I've had mine in my phone for a week now. I really haven't used it for much yet. I synced about 8 gigs of files from drop box and taken pictures and videos.

I formatted to fat32 pretty much right away and have had no problems with it yet. I've personally never had issues with SanDisk cards. Only one I've ever had fail was the 16gb one that came with my droid x. And that one took two years of abuse before failing.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Aquila76:
Oh dear. I'm going to have to tempt fate. Amazon has the 64GB for $50 today only as part of their Gold Box Deal of the Day.

64GB microSDXC

Other SanDisk cards
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] Skubacb:
In this I am not worried about saving $5. So at Amazon I bought SanDisk 64GB Mobile Ultra MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 30MB/s Memory Card with SD Adapter (NEW VERSION) - Retail Packaging with Komputerbay SDXC USB Reader

This came formatted exfat. Exfat is more efficient and is specifically for this use. Note that I got the UHS-1 speed class. You can check the formatting on the memory in your PC. I did note that if I went to the drive manager it did not understand or allow formatting in exFat. My file browser did. But, I also went to Microsoft and downloaded the exfat package with all the latest drivers.

After running the original. I pulled it and formatted in my file browser. In all cases I am having zero problems and zero loses.

I did note at Amazon that a couple of MicroSDXC seemed to be the same but were NOT. There was an updated version of the memory card from Sandisk. It cost about $14 more for the newer memory card.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ctbaker:
Got an email from Sandisk today and was hoping it was my shipping notice on the replacement 64gb Class 10 card but no dice...

By the time all is said and done, the whole RMA process will have taken me close to 8 weeks! I think I had the card in the phone for less than 2 weeks.

Hi, when my nexus gets to a low battery, it doesnt show the android system 'powering off' message.

It just goes black. Sudden shut down

Does anybody elses do this?
[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NeoMagus:
My C6 did this it would just die at 20% no shutting down just turned off, and gave "low low battery logo" in small white text in upper left corner. Tried several cycles, calibrating deleting batterystats.bin nothing helped always just turned off around there. Exchanged it out for a C7

Arc s LT18i

ICS 4.04 - 4.1.B.0.431

Rooted

ArcKnight Kernel

Hey guys, I'm on 2Degrees(which goes through Vodafone i think) in New Zealand, and I'm not on a data plan, just prepay.

I can't seem to send pxt's unless I enable 'data roaming' and 'mobile networks', which if I'm correct uses data and eats my prepay time.

I just get a 'Could not send. Message will be sent when service becomes available' error

My mate has the exact same setup with his sensation, and can send/receive pxt's without enabling any mobile networks or data roaming, when he sends or receive a pxt, his '3g' symbol pops up and the pxt sends.

So my question is, is there something I need to do to be able to send and receive pxt's without having to use mobile data and eating into my prepay money, because I know this is possible, just not sure why it's not working on this phone.

I've attached some pics of my apn settings, from what I can tell they are all correct...

Thanks for your help!
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
Did some research on Google...

PXT requires MMS to be used, MMS requires 3G internet in order to send the stuff. All the photos/audio files and stuff can only be sent over Internet. There is no other way.

You need to have MMS settings in your phone. Data roaming is not required at all. MMS downloading will not eat your money for data, as MMS settings are used for it. MMS settings don't allow you to surf on the internet, these settings are only for sending and receiving MMS.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahsauce:
That makes sense to a degree,

So i need internet access to be able to send MMS?, which means I need to enable mobile networks and data roaming(since I'm not on a data plan I have to enable these or I can't get internet access, therefore no MMS).

But what your saying is even though I enable internet access, the MMS side of it doesn't actually eat into the data, since it's sent a different way, visa vie, it doesn't eat my pre paid moneys...

I just wonder if there is a way to only get data turned on when it's needed for MMS, other wise all my apps are constantly updating and eating my credit...
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Someguyfromhell:
MMS will use the data itself when it is needed. Mobile networks doesn't have to be turned on, it is only needed if you want to surf on the internet.. Data Roaming is only used if you want to use your phone's internet in another country(which is f**king expensive).

I received an MMS on my Arc S once, I didn't have internet settings on my phone, just MMS settings(APN stuff). I got an SMS, then used the download option. Data was turned on automatically, MMS was downloaded and data was turned off again. No charges for me.
[Xperia Arc Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wahsauce:
Thanks

That all makes total sense, my only problem is, I can't send or receive pxts unless i enable both mobile networks and data roaming, I've literally tested it in all ways i can, and it wont work unless they are both enabled.
[Captivate General] HeathicusF:
I've softbricked my phone a few times, but always been able to recover using Heimdall. Now, my luck seems to have run out. Heimdall says:

"Uploading KERNEL

KERNEL UPLOAD FAILED

Ending session..."

Uhm.... Uh-oh??

This is what got me here. I was running SlimICS and tried to flash SlimJB. I didn't follow instructions and that resulted in a softbrick. Used Heimdall to get back to stock. Flashed CM9, tried SlimJB again and softbricked again. Heimdall'd back to stock, flashed CM9, re-downloaded SlimJB thinking I had a bad download, and tried it again. Softbrick again. Heimdall'd back to stock and decided to just go back to SlimICS. The SlimICS instructions said if coming from Froyo or GB to install any ICS kernel with either Odin or CWM. I used CWM to flash the Devil ICS Kernel. That softbricked. Tried Heimdall again and that's where I'm at.

I hadn't been nervous through all of this, but I am now. Did I permanently brick the phone? What can I do at this point???
[Captivate General] HeathicusF:
Ok, I'm breathing a sigh of relief now. I pulled the battery for a few minutes while I rebooted the computer. I gave it another go, and it was successful. *whew*

Sorry for the spazzing out there.
[Captivate General] RootTheMachine:
Just letting you know that all that flashing to stock is totally unnecessary. You can simply grab a Devil or Semaphore kernel .tar and flash the zImage with Heimdall instead of going all the way back to stock.

I rooted my Verizon Samsung S3 successfully and I am trying to create a Clockwork MOD backup. I am booting into ClockworkMod Recovery v5.8.4.8. I cannot successfully backup. It starts the backup but just gets stuck at backing up boot image. Any suggestions?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] cgulliver:
Install ez-recovery from play and load 6.0.1.0.

Question... if I rooted my S3 with this method... Section 1...

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=28530394&postcount=1

and I DL ez-recovery... won't this cause my phone to get stuck in a boot loop? I thought we had to use the specific CWM recovery in this root method?

EDIT: sorry I figured this one out on my own... this is actually pretty badass... this will allow me to boot into *any* recovery instead of having to 'dd' the recovery I used to get CM10 on the phone. Ok... :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] trafalger888:
Just glancing through each of these steps it sites using ez recovery to install recoveries in each one. I have used it to install TWRP as well as clockwork 6 so I am not sure where yore seeing that...hope that helps

[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NickFu400:
Hello all...Since I can't post in the dev section I hope to obtain some help here...

I'm already rooted on stock rom. I'm trying to go back to stock with a newer RUU (from 3.26.502.54 to 3.26.502.56 ) and re-root. I'm doing this because of an issue with Skype (green video). I've read that going to a newer software version could fix my hulk problem.

So, following this thread, I have two problems.

First, when re-locking the bootloader, I get this:

I don't know if this is bad or not....After doing this the bootloader does show that it has been relocked. So I continued on.

Next problem, when running the RUU exe, I come to an error "155" (screenshot).

I read somewhere that the error 155 could be due to HTC Sync, so I uninstalled it and retried, no success. Not sure where to go from here...:confused:
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] Bigtjmc:
Witch ruu file you using ?
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NickFu400:
I got it from HTC's website (htc.com/us/support/htc-vivid-att/software-updates#). Did the manual download.

I was going to try the RUU linked on the other thread from filefactory, but I couldn't bear the stupidly slow download speed.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
I thought that the gpu driver update fixed the issue with the green video. Take a look in the dev section and see if that helps
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] NickFu400:
Thanks! That worked. Went from 39.8fps to 44.7fps, and no more green man video.
[HTC Vivid, Raider, Velocity] rquiett:
Glad that worked for you and probably a whole lot easier than running the ruu and having to set your phone up the way you wanted again
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 General] djmatt604:
Hi all:

So I've been really into messing around with custom stuff for about 3 weeks now - and I LOVE the possibilities Android provides. I've been looking for an excuse to put my programmer hat back on and start messing with something new. ROM development and messing with stock stuff really looks like a fun hobby and I'm interested in having a look around.

I'm going to pull the Android SDK and go through all of that, plus I've pecked around in the AOSP web space, etc. etc. However, I'm also wanting to reach out to the dev community here to see what the preferred tools of the trade are. :) Would anyone be so kind as to provide me with some good starting points in the way of tools? Mods, please move my question to the appropriate place if this isn't the right spot for the thread....

Thanks in advance to anyone out there that can help!
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
Deal with it, then cm10.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Not really a solution, if you mean "get rid of all the bloatware", as I would like to use some of ASUS apps like "MyNet" or Splashtop that come with the Infinity. And I do mean to deal with it - but practically, not psychologically, hence the question about the process which checks for it.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Keion:
I mean deal with it as in .

cm10 will be ready soon, just wait a little bit. Other than that, get rid of all the system APKs that look strange to you. If you don't want to mess anything up, comparing the installed apks with a stock rom with gapps (for a phone or whatever) is also a good idea.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I know what you meant ;) I'd just prefer to deal with it like on the old western movies.

I'll have a look at the apps, but I suspect it might be bundled with one of the services or apps that I'm using.
[Asus Transformer TF700] watwat1234:
wow I didn't know that. I logged into the device tracker site and watched the log as I started a remote ring. looks like it's a function of CMClient. I froze CMClient and I couldn't remotely ring the tablet anymore. It also looks like the site caches the location as well, though I haven't had a chance to move around to see if that's the case.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
Thanks for this! Interesting solution. If I get it right, no CMClient (which cannot be completely turned off through Apps management, btw) means no OTA updates, basically?

Edit: OK, I went throught logcat too, it seems CMClient can even turn GPS on when it's off and do pretty much any nasty stuff to your device, as it communicates with ASUS servers via https and has all permissions it needs. Interesting. Android devices are as far from open (or free, from that matter) source, as they can be, if we end up with things like this. Freezing CMClient only worked initially, as another process woke it up after another call.

Edit: I've just removed CMClient.apk and CMClient.odex from /system/app/ and it won't lock the device remotely anymore, but it still receives the requests to do so through other processes.

It seems the device is still able to look for the OTA updates, DMCommunicator reports sending IMEI number (so this is how the batches are handled?) to https://mdm.asus.com/DMServer/AsusDMServlet and it reports back no new updates.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Man, you guys sure are paranoid around here! Don't use this browser or that browser, disable this or that so no one can "spy" on you, etc...

Do you guys *really* think that Asus is spying on you (or anyone else for that matter)?

The only reason that Asus does this is to provide a service (and a very nice service, in my opinion) - not so that they can "spy" on anyone!

To each their own, but c'mon... Relax and enjoy your tablet...
[Asus Transformer TF700] Ralganaziel:
The issue is not really "is Asus spying on us" but actually "can we accept that such a dangerous software is in our tablet without even knowing it".

I have never accepted such an app and, afaik, my worst concern is security : what proves us that this system is well-built and would resist an attack ? "track it via GPS, read your data, take a picture, make a loud sound, wipe it or block it" would you really want to have a hacker reach these kind of informations ?

As for me, I'd prefer not to have this safety (loosing a tablet is not as easy loosing a phone) since it naturally contains flaws.

And btw, I don't know where you have been in the last five years but there has been a lot of cases of companies spying on clients through various backdoor systems. No, they will not spend their day watching you through the camera but could collect a whole pack of data to sell those informations. Accepting this is a serious threat to individual rights, whether you want it or not.

"Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to be wise."

To the OP : thanks for the heads up, I must say I am really waiting for CM10 as well, and really hope to get rid of closed software as far as I am able to.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
I kind of agree there. I'm still loving my Boat Browser!

On another note, I think it takes away from appreciation of a product when everyone recommends a rom as a solution. Not everyone wants to get CM10. I'm not including myself in that, but I really feel for people who genuinely have an issue with their tablet and aren't even rooted and people say "Oh well CM10 is coming." :(

I agree with the OP, I'd want to know what can be done as is.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jtrosky:
Fully agree about the "wait for CM10" line - that is *not* a solution! Personally, any time I load a third-party ROM that isn't based of Asus' ROM, there always seems to be things that don't work or don't work properly (cameras, bluetooth, keyboard dock keys, etc).

What we *really* want is for Asus to fix it! By simply switching to a custom ROM, we're letting Asus off the hook way too easy, which is part of the reason why these issues don't get fixed (instead of everyone telling Asus about the issue, they just use a different ROM - so Asus doesn't fully understand how widespread the issue is).

Regarding the privacy/security stuff - sure, I realize the threat is out there - but I've never personally had any issues with my "privacy". As long as you use common sense about what you do and how you do those things, you'll be fine, without worrying about everyone "spying" on you.

But alas, to each their own.... Personally, I'll continue to use the awesome Boat Browser and not worry about it!
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
I believe Ralganaziel covered what it's really about well.

jtrosky, I'm not saying ASUS is spying, I'm saying there is a possibility to do so - are you going to check the logs to be sure or trust nobody will ever gain access to it? I'd rather disable it. The question is: would you accept such a backdoor on your newly bought PC running Windows or Linux?

Anyway, I meant to inform, not convert people with this thread.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
Asus gets first price for functional bloatware. I appreciate the notice on this, but i am far more concerned with apps tracking my use such as browsers and such like that. Your devices are your biggest security vulnerability which is why whole device encryption is important. The amount of danger I could suffer if my phone were to be compromised is staggering. My schedule, contacts, finances, email, stored credit cards, so on and so forth. So this tool that allows me to remote wipe is actually a huge plus to me as I see it as a winner in the risk/reward comparison. Plus apparently it will let me see notifications on my tablet from my work PC. Need to play with it more. I have my phone set up on my companies OWA so that I can wipe it. I just had to scramble to stop it from getting my text messages, which would be BAAAD to have sitting on the company server.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jjdevega:
I love this tracker option! I tend to forget where I put my tablet at times so whenever that happens I just use this! It works like a charm. On serious note....

I was abducted recently while I was in India for a summit meeting. Fortunately I had my Asus tablet. They sent in a Socom team to infiltrate this compound were I was being held hostage. In short, If it weren't for Asus's device tracker I would be dead right now!!!

Edit: I guess for me and a lot of others I assume... "Out of sight out of mind" mentality.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Chief Geek:
They need to make an app for your phone that triggers the alarm/wipe/and other features. That would be handy.
[Asus Transformer TF700] hillbicks:
I realized this with the absolute must have app Tasker.
[Asus Transformer TF700] jordanmw:
I totally agree with your view on the ROMs, it is great to be able to replace their firmware with custom ones but they are usually missing something or don't have support for "X" feature or application. We can't let them off the hook- they need to provide official firmware that just works and has the spit and polish that we expect from the maker of the device. Don't let this one turn into a TF201!! Pressure them until they make things right!! I have had multiple 700s and can still say that I am seeing stuttering and hangs with every one I have seen.

Your question should include Apple computers also... they allow you to do virtually the same exact thing that Asus is letting you do. Matter of fact, you made a statement about what could happen if a hacker compromised the system-- This is what can and does happen when hackers get into your account that can wipe devices and view data: http://www.emptyage.com/post/28679875595/yes-i-was-hacked-hard

As important as your privacy is, this is a service that is useful. I personally used it when the wife had misplaced the tablet and called to ask me where it was- imagine how nice it was to login and send a notification to it that she could hear and locate the tab.

That being said, disclosure is VERY IMPORTANT and I believe that they could have mitigated everyone's concern over this by providing a disclaimer and notification as well as allowing it to be disabled easily. It is not like this is new though... been around since the OG transformer.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
^ Good point, jordanmw. I just want some clear rules here. I would even consider using this, if it wasn't smuggled like some hidden agenda beneath the cloak of updating services et al.

And I didn't include Apple just because there were many reports of Apple locking stolen devices per request OTA through some backdoor popping up out of nowhere, so I don't trust them at all and wouldn't like Android devices to follow such standards.

Edit: I've read the story from the link you posted, a very informative piece, especially Update Three, which shows how weak most of our security methods are because of the human factor. It shows that the only secure way is to make things harder sometimes, as just because we want easy solutions we can get into much trouble. The passwords stored locally and not transmitted anywhere are still the way to go. As is PGP better than trusting somebody will do the same for you.
[Asus Transformer TF700] MartyHulskemper:
Oh, man, I would totally moon them, cheeks pulled wide. And I'd refrain from shaving all hair on my ass for at leats two months prior. LOL! ;)

Hey, jdeoxys, come in here and make a butt joke! :cool::D:cool:
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
He's Keion now, new personality means missed opportunities ;)

I remember a story about a guy who was doing "tech support" on-line, telling thousands of women to install a certain program and then bring their laptops to the bathroom, so the device could regenerate / make the dust disappear or something and he was collecting countless pictures of them having a bath, lol ;) It's after he was arrested the story got to the news, of course, after some months of nice work.
[Asus Transformer TF700] unknown_owner:
I found this thread after searching for more info on the Device Tracker. To make a long story short, Asus has voided my Prime warranty saying my tablet has been rooted. After digging into them about how they got that information knowing I never sent my tablet to them, they said that they were able to get that from the devicetracker.asus.com website. Not only is it used to used to track the GPS of your tablet, but apparently they are able to get system information as well and something in there told them that my tablet was rooted. My tablet is not unlocked though. So be careful what you do.
[Asus Transformer TF700] Alitheia:
Now that slightly boils my blood..

Had you registered with the tracker website before they told you that? There is a terms of service there that says that by registering, they will combine the tracking account with your serial number. Also, "ASUS will collect your personal information only after you sign in this Website" That turned me away instantly.
[Asus Transformer TF700] d14b0ll0s:
...which proves my point in a way I wouldn't have imagined. Thank you for sharing this story. It's certainly a violation of user agreement, I believe you can go with this to court.
