how do i view my EXT3 partition?

how do i return it to FAT32?

i wish o format the lot and start again
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Rolanderen:
First off, great guide! Worked like a charm! I formatted my 4GB without problems and it works great on Rafdroid.

I have another question. In my enthousiasm I used the 4Gb SD-card that was in my new HD2. However I would instead like to use the 8Gb SD-card that was in my Motorola Milestone. Is there any way to copy the EXT3 partition from my current 4Gb SD-card to my 8Gb Sd-card without loss of data? I would prefer not having to reinstall all my apps :P

EDIT: I tried doing it with the program in the opening post by formatting the 8Gb to FAT32, the resizing the partition to around 7 and then copy the EXT3 from the 4Gb over. Loading of the phone/widgets on Sense is a little slower but it seems to have worked ;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poingdk:
You have to delete the ext3 partition again. Resize the fat32 partition back to full size and the format it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] poingdk:
I guess another way to get around it would be to make a backup in CWM. Copy the files from the small card to the big one and make a recovery.

Just spent 2.5 hours trying to fix my SD card after using your program to try and partition my SD card after your software buggered it. I have Just now threw it in the bin. Try and be a bit more descriptive the next time you give advice. Your program sucks and I now have to go out and buy a new sd card due to your software buggering up a perfectly good working sd card. Not impressed.

Hope my post prevent another user wasting time and money as a result of using your program.

You can simply use cwm recovery to make a ext 3 partition...simple and fast...but for native sd, you need ext4 partition
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] skyhi0:
But what if you cannot format the sd card?

I also have 32 gig kingston mni SD. Using my card reader, I tried to format it mainly because it says I have to format it first so that I can be able to use the sd card. While trying to format, it says "windows unsuccessfully format the device". I tried lots of trouble shooting steps but it didn't work.

I cannot make any partitions because of this. Help please.

Old thread, but it's the first one that comes up when i search for Ext3 and sd. I'll try my luck here first.

In KitKat / Android 4.4, the external micro sd card is locked down for all non-system apps. This is, of course, very annoying when you have a whole file system of word and excel files on it, like me.

My question: would formatting my sd card to ext2 or ext3 fix the permissions?

[Intercept General] aamir515:
Hello everyone,

I have a vm intercept that i use as my primary mp3 player and for car audio through aux input. Lately the music has started freezing/skipping atleast 5 times per song. Even tho the music freezes for fraction of a second, it is still annoying the heck out of me.

I asked dr. google for help and apparently many other people on some other phones also have the same issue. Can anybody suggest what to do to get rid of this issue please? Thanks
[Intercept General] mikuro:
I have the same problem while riding the subway. I finally realized that it happens every time I gain or lose a signal. This happens frequently when riding the subway. The only fix I know of is to turn on airplane mode. Obviously not a good solution if you need to have your phone working while listening, but it works for me in the subways since I can't realistically use my phone anyway (I just get flickers of signal).
[Intercept General] maaneeack:
I just got my Virgin Mobile Intercept last weekend. Used it yesterday w/ the audible.com app and the aux port in my car, no problems. Plugged the phone into the wall last night (in a power strip) and had the stutter issue today.

Only thing I've done to the phone is inxane's recovery (Android ver: 2.1-update 1). Tried 4 microsd cards (2 8gb sdhc, the 2gb sd that came with it and another 2gb I had), mp3 & tunein radio have the same problem. Calls are fine though.

Tried uninstalling audible and deleting folder from sd card, rebooted phone twice. Yesterday evening I did notice that the Notifications bar wouldn't pull down, but after the first restart this morning everything but playback was fine. Second restart I left the phone off for 10 minutes.

The lady I was talking with at audible heard what it was doing and was on the line while I tried mp3 & tunein, her suggestion, which is what I'm probably going to have to do, was to return the phone and get it exchanged.

EDIT:

Just did the factory reset in inxane recovery, tried the mp3 from my sdcard, same issue.
[Intercept General] maaneeack:
Try flashing a new kernel. I had inxane's from one of the rooting tutorials. From irc I found that the newest version of his recovery is much better, and that vampirefo's kernel w/ /system as ext2 and /data /cache as ext4 is really nice.

I did those things and my playback is fixed.
[Nook Color General] RChadwick:
My rooted nook screen keeps turning off while charging, and I can't find the setting to disable it. I have it configured so wi-fi turns on and off with the screen, and sometimes I'd like wifi on in the background to download or do other things. The only way I can do that now is to remember to keep touching the screen every few minutes.

Any help?

There's an app called 'Setting Profiles' which works well for this situation. The free version allows just one rule which should be fine if this is all you need it for.
[Nook Color General] RChadwick:
Thanks for the response guys. I actually do use Setting profiles, which is what I use to turn the wifi on and off with the screen. I just haven't figured out how to configure it to keep the screen on.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Streakr:
I have a Rogers Streak with 1.6. Unlocked.

Build 7921.

Rooted with One Click.

ADB drivers installed as well on my pc.

I have the 309 Recovery image downloaded to my pc unzipped.

I also have the 318 update package downloaded to my pc.

I have never done this before and I am trying to go very slowly and read as much as I can. Should I be using this method to update or should I use the QDL method? Is there a fastboot in the 309 recovery package or do I need to download that seperately? Also am I missing anything else before I start? I know that the 318 package is the official 2.2 version but if I could I would rather have the dj steve rom as I have heard that this is a better version to have.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
anyone? please lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.C.P:
what you should do is drain it all the way untill you cant turn it on anymore and leave it chargin all night turned off, and when you wake up turn it on and let it charge untill its full again, then boot into recovery and wipe batt statt , and you should be good to go :D mine last about 20 hours after i did that :eek::cool:
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjggilbert:

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T.C.P:
me to :p im near a power source or computer all the time so :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
What you should do is keep letting it drain until 1% or so. I don't think you need to let it die completely. Charge to 100%. Boot into recovery and clear battery stats with the charger still plugged in. This is the important part. Then drain the battery and charge to full. Then you should be good to go.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
question, after draining to about 1%, does the phone have to be off? and can i use the phone just a bit while its charging?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sam-san:
The general consensus is that when you condition you should charge the phone while it's off. I don't know enough about battery chemistry to tell you why. Just do it to be safe :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gagb1967:
Battery "recondition", actually does not "recondition" the battery, it is a trick just to get more accuarte readings (that's the only reason you reset STATS)

The battery may not charge up to 100% and will never do, just following this procedure. It will just say it is @ 100% when you actually are @ 85 or 87, that's why the sudden "jump" you see.

Best way to try to get better readings is charging the battery till it says 100%, unplug it and plug it again a couple of times until it fully charges and follow the same procedure.

Once yo did this a few times, turn off phone, reboot in CWM (with the phone never unpluged) and clear battery stats. turn off phone and unplug,,,,

You will got at least more accurate readings
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kolomari:
Android Police did a piece on plugging and unplugging your phone to get up to 100% (it's called bump charging, see below). They recommended that you NOT do it because it doesn't get you much additional juice and you wear your battery out faster. Normally I just charge my battery up to 100% (no drain), wipe the battery stats, unplug and go until it dies. I use it while it's plugged in and still get a full day easily out of my phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
I hate to be the bearer of bad news. You can not condition a Lithium-Ion battery. All you are doing is wearing it out prematurely by deep cycling. Every time you do this you destroy your over all battery life a little.

I have posted about this here in several thread, and I am getting a little tired of having to tell people NOT to do this because they don't search for themselves. Do a search on the forums for deep cycle li-ion and see for yourself.

If you want to know the technical reasons why, Google is your friend.

http://www.ehow.com/how_6803484_do-lithium-battery-cell-phone_.html

anyways, i've heard it all, and even i used to agree with people like you, and it probably DOES wear out my battery, but the first time i did it, i got 6 hours more in battery, does that mean that my batterys dying because its giving me more life?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Yea, just chill. It is all in your head. From ROM to ROM, usage pattern to usage pattern, and app version to app version - there are just too many variables to worry about. Just use your phone, charge it when it needs it, and relax.

Your phone's battery is going to get less life as it ages. There is nothing you can do about that. Also, it will likely only get 2-3 years before it needs replacement. If it gets less than 2 years it is because you have been "conditioning" it. which ages it prematurely and also causes how long it lasts between charges to shorten as well.

Li-ion does not have a memory, so conditioning is an inherently false concept. Recalibrating the devices ability to read the battery is a different story, but it should only be done if it really needs it (like it thinks it is at 1% when it is at 20%), and it should never be done more frequently than a minimum of 30 charge cycles or if you charge it once a day when you go to bed no more than once a month. Less frequent is better.

So sorry, you need to find something else to obsess about. Might I suggest getting Team Whiskey to make BlackFroyo the default theme, use the 5 bar signal meter, the larger numbers on the battery, and the hacked camera the used the power button to take pictures. That would save all of us some time.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T313C0mun1s7:
Nice link - try reading the stuff by the engineers that work with batteries for a living now instead. You do know eHow is just a site where any idiot that thinks they know something can post, right? Are you going to reference wikipedia next?

BTW when you recalibrated your battery and got 6 more hours, did you do anything else that might have explained it? You know like flash a new effing ROM? That might possible change a few things to do with your power usage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:
it was a joke :P

and no, i flashed Nero 4.1, and then used it for a week thinking the phone would adjust to the battery and new rom, it didn't.

then i thought i'd just take a chance and recondition my battery, it was my first time, and it worked out great.

and trust me i'm a heavy user.

roughly 300-400 texts per day.

20-40 phone calls

music about 5 hours per day

and i play soem games, but thats understandable because playing dungeon defenders uses like 30% battery per hour bcz of the high graphics and such.

a bunch of app downloading.

I've already had to reformat three times (in only two days!). I lost everything. Wasted many hours downloaded lots of apps, rebooting, calling Tech Support ...

[G Tablet General] rushless:
No offense, but the OP is pure conjecture, considering that device has not released yet. How can the G lose steam to a device not even out or (until now) made notice of?

That same premise could be used for several other devices coming out, as you could for any device "losing steam". I would say sucky out of box experience lost the steam for the G for most but modders.

Not to mention this device still has to actually ship in a few weeks and at $450. Not to mention mod support. G is already locked in for that.

I will take my $350 G with 13gb of extra space and proven mod community ANY day over that. Unless Webtop is being used, 1gb is is yet to prove a big difference maker for speed. Webtop needs 1gb ram just to not choke the system down. Seriously.
[G Tablet General] sjmoreno:
I am in total agreement with rushless. Our gTabs are a piece of electronics. And like all electronics there is a never-ending march of newer and "better" models on the horizon. Personally, at this moment in time, I can't think of a better tablet for me.

Thanks to the efforts of the gtab-devs here I have been thoroughly enjoying this tablet for the last month. This tablet was the perfect mix of price, performance, and the right amount of support from the xda community.
