HELP :(

Can anyone please help? I'm unable to download or copy huge files like movies to my SD card anymore. File gets corrupted. I'm using a sandisk class 10 64GB micro SD. :(
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
If it is fat partition then it can possible

Format with exfat
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Could you please elaborate on this exfat format? How do i do it?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
get card adaptor and attach to PC, you can see card as new drive letter

from PC right click on drive letter and select Format with file system 'eXfat'

you need win7 to have this option

If you have machine with XP then read 'toolbox'on my signature and download tool no 22 'eXfat support for XP'

after installing it, you will have this option on Xp machine too.

3G doesn't work

I am facing a very strange issue lately that my 3G doesn't work properly at my workplace. The signal bar appears full and 3G icon is also there for all the time but there is no internet access.

The internet works on its own at some random intervals i.e. I'll suddenly get the mails,whatsapp etc. I tried calling the customer care but CC in India is like banging your head against the wall. I have not touched the APN settings ever and have been using the same settings since past 3 years for using internet on my mobile.

I am on stock rooted ROM so that's not an issue too. 3G works perfectly fine at my home (I suppose :p coz m on wifi for most of the time). It's quite frustrating for me when I try to access the net on mobile as it doesn't work.

Please give some advice as what shall I do coz m not able to find any solution for this problem since 2 months :(

I live in Delhi and use IDEA cellular. (they borrow 3G services from Vodafone in Delhi) and my office is in Gurgaon.

Please suggest something (and sorry for such a long post but my problem is quite frustrating)

I'm not able to format the memory card :( Tried both from my computer and the phone. Tried everything, nothing helped. I'm able to read all the files that already were written in it. Not able to write anything new :( Does this mean my card has gotten corrupted?
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
what exact error occurs when you try fomatting on PC?

some card adopter having small pin (lock) to write protect check it, but this won't in case of mobile and you should able to format on Mobile device.

Buddy even I am facing the same issue with idea in delhi..

Was in gujarat last week..even have idea guj sim there no probs there

It seems there's prob with idea delhi lately..
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
if this happens to particularly single place then chances are there issue is from server side (particular cell tower)

thogh do this

setting - wireless - mobile network - access point name - open APN you are seeing under this menu and delete

then press menu key and select reset to default
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
No I've had that sliding switch unlocked and still this was the error that I got, that Windows was unable to complete the format. Tried both quick and normal format. Later reinserted the card to my phone, tried again and it gave the format complete dialog but it would continue to show only 1.6 GB of free space. The remaining space is populated with other files that I've been using and they are still working well.
[Galaxy Note II General] dr.ketan:
it seems corrupted.
[Galaxy Note II General] kuberchib:

I've been using a Sandisk 64gb class 10 microSD with my Note2 for 2 months now, and i have no such issues. Card is blazing fast whether reading or writing. I only formatted it once (via phone) before using it. I also have a 32 gb sandisk class10 and that too with zero issues. I bought both cards from a reliable shop with bill & warranty. However, I haven't tested large file (>4gb) transfers on it yet (coz i don't really have any).

I've also read that some members have faced similar issues like yours. It seems the only permanent solution for it is to get your SD card replaced with a new one under warranty (i'm guessing u do have one, right?). Might as well wanna look into this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2060405

Hope it helps.

SD card problem is not due to Note II. I am facing it even on my Ace. Its basically a problem with sandisk's ultra cards. There's a thread on xda with a solution to the problem. Please search, I cant find it as of now.

---------- Post added at 09:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:14 PM ----------

My card was in warranty and I got a replacement. The sad thing is that the new card died too. Within days. Sandisk isnt even taking this seriously. I dont know why? This attitude of sandisk is causing problems. I purchased two cards and they cost a lot here in India. I cant even sell them to anyone because almost everyone knows about this issue now.

I ordered 6400mAh Mugen Power battery for nearly 6500 rupees. By looking, I think it looks ugly too. I'm yet to get from HK. Placed order today.

Later realized for 1500 rupees we can buy original battery and a charger case.

Any thoughts?
[Galaxy Note II General] codeknight11:
I think you shouldnt go for it. It will make your note thicker (it comes with a case as our note's original case cant keep that battery in). Plus 6500 is way too much. You can purchase so many original batteries for 6500.

Also if your battery dies out after warranty, you'll lose 6500 bucks at one go.. Whoshhh :P

Btw, charger case? Havent seen one in my city. I might sound nOOby but if I am guessing it right, a charger case allows you to carge battery without the need to insert the battery in your phone?

Sad to hear that two of your cards failed! Sounds like a bad batch of microSD cards by sandisk (at least wrt samsung S3/N2). But, like i said i'm using two sandisk microSDXC-1 cards (64gb & 32gb) without any issues for last two months. And there are many others using them without issues albeit some with issues too!

So, what brand SD card are you using now? I've realised those having problems with sandisk are happy with samsung UHS (class 10) sd cards.
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
I first thought about ordering one, but then realized that it's too costly, plus ugly for me and just ordering an extra OEM battery with a seperate battery charger will do the job very well. Got a really nice deal from Anker, very good reviews of the battery on Amazon UK and XDA and gt 2 batteries+charger for just £11~Rs.900!!! Only thing is I fortunutely knew someone who is travelling from London to Delhi, to bring the stuff here. If you can, order these instead.

Thanks for that, but I am kind of wondering that would it be needed that I manually wipe data after flashing it, like I normally do in the case of flashing a new stock ROM(device wipe and clearing cache etc), just so there are no issues with the new ROM (when I used LL7 without a device wipe beforehand had very weird battery drainage, untill I wiped the device data and reflashed LL7).

Also, it seems you are very well experienced with this kernel, are there any disadvantages over the stock kernel you have personally noticed? Thanks a lot in advance if you do reply!

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
@SacGuru: When you are upgrading ROM then there is absolutely NO need to wipe data/factory reset. It's applicable when/if you wanna downgrade.

Same for kernel, well, you don't have to wipe cache or dalvik either. Just flash a kernel, that's all you need to do.
[Galaxy Note II General] SacGuru:
Good then, in that case. Btw, have you flashed this kernel now? Any major shortfallings that you have seen?

The thing is, I have seen a lot of people on XDA say that the battery life of this kernel is amazing, plus the extra features (controlling input current and all) vut they usually have been using this with ROMs such as Wanamlite etc, never with stock. I am wondering if there's a reason behing it.

[Galaxy Note II General] codeknight11:
I am guessing the problem is only with SDHC cards. My 64 GB SDXC cards fails but atleast it can be brought back to normal condition by formatting. The 32GB and 16GB SDHC card cant even be detected by any device once they fail. I bought a bunch of cards for all my gadgets and I am now regretting. I havent bought new cards yet. Dad's already angry because I wasted so much money on sandisk cards. Which brand do you recommend?
[Galaxy Note II General] fulcrum1971:
Using this kernel with stock rom and has no issues at all. Battery life is a better with power saving on but without power saver it's comparable even though it's over clocked to 1.8gz. Haven't tweaked the voltages though it can improve your battery life.

Well I have been using this perseus with stock roms and never did that with any custom ROMs now that we have xposed framework mods...

The best part about this kernel is that we can tweak it to our needs or what we feel is good... Also I have increased my charging current to 1950ma and now it charges really fast. .

[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
I've switched to Perseus just yesterday, so I won't comment anything. And I'll never use a custom ROM. So wait sometime, I'll provide feedback here, good or bad. But what Samsung did with 4.1.2, I don't think there is any space left for more bad/worse ;)

use an alternate email app like moxier or nitrodesk from playstore.. they apply the lock on the app itself rather than the phone. .

or if u have rooted ur device u can use various mods available to bypass the security lock in Stock email app..

I have the same problem, My company have the following pre-condition for Android Devices and IPhone it works like charm.

Pre-condition for android:

1. Device supported only S3 and Note-11 in samsung

2. Device should be Stock (un-rooted)

3. Full device encryption mandatory

4. Zenprise (MDM)-

5. Touch down for email client

once you configure, you will get emails.but device becomes useless you can't do any fancy things :)

This is the first android device i own (transitioned from iPhone, just experience Android world :) nothing else), not sure weather we have any hack to by-pass all this to get corporate email under this circumstance.

I've a buggy 'two finger swipe down to expand notifications' feature. It opens up but as soon as I take my fingers off, the expanded notification minimizes back to normal. Is it so for everyone? Is it a known bug? I'm on stock ROM 4.1.2 build MB2.

[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
Yeah.. that's a rare bug.. gotta add it to a bug list (If anyone keeping track on it)..
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Yes yes I know that, I really do know that. But what I'm talking here is not about the two finger swipe on the notification bar, but on individual notifications. Certain notifications can be expanded to perform some tasks easily, for example, reply to a tweet or 'like' a foursquare check in. Try doing it. When you get a mail notification in Gmail app, try to do a two finger swipe down on the notification. You'll understand. The notification would expand to give you an insight of the email. Not every notification can be expanded though. Most of the apps are yet to take advantage of this feature.

The SanDisk 32gb ultra disk sd card on my note 2 also is getting unmounted automatically and then mounting itself when waking up from deep sleep. ...

Somewhere it was mentioned that this is happening because Tw roms need exfat and aokp roms need fat 32 formats because stock kernel cannot support fat 32 and custom kernels have issues with exfat

So my question is whether anyone on stock rom and stock kernel with exfat sd card having any issues?

[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
Not me, I never have had this problem. I'm on stock ROM. See if you are right about what you've heard, back up your files and format your card in the required file system. If the problem persists, you would know you are in trouble.
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
Oh, Now i get it you meant the drop-down notification.. Hmmm that's odd i'm on DDMB2 (Stock+Rooted) my notification doesn't automatically close once i pull down for some information . I did a double check on Gmail,Screen-Shot and Google + everything seems A-oKay.. But i remember this one guy he posted something about a problem with his notification bar i think he said "At times my notification bar won't seem to respond it just freezes up i have to reboot in-order to make it respond." Someone suggested him( I think i'm not sure) to clear either his data on System.UI or Android System on Application Manger he cleared something and it worked for him. Let me know what happens after you done clearing the data(If you wanna take that risk).
[Galaxy Note II General] iampunX:
System UI and Application System, both do not seem to have any data or cache that can be cleared. Is it because I don't have root access? I tried a cache wipe during start up but that didn't help.
[Galaxy Note II General] eyan2011:
By my count i think you need root (I'm not used to being un-rooted)... i'm pretty sure it has something to do with System.UI(Smiley Red Ando Jelly) on application manger because it uses the system tools for status bar.

Dame it.. I wish i can bring my note 2 inside to work. But NOOOO they don't allow cameras phones insides those Shoobs.. You gotta wait till 1pm i'll get my break then i'll look around and see if i can find a fix.
