Hi guys!

I've read several threads here regarding which cards work and don't work in our machines. One of the main threads is ridiculously long, and describes various reg hacks that do NOT solve the problem.

In my opinion, there is NOTHING worse than a PDA that needs to be rebooted every day or several times a day.

I am starting this thread just to bring the basic information into one place.

I can tell you right now:

I have two 2GB Sandisk MicroSD cards, and one 512MB card.

Not surprisingly, all three have problems in two 8525 devices, with two different WM5 ROM.

I know that the 1GB Made in Japan Kingston seems to work flawlessly.

Can anyone else please share their experiences in this thread? Let's keep it nice and clean, so that people wanting to understand what works and what doesn't.

How are the 2GB Kingston cards? Anyone have any luck?

I have used the SanDisk 2GB with no known issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
I also have a 2g Sandisk with no issues over nearly 11 months.

I'm not sure you will prove much here as I have seen folks who swear Sandisks are bad and Kingstons (typically 2gig) are flawless. Equally I have seen exactly the reverse views reported. It may have more to do with physical connections (contacts) between device and the card.

But lets see how it pans out.

I have as well and love it. Only issue I have is getting the little sucker out! I just leave it in. The only way I have found to get it out is by opening the back, and using an eye glasses screw driver to slide it out.

Wow, I've got something different!

1GB Corsair MicroSD in my Imate JasJam.

Worked flawlessly for 6 months until I became the new owner of both phone & card, it then had card detection issues for a couple of days, but came good on it's own.

Now on WM6 and still working fine. I'm wondering if larger than 2GB cards will work.

No problems with my A-Data MyFlash 1GB, although once or twice I did have to use a tweezers or a needle to extract it. Just FYI, I bought my card on NewEgg.com, and people there usually leave feedback on if the card worked or not on their particular mobile device.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] Michael_514:
Very interesting.

So it looks like some people have 2GB Sandisks with NO problems.

Mine pops in and out quite nicely, actually. Although on my dad's unit, you need a tweezers.

My SanDisk 2GB Taiwan card would disappear every other day or so. It wasn't a huge problem as I'd just have to pop it out and push it back in to get everything working again, but I needed another microSD card for another device so I bought a Kingston 2GB hoping to get a Japan card. I ended up with a 2GB Kingston Taiwan card, but it works just fine (a month now) without disappearing *knocks on wood*
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
I have occasional problems with a 1GB Made in Japan Kingston, so I have to disagree with your statement.

I am convinced that this problem is hardware related. Either a connector fit problem as Michael Channon believes, and/or a motherboard problem as I believe. Earlier Hermes motherboards were manufactured by Hitachi, HTC now uses a different supplier for their motherboards. Rumour has it that the Hitachi mobo's have a problem with the mSD card hardware (could be the same problem I s'pose). ;)

Sandisk 2GB card

I also have a Sandisk 2GB.

It had trouble ejecting the first few times and I had to use tweezers or the tip of a razorblade to get it to slide out but after a very short time it started moving normally.

My 8525 does lose site of the card from time to time and I sometimes have to re-insert it several times before it is recognized but I have not had to reset the phone to get it to come back.

Kingston 2GB. I have a music directory and as weel as various others. Sometimes cannot see the files in the music dir but can with others. But when this happens you try to open say, a word doc and it says there was an error. Reinserting sometimes works and other times have to soft reset.

Going to be sending back to retailer for a Sandisk.

I research to death most things I buy, this was not one of them. Lesson here is: research everything, even that toothbrush you want to buy :D.

Toshiba 1 gig micro changes file names and extensions

I used the Sandisk and had this same problem. I format the card, put it into my 8525, open windows media and it shows the card. I play some music and sometimes in the middle of a song it stops recognizing the card.

I read that you could delete the MSMETADATA folder and it would solve the problem but it won't let me delete the folder. I get an error (cannot delete the XMEMediaLibrary: The disk is write protected. Remove the write-protection or use another disk)

I don't have this write protected????

If you look in the folder you get what you see on the attached screen shot. I can however rename this folder but I have to do this a couple of times a day.

There is no real rhyme or reason to this either.

It happens when I take pictures as well. That seems to help rename all of the files in that folder as well.

Any ideas?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] gulakpi:
Sandisk 2G works great,

Kingston 256M and 1GB also works, but NOT the Kingston 2GB.

With the Kingston 2GB, you need to reinsert the card every time after you switch off the unit.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] john713:
So basically what you are saying is that the card I have doesn't work? This is good to know. I am going to get a Kingston as soon as I can.

I wonder if anyone else has had the files renamed?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
It seems that in the most recent OS build(s) that are being distributed in the cooked ROMs, that the SD card corruption issue has been fixed. I haven't had a single issue since upgrading to LVSW 20070519. Can't comment on whether 4 GB support was added at the same time since I don't know, but it is possible.

thanks John. I have a question though. I just upgraded to the new Att version of WM5. Bear with me because I don't know exactly what I'm doing but is that the latest ROM?

Where would I find the latest if not?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] john713:
Where would you get:

wm6 black v4.0 on my 8525
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] johnburn:
It's probably the latest ROM for WM5, but when I was referring to the latest cooked ROMs, I was referring to WM6. I suspect that not much is being done by either M$ or HTC in WM5 anymore, so the fix(es) probably only apply to WM6. I fact, I think I read somewhere in the WM6 forum that HTC made reference to the SD Card fix in WM6.

Finding "supported" ROMs is not easy. Your best bet is to check with your mobile network operator.

John
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam General] MikeChannon:
You have the latest official WM5 upgrade. WM6 on the Hermes is as yet unofficial but there are several versions around. I suggest you search for Mrvanx guides on this forum to learn more. Or have a look here:

I've had two different 8525s over the past month, 1 Cingular branded and the other AT&T branded. Both were at the current ROM level and neither would last more than 12 hours without losing my 2G Sandisk MicroSD card. I bought a Kensington 2G from Fry's on Friday ($24.99 special), copied all my files over to it and installed it yesterday morning. It's been nearly 36 hours without a hiccup.

FWIW, in the store, they had racks and racks of them out on display and every one I looked at, maybe 10 in all, was manufactured in Japan. They're also on special at Fry's online (the old Outpost.com site) and cheaper than in the store, selling for $22.99 with free shipping - http://shop2.outpost.com/product/5249987 - but, of course, you can't tell where they were manufactured.

What about cm12.1?
[General Questions and Answers] InDevinitely:
Hello, I am new to this forum. I am looking for an answer to a question, I looked it up online, but that was only helpful to a certain degree, so I decided it would be better to actually ask a developer.

I understand that to become a developer, a degree in computer science is recommended, but is it absolutely necessary? I have recently become interested in developing, but I am already messing about with codes, making simple scripts, and I'm also learning C++, too. I am a very fast learner with this sort of thing and seem to be able to (somehow) keep it all stored in my head. So do you think that somebody who is a fast learner would really NEED a degree in computer science?

Also, just so you know, I am not talking about development of platforms, it is developing applications that I am interested in, so I hope that I am asking this question in the right place (I've already copied it just in case, so I can paste it in the right place if it is mis-posted.

Thank you.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You_got_owned123:
A few people here and there have been starting to have this problem pop up- including me.

My phone was perfectly fine with absolutely no problems with the touch screen but about three days ago, my phone started acting weird.

At that time, I was running CM 5.1 nightly and then dirty flashed over to the latest. I thought that this was the problem and so I did a clean flash but still the problem was there.

Went back to the original CM nightly that I was previously on and problem is still there.

Tried many different ROMs but the problem is still there..

I can't type out a sentence without my phone failing to register a touch and sometimes registering rapid touches as one - the same problems before Synaptic released a 'fix' for this issue.

At this point, I don't really know what to do but it's aggravating that a phone can't do it's basic tasks such as type.

The phone seems really sluggish when I type - which I haven't encountered before this which slightly leads me to believe that input lag is the crux of the problem however, I can't say for certain.

Can anyone with more expertise help me with this?
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newprasan:
Same issue

Im having a similar problem. I cant type a single sentence without errors. It doesnt register the touch as well few times. Using a device is so sluggish.. hate it. Tried many roms with clean wipe but without any success. Would be nice if anyone could help with the above issues.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patp:
I have similar issues and I don't think it's a software issue - I have never flashed a ROM. I think it's hardware problem, probable the earthing suggested in this post:

http://xdaforums.com/oneplus-one/general/fixing-ghost-touch-grounding-issue-hint-t2951000

There is an app that re-calibrates the touchscreen every time you turn it on, but it doesn't completely solve the problem for me and also prevents unlocking until it has completed, which is annoying. The fact that a re-calibration is needed to even achieve a little stability is consistent with an earthing problem.

If mine gets any worse, and I think it will, I'm going to investigate a warranty claim, but that sounds like a few weeks with no phone, which I can't tolerate.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] effry:
hi, i'm experiencing the same problems. you can test this when registering 2 touches on the same Y axis (try with anyone of touch test apps).

I think that this is popping out to a lot of people in this moment because of the hot days kicking in. in fact, if your phone is cold (try to put in a fridge for 5 minutes) it will work perfectly, but when it will become hot again in your hands the touch will start to freak out again
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You_got_owned123:
What sucks is my phone was perfectly fine a few days ago and we've only had an increase of about 5 deg F over the week.

Occasionally the capacitive buttons don't register either.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZuLa:
Same thing here. Perfectly working screen, flashed 5.1 unofficial some weeks ago and no matter wich versión of cm or what kernel, randomly ghost touches happens.

Now with official 5.1 and ak 200 works better, but it's still there. There must be some kind of firmware/software problem, It's too curious that this issue begin to happend to many people at the same time.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pepie:
My bro has the same problem, some days after flasing CM12S the screen doesn't feel as responsive anymore.

The screen isn't able to handle multiple touches anymore what makes typing really annoying, scrolling through settings also goes really slow.

Tried flashing latest 12.1 nightly but I don't think any ROM will be able to fix it.

No idea what caused it and if there is a way to fix it.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You_got_owned123:
This is exactly what happened to me and it seems like it happened to a good number of people around the same time. Either 1)It's a huge coincidence 2)OnePlus rigged our phones to go haywire around this time or 3)Something in one of the nightlys got messed up for a few people however like you said, flashing new roms for kernels doesn't help anymore which makes me want to do a complete wipe - Internal data included.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldengargoyle:
Same issue

I was sure it's the heat some time back but then this touchscreen fixer app in the Themes and Apps section is actually helping. That makes me wonder if its the firmware, coz the problem only kicked off after the CM12.1 update. A few of my classmates purchased the OPO at the same time as I did and they dont have this issue (they didnt go to CM12.1).

Any tips on what firmware/ROM to revert to?

Edit: I also flashed the Oxygen OS firmware.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] patp:
It's not a change in the firmware, mine did it spontaneously. It's hardware. OnePlus will do everything they can to spin a software story and indeed it will often be possible to partially mitigate in software, but ultimately everyone with this problem should be getting a replacement. That could be a lot of people.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyshion:
I'd love to see how you jumped to such a definite conclusion. I live in a warm climate to begin with, temperatures are actually lower now than they were a month and a half ago, and the CPU of my OPO has definitely risen above the 41-45 Celcius range that people seem to quote for this current wave of issues (and I have corroborated with my own testing). However, if I go to the recovery, the touchscreen seems to have normal responsiveness, regardless of the CPU temperature. Unless it was a built in hardware malfunction set for a specific moment, the probability of a sample, even of this size, where a series of individuals can all see the exact same lineup of hardware-based issues occurring at the same time, is too ugly for me to try and imagine calculating. But I would fare to bet it isn't high.

However, if a set of users are all changing their software as new versions and builds come out, just as the release occurs... At least then you have a series of events occurring all at the same time. Not causation, but at least there's a stronger correlation than "it's warming up so now we see the hardware defects".

The temperature range this "defect" is being attributed to can be reached quite easily in normal use in temperate areas, but even in colder climates, it should be simple to reach such temperatures if the phone isn't underclocked, as the phone is set to charge, or even if the phone is running a software update of some kind, and countless other things.

TL;DR - Don't jump to conclusions that fast, weather changes aren't a strong correlation.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] goldengargoyle:
The outside temperature being warm would keep the screen hot for a prolonged period of time as compared to the phone heating while charging or intense usage. However, your recovery argument is spot on! The touch works flawlessly in recovery!
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] You_got_owned123:
Well I guess it's good that it's not hardware damage.

[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andresantos:
I think it's a software issue. I mean possibly there is hardware problems too but mine started appearing only after I installed the 5.1 update... also some things for me feel like a software issue for example when scrolling instagram back up to the top. as soon as it gets to the top it bounces back down again.. seems like software problem to me.
[ONE Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muku_:
This is definitely a hardware issue. My phone was working perfectly. Until I went on a 5 days trip and used it for navigation, and went very hot. Up until then I was on the same CM12 rom for weeks without a problem. Since then, I've flashed many roms and the problem persists. It's definitely a hardware problem. For me it occurs whenever the phone runs a little bit hot. Practically all the time when I'm on 3G. When the phone has been in my pocket with 3G on, it's almost impossible to unlock it when I try to use it.

I contacted Oneplus a week ago and I still try to get them to RMA the phone. They've sent me all sorts of crap emails, I wiped the phone and now they ask me to shoot a video to showcase the problem. This company has the worst customer service you can find. As much as I like the pricing, I won't be bothered again with their devices. I only hope they'll RMA it otherwise I'll open it myself and try to fix the grounding issue. There is a detailed how to which also explains what's the problem.
