[Xperia Z1 General] One Twelve:
Corruption isn't an issue, you could format a 1TB drive with fat32 if you wanted. You could do this with 3rd party tools for a long time. My other card got corrupted not due to fs but card issues.

The issue is space efficiency, as drive sizes get larger FAT32 forces larger cluster sizes, this can lead to space wastage if there are many small files. FAT32 is inefficient use of space for an OS with larger drives. And 32GB was an arbitrary limit chosen by M$. But the sd card isn't used as an OS drive, its being used as a data drive. my 64GB card is formatted with 32k cluster sizes, whereas with NTFS it would be 4k. So if you have a 1000 files say, you lose about 25MB, big deal.

FAT32 is used by many media players as a default fs as its essentially free and good enough for the purpose. When 128GB ultras come out, i'll be doing the same :)

Good for you, I prefer to use native formats, and would suggest this to anyone who asked me, your spiel does not change that.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdp:
Hi all, I'm considering purchasing an ATT G2 but don't want to if I'm going to have trouble rooting it. The TWRP thread says this:

YOU MUST ALREADY BE ROOTED! follow This guide to do so if you arent. BE AWARE THAT THIS ROOTING METHOD ONLY WORKS BEFORE TAKING THE OTA. IF YOU ARE UPDATED AND UNABLE TO ROOT, FOR NOW THE ONLY WAY IS TO FLASH BACK TO STOCK AND ROOT BEFORE THE OTA, THEN TAKE THE OTA, THEN INSTALL TWRP

Does this mean that the root method won't work out of the box, and I'll need to follow the process of restoring the stock pre-OTA image first? I am reading about a lot of troubles with this process, failed drivers, incorrect system image, etc. Can I feel confident this will work or is it a mixed bag?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
I took the OTA after I got my G2 and then rooted with IORoot just fine. I even had to flash to stock (long story) using the 11A (OTA) files and re-rooted with IORoot. Then installed TWRP via flashify, after which I installed CleanROM....no probs here ?
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdp:
So the initial root worked just fine after OTA without returning to stock? Great...thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simon_lefisch:
Yes. I'm on the Verizon variant, but again I bought my G2 took the OTA and rooted fine.

Btw, after you root, download SuperSU from play store to replace the super user app that is used in the root method.

Ok I just got my sandisk extreme micro sd card in the mail today, formatted it with the device and did a benchmark. I'm getting around 20 MB/s + or - 5 or less on read and write speeds (I would have included a screenshot but after the first test my read speeds went upwards to 700 MB\s so I'm not considering them accurate.) I'm using a1 sd bench. So I think we should see what cards have the best read and write speeds. I'll try and keep the top three listed below. I'd love for someone who has the extreme pro to see what their read and write speeds are. Also the samsung brand. Is there a better benchmark app for sd cards?

Has anyone gotten Wifi Tether working on the Sprint version of the G2?

I just got this phone and rooted it and installed TWRP. Wifi Tether doesn't seem to work. It starts with warnings. the logs says: "Setting ad-hoc mode failed"

I've tried the latest Stable version, as well as the beta and experimental versions.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerd00d:
To add to the multitude of these threads that are already here, why not. I have managed to get it to not throw any errors, however it doesn't appear to broadcast its SSID. Same story with Wifi Tether Router.

Nope. There's no working way. I've been using PDANet to USB tether.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerd00d:
No, I tried manually creating the network on my laptop and it still couldn't see it. inSSIDer on my laptop didn't see it, so it's an issue with the app to wifi chipset.

I wish others would follow suit, I think I created one of the first threads on it....and it promptly lost traction. I managed to get wifi tethering up and running for a bit using some iptables script I found in the HTC one forum, but it stopped working after a minute or two. I'm about to have to go back to our old GS3 because I live off tethering for work when I'm at client sites who don't have wifi.

[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
The thing is do we know how Sprint does tether provision checking? I looked at the GS4 hotspot mod zip files and it looks like the services.jar file was modified to get wifi tether to work. I wonder for the Sprint LG G2 if the behavior is the same where we have to modify the "services.jar" file to get wifi tether to work.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmerd00d:
I did exactly the same thing, ran out of time trying to figure out how to repackage the smali files or something. I found the differences between the two though.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ericdabbs:
How did you decompile the services.jar in the first place? Don't you just do the reverse to repackage it? Do you mind explaining the tools you used and the specific smali files and lines that you saw that were differences. I want to see if I can replicate this.

I just rooted my shiny-new Sprint G2, in hopes of getting tethering going, as well, but disappointed to find out we haven't got a working method for it yet. I noticed they got it working on Verizon via a custom provisioning APK over here. I'm no developer though, so will just keep my eye out for a fix, thanks.
[G2 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigpappa:
I havent looked but I thought I heard rumblings about the sprint moto x getting tethering working. My guess is the files would be similar as tethering is a sprint thing. Maybe taking a look at what some other recent devices are doing to get thethering to work on sprint would help. Im no dev so I cant do much but its just a thought. Checking out some other recent sprint devices and their tethering issues/resolutions, if any, might help.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] osiandtrix:
OK so I have this ROM I want to edit for the galaxy nexus I have a bunch of apps that I have on the rom that fix a lot of the issues people have with the ROM. I did some research before and it said to decompile the app and recompile it in the settings.apk of the ROM. Unfortunately I don't even know how to do that plus I want to make the app look like it was originally part of the ROM as the method above leaves the app with the same name and icon and sometimes let you go into android settings and access it but in general it just makes it a system widget which I don't want to do. Anyways any help is appreciated, and please bear with me its my first time doing it and I just gained interest to do it a short week ago

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iBolski:
I was reimaging my device from 4.4 back to 4.3 (since Kit Kit broke flash videos). Stupid me, I told it NOT to wipe my user data (even though I backed everything up, including the internal storage device). When it rebooted, the X logo was there, but it never would boot up. I'm assuming because it was because I should have wiped data. Oh, and it was fully charged before I did the reimage to 4.3.

Well, I tried to reboot it (did the reset) to try and get into the bootloader which I did. I wipe the cache only and then rebooted and that was it. Blank screen and nothing else. I can't tell if it's turned on or off. Plugging the charger into the wall outlet doesn't elicit any type of response on the screen. Usually, the screen turns on if it's already on or else, if it's off, you get the battery icon. Neither one happens.

The screen is blank (even when I press and hold power+vol up+vol down. I've hooked it up to the PC to see if I could hear at least the sound when it powers down on the reset and it does indeed do that. Then, it connects and then I get a different sound and the PC says it cannot identify the USB device connected when before all of this happened, it was working just fine (had to since I JUST used the N7 tools to flash back to 4.3).

I've also left it hooked up to the original wall charger for over an hour and nothing. Screen is still blank and never comes on no matter what I do.

I've also opened the back up (hopefully they can't tell if I've done this or not) and unplugged the batter, waited and plugged it back in. Still nothing.

I've uninstalled all the drivers, rebooted and tried it again. After it installed the drivers, still the same issue. It worked for almost a year. Luckily, I purchased the N7 on January of 2013, so I'm still under warranty.

Here's the problem: I unlocked the bootloader. Will this void the warranty? Am I hosed if I try to RMA it? I cannot get connected back to to an fastboot oem lock on it. N7 toolkit is useless (well, NOW it is since I have a non-functioning device), so I cannot do anything there.

I'm just trying to see if there is anything else I can do or is the N7 fubar'd? If so, does this mean they won't be able to keep my data (which is fine by me)? I would hate for them to boot it up and see the unlocked icon on the screen and then come back at me for money.

Hi,

I own a Lenovo a390. It shares everything with the Micromax a110 Canvas 2-processor, ram, chipset, Android version etc.

And there are many recoveries available for Canvas 2; I want to try this one-http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2204785

So, my question is: The only difference being screen size (insignificant) and OS builds, can the recovery hurt the stock Android ROM which Lenovo has provided? Just asking because maybe the recovery may be optimised to work with Micromax's build of Canvas 2.

Hello,

I wanted to return the kindle fire to its stock OS and followed one of the instructions in flashing update.zip from my AOKP JB Rom. I regret doing that, the system prompts for foreclose of all android processes and finally the acore as well, with that restarts constantly. I tried connecting with the Factory cable to do a fastboot but no luck. It doesnt recognize the device, keeps saying waiting for device...Also connecting the factory cable did not initiate the fastboot automatically, as most ppl have suggested in other posts.

Please help! I want to be able to install TWRP so i can atleast have a functioning tablet.

I searched and found that another person had a similar issue, but the thread ends in mystery..the users problem solved with just change of drivers. I have no such luck.

Hey, I've spent a few days here and there going to and from the idea of flashing sungsonic hd.

Last night I finally plunged in and decided to flash only to find the thread wiped of download links and a moderator post saying "thread locked pending review".

So I googled it.

Found the creators own forum but it said I needed to log in to view links.

Googled again and found androidfilehost links. AFH speeds suck so I decided to go ahead and sign up with my tapatalk account.

Turns out its the same links... ok, nothing weird here, until I try to ask on the forum about why the xda thread was closed.

Posts must be approved by the site moderators before they are published, no biggie, but everyone is apparently blind to the only one they approved that casually asked about the locked thread. I personally know a forum member who doesn't know why it's locked but tested me earlier saying to see how long my post stays up. Apparently the question has been brought up before but no mods or the dev answer it and the posts tend to disappear after a few days.

What's going on here? Am I just a crazy paranoid or does something seem really fishy? Why can't I even find an inkling of a reason for the lockdown besides a post on this forum that the dev wasn't in compliance with open-source protocol?

Hello..

I last night put my phone onto "flight mode" so that i was not distrubed in the night if a text came through....

this morning i set it back to normal but the network reception reported NO SERVICE

when it had not come back this evening.... i put my sim in a different phone and used a different network's sim card in my pda.... NO SERVICE was reported for this as well but the sim that was placed in the other phone registered on o2 as soon as the phone was switched on

I've only just bought my MDA but off ebay... although it was new i am unable to contact the seller... please can anybody help??

Hi again

In my frustration I have swapped sims again and this time put VODAFONE pay as you go sim in the MDA Magician above.... It found the network and i was able to ring/text from it.....

On putting the O2 Sim Back into the MDA it said NO SERVICE again.....

But using that very same sim in my nokia finds a network.....

The MDA is originally a TMOBILE one that has been unlocked...

ANY help on this would be very appreciated as I'm very annoyed that it's stopped working.

Thank you

Although, I think taking your batter out and swapping sims may count as a soft reset.
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] 00jmjl:
Thanks for the reply - but again that did not solve it... besides to eliminate this i did a HARD RESET as well and re configured it....

I've even RE UNLOCKED it in case this was the problem

(its a T MOBILE PDA) with an O2 SIM IN...... I bought it in November time and unlocked it the same time... My O2 Sim has been working ok in it until the other night when i decided to put it in "flight mode"(so i wasn't disturbed at night)

Im suspecting that it anything to do with IMEI number vs SIM CARD number? Could this have been blocked somehow to that phone?

Its very confusing as it WORKS with VODA sim and DOESNT with O2 yet the SAME O2 sim works in my old nokia 6610.... aaarggghhhh!! LOL
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] Triband81:
If your MDA works with a Vodafone SIM, it certainly can't be blacklisted for all UK networks since it picks up Vodafone. Secondly, it sounds more like a SIM card issue relating strictly to the MDA. What happens when you try another O2 SIM card in the same MDA?

Make sure the O2 SIM hasn't been damaged in some way, if all fails you might want to take the MDA to T-Mobile to see if they can determine whether its IMEI has been blacklisted for certain networks. Otherwise a ROM upgrade may also help fix the problem.

Good Luck
[JAM, MDA Compact, S100 General] oltp:
My guess is that your magician is reported & listed as stolen. Probably not all providers are using the same list with blocked IMEI numbers. Which can explain that one sim works & the other doesn't though works in an other phone.

See if you can find a list for your country on the web. There are some references to such lists in this forum.
