Thank you for your help.

Does the phone create the folders as soon I insert the card the first time?

Sorry didn't buy one yet, hence all the questions, I would otherwise just stick it in and see what happens.

My weather widget keeps saying I'm in "Waterloo" no matter where I am. And I'm in Gwynn Oak, MD (Woodlawn/Catonsville). It was working before, but after this update it started acting crazy. I tried clearing the app and disconnecting GPS and reconnecting. Still not working

Any ideas

Hey,

So I have the latest version of Clockwork recovery mod which lets me use an external sd card but Cyanogenmod 9 ROM doesn't recognize the external card and in fact wants to format it.

I'm using a 64GB Sandisk card and the latest nightly build of CM9. Any help appreciated.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mopral:
Your SDcard is formated to FAT32 or exFAT?

Because CM9 is not able to use exFAT
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daelyn:
ExFat formatted sdcards are not supported because its proprietary. XM will never support it.

Reformat it to FAT32 and it should work fine.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kab343:
It's formatted to exFat. What's the best software to format it to Fat32?

CWM wiped my ext sd when I flashed new rom to so just updated to latest cwm touch as well... Lost my nandroid backup was on ext sd :(
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
It doesnt wipe your ext card, it should only be unable to read it. Use "HP Usb format tool" or any of the other tools you can find throqgh forum search. You're net the first to ask =)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kab343:
I've been trying all the suggestions I can find in the forum to format my card to fat32 but nothing is working. Still exFat and not working in phone.

Would mounting the sd card in a usb connected reader rather than in a card adapter help?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] daisun:
I had a similar problem. After installing CM10 my 64gb sd card was no longer readable whether on the phone or a computer. I simply restored my nandroid backup to a Samsung rom and used the phone to format it back to exFat. I would suggest you let the phone format it for you.

On a side note, would using a exFat capable kernel such as Siyah Kernal enable exFat support on CM9 or 10?

/edit nvm, re-read the Siyah Kernel post, it says its supports CM9, AOSP and Samsung roms! exFat on CM9&10 here we come!
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kab343:
I made this mistake of putting my nandroid backup on my external sd card which has now presumably been wiped. Can re install base Samsung rom, but jp really keen to do that.

Let me know how the kernel goes, if it works I might try flashing it as well. Would be great to have exFat support. Will updating CM9 nightly mess with the kernel?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tux821:
got fat32 working with HP USB Disk Storage Format and other phone

Took me some time, but finally this fixed it for me:

0) As you need to wipe the 64gb exFAT sdcard, first backup the stuff you want to restore later.

1) I did put the micro sdcard into an sdcard / USB adapter.

2) Then mounted this into my Windows 7 PC and formatted FAT32 with 'HP USB Disk Storage Format'

(free to use/download).

Do not use quick format, do a full FAT32 format, yes this takes some time.. :D

3) Put the formatted card into another smartphone and just do a quick wipe/format again. :p

I used my (old) HTC Desire S for this with CM7 ;)

Did read this on an other forum, there a samsung galaxy s2 was used.

4) Finally put the sdcard in your Samsung Galaxy S3 with the CM9. :silly:

5) Restore your saved stuff from step 0. :good:

Now ex FAT is removed this sdcard now also mount easy on my main Ubuntu 12.04 LTS ;)
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d4fseeker:
You can replace steps (2) and (3) with the HP Usb Format tool: http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/Hard-Disk-Utils/HP-USB-Disk-Storage-Format-Tool.shtml

It allows you to format >32GB disks to FAT32 on the computer without having to rely on another phone

Thanks a lot, your instructions worked. I did part 3 on my old ZTE Blade and now my Galaxy Note sees my 64GB SDXC card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] JB calhoun:
Custom roms improve batt life greatly because on a stock phone u have tons of apps running in the background if u root and flash a rom u can freeze all of them that u want plus now we can over clock our kernels to make r note fly as far as the rom for u ....well u just have to try them diff strokes for diff folks lol i use cm9 roms alot u got to remember ur note has a huge screen so its gonna pull more batt...i also use jucie defender ultimite ...bigjoe has a super everything thread for this phone u can find all ur answers there

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spade1031:
Ok first keep in mind I came to android with almost the same background as you and about the same time.

Question 3: anything with Go in the name I have seen huge team usage... also custom Roms will be a great thing for your ram you will see big changes if you go with anything like AOKP AOSP or AOCP. These are as close to basic unmodified android as you will find with little to no extras.

4: cyanogen mods are good in my opinion, nightly builds are not finals they are updated nightly... as for a Rom I tried a few and have found my favorite is the collective builds.they just came out with the AOCP (newly updated coming soon) and there is one member of the team that likes ultra slim builds and he slims them down to the bear bones. When ready to flash give them a shot.

5: flashing will void warranty, with that said so did the crack you have. This counts as physical damage. So insurance is the best option. I do agree best buy ins is great but as you have att ins might as well use it. With a crack screen I think you will get a different device to fix charge port but will most likely get refurb phone. I would root and flash with this one so you can do it and IF anything goes wrong you need an instant replacement any way and your not out anything

Other 2 questions I didn't feel I was the one to answer nor am I a expert on any of this, just the info I have

Best launcher for the Note? Has a ton of info.. most people will still use a custom launcher after a Rom but it is all personal pref. I like apex (got the paid version) nova isn't bad but not for me... I'm now playing with sslauncher, like this as landscape and portrait can be set 2 different ways and has text icons built in and also NO GRID you have to follow for the icons

Thanks a lot for the link.. I'm going through the thread now..

Go Launcher is alright (for now) because of all the widgets they make.. They turn out pretty crappy when used with other launchers..

Just tried Nova Launcher. Seemed good, but I think I've gotten used to Go Launcher.. But I will definitely make a switch soon..

Also, one of the very first replies to the thread you posted about suggests overclocking. Will I be able to do that when installing custom ROMs?

To turn off all auto syncing, like I do, Just go into accounts and sync under settings and there should be one box or slier to uncheck to turn off all auto syncing. You can also leave it on and configure your individual accounts such as email, twitter, and facebook to sync automatically or not. =]

And yes, you can only truly run one ROM at a time. You could make a nandroid of one ROM, flash another and configure it, then nandroid the second once you have it set up, then keep restoring those two nandroids every time you want to switch. Although that is pretty ineffective if you like to keep switching things up on your homescreens, as the nandroids stay exactly the same.

You also don't need to erase everything per se. All of your pictures and stuff are a good idea to backup, to your computer or an sd card, if you're flashing a rom that requires a full wipe. Your apps and app data will be wiped, so definitely buy titanium backup pro if you haven't already, as that will allow you to restore all of your apps between flashes. Also, there are various sms backup apps, though I've never used one so I can't recommend any. email you can obviously resync quite easily, same with contacts once you have them all synced to your gmail account. Other than that, about the only thing you can't restore afaik is exactly how you have your homscreens/wallpaper setup.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] jimmer411:
There is really only like 3-4 unique roms in there. The majority of them are peoples themed versions one of those.

CM9 is by far the smoothest but I am having problems with GAPPs 7/19 build. Im currently running AOSPxXx until I can sort out the GAPPs issues Im having.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] spade1031:
To be honest I tried overclocking only once am I was on a super light weight Rom, with that I didn't see much improvement but I have noticed the people do see am improvement are also using bigger Rom s. Again I'm sure you will see this many times more you are on here "flash it and find out" the reason is no one has done every combo out there. But over clicking will help at times just keep in mind your not happy with the battery now? And your gonna run your phone harder? Lol

The Amazing Spider-Man

The Dark Knight Rises

Gangstar Rio: City of Saints HD

Modern Combat 3

Grand Theft Auto 3

Shadowgun

These are the most awesome games on Android OS (at least for me) and all of them are optimized for xperia play

there is a bit of lag when playing old games like Modern Combat 3, gangstar and GTA3

there is a huge lag when playing modern games like The Dark Knight Rises and Spiderman

I guess future games will be unplayable on our Xperia

Anyway, I want to know, will these awesome games run smoothly without any smell of lag if I overclock cpu at 1.5 GHz ? :confused:
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
They will run better.

Personally, no games lag for me at all. I use Ram Manager from the market amd select less intense hard gaming option. You should try it
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaun27:
what setup are you using on your play ?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Im on fully stock with root

Just use ram manager when playing the 'big' games like MC3 etc
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TwilightLoz:
or if youve unlocked your bootloader and have a custom kernal, then you should overclock your cpu. I use An-tu-tu cpu manager when playing 3d games (such as gangstar rio, gta3, fifa 12 etc). I put it the min on ~800MHz-~1.4GHz. If i need more, then I just increase the max frequency, It really does help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shaun27:
your on stock firmware and kernel and no games lag at all !!!!!

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordanooo:
Ram manager states that it will not work effectively with another ram script working at the same time

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sangbubu:
same problem

I have the exact same problem. I experience lags when I play games on my Play, especially the ones with great graphic like Gameloft's (Dark Knight Rises, Gangstar Rio, even Asphalt 6). I felt very angry at times my Play lag when I was playing Asphalt 6. I always crashed my car when I took a sharp turn with Adrenaline on, and the game lagggg !!! They said the games will run on 59.4 fps.

Gangstar Rio even worse. At first it lag, and after a minute or two, the game crashed.

I read the post you guys posted earlier, and it seems modification is needed. The things u guys said about rooting, I dont think I dare to try for now. Maybe later, because I dont want to void my warranty.

Is there any connection between micro SD card and the game performance? I use Class 10 32 GB Kingston card. What card is the most suitable for Xperia Play?

What methods do u guys used other than rooting, and how effective it will be on my Play ?

Thanks.in advance. My first post in this forum.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zanakorus33:
Warranty ? Pls. i unlocked my XP first day i bought it.

U can easly get the warranty for screen or tape between screen and game pad.

I think u dont need any warranty for OS. And only thing u can break by urself is the cpu if u OC to much.

Even with unlocked BL and rooted phone u still have limited warranty, i called sony about that.

If my slider broke etc etc i still get warranty because this things are not software related xD

u just have to tell about it when u going to send ur phone on warranty.

If u r looking for stable gaming envoriment i will advice u to use

Lupus Kernel (364-1,4) and bfq sheduler, Dixperia2 Rom.

Other wise just remowe all bloatware from phone (google and facebook aps) and free as much ram as u can :)

Atm im playing GTA 3 at max detail + shadows + 100% resolution + 40% draw distance and im more than happy. It gets 50+ fps sometimes it is slowwering down but only when rain starts or night when lights are turrning on but its only for a sec :) it looks like some new data going to ram.

Thanks

Will try to root and unlock later (although i know nothing about it). First I need to study how to root and unlock. When I have extra money, will change my sd card. There are a lot of people experience lags when changing to class 10. Someone in the forum said, class 10 is not for gaming, because its random access speed is low. Besides silver shadow, a lot of people complaining about lags when changing to class 10.

Its a shame we need to experience all of this, because Xperia Play is a gaming phone, and should be lag free. They should make a phone with double analog stick (not analog touchpad) and 100 percent 60 fps!!! Its a good thing that the android games is very cheap. I pay for 2 gameloft games for just RM 6 (or USD 2 dollars).

Thanks guys for the help.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BundyR25:
Lag free...

Look at PSX spec, or even PS2. And look at new phones hardware. This is not the phone problem, the problem is bad optimisation. If, for exapmple Gameloft (the worst team I ever know) focus on opptimization, you will have good quality games even on low-end phones. But not - buy new phone every six months, then you should'nt problem with lag:)

So this is not problem with our Xplays, we live in an ages, were profit matters, not users experience

All of this talk about class 10 cards having bad random access speeds was valid a year ago, not any more. Times change and with it so does technology. A decent class 10 card nowadays doesn't have these problems. Whoever recommended a class 2 card, lmao.

Help!

Guys, I already root my phone, unlock bootlader, install doomkernel, and install dikej dixperia 2 rom. At first, it was great, no lag in menu and in gaming. But, after I installed fb, youtube, etc, the phone become lag again when playing games. My question:

1) I forgot to wipe cache, valdik (or watever it is) when I done all the steps above. Did it really necessary to wipe all that?

2) The reason to install custom rom is to limited the apps running in our phone? So we cannot really install fb, youtube and all?

3) Do u guys know how to install apps and in the same time having no lag when gaming? I heard of v6 supercharge. Is it compatible with Dikej's Rom, and is it really work?

Right now, when gaming, it become like before, lagging. Gaming should be fun, not tiring.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abstractbeats:
^ (edited post) I found the Facebook app made my phone work a bit slower when I reinstalled it to my rooted Play and caused a lot of launcher redraws, and uninstalled it but actually now I'm wondering if it was something else.

I'm sure YouTube is not a problem and Android will knock it out of memory if it needs to for a game. The SystemPanel app is handy for seeing what goes on with Android memory. My phone is running really well at the moment: have Gin2ICS 1.8.1 (but other roms may be as good), LuPuS GB kernel v2, zRAM, SIO io scheduler. Running the Antutu 3D benchmark on its own at 1.4GHz gives 1104 which is much higher than I'd had before. I might have to reinstall that Gangstar Rio game that lagged to hell when I first had it and see if it's better now.
