I had the option of dual vs. single and that consideration is what made me decide to go with the single version. The dual sim would be useful once in a while, but not nearly often enough to justify the extra hassle.

For me single Sim version was out of stock, with no clue for how long. So I took the dual.
Regret it because the lack of kernel (though hopefully I can figure out how to build one) but like it because the SD CARD isn't on the SIM tray (meaning I don't have to mess with the SIM to change SD cards)

I took an Dual Sim Variant, because the single one was pretty expensive in my country and why not take dual sim for free?
Only Reason went for the Z5 Dual was because the standard Z5 was not being sold from where i bought it
Count me in. Dual Gold since December. Trying hard living without root.
Can't understand why the dual runs a different setup to the single. It strikes me that it would have made more sense for Sony to develop their setup for dual radios by default, with a switch to turn off handlers for the second radio in the single SIM model. I assumed I'd be able to find root, but it's not happening.
They must sell tens of thousands of these in the east, no-one there wants root? Seriously?

Different drivers for the SD card slot. You can use at least some single Sim kernels, with the loss of the SD card.
Having unused drivers can slowdown the phone, so Sony seems to be trying to ensure the best user experience by keeping unused drivers out of the kernel.

What's different about the SD card? From looking at videos it seems to be in the same location even.

It's moved off the SIM card tray (to make room for the second SIM card). So the SIM reader and the SD card reader both have to be different.

Fair enough, I thought the sim card tray was just expanded in the single sim version. The flaps look the same size.
In hindsight, I still don't get how the SD card is relevant. An SD card driver is an SD card driver, the location of the card should be irrelevant. Ditto a radio driver.
The only thing that would be different programmatically would be the handlers for the 2nd SIM, which requires some UI and logic changes for call and SMS handling. Again though, these would be programmatic. And not all that significant. Creating a whole separate firmware for it still seems a bit mad to me.
I have to wonder if it's just Sony trying to frustrate outside development.
I have xperia z5 e 6683 since November.
Battery is worse than xperia z3 d6683 also dual sim.

SD card support hinges on Google. Honeycomb doesn't support external storage yet. This is a Google issue, not a Motorola issue.
That is what I have heard...
And you don't think Google and Motorola have discussed this? Come on now, someone knows the answer. My concern is Honeycomb starts to support SD, then the Xoom does not (I do not care why), we are left with a lame duck holding our junk and crying about an 800$ loss.
I'm sure that Toshiba would also be pretty upset if Google decides not to support external storage. They're including an SD card slot in their tablet as well. I'm not sure about all of the others, but there are two manufacturers counting on SD card support.

Well, then don't be concerned: there's absolutely no reason why Honeycomb would support SD and the Xoom wouldn't. Zero. Zilch. Nada.
The Xoom is being treated as a google expeirance device which puts in the same league of updates as the G1, the Nexus 1, the OG Droid, and the Nexus S. It will get it so stop worrying. This is also the reason for the unlocked boot loader. Now as for when thats a whole other story but the more devices that ship with Honeycomb the better because that will put pressure on google to get the update out.
this might be odd, but what the heck makes it so hard to have SD support in the first place, you would think that this would be one the main functions of the software. I mean, its not like SD cards are new, and not like a million other devices that are running android (not 3.0 but older versions) have SD support. i mean, this confuses me in the first place.

I think the problem isn't that honeycomb doesn't support sdcards so much a it doesn't support two. The internal memory is being seen as an sdcard.

I'm not sure about the Captivate, but on the Xoom the /data and /sdcard mount points both point to the same logical partition on the internal storage. In most phones, /data has its own partition on the internal storage, and /sdcard is mounted from your sd card slot.
well.. not to argue the point, witch is completely valid, I still do not understand why that was not something that could have been added at the get go.
it just seems simple, as it would require a driver, an just a point in the script to mount it.
Flash, I can see why the issue, new hardware and stuff.
anyways, cant wait to get some SD action, would love to toss some movies on this thing!. (err.. more movies)
the comments on the sd card slot being activated with the 4g is all bs right? Cause I'm getting the wifi one and obviously I'm not sending it in for 4g.
It's a software (honeycomb) thing. It will be enabled with an update. which im sure will be OTA or at least available on XDA

Yeah, I'm almost 100% sure they pulled that out of their ass, and was confusing the LTE SIM card slot (which is usuaily ultimately attached to a serial port, no special hardware required) with the SD Card slot.
They were probably just hoping it would all get worked out around the same time as the 4G updates.
This is on the Wifi Model listing:
Memory expansion via microSD card slot with support for optional cards up to 32 GB (functionality requires future software upgrade)

Do you really think Google created a brand new Android OS that should be around for years to come that will not support SD cards? And on top of that, do you think Motorola working with Google would put an SD slot in the xoom and never activate it?
Really, come on...
Source is available, if for some dumb reason Google doesn't want to support an SD card, motorola can do it themselves.

the original DFT release is fine if your SD card is compatible (SD compatibility is the same for all releases.)
everything else on here is based of DFT with a few exceptions, largely around unlocking the device for you.
xboxmod is pretty stable, but as mentioned above, if your SD card isnt compatable, then you will have issues with most ROMs. there is a thread on compatable SD cards, although there is no official WP7 compatable memory card

ignore anything in that thread about compatible cards, its all meaningless, get a class 2 or 4 card and keep your fingers crossed, as it stands, maunfactures do not produce cards for the public to a spec needed for WP7, its completely unknown.
you could have two identical cards with the same model number and one may not work, luck im affraid, is whats needed.

yes there is. Sandisk has official wp7 branded SD-cards, but they are expensive. Otherwise its all about luck. I'm on a sandisk class 2 16GB bought off ebay, and it works like a charm. Others might not be so lucky with the same type of card. So, if you really want to be sure it will work, get a wp7 branded card.

ah yes the cards that no one can buy, unless you happen to be in an AT&T store
correct me if im wrong but i couldnt find a store selling them to the public, there is lots of FUD on the net about them but the actual products dont appear to be anywhre, i did only spend 5 min looking so perhaps they are about.
The question is, will OEMS make a brand of cards that will only have a very very minimal uptake in sales, after all, most WP7 devices have or are supposed to have, non removable cards.
Not saying its not going to happen, because obviously they can produce these cards the question is how big a market will there be for them and is it worth them selling them as a branded model.... anyhowe if you have a link for some place selling them other than at&t drop us a line
Strangely enough, my 16gb SanDisk Class 2 was slow as hell in my HD2 with 6.5, but seems to sing with WP7...

apparently its because of random access speeds, a digital camera couldnt care less about random speeds, what it needs to sequential speeds, hence the class ratings they use, i dont know the details of it al but apparently one of the ways they can make it sequentially faster has an adverse effect on the random speed
theres several other factors involved as well, components used and how it was put together etc. thats partially why your safer with a class 2 or 4 card.
Hi everyone just got my note 3 two weeks ago and I bought a 32gb sd card
Suddenly today every time I would lock the phone and when I would unlock it,it would take about 3 seconds for the lock screen to appear and I would always get the message "sd card removed"
Is there any fix to this yet?
I used the app wake lock in partial lock mode and that seemed to work but I don't like the fact that the cpu keeps running

Take out and reinsert the card...most likely card problem. Or you could have also bought one of the fake sd cards floating around on ebay.

I tried that and it did not work, I tried a different sd card and it worked fine
Also it reads well on a pc so I don't understand

Samsung phones seem to hate a lot of SD Cards, There is threads and threads of people posting about memory card issues. Seems you have a card that Samsung doesn't like working with.
Even people who have Samsung sd cards have this issue
It's really disappointing cause I take a lot of pictures and was hoping for the extra space. Guess the 32 gb the device has should be enough
Unless anyone else has any advice

We had same thing on mine and my wife's Galaxy S3, we would start getting messages about card being removed unexpectedly few times and then we had both cards (different size and maker) dead within one day. One card I was able to reformat the other one nothing can recognize. I strongly suspect it's Samsung fault, we used both cards in Nokia's for 2 yrs without one error. Do a search and you will see many posts on this subject with different cards. Was kind of hoping Note 3 won't have this issue. Also, I never had another card fail in many yrs of using different digital cams and other devices. My solution is simple: I save pics and video to internal memory, when that gets crowded I do full back up to external HDD and then transfer to SD card to have it for show. All music and movies are on external SD, but are fully backed up as well. In other words I expect SD card to fail at any time, but all it's fine so far, I think our GS3's took about 9-10 months to fail the cards.
Check LOST.DIR, if there is anything there you already lost some files and the card begins to be corrupted and it only will get worse.
The main trick here is to always have a backup, so nothing important is lost forever and frankly that's a good idea with any data and any device.

How did you fix this problem? I am having the same issues.
Recently I found a thread where a member could easily enable Marshmallow's adaptive storage feature which was hidden by Samsung. Good news is that you don't need to root your device for that. Just the knowledge of adb will do.
My concern is, that member has tried the method on his Snapdragon variant. So, is there anyone who has tried it with his Exynox device? I would like to know the success rates from you before trying it out myself.
P.S I don't think variants would matter much.
I am very interested but I don't want to format everything. Too much time consuming

Good to know that it worked for you. I had a few questions though:
1. Is your device an Exynox variant?
2. How did you verify that it worked well? As per the article, the storage values shown by default will get messed up. So which file manager app did you try out for verifying the partition made?

I have adaptive storage enabled since day one on my Exynox variant S7 Edge, it will work fine!
I should post too, based on my experience, enabling adaptive storage may reduce the cards lifespan to around 2 years.
Background, I own 5 Sandisk Micro SD cards (128 GB variant.)
The 1st one I purchased was from Amazon on May 2014 and that was purchased for exclusive use with my Galaxy S4, specifically for Foldermount (obb folder to sd) and Link2Sd (apk to sd, allocated a 10 gig partition for moving apps)
My Galaxy S4 retired August this year and and migrated that sd card to the S7 and adaptive storage it. Last night it died
(write protected)
Am I surprised I only got 2 years out of the card? Not really, using it in this manner will significantly increase the number of writes to the card. Will I still be using adaptive storage in the future? Absolutely!! I purchased the card for $120.00, so that means for me it cost $60.00 per year for the extra space I guess that isn't too bad!?
The other thing you may all want to consider, if you have an addiction flashing the latest and the greatest then you may want to steer clear of adaptive storage, each time you flash a new rom you have to re-partition and re-format the Micro SD twice, then restore your files, so with every rom upgrade, you may significantly wear your card. Something to think about...
120 USD!!!????
