Is anyone able to use a class 10 card on GB or ICS?

Here we go again... you should of searched but it may not have bean brought up using ics so I'll give you my experiences They work but their are some issues. I had no probs with one on gb but i didn't run an apps off it and that's where most the probs occur. On ics sometimes it shows 0 pics are in the gallery but Al my music and files show up. And the card shows up in the settings. Maybe its an ics bug but most likely a class 10 issue. class 6 and below work flawlessly.

I've not only searched but I've discussed it. I'm asking because I want to know if ICS fixed it; or if anyone on GB fixed it. BTW I mean run Class 10 without problems, I mean absolutely fine!

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.

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.

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.

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

[Q]End of custom roms??

Is this the end of custom roms for xt720 as I see no updates in any roms neither dexters nor khalpowers.....??
EDIT:I'm a little impatient....plz cooperate with me!
Sent from my XT720 using XDA App
So what if there isn't an update for a while now?
And btw, Dexter doesn't bring updates 'cause he has nothing to update. He brought us the port and khalpowers et all are building upon his port.
1 question for you vari9:
Apart from the few known bugs that are really hard to fix, what should be improved in order to bring an update? I don't see where things can be improved atm. Everything is there.
Ha you need to stop posting so your asking questions already in the forms if your new take sometime read reforms before its becoming spam.

Guys plz don't take me in the wrong way!

A very important component to how long it takes after a shot is the write speed of your SD card. The card Motorola ships with the XT720 is abysmal. Also, apparently there are a number of fraudulent faster cards on the market even from reputable companies. I got a Kingston class 10, but it really isn't class 10 except for a one second burst when it first starts writing. Anyway, my point is that hardware is part of the picture.

Gonna try it and let you guys know.
Using:
-MicoSD Motorola shipped with the XT720
-2048 KB cache like the program recommends
The program doesn't do anything when I click the button to apply, but picture taking seems to be somewhat faster, so I dunno if it actually works or not.

ordered an atrix 2 today, have some questions

so after a call with some complaints on my service, i ended up getting an upgrade a month early, the A2 for $24.99 and $20 off of my bills, lol.
anyhow, i went with the atrix 2 because it seemed like a great phone at a great price. however, i was kind of pushed into the atrix 2 because i did not have time to really research the purchase.
after reading some reviews now, i see that some are complaining about call volume. i had this problem with my x10 and i hated the x10 because of the in call volume. how is the income volume on the atrix 2? is it as bad as what i'm reading? has a recent update fixed it?
also, how is the camera? shutter speed? clarity? etc?
i have a nexus s now, recently sold my x10.
I havent noticed the call volume being quiet? Just as loud as my Atrix 1 / BB Torch.
Camera is good, opens quick and my pictures have been clear. Only issue is that the first picture is mostly corrupt. Supposedly there will be a firmware update to fix this.
Loving mine as well... only one complaint is the first pic not saving

or the first pic you take after every time you open the camera app up?
No problems here at all, loving mine! I think some of the issues they're having are related to their microSD card
I have had my A2 now for two weeks, no complaints with call volume at all and I too came from an X10. The only issue I've had so far is with my sdcard becoming read only (causing pics not to save, cant use zedge, cant take screenshots, cant save any media to it) intermittently. It seems the cause of that was the class 10 sdcard I had in it, apparently this phone doesnt play well with class 10 cards so I picked up a 16gb class 4 card last night and so far so good.

Interesting, but im using a Class 6 16gb so i should be okay? Ill probably grab a Class 4 or 6 32gb
I have had no issues with call volume on my A2 and pics are way better than the OG. You were pushed into a good choice my friend.
Im using a class 6 16G card also and have had zero problems or ill effects from it
So far so good only one question.First pic cant be saved?

Try hooking your phone up to a computer and making a backup up your microSD card. Then erase all the contents on your card. Remove the card and then reinsert it and let your phone format the card. After its done transfer your backup back to your card. This has been helping with some peoples problems. As stated earlier though our phones aren't playing well with clads 10 microSD cards. Hopefully this will help you.
My experience has been just the opposite. I originally purchased a 16gb class 4 PNY card and I had the aforementioned read only issues. I then exchanged it for a 16gb class 10 PNY and all has been good since. and that has been about 3 weeks ago. Go figure?

Battery life is incredible as well. I only need to charge it when I go to bed and that's it. Lasts from 7:30 am to midnight for me.
cool, mine should be here when i get home from work.

my wife is going to use it for now. it has some blemishes, but nothing major. it's only about 6 months old to begin with.
another question, did att cripple unknown sources on the atrix 2 as well? if so, is there a way around it?

SD card problems

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.

Scared to buy because i heard development might be dead.

Im planning to buy it today but after reading threads about how development have been slow and might come to a halt soon. Coming from an HD2 i dont want to buy this phone only for rom development to cease 6 months later. Any reassurance you guys can offer me or should i just stay away?
Can you point to a thread where it was said development might be slowing? It seems to me like development is picking up since the release of the kernel source.
The latest AT&T OTA update might slow things slightly because it blocks the old root and unlocking exploits, but I don't think it's anywhere near dead. Still, I could be wrong. Where did you see this stated?

Did you just say your buying a phone solely on ROM development? If thats the only thing you want then this probably isnt the one for you. Even though IMO its the best phone currently out. Take a look around the forums and see for yourself if the development is up to your standard

Ah, okay. Well, not having had any other Android phone, I don't really know what to compare it to. I've been satisfied with the options available, but I'm not a Flash-aholic. There are a fair number of both Sense-based and AOSP-based ROMs to choose from, and so far none of the devs seem to be going anywhere. But, development will never equal something like the S3 or even the international One X, just because of the smaller userbase.
The other factor to consider is that if you get an AT&T One X today, it might very well come with the 2.20 update, meaning you wouldn't be able to root or unlock it right away.
It's not dead yet but even scrosler said that he will be moving on to another phone if something happens to his One X. AT&T should be ashamed of themselves for locking down this amazing phone. However the enthusiasts aren't their target customers. They don't care enough about losing us to change.
The OP is screwed if he gets a phone with the new software.
Btw, is everyone's xda app working ok? Mine won't connect or let me sign in.

Having the same problem with the Tapatalk app.
Also can't get in with any of the XDA apps.
As far as dev being dead. I don't see how. Check out the original development section, the guys are rocking in there and working hard to get things moving. Team Nocturnal is pumping out ROMs and updates for those ROMs. If the ultimate goal of "dev activity" is AOSP, which always seems to be the case, then we are very close.
The sky isn't falling, Chicken Little.
Back when the Captivate came out, people were saying the same thing for the first year the phone was out. Now go check out the Captivate forums. They are still going strong.
I think this has more to do with people not getting what they want RIGHT NOW, than anything else. Everyone wants perfect CM9 and CM10 as soon as they get the phone. It seems like a lot in the community frequently forget that these guys are doing this for free and of their own accord. Sometimes they run into problems like devices being bricked, broken...or not even having the device at all. Sometimes they are kids in HS and have other things on their plates. Not everyone has time to sit infront of a computer and develop for 12+ hrs a day.
I had my SGS2 for a good 6 months before CM9 nightlies came along.
It's also worth mentioning that if you don't at least donate to the devs, you don't really earn the right to ***** about anything.

Mine was acting up earlier but seems fine now.

If you're looking for a phone with development, go get an N1, Galaxy Nexus, Nexus S, etc... We got the HOX because it's the best phone on the market right now, regardless of the development scene. We are all thankful that we have a development scene, of course, but I think we all chose this phone before looking at the existing scene. As the phone matures, the scene will only get better.
What's about with the storage? I am showing only 9gb free on a brand new one x. That's just nuts? I thought 16gb was bad, now I am finding its even worse

Should be 9.93 GB dedicated to an SD card partition and about 2.34 GB dedicated to internal storage.

Why would they do that? Given that there isn't an external sd slot, this phone has less space then most if not all android phones on the market.

Coming from an iPhone I learned quickly that I either embrace the cloud for music or get a different phone. Luckily Google Music gives you 20,000 songs free and it streams very well, even on high quality mode.

I don't really store music on my phone, mostly pictures and videos which take up a lot of space. And if you add in a nandroid or two you + Titanium backup backups you are looking at a phone with no more storage room. Man such a bummer... I had no idea it was only 16g I guess I was looking at the International x and figured it would be the same as far as storage was concerned. Such a beautiful phone to be spoiled by this. Oh well my bad

This is the best phone out there today despite development.
As i said in another thread
F*CK htc and at&t and their development crap we will pull through

Missing half of Internal Storage GS3

I have a 32GB Galaxy S3
For some reason when I go to Settings>Storage
Under Device memory>Total Space 16.00GB(My external SD shows up as having 32GB)
If I plug my phone into my laptop I see two drives Phone(~12GB) SD card (32GB)
I've tried going to mounts and storage in cwm and formatting system, data, cache and sd card. I have also tried different roms
Is it possible that my phone is mislabeled and I received a 16GB by mistake.
Anyone no what I'm doing wrong
I have read on here somewhere that a few people did get mislabeled s3's that said they were 32gb and were actually 16gb. May want to take it into a store and see what they say.

I guess that's the only explanation that makes sense. Barring any other bright ideas, I guess I'll return to stock and do an exchange. Really sucks as JB roms just started rolling a few days ago and I finally got my phone running perfectly.

Ya definitely but paying for a 32GB one and getting a 16 is not cool. That is a big deference, I definitely feel you on it being a bad time cause these JB roms are awesome. But one day shouldn't be too bad, plus they will have some better updated Verizon's by then. Good luck man that sucks for sure.
Yeah, you have a 16gb. 16gb are really 12gb "4gb ROM" so you should go asap to a store

Yeah keep us posted since their not selling 32gb ones at my local Verizon anymore. They do have the black one though!

just stick a 64gb sd card in the external slot and have vzw credit you the difference. im not sure why most folks want 32gb of internal anyway. i prefer to keep my stuff on ext that way if i need to wipe internal, i dont have to move anything.

:good:
The only other reason would be resale value and/or sellability... but probably still wouldn't make economical sense.
I made the mistake of having most of my stuff on the phone memory (sold my extSD card with my last phone) and it got wiped when my phone soft bricked and required an ODIN.
Now I have a class 10 64Gb SD card from BB ($49) and it's great.
It is worth to note that I had to format as Fat32 to get CWM to read it in recovery mode. Now ALL my data and backups are on the extSD card!!!

Here's an update
I went to Verizon this morning and presented my problem to the Tech. She is baffled. She proceeds to convene a veritable round table of management, techs and sales people. After some tense moments of deliberation, they offer me a 16GB Micro-SD card(note I believe they only carry class 6).
It takes all my composure not to fall to the ground in a seizure of laughter.
Now even if I didn't have a 64GB class 10, how would replacing the missing internal memory(high quality memory), with low quality class6 external memory even close to equivelant.
After noting my reaction, they proceed to offer a full replacement. Needless to say, I chose the latter
