I've done some searches on unbricking Xoom tht coursed by Partitioning SD using ROM MANAGER, seems theres no way to unbrick, but i've seen a few ppl saying disconnecting battery and reconnecting would do the job?
Has any1 tried?
THanks
I highly doubt it. Think about what they are doing when they "partition" the sd card in the xoom. What they are really doing is wiping the entire memory of the xoom. Its like deleting your entire hard drive on a computer and expecting a disconnect of the battery to fix it. By all means though, I hope I'm wrong so I can stop seeing 5 threads a day about someone doing it.

does ealglesblood have the same computer not able to see the external micro usb card when you plug it into the computer that cm has? i love cm but this problem is getting eralyl annoying. the other side is, does anyone have a solution to this cm 7 issue? ive searched the forums and either missed the answer, or no one has asked this question. thanks for any help

PTP allows you to connect your phone to the PC or Mac without unmounting the storage from the phone and mounting it to the PC. That way you can exchange files between your PC and storage device while still listening to music or looking at pictures on your phone. USB Mass Storage forces the phone to unmount the storage from the phone (stopping all music and photos as well as all the other files on your Internal Storage or SD Card) and mounting it directly to the PC.

I don't think it's an "issue", per say.
yeah, that doesnt really help. but if there is a better explanation or a fix would be better.
Well, did you have a rom where it wasn't like that?
I'd suggest flashing that.
I may have misunderstood your problem, but I think I know what you're talking about now. Since Eaglesblood is based on CM7 source, I'd say yes, it does have the same problem.
I usually just mounted the SD card in recovery. Can't say I've seen a fix.
I'm on eaglesblood 2.5 and I can get both emmc and external sdcard to mount just fine, make sure your USB driver is properly installed.
Never had that problem either on cm7, only stock roms...

yeah i had cm7 on my mytouch 4g and it worked fine. i was really surprised that it didnt work with this phone. its odd. i did install the latest version of eaglesblood and my computer does see both the internal and external micro sd. so ill stick with eaglesblood for a few and see how i like it. on the up side, my gps locks on almost instantly with this rom
one more question i guess. does the lg camera work with eaglesblood?
As far as I know it only works for OTA gb roms, so no it won't.

I'm new to this device, and my main problem is that for some reason I can only transfer files to my SD card at around 800k/sec.
I know it's not my PC, I'm using my Samsung stock USB cable, and with my old G2X, using this same cable, I would get around 1.8mb/sec.
is this an issue with the Nexus S or just the way things are with the phone?
No - it seems to be a common thing.
Mine is transferring all my movies back on after a fresh wipe and new ROM at 559kb/s right now.
For some reason it was about 1.2 MB/s last night, but it is slower right now.
I have tried putting it into aeroplane mode, but it has made no difference. I have also tried google searching and reading other forums and it seems to be a common thing with the Nexus S...
Let me know if you find out a way to improve things!

Damnit, talk about a let down. I have a 32gb SDHC sitting at home but I don't think we can swap out the internal storage, can we?
I know on the HTC HD7 there was a way to remove the internal SD card and put in something larger.
If you are on AOKP ROM, go to Settings >> ROM Control >> Startup tweaks. Enable SD Boost and bump up read ahead value.
Otherwise, install ROM Toolbox from Play Store, on the Performance panel, bump up SD Card Boost value. It's reset at boot unless you tick apply on boot.
Goodluck.

Awesome, I'm on RemICS at the moment, but still in the process of figuring out which ROM works best for me.
I ran across some script that increases the SD cache size. Right now mine is set to 1024, but the scripts go all the way up to 4096. I'm not too sure how that translates to the actually mb/sec but I'm going to give this a shot.
If you need faster transfer speeds for larger files, you're better off using recovery. Its an issue with ICS and that is what I've been using for large files.

Yup. Semi fixed issue with ICS. Depends on a few things, like ROM base and kernel used. Just mount in recovery and enjoy normal speeds.
My phone ( Blaze 4 G 4.04 ) only charges to 75% . Tried every charger imaginable and Ive changed batteries with new, calibrated as best as I can with not 100% showing etc. My problem is that the 75% is actually 100% charged. I pull the battery out and put it in my wife or sons identical Blaze 4G and it shows 100% on their phones. If I charge a battery to 100% in their phones and put it in mine it shows 75% . Battery fresh off the standalone charger shows 75% . I havent found a way to change the calibration of the meter and Ive tried ALL the battery calibrator apps. The problem is that when the battery discharges towards the low range I get the warnings etc even though the battery is actually still half charged. Ive tried everything and no calibrator apps do a damned thing to the meter itself. I wiped the phone with the factory reset this morning and still 75% after the phones been on the charger all day.
Any ideas ? I dont really want to flash a custom ROM as I use the wifi calling feature and no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that into the custom ROM's out there plus the external SD card ID seems to get lost with the Blaze custom ROM's too.
What do you mean by the external card SD card ID? The external cards works flawlessly in the custom roms. And that's very rude saying, "no one seems to have figured out how to incorporate that (wifi calling) into the custom ROM's," The devs have lots of things into their hands, if you need it so much why don't you figure it out?
The only way to actually wipe the battery stats is with cwm. You can flash cwm with Odin and not touch the rom. Also custom roms based off stock ics have working wifi calling.
But I think the issue may be with your phone, so wiping battery stats/flashing a rom will probably not work, I have seen this on a different devices.

Ive flashed half a dozen ROM's on this phone, my sons phone and my wifes phone. None of them gave normal access to the external SD card. I could play music off them and movies etc but none of the file access programs would open the SD card file directory. Ive seen other people complain about that too. .Ended up going back to the factory ROM to be able to have normal external SD access and to be able to use the wifi calling.
And no, no one has developed a ROM that can use the wifi calling feature. Seems like one of the first things that would get cloned but whatever. I'm just a mechanical engineer not a software developer so writing my own code is beside my pay grade. Only reason I bought these phones in the first place was the integral wifi calling. Not the greatest phones either. My sons drops wifi after 15 minutes every time. Mine won't show a full charge on a full charge and then wigs out at the bottom of its charge cycle. I'll be using them in the trap launcher in 11 months once the contract is up. Pull.

Could you recommend a stable ROM that has the working wifi calling feature? None that I have tried would allow for wifi calling. I gave up trying a few months ago when the factory ICS came out and my CWM got blown away by Kies. Of course my new laptop is windows 8 which isnt playing well with Odin. Gives me a reason to boot my son of my old win 7 desktop. He spends too much time on those computer games anyway.

Got nothing to lose so lets try yet another ROM. I couldnt find a copy of blaz3r . seems as though the link is dead. I did reroot the phone and get tweaked installed. Its going through start up now. We will see how it performs. Thanks
Well, that didnt work. The meters stuck at 77% yet actually fully charged. I do like the tethering and hot spot capabilities of the new ROM though.
Ok I suggest flashing a jellybean rom. And for the external sd card issue you've had it's under storage and sdcard1. Try it it's going to work. It's not inside external sd in sd card. I recommend using root explorer going storage/sdcard1

The external card access didnt work with CM10 and a few other jelly bean ROM's Ive tried. Yes, I tried all sorts of ways to access it through file explorer programs.
As far as charging, the factory ICS ROM was working fine until a few weeks ago. My wife and sons blazes work fine with the factory ICS ROM.

No go on the jelly bean. Same thing. Charges to 75 % or so and the battery dies completely within 4-5 hours. Called up T-mobile and I'm 1 day past the warranty period. Oh joy.

The external and internal sdcards work in every JB ROM that's currently available on xda for the blaze. The reason you can't find them is user error, not the ROM. Solid Explorer makes it really easy, but if you just want the file path to both its /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/external_sd
Try 'su cd /mnt' and then 'ls' in the terminal emulator or with adb shell and they'll show up. Then you just have to learn how to use your file explorer software of choice.

changed everything a few times including the battery. Most it will get out of any battery under any condition is about 3 hours. Thats with zero programs running and no use or screen activation. Most any battery will charge to is 75% and they start dropping like a stone once charged. Right now it just stays on the charger as my garage music player.

Hey guys,
It has only been three months since I purchased the Samsung Galaxy S Blaze 4G, and I currently have a few issues that really are bugging me out. I will bullet them out to make it clean and easier for you guys to read and figure out.
ALSO -- My phone is rooted, rocking a custom rom (AOKP JB Blaze 4G: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1989825)
1. Every time I take a screenshot, picture, download something, or just about any piece of data, my phone for some reason saves it all to my internal storage device, which is barely 1 GB. I have a 32GB MicroSD card, and bought the SD card with the intention that I can save all my data to that, never having to worry about my 1GB internal storage getting full. Is there any way to fix this? My phone is rooted, rocking a custom ROM, and I really don't see how this can be an issue. Can someone help me to fix this issue? I am a real noob when it comes to stuff like this, so I would appreciate detailed instructions!
2. My phone currently has an issue where every time I get a notification, the 4 LED touch-buttons on the bottom of the phone start blinking. I prefer it to not blink at all (as I would instead like to save precious battery life).
3. Even though its only been three months (less than a month with the new ROM) I noticed that the battery life is not too amazing, it drains out REALLY fast for some reason. All I really do on my phone is web browsing and visiting a social media app (facebook, twitter, etc...) and that's really it. Is there a way to possibly fix this as well? Could it be the ROM
4. When I drive, I often use my phone as a GPS, and what's funny is, even though the phone is plugged in (and technically charging), the battery drains out. I don't know how that is possible, as the phone is plugged in and charging through my car. Could it just be that this phone was never meant to be used as a GPS? Or is this another problem that can have a workaround to?
Anyways, that is my list, I'd really appreciate your help to solving all those issues, as I use this phone as a daily driver, and need all of the phone's functions working without problems.
Thanks!

Im new here also as of today. Im sorry your having issues with your phone and the rom. I have been doing alot of research on this phone we have as Im still stuck on Gingerbread. I just went off contract from Tmobile and recently rooted it. Getting ready to upgrade the rom.
I have read in some posts that the JB rom did have some problems with recognizing SD cards. Seems to me that I read that this was changed in a later release. I wish I could find that thread again and show you but it escapes me. Is this a stock ROM for JB that you are using?
I do have a question for you. I want to upgrade from gingerbread and thinking CM10. However, I do have to make sure speakerphone works. Any problems there?
I would guess at this point that you should try another ROM.

Ok, Most likely the vold.fstab file lists the mounting points for the phones filesystem. It will probably be a text file and I would suggest making a backup copy before modifying it. Otherwise you could really screw things up.
I have not viewed this file yet because I dont know of the exact location yet. I found a link but Iam a new user and not permitted to post it. Do a search for vold.fstab and you should easily find a link for editing it.
Basically, Your going to edit the fstab file and change the settings for mounting the sdcard. I would think a reboot of your phone will probably be the last step.
Hope this helps, From one learning to another

You should be able to disable the flashing LEDs (also known as pulse notifications) through the display settings.
I'm not certain if there were device settings in the 4.1 era.
Battery life on 4.1 was garbage. I could only imagine the GPS drain.
4.3 had the best.

The GPS navigation on the blaze takes a lot of battery. If you have the phone plugged in the battery won't drain as fast as compared to not having it plugged in.

To be honest, I never had a battery life problem on 4.1.2, one reason is I didn't use Google Apps (I had gapps package installed, but the minimal package), I also followed this thread:

If you like push notifications from Gmail and other Google dependent apps, ignore that thread. Otherwise, it will improve your battery life. The other reason was I never ran cm10. I ran @thomas.raines ParanoidAndroid 4.1.2. Imo, the best cm10 based rom the Blaze had. But that's MY opinion. He's taken down the link, maybe you can try and chase him down and see if he'll re-upload it for you...
