massive ammount of problems on JFS 1.51

getting read to just swich to one of the hero roms at this point but figured before i do i'll see if any of these can be fixed.
This all started right shortly after the 1.51 update
First of all, I've wipped the phone and reinstalled twice now and left the battery out and did formats and tried new SD cards and all that and these are the problems i'm having.
-Camera will not save once finished. It takes the picture but it never saves to the SD card.
-Screen randomly changes orientation by itself when the phone is not moving at all. on a table
-Lots of random crashes
-and the worst. Certain apps will only download 50% of the file size when i download them making them never work, If this happens it's impossible to ever download it. Even after wiping and reloading the phone the same thing happened again. It also happens in updates as well. Killed mybackup pro and i had to go download it off rapidshare because i needed to make backups and the market download would never download properly.
So basically, is there any way to fix all these problems or am i better off just going through everything and flashing to a new rom now.

very strange, never had problems on JF1.5 or 1.51. Have you tried flashing JF1.5? If that's still causing problems I'd try Cyanogens build. Sorry I can't help much, but you've already tried everything I would have suggested

yeah i've posted on a few forums and did everything there. then figured i might as well post here as a last resort.
I did try going back to 1.5 and things worked fine, then went to 1.51 again and everything happened again. I'd like to be running the latest release of any custom rom, and hero looks awesome so i'm thinking that if i can't fix this i'll just go through everything to upgrade to hero

There are no major changes from my JFv1.50 release, except a few new kernel modules.

Hardly anything to update for, but whatever, have fun with hero Don't flash the SPL without the Radio (seems obvious but loads of people are spamming looking for a nonexistent solution to unbrick :< )

yeah i guess. Just me being myself wanting the lastest things. And don't worry i won't do that. been reading all about it for the last few days after i decided to give up on jfs 1.51
thanks!

The Hero build certainly looks nice, but it might take you a while to get used to the slight slowness compared to the non-Rosie builds. Still... very pretty, keeps me mesmerized while I wait for my stuff to load... j/k

I've been using aHome for 5 months, i'm used to lag. lol.

nothing prepares you for Hero lag!!! just kidding, with linux-swap or compcache, its pretty snappy, but not comparable to non-hero builds.

well i'll find out soon enough. If it ends up being really bad then i may just go to some other ROM but i'm really hoping to have hero run good. Unfortountly i just have a normal Micro SD 2GB which has no class distinction so hopefully it'll be alright. If not i may have to go get another 8GB.
When i tried to format the last 8GB to get apps2sd working one program destroyed the card. shows up as 8MB now instead of GB. lol.

use cyns rom. most fastes freshes bestes cupcake ever. even tastes better. and his recovery also.

there is a way to fix that on linux mentioned somewhere here on the forums...
it involves just writing 0's through the card

I too noticed alot of lagging in jf1.51 after moving all apps to sd so I took off Ahome and openhome and it runs alot better. I also need to get a class 6 sd card which will help speed things up. currious...does anyone know if there are limitations on the size of the sd card for G1? I looked on HTC's site and T-mobile's as well it just says micro sd 2.0.

didn't know that. guess i'm gonna have to grab that and try to fix my 8GB
and i thought that the G1 was capped at 8GB but i've seen people say they have 16GB cards so i guess you can go up to 16gb. which i think is the largest they make in micro sd

[Q] modded nexus one: changing from 4gb to 16gb card. what needs to be done?

I just ordered a 16gb class 4 micro SD. my phone is modded to cyan 6 RC2 (might be upgrading to RC3). it has not been activated yet so i have not downloaded any apps besides what is on it from previous owner if any at all besides what comes stock.
my question is what is on the 4gb card that I would need to transfer on to the 16gb or can I just pop in the new 16gb card? is the ROM on it? hidden files?
if there are stuff, how would I transfer it? I figure I would do this before I activate and have stuff on it like apps since it's probably simpler and faster to do while data is minimal on the cards if any at all.
thanks.

Well searching would be a good start. I just answered this on the 19th.

I did try searching using "swap sd card" before I posted my question and your post didn't pop up and any other posts that would helped me answer my question.
I've been on many different types of forums before and I definitely know to search before I post and potentially get flamed. I guess I just had the wrong key words....who knows....
thanks again though.

Build dates affected by the internal sd card issue on Bell i9000M?

Hi all...
Im sure this has been covered somewhere b4 but I cannot find the info.
Does anyone know what build dates of the Bell i9000M are effected by the bad internal sd cards?
Ive been into the coded menu titled "internal version" and my build date seems to be Aug. 10th 2010 or something like that.
I have not yet had any bad experience but i also have never flashed unofficial firmwares or applied lagfix of anykind soim wondering if my phone is safe from this issue or just not been used / stressed enough to have issues.
If anyone knows this please advise.
@allgamer... You seem pretty up to speed on this. Do you know?

It has been shown in the stickied i9000m poll thread in the general section that the issue is completly random. Some have build dates from late sept, while others go all the way back to late july and everywhere in between....

i agree with Electroz
from my point of view it all comes down to usage (regular wear & tear) of the flash disks
i'm a very heavy user myself, i test every App i come across with and i keep installing/uninstalling stuff a lot yet i don't see the internal SD card issues people have posted about
on a recent fresh topic, a normal guy did not even Root the phone
had quite obviously a perfect case of dying internal SD
he was getting errors reading from the internal SD from the regular apps like gallery / astro / etc

Ya... I saw that topic as well so I am assuming that he is unfortuantely the perfect example of a Bell i9000M with an internal sd card issue.
I have never had any issues of anykind either (I dont use my phone as heavily as you though allgamer) and I hope I never have an issue but if I do I guess atleast I have the 1 year Manufacturers Warranty as well as the $7.00 per month extended Warranty that I pay for to have my phone fixed or replaced.
Im glad I diddnt cancel that option when I upgraded from my Omnia i910 to my SGS!!!
Thanks for the clarification gentlemen!!! Much appreciated!!!

speaking of an i8910 i have one of those and a regulary i9000 non M version sitting around if anyone is interested in one.

@lgkhan...
Tell me more about the i9000 u have. How much for it? Unlocked etc???

[Q] Which lag fix uses the EXTERNAL SD card?

[Q] Which lag fix uses the EXTERNAL SD card?
with so many choices for lag fixes
i kinda lost track which project was the one that was doing the symlink and copying data to the EXTERNAL SD card.
External SD cards can easily be replaced if dead
Internal SD card is a pain in the back when it dies
at the same time this is a perfect scenario for SD cards performance test for Class 2, Class 4, Class 6+ speed tests
Class 8 and Class 10 are not widely available yet for microSD format.
if some one remember the Dev topic please link it
thanks

no body is using this lag fix?

not anymore, seems like no one cares that the lag fixes writes to the internal SD instead of the external SD

I remember using it before. it's called mimocan or something. went through a lot of trouble to format my card into ext4.

There was something on modacco about it I recall... maybe Paul did it

yeah that! paul madacco!

I can't recall the name either but in the last 2 months we've moved on from external fixes as it was annoying to create the external partition, Also speed wise it wasn't a good fix.

There is the old mimocan lag fix:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=724251
and also this new attempt using JFS FS on the external card:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=812836
Modaco lag-fix was using the oneNAND fast memory. But it is internal and also is "limited" in size. ~130MB available only.

thanks i am using the internal modacco fix i guess. no problems with it.. but again limited in size although i have about 100 apps installed and still have 78 meg free. so probably could go over 200 as long as you dont have huge apps like certain games..
it seems like it is a lot less hard on the internal sd.. and maybe that is why it makes more sense to use this or one that does use the external sd for the i9000m specificially which is touchy with the internal sd card.

that's exactly my goal
since it's a known issue, it'll be better off playing with External SD, as they can be easily replaced if dead
you can also keep upgrading to newer faster models of SD cards

16gb being "seen" by MIUI as FIVE gb - HELP !!!!

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
Here is the link for the sd mod.

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.

He is using MIUI ROM
Miui only uses the internel sd card ~~

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.
