James Body on Periscope: "Randy Resnick Trio - Live at TAD Hack Paris"

These phone recordings are never the best,  and notice, there isn't even a microphone. Still, +James Body was courageous enough to stay in front for the entire set, so I may as well present you with the evidence. 

Many thnaks to +Alan Quayle (image) for another great #TADHack.

OnePlus X SD Card : known issues and fix

If you see this for more than a few seconds, it will probably never go away. Currently, there are two known SD issues with the OnePlus X OS. The card does not show up in the Settings->Phone->Storage display, but the memory is available as you can see with the Android File Transfer utility (and I'm sure, the Windows equivalent).

The other issue is that the phone can only work with NTFS formatted cards. This is documented in the OnePlus forum, but I thought I'd repeat it here. There should be an OS update coming with the bugs fixed. Meanwhile, there's plenty of room for videos and music and both are detected by MX Player.
