Micro SD Card Problem After Updating - Internal Storage - Adoptable?

After skipping a few updates because there were not enough changes to justify an update, I updated to S5 LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-03-27 via the built-in OTA Updater & everything works fine. I never had a Micro SD Card problem after updating.

"...I had to format my storage card because the system said it was broken" - As I suggested to you in a post above you could use the quick & easy SysLog immediately after such an error. You could attach the logcat to a post or open it w/ WordPad or similar to keep the formatting & see what the error was about.

"...After formating it worked again, but i needed to install some apps again - If some apps were not working after formatting then maybe you installed some apps on the external SD card or formatted the card as internal storage instead of portable storage which may cause problems. See Micro SD Card as Internal Storage - Adoptable Storage.

"...Nothing special" - It is IMO. One does not want that external SD card problem especially if you have some photos or other stuff on the Micro SD Card that are not backed up to computer or to the cloud.

"Here I made a screenshot of it. What I ask myself is, why it shows me that there another slot free ?..." - That looks like a Micro SD Card as Internal Storage but I'm not sure as I can't read German.

Since most of us don't speak German, you could change your > System > Language > to English before making a screenshot or provide a translation.

I included a screenshot of > Settings > Storage where you can see > Portable Storage > SanDisk SD card.

Could you tell me if this works for you as seen in the second screenshot: > LineageOS stock Files explorer > navigate to the external SD card > 3-dots > Storage settings > use Format instead of Format as internal which will format the card as Portable storage with the vfat FAT32 file system.

[MENTION=9353722]Eclipse1991[/MENTION] - After this Format is done maybe a notification will ask you if you want to use the Micro SD card as Portable storage or Internal storage. I would appreciate a confirmation of this please.

For the first time, I had updated the LineageOS 16.0 on my G900V device using the LineageOS Built-in Updater.

Everything seemed to have gone smoothly BUT, somehow my BusyBox Binaries got lost in the shuffle.

I then found that Root (for the few apps I had that required it) all popped up with the same message regarding them not able to locate the SU.

The system information reflected that Root was granted and was good to go. It wasn't :(

I then flashed the Official AddonSU again and Rebooted the device but, the same issue was present as beforehand.

I had fortunately prepared myself, for this possibility, and saved some screenshots and logs as well.

I put it all together with a detailed explanation and added it to the following GitLab issue I had previously submitted to the Lineage Team.

Difficulty in Maintaining Root on LineageOS 16.0 (klte) device... - LineageOS Gitter Issue #379

This issue was very unexpected but, possible bugs, issues, etc... all comes with the territory for custom firmware.

I just wanted to let you all know what's happening on my end. :thumbup:

Hi. I would like some feedback on Whatsapp performance on this ROM. Does it take several seconds to perform a contact search, as it happens on MM latest stock ROM?

I remember that the app performed just the same on Nougat LOS.

Sorry for the question, it’s just that I have a newborn and a toddler and I don't have the spare time to test the ROM myself.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
For me WhatsApp is working superbly fine.

Hope it helps

Thanks in advance for your detailed answer.

Yeah the thing which ive done wrong since tze beginning of LOS16 is, that I formatted the sd card as internal storage. I didnt know that this could lead to problems, so I will just format it as portable storage.

Indeed I got a notification if I would like to set it up as portable storage or as internal storage.

You can see on the pictures how it looks now. Im not quite sure but it might be true that my system is running a bit smoother now. Pretty good and impressive how a device from 2012 can still run like this, really cool.

In case I got sth strange again, ill provide you a SysLog. How does it exactly work, do I need to have the app open to get a log ? I guess I just need to save directly a log after a bug occurs, right ?

What if the internal storage of 16GB will be full btw ? Will the device continue getting storage from the external sd or how can I imagine ?

Edit: Thanks to your information I got it. Its just better to format it as external storage to avoid problems. Btw on the screenshot you can still see a slot with "SD-Karte von Samsung, not inserted", I got that thing away by clicking on it and pushing "forget" and typing yes.

What I havent understand so far is, what happens if the internal storage of 16GB is full ? Doesnt it mean that I cannot install new apps anymore and I need to make space for it ? Is it possible to let Whatsapp for example choose the external sd card as source for pictures & stuff ?

Internal Storage Full?

"...what happens if the internal storage of 16GB is full ? Doesnt it mean that I cannot install new apps anymore and I need to make space for it ?" - Yes. :eek:

I'm rich & lazy so my SD Maid does all the cleaning for me.

Recently I used SD Maid > AppCleaner to clear 545MB of cache to make a TWRP full backup much smaller.

Obviously uninstalling apps you don't really need & deleting the garbage in internal sdcard helps or moving it to PC or cloud.

If you move your internal sdcard/WhatsApp folder to external SD card the links in the chats to the Media will be broken according to several posts I read. See also WhatsApp FAQ - Moving WhatsApp to an SD card.

I will reply to the other parts of your posts later.

Thanks for the feedback which is important to learn which suggestions worked or not & it's also useful to other users with a similar problem.

Same for using the Thanks :good: button on useful posts besides being good for the ego of the poster & encouraging him to post more. {hint}

You don't know if it's the "same issue". Same symptom maybe but who knows if it's the same cause without a logcat & other troubleshooting data.

"...switch to other rom" - That's a nuclear troubleshooting step & won't tell you anything if it was a Wifi network problem that got solved while you were flashing that other firmware. :)

See S5 G900F Wifi Dropping? for some suggestions.

You did not say what is the build date of your current firmware but there's no recent changes related to Wifi @ the present as seen in https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ & so far exactly only 2 official 16.0 for S5 users reported a Wifi problem in this thread & one of them posted that the problem went away & maybe it's because he switched from band 5ghz to forced 2.4ghz.

Hi [MENTION=4122877]curiousrom[/MENTION] I've updated the troubleshooting that I've done on the log https://gitlab.com/LineageOS/issues/android/issues/402 for being unable to send mms.

In relation to my modem.. I updated my modem and bootloader to PDA	G900IDVS1CQE1

CSC	G900IXSA1CQD1 as per https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900I/XSA/download/G900IDVS1CQE1/191493/ as my device is the unbranded version - (ie I bought it outright at the local samsung store and it wasn't a branded version with either Telstra, Vodafone or Optus).

Despite this would you recommend that I update the modem to the optus version (as it is an optus reseller)? If I do this, will I need to update the bootloader too to mirror that on the OPS version https://www.sammobile.com/firmwares/galaxy-s5/SM-G900I/OPS/download/G900IDVU1CQJ2/201877/?

Thank you for your assistance.

I am still experiencing dropped sms (marked as received on sender phone, but never appearing on mine). I am on g900f with latest bootloader & modem from haggertk with opengapps pico. Of course not possible to provide a log as the issue is sporadic. Anyone saw the same?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Eclipse1991:

I have also already reported issues with wifi disconnection several days ago.

I noticed that the disconnections are frequent when connected to my router over the 5GHz band.

When connected over the 2.4 GHz band I get seldom or no disconnections.

Unfortunately it's not possible to force which band to use to connect over wifi

---------- Post added at 07:07 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:01 PM ----------

For people with dual SIM phones, has anyone experienced the following issue ?

- SIM1 set for Calls and SMS

- SIM2 set for data

Today I received an MMS over SIM1. When I tried to download the MMS, the data from SIM2 got disconnected, probably trying to force switch data over SIM1... and in any case I lost all data connection, and never managed to get the MMS.

I then tried switching to Airplane mode, Mobile data on/off, reset data to SIM2... it was impossible to get back the data, but by rebooting the phone !
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Ibuprophen:
Just an FYI in case those of you weren't aware of this...

The following (are what I can personally locate) that reflects one or more of the issues regarding WiFi, MMS and SMS for the klte and (possible) affected variants.

klte - LineageOS 16.0 - Default messaging app does not trigger notification light - LineageOS Gitter Issue #389

klteduos: no mobile calling with 15.1, SIM does not log into provider - LineageOS Gitter Issue #77

Unable to send and receive MMS Lineage 16 - Samsung Galaxy S5 - LineageOS Gitter Issue #402

I can only suggest 2 ways for helping with issues being reported...

1) If there's something reported, that also reflects an issue your experiencing, try and provide additional information within the matching issue to help out (even just a little). Sometimes if more than one individual posts their experiences with the same issue, it can be helpful as well.

2) If there's nothing reported, that reflects the same or similar issue as yours, try submitting the issue at hand with as much information as you can. Maybe someone else will see it and provide their information and experiences as well within your submitted issue.

Just a little suggestion/recommendation for one or more Lineage Team Maintainers to take not of and, hopefully, search for/submit some type of a resolution.

I hope that I had explained this okay via text... :eek:

Settings->System->Advanced->Updater

Sorry folks if this is a silly question, but there's nothing like not knowing the answer... :o

I used the unofficial 20190109 klte since it was released, and it worked just fine for my needs.

A few days ago, after seeing that the rom is now official, I thought that I could as well install it.

The latest available version was 20190326, so I downloaded and installed it (super clean install, following

this procedure

).

So far so good, but in the last couple of days I was notified of the availability of two newer version (27 + 28 March).

These are also visible accessing Settings->System->Advanced->Updater.

Now, I didn't download any of them, because I see no need to make heavy downloads/updates so often, but this made me wondering, for the future:

Starting from a clean install of 20190326, if and when I would like to install a more recent release, will it be possible to do that directly from the updater?

And if yes, does that preserve all installed apps and other configurations?

Thanks in advance!

S5 Wifi @ 5GHz Connection Drop - LineageOS OTA Updater

"I have also already reported issues with wifi disconnection several days ago" - Exact phone model, baseband & LineageOS build date?

"...disconnections are frequent when connected to my router over the 5GHz band. When connected over the 2.4 GHz band I get seldom or no disconnections" - I replied to you in Official 16.0, WiFi 2.4 GHz vs. 5 GHz & Substratum but you did not reply to this question:

Can't find that option either.

I don't have access to a dual band Wifi network but if you connect to yours & press on > Setting > Network & internet > Wi-Fi > connected network's name cog is there a band selection option? :confused:

Doesn't your S5 scan for networks in the Wi-Fi > press on the connected network's name panel? Don't you see both 2.4 & 5 GHz networks?

Again from that post which points to a possible 5GHz band signal strength problem: From NETGEAR Support What is the difference between 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz wireless frequencies?:

Maybe you could compare the signal strength of 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz in different locations with an app like Wifi Analyzer > eye icon > Channel graph or Network Analyser > Wi-Fi Signal or Network Signal Info?

***

I don't have any wifi problems on S5 G900M LineageOS 16.0 klte build 2019-03-27 + Open GApps Pico + LineageOS Addonsu but that's on the 2.4 GHz band and the most recent modem for my S5 as per S5 Odin Flashable Modem & Bootloader.

Pro tip: I copy/paste my phone description from a .txt doc so I don't have to type it every time.

LineageOS 16.0 OTA Updater

I used the built-in LineageOS 16.0 Updater several times including yesterday & it works fine. All settings, accounts & apps are preserved including LineageOS 16.0 Addonsu in my case.

Previously I was using Magisk for root & it also survives the OTA update as described here: S5 Official 16.0 OTA Update Success - 2019-03-02.

To be on the safe side make sure you have a recent TWRP full backup including the important EFS partition (screenshot).

I always check in Settings > System > Advanced > Updater > 3-dots > Changelog or in https://download.lineageos.org/klte/changes/ to see if there are enough changes to justify the trouble. as seen in the screenshots.

For example you said you are running S5 16.0 build 2019-03-26 and both builds 2019-03-27 and 2019-03-28 have exactly zero changes for the klte as seen in the last screenshot.

Also in Updater > 3-dots > Preferences you can choose the Auto updates check frequency (day/week/month) or choose Never to eliminate the Update available notification & just check manually once in a while.

Hey mate,

Have you had any luck getting Pay to work? If not I'd love to get that working 15.1 build off you so I can test it.

Although my current battery doesn't have 'NFC supported' written on it and I have read that the NFC antenna may be in the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
I paid two weeks ago successfully twice for two different apps from the store, without any problems at all. kltechn here.

Hope it helps...

Well you never know, until you... - put it to the test!

And I think the answer lies in your question, but still; if your battery has NFC, even if it's not written on it, you should have noticed already that it is working in previous LOS versions. No?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] darrenpauli:
Good to know it works!

I thought it could be a baseband issue. The worst outcome would be that the Australian baseband is too old for LOS16. I don't know enough about basebands to know if that's possible. I'm on the latest baseband from SamSam.

If it's just a battery issue, and I suspect it is since NFC isn't working on stock) then I am sorted and will report back.
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] shkedov:
Wait, in your post regarding Pay & NFC were you addressing two sperate stuff or did you mean one thing?

Anyway I can't believe that the Australian related baseband is less updated than the Israeli one, haha.:p

Again mate you'll have to check by yourself.

Perform a good twrp backup and test, I wish I could be now in Australia to check for you. If anything isn't working simply restore back to normal with twrp and you're good

All the best!

Does anyone know why the opengapps install kills the VZW data connectivity on haggertk 10/9? Doesn't seem to matter what the modem is (tried QH2 and QL1), and even my backups (10/2 and 10/9 LOS 15.1) seem flaky (very intermittent 4G).

There is No magisk install, no other customizations, no launchers, and nothing else installed. 4G was very consistent until first install of this rom, or rather with the gapps install after a reboot.

Another post mentioned fixing it using an odin flash of a non-aboot touchwiz? Is that really necessary (I'm tending to believe it is), and where can I find one?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] ozzycao:
Has anyone else had this problem with the screen?
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Raynelfss:
Yes but it's not because of the ROM. It's a problem very common in the S5, when at low temperatures the screen starts flickering at low brightness. I experience this problem and it does bother me but I got used to it.

Yes, i had this issue sometimes ago. But at Lineage 15/haven't no more. But... Came back with 16....
[Samsung Galaxy S 5 Unified Development] Gbrl95:
It's not a rom related problem, it is due to the aging AMOLED screen that S5 has. I had the same issues as with your phone, and I adjusting the screen brightness in Live display> Color calibration and set it to 60 all. Then it is a little bit dimmer.

Thank you to the people who answered me so quickly, and of course, much respect to the devs for undertaking this.

I have a serious headscratcher for [MENTION=2693412]haggertk[/MENTION] and everyone else:

I had LTE when I first installed the 10/9 16.0 unofficial. That seemed lost when I installed the 10/9 opengapps mini. I reverted to backup 10/9 15.1 official, but now basically get only 3G, and even that isn't consistent.

However, my office is near a VZW tower, and in one specific area of the building, I have consistent LTE now that I'm back on LOS15.1. I live and work in New Jersey, and until this I haven't seen a 3G or 1x in years. The fact that it works in one spot rather than the whole building/area makes me wonder if there's some sort of threshold for the signal that is altered. I have no idea where to look for useful information, but if theres any logfile or other data that can help get this fixed, I'd be happy to grab or forward it.
