Hi there,
I've installed CM7 on a 4GB SanDisk Ultra internal SD on my Streak.
Occasionally, after a reboot or shutdown > boot I lose time settings (defaults to 2010)
Has anyone seen this, or know why it happens?
Thanks!
most probably the internal battery is dead...
workaround:
goto > settings > date & time
and make sure automatic is enabled...
that way your phone time will always sync with your telco provider...
It has an internal battery? Where is it? I may have knocked it while changing the internal SD.
Note though, that the normal battery is always inserted.. so it should have that to keep the time.
Automatic is set, but it doesn't sync.

i dont think you would knock the internal battery by accident...
the battery is really near the internal sd card, it looks like a metal button...
if the main battery is at 0% and dont charge, eventually the internal battery also would discharged also... i also had the time when the date is back to 2010...
and all i have to do is just reboot the phone and my telco will adjust it automatically...
Well I did have it in bits when I changed the internal SD, I should probably check it.

Edit: Can you indicate where it is on this image?

lol.. you look at the surrounding area of the internal sd card and see if there any metal button look alike...
if the insertion of the internal sd card considered as bottom, then the internal battery is located at the upper left of the insertion...
that is the internal battery...
Oh that thing!!
I will see if I can check it for damage.

Does it use extra battery to play music from the external sd card as opposed to playing it from the internal memory of the phone? I've heard this from several places and I want to see if anybody can confirm.
Other than that are there any differences between the two?
Never noticed a battery drain from it. I regularly go with and without an sdcard in my phone. Sdcards are fairly low power.
It'd be good to see some numbers on power draw for sdcards.

It does use more power to have an external SD installed (whether you do IO to it or not, it draws some power), and even more to do IO. But the amount of additional power is negligible.
Flash (=SD Card) uses more power when writing than reading.
The external Flash uses no more power (or about equal, it depends some on the specific Flash chip type) than the internal Flash, though. So if you're playing music from one or the other, provided you're not doing a bunch of other stuff at the same time, it's close to a wash and certainly not enough to worry about. Click the volume down one or two clicks and you're likely saving more power than the Flash chips are drawing...
Good to know

I just got a 32gb SDXC card for the dock and it works great. However, when i put shows on the card they stay on the card and i can play them no problem from my prime. But the next day when i access my SD card 1/2 the shows are gone? not all of them and the ones left are not corrupt.
Could this be a card issue or hardware issue?
i noticed that the prime only reads the card when the tablet is not sleeping and on. This means it disconnects otherwise. So if its in the process of reading the card or adjusting something on it, and i shut my prime or put it to sleep, it might cause data loss. That is my theory. but it is probably just a bad cad and needs to be exchanged lol.
I have wondered about this also. With the microSD card before you remove it you ate supposed to unmount it first. So I figure the regular SD card is also mounted to the tablet and not the dock so when you undock the tablet you are not properly unmounting. Is this correct or is there something else at play here? Maybe you are supposed to shut off the screen first before undock based on your finding its only mounted when screen is on?

when the sd is in the dock, and the tablet is docked, the sd is mounted directly to tablet. there is a notification that allows you to safely unmount it for removal, which i do EVERY time i take the dock off. i dont know if this is the problem OP is having, just trying to shed some light for ya
The thing is I haven't removed my prime from my dock in a few days. I am mainly asking about turning the screen off. Because every time i wake my tablet I see "preparing storage" or something like that. That means it was unmounted

ooooh i see what you mean, when i woke up today, i noticed mine did the same thing! thats really weird... i assumed it was always connected. we all know what happens when you assume...
i wonder if there is a mod that can be done to force a constant connection through sleep? wifi stays connected, and so does my micro sd, so i know things can still maintain connection while in deep sleep

I hope so because i do not want to use the sd card until i know i will not lose any more data.i will put a whole bunch of txt and videos on the card and see if it holds onto the data and let you know what happens.

good idea! id do it, but i killed my primes battery lol guess ill have to try tomorrow
I guess it unmounts it because of the dock's sleep mode.
Deactivate the dock powersaving mode in the settings and see if it still happens.
You don't have another card to try?

Was thinking the same thing...this sounds more like a problem with the card than the TFP.

That most likely is the truth. But ill experiment to see if its the card. I want to hurry so I can return the card if it is defective.

ive yet to lose anything, dood. im thinking its the card. if i remember right, there really isnt much danger in unmounting an sd card as long as the device it was connected was not actively accessing it at the time of dismount. or this may just be my stupids talking.
Just FYI, I have found that the USB and SD are not hot swappable with mine, I am sure it is a driver thing, but if I want the Prime to see them after I plug them in I have to reboot.
Hey all,
There doesnt appear to be a topic specifically on this(I have searched) so I have to ask.
Does this cripple the phone for you?
My personal situation:
Have an x10i
Long time SE user
Planning on upgrading in the next month
The two cons with this phone for me are the lack of an SD slot, and the battery. With google music and the like I can totally deal with the SD failing. But the battery, its got me totally conflicted. Ruining a dream phone. I've had several SE phones and their programming isnt great. Even just the other day my X10 crashed twice and I had to pull the battery. This is what worries me.
Thoughts?

No and no
The phone has built in reset button combinations (hard-coded so will always work). I don't see other than that, why the battery thing is a problem Unless you plan on keeping the phone for a very long time (read: to the point where the battery cant hold a charge) it's not worth losing sleep over. There's a few threads on how to remove the battery I believe as well, and by then your warranty will be up anyways, so who cares if you unscrew the back .
The no SD thing is also not a problem with the amount of internal memory available + USB OTG support

Ah jaysis, there were big rants about this on another forum and there was ZERO mention of the fact that it had a hardcoded reset.
*waits for burfday cash so he can run to the shop*
Thanks.
@Mods: feel free to close.

1st. The 32gb seams to do me at mo (may not be good for app hoarders) at the end of day the battery will die before watch 1 season of (e.g family guy) or half way through 1 good space hungry sd using game, so why do you need it full up. 2nd. Batt is not a problem unless you carry spares around with you. Hard reset = (power button and vol up) works same as pulling the batt out. this was my same worrie when read about it myself at first.
well, i forced a bootloop to test the "hard shutdown" and it works
Think about the HTC X devices, they are only coming with 16gb and dropbox as backup.

That's the one s. The one x has 32gb, just like xperia s.
About the sd card slot. I really don't miss it. 32gb is more than enough memory for me. In my old phone (htc desire) I had a 32gb sd card and never took it out of the phone. If you need some removeable memory for whatever reason usb on the go will do, but I doubt I will ever need it.
The the battery. Well running around with spares is not something I ever did. I usually just bring a charger or usb cable if I'm away from home for a while. If you are in places where you have no access to power, you could allways buy an external charger. That would basically do the same job as extra batteries. If you're worried the battery may wear out over time: it is removeable if you unscrew the back. So It can be replaced if needed.

Yes, the X has 32, same as us. Given how much stuff I have installed I would think I would have less space, my 4S was a 32gb and it was mostly full with half the apps and a few more pics and videos.
+1 about the charger, I have some old Nokia N882/N95 micro USB cables that I use as backup and might even buy:

as a backup battery option.
Hi, a week ago i bought new phone. Huawei Ascend G300. Everything was fine for a week but yesterday suddenly the phone freeze and i had to pull out the battery. After switching the phone on a screen for factory reset appears. Four lines of errors come up and the phone self formated itself. (error reading data, reading cache etc..). So i set it up again but it happens again today...First it was while i play modern combat 2. Second time when i was just scrolling thorough screens. Anyone know what can do this or how to solve it? (already formated SD card and phone manualy - will see what happens).
Anyway heres hprof error file which was generates after the crash and self format. Please someone who can read it and analyze, can you tell me whats causing it?
Thnx
Anyone?
I can't help, but I've had the same issue (twice yesterday!) myself.
In my case, the common factors to both hard resets seemed to be:
1. I was using Google Navigation (actively in one case, and in the background in the other)
2. The phone was connected to a BT hands free device in the car
3. The phone was charging (via car charger)
Those factors may or may not be relevant, of course. I have had the phone for just under a week, and all my data is on a 16GB SanDisc MicroSD card.
My phone is unlocked, and I was using a Three UK SIM.
In the first case, the Navigation screen went blank and the phone was unresponsive and required a battery pull, after which it simply behaved like a new phone or one which had been deliberately wiped using the Factory data reset option. (I didn't see any errors when I started it up - I *think* I was watching it all the tone, but I can't be sure).
The second time (having just about recovered all my widgets, phone settings, etc.), I was listening to a podcast. The progress bar on the screen reset to zero (so presumably it had time to react to whatever the underlying issue was) and then became unresponsive and required a battery pull. This time when I restarted it, I got something like 6-8 lines of yellow errors on the boot screen (which I wasn't in a position to make a note of) and we were back to the initial startup screen.
I shall be returning it to Vodafone as unfit for (my) purpose / faulty.

I send it to service and today I'll get it back. This problem is caused by faulty motherboard. Huawei stated that if you have this issue, immediately go and change your phone for a new one.

My droid razr maxx will not charge anymore. Looking at where the cord plugs into the phone. I can see that it looks as if one of the contact leads on the end has worn down and is kind of rounded off. Now, being that i cant charge it. Verizon sent me a new used replacement. Which seems to work fine. However, None of the pictures and downloads that i thought i had moved to my 16GB SD card when on the old phone are in fact, not on my SD card. My pictures and downloads are now stuck on what they call "Internal Memory" because i cant charge my phone.
So now my questions are; #1 Is there any way to possibly remove the battery so i can get a charge on it another way? And, #2 How do i set my default saving of data to be put on my SD card. And not in the "Internal Memory"? So i can prevent losing everything again...
Thanks in advance...,
