[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcelogabriel:
I have the same issue with my I9000.

Any JB with different kernels makes the internal SD eventually be unmounted. When install a JB ROM the phone works very well but suddenly, the internal SD (phone's SD) is unmounted.

In CWM both SD are mounted and read without any problem. With ICS ROMs the phone works flawlessly.

In my case, the external SD is functioning as expected.(I have a 32 GB micro sd)

The installation language is Spahish - Spain.

No matter which method of cleaning and wiping I use, the result is the same.

Also, starting from GB stock firmware (JVU) flashed with Odin, followed by installing the nightly Cianogen CM10.1 and finally flashing the desired JB ROM works.

I tested Helly Bean, Slim Bean, C-ROM Mix and Baked Blacjbean7 obtaining the same behaviour.

Important: I'm restoring around 54 apk using Titanium backup (games, applications and utilities) in every case. I did not tested the ROMs without these restorations.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMask007:
This is the problem I am having. I can see internal sd card on CWM.

But on booting in android, whatever the rom is , does not mount internal sd card on booting android.

Please help to solve this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slipudatung:
Same here

I have been reading/researching about this issue for about a week (on and off) trying various fixes because this is driving me bonkers.

I have tried:

1) Reduced the amount of used space on my SD Card (Samsung 16gb SDHC) to half

2) Moved as many apps as I can to SD (Noticed more frequent unmounts after this)

3) Removed my Nandroid Back-up from my SD

4) Reflashed CM 10.1

The last thing I am going to try is wiping/reformatting my SD card. If that fails then im suspecting something else is happening at OS/kernel level. I have read in other forums where people have tried a full wipe and restore apps slowly but still get the same unmount. One user has tried another SD card (smaller 4GB one) which seemed to solve their issue?? Weird.

Anyway, I will report back if I have any joy.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usedtobeamember:
In your kernel settings you have the option to mount/unmount system and more or you could write/download a script that mounts the sd card automatically.

Maybe this could help: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1971689
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slipudatung:
I give up.

I tried it and no good. It seems as though the Internal SD is mounted, but some error is causing it to operate/display as unmounted via OS.

I completed more testing (extreme):

Wiped Internal SD

Wiped External SD

Try other kernel

Try other CM based ROM

The issue still occurred.

I then reinstalled Stock (XXJVT) via ODIN (Pit 512) and Semaphore kernel to see if its a hardware thing.

Nope.

This combo works amazingly. Infact its faster, smoother and easier to use (along with additional tweaks in Semaphore) than CM10 so I wont be going back to Jelly Bean on this phone. Ever.

Gingerbread for the win!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aymelis:
Hi,

I am using PAC-ROM v22.2 (Jelly Bean) and have the same problem: 80% boot don't mount the

internal

sdcard (I have no problem with the external sdcard). I can't even mount it manually as xalo2k does, cause I have no "Mount SD Card" menu under Settings/storage.

I spent many hours trying to search for a fix on google, xda, and others with no success. I found a lot of "litterature" on how to mount the sdcard on the PC, or how to swap internal and external cards. However, I don't care about mouting my sdcard on the PC, and I don't want to make believe Android that my external sdcard is the internal one, as I would not like to loose the internal 8GB that the phone is supposed to provide.

In Terminal Emulator, I can do:

> su

> mount -r -w -t vfat /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage/sdcard0

> cd /sdcard

> ls -l

There I can see my files. However, if I exit root, the files don't appear anymore. Hence this looks like a permission problem.

Unfortunately ESExplorer still tells me sdcard0 is not mounted, and my apps (i.e. the camera) aren't able to access it. Additionnaly, the apps I had moved to the sdcard are'nt accessible...

So I tried to fix the permissions. Going under /storage as root, I can see:

drwx------ root root 1970-01-01 01:00 sdcard0

d---rwxr-x system sdcard_rw 1970-01-01 01:00 sdcard1

Si I try:

> busybox chown -R system:sdcard_rw sdcard0

But I get "Operation not permitted" for each dir/file in sdcard0

How comes that an operation is not permitted to the root user ???

Did anyone fix this problem ?

Edit

: "You can't chown or chmod a vfat partition let alone a directory within it. You can only change ownership and permissions in fstab and it will apply to all directories and files. So to change ownership of the entire mount point you would change your fstab entry" (see http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646849)

Thanks and regards
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aymelis:
OK guys, I finally found a solution.

Thanks to http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1646849 I mentionned just above, I decided to write an fstab file (the name is important) and placed it under /etc:

/dev/block/mmcblk0p1 /storage/sdcard0 auto rw,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702 0 0

/dev/block/vold/179:1 /storage/sdcard0 vfat rw,dirsync,nosuid,nodev,noexec,relatime,uid=1000,gid=1015,fmask=0702,dmask=0702,allow_utime=0020,codepage=cp437,iocharset=iso8859-1,shortname=mixed,errors=remount-ro 0 0

tmpfs /storage/sdcard0/.android_secure tmpfs ro,relatime,size=0k,mode=000 0 0

Basically, this script is the result of the terminal command (you need to be root):

mount | grep sdcard0 > /etc/fstab

... which I ran after I could get the sdcard mounted (after a mount on PC and eject). But it first failed with errors on options, so I removed a few of them until I kept the lines above.

Then I wrote a little script which I place on my external sdcard which does not have a mount problem at boot:

busybox mount -a

and placed a shortcut to this script on my desktop with SManager.

I just have to click on this shortcut after boot and the internal sdcard gets mounted.

I tried to place this script under /etc/init.d with the hope it would be launched automatically at boot, but this did not mount the sdcard. If anyone knows why ???

Hope this helps !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aymelis:
Well... still having troubles with my sdcard... With the above fstab script I can mount it, access the files, etc...

However, the camera still asks me to insert a sdcard... Is this a permission issue ? Which permissions (owner, group, etc...) does the camera need ? My DCIM dir has the following permissions:

d---rwxr-x system sdcard8RW 2013-06-04 10:36 DCIM

Thanks and regards

Hey Everyone,

I'm starting to get annoyed at this problem that I'm seeing more and more in Developers posts. I'm no expert at writing script or software development but I know enough to get myself out of trouble.

The thing that is starting to annoy me is the forum users posting ridiculous questions and whingeing about stupid, easily fixed problems with their software in the Development area.

Any problems I've come across while modding my phone, flashing roms/kernels etc I've looked through the Q&A section for answers, if wat i was looking for wasn't there then I'd hit up Google and end up finding what I was looking for.

What I'm trying to say is people are looking for the easy way out, being lazy and expecting someone else to fix their problems which 99% of the time is user caused by not following instructions properly.

USE YOUR BRAIN FOR A MINUTE PEOPLE!

If after searching forums and Google and you still can't find an answer THEN ask the Developer for help. These guys are working damn hard to provide the best working, bug free software they can for us WITHOUT BEING PAID AN HOURLY WAGE FOR IT! People asking them silly questions takes them away from development and would be frustrating as hell!

So come on people, give them a break, stop being lazy and have a crack at it yourselves and you might find it's easier. And when you do fix it yourself you can fist pump the air and say "Yeah, I'm good" lol :D

If you want swype then go to settings>keyboard>choose HTC input then check the trace type. Congratulations now you have swype

About 2-3 days ago, i began having issues loading up XDA. This is the only site on the web i have issues loading and it is probably the site i visit most often. Some times it works perfectly fine, other times it won't load at all, and sometimes it will load partially (see screenshot). This happens in all browsers, but chrome is my primary.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bobdude5:
I've seen a couple threads asking for PDF anootation apps and most of the suggestions have been ezpdf reader and I annotate , which don't get me wrong , are great but the are kind of limited in with the whole layers thing.

I don't if this is a known feature but snote allows you to import pdfs and jpgs and write on top of them like you would a normal snote..except now there is full palm rejection, highlighting, etc

All you did is open snote, click menu on the top right, click import, and choose pdf. Ignore me if I'm being Mr obvious but I don't think I've seen this mentioned.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ChocSoldier:
Yeah, you can also export it to PDF again when you're done if people weren't aware.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] HasC:
The only problem that I have found is that the pdf's have to be fairly small in size otherwise s note seems to crash when trying to import them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PenguinMD:
Along HasC's line, S Note is not exactly efficient size-wise. I want to annotate PDFs for class, but importing a 20mb PDF file turns it into an 80mb file :-/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] wakakakaka:
but i have FC with pdf file of size 1.6 Mb, of pages 200+ for S note....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] grimloktt:
What about just annotating in ezPDF. Anyone try that?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hchxoom:
Works great. I've been trying to force myself to use iAnnotate since it seems theyre a Samsung partner so maybe more likely to get multiscreen utility at some point, but keep going back to EZPDF because it just works better and more logically.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Good news/bad news. Polaris handles big PDF files well. We have 4.0, the latest version. Annotation was introduced as a feature but I can't get it to work. I e-mailed them asking what's up.

Here's something cool you can do with text in PDF's in Polaris. You can send text to S-Note (or drag it from one window to another in multi-view) or copy it from a PDF in to a .docx file using the persistant clipboard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] hchxoom:
I didnt have any trouble annotating .ppt files in polaris. It did struggle with very large presentations (was runnimg through an 80 page slide deck and the last 10 had very low resolution when going through in order... resolved by exiting slideshow mode and selecting 70th slide thumbnail and restarting presentation there.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Monterat:

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
I just imported a 178 page PDF. It took about two minutes but there weren't any issues. Are you using "import" from the S-Note home page settings drop down? Do you have 2D h/w acceleration enabled in the developer options? It screwed up the stock e-mail client for people so maybe it's affecting S-Note also.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] sledgie:
I also had some FCs myself after attempting this. My tab in S-Note kept giving me options of what i wanted to open the pdf in - ezPDF, Polaris, Kno and one other which i can't remember - but no option for Snote. I eventually kept trying to load other ones, until it crashed twice and then it took about a minute to load 65 pages. Not sure what was causing the problem
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] seventwozero:
Has anyone else tried to load large pdf's, like a blue print? S note will do the import for me but nothing shows up in the file when I open it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] bobdude5:
Weird.. I just imported a 175mb PDF textbook no problems. Took like less than 5 minutes
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nefariouss:
Just make sure the radio button for the pdf you want to import is checked then click done in the upper right corner. Kinda confusing at first if your not looking for that.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] seventwozero:
I am able to do textbooks and large amounts of pages fine, the blue print is a large format though, 11x17'ish.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Charbucks:
I tried importing a PDF... not super huge (1.5 mb, 7 pages), but it still took a noticeable number of seconds. Then, when it did display, none of the figures showed up and the fonts looked funny (sorta squished).

Not going to work for me, sadly.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
like i stated in the other thread, imported an 80MB or 1200 page pdf to S-note...took about 30 minutes? but no FCs
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] salmonsushi:
My S Note crash every time too regardless of size of the PDF. Reading other xda posts seem that I am not the only one, but yet I cannot find a solution. Does anyone know why? I ensured "Do not keep activities" is unticked, but it doesn't solve the problem. Please help
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Spectral1991:
I can't get S-Note to open up PDF files as well... Everytime I try, it keeps trying to redirect me to an external app (be it Polaris, iAnnotate, etc.)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] denniegst:
is there any way to change the size of the pen Ink in ezpdf?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] donec:
Yes. When you select the brush function you get the pen/brush icon, if you press and hold the brush/pen it will open a small window that one of the functions is to adjust thickness. This does not change the pen thickness but it does change the brush. I am quite sure there is a method to change the pen also but I can't find it right now. Guess I'm getting too old.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] denniegst:
Thanks but with that brvsh there's no back button Like the Pencil, So anything you write is permenate
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] salmonsushi:
Or you can change the "pen" to "eraser" in brush. But seriously it is hell annoying to switch and it is pissing me off. How hard is it to have them separately in the tool bar, as well as a dedicated undo and redo button? I sent an email to the developers about this but they don't give a sh*t
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] 35fan:
Snote should do it. EZ PDF Reader seems to handle large format, landscape documents better. I've opened single sheets with no problem. Also opened 12 page set in one PDF. Worked fine.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nimel:
My main use of the G Note 10.1 is study articles and ebooks in pdf format.

Both Repligo Reader and EZpdfReader handle large pdfs very well and allow me to annotate, draw, highlight etc.

When I talk about large pdfs, I´m talking more than 500 pages and more than 50Mb.

Both Repligo and Ezpdf are wonderful, but Ezpdf opens protected pdfs and save an annotated version. Repligo sometimes does not open some protected pdfs (eg. a thesis or dissertation protected that i would like to read and highlight). I prefer Repligo, but use Ezpdf with the protected pdfs.

Nimel
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] seventwozero:
Thanks for the heads up! I have been using the Adobe reader app to view and note prints but the annotate function leaves so much to be desired. I'll give ezPDF a go and see how it works for me.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] 35fan:
erase in EZ PDF Reader

If you double tap quickly near an annotation, a menu pops up with Delete as one of the options. Works well once you understand it. It deletes the annotation as one object -or instance, an entire curve is deleted in one operation. Does not erase the underlying image.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] ugotproblemz:
is it just me, but when i use the repligoPDF and use my s-pen to annotate it looks very bad...like delays and it felt like writing on my old TF700 (with the crappy digitizer)

this only happens when at 100% zoom....but when i zoom in closer its perfectly fine.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] dtziheucdavis:
Thank you for the reply. I'm in the US and using the 8013 with the exact same version of ezPDF Reader, so maybe the device has something to do with it.

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] Nirvana388:
This may sound surprising but so far I've found the best PDF app to be the adobe reader app. It's great for reading .pdf files and lets you do full annotations like adobe professional would on a pc. And it's free. It doesn't have handwriting conversion like S-Note does but you could use handwriting input for a text box... It also works unlike my S-Note currently for pdfs and no importing involved.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tenderidol:
