I tried to post this in the thread for the Open Zio Revamped but it wont let me since I dont have enough posts yet. lol Anyways on to the questions.
First off when I install my apps and try to move them to the SD card they disapear from the app list after I reboot. How can I stop this from happening?
2nd When I get a call from sombody sometimes it has the wrong picture for a contact. I had this problem with Open zio as well though.
Thank You
Well i have been doing some research and this happens quite often apparently. What causes it is the loader boots up before the SD card is scanned. So when I force close the ICS loader and open my app draw they appear. I cant seem to find a way to change when the loader will load up though... I would like to make it load a few seconds later to give the sd card a chance to scan first. Does anybody know of an app or anything that can do this? I have looked and cant seem to find one.

I can confirm the wrong pictures on phone calls from time to time, but the sd card problem i havent personally experienced...

I have found a work around other than force closing ICS. I downloaded an app called FMR Memory Cleaner that cleans the cache of a lot of the system apps including the ICS Loader and so when that is done ICS then pics up the data from the SD card. I think it could be possibly the SD card is slow to read for one reason or another because I did notice when I had Open Zio before it would often either take a while to load all of the apps though they did load or the Loader would crash and when it reloaded then the apps that were on SD would show. Although this has happened with both of my SD cards it was more noticeable on my 8 gig one. If anybody else is getting this issue I hope this helps until I or somebody else finds a more permanent fix for this what seems so far to be a one of a kind issue lol.
Ohh and when I said it happens quite often I meant throughout all androids not just zio or with any particular rom. Just to clear that up.
I haven't tried open zio yet. I'm contemplating it though cause I have a larger problem and like you I can't post where I need to yet. I need to enable usb debugging but can't access settings.... or much else.
You mean its not available in the settings any longer? Or the settings crash whenever you try to get in them. I probably cant help but if I get time ill try to look up your issue and see if I find anything. What did you do before that happened? Have you tried resting the phone back to the base setup?
My phone is 2.2.1 from Cricket and I also have one contact that shows the wrong picture too. Could it be a sync issue or a google server issue?

chalk another one up as I am also having the sd card issue. if i FC the ICS launcher it picks them up but only for a short time. as soon as the phone sleeps it reverts back. im looking for a read booster for the sd card but i havent found one that seems appropriate yet. ill post back here when i do.

I've personally had alot of problems with SD cards that come with the phones that I've had, I don't know what it is with them but when I change to a new SD card my problems stop( in particular the T-Mobile optimus t was the worst) . Have you tried reformatting the SD card? Maybe that will help.
Sent from my LG-P509 using xda premium
yeah reformatted and re installed all my apps ( i did a full copy of my sdcard just in case i had something i needed to save, but didnt copy it back to the sdcard)
Still having same problem
Its a known bug in the 2.2.1 build, it's nice to see that someone is trying to keep the Zio community going... Mine has a bad battery and I wanted to get a better phone anyways since there is no chance the Zio will ever see cyanogenmod or even an AOSP gingerbread build.
If anyone can prove me wrong I'd donate for the effort even though I don't use it anymore...

Same here Mattix I gave up on the Zio a while ago just happened to come back cause a friend asked me to see if there was ever a port for CWM for Sprint users. I got a HTC Incredible and haven't looked back.
I sort of went down the rooting route due to everyone saying it was a MUST - even though the LG ran well, everything worked well and battery life was OK if not groundbreaking. So I was kind of half-hearted to start with.
Well, after 2 days of having to keep re-romming after this didn't work and that didn't work (Bluetooth in particular) I just can't get MIUI to see the 16gb card as the 16gb it is, it shows as 5. Now I had read this before. But that the LG software had this problem not the rooted stock. I even tried to go back to LG's original - It didn't work. The download on here (UK version of original Optimus 2x) doesn't install. Says "aborted" - this after horrendously slow download speeds. Keeps saying it's part of a multi-pack on my PC. Put them both on, but....
Anyways. The 16gb card. Ive tried another 16gb card with the same end result.
Can anyone PLEASE help me. Ive got no help on the MIUI site, and just lost. I tried to install Navfree and another navigation prog (Navfree UK maps don't download properly - keeps demanding more and more downloads. Ridiculously so - had to be uninstalled) tried another one, and it said it needed a 750mb download and there wasn't enough room - there was a MOUNTAIN of room. But its showing as 5. (Even there, theres not close to 5gb used)
Can anyone PLEASE help ?
All Ive got so far asking on half a dozen sites, is silence so far in 4 days
I doubt what is 'seen' as 5 gb by your phone is your SD card. I haven't ever heard of such problems. Big chances are, which often happens, that you're mistaking the internal memory as the sd card.
Stock MIUI mounts the internal and external cards the same way as stock LG ROM, but there could be a chance you used a swap mount mod without knowing.
I actually wanted to laugh, here i upload a file just for you

You might have fake memory, memory thats been hacked to look like it has more than it does....the chinese do stupid s**t like that. Sometimes when the card is formatted the true memory capacity is revealed.

Er.....I checked, and yes, a big thanks given to you for your help. Quite profuse, actually. Ive just noticed the "thanks" button - but you could have done it with a LOT more grace.
Clearly, being thanked profusely didn't do it for you ?
Hard man to please.
I'll click the button then that I missed until er.....reminded of it a little too grumpily for me - hopefully that'll tick the box for you.
Still, while being a little miffed at the attitude, Im still very grateful for your help, for all that.
I got a note7000 offer at a bargain price; half the price of the original... the idea is that the guy is selling it as fault emmc bug. He told me that wiping the data - factory reset caused the problem.
The phone works from times to times he said, is still partially functional, thus he still asks for the price of SII for it, which he wants to replace with.
My question is:
Is the emmc bug permanent? I want to buy it cause is such a awesome screen\phone and i cant afford one from retails at full price. My plan is to downgrade from ics to gb with safe kernels and hope it wont brick with odin as unsafe as it is already.
Don't buy it. He is selling a bricked device for half the price (I wouldn't pay that for a used but fully functional right now).
And you will always get problems with it in many different situations.
Its risky for me, but also rewarding. If you'd seen this particular phone, is almost brand new. He told me it wasn't used much and that is visible on the over all aspect. And god, i love amoled screens, even if pentile is infamous.
Could you describe what you mean by being bricked? -> the phone boots and installs stuffs, but from time to times has the flaw of getting stuck -> require reset.
Its on the way
ps. I trust that if i had this stuff happen to me, coming from a samsung product, i would be able to get it fixed somehow.
Congrats: you just bought a bricked device. I guess he used the repartition workaround which reduces available capacity.
He didn't do the only real fix: replace motherboard in Samsung Service Center.
If you read here more before buying you would understand my "do not buy". Now you will learn later.
And he didn't lie to you - he told everything about the condition.
If you want to learn now while waiting for it, start to read about bricked devices here, about hg42's repartition thread etc. You might need it
Well, wish me luck. I'm gonna follow the steps from around the topics here.
I just hope i can watch movies, and pictures, and browse the mail... then he can get stuck but just a little.
I got an ace on my sleeves though. I can test it before i buy it... any advices, maybe doesn't even have the bug, how i notice
that ?
I'm gonna try these steps on the clip from rootgalaxynote:
youtube - hDtTNDVcTF4
If it doesn't work, i'm screwed cause i do not have a replace phone atm.
Following those steps will only mean that you won't brick it again... and anyway that is really outdated... When you've had enough of constant freezes then you will probably want to try a slim rom such as Slim Bean 4.2.2
I just purchased a n7000 from a guy on eBay for $350.00. It has the Ultimate rom installed in the screenshots. This means that it should be fine, right? I should receive it this week sometime. I bricked my i9100 back when the brick bug first appeared so I'm kind of worried about this.

Thanks for replies. I dunno what to expect. It is worrying, but probably i'll return it back cause is not worth the money if you put it this way "unusable".
He said to me to add a new sd card,,, i guess here is where he was just too honest. This confirms that there is actually a permanent damage to the hardware, especially the hefty 16 GB of memory.
My friend has the bug and he did the workaround , The phone freezes when you turn on bluetooth or wifi , And also the internal memory is low , but good luck with your's btw "restarting it from time to time" seems suspicious though

Apparently that was a slight misleading. On itself doesn't restart. I got the phone right now. Is so huge even an elephant could use it.
Only freezes when i try write something thru usb cable. The ram is smaller, only 5 gb.

Really? Then it might be double-bricked and double "workarounded". Each time lossing about 3 GB...
When I close my eyes I see the grinning of this a--h-le who sold it for real money.
That sucks...
Now I want to see if is only a memory problem of the storage sd, or is as well as for the last 'bastion' of my phone, 2GB rom... cause then i can install slimbean like i've been adviced here.

First off, i'm in a bit of trouble right now. As you can guess, i can do something about it, cause beyond this is the morality of getting into a mess on someone's fault. Now that has to be decided, as long as is not mine.
This guy told me it is partially usable, add a card, try fix it yourself. At 190$ i expect to be better then a S1 or nexus s which might easly outmatch this phone. If is a matter of pride. Just keep it to yourself.
Either i give this guy a bad review as is a site as amazon, where user feedback is noted, or i return it back myself. Is not the holly grail, is just a phone.
He told me is not permanent damage.
LE: I got some good news and bad new:
I cannot add videos, it simply doesn't write. It doesn't freeze my phone anymore, this time i'm using samsung kies. Good news, i can write photos and songs.
I'm half way there in trusting this guy that with a sd card, the phone will work just okay in installing stuff.
On the other hand, i dunno if the internal storage is damaged; can i install jelly bean? or change the culprit kernel? or should i live with it as it is.
the seller has a no return policy. so ur actually screwed. you think the seller is a noob and that he didnt know about the fix. sometimes being too wise makes u feel and idiot in the end.

How was his random ranting relevant to this topic?
So what do you think... flashing a new kernel and formating the sdcard do any good?
I may have a different term for bricking: When used in reference to consumer electronics, a "brick" describes an electronic device such as a smart phone, game console, router, or tablet computer that owing to a serious misconfiguration, corrupted firmware or a hardware problem, can no longer function. The term derives from the vaguely cuboid shape of many electronic devices (and their detachable power supplies) and the suggestion that the device can only function as a large, heavy object.
As far as i see, this device has stuff installed on it, and i can't figure how he did it.
recommend me a memory error checking app if u know, please!
Flash a safe kernel and flash a new ROM.. Try that and if all works good we´ll continue..

I don't think we can install apps on the SD card yet ):
The OS is unix based, you can create symbolic links in the internal memory to point to the External SD card. These links tell the OS to look in the location you specified whenever something requests that folder, pretty much seamless.
There are other tools that have been developed which automate some of this for you, if you are not comfortable typing in a terminal window.
There is already a thread about this, conclusion is that mattiad is not going to be doing an internal2external mod, been using his mod for years and I asked him, told me that without the device in his hands (probably donated as he isn't going to be buying it) it isn't going to be happening, mount points and code are different from the s3 apparently.
I've personally been using folder mount, it's a paid app but allows you to mount the larger games and apps found in android/obb or anywhere from one location to another.
Upped my memory to 5GB from 2GB, I've got about 4 large games and around 100 apps installed so it does work.

Root will happen and there will always be a way around things, the problem Z1 users are facing is a lack of dev's to accomplish these things. Just compare the note 3 forum with this one, huge difference.
The camera bug has obviously played a part in this but it's causing irreparable damage to the Z1 community and has probably put off some dev's we could sorely do with.
Hopefully it'll change withe new releases but as time goes on i'm losing faith to be honest.

Wearing very thin my friend
Hi All, newb here, please forgive my question which can probably be answered by searching, but I am having a hard time deciphering a lot of this...
I have a Note 3 that I updated to 4.4.2 yesterday. It has never been rooted.
My biggest gripe is the SD card restrictions - namely the camera unable to save to SD card.
How can I root this phone?
Additionally, if I decide to go ahead with a new ROM, which ones are available and recommended. The 2 things I would like to retain are S-Pen functions and WatchON remote (i have a samsung smart TV and it works beautifully).
Before this I had a SG3 on slimbean, and loved it. When I moved to the Note 3, I was overall very happy and didn't have a desire to root after installing Nova Launcher.
Thanks!

unfortunately mine won't save to card. It's always been set to "card" but now when i snap a pic, it tells me it can't save to card and it has switched it to device for me.
This is a known issue with 4.4.2 and the only fixes are inserting some new code... which requires root. So I'm wondering how to root.... some say it can be done, other say it can't.....

Sorry to hear that Aceniza. After reading your post, I quickly took a picture, then immediately went to the My Files app, and verified that it saved the pic to my sdcard. I hope your not the only one with this issue.

Here's the weird part -
Last night I pulled the battery and reset... it saved to SD card a few times before giving me the error message.
Today I backed up my SD card and pulled it in preparation of a root that may or may not exist....
Upon reinstalling, it is saving to SD card.
I have it pulled again right now. Trying to root via Kingo, although it's reported not working.
Supposedly Chainfire (firechain? i forget) works, however trips the KNOX detector thing.
Cross your fingers!
Kingo is not supported... Oh well.... was worth a shot
