INTRODUCTION

Losing vital documents is one of the most painful ordeal someone could go through in life. It is even worse if the data belong to a third party. Yet it is unimaginable if it belong to the organization where one works.

I once lost very vital documents and accused someone wrongly due to fake memory card. This led to this research with the aim to serve as a guide on how to separate the good from the bad memory cards.

OMOROGHOMWAN'S INTEGRITY TESTS PROCEDURE FOR DATA STORAGE DEVICES

Insert your portable memory device into a computer or phone to see the usable space.

Let the usable (writable) memory be Y.

lt is a known fact that this value is always less than the specified size. This is due to the fact that the memory device will need some of the memory space for its internal operations (this is its read only memory - ROM).

Let the specified Memory size be X

IF X/1.024≈Y - - - - - 1

THEN the data storage device is fake.

On the other hand;

IF X/1.083≈Y - - - - - 2

THEN the data storage device is original.

Combination of equations 1 and 2 is known as Omoroghomwan's Hard Drive Integrity Tests.

FIELD SAMPLES

Table 1. below shows the relative differences in the writable memories of fake and authentic memory devices.

Table l. Authentic and fake data storage device capacities.

CONCLUSION

It is no longer news that the market is already contaminated with fake memory cards and flash drives carrying false data sizes. We are better equipped to avoid the trauma that follows such harrowing experience with the information in this write up.

RECOMMENDATIONS

From experience, it has been observed that memory devices of higher capacities (from 8GB) are more prone to counterfeiting. It is therefore recommended that any buyer of such should be vigilant and perform the outlined tests at the point of purchase either with a mobile phone or a computer in order to ascertain the integrity of the external memory device.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshootin] buugiewuugie:
So I think I really messed up. I was running the Pure Google rom. I got tired of the phone refusing to turn on after the battery died (had to switch batteries with my wife's phone.) So I decided to change my rom. I downloaded the new zip to my phone, booted into safestrap recovery, wiped everything. Went to install the zip file but I couldn't find it, so I rebooted, expecting to boot back into the old OS to look for the file. That was obviously not the case. Now my phone just boots to the Samsung screen the open lock that says custom underneath and just stays there. Have I bricked my phone?

Hi all,

I've got a new tablet with a broken battery. Everytime I power on the tablet and android was bootet the tabled is shutting down because of the critical charging level. This is something I cannot change because the battery is fully down. So with connected charger in recovery mode the tablet does not have any issues because of connected charger.

Now I have to disable the critical charge autoshutdown of android. Installed is android 4.2.2 and xposed framework would be my solution with activated disablecriticalbatteryshutdown module. BUT I am not able via booted android because of auto shutdown ... so I've googled some days and found a possibility to install framework via ADB. First I've installied the 2 apks via adb (xsposed framework and disablecriticalbatteryshutdown module). Then I've installed xposed via recovery mode and it rouns through successfully.

But how do I activate the installed module?

Kind regards,

Thomas
[Xposed General] GermainZ:
Try adding the APK's path to /data/data/de.robv.android.xposed.installer/conf/modules.list, for example:

Hi,

Anyone aware of a windows method or tool that allows sybolic folder linking within a PC running WM5 (in the same way that the Storage Card hooks into the main file system).

For example you would be able to create a folder 'link' on the PC itself that hooks to a directory stored on the SD card?

Thanks

[G3 General] Pipp0:
I don't think I'll be the one. I'm sick and tired of locked bootloader and now Nexus 6 is anounced with same paramers as G3 but with 3 GB Ram. Deffinitely I miss my old Galaxy Nexus with thousand of custom roms..
[G3 General] Batfink33:
The Nexus 6 will have the S805 with 3GB RAM, unlocked boot loader with loads of custom Roms and kernels and a 2k screen. If it has a MicroSD slot also then its a definite winner over the G3.
[G3 General] Ferindel:
If it's like any other nexus, i highly doubt they're gonna add a micro sd slot, since they never did put any on every other nexuses (nexusi ? Whatever). And personally, i think a 5.9inch display is way too big. The G3 fits perfectly in my hands.
[G3 General] Yuriy.Samorodov:
Has Nexus 6 been announced already?
[G3 General] Illrigger:
A lot of "ifs" on the Nexus 6 still. Battery life, storage, materials, and hand fit. And cost of course.

The big one for me is battery life. If the rumored 3200mah is true, with that huge screen it's probably going to push it to lower than the G3, which is already marginal. If it has AMOLED rather than LCD it might be a bit better, but even then it's pushing it.
[G3 General] ll_l_x_l_ll:
Nexus 6 announced? Lol where
[G3 General] AllBlaxx:
Don't think I'll sell my G3 but it's very likely that I'll buy the new Nexus phone to replace it. In regards to battery life, I'm on this G3 forum almost everyday hearing people talk about how horrible the battery is on this phone but I get far better usage than any other Android device I've owned (and I've gone through a few of em). Maybe it's the fact that I have the Rogers D852 that no one else seems to own but I take my phone off the charger at 7am each morning and I can get to 7am the next day with 15-20% battery remaining under my normal use with Bluetooth & WiFi on and Power Saving mode disabled. Go figure
[G3 General] kennypow3rs:
Im so irritated with the lack of custom roms/dev support im almost about to let my G3 go as well. This phone the most powerful device ive ever owned across all specs and i cant do **** with it but root lol. Im kind of getting tired of android too. I may do the unthinkable and sell my G3, and then buy a blackberry passport just because its different.
[G3 General] paratox:
no sd slot? no thanks.

i had 5 nexus devices and at some point i got sick of always deleting old music to make storage for new mp3s. when i`m on the walk i want to listen what i want and not what there was space for.

this is the biggest downside for nexus devices and was the reason why i bought the g3.
[G3 General] Rodeojones:
If the Nexus 6 (Nexus X?) is available on Verizon - I know, big and unlikely if - I can almost guarantee I'll be selling my 3 week old G3. I like this phone, but I hate OEM skins and the lack of an unlocked bootloader means I'm stuck with LG's ****ty software. I only have this phone because my G2 died within the one year manufacturer warranty and Best Buy didn't have any in stock. I can't wait to not own this phone anymore.
[G3 General] xgman:

I can't pocket a 6" screen phone. Nice sounding specs though.
[G3 General] Tybaltus Prime:
I'll sell in a heart beat for aosp

LG has destroyed hope in my experience owning this phone lol
[G3 General] digitaldroid:
No sd slot no thanks..... and rumored 5.9 inch screen is way too big
[G3 General] Batfink33:
I think they might put an SD slot on it. Remember it is Motorolla that is making it and it is going to be more expensive than the N5. But it is a deal breaker, if it does have an SD slot then its a must buy, if not forget it.
[G3 General] memphisuklf:
Doesn't look like a will be getting one if these rumours are anything to by. The sheer size of it is a put off.

http://m.gadgets.ndtv.com/mobiles/n...x-purportedly-pictured-alongside-lg-g3-598266
[G3 General] ChrisM75:
The Nexus 6 will have to be a LOT better made than the last few in order to make me change. The 4 had a rubbish screen and a terrible camera, the 5 has appalling quality control, a dull, uninteresting design and the worst screen ive seen in years.
[G3 General] whoamigriffiths:
I have no issues with a near 6" screen.

At my age my eyes need all the help they can get.

What worries me is the knocked up photo of n6 next to a g3.

And it's huge. So much bigger than the g3 it's not funny.
[G3 General] kennypow3rs:
I know right. I can barely pocket my G3 without having a giant square outline. Anything after 5.5 is just too large of a screen.
[G3 General] 2dorr:
Nexus 6 would be the same size like ip6+ just with a 5.9 vs 5.5 inch screen. If the battery will be better than G3, for sure I'll buy it. Indeed battery is a major factor for me. And I am not disappointed by G3 battery but I want a longer screen-on time.
[G3 General] meyerweb:
If the 6" screen rumor is accurate, it's too big for me. Also, it won't have SD card support, nor a removable battery. As big as it is, the latter probably isn't an issue, but storage is.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raptostyle:
Hi guys.

I have a pc tablet allview ax4 nano and i recently updated to Kitkat 4.4.2

s7.directupload.net/images/140925/4wub5jt4 .png

And i did try to root it with :

- Kingo Root

- FarmaRoot

- SRS Root

- Vroot

- Root oE (That chinese version)

But none of this did worked, what should i try next to root it?

I'm so devastated that i tried so many and none of them did work with this kitkat 4.4.2 update. (Before update i did had jelly bean and on that JB i did always use the SRS Root, but now i don't know what software to use anymore.

When i used farmaroot always had only Boromir in that list and always got the message " Try another exploit error#9 " )

I don't have more ideas, do you have some, please?

[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WP7_Sammy:
Hi,

I have done some searching on the forums and found related questions to this, but no answer that fixes my problem.

I have been using a Samsung Ativ S T899M for about 2 years now, originally a phone from Rogers Canada that my work bought, imported into the US on AT&T through Expansys. I actually live in Canada though and use it on Rogers.

We bought these phones with WinPho 8.0 on them, and configured them originally to use the APN WAP.CINGULAR and they connected just fine to Rogers Network, showing 3G, 4G and LTE connectivity for the last 2 years. When I go to the US for work, I switch it to 'Automatic' network connection and I get connectivity just fine. Even through various updates to Windows Phone 8.1, including the Developer Preview.

I recently reset my phone due to formatting issues with an SD card, and reset everything, restoring from a backup:

OS Version: 8.10.14176.243

FW Rev: 2212.12.11.2

HW Rev: 15.3.1.0

Radio Software ver: <blank?>

Radio Hardware ver: <blank?>

I reset the phone, and only 3 days later was I prompted to update to the above versions, although I checked for updates shortly after the reset.

Now to the problem: I no longer see LTE as a connectivity option when connecting to Rogers Network, AND I don't have Internet connectivity, even when choosing 4G. (I realize this might be 2 diff problems)

In the Settings --> 'Cellular+SIM' --> 'SIM' menu, I see only 2G, 3G and 4G in the highest connection speed..no LTE as there was before.

When I search for networks, I see Rogers at 2G, 3G and 4G, no LTE.

I have the APN set to WAP.CINGULAR and have also tried fast.t-mobile.com as advised in some other forum posts, with no luck.

I have the diagnostics app installed (*#634#) and have dialed into the Test Mode menu using *#0011# and tried to follow the codes to get to the UTMS mode menu, but it does not work. Tapping Back twice does nothing whatsoever.

Does anyone have a similar experience? Am I missing the Radio drivers I need? How do I correct this?

Any help / advice / tests are appreciated.
[Windows Phone 8 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jon4248:
I have this phone as well. Its unlocked from Bell Canada. I made the same mistake and upgraded it to 8.1 DP, I since bought a Nokia Lumia 635 that I use as my daily driver, as there are soo many bugs with the T899M now using the 8.1DP. When I was using it I noticed that missing LTE from the settings as well, but every now and then my phone would tell me I was connected to LTE in the status bar.

I really wish there was a way to restore this phone back to the original factory firmware 8.0....well I'm sure there is, but for some reason there simply is no ROM online to do so. Very unfortunate for us T899M owners who did the 8.1 DP update.

The missing radio HW & SW lines are because Samsung needs to update the firmware, some of the hardware is missing proprietary drivers (radios/camera, etc), unfortunately everytime I contact Samsung they tell me the same thing. "You cannot downgrade, it is not possible. We will let you know when an update is available".....basically the're no help.

Alls we can do is wait....one day it maybe updated...who knows when though...apparently not Samsung.
