, I now have a dispute with him on ebay right now, he is refusing to give me a refund he wants me to send it back to china for a replacement, his website on ebay said the item was located in Edinburgh but it came from china, his account has now been suspended and his website has been taken down by ebay he is in communication with me but I am getting nowhere with him, does anyone have any suggestions how to solve this, I have to wait untile the 7th September before I can take it further,

Jack.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] el56:
When this happened to me, the dispute resolution centre at eBay gave me a full refund via Paypal. So long as you launch your complaint in time, you should get your money back (especially if they took down the vendor's site after your sale).

Just be persistent in making sure your claim is filed within 45 days of the sale. You may have to wait but make sure your claims is in soon.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jackitec:
Thanks for your reply, I have opened a case and I am in communication with the vendor and ebay, the guy still refuses to give me a refund (last night) so I will take it further with ebay today I will let you know the outcome.

regards.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jackitec:
Just to let you all know I received a full refund including postage from Ebay this morning and I have just to keep the card, now I have to start the process all over again, this time I will make sure they are genuine before I order, thanks el56 for your help,

Jack.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] jorgeriva:
this is a picture of a card i bought from amazon a year ago. its a real one. i think the easiest way to spot a fake is to looking how whe word "samsung" is printed in the card. comparing to the pictures here and the items sold on ebay, if the letters are wide o rough then its a fake. i think samsung take a good care or that process. also i see that the word "64GB" is different in the real one.

sdcard/Android folder

No, don't delete it.

What does it contain? Does it have some com.SOMEAPP.SOMEVERSION folder in it?

Try seeing what takes most space in it, probably some app saves some info where it shouldn't.

Perhaps your backups are saved in there, are you doing them with CWM ?

[HTC Amaze 4G] rbaruch:
HTC build quality is always lacking. HTC light bleed, flash leaking, squeaky chassis (remedied with a piece of microfibre behind the battery
[HTC Amaze 4G] zPacKRat:
HTC seems to get so close to greatness, but misses the target. Light bleed, cover that does not fit as tightly as it should and creaks, weak wifi. Don't get me wrong I love my Amaze, it's a far better device than the S2, just wish HTC would hit one out of the park.

[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
I find it confusing that the connectors that the hox uses are the same as ours, but that's where the blame is being laid on. I guess their case can just get warped to a greater extent than our creaky one can?
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Maybe I got lucky, but I don't think so, I ordered mine first day they went on sale Oct 10/11 - I have had No creaky case/hardware issues whatsoever, even with a "battery cover replacement" :angel: this year, still as solid as when brand new, the additional cover is just as solid as the original.

I think the Amaze is easier to open than my MT4G was.
[HTC Amaze 4G] realitysconcierge:
I also noticed that the offending connectors on the hox are in the exact same place as two of ours.

Calico, did your amaze come with any screen bleed at all? Just curious
[HTC Amaze 4G] Babydollll:
Oh please....:rolleyes::rolleyes:

I have the One X (as well as the SGSIII on TMous). Those issues, (while very real for the people that have them)are greatly blown out of proportion by a small minority.... :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:
Yeah had a little screen bleed, that's about it - but that's an easy fix especially now.

I remember there was a bit of panic for a few peeps on the Amaze forum in the first few weeks, it was funny as heck - at least as far as I was concerned :-)
[HTC Amaze 4G] CalicoJeb:

This is the way how to unbrick samsung galaxy s

If you have a black screen like the one shown above and you cant boot into recovery and download mode there are three things you need to do:

1. Take Battery out

2. Connect phone to computer

3.Whilst putting battery in press Vol-Down+Power+Home button

This will boot you SGS into download mode and you can just flash a rom with odin
[Galaxy S I9000 General] superkoal:
This won't help you if you hardbricked your phone (what usually is defined as not being able to get into download mode at all).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Rahul.raj:
Add "softbrick" in title.

I think Softbrick is the term people use for the state. I had the same problem on Friday night and got a thread by searching for Phone-!-Computer on Google.

To clarify on the OP:

Step 2 is optional IMHO, I attached the phone after I got into download mode.

Also, to explain step 3: Press the three buttons, and keep them pressed while inserting the battery, and and the phone should get into download mode instantly.

[HTC Rezound] kancherlapraneeth:
At a time phone can have only one ROM installed.. just download a ROM of your choice from " Rezound Android Dev" threads and flash on to your device
[HTC Rezound] EmerikL:
Unless you have boot manager.
[HTC Rezound] SlimMan:
Don't know anything about the phone, was considering a buy of one in this state, so what do you mean by this?
[HTC Rezound] AshtonTS:
Boot manager is an app that lets you dual boot roms. If you don't know about it you probably don't have it. You have to put it on your phone manually :)
[HTC Rezound] tonictonic:
Man this just seems fishy. If they knew how to "empty" out a phone they could have easily put it back to stock at least. Sounds like there's something else wrong with the phone and this is just a cover.
[HTC Rezound] killahrey:
Unless he doesnt know what he is talking about and what he actually did was wipe system in recovery. If this is the case, yes its "fixable".

[Motorola Atrix 2] ewandroid:
My data speed for my atrix2 MB865 is so freaking slow! When i used the app speedtest to test my speed I only got 22kbps!! Can u guys imagine how frustrated I am when I want to browse the internet or loading the flipboard app:(

But I realize when I disabled the data then enable it again,the data speed is fast and I can download app from the market quickly,but when the signal icon turns blue the data speed got slow again all of a sudden. I don't understand why

The signal indicates I got 4G but the download speed is very slow! Someone else got the same problem?
[Motorola Atrix 2] Apex:
Do you have:

(1) "data delivery" box ticked to enable data delivery over mobile network in settings>battery & data manager>data delivery

(2) do you have the "data saver" box un-ticked?

The second thing is probably what's causing you grief if the box IS ticked, so if that is the case you need to un-tick it and you're troubles should be over! :cool:

I'd start with checking these. As far as the blue vs. white icons for 4G -this just shows if (when white) network isn't synced or connected with Google servers and (when blue) it IS connected.

let me let u in on a little secret. you are going to LOVE me.

Steps to get a FREE Battery from T-Mobile + about $7.00 shipping.

1. Call T-mobile customer care.

2. Make up some BS excuse why ur battery isnt working. say the phone gets really HOT and ur battery life is about 15 minutes and now the only way you can make calls is if your phone is on the wall charger.

3. when they are trouble shooting, hint that you think it might be a bad battery.

4. they will offer to mail you a new one for about $7 shipping.

5. If i helped you PLEASE thank me. :cool:

If I understand correctly, you want to be able to press the home button and get to choose from your launchers? Then go to Settings > Applications, select the currently default launcher and press 'clear defaults'.

No perhaps , because my English are not that good.. What you write is what I don't want and already happening..

Let's say I have now Apex. Default launcher is Apex. Ok?

I select Nova. But when I press the hardware button it goes back in Apex... I want when I press the hardware button to stay in Nova and goes to first page of Nova.

So every time I choose a launcher I want to automaticly set it default.. Isn't this possible? With just one click of a shortcut.

I already can do it but every time I change launcher, I have to set it default every time..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yashleo21:
Let me frame this for you in a simpler way ;)

For Example you have APEX launcher as ur default. Go to Settings and then go to Apps/Applications.In that list select APEX Launcher.Scroll down and there you will see an option as "Clear Defaults".Click that.After doing so whenever you will press the home screen button it will ask for the launcher you want to use.

Hope that helps :)

So I'm currently on .17, rooted but locked. I want to upgrade to .30 but I don't know whether I should do the Asus upgrade method and use root keeper (then I don't need to do a full system backup).

I like the Asus update so I don't have to mess with backups but I would like to have a backup of .17. Is there a way by ADB or an app to make it put my /system & /data and anything else I need into a BLOB or ZIP file that if I did unlock and put CWM on later I could restore afterwards?

You could use the 'ddms' tool (Or similar, in that linking) in the android-sdk to try and pull an entire copy of your tf in 'blob' form that you could have as a backup, but there's no way to just restore that, since it'd include the lower version as well.

I'd try Titanium backup and backup as much userdata as you can, and OTA rootkeeper to keep root.

PERI and wolf's root exploit still work though afaik
