Thank you both for the quick reply!! I don't feel like so bad now Agat, if you haven't tried this yourself either ;)

Actually, I said that the card

wasn't

formatted, which should clear up some confusion :good:I just found this in another thread pertaining to the S3, & it's basically the same message that I received when trying to format:

This was also said about the S3 by d4fseeker,

So, is this why I am getting such errors on the E4GT? I can simply delete all file from the sd from my pc, but the point was not to plug it into the pc until after I wipe the card. Also, I don't need the files on the card, so I'm cool with losing the data. Nothing important to save!

So, is there a way to wipe the card or cards from recovery? Not sure anything's even on the external, emmc? Everything seems to save to the internal on Samsung, as I'm coming from HTC's.

Just wanted to give an update. After fully charging for the first time on the setup (FH13 stock rooted, Agat 0.5.4, FI03 modem), I achieved almost 31 hours of light use, with an hour of screen time.

I didn't really use the phone all the much, because I've been fairly busy the past two days with studying for exams, but its alot better than what I was getting before with light use on pure stock OTA FH13. I was getting about 21 hours of battery on light usage, about 15 normal.

So this is definitely alot better. Gonna see how the battery does for the next few days before I dive into the ExTweaks and Governors. Here's a screen:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I've never tried it from CWM either. I would still format storage from a working rom if you do not have a card reader.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Wiped ROM! :D

When you say card reader...you're simply referring to a card reading on my pc? If so, connecting the phone to the pc do the same, unless I'm not understanding?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
It should if you card is in tact.

Theoretically you can format you card from pc while connected to PC via phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
A card reader is a usb reader you can plug the miniSD card into and read it on a PC. If you do not have rom or backup to restore to on the internal SD (and the external isn't formatted), your only choice is to use one of the one-click odins to get a rom back on the phone.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Wiping all contents is all I need to do, so formatting isn't really necessary, I don't think, but it's the only option in recovery.

I do not have the ability to read miniSD's.

I am confused as to how internal SD's operate then... If the data is wiped either by deleting files & formatting the sd card, why couldn't I simply add a ROM zip back to the cleared sd card & flash from recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Why are you trying to do it in recovery?

Just connect phone to pc and delete everything from sd card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Concerned about something on card, that's why I want to wipe it, but at this point, I just want to be done!

:)

Still curious about tdunhams last post...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
That's what I'm talking about.

Connect phone to pc via usb cable.

Mount usb and you will see both. External and Internal SD card on your pc drive list.

Delete all content from both and than unmount usb and you're done.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Just one-click odin to flash new rom to phone. It will not format either the external or internal SD but you will be able to boot then. No CWM, only rooted rom after flashing so you need to read the OP of this thread

---------- Post added at 04:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 03:58 AM ----------

I thinked he already wiped the phone Agat. No rom to boot and mount from.

Edit: When I mount through CWM, my PC will only see external SD, not internal.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Okay, hold on...

Now I'm really confused.... The phone always gets wiped before flashing a new ROM from recovery. Still not sure why you're suggesting Odin & back to a rooted kernel?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
When you flash rom the phone get wiped but your personal data is untouched.

Unless you wipe/factory reset your phone even your apps are untouched.

If you wanna wipe your personal data you should wipe/factory reset you phone from recovery or use Calkulin's format all zip.

That will take care of your internal SD. Your external sd is still will be untouched.

To clean your external sd connect your phone to pc, mount usb and delete everything from card.

You will have clean phone with clean sd card. If you want to return phone to sprint and you concerned about them seeing it's being rooted just flash stock unrooted rom using oneclick.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
I was under the impression that:

#1 You do not have a nandroid backup on the phone.

#2 You have no ROM to flash on the phone on the working internal SD.

#3 The phone is not booting to a ROM currently because you just wiped it.

If your pc cannot access the storage so you can copy a ROM to flash to it, your choices are limited.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Actually, the internal sd is untouched with a factory reset/wipe, as is the external. Not concerned about taking phone back...

---------- Post added at 12:15 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:10 AM ----------

Ahhh...there's the misunderstanding...I can connect to a pc, I just didn't want to connetc!

At this point, I am guessing that the following is true as posted earlier:

And, I'll forget trying to wipe the cards from recovery & do it on the pc. Curious though, do you guys have the option to "mount /sdcard" from the "mounts & storage" menu, because I do? Not sure if that mean I need to remount or if that option is always there.

Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Internal is not untouched.

When you wipe it should delete all personal data and all downloaded app data.

What ever was there when you both/got the phone will be there.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
From recovery "Mount USB" allows you to mount your sd card to PC.

The option is there if you boot to recovery to flash something and realize you forgot to put it on sd you don't have to boot to system to do it.

Just connect phone to PC. Mount USB. Move whatever you want to SD card.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Agat is correct.

My original statement stands then. If you want to easily format either the internal or external storage from a working rom, go into Settings/Storage.

You will have to first unmount the external SD to be able to format it if that is what you wish to do.

Edit: And by 'Unmount', I mean there is an option in that menu to do that.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
By internal I mean where the ROM zips are stored. They remain after a wipe... The emmc folder refers to the external card on the E4GT, I believe...

Also, I spoke to soon about being able to connect to my pc. Getting the following message in Agat:

E: Unable to write to ums lunfile, etc...

Maybe I do need to "mount / sd card from recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
What recovery you on?

If any of my recoveries you should be able to connect.

It's last option in menu list under mount & storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
You will get this error if you try to use the Mount USB storage in CWM and it does not detect an external SD card. I just tried it a little while ago.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
v0.2.0
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
You should be able to connect to PC but not mount in recovery.

If you can boot your phone to system and you don't want to connect to pc just boot to system and format external SD card in

settings->storage as suggested above.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
+1 The error he is getting in recovery Sd is missing or cannot be read so it can be mounted.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
I have never got into any trouble like this before, but it really seems like I'm screwed. When I connect to my pc, it say found "samsung mobile mtp device" but I cannot access the device via the pc.

Do I need to "mount/sd card from recovery, as per my earlier post question? Not sure where to go from here. The only thing that I've done differently than I always do when wiping & flashing, is to try & format the sd card, & I am now in this position :(

---------- Post added at 12:37 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:36 AM ----------

So are you saying I can try "mount/sd card" from recovery?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Download an app called USB swithcher and you will have old good USB mounting option again.

Not all pc's have drivers for MTP. So there might your problem.

With that app you can switch between MTP and mass storage.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
How can I dl an app...I have no ROM...

---------- Post added at 12:48 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:39 AM ----------

Also, again...do you guys have the option to "mount /sdcard" from the "mounts & storage" menu, because I do? Not sure if that mean I need to remount or if that option is always there.

UPDATE: When mounting sd card I get "Error mounting/ sd card"
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] agat63:
Now you got me confused as well.

Why don't you make it easy on you.

If you don't have a rom put your phone into download mode and flash one of the one click roms.

After that you will have all options available to you.

Mount as card in system, unmount and format sd card from system settings->storage option.

Delete content of your external sd via PC.

Just choose a full wipe one click rom and it will take care of your internal storage wiping all personal data and apps.

You will need rom anyhow. Why not start with it?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Was just thinking the same! Can't believe this happened!

Thank you both for your help trying to figure this out!! Rather embarrassing!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Hey Agat63 & tdunham,

Just wanted to thank you both again for your time last night & thought I would at least post an update. The short of it is...

I reverted back to stock, out-of-the-box EL29 kernel, then re-rooted & installed CWM, using one of sfhub methods. From within the ROM, I then formatted the SDcard, which was the crux of my problems & what I was trying to accomplish last night, & WHICH I NOW KNOW TO DO BEFORE I WIPE THE ROM, & NOT TO ATTEMPT VIA RECOVERY! I then flashed my ICS ROM, & used Mobile Odin to flash Agat recovery once again! Didn't want to take any chances with another recovery while on ICS. And that's about it, if I don't include the countless hours spent researching, downloading & uploading files, & setting up my device again just the way I like it!

I have confirmed what I believe to be the cause of much of our confusion last night. The E4GT does not come with an external/micro SD card! However, the internal storage, the location where flashable zips, photos, videos, etc are stored, is referred to as both the SD card & USB Storage by the device. This is of course in addition to not being able to format the "Internal SD card" from recovery, (In recovery, the location where flashable zips, photos, etc are stored is called "Internal SD card"). Still with me? Here's a review video of the E4GT demonstrating the lack of external SD card on the device.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5lh-uoN6VZ0&feature=player_embedded

To cut to the chase, FF to the 55 second mark in the video & then again to the 2:50 mark, if you're interested.

There is a detailed explanation of the storage functionality of the E4GT in the 2nd post here:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ep...ing-internal-sd-card-storage.html#post3916993

But I'm sure if you have the device, you already know all of this...

A quick question for you tdunham... did you ever try to re-flash the Google Now zip via Agat's recovery, after cajunflavoredbob re-uploaded the files on 9/21/12, as per your findings? Great catch BTW!

So, thanks again to you both, your efforts are much appreciated. Your threads & posts have helped me in the past as well!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Glad you spent the time to research the phone and the differences.

I told you the error was due to no External SD being present/readable. :p

Sometimes we have to find out things the hard way. I would recommend you spend the $10-$20 for a MicroSD card to put in your phone for future use. It will give you additional storage to copy stuff to and also you can then mount it from CWM recovery like we were trying to do last night so you can copy files to it if the recovery is ok but the ROM won't boot. But mainly for additional storage.

Lastly, backup your setup! I backup often and frequently. Pay attention to how much space you have left on Sd since backups do take up a lot of room and you may need to delete old backups to make room for more.

Google Now is working great! I am very impressed with it. I disabled all of the Google Now options in settings. I am more interested in the basic functions than finding out what my Sports team is doing and from what I understand, it can be quite the battery hog if everything is left turned on. :rolleyes:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] GWashington:
Yeah, I do back up, I actually wanted to wipe & start fresh this time, just w/o all the extra headaches! The only operation that I was trying to perform out of the ordinary was to wipe the sd card...that would be the internal sd card :p. Now I know to do that from the ROM. So simple yet as a result of my ignorance, I spent hours of my time, & some of yours as well;)

In regards to G Now, I had it working great as well, with the manual install. I'm curious if you were able to flash the G Now zip via Agat once cajun updated the files? I ask because I'm curious, & because I would prefer to flash the zip rather than doing it manually, just because I want that to work! Didn't work for me last time I tried to flash it, but that was only a day before you discovered that the installer script was out of sequence!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] tdunham:
Yes, I flashed the Google Now M7 online/offline and it worked fine.

I keep getting notified that an update is available. I know it is the one that nukes unified search, so I don't want it.

How do I get the notifications to stop, without installing it. Also what would happen if i accepted it on my rooted phone, would it brick the phone, or unroot it, or something in between?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] slickdaddy96:
You can't accept it rooted with custom recovery. If you have custom recovery you have to flash back the stock recovery, and I think you can flash the zip file located in the developer forum. You can get universal search back by then re-rooting, and re-installing CWM recovery. Download the apk for universal search found here: http://forums.androidcentral.com/sprint-galaxy-s-iii/187903-update-2-l710vplg2-2.html#anb

Then you will need to put the new apk file in your system/app folder (not sure it matters what you name it but to be save name it the same as the current one in there and delete the old one or just make it a .bak file). Then reboot. I think it will install automatically on reboot and you will get the functionality back. You may have some permission issues, if you do then you need to boot into CWM recovery and run fix permissions.

To answer your original question I don't know how to stop the annoying update reminder.

My xperia arc s has a total of 339 ram useable while xperia sola has 368 ram useable, I really have no idea why xperia sola will have more useable ram when it supposed to be a mid-range android phone when ours is supposed to be a high-end... Both phone has 512 ram but the only different is xperia sola has a different graphic card and duel core processor.

Please share your thoughts below.
[Xperia Arc General] Riyal:
Like you said it has a dual core processor. Probably they reduced the dedicated memory allocation on some functionality of the phone and let it rely on the power of the processor instead.

Await your kind suggestions.

Thanks !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slaphead20:
All I will say is this......a lot of people flash a Rom and then instantly moan if it's a bit lagging..... my theory on this is that they might be in a data connection and after a full wipe it could take some considerable time for everything to synch up again... thus causing some short term lag.....also moaning about battery when the stats haven't had time to recover from a flash is ridiculous. My personal opinion and experience is that, yes, I firmly believe a settling in process it's necessary, I always wait a week before passing any real judgement on things, and if I don't like a Rom then I just flash another....I don't start posting on the thread comparing to other Roms...... that to my mind it's extremely rude to the Rom creator, and achieves nothing whatsoever, just my humble opinion :)

Also in my experience most bad user experience is caused by a singular lack of ability to read simple instructions..... and those people really get under my skin! :D
