You kinda need to have all 3 of your buttons accessible in case of a freeze/hard reset. I plan on putting my buttons inside my center console just in case of a freeze.

Thanks for the heads up on the buttons needing separate grounds though.

At least you don't have to mess with a USB DAC, flash drive, joycon and a backup camera like I plan on doing next week.

Nope just tether to your phone. The secret is get a navigation app that doesn't require data and a good media player to play all your stored music.

Then you just need to use data when u want to stream Pandora or tunein.

That's quite interesting. I'm a bit of an Android noob. Just got my N7, and only had my GS3 a couple months. I'll have to sift through the results to find out how to do this.
[Nexus 7 General] Crazy Goat:
I removed the metal dome on the power button (located on a ribbon cable) and wired leads to the center and outer contacts. (Positive and ground). Complete the circuit and it toggles the power.

NavFree USA is a free offline GPS. Works very well.

I'll wire the leads I ran from the volume buttons to a pair of switches, but I doubt I'll need to do a hard reset any time soon. Definitely a good idea to run leads to these buttons even if you don't plan on using them. :good:

Though there's a chance that running that length of wire won't adequately complete the circuit. You're taking two leads which (by spec) are designed to be a few millimeters apart, and adding 10-12 feet of wiring between them.

I can't wait for the desktop dock to come out. My vision is to be able to insert and remove it very easily, just like in the Ford Edge install, but have the pogo pins to connect power and audio.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] androidizen:
Ye I would echo this, cheap cards either "branded" or no name are usually open to fail after a few weeks / month I use a rule of thumb if the price in a retail shop is for arguments sake £1/$1 per gig and im buying online any thing more than 50% cheaper and its probably a dodgy poor quality card or so old its only class4 but seller isn't being honest.

You have to watch Amazon as well as those virtual warehouse peeps like to send crap cards out in place of quality you expected happened a few times. Now I stick to class 10 Sandisk Extream cards as others have mentioned never had a problem since and I can use them in my DSLR or any other device that needs high speed and stability.

If OP tries a sandisk and it still kills the card then you probably have a faulty card connector in the phone shorting the cards out.

You haven't actually said what was wrong with the card, it could be that a chkdsk could have fixed it. Had this problem myself twice with CM9 and a CM10 ROM as they dont have support of exfat and they corrupted my card. However I fixed the partitions easily in windows using a micro SD converter by simply running chkdsk.

I bought a genuine 32GB class 4 SanDisk MicroSD.

After about 2 months in my S3 it started continuously mounting/dismounting, then becoming write protected, then not being seen by the phone / computer, I ended up sending it back. Don't know if the card was faulty or the phone 'destroyed' it..
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tian105:
I've had a very similar experience with OP.

My S3 already killed 2 cards and I'm on my 3rd.

The cards are all genuine.

1st one was a patriot 16gb class 10.

2nd was 32gb SanDisk class 10/1.

The problem is that after a while the card would constantly mount/dismount.

Now on my 3rd.

I've had a Sandisk 8GB class 4 micro SD card since my Galaxy S days. That means I've been using the card for almost 2 years now. It's been in my S3 for two months. It still works perfectly fine. Maybe you bought a faulty one (or even a fake).

did it just not appear when browser or did you get errors randomly telling you it had dismounted?, were you able to remount and it worked or did it not then mount at all. Did you try to repair by chkdsk /f /r format etc?. I ask this is what mine did after installing a non exfat ROM.

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thekoRngear:
Guys,

mine is a class 4 sandisk 32 GB. Bought almost 6 months ago. I first encountered a problem with it nearly one month ago. I put it in my notebook and ran an app to check its read/write speed. The app was taking too much time to start. So in the middle I took the card off from the notebook. And when I inserted it the notebook just would not detect it. I inserted it in my S3. It said preparing sd card and then blank SD card sign.

I put off the memory card for around two hours. Then I inserted and it ran just fine.

Yesterday I rebooted my phone. Phone booted up. Says prep mmc. And then again that blank message. I put it on in my notebook. Nothing shows. I tried putting it in couple of times on the notebook and the phone. No vail. Then I put it off for 2 hours. Then it started to work again.

Ca anyone tell me for these incidents either or both the s3 and mmc are the reason?
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bafforosso:
I use a 32GB class 4 Sandisk card with Foxhound rom/Siyah kernel. Had multiple issues with the card : file corruption and sudden read-only. I don't know the cause but formatting the card in my computer with external usb micro-SD card reader (I suspect my laptop's internal sd card reader of weird behavior) solved everything, had no problem since then (approx a month ago).

I also updated the ROM at the same period (from 1.6 to 1.7 then to 1.8) so it may be linked too.

So maybe you should try with another card reader (and/or card adapter)

[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlads:
Lol your a funny guy, I also didn't ask any questions.

I'm not being patronising either.

All I know is that all the phones I've had which have had SD cards in them ive have never had one fail, the s3 is by far faultless and I wouldn't ever claim that it was.

So you've also had some phones with SD cards and none of them have broken, so what makes you think that its the phone? Do you not think that people who had the same phones as you have their cards fail on them? Of course they did, was it the phone that did it? Probably not, sometimes cards just fail its as simple as that.

Oh and you have a masters? Good for you.

Believe me you will have another phone after this one and chances are there will be a similar thread just like this one, blaming the phone for breaking the card.

As I've said before, the problem is either corrupt software, a bad install, misuse of the card ( and when I say that I mean a lot of flashing and re writing over the card literally all day every day and or removing the card whilst its being written to or read from and or an error at a critical or non critical time ) or quite simply bad luck, all of these situations occur with any phone with any card to anybody.

I just can't believe that you can all sit there and blame a single phone for murdering your memory cards? Its ridiculous.

But tell you what, I'll leave you to your conspiracies

:)

Good luck, and feel free to flame me, come back when you have some hard evidence and maybe even an admission from Samsung stating that their phone is a killer.

See ya's
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swan14:
If you read the last page that's pretty compelling evidence.

You really think Samsung would come out and admit there potentially is a fault with every single S3?? Yeah Nah.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Valwit:
yes, you have to unscrew the back. i pulled up the connector, took a small needle and gently pushed back the pins so that the would contact stronger/tighter when put back. that's it.

however, if you have a warranty - get it replaced/done by you supplier.
[Galaxy S III Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arghness:
You claimed that everyone here didn't know how to handle electrionic equipment. My point with my qualification and history of devices / cards is that I am well aware how to handle an SD card, and so your claim is negated.

> Believe me you will have another phone after this one and chances are there will be a similar thread just like this one, blaming the phone for breaking the card.

Nowhere near as many people posting "Yes, it happened to me as well" in those though. Even the Sandisk forums have had many comments about the GS3 corrupting cards. I didn't see any about other phones in the first few pages.

> corrupt software, a bad install, misuse of the card ( and when I say that I mean a lot of flashing and re writing over the card literally all day every day and or removing the card whilst its being written to or read from and or an error at a critical or non critical time ) or quite simply bad luck

corrupt software: Only root software / the firmware on the device should be able to corrupt the card. I only had Titanium Backup, which isn't renowned for low level card access and breaking cards. It could be the firmware, but that would be a phone bug... right?

a bad install: No, I know how to install an SD card. It's not rocket science.

misuse of the card: Took a few pictures, and downloaded a few podcasts once a day, all shutdowns were clean, so no.

So, that leaves bad luck. There's a lot of that in this thread, it appears. Perhaps you just have good luck with not having a damaged phone, or getting a card that the phone happens to be 100% compatible with? Perhaps the slight variance in timings in the card means that yours works but many don't?

But hey, you have no problems, so it's just everyone else in this thread that's deluded, not you. You haven't been able to respond to my comments about SDS existing, but many people not having the issue either. I would go so far as to say that the vast majority of owners didn't have SDS, but it was still a real phone issue that some people had the "bad luck" to experience. Samsung didn't admit it until days before they had the fix ready, and that was likely only because it was causing them harm (replacing phones as the phone no longer worked) rather than the consumer (phone still works, card doesn't).

I'm not at all anti-Samsung (otherwise I wouldn't have bought the phone! :) ), but with so many reports of issues, I'm not sure why you appear 100% certain that it can't be the phone, even if it's just an incompatibility with certain cards that have no problems in other devices that causes an issue.

Like I said in a different thread, the number of people complaining about an issue on a forum might seem like a lot but then compared to the number of phones sold it really doesn't.
