[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
I've been giving this issue some thought, and did a little research (probably not enough to talk authoritatively, though ;)). I've come up with the following observations:

This issue appears to have surfaced with Kit Kat.

Wiith Kit Kat, Google made some significant changes to the handling of external/removable SD-cards; no more direct write access to them from applications.

A lot of media player applications were "broken" by KitKat and needed to be redesigned to support the new restrictions.

The standard protocol for moving files to the removable SD-card is now MTP.

Which raises the following questions, at least for me:

Does this mean that MTP is the protocol for accessing MP3/media files from player apps, and therefore there's now an arbitrator/server in between the filesystem and media players?

Now that direct write access to SD-cards has been restored via an edit to /system/etc/permissions/platform.xml, is there a chance that an older MP3 player may have better luck playing MP3 files, given that it would probably use direct filesystem access vs. going through MTP (if in fact MTP is used for "new" applications)?
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NoFanboy:
So it's not just me? It doesn't happen as often for me after the ota
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] broprah:
You're doing god's work, man. It would certainly make sense if mtp was the reason behind all of this, as mtp is generally broken and incapable of parallel tasks. Perhaps, then, there is some kind of operation that the OS is performing at fairly regular intervals that disrupt what should otherwise be a simple read. Media scanning? Entropy generation? I'm not really sure, but clearly there is something silly going on in the I/O. Maybe a programmer like [MENTION=2239484]SSuk[/MENTION]k could shed light on this
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] csstamatin:
I think part of the problem is the amount of storage on the larger cards, and/or the fact that they're just not fast enough . My 64g card is a ultra and has problems. I bought one of the faster extreme pros and have never had any problems even when fully loaded. It's only 16g though. When the larger cards get faster speeds well see this disappear entirely.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
A microSDHC card doesn't have to be very fast to keep up with the demands of playing MP3s. MP3 players were using much slower flash memory 10+ years ago without glitches or skipping.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
I think you're onto something. I'd love to get some input from someone who understands the nuts and bolts of media playback in Android.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] NotATreoFan:
I have Google Music playing from the cloud on occasion, but most of my playlists are cached to SD. I don't use anything to modify output other than leaving BoomSound on, and I've not run into this glitch with headphones or Bluetooth,
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] DPArnety:
Bump!! Wanna see more answers to this question! Haven't put MP3s on my phone yet but already installed a 64 GB card for the intentions on doing so!
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
Had mine in airplane mode for a while this morning as I was traveling to NYC. If anything, the glitches seemed to occur more often. I don't think they were predictable enough to say with authority that airplane mode was related, though.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] broprah:
Just curious, how are everyone's cards formatted? My 64gb is fat32, apparently. I suspect this to be a problem, even though it wasn't on other devices. However, I'd like to see if we all have that in common before I reformat and have transfer 60 gigs of music back over...
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
I didn't format mine after installing it, and I'll bet it came formatted as ExFat. I'll see if I can find a way to verify and report back.
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] broprah:
I used this to figure out how I was formatted: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.sylkat.AParted
[Verizon HTC One (M8)] Dodge DeBoulet:
Mine's definitely ExFAT.

On a related note . . .

I was sitting in the Stage Door Diner at 33rd and 8th Ave this evening (no, that doesn't really have anything to do with this issue, but it injects a little bit of local color into the story . . . I live in Maine, but I love NYC :D), browsing XDA on my M8 while stuffing my face. For no apparent reason that I could see, a toast popped up with "Preparing SD Card." Now, I wasn't doing anything specific that would be accessing the SD card; as I said, I was just doing a bit of web browsing. But I thought that toast normally displayed only when the phone was booted and/or plugged into a computer via USB (and nowadays, with MTP being the default transfer mechanism to the SD card, it normally isn't seen then). But it looks like some process was doing something that caused the SD card to be "prepared," whatever that means, and since my music is on it, I'm suspecting it might have an effect on playback if it occurs when listening to MP3s.

Has anyone else noticed this symptom during normal usage?
[Testing] Aceking95:
Hi! I've a problem! I've published this game some day ago:

I got some downloads and i got 3 reports that explain a bug that I can't reproduce! When you start the game, in the main screen there are the timer that doesn't count seconds. When you select levels, the screen remains dark. In the endless mode the game is slow! I need a logcat, I'm pretty sure there is an exception but I can't reproduce it. The 3 reports are based on a:

- Xperia U, Android 4.1.2

- Galaxy S Advance, Android 2.3.6

- Xperia P, Unknown android version

- There could be other models that reproduce the bug...

Please, try my game, if you encounter this bug, send me a logcat...

Here is some screenshoots with the problem:

Thank you very much! :D

[One (M8) Accessories] traum88:
Hi guys! Couple of days ago I had a very bad day. Recently I received my order containing M8 (delivery from USA to Russia) and for less than 1 week I managed to damage this device. It just fell down out of my chest pocket when I stooped to feed a cat living in the factory shop where I work. It bumped against concrete with left top corner. It was not in case unfortunately cause the case is still in delivery. As result I have now cracked screen. But! As far as I understand only superficial layer is cracked - Gorilla Glas. The screen itself seems to be ok. The device is fully functioning. Hence it`s only visual shortcoming. Nevetherless it is very unpleasant. I inquired in the nearest oficial service center about the possibility to repair it, but they even don`t have spare parts, which are expected only in June. And the price for screen replacement will make about 10000 Rubles - it`s about 280 dollars - too much only for screen replacement for me. I haven`t found spare parts on ebay as well. Could you maybe help me some way...

Does anybody happen to know, if and where I can buy spare screen for M8 now? How do you think will it appear later on ebay?

Or is it possible to insert a screen with same dimensions but from another smartphone?

And the last one question, how do you think, would it be possible to separate by myself superficial gorilla glas layer from the main screen without damaging it?

Thanks a lot guys and have a nice day. And I hope my English is understandable for you.
[One (M8) Accessories] h3ck:
I don't know how they enforce the HTC Advantage Program in Russia, but HTC offers a free screen replacement if it happens within the first 6 months. Have you checked on that?

[One (M8) Accessories] Win_Wizard:
No screens are sold so soon also it is extremely difficult to repair this phone according to ifixit
[One (M8) Accessories] traum88:
I never heard about this Advantage programm to be honest. But in the official service center they indicated price about 280 dollars. I guess it means that the programm is not available in Russia. However I bought it in USA. Now I`m going to get in touch with the seller from ebay, where I bought it. Maybe he would help me...

HTC Advantage Program
[One (M8) Accessories] grentuu:
As the seller is in the US he/she should be able to use the advantage program.

best of luck!
[One (M8) Accessories] traum88:
thanks! I asked in HTC USA online chat support and got the answer, that ebay is not an authorized HTC seller, so the phone is not covered by the Advantage Programm. Screen Replacement would cost for me about 220 dollars. Rather pricey...
[One (M8) Accessories] grentuu:
Yes but the seller from Ebay must have bought from an authorised dealer - surely they can get it repaired for you for a small fee?
[One (M8) Accessories] h3ck:
I know that is probably a stretch, but I would have to agree. If the seller is willing and able, you could probably ship to them. Have them get it fixed and then give them a fee for having the free replacement done for you. However, you would have to trust them enough to do this for you. Also, the cost of shipping back and forth and the fee of the seller would have to be less than the $220 or it may not be worth it. Good luck and sorry this happened.
[One (M8) Accessories] reeco:
I also need new speaker grills. Can't find any at the moment.
[One (M8) Accessories] traum88:
try to check on ebay. At least screen replacement is already available.
[One (M8) Accessories] ashyt16:
Send it to HTC repair center, it will be cheaper than you think. I had my screen including lcd assembly, back cover and speaker grills repaired for £103 or $170..
[One (M8) Accessories] jvarzim:
Have you tried sparesworldmobile.com, they are europe based and ship to russia for what i saw. I think they also have tech support if you ask then for the costs perhaps it fits your needs.

[Fairphone 1] siribillo:
Hi all,

on my FP1 (nice phone!) I'm no more abled to have root access. For example, ES file explorer does't go into Root Explorer mode, DiskUsage does't show Root required folders (it shows: java.lang.RuntimeException: Error: no more data message). In Superuser log:

Superuser --> Enable;

Titanium backup --> Deny;

and no more.

FairphoneOS doesn't ask me (as it should) about app su request: no dialog appair.

If I try to issue su command in terminal I get "Permisson denied" message.

Can anyone help me?

Thank you a lot

Piero
[Fairphone 1] Hyst:
Did you by any chance activate the "deceleration needed" (or something like that) setting in the superuser settings. It is the second checkbox from above.

If it is activated and the app does not declare that it needs superuser rights it won't get any.

[Fairphone 1] robin_h:
Hi Hyst,

I'm currently having similar problems. I tried looking in the superuser settings and trying what you suggested, but no luck unfortunately.

Here is a summary of how I got to this stage:

I have recently being trying to transfer my data from my old Samsung Galaxy S4 to my FP1, using Titanium Backup. FP1 is running stock android, not the FP OS.

Unfortunately this caused issues when I tried to restore my apps and settings using Titanium Backup, resulting in the FP hanging when it got to the lock screen. I suspect this may be because of some Samsung settings that were not compatible. I did get a error message saying one of the settings files had not worked properly, but I couldn't find a way of identifying which one. I then restarted the phone as prompted by Titanium Backup, and it wouldn't get past the lock screen.

Due the phone hanging, I had to do a hard reset of the phone, following the instructions on the FP website. However, when I now run Titanium Backup it reports that it could not acquire root privileges when attempting to use "...the "/system/bin/su" command"

I've tried reinstalling both the original FP OS and stock android from the SD card, but I get an 'installation aborted' error message. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

I transitioned from the Palm system to the MDA and I must admit that its a lot more complicated. Before I used Agendus on my Palm and for my Windows Desktop and everything was so smooth and easy. Now Im forced to use the ugly, clunky interface of Outlook which I hate. I tried Pocket Informant 2005 and found it overly complicated too.

What do you guys feel is the best PIM for your MDA that is not overly complicated? Also, what PIM do you use on your desktop? Is it possilbe to sync the Pocket PC avoiding the use of Outlook and Activesync, basically any Microsoft product?

Any info much appreciated,

Hanguo laohu
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] blaster_boy:
I prefer Pocket Informant, altough I agree that it can become overly complicated and cluttered, however I find it good enough, and loads better than the default offering.

And since my work forces me to use outlook, I am stuck with outlook on the desktop...
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] hanguolaohu:
Pocket Informant

I tried Pocket Informant and found that it runs SLOW on my MDA. Plus, I didn't feel like reading the 100 page manual so I never really understood how to use it. Another thing I hated was it sucked for one handed dialing.

HL
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] bittermormon:
if you go to the PI website's forum, theres a post telling you to change your contacts softkey to go to teh default contacts page. This makes the best of both worlds for me. PI for calendar/tasks and default for dialing.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] iclick:
I've used PI for two years, first on my Ipaq and now on the MDA, and find it better than Outlook. It is complex and after reading the manual I was amazed at how much functionality they've crammed into a PPC program.

The problem is that after reading it, unless you use these features frequently there is no way you'll remember them all. Even so, its functionality is intuitive enough for me and I'm happy with it.

HL, you can use it for one-handed dialing by enabling the "ABC Tab Bar," which allows you to scroll through the alphabet with the left and right buttons, and up and down the list with the up and down buttons. Outlook works like this too, IIRC. I find it works fine, and to simplify it I have set my most-used contacts to a filter and set the filter as the default. So, instead of a few hundred contacts to scroll through I only have several dozen.

I've put the most-used of this group in Speed Dial, too.
[8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario General] mabco:
PIM

Well, if you feel PI is too slow. I suggest Agenda Fusion scrolling through contacts for example is as fast as it can be with the Left/Right = PgUp/PgDn.
