When an application hangs and it is force stopped it starts taking too much cpu the phone needs to be restarted to make it normal. I found one quick way to stop high cpu usage by any application after freaze and force stop. just run command pkill sdcard at terminal as su.

Well, since it's getting pretty old to do my "post 80" hack every time I want to listen to music, and trying to install the basic pre-reqs for Android kernel development (so I could try my "post 135" hack) resulted in a very corrupt Ubuntu 12.04 64-bit system, that took three hours to recover - I think I'll give exFAT a try before going any further (first wrinkle being, of course, the lack of robust exFAT support in non-Android Linux!).

EDIT:

Turns out Ubuntu 12.04 CAN support exFAT - ironically (oh SOOOO ironically) via FUSE!!!

First results - multiple large file copies to and from my desktop system - are certainly more promising than before! Music comes later.

What's the default sdcard FS format on S3-family devices

Could it POSSIBLY be that the default SD card format of Galaxy S3 family devices is exFAT and THAT is why they aren't seeing the problem? Is that a stupid question?
[General Omni Discussion] NaminatoR1254jaime.sier:
Dont think so, because they dont have an Exynos 4210 chip. Although I was thinking the same.

But Id love to test your bind command hahaha.

Regarding the hack, Id see duplicates of sd cards, right? But in a music app, would I see song duplicates? Or in a gallery, image duplicates?

I tried Gustavo 08-03 and my sdcard is ext4. It freezes.

Went back to 08-02 version.

My rom is pound rom 25-01 version
[General Omni Discussion] bassmanitram:
I'd like to test the bind too - I think that will work - but it requires either me getting up to speed on Android kernel development (and, firstly, managing to install the prereqs without killing my system), or some willing kernel dev doing the work for me.

For the "post 80" hack, yes you'lld see the sd cards twice. I haven't actually looked at media-library based apps to see if they get duplicates, but I suspect yes. Music apps that don't use the media library (like Poweramp) can be configured to ignore the "FUSE based" card and read only from the root mount - that's what I've been doing.

I am copying with es file manager I should try aosp default file manager now...
[General Omni Discussion] lerkin:
I was going to try exfat too, but after your report I will not do it. Thanks!
[General Omni Discussion] glhfggnore:
Well, aosp default file manager copy works. Already copied 1.89 gb and still copying.

The thing is that those copy operations worked for me on my ext4 partition and without exfat format.
[General Omni Discussion] lerkin:
I asked my friend, he developed for n7000, he said we must ditch fuse and use other way to mount storages (bind -o ? ). What are side affects of that? No ntfs support?
[General Omni Discussion] glhfggnore:
I agree. The more I understand about this fuse driver is that it is not good working on our device, not bug free.

If the exfat thing work maybe we should all reformat our int and ext memory to exfat and live with fuse without problem.

Here is the topic I read about formatting to exfat on galaxy s2:

http://xdaforums.com/galaxy-s2/deve...o-mount-exfat-formatted-drives-cards-t1371621
[General Omni Discussion] bassmanitram:
Possibly (if ntfs is only available through FUSE under Android) but there exists non-FUSE drivers for NTFS for Linux so it shouldn't be a problem. The other side effect is a marginal loss of security with respect to FUSE: since FUSE mounts the filesystem in user space, only the currently logged in user can see the cards, whereas with bind all users will see it. But since we are all basically using single-user devices I don't believe that really presents an issue (as it might if a multi-user tablet was affected by the bug, for example).

So, I need to either seriously get down to figuring out how to develop and test Android kernels, or bribe (or otherwise persuade) an experienced kernel dev to attempt to use the mount bind option. The latter would, of course, be way faster! Any takers?
[General Omni Discussion] lerkin:
May be you could pm gustavo_s, he looks like very responsive developer. Pedestre is great guy too, but he is going to stop developing (changing device). Don't see any other active developers with kernel development experience. Ah, I forgot about dorinmanx, but he is focusing on lg g2 more now.
[General Omni Discussion] j1gga84:
Pedestre is not stopping development! He has no S2 ATM but he will get a broken one so he can continue developing :good:

[General Omni Discussion] Entropy512:
Um, the default isn't exFAT.

HOWEVER - on the 4412 family, Samsung used the "standard" ICS approach for internal SD card, which is to use the sdcard fuse daemon in its "original" form to map /data/media to /sdcard with some special permissions management magic.

This approach has been a standard feature of Android since 4.0

What is new with 4.4 is that Google added a LOT of new capabilities to the fuse sdcard daemon, and these capabilities are required for FAT-mounted media. It is these capabilities that are behaving badly on our devices.

So on the 4412 devices, the internal SD card is using the "original" fuse daemon operating mode which has been working fine since ICS. The external SD card is using these "new" methods - but so far no one has reported issues. It's unknown exactly why yet:

1) The issue has already proven itself to be highly timing-sensitive. For example, adding logging to the sdcard daemon to try and figure out where/why it's hanging seems to greatly reduce the severity of the problem. The extra clock speed and cores of the 4412 might alone be enough to change the behaviors here.

2) Since the 4412 uses a "stable" method for the internal SD card, issues with the external SD card might be much rarer.

The side effects of this are serious issues with system behavior. Starting with 4.4, the fuse daemon was modified to enhance permissions management on FAT-formatted SD cards, and this permissions management is required for 4.4 to work correctly.
[General Omni Discussion] Dr.69:
Hi,

So yesterday I formatted my both cards (internal and external) to exFAT, and by now things look good.

The tests I did were 4 hours listening to music, syncing my whole sd card to Dropbox with dropsync, doing a full Titanium Backup backup and downloading youtube videos with TubeMate (all those things were freezing before).

BUT, more testing should be done. I will leave my phone for the night to play my whole library and do some other stuff and will report back. For now it will be good if someone could format his SD cards too to see if it's really working and it is not just a few hours of luck.

I formatted them while being in recovery mode (I think it is more convenient)

For folks like me who use linux, those commands will add exFAT support to your deb based distro :
[General Omni Discussion] Markox89:
First of all thank you [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] for your great explanation :)

And, on the other hand, I'm starting to wonder if formatting sdcard isn't a solution by itself, without changing the filesystem. I see lot of users formatting (for trying exFAT or ext4) and reporting that the issue seems gone.
[General Omni Discussion] lerkin:
Can you please try to copy really big files (several renamed nightlies) from sdcard0\x to sdcard0\y (internal to internal) with file manager like Solid explorer or ES explorer several time. For me this is the most effective method to reproduce this bug.

Thanks in advance.
[General Omni Discussion] Dr.69:
Done! With ES explorer

From external to internal and from internal to internal.
[General Omni Discussion] lerkin:
Thanks! Gonna convert and check myself.
[General Omni Discussion] bassmanitram:
I don't deny the intent of the changes to FUSE, and I don't deny that the only real fix is to fix FUSE, but no fix has proven feasible so far and I, for one, see no system behavior difference when accessing directly the standard mount at /mnt/media_rw than the FUSE mount at /storage, with the exception that the system plain works! I imagine the FUSE security changes relate more to newer multi-user devices, a use case that must be basically non-existent for S2-family devices experiencing this problem.

Frankly, the only alternative to finding other ways to mount the SD cards than through FUSE would be to forget KitKat for S2 devices at all because it appears that few developers (a notable exception being yourself) have taken the bug seriously - presumably precisely BECAUSE we are dealing with otherwise "obsolete" devices.

Consequently, although it IS going against the KitKat grain, we have to look at all avenues to work around this - because the problem makes Kit Kat (and Omni) unusable for S2 family devices.
[General Omni Discussion] kulwinderjj:
Music was playing on poweramp. Froze and i executed pkill sdcard it continued where it left :)
[General Omni Discussion] bassmanitram:
If, as [MENTION=591147]Entropy512[/MENTION] says, this is a timing issue - i.e. the FUSE logic has a hole in it that faster or slower execution avoids - changing the filesystem could well be expected to change the behaviour because the timings involved in card access are different for each type of file system.

I'm off home and will be attempting to play music for the entire hour and a half journey using my newly exFAT-formatted card. I'll report back when I get there.

[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hyperbaric:
Hi all,

Did a search on this, but hoping to prompt some new info on this.

While using my XDA2, running the latest WM5 from TofC via Buzzdev.net, with Tomtom it froze. Nothing too unusual with that, but this time the usual remedy of soft resetting it left it stuck at the splash screen. Same thing happend after removing the battery for a short while. I left the battery in, with it stuck at the splash screen, and the device became quite warm (as though it was working overtime).

Afterwards, I tried removig the battery again and then hard resetting. A couple of times, I have go it to boot MOSTLY, but the backlight will not come on (yep, I have checked the settings) and there are no sounds. Also, when it goes into stand-by, it wouldn't switch back on again.

I have since tried reflashing it with the WM5 rom (stuck at splash screen again), and flashing with the official O2 rom / radio (still stuck at splash screen).

From what I have read, it might be a battery problem, but I have tried charging the battery fully (in the cradle, not in the PDA) and nothing.

The battery I am using is a replcement from Ebay, the original is with a friend so not available for another few days.

Any fresh ideas most welcome!
[MDA II, XDA II, 2060 General] Hyperbaric:
Well, didn't expect too many replies :roll:

But academic anyway, because the 'brick' is fixed!!! After leaving the battery out overnight (not for the first time, I hasten to add) the XDA2 has decided to boot :D

It now has an XDA2s version on WM2003 (just thought I'd try it). Pretty sure though the issue wasn't ROM related, because it had been freezing at the same point with this new ROM.

So, anyone with the same problem on their device should not give up hope!
[Kindle Fire HDX 7" & 8.9" Accessories] endo689:
How's it going everyone?

Back with a review of another case I recently picked up from Amazon for the Kindle HDX 8.9!

I recently reviewed the Otterbox for our awesome tablets and after having used it for about two weeks now I have begun to think that it may add a little too much bulk. Thus I began searching for a thin and light case (which completely ignores why I had picked up the Otterbox in the first place). Moving on, I came across Fintie's newly released Leather Slim Shell case which is currently going for $5.99 if you are a Prime account holder otherwise it goes for $37.99 regular priced.

The case itself is very well made and feels durable. The cover has three indentations that run from top to bottom which allows it to be folded into a triangle for propping your tablet at two varying angles. Also the cover incorporates a magnet which keeps it closed and not flapping open wildly (it does not support a sleep/awake function when opening and closing like similar cases of this variety). The inside of the cover is lined with a micro fiber felt for keeping the screen clean and dust free which is always nice. When you snap your tablet in all four corners are protected but the left and right sides with ports are exposed. Wish one of these slim cases would actually incorporate an all around shell for better protection. Seeing as how this doesn't offer the greatest protection but doesn't add much weight or bulk to the Kindle HDX 8.9 I give this case an overall 4 out 5 stars.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
I'm trying to control my Nexus 4 using adb commands from computer, but when I type in adb shell and then su on command prompt I can't click "yes" on the dialog box to enable superuser permissions. How can I do this?
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sauveur:
For anyone having the same problem, I found a solution. You'll need USB Debugging for most of this.

-Download a program called MyMobiler to your PC

-Connect your phone via usb and use MyMobiler on the pc toolbar to install the app on the phone

-You'll need to grant superuser permissions if your phone is rooted, so in order to do that you'll need to use adb commands from the Android SDK. Open up a command prompt in the platform-tools folder once you've downloaded SDK

-To get past the lock screen use commands from this link. For me (I don't have a pin or anything, I just needed to get out of the lock screen), I typed "adb shell input keyevent 22" to swipe right to the camera app and then "adb shell input keyevent 3" to hit the home button, which got me to my home screen. If you have a pin, you can type in "adb shell input text 1234" and replace 1234 with whatever your pin is

-Now you can control your screen using the commands on the link above (mainly numbers 19-23)

-If all is running correctly (and you have granted superuser permissions to let MyMobiler run on your phone), you can use the arrow keys to navigate throughout the phone

-If you have any problems, you should follow the MyMobiler start guide

I also followed this guide for help. He uses the app androidscreencast, but that didn't work for me, so I went with MyMobiler.
[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lchiu7:
I visit the US regularly and always pop my trusty TMO SIM into my current phone and take advantage of the data plan to make SIP calls and get over the 100 minutes limit.

I might use one of Vonage, Google Voice Callback (with a Callcentric SIP account as the callback number) Localphone or GrooveIP.

This worked fine on my last trip in August last year on my GN.

This time I found I could not make any SIP calls over the 3G network (no LTE because my phone is the international version of the N5). Calls would be placed only to be greeted with silence and GV callback would never call me back. The only method that worked was GrooveIP but apparently that's going to stop soon because of the way Google manages some API with Google Voice.

All the processes worked fine over WiFi.

Just to check I tried my daughter's N4 on the same plan and she could make all those calls without any problem.

I see TMO has blocked tethering on the N5 which can be overcome through Root and modifying some file but does anybody know if TMO has also blocked SIP calls on the N5 also?

Might have to take my GN with me next time as my US phone and keep the N5 with the home SIM card in it.

Thanks

Hi all,

First off, get the laughs out the way. Not posted on here before but used the forum a lot over the past year or so and i desperatley need someones help.

Long story short.

1) Currently i can only access CMR 6.0.3.2

2) I have no ROM available on int SD due to doing a system wipe while flashing Cyanogenmod 11 nightly which failed due to Status 7 error ( did not think this error would happen!)

3) My PC & Laptop will not recognise the S3 through USB despite all correct drivers being correct.

4) CMR will not let me mount the 8GB ext SD card. I have tried formatted to NTSC and Fat 32 and both not mounting, get the mount error message.

To sum it up, im fooked. I cannot access the int SD to drop a ROM on it and cannot access the Ext SD card through recovery which DOES have a ROM on it.

Do any ofyou fantastic people have any idea what i can do apart from dress it up nicely and make an ornament out of it?
