Hi
I am having problems with mobile users whose devices have disconnected the storage card because of low battery power. We run our critical apps from storage card so this is quite a problem.
Does anyone know what this threshhold is and if it is possible to change it or disable it altogether?
Thanks in advance
I don't think that it is possible to change the threshold, because from the message, I consider it a matter of lack of power, not the software does it.
And more, it only disconnect the Storage Card and reports when the battery comes so low. So don't try too hard to keep it working, or lose all of your hard work.

Has anyone seen this: my battery was fully charged at the end of the afternoon, I made a few calls (not too long). The day after my machine did not react; after placing it in the cradle it finally came to life... EVERYTHING WAS GONE.
One would think that a daily sync would backup most stuff, but this has proven to me a major misjudgement of mine... My daily time4life reporting is gone. This sucks.
Anyone knows how to recover this? Why isn't the information safe on this machine?
Yep, get sprite back-up it has a battery monitor function.
Turn the Bluetooth and wifi off when you dont need them.
Save your work on the SD card

If you live in an area of poor network coverage, it is advisable to switch off the radio overnight. If the phone can't get a good sugnal it constantly polls looking for a better signal and draining the battery.
But we're living in de 21-th century... Surely some power can be held in reserve to save the memory...
It sucks bigtime!
But, I will look at sprite backup and will put My documents on the SD card.
Thanx for the tips
I had a similar issue but caught it in time...
I was using an MP3 player and had launched the camera function by accident. On taking the thing off my belt, it was HOT :shock: and had hardly any battery left.
I suppose from an 85% battery, using for 1 hour with the MP3 and camera app running had exhausted the battery. Very worrying, but more so was the XDAIIs was so hot - either the battery or the main unit - not sure.
Have used the MP3 on its own for several hours with no probs, so I can only surmise that the camera eats battery power....... so, could it have been that which was running on yours, hst?
Sorry complete newbie to the XDA IIs here after having ditched my Ipaq H6365. (I only had that for 7 days so not exactly a seasoned ppc user)
When you say you lose everything when you have a flat battery what does that mean? Is this the same as a hard reset? Installed programmes gone?
Is it all emails, text messages and contacts?
it is worrying if so as I travel a lot and sometimes might not get chance to charge my XDA and can do without losing these. is there a way to save your contacts etc to a storage card?
Thanks
For all the n00bs and people who don't know...
The XDAs have different types of memory. The Operating system is kept in "Non volatile" memory. This is safe, even without power.
Now, all the programs and your "Documents" that ARE NOT kept on a storage card and kept in the "volatile" memory. This needs constant power otherwise, it wipes it!!!! This is like doing a HARD RESET! Installed programs, e-mail, pictures, etc - GONE!!!!
As far as I'm aware there is NO WAY to recover from volatile memory that has lost it's power.
Regards,
Dom
PS: If any of this is wrong - feel free to correct me!
Well I found out that everything is gone. Still a simple user like me expects all memory to be non-volatile... or at least that when the battery is low, the system will hibernate or something, until it has enough power to operate again. I don't care about e-mail and other recoverable stuff, but I do care about the recording of my billing hours which kept in de database folder!
Bugger.
How about that? How much sdcard consume actually?
Nexus S dont have it, there must be a reason for removing it.
SD cards require ca. 0.15 mA in "standby" or up to nearly 50mA while reading. Therefore, depending on the usage rate of your SD card, it may save power of course to not use one. Instead the data must be read from some other place like internal flash memory. As long as that consumes fewer power, it may be worth a try.
I had this peculiar experience. After reformating my SD CARD I gained 6 hrs of battery life approx now. Previous to the format it was 20 hrs max and now its around 26 hrs. May be the filesystem itself has something to do with power drain I think.
I think I will remove sdcard. My defy now has over 1GB free space and that is enough for everything

So how do you compress your 15gb music library into that single GB ?
ill keep my SD card in cheers, removing it cant use any more juice than the internal memory.
My mp3 player, a cowom d2 has internal memory and an sd slot. On sd the play back is way shorter.

On my Sansa Clip+ it makes sod all difference.
Don't use SD card, don't use 3g, keep display low, don't play games, finally sell that phone and be happy.
What would be the point in having it.

What's the point of having a smart phone if you don't use its features. Besides wouldn't it consume more time and power if you turn off your device , insert sd card (by some event you need it), turn it on again. ??? Then again, its up to you.
Got a Headache? It's all in your Head.
It does chow battery, thats why I keep most of my apps on the internal flash....and those apps you only open once in a while I leave on my sd, and movies, mp3s etc etc.
You wont need to remove the sd, just unmount it under storage, then it will not even be in standby and save some battery

This argument is not valid in my opinion. Analysing what consumes battery to a more or lesser extent is irrespective of what you use. Once you identified the power hogs, you can alter your use, or accept the consequences for the ones you want to use. If you use a dedicated MP3 player for instance, I could imagine that the internal memory would be sufficient.
For me, 3G is avoided as much as possible. Using wifi instead uses less battery.

Thanks man, i did not think of just unmount lol
I could not remove it, my navigation files must be on it... too bad because i dont have need for sdcard since i dont have lots of mp3s and pics. I have now more then 1gb of free space on phone...
i dont know the differences among class10 、class6 and class4.
but when i transfer data from PC to my note2 ，i found my device overheated when touching.
i assume it is because the sd card is being written into data that rockets the temprature.
pls do answer my following questiongs. thanks！
1，if i replace a better SD card ， would I solve the overheating issue？
2， why is there no USB storage mode when connected my note2 to PC？
3，I use the media MTP mode instead ，which may cause media scanning backstage after transferring data. is it the reason of overheating？(heavily burden of scanning sd card backstage)
USB connection settings are found in. .
menu/settings/development/USB..
I suspect your overheat condition may be battery related. .
SD card changes in higher classes generally increase read/write speeds.
My reason to suspect battery is directly related to charging during data transfer.
A good test would be to power off the device and remove the battery. Then plug in the device and power it on for your data transfer.
If the device runs at an acceptable temperature, the PC may be over charging.
If the device overheats with no battery, then the heat generation resides within the device CPU most likely.
Other means beyond SD cards would need to be taken to reduce heat obviously.
You make no mention of what rom you use, or if you have modified the device kernel with CPU speed changes or voltage adjustments.
All of these factors play heavily into heat generation issues.
More info is needed to be sure of the cause, but the battery removal test will tell you the location to check next....g
thank u for ur reply.
i check the battery temp.
it is 36℃ when transferring.
but when i touch the upper part of phone i feel hot enough.
is it normal？
how could i check CPU temp？

Hi guys,
I have been using almost all custom roms for redmi 1s. It's quite frustrating that for every week the memory card is getting corrupted or formatted and I see a message that "memory card is not inserted". I try to remove the battery and remove SD card and put it back then the memory shows it's empty. Even it happens for internal storage when I connect to my windows PC. It happened thrice. Soon after I stopped connecting to PC. Please help me in fixing this issue.
Thanks in advance.

Have you checked the memory card on a computer? It sounds like a faulty or fake card!

Thank you for your reply @david_inuk .
Yes, it was working fine in PC. Yesterday it stopped working completely. I'm buying strontium nitro 32 GB suggest me any good memory cards (32 GB + promising speed + promising warranty) .
Small query, is there any chances that due to over heat memory card fails or gets flashed because for me almost in every custom rom mobile is getting heated upto 75 degC
While charging.
And the same was happening with internal storage as well. Where do I'm going wrong?
mobile never gets heated upto 75 while charging on any rom, maybe you are using it while charging so never use mobile when its charging, and about card i think its a card problem try any other card, and tell what happens.
Yes, i was been testing with 8 GB memory card its working fine. The problem was in MC thank you so much @nishant12819...
Yes my mobile CPU is getting heated upto 72+ degree C..... Even if it is not on charging. Almost with all custom rom. Im using atleast 50apps and battery backup is also not good 4 or less hours of screen time(with greenify and ds battery saver).. Suggest me if any tips... with wakelock detector im blocking some of the wakelocks but eventhough its same. On GPS and Google maps while travelling around 50Kms it lasted 3hours
Hi All, after all possible ways to fix my P2, I am getting little angry, as thanks to help people here, I sourced full S233, and done full format and fresh installation, but still no any ringtones or sounds available, no problem, used backup form Z2, and this should be covered, media was high on battery drain too, no problem removed sd card, find out something is not right, as media gone back to normal, backing up 80gb of data a reformatting sd card, but what is wrong with sim management - hammering battery heavily, on gsam pro - showing 75 % of battery consumed by combined app CPU !!!
What is could be???? Tried sim 1 and sim 2 tray no difference. I know there is bug which keep Phone idle high, but this is nothing against sim management, anyone with any suggestions??? Many thanks..
ok, find problem, it was corrupted photos and video file on sd card. all back to normal SOT 12-13 hour per charge..
How did you identify the corrupt photo/video? I am having similar problem.

I am now experiencing the same thing. Could you please elaborate?
I just switched devices and transfered the content from my daily driver P2 to my spare P2 via Nandroid/TWRP.
I think I've had this problem before and that it had something to do with using airplane mode for an extended period of time.
