I got the same problem on my Dopod U1000 with TOSHIBA 2GB mini-SD, sometime the memory card is readable but the file structure is broken it case some software can not run after reset the device all resume to normal.

I think it is not only the SDHC problem.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
it's not SDHC, it's the name of the SD card, you have to rename it Storage Card, otherwise software won't work
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I have always retained the original name for my SD card (Storage Card), but on three occasions so far, the file structure and name were garbed when viewed with file explorer, or were simply missing. In one instance, I was editing an excel spreadsheet and suddenly found that I could not save it. I was forced to first save into the device,reset the device, then transfer the spreadsheet back to the storage card. I read from other forum that I'm not alone in having to reset to regain the Storage Card data.

Perhaps there is a bug in the ROM, Wu?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Moskus:
I haven't actually installed any programs on my 4 GB mini-SDHC card, but I have no problems running programs on the card. I've created shortcuts to Transport Tycoon, ScummVM and PTGmap and they're all running fine on the card...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] wu5262:
no, this is a different issue here, i don't see the same problem with DOPOD rom, our problem is because our device are in chinese, the storage card name are in chinese too, therefore that's why we need to rename it to the english name. After i done that, no issue with storage card at all
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] ralonsop:
How can I change the name of the sd card ? I got the same problem of you.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mardibloke:
I get the "signed" message sometimes, and my storage card name is "Storage Card" as standard. Its maybe the drive getting messed up, a soft reset always sorts it out. 4gb mini SDHC.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mardibloke:
Anyone else seeing odd problems like this, I'm having to soft reset at least once a day as icons are disapearing and applications won't start.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Yes, I also get this problem randomly. I've tried installing it on microdrive, and later a newly bought 4GB miniSDHC card of class 4 speed (I use a Toshiba, made in Japan). In both cases, there were occassions when the system is unable to "see" the storage. The system freezes, unable to start an application, unable to save a document, and so on. Soft reset always solves the problem until it happen again down the road. Initially I thought the freezing was due to compaction thread. Later I thought that it is due to use of inferior mniSD card. I think it is due to I/O problem of unknown nature that caused these problems. Perhaps it is due to bugs in the ROM? I would eagerly wait for WM6 to see if this problem goes away.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] mardibloke:
Hmm, I'm trying to work out if I have duff hardware and to return it, by seeing if other people have same problem.

Would you mind listing what applications you have installed - maybe its a comon application we both have that causes it.

I don't fancy hard reseting and trying it with nothing installed, nor the wait for WM6 to see if its not hardware related.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I don't think you need to worry about not being able install applications in the device. I have everything I want there.

I try to keep a right perspective on this. Although it occasionally fails to recognise the microdrive and storage card, resulting in not being able start an application or running smoothly, the occurrence is not so frequent that it becomes unuseable. Also, you are not going to lose any data as a result of this problem. It is annoying, that's all.

irregular Freeze HTC X7500 WM6

I confirm Micro Drive is a lot Faster then mini-SDHC and even internal storage of the HTC Athena. I've dome some testing by installing the programs on every memory and compare. I've alos used the benchmark utility from SKTools Microdrive is at least 5 times faster then ROM and SD.

The reason of my testing were irregular Freezes, sometimes playing Backgammon and other times opening Resoc Explorer or other programs.

and even sometimes after device wake up ...

Im also facing strange behavior where sometimes I need to soft reset 4 or 5 times in a row to be able to start the device normally. It freeze on the Windows Mobile welcome screen, so I need to reset many times before it works. Im running WM6 on HTC X7500

have anyone had this behavior??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Madhadder:
I have TomTom6 installed to Main Memory. When the maps are stored on the MiniSD card, everything runs great, no map jumping etc. When the maps are on the Microdrive, the program is slugish and the maps skip and jump.

So for realtime apps, it looks like MiniSD is faster or better than the Microdrive.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] BigDede:
Thats strange, Microdrive read/write access is 5 times faster then any current SD on the market.

I have TomTom installed to main memory and map on Mircrodrive.

It runs without any jump/skip ...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Madhadder:
You also have to remember that the Microdrive powers up/down to save power. This can happen many times when using a program like Tomtom.

With MiniSD, the ship has no moving parts that need to spin-up before data is read.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
I'm on WM6 now (Dopod's July 27 ROM on Dopod U1000), and so far, my most problematic application (the one that feezes most often) is internet explorer, where I had relocated the cookies/history/temporary files to the SD cards. My miniSDHC card is a class 4 Toshiba 4GB card which is supposed to be made in Japan.

After lots of thinking on this problem, I though that my SD card might be the culprit.

When I do benchmark the Storage card using SKTools, device memory, and microdrive, I get the following typical results:

------------------ Write (KB/S)----------- Read (KB/S)

Main storage ------1935.12 -------------- 3306.78

Storage card ----- 27.2 !! --------------- 3903.43

Microdrive----------6393.34---------------3797.28

Look at the write value for SD card. It's only 27.2KB/s!! No wonder whenever I exceed word and excel, the system freezes in trying to write out the files. Also, no wonder my IE is so incredibly slow. When I scan the SD cad using pocket mechnaics professional, it shows some lost clusters and lost chains. Then I ran PMP to try to recover it, but apparently pocket mechanics is unable to do so. So I reformated my SD card, and tried using it again. The result is the same (no improvement). A couple of days later, I had lost cluster and lost chains again.

Then I transferred them to the main storage. Everything changes. Internet explorer because blazing fast. Word and excel the same thing - blazing fast.

The strange thing is, when I place them in the microdrive, it goes slower again. Almost as slow as in SD card. ?????? I don't understand this as it does not make sense. The benchmark for microdrive is so excellent, yet the performance is not that different from the SD card. Both of them are bad and causes the device to freeze randomly.

I tried benchmarking using pocket mechanics professional, and strangely it gives a very rosy picture of the card's performance. I got a feeling that SKtool's rating is closer to reality.

How does your SD card rate using SKtools? Am I having a faulty unit or a faulty SD card reader/write? Is my SD card a fake? I really would like to see everyone's benchmark for comparison and identify the good card from the bad. Could you post your rating please? Thanks.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] BigDede:
These are my results using SKTools benchamark (I don't have SD card)

------------------ Write (KB/S)----------- Read (KB/S)

Main storage -------3635.50-------------- 5834.76

Microdrive----------14189.38---------------15170.37
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] Madhadder:
The microdrive is faster than main memory!!! (In writes)

I highly doubt it.. It would seem that theese testing tools are incorrect

and haven't be properly ported to WM6
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Thanks for responding.

Your benchmark is way way better than mine. I wonder if different version of SKTool may give different result. I'm using version 3.1.5.0. What about you?

Also, did you have to tweak the system in anyway ? Also, mine is already tweak for performance using SKtools. My File system cache size is 2048.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] eaglesteve:
Do we have any benchmark on SD cards?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo General] BigDede:
I use SKTools 3.1.7.2

My file system cache is Zero, I didn't do any special tweaking, Im just running Pocket Hack Master @ 663Mhz

Most of my applications and games are installed on MicroDrive.

TomTom maps as well are on MicroDrive, everything is running ok ...

I've tried the benchamark several times, and Im still getting nearly same result ...

Out of the 10 or so plastic style protectors I've installed over the years this is the weirdest thing I've ever seen.

I installed it just fine. As I start to squeegee out excess liquid and air bubbles, I notice that my credit card is scratching the protector like crazy. I check the card and it's smooth as any card, nothing sharp or rough.

I finished the install. An hour later I took a picture to show how defective and stupid this protector is. I emailed customer service asking why their protector is garbage. there is no response yet.

[IMG="Skinomi install defect"]http://i.imgur.com/nwExLBa.jpg[/IMG]
[Nexus 6 Accessories] acheney1990:
I've also dealt with crap like that on past devices with plastic screen protectors. Hope they refund you or something.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] indianajonze:
that happened to me on a playstation vita screen protector. as i was installing it it was scratching like crazy and i was having a hell of a time wrestling with the damn thing. this after countless screen protector installs. realized after a while that i was installing the protector backwards...:eek:
[Nexus 6 Accessories] ocolon53:
You should probably get a replacement, I don't think their instructions are very clear. Check out the installation video on the website. You have to cover the credit card with the included cleaning cloth.

I installed it on my Nexus 6 and it is barely noticeable, the only problem I had was that the front facing camera hole doesn't align properly.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] feedtheducks:
Wow man, you must have been "squeeging" like there is no tomorrow. Anyway, I hope you get a refund.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] rkennison:
Wrap your card or what ever in the cloth first. Never put the edge on the screen protector unless it's a glass one.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Unoid:
I'll ask for a replacement.

I've never had to wrap a card with any protector ever, even since I've been doing them on my Iphone 2g in 2008.

weird that it's such a weak product.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] violentbydezign:
Here's a suggestion

Definitely see if you can get a replacement. But this is how i apply a screen to my phone every time it is needed or when I get a new device

Step 1.

Wash your hands thoroughly this will get rid of any natural oil build up on your finger tips.

Step 2

Get a bowl preferably some thing large enough to fit the screen protector on.

Step 3

Place some alcohol in the bowl enough just to cover the bottom of the bowl don't OD on this.

Step 4

Remove the first layer of protective plastic and place it in the bowl face down as you would apply it to your phone

Step 5

Clean the screen thoroughly with lint free or micro fiber cloth

Step 6

Retrieve your screen protector moisten your finger tips with alcohol to avoid having finger prints on the screen protector don't worry about it being wet you will need it to allow you to make corrections when applying you screen protector on you phone wipe any air bubbles and excess alcohol on the edge of the phone.

Last Step

Very important to let it dry or use a hair dryer if you can't wait for a few hours.

Like I said I get a perfect application every time using this method seems like a lot but it works.
[Nexus 6 Accessories] Jrob2k:
Applied a Dbrand skin and then a skinomi over it. The key is to use a ridiculous amount of solution on the screen and the device. I keep a folded paper towel under the device and one near the edge I'm squeegeeing towards. Always dab when the solution bubbles over a speaker. When its done, it can also help to dry it as much as possible with a paper towel and then wrap with plastic wrap for less than an hour, then take it off to let it breathe and the solution will evaporate though the screen protector after a day or so.

I've scratched the crap out of my screen protector while squeegeeing too hard or with no lubrication.... There's always time for lubrication!
[Nexus 6 Accessories] xanaxdroid:
This is actually my favorite screen protector. I had to RMA my device and they are sending me another for free.

Guys just bought a new phone and started debugging on the phone. I'm facing this issue.

While I'm trying to debug the apps on my device. My device is showing as offline after sometime. Then I again have to Toggle off USB Debugging and switch it on. I even checked adb devices it shows the device as online and then offline after sometime. Anyone facing similar issues or knows the solution please help me with the same.

Thanks
[Java for Android App Development] mohamedrashad:
I solved this by changing the usb cable and updating the usb drivers of my phone, give it a try
[Java for Android App Development] coolbud012:
dont think so.

Hey thanks for the reply. The USB cable is brand new and of very good quality. Also ADB drivers are installed properly. It works once I toggle the USB Debugging in the phone so I dont think it would be related to the data cable.
[Java for Android App Development] mohamedrashad:
Maybe the rom if you are using a custom one
[Java for Android App Development] GeknGekn:
The debug bridge will never go "offline" as long as it is connected to the device, and as long as you have USB-debugging "on" in your device and the correct drivers are installed. The point being that ADB isn't the issue, I assume that you are debugging/logging through LogCat , "and that piece of shi* really sucks," if LogCat stops logging or says it is disconnected try to rearm it by manually launching the app you're debugging, or Run the app from your IDE. That will work most of the times, alternatively you can use the old Android logcat which is fully functioning but not as good as LogCat.

If all fails start debugging through ADB in the console.

[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] HijoProdigo:
Situation

Bought Nexus 4 refurbished, works great except for this issue. Back speaker works great, Google Search works with mic (Ok Google). Updated via OTA all the way to 5.0. Am using phone on a carrier in Ecuador.

Problem

When making a phone call over the local carrier, call connects (you can see the counter on screen), music, if playing, pauses as it should. But no audio from the earpiece, and the other side does not hear anything from my side. Tried putting call on speaker, nothing. Tried with headphones, nothing. However, when making a Hangouts call over data, mic/earpiece work fine. To me, this means the hardware functions, so it must be software related. The phone sends SMS without issue, so it works with the local carrier. Also data works without any issue.

What I've done so far

Searched high and low, and it seems this is a somewhat common problem that some have fixed in many different ways. Please let me know if you know of another that I may have missed.

Downgrading to 4.4.4

Upgrading back to 5.0

Factory Reset

Flash 5.0 Factory image

Upgrade to 5.0.1

Flash complete 5.0.1 Factory image

Flashed latest CM11 nightly

Tried several "solutions" found on Google Group forum, such as pluging headphones in and out

Flashed Hybrid modem with included audio fix

Switched SIM cards

Installed SoundAbout, and tried many different options - redirecting Phone Audio, even changing options for Headset detection (thought the phone was confused, thinking the headphones were in)

Tested mic with recording apps and by recording videos, all work fine.

Installed PAC-ROM without Gapps to see if it was the Google Play Services issue

Disabled the CheckInService

I think I've tried more, but can't remember them all. It's been over a week, and can't answer or make phone calls.

Coming to my wits end, and it's extremely frustrating since it doesn't seem to be a hardware issue, and I hate giving up on something I can fix. Any suggestions?

(Edited and added a couple more tests to the list)
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dzumagos:
yep, you are not the only one with this issue, it started to plague users just recently, including me and from what i've learned so far it has got something to do with google play services.

however for me, flashing 5.0/5.0.1 resolved it (i only encountered it on CM4.4.4 )

here is another topic bout this. good luck

http://xdaforums.com/nexus-4/help/audio-call-nexus-4-cm11-t2924589

If this is really about Google Services, try installing a ROM without adding GApps. You can then state if they are really the culprit here.
