====

Hi there, I'm running Android 2.3.4 (4.5.91) Atrix (rooted) and have extremely slow write speeds. I have seen other users with other newer phones on Android 4.1.1 that seem to steer towards TRIM not being used. They have since fixed this in Android 4.1.2 according to the post, but doesn't help me with an Atrix :(. I tried to fix my phone with: several apps on the market like forever gone that write and fill your drive up then erase. I tried to use mount -o remount,discard - but discard is not allowed with this phone. I've tried deleting files on my internal and moved a TON of my apps to sdcard (Still internal storage just /sdcard/* because I'm using no actual SDCard) and still the problem exists. I've tried changing my schedulers and buffer with them to no avail. I've tried using the PDSFIX someone else posted here, and that didn't work either. Tried clearing dalvik / app cache entirely, no change either.

Kind of at a stand-still here as I don't want to factory restore my phone to fix a bug. If I'm going to be factory restoring it and spending an entire day doing so, I'd rather just get a new phone and start over where a problem clearly exists over time with the old phone, and I'll end up having to re-do it over and over, and there STILL isn't a guarantee that it will fix when i factory restore! So.. I need help! If there's ANYTHING you guys can think of that I might be able to do to get my phone back to "working" I would appreciate it! Even updating apps from market or opening an app normally that will use write speed at all, will hang and mostly offer to force close/wait.

APP Storage (Assuming /data?)

1.3GB Used - 665MB Free.

Internal Storage (assuming /sdcard?)

7.5GB used - 3.2GB Free.

Using Androbench:

/data (ext3)

SEQ RD: 16.65MB/s

SEQ WR: 0.22MB/s

RND RD: 1123 IOPS

RND WR: 33 IOPS

Buffer: No

/sdcard (vfat)

SEQ RD: 20.72MB/s

SEQ WR: 2.36MB/s

RND RD: 1145 IOPS

RND WR: 65.78 IOPS

As you can see: /sdcard is getting SEQ 2.5MB/s write and RND WR of a bit lower around 0.8MB/s which is clearly higher than /data.

I've read just about every thread on slow speeds here and most deal with a physical SDCard which I do not have one installed.

http://sourceforge.net/projects/fstrim/?source=dlp

I found a source for fstrim.c but I need to compile it on my phone which costs 3$? I'm afraid it would be a wasted purchase if it didn't work. As far as I know ext3 does not support "discard" option so you need to CRON job fstrim -v / (I have seen this as a solution for others)

Does discard option work with vfat? Or it seems maybe TRIM is the issue here. If I could find a compiled version I could use ON my phone to test, that would be awesome. I tried searching everywhere for an APP to do TRIM commands on your filesystem but came up empty handed.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmac:
UPDATE: Looks like TRIM doesn't work on Android 2.3.4. Looks like I'll be getting rid of my phone instead of fixing it, as it's impossible to fix apparently. Does not support -discard or TRIM, and have no feasible way to fix. I kind of liked the Atrix but it seems I will not be buying another Motorola product. Stay away from the ATRIX, it's JUNK.

Just saw they offer 100$ if you upgrade from Atrix 1 to Atrix HD but there are far better phones on the market now to even bother. WHY? Motorola, you need to take your head out of your ass.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doqmyk:
Have you tried ROM Manager? It has a setting for boosting SD read/write (increase value from 128 to 2048 or 4096.) Hmm.. I dunno what I'm talking aboutz.:eek:

If you are that frustrated and will buy a new phone anyways, why not factory reset your phone and get it done and over with? At least there's a small chance you can fix your problem in Atrix as a principle.. And give you a reason to give in to the nagging innards about buying a shiny new Galaxy Note2 :cyclops: Atrix is still a nice back-up phone...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmac:
I installed that and didn't see the option. I have titanium backup and titanium media sync but I'm afraid a recovery would be at .5MB/s write and that could take many hours, haha.. umm I guess the reason I haven't factory restored is because this problem will reoccur without a solution. This is only logical. Simply factory restoring my phone every time I fill it up with anything or take long video,etc is not a solution to anything.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doqmyk:
Whoops, sorry, my bad, not ROM Manager.. but ROM Toolbox Pro.

On the 1st page of ROM Toolbox Pro, swipe downwards, and presto! SD speed up option :)

Maybe if you reset it once, AND reinstall the ROM, (after wiping Dalvik and data with the toilet paper..) the problem might go away. Most probably a ROM corruption or app afficted error.

Doesn't hurt to try, especially after purchasing a shiny brand new Note 2..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmac:
Tried setting the cache to all the different settings, nothing changed really. If anything, it got worse so I uninstalled, heh.. I've been uninstalling any apps I can think of but nothing is working. :(

I'm really trying to figure out the damn problem so I don't HAVE to upgrade my phone... I'd rather not waste my 2-yr upgrade on a 300$ upgrade now when there are new devices coming out in a few months :\

Thanks for the help though. Going to mess around with it a bit more I guess.

UPDATE: I wiped my phone COMPLETELY. Unlocked bootloader, and tested, nothing. Same speeds, SLOWER if anything!?!?!?!?

I updated to the newer version 4.5.141 and..

moto-fastboot erase system

moto-fastboot erase boot

moto-fastboot erase webtop

moto-fastboot -w (wipe data)

Used CWM to format /cache

Soo. Wat now? hah..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doqmyk:
If you have fully wiped and reset it, it would most probably be a hardware fault, no longer a ROM or setting problem. Probably your NAND has worn out (overused?) or has factory defect that became apparent only recently. You can try using CWM (advanced) to convert ext3 to ext4 the /cache, /data, etc, and see if it helps in any little way or if any. If no effect, and If it's still usable, then just use it as a secondary or back-up phone.:(

(epinter's CM10.1 ROM would be nice for that..)

or you can just trade it in for a new phone.. Good luck..
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmac:
Interesting, my mother has the same phone and got it a bit after mine, her stats:

SEQ RD: 17MB/s

SEQ WR: 2.68MB/s

RND RD: 4MB/s 1027IOPS

RND WR: 0.16MB/s 42IOPS

So. It looks like Motorola designed these NAND chips to fail after a year or two causing the need to upgrade the phone to a new model.. I can't come up with any other solution other than they used cheap as hell hardware?
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barry_:
I have read your posts and I'm wondering how the phone feels when you're using it? (as opposed to looking at the stats)? I must admit you got me confused with all attention to write speeds ect.

As you've rooted/unlocked the bootloader what would you think about installing a custom rom? Something like CM7.2

It shouldn't take long. You've already got Titanium backup so you can back up your apps that you downloaded (not system apps) and install them after you have installed your new rom. It really shouldn't take long.

There is also a zip file called 'ram fix' which I've put here which might help after you've installed CM7.2 (it was designed for CM9/10 but there's no harm in trying it out)

You could also install a kernel which overclocks your CPU speed, thus making your phone faster.

If you decide to go down this route you'll need to do the following:

download CM 7.2/Gapps/Ramfix/Faux 1.3 overclock kernel and install on internal sd card

back up apps using titanium back up (do not back up system apps)

go into recovery and select 'mounts and storage'

format the following: system,data,osh,cache,preinstall

go back to main recovery menu and select 'install from sd card'

select 'choose zip from internal sd card'

select the CM7.2 zip that you have put on there (it will be at the bottom)

select Gapps zip and install

restart phone and go through start up procedure'

After Gapps has installed go back into recovery and repeat steps to get to install the ramfix zip and overclocking zip

restart phone

reinstall Titanium and reinsatll your apps of choice.

and hey presto... you'll have a new shiny fast Atrix :good:
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dosmac:
Considering doing this, not even sure if I can restore my Atrix back to stock and relock the bootloader. I unlocked it thinking CWM and this restore would be the fix.. heh.. nope.

The phone is basically usable as long as you're not...doing anything. Opening apps takes forever, a reboot takes 5-6minutes about. To update an app, everything on the phone comes to a GRINDING halt until the app completely updates, that is if market doesnt force close first. I have to keep hitting "wait" at least 2-3 times until a small app updates. If its a 20MB app, it's frozen for 3minutes+ just updating one app. Anything that writes/reads from my internal memory is deathly slow. I'll have to try CM7 mod maybe Neutrino?

Is it even possible to turn in this phone to Moto for the 100$ rebate and blowing my 2-yr upgrade on a ATRIX HD? It seems more effective to just go and get a Galaxy Note II with 399$ than it does to get a Atrix HD, quadcore vs dualcore? I wanted to wait until Tegra 4 came to market, but I don't know how long that will be.. I'm left with a mediocre phone that is stock (i've not re-added my apps yet with titanium backup). Not sure where to go next with this. I'm hoping I can import my apps to Jellybean from Gingerbread with Titanium Backup!! Thank you for all the help. I appreciate it!

I have the same problem. Currently running CM 10 from epinter.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlueArchon:
OP, did you ever find a solution to this problem?

I'm facing the same issue with my atrix (stock Gingerbread 2.3.4, not rooted, free app storage: 1.24Gb, free internal: 9.91Gb):

Sequential Read: 10.67 MB/s

Sequential Write: 0.28 MB/s

Random Read: 1.48 MB/s

Random Write: 0.02 MB/s
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresrivas:
Both of you, have you tried "sd speed increase" app from play store? I recall doing this recomendation, with examples in another post. It can greatly increase reading/writing speed for sd card an internal storage as well
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PolesApart:
ndsLux was

Note that (alpha) 3.1.10 kernel always had slow sd write. Only now people starting to discuss that (see epinter's 10.1 dev thread and/or kernel 3.1 one, I didn't remember which one it was, but krystianp is aware of that).

As of cm7, I never had this issue. Copying files via usb for instance was fast and smooth. Same for epinter's 10.1 with old kernel. With kernel 3.1, it 's slow as hell. Yet to be fixed, perhaps?

I need successful user reports for all the features. Once I get confirmation that everything works as expected, I'll submit my device tree to TWRP and ask for official builds. Goo manager support would follow from there.

I updated the build to version 1.1. For those who are S-OFF, there's no difference from 1.0. For those who are S-ON and using HTCDev Unlock (from team fireballas), there's now HTC Dumlock included. I'm still not sure if it is even needed...

Internal wipe clears out your internal sdcard's media partition (pictures, music)... probably don't want to do that.

im trying to mount my phone to my computer while in recovery and its not working v2.3.3.0 idk if its my computers usb its certainly not my phones micro usb the thing is brand new
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
The ability to mount the phone's sdcards on the computer while in TWRP was unknown to me. I'm working on the issue. The attached recovery is a first stab at a fix, let me know if it works (my faith is low though since the devices didn't mount in ubuntu for me).

MD5: 6fa24210afa860c38fef3f2a7d4360d1

Edit: the attached recovery did not fix the issue. I'll try to look into this sometime this week (research presentations and job interviews over the next few weeks so time is very scarce right now).
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DavDoc:
Mine isn't mounting either, internal nor external card, but I can get it to work through ADB, (work around for the time being)

Interesting side note though, (and this may be expected by some, it was new to me) while in TWRP recovery and running shell though ADB it was listing my actual external SD card as "sdcard" and actual internal SD as "internal_sdcard". I have used CWM on another device and I don't remember it changing the file structure while in recovery. Also I had shell root upon issuing the

adb shell

command. This is my first device using TWRP, it was just different.

Edit: Never Mind, I am running TWRP v2.2.0, this may not have any validity with the OP's version, sorry.

Edit my Edit: OK I just flashed v2.3.3.0 and same goes, I can get in through ADB and I have shell root once in shell. However, the file system looks like it should with "sdcard" and internal and "external-sd" as external. All else seems normal.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I worked on the sd card mounting issue last night, but still have not figured it out. I will try to get some assistance from the TWRP folks if I find time tonight. Just to make sure, the feature worked when you used TWRP 2.2 by con247?

In fact, I may be misinterpreting how the feature works. Is the computer supposed to auto-mount your SD card when plugged in via USB, or do you have to activate the feature from within TWRP somewhere?

I just tested and this is what I see:

drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 16384 Jan 1 1970 external_sd
drwxrwxrwx 11 root root 32768 Jan 1 1970 sdcard

EDIT: Both in TWRP and in 'adb shell' the locations are correct.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] DavDoc:
It doesn't auto mount upon connecting usb, I didn't try mounting it though, through TWRP settings. From what I can tell, both versions work the same, they just have different names for the file structure, and only for the external and internal sdcards - didn't really investigate any other files.

Edit: To answer your first question, no it didn't work in either version. Don't know who's v2.2.0 it is, but it is the recovery that was added into the supercid.auto script.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
i think they mean usb mounting is gone it is suposed to be under mount option
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Right, so if I just understood this a couple of days ago I could have had a fix pretty quick. I naively thought the phone was supposed to auto-mount to the computer, which would make no sense because the drives would then be inaccessible to TWRP's routines. Anyways, build 1.2 enables the feature and both internal and external SD cards can be accessed.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
Its back thanks I wish I can thank you twice and don't want to complain but only thing missing is the backup android.secure option under backup
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
Does your .android_secure folder actually have anything in it? Mine is empty on Viper 2.1.1. I just moved an app to SD and the folder is still empty. The reason I ask is because the and-sec folder is correctly mounted and linked to /sdcard/.android_secure when in TWRP.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
I've never seen anything in android secure ever on any phone
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] x2kjosh:
On my OG DInc running AOSP that folder would indeed store sdcard apps... strange its different now....
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
I moved all apps my apps to sd card and I checked android_secure under sdcard and sdcard2 in root explorer and nothings in there. I can't delete the folder though so it must be of some importance
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jose51197:
I have like 200mb on that folder try looking at its size cause android could be hiding them
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] Linch89:
Checked sdcard and sdcard2 both are zero bytes idk man
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
From this screenshot, it looks like the option to backup android_secure should be present even when the size of the folder is zero. I'm not sure why the option isn't showing, so I'll look into it.

I have double checked the size and contents of my android_secure folder and it is empty. I'm not sure why yours is filling up. There is a possibility that Viper does not use android_secure, whereas the stock rom does (you've been playing with pizzuto claws which is mostly stock). It could be that TWRP looks to see if the rom utilizes android_secure and only then offers to back it up (not sure how it would check though). Do you currently have Viper or Pizzuto Claws installed?

Ok, so I just rebooted my phone into recovery and the option to backup .android_secure is present. Apparently moving that one app to SD did populate the folder and TWRP detects it just fine. I would check that /and-sec is mounting correctly from adb shell while in TWRP. Mine shows:

/and-sec # ls -l
ls -l
-rwxrwxrwx 1 root root 70318592 Jan 8 03:24 com.lazy8studios.cogs-1.asec

If that folder isn't mounting, then you might have some errors in your .android_secure folder. You might also try going to Settings: Restore Defaults from within TWRP and then rebooting to recovery.

No idea, but I was surprised to see that. However, I can say that ROM Manager does not appear to play well with TWRP v2.4.1.0.

I flashed TWRP v2.4.1.0, and ROM Manager still claims CWM 6.0.2.8 is installed. (Even after a couple reboots into recovery/system)

My simple test to initiate a Nandroid backup from ROM Manager just rebooted the phone into recovery and no backup was started.

Re: [Recovery] TWRP 2.4.1.0 - Official Build

Sounds like rom manager isn't setting up openrecovery correctly. Perhaps installing TWRP through goo manager would help... convoluted but could be a work-aroud.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] IceDragon59:
If I recall correctly, ROMManager was specifically designed for CWM, as it was designed by the same guy who made CWM, and has never worked with TWRP.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
I think you missed post #41.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] mdmower:
After you flashed TWRP, did you go into ROM Manager and select Recovery Setup > TWRP? When I do that ROM Manager successfully calls TWRP and initiates a backup. Of note is that although the path read /sdcard/... it actually backed up to /external_sd/

Edit: it is worth mentioning that I did flash TWRP through GooManager, which may install some necessary OpenRecovery scripts to your sdcard.
[Verizon HTC Droid Incredible 4G LTE] jcpowell:
Re: [Recovery] TWRP 2.4.1.0 - Official Build

Works correctly for me also. According to koush on Google plus after it's initial update bugs arose but now after feedback he has seemed to corrected the matter be it I didn't try it until afterwards but maybe that was an issue.

It's not a glitch, this isn't Wreck it Ralph.

No. I didn't realize that was there. I see it now (in the recovery setup). I'll try it again tomorrow (flash it in fastboot).

2/18 Edit: I flashed TWRP via fastboot, then properly set up ROM Manager for TRWP, and all is well. Backup initiated with app worked just fine - even to the correct SD card. (ROM Manager set to use external). :good:
