What? Never had any memory issue on my old HTC Desire. I think only mid-range(and low-range) smartphones have memory issues, not high-range.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] thelestat:
You should search before you post. A portion of the ram on android phones is dedicated to the radio (so you can always recieve and make calls no matter what apps are running) its down to the manufacturer to decide how much.

To my mind this borders on false advertising, as the avaliable ram is way less than the advertised amount.

Fyi iPhone still does not multitask. In that only 1 app (task) can run at any given time. Ios did recently introduce fast app switching. Which saves the state of an app to memory, stops it running and switches to another app. To enable you to skip the reloading into memory of the app if you want to switch back. Although you do still need to wait for network connections to be restablished etc when you switch back to a saved app.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] MouFou:
I think it should not be an issue if all the memory is used .. why not use all the memory aviable .. if an app or the system needs more memory it should be automatically cleared by android! just because some task manager displays that the whole memory is in use you dont have too less memory ..
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] AJerman:
Just one of those common misconceptions people have. They need to see free memory to feel good. Just like when Windows started using it's extra memory as a cache and everyone started flipping out because they had no free memory. Android is the same way because it's the intelligent way to do memory management. Use all the memory available, and if something needs memory, less important or background tasks are removed from memory. This is why a task killer is NOT necessary for Android, and will only hinder performance. Android phones have no memory issues at all. They work as they should, but you have to understand that some of the memory is dedicated to parts of the system outside the Android OS user space.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] teh_pwnage:
+1 above.... being a student and having taken a course on OS design in practice and in theory this is the best practice.... look at your desktop os... it may tell you in a memory manager that there is "free" memory but in reality it is already paged and being treated as cache until such time that a new application needs it.

It's simple memory theory, it's pointless to have it unless it's used.... great to see that mobile operating systems are starting to do it.... my BBerry storm doesn't that's part of the reason why it's a P.O.S. and I'm going to be dumping it for a SGS II

Same thing.

Looks like too much of a pain, might be cheaper to just have HTC fix it rather then risking more damage and a half assed put together phone.

Eh... the House is different. Not sure how you would go about removing the housing on the Inspire, the Desire has a full back batter door.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryfell:
For the last couple of week my phones system apps have been using appx 10-15Mb per day in 3G data and I have no idea why.

It's chewing up most my allowance and I'm going to have to disable the APN soon if I can't find out what's causing it.

I know it's a system app as i'm using TrafficStats Lite but it doesn't tell me exactly what the source of the problem is. It lists the below under the section that is causing me the problem:

Contracts Storage

Dialer

People

com.android.providers.applications

Plugin sample

com.android.providers.userdictionary
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crendot:
Hi,

first of all try market://search?q=pname:com.curvefish.apps.trafficinfo

shows trafffic per app

maybe you try to disable background sync?

a other option would be droidwall, so you can enable every app that should get internet access and the others wont get it - needs root.

cya
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] barryfell:
TrafficInfo doesn't give me any better info than TrafficStats Lite.

Also, disabling background sync doesn't tell me why the system is suddenly using up 10-15mb a day when it has never used anything like that in the 10months i've had it.

Droidwall will be useful in the short term until I can find out why my system apps are using so much data though.

Thanks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwwald:
Hi,

Sorry to bring up this old thread, but since a month or so I have been noticing the exact same thing on my HTC Legend. Got a 500MB monthly limit, never got even close to consuming it all... but in November, data usage got crazy and I hit the limit.

3G Watchdog shows me these apps as the top data consumer: "People", "com.android.providers.userdictionary", "Dialer", "Contacts Storage" and "com.android.providers.applications". These all show up as one combined entry, and for example have consumed 9MB only yesterday.

Anyone know what exactly is going on here?

Thanks for any advice,

wwwald

[Eee Pad Transformer General] sgspikes:
This might be a weird question to you, but do you have both qwerty and azerty keyboards in Canada ?

If only qwerty, how do you make accents and special french caracters like ùàçèé ?

All these questions because i would be interested in buying one from the US, but I wouldn't a qwerty keyboard.

At first I had planned on getting the slate only in the US and the dock back in France, but it sounds like the dock is going to cost 150€ if we do not take the bundle ...
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
ive bought a lot of stuff from pccyber, they are a local here in ottawa with 4 stores and 2 in montreal. i've never order anything from their website though. i wouldnt put too much on their release date on their website, i've bought my last two asus eee pc from them and they are horrible for stock and never know when they are suppost to get new shipments of stock. i had to check all 4 locations to find the one i wanted even though their website said it was suppost to be in stock so i don;t have much confidence in their site. i only bought the eee pc from them because they are the only local store that carried them and had a decent price. Also seems fishy that they are the only retailer in canada taking preorders...

anyone know if futureshop will be carrying this? i assume so since best buy is suppost to be carrying it and they own futureshop.

edit: i just noticed they changed the release date again to april 25, thats 3 times now.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SalsaForte:
French Canadians (i'm one of them) uses Qwerty keyboards. The same layout, with minor differences. And you can often buy "bilingual" keyboards: french and English characters are printed on the keys.

Hope this helps!

Actually, i haven't checked if the transformer keyboard can be ordered in Canadian Bilingual (refered as fr_ca)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
I called both the local PCCyber stores here in Montreal. One guy had no idea when is this coming ("It might come tomorrow and I would not know today") and the other one said it'll come end of next month! When I said but your website says coming April 25, he boldly said "it's wrong".

*Sigh* :(

I'm travelling internationally on the 29th and this would have been the perfect travel companion but I have little to no hope of getting my hands on Asus Transformer :(

Edit: Although I should mention, 2-3 days ago when I talked one of the Ottawa store reps, he was confident he'll get it on 18th. He even said he knows I'm in Montreal but instead of reserving one for shipping online, if I can come to Ottawa and put my money down, he can give me one on the 18th in store. Good luck fellow Ottawa residents!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SonicTab:
Amazon.ca orders are suppose to ship 5/9.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Amazon.ca is not listing the EEE Pad Transformer at the moment, though I understand it did at one point (and was quickly taken down). So I doubt any release date from their page is reliable.

I'm holding on for the Asus, as the Xoom is (now) overpriced and I don't want to wait anxiously for a software update to unlock the SD Card slot. And I love the keyboard dock too, hopefully it will come out soon after (it's a big part of their marketing after all).
[Eee Pad Transformer General] gpearson1968:
LOL,

Available in Canada before it's available in the US.

Interesting marketing our friends at ASUS are employing....

Cheers,

gpearson1968
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
If this ends up happening, I think it is because they do not have enough supply for the US and don't want bad press for not being able to keep up with demand.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BongoBong:
While I would love for this to be true, I wouldn't place to much hope on PcCybers preorder page and wait for official news from Asus. It seems to me like they are just fishing for early preorders even though they have no idea when its coming out.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killermojo:
It certainly does seem like even Asus is not sure of when they can launch. It's getting frustrating..
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SonicTab:
5/9 is the ship date for those that got an order in with amazon.ca

I'm sure Bestbuy will have them in store first like the ep121.

Not interested in the keyboard for $150,

but at $75 maybe, just really dont see much of a need for it.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] marinierb:
It's gone from PCCyber's site.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] jug6ernaut:
If they dont hurry up im gonna get the Acer a500. I at least they are giving a release date not this mystery bs from asus.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] dcmtnbkr:
My guess would be they got a cease and desist
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
There's a pre-order with no pricing and no release date on expansys.ca. Sounds more like a "we'll notify you once we know something".

http://www.expansys.ca/asus-eee-pad-transformer-android-tablet-207806/
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
That is sort of reassuring. As much as I'd like to pre-order it online, I'd rather do it in-store (same as what I did for the Xoom) so I can be there as soon as they open :D
[Eee Pad Transformer General] smaskell:
memory express(they're a canadian company based out of calgary for those who don't know) also have a page set up for the transformer but it is currently blank.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] T3rry1:
i can say with confidence that any dates for Canada release right now are purely speculation, i have access too all the vendors that these computer stores have access to, and honestly it's not even listed on their site yet, so there is certainly no ETA right now, it's all a guessing game fishing for pre-orders.

Asus is finally launching the much awaited Eee Pad Transformer to US AND CANADA in 5 days! :D

I'll be really curious to see which stores will be carrying this and how I can get this little puppy in my hands on 26th. I don't care if I have to drive to Ottawa for this but I want it ASAP.

Another motivation for getting it early is that I'm travelling internationally on the 29th and there is NO better companion that this beautiful beautiful Transformer.. not even my gf! :D

Here is the info that I got from Bureau en gros (staples) at the Montreal Central Station:

they do have 2 SKUs in the system, one for 16gig at 399$ and one for 32gig for 499$. The 16gig shows an availability from the warehouse starting on the 25th of April. No date for the 32gig. He told me that it means I should be able to get a 16gig on the 26th of April but he will confirm and get back to me. I'll update this post when I get more info.

Cheers,

Stephane.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:

I can easily pick it up there on the 26th. Are they letting customers pre-order?

Canada Computers | Memory Express

NCIX | Staples CA | Visions
[Eee Pad Transformer General] BongoBong:
I wonder why bestbuy isn't an official reseller in Canada?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
I can tell you something a little troubling. I have access to one of the distributors websites (not retailer, but DISTRIBUTOR) and the ETA they list is May 2.

I can't possibly imagine that these Canadian retailers will have it on the 26th, considering that if you call them, they have no information about the Transformer or even a SKU in their system. None of them even list it on their website. How can we expect these to be delivered over the Easter weekend on such short notice?

I'll still keep the 26th marked on my calendar, but I'm not feeling too confident about that date :(
[Eee Pad Transformer General] JROCxvl:
something to note. Looks like there won't be any preorders in Canada, as per my commenting on Facebook:

"Josh Lutz: just tell me where I can pre-order it in Canada and my money is as good as yours!"

"ASUS Eee: ‎@Josh: 4/26 will be directly on-shelf. Stay tuned. We will provide more information by 4/26."

well looks like I am going to try to get one on my lunch break!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] EP2008:
Considering they sold so well in the UK, perhaps camping at your local Staples is in order :)
[Eee Pad Transformer General] myzter:
this rocks
[Eee Pad Transformer General] bluezz:
I called the same Staples here in Montreal. Though the guy accepted that he has SKUs in the system already but he told me to come on 25th to the store and then he'll give me more info :(

If the store has the SKUs then they should easily be able to take pre-orders. I did the same at future shop for nexus S.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] HideYoKids:
ugh, I already too a morning off to pick up the Xoom and I had it on pre-order! lol

Hopefully I can just dash over to the closest staples and grab one when they open. I honestly can't see them selling out immediately. I know theres some buzz for it, but not everyone is like us. I sort of pride myself of not only being the first to have to out of my friends but also the first to know about it.

Theres nothing more satisfying than telling the employees of a store when they will be releasing products.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] neotekz:
anyone know if bestbuy stores will carry these? or futureshop?

i like the 14 day no questions asked return policy, does staples have this kind of return policy too?
[Eee Pad Transformer General] killermojo:
They do 14 days as well
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SalsaForte:
Quick question...

Does anyone have tested the Eee Pad dock while writing in French.

For me, it's important: a buy, no buy. I don't care if I don't care if the french chars are not printed on the QWERTY keyboard, but it must "write" in French Canadian. Alt.Char-2 must be @ sign, there must be a dedicated é/É key, usually just beside the right-shift, and on...

Can someone can confirm or have tested it?

Thanks a lot!
[Eee Pad Transformer General] PuerkitoBio:
Yes it works, tested on my dock. You have to configure the asus keyboard as french canada (well, french whatever) and switch to this keyboard when you plug the dock (if, like me, you use another keyboard for the virtual one) . Keys are pretty much where you expect them to be, with a dedicated é key.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] SalsaForte:
Thanks! Then, I'll buy one... If I can find one stock.

Hey guys, I'm new to the rooting and xda community. I just rooted my mt4g a few days ago and am trying to figure out how to remove the tmobile "my account" application. I have seen a thread on xda where someone claimed to have removed it. I'm currently on ice glacier (latest version) i have titanium and super manager and busy box and all that jazz but im still not able to get it removed. Even after trying to force remove with titanium. if anyone could point me to the proper thread that has detailed instructions on how to remove that dastardly app or a video walkthrough that would be great. thanks for your help guys.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
easiest way in your case would be to open Super Manager > give it SU access via the settings menu > file explorer > then go do /system/app and look for it and delete it.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Go to Settings -> Apps -> Manage Apps, scroll to the app, select, and hit uninstall. If the uninstall button is greyed out, download a root file manager (such as Root Explorer, for example), and manually delete the APK from /data.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefireinside369:
ive tried over and over through titanium and super manager, it just will not remove. i have also tried to find and remove the selfhelp.apk which seems to be what its listed under but all with no luck. still keeps popping up using my data and being annoying. thanks for your input guys.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
The only other thing I can think of is file permissions. You need a file manager that allows you to change the permissions to the appropriate type to allow you to remove a file. You can do that in Root Manager (change it form R/O to R/W).
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
are you making sure to change the settings to SU access, and changing the ~/system folders to R/W.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
to do this you want to go into the adb to terminal and type

$ su
# mount -o remount,rw -t yaffs2 /dev/mtdblk3/block /system

be care full this will make the entire phone r/w, deleting the wrong thing will FUBAR the phone.

then you'll want to type

ls /system/app

and see if it's in there, if not

ls /data/app

when you find it you'll want to type, depending on data or system you'll need to change it accordingly.

rm /______/app/<app name>

when you are done deleting what you want change everything back to -ro

mount -o remount,ro /dev/mtdblock3 /system

More information can be found here.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TeeJay3800:
Haha yes, you can easily FUBAR the phone. :eek: FYI, Root Explorer can change file permissions with the click of a button, without having to do it manually through terminal.

I feel like I'm promoting RE a little too much, but it's what I've used for a long time with great success, so naturally it's what I suggest. neidlinger's method will accomplish the same thing, with the advantage of learning what's going on "behind the scenes."
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thefireinside369:
As I'm new to rooting, is there any roms that come without myaccount already?
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
