FAT32

In order to overcome size limit of FAT16, while at the same time allowing DOS (disk operating system) real mode code to handle the format, and without reducing available conventional memory unnecessarily, Microsoft implemented a next generation, known as FAT32. Cluster values are represented by 32-bit numbers, of which 28 bits are used to hold the cluster number, for a maximum of approximately 268 million (228) clusters. This allows for drive sizes of up to 8 TiB with 32 KiB clusters, but the boot sector uses a 32-bit field for the sector count, limiting volume size to 2 TiB on a hard disk with 512 byte sectors.

On Windows 95/98, due to the version of Microsoft's SCANDISK utility included with these operating systems being a 16-bit application, the FAT structure is not allowed to grow beyond 4,177,920 (< 222) clusters, placing the volume limit at 127.5 GiB (≈137 GB).[13][14] A limitation in original versions of Windows 98/98SE's Fdisk utility causes it to incorrectly report disk sizes over 64 GiB.[15] A corrected version is available from Microsoft, but it cannot partition drives larger than 512 GiB (≈550 GB).[16] The Windows 2000/XP installation program and filesystem creation tool imposes a limitation of 32 GiB.[17] However, both systems can read and write to FAT32 file systems of any size. This limitation is by design and according to Microsoft was imposed because many tasks on a very large FAT32 file system become slow and inefficient.[13][18] This limitation can be bypassed by using third-party formatting utilities.[19] Windows Me supports the FAT32 file system without any limits.[20] However, similarly to Windows 95/98/98SE there is no native support for 48-bit LBA in Windows ME, meaning that the maximum disk size for (parallel) ATA disks is 128 GiB (≈137 GB),[21] the maximum size of an ATA disk using the previous long-standard 28-bit LBA.

FAT32 was introduced with Windows 95 OSR2, although reformatting was needed to use it, and DriveSpace 3 (the version that came with Windows 95 OSR2 and Windows 98) never supported it. Windows 98 introduced a utility to convert existing hard disks from FAT16 to FAT32 without loss of data. In the NT line, native support for FAT32 arrived in Windows 2000. A free FAT32 driver for Windows NT 4.0 was available from Winternals, a company later acquired by Microsoft. Since the acquisition the driver is no longer officially available.

The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte (232−1=4,294,967,295 bytes). Video applications, large databases, and some other software easily exceed this limit. Larger files require another formatting type such as NTFS.

il file data.img si trova nella cartella "data2sd" oppure lo ha messo nella sd e basta?

ha messo anche il file .config nella SD (che deve essere FUORI dalla cartella data2sd)

check that data.img is in data2sd folder and .config is out of that folder.

Lol thank's mate, happy you enjoyed it :D
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] DHARQAXIAN:
I have the same problem and I think its' to do with the size of the folder NOT the SD..., the folder will only accepts image files 3GB or less.

EDIT : Just read nesatom's explaination of files sizes and restrictions due to FAT32;

"The maximum possible size for a file on a FAT32 volume is 4 GiB minus 1 byte (232−1=4,294,967,295 bytes)" ..., which basically Computing 101..., (*^_^*) something I should have realised A LOT EARLIER than I did...!!!

my apn are setted automatically from my provider, so didnt noticed this.

Will consider to add apn-conf.xml from CM on next release.

900 downloads. no one reported this problem. so maybe is problem with your sd card. try other reboots and let it settle for 1-2 minutes after boot. if not works, reflash.

yes, but is nicey :D

sembra che sei il solo ad avere questo problema, non so come aiutarti, mi dispiace. per favore scrivi in inglese altrimenti qualche mod ti banna.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
I am a new user of a Samsung Captivate on AT&T, right now I'm not rooted and running the stock software, I generally love the phone, it's much better than my iPhone 3GS and I don't have many issues, except that my upload speed is slow.

I got tired of dropped calls on my iphone and my knowledge of other non-iphone AT&T users seems to indicate that the iphone is the problem with dropped call, the captivate holds on to a call, MUCH better than my old iphone and the download speeds are good, streaming music at High Quality via audiogalaxy is working great.

So I don't think their is anything wrong with my phone.

Testing the phone at work, which is generally has excellent reception for AT&T. I get 1.5 - 2mbps down, which is about what I used to get on my iPhone. But I only get around 150kbps up, my 3GS was even much faster than that in this location usually averaging 250kbps and this phone is supposed an upload speed closer to the iPhone 4 I believe.

Any captivate users on AT&T have a similar issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I'm in a terrible reception area at work - would need to test at home...

Currently 128k Down and 256k up :rolleyes::eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
I'm kind of wondering if it's a problem left over from moving my sim from my iphone3GS to the samsung captivate, I had to call to get them to change a data plan and to reset my voicemail to the standard old school voicemail.

I've been using the phone for a week and I've never gone over 250kbps with this phone, but according to the specs I should be getting much better upload speeds.

In central NJ AT&T is actually pretty good and we have consistent 3G coverage, so I it's not like I'm out in the boonies somewhere and that's why my upload is slow.

Guess I should call AT&T.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarrellRaines:
Your upload speed is normally much lower than your download speed. If you were to do the same test on your broadband at home, you would get maybe if you are lucky 3 mega up for every 30 mega down.

Its how all isps are. The problem is not because of your sim. Also keep in mind that a heavily congested area (new York) will always have bad speeds. The more people with data hogging devices, the slower speeds you will see.

Try doing the bandwidth test again in the middle of.the night or early morning when most people are asleep. You might see some very nice speeds then.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
I got my answer

I didn't realize that AT&T disabled HSUPA, I just knew the hardware supported it. and since I'm on the stock firmware that is what is keeping me at 150 - 250kbps.

Thanks for the help guys, it wasn't a big thing like I said but I wanted to know if the problem was my old sim card.

Hey was wondering if there was a way to connect a mimo usb touch screen monitor to my g2 , it would make and awesome display to use will driving .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scottmog:
everything that ive heard about our micro usb connectors is that there is NO video out

so i think you are out of luck...

I'm looking to do the same thing in my car someday too...
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arcance:
DLNA

NO but DLNA ???
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianmcquinn:
MIMO Monitors are entirely USB-based, so their doesn't need any kind of video out signals on the connector (standard USB connectors do not have video out either). Unfortunately, the USB controller in the G2 does not have USB host capabilities in the current kernel, so this would have to be developed first. Then drivers for the monitor itself would need to be ported over.

While DLNA would work if you are simply trying to stream media over to a larger display in your car, the standard doesn't support displaying the entire phone's screen as is (i.e., you can't send touch responses back to phone, you won't be able to run apps on it, etc.).
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bled82:
No im not looking to use dlna , the mimo monitor is a usb touchscreen monitor . I'm basically looking to make a car dock for my phone and use that as the display and touchscreen .
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bled82:
Do you happen to know if it would take alot of knowledge to add USB OTG support to the kernal ? i know some other phone have been modded to allow usb host , like the droid and the nexus one .

Just wondering what people thought of the extended battery?

And before anyone asks I know about the 60% efficency of batterys but it has got to the stage now where I need two batteries as my desires is so piss poor!

Just wanted to know if this is a good option or if there is other alternatives?
[Desire Accessories] Kalavere:
I'd just get a cheap standard 2nd battery. I was forced to buy one when I was using my HD2, the slim standards are nice for keeping the bulk out of your pockets.

I don't have any problems keeping my Desire going for 36 hours, but then again, nothing is stock on my phone. Rooting and using S-OFF with a new HBOOT table is always an option, works wonders for me.
[Desire Accessories] HTC 123:
Thanks but to me it appears quite cheap ??

Is there any other recommendations

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Desire Accessories] Kalavere:
Aye they are cheap, and I wouldn't expect much from them, some of the claimed 1600mAh batterys are only ~1100mAh for example. I think on average you will get 30% less juice from it as you would a proper OEM battery, some are much much worse, 50% for example and some slightly better than 20%.

Your best bet is just to buy a few of them and see which one is best. They are cheap enough, but with that said if you are going to spend ~£18 on three knock-off ones, you might as well spend another ~£5 and get an OEM. ^_^

I have no experience with 3rd party batterys with the Desire, I use a Veho Pebble if I know I am not going to be near a charge point for a couple of days, it works for loads of USB gadgets.

[Legend General] aekzi_simstim:
Hi

I've been hammering at this problem for weeks now and its really frustrating. I'm hoping someone can help me out here.

I cant get my phone to update to Froyo. I'm dying to see if the update wil fix my missing wifi issue that I picked up with the last update.

Currently I'm at:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband version: 47.26.35.04u_7.05.35.26L

Kernel version: 2.6.v29-e3993620 htc-kernel(at)and18-2 #1

Build number: 2.06.709.3 CL193617 release-keys

Software number 2.06.709.3

The phone is unbranded, bought in China. I'm not sure if it was tampered with.

My phone picks up the OTA update:

OTA_Legend_Froyo_s_hTC_Asia_TW_3.15.709.3-2.06.709.3_release_160364d6o5a2er5k3kbifl

this fails on install, red triangle at about 25%

Tried doing it manually:

renamed above file to update.zip and copied to root of SD card

In HBOOT there is an error something about "legedimg" missing flashes up

Selecting recovery mode gets me a red triangle

pressed (power+vol up)

gets me into system recovery, there is a warning at the bottom "Can't open >cache >recovery>command

selected apply sdcard:update.zip, it works for a little while

get a bunch of stuff about "ro.cid" and and finally "HTC__621". "error in >sdcard >update.zip" (status 7)

Also fails.

Can anyone tell me what's going on here? HTC support has been useless. I'm now really stumped. Do I need a goldcard? :confused:
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Hi! Yes, you need a goldcard because of the different CID you have and the update.

You may look for an update for your CID.

Why not root it while you're at it?
[Legend General] aekzi_simstim:
Thanks! :)

What is a CID? Is this not the correct update for my phone?

Are you suggesting that if I find the correct update I wont need goldcard or root?Where might I look for an update that matches my CID?

Since I'm on a mac, and dont have easy access to a PC rooting and goldcarding is a bit of a pain...
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
CID is Carrier ID, a number that locks your phone to carrier-specific firmware...

And yes, you need an update for your CID, then you don't need GC...
[Legend General] aekzi_simstim:
thanks. so do I have this straight:

1. My phone is locked to take only carrier specific firmware (even though its not actually sim-locked since I can use any sim I want) Sooo... "debranding" wont actually help

2. an update with the correct CID would work - though I dont know which one I need.

3. a goldcard would let me install the latest update via update.zip despite the CID issue

When I spoke to HTC support they said something about my phone originally belonging to Vodafone Germany. It was strange since I definitely have the chinese version loaded. I could try loading the vodafone germany update but then wont my phone become sim-locked again?

Am I getting this right? Thanks you have been a great help!
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
1. SIM lock and CID lock are two different things...

2. Yes, if the HTC said Voda Germandy, they're probably right...I presume you have purchased it from someone who used it before?

3. Of this I'm not sure, but It wil definitely help you root your Phone...

If you don't want to root, you can try to find an RUU upgrade - that's and app that will upgrade your phone from PC - try www.shipped-roms.com. But again, you need one that matches your CID.

edit: If you flash the RUU, rooting will be harder ;)
[Legend General] aekzi_simstim:
Eemm, no. It was "new". They probably did something dodgy to keep the price down. Somehow, despite the CID issue, they were able to install the chinese firmware. It doesn't make much sense.

As far as I can see the latest for Vodafone Germany is "RUU_Legend_Vodafone_AT_GER_Mobilkom_1.31.177.3_Radio_47.26.35.04_7.05.35.26L_release_126862_signed.exe"

I dont think this is actually Froyo?

That might mean that a goldcard is the only option. I take it the goldcard would essentially allow me to bypass the CID check and install whatever update I wanted?

I tried to install the latest vodafone version via update.zip on the SDcard, no luck, "assert failed"... status 7...
[Legend General] aekzi_simstim:
Sorted!

Well, I managed to sort mine out and upgrade to Froyo. And I got my WIFI back too! :D

Very simple...

1. Create Goldcard: Droid Den - Android Guide: How To Create a Gold Card

2. Install RUU (Legend Froyo WWE): Index of /shipped/Legend/

Worked a treat and was actually very simple using the goldcard helper app they recommend on that post. You need access to PC.

I tried updating using update.zip through recovery but that didnt work.

Phone is now working 100%.

I suppose issues might come up when I try to update next time OTA (if there is another OTA for legend), but worse case scenario I will have to use another RUU.
[Legend General] QkSi1ver:
glad it worked out for you... can't imagine going trhough the stress :P

that's why im waiting for the Official OTA
[Legend General] Dr.Romca:
Good it worked :)

@Qksi1ver: why are you waiting for OTA?If you root now, you have a shot at S-OFF, If you update your HBOOT, you wont be able to S-OFF...just sayin...
