[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] alsheron:
Was super impressed to see and try this ROM. Was looking forward to being able to merge internal and SD card space but in the end I keep having major issues with the SD card either saying it's not a recognised format or else not showing that it's been inserted at all or else suddenly not working.

Are these pretty major issues with the SD card known and if so are there fixes/workarounds that can be applied now or are some on the way in future updates? The Gpad 8.3 is well known for being unreliable with it's SD card and I've had various issues on a few different ROMs even the official one.

Rebooting, taking the card out and reinserting and re-formatting doesn't seem to help. I have a 64bg Sandisk Extreme SD card if that makes any difference. Have to move to another ROM for now (Official CM 12.1) to get the SD card working reliably which is a real shame as this one looks so promising so hopefully the SD card support will be fixed eventually. Can the fixes implemented in other ROMs for the buggy SD card on the Gpad be used in this ROM?

Thanks for the great job and providing this for all of us The G pad 8.3 still going strong!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
The sdcard problems started occurring when the gpad was upgraded from jellybean to kitkat. The problem is with the kernel and the new changes to the sleep state. We need to compare the jellybean kernel with the kitkat kernel and see what changed.

I haven't had any issues with my 32gb SD card through I haven't tried converting it to internal storage, formating it and basically rarely use it period. But every time I read a comment with an issue I check and the card is there and accessible. Starting to think it's card/capacity specific
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] wizzardsk:
Ok, you are not doing the things I do. There is no general problem with sd, just some apps cannot write to it to every directory. I solved my sync thing by using app specific folder for sync my photos. Except some unmounts during sleep it works fine.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
I don't get any unmounts. I just did an app backup with tibu to test write access.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GXGOW:
I also experience SD card unmounts, but it automatically remounts. I have formatted it as internal storage since I flashed this ROM. Only Swiftkey and FX File Explorer still have problems after it remounted. Swiftkey doesn't give predictions anymore (Predictions unavailable. Check SD Card) and FX can't read the SD card anymore (access was denied).

However, when I navigate to the SD card through /mnt/... I can only see the folder 'Android'. That's probably the reason why e.g. Google Play Music doens't have any issues at all. I'm still wondering why it won't let me access all other directories on my SD card.

Btw has anyone managed to make the SD card recognisable through TWRP? It shows up as 0 MB on my device, which is pretty weird.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] uzi2:
Never had any problems accessing SD card from TWRP and it will not be ROM specific. Oh, wait you have formatted it as internal storage. Is it just formatted as EXT4 or are there other partitions? Maybe check it externally with a card reader to see what is happening?
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] GXGOW:
I can confirm that it is formatted as EXT4. That's how Marshmallow did it anyway.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Not only format, I think that will encrypt it too.

Now I'm confused, I thought you had to restore an older calendar version to make it work?

I only tried to make one calendar, when it didn't work I just made it on my phone and assumed I'd done something wrong. I didn't think about testing it to see if it was ROM based. :-/

BTW thanks a lot to the dev, this is so much better than stock rom!

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
V4A installs its own drivers, gives you wide range of control over the audio output, and the ability to change the loudness is only one-dimenssional approach to looking at it. But it's up to you if you want to give it a shot :)

[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Usually is called "dirty flash" but yes, I did it yesterday and only cleared dalvik/art cache and reflashed supersu (immediately after rom, just in case).
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jeuf37:
If I don't flash SuperSU I lose root. So not just in case for me...
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
I just supposed that it's gonna happen and flashed supersu ;)
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Deltadroid:
There is an option in SuperSU to enable it's backup script to restore SuperSU automatically after a dirty flash. You shouldn't need to flash SuperSU every time the ROM is updated.

Sir the small patches are fixes from you or lets say new code for better management of battery ram etc..?

And at the first reboot after flash last build calendar dosn't work but after a second reboot it work again, i don't know why...

No particular problem with wifi connection, it work fine for me :good:

In my opinion are better previous builds.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] jonup:
I'm not sure what's the point of switching the WiFi off, but there other things you can do aside from tasker, that are built-in the ROM. And if you primary concern is battery life, I doubt you are this 1 on a million who doesn't use the tablet near an outlet. Now think about the other issue introduced with doze in M. Every time you turn you WiFi on after extended sleep, all apps try to sync and your device slows down. It is apparent even on N6p.
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] NewKindOfWorld:
yes i'm switching wifi off for battery life, but that's not the point, that's my concern, I don't want to discuss this habit and pollute this topic with it :)

Just pointing out that switching wifi on, from off state, results in about 20/30 seconds reconnection time.

Everything else is fine and thanks for the great work!
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] kaosb0x:
I don't get that problem, never have, download "nap time" from Franco, if you have to turn off you're WiFi to conserve battery life you have something set wrong, maybe Bluetooth? =p
[G Pad 8.3 Android Development] Zeljko1234:
Looks like that just takes longer than usual to get IP. If you're using wifi at home, try to set up static IP, etc. for your subnet. Long tap on connected wifi, modify network, advanced options, IP settings

I haven't noticed any slow charging problem. I got my tab second-hand with no charger. Using a Samsung 2A it charges quickly, using my Sony 1.5A it is slower but not as slow as a computer USB port.
