    using exFAT on Android on smaller micro SD cards?

    Are there any downsides to reformatting 32GB microSD cards to exFAT provided any other machines that could use this card also can read exFAT? (Mainly for using the card as the default "external storage," not as OTG storage but I suppose it shouldn't matter.)

    I have this weird thing with my carrier - I can use lots of GB of data but don't nearly have as much allocation if I tether ...

    So to stick it to them, I'll download with my phone to the microSD or internal storage, and then copy it off the card/internal storage. No difference in the bytes transferred, but none gets counted as "tethering" ...

    It's been bad...prior to getting my 5G phone I've been hovering around 2GB used per month, which is well below my allotment. Now with this 5G phone this first month I've hit 40GB and I have a day left in my plan... 50GB is theoretically the "soft limit" of "unlimited", and downloading fresh OpenStreetMap data for my Garmin has been killing the airwaves...

    I hope my carrier is sorry they forced me from my old 4G phone because of it not having VoLTE, I wouldn't have started doing this with my old Android 5 phone as there are a lot of apps it no longer supports, granted I think it should support exFAT... hmm... need to test...

      what was your old phone?

      use a usb-on-the-go adapter and an external harddrive - make them sorry!

          Help with trying to fix phone that is not charging (Pics inside)
          by SluggerB
          I have two TCL A30 phones.

          Old Phone: This phone worked fine for years, then stopped charging If you plugged a charger into it, the phone would make the charging sound, the phone would tell you it is charging, but the battery icon would not have the charging symbol in it and the battery would not charge.I tried new battery, same behavior.

          New Phone: Works fine, bought as a donor board to try and repair Old Phone

          My interest here is to repair Old Phone, using components parts off New Phone if needed. I am not interested in replacing Old Phone with New Phone....

          new OS on a Sonim XP5s phone
          by keeney123
          To you programmers out there I want to know if it is possible to put a new OS on the Sonim XP5s phone? I only need this phone to make calls, receive calls, have a list of contacts and be able to call voice mail.
          I bought this phone new Sep.2021 as an unlock phone from a third-party seller. The phone worked fine until Jan 2022. I then had intermittent problems with the sound setting resetting itself. One of the settings, outdoor, would go to silent all by itself. When in silent mode it does not indicate a call has come in. I missed very important phone calls. All the other setting in sound...

          JVC LT-39CA120 - Vestel 17MB171 - Android boot loop
          by Grut
          Hi everyone,

          My JVC (Vestel) LED TV is stuck on a Android boot loop when I switch the power on.

          Previously, I was trying to clean the storage memory (by deleting as many files as possible), I may have delete some start-up Android files.....so I screw it.🤡

          When I switch the power on, the initial JVC is shown. I have tried to run Android 9 from a bootable USB on the TV. It starts reading the USB but nothing happens and the JVC logo and Android boot loop keeps the same.

          Can anybody help me please finding the 17MB171 USB firmware to try to upload...

          Optiplex 3050 micro 2 blinks followed by 3 blinks issue
          by Taurus12
          Does anyone have an idea of what might be the issue with my 3050 micro? I have tried replacing new cmos battery but still the same

          I am not sure if its the powersupply that I'm using is the issue since its the original powersupply. its a laptop powersupply with the same specifications with the 3050 micro so i guess it should be fine.

          i also tried replacing the bios but with no avail, everytime i try another bios it gives a different blinking lights

          Any recommendation on what I have to do next? Thanks in advance

          Hisense 55Q9G Android reset / factory firmware reload
          by mon2
          Hello. Have a 55" Hisense TV that starts to load the Android OS (no backlight issues) -> reaches the app screen where you can view the assorted icons including Netflix and always crashes at the same point just after this launch. If I quickly press the cursor buttons, the cursor can navigate to the settings menu but will power off just after a few seconds of this activity. Do not believe it is power related since the crash is very accurate in the boot cycle.

          After the OS 'crashes', the power does go off and the from white LED goes dark for about 20 seconds and then ON again....
