Well, It seems problem was ID10T after all:o. Usually I am really good at paying attention to the details but this time it slipped by me... :rolleyes:

It seems there is absolutely no issue with the Panasonic SD Formatter after all. The issue that followed after the attempted format of the MicroSD card was due to the wrong format setup.:confused:

I am posting proper instruction on how to format and avoid the NOOB situation I got myself into. This will also work for people that flashed WP7 and decided to go back to Nand, but tought SD card is ruined due to the WP7 protection mechanism.

Note: This will only work if your SD Card is atleast visible to your PC.

KEEP PHONE PLUGGED INTO YOUR PC THROUGHOUT THIS WHOLE PROCESS.

1. Reboot Phone and HOLD VOLUME DOWN KEY to enter BootLoader Screen (multicolor screen)

2. Download and flash MAGLDR 1.13. Reboot Phone

3. When phone is rebooting HOLD POWER BUTTON to enter MAGLDR Screen.

4. Go to OPTION 4. USB MassStg in MAGLDR.

5. Now Download SD Formatter 3.0 and install it.

*If your PC is not recognizing your SD Card go back to MAGLDR Main Menu by pressing the Power Button once and go to OPTION 10. RESET with phone still plugged in, and hold Power Button down while rebooting to get back to MAGLDR screen and select option 4. USB MassStg again. It should recognize it.

6. Open SD Formatter 3 and make sure your SD Card is being shown in the Drive Dropdown Box.

7. You can enter whatever Volume Label you like. Then click the OPTION BOX.

8. Select Format Type - Full Erase, and select Format Size Adjustment - On.

9. Then click Format and your SD Card should be reformatted and ready for use again.

It worked for me and I hope it works for others :D

*I didn't write these directions and as such I don't take credit for it. Directions were zipped with SDFormater3.0 (user didn't sign it). Thanks, however you are!

[Droid 2 General] emerica243:
Recently got a Droid 2 R2D2, rooted, Apex1.4 flashed. Heres my question, compared to my droid X the battery is so bad. Ill start off with a full charge at 6am, and come 7pm ill be at 20%. Compared to my droid X with like 50%

GPS, BT, Wifi = off

3G = on, brightness = 20%

Maybe 30 mins of call usage a day. And 100 total texts or so.

Not sure why this phone is acting so bad.

BUT, when i originally got it and rooted it. I started off by Flashing the 2.3.20 SBF, then factory resetting before flashing the APEX Rom.

While flashing with RSDLite 4.7 it nevr said the flash succeeded. It actually said failed, but the phone rebooted automatically and loaded the Stock SBF Rom successfully so i thought it was alright. Could that somehow be affecting the performance?
[Droid 2 General] orkillakilla:
Not sure, but try flashing the sbf with RSDlite 4.8 instead. Seems to work better with d2's.
[Droid 2 General] problematic:
I've actually got the opposite problem. I'm on fission and my dad's DX is stock blur which I think explains my situation. The DX has more battery capacity, so if everything else is equal it really does sound like a problem.
[Epic 4G General] endurance1:
First of all, id just like to say, i love my epic, however.... i had it for almost a month and today i tried the video camera which is supposed to be good... right? Well unless im doing something wrong, it looks like crap. If anyone is moving fast it has a HUGE trail behind them. Is there something i can do to fix this issue? i have everything on max settings.
[Epic 4G General] Overstew:
I haven't tweaked any settings and it's perfectly fine. Try deleting the Data under Settings > Applications > Manage Applications > Camera > 'Clear Data'.

See if it works better that way. My playback is incredibly high quality and I don't touch any settings.
[Epic 4G General] themirthfulswami:
Strange I've taken quite a few vids with my Epic and never had that issue. In fact they generally turn out quite well.
[Epic 4G General] endurance1:
do this: wave your hand infront of it and see if you can see the tracers.... thats waht im talking about... so for instance, if i record someone breakdancing or something else that they are moving fast, its ALL tracers and looks terrible. P.S. that didnt work :(
[Epic 4G General] kryptoniteman:
If u updated your phone yesterday to froyo that is what's causing it
[Epic 4G General] endurance1:
for real? wtf... yeah im running the eb13 ext4 with the OC kernal... so how would i go about fixing this? downgrading back to dk18?
[Epic 4G General] kryptoniteman:
Yeap people are downgrading back to DK18 but I like froyo too much so I will wait for the fix
[Epic 4G General] Probaholic1:
Yup, I would say screw that, and just downgrade back to Froyo dk28, it's what I have and until I see some decent roms with EB13 I will probably stick with DK28 until, I was OC'd with Genocide too, but that causing my phone to freeze sporatically,.

So I say stick with a dk rom.
[Epic 4G General] cohiba_man:
There is absolutely no reason to"upgrade" to eb13 until there are some good custom roms. I'm running viper trinity with genocide kernel and my phone flies with no issues whatsoever. Why would I want to"upgrade" to a stock rom with evidently lots of bugs?

I say hold off, let these great devs work their magic, and then flash a true "upgrade."
[Epic 4G General] photoframd:
Which camera App?

I have found the camera on the Epic to be very inconsistent. Sometimes the photos look great, rivaling a good point-n-shoot. But, other times, it's just not sharp. It doesn't help that the lens sticks out and seems to get dirty just from holding the camera.

Has anyone found a better camera app?
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I was able to record a basketball game...and even zoomed in all the way and out while recrding while they were running and there was absolutely NO blur. It was buttery smooth.

Infact, whenever someone watches a video on my phone, they ALL say "...wow....your phone takes really clear vids!"

Unfortunately tho, I don't see that being the case anymore if I take a video in lowlight :(
[Epic 4G General] ZenInsight:
It's not junk. It's the EB13 ROM causing problems. I'm still on DK28 and my cam is perfect....although a little grainy in low light.
[Epic 4G General] waitforit...:
The irony is that Samsung makes cameras, so one would think this is an area where they'd have an edge over HTC...

It's the speed of the micro SD. Get a class 6 and it wont happen anymore.
[Epic 4G General] vitreoush:
Lag on preview

Are you looking at the resultant videos, or the screen when you're taking the movies? Because during video the screen is definitely laggy. As for the motion artifacting, well, you're not going to be able to catch even moderately high speed activities with a sensor the size of the Epic's in low light. That's because it looks like the Epic doesn't adjust the ISO when it gets dark, it just increases exposure time for each frame. This keeps the images from being terribly grainy, but also makes everything look like slomo watercolors when it gets dark enough. If you want good motion capture in low light situations, you're going to have to get something with a larger sensor. Actually, I'm surprised how nice the epic's movies look. I'm the first one to criticize samsung, but they did pretty well with the limited sensor size.
[Epic 4G General] cheema:
Samsung Epic has one of the best phone cameras around. Most of the side by side comparison of both photos and videos I have seen produce by HTC Evo and Samsung Epic, make Evo look like a child's toy.

If you are having camera issues, they are most likely due to software. You might want to downgrade as others have suggested.
[Epic 4G General] hayabusa1300cc:
The Epic has the best video I have seen for a cell phone. doesnt even seem like video from it.

Quite amazing in low light I would say as well as in any light (before eb13)

Although I went out today and purchased me a new Canon EOS 550D for my HD video fix

it still would be nice to have what we once did
[Epic 4G General] tmspyder:
The camera/video was one of the MAJOR selling points of this phone to me.

It's heart breaking to see it limping so badly...
[Epic 4G General] csundara:
Yeah, same for me. I would never have bought a phone with a video camera as bad as this one is right now. Hopefully, someone here can figure it out. Like most, I have little faith left in Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
It's really odd, too, how the Samsung Moment had the same issues they're having with this phone.

Video camera worked great before going from 1.5 to 2.1. The 2.1 update killed the video camera until devs released a fix for it.

That's all I'm waiting for now. It's obvious that Samsung/Sprint have no idea how to support this phone so it's up to the developers to fix things for us.
[Epic 4G General] abduljaffar:
yup, epic that's incredible videos! Evo records ok but it stutters. Hate it. Hopefully we get a patch soon, I loved how great the camera worked.
[Epic 4G General] bryanfritz1:
The camera is nec, not samsung, but is good with dk28 like others said. I bet samsung is having a hard time with nec, expecially after they put the firmware upgrade option in. Nec prolly wants to do all the camera software and samsung prolly wants to have some control, so I bet software wise they are just butting heads?

[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
Guys I need help, I for the life of me cant get that thing to work. Its installed in my programs files (x86), that is where it was put when I hit install.

I got into command and get to the C:\Program File (X86)\Android\android-sdk>tools

I get tools is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file.

I type in adb devices and I get the same error.

Any ideas or can anyone help me. I never need to do the androidsdk for the captivate, but it looks like I need it for the inspire.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
tools is another directory

so add /tools to your command

adb should work from there
[HTC Inspire 4G] Noz85:
You need to unzip it to your c drive and then open up cmd and type something along the lines of

cd c:/sdk /tools

The file names have to match it you will get that error

[HTC Inspire 4G] klquicksall:
Change name to androidsdk. Then run as administration for windows. Type cd c:\androidsdk/tools

Inspire 4G / Desire HD

Depending on the country
[HTC Inspire 4G] milleirish:
it is unzipped, and installed. I will try those commands thats
[HTC Inspire 4G] homeslice976:
Yea - so you'd wanna run a command prompt as admin, then type:

cd c:\program file (x86)\android\android-sdk\tools

hit enter

This will put you in the tools directory. NOTE: If you've installed the newest version of SDK, adb is no longer in tools, it's in platform-tools, so you'd want to navigate to:

cd c:\program file (x86)\android\android-sdk\platform-tools

hit enter

adb devices

hit enter
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I have been flashing roms like crazy since they hit and I love to tinker, but I'm about to leave on vacation and need my call quality to be clear, I'd like to be able to use wireless hot spot and I wanted to have the fastest speeds possible.

It took a little while and I won't step you through the entire process, but here's what I did and where I found the info.

I'm assuming you've already got root so I'll skip that.

1) flash attn1's stock rooted rom found here

This ROM already has side loading enabled so you can install non market apps.

2) enable wireless tether. I'm shocked that it works, but it seems to work. Thread is here.

3) Turn on HSUPA. This one is a bit more complicated so I'll explain it.

you will need a file manager on the phone that will let you access the file system. There are several on the market, but Root Explorer is easiest to use.

In root explorer navigate to /system set the file system to r/w. Find the build.prop file. This is the file we want to edit. make a backup first, so long press the build.prop file and rename it to build.prop.bak. Now long press on build.prop again and choose open in a text editor. Root explorer has one built in. The 4th line down should say ro.ril.hsxpa=x. Change that value to 3 press menu choose save changes. Go into settings/applications and turn off fast boot. Reboot and you will have high speed data, sideloading, and tethering all enabled with stock Inspire sound.

Figuring all this out took about an hour of searching/reading and tinkering but it was worth it. Hope someone finds this helpful.

EDITED TO ADD:

Thanks to the guys who figured this all out for me. All I had to do was a little research. They did the heavy lifting.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I am a total noob when it comes to flashing ROMS etc.. What has to be done first in order to apply these to my phone? My phone is bone stock and nothing has been done to it. Is there a guide on how to get to the point where you say "I'm assuming you've already got root so I'll skip that". Thanks for any help.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
start here
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Thanks. So, all I need to do is create a gold card in order to root, then follow your how to? Can I use part 1 of r34p3rex's video tutorial till the end then follow your guide?
[HTC Inspire 4G] BB2DX:
Thanks

Gunny- Thanks for your posts. You're really active in this forum, but keep things easy to understand. I am a moderately knowledgable user (the most dangerous kind) and I appreciate your posts tremendously. I'm not about to leave AHD as I love to be able to theme things! Once we get attn1's rooted stock deodexed, I'll be all over that again.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Get rooted then come back to this. and Please spend about a day reading the stickies before you root your phone.

I changed the value to 3 but still have slow upload speeds. Any ideas?

Nice!

Wow, you are awesome. I did change the value to 3 and saw no change after reboot but I did disable fast boot and both upload and download speeds are A LOT faster. Used to get 1000kbps down and 158kbps up and now thanks to Gunny and you, harlenm, my speeds are 1900kbps down with 1467kbps up. WOOHOO! THANKS GUYS!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Glad y'all are finding this helps. I edited the Op to add the step for disabling fastboot. Thanks for that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] TXRangerXDA:
Hey gunnyman, nice to see you over here in the Inspire forums. I am familiar with you from the Captivate side. I just got my Inspire on Tuesday, am rooted and running Attn1's Inspire DHD ROM with the stock radio. Do you notice a marked improvement in the Audio between the two ROMS with the stock Radio? I will probably give this a flash sometime this morning to try it out. Stock seems nice enough for me right now.

Thanks
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Yeah that really made my day! I had terrible speeds prior to this with the inspire, but now it feels like a new phone again. I had the iphone 4 before with higher data speeds. With the the inspire 4G i was getting terrible speeds. I was on the phone complaining to them about the data speeds and they kept telling me that the area I am in is congested and theres nothing they can do. Well... a little tinkering with the settings, and problem solved!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
The only sound I have found acceptable is the Stock Rooted. The radio makes no difference. there's something going on with the stock kernel and drivers. With source dropping a couple of days ago I'm sure it will get sorted out before long.

There seem to be a lot of us Captivate defectors on Inspires now :up:
[HTC Inspire 4G] TXRangerXDA:
Yeah, it is pretty tinny, I have to say. I'm sure it'll get straightened out. I jumped for the GPS. Even though I don't use it all that much, especially while moving, and the devs over there had it fixed pretty good for standing still, it just bothered me way too much. Going to flash this in a bit.

Edit to ask: It seems as tho flashing a ROM over another (at least Sense to Sense) all I have to do is clear cache and flash? It even seemed to maintain my settigns/apps/app data when I went from Revolution to Inspire DHD yesterday. Is it really that easy? No flashing to stock and master clear first?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
correct. Since there's no "lag fix" silliness to deal with and HTC actually uses a "standard" file system in its phones, all you need to do is wipe data and clear dalvik cache.

You don't have to wipe data, but I do it anyway.
[HTC Inspire 4G] harlenm:
Except my speeds are back to crap after reinstalling the rom. Arghh
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Just redo the build prop.

Hey Gunnyman, can you please help me?

I went to use google maps navigation and the little GPS icon in the notification bar never shows up. I installed the GPS Test app and says GPS is on but no satellites show up. Google navigation app keeps saying Searching for GPS... What can cause this? Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] mi04se1:
Do you keep fastboot disabled all the time?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
mi04se1 are you are referring to me? yes its disabled all the time. Otherwise data speeds are crap.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I agree with the sound issue.... regarding data speed, I changed to value 3 and now the HSUPA seems to be functioning. I'm getting what feels like a slower download, but obviously HSUPA up since I'm getting 1-1.5 mb up. I'm guessing the download is because of network conditions today.

Thanks for the tip and getting me my HSUPA back :-)

Looks like it gets disabled on hard reboots. Any way to protect against this, or just edit each time?

Thanks!
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
I don't know, is GPS on? look under settings/location
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Yes, its on in the settings. Would fastboot affect GPS at all?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
I too had this issue... I downloaded "GPS Status" ... first fix took 76 seconds, and acquired 8 satellites. Didn't work indoors, so I went outdoors, that was the difference. Some consumer GPS like Garmin is sensative enough to work indoors, not HTC apparently.

Anyhow, after that initial fix now it only takes a couple seconds to get fix, but all the GPS apps work just great.

Try that and see.

EDIT: I am on fast boot disabled to use HSUPA and not having issues.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I installed GPS Test app and I am outside with a clear view of the sky. It shows 0 In View and 0 In Use. Before rooting and performing all these steps, it worked perfectly. I have no idea on what to do in order to fix this.

[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
try putting your old build.prop back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Ok will try that.
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
I put back the build.prop and rebooted but no difference. GPS icon doesn't even show in the notification bar.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Nothing in the build prop should affect this.

Do you have data? Maybe something is awry in you apn?
[HTC Inspire 4G] kirk123:
Should I bring it back to stock so I can start over again? What is the easiest way to bring it back to stock?
[HTC Inspire 4G] bella92108:
So it doesn't even show the flashing GPS icon?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
just flash the rooted stock rom again. Unless you want to go complety back to out of the box condition by running the RUU found at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=952224&highlight=RUU

Yes data works and is faster than ever after enabling HSUPA. The APNs are the ones that came with the stock rom from attn1s They both have a lock symbol next to them. I don't think it has to do with data, its probably a driver issue or something.

It's odd as hell for sure. Nothing about this procedure should involve gps.
