Guess im a lucky guy, bought a 32gb class 10 card a year ago and a 64gb class 10 a few weeks ago and never had a single problem with my cards

[Galaxy S III Accessories] Afro Samurai:
My 64gb just crapped out too. Maybe I went overboard wanting a 64gb as I was only using about 18gb of it. Back to Micro Center for a 32gb for only $20 but with a lifetime warranty. At least it's close to where I live so I only have to drive 15 minutes to get a new one if it tanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ashy:
it seems that the problem occurs at temperature below 20 Celsius (based on my phone's battery temperature readings)

by the way, here's my personal experience, I initially bought a Oct 2012 batch (32GB version...), and then returned it for a May 2013 batch (problem persists albeit less frequently aka able to sustain slightly lower temperature)

my latest RMA gave me July 2013 batch and I can almost safely confirm that the problem has been fixed by this batch, it is still Revision 8 though according to SD Insight
[Galaxy S III Accessories] sflesch:
I just RMAed and received mine back a few weeks ago and the performance is still awful. My Nook crashes and reboots and runs slowly. How do you know what version/date you have?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Capa1970:
I am finally considering this 64 GB card and I have a couple of questions:

1) Has Sandisk entirely fixed the issue that plagued the earlier cards?

2) I am considering purchasing it from Amazon but I am not finding the warranty length?

3) Some people say that the card should be formatted with Exfat, Fat32, or not formatted at all. What is the real consensus?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Fevves:
My Mobile Ultra 64GB died on me just on it's own on December the 30th... It worked ok from september 2012 when I purchased it, but it just went dead.

I did literally everything possible to see if it can be revived (won't write a long sotry on that).

Product code is: SDSDQU-064G-U46A, which SanDisk marketed as Android compatible, but truth is: it is not at 100%. As far as I could find out on the net, seems like SanDisk made a change in card ROM chip from the March 2013 and new batches of SDSDQUA-064G-U46A or better yet SDSDQUA-064G-A11A should be fine and finally compatible with Android phones, but my trust in SanDisk is lower then zero now, seen how EU assistance treated me like I haven't done my homework, asking bollocks 3 times in a row (which I promptly replied with all needed and requested information each time around) and stating I should pay for one way shipment to Check republic facility... I will certainly not do so (!) and I escalated the issue with Amazon SARL as I bought the card from them, but they were not sure from the start and asked if I can contact SanDisk (guess why?). We will see what is going on from there.

Just some more personal rage: see the package info and card info I got back in 2012 AND SANDISK TRIED THE OLD MARKETING TRICK BY PRINTING THE ANDROID ICON THERE!!!:

View attachment 2491686

BTW, this POS "ULTRA" card yielded almost same result as class 4 or 6 old cards, and is not at par on any expectation, let alone stated transfer speed, even if used with their adapter. So to have storage for the new Year's Eve, I took one Samsung Pro card and I can assure you it's far faster then this SanDisk Ultra model. It wrote at 15,10 MB/s and read at 18,89 MB/s in my phone (this is Samsung Pro series, not Sandisk which is slower).

I'll relay relevant info once everything is unveiled, but so anyone is aware, SanDisk is now stating MicroSD cards compatibilities with devices here: http://pct1.sandisk.com/NewSearch.aspx

See for yourself if your product is on the list of your particular phone.

TBC.

Edit:

Amazon will reimburse or substitute my SanDisk microSD, though they have not stated with what exact product they're ready to perform this substitution. I asked of their indications re product codes, but most certainly will opt for a total reimbursement as I do not trust SanDisk products anymore seen they flopped not only with 64GB but also with prior HC 32GB back in 2012 and it's still happening now..

Edit2:

Opted for a full reimbursement as Amazon would subst it with the same article I originally had, but they did made a bit of confusion also stating it would be a different product code. As I already wrote, I don't trust SanDisk products are reliable anymore and will have faith in other companies (until proven wrong), even they're one of those few stating compatibilities on specific models of gadgets (S2, S3, S4, Note2 and Note3 are perfectly compatible, as per their lists).

I wrote them off (SanDisk) stating I'm refusing their (costly) RMA (can get 32GB UHS-1 class 10 for that money) favoring Amazon FREE OF CHARGE reimbursement.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bleached45:
Hey guys, I just realized I wasn't the only one with this crazy problem. 32gig ultra class 10.

I don't have any Samsung products and do not believe it was used in one at all. I had it in my LG Optimus G.

I was getting frequent unmounts/data corruption. I reformatted it multiple times through recovery, android, and windows.

It would work for a few days then die again, and finally I couldn't get it to read in anything (laptop card reader with sandisk sdcard adapter, Asus Transformer 101, LGOG).

Anyways, I was wondering if I needed the packaging to do the RMA? I don't think I have it. It was a gift from quite some time ago.

Thanks
[Galaxy S III Accessories] ghostofcain:
No you don't.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] cr0wnest:
I have this problem two, using my second 16GB UHS-1 sandisk card now and ive been getting the same issue for months. Sometimes the SDcard will randomly remount itself. And quite often when i take it out and put it back, or when I reboot the phone, my set ringtones stored in the external sdcard get reset to a bunch of numbers (Which is actually nothing, and no ringtone plays) and i have to manually reset them. Its not a really big issue but it goes get annoying because i have a custom ringtone for almost everything. Ive also read that SGS3s tend to kill sdcards though.

Will probably try Samsung sdcards from now on.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] bleached45:
Make sure if there is anything important on that card you keep it backed up somewhere else. I had the exact same thing, even the ringtones. Then my card just stopped working all together. I used to trust Sandisk but this has me wondering.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] Ravin_Dave:
Just had the second "twin" die a death the same way. Will be RMA ing this one as well. Strangely just also had a 32Gb USB stick die at work too. All manufactured about the same date. QC going down the pan at Sandisk maybe ??
[HTC One X] herbie13:
I'm trying to help a friend remotely fix his current brick of a HOX and would like some pro advice to ensure im telling him the right thing. Info I have:

Its S-On UK T Mobile CID T-MOB005.

He obtained a 1.39 firmware from somewhere that matched his CID

At some point in the process the firmware flash failed or partially flashed

His Custom Recovery is gone

His HBoot version has not increased (i think 1.12)

He has a security warning under the 'relocked' message in bootloader

Before he tried the firmware upgrade he flashed viper x 3.4.0 + boot.img so the phone wont boot up normally now

He has a nandroid backup from before the process.

Im going to recommend to him to download the 1.36 firmware from Mikes thread here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1957376 (i notice there is no 1.39 available for his CID so im suspicious this was a duff file he had for 1.39)

If he cant flash it because of low power then he should use the charging batch script first or re-unlock, flash CWM, restore nandroid and flash the boot.img from it so he can boot phone and charge it normally or from cwm.

I guess after that start to look at an RUU or a stock nandroid backup download to be able to do the firmware OTA ?

My own HOX is S-Off so im not as familiar with the process as i never worried about the correct firmware or had to flash boot.img separately from roms or nandroids.

Any tips appreciated.

Cheers
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed

Yeah that's about it.....only flashing the rom is not going to work because of the low hboot.

Just charge the battery and and unlock the bootloader, then reflash a custom recovery and charge the battery up in there.

With enough power he can relock the bootloader and flash the firmware

Fastboot oem lock

Fastboot rebootRUU (watch the capital letters)

Fastboot flash zip firmware.zip

Unlock the bootloader

Fastboot flash unlocktoken unlock_code.bin

Then flash the custom recovery again and install a new rom ! :thumbup:
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Cheers, so out of interest what causes the Security Warning in the bootloader ? Is it because the phone knows there is a screwed up firmware flash or knows it cant boot\has low power ? It must have done something as his custom recovery was wiped even though the Hboot ver didnt change.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
how does the security warning look like exactly.....i know there is a warning because the bootloader is relocked. don't know if we are talking about the same picture now ;)
[HTC One X] Alex240188:
Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed

You have to relock the boot loader to flash an updated firmware which is the point you are at and why you are seeing the security warning.

The first time you flash the updated firmware it flashes everything else.

Stock recovery, boot.IMG and sometimes other partitions.

Then it tries to flash the hboot and fails.

All you usually have to do is tell it to flash a second time and then in succeeds in updating boot.

Obviously he stopped after the first attempt which is why only the recovery changed and not the hboot.

I doubt he has a bogus firmware as the phone will not attempt to flash anything that isn't signed and cid matched.
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Great will check, just assumed he had tried it twice as all instructions I've seen state that you must but then again i dont know what instructions he followed - maybe he didnt ! Ive not seen this explanation of whats being flashed and in what order before - cheers.
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Ive not seen it but i assume its something like this

*** RELOCKED ***

*** Security Warning ***

Then all the usual bootloader stuff

based on images ive seen before on web. can find them with a quick google of images.
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed

Yeah that's normal :thumbup:
[HTC One X] herbie13:
Re: Hboot upgrade attempt failed

Ok it lives ! Was a combination of the firmware file and his battery being too low to flash so he put cwm back on, charged and then followed my instructions. Cheers for help

This is the what I sent him incase anyone else finds them useful. Assumes you know roughly what your doing and that you must get back to fastboot usb for the commands :).

-----------------------------

So get phone into fastboot mode by power plus vol and choose it in bootloader., plug usb in so it says fastboot usb, then get command prompt in directory with fastboot in on pc.

1. Lock bootloader with: fastboot oem lock

2. Vol and power down to get into bootloader again

3.fastboot oem rebootRUU

4. Should now get phone with silver HTC in middle on black

5. fastboot flash zip firmware.zip where this is the new firmware for your cid.

6. Might fail first time. Do it again and it works

7. Should now see green bar completed under the htc

8. Power and vol to get to bootloader. The hboot should now be updated.

9. Now to unlock bootloader again

. fastboot flash unlocktoken unlockcode.bin (where unlockcode.bin is the file you got from htcdev)

10. Now on the phone select yes and it reboots.

11. Don't wait just use power and vol to get into bootloader.

12. Flash custom recovery again. fastboot flash recovery recovery.img where recovery.img is the cwm 5.8.4.0

13. You can now flash your chosen Rom boot.img. fastboot flash boot boot.img

14. fastboot erase cache

15. Now use recovery to flash the Rom.

16. Done

Have anyone encounter the nexus 4 charger emit noise when the phone is fully charged?

But when I turn the phone screen on, the noise will be gone and back again when the phone screen is off.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Strike_Riku:
My Two cents

I don't own a nexus 4 but mine dies the same exact thing. Usually when the battery is full. My guess is the phone is rejecting the charge. But when You turn the screen on, the charger powers the screen and possibly the speakers, so it stops.

Thanks for the comments. I hope my charger don't fail on me. Just want to confirm did anyone use a nexus 7 charger to charge nexus 4? I read through forum, though the nexus 7 using 2A than nexus 4 1.2A. The phone will charge fine without damaging the battery or the phone, since it only draws the amount of charges needed.

I think this will be my new smart phone when I upgrade my contract. But my concern is, as the title states, it's unibody's quality. The iphone5 was a failure.

For those lucky enough on xda that has the phone, your thoughts?
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkial:
The issues with the iphone were evident straightaway from what I can recall..

This has been around for almost a month.. reviews have had it. No real issues.

[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mDaniel:
Definately better than my iPhone 5. The only minor issue I have is that the headphone jack is a little fringed (really, not much, but it bothered me :D)... but I solved that issue with a scalpel :D But that's not a problem with the unibody... the aluminium is absolutely flawless.
[One (M7) Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonstatt:
I raised a thread on the Q&A thread. Some ONEs are coming with tiny nicks on the bezel edges of the aluminium, and one poster already said their Mrs managed to damage the metalwork edge just with her fingernail. So I have no doubt its better than iPhone 5...but aluminium is a soft metal.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FinancialWar:
can someone give me the thickness of the casemate pop for s3? Couldn't find this information any where on the internet.

Thanks.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlimSnoopOS:
Amazon (US) has it listed:

Oddly enough, there's no dimensions listed on the actual box itself or on Case-mate's website.

I'm not sure if this will show correctly but here's where I bought it from on Amazon. I love the case and at $20 on Amazon it was hard to pass up.
[Galaxy S III Accessories] FinancialWar:
are you sure that's the dimension for Case Mate Pop for S3 and not some other Case Mate case?

Because 0.4 inch = 1 cm

My S2 case mate pop is 1.5 cm or 0.6 inch

Is the CM Pop for S3 that much thinner than CM Pop for S2?
[Galaxy S III Accessories] SlimSnoopOS:
I have no idea, that's what their product listing says on Amazon so I can't compare between the two since I only own a GSIII. It's probably more like 0.5 inches or even the same thickness as the GSII from what you said. As a case, it doesn't add much heft...it's needed for me since it's already a much too thin phone.

Following the footsteps of our friends angelomaldito and Simonetti2011, creators of the Brazilian discussion threads on the SGS2 (GT-I9100) and SGS3 (GT-I9300) forums respectively, I've though about starting a thread for the Brazilian-related Galaxy S4 discussion.

Feel free to post anything you want in here and don't be afraid to ask any question you may have - just keep an eye out for the XDA forum general rules and good manners and I'm sure everyone will treat each other nicely around here.

I'd just like to remember everybody (specially newcomers - welcome, by the way) of XDA forum rule number 4, related to thread language. Since this is an international forum, we have to post everywhere in English, but feel free to post it in English - even if translated through Google Translator (it is not an obligation to speak fluent English to be able to participate here, much on the other way around) and in Portuguese as well, just like I've done in this post.

Best regards.

Seguindo os passos dos nossos amigos angelomaldito e Simonetti2011, criadores dos tópicos brasileiros nos fórums do S II (GT-I9100) e S III (GT-I9300), respectivamente, eu pensei em começar um tópico para discussão geral do Galaxy S4 brazuca.

Sintam-se a vontade para postar qualquer coisa aqui e não se preocupem em fazer qualquer pergunta - apenas fiquem de olho nas regras gerais do fórum do XDA e a boa educação e respeito e eu tenho certeza que todos tratarão o próximo com respeito por aqui.

Eu apenas queria lembrar a todos (especialmente aos novatos - sejam bem-vindos, por falar nisso) da regra nº 4 do fórum do XDA, relacionado ao idioma do tópico. Sendo este um fórum internacional, nós temos sempre que postar em Inglês, mas sintam-se a vontade para postar em Inglês - mesmo se traduzido pelo Google Tradutor (ninguém é obrigado a falar Inglês fluente para participar dos fóruns aqui, muito pelo contrário) e em Português também, como eu fiz nesse post.

Um abraço a todos.

Anyone getting the I9505?
[Galaxy S 4 General] do1984:
I'm still thinking about it. I've subscribed to the Claro info form, and depending on how much they are going to charge me, I am getting the 9505, basically for the well spread Qualcom documentation, which allows easier custom implementations. But let's see. Whenever Claro gets in touch with me I will let you know.

[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Finally someone decided to start a thread :).

I'm getting the i9505 since 4G has just started working in Brasília for Claro and Vivo. And because of Qualcomm documentation. I suffered enough with Exynos on Galaxy S2 for custom roms. Not anymore :D

The lowest price for Claro 4Ģ is R $198. No prices have been posted for Vivo yet.

I also have a friend that works on the local Samsung store here in Brasilia and he told me the Galaxy S4 is coming in the first quarter of May. I don't know if it's the i9500 or i9505 or both.
[Galaxy S 4 General] dandroid13:
That makes a difference only to AOSP ROMs, I'm more interested in 4G speeds.
[Galaxy S 4 General] do1984:
That's about what I pay for month already. The only thing holding me back is the camera. Somewhat the Exynos shots seems to be better with more details than the SD600. I hope it's just related to old firmware since the camera is a deal breaker to me.

[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
I hope we get the international version of i9505 and not a variant like i9305 (Galaxy S3 4G) and i9305T (Galaxy S3 4G in Brazil).

Although flashing roms between the two versions is possible because of the exact same firmware, you might mess up with the modem for the 4G connection.

I heard the S4 is suppose to support all LTE frequencies so no variants would be needed like the S3. I surely hope so :rolleyes:

---------- Post added at 10:42 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:37 PM ----------

I've seen many shots from S600 version on this forum and it's pretty impressive. I almost didn't notice any differences between the two. If the Exynos version is indeed better it wouldn't matter much in my opinion. The decisive factor for me is Development support and 4G so I'll be getting i9505 for sure.

[Galaxy S 4 General] dandroid13:
The only different h/w is the proccessor, it surely is some s/w issue.

Both proccessors support all 20 LTE bands, but the technology to do so doesn't exist yet. Samsung decided to add the 4G modem to the SD600 version because of their supply issues, I guess all Note III variants will use Exynos octa.

Yup, I live right across the street from one of the malls that have a Samsung Store here in São Paulo, so I can preety much say for sure that I'll be there on this Saturday, 27 April, to check out the I9505 variant...

Depending on how it goes and the so called "exclusive" surprise, I might be getting one myself... But only if it lives up to my expectations... 4G isn't exactly something I'm excited about, since São Paulo won't see it before 2014 and it has always been a personal policy of mine not buy from the very first batch of anything (you guys remember the SGSIII yellow tinted screen fiasco?)
[Galaxy S 4 General] MaKTaiL:
Once you are there can you check under Device Information if it is indeed i9505 and not a variant like i9505x or i9505L? I really hope we are getting the international version of the 4G.

Speaking of which, Vivo and Claro will be launching 4G in São Paulo, Rio and Brasília on April 30th. You won't have to wait until 2014 to experience it. :)
