Probably is your ext sdcard issue. It is more practical to backup on external sdcard in case your phone crashed n fail to access internal sd n it is saving space

I've guessed as much.. was wondering more of like what's wrong with the extcard instead.. cause it's a brand new Sandisk Mobile Ultra 64GB class 10. Anyone using it? backed up without hitches?

BTW, if I backup with internal storage, then transfer it to ext SDCard, will it restore?

I am using class 10 64 GB Sandisk ( but in fat32 format)
What kernels are you on ; some custom kernels do not support exfat format
I have zero issues backing up and restoring

Yes you can restore it rom ext sdcard - just copy the whole clockworkmod folder over
*
I'm on Siyah 1.4

OK. At the moment, I'll do that first... tried downloading some fat32 format programs. any you recommend?

I just format it in my MAC - just select MSDOS- FAT during format . Even windows I dont think you need any special programs to do it ??

Oh? I thought so as well, but when I tried to format via right-click and format (like how we would on any pendrive), it only has the options of exFAT and NTFS...

Hmm... trying multiple ways to format it to fat32 now... I'm kinda bummed though that it'll have to revert to fat32 due to the 'small' limitations...

but... let's see whether or not it'll work out

Is the possible problem because it is a 64GB SD card?
*
if you're saying it's a problem solely because it's 64GB... then no. it's more of the format of the card

It could be the your notebook card reader problem with micro SDXC.
Seems like format with phone is the fix...

hmmm... never thiught that it could have been my card readers problem... cause i'm using the kingston sd card adapter on my toshiba satelitte L645 which read my 32gb as fat 32 without hitches... oh well managed to format it with guiformat gotten from forums in xda... lets see how it works... will try to backup again via reboot to CWM and see if that works out

you've all been very helpful and thanks a bunch

I have previous  experience trying to format brand new class 10 64 GB Sandisk Mobile Ultra using format command in Windows 7. At the end the card can not formated despite some many attempt. I returned the card for warrranty claim.

Since then i use the card straight out of the box as it has also preformatted. No issue so far. I dare not try to format the card again. By right should not be a problem but bad memory hunts me.
*
So far so good... Erm... Probably will try to nandroid backup again soon to see if there is any difference... The method recommended in xda was completely hassle free and one click format. Hopefully it remains stable..

Hey guys... Just to post my results of the issue of the sdxc card.

Formatting it to fat32 seems to solve the issue for now. Backing up via reboot to CWM is perfect now.

Hmmmm... What is wrong with exFAT anyway?

Mine's slightly warmer too. If it's TOO BAD (aka, like the iPhone 4S piss yellow screen) get it changed ASAP. Otherwise, it's just Sammy and shitty AMOLED manufacturing QC (the screens are SUPPOSED to come out of the factory with a slight blue tint, supposed to anyway).

For me, I like slightly warmer whites so I decided to live with it (it's more "correct" anyhows. Bluer whites are actually quite wrong). Plus, my unit had no other noticeable defect.

It's all up to you though. It's your device and you're under warranty.

But that said, the iP4S piss yellow screens really are piss yellow.

I actually kinda appreciate that they put a few more screen modes there like 'natural' and 'movie' just to make things a little bit less saturated for those (like me) who do not really fancy too saturated colours. Mine was indeed a bit tad blue. Not too much though... just kinda overly saturated. I've always picked the mode 'movies' in my SII which to me looked more natural. Now I'm using the 'natural' mode which makes things a little bit warmer and ... more 'accurate'

QUOTE(Perbaman @ Aug 9 2012, 05:17 AM)
Thank you very much for your input. I certainly overlooked the fact that maybe it is such a small matter and I might end up with a unit with worse "defects". I cant say about iphone because I haven't use one.. I think I better bear with it for a while, as I haven't explored everything to find out if there are other issues. The warranty's 1 year right? So maybe I'll use it for a full month before deciding whether to send for warranty or not. Thank you
*
Really, if you do feel it's a bit too warm, you should get it changed. cause Like what was said before, it's supposed to be a bit cooler. but if you can live with it, then erm.. it doesn't damage your device or anything

Bottom area of the S3 gets hot for the same reason the top part near the camera gets hot on an S2 - the cellular radio systems are located there.

Not so sure which genius thought it was a good idea to put the heat generating parts closer to the users hands though.

Anyway, after staying Stockmod for so long, I'm now firmly back in the Siyah camp (as I was in the beginning). A few tweaks and it's almost as responsive as stockmod now, plus all the extra goodies like sound tweaks, cifs and ntfs support - AND SWAP! OH GLORIOUS SWAP!

Anyways, planning on buying the Mercury Color Screen for the S3 and give myself the Black S3 Samsung denied me. Yum.

Nice swap eh? Hahaa

You UVed your CPU and GPU? I only date go under 50mhz while disabling Mali.. Seems that performance isn't hindered one bit. I seem to be getting slightly more juice with the latest beta5

Hey, just to confirm, you said the black BG mod works exactly the same like on wanam2.0 right? So no need for any changes or anything and flash as I did on wanam2.0?

Thank you so much for your input. May I know, if I send it to service centres, will they fix the screen or replace the unit?

Well, that depends, in this case of a warm screen, if it's replaceable, they'll do that first and if not only the latter.

No need. Recommended though. At least flash cache and system. I do it. I know it's not needed but hey.. Doesn't hurt

Make Swap oni. For all intents and purposes, I have 2.5GB memory right now lol...

... though 1.5GB of that is slower than a slug taking Ritalin.

At least my music player doesn't die on me while surfing really really heavy sites now.

Well... Swap was more intended for a stash and store purpose anyway. However, running a simple media player is no biggie for a quad core even from swap space. Hehehe
