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.

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?
Sent from my GT-I9000M using XDA App
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???

Not a fan of mobile gaming, but purchased this today as it looks awesome for a phone, though after downloading, damn thing downloads again, taking ages, some reported it taking half an hour, and it causes error at 13% on my phone constantly, so I opened this thread to see if anybody can help on troubleshooting, so far, I've deleted the app in the SD card, un-installed and have started it again.
Got it to work, was low on memory on SD card.

Tried it for a bit and runs perfectly on the desire hd. Problem is there isn't a demo so its all or nothing. Its a 7mb download but then need another couple of hundred after you download it. Which will take a while over 3g killing any chances of a refund!

I'm using Sense, ROM: Revolution HD, it's working perfectly, I'm enjoying this game, very addictive, onlines pretty good, but disconnects at time, can get annoying, nevertheless, very good game. It's a strategy/RPG, you will not be unhappy, especially at that price.

Make sure you have plenty of space on your memory card, for some odd reason it gives error, just keep relaunching it and it continues from where it stops.
wow looks pretty awesome actually. Might have to buy that

Looks like you can increase the speed of your SD card by modifying the cache size.
Here's a guide,

Hope someone finds it useful but I wonder if this will make the SD faster.

Hope someone finds it useful but I wonder if this will make the SD wear out faster.

I think it won't make the sd card faster.
I installed the sd tool and sd increase apps. Changing to 2048k did speed up reads but the change is not persistent i.e. you have to re-apply with the app after every boot...
Might apply the update zip though because it is noticeably quicker.

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.

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.
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!

I just upgraded to 4.4 and I'm able to take pictures and they save to my SD with no problem. I went into the setting and I have the choice of saving to the "Device" or "Card".

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
