[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] horsage:
Hi everyone, i need help.

I have read many threads from XDA and many other places and still couldnt find a solution.

Info:

I have bought a non fake microsd samsung 64gb class 10 for my S4.

I own I9500 with 4.3 MK1 official stock.

Situation:

I cannot get the card to work properly.

What for:

1.Photos

2. Docs

3. Apps on extsd

4. etc

Problems:

1. Card is not recognized (NTFS obviously will not work)

2. Card is recognized but then can only read but not write, once given the error, cannot be accessed anymore (exFat)

3. Card is recognized but then can only read but not write, always working, but cannot write to it, says access denied (Fat32)

4. Card works properly with read/write but often shows errors (2 partitions, one made of 32gb only)

Tools:

I used:

1. Minitool

2. fat32formatter

3. guiformat

4. easeus partition

5. official SD formatter

None of this tools helped me with the sd card. Card cannot be used. I think that maybe im missing something or other option that may solve the problem, i dont think im the only one with this problem.

In summary, i have the mentioned Sd card and cannot use it in the SGS4. there is no way i can get it to work properly.

1. Is it the SD card? (but it works on the pc)

2. does the S4 not support 64gb class 4? but specs say it does

3. does android 4.3 have issues with this matter? do you know if it does and some other rom it does not have this issue? with everything working like stock rom?

Your help is very much appreciated

Regards

Hi!

I was noticing issues a few days ago but never though they were phone related but I just did a test and the downloads speeds are horrible with Wifi. I mean .21mps and upload just scored 2.81Mb

On one random test it got about 8 download just 15 mins ago but after that is all super slow.

No idea what kind of settings I can tweak here.

In comparison a HTC Amaze gets 11Mb download in the same spot and even the horrible Wifi of the TF201 transformer Prime gets about 6Mb :/

Any suggestions?

PS UPDATE

In my case it was the router.

Got a Linksys E2500 and now all my devices max out my internet speeds...happy ending! :)
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup! I also noticed this after the 290 update, so it's definitely a software issue (thank god). I noticed around two weeks ago that my download speed was at 12 Mbps, which is what it should be at, but one day later it was at 7. So I logged on my 2.4GHz network instead of 5GHz, and it was back to normal... well, until it wasn't. It had gone down to 7 again. And that's how it's been for the past two weeks. I have no idea why this happens, but it is driving me crazy. It's nice to see that I'm not the only one with this issue though. It helps a little while to switch between the frequencies for me, but I'm getting really tired of it.

What router do you have? I have a Netgear something something..
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Got a Netgear 2.4Ghz kind of old by now and I wish I was getting 7 :/

Just changed to CH1 on the router, did a quick run and was getting about finally but then got a lost network connection error, ran it again and got .12 download! :/

In thought about trying Dogg ROM ...this si really annoying me now :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright, so you have a Netgear too. Interesting. But I didn't have any issues on 257, so it's kind of strange.

I'm completely blank, and I have no idea what the problem might be. How much data has AndroidOS used on your ZU on WiFi?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
How can you check data usage under Wifi only.. like maybe just restart it and let it sit to see what it is doing?

I am going to ask on the Dogg Rom thread what people is getting with Wifi too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Go to data usage, tap the three dots and then "show WiFi usage".
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
For today is showing 101MB Android OS

Right now it is getting into almost 4MB download and 5 upload so that is better than the .21s of before but it just keep changing all the time while my HTC Amaze gets almost 20Mb downloads! :/

I even though of getting a more modern router! :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Ah, okay. AndroidOS here has used 3.8GB so far this month, which isn't normal at all. It should be around 50MB. It doesn't add up at all. What system service is using that much data? The answer is non, which makes this another mystery on my part.

I have read a lot about people having the same problem as me, but they also had really bad battery life and it's usually easy to catch the guilty service, but my battery is awesome and AndroidOS only uses data while I'm on Wi-Fi... Like what the hell...! I'm drawing complete blanks here :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Wow I just saw that from Jan 1 to Jan 9 I have 3.60GB of Android OS and 1.6GB of youtube...so that is more than double my actual Youtube Wifi usage! WTH :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Vanquiz:
Gasp... I got almost 6GB Android OS usage in one week?!?! Wth...

On the other note, that is weird why your Amaze got better speed compared to ZU, perhaps there's some incompatibility between ZU and your router? I'm using Asus and it works just fine, just did a quick speedtest, and pretty much same speed between ZU on wifi and ethernet on PC, 55-58Mbps
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Are you on stock .290 ROM? What router is that?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Vanquiz:
Totally stock. 290, Asus RT N66U

Before, i was using Linksys E2000, wifi speed is only can reach half speed of ethernet.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
And suddenly like at 11pm it started getting 16Mb down again and this morning it was still good...maybe my router is acting up indeed? I did try the HTC two more times like at 10pm and it dropped to about 6Mb compared to previous side to side tests where it was getting 16Mb and the Ultra only .21...yeah hard to track down the issue with so many random acts.

In any case, I am going to try a new router.

A local is selling a Linksys EA4500 for $75. If I can get it for $50, it should be an upgrade from what I got...I hope :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] hansip87:
I was getting just 1MBps of upload speed when sending my film through Wifi to my desktop. but when i change target (to my NAS) the speed is increased to 3MBps. I know it is still counted as slow, but just to inform that different target/source is another factor too.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
LOL, take a look at this
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Now is that because of the sync of data, pictures, apps, etc to google? :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I don't sync my photos, apps etc. so it can't be that. I do have auto-sync on 24/7, but that's only gmail syncing and stuff like that. Automatic backup is disabled. The funny thing i noticed is that AndroidOS' data usage will increase whenever i use the YouTube app. Logic, not even once :p

Edit: Oh, and btw, regarding the WiFi issue we're both having, the upload/download speed is constantly at max on my computer, but not on the Ultra, so it has to be a software issue in 290.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I dont get it as other users do not have the same problem or so they claim.

I even asked on the Dogg Rom thread. And this morning suddenly mine was fine again. I am getting a new router to switch from 2.4 to 5 if that helps since at home there are too many close routers and too many wireless things.

Besides, many times I have to come home and uplug the router and plug back in for the wireless to connect so I am fed up with it :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yeah, it's strange that we're the only ones with this problem, and we both have Netgear routers :p I should probably move my router around and see if that makes a difference. It's currently sitting next to my TV and a lot of other gadgets, which isn't that smart :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I have an oldie Netgear but someone is selling the wndr3400 for $40 local. Maybe I will give it a shot.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I have the WNDR4300, but i have no idea how the 3400 is.

---------- Post added at 07:37 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:26 PM ----------

BTW, can you log into your router and check the log? Look for "DoS Attack: RST Scan".

After checking the log on my router, i noticed A LOT of DOS attacks, and after checking the IPs, it looks like Google and Telenor are attacking my router. After some more googling, it looks like i'm not the only one getting these attacks from google. This might be why our connections are getting "crippled" now and then, so check your log and see if you've also been attacked. I'm going to dig some more and update here if i find anything else.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
I will check when I get home for sure. :)

mmm wonder if I should try a different brand then :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright, i'm back :p It looks like my router is "panicking" whenever it receives a lot of data in small packets, so it thinks it's a DDoS attack, and it blocks and logs it. This might be the reason why it slows down, but i'm not having any slowdowns on my computer, but only on the Ultra. Damn you to hell, technology!
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
hahah tell me about it, like mine suddenly working fine then the HTC dropping to 5MB..like when you think you know what the issue is, then it totally changes :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Aaaand now my anti malware program found 2 infected files. I'm 7 seconds from quitting technology :p
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
on the phone? :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Nope, on my computer :p Nothing serious though! :cool:
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Complete happiness! :D

Got a used $30 Linksys E2500 and WOW, now even my smartwatch (ZGPAX S5) maxes my internet connect (24Mb as I just downgraded it).

Even my Prime does 24Mb which I though it could not do at all since it is famous for horrible Wifi range and GPS.

And of course, my Ultra is smoking fast too now at maxed out speeds.

I can rest now :D
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Alright, so i guess i'm alone now. God damn it!

Congrats on "fixing" it though! $30 for a router is dirt cheap, so it's actually pretty funny to see that a cheap router does a better job than a $200 router. Just typical :p Well, i guess i'll have to take a closer look at my router tomorrow.

EDIT: Okay, so i just tested the up/down speed on both my laptop and my Ultra like 3 meters from the router.

- Laptop: 12Mbps down, 5Mbps up (as usual)

- Ultra: 12Mbps down (but then it fell down to 8Mbps) and 4Mbps up.

I then turned Wifi off and on again on the Ultra, and i got 12 down and 6 up. It works NOW, but my guess is that it'll start to drop in a few hours and i have no idea why.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] shaolin95:
Yeah sorry man. :/

But I can see that most of the headaches I have been having for a LONG time were just the router...maybe it was dying already and I always thought my Prime tablet was super slow in the wifi department because of thatl..so I took it all for granted that way. :)

But yeah, in my case my router was very old and was cheap so this one is a MUCH more modern one but your case is not that one though. :/
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
Have you used something like a wifi analyzer to see who else is on the same channels?

Oh and check for cheap power supplies and fluro lights - they can spew out a lot of noise...
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
Yup, there are like 10 2.4GHz networks around me, and 0 5GHz networks, but both 2.4 and 5 slows down after a couple of hours. I'm always getting max speeds on my laptop, and the Ultra is the only one that struggles. It will hit max and then slowly decrease down to almost half of that.

As mentioned earlier, it went back to normal after i turned the Wifi on my Ultra off and on for 3 seconds, so it has to be a software bug on my Ultra. I have the Netgear WNDR4300 which i got like two months ago.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] Vanquiz:
Just want to give a little update, wifi connection seems slows a lot, only at 3 Mbps. On iPad on the same connection speedtest shows normal fast speed.

1. Restarted modem and router, same result.

2. Turn off and turn on wifi on ZU, same result.

3. Forget wifi network, and reconnect, same result.

4. Almost give up with frustration.

5. Turn off phone and turn it back on, then finally the speed back to normal.

So at least on my phone, i think i need to restart my phone every other day to prevent the drop on wifi speed, but still need to see if it happens again in the next few days.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] LordManhattan:
I stumbled upon something today. Disable "WiFi optimization" (WiFi->Advanced). Some say it'll stop Android from "pinging" the router every couple of seconds. I disabled it a couple of hours ago, but my WiFi issue creeps up on me, so i'll have to wait and see if it solves my problem. Also, i read that disabling the "n" (in b/g/n) (local speed over 54Mbps) helps too. I haven't disabled that yet, but i still find it funny that my 4 year old laptop isn't having any issues with WiFi. I was on 4.4.2 (GPe ROM) earlier today and it was still the same, so it can't be software, and i refuse to believe that it's a hardware issue (since turning WiFi off and on speeds it up again), so it has to be my router or some crappy Android WiFi drivers.

I can of course set it to turn WiFi off when i turn the screen off, and that'll "refresh" the connection every time i use it, but then i'll have to wait a couple of seconds for it to connect every time i turn the screen on :p I ain't got time for dat!

I used to have 6GB free from my 16GB GS4. I installed Omega ROM and now it says 2GB free out of 8.94GB. Can I get them back and still use the rom?
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Misterjunky:
re: memory

That's normal if you downloaded a lot of apps, or created a few nandroid backups.

If you have videos in the phone that also uses a lot of memory, pictures uses memory.

If you are like I am, I keep about 2 GB of MP3 songs on my phone, that's takes up

a lot of memory too.

Check for nandroid backups in either your clockworkmod folders if you use cwm recovery

or in your TWRP folder and sub-folders if you use TWRP recovery for backups.

Nandroid backups take up a lot of user available memory.

Our phones have a total of 16gb memory (a little less due to the formatting overhead).

Within that memory there is a pre-allocated partition of approx 6gb designed to

be used by the firmware/rom and it's associated files, images and cache.

The size of that partition cannot be changed by the user and if you flash a rom

which is 2GB in size or 1GB the total free available memory for the user will

remain the same, it will not add or subtract from the total free space to the user.

Good luck!
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maurocds:
s4 has 9.13gb max free, you need to enter recovery and wipe a lot of things from internal memory

be carefull with your data

after rom flash, should be around 8gb 8.5gb (with gpe roms)
[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xiabonan:
Did you make a backup using your recovery and stored it to your internal storage? That could take up A LOT of space!!

[Galaxy S III I9305 (4G LTE + 2GB RAM) Q&A, Help & ] jonamafun:
For anyone that has upgraded their i9305 to 4.3, have you tried using an external USB Audio DAC?

I'm currently running Alliance ROM v2.2 with Boeffla 5.1 beta 12 (old bootloader) and USB audio does not work with my HRT Microstreamer USB DAC. When I hit play in a music app the play timer skips through the song a few seconds at a time and eventually crashes. No sound is played either.

It all worked fine on 4.1.2.

Anyone perhaps running stock 4.3 with the new bootloader got USB audio working?

Seen a couple patches and a nearly worthless USB sync update that I have to activate EVERY time I synch... but no new ROM.

Did see a new ROM for the Dopod 838 this last week, though, so fingers are crossed!
[JAMin, XDA Neo, S200 General] Lucas0511:
Highly recommend the USB sync update for Dopod - available on their website dopodasia.com - since installed I do not have to deactive the firewall anymore to get Activesync to work with Win Mobile devices. This update was overdue!

@thulsey Sync update works perfect for me, not repeated activation necessary.

My CC is not rooted, build 14975 . When connecting to youtube and setting up a bunch of videos in TV queue by smartphone youtube, then the phone stays idle/sleep mode . After a while, trying to reconnect to CC again, either add or remove videos in the TV queue, half of the time it can reconnect fine and regain the session/ tv queue as well as the current video is still playing. However, half of the other time, it just shows the default youtube screen, kills the playing video, and erase all the tv queue. Does anyone have a fix for it ? TIA

Okay so i just got my c6833 ultra today and its on 4.2.2 currently and i got notified asking if i wanted to update it. Should i take that update ? and also how do i root this thing ? and does rooting screw anything up like what would happen if i unlocked the bootloader ?
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] neverborn:
In my opinion 4.2.2 was already very decent. 4.3 just brought some overall smoothness to an already zippy device.

4.2.2 is easily rooted too, but 4.3 requires that you unlock the BL (losing X-reality in the process). Think there's someone here who was able to root his locked BL on 4.3, too - you should check that out.
[Sony Xperia Z Ultra] blueether:
How do we know if you should take the update???

Things to note:

You will need to be on .532 of the firmware to root using an exploit

Root following the guide that is stickied in the general thread, also read the back up TA thread

.290 (4.3) is easy to root if you have an unlocked BL

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sidehop:
I've been at it for the last 24 hours ever since I lost 3G connection on CM10.3 (had 10.1 and 10.2) over a week ago. I thought it was the tower for few days.

Things I've done:

- Format system/cache/Dalvik

- Flashed a new stock ROM & ended up upgrading to version with KNOX which I later found out, but NO 3G still after PRL update, etc

- Got out of the soft brick by downloading Philz Touch Recovery

- Flashed latest CM11 which got my phone back

- Tried multiple radio flash

- Battery in/out (left it out 15 min)

- Sprint rep sent refresh signal

And still, stuck on 1x mode even though it says 3G. Not even getting more than 0.01kbps testing.

I'm starting to think there's something wrong with my radio. Never had any issue with this phone (other than random freezing here and there) until I lost my 3G. Thoughts? I've had my GSIII for little over a year now.

Thank you :)
[General Questions and Answers] LifeAsADroid:
What's up all.

So here's my thought... Is there a device out there to plug into a TV's HDMI port that will let me send video files wirelessly to it from my phone/computer so that I can watch the videos on the big screen instead of my phone/computer screen?

A few ideas:

- Is there a HDMI-to-bluetooth adapter/dongle that I could plug into the TV and send the videos bluetooth-ly to?

- Is there a HDMI-"SmartTV-creating" adapter (I've seen things like "Android mini pc"s on the 'net) that I could use to transform my TV into a SmartTV or an android "tablet/computer-like-device" and then send the video files from one device to the other? i.e. - devices like this one... http://www.amazon.com/UG007B-Quad-C...d=1389321213&sr=8-13&keywords=android+mini+pc with a wireless keyboard as well of course, and using either bluetooth or a wifi signal to send from my phone/computer to either stream, or transfer the file then watch.

- From what I know the Chromecast device at this time cannot do this, and only works for specific apps like HBO GO, Netflix, Hulu, etc., not for sending straight video files stored on a phone/tablet, but are there other such devices out there that do what I am looking to do?

Thanks all in advance for the help!
[General Questions and Answers] chan.sk:
Apart from all the other proprietary sets on the market, the wi-fi (802.11/...) USB dongle appear to be an easy way to connect your mobile/laptop/TV to the TV set. The disadvantage is the short range of about 10 feet, unless you use a wi-fi access point to extend the distance range.

On the TV side, attach a HDMI dongle

On a PC, attach wi-fi USB dongle. I think you will need a streaming software.

On a tablet, attach a OTG (On-The-Go) mini-USB-to-USB adapter and then the wi-fi USB dongle. Again, I would think you need a streaming software.

On a mobile phone, it will be more of a challenge. You could do wired-wireless combo:

Phone-to-computer using screen capture application (wi-fi, USB or Bluetooth), then Computer-to-TV via the wi-fi USB option above.

Thanks for the ideas, and I agree that link was an interesting read.

After thinking, I think the way I'll go about this is using Google Drive and an Android mini pc TV adapter. I can drop the video files (or whatever) into the drive on my computer or phone, then sync my TV Android to get the files to play.
