[HD2 General] motoi_bogdan:
normally, the nand memory controller deploys error correction algorithms. On top of that, a technology similar to SMART (for hard disks) is used to both level out the wear of each particular memory cell and also to remove broken ones (either the ones that fail over time due to various reasons or due to manufacture errors). The MCU (microcontroller) also has a small internal memory used to keep a track on the situation of the memory blocks inside the nand chip. If for whatever reasons, some of them fail, the MCU will log this inside it's memory and also mark those sectors as "bad" thus preventing any write to them. At this stage the user won't see any problems with the NAND, yet. Once the MCU memory is full, further nand memory sectors that die out, won't be recorded and managed, therefore will appear as visible. In contrast with hard disks, were you can actually isolate those sectors and prevent them from being written, phone's don't do this, or more precisely their OS's don't support this feature. So, when you flash a phone with bad memory blocks, data will be written there but it won't be read at the next restart. So comes occasional restarts or freezes. If you're "lucky" you can get a bad memory block in the area where the ipl/spl resides. This is an end game scenario, since the ipl can't be "moved" around the nand memory.

You cannot effectively map the broken sectors of a nand memory once the mcu unit's memory is full. Those are here to stay. The only way i know involves jtag and some really fancy software tools that load a small program intro the phone's ram memory. That program runs from there and allows for a full nand memory checkup.

Yeah, I charge my HD2 multiple times in a day because I use it so much.

Wonder how long my phone will last. Got it brand new a couple of months ago
[HD2 General] Richy99:
ive had my hd2 since it came out in nov09 and its been charged every single night bar probably about 2 weeks worth of time, and never had an issue with anything going wrong
[HD2 General] jmoney21:
hey, I have a HD2 with bad memory NAND blocks and know my HD2 will not boot up but do you have any suggestions because i really do like the phone but it just won't boot?:confused:
[HD2 General] jmoney21:
Is there anything you can do for that because i think i did that to my HD2 if you plz message me back because my HD2 wont boot and i really do need this phone so if you can help plz do?
[HD2 General] Visentinel:
If your getting bad blocks and its giving you headaches and you have zero issues with the ipl/spl then just switch to SD android builds ;)

they might work a tiny bit slower but at least you can still use the phone happily.

My phones almost a year old now, but i did not use it for nearly 4 months coz I got a desire. Sold that on ebay and gone back to the HD2 when magldr came out. I go by 2 simple rules...

Dont flash the radio/spl if you have no bloody reason to. there's only 1 good radio and that's the normal 2.15 HSPL. the fact that those NAND blocks are so critical means dont touch unless its majorly important to do so.

Secondly, make sure you dont let any rogue processes in android go into a massive file write fit of frenzy, and disable logging in apps that log allot to internal NAND or change it to log to the SD Card.

More often your touch input will fail, or those buttons will fail.

Dont worry about abusing the daylight out of the battery, its worth $1 and can be replaced anytime, but don't abuse that precious usb port.... treat it well and blow some air into it once in a while.

1 more tip, dont use car chargers they dont filter well and the last thing you need is a high voltage surge going into the phone, instead what i did is buy a sinewave invertor and then run an ac charger from that and i get the added benefit of sometimes bring a power board and can run the kids dvd player indefinetly and charge other phones... laptops....

Go to the ROM thread and check the advices of the dev when upgrading from 5.1 to 5.2 (maybe he asked to do a full wipe first)

I posted this on the Bonsai rom thread, but its happening with multiple roms so figure its better to post here.

anyone elses phone get really warm when connected to bluetooth? whenever I connect to the parrot bluetooth in my car, the phone is realy warm. running bonsai 4.0 now with ec05 modem. its been doing this with all roms, and with my last epic before I got it replaced. is it normal for it to heatup on bluetooth? its not like really hot, but its definately warm. like i'm sitting in the office now and the back of the phone is cold to the touch. where its noticeably warm when in the car and i have a case on it as well.

and my phone still doesn't sleep correctly, its getting so frustrating. it doesn't sleep like 25% of the time as measured by spare parts. running is always 25% ore more and when its working correctly, its like 12% or less and it has a noticeable affect on battery life. it was working great for 3 days. then started doing this. I reflashed last night after wiping, only installed the couple of apps I absolutely need which are backup programs and my remote desktop program and still the same crap. last night it seemed to be sleeping okay, but now this morning since connecting to bluetooth it seems screwed up. I'm really beginning to think that it has something to do with the bluetooth.

[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bill Noneya:
Dropped mine 10 foot off a scissor lift and it hit a job box and flew sideways another 10 feet into a wall without a scratch. But then I had a simple 3 foot drop on gravel rock that scratched the glass. I think my otterbox case helps prevent more damage. Ive dropped this phone a dozen times now without problems except the seemingly least likely one to cause damage is the only one that did any. I dropped it into a floor drain with 140 degree fahrenheit running water where it laid for about 2 minutes while I found a glove to get it out with and it didnt do any damage. My old iPhone cant touch the DEFY in my line of work. Thats what I needed, a tough phone for a tough job.
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscurant1st:
the angle at which your phone is falling seriously matters! At some angles the shock while touching the ground transfers to the glass directly, then it will break, but some times the shock gets neutralized or transfered to some other parts, etc etc!
[Defy Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rachit2588:
Angle matters..

the angle of collision sometimes will damage it....but i think the probability of shattering is like limit tending to almost zero...
[EVO 4G General] sw99:
I was wondering how to link .dex files from Dalvik-cache to other locations. Let me explain.

Many ROMs and Kernels move the dalvick-cache to the /cache mount. From what I can tell, this is done by linking the directory from /data to /cache. I was having a problem running out of space in /cache, so I moved it back to /data and moved all my apps to an external mount with apps2sd.

I only have a class to SD card, and would really like to move as much back to main memory as possible, so I would like to select some .dex files to link to the /cache mount. I tried moving the file and creating a symbolic link, but this did not work - the app just crashed when run.

I have tried the link2sd app, but that only allows you to move the files to the card too. These also look like standard symbolic links, so I am not sure why what I am trying is not working.

Any ideas?

I was given some possibly incorrect advise, due to not being able to update phone through Kids. I then downloaded firmware 2.3.2 from samware. I then downloaded Odin and followed the tutorial. I am now unable to even connect my phone to Kies and the phone feels sluggish and has crashed twice.

Can anyone help? Thanks

Right first of all can you connect the phone to the computer ?? example: USB mass storage ??

secondly do you have the 3 button combo ??? (recovery and download mode)

if yes to both, get yourself 2.2.1 firmware from samfirmware.com (something like I9000XWJS5 or JS8) they seem to be the latest releases.

follow the instructions found on the website to flash the firmware and then report back.

Try this.

- Go to settings>wireless and network>usb settings. Put it on "ask on connection"

- Start Kies. Wait for it to load.

- now connect your phone to your pc. It asks what kind of connection on your phone. Choose Kies.

- hopefully now it loads in Kies

If this doesnt work try reinstalling Kies.
