Anyone using a large car in their s740?
I copied the contents of my 2GB card to a 16GB one, and the phone only recognises it as being 2GB still.
Is there any way of formatting the storage card using the phone?
Or is there a compatibility problem with 16GB cards?
I use a 8 GB card in the Rose and it works well....you hat to format the Storage with FAT 32!
No problem with 16GB on s743. Yes, format FAT 32
I've found the answer to my card problem- yesterday some kind soul went to the effort of sending me this message:
I noticed that you purchased a 'private item' from seller xoldskool. This most likely means you purchased some flash device (drive, card, mp3 player). I purchased several 32GB SDHC cards on ebay and discovered that all were fakes. Mine were actually 2GB or 4GB cards that were hacked to appear as 32GB. My computer reports them as having 32GB, but they really do not. The problem with this is that data will become corrupt and lost.
ALL flash media devices are suspect. Please test your device with the free program H2testw v1.4. Search for and download it.
There is information about this problem at SOSFakeFlash. Again, just search for it.
If yours is a fake give them negative followup to warn other buyers.
I opened a Paypal dispute to get a full refund and notified ebay.
I hope this is helpful to you and you don't lose any data.
Regards,
Annoying that I've been scammed, very glad to the guy who went to the effort of telling me!
Got my SGS2 one day ago and I am pretty sure i will be asking for a replacement tomorrow.
BACK KEY does not respond properly. I need to insist sometimes touching it over 20 times before it can notice it. The touch screen and the button on the left work perfectly.
I also found that the metal strip over the SIM card slot had fingerprints on it, which i think should not be the case since workers at the factory use gloves.
Another detail. Even though the box of the phone was sealed, the girl at the shop insisted on open it to make sure everything was in...
I am buying from the biggest mobile phone retailer in my country. I will be reporting further later on. I am afraid this is gonna be a long story for me .
who did you buy it off? make sure you get a replacement off samsung.

I will try to get more evidence of their wrongdoing, when things are more clear then I will say out the name of the retailer to alert other consumers
The problem is that the Back Key responds fine during long periods. I have not yet found the circumstances that trigger the unresponsiveness.
So this is gonna be tricky to show at the shop, if I m lucky they will see immediately.
But, I keep on wondering whether it is acceptable or not that the phone had fingerprints in the SIM card slot.
The seal say "do not accept if seal is broken". it was not broken, because it was put there by the retailer

A "big retailer" has no business in providing dodgy second-hand phones.
At worst it's likely you got a phone someone had opened and tinkered with in the shop. Beyond that, the assistant could even have picked up a device which was returned by someone and by mistake assumed it was a new phone.
I also had an issue where I didn't have the microSD card in the box. Now, considering the box is sealed with the black security sticker, it would be pretty hard to get the microSD card out. I didn't check the security sticker because I was too desperate to get the phone out and start using it.
You don't have distance selling rights in this case so you have a hard task ahead of you - because you could have just returned it within 14 days had you bought it online or over the phone, now it's just your word against the retailers.
It seems that the issue comes after the screen has been on for a while. Initially i thought it only came when using the camera, or in settings, but I just now it's happened when i was browsing sms.
This is the 1st time I use samsung or Android. Is this kind of thing common?
I have contacted Samsung... the girls told me to go back to the shop (because i got the phone only 2 days ago) and that it is not normal that the phone had fingerprints in the sim card slot.

Totally correct. If you only just got it and it doesn't work, take it back to the shop and just be polite but firm. They have to replace it if you say there's a fault.
Thanks all for ur replies
Because I have never used Android before I was thinking that maybe the Back Key has a different behavior than the left key in order to prevent accidental touch.
Otherwise the phone is fine. It has the infamous yellowish left side defect, but I can live with it.
At the operator, i was told that it is common practice to open the box to check everything is in, at least for this retailer... is it really common that factory workers forget to put all the stuff in
I keep on testing and getting mad at this, before going to the shop

Micro SD card supplied with the GS2?

That's down to the supplier. That's why you'll get a phone from provider A with a 8GB card, or from provider B with a 16GB card (for example).

Oh I see, Thought I had been short changed as I didn't get a micro sd with mine from O2
I have since bought a 16gb class 10 but to be honest I am not sure that it is being used as everything goes on to the internal sd storage with plenty of space to spare.

Yeah, I used to think it was down to the manufacturer, but when I got the HD2 I got a sleeve with it, but lots of people on xda were a bit miffed because they didn't have one. Also, SD cards ranged from 2GB to 16GB (possibly 32GB - can't remember), depending on who you got it from.
I didn't get an SD card with my SGS2 either, so I just sold my HD2 with the 2GB one that I got with it and kept the 16GB one for myself.
Mwah-ah-ah-ahhhh!

Would a supplier open the phone for inserting a SIM card?
This one came without microsd. I asked the girl if the phone come with one while she was inspecting the box, and because she did not know she was going to open the phone, but i told her I preferred to check by myself.

Just back from the shop. Their attention was excellent. The phone will be replaced as soon as they get more units.
The thing is that 2.5 weeks ago they told me sgs2 are sold out. 10 days ago in another shop of the same retailer I paid for one to pick up 10 days later (i thought because they were waiting for the new batch). But the supply of sgs2 has not yet arrived. So the phone was one of the last sgs2 they had in the whole city. This usually means more probability that the phone has some problem.
The guy at the shop told me that it is not normal that the phone had fingerprints.
Frankly, i thought this would be much more troublesome and i am now convinced that this retailer is not doing things wrong. I think I will change the name of the thread if possible to something like"when u dont get what u expected from a big retailer".
My suspicions are the product of one bad experience with their technical support. Also, I am paranoid ever since I was offered an 8gb Nokia N8 from a operator (never seen other than 16gb).
Hopefully the next batch will also come with amoled screens and samsung's renderer chip.
Try this next time if it happens again...
*#*#2663#*#*
then update the firmware (Bottom button)
But I did both anyway..

This code doesn't work on my phone
UPDATE
No one knows when the next batch of sgs2 will come to this EU city where they are sold out since few weeks ago.
In the meanwhile I have been using the phone and for few days I thought the problem was gone as the back key was working fine (responding as well as the left key), but then I charged the phone and for first time used it while charging. Very soon after plugging the charger, the back key was almost not responding at all.
If unresponsiveness only happened during the first minutes of the charging process, I could take it. However I first noticed the issue while in normal use.
Lately my screen is taking nearly 90% of the battery consumption (just browsing use), which could explain why the issue did not appear. But now I have just found a way to copy files to the internal card of the phone and I will be testing with hr movies.
I doubt it is just a problem on my phone, so I would appreciate that someone reports how does his back key respond during the first minutes of the charging process
Thanks
I was wondering if anyone has had an issue with their micro sd card slot not locking in cards. When I push the card in it clicks but just pops right back out. This is also a new phone sent from Verizon seeing as data stopped working on my old one.
I'm probably just going to end up taking it to a Verizon store and see if I can get another replacement, was just seeing if anyone has seen this issue and knew of an easy way to fix it.
So, this may be helpful with others that have had issues with Samsung, or other Android Phones and Sandisk microSD 64BG cards.
short version: if you have an issue go to support.sandisk.com and they will approve an RMA. If you want the details keep reading:
I got a 64GB microSD and tried to move the files from my PC to the card via the card reader and SDCard adapter.
I have an ATT SGSIII and a Samsung Galaxy S 4.
About half-way through I get "An unexpected error is keeping you from copying the file. If you continue to receive this error, you can use the error code to search for help with this problem."
Error 0x80070570: The file or directory is corrupted and unreadable.
[Description of file.mp4]
I searched high and low and found many users with this issue.
Many formatted as FAT and that worked, so, I tried that to no avail. Same error.
I tried low level format, recreating the card as FAT32, making it an active partition, 32KB, etc. Same error.
I tried formatting as exFAT in the phone and then transferring. No luck.
I tried non-windows copy utilites (Teracopy and FastCopy) that did transfer the files successfully, but when I put the card in the phone it said "Damaged SD Card"
So, I found this little nugget on Google:
"SanDisk has been made aware of potential product issues involving a very small percentage of its 32GB and 64GB SanDisk Mobile Ultra microSD cards. Under certain circumstances the cards may lock up and the card becomes inaccessible. The issue has been identified and a manufacturing fix has already been put in place. SanDisk stands behind its products and any customer who experiences this issue with the microSD cards cards is asked to contact the SanDisk support center for a resolution immediately."-SanDisk
I filled out a support request and they sent me back

Thank you. I was searching allllll over the internet for answers to quell the unfortunate realization that my card was finished. I just came off the phone with Sandisk and I will be sent a replacement card as soon as I send my defected one. Again, Thank you for this, though I most likely would have contacted Sandisk with my problem, finding this post made the process faster, helping me avoid wasting my time.
well, old topic but still, I have the same problem with my SanDisk Ultra 64GB card and because I am the second owner the warranty does not apply to me according to SanDisk, very strange imo...
here is the latest answer from them:
"The reason SanDisk warranty does not apply to products purchased used/refurbished is because as the product was previously used we cannot guarantee its condition and its proper functionality, we are not aware of what has transpired from date of purchase until the date you received it.
This is why the warranty applies only to products purchased first hand in full sealed retail package.
We understand this might seem frustrating and we are sorry you feel the provided support is not up to your expectations however when a product is previously used, we cannot know if the issue is indeed a defect or the previous owner used the product in a non-supported or non-intended way."
Where does the sd card go that the promotion will be giving to users for the v10? I've taken the back cover off and I can't figure out where the card would go. Is it something I'm not seeing?
Slides in right above (on top) the SIM card. It's like a dual slot card receiver.
I swear, I wasn't being stupid

I figured this was it, but honestly, there was nothing and nowhere where I could find any information. Even on the LG site, there's nowhere to download the manual. I am at work and didn't know if it was actually in the manual as to where to insert the SD card.
Thanks.
Yeah the only indicator is the little SD / sim logo with above it.
