Ok, when you format it in the PC, if you're using Windows, choose a cluster size of 32k in the format window. It gives a better read and write speed, especially read speed. So the SD card shouldn't take that long to show files. In general you'll see the card is giving faster speeds, both on the phone and when transferring files from the computer.

Also there's another way to increase the read speed of the SD card in the phone, which is by setting a higher read ahead speed. If you want to know more you can search about it, but otherwise just install this app SD Speed Increase, set your read ahead speed to 2048kB and tick 'set on every boot'. You shouldn't feel any SD lags after this. This speed increase is only on the phone though, won't reflect if you're transferring files from a computer. You need to be rooted for this to work.

Anyone had this problem?

Randomly I'll wake my phone and it'll be in negative mode (where all the colours are inverted). I can fix it back selecting negative mode, then going back to normal, but it's very annoying!

Many thanks

Hello,

sorry if this has been answered before and I was not able to find the solution. I'm quite new to SGS2 (SGS1 kerneldev) and I think I'm missing something obvious here.

- Tried to upgrade 2 SGS2 (I9100) from 2.3.3 to ICS (stock Samsung) via Heimdall 1.3.1.

- Always end up in looping "S" logo.

- Tried flashing with bootloaders, without bootloaders

- Tried flashing with and without PIT

- Flash usually works fine, no error messages from 2.3.3 to ICS.

- Last try: XWLPG

- CWM works, download mode works

- Flashing back usually ends with issues flashing the Gingerbread modem

- Only I can flash and boot is a KK5 GB one.

I found a lot of threads with looping "S" -> to be solved via factory reset/wiping cache/removing battery -> does not work for me.

Used Heimdall cmdline:

/usr/bin/heimdall flash --cache cache.img --factoryfs factoryfs.img --hidden hidden.img --modem modem.bin --param param.lfs --kernel zImage

The only difference I can spot ICS/GB is that GB has a data.img, ICS does not.

Any help woul be greatly appreciated, thank you.

Could be a problem with Heimdall. Have you tried with Mobile Odin, assuming you're rooted?

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mialwe:
Ups, sorry, was answering fast as I was outside with my kids. Well, I generally trust Heimdall as I use it almost daily for various kernel versions and quite often to test new ROMs with my SGS1.

Is there a known issue with Heimdall/SGS2? Never read about something like that, that's why I'm asking. Until now I thought I'm missing some (important) step as the flash process did not give any error message and recovery works fine, the partitions look ok (after flashing Speedmod and mounting them in CWM -> ls -l /system /data /cache...) - only the "S" animation runs forever.

I'll try again tonight, not enough time right now. Thank you for trying to help.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mialwe:
Thanks again. Mobile Odin + repacked XWJLG worked coming from KK5+Speedmod.

I still don't know why Heimdall does not work for me on the SGS2 but at least this is a workaround. Thank you.

Hi,

I am from india was updating after i got a push message today, phone is already running the Latest ICS ROM. today it downloaded a 7mb update after which phone restarted for installing the update, the update was installed after which phone restarted again since then phone has the word "SAMSUNG" flashing.. I tried to wait for more than half an hour. But it is at the same point...

I tried to go to the hardreset menu "volup+menu+power" it does not go into that menu too. An android symbol comes later it goes away n finally it comes to the same point of flashing "SAMSUNG"

Please help, lots of data on phone memory :eek::(:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andreww88:
Did you try volume up or volume down + power + home?

Have you tried to get into recovery and just wipe cache and dalvik (not factory reset/data)?

If it doesn't work, you will have to try to Odin (if you can get in download mode). If that doesn't work and you don't have a triangle, take it to Samsung and tell them their OTA update messed it up (which sounds like it did).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akiainavas:
You need to enter the recovery ( Volume UP + Home + Power ) and clear cache. Do not select "Wipe Data/Factory Reset" as it may brick your phone. It it doesn't come up, try taking out the battery for a few seconds, and then try again - i see no reason why it wouldn't work.

If it won't work, try entering download mode ( Volume DOWN + Home + Power ) and flash a stock GB ROM via Odin - you can find all stock ROMs in dr. Ketan's guide in Development forum for Galaxy Note. After that you can clear cache and boot. Once back on GB you should do a factory reset, but since you probably need the data on your phone, clearing cache should be enough to boot.

Ah glad that i have company.sad at the same time!! Even i have the same problem after the 7mb OTA update. The andriod process closes often and hangs the phone.

The phone was literally unusable. Hence i tried to install custom gingerbread rom on it. Now its almost completely bricked.

How irresponsible is samsung to roll these things out without testing it thoroughly.

***PLEASE DON'T INSTALL THE 7MB ICS OTA UPDATE***

hopefully we can save some.

I am not sure what to do now. Any idea ?

"Honey, I screwed my Note"

Till yesterday I had my Galaxy Note on Android ICS official release. It was rooted too and everything was super smooth. Then I got an OTA update available message and I was hesitant at first whether it will remove my root. It didn't look like much of an update since only the kernel version was changed from LP8 to LPA. But after much consideration I went ahead with the update. It looked fine. After the update finished, the phone restarted and updated all apps. I was happy root did not go off too. Then I ran Titanium backup and took a backup of all my apps. Everything was good. But I left my phone at night and morning it was turned off. The battery had drained completely. I recharged it, but now it didn't start at all. I tried removing the external SD card thinking that some problem might have occurred with all the news about ICS and eMMC problem on Note. But nothing worked. The phone would start and Samsung logo would come but it gets stuck there for more than an hour. I read on XDA that I should try flashing to stock GB and I downloaded it and tried flashing with Odin. But it failed too. I removed the USB connection from the PC and now the phone wouldn't even boot, and I mean it's completely off. I tried holding the power button, power+volume_up+home, and power+volume_down+home. I kept holding for two minutes and still nothing. And now when I connect it to charger using the wall outlet charger, it does not charge. And if I connect to USB also, nothing happens. Tried running Odin but it doesn't detect anything.

And to add to my woes, I am currently onsite at USA and since I have the International N7000 model that I had brought from India, they wouldn't service it. I guess I am royally "bricked". :crying:

What I am still wondering is if it's really possible to mess up the phone so bad it wouldn't even show a single sign of life!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motionexecuter:
I have the same issue .. anyone around the whole of xda know what to do ? I updated to ics then rooted it for the first time. Did not installs any roms nothing. Just rooted to access titanium backup.

Recently I updated the same as it showed up and after that I cannot access my contacts or phone or call list .

Other than that everything works fine, luckily for me it's not bricked.

I tried killing the process still didn't make a difference.

I can call ppl by searching through gesture search though but doesn't give an option to msg.

What should I try ? I don't want it to turn into a brick though, any proper answers would be really appreciated.

IM posting the various screenshots I took after this whole problem started. Hope someone can help......

If your Note is Bricked! then it won't open...

You read my Story.

Theres a lot of Samsung Service in Philippines but different owner. I went to Samsung last 2 days. Then they asked me What Happen? Im so stupid i accidentally told them that i flashed it using ODIN. They told my Warranty is Void because of ODIN. They gonna charge me for Changing Motherboard. I said no way i will pull out my Note.

Next Day i went to other Samsung Service Center i prepared myself then They asked me again what happen? This time i'm careful. I told them that i just Restore Factory settings. Then they check my Warranty. Then they said Okay you call us tom if already fixed.

Then that afternoon i received SMS from Samsung that my Note is fixed already ready for pick up. That's it. No payment... One thing i have a 2 costom binaries there. because i rooted it.

If you have a warranty do not say i flash it thru ODIN. ODIN. ODIN.

Guys ! You have installed the OTA update on a Stock ROM which was rooted.

I think all guys have to cool down and read this !

You are having issues because you have installed OTA on a rooted ROM.

It has most probably nothing to do with EMMC bug or Hard Brick.

I also donot recommend flashing via Mobile ODIN for ICS as someone has suggested.

To solve your problem ,

1) ODIN Method

a) go to Download Mode (Power Button + Vol down + Home)

b) Flash the ICS ROM posted in Dr.Ketan Thread in the PDA

Remember that options are ticked according to this image.

Donot tick repartition.

You can root it by Heading to Dr Ketans thread.

2) CWM Method (Custom Firmware)

a) go to Download Mode (Power Button + Vol up + Home)

b) Flash the ROM close to LPA without any Reset or Wiping.

This will endup with a custom ROM Clea Note (LPA Rooted)

Too late to check that..

I reinstalled the stock ics ROM using mobile Odin pro. Works fine now... Yipee..

I can access the contacts and phone options too :-) ..

And for some reason it does not show the yellow triangle even though it used to everyone before..

But previously I lost the phone and contacts button on the main screen ..

How do I get it back to how it was ?

And why is there no file manager still ?

I see only 3 icons now instead of 5...
