So I rooted my Sprint Epic, changed the file system to EXT4 and installed Bonzai4All 2.0.1
It all runs like butter and I get benchmarks around 2000. Nice.
For some reason the external SD card was not recongnized the first couple of times after the install, so I assumed it also formatted the card EXT4, but now (after a couple of times snapping it back in and out) I see the SD card recognized in windows again...
I'm assuming this disk format change is only to the internal memory?
Sorry if this seems like an obvious question.
Your sdcard isn't ext4. You can still transferee with no limitations

So what's the best way to interact with the new EXT4 file system in windows? I need to transfer files constantly to my phone and I would like to write to it.
I'm guessing this issue will start to become more widespread once the Nexus S and other EXT4 phones start to hit the market and users can't access data. At which point we can only hope someone out there would have to make a product that fills that void.
A current solution would be nice though.
Any ideas?

Not sure I am understanding the issue here. The phone mounts under windows exactly the same way it did with RFS. Just plug it in, select the right button in the pop up window on the phone and it shows up as a drive in windows. Copy over whatever you want, unmount it (from the phone) and your set. Am I missing something?
is usb debugging on? i have to turn mine off to get it to connect for file transfers
The issue was that the first couple of times my sd card interacted with my computer, either through the phone or directly plugged, it would not read. At all.
That's when my question was written...
At this point the sd card is recognized with no problem, so it all made sense when that happened.
Thanks so much for helping.
I recently ran into a problem when I was trying to transfer 13GB of Music to my EVO running MIUI. I had the phone hooked via USB cable to my laptop and was only seeing about 800k/s in transfer speeds on a class 4 micro sd card. Eff that I say.
So I did some digging and this seems to be a known issue with AOSP roms with no real fix.
There are a couple work arounds though.
1. Turn off the phone and pull the card to transfer directly.. this sucks.
2. Reboot into recovery mode and mount the sd card. This still sucks.
3. (This is what I did) Install "Dual Mount SD" from the market. I think there's a similar version that's free but the reviews weren't that great. This will allow your phone keep the sdcard mounted in Android and allow your computer to mount it too. The app has a setting that will force Android to rescan the card when you unmount from the computer. This work around get's me back up to the expected 3.8Mb/s transfer on the micro sd card.
Hope this helps someone else out there.
Its the version of Linux they use for the kernels which causes the issue. I'm not sure which kernel doesn't do this (I want to say it was savaged-zen) not possitive but with that kernel the speed vamp up to what you would expect.
It could be any kernel but I have only used savaged-zen, tiamat, and godmode. So one of those is the key to faster transfer speed. Figured I throw that out there, goes with your post

I'm running tiamat 4.0.8 and still see the issue.
I'm using GoDm0dE and have pretty fast data transfers don't remember the speeds from my last backup but 7gb only took about 3mins or so to transfer
Edit: I'm gonna be backing up my card later tonight or tomorrow so I will note my xfer speeds and post em here when I'm done
Running tiamat and seeing this getting about 1.1 mb a second which really is bs
I had this problem also..A while back I ran into a topic where someone found a fix on the cyanogen bug tracker or something.
I really can't remember but I can tell you flashing these two files worked for me on every cm7 variant I ran. I didn't notice any bad effects and have no idea what it changes but it works.

You guys can also try using a micro SD adapter

Yeah because turning your phone off then opening it then removing the battery then removing the SD card then putting it in an adapter then transferring then all that in reverse is faster than 1.1 mbs lol

Hi, do you know if this would work with Deck's 1.3 [2.3.7]? I'm having terrible speeds, my only "fix" thus far was rebooting into recovery and mounting usb from there. That gives me around 2x the speed.
TIA
need your advice on this, I've just unbox my Galaxy Note few days ago, it keeps rebooting itself, one time I was copying data from the SD card to the other storage in the phone suddenly it reboots. I've had unknown reboots. Now using XXLA4 and seems doesnt solve the issue. Any ideas or suggestions?
Make sure all your applications are licated on internal SD

1 Does it happen after you load your applications or on a clean Rom as well? Could be a app that's causing it.
2 the xla 4 install could have been a bad flash. Did you check the MD 5?

so now at the moment my note is in constant reboot mode, don't know if I should let it, I haven't root my devices yet I tried every method available on this homepage but doesnt seem to work at all. I tried installing some games on my note this morning, it failed to download and ever since that it reboots all the time. Any suggestion?
Edit: Now it stops rebooting when I plugged in the USB charger but it says the temperature of the battery is too low or too high and it doesn't charged

welcome to the club, i am in the same boat.
my phone works fine all times without sd card but sometimes goes crazy (restaring / freezing constantly for 7-8h non stop!) with sd card in situ.
some of my apps are on internal 1.9gb memory, some on internal 11gb memory, some on external card. trying to figure out how to force on stock unrooted device to force all apps to internal memory (1.9gb or 11gb) to prevent these issues. or will try new card. my old card works fine on my htc desire. dont know if the htc folders present on sd card are causing soem issues
have tried with apps2sd pro and stock app mnager to move apps to internal 11gb memory. but the phone has a mind of its own and some stay on 1.9gb internal memory some go to 11gb internal memory and some go to external sd card and i cant seem to force moveable apps to internal 11gb memory only instead of sd card as mentioned in the other concurrent thread today on this topic.
Hi,
I also had similar problem like this. It appears that the Android Program at times cannot seem to access the Ext SD card program/s installed and that will cause a reboot and repeated so.
I really do not why this is happening? It will seem to work fine ant reboot when the Ext SD is removed - but those programs installed in the Ext. SD will no longer be accessible.
There is a hidden folder in the Ext. SD ".android_secure" which contain all the programs transferred to that Ext. SD. If you empty this folder of it programs by transferring them to your PC and reinsert the Ext. SD card, it will function normally and you can access your file like photos, videos, music, and ebooks. But you will not be able to access your programs in the Ext. SD.
I had tried un-installing the apps in the Ext SD and re-installing them into Phone memory it will work but it will not transfer to Int. SD (the 11 GB) and keep informing me there is no Ext SD. This of course will eat up all the 1.9 GB of the Phone memory, which is not what I had wanted. Although I still have a lot of memory in the Int. SD (about 8 GB) it will not transfer there, why I am not sure.
Can some of the Android expert please look into this problem and advise. Thank you.

Hi,
How do you make sure all the Apps are located in the Internal SD?
I have an Ext SD and some apps are transferred there. I cannot transfer these apps into the Int SD.
I uninstalled the apps and reinstall them without the Ext SD and then try to transfer to Int SD. It will not transfer and a message "you do not have an Ext SD card"
Will appreciate any assistance. Thank you.
I don't have any apps installed on the internal SD nor external SD, I notice this that everytime an app failed to complete (eg loading) it goes to looping reboots. The last one I was playing some game something called mission, cannot remember the game name, it was loading all the time then I decided to switch it off and turn it on again. It goes constant reboot. I need a good phone which doesn't rebooot all the time ...

Do you think this is worth to try? Since I am planning to go to Samsung today and saw some posts that it has possibility an error on the CPU. I have a couple of friends who also have the Note and nobody has the problem like I do ...
Edit: Oh and I did the factory wipe last night too but it still doing the reboots, finally I plug out the battery, plug it again and leave it for a half an hour then it stops rebooting ...

Its seems like you had an issue with leakage current on cpu. Its caused the battery drain fast and heat up. The only solution is to change the main board. Well, this is use to happen on htc phone. Not sure on sammy phone

yeah my phone also used to reboot after some time... the problem i found was the installation of an app called es file explorer... i disabled the app and it works flawlessly...so some of the app on your phone might be causing you the problem...

Well sent the phone back to Samsung, I think this is what happen to me, excited what the result would be from Samsung ..
Good morning XDA, I've come to you this morning because of some ongoing issues with my A500. It all started a few months back when I decided to try out utorrent on my tablet, everything was running smoothly and the speeds were around 1MB/s down so no complaints there. Then suddenly my speeds drop off to almost nothing and nothing I tried short of a reboot fixed it...temporarily. Then I started noticing other things that just didn't make sense such as file downloads from the browser finishing incredibly fast only to find out the file was only partially downloaded. I've also noticed when I transfer files to the external SD or to a USB drive that sometimes the file copy/cut/paste/delete says unsuccessful using ES File Manager. Sometimes the file will transfer incredibly fast but when I look it's only partially transferred, sometimes when a file transfer fails on a copy the source file vanishes from my internal SD. Every so often when I put files on the micro SD and even a USB drive when I put it into my PC to tranfer files that way windows wants me to scan for errors. I notice when my tablet is showing these symptoms it's also quite laggy and it appears to happen after long periods of being on even if it's been asleep most of that time.
I did a factory reset and it seemed to help but only temporarily and I have no idea what's going on. I'm running stock ICS and I am not rooted. It's just strange that I can fix all the symptoms temporarily with a reboot but a few hours later it all comes back and I have to reboot again. Thinking maybe my micro SD was faulty I put all my music on my internal SD via USB but some of my music files have been corrupted with noise and random skipping through the tracks. When I transfer large files or even large amounts of files over USB to my PC it also makes my PC BSOD but that's a whole other can of worms.
Any help would be much appreciated, anything you need from me to help diagnose the problem will be provided, thanks in advance.

New to XDA, not new to Android.
Phone: Moto X Play
Rom: Stock Marshmallow 6.1
Issue: SD Card disappears randomly (formatted as internal storage!!!)
Bootloader never unlocked, never rooted.
I have a sandisk 32gb micro sd card that works when I first start the phone. The problem is that it will randomly, completely, disappear.
Now I'm not, IMO, a complete noob. I am fairly (99%) sure it is indeed the sd card at fault. Ok, not an issue, I can always replace it with a new one.
The issue is, of course, that EVERYTHING is on my SD card, most importantly, my photos.
Even without accessing a file manager (phone idle, browsing web, playing games) the sd card will eventually fail leaving it inaccessible until the phone is restarted. When attempting to access my photos, which is what I need most, it fails MUCH quicker.
Having not used the "Google Photos" app before (just Gallery), I am not at all sure if my photos were ever backed up online, If they were, I'm not sure where to look.
Trying to access them via usb, wifi file transfer, bt tranfer, and even from file managers on the phone itself, result in an almost immediate failure of the sd card. 5 seconds or so tops.
The card is formatted as "Internal Storage" and I have not been able to find a way to get a computer or anything else to read it, and I would imagine for security reasons, there is no way.
Here's the question: Is there any way to get photos off the sd card, that wont take me three million years in 5 second intervals, while having to restart the phone every bleeping time the sd card fails to get it to recognize the sd card again?
Suggestions please!
Thanks in advance,
Canabian

Format the card using computer (Not quick format )
Quick format didn't worked for me.
And don't make card as internal, use it as portable
with the sd card in the phone, go to settings - apps, show system apps. then select External Storage, force stop it or clear it cache. do the same to Media Storage. reboot the phone, once everything loaded wait for 5-10 minutes especially if you have lots of files in a large sd card. once that done, connect the phone to your pc (use mtp if i'm not mistaken) and hopefully you can now access the internal (sd card) contents.

This will HOPEFULLY resolve the issue AFTER I get my photos off the card!
What I need help with is getting roughly 10 gigs of data off a card that works intermittently for roughly 5 seconds at a time....

I will try this and report back.
One question... If the card is formatted as internal storage, clearing data for external storage and media storage will not cause the phone to "forget" the sd card will it?
Thanks,
Canabian.
I think I have come up with a solution to my own problem. If this works satisfactorily, I will let others know as this may help many other people facing this issue.
I am on a linux pc. I am going to try to use RSYNC to copy the files over. This SHOULD copy files over, deleting them from the source folder as it goes. Once the sd card fails, which it WILL, once I reboot the phone and start rsync once again, it should "resume" where it left off.
Here is the command for anyone else that may need it:
rsync -v --progress --remove-source-files --recursive --append-verify /path/to/source/files /path/to/destination/folder
Hopefully this works the way I hope it will. Will post back with my results when I can.
Thanks again,
Canabian.
I had the same problem, and the solution (that maybe someone posted somewhere in the internet) is using a faster SD card. Since I switched to a sandisk extreme pro, the problem disappeared. Be careful, though, when using Samsung SD cards: my moto x play doesn't like them much (I had to replace them twice before buying the sandisk; in some way the partition tables of the Samsung SD cards were damaged, plus they became read-only, resulting in two unusable cards).

which samsung model did you use? I just replaced my normal class 10 strontium card yesterday with a brand new samsung evo plus u1 card and formatted it as internal storage. so far the phone feels a bit snappy with this card.
dude search a little in this section and i hope u find the fix.i just let u know that our device has very sensitive sd pins and many users had accidentally bented them and didn't know the problem!
i hope u are not one of them!so if you are lucky,next time u put the sd be veeeery careful!i personally didn't put it out from the time i bought it...

It was just a Samsung Evo class 10. The strange thing is that I tried also a Sandisk of the same class, which gave me only the "external memory missing" problem, while the Samsung ones became just unusable plastic. But maybe I should try better Samsung SD cards.
