[Desire General] pet3rs:
for some time I was using a Samsung 8GB SDHC Class 2 which came with the device.

I have made it a Goldcard, rooted the phone and installed Froyo. then I began to get SD Card Unexpectedly Removed errors after a few minutes of using an app instaled on SD (mostly when I tried to run ColorDict, which keeps dict data on SD). I am not sure, but I think this began to happen when I tried to upgrade to OTA 2.29 and "Red Triangle of Death" (lol) appeared... my Desire was getting unusable as it happened more frequently and required the phone to be powered off and the card to be taken out and insterted again. I tried formatting from Windows level, from phone level, checking for errors, bad sectors etc, but everything failed, so I bought Kingston 16GB SDHC Class 4. and, as you can expect, nothing really improved. well, maybe the errors were a little less frequent.

so I tried to change the ROM, yesterday I have flashed LeeDroid 2.3d No-A2SD, since then the error came twice - first when I tried to wipe sdext in recovery and about five minutes ago, while accessing the card with Root Explorer. I have to stress out that I use the SD intensively through the day as I install apps and test new games. so it seems that the appearence of that error is somehow related to ROM as normally it would happen much more frequently.

did anyone experience similar coincidence?
[Desire General] Meaple:
I have had the SD Card unmount itself randomly before with a custom ROM but it has been a one off. I just rebooted and it was working.

However, your problem is quite extensive. I guess you could just sort of leave it for a whole day not doing anything and see if anything happens. If so, then it could be a number of reasons. Reformat, check for errors (thoroughly), change your ROM to stock and test that out.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
I got my first Android phone last year, and I've loved it. Obviously, hanging out in here, I'm looking at getting the Atrix. OK, I'm committed to it, damnit.

Anyway, question is this: When I pick up the Atrix...how do I get all my crap from my N1 to it? Apps, texts that I want to keep, game data, etc. Is this where we just run something like Titanium (which I *think* requires root) and just restore from that? I'm sure this is really simple and basic...but I've never had to change Android phones before.

Any help is greatly appreciated!

ETA: Are there options that don't require root? Assuming it could take a week or so for the Atrix to be rooted.
[Atrix 4G General] Mike's Aria:
Requiring root. You can titanium backup your messages and game data to your sd card. When you get the atrix, put your sd card in it and restore the data using titanium.

Your apps/contacts/games will download automatically as soon as you log into the phone, assuming you have a google account and have everything set to sync automatically on your current phone.

As for a non-root method, I haven't looked into it.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
You sure the apps and everything will download? The GF lost her Captivate, so I got her a new one, logged in, contacts downloaded...and that was it. Maybe I just haven't checked the setting to back up the apps as well? If not, I probably need to do that on my N1, though I've got that thing backed up ten ways from Sunday lol.

ETA: Appreciate the help, Mike.
[Atrix 4G General] dorsai3d:
App backup, if I recall correctly is enabled by default, but only available on 2.2+ builds. So that would be why the Captivate didn't come back. As for texts, SMS Backup & Restore works perfectly for me, and it doesn't require root.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
Thanks! Appreciate that

[Atrix 4G General] ApplCobbler:
If you use a messaging program like handcent, you can back up your SMS and MMS to be reloaded onto your new phone too. Save all your numbers to your google account too, and also consider moving all your apps and files to your external sd card.
[Atrix 4G General] SoberGuy:
Contacts and SMS aren't too big of a deal. I've got those covered a few different ways. I'm worried more about apps, app data, and various settings. If an app doesn't natively support being on the SD card, then one must run Apps2SD, which is cool. Except it's not, since we have no idea when the Atrix will be rooted. And then there's the issue of apps that AT&T *may* not allow. I'm not sure how those would be installed from the SD card, as per your recommendation, if AT&T elects to block non-market APK installs.

In short, I appreciate the reply and discussion. I could have thought through my initial question much better, as your reply has cause me to rethink a bit. Thanks mate.
[Atrix 4G General] wraithevolution:
Funny, I'm gonna go from an N1 to an Atrix as well. I know as far as contacts go, el goog will have them for me already. But I was wondering if using a csv(?) contact backup would be better? My google contacts aren't all right, my online gmail is missing some contacts that are on my phone. My main concern is getting all the extra stuff in contacts; email address, street address, birthdays, etc... Just wondering which would be better at transferring all that?

[Atrix 4G General] stoli412:
Are you using an Exchange account with Outlook? Android will sync mail, calendar, and contacts with Exchange much more easily that trying to sync directly with Outlook.
[Atrix 4G General] wrayrb:
I am using Outlook without Exchange on my home PC. Still checking different ways to sync phone and android. I have >5000 contacts from several associations I am in, and I am not sure if Gmail can handle those plus the supplemental info (spouses, birthdates, etc.).

Why not move to custom software like Darky's ROM! Make sure you read up before hand though and check that you have 3br (3 button recovery) before you do. The custom roms are all unbrannded.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rajuki:
Or you can cook your own ROM which will debrand your device anyway

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=817703

Mind you, you need CWM + 2e recovery to do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zolah:
Just put recovery 2e on your phone and then flash a custom rom mate.

You will debrand your phone plus have much much better performance out of your phone which you dont get on crappy stock roms.

Make sure you have the 3 button recovery / download working on your device before you try to install anything though, and do so at your own risk...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phederico:
I've been searching up and down and can't find what I'm looking for here, so first and foremost a preemptive apology should this thread exist and I was unsuccessful in finding it.

I had a couple of questions, does a FACTORY WIPE restore your SD card to a out of the box experience?

If I format my SD card, will installing a factory RUU restore the original content/data that was on the SD card, as you'd experience with a new phone? (think this is a no, but asking nonetheless.)

I have a bunch of stuff on my SD card and I can't recall what content was on there originally, and what content gets added with many of our rooted apps and just rooting in general. I remove the SD card when i take my phone in for service, seems the techs are getting kinda serious about seeing root related content on the sd card, but I got to thinking about the best method to return my phone to an OOTB experience. Thanks in advance!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
No, a factory wipe does not wipe SD.....and what i do is just plug SD into comp and copy everything to a separate folder, then mess with it to see what it actually needs and find whats useless......and when it comes to the techs, just do the same but wipe SD card after backing it up.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phederico:
So what happens when those unfortunate individuals have a bad SD card from which they can't recover it's data, they proceed to purchase a new card, and pop it into the handset. How does that stock content/architecture get pushed back onto the new SD card?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] themassofthesun:
Yea, I believe so

Swyped from my EVO running CyanogenMod 6.1 Nightlies
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phederico:
Yeah you believe so what? Hehehe, sorry It's still clear as mud, and shy of just going ahead and formatting my sd card, and taking the ol' hands on approach, I'd much rather be lazy and someone point me to the definitive answer. Anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MBeattie:
Aside from the content which you may have loaded onto the card and want to keep, its ok to format. The operating system will re-install the needed folders onto the card. You could wipe all day long if you choose to and nothing will affect your device. Some folders will re appear instantly while others will appear once you've open the application associated with the folder. Nothing is on the card from the factory anyway. When the EVO was first released the included SD card had HTC Sync installed on it to save you the trouble of downloading it from their site. These cards had issues and needed to be replaced. Other than these early cards, their is no needed software or files on the cards.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phederico:
Alright, now it's clear to me. Thanks you guys, was more of a sanity check for me got a few things I'm thinking of doing and wanted to start with an OOB experience.

I appreciate it!

Wiped SD Card

On a similar note. I partitioned my card and lost all content. I have yet to figure out a NAND backup but I manually copied everything on the mounted card to a folder on my desktop. However, after the partition a lot of my folders on the card remained empty. It seems everything is working properly now that I copied all the files back to it from my desktop. Any advise on the NAND backup? I'm rooted and NAND unlocked running Nuggy's Unlimited Evo RLS1 Evo 2.2, Radio 2.15.00.11.19, v3.70.651.1, PRI1.90_003, PRL 60675. Thanks

battery

how about a 3200mah battery that is the entire back of the phone, maybe 3/16" thick ?

the dual core processors are not needed.

the 30mb/s connectivity is not needed

the 1080p isn't needed

or dual cameras

dust proof, waterproof, and vibration proof. good cellular antenaes, with ports for externals. ruggedized caseswith a good drop rating. standby rating of a week.

unlocked, unbranded, uninhibited

id pay $300_400 for that. might even sell my g2 (for profit)

For the specs of the phones today, people a few years ago would say the same thing, but they are reality now. This would be a phone for the not too distant future. There are Quad Core Mobile CPU's that are being designed and in the R&D stage right now. There are phones that have close to some of the features. The Mini USB exists, but is not right now Dual Directional, YET. There is Gorilla Glass that's coming to market. Bluetooth 3.0, HDMI, QuadBand, Capacitive, Resistive, 8MP Camera, WiMax, LTE, Micro SDHC, NAND Flash, NFC, WiFi, Pico Projector, and more all exist right now. What's to say that these can't and won't ALL be combined in a phone in the near future.

Remember that the NGP (PSP2) will be sporting a quad core chip by years end, so don't be surprised if we get close to the OP specs in a few years time. Mobile technology has really accelerated ever since the Cortex ARM family arrived in '08. The only thing holding the smartphones up is the battery life. We need a new type of battery that can power a smartphone for at least a few of days of HEAVY useage on one charge.

Switchable resistive / capacitive screen? why on earth would you need that in times of finger-optimized apps?

and the most funniest thing is the 16mpx camera (pictures dont become better just because of a higher amount of pixels).

I wouldnt even buy that "phone" if I would have the money :D

mount/format/copy sdext is not a good idea, because the Recovery is not under control of ROM zipfile. ROM can not assume that kernel of recovery support required FS format.

So the best way is mount /sdcard(fat32), copy sd-ext file to /sdcard/, then unzip/copy files at first boot time.

mount("vfat","/dev/block/mmcblk0p1","/sdcard");

ok just flash this file...n check ur sd-ext
