A long and sad story

OK so I've got a long and sad story to tell about my sd card and stupid life decisions. So I decided to try to set up my sd card with my tablet to export data etc. and I had to partition my sd card. Here is exactly what happened:

1. I discovered link2sd was not supported by my tablet.

2. I decided to clear the sd card of all existing partitions.

3. I created one gigantic ext4 partition using the mini partition tool (now I know what not to do in the future)

What happened was I cleared the existing partitions, and was left with a completely blank sd card, right? Then because I knew the sd card would not be mounted in any device decided to do the stupid thing of creating one ext4 partition instead of FAT32.

SO. MORAL OF THE STORY: I now have an sd card which, when I plug into the computer, is

a) not even recognized

b) does not even appear in device/disk manager in Windows Computer management

c) refuses to mount on my device (even in CWM)

help?

happy new year

love,

josh

please help!

I have contacted SanDisk and have an RMA # to send my defective card back to them. Unfortunately I have hundreds of files (pictures/videos/others) that I want to remove prior to sending back to them. I am unable to format my card.

I'm using an unrooted Samsung Galaxy S4, I have a 64 GB SanDisk card.

I noticed the other day when I moved files from my phones memory to the SD card that the files became corrupt and I lost the last 2 months worth of photos and videos that i've created or downloaded. I contact SanDisk and they told me to format.

I followed their instructions and using Windows quick format (right clicking on the drive) it error'd out. I tried using several other ways including Glary Utilities and Command Prompt. I also tried booting up in recovery in my old HTC Thunderbolt and format the SD card that way with no luck.

I was able to delete files by using my phone but as soon as it remounts all of the files reappear.

I tried to hide files thru some command line prompt that I had found and it didn't do it. I have no option to "cut/delete" any files by right clicking on them.

Has anyone had any issues sending cards back to SanDisk with files on them? How can I go about corrupting the rest of the files on my card? Any suggestions? Please help!
[General Accessories] hmaxos:
It's obviously a helpful guide. I wished you guys added a smaller guide for the advantages and disadvantages of each format be it fat 32 or ext2 or else since most of us end up formatting SD. I should be a compatibility issue, right? My own SD card problem was partially fixed with checkdisk and fix errors in windows, but only 4 GB was recovered from 8 GB?
[General Accessories] swing4thefence:
Good guide but doens't fit my issue.

I have 2 Acer Iconia A1-810 tablets

Samsung Galaxy S2

HTC Rezound

HTC Thunderbolt

Droid Charge

Coby Mid-8024

I have a 32gb MicroSd card that works in ALL of these devices except my A1-810.

I have another 32gb MicroSd card that DOES work in my tablet. So why does the one I want to use not work?

Dirty contacts on the card would mean it wouldn't work on the other devices.

Dirty contacts in the reader would mean that other cards woudln't work either. Corrupted SD card or Data would preclude it from working in the other devices as well.
[General Accessories] swing4thefence:
Update:

I took the card out and re-formatted in my PC and it still doesn't work. So I took it out and put it in my phone and re-formatted it with TWRP and still no luck.

Problem accessing SdCard on Samsung S4

Today I got a message on my phone that my 'Sd card was not inserted correctly and check if it is inserted correctly etc etc.'

Checked it but it was all good.

>Then I checked if everything was good with the NextApp SDFix app and no problems there.

>Then I tried to approach the sd card via the CM file manager and I got the message that I had to switch roots access mode on.

>So I switched over to Towelroot and check if everything was ok but I got the message that my phone is currently not supported.

>When I access the Storage setting on my phone my SD card is not displayed.

Until today everything worked well. What should I do because I'm outta options.

Thanks in advance

hello

after trying to use"folder mount" app, and rebooting my phone, the phone started to reboot over and over again!:eek:

once i removed the sd card, this problem solved...

then i formatted my sd card (inserted it into a ram reader and formatted it)

and now, i cannot use my sd card anymore ! :rolleyes:

with a ram reader it does work, but when i insert it into my phone i cannot use it (neither in phone's file manager nor with usb cable on laptop)

i cannot paste copied files on my sd card while its inserted in my phone!

and if i paste them using a ram read, after inserting it into my phone, i cannot see those files !

my sd card damaged

This is a bad incident, as my phone dropped from my hand onto the ground suddenly my phone's display got cracked and the micro sd card of 8gb came out of its own from my phone. Due to sudden dropping of my phone data on the memory is lost.

Whenever I insert this sd card using card reader into computer it always asks to format, as a new sd card does.

Please help me to recover my data.

Maybe I'm lucky but I've never had any problem with sd card even many years old.

Anyway I'm sure it's not a durable way to store data.
[General Accessories] AAnderson298:
Besides all these problems, you should be really careful about fake sdcards. There are just too many of them. And it's really hard to tell if a sdcard is fake. I wouldn't want to save my picture or data on a knock-off product.
[General Accessories] hgrunwell:
I've had a run of bad luck lately with sd cards, even name brands. Over the last two years I've burnt through 5-6 of them. Various different failures and lost data. I wonder if I'm primarily getting the fake ones this thread mentions.

Is there any way to verify the authenticity of a card?
[General Accessories] MrCommunistGen:
I try to make sure to buy from a reputable retailer and not from smaller sellers. Nothing against most small sellers, but enough of the time, even when I'm buying an item listed as "Genuine" I have gotten fakes. This goes for things like camera accessories, batteries, etc.

For example, I would buy a card "Sold and shipped by Amazon" but not one sold by a no-name seller on the Amazon marketplace.

In addition, I try to cross shop several retailers to see what a "reasonable" price should be. If most sellers have the item listed at ~$60 and I find it for $23.99 online... I feel that in most cases is probably too good to be true.

Saving a little bit of money isn't worth the risk of potentially losing ALL of my data.

I try to do backups regularly, but sometimes it isn't always possible or I forget.

Has anybody managed to get Flash working yet? I have downloaded the APK and installed it but to no avail. It's the only feature I am really missing right now. There must be a way. I've worked with many Android/Samsung devices and this is the first I haven't been able to get flash working.

I think you're missing a setting. That's all. Try Boat, and try uninstalling Dolphin and reinstalling it before you do a factory reset.
[Samsung Galaxy Mini] RoSinner:
Hello,

I have a Samsung Mini 2 s6500D on vodafone carrier. It's not rooted and has the stock android version , gingerbread 2.3.6 ! PC has win 7 x64 runnning on it.

I have been searching for answers all over the net but I've yet to find one for my phone specifically. However I did find loads of workarounds for other android phones but none have worked so far.

Basically when I plug the phone in, Kies says connecting and eventually gives the error : "Unable to connect to GT-6500D. Failed to retrieve device information" . Also, I get

no

message on my phone when I plug it in. The pc sees the phone and i can browse the sdcard.

Methods tested so far:

USB debugging (on or off)

USB settings (ask on connect) - no such option

wireless and network (kies instead of mass storage) - no such option

*#7284# (phoneutil) - it doesn't open that app

msxml3/6.dll method - after this one the phone version showed up instead of connecting... but I still got the error eventually

Tried both frontal and back USB drives

Lots of pc restarts, Kies reinstallations during the proccess and phone restarts as well.

Used TWLauncher and ran kies as admin.

Hope I provided enough information.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Hi there,

I had exact same error. In my case, it was able to connect my phone via Kies / USB only after I inserted a SD memory card into slot.

In my opinion download the latest version of KIES from samsung website. I tested it and it worked on even custom roms like STABLE CM 7.

I am an atrix user and i looked at all the atrix,photon and electr. forums and i suggezt we should create a topic to fight togeather against the Motofail. Also everibody should chech the other forums on the moto page to let em know they are suck!

Edit 1: somebody has been put up a moto conversation on the forum, and they said they won't update becouse of the hardware..thats ridiculous!

But on the other hand some of us thinks that the google cancelled the update thanks to debian linux.. (aka webtop)

Edit 2: you should check out the general atrix forums for ideas and support. We could win togeather!

Thank you!

Google and Motorola Mobility and the Dialer security vulnerability.

Reading other threads about the dialer vulnerability, I think Google and Motorola Mobility are now obligated to patch the Dialer + Browser security vulnerability. There are thousands if not millions of users vulnerable and if not upgrading us allows this to exist, then they have a class action lawsuit brewing. I honestly think Google should seriously consider their subsidiarys actions before this starts screwing the people with more money and legal advantages.

Motorola Mobility is evil and therefore Google is evil. ****ing crooks.

[Motorola Photon 4G] dragontology:
Is harassing the new guy at MMI really going to help us? That's pathetic. Sure, I believe everyone at Motorola and Google need to understand that they let us all down, but I personally draw the line at flooding their social media accounts. Just wanted to put that out there. No need to debate it, that's just what I think. While I'm at it, posting false reviews for any phone is also a low blow. Now if you want to post a review that says that Motorola doesn't support their phones and that the phone will never see an upgrade... be my guest. Because that's honest.

I actually blame the Android community for stuff like this. The Sunfire is a great phone, and we all know it can run JB, at least AOSP JB. Maybe not JellyBlur, whenever that comes out, but AOSP JB, not a problem. We know because we've done it, and if Motorola released the source or whatever it is the devs need, and the transition/scrolling stuttering was wiped out, and the camera and camcorder worked... well, it would be awesome. But look, you can run Holo Launcher and Notification Toggle on the stock ROM (or CM7) and it will run fine. I don't think this gets you the best battery life, but it's acceptable. Now compare a Sunfire (either Photon or Electrify, it doesn't matter once you unlock) with the best phone on the market. I guess GS3 or Note 2. Is One X still a contender? What's the difference? Does Angry Birds: Space load a few seconds faster? They both run great and do pretty much whatever you need. But yet we tend to push for the next big thing while disrespecting those who are fine with last year's big thing. So is it really any surprise when Motorola abandons last year's big thing to focus on the next big thing? Not to me it isn't. But we don't want to slow down too much and retard the development like Apple has. We don't want to be 2-3 years behind. What we want, I feel safe saying, is a smartphone ecosystem where competent phones from the last few years can still get updates, as long as they can legitimately handle them.

Personally, I'd be willing to pay for these updates. Why should Motorola bring us ICS, when they could just have us buy their next phone? What if enough of us agreed to split the difference, and pay for the upgrade? Considering people are paying $15-20 for that one launcher, don't you think people would pay $35-40 for a software update? Granted, it would have to be prompt. I wouldn't pay $40 for ICS. Make it JB and I'll buy two (one for me, one for my wife). I'm perfectly willing to pay for software. I'm not asking for something for nothing.

But hey, at least we can get $100 towards a new Motorola phone that will never be upgraded to KLP if we turn in our phone and switch to Big Red, eh?
[Motorola Photon 4G] kkruglov:

[Motorola Photon 4G] hirent:
While I agree to some of your points, I have to disagree largely with most.

Why should I have to pay for an update that should be part of the phone?

Its ridiculous.

I don't need gaming or a few extra benchmark points.

But I do want to enjoy the new features of the software. And in this case, the Atrix and Photon are both capable of running ICS and JB effectively.

ICS code was released last November; 11 months ago!!!!

An ICS upgrade should have been released in April; or by June at the very latest.

It was not considered last year's big thing until Moto let so much time pass by.

Delaying it for so long and then saying that the phones are old and EOL, simply breaks customer confidence in the company.

There is just no excuse for doing that.
[Motorola Photon 4G] jorjitoc:
Here's what disgusts me:

1. What is the deal with the locked bootloaders? Why can HTC and Samsung sell phones that are so easily unlocked but Motorola not only has to lock theirs down tight, but when someone figures out how to get around it they go out of their way to release a minor update that patches the bootloader hole.

2. And then to top it off, they then cut off access to ICS or JB. WTF? If you don't want to provide us with an OEM ICS update, did you also have to lock the f'ing bootloaders down so tight that we can't either? This is what I really struggle to understand - whose phone is it? Is it not mine? I paid for it (and don't feed me the crap about the carrier "subsidizing it", that is a lie they push to force people into two year contracts) so why can't I load whatever software I want on it? Can you imagine buying a Dell or an HP laptop or computer and not having administrator access to your own computer? Or being told by Dell I can't load Windows 8 or Ubuntu Linux, that I have to stay on Vista or some crap? Hell, on my Xoom tablet I have to go through some BS process to get root access and it's a Wifi-only Xoom (so no lies about carrier subsidy - I paid full freight for the tablet). Why would it be locked down?

3. If they want to stick with the two-year contract deal, then they need to support the phone for two years. If a group of people who have jobs and school to attend can come up with custom roms with no access to source code, etc. then paid engineers with access to nVidia, Google, etc. resources can make an update and it doesn't take 9 months to do so. My Xoom had JB like two weeks after Google announced it.

I don't care how anyone wants to spin it, Motorola and Sprint absolutely fu'ed everyone who bought that phone. Mine did not function normally. I would have days where I would suddenly stop getting texts and had to do a battery pull and restart the phone and then would suddenly start getting them. I have no SBF available to me if I want to wipe the device and start fresh. I am running bone stock (I have 2.3.5 so I have no choice)

In Indianapolis, Sprint users have been paying that ripoff "Premium Data" fee for absolutely lousy 3G speeds and three Clearwire towers that I have connected to for a total of ten minutes in two years. I can't stream Pandora or Google Music at the gym or in my car. Unlimited data means nothing to me when I have to sip it through a 120 kbps straw. So Motorola, Sprint, Google and any other users can spin this any way they want but it is a giant, steaming pile of $hit that they just handed us.
