I know it's crazy. My mom plays freecell on an old pc that I bought in 1999...and it's still on its original hard drive...and still boots an xp install I made in about 2005.

I've never had ram die either. Only power supplies and monitors.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
I had an almost identical issue a while back. I used to always use a Sandisk 32gb class 10 card in my S3 and other devices. I used the same card for 3 or 4 years. When I got my S4 I decided to make the jump to a 64 gb card due to the small internal storage. So I went out and bought a 64 gb Class 10 Sandisk since I have always had good experiences with their cards. First thing I popped it into my computer and re-formatted it to Fat32. Then I plugged it into my phone and it seemed to work fine for a while, then randomly it would unmount itself and remount for no apparent reason. It would do it randomly 3 or 4 times a day. I tried wiping and reformatting to fat32 again, tried exfat, and even NTFS. Failing all that I took it back and exchanged it for another identical one. Same EXACT issue... So I gave it one last shot and exchanged one more time. At this point the ladies at Wal-mart are looking at me sideways like I'm running a scam or something. Lol. Anyways, the third one worked spectatularly. I haven't had one single unmount with it and I have all the storage I could possible need. I keep two Nandroid backups on my memory at all times (and with the S4 they are HUGE, 4gbs or better) and I have like 15 gbs of music, not to mention other miscellaneous files and apks and such, and I still have 30 gbs left.

I say just try it again man. Third times a charm. And I personally would always recommend Sandisk. I have never had one fail me and lost my data or anything. They have always worked for me.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Did you format back to Fat32 on your third try? I am going through the same thing and I am on my second card, waiting for the third to come in the mail. The first one I did Fat32 and out of the blue it would get extremely hot, and then say safe to remove card without me doing anything.

The second one, I left as is, copied everything over and left it exFat. That lasted about a week and then stuff started disappearing in gallery view, BUT it was there in Root explorer. The card it a Sandisk 64 gb Mobile Ultra.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
Yeah mine was the same issue, only I didn't notice any heat to speak of. And yes on the first card I got, I used a windows program called fat32format and formatted it before ever even putting it in my phone. It would intermittently unmount and remount exactly as you are describing. So I took it out, wiped and reformatted to fat32 again. Still did the same thing. So as a last ditch I tried formatting to exfat. My phone and recovery both read the card just fine, it would just unmount randomly, or when I was either listening to music or viewing my gallery (something that required high read speeds) and it would unmount and interrupt it. So, thinkiing that it was just a faulty card I exchanged for a identical new one. Same issue. This time I used a different program to reformat to fat32, I forget the name of it, but it was a command line based reformatting tool for windows. I used it and had that same problem even after several reformats. At this point I was starting to wonder if it was a problem with my phone's SD card slot., So as a last effort I did one more exhange, reformatted using the command line tool and haven't had one single unmount since then, and I have ALOT of stuff on it. I would just suggest keep trying. I think that Galaxy phones are just sensitive to card reading and if you don't have an absolutely perfect one it will have problems. Or who knows, maybe I just had that off chance of one in a million by getting two bad cards in a row. Either way, I would suggest reading this thread (if you haven't already): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1773735

Use the first method on your new card. That I think is the most foolproof formatting method. Good luck, you will find the right card eventually.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Thank you!! Ill give it a shot tomorrow when the new card arrives. I appreciate that thread reference too! Fingers are crossed.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
Yeah no problem. Good luck :)
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] Unicorn512:
There may be a pattern....

But I am not sure exactly what it is.

I have two nearly identical SG4s (1 for + 1 for my wife) and both have the 64GB SanDisk Micro Ultra. One phone is completely stock (my wife's) and the card is lightly used and formatted exFat. Mine is rooted and Roomed (Synergy) with TiBkup and CWM. Like other folks, I had to reformat the card to Fat32 in order to work with CWM.

As far as I can tell, she never sees any un-mount/re-mount messages on her phone but it is lightly used and she might not notice. I DO see occasional un-mount/re-mount messages, but I cannot tie it to a specific program or event. Sometimes happens right after reboot. Sometimes happens when I launch TiBkup. But goes for days with no issues.

I have never lost any data or noticed any performance hits, but now I am worried that I might.

Guess it is time to take more backups of the backups...

I have had lots of computer equipment fail over the years, but never exactly like this...
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] kaos2569:
Well I followed everything nicholi2789 suggested and low and behold my card is actually working good. It does not get hot when reading ( not as hot as the other 2 anyway) and I can see a big time difference in speed. So I guess its true, the third times a charm in the case of these 64 gb Sandisk Ultra cards.

Big thanks again to nicholi2789 for pointing me in the right direction!
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] williamweaver:
I bought a SanDisk Microsdxc class 10 64gb and let the phone format. It's working great. It has the fastest speeds out of all I've seen.

It's a SanDisk Ultra 64 GB MicroSDXC Class 10 UHS-1 Memory Card with Adapter (SDSDQU-064G-AFFP-A)

At Amazon.
[Verizon Samsung Galaxy S 4] nicholi2789:
Glad you figured it out man. I didn't really do anything except to say keep trying. Lol. Good deal though.

[LG Optimus 4X HD] Allex42HD:
hi guys I need p880 file for edify_defs dsixda's kitchen i want to know if i really need that file to run kitchen so i don't know how to build that file :(

for example p990 file:

# LG Optimus 2X

change_mnt=yes

fix_boot=yes

param1=ext3

param2=EMMC

sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p1

cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p2

boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p5

data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p8

sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p9

p999 file:

# LG Optimus G2X

change_mnt=yes

fix_boot=yes

param1=ext3

param2=EMMC

sys_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p1

cache_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p2

boot_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p5

data_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p7

sdcard_mnt=\/dev\/block\/mmcblk0p8

so how to build that file i just copied p990 file and renamed into p880 and changed param1=ext3 to param1=ext4 but i don't know if that solve my problem .
[LG Optimus 4X HD] Adam77Root:
# LG Optimus 4X HD P880

[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Hey,

On stock kernel and firmware.

1) you have to be rooted.

2) install trickster mod from market.

3) install ds battery saver from market.

Procedure :

A) in trickster mod, set you kernel gov. To on demand and even set it on boot.

As after lots of other gov. Use I have found on demand is best matted for our zl. Leave rest unchanged.

B) in ds battery saver, switch on balance profile.

And wola, I am getting stand by time of around 3 - 4 days.

Proof have look at pix below.
[Sony Xperia ZL] einfachgaer:
You know that its "estimated standby time" ? Have you experienced a run time of 3 days with your settings?
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Buddy after using it for 9 days have posted, u can see the 2nd pix where it shows battery percentage and hours utilized.
[Sony Xperia ZL] JRBT24:
What's the screen-on time on the second pic?
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Day 2 .
[Sony Xperia ZL] rio118:
thanks, seems to be working brilliantly so far
[Sony Xperia ZL] papped:
Why use DS battery saver when you can use stamina mode anyways?
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Using stamina mode increases lag in your phone. And even disconnects your net services when phones in standby.

In Ds battery saver, none of this problem exist.
[Sony Xperia ZL] papped:
Ds battery saver forces deep sleep when the screen is off and turns off wifi + 3g when in deep sleep.... That is very similar
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Dude u can set it to wake every hour for a min... And so on....

The big issue is that in stamina mode ur kernel goes to PowerSave gov. Which slows down ur phone unlike in Ds battery u won't face the lag,

Anyways it's ur choice.
[Sony Xperia ZL] dj_richard05:
I have applied your method on my phone. Will give u results in a couple of days usage. Thanks
[Sony Xperia ZL] asrail:
Actually, it is not true. I am using stamina mode and my governors are as follow:

root@android:/sys/devices/system/cpu # cat cpu0/cpufreq/scaling_governor

ondemand

root@android:/sys/devices/system/cpu # cat cpu1/cpufreq/scaling_governor

interactive

root@android:/sys/devices/system/cpu # cat cpu2/cpufreq/scaling_governor

interactive

root@android:/sys/devices/system/cpu # cat cpu3/cpufreq/scaling_governor

interactive

The default settings for the ondemand governor for a multi processor setup is a big waste of battery if you set it for every processor.

They are set up to distribute most of the tasks for the cpu0 and use the least possible resources of every other CPU. Using ondemand for the other CPUs will increase the ammount of time they are turned on, wasting more battery.

cpu1, cpu2 and cpu3 are using the interactive governor, which is set up to ramp up fastly to 1026MHz, then ramping up or down slowly.

cpu0 is set up to ramp up only with 95% of processor usage, but for a multi core setup this value goes down to 80%. The logic is that when you are using more than one processor, you want the current task to end up earlier, than it is actually good to use a higher frequency. Also it means you will be happier with the high frequencies, since you will experience less lags or major slowdowns. Also, if any of the other CPUs usage goes up to 80%, the ondemand ones (in the default setup, only cpu0) will switch to a higher frequency also.

If you are going to tweak this configuration, I would recommend you to take mpdecision and the governor configuration into account. For instance, the default setup for the interactive governor on the device kernel is not suitable for the cpu0, for instance. It is optimized for heavy loads and you would get a lot more of usage around 1026MHz than you would want anyway. Either wasting battery when it should be using 384MHz or taking longer to achieve high frequencies, causing lags on the ordinary usage and some slowdowns.
[Sony Xperia ZL] VictorexX:
work?

this work ? :confused:
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
It works, basically this method improves your standby.
[Sony Xperia ZL] Marc Fox:
When you says "in trickster mod, set you kernel gov. To on demand" you mean go to General > CPU Governor Control?
[Sony Xperia ZL] buntybauva:
Yes... There select on demand... And save it...

I Had just rooted my GTAB2 and it'd been two days. And suddenly the news came out that Official JB 4.2.2 has been released for the GT-P3100

So i Opted for unrooting and getting back my Official status but it didnt work:(

But then i found this trick

1.Install Triangle away

2.Have a cf-autorooted tab (GT-P3100)(may work on other models)

3.First Reset the flash counter using Traingle Away.

4.Enable the tracker option and reboot.

5.Then boot into Stockrecovery. (CWM Recovery or any other recovery won't do the trick. U can reinstall it after the OTA.)

6.Wipe Data/Factory reset.

7.Wipe Cache.

8.Wipe Dalvik Cache.

9.Reboot.

10.Voila!!! You have a device with Official Status with ROOT and Can recieve OTA.

May or May NOT WORK, but it did work for me:)

PLEASE NOTE THIS IS ONLY APPLICABLE IF YOU ARE NOT USING A CUSTOM ROM AND USING THE OFFICIAL STOCK WITH JUST ROOT.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
accepting the ota update will most likely unroot the device. the new firmware will also probably be patched so unless you are sure that a root exploit exists for the new firmware, than perhaps it is best to wait for the odin flashable version from sammobile and use mobile odin pro to flash. mobile odin pro has an option called everoot which will root the rom. this is probably easier to do than trying to root a new firmware with a patched kernel.
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] openmatrix:
Also if we can't use any custom recovery .

, then what's the need to root the device?
[Galaxy Tab 2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashraf sharif:
no one is saying that you cannot use custom recovery. you can use whatever you please custom kernel ,recovery,rom, whatever you choose is your choice.My point is that not everyone root6s thier phone so they can flash a custom rom. In my case I use official roms all the time. official kernel all the time. official recovery all the time. my phone has official status aLL THE TIME.

so why root?

if not to flash aosp roms and cwm or twrp orthe multitude of mods and roms? yes Ive been there and done that. ive overclocked and undervolted and ran aokp miui pa u name it. I have never found a rom that was 100 percent working and compatible for any phone ever. in fact most of the time i came across major bugs that made most roms unusable as a daily driver. stability is hard to find in aosp land . the manufacturers do not release sources. so cameras and fingerprint scanners and mhl and other features either are barely functional or sometimes will never work.

I ROOT BECAUSE I CAN CUSTOMIZE THE STOCK FIRMWARE THAT I USE. without root i cant use greenify ton hibernate my apps. without root i cant freeze apps in sd maid or tibu or rom toolbox pro. Root allows me to change my bootanimations . byn 8using root explorer. root allows me to edit my build prop. root allows me to zipalign my apps. and debloat them. root improves my user experience . it allows me to enjoy the stability and long battery life and full functionality if stock roms without having to use a stripped gown vanilla android rom. been there and was not impressed. but to each his own.

[Android General] Geodude074:
These are exciting times, gentlemen. Never before has the mobile SoC world been so competitive. All four of these SoCs are expected to be released in tablets by the end of this fall, or at least by the holidays (with exclusion of the Tegra 4, which already made its debut). My main question is, which SoC are you betting on and why?

My bet is on Baytrail, since their new OoO processing and quad-core setup pretty much quadroupled performance from Clovertrail. Plus, if the GPU is anywhere near the HD 4000, it will crush anything that ARM has to offer.

Here's hoping that Baytrail comes to Android. :good:

Chaps/Ladies (do we have any?!),

I've been using TT5 for a couple of weeks now, and have a strange problem! Every now and then, randomly, TT5 will just exit whilst navigating. I drove 170 miles yesterday and it closed itself four times, the phone was off on three of the four occasions, as was wifi and BT.

I've also had it freeze once or twice. The display just stops updating, though I can still tap the screen and exit cleanly. This used to happen more frequently with TT3.

I've only run TT5 on the new 1.40 ROM.

Anyone else suffering?

TIA

Well that shows how much I know about TomTom 5 :D . It is definitely possible to generate driving instructions without a GPS device attached 8) .

Go into the "Advanced Planning" option and simply pick your start and end points. You will then have a route that you can display as text, images etc, or even "demo" the route i.e. simulate it at speeds from 10% to 500% of "real time"

I have an XDA IIs with TT3, after i first installed it noticed it would crash randomly, which became really really annoying. After messing around with settings and 3rd-party software, i got nowhere. So I removed the **** O2 software that comes with the IIs, low and behold no more crashing.

Is this also the case for TT5, I would like to know before upgrading?

Don't really want to have to turn off the POI's to make it work.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] daern:
This is all pretty interesting. I'm running a 1.40 O2 ROM and TomTom is not-as-stable-as-it-could-be. I'm going to do some more qualitative analysis to try and work out which of the crappy O2 software is the culprit - or if it's TomTom itself.

We've got quite a few XDAIIs here and both of the ones with TomTom are flakey. More details to follow...

[edit] Should have said - this is TomTom Navigator 5, with both bluetooth and wired GPS receivers.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] crocodile:
AFAIK, the O2 Active software produces a memory leak. There are suggestions that TTN5 also produces a memory leak on 640x480 VGA devices. Perhaps the two are interacting? (Yes I know the XDA2s isn't VGA). Try monitoring available RAM while TTN5 is running. If it constantly reduces it will reach a point where the s/w crashes.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Jeff:
Where are we?

@ all:

Anyone know a solution to this problem? Apparently we need to use the POI.dat file from earlier installations, i.e. 4 or 3 and it will only crash 1% of the time. Until there is a patch for this we will have to settle for this solution it seems.

BTW, does anyone happen to have the POI.dat file for the Benelux map, version 3 or 4? I seem to have "misplaced" my cd with the map on it, anyone can help a brutha out? PM me?
