[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
I have a SanDisk 32GB microSD card. I originally had one at launch but after a few months, I had a terrible case of Media Server constantly running in the background sucking up all of my battery. I got the card replaced by SanDisk as per a lot of discussions on the forum.

Its bee fine with this new card for over 5 months. Now, out of nowhere, I'm noticing that my Galaxy is EATING my data. Slowly over time more pictures and music files on my SD card are being wiped out. The files stay on the card, but read as 0 bytes and I can't open them.

Last week I lost an entire folder of pictures. No big deal, thats backed up.

This week I noticed half my music library is now a bunch of 0 byte files. What on earth?

I'm going to go home and copy my backup over SD card after reformatting and will report back. But what gives? What is this nonsense and why would it be doing this? I haven't dropped my phone or installed any crazy stuff on it as of late either.

EDIT:

I'm on stock ROM with AutoChainFire root. 4.1.2
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] xxxSuperserieSxxx:
What rom you are running? What format you have in your sd card, ie exFAT, FAT32 or NTFS? Highly recommend to format you sd card to FAT32.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
4.1.2 - stock with autochainfire root

FAT32
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] gregsarg:
The card may be damaged or corrupted..

Not uncommon for SanDisk...

Try a clean format to FAT32 and test again...

If the same conditions exist...a replacement may be in order...g
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] OmegaNemesis28:
How should I properly clean format?

Because I tried to format straight from the phone. But after 3 tries, it wasn't actually formatting the damn card even though it said it was. I removed the card and connected it to a hub on a PC to do it through Windows.

I know that it technically shouldn't matter. A format is a format. But is there any reason why I ~should~ do it through the phone at all? Or why it would even act funky like that?

I think I need to do a clean install on my phone too. Just to be sure.

Hello folks,

I created that thread so we can show-off the stupiest things we ever did (or heard of), including a short story/description.

Please do not describe any sexual/cruel content. Or at least do as if you dont and if you Mods find some please notify author first and do not just delete the thread.

To show how I mean that, I will just give my STE (Stupiest Thing Ever):

I was in my Room watching a delicate movie (on phone) and did not notice a heavy mistake:

My nice parents had come home from work and send me out of the Living Room to relax there. My phone was unfortunately still connected to the Bluetooth speakers in there.

They suddenly noticed strange, noises and I did (of course) not. So (the fastest thinker of all) I turned the Volume to highest Level. Just a few seconds later I finally heard something, but (...) probably the whole town did, too.

Luckily I could save myself by telling that it was a joke.

I hope we can have fun here!

HAVE FUN!

[Off-topic] keenofhiphop:
some wise words here?

From my point of view, stupidity is close related to clumsiness. Whilst when you are clumsy, you learn from that mistake and do not repeat it, the average stupid guy keeps on repeating his mistake. This is the practical stupidity.

In intellectual things it is more related to lazyness... but while the lazy one doesnt want to learn smth (or switch BT off) the stupid just has not the mental requirements to do it.

The effect in all is the same: something bad/funny but unexpected happens.

The typical reaction: "How stupid am I?"

But if we start to seperate here we will have a highly intellectual and challenging debate on principles.

So it is allowed to post about happenings caused by clumsyness or lazyness

Not sure what to do from here...any idea?

I'm restoring my Verizon Galaxy S4 running Hyperdrive 4.2.2

Thanks guys and gals
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
I think I had a similar issue when I had a corrupt download. I just started a fresh download and did not interrupt the process (pause or wifi disconnect) until the download had fully completed. Afterwards I had no issues.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] BraddahBoi808:
It was most likely a bad download. Downloading the file from your computer rather than your phone is always a better option. Also, I don't know if you know it but you cannot restore to MDK from ME7. Just thought I'd throw that out there just in case
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Checkm8:
I agree though that downloading through your computer rather than your phone is a better option. Hyperdrive 4.2.2 is MDK so I do not believe that would be the hurdle to overcome here unless you are on a different rom than the one OP mentioned.

I recently got Google all access music and have kept the music onto my phone but I have a dilemma. I can't seem to find where the music is located on the actual device. Also, is there a way to just download my music from all access on the computer? This was one of the main reasons why I got all access because I read that others are able to transfer their requested music to iTunes. Thanks
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
Update ---- After searching extensively on google;) I found a website called songspout.com that allows you to download your Google access music in 320 kbs onto your computer and do as you will with it. I don't know if this just makes the job downloading from Google access easier or what but I do know that I tried it and it does work. I was able to download 5 Google access songs before I was prompted to pay $9.99 per year for unlimited. Any thoughts on this as well?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mephistonian:
I am under the impression that, similar to rhapsody, all access saves the music in a way that is not accessible by other media players. I ended up switching to rhapsody due to a very bad experience with all access.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
Aww dude. Lol I feel like a sales person but you can now download all your music basically to iTunes or wherever you want with that program legally and easily. As long as you have all access you have unlimited downloads to a place of your choice.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] islandjat:
With this you are able to download tracks in a completely accessible way.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II] Mephistonian:
If it works for you, go for it! I was having some seriously atrocious streaming speeds through all access. I also had an issue with battery drain while listening to music. Rhapsody had none of these issues. I think that, because all access is such a new feature, it needs time to grow and debug just like any piece of software.

After applying my vans breaks a little abruptly my xda2 hit the deck and now is kaput. Here are the symptoms.

Radio started to fail and would not pick up service, then

Rom crashed and would not reboot.

Occassionally it reboots as far as the today page, memory is wiped and Activesync has trouble detecting device. Sometimes can log on as guest before the whole thing crashes again.

I am hoping the solution is to reflash the rom from hard reset, but unsure how to do that.

Further difficulty: It is a German xda2 with a Tmobile 1[1].60 WWE rom I flashed myself. I know for a fact O2 Australia will make me send it back to Germany because they aren't really that helpful. They will say they don't have the foriegn software. Aren't all himalaya machines the same regardless of origin?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jfm91:
Hi.

I am planning to buy a Note 8 or a Galaxy Tab3 8.

But can't decide which one.

Which one preforms best? Which one will have best development support?

What about the size? Is the note 8 too big for one hand?

Which one would you recommend?

Thanks :)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] HiddenSanctum:
Both are technically too big for one hand but I find the one with the larger bezel easier to hold since you can rest your thumb on it.

Also obviously the note 8 performs better (quad vs dual, 1.5GB vs 2GB of RAM), but unless you are hardcore you probably won't notice real life performance differencs

Development is too early to tell.

My view is that the price difference just doesn't justify getting the Tab 3 (You can get the Note 8 for only $25 - 50 more if you really look)

Also if you haven't already this is a good video to watch (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gGtcwfxCRN8)
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Majin101:
All these comparison threads!! Ur gonna be finding different opinions, it always comes down to personal preference. Search for reviews and check it out. Decide what's best for you. There's plenty of threads/videos that can already help you make a decision. Not trying to be mean or anything, just letting you know.. So anyway, Yes I do love my note 8.0 its a perfect size. I love it because I bought it, hated stock, rooted it, installed civs reflex ROM, I feel complete.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] kable:
The Note 8.0 wins hands down.

More memory, More internal Sdcard space, Better CPU and a Stylus to impress your friends.

It fits fine in one Hand for me when I need to but I normally use it in landscape mode.

It even fits fine in the front pocket of my work pants. Docker type.

Unless you are strapped for cash spend the extra 50+ bucks and get the Note 8.0.

I have seen it online for as low as 349.00
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
The note's the better device, but I think that the Tab will get more dev time because of the price differential.

I have a Nex 7 now, and the pace of development is breathtaking - two kernels and a modular ROM in 24 hours. I think some of that is due to folks liking pure Android, and a lot of it is down to price.

But I also think that if folks compare the N7 and the tab 8 side by side, they may prefer the color balance of the tab 8. I think Samsung and Best Buy may have made a mistake in placing the Samsung devices away from the others - makes side by side comparison much more of a challenge.

I like the resolution of the N7, sure, but text is gray, not black and the color doesn't seem nearly as accurate overall.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] youngchul90:
can you upload screenshots of your rooted Note 8?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] lemoon:

Looking for a decent mid-range Android tablet? Well, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch would be a good choice. It is light, portable, and capable enough to be used for not only web surfing and writing emails, but also for watching HD movies and even playing some Real Racing 3 every once in a while. The device doesn't have any flaws that would make it a deal breaker, so if it fits your budget, go ahead and grab one!

But the Samsung Galaxy Note 8.0 is faster than the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8-inch and offers the S Pen digital stylus for drawing and handwriting input. Anyway, I like my galaxy tab and I sometimes take some good tips from aneesoft tablets column.

So it depends u. :p

[Google Chromecast] spike1013:
hi, not sure if anyone has tried setting up chromecast using DLink router DIR 605L. I downloaded chrome cast setup app for windows 7, but it couldn't set it up successfully. I then tried doing a manual setup using browser via iphone and was able to add chromecast to wireless network. On the screen it shows that it is connected to the wireless network. However other devices are unable to find it. Youtube on iPhone cannot find it either. Nor does their setup app on Windows. Will try android device later today.

From what I can tell my router is only supports 2.4GHz so its not that. There probably is some router setting that is preventing it from working? Anyone has any ideas?

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] irro94:
why any rom built for NovaThor cpu has an exaggerated consumption of ram compared to other phones with different cpu?

my PA1.6 in Xperia Sola (380Mb Ram in phone info) -no background process-

WHY?!

[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] irro94:
I have read that our GPU is Single Core and also Downclocked!

Really disappointed ...
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] MagicMagicD:
The GPU will definitely use some of the phone's RAM but as I understand it, the 380MB you're seeing is with that RAM already allocated, i.e. the phone actually has 512MB of RAM but is showing less as the GPU has ~128MB allocated to it.
[Sony Xperia P, U, Sola, Go] Pandemic:
why to compare like Xperia P to a Neo V with ram hungry etc? the 1st thing is neo v have a single core and anothor chip and an XP have a dualcore with also another chip like novathor. so sorry but this is not a usefull thread, just my meaning ;)
