I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1010807
All thanks to Brainmaster for whipping this up..
I will post the results I've had to save you a few steps...
I did his test mothod using root explorer and sd Tools and tested each one of his recommended settings..
(I have the stock SDcard that came in my showcase, i'm assuming it's probably the same in the Mesmerize?) It's a Samsung microSDHC class2 16GB..
I'm running the EB11pnp3 with voodoo lagfix enabled. The OP says you need to test these to see which one works for you. But I thought that if we have the same phone/same sdcard then it MAY be the same results...
so here's my Results:
128 3.7 MB/s "WRITE" 14.1 MB/s "READ" **This is what the phone is set to at default
1024 3.2/14.6
2048 5.1/14.4
3072 5.3/15.0
4096 6.7/15.0 <<<this is as far as he has listed and it gives the best results, Doubling the "Write" time and improving the "READ" time by a LITTLE!!!
I haven't tried flashing yet, still reading through the pages, but came across this POST.. Which may be the way we would have to make it stick past rebooting...
Maybe some of the SCH-I500's dev can take a look at this and improve it even more for us..
After Testing for hours, i could never get a reliable score with SD tools from the market.. I'm thinking this is just one more ****ty issue with the Galaxy S phones!!! Thanks Samsung, I'll never buy any more of your **** products..

not sure why there would be, you're just adding cache to the sdcard... and like the OP states, if you do this through rootexplorer it reverts back to factory after rebooting..
You have to do one of his methods to make it permanent...
There's also an app in the Market called SD Speed Boost which does the same thing. It doesn't require you to use Root Explorer to change the value and it has a Set at Boot option so no flashing from recovery is required either.
I bet you could use Tasker to automate this at boot time as well. Nice find, Elijah. I had seen the app, but I would rather do it this way.

If you flash one of the zips from the original post it is automated or if you use the app I mentioned it is automated, not really sure why you'd need another method to accomplish automation but to each their own. The zips just copy a shell script to init that set the value at each boot and the app just sets it when it runs at each boot. Of course the init route would occur prior to the app, but don't see much difference regardless of the chosen solution.
EDIT: Also YMMV with whatever option you choose to apply this mod. 1meg,2meg,3meg,4meg all yielded similar results for me, but I'm not using the Class 2 16gig that comes with the phone. I would imagine slower cards would see more of a benefit.
The reason I would rather use Tasker is to limit the number of things besides the ROM that I'm flashing to the phone (just to keep things as clean as possible). Plus, with Tasker doing it at boot, any future ROMs I install won't need any tweaking. I'll just have to import my profiles, which I'll be doing anyway.
ok flashing in CWM didn't work... It didn't hold the value change after rebooting..
And speaking of the app that does this... The Galaxy S isn't listed as compatible

this post is interesting.. but the thing is that our phones don't have the /system/etc/init.d

Just verified that the app does change the value to whatever I select. Could be that the author just hasn't tested on Galaxy S and therefore didn't risk saying that it was compatible. I mean were just talking file manipulation here, nothing more.
SN: I am not that author of the software nor do I know the author of the software. I'm just trying to help and I happened to know about the app cause I downloaded it a while ago. I know no one said anything, but as I read back over my post I did sound like a spokesperson for the app, lol.

and i'm glad to hear the app works, but this seems like it shouldn't be that hard to figure it out... I have a feeling some GREAT minds are reading this
edit*
I've read through the entire 27 pages of the OP and haven't figured it out, think i've seen a couple people saying writing a script will do the job, but the probelm is it says to push the scripts to a folder that's not on our phone i think that may be the hardest part......
well, got 4096 to stick after rebooting, now to see if i still have the speeds.... If it works i'll update the first post....

So what's the fastest Write/READ scores you've gotten with the app? And you have a showcase right?
Also let me know what sdcard you've got..
I'm just trying to see what speeds i should be trying to achieve..
Bringing the triple post back there Eli?
I too tried the OP flash via CWM earlier... speeds seem to vary through my tests with SD Tools.

I'm getting around 8mb write/ 20mb read on a transcend class 6 8gb card. I technically have a fascinate that ive mesmerized. I also went back and made the manual changes without using the app and they almost mirrored when using the app, minus normal variances of course.

well, if that's all it gives with you a class 6 card, then there's definitely no point with a class 2...
It looks like yet another shortcoming of The Galaxy S phones. All the HTC report SIGNIFICANT Gains, yet our phone barely budges..
I hate this phone more and more everyday
Some apps that I've pushed to my external SD card suddenly show up as not installed and I then have to reinstall from the market. Any ideas what's wrong?
Sent from my MB865 using xda premium
Right now the phone is having problems when you store any apps on the SD card. Make sure they are all stored internally and that should solve your problems.
you have 4gb of app storage, there's no need for apps2sd especially since it breaks the apps, sd card and everything else.
But for me such as with evernote the data is stored on the SD card and the app fails when the SD card unmount itself and I have to resync it.

Yes, theres a bug in the software causing this to happen when apps are installed on the sdcard. Just make sure all ur apps are in internal storage and you should be fine, or is 4gb not enough?

never use the atrix 2 to format your card, do it with a card reader in windows
I'm on my 2nd Atrix 2. The first one had trouble with the sdcard as most of the people are writing about on XDA so I got a replacement. The 2nd one works perfectly with the same sdcard installed. In addition to fixing the sdcard issues, wireless works more reliably and call quality is better indicating they may have had some hardware quality control issues vs. software issues. If you're within your 30 days return period I would suggest getting a replacement.
Returned for a skyrocket

I've been monitoring this and moved many of my non essential apps to my SD card for testing purposes. Then I set my phone so any updates to apps has to be approved, none of my apps nor is the phone auto update.
Worked fine for two weeks until I finally updated three apps. Then I lost 7 apps on the SD card

I'm trying to be patient for that update. But, it's a tough bone to swallow spending $65 for an SD card just to store MP3s on. It would be nice to have some sort of rough ETA from Moto on the update (i.e., before my 30 days is up). I'd try a Samsung Infuse, but that would be taking a step backward in video and processor.

Nope. I'm guessing that when Moto pushes out the update ATT will have to put their blessing on it and we all know how quick that will happen.

yup just spoke to a att rep and they have no idea when there will be a update. was gonna exchange my phone but today was my 30 days. im using the stock microSD card and apps are still disappearing but i just dont lose my contacts. im at a loss as to what to do now. i suppose my only option is to wait and see what the devs cook up or that dreaded att update.

Try a warranty exchange. I promise the issues you have seen tylercarter, is not exactly what everyone else has, especially with google contacts disapperaing. If you bought it at ATT they are decent if you go into a store. If you bought it at best buy forget it, even 1 day past 30 day they will tell you too bad so sad. ATT took care of me three times even at 40 days, they let me switch to a different phone each time. That was back in march so.... give it a try.
I hate to say it, but fixes for this issues with the SDcard most likely will never come. Now if we can get the source code for this phone, then WE can fix the issue much like cyanogen did those type of things for many phones. I will definitely do the fix for it once we get that.

Hey everyone. I have a couple questions. This guy is selling me a g2x for 130 but says the simcard wont read at all anymore...idk if its software or hardware related but I think its a good price and maybe an easy or cheap fix, right? Also i remember hearing a lot of software issues on this phone but Im assuming root has solved them all by now right? i appreciate your input guys thanks!
UPDATE:
Thanks everyone I bought it. It looks like its almost brand new. only a faint scratch on the screen otherwise it looks flawless inside and out , no water damage, no abuse. It looks like its well taken care of. I verified the IMEI is NOT blacklisted, the phone reads the SIM and shows T-Mobile in the APN, however the notification bar has an Invalid SIM message rather than displaying T-Mobile. I have searched XDA and determined it has what is called "Baseband Corruption", I am unsure on how to fix this as I have read that flashing roms doesnt solve this issue as the RIL is not flashed with custom roms. Anyone have any suggestions? Does LG use anything similar to ODIN (a program used by Samsung phones to reflash every partition)? I think if LG has some kind of software to reflash every partition maybe this will fix the baseband corruption and make the phone usable?
If it's not reading any sim cards I bet it's water damaged and would stay away.

Wouldnt that be evident though if i checked the water indicator?
Even if it's reading the Sim card, stay away froma g2x period! It had the potentials of being a great phone, but the bugs will eventually become frustrating to deal with, i.e. the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality, and so on......and don't dare even entertain the thought of going back to Froyo, unless you love going through random restarts and boot loops which leads to a hard resets.
I'm just sayin!

Another reason it may not read the Sim, is that it has been blocked for some reason.
not all of them have the bugs, would I recommend this phone over the SGS II probably not, would I recommend it over the Sensation or Amaze 4G probably... This guy seems to have something against the G2X lol.
"the browser bug, camera zooming bug, no lg camera app which takes full advantage of the camera functionality" I have no clue what the Browser bug is, camera zooming bug never heard it, No LG camera app whoopty dooo! The Aosp camera and apps from the play store are fine, just install the ICS camera app from the play store is great. I think the phone is great!
Now when it comes to the SIM card slot no recommendations besides what has already been stated..

the bugs doesn't appear to be hardware, it's software. Originally the g2x came with froyo. After many complaints about the random restarting and GB release date. Lg rushed an update which was supposed to have fixed the restarting issue in gb. Only to give us a half baked ROM, missing the camera app which decreased the quality of the camera, whereas at one point the camera was one of their marketing ploys to sell the phone. You can try installing other roms, but there will be a give and take issue.

Ive never been one to use any android phone stock, so rooting will help me there. Im just worried about the phone's IMEI being blocked and maybe impossible to unblock? Its a good price for $130 if theres no water damage and I wouldnt mind paying a little extra to fix the SIM issue. Im still debating whether to pick it up or not. I told him Id meet him in three hours so I am weighing my options

He said he tried it out with his and his cousins sim card. So I dont know if mine would work either. My fear is that maybe its imei is blacklisted on t-mobile and thats why it wont work.
Even if it is blacklisted, wouldnt it say when u insert your sim in? Ive seen black listed phones when u insert ur sim in it will tell you to return it back to the originally owner. Id say go meet the guy up and try, if not, I have no clue what the fix would be.

Ah, okay I will definitely look out for that. And actually the guy told me he didnt try it with his sim card because he has AT&T. The phone is his cousins and it stopped working with his cousin. i will meet him up and try to see if it works with my sim. If theres nothing on the water indicators, no blacklist message, and no missing contacts on the sim reader, then maybe its the sim reader or some dust thats causing the issue and can be replaced.

The reason I asked that in the thread is because there is already threads for all kinds of issues with the leak, even one dedicated to bugs for the leak, my thread is just dedicated to getting on to the leak, not issues with the leak, so it should be kept to ONLY people having issues installing the leak, and nothing more. I am not trying to be a jerk, I just can't support every little issue in my thread that the leak might bring. Besides it is a leak, not a final version.
Besides all things about class 10 cards have been covered umpteen times now, just because it is ICS does not mean that it is likely going to change.

Your second link was very helpful; I hadn't seen it before. If you look in your third link you'll find that I've already posted their. All that said someone has made a push recently that replies not hijack a thread so out of respect I started a specific class 10 thread. That said I can't please everyone; and I mean that as respectfully as I can. You can't blink in here without someone saying you did it wrong.

I've been running a SanDisk 32GB Class 10 with no issues......
one caveat however....
I first attached the card to my PC, and formatted it with the following tool https://www.sdcard.org/downloads/formatter_3/
Then I plugged it in the phone and formatted it with the internal utility.
Haven't had a single issue since.

Are you running apps off the sd card? Gb or ics?

Was on GB... Only issue I had then was a slight stutter on certain games running off the SD.
Now on ICS and haven't had any issues.

Jim I had no idea who you were when I first came to these forums. But after all the work you've done I have a great deal of respect for you; so when you asked what you asked I immediately did what you asked. I think you're a hell of a guy. I don't want you to think my comment was aimed at you. But there's way too many people who aren't in charge acting like they are; and people who have a great deal to contribute might never come back because they're being harassed even before they say hello.

[Blink]No intention to harass you sir,[/blink] was just pointing you towards the right threads, i believe you were looking for some info on the sd card issue, and thought those will help you..
But we have seen fair bit of sd card related queries, that's the reason people are little pissed off in here..

Oh I hope you don't think I was upset or anything. I was just hoping that you and everyone else understood my point in the other thread. I was just wanting to clear that up.
As for a class 10 SDcard with ICS. I put one of the 3 that I have and I still have the same issues with the gallery and the certain apps that just stop seeing the card for no reason, sometimes a reboot works and other times it does not. For the record I have a class 10 32GB SAN Disk that I use and I have been using in a few phones with any issues but the A2 has issues with it. I also a a class 4 and a class 6 32GB SAN Disk as well, and both of those work without any issues in the A2 and don't have the same weirdness that the class 10 does.

Do I copy system and app files back to the card once formatted or should I let the phone create new ones?
And i have also read in the threads i have mentioned one member has quoted he has no problem with his kingmax 32gb class 10 men card..

I saw one guy say that a PNY one was working on that second link you posted. I never saw that before because I got caught up on another thread about Atrix 2 bugs (caused by SD card). I'm sorry if I was a little snappy earlier; it's not personal I'm just sick of life as a whole.
Techsavvy you've made me a happy man! I did all that you said and now I can run Passmark Mobile. It used to freeze up on mem test. This is my 16gb Class 6. If I don't have any problems for the next few days (usually within 2 days I will have a problem) then I will buy a 32gb UHS1. I will keep everyone posted if this solves the problem. If this works for others hit the thanks button on Techsavvy.

and most of the people who reported class 10 working with them, later on reported that they are also getting few issues, and somebody said it "It doesn't matter if its working now, soon or later you will face issues", not trying to discourage you, but you know I've gone through most of the threads and this is what i understood
Just wondering what people's experiences are so far with the physicalilty of the device. I really like the way it feels and fits in my hand, with the keyboard open and in landscape mode. Also love the feel of the keyboard, tho i might change a couple things in the key layout.
The one thing i'm seeing is my keys are already getting quite scuffed, perhaps from being pressed with my thumbnails? A few of the printed letters are wearing down and i'm afraid i won't be able to see them after not too much longer! Is anyone else seeing this?
Other than that, the overall build quality is ok, maybe a tad cheap-ish(?), but i like it. In some ways it could be my favorite qwerty phone yet.
Physically the phone is solid. Mentally.. not so much.
Agreed on the mental instability bit.
The things my Photon would do, but not limited to:
1. Notifications go into the ether (don't pop up in notification bar)
2. Apps that go fullscreen will sometimes cause the nav/status bar to black out
3. Vibrate completely at random
4. Take 5 minutes to unlock
5. Regularly see my SD card as "corrupted"
6. Autopunctuation fails at random
And that's all I can remember off the top of my head. It seems to have some real crazy quirks. Hoping CM10 makes it better.

...YES...and now is my 32GB SD definitely dead
For me is this problem only with 32GB cards.16GB works fine.
I forgot to mention, the touchscreen seems a bit wonky to me.... Not very responsive, gotta press a few times sometimes to open an app, and it sorta freaks out sometimes and doesn't swipe from side to side and opens stuff i didn't mean to open. I had a Moto Cliq 2 and had similar touchscreen issues.
I think CM10 would be great on this device, we oughta get cracking on that build. I don't know for sure, but I'd be surprised if we ever got official support from the CM team.

Done.
Now to get it functional...
I still think we should focus on CM9, then worry about getting 10. But that's just me...

Sounds good to me, we do have ICS source, right? How come the source download is only a few MB tho? Did they just release the drivers, and you gotta add them in to the rest of the code?

Moto released the kernel source, they are under no obligation to release userland source.
I have gotten CM9 booting, but not much else. Interloper didn't have the device and was working on CM10... it never booted. I'm hoping he'll make some progress with the device in his hands.

For fun i have built an HTC kernel or two, and the source downloads were always almost 100 MB tho, so i was confused when i looked at our source, haha. I'm not real experienced tho.
From what i hear, getting it to boot is a huge part of it, so that's great. Hopefully we'll get further along soon!

64GB cards do this as well.
I have a fix: Go to a Mac (haven't tested this on PC) and have Disk Utility repair the SD card. Twice for good measure. Usually clears it right up. It's annoying when it happens and I'm nowhere near my computer, though.

They have a 3 month obligation before they violate the GPL for every kernel/software update.
The phone has some issues but so did my evo shift to a certain extent which is why I was re-flashing ROMS all the time. Go to any phone forum and there are always bugs
- I only have the weird touchscreen problems, that someone mentioned above, only when the phone is charging. A little weird. if I overtax the phone i can cause some hangups. I blame Android more than the touchscreen or processor.
- I'm in and out of cell service alot because of the location of my job. I've been blaming that for the fact that notifications come at weird times and out of order. When I'm in service all the time, notifications seem pretty solid.
- The physical keyboard seems to double-type occasionally, but overall I'm ok with its performance. Keyboard slide out mechanism is good, where on my evo shift I thought was a bit too..."loose"?
- I have the wifi drop problem that someone mentioned in another thread. I blame software on that as well. Maybe the next patch will get it right. These companies are just trying to push phones out the door these days. Remember when video games couldn't be updated over internet and how solid they were out the box? Nowadays, everything needs OTA patches at some point. Shame, but I digress.
- camera could be WAY better (auto-focus, poor lighting scenarios). This may be my biggest complaint, because this should be solid out the box given how far phone cameras have come. How long have phones had cameras now? I had a phone camera in 04.
I could give a long list of good physical and software points. Overall I'm really happy. JB would make me happier, but ICS on the Q is pretty darn good.
I have a few scrapes/scratches on my spacebar from sliding the phone open and closed so often, but that's it.
Also, that little oval/dot thing on the left side of the keyboard face of the phone to the left of the number 1, what is that?

Ever since I updated, my keyboard backlight is no longer "automatic". Have to set it always on because it stops turning on when set on automatic.
Physically, phone is solid.
