Yeah, I have that google keyboard as well for the new L skin. I wonder why keyboards have this effect. I remember the swiftkey on did this for a while on the G2. Well as long as I know that is causing it I might be able to live with it for now. It's just not knowing which was getting to me.

Hi!

I can't find anything for your device on XDA. I'm afraid the more obscure the phone, the harder it is to find any development.... Or there is none.

You can try asking here though...

Good luck. ?

thanks for you time. keep on looking :rolleyes:

I'm sorry, but there simply might not be any.

Good luck!

[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senel:
Hi,

currently I am thinking about swithing from N7 2012 (grouper) to 8.4 (non-LTE) and I am little bit scared from what I read here or on any other sites...

I read lot about lags, poor performance, these problems were slightly mentioned even in reviews. But when I am reading here how many problems 8.4 user`s have I am thinking of buying Shield Tablet.

Can anybody please provide his own opinion on the 8.4 version? :confused: Is really real life performance that bad? - Benchmarks show different things...

Thanks for your replies...
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngambek2003:
I have the 8.4 Tab s and performance wise I think it's good. I haven't noticed any lags. I'm not running anything out of the ordinary though. I don't play games on it. Mostly for media consumption. Battery life has also been good. It can comfortably last a day browsing and watching videos.

Quality control on the other hand I'm not too happy about. This is my third Tab S. The first two had a dead pixel, so I exchanged them. On this one no dead pixel, but there's a pink tint on a slight tilt. It's noticeable when I put the Tab S on a desk for example in portrait orientation. Obviously in that case I would be viewing the device tilted since it would be uncomfortable for me to put my head directly over it over the desk.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senel:
I am afraid of input lags mentioned here on forums. I'd like the tablet for taking notes and mainly consume content.

I am not hardcore gamer, but sometimes I like to play games like FIFA or Autumn Dynasty.

YouTube videos shows pretty good gaming performance and also pretty significant lags in Touchwiz. Are there really that bad or is was solved by update?

I would say it's pretty decent replacement for Nexus 7. Shield tablet also looks good (and has stylus - big plus) but the display and is not as good.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ngambek2003:
TouchWiz has been fine for me. No lag.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Enddo:
I'm not going to pay 5 dollars to test a game for you, but I would be happy to download fifa14 and any other free game to test for you.

I am getting unbearable lag in Simpsons Tapped Out, so I'm curious to know how other games perform on this tablet. Let me know if any games come to mind that you would like me to test out
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senel:
Thank you for your exhaustive post. It gives me pretty good overview over the 8.4 situation and basically confirms my worris. However I`m still tillted towards to buy it.

I read that using 3rd party cases that covers whole back causes back cover deformations. It would be major issue for me if it`s true. Samsung stated that it was SW issue, however many users were complaining about poor plastic used to back cover. So I understand that solution is to OEM cover. Am I right?

And another question: About the year ago Samsung stated that future Exynos 5 power devices (http://www.engadget.com/2013/09/09/samsungs-exynos-5-octa-hmp/) will use 8 cores at same time. This was only mention I found since then. What`s the situation now? Can 8.4 use all 8 cores simultaneously?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukael:
I have not seen any tab affected by the back cover issues. The quality of the back on mine looks excellent, and feels great.

I personally use the official book cover. It's a little bit heavy, but extremely slim and nicely hardened. Once in position, it has a strong grip on the tab and becomes an efficient support with multiple viewing angles.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stupid1337deer:
Hey man, I have the SM-T700 rooted and with the SkyHigh kernel, OCed to 2.1GHz, and UVed and it's fully stable, as well and runs cool. I absolutely love it. Build quality is very good, feels solid but light. For me, everything is perfect! It runs games and all apps incredibly. The smoothness of the touch input is the 2nd thing I noticed were very good. The first was the ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL display! I could hardly spot a single pixel from 2 Inches away!! The colors are brilliantly vibrant! I would definitely recommend it for any and all uses. I can't find a single flaw!(and I've tried to!) The book cover case is also very nice, sturdy, and feels good in your hand! Definitely a great choice! Excells in performance and beauty!

---------- Post added at 01:18 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:15 AM ----------

I take my tablet everywhere! And I have no issues with battery life! Real life performance for me is very good! No hangs or lags with touchwiz for me.

---------- Post added at 01:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 01:18 AM ----------

Yep! The little cores take on smaller tasks while the big ones do the heavy lifting.
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] senel:
Once more, thank you guys for feedback.

Today, I ordered tablet, price was little bit ridiculous in my country - almost $600 for non-LTE variant, lol.

Next problem is cover, Samsung does not sell their`s covers in my country and I dont want to pay another $80 - $120 on ebay for Samsung book cover or flip cover.

Can somebody recommend me good cover? I am thinking about this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Baseus-Leather-Case-Cover-with-Sleep-function-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-S-8-4-T700-/281400790543?pt=US_Tablet_eReader_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&var=&hash=item4184cb4e0f
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Hi, I recently bought a 2GB MiniSD card for my Treo750v. When I put it into the system it worked fine, I installed some programs and put some music on. Then I left the phone alone for a while and the automatic keylock came on. When I returned to the phone and activated it from keylock the sound that is played when removing the card was heard and it reported that there was no card installed when there clearly was. To return the card to working order i had to remove and re-insert it. After that it was fine until keylock came back on and the same thing happened again!

Anyone got any ideas on why this is doing what it is doing!

Point to note, the card works perfectly in an HP device running WM5 and my Digital Camera!
[Palm Treo 750] Jim Ill:
I am starting to think this is a "problem" with the Treo because mine does the same with a 512mb card. Sometimes it wont be "seen" by the PDA but not a problem when put in my other pda.......

Jim
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
I get the same thing, also with a 2 gig card. But it happens only every other day or so. Still very annoying. Have no clue why this is happening.
[Palm Treo 750] durian:
I had the same trouble, too. But the trouble has already disappeared by replacement of 2GB mini SD to 1GB mini SD.

Remainning problem is that Spb pocket plus still cannot get application icons on storage card.
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
Went to a Vodafone store today and told them about the issue. They said it is a known issue and was a problem on a couple devices. They said if I would bring the box and invoice, they would exchange the device. Will do that in the next few days. Hope that solves it.
[Palm Treo 750] terryrocks:
I have the same problem with my 512mb card and my 2Gig card. But I am in the U.S. and cant bring it in to Vodafone. Does anyone know what else can be done?
[Palm Treo 750] jonolim:
I should've did some homework and checked this forum before jumping on my 2GB which I bought 3 days ago. 'doh... I have the same issue here... except in the midst of playing with it, inserting and removing etc... all the data got corrupted. I have to figure out how to reformat the whole card.

Hopefully, there's a software fix later.
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Hey

Thanks guys n gals for ur help!

magxs I might have to do the same!!!

Oh bum, silly silly smartphones! I just want something that works!
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
I've also been having problems with my Treo 750v and the miniSD card (2GB SanDisk Ultra II).

When I insert the card, the Treo sees it and can run programs that are installed on it. When I return the Treo after it has been off for a while the card is no longer recognised and the memory manager claims that no storage card is installed. At this point all I can do is either take the card out and reinsert it, or otherwise to a soft reset. The time it takes for the Treo to loose its connection to the card varies; sometimes I can turn it on after a few minutes and the card is gone, sometimes it still works after a couple of hours.

When I came across this discussion yesterday, I phoned up Vodafone and reported my issue. According to the customer service rep, this is not on their list of known issues but he agreed to an exchange anyway. I'll get the new device today. I hope that'll fix it, but by now have my doubts.

Someone else suggested formatting the SD card, citing issues with FAT16 vs FAT32. I might try that if the new Treo still suffers the same issue.

In another thread on this topic, someone reported that such an issue was observed on some other PPC device and was fixed by a ROM upgrade. I emailed Palm about it. Palm eventually got back to me today saying:

Either that's a lame excuse, or they're trying to force people into buying their overpriced own branded accessories by making their hardware incompatible with the industry standard. Unless SanDisk don't know how to make miniSD cards...

I guess my next step - after the reformatting - will be to throw £60 at a Palm branded storage card; I don't expect that would work any better than my current card, but at least then Palm can't argue that I'm using "unsupported hardware".
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
I exchanged my Treo yesterday at a different Vodafone store. The people there didn't know anything about SD card issues either, but they exchanged it anyway. Have been running the new device for about 24 hrs now and no issues, yet. But even on the first device, the problems only started later and even then it wasn't an everyday occurrence. So, I will need to watch it a bit longer.
[Palm Treo 750] yannick:
new rom

Have you tried loading the Cingular ROM and see if it fixes this problem?
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
After two full days with my new Treo, the SD card was lost again over night. So, it doesn't seem to be an issue that just a few devices were affected by. Too bad....

I didn't try any other ROMs yet.
[Palm Treo 750] bsuccess1:
I have the Cingular ROM, and have the same exact problem.
[Palm Treo 750] promexx:
hi,

i am new to this board and hope you dont mind my bad english. i am from germany and proud owner of a treo 750v :)

and i tell you what: i am so glad i am not alone with the storage card problem.

it was nearly making me mad.

now i know that there are a lot of other people with the same problem. that may not solve it but gives me a better feeling an hope for an update which solves that.

PS: i use a 1gb sandisk
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Well It's working

:) I bought another MiniSD card the other day, a 512Mb Kingston one, and so far so good, it works well (about 5 days now) and has not been "lost" so far! Not sure if it's the size of card or the make or what but I will keep investigating this!

Hope you resolve your issues!!

A
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
What kind of card did you have issues with?

I get the feeling the this might be related to specific cards. To find out: please everybody state which card you are using and if you have problems.

I'm using Sandisk Ultra II 2GB and it's dropping out.

Thanks
[Palm Treo 750] promexx:
i am using sandisc (normal) 1 gb and have the problems.
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Card Type

Mine was a generic 2GB card bought on EBAY :p but the one that is working now is a Kingston 512MB card. The Generic 2GB works perfectly in my Digital camera. There are no Identifying marks on the 2GB card sadly so Cannot say for sure who makes it!
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
I'm also using a SanDisk Ultra II 2GB, and it's getting dropped regularly.
[Palm Treo 750] magxs:
Sounds like SanDisk is the one to blame.

But would be good to have more reports before we all go out buying new cards. Keep em coming...
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Indeed ur right magxs, I have a feeling that most generic cards are actually made by SanDisk but I might be wrong (someone correct me if I am). I have e-mail the palm support people but as of now I am still awaiting a reply :(
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
i've got a generic 2gb card - same problems. i've mailed palm support - waiting for an answer.
[Palm Treo 750] Rutra87:
I have a Patriot 2gb card, and i have the same issue.

It only happens after the treo goes to sleep. I had windows media player repeating a playlist for 8 hours on speakerphone and all those songs are on the card. It seems like a power saving feature gone wrong.
[Palm Treo 750] mackangus:
Hi all,

Got my 750 a week ago, with a SanDisk (ordinary) 1Gb ~ no issue so far.

Just to cause confusion though, I was having exactly this problem with the same card in my Wizard (branded an O2 XDA Mini S, but currently the ROM tells me its a QTEK 9100). Belated thanks to machinagod et al for that little trick!
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
I emailed Palm Support on this issue a few weeks ago. They responded with the question whether I'd be able to try a Palm branded card in my Treo to see if that would resolve the issue.

As I don't have access to one, I didn't do this; but now I'm wondering whether it could in fact be an issue with specific SD cards and whether I should part with my money on Palm card - after all, they are about 40% more expensive...

[cynic mode on]

Could this be an attempt by Palm to force customers into buying branded accessories?

[cynic mode off]
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
I suppose to could be a sleep mode issue :S

Anyone had this issue without it going to standby?
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
Not sure it's a specific attempt to get us to buy Palm specific cards, but I am sure all the Phone/email drones are told to tell us that!

Damn Corporate policy
[Palm Treo 750] mackangus:
Andrew,

If this is a Palm issue, how can it affect the HTC Wizard? If you look at the various device threads (I have a Wizard and a Tornado) both have been known to suffer from the same problem.

This isn't Palm, its buddy Bill G over at MS...

Cheers

Angus
[Palm Treo 750] andrewwardlaw:
I was only saying that the Palm phone drones were told to tell us to buy the palm branded cards, not that it was exaclty a "Palm" specific issue. It is obviously a software thing but under whos remit does the fixes and patches come?>?????
[Palm Treo 750] Rutra87:
I doubt its a windows mobile issue. A friend of mine has the Samsung i730 and his card never dissapears. Of course he has an SD, but will Mini SD really confuse the OS that much? Also the fact that another HTC product has the same problem only leads me to further believe that Palm is at fault here.
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
here's a reply from Palm technical support:

"Thank you for contacting Palm Technical Support.

It´s an isolated problem."

so apparently this is not a common issue???
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
:eek:

I'm paraphrasing: "Yup, you got a problem, but you're the only one so stuff you."

Is that it? That's their entire response? A bit on the terse side, I'd have thought. I'd expect at least a suggestion to resolve the issue.
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
that was the whole response (by email) - oh, and a reminder to register the 750V.
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
Well, I decided to take the plunge and follow Palm's advice to get one of their own SD cards. Fingers crossed...

At least, if that one fails too they can't shift the blame to someone else. Well, they probably can, but I'd like to stay optimistic.
[Palm Treo 750] patmannyc:
Definitely a WM issue. You cannot have ANYTHING trying to access the card when the phone is asleep. NOTHING. This is why I recommend leaving IE cache on the device, ringtones, EMAIL ATTACHMENTS (very important IMO), today plugins, etc. And if Media player is running when the phone goes to sleep, playing songs off the card, you will get these issues also. Set the phone's power settings to turn backlight off, but NOT power off at all. Then change it when you are done.

That being said, I am very surprised that you cannot format the card. Doesn't make sense
[Palm Treo 750] Rutra87:
Pat, thats just the thing. While playing music when the phone sleeps the music keeps playing just fine. I've been playing music on my treo everynight for hours at a time and never had an issue. When i turn windows media player off, and the phone sleeps then the issue appears again.
[Palm Treo 750] patmannyc:
It may be because since Media Player is running, your phone really isn't SLEEPING, the screen is just off. So the connection between card and phone is never lost. When your phone does sleep, you're losing your card and something is looking for it, freezing the device. I have no idea what that is, obviously I do not know whats on your device, but try and figure out what it could be.
[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
I have tried two different cards on the Treo 750v. A noname 2GB I bought on eBay has the unmounting problem, i.e. it unmounts itself whenever Treo goes to sleep and needs to be reinserted to remount. I then tried an AData 1GB card, and tried to insert, put to sleep and reawaken the treo a few times, and it seems to work flawlessly.

So either WM has problems with the unbranded card, or it has problems with 2GB cards.

I know this doesn't help much, but hopefully it is a piece of info which might help solving this damn problem ;)
[Palm Treo 750] georgedorn:
same here: a 1gb card works fine, a 2gb card is not recognized anymore, sometimes after a few minutes, sometimes after hours. it' s a 2gb card issue. i' ll try an original palm 2gb card next week. if the palm card works fine it is an 2gb unbranded card issue :-)
[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
I forgot to add that I tried those same 1GB and 2GB cards on one of those square-screen HP phones, and both worked flawlessly...
[Palm Treo 750] Rutra87:
Any updates?
[Palm Treo 750] georgedorn:
Original Palm 2GB card works fine

Yesterday I got my 2GB miniSD card original from Palm. This card is working fine! No issues as with unbranded 2GB cards.

The card is available at the Palm webstore. If you register your Treo online you get a welcome email with a 30% discount to your first order at the webstore. So you can buy it to an affordable price. Nevertheless it's a shame that SanDisk 2GB cards are not working fine on the Treo. Don' t know why, seems that Palm wants to force their own 2 GB cards.
[Palm Treo 750] etriess:
I have a 1gb IO-data card, been using it for 3 weeks haven't had an issue yet, sounds like a 2gb problem.
[Palm Treo 750] terryrocks:
I have a 512mb Ritek card and a 2GB no named brand (got it off of ebay) and both are experiencing the same problem. I went ahead and ordered the 1GB palm card. I hope that resolves the issue - though if it does it will piss me off that i had to go through three cards to get it to work
[Palm Treo 750] terryrocks:
I went ahead and bought a 1GB card from Palm and so far it's working with no problems. However, I don't think this issue is related to the capacity of the card but that it's related to the card itself
[Palm Treo 750] terryrocks:
omg it looks like i spoke to soon.

I just tried my PDA and the storage card programs are gone again until i take teh card out and put it back in.
[Palm Treo 750] terryrocks:
Fredk, what email address at Palm did you email for support?
[Palm Treo 750] Rutra87:
Terry, thanks for that bit of news..I hope Palm can give another answer now that we have tried their card.
[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
Does anyone know if there is some sort of mount utility like the omonimous command in unix? It might be interesting to know if the "disappeared" sd card can be remounted via software instead of opening lid, extracting card, reinserting, closing lid, which can be annoying and in the long therm damage the lid
[Palm Treo 750] l44wsn:
Card Issue..

I have the same problem as everybody else which is that the SD Card socket seems to go to sleep if it is not used for a prolonged period of time..

The way I have got around this is by using Resko Explorer and opening a folder on the card, This will keep the Treo's connection to the card alive and stop the unit rom letting the card socket go to sleep..
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
this is interesting - i've just noticed that i've had my 2mb card with TomTom installed since saturday and I haven't lost the connection when the phone's gone to sleep - over 5 days. Looks like l44wsn is on to something except you don't need Resco Explorer.
[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
This does not work here. Here's what I did:

- make sure card is mounted and accessible

- open resco explorer

- enter a folder on the storage card

- switch to today screen, resco explorer is still open in background in the storage card folder

- push red button to send treo to sleep

when i turn it on again, after a few seconds i hear the card unmounting sound. if i now go to resco explorer, i can still see the storage card folder, but only for a few seconds. then the application freezes for a few instants and the storage card folder disappears...
[Palm Treo 750] CRP:
i made some further experiments, entering applications that access the storage card, letting the treo go to sleep and then see what happens to the card upon reactivating the unit.

Resco: 6 tries, card was lost 6 times

TomTom6: 3 tries, card was lost 2 times

so much...
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
for your further edification......

here's a very helpful reply from palm Technical Support:

Thank you for contacting Palm Technical Support.

Your case number is x-xxxxxxxx.

Please not that it´s not any SD card that is 100% compactible with our devices. I think the cards you have are not co problemfrei compactible. Please visit our website and get those placed there. They are guaranteed to function with your unit.
[Palm Treo 750] mikechadwick:
2 days later and still haven't needed to reset the phone - using a straight forward generic 1mb card (just realised - it's a 1mb card not 2mb!!).
[Palm Treo 750] cjmedina:
i dont have any of those problems using my trancend 2 gig card
[Palm Treo 750] fredkf:
Palm branded card does not solve problem

Following the advice from Palm I purchased one of their branded 2GB miniSD cards.

I had been using a SanDisk Ultra II miniSD card (also 2GB), and hoped that this might resolve the problems I've been having with the card reader "going to sleep" and reporting wrongly that no card was installed.

No such luck. The problem persists.

So where does this leave us (i.e. myself and everyone else who's got this problem)?
