exFAT and Format SDcard

I was wondering when we can expect support for exFAT SDcards and when we will be able to format the SDcards through the android menu! Any response is greatly appreciated!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
I don't think we'll ever see exFAT as that is a closed source, proprietary file system. See the wiki on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exfat
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] JamesChilds:
How about when we will be able to format SD card through system settings, or can anyone advise of an app that allows me to do so? I'm OK with fat32 its just none of my apps can see media on sdcard. Connected phone to PC and could not find any .nomedia files.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] sbrissen:
yes it should be in there

Thanks for the reply. I not sure what's wrong. Your earlier build worked flawlessly but this one doesn't want to lock on a GPS signal for me.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
OK running the 4/22 nightly.

I am having no issues at all.

Data, GPS, WIFI, 4G, and everything works great.

Only issue I am seeing is battery life.

Basically in Battery settings it is telling me Android OS is using about 60-70% of the battery on a typical charge. Battery is lasting about 16 hours on an average use day.

However last night I decided to turn on Airplane Mode as I didn't have a charger to charge my phone and it lasted over 6 hours only using 3% battery. This tells me there must be a bug in one of the mobile data drivers or something. Typically on a stock phone the screen ends up using the majority of the battery so maybe something can be done or tried to fix this?

Ran into an odd issue tonight...

While on WiFi and my Bluetooth headset connected, I made a call from the dialer. As the call appeared to be connecting, I used the on screen button to select the handset earpiece rather than the headset due to the crackling issue.

My call never went through, but the timer was counting.

I turned off WiFi, then the headset, but the call never went through. I pressed the end button, but the system hung there. After another minute, I long pressed the power button and selected reboot. The phone hung at rebooting for another minute. Finally, I had to do a battery pull and reboot.

I was able to connect to the mobile network and make my call.

Thanks for the apk, in the past, it was a flashable zip because some system data was needed. Just a straight install didn't work. I haven't used CM since I had my GS2 pos.

I'm getting an issue connecting to 5ghz WiFi. also no google now voice is a downer...

hdmi adapter doesnt work... you can see it trying to work (launcher goes landscape when it's not set to do that normally) but no signal reaches the tv...

another issue that might be "me" specific usb otg works great, however the one thing I used a LOT was a usb stick that isn't a usb stick, it's a usb adapter for micro sd cards. now cm 10.1 has managed to do on accident what I tried, and failed, to do on purpose both in touchwiz, Linux, and 3 different Windows versions: it recognized the sd card INSIDE the usb adapter AS AN SD CARD. the problem is it did this while I already had an external sd card inside the device so what it did was try and combine the two into one massive external one, fail, and completely destroy the file system of the card that was in the adapter... I don't know if anything can be done to fix this, or if anyone cares but I just felt like venting this one. oh and Windows manned to get my files back

one last thing, is there any way to get spen button to work on this one?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Fester9977:
I have flashed 01/29 and this is great, I started using it as a daily driver and have had nearly no issues. It did freeze up during a call and I had to pull battery, and so far the exchange services seem to be hanging up and eating at the battery. Other then that it is very solid and BT audio works without any issues.

Re: [ROM][SPH-L900][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies

Its because you need to format card to fat32, that is in all the op's, cm reads only fat32. So the card is not damaged. If that helps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] cherylbaker:
Re: [ROM][SPH-L900][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies

I understand the rom can only read fat 32 I voted back to a regular tw rom to copy my data off and reformat but my tw rom says it is bad. I put it in my computer it says its bad. I know it is not cause twrp reads it just fine. .

I need to get my data off to refirmat it..but how can I do that since no one can read it. The op says to flash this restore zip which I did but that did not help

Re: [ROM][SPH-L900][JB][4.2.1] CyanogenMod 10.1 official nightlies

Google voice and everything is fine. The nightlies have been my daily since the first one.. Bugs that I have found include +camera becoming "disconnected" if you piss it off by switching between apps and the camera really fast, +list scrolling is slowish, +MMS not working, +DSP Manager has no effect (in Pandora anyway, maybe it's only designed for the music app), +creates emulated/legacy and emulated/0 folders which mirror the internal SD card, tried updating twrp and fully wiping everything before install.

Can't think of anything else at the moment, these are minor issues and this ROM is totally stable and ready to be a daily. Or maybe I'm just tired of looking at bloated touchwiz haha.

Thanks cm team!

16 hours is pretty good. You probably will only get a couple more hours of you were on stock. With that 16 hours, what was your screen on time?

Have you tried to flash a touchwiz rom, get a gps lock, then flash back to cm10.1?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Good question.

Forgot to check that one. I'll let you know how today goes though.

I just find it really odd that when I was back on stock, typically my screen would be 25-35% of usage with a 12-15% Android OS usage.

That was with using Auto Brightness as well and the battery lasted just over 24 hours.

Now with these builds I'm seeing Android OS use almost 70% of my battery despite my screen being at max brightness.

Cyanogenmod Update

Hey guys, I've been off this ROM for a few weeks but just got back. I'm not seeing the CM update option in Settings->About Phone menu anymore. Was it moved?

I'm on 4/26 nightly. MMS is working well. The only issue I had was with GPS as many others are having. I loaded a TW ROM and did the GPS fix and it is working great now (so far).

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
OK here is an update on my battery.

Been running all day, at 11% right now after 16.5 hours in batt.

Android OS is currently at 40%

Maps is 22%

Then screen at 19%

Screen has been on for 1 hour and 37 min at full brightness.

Doesn't make any sense that the OS has more then double the battery usage as my screen...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DarkManX4lf:
Don't you have gps on? It looks like that my be killing some of your battery. The android os battery usage is weird and I have it too.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] k4killer:
Yes I do have GPS turned on.

It doesn't really seem to have an affect on Android OS.

Probably because I think it power is listed under Maps. Hence why that's at 22%

Even with GPS off though all day I might get an extra hour or so but my Android OS listing is going to bump up to 50% due to maps being taken out of the picture.

so i take it we can use TWRP correct lol? i haven't been here for a very long time. i'm still currently on LJC Stock w/Root. and plan on to update to TWRP 2.5.0.0 and then do a fresh install of this but the install instructions seem not correct. it says to

- Flash CM10.1 zip from SDCard

- Flash GApps zip from SDCard

- DO A DATA WIPE / FACTORY RESET (otherwise your device will be stuck at boot)

Shouldn't i do the Factory reset first before flashing CM10 and GApps?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DevilStrider:
The battery drain is to high. I went back to stock rooted.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
What I recomend:

Flash latest TWRP.

Factory Reset data (in latest TWRP, just do the slide under wipe menu).

Flash CM 10.1.

Flash Gapps.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] XxLostSoulxX:
Are you running on Stock Kernel, and or tried other kernels?

Secret might be in "keep awake" time.

Android OS reported that the keep awake was over 15 hours last night and my phones battery lasted 18.

Maybe its polling for data too much or constantly searching for signal.

Any progress in finding the problem?

Battery stats last night:

Android OS: 53% keep awake 15 hours, CPU time 9min.

Screen: 18% on for 50min at full bright.

Lasted for 18 hours

Usage: minor throughout the day, was asleep for the last 6 hours the phone was on. Didn't even last the night from 33%.

Going to test out Matrix Kernel and see if I see a major change in life.

This should tell us weather its an OS or Kernel problem. I am thinking OS, but you never know, besides Matrix has way more versatility then the CM Kernel anyway.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
Cm is honestly pretty stable for the note. I'm sure you just have a bad download or maybe downloaded for the wrong device. I've been a flashaholic for quite some time now and been on cm/carbon since the day I brought my note home. Battery life is about the last bug there is!

I'm having the same issue, seems to drop every 10-15 min just for a few seconds then comes back
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
If you are in an active Network Vision deployment area, then signal strength can be crazy. Due to the strong RF in this device, it will try to attach to far away towers that might be upgraded. Scott has been actively working on the battery drains, I'm running his custom release from 4/24 (in this thread) and it has been rock solid.

Not sure if those changes have been merged into the nightlies or not.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Rooster85:
And how do you know that? May still reside in kernel as I've had this drain on all aosp ROMs even using matrix

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] jefbal99:
For those having battery life issues, there is a build a page or so back from Scott on April 24th. That is not a nightly, but a custom build with newer wifi drivers and a wakelock fix. The battery life on that build is very much superior to the nightlies. The wifi drivers were merged today, but the wake lock fix hasn't been merged.

On the 4/24 build is get about 18-24 hrs with heavy use...
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] DevilStrider:
hmm I might try that.

Gps has improved greatly in the last month or so, especially in LTE areas.

I was on latest build and let me say my phone couldn't aquire a lock at all nothing. Sat there for over 10 mins. However and as soon as I went back to stock it started to work. And yeah I was Constantly on it like 8hrs and it was done
