[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oracle93:
Hi everyone.

I was wondering if you guys can tell me how to copy files into the internal storage that KEEPS the timestamp (i.e. 'date modified') of the file once transferred. I have my songs at a certain order at the moment (with the latest first) and I want to keep the songs I recently added at the top of the list. I'm planning on unlocking the bootloader so I just want to back everything up. But I want to copy all music files back so the 'date modified' or timestamp is preserved. Currently when I copied some files into the Nexus4, the files all show up as created/modified at the same date/time.

Could someone help me figure this out please.

Thanks!
[Nexus 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] plegdroid:
Morning Matey, you could root using towelroot (depending on what android version you've got installed) then install bootunlocker for nexus devices, all of which can be done without using fastboot and OEM unlock command, and as thus wouldn't wipe the contents of your sdcard.

Thanks for the reply! I'm running 5.0.1 unfortunately :l

I eventually unlocked the bootloader and rooted anyway. After trying out a **** load of methods, I managed to preserve the timestamp dates on my photos/music by using Samba File Sharing app when I copied the files back on computer (post-root).

I noticed that I can only overclock the CPU from 1.9 GHZ to 2.1 GHZ with skyhigh kernel. Is there anyway to get it higher?
[Galaxy Tab S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpInTheAir:
Not with my kernels.

99% of devices won't be stable above that and in any case will not provide any great benefit.

I did have GPU higher but is really a waste and with CPU, due to higher temps invoking thermal throttle, leading to decrease in overall benchmark/performance.

Through my extensive testing, having anything higher than my current max CPU and GPU frequency = PLACEBO

Edit: Maybe things might change compiling with Lollipop source (once released), but unlikely. Obviously I will test though ;)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
Corrupt files and folders are starting to appear on my Vario II storage card (sandisk 2Gb) and I cannot establish why. As you can see from the view of the card below it contains many illegal characaters so neither the files nor folders can be deleted. Whilst I can understand any crashes of the device may cause stray files they do not normaly comprise corrupt names and as you can see from the file dates it all looks rather nasty.

Last time I just copied all the good folders (using a micro SD card to USB stick converter) to my laptop then formatted and started again with a freshly formatted (Windows FAT32)and checked (Windows scandisk) the card - copying all files back afterwards.

This solved the problem but as you can see the issue has occured again and I notice that some files and folders have disappeared (I tried Google and this forum but the posts seem to concentrate on fixing the problem - I can do that). What I need to know is how to avoid this again - can anybody offer any help? Is it a virus perhaps? I am concerned that my files are at risk and even resolving this immediate problem will not address the cause.

Use kingstone!

I originally had sandisk 512mg and had problems of lock ups and corrupted files. Soft reset would fix it but not for long. However, since I got a new Kngstone 1gb card, all problems were gone. After that I needed more storage and couldn't find Kinstone 2gb card where I leave, so bought sandisk ultraII 2gb card 3 days ago hoping it would be different. Nope! The problems are coming back again. I am going back to Kingstone.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
Hi Tony,

Notwithstanding that there are apparently known issues with certain SanDisk cards, do you remove the mSD card while the device is still powered on? I have noticed disk corruption such as lost clusters and truncated files on my Kingston mSD card when I have done this. Seems better to power down the device and wait the ~10 secs for the caches to be flushed before removing it.

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
John,

I have removed the card from time to time but this appears not to be the cause in this case. I have now even started removing software in the hope of resolving the issue but so far this has not helped. I have found the problems occur every few days and if left gets worse - the screen shot below shows how it starts - this happened today. I have not removed my card for days now but it has once again happened - BUT take a look at the screen shot of my device in Resco Explorer. Note that there are corrupt files in the route, that folders have gone (trust me) and also that a folder previously named "GB_plus_major_roads_of_WE" is now called "GB_PLU~1". Most of the folder names are now also in upper case where by default they are not normally.

This is very frustrating and although I can revert to the full folder structure copy on my laptop it's a pain to restore so often.

Each time I restore the data to the card (2Gb Sandisk) I remove the card and put into a USB adaptor that allows the card to be used as USB stick, format the card (in Windows XP - tried FAT and FAT 32), then run check disk on the card - which never finds any errors even on the card with corrupted files and folder names! :mad: ARGHHH - what can I try next?

I have found plenty of references to this kind of fault but nobody appears to have previously posted screen shots or referred to this detail - it's almost as though there is some form of MS DOS (8.3) folder name change going on for at least one of the folders.:confused: Any help would be most welcome - it's almost time for a hard reset to try to isolate the problem - I suspect software is the cause because of the MS DOS type folder name change...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
It's possible that bad software is doing this, but I'd be surprised. This looks more like "low level" (i.e. SD Card controller) corruption. Have you tried a different card (even from the same manufacturer)? It's possible that there is a hardware fault with the card that you have (does happen, especially as they become cheaper and cheaper).

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
For a while now I have thought this is a hardware issue that then leads into software issues. IMHO it's possible that the card (particularly Sandisk) is making poor contact with the contacts in the device. This poor contact, possible it's intermittent, then messes up the tasks the software is performing. My reason for saying this is some of the common factors reported:

1. The card works fine in a card reader on PC (yes the corrupted files show up but scans reveal no problems

2. The cards have not been reported to become corrupt when being used in a card reader

3. There are likely to be miniscule differences in the physical dimensions/contact surfaces between different manufacturers. Hence Sandisk shows more issues. However use caution with this assumption - there are probably far more Sandisks around than other makes - hence statistically there will be more problems with them.

4. The problem appears to be random - not associated with any particular programme or use of inbuilt software package.

5. There are reported cases where folks say if they insert the card at a certain angle or pushing up or down a little when inserting the card will work better. This is a fairly definitive indicator of contact problems.

6. Some have reported sticking a layer of paper on the non-contact side of the SD card makes it work better. Again this suggests a problem with contacts. Perhaps Sandisks are a little thin than other brands?

7. To make a very crude point - the card slot and internal contacts are very delicate. We have all had a torch with poor battery contacts that when shaken the light comes and goes (or brightens and dims). Imagine the same situation if this happens to your SD card while data is written or FAT tables read.

8. All makes of card can suffer corruption if card is removed while data is being written or card is removed before data is written back.

There is a backup FAT table that can sometimes mean that if you spot corruption on the disk and perform an immediate soft reset the data may return in un-corrupted form as the device uses the backup table. However if you continue to try opening and closing files in the corrupt state or if any information is automatically written to the card then the corrupted version of the FAT table becomes the backup and the corruption is non reversible. This is a matter of pot luck when you spot the corruption, it may already be too late.

May I just say that I have never suffered this problem and I use a Sandisk 2gig.

I had same problem with my hx4700 after I upgraded it to wm5. but that was 2 years I ago. have you tried defragmenting your card? just a suggestion
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:
Mike,

Thanks for the excellent summary of factors - it sounds like the contacts may be to blame as I have rarely removed the card when the device is powered - and then when I have it appears not to have caused any problems. I wonder if I am not able to retify the problem because I use applications installed to the card and they access the card so removing the FAT backup and the possibility of making good with a soft-reset. I'll try the paper trick - I've already tried gently cleaning the contacts on the card with a soft clean cloth. I'll report back.... This card has now been in use for over 6 mths and only just stated to cause problems.

Card now appears to have failed

:( The card now seems to have failed altogther as neither the USB card reader (USB Stick like) nor the device can even see the card when inserted! Suspect card failure as the USB Stick-type device is recohnised in Windows empty and inserting the MicroSD card just makes the light on the stick come and stay on.

I wonder what can fail in these cards? There is no damage and no obvious sign of any external problem:confused:
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
Aha, as I suspected. Lucky guess more like it! ;)

SD cards contain flash memory (obviously) and also a controller (basically a mini-processor) to do things like wear leveling (not writing too many times in the same spot, since flash memory is only good for so many write cycles) and automatic defragmentation. Considering its size, it is quite a complex piece of electronics. Like many pieces of complex electronics, it is also suspectible to damage through bad handling, e.g. static discharge across the contacts. However, newer devices are definitely better made (at least, the more expensive ones), are more resilient and last longer. I guess the old adage, "You get what you pay for" comes to mind.

This posting is not at all meant to undermine Mike Channon's comments (whom everyone here acknowledges is the XDA Hermes hardware expert), in fact, Mike comments were quite valid and now that I think of it, probably the cause of my corruption experiences. It's probably wise to buy a card, insert it (carefully) and just leave it there. Probably will last longer.

Tony, try to use a 2mm thin tape , 5 cm long and tape it over the card right next to the notch, overlapping the notch slightly. This fixed my UNKNOWN MANUFACTURER 2G byte card and made my TYTN fly comparing to the state it was before. I used to SR 10 times a day, loose my card at least 5 times a day and not be able to turn my TYTN on twice a day. This all gone and my TYTN today is steady as a rock with WM5, 2.11 and many programs installed including SPB Plus, Diary, Time, Weather, Imageer, Backup, Emoze and others.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] tony.wheeler:

The card is now dead altogether and will not even read in the USB stick convertor, which it had done quite OK before. Are you suggesting I appliy this mod to the card and then try using in in the card reader?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I doubt he is. That trick is for a card that is making a poor contact - normally in the phone only. If your card does not read or format in a PC card reader then sadly I think "it's up the Swaney"

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] fone_fanatic:
OK, i've had MMC issues up the wazoo with my wizard. I narrowed my problem down to SPB insight. It would freeze while accessing the storage card and i'd soft reset the device and come back to corrupted card.

So what i did was this; Although the card won't be recognized in the PC or Wizard, i'd keep insterting and taking it out then inserting it again till it does read it. once it does make sure you have card export or some sort of program that allows you to access your storage card as a external USB drive.

Then you plug it into your PC and eventually the PC will read it. Once it does you need a data recovery program on your PC. I use GetDataBack. With that it scans the card and you tell it what you want to recover. I used to recover everythign but SPB Insight data folder.

After that, format the card and it should be good.

To figure out what is corrupting your card, think what is constantly accessing you microSD card. Is it SPB Insight, pocket IE, Mail attachments? Make sure that you are not soft reseting your device while your SD Card is being accessed. How do you know its being accessed when your PPC freezes? Who knows, i guess its luck and knowing which programs were last opened before it froze.

Hopes this helps, also you might want to read through this thread which has useful links that helped me resolve my issues.

Good luck.
