[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Do you have wifi turned on?
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
yes

it works perfectly........... but only when the sd card is out of the phone. before backing up it seems to want to calculate how much music is on the sd card
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
I have a 200Gb card with loads of images and music and don't have any issues. Did you disable any services with Package Disabler pro? That might be an issue as when you restore a backup from the cloud you have to re-enable all services.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Could be a fake SD card. Did you buy it from a reputable seller? Fake cards can be incredibly slow or take ages to scan contents because they often use shady tactics to make the card appear to be 128Gb for example when accessed on a phone or PC while in reality being much smaller in capacity (2-16gb etc). These fake cards can look incredibly convincing too so dont be fooled by an elaborate copy.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Here's an app from the Play Store that can check if you have a counterfeit sdcard, SD Insight. The app isn't compatible with the S8 but if you have an older phone you can test your sdcard.

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
Card has been used in 3 Samsung phones. Never had this issue before. Is not a fake card and not disabled and packages
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
If its been with you for at least 3 phone cycles, was the speed ever really that good to begin with? It sounds like it may be an older card perhaps. Keep in mind, technology moves quick.

If you happen to be using a card that was cheap/midrange only a couple years ago, it would stand to reason that it may be underwhelming and feeling pretty slow by today's standards.

Download an app along the lines of "A1 SD Bench" and run a test for me. Post your Read/Write speed results in here for us when you're finished.

If the result of this test is poor you may want to look at the newer UHS-I supported cards if speed is becoming an issue.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
I bought the card pretty much when 128gb micro SD cards were released and use it every day in the phone with no problems to play music and store pics

To be fair I presume that means it's old tech and I've been meaning to replace it. Just bought a brand new Samsung 256gb one.

Don't understand what any of the jargon means regarding sdcards and can't be bothered to test the issue.

To be fair it never occurred to me that the card is a bit long In the tooth as I've used it with the s7 edge with no probs. So just surprised the s8 struggles
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
Why even bother posting if you "you can't be bothered to test the issue?"
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
Because I decided I wanted to.

I tend to do what I want and considering the card is in 100% working order what's the point.

If times have changed and I've gotten to answer that it's old tech I can replace it with newer tech.

Thanks for your help but I can assure you I'll post what I want, when I want, how I want. I don't have to do anything I don't want to when I've already been told the card is old tech
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Ah yes, I figured that was the case. It will be interesting to know if that new card solves your problem. If you still want to run a quick benchmark on your old card its not as involved as it sounds. If you use the app I recommended before you just choose your SD card in the UI and it should only take a few minutes to run a speed test.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
Read speed: 33.97 mb/s

Write speed: 10:78 mb/s

Presume this is rubbish. I bought the SanDisk card the week 128gb cards were released in the UK so it's quite old now but never had any problem with it.

All photos and all my music is on the card. Never had any issues with it. Have now purchased the following:

[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] ggrant3876:
My 2 year old 200Gb card:

Read 1692.00MB/s

Write 14.81MB/s
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Oh wow, that write speed is pretty terrible. The read speed is "passable" I guess but still below average and well below the UHS-I cards.

I had one of the first 64GB Sandisk cards (around the time of the Galaxy S4 I'd like to say?) so I know what you mean but that thing was relegated to my drawer long ago after I realized just how agonizingly slooow it was.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
it isn't slow

it's perfect for listening to music from and saving all pics to. perfect to the point of there would be no need to change the card. exceptional performance.

why the s8 has issues trying to calculate the amount of music on it to back-up even when i've toggled it NOT to backup music is a bit of a stupid upgrade on the s8 when the s7 was fine.

maybe samsung haven't figured out that most sd card users just throw pics, film and music on it so it doesn't need to be super fast as they've toggled off the backup option. seems to be a really strange software decision to try and calculated stuff to back up you don't want backing up lol
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Objectively it is on the slow side but I understand what you mean. If all you plan on doing is copying a load of files to it once and only need it to access a few songs or pics here and there than you're right it should be fine. Let us know if you're able to solve your issue with a new card or whether the problem persists. :good:
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
I've used it all an excuse to buy the 256gb card though.

Is the one I've bought any good?

Samsung MB-MC256DAEU 256 GB EVO Plus MicroSDXC UHS-I Grade 3 Class 10
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Its quick as hell. "Up to 95MB/s Read and 90MB/s Write speed with UHS-I, Class 10 and U3 compatibility."

It should serve you well for quite a while I'd imagine. Even I'm tempted to get one right now.

Waterproof (IEC 60529, IPX7)

Temperature-proof

X-ray-proof

Magnetic-proof

10 year warranty

Not bad, not bad.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
I've never had a Samsung card . Always had the sandisk ones
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
The new card hasn't solved the problem.

It's still trying to calculate the music to backup from my super fast Samsung 256gb memory card.

It's about 100gb full of music
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] xeathpk:
Unless you can figure out a way to bypass it scanning your card altogether, you might just have to live with it, unfortunately. 100gb of music is a lot to process. It should be substantially quicker than scanning your old card I would imagine but its probably still going to take a while. That's about as good as its gonna get unless you can find another way bud.
[Samsung Galaxy S8+ Questions & Answers] mikeyaj:
it never finishes scanning, thats the point.

i can essentially never back up my phone due to this
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistersky:
I see nothing new comming up. Most people run PN with franco and get 5h SoT barely. Every other project has stopped.

Is there hope for this device anymore regarding speed or battery improvements?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neth15:
You serious?

There's Sailfish OS, OXI Rom, Dirty Unicorns, PixelROM, EX kernel, Jolla kernel, Multirom and Lineage OS to name a few. I guess everyone is just waiting for final Android O.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _jordan_:
Lineage os made this phone great again. I was about to trash it and get a new device but then decided to give it one last hurrah and too/boot.

Not dead.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Akopps:
I have rooted pretty much every Android device I have, but I think the 5x is great as is without root or custom ROM. If you're disappointed with poor SoT, you probably should find out that most other devices out there also have poor SoT, regardless of what ROM you use. The 5x is still a fine device because it has a great screen and a great camera, and it will receive guaranteed monthly security updates until late 2018. Only google devices enjoy that last privilege.

As for the poor screen on time, if it bothers you, just buy yourself a nice power bank. Those things are cheap. The other day I walked into Best Buy and found a 20000mah power bank on sale for like 30USD. This thing fully charged will recharge a smartphone fully thee or four times, which is plenty for most.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sinistersky:
Nah mate. It's not the screen on time. But every ROM is the same to me. Hell, Ive been running stock rooted for months now. Is lineage os thst good?
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shut_down:
Speaking about SOT, I had old Xperia Z and with new battery it did not pass 1.5 hours of SOT...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alcagoita:
A phone with Android O by Google, and you create a topic like this?

Maybe it's joke day...
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4turno:
We can't expect speed improvements from a device that, when compared to other devices, is slow. The Nexus 5X was never a "flagship". It doesn't have too much RAM, so it will never be good at multi tasking. The processor is OK, but was never the most powerful. The only good thing is the camera, which still is one of the best available on phones.

I know some users will say that this phone is fast and smooth... and it is, when compared to the original Nexus 5 or to some old Galaxy. But even a Oneplus 2 is faster and lags less.

I'm not too worried about custom ROMs. We have LineageOS and a few ROMs based on AOSP and LOS, Google still supports the phone and we will get Android O, but let's not forget that this phone was released almost 2 years ago... development is not going to grow now. Maybe ParanoidAndroid will bring something new, but we should not expect anything big. Only updates that will keep the phone alive.

If you want new features try DirtyUnicorns, ResurrectionRemix, AICP, Slim or LineageOS.
[Nexus 5X Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamterence:
You do realize that most of the features that people even rooted Android for, are now part of stock Android itself, right? I get what you're saying, but for me, stock rooted or minimally-featured ROMs are good enough for me, because they have everything I need.

And yeah, like everyone else was saying, we all have a phone that's almost two years old, with slightly above-average specs, that was overshadowed from the jump by it's big brother, the Nexus 6P. But honestly with the state of Android today and the ROM scene, I'd say that we're pretty okay. I'd say that we're great, even. It could DEFINITELY be worse, like having GSM/CDMA variants and the CDMA side barely having any support whatsoever (which would be my case because Sprint).

We're good, man. Trust me.

[LineageOS Questions & Answers] nE0sIghT:
Hello, all.

I experience a very strange bug trying to build LineageOS for LG L65 (w55ds) device [1]. This tree is for sure working since another user do not experience this issue and I able to build it fine with Ubuntu chroot.

My system is fully updated Gentoo box and I'm using OpenJDK 1.8.0_131 (IcedTea 3.4.0).

Build going fine and "lineage-14.1-<date>-NIGHTLY-w55ds.zip" zip image is produced, however it's (system.new.dat) content is differs from what is in "out/target/product/w55ds/system[.img]". All symbolic links in bin and xbin directories (acpi -> toybox, app_process -> app_process32 ...) replaced with target binaries. Also symlinks to ".so" libs are missing from "app/*/lib/arm".

I also tried to create Ubuntu Xenial chroot using debootstrap and build image fine using this chroot. So the problem is in some software [?] in my Gentoo box.

Any thoughts why this is happens?

I'm digging the P9 Lite but I am not so keen about EMUI. I had a OP2 for a short while but found it too big and the screen was terribly washed out, but I thought the OS was excellent.

Anyone knows how to turn to normal mode statusbar with root or xposed ?

In Android Nougat the bar behaves the same way in Power Saving mode that it does in normal mode. So, upgrade your phone, get a fresh new android version and get rid of the hideous gray bar.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] inneyeseakay:
Lower the saturation some. Shooting inside in low light (yes that is low light from a photography standpoint) you are going to have some noise from the camera "bumping the ISO" Esentially the camera is making the photo sensor more sensitive to light so it can pick up the picture, pretty cool, but there's a downfall. NOISE. It's the little greenish specs in the darker areas of the picture.

The smaller the sensor, the more noise. As you can imagine, the sensor on your TyTNII or Tilt is TINY. Don't take test pictures inside, if you want great indoor pictures, buy a digital camera; if you want great indoor pictures without flash, buy a DSLR.

Go take a couple test shots outside, see how those look.
