damaged external SD card and battery drain

Just to share my experience. I have never been able to achieve the minimal battery drain that some guys report, but I have never paid much attention to my external SD card, which I have used mainly to store photos and rom backups.

Yesterday my exstsd got fried... Not a big trouble, because most photos were synced with Dropbox, Google + and Picasa, but I discovered what kind of impact a damaged SD card could have on battery life and I was very surprised: it looks something like a 1-2% per hour.

So I strongly suggest anybody who's facing abnormal battery drain to check if the SD card is damaged, since looking at mediascanner wakelocks is not enough in my experience.

I know this is a little bit out of place, but not totally as I'm having trouble with this since the dawn of time.

I'm using the last TWRP right now(2.8.0.0) and when I try to transfer stuff after a total complete wipe via USB to the root of the device, it won't transfer at all via default windows transfer, same thing for External SD card. The thing is, I only have one SD card that works with my phone(other being a 32gb, won't work for some reason) and it's 2gb, so it can't hold the rom.

Anyone knows any fix? Also, while I'm here, anyone knows what brand/size/yadayada of MicroSD card fits in a Note 2 (Don't know if it's important, but Canadian version)?

Thanks for all the help. People that moderate the thread, just tell me if it's too much asking, I'll just delete. I've just been wondering these things for ages.

Its all good [emoji1]lower your twrp version one notch before 2.8 also theres an sd card fix . Found here..

And lastlly im using a samsung 64 gig sd card. Got it off amazon for like 50.00 us dollars..

If you use solid file explorer when moving a file in your phone it will default the move to the root...

Hope this all helps...[emoji16]

Here's where I am at. I had to work overtime yesterday and I had to have a phone. Went to att store and had activate a sim for my old motorola atrix (with a cyanagon rom from epinter) and that worked for the last couple days for me. Been searching and scratching my head for what to flash all week end. Between confusion and slow downloads here is what I did. First I tried flash in odin twrp recovery. It passed but still could not get in recovery. Next I found a thread in help and trouble shooting with a similar problem and the fix was to flash param and tz package, so off to odin. Flash was success but after when I held the volume up, home, and power button it went to the teamwin logo again and then back to samsung galaxy note ii logo and back to teamwin and back over and over, in a boot loop. So the next thing I had been reading was to flash the LJ2 firmware from sammobile. Was really worried about this since I was upgraded all the way to this rom and wasn't sure witch bootloader i was on, so I decided to flash the ma4 firmware witch is there latest. Well I followed the instructions in this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2618447. Had to pull battery after and boot in stock recovery, do a factory reset. IT worked. I am now on stock 4.1.2, baseband I317UCAMA4. I just new the counter would be tripped but it is showing normal.

So now need to go back to ATT and acitvate my sim for the note 2. Should I take the 4.3 update if available or do as I did before when I was on skynote air rom and param to 4.3 and then install this rom again. Got to get rooted again first.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] mtech5:
Little off topic. My wife needed a new phone. She still was using the S3. So went by the AT&T store yesterday and she picked out the LG G3. What a beast, but myself I'm waiting for N4.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
If your not worried about warranty id take the update. It means you can charge with the phone switched off and also don't need to rely on custom kernel for wifi. People think sboot.bin only has knox in it but there's other stuff in it as well.

At the end of the day it's a personal choice
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] berniebling:
Ive attaches a sceen of my phone setup/

anyone see a reason why im failing to flash this rom.

i am using 2.8.0 of TWRP, thinking i should use a different version.

thank you

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lyper:
Well, DN3 won't boot. I did exactly everything needed, I get stuck at the samsung Logo. I just tried 5 other roms, everything works.

Will re-try later, but basically I got through the AROMA installer choosing my settings. Is there some sort of combo that would prevent from booting after?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Try lowering your version of twrp..

2.8 seems to be creating problems.

Boot right back into recovery and flash again no wipe..

Or try phillz recovery...
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] berniebling:
gonna grab a fresh copy of the rom also, thanks for your input
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Did you change your recovery version? Aroma can hang sometimes.. try rebooting right back into recovery and flashing the rom again no wipe..did you include wiping the internel the first time you flashed??

---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 11:05 PM ----------

No problem..

Keep at it youll get it and.....

Its worth it..[emoji1][emoji106]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] berniebling:
I guess the stupid question is the one not asked so here goes

Is my only option with the SGH I317 to use ROM V 3.1? My desire to flash this ROM might be clouding my understanding a bit:)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
No you can flash our latest..

This hang your having is aroma being stubborn.... [emoji53]
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] berniebling:
Not using Aroma, i understand that to be the same as philz,twrp or CWR

im DWNLD V5 for the LTE version, 1.9 g from your site now.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Aroma is part of the installer in the rom... lol youll get it..?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] austin912:
its not the battery getting drained

its ram

never seen this on a rom before
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
Boot manager, reciever stop and greenify can stop apps running in the background and lower your ram consumption as well as helping battery. They improve battery by stopping apps running, less apps running less ram usage. Also debloating will improve your ram consumption as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Lyper:
Well, I can't clear up the entire internals as I need the rom on my internal memory, and I can't transfer after a system wipe. It is quite the problem.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
If you have done a full wipe I can't see a reason for rom not booting. You haven't flashed anything else at the same time have you? If you are going to change kernel let the rom boot first
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] :
If you are using philz which I recommend then clean to install new rom will do the trick and not wipe your internal
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Storage ext sd for the Rom...

This will allow you wipe internel..

And boot from the externel sd were the Rom is stored...

Actually im having issue with modem. i do not have LTE now. should i flash the modem again or search for apn setting in this forum for my carrier?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bluecham:
I am loving this ROM. The only issue I seem to have is two fold: battery drains 1-2% per minute, even in power save mode. This may be connected to the next issue: data connection is constantly cycling on and off. I am coming from version 3.1. When I installed that version I updated my bootloader... Not sure of my Kernal, when I was running a previous ROM I was on Devil. I'm on ATT i317.

If I flash Agni, what steps do I need to take? Thanks for advice.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Flashvetrin:
Set up a new apn for your carrier and reboot...

---------- Post added at 01:50 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:46 AM ----------

It should show up in recovery.. you might try formating the card in windows and the reboot the phone with the card in.. does the ext sd card get recognized with the other Roms youve mentioned????

---------- Post added at 01:53 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:50 AM ----------

Standard flash for agni. No special steps...

Not really. I'll try that before saying it doesn't work. I only tried with the 2gb for the others which worked.

something good meaning Note 4 port:). Saw note 4 yesterday at my local BB. Honestly, hardware-wise, it's better but really not super impressive, reminded me a little of the GS3. And software is nothing spectacular either. Though, there are some new features in there from what I have seen online that looks pretty neat. So would be nice to get those ports onto our Note 2. Let's make Note be be the HD2 of the Android device taht just never die:). (one thing I did notice with N4 is that UI does seem a tad buggy and slow at times, which is a bit sad to see from Samsung given to how much power it is packed in that device). Can't wait to see what goodies you are cooking up.

Thanks to the help of [MENTION=3082885]bsbachert[/MENTION] I have a fully functional 4.4.4 base now. We'll be releasing the 4.4.4 base in a new thread later for other devs to use as a base. When the eteam have finished porting the n4 apps we'll release our version. No etas please as we might not be able to port everything they do but it's looking promising

DN3 Slim Version for F2FS

Ok everyone that wanted a slim version to use with f2fs file system, here it is!!!!

Here's the list of files I removed from the Rom to make it a little smaller. For those that want to run it with f2fs set up.

Just so you know you can skip installing Google maps, You tube, Hangouts, etc to save extra space.

That way you'll have a slightly smaller Rom, for your first back up.

Just so everyone knows that you'll, need some type of file explorer in order to delete these files on your phone.

All these files below can be found in your \system\ folder.

After removing all these files from your system, the Rom should be around 1.66Gb

If you not comfortable using file explorers or removing stuff from your device. Then I'm dropping this here for those that want it for f2fs.

Nice Stock ROM, but really have trouble getting it installed. Once I got it installed, it freezes a lot on some apps or random freezes. Anyone have experience it? I am running DPI of 275 using Aviate Launcher. I have similar settings in AOSP ROM, and not a single freeze. Not trying to compare here, but I actually enjoy bit of stock feel with Avialte launcher.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
If you didn't wipe internal when flashing then might be your problem! Dpi?? That could be causing the problem also? Changing dpi can give some people lots of problems!!! I only change mine with app setting, so I do it per app, not the whole phone!

Might need to change to Agni kernel! Or devil kernel...

I never used aosp anything on this device tbh, to buggy and I like everything working the way I want...

Oh I forgot probam, I guess I used one for about a week lol...

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] rob_z11:
I Did have the device internals completely wiped several times. Changing per APP DPI could be an ugly solution, but I suppose that it may work. I am running latest Agni, and may switch to Devil.

I think AOSP has come long way for our device in my opinion. Rom such as Liquid, AICP, Omni and Slim as well as others customer builder are really really stable. I had used Omni and Liquid as well as AICP for long time with good success.

I am going to try switching to 320, and may be do per App DPI if I need to. Would Devil from 9/11 or 9/19 or 9/23 work on this? Just clear init.d folder, and should boot fine right?

Also you think 240 would work better may be?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II] Bajanman:
Lol on the per app dpi...

On the aosp Roms, yeah I agree most are probably very stable and really nice. But I haven't used much of them tbh. I tried all of them on my skyrocket (s2). And it was great back then.

But it's only a matter of preference with the use of any Rom. And I prefer TW[emoji41]

Yeah you can use those devil kernels with what you suggested.

In case you haven't make sure you do a full wipe, and then if stuck on samsung logo after the flash, flash again without wyping. If that doesn't work then try flashign using PHILZ recovery.

I had the same issue and it turned out to be something wrong with the file (md5 was correct) and I had to re-download. When trying to flash the file with TWRP it would flash and then just get stuck on the Samsung logo, however when I switched to PHILZ recovery it actually said that there was a problem with the file (don't recall the exact message). Once I downloaded it again, everything went smooth as butter.
