SD card issue

Hi, issues found in previouse versions are gone.

new issues:

1. SD card 64gb SDXC1 is not possible to mount.

2. Google Play Services incompatible - affected apps: Google +, Hangouts
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] coilfan:
First of all Great ROM!, and of course thanks for all the good work. :good:

Just one issue: Titanium Backup cannot backup to extSdCard. Error message: Insufficient disk space, but there seems to be a writing issue. In the mean time I can backup to the internal sdcard. This wasn't the case with the previous version.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] kabalix:
I can't delete files from extSdCard too (9505). Everything else i tested was working fine :good:
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] InstigatorX:
Same here.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
I'll look into the Play services later.

Format your sdcard as FAT32 not exFAT. Unfortunately, exFAT is a propriety Microsoft module that Samsung included and faux's kernel can't load it. FAT32 should be preferred anyway. It's compatible with more OSs and the only real difference is the file size limitation of 4GB.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] Briz0wn:
Well thats not solution for 64gb cards

Pomohl jsem? Podekuj!
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
Sure it is.

Use this to format: http://www.ridgecrop.demon.co.uk/index.htm?guiformat.htm

[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] InstigatorX:
One thing I would suggest/request is that you leave Google+ installed as a system app. Locations doesn't work correctly when the app isn't a system app. See this link for more info...

http://www.pocketables.com/2013/07/root-user-fix-for-google-locations-blank-tilesmissing-maps.html

I've confirmed that this fixes it for me (but not with your latest build because the Google Play Services error). :p

This didn't work with my 32GB class10 card. Tried it with reformatting it from Windows8/FAT32, and with wiping option on the phone (settings/storage/erase sd card)

Are you able to write to your sd card with TB / Solid explorer? I have tried this tool to format the card but still unable to write to it.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
You can't write to it at all or certain apps can't write to it?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NuKeM4n:
Can't write with those apps.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
It may be the apps are incompatible with 4.3. I know Titanium was incompatible. It was updated recently to make it compatible with 4.3.
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:
OP updated with new build.

Play services fixed.

Google+ added. Will those who had problems with G+ Locations, check if it works?
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] NuKeM4n:
Yeah it's starting to look like a app issue.

No problems to report here, was previously on GE 4.2.2 and I would say the battery is the same.

4.3 is so snappy compared to previous versions.

Keep up the good work.

Hi all,

Just noticed that YouTube shows an error when trying to play a clip. "video not supported". Has anyone else had this error? I'm still using the previous build tho. Not sure if its related to the play services issue.

I've reinstalled it, cleared cache etc

Thanks a lot
[Galaxy S 4 i9505 Android Development] yeahmann:

Updated.

Updated to Play Store 4.3.11

Updated to SuperSU 1.60

Removed Google+. Locations seems to work as a user app now.

Added reboot menu

Let me know if the Google+ location bug is still there.

I added a reboot menu even though it departs from stock because really there was no reason not to include it. It's only a few dozen lines of code and very useful.

[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vondiesel:
Hi all-

As you all probably know Li-ion batteries do lose some capacity over time. And the more charge/discharge cycles they go through, the more they lose. However, this loss of battery health or longevity can be lessened by reducing the number of full charge/discharge cycles, by not charging all the way up, and also by not maintaining the battery at full charge for long periods of time.

For example, my Lenovo laptop has some smart charging software that only charges the battery to 60%. As I am normally using the laptop with the AC adapter, this helps preserve the battery, as keeping it up at 100% isn't the best thing for overall longevity. But if I know that I will be away from AC power for a while, I can switch the mode and it will charge all the way up to give me full capacity.

My question is this: does any such software exist for Andriod? I've looked around but not found anything. I am a fairly light user, and most of the time I am near AC power, so I wouldn't mind having my phone battery only charge to 60% percent or so. Ideally the software would have dual modes like on my laptop, one for preserving battery lifespan, and one to give full capacity on the days that I need it.

Any suggestions? Or does this not exist? Or are there hardware limitations of which I am not aware?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
Phones tend to have longer battery life then laptops so as long as you have apps like DS battery saver, Greenify and Carat among other apps you will be able to get the most out of your phone.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vondiesel:
I think you misundetstood my question. I'm not asking about battery life (i.e. how much talk time or screen on time per single charge). I'm asking about battery health or life SPAN (i.e. I get 4 hours of screen on time now, but what about a year from now? Will I only get 2 hours because the battery health has declined due to over 300 charge/discharge cycles?).

All batteries lose capacity over time. Is there software that helps prevent this by limiting charge?
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] jmxc23:
No there isn't. I don't see the point of having that kind of software on a phone as by the time that happens you will be eligible for an upgrade.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] ericsdeadinside:
We had what you're talking about for the gnex. Called battery life extender. I don't know if this is available on the sg3 kernel wise.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S III] vondiesel:
Thanks for the replies!

Battery technology may be good enough at this point to have good health until the next upgrade, so you make a good point. Personally, I don't care about the latest and greatest (and I'm a broke student) so I only upgrade when I absolutely have to. I'd probably still have my Droid X if it hadn't died. :)

And thanks for the Gnex info. I've heard they are notorious for poor battery performance. Seems like there's nothing for the GS3, but it's good to know that it is a possibility on at least some phones and that the devs have worked on it.

Gaston's option 1 would be my choice given most of these problems can be fixed eventually/assuming everything is known about exactly what/when/by whom was done to the phone.

Based on the info you've given us, you've been told how to fix it. Doesn't work first go (or even the twentieth go) ? Keep trying.
