[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sippi4x4man:
I've been having some strange things happening with my micro sd card lately. After flashing a CM9 glitch rom, I noticed that when I plug my phone into my pc with a usb cord, it shows two drives instead of just one. This has never happened to me before. I have also been having problems copying files from my pc to my phone and when I disconnect the cable the files are gone from the phone. I copied 2,000+ pics from my work pc to my phone and verified they copied correctly. When I got home all of the pics were gone as well as some ROMS I had just downloaded. I formatted my card with windows xp and then I did a 1 pass secure erase with CCleaner. When that was done, I erased the card from the phone itself. After the card was erased, my Titanium Backup folder was still there with all of my backups. Anyone else experienced these issues?

My card is a Samsung 16GB Class 4 HC and is a few years old
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhp_211:
I know regular eraser programs like ccleaner, etc don't work properly on sd cards, (they only kind of move files around so they are not seen) look up sdformatter v4 and use that.

What ROM are you on right now
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sippi4x4man:
Right now I am using unofficial CM9 with glitch kernel
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hhp_211:
One other thing i can think of would be that the scanner would take a really long to re scan all those pics (like maybe 20 minutes or more from what I've read)
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sippi4x4man:
I tried taking a picture a minute ago and it said please insert an sd card to take a photo. The sd card was still in the phone. The only other thing I can think of is that maybe the phone isn't unmounting the card from the pc aproperly. I had my sd card open on the pc and could see all of my files and when I hit turn off usb storage I didn't see any other messages in the status bar and the files were not there

[MENTION=2602733]Sippi4x4man[/MENTION]

I know it sucks but you might need to try saving everything off the sd card again, formatting with sdformatter from your pc,, while still blank install, reboot, wait for ROM to settle in, take picture. Then if all goes well, connect up to the pc (i assume you use mass storage) then put files back on, disconnect from pc,,, reboot and wait the 20+ minutes for 2000+ pics to be scanned by the media scanner process. Hopefully that works :o
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sippi4x4man:
It is formatting now. We will see how it goes. Thanks!

Update: I ran sdformatter and did the overwrite and then format. When I turned usb storage off the ROM said my sd card was damaged. I used odin to go back to stock 2.3.6 and when I was done it was still saying sdcard damaged. I formatted the card from the phone itself and then flashed AOKP Milestone 5 Glitch and all seems to be working just fine. Thank you for your help.

[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] peteypete43:
Hi,

I have a question and I am hoping you can help me solve it. I purchased a Galaxy S Blaze 4G for my wife. I downloaded the "hide it pro" app from the google store for this phone. Before all this, I have performed a factory reset. I have an 8GB microSD card installed in the device as well. I have never had a problem with installing the app, transferring of personal files which are mostly videos, until this phone. I used to have a Mytouch and had no problems, and I now have an HTC ONE which I definitely dont have any problems. So I'm thinking it may be the phone. (Galaxy S Blaze) With multiple attempts, I have downloaded the app, have gone into the settings and tried even to move the app to the SD card, after I tried transferring less than 2GB worth of files to the app which was about 20/24 files, I would try to go back into the gallery and the phone indicates that "not enough memory, please delete some items." Again, I have never had a problem with this. Can you please help? It seems as though it is saving it to the actual device, instead of the memory card where it originally was to be transfered from to the actual App. Before I started doing anything, the "System storage was 83.25/1.12GB, USB storage was 0.0/1.40GB, and SD card showed 222MB/7.39GB. After installing the app and trying to transfer the files, i went back into the Task Manager/Storage and it now showed that the USB storage was maxed out at 1.40/1.40GB and SD card showed 222/7.39GB still. What do I have to do? The app also worked fine on her old Galaxy SII before she broke the screen. Thats the only reason I purchased this for her. She loves Samsung products, just couldnt afford the S4. Can you gimme some hints on how to resolve?

Sincerely,

Peteypete43
[Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G] anactoraaron:
Which os are you running? If you are on stock ICS your SD card is located at /sdcard/external_sd. If you are on cm10 or 10.2 the 8gb card is located at /external_sd or /storage/sdcard1

Hi [MENTION=4194834]garwynn[/MENTION] and [MENTION=744737]JoshBeach[/MENTION]

Can You help me please?

I extracted already a Pit file from Note 3 N9005 but PIT Magic give me errors, because the command I use is only to 16 GB.

See HERE my problem. I need new parameters bs, count and skip for 32 GB on this cmd:

On Terminal Emulator --> su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/out.pit bs=8 count=481 skip=2176'

Thank You
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] garwynn:
Heimdall will pull it w/o need for dd if you can go that way.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note 3] ValenteL:
I unknown Heimdall. But now I have the good command to Terminal Emulator for 32 Gb:

su -c 'dd if=/dev/block/mmcblk0 of=/sdcard/My-N9005.pit bs=1 skip=17408 count=4244'

Made on N9005, analyzed by PIT Magic is alright. See this THREAD.

PS: This cmd dd is only to devices from 32 GB.

Thank You

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Gbrand:
There is something I would tell to Forum :

Recently my screen broke , after a research I found www.pdasmart.com had the spare part for my Qtek .

At http://www.pdasmart.com/pdaphonexda2s.htm they advertise the part will fit for XDA IIs / Sx66 / pda2k / MDA III / 9090 / PPC-6600 pda/phone.

So I assumed this was the right part for me and ordered it .

After recedived it on 13 October I realized that the new screen was not working on my Qtek .

Everything else was working , lights , programs through SOTI but not the screen .

I wrote them a Mail asking for assistance , NO ANSWER to date .

I posted here at xda-developers.com and after some work found out what u can read at :

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelLCD

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BlueangelBoardIDs

Now, I applied today at PDASMART for an RMA of the LCD , I'm not sure they will answer .

In conclusion ,

Whatch out for BA LCD replacement and make sure it's the right part for your Board

whatch out for PDASMART.COM who sells too easily parts without knowing exactly what they are for !
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] joey jojo:
not sure if it was my link, but i linked to that site a while back, :oops: i never got the chance to order one from the site, i prob wont now, but hey man, im sorry if its my fault. :oops: :cry:

[EDIT] i just had a look at the site, if you cant get intouch with them by email, why not try giving them a call???, i know america is a little pricey to call, but so is like 60 quid for a screen that wont work, its worth a go!!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Gbrand:
I don't think u have to feel guilty for posting the address , but PDASMART should for shipping Sony LCD without knowing that Qtek can have 2 different boards and 2 differend LCDs .

the fact is that often a broken screen means 300 € repair and weeks of time repairing for an object u can find at 500 € on the web , that's really too much !

It seems that HTC is not very good in after sales , other brands like Palm or Ipaq are like open books for users , HTC devices seems to come from an other misterious planet , That's why this Forum exists and is so popular .

I just was unlucky , without knowing I had a possibility out of two and I picked up the wrong one !

But I am still waiting for an answer from PDASMART , I will not phone them , I think I have the right to be contacted by them after buying 225 USD + shipping for an LCD that does not work on my QTEK !

Still waiting , I will be patient for a while then I'll see what to do .

Anyway thanks for the answer !

PDASMART Horror Story

PDASMART shouldn't be trusted.

They held my PDA for over 2 months - never contacted me and never shipped it back when they determined that they couldn't fix it - even though I paid for shipping already!

Use someone else.
[Java for Android App Development] NerdsWBNerds:
So currently, I have an app that launches an intent which vibrates and sends a notification using the Android AlarmManager.

I have this working correctly, the intent is launched at the correct time and sets up the next intent to launch at the time it needs to.

My only question.

How can I make it vibrate and send a notification at a specified time without having to open a new intent? Currently my app opens up from the background when it vibrates and I don't want it to do that. I want it to vibrate, send a notification, and stay in the background.

Thanks for any help you can offer.
[Java for Android App Development] pnikosis:

[Java for Android App Development] SimplicityApks:
Do you have a background service running? From what I understand, you need to have this service to then send the notifications from it at the specified time. I have not yet used one, but you can read through the documentation on this.

I accidentally wiped 4.2.2 apks contacts/dialer (non Samsung) for JB AOKP. Anybody willing to share these will be appreciated by me. And probably The King of Spain as welll;))
[Galaxy S III Mini Themes and Apps] AssToast:
Just reflash the zip without wiping anything, the easiest way, wont lose anything, might have to reflash gapps but also you have nothing to lose

OR go into the zip /system/app, should be one of those starting with contacts then just copy it to system/app then change permissions to rw-r--r--

[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tgearman:
I use the digital audio out from the mini usb to my Fiio Andes DAC. After taking OTA, Spotify freezes when adjusting volume and my handset become completely unresponsive, necessitating a hard reboot. Sadness ensues.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] gk1984:
I didn't think it supported USB audio out to begin with. Wouldn't work on my stereo when I first bought the phone
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] buymytoasters:
tgearman, I didn't even know these devices worked with any USB audio out. This is pretty damn cool.

Have you played around in AOSP based ROMs? Does this capability work in any of those? What does your setup look like? You've got me super curious.
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tgearman:
I've got the Sprint hTC One and picked up the OTG cable on Amazon for about $8 USD. The cable is usb mini (male) which connects to the handset. My phone recognized it immediately and routed the audio out. The other end of the OTG is usb standard (female) which connects to my Fiio cable. Shure se535's on the business end = Bam!

Gonna have to try that. Didn't know you needed USB otg. I tried with USB micro to regular USB - same as pc connect
[Sprint HTC One (M7)] tgearman:
I'm thinking they jump a couple of pins and that's how the handset recognizes the OTG and switches to audio-out on that port. It's pretty slick - give it a try. I put a review on the cable on Amazon. Reviewed under tgearman - search on that and you'll find the right one.

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] acejavelin:
My son's Incredible 2 won't charge, plug it in and getting flashing orange light for about 15-20 seconds then nothing... tried a different battery and 3 chargers and same result so am planning on filing a post-warranty defect claim with Verizon (it's under Total Mobile Protection plan).

Anybody do this recently? So they have any Incredible 2's or are they replacing it with something else as a "standard" replacement?

Thanks!

EDIT: FYI... they do not have Incredible 2's anymore, but they are replacing it with HTC Droid DNA, my son should have his replacement Monday or Tuesday.

There are no posts in here about it, so am I the only one with issues? Signal loses lock about every 5 seconds, and bounces me all over the place in Google maps, and Navigon. I'm completely stock. I downloaded a gps app, and it's locking on to 12 or so satellites.

i just use the one installed and it works fine. GPS works great as I use it for my cycling apps...spot on

(sorry for bad english )my gps having fixing problem also but its irratic ...may time its dosent locate any available settalite and many times its available but cant fix it....and its happens all theway and tried many gps fix softwares.......is it my antinna problem or hardware problem? i dont see any gps hardware problems issue on foums yet....so i am so confused where is the exact problem?

[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] Neo3D:
Same here. I also tried bending the "leaf contacts" on the phone so the antenna makes a good connection.

My phone can see 25 satellites but it can't get a GPS lock, any ideas?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy Note 3] bladebarrier:
I have had serious problems with GPS on custom ROM's (among other issues). They would show the satellites, but it worked like garbage.

I did a full wipe, and ODIN'd to stock, and it's been great ever since then.

Have you tried making a nandroid, and doing a factory reset and full wipe, to see if it works well after? That should allow you to rule out if it's hardware related or software.

My proximity sensor stopped working a couple weeks ago. The phone screen would stay off always during phone calls.

[Droid Ultra General] dr_acula:
Sorry for the noob questions but how does this effect the bootloader? Will it completely unlock the device for recovery/kernels/ROMs? TIA.
[Droid Ultra General] rowland007:
This won't effect the bootloader but could be used for kernels and ROMs on the developer editions where the bootloader is unlocked.
[Droid Ultra General] Jermehh:
Does that mean there's no hope still for locked devices? I got my Maxx and am now questioning if I should return it for a device that can be unlocked. I really love everything else about this phone though.

From what I have read around the forums, if you are looking for unlocked then this phone line isn't the way to go.

is this phone is locked to verizon only? how about the gsm? it's locked too?
[Droid Ultra General] integraletotale:
The phone can be used globaly. That includes GSM networks.
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
Out of curiosity, is there any development going on with the Droid Maxx developer edition right now? I realize that some of the Moto X stuff works OK, but until someone figures out how to get the capacitive buttons working we're not going to see any ROMs. I'm willing to shell out the extra money for the Maxx Developer Edition if it meant I wouldn't be forced to wait for Verizon to approve firmware updates, but right now it's not looking promising that anyone is going to bother with Droid Maxx DE ROMs. Unless, of course, someone figures out how to unlock the bootloader on the non-developer version.
[Droid Ultra General] integraletotale:
I haven't seen any activity in the known channels but then again it may be too early to expect anything.

On another note, it would be nice if you could port the Google Edition ROM over to the non Google Edition phones, without having to unlock the bootloader, maybe?
[Droid Ultra General] sfreemanoh:
Yeah, I'm surprised at the complete lack of development on this phone. I realize that developer edition devices won't have communities nearly as large as other devices, but I expected at least SOME basic AOSP ROM's.
[Droid Ultra General] radzer0:
Wouldnt this being a offical source thats made for our phones atleast allow us to put 4.3 into our phones? Id guess it runs the stock kernel which is signed.
[Droid Ultra General] reggie14:
Yeah, I particularly expected some basic ROMs too, since the Maxx will essentially run Moto X ROMs (apparently someone just needs to figure out how to get those ROMs to use the Maxx's capacative buttons). But, there's not a ton going on with the Moto X, either. I'm guessing that's mostly because the Moto X is already mostly a stock ROM. You could build your own AOSP ROM, I suppose, but then you'd lose some of the major features of the Moto X and Droid lines. They're working on CM 10.2, though.
[Droid Ultra General] rowland007:
I'd be happy with an AOSP ROM with touchless controls and active notifications
[Droid Ultra General] bigv5150:
I have to say since SS came out and we have exposed as well as modules like gravity box etc I don't see a huge need for ROMs. This phones is almost stock android as it is. I would be happy with a deodexed system so it would be easy to install inverted apps and such. I think that is all this phone needs. Other than a ROM that looks or acts completely different from stock what would be the benefit. Without an unlocked boot loader I have always noticed kexec Roms to run glitchy. I don't want a glichy phone when I can do what most Roms do using exposed etc. I think the time would be better spent on creating themes that could be flashed to the stock system. This is just my opinion based on using the maxx for the last 2months.
