The problem is that, in my opinion.

As I' m often changing roms, I don't like to do it every time. Maybe I'm too lazy, I don't know...

I'm sorry, I don't know who you are and I won't you to do something for me. I only asked it because answering me I should known much more theory.

Anyway, your idea is not so bad if is not a big job to do. I'm not into linux world...
[Android General] jnetode:
I think it is doable. But I do not think I am the man for that. I think I could search on how to do it. Maybe init.d could also be a solution, but I really do not know enough about it right now and I do not think I will have the time to search for it this week.

Maybe any good smart soul in this forum could help us? :angel:
[Sprint LG G3] T Spin:
Whenever i am using some sort of tethering software on my sprint g3 i cannot receive phone calls. Pdanet, Easytether, and even wireless tether for root users all had this problem. I know due to sprint spark we aren't capable of using data and voice at the same time, but can't it at least just disconnect you from your data like the good old days? I feel like it's prioritizing your data connection, thus not allowing you to recieve any calls. Ive been told that my phone would ring once, and go straight to voicemail. I'm not even able to see the missed calls unless they leave a voicemail, Heck, nothing even shows up in the call log! If anyone knows of any fix that can solve this problem that would be great. I'm sure many other people are having this issue as well.

I've also noticed that even without tethering if you happen to be using data on your phone at same time someone calling you, you won't receive the call. :eek:
[Sprint LG G3] fgcchevy:
I've noticed this also at times. My brother even drive to my house cause he kept calling and it was going straight to voicemail. I was not tethering, just using data. I wounded if I should give Sprint a call bout this issue.

Sent from my Lg G3
[Sprint LG G3] dodgeboy:
I think this is an unfortunate byproduct of the phone not supporting SVLTE (same as all current spark capable phones). It only has one transmit path, so it cannot connect to 1x when it's connected to LTE. The Sprint network is supposed to tell the phone to disconnect from LTE and connect to 1x when a call is incoming. This is called ECSFB. But in some areas, the network doesn't yet support this feature, so you may miss calls (because as far as Sprint's voice network is concerned, the phone isn't connected). I've read that Sprint is working to get this support to the entirety of their network, but it still isn't complete. Hopefully it will only continue to improve.

Link with a better explanation: http://www.fiercewireless.com/story...upport-simultaneous-voice-and-data/2013-11-19

I haven't noticed this problem, but I'm sure it's happening to me as well. I don't live in a very updated area, as far as Sprint's network is concerned. We don't have 800MHz (because of the IBEZ), and we don't have B26 or B41 LTE yet. Just regular old LTE B25 on most towers.

Hope this helps.

I can't find a topic for fake Samsung EVO cards in particular, so hopefully this helps someone out there.

Recently bought 2 SD cards, 32GB and 64GB Samsung EVO MicroSD cards. Both came from different US sellers off evil-bay.

The 32GB is real while I suspect the 64GB is a fake. I'll note the differences.

•The white on the 64GB card doesn't go all around the edges, it's only on the top surface

•The 64GB card says "made in Taiwan (TW)" with engraved letters, the 32GB card says "made in Korea" with printed white letters

•The colors and graphics on the 64GB package are washed out and a little fuzzy

•I think what really shows the 64GB is a fake is the plastic insert that holds the card itself. The 64GB is held by a sharp stabby piece of plastic that hurts your fingers when you get it out, while the 32GB's tray is a neat rounded piece.

I'm now running the h2testw to test the 64GB, so far the 7MB/sec write speed makes me want to gag.
[General Accessories] StickyWidget:
Test is almost done, and it's clear this is a fake :/

Only 7.6GB are good

I'm glad the ebay seller agreed to refund the card
[General Accessories] siroliver0:

iam a victim of this , i lost 20 pounds by buying the fake one from ebay uk
[General Accessories] otyg:
yeah don't buy sdcards off ebay about 80% are fake unless the seller has a lot of feedback at 100% other then that you are taking a risk , not only that even if you do get a real one by some strange odds, if something does go wrong with it down the road it will be likely the manufacture will deny the warranty just because it was bought off ebay even if its real.

anyways I wish manufactures would post more information about their retail packaging and highres images of the sdcards so its easier for to spot fake or counterfeit items since china or wherever they come from has gotten really good at this...

Just signed up to this forum only to thank you. Exact same thing happened to me. After confirming the difference in the packing from your post and a nearby genuine and exclusive samsung store, I am now returning the card. Thanks again.
[General Accessories] BadluckBrian:
yes fake

all fake
[General Accessories] Dirrtydog:
Same here happened to me also. Soon after you exceed that 7.7gb threshold, the data won't be readable and available with empty folders and so on. I got it from a local "ebay-like" site from where I live because i can't find it anymore in local stores. So bummer..

Btw, the exact same thing happened when i bought the marvel iron man usb stick 64gb. If you copy more than 7gb on it, crashes an burns.

So my advice is to make an effort and if the difference of money and time is not noticeable, don't bother looking for cheap offers. Pay the full retail price from verified vendors for full waranty and peace of mind. At least that what I will do from now on.

[General Accessories] noslian99:
I was also a victim of a counterfeit 64GB Samsung EVO card. The first thing I do is test my cards as soon as they arrive. Unfortunately the writing speeds soon made me sure it was fake, before the test even ended. The buyer protection from ALIEXPRESS ended, but I managed to badly rate the seller. My only luck was that I payed ten bucks on this piece of ****.
[General Accessories] jxsilicon9:
I got a fake also but received a refund. Never buy Microsd on ebay unless the seller can prove its legit. I called Samsung support. They said if its says "made in Taiwan" on the back of the card its a fake. They're only made in China or Korea.
[General Accessories] MajicDroidPirate:
I got screwed too

Just got mine in the mail... Strange thing is the seller had only one negative feedback but the card is clearly a fake... Same fake tiwan thing Same fake packaging... I haven't done the test yet because i came to this thread too late... It's strange it successfully moved all my files from my 32gb only i cant open half of them and it keeps giving me read errors until i unmount and remount... Im moving my remaining good files off of it now so i can do tje test. Too bad I stupidly cut the files instead of copying... Big mistake now im left with currupted files lost so many pictures and videos... I definitely learned my lesson though. :crying:

Hum didn't know that samsung evo card also had clones.

Thats why we had so much trouble getting stuff on it.

Just testing it 3.67mb/s writr speed after 1h its on 5mb/s. Im my windows 8 tablet so i have a feeling that its fake. Its a 128gb. But at 5mb/s its gonna take 6h it sayes...

For now im at 17gb and still going

But one thing i noticed there is nothing that says where itd made on the sd card. Just some serial numbers. And a empty space under it

---------- Post added at 01:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:00 PM ----------

What about if it says nothing? I juste have serial numbers and under that a empty space
[General Accessories] jxsilicon9:
It didn't wear off or something? If it says nothing then it would be a fake. All companies have the origin of where something is made because of various international and national laws. You can't sell something in most countries without it. If you look at the samsung evo microsd pics. They have white around the edges of the card,made in China or Korea on the back and they match the speed class. If it doesn't meet that then its most likely a fake. Stay away from places like Ebay unless its from an official place like Newegg or seller can show you images of it.
[General Accessories] JimSmith94:
I got a fake 128GB card from a Chinese seller on Amazon. Thankfully I was refunded quickly by the seller, probably because it was an Amazon sale. I'd say even if you're buying through a major company, make sure that they are the ones selling it, not an outside company.

yeah i have a feeling the seller isnt gonna give any replay (i even gvae him a 5stars cause i tought it was real) but i can't change my review. witch is very anoying. i wait till tuesday if the seller isnt gonna awnser im gonna report him.

Been caught out by this too, old sandisk ultra card went write only on me (shouldn't really use my phone as a torrent box i suppose!) and picked up a 64gb evo for £20 from the bay.

Downloaded a bunch of stuff over night and none of it was watchable :(

h2testw currently writing at 7.7MB/s :(

Haven't left feedback yet so a paypal dispute shouldn't be too difficult.

More importantly, what do i watch in bed tonight!

I bought two years ago a Sandisk 64GB Micro SD card on eBay and it is not longer working since yesterday (I can't save nor delete any file or format it but I still can access my files) so I just thought that it was damaged since I used it A LOT. I'm now running a test to my old "damaged" sd card using H2testw and it seems like I was scammed (picture below). Well, long story short, I've bought a Samsung EVO 64GB Micro SDHC on eBay before discovering this post and I think I might get another fake one.

I buy a MicroSD 64 GB Samsung Evo from Aliexpress, but it is fake. My smartphone doesn't accept 64 GB micro sd. Is there a program that change the file system? thanks
[General Accessories] nochkin:
If the card is fake, it does not matter what filesystem you use -- the card will be still fake and unusable for the full capacity.

I recently put some write-up on how to recognize fake Micro SD cards, especially those 64GB-128GB sizes.

There are even ways to figure out just by looking at seller's pictures. Or at least you know how to ask properly to get information before wasting time and money.

http://www.happybison.com/reviews/how-to-check-and-spot-fake-micro-sd-card-8/

I just feel like an idiot now for buying a Samsung EVO 64GB SD Card from a third party seller on Amazon.ca :(

I could have bought another 64GB card from ADATA at the same price from a reputable store (NCIX) for the same price but the speeds were slower. So I went with the faster card not thinking from who I was buying it =/

Just after selling few cards scamming few buyers, the seller scammer removed the product from sales but he will steak again somewhere.

This is the second time I get ripped off on the internet after buying a 256MB Samsung (again lol) MP3 Player on eBay but it was in fact a 128MB model inside.

Fake Samsung Pro 64 gb

I bought a fake from amazon third party seller.

Poor paint on card

Package appears ligit. I checked against my really card.

Card had a sticker over the serial. I pealed it off to find 16gb in the code.

Made in Taiwan

I demanded a refund and got it. He never asked for the card back.

Had the same experience with a 128 gb Sandisk. It was ebay certified. Same deal, refund but still have the card.

Always test flash memory with something like Crystal Mark. You won't get advertised speeds but should be in the ballpark. Scammers tweak the storage size and provide poor quality cards that don't read/write as fast as originals. Many of today's prices on card are driven by speed and not storage.
[General Accessories] heynando:
first one = didn't even pass h2testw =

second one = passed h2testw but fails to match expected write speeds =

third one = haven't decided where to buy from yet, market is completely infested with fake copies

expected speeds =
[General Accessories] nochkin:
That's fake for sure. 8GB marked as 32GB. Any marks on the back of the card?

Speeds are not guaranteed to match exactly as what's written on the package. The card clearly exceeds Class 10 specs, so I would consider this is acceptable and not a fake card.

Your hardware/software could limit speeds in various ways. For example, if the card is UHS-3, but your hardware does not support it properly, then your speed will be much lower. It seems like there is a bottle neck somewhere around 20MB/sec because reads are usually faster than writes.
[General Accessories] heynando:
The first card does have a serial behind it but Samsung did not accept the serial. Obviously.

The second card also does have a serial and model graved onto its back, but when trying to register Samsung did no accept the serial code. I know that speeds should vary, but only by a small percentage, in the case of 5 to 10%, max 20%, in my case it's almost 60% inferior. I tend to agree on the limitation of the hardware, I will try to redo the test in a more updated environment where it would be certain that the card could reach 45 write and I will report back. Although If I were to say based on experience and the current clues only, I'd say that the second one is also a fake, but a more sophisticated one.
[General Accessories] nochkin:
Was it the serial and not the model number? I see many fakes have model starting with "MMB". Was it something else on yours? Just curious.

If Samsung did not accept it, then this is not Samsung (assuming you did not mistype the serial). No doubts here.

It depends. I have Sandisk which marked as 48MB/sec, but I get 20 due to my hardware limitations. I know this is real Sandisk because I received it from Sandisk directly.

External USB 3.0 readers are usually better than built-in SD card readers. The built-in ones are often connected to USB 2.0 bus internally.

The weird thing is that it's a much bigger margin when you sell 8GB card marked as 32GB, compared to when you re-mark non-Samsung to Samsung with the same capacity and speed. It would be interested to see if you can post pictures of the card from front and back of it.
[General Accessories] Talysdaddy:
Wait a sec.. Those 4K random write speeds are AWESOME, the best I've ever seen!

If you have a Raspberry Pi, slap that bad boy in there and I'm sure you won't be disappointed.. If you're thinking they're not legit Evos, I'm super curious as to what they really are, cuz those results would kick a** in my Pi's! Thought my Evos were good (32GB & 16GB) at ~2.5MB/s, I've tested all the entire SanDisk line and was pretty disappointed when none of them broke got above 2MB/s. Average was ~1.5MB/s, fastest was 1.9MB/s, but hit that was only once, I ran multiple tests on each card.

I certainly wouldn't toss that thing away, you may have the Bugatti Veyron of microSD's right there, at least for a Rasp Pi!

Check out these SD card nuts to see what I'm talking about..

I was hit too :(

I purchase a 64gb on ebay, It kept giving me errors after 3gb of data. I went on ebay to ask the seller for a refund and he was gone. Now I purchase from Amazon and only from us sellers. I don't mind paying a buck or two extra to get genuine product. If you use the memory card for sensitve information backup / photos / videos etc..etc.. by the time you realize its fake... it will be too late.
[General Accessories] nochkin:
mafidom,

Open a "not as described" case with eBay to get your money back.

Buying from Amazon and US sellers will not protect you from fake cards. A fake card can be sold by US seller and can be sold on Amazon, because anyone can sell on Amazon. You pay extra buck or two, but the risk is about the same.

The only 100% guarantee is to purchase from authorized reseller, but you have to verify that this seller is authorized because some seller may just claim so. But on this case you'll pay much more than a buck or two extra.

I'd rather to test the card (even if this came from authorized seller) and deal with the seller if any issues. You only lose time in this case.

I also compiled a list of ways how to figure out if this is fake or not before even purchasing: http://happybison.com/reviews/how-to-check-and-spot-fake-micro-sd-card-8/

It says Made in Korea in the back. I tested with h2testw and the CrystalDisk and the results are great, it has the full capacity and the write and read times are the expected... not the 48mb/s as the advertise but the normal 22mb/s as a class 10 card. :good:

Yes, thank you for this post, same same, one EVO 64 exactly as you describe (no white border, made in Taiwan) allowed 8GB of photos before it stopped working. Immediately stopped using it and bought alternative microSD. Fortunately, most photos in the 8GB that did seem to work survived to be saved in other media. Also bought EVO 32GB micro SD, Samsung, that did have white borders and made in Korea. But there was an error with the card and when reformatting tried via computer it just started smoking! Beware!

Class action lawsuit against Amazon for selling this stuff? I lost a lot of data on one of these fake Samsung cards.
