[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stan.s:
Class doesn't tell anything about throughput

Manufactures are all over the place in terms of speed and classification.

I have 3 micro sd cards. Here's the test results for each:

1. 2G Sony class 2 (came with the phone): Write @ 4.4mb/s Read @ 10.2mb/s

2. 8G Sony class 4 (bonus card w/phone): Write @ 10.4mb/s Read @ 18.2mb/s

3. 32G Kingston class 4 (according to markings): Write @ 3.9mb/s Read @ 14.4mb/s

Now I want to mention that the Kingston is interesting, with the SD Tools testing, as it starts out writing at 15 or 16mb for a few seconds and then drops down to somewhere between 2.6-3.9mb/s.

Wanna guess which one feels the fastest in the phone? The 8G Sony class 4.

Speedtest with my new Kingmax 16GB class10:

I have a stock 2 gig SE SD Card:

Peace
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LususNaturae:
Well, after using & testing it, it is a genuine 32gb class 10, and it all worked perfectly . . .

That is, until I moved 4 gb of music onto it.

All of my clips & pictures were okay.

But as soon as all of my music was put on, the phone just seemed to give up.

Everything was SOOOOOOO slow to open, and it crashed and rebooted constantly.

It was literally impossible to do anything, but as soon as I removed all the music it went back to being perfect and super fast!?

I am so confused and thoroughly disappointed :(
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LordKitsuna:
Idk man i have 5GB music
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fantus1:
Wondering if transfer speed is somewhat determined by the amount of files being transfered?

I just got a 16gb class 10 Adata from newegg and transfered 1 700mb file, it was transfering at about 13mb, but now im transfering over about 3gb in 2000 small files and its transfering at 3-5mb/s, is that normal?

Thanks!
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Yes, that is quite normal, for the speed when transferring small files to be less than when transferring a big file.

Lexar is one of the two makers of professional cards and USB sticks, the other one being Sandisk. For both the speed rated products are incredibly fast, however their value products are utter crap (low performance and expensive).

But I must point out again that the Lexar speed rated products are absolutely excellent, I have 4-5 SD cards, 4-5 USB sticks from them in use around here.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LeoC:
Can easily distinguished the different between class 2 and 4, but not class 6. therefore, class 4 will be a good choice as the price being much more cheaper
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Darth Glacious:
I have a 16Gb Class4 from Kingston, saving pictures takes visibly less time now than it used to when using the Class2 microSD that came bundled with the phone.

Having also a Sandisk supposedly Ultra 8Gb microSD Class2 card I can tell you it is better than the bundled one, but somewhat slower than the Kingston Class4. For the amount paid and Ultra in the name, the performance is not worth it.

My recommendation would be the 32Gb Lexar Class10 from Amazon.co.uk if you really want the best microSD for shooting pictures and HD movies with your phone. Particularly if you are using the V8 camera mod of 28spawn, which requires cards capable of sustained 8Mb/s write speed.

Or you could go for the cheaper but less reliable Kingston, if you are not majorly interested in pimping your phone but want just to use it in good conditions.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The Realone:
I think SD Tools only does sequential reads/writes which makes it less useful to get statistics for everyday use like loading apps. You'd need a tool like CrystalDiskMark for Windows to test for random reads/writes.

also, if you've tryed initialising android a bunch of times, youve probably corupted the sd card while it attempts to create a new file system. format the card, put the android folder on it, and make sure you have the corect radio etc before attempting again.

Facebook has updated their app. It includes places, groups, and you can access notifications within app.
[EVO 4G General] akarol:
Who cares about Places and Groups?! The last feature has been long-awaited though!
[EVO 4G General] NinjaPenguin:
Hot dog.. this is good news. Good find!
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Just updated fine for me on Myn's.

The update includes:

Groups - support for those new 'small' groups

Places

Improved notifications - view the comments without leaving the app.

This is huge - it actually seems to work.

Overall, the app seems to work much faster and be snappier over 3G.
[EVO 4G General] fastfed:
Really wish I used facebook.. So over it now, but I bet our phones do a great job with it..
[EVO 4G General] pinksupervisor:
cool, thanks for thanks for the update.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Yeah the app is near perfect for me and just as enjoyable to use as the iPhone app.

Places works great, just used it, actually..

Just needs push notifications and chat.. Though I simply set facebook to send notifications to my push gmail account and BeejiveIM works great with Facebook chat.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
It's better but still "meh".

This, and cards, are the only place where I like Webos better. In facebook for webos...

You actually get notifications in the notification area when you have new notifications on Facebook.

Why can't we have that?

I'd also like the ability to delete posts and comments and the ability to "like" comments.
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
Yeah...why they can enable push notifications is beyond me. Its on the iOS, webos, and blackberry apps...android really gets left out.

I also wish they'd improve the update status menu/area. The 1.5 line thing that they have now is very hard and doesn't allow for a very long update...their mobile website is better.
[EVO 4G General] casual864:

[EVO 4G General] SilentSummer:
It's an improvement for sure.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Hold on a post and you can like and or post a comment.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
I know that. I'm saying I should be able to delete posts too.

Also, I should be able to like comments like I can on the site and delete my own comments.

Don't know why you can't via any facebook app on any platform.
[EVO 4G General] warmachine69:
"Cannot retrieve notifications" error...
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Whenever receiving an error of any kind, after updating any app of any kind, you should clear any data/cache that is associated with the app.

If that doesn't work, then take the step of uninstalling and then reinstalling.

That usually fixes problems after updates.
[EVO 4G General] tony0691:
You can delete your own posts on the app I just did it now to make sure I wasn't just imagining it. Just hold down on your post and it gives u an option to comment or like, or remove post. I found it in the last update. Don't know if its been around longer than that...
[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
This was in the old app as well. Doesn't look like it's changed. You can only remove posts that you've done from the app, which is nice, but sucks that you can't do ones from your laptop, ect.
[EVO 4G General] mattykinsx:
Actually, I just tried and you CAN remove comments ON YOUR OWN POSTS but not comments you make on others posts.

You also CANNOT like comments.

You CANNOT delete wall posts though.
[EVO 4G General] k4p741nkrunch:
I think the next added feature should be orientation options for the main app screen. For some reason you can view comments, pictures, and just about everything else in landscape, just not the main screen.

Otherwise loving that I don't have to open the browser when I want to read a comment :D

The notifications don't work for comments. That sucks. There is a app called f-plus that will give you notifications and Go Chat will take care of the fb chat.

I am sick of having 3 apps on my phone for the job that one app should be able to do.

On top of all that my post through the "official app" are not posting on the news feed. If anyone can chime in on that it would be very helpful.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cpasjuste:
Hi !

I'm actually porting/playing with ubuntu on my Galaxy S. The goal would be to boot ubuntu "natively" from the ubuntu initramfs, but since i was unable to get a working framebuffer output on kernel boot (if someone have a solution for this, it would really help me), i'm using a chrooted environment for now. Some guys already had ubuntu to run on the Galaxy S in a chrooted environment, but the android UI was still running (using a lot of memory) and we had to use VNC to experience the ubuntu desktop. With this version, X is using the s3cfb framebuffer and fbdev driver to draw to the screen. I have also modified a Xorg input driver (plpevtch) to have a preliminary touch screen support. Since we still run it after the android services initializations, ubuntu will use the current connection (wifi, 3G).

If someone want's to play/help/try this stuff, here is the procedure i'v done for now :

Requirements :

- A Linux computer ( tested on ubuntu 10.10 )

- Galaxy S i9000 running an android kernel with ext2 support ( tested with Universal lagfix kernel )

- root (provided with the previous kernel i think)

- busybox (market)

- sdcard 2GB at least, primary partition formated to ext2 (play with the scripts to change to fat or ext4 etc)

- I think that's all

Download :

Download the attached package and extract it, this one contains the required scripts to download/patch ubuntu, prepare the sdcard, and stat/stop ubuntu.

Usage :

create.sh :

usage : create.sh /path/to/my/ext2/sdcard

This script will download the ubuntu netbook 10.10 compressed image for arm, decompress it, mount it then copy the filesystem to a specified path (should be an ext2 formated partition on the sdcard, and be the first partition on the sdcard ( /dev/mmcblkXp1 ).

Should be run first, one time ...

start.sh :

usage : start.sh

This script run "droid_ubuntu_init.sh" on the phone, which stop the android interface, mount the sdcard, prepare the chrooted environment and start a chrooted session (chroot_init.sh, which simulate a "daemon" to allow services to run in the background and start the ubuntu desktop.

Should be run everytime you wants to start ubuntu.

update.sh :

usage : update.sh

At the first "boot", ubuntu desktop (X) will not work, we have to update the distribution. To do so, run "start.sh" (if not already done) to start ubuntu, then run this script. It will update ubuntu (you should really use a wifi connection to do so), and X should then work. It will also install an ssh server. This will take a long time :)

Should be run one time.

====== Notes =====

If you want to run some "services", you should edit the file "scripts/chroot_init.sh" and add your service here (after the ssh service for example).

The package contains the "patch" applied to the ubuntu rootfs, and the sources of the modified touchscreen xorg input driver.

I did not work on a "stop" script yet, you'll have to reboot the phone if you want the android UI back.

It's really a work in progress, nothing really usable for now.
