I had one Sandisk MiniSD card that failed. Fortunately Sandisk replaced it within about 2 weeks.

I have Kingston cards too and they have been reliable. I would not recommend buying no-name brand memory cards from Ebay.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] dbltap:
I hope you read all the way to the bottom of that ad. Because you didn't buy the card. You bought a Wholesale list of things you can buy! That card is just an illustration of what you can buy from the list you just paid $29.95 to obtain!

At the bottom in RED.....

This auction is for the wholesale list, not the item pictured. The picture is for illustrational purposes only and is a sample of what can be purchased from the wholesalers on the list. No refunds will be given!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] dbltap:
Well, I hope you never have to return a dead card to them. It took a MONTH of dealing with their RMA dept to return a defective 2 gig microSD card. First they wanted a product code number as it was printed on the card itself. I couldn't see one. They told me I might need a magnifying glass. Finally, I had to tak the card out into sunlight and take a micro zoom digital photo and sent it to them. a week later I had to call them back and get them to look at the photo and agree I had a legit SanDisc card. Several more days before they finally issued an RMA. I sent the card back. And THEN they told me I had to provide Proof of Purchase! I don't know about the rest of you, but I don't really keep cash register receipts for $25 parts that have a 5 year warranty! After several more e-mail exchanges and escalation, they finally sent a replacement.

I can't really bring myself to buy another SanDisc product. Not because I don't trust the product. But I do not like that kind of customer service for a $25 part. I'll wait for Kingston or Patriot or Trancend to have it. YMMV

Hi all,

I'd like to use my hermes as a MP3 player and put the whole european TomTom on it...there for I need a few things..

8 Gig SDHC Micro SD

Some Headphones (either bluetooth or I prefer an adapter of some sort that willl let me plug in regular ones). Or I use ones that shipped with device.

errr. That's it.

Where's the best/cheapest/reliable working 8 gig card on the market at the moment in the UK. The mobymemory one?

I have a 4gb SDHD and it works great in my 8525, but I just want to ask a quick off topic question, anyone see a mp3 player that takes SDHD cards? I'd like to be able to have a SDHD compatible mp3 player for doing things in a non safe $600 dollar phone environment (biking, beach, etc.).

And yes I googled for 30 minutes before posting this with no luck.

Thanks!

8GB Card Availability - Accurate Information from Sandisk

I spoke with a high level manager at Sandisk US today regarding a project I am involved with that utilizes micro sdhc cards. The project requires as much memory as possible and I asked them when the 8GB would be available for testing and for purchase.

I was told that testing units to

qualified partners

would be available in Q4 of this year with full production around the beginning of 2008.

Any other information you get from a possible seller should be suspect and viewed as inaccurate.

Unfortunately this will keep the cost of the 4GB high until 2008.

[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rene_ajax:
I am planning to buy this awesome phone

But I want to hear some user experiences, because I never have had an Alcatel before.

So....

- How is the service of Alcatel? Especially when it comes down to warranty

- Is this phone future proof? (talking bout the idol 3 5,5'')

- How about the support on XDA? ROMS, kernels, ability to root, unlock bootloader....

- Last but not least, if you had an Alcatel before, how was your experience with it?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frankee207:
Don't know it, sorry. It's my first Alcatel too.

No, I dont' believe. I may mistake.

Very good.

Root and TWRP available, bootloader unlocked. Few custom Rom (only 1) for the moment, but source code delivered juste some day ago, so... I do think the phone should get a intersting rom development.

Not concerned personnaly
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andyadler:
I've owned an Idol 3 for about five weeks now (got it for $200 on Amazon Prime Day). It's everything I need in a handset, and I give props to Alcatel for making a prompt firmware update (in the U. S. anyway) available that addressed the Stagefright issue and significant bugs involving Google Voice and native SMS. I hope to get further updates to 5.1/Marshmallow, but even if that doesn't happen I'm more than satisfied.

I'm on T-Mobile in New Orleans, BTW.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rene_ajax:
so, at this point it is not sure if it gets updated to Android M?
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stl1859:
Can you explain what you mean by "future proof" ? This phone has a 64 bit , Octa core, ARMv8 chip . In that respect, it has quite the latest hardware. The software it is running today - is clearly under-performing. But there is no guarantee that in future , a custom ROM (or a future Android version) , will not be able to take advantage of the latest instruction set, 64 bit architecture, and all 8 cores running simultaneously.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maigre:
I think the key with considering a purchase of this phone is to keep expectations in check. It's not comparable to a flagship from one of the big name companies. The Nexus 6 I'm using has its faults, but it's way faster and smoother. It feels more solid. Plus it has the advantage of the enormous dev community and user base for ROMs, kernels, fellow users, all kinds of things. A phone like the Idol 3 is not likely to ever have more than a tiny fraction of that.

The Idol 3 is light, thin and has great whites and natural colors. Blacks aren't as deep as on some displays, but it's all tradeoffs. That light weight is worth something, too. It's one of my favorite features of the device. The sound from the speakers is surprisingly decent. I like the near stock Android ROM. Now that TWRP is available, it's simple to root. It's also plain, plasticky, occasionally sluggish. What the company's plans are as far as updating to 5.1.1 or M is anyone's guess. Same for whether or not there'll be ROMs, kernels and such.

It's a very nice phone for the money that should be usable for most as a daily driver. Just don't expect it to be something it's not.
[Onetouch Idol 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrdoug:
Very good post and very true. It is a solid entry into the market at a good price. Re: upgrades... I emailed Alcatel and was told there are no plans to update to 5.1 OR 6. Not that they can't change their minds, but I'd say assume this is EOL for the phone's OS. That said, it's a good phone if you like 5.0 and can live with its bugs.

If its android 5.1.1 then you will need to downgarde to 5.0.2 or better 4.4.2 by downloading ftf firmwaire files and then flashing it by using flashtool then you can easily root, install NUT dual recovery and then can flash any pre rooted 5.1.1 ROM from development section

My Huawei ascend p7-l01 seems to have only 1,84gb usable space

Yesterday i bought this phone. I was really convinced that it will suit me. Boy, was I in trouble, when i came back home and started tinkering with the phone. I saw only 1,84gb usable space! The phone should have 16gb in total and maybe 9-13gb usable space to some websites. I do not know what is it. Can anyone help? I tried clean master which actually made my usable space to 1,89gb. I will do a factory reset later today. Though any other options? Also this phone is new bought from a legit place(Mobile operator). Any help?
[Huawei Ascend P7] l3Nni:
I would send it back to them and demand for a new one/ repair. This issue is probably caused by flashing a wrong firmware by your operator, I had the same problem using a Chinese rom and an European device. This is all really unfortunate, but I believe you will get a new one without problems.
[Galaxy S 5 General] Robotukas:
Before I broke three HTC Android phones. and I left forever HTC Android phones, now I broke Samsung S5 and no more Samsung Android phones.

Reason is crappy battery

Poor android design.

Poor rooting capability.

Phone didn't last 1 year.

Every time google is bul****ting that with new version we improved performance, battery life. I was with android family since 1.6 and in that period I didn't performance improvement. Always forcing you to buy now and more powerful phone. If update to new version of android so your phone is getting ****ed. So where is performance?

My next phone will Windows 10.

[Galaxy S 5 General] rrgrrg:
windows phones are great but they are not made from steel so dont think they will last from a fall like you said :silly:
[Galaxy S 5 General] Robotukas:
Is not about steel, its about stability, battery life and multitasking. ;). I want smart phone, not just phone to make calls. Did you notice that with every big update it takes more and more space, also it eat more memory and CPU. I expected that it will be more polishing and looking a way to improve battery life. We don't need to wait until it comes better battery technology.

Another interesting thing. Why smartwatches last longer than android phone? Why they can't make same on android phones? Watch is 6 times smaller than phone :). I think that google are going to wrong way something that I didn't expect. I though that google developers don't follow apple strategy to make OS which consume more and more battery and power to force people to buy new phone because of OS and Security flaw. I buy with two reason every two years: With contain better hardware and improved OS. But always you get improved hardware. So when they will start to think how to improve OS? How many years we need to wait until they will go to right way?

Sagem & htc are my first models not tactiles one's

I discover Samsung by galaxy s1 nowadays

I ve sg s5

I m not samsung avocado's , far from this

flyover all main models s2 s3 s4 s5 ...etc

Seduced by card memory external , easy flashing ,

big choice developpements : roms kernels

Recovery & others things

My idea : Windows 10 is very good for pcs

for phones it's debatable btw !

[Galaxy S 5 General] Jul84:
I don't understand people talking about broken phones as the subject is Android.

And i have to say, I also start to feel like a fool every time we see new Android updates supposedly improving performance, battery and ram usage.

The reality is that battery does not improve, everything takes more space and ram. All the times Google told us battery improved, we should have phones that last 10 days already...

All the security issues for which there is no quick patch available for everybody highlight another big(ger) flaw of Android.

I also think that Google should take a step back and improve all these points and stop being a accomplice of this "programmed obsolescence" used by all manufacturers to push people to switch to new phones from lack of support after not even 2 years.

We are using phones more and more as computers and payment methods, we do everything with them. Security deserves a more important focus that it currently does, especially for such expensive phones.

Hopefully Windows 10 will improve this, bring some better competition and push Google and manufacturers to take this more seriously...

[Galaxy S 5 General] Robotukas:
If Samsung doesn't follow HTC by shipping phones with dozens pre-installed apps so battery life it would 20% better. I don't use crappy apps what Samsung is offering. I paid £600 for peace of technology but not for crappy apps. So better I will buy phone which is close to stock and allow me to install what exactly need to me and for my work.

There are actually some pity such as stabiliy but be slow in offical ROMs , cannot update after 'purifing' , low camera quality in third-party ROMs......
[Galaxy S 5 General] Robotukas:
Why I have to root my phone? Only reason to root a phone if I want to get paid apps for free. But I am buying apps. For me is more important battery life, stability than features. I don't surprise why Samsung failing to make more sales, because they are thinking more about sales from apps than actually phone. Before I was buying phone just to explore what is inside, performance and features. But at this moment I am buying phone first for stability, second for longer battery life, third features.
[Galaxy S 5 General] *Detection*:
Huh? Since when did you need root to pirate apps?
[Galaxy S 5 General] Michael_P:
The reason I'm leaving Samsung is they're going too far style over substance by removing features to attract the Apple crowd, and the OLED screen burn on my S5 is incredibly bad so I'm switching over to IPS screen phones.

listen son, i asked mods to close this thread, it was mostly to sve you the embarassment, but since my report is still being dealt with after a few days im assuming you're low priority. it also means youre fair game.

the next time you buy a device, buy apple. because it seems like anything slightly more difficult than pushing icons and pressing "ok" on dialogs is more than you can handle.

the fact you posted the phrase "Why I have to root my phone?" while looking for answers in a DEVELOPMENT FORUM explains to me at the very least you're a fair few sandwiches short of what i can only assume was a poor mans picnic at best.

you're the only person whose battery life is THAT bad, everyone else here has modified their devices or found some hack to deal with what they want to do.

you sound like you shouldn't have to do some work to get what you want despite that being a lot of androids basic appeal

dont let the door hit you on the way out!
[Galaxy S 5 General] Robotukas:
Listen Father, you still don't get that where is people with different opinions and just you don't want to accept. You also you don't understand what if you need to hack or root phone to get performance is not good phone in first place. If you can make better performance by hacking or rooting phone so Dev can't do same way.

To have phone from fruit company (apple) is not a problem. But I don't like Dev team and how they bul **** people every year that they done great job.

My S4 was slower than my S5 with battery saver on.

S4 gave me 2-3 hours screen on time whereas the S5 gives me 5+.

GPS on my S4 drained my battery within 45minutes, on my S5 it lasts for hours.

My S4 was rooted and still nowhere near as good as S5.

Difference between s4 and s5 is quite noticeable whereas the sufference between s5 and s6 is not so big.

Battery issues are more often related to high screen resolutions and inefficient SoCs than software issues.
