Well the EFS backup/partition stuff contains WiFi Mac address etc, so could be that it is corrupted slightly? --- Best case I can think of now at this moment in time after reading a fair bit, is to re-restore your EFS and ROM etc and see how it does?

Ahh bugger, it could be that you have a dodgy EFS file backup then :crying: -- You may need to make a new backup, it's possible if it's currently corrupted it will still read the settings properly...

You'll most certainly have to seek a Dev's advice then or someone who definitely knows what they are doing, For now I wouldn't try and flash anything else or mess about in case you manage to lose EFS data and/or brick your phone.

EDIT2: You may have one final option - Emergency recovery mode via KIES _ not 100% sure if it'd work, but it may help you at least get back to stock unrooted with EFS back to normal.

I find this normal, 15 min - 2% (depends on what you are doing) i suggest you to turn your phone off when you are sleeping.

if i use chrome for like 5 min it drains 1/2 %

candy crush 10 mins drops 3/4 %

i have 17/18 applications so, it also depends on how many apps you have.

more apps is more battery use

so dont worry

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Audio01:
Hi,

The thing is, I have a Samsung Galaxy S2 (stock Android 4.1.2 rooted) and I would to use the internal memory (/storage/sdcard0) for the .android_secure folder, instead of the real external SD card (/storage/extSdCard) that is now used.

Why? Because I would like to have all the external SD card free for music, videos, pictures, etc. and I don't use the internal memory for my files, so there's a lot of free space not used. Also my SD card is slow (in comparision with the internal memory) so I guess using the moved apps from the internal memory would be faster/more responsive.

Any help welcome! Cheers!

You have CM10.2 GAPPS (4.3) on 4.1.2 system. That is the problem. You should wipe system and preload partition before you did restore. Try it now again. Do wipes and restore backup again. Gapps are not in data paritition.

I had same problem. I never use GAPPS, so I have not flashed the zip. Still I encountered this strange problem.

I found two possible methods which may help.

To restore 'stock JB backup' you must flash CM 10.1(4.2.2) or CM 10(4.1) and make sure you wipe data,cache and dalvik-c before and after flashing.

The from CM 10.1/10 recovery restore the stock JB backup.

If that did not work, the use ODIN to flash the stock JB firmware and then flash custom recovery. With this recovery you can restore either data or all of the partitions. GOOD LUCK

[General Questions and Answers] sndsnd:
Try HDD LLF Low Level Format Tool by HDDguru for Windows (it is for SD cards too, despite the name), and make sure that other cards work with your devices.

Or, are you using a microSD to SD adapter with all devices (Android AND pc)? If so, try a different one - they have a read-only switch. If that won't help, it indeed looks like a hardware problem - is it still under the warranty maybe?
[General Questions and Answers] taranfx:
When i had similar problem i went to service center and they replaced it without questions. These cards usually have 3-5 years warranty. give it a try
[General Questions and Answers] Auzman:
This was on of the tools I already tried with no success. I also tried different sd adapters on different PC...

I'm really thinking that it is an hardware issue of the microSD card. It should be still under warranty, the problem is that all the files are still there (and unmovable) and there are some personal documents that I'd rather not give around...

[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
In general, really, you may assume that WM2002, 2003 and 2003SE software for the ARM platform is 'WM5 compatible'.

Some of the more advanced pieces of software - such as the "all-in-one" style packages, backup and skinning software stuff may have issues, but that's usually noted on the developer's website, or in one of the comments/quickreviews for the product.

the wm5fixsite.com site is indeed a great resource for finding this out as well, as it will also list software incompatible as being such - this is all user-driven.

In terms of "designed for WM5" - i.e. with full respect for the landscape mode, soft buttons, etc. - I can't think of any site hat specifically highlights that.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] Einstein:
I don't fully agree .. with a non-WM5 compatible software may give the Wizard sideffects that can result in crashes and later hard-reset is needed. Also uninstall procedure won't work for non-WM5 software.

There are sites that highlights WM5 compatbility ... here's one list: http://wiki.howardforums.com/pocketpc/index.php/HTC_Wizard#Compatible_Software
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] ZeBoxx:
Einstein... sure, that's why there's notable exceptions. Overall, if you were to ignore a site like 'wm5fixsite', which really just lists user experiences - and were to go by the author's word - then there's not a lot of choice in software out there yet. The vast majority of 2002/2003/2003SE software will run on WM5 just fine.

The latter bit I didn't mean so much compatibility as I meant 'designed for'. For example, WiFiFoFum is WM5 compatible - but neither soft key is used - i.e. to reach the Tools or Scan menus without having to tap on the screen :)
