[mod] sd card speed fix...

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.

ha, no problem..
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.

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

Storage capacity question, increase or something

Hello All!
Just got HTC One S in the mail today, I was aware of the limited storage of the phone by reading the forums here, users said I should have around 10GB of "user" storage. Quite far from the advertised 16 haha!
I understand the ~2GB is dedicated to apps etc.
My question is:
Has anyone figured out how to repartition the storage in order to decrease app storage, and increase user storage? (maybe by a different rom etc?)
I personally wouldn't mind having 1GB of app space just to fit a few more albums of music (I love music on my phone)
I'm thinking even if I used nobloat to remove the t-mobile preloaded stuff, I would only increase the application storage (which does nothing for but increase just the application storage space?)
Somebody give me some help here

Anybody??

Removing the bloat will only free up space on your system partition, not /data where your downloaded apps are stored. I'm not sure if anyone has repartitioned the One S yet, though.

Your HTC Hero prolly had S-OFF or a similar removal of protections in place. As of now, without S-OFF we cannot repartition, becaue we cannot write to locked areas of the NAND / NVRAM (whatever it is exactly...) and therefore we can't resize partitions.

Nope, no S-off

Question
the question is another: can we physically change the sd-card hosted inside the phone with another one of a bigger capacity? (32 / 64 gb like in the HTC Mozart)

That's assuming its an actual SD Card, and not some memory soldered in place (most likely)

Run some read/write speed tests, you'd be pretty lucky to get an SD card that could put up the numbers this phone does. It's a very tiny chance it's an SD card, but I refuse to give up hope until it's proven.

me too, as I am getting up to 18mb read and I backup a lot, so it is welcome
I am converted to no sd card phones, as the memory here is fine for me--got dropbox/google drive etc if needed

If you have decent coverage in your area you can try google play. And I'm pretty sure you can download the music directly to your phone from it, if the area you'll be in is spotty.

Does anybody actually read the specs before they buy something ? HTCs website says its 10gb user available storage and so does the back of the T-Mobile box it comes in !

Do you... He said he read the fourms and was aware of the 10gb user space.
I think he's asking if that can be changed.
And to answer that, without S-Off I don't think so.
Sent from my rooted and debloated T Mobile HTC One S

You definitely won't without s-off. Or, more likely an exploit like Blackrose which was developed for the N1. Where it simulates s-off to resize partitions. But, is not true s-off as related to the secure flag. I don't know if it is easy for dev to look at Blackrose in N1 sub-forum and carry that over to One S--

So were talking about this:
4 GB's for the OS, 1 GB for the system apps (after potential resize). Gaining only 1 GB for the User. Increasing the User avalible space to 11GB's.
That seems like a lot of work for only 1GB. Unless someone could trim the OS down by half. 13GB usable....hmmm!

Another solution could be a usb host mode... Don´t know if that is possible?

Hi,
did anyone figured out which IC is used for storage?
Cheers

I read somewhere in one of these forums that someone did have success changing the sd card to a 32gb. And he even posted a video on how to open the device.

internal memory music

hey ive searched but couldnt find a solution....my question is that whether i can play music from internal storage as 4 gb is too much for apps....how can i do that...im on ota ics

Short answer? No. The internal memory is reserved only for the system partition. Even if you could throw some mp3's into a folder in the system side. There's not a music player out there that would look for the files in the system partition. So, no man. You're outta luck.

This is some what useless way to say if there is no other option..... The only real way would be to use something like root explorer..... From there you could move a folder of music from sd to /folder name..... Then from root explorer you could use the music files one at a time .... Best bet go to rat shack and get a 32 gb sd for like $20.....

Well, actually you don't want to stick in /system or /anythingelse, you will bootloop.... If you copy anything to internal storage, it is best to "attempt" put it in /data/music or something, but that is still not a good way to do it. Now this is all just in theory mind you, as it is known that putting things that were not meant to go in certain places on this phone has caused way more heartache than it should and caused more bootloops than I care to elaborate on now.

+1 :good: Yea I have had more than my fair share or bootloops from just looking at my / wrong LOL.....

all of my internal memory is going waste..i hardly use any apps....all i do is music and vids.....i had 16 gb card but it had problems with my ph.....my battery wasnt lasting long enough.... so internal memory problem is the same with other phones also ....i wonder how ppl use nexus phones?

Some phones have user accessible internal storage and in those phones it's done in a way that the user wont be able to modify critical system files. The Atrix 2 is not one of those phones so if you make a mistake you will get a bootloop like hankbizzo5 said. How did you determine that the SD card was reducing your battery life?

Just make sure you get a class 4 card and you'll be fine.

my battery was draining very fast...so i used battery monitor widget...i showed me 200-300 mA discharge even when screen off....so i formatted....same peroblem....i changed the sd from 16 gb sandisk class 4 to 2 gb ....nw everything is fine

so nothing could be done? i mean galaxy note....s3 all have large internal....cant we do anything abt it?....i mean atrix 2 is one of the best dual cores around...i thought this would be solved with ics...some say moto media centre transfers music to internal but i doubt

Yeah, I got an idea.... go find Jims sig and click on his dropbox link, sign up, and you will have 2.5gbs free online storage and you can even put your files in a public folder to play them from anywhere. Its not 4gb but it could be if you then get other people to sign up.
FWIW, I used a 32gb class 10 from time to time and never really noticed a battery problem. That's interesting.

No nothing can be done as far as actually utilizing the internal storage for your personal use. Yes, I'm not surprised your note can do it, add I have access to my internal storage on my skyrocket. But you just can't do it with the A2.

Storage space is running out - some system functions may not work

I have the 32GB N5, and currently have about 500MB free. That seems like it should be enough to me, but Android obviously thinks differently. I called Google Nexus support and talked to someone who had zero knowledge/training, so no help there, they just told me to delete stuff until the message disappeared(which I find to be an insulting "solution").
My question is, is this message a bug? And/or what is the minimum amount of space that needs to be left unused for all of the "system functions" to work correctly.
My appreciation to anyone who can answer this question.

no, not a bug. thats how it is on every android device. on the first generation devices, it was 100mb, on later devices its 400-500mb. you phone needs about 300-500mb to really function, this space is used by caches. i go past this point fairly often with my device(s), and usually delete/move photos to get my storage memory back.

I know this is for the Nexus 7 but the same logic applies running out of storage space - 500MB Warningl
Hope this helps you

Now I'm really wishing the N5 had an SD card slot. Thanks for the info, you would think Google would be more forth coming with that info.

Phone memory saying full when it shouldn't be

I have a cheap android phone Landvo V11 which has been fine till recently. It has a 16gb internal memory and also an sd card which I use for everthing like vids and downloads. Just recently my phone has been getting so slow and the internal memory is saying its almost full bar a few mb. When I browse the phone on my linux PC all the folders in the phone memory only add up to 233mb but still when I check the properties of the whole thing its saying its full. I even had to delete some apps to update others. I'm guessing its some sort of malware but I just cant see whats taking up the space. Can anyone shed any light on this or tell me a way to see the hidden space that I'm missing. thanks

Android considers any space less than 1GB as full or nearly full storage.

Are you using a file manager app that has a recycle bin? If so, maybe the recycle bin is full.
Use an app that has a cleaner function to wipe unneeded data. Use an app that has a file scanner, it should list everything, where it is stored and how big the files are.

Ive tried using standard file browser, ES file explorer and also tried connecting to my linux machine. Can you give me the names of the apps with file scanner cos I dont know what to get. Also is there maybe a decent app that I could use on my linux machine that may do the trick. There should be over 10gb of space free. Whatever is happening, its using a hell of a lot of space but hiding its self well.

1.Try installing rar app.its best file manager after that see files with (.)dot
And delete them (you can find them inside the folders too
2.try to enter in recovery mode by using key combination method and wipe cache and reboot may solve ur problem
3.if this also dsnt wrk backup ur important data in a pc and after that FACTORY RESET the phn.problem gone
And dont forget to press thanx

After looking up the device it seems some have found that it doesn't have the storage it is advertised to have. Like a knock off flash drive that fakes its storage amount.

He was saying that the device doesn't actually have the amount of internal storage as the manufacturer claims it has.
In other words, the manufacturer "claims" the device has 16GB internal storage, but the device actually has considerably less than that.
