The earbuds icon comes up, but the square reader still works I used it yesterday no problem with my S3

Works fine here as well. Stock (rooted). Same as what Darmokk said, but once in the app, it shows the card reader just fine.

Works just fine

Yeah it works i guess it was my case not allowing the reader to go all the way in

Ok, I just recently got my T-Mobile Galaxy S3 and received my Square card reader in the mail yesterday. I wanted to test it out with a $1.00 purchase and the reader just isn't reading the card. When I plug the device into the earphone jack it's recognized since the icon comes up in the app. When I swipe, no matter how slow, fast, etc it doesn't read the card at all. Tried all the troubleshooting steps that support has sent me and nada. Any ideas?
Using stock firmware, non-rooted so there's absolutely no reason why it shouldn't work.

Fine.
Works for me. Stock rooted. I sometimes use it for my family's business. Gotta give Paypal's reader a try too.

I wonder if it's my phone that's defective. I ordered another reader and we'll see if that's the issue.

Flash another rom, Myn's rom supports the cam in 004.
Same thing happened to me and I went thru 4 evos In 1 week all of them did the same thing. So I thought to myself I am extremely unlucky but then realized that there was one thing all of my phones had in common, my sd card. I saved my pics to my computer and reformated my card and sure enought it worked. So try reformating your card or try a different card and if that don't work go to sprint and raise hell.

Reading is hard, he said he is not rooted.
And yes, I had this same problem happen, after reformatting my SD card all was good. But make sure you backup your data to your pc, so you can transfer back after formatting.

Take all the pics off of your sd card and format it with the evo then replace the pics into the DCIM folder and you will be fine. It has happened to me too on my replacement phone too.
I tried format didn't work but if I put pictures back in it should work
Sent from my PC36100 using XDA App
I have the same problem as well and I can say with confidence the sd card is the problem. I got a new evo and a new sd card all was good until I copied my old files to the new card. The camcorder stopped working until I formatted the card then it worked. Afterwards I copied my pics only to the card and it was working fine. When I moved some apps to the card it stopped working again. I'm not really sure if it's a single app that's causing that or moving apps to the card is the problem.

I've had the same issue with the stock SD card. It didn't happen until after I rooted and flashed MIUI. Can't imagine that has anything to do with it. I keep a constant back up of any new picture I take on my computer. It hasn't happened recently though. (Knock on wood)
I'm just saying it is obviously an issue, but not necessarily with YOUR sd card or the fact that its a 16gig. Weird stuff.
Haha yea I know I did flash miui to :\
I'm hoping its a bug I don't want to get another SD card to much time to put everything back in it

Apps2sd card

So I can't get this to work. ... anyone know why? Something about storage emulator. ...
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
I have to ask.. why? My GN2 shows that I have 9.3 GB free... I understand the need for this on the older devices like the OG EVO where int storage was scarce but on our kind of devices with so much memory... what is the point?
Really? It's pretty common knowledge that Google removed that functionality from Jelly Bean.

works great
i bought a 64gb class 10 sdcard and followed that video (can't put links yet) but someone posted the link in this thread and it's working great.
I did have some trouble moving the apps, but i am a noob with android, I just uninstalled it all and re-downloaded them on playstore (couldn't figureout titanium pro) it downloaded on the new 64gb, all the apps run great i didn't notice any lag at all, everything seems to be downloading to the 64gb I'm HAPPY!
Well I stand corrected.

I also like to have the option and I am glad to see that it can be done.
I got a 64gig card as well, and really don't see the point using apps2sd anymore. 10gb free on the phone is a lot of apps, but I'm also a pretty light user compared to most.
Unfortunately, running you SD card as internal memory puts a tremendous amount of strain on the card. There's a high chance of corruption at some point in time, then you're screwed. I prefer something like https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.slf.ListglApp

If you pull the card will it automatically swap to internal?

Phone and contacts gone!

Everything was running fine last night then all of a sudden I get the com.android.phone unexpectedly stopped working message. I tried to factory reset, restore from a backup from a week ago and nothing. It wouldn't even work with my wife's sim card. Mine number is supposed to be ported over, yet neither of my sim cards work. In my wife's phone everything works fine with her's and my sim cards. I can't access the web on WiFi but I can't access the play store. Can't find the phone process to restore in titanium. I can't access the mobile networks because it says no sim card. Long story short, my phone has no contacts app, no phone app, and not recognizing sim card. That's all I've noticed so far. Any suggestions?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using Tapatalk 2
I just factory reset again and went into recovery and it didn't have my 2 latest backups anymore. It brought up old backups from a couple months back. Ever since I went twrp its done this a few times. Like it magically erases some of my files then brings them back. So I installed an old back up of liquid smooth and my phone service magically reappeared. May just stick with this a bit until I can figure out what's going on with twrp and these touch wiz ROMs. I was on jelly beast and Jedi mind trick jb when this problem came up

go to settings... apps...contacts...clear cache/data and reboot
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
The only problem with that is that contacts and phone were completely erased from my phone. No icons for them, no sign of them in titanium, nothing. Like my phone became an iPod or something. I couldnt get to mobile networks because it said no sim. I have no idea. Its like all the code or programming written for it to have any sign of phone function just disappeared. Been using Jedi jb and jelly beast with no issues till now and it affected both of them including my backups. It wasn't until my old liquid smooth backup that the phone function came back.

sim cards almost never go bad.
try your sim on anther phone
if its functional copy contacts ....etc
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-T989 using XDA Premium HD app
It had to be something within the ROM. I tried the sim from my wife's phone in my phone and it still didn't work. I will redownload the ROM and try a clean fresh install. I've seen where other people had this issue but not to the effect that the phone and contacts apps were completely gone from seemingly existing.

I downloaded jelly beast again ABC did a fresh install and everything seems good now. Phone and contacts are back and work.

Constant "Media" battery drain...

I did a search and found one or two threads with a few suggestions but all went cold after a few pages...I have followed those threads suggestions and have reformatted my internal and external SD cards along with a factory data reset with no avail. I'll attach a screenshot...thanks xda'ers for any help you can offer.

Got any apps that would keep using Media service? When you force stop it does it come back again?
Yeah it does but I can't figure out which app would be the cause...been monitoring with better battery stats and doesn't list a contributor. Uninstalled music hub with titanium backup and I don't use Google music...can't seem to lock down the cause.

What size is your sd card? I had this happen with a 32 gb one time. Switched to 16 and all has been fine. It also might be a corrupt file on the sd if it is the sd.

Yeah I've got a 32 gb, have had it in this thing since I got it when the note 2 came out...haven't had any issues until recently. I did notice when I popped it out overnight then put it back in today the media scanner went nuts for a while (the pic I attached)

this ^^^ may be your issue. a corrupt image,music,video file somewhere on your sd. a lot of ppl say to back up everything on yer sd card to a pc, and then reformat, then add back the contents. i know that stopped it for some. otherwise youll have to figure out what file is corrupted.
when i had a corrupted file, it was a picture that had about 80% of the image on it and the other 20% was just grey. (yep that was corrupted) so i deleted it..
this wonderful app also stops your 'media' process/scanner. you can disable it and enable it and it worked wonders for me in the past, but now CarbonRom has a media scanner toggle built in
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.addz.mediascannerroot please read description and use at your own risk.. like maybe make a nand first.
just an FYI, the service that gets very high when youre listening to lots of music is 'mediaserver' - which is not related to the 'media' process
Thanks to everyone for all of your input! You guys have been a huge help knocking this little annoyance out!!

Yeah sounds like you're having issues with the external SD. Mediascannerservice is what scans for media on SD cards. I've had that issue before and it was a pita! Reformatted and everything was fine till I added all my files then it returned. One of the files (a movie) was no good. It got corrupted and would still play so I never thought anything of it till I tried *watching* the whole movie one day and it cut off with an unsupported message at like 40 mins through. Once I deleted that and rebooted never had the issue again.

I'm thinking that's exactly my problem...I've reformatted it twice but still puts media scanner in overdrive. I've weeded out all the movies I'm bored with and only left a few..today it's a little better but still kept cpu awake running for ten min. Thanks for your input!
