aah, we meet again.

i was stating that with ostensibly identical hardware, i do not have this problem. perhaps it is a kernel or ROM or formatting issue, as some kernels do not work with exFAT, or other oddities. i formatted all 3 of mine on my PC in exFAT with a utility i downloaded somewhere here, as the GS3's supposedly had issues with in-phone formatted 64GB Sandisk Class 10's.

I'm 100% stock as well. I'm rooted but the corrupt SD card every second reboot was a problem before and after root.

---------- Post added at 08:34 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:34 AM ----------

Also I have tried reformatting exFAT. Haven't tried FAT32 but I think it's futile since I have files over 4GB.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] orezinlv:
After alot of research I came up empty on how to solve my issue. The card randomly dismounted while being accessed (watching movie, listening to music, etc.) I tried reformatting a couple times with different programs always n an overwrite manner. Same problem. UNTILl I made a mistake and reformatted it to exfat instead of fat 32. Since the overwrites take for bleeding ever I figured what the hell and Ave it a shot. Been a week, is faster and NO dismounts. Problem solved. Only downside is I can't put my flash zips on it as CWM recovery can't see exfat. No big deal for me as I have the 32gb version. Not as clean as I like but it was really annoying to have a dismount while working out listening to music etc.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] TemporaryTester:
Sandisk Ultras have issues, that I do know. They'll work fine, but if it ever gets interrupted in a file operation (or isn't ejected properly, even though it is a FAT32 or exFAT drive), it'll begin to deteriorate. I had this problem on both my old HTC Desire HD and the S4.

On my 32GB one, I had a bad dismount when the power died while transferring music to my card. After that, it began randomly dismounting and remounting, and file transfer speeds slowed to a crawl. Eventually, it locked itself to read-only, then the data went corrupt, then it became a formattable blank SD, then a unsupported and unformattable SD.

I returned mine to Costco, and am waiting for a decent sale before I pick up another one.

I've been using a 64gb SanDisk for nearly 2 years with no issues. Started with Note1, moved on to Note2 and now with S4 with no issues.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] MilzGatez:
I can confirm that you are right about it deteriorating.. I got SG4 like 2 months ago and got the Ultra 64gb MicroSD XC1 from BestBuy (I'm a newbie to Android, switched from BS iPhone ). It was working fine out of the box with Stock until I started to load files that I needed and didnt ejected properly so after a while it started to get errors while moving files,etc and getting blank card,etc, I have rooted a few ROMS and kernals, it didnt even read on my computer so I had the pc to force to read it and was able to reformatted to exFAT which worked great until last week it started to become very slow and today I decided to formatted to Fat32 and its working great so far
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Biker1:
I'm not sure if this has been discussed, but I just came across this review on Amazon which explains in detail why some are experiencing a conflict with their S4 and the SanDisk 64gb Class 10 cards. The review is from August and has been updated since, including this month. It discusses the issue with Samsung, and how SanDisk resolved the conflict by patching an update to the card's ROM. As per the reviewer and SanDisk, Samsung has refused to acknowledge they have an issue, and SanDisk took it upon themselves to come up with the solution, and that the cards are covered under warranty.

Not all 64gb cards are incompatible though.

I suggest to read the review to find out all the details, as I'm certain that the issue and resolution will pertain to many ;)

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] doubleflo7:
I know why this happens!

I actually have some insight about this issue :laugh: I was talking to a Sandisk engineer who works in my area, and he told me that the issue is with one line of code in the S4 software, just one line! He said Sandisk reached out to Samsung to have thie issue patched, but Samsung had no incentive to do so, especially since they manufacture their own 64gb card. I had tried TuneSync, DoubleTwist, and just plain copying files over from my pc. Then I tried returning my card to Sandisk, they sent it back and it failed again after a day.

The issue can be fixed by upgrading to any 4.3 ROM, I switched to the GE 4.3 ROM as soon as it was available and never had another issue. I'm now using the 4.4 CM11 ROM, and the card is running fine. I am using TuneSync again.

Hope this helps :good:

I had used a sandisk 64GB class10 card for a little over 8 months and it worked perfectly...until it decided to start deleting files I had downloaded and restore files I had previously deleted. It was almost as if the card was write locked after the fact. Tried formatting the card and now its unusable. I just switched to a 32GB card I had laying around (same make and speed, just different size) and no issues yet. Hopefully it holds up till I can get a new 64GB card.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] penguinjoe:
Same. I got my Sandisk Ultra 64GB micro SDXC card about 2 years ago when I had my Samsung Galaxy S3.

That card has taken huge amounts of abuse from me between reformatting between exfat and fat32 depending on the roms I was running at the time. When the SGS4 came out it went into that (as exfat ) and has likewise gone through reformats, ROM installs, backups and media playing in both formats. Lately it has been staying as exfat format (exfat supports files bigger than 4GB - fat32 doesn't) and I am running CM11 nightlies with it.

Regardless of all this abuse and demands on it, I have never had an issue with it at all.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] Everlong1189:
Does formatting the card multiple times put stress on the card?

Been using a 64GB class 10 for about 6 months now and haven't had any issues (knock on wood). Only thing I seen was it wouldn't let me copy but that was my mistake of removing it from comp unsafe
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 General] revized:
I am here wanting to fix the issue I have been having as well, I have used sandisk 64 and Samsung 64 gb and both start to show weird u shaped characters before each folder name after a couple reboots then corrupts everything, I then read at the Samsung web site where a dev said they were releasing a fix for this and to check with your service provider for the update.LoL so as it stands only the 32 gb works . any fix I can apply directly anyone know of?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Hi guys, I am currently on AOSPA 3.60 ROM and think its a great ROM love the per app control I have and it seems to run very very smooth, I notice little to no bugs.

However I like the all in one style idea that would give me an extra level of customisation by being able to use AOKP and CM tweaks.

But is there any disadvantage of basically having 3 ROM's in one? does this cause issues with overlapping settings? are there more bugs? do things run slower?

Basically tossing up whether I want to stick with PA which is rock solid for me or go to an all in one ROM for those extra settings and tweaks?

Cheers

Chris
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eqjunkie829:
I have never had great luck with the roms that combine too many features because they seem to start to lag after just a couple days and some of the settings menus don't work exactly right. You should definitely check it out to formulate your own opinion though.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kbeezie:
I've found the best stability in roms that pick a flavor and stick with it, while most do incorporate *some* features from popular roms, the unstable ones tend to be the ones that try to incorporate everything but the kitchen sink.

For example, SlimBean is based off AOSP (android open source project), but does incorporate some things like the kernel from cyanogenmod on certain devices.
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simms22:
the more crap, the more bugs(and chances for bugs).
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lewythefly:
Thank you guys, I guess I might have to give one a try and if there are to many bugs then revert back to PA
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 309041291a:
Might be irrelevant or just plain unlucky for me, but with PAC, Revolt, Xylon, etc I've had worse battery than say AOKP or Dirty Unicorns. So maybe battery what with all the extra things having to run and going on would be affected

Speed, meh. All feels the same to me

Bugs, definitely more in the all-in-one's

Stability, depends...

Hello guys. First, I'm a college dropout so I wanna apologize first about certain terminologies in which I do not know of since I'm new to this community. Second I also apologize if this question of mine has already appeared in this forum, and please do understand that I'm a noob. Third, I wanna apologize if I'm not as good as the others about understanding Android.

The thing is, I was trying to develop some Android things that I thought I was the only one doing. Then a friend of mine told me about this forum and I was so happy. Really happy. Not because I can hog information to the developers here, but because I knew the moment I opened this forum, that I can learn and understand more.

I understood that Android is an open source project right from the beginning and I always wanted to share my ideas to make Android more efficient and of course, more productive.

I made this thread to ask you guys if you can teach me more about Android and be a part of something that makes our life easier.

I manage to customize my own Galaxy Nexus Kernel, it is based on stock, and i don't know how to change its name so it still has the same name. The only reason why I did that is because of the battery life of the GNex. It is based on a 4.2.2 JDQ39 Stock ROM, and I tell you, after using my Kernel, with a nice charging cycle, I've been trying to use my GNex to its full capability. Phone calls, Messaging, Facebook, Games, and a lot more.

I'm not gonna assume that my Kernel is better than the other kernels here but I'm saying this as a promise that I am so willing to learn. For me, all of you are my teachers. And I will accept whatever you say, may it be good or bad.

I will post a screenshot of my battery stats and explain furthermore. But please, help me understand more since i didn't finish school.

Thank you!

PS: I did the attachment thing for the screenshot. How do I use the insert image thing? hehe!! xD

Hi

To all I am completely new to the M1000 after upgrading from a SPV c500 and throwing my old PDA away.

I have been reading through the forums about the Dual SIM

At the mo I have 2 Orange SIM Cards 1 on contact and 1 Pay as you go I would like to put both sims in the phone so that I can use my free minutes on contract and my free texts on Pay as you go.

I was thinking of buying the King of Double card Dual SIM Card form e-bay.

I have read that you can swap sims by turning on/off flight mode ???

I have regestered my interest in WiVit for there Today screen SIM switcher. But still not ready.

3 Questions

1. Has anyone done this

2. How do you switch sims using flight mode

3. How can you tell if both are on orange which one you are cureently using??

If anyone can answer this for me please please include idiot instructions as i dont want to break this terriffic phone

Many many thanks

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] eBoody:
Beans is a great rom if you like lots of options and customizations while not compromising on stock features.

Clean rom is an awesome stable and fast rom with the least amount of unnecessary stuff in it. Completely stock but with some nice little changes and features.

Both are awesome and you're likely to revert back to one of these after playing with the other ones. So set one up the way you like and make a nandroid

Backup of one of these so you'll have something stock to come back to.

Both have free tethering that you won't have to pay for.

I also recommend helium (premium) before you embark on your quest ;)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II] torr310:
Welcome, man!

Jelly Beans is very stable and with the best battery life I prefer.

CleanROM is also very stable but I would prefer more customization.

MeanBean is stable with a nice feature ZeroWakeUp, but Jelly Beans has better battery performance.

They all feel very close to stock ROM, so good choice if you prefer stock ROM feel.

I think this is a limitation from Touchwiz. I don't have CM on my phone atm to confirm, but I know that the lockscreen Pin lock behavior is different on the Nexus 7. Meaning the key difference is the fact that on my Nexus 7 I can still use other widgets (Google Now or HD Widgets) on the Pin lock, whereas SGS4 TW does not allow that...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] starmanj:
Nope. Wrong. Try adding a passcode and then try adding a camera widget.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] captivatingtab:
This is correct.... Just tested this on PAC ROM and I could access the camera and other lock screen widgets with both a pattern and pin lock
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] starmanj:
Right, but is there a ROM or tool to make this work on a Galaxy S4? captivatingtab did you try this on your tab or S4? Also I don't use Touchwiz, I use Nova, which still has this limitation-- so I think it's the ATT Samsung ROM.

It amazes me that ATT/Samsung/Google could put out a ROM that (at least for me) is so buggy and misses key features. Don't want to get into the host of bugs I've found, just trying to get to camera quickly...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] NovaSlim:
It is the problem with Touchwiz, no matter what custom launcher you run, Lockscreen is still controlled by Touchwiz. Nova(or any other launcher) only replaces the default Touch wiz launchers Touchwiz Home or Easy Launcher, so you are still using Touchwiz with Nova installed, just not the launcher it provides.

This is a Touchwiz problem, having used an HTC One you can access 4 different apps including the Camera from the lock screen as your dock is visible on the lock screen.

If you flash a AOSP rom this problem will most likely go away.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] spocko:
There is an alternative lock screen app called LockerPro in the Play store does what you ask, as well a providing lock screen notifications. I think you may still need to enter your PIN before accessing the camera if the timeout has expired, but its still a shortcut. There is a free version called LockerPro Lite that you can try out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] starmanj:
Sorry you are right, this thread belongs in Q&A.

I tried lockerpro, it doesn't work unless you enter pin as well. Thanks for information, looks like Touchwiz is way behind times-- Iphone has had this for a while, and even before it was on IOS there were Cydia apps that could do this. I'm astonished Android can't do this.

So I guess I have to throw out the AT&T ROM to get rid of Touchwiz?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] shadowfiber:
I have to agree with the OP. I came from an iPhone, and I actually like touchwiz. But not having the ability to use lockscreen widgets with security options is pretty ridiculous.

It should be the users choice to have certain functions available without a password/lock. I understand Samsung attempted to make the device more secure and prevent "uninformed" users from making mistakes; but It should be our choice what we put out there. IMHO.

I not a developer by far, and a long-time lurker of XDA, I wish I had the ability to change Touchwiz to include this.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] nakedninja42:
Lets clear some things up...

First and foremost, Touchwiz is the name of the User Interface that we see. Its not an application, it is not a launcher (Nova) or anything, just the User Interface. With that said, Touchwiz features are the extra gimmicks added to the phone like Air View and whatnot. This is the ROM given by Samsung as stock, it has nothing to do with Android itself. So comparing Apple to Oranges (Samsung) is different than comparing iOS to Android (which you are not doing).

So "being behind on times" has nothing to do with Android itself. If you were to load a AOSP (Android Open Source Project) ROM is it the same? Running AOSP on the phone is a different experience than running Touchwiz. It is closer to the Nexus stock experience than using Samsung stock ROM and is what Google wants as Android. So if you want to compare Android and state that your astonished it doesn't do something, then test it on AOSP based ROM and see if Android could do it.

As it has been confirmed anyways that what you want can be done running an AOSP ROM...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] starmanj:
nakedninja42 you are absolutely correct, thanks. I should say that I'm astonished that Samsung wouldn't offer this on their ROM.

Having said that, and maybe off-topic, my conclusion in moving from Apple to Android is Google allows far too much modification from the manufacturers and carriers to ensure a consistently good experience. Perhaps that's the nature of its open-source approach, but man has it been a massive pain trying to get a quality experience. Bluetooth problems, terrible lag, inconsistent application of UI rules, terrible battery drain-- in exchange for a more open environment (which, yes, is very important to me). Jury is out, I'm still trying to find a good working environment, not giving up yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] alphadog00:
But as the consumer you have the choice on what you buy. If you want something that has X set of features you can buy it (Nexus for example), if you want other features you buy a different phone. This is not unlike buying a car - most cars (these days) have Bluetooth, but the implementations vary greatly.

You bought a phone with Android, and most stores let you compare dozens of models side by side. If Camera on the lock screen is a requirement, it is easy to test drive to find one that supports this.

My phone is rooted and stock - it has no lag and works fantastically well with superior battery life to any smartphone i have owned. Touchwiz is not perfect, but neither is stock android IMO.

Yes, this is off topic, but the point is that if you want only one way to do something, and only one way, then Apple is for you. I recommend iphones to the technically challenged and older people - they can't get lost. The home button is always there and bails them out from any screen. And I can always help them get to settings and menus are 100% consistent. These people don't want widgets and don't want to do any customization, they want simple consistent experience. Android gives choices and that may mean that one phone has a feature that another phone does not. But then there are 3rd party apps that usually step in to fix things.

Widget locker may let you put the camera on the lockscreen - has anyone tried that?
