People have been reporting problems with corruption and losing files on memory cards, particularly 2GB ones.

I am having the same problem with a PQI 2GB bought from Fry's(PLU# 5044075 and P/N: AE62-2030R01F4) in Houston, TX.

When I try to download something from an FTP Client to the storage card, it fails and when I leave stuff on it, it becomes corrupt and stuff disappears. Also, when transferring files over FTP, it moves at about 5-8 KBps.

I took my roommate's 64MB PQI from his Sidekick III and it worked like a charm. It was as follows.

1 Head

1 Cylinder

Type: FAT12

Sector: 512 Bytes

Cluster Size: 16 KB

BackupFAT: Yes

I used Pocket Mechanic(amazing interface) and Resco which is great and clean as well! Thank you for the recommendation. I scanned my card for bad sectors and they were all good.

This morning I used my co-workers SanDisk 1GB card and downloaded files from my FTP at 22KBps over EDGE which blew my mind. Furthermore, they weren't corrupted. His file system was FAT32.

My conclusion is that it isn't the formatting options, but the PQI cards and the old motto of "You get what you pay for". I am going to have to break down and buy another card which I really didn't want to do, but it's obvious that SanDisk clearly holds it's weight in these devices.

Thanks to everyone who made recommendations and turned me on to some great apps in the process. I'll update this when I get my new card and let you guys know how it went. Thanks again for being a great community!

EDIT: Could people without problems with a 2GB Post the following info to help those trying to buy a card?

I know, but the stat was there so I included it in case someone got a different value reported back to them...

Correct, but there may still be logical heads and cylinders for backwords compatibility with some OSes or software.

I dont know about the case with SD cards, but CF cards can be directly connected to an IDE bus and emulate an HD.

[General Questions and Answers] bethnesbitt:
Could somebody point me to an actual law that says it is illegal in the USA and and that it could be, for example, up to 20 years imprisonment or a $5,000 fine, if I changed my IMEI from my broken Verizon device to my unbroken Straighttalk device?

This is a debate that a friend of mine have been going through, and well I can't seem to find the correct answer, not even on here. Everybody is saying it is illegal on XDA, but nobody has actually posted a link to an actual law, just this bill that was submitted into congress, which is not really the answer, it's a bill, where is it shown that it has been already passed along with the penalty?

Here is an example of my isue, just recently bought a phone from Irulu, Chinese phone. It has no IMEI number but when I dial #66# says to write IMEI number. Now everybody is saying it is ilegal to change your IMEI number, but how do you get an IMEI munber if you don't have one? Do I call, for example, T-Mobile and they will give me one? SOme companies even want the serial number along with the IMEI number, well my serial number is something like "0123456789ABCDEF", now how does that fly with a company?

Also, everybody is saying it is illegal to change the IMEI number according to this bill, which is a bill introduced by to congress that, unless somebody point me in the right direction, has not been submitted into a actual law yet.

Also the bill says "This Act may be cited as the `Mobile Device Theft Deterrence Act of 2012". Okay, well my phone is not stolen and if you look closely at this part of the "Bill":

`(1) the term `manufacturer' means a person who has lawfully obtained the right to assign a mobile device identification number to a mobile device before the initial sale of the mobile device;

and then here:

`(d) Exception- Subsection (b) shall not apply to the manufacturer of a mobile device or a person who repairs or refurbishes a mobile device unless the manufacturer or person knows that the mobile device or part involved is stolen.'.

Okay now, I have two verizon phones and two AT&T phones, that I own, that are not stolen, all are broken, then I have a a ZTE merit phone that works just fine, but I do not want to go with straight talk because I live hour away from walmart, which is the only place to purchase minutes, unless you have a credit card, which I do not and I am not going to pay an extra $5 a month for a reloadable card just to put minutes on my phone.

So my question is, according to those two lines, I am refurbishing my phone, it is not stolen and I just want to transfer one IMEI number to another phone so that I can keep using the same service without going through the hassle of ordering another sim card or buying another phone when I have two here that work and four that do not.

I have seen a few closed threads with people getting really upset about this being brought up, pointing to this bill and assuming the person is asking because, if you read that bill, they want to do this with a stolen phone.
[General Questions and Answers] enapah:
Well, as long as you realize that changing the IMEI of a cellphone is "Patriot Act" material (and you are fine with it), I doubt you will find any law (anywhere) where it will clearly state IMEI.

Maybe the 18 U.S. Code § 1028 may apply (do remember the FCC is an authority and that an identification registered by that authority), or the 18 U.S. Code § 1029 if intent can be proven, but then again... if any trouble arises firstly you wont be charged with any of that, you'll get the "Patriot Act" treatment from the get-go.
[General Questions and Answers] bethnesbitt:
That is just it, stolen, the term stolen is loosely used in this bill, which as far as I can see, hasn't even been passed.

Schumer Introduces Bill to Make Cell Phone ID Tampering a Crime

By Damon Poeter

May 24, 2013 02:03pm EST

3 Comments

The NY Democrat aims to criminalize tampering with mobile device identification numbers as part of an ongoing effort to crack down on the black market for stolen cell phones.

Like I stated in my question, it is my phone, I paid for the phone, went to Walmart, bought the phone and activated it under my name. Discontinued the service, still have the phone. Bought a cheap AT&T phone, used it for a month, ran out of minutes, never got around to buying more minutes, was just a cheap pay as you go phone for emergency, now the number is gone and AT&T has some annoying thing where you have to buy a new sim card. Now using the AT&T phone to charge the battery from the Verizon phone because the Verizon phone's charger port broke, and the battery works in the Verizon phone but the Verizon battery doesn't work in the AT&T phone.

When the term "stolen" comes up, makes me think it means, somebody stole my cell phone or I stole somebody else's cellphone. Not the case, these are my broken or inactive phones, paid for through a manufacturer, not off the street.

As for the patriot act, well lets just say, if that made sense and the US congress did fully understand it, wouldn't rooting or installing new ROM from one service provider to another service provider's phone be an issue as well?

It just seems pretty lame that people are coming in and saying that you will go to jail, then post a bill that isn't even in law that is so vague, without a reasonable explanation or knowledge about what the bill or law actually is, then just closes the thread.

I'm in the US, not the UK.

Hey guys so which firmware is better? I have 10j tried ART but it kept freezing at random points in the day so disabled that but is 10h better than 10j?

Glad im not alone with the random freeze thing. Never experienced it before v10j. Im using dalvik atm tho with that problem.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
I installed 10j here without wiping my 10g. Everything is perfect. In fact I just checked and the phone has been on for 23 hours straight. Perfect in every way. Mine is the 855 16g

I'm happy too with 10j, are you on Dalvik or on ART?
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outofthisworld:
I did the same, been great for 2 days with no restarts or issues of any kind.

Installed 10j using the LG tool but selected the flash option that doesn't wipe data.

Switched to ART yesterday, think I'll keep it, it is definitely smoother.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jagdish84:
You mean normal flash? i thought of trying it as well.
[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] outofthisworld:
Yep Normal flash.

It's the only time I flashed the phone, lost root but then got it back easily. Everything else was in tact, all apps, settings, photos, and I don't have a SD card in the phone.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tntgdh:
Yeah, I'm on art too. After I left dalvik I couldn't go back. No fc, slow downs. Like I said the phone is now perfect. I guess that guys that are having problems with 10j it is probably due to app incompatibility with art.

I wouldn't say that it suffers from lag. With art apps open faster and the battery is awesome. Smoothness is the same I believe. I choose to live without Xposed for now to have a snappier phone.

[G3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MariozPOC:
I am using 10j installed 2,5 days ago over 10i "dirty" way and I am using ART: very smooth and fantastic battery (much better than 10i).

I never had freezes and/or rebooting with ANY firmware, but 10a/10b or so they were very laggy. Now I have a perfect phone.

To judge about battery you need to have at least 2 full charges (IMHO of course) as during the first use the telephone need to "adjust" itself.

Not sure if its a FW issue for sure but I cant think of anything else, might slip back to 10H and test that to see what happens, or just put up with it untill 10K or L or whatever comes next, gotta say I am impressed by LG's speed at kicking out new updates even tho they are essentially very minor upgrades each time and some issues still persist, at least they are trying...

I've had J for 2 days. Seen no issues. No random reboots or shutdowns. Smooth. Battery life so far had been a little worse but I've been using the phone quite heavy over the last 2 days. Willing to give the phone a few more days to adjust.

Installed J this morning over H and while it may be a placebo effect, it does seem to me that J is a bit snappier. I'm not usually one to update to a newer firmware and notice it to be snappier, so that it for what it's worth.

Will see how battery life performs and report back after a few days but H didn't seem to work very well for me. The phone itself lasted about 24 hours, however, the SOT for this period was abysmal - somewhere around 3 hours. I was getting 4-4.5 hrs before with G, though I was turning the radio off at night with G (and haven't taken noticed how many % drained at night on H)... so yeah, take THAT for what it's worth as well.

[Optimus L3, L5, L7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jakemeow:
Hello fellow people...

So, my lovely Android (LG P700) is stuck in a bootloop. So, here's the story of my phone:

1) I bought it and eventually managed to root it.

2) The same day I installed CyanogenMod 10. Everything worked so fine.

3) Later I upgraded to KitKat prime (Based on CM11). Pretty darn fine, but it was laggy like hell.

4) So I decided to downgrade back to CM10. It worked, BUT THEN - it ignored my SIM card completely and when dialed *#06# I found that my IMEI got torn off my phone.

5) So I installed AOKP KitKat. Was REALLY good but it didn't have some crucial-to-me options, so I found somewhat tasty...

6) And I installed the Pac-Man ROM. And something went quite wrong, because it only booted every third time, else it gave black screen, but everything worked really fine. But later, I noticed that Wi-Fi won't turn on, so guess what...

7) AND WHAM! MY WORST MISTAKE! Wait for it... I decided to install the Phenom kernel (Idiot me, it was made for CM10...), TADAA!

8) After the LG icon it gave me 3 random stripes distorted and pink in color. And the recovery is nothing but black screen.

9) So I tried to flash rooted v20d kdz to it... Nope. Only stuck on stock boot animation and the three button combo won't work, no recovery, no black screen, no data wipe option.

10) I used the official KDZ updater... Same sh* as 9).

11) Tried flashing rooted v10k... NOPE, the flasher is throwing the error: WParam: 4, IPARAM:1002.

NOTICE - Yes, I did data/cache/dalvik/system wipes everytime when I upgraded my ROM/changed kernels. I also used GApps every time.

Anyone can help me?

Thanks in advance!

My solution

I had almost the same problem yesterday. My phone could go to emergency mode. If yours too then try this. Download the V20a ROM with root and CMW (it's really important to use this one): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=2214717 (thanks Homero2 so much!),

- Installed the msxml file in the KDZ folder

- Run KDZ_FW_UPD.exe as administrator

- Set it to 3GQCT and DIAG, open the V20a kdz file and press "Launch software update"

- I still got a lparam error, but here's the great thing about this ROM. Even though I still got a bootloop, I MANAGED TO GET INTO RECOVERY! Instructions: Press the power button and the volume - button at the same time. When capacitive buttons turn up, press the menu button. When LG logo appears, release the power button. (REMEMBER: VOLUME "-" BUTTON AND MENU BUTTON NOT HOME....

- Recovery shows up.

- After that, I pushed a downloaded ROM (zip file) to my SD card and installed it via CMW succesfully!

Use CPA rom for p700/005 this time, it bugless and remember to factory data reset.

Hope it helps you!
