So...to return to where I came in...does anyone know which settings I can change to stop the unwanted services from accessing my 3G connection every day?

The following is the list that I get from 3G Watchdog:

1. Phone

Dialer Storage

SIM toolkit

Field test

2. Network Location

com.android.qxdmlog

Settings

Settings Storage

Accounts & Sync

Setup

HTC Hub

Android System

HTC Function Test Program 1.04g

HTC checkin service

Brcm bluetooth services

Google backup transport

VPN services

Upgrade Setup

CLock

3. DCS service

Calendar storage

Customisation settings provider

Open Sense plugin manager

HTC location service

com.htc.dcs.service.stock

Stocks

HTC weather sync provider

Friend Stream

com.htc.provider.settings

Weather provider

Peep

Customisation setup

DCS utility component

Weather agent service

HTC media uploader

Connect to PC

Facebook to HTC sense

Flickr

To confirm, I already have Background Data disabled on the Accounts & Sync page, and have also disabled data connections using APNDroid. Neither of these measures is stopping the above services from using my 3G connection.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ohgood:
i think your app is mistaken. when data is disabled, and sync is OFF, there should be nothing like this happening. they may -try- and the app report it, but there should be no data what so ever.

try accessing a webpage, or refreshing the content of any of those applications. i think you will find they cannot.

Please Samsung, make this device and I will sell my HTC Vision tomorrow morning (and I *love* my HTC Vision)

Chances are both HTC and Samsung will have versions of their 4.3 inch devices with Dual Cores and QWERTYs...unless the current gens didn't sell very well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mecha2142:
I really doubt HTC will ever make a phone with a QWERTY keyboard AND a 4.3 inch screen. They had the opportunity to do that with the Evo Shift, but they decided to make the screen smaller.

Personally, I'm waiting on the Epic II as well. I really doubt the Evo 3D's camera will hold a candle to Samsung's.

Although I love the design of the phone as it is, I would definitely buy an add on for a slider qwerty dock/case thing. I don't know why people aren't doing this. I know there are a few for the iPhone although they are getting negative reviews; if someone made a good one for the GS2 and priced it right, I bet it would sell.

[S740, S743 General] Keanna:
I've had my phone since July 2009 and loved. Recently- as of about two to three months- the phone hasn't been recognizing the keyboard presses accurately during texting. When I type on the keyboard, it turns from "test test test" to "testest tessst". I tested the buttons in adding a new contact and during searches on Google and didn't have the same issue.

As of today, the phone decided it was Slavic. But English, but Slavic. The menu changed between options being in one language or another, all the options in the menu randomly picking a language. If I exited the menu and went back in, the menu options would change what language they were in again.

Obviously, I chose to do a hard reset.

Now, I don't have the language issue, I still have the keyboard issue, and I don't get any service from ATT! :eek: I can't find any topics that have the same problems I'm having. Please help.

If you're currently experiencing this issue, I'd like to get some information about your device to look for any trends or similarities:

1) Do you have a G2 or a DZ?

2) Which ROM was last running on your device?

3) Do you have the ENG HBOOT installed?

4) Aside from using ROM Manager to flash the recovery image, did you use ROM Manager for anything else (e.g. flashing ROMS)?

We have been looking into this issue on IRC for the past week or so. ANYONE WHO IS HAVING THIS ISSUE NEEDS TO STOP BY THE IRC CHANNEL.

We need to get some more info, right now we only have 2 cases to go on.

irc.freenode.net

#G2ROOT
[G2 and Desire Z General] amazinglarry311:
The internal partitions of the emmc on the incredible are actually visible when connecting to your computer, so a lot of really smart folks formatted these partitions in an attempt to "fix" something that wasn't broken.

this resulted in recovery being unable to mount the partition.

i remember a long time ago helping someone troubleshoot through the process, it involved loading recovery, and using parted to partition and format the different blocks. (this thread here: http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/6433-solved-messed-up-partitions-on-internal-storage/ i'm -Stevo-, although the problem was slightly different the same thing stands, no ability to mount cache.

Now, it's kind of annoying, i've found EVERY person i've ever dealt with that had this issue either disappears a half hour after you begin helping them, or are not advanced enough to use ADB (IT's gonna be required in this case if the above still stands)

There's a couple courses of action that can be taken here, you can manually try and format the partition using parted, or it could be as easy as opening adb shell and

mke2fs -t -ext3 /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p27 /cache

i dunno, no one ever sticks around enough to try anything.

i couldnt even get someone to give me the output of

ls /dev/block
[G2 and Desire Z General] amazinglarry311:
okay so i decided to live dangerously and recreate this error on my device. I made sure the cache partition was nice and corrupted and got greeted with this wonderful message:

Now this not the same situation that ALL people are in, but in this situation i opened adb shell and typed

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

reboot recovery

everything back to normal.

Now this is ONLY if your cache partition alone is corrupted, not if the actual paritions are just gone. in that case you'd want to check /dev/block and see the partitions listed, if they are all there as they should be (mmcblk0p25 mmcblk0p26 and mmcblk0p27) you can try and do the same.

hope this helps anyone.

Some things to remember though:

/cache/recovery/command is usually only invoked if your device is not properly rooted (check the numerous droid, evo, desire threads on this, they all had to restore an official RUU and root again to fix)

if there's nothing to mount in /dev/block have a feeling this is related to the emmc not initializing, in which case... :(
[G2 and Desire Z General] lainvalenajr:
You should make your own thread. I think this will help many people. Great job bro.:)
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi !

We have to be carefull not to mix two issues here that might look similar to the user.

In both cases the recovery will give an error that it can't mount recovery.

One is that some partitions are corrupted and this can be fixed by recreating the partition as described by amazinglarry above or by reflshing the stock rom.

The second issue is that the emmc chip fails to initialize and in this case nothing can read or write the emmc. You can check if you have this case by booting into recovery and using adb to get a shell. In the shell do a "cat /proc/kmsg | grep mmc0" (i will reformat this tomorrow).

If you see messages that indicate that the emmc did not initialize, then you are in this boat.

There is currently no cure for this, but we try to find what causes this.

[G2 and Desire Z General] popokrew:
This happened to a friend's phone. I tired everything to get it fixed (I made a thread but I don't have the link) and ended up returning it to gat another one. What I'm curious about is how do you enter the partition commands? Is recovery (it was cwm 3.0.0.5 btw) able to provide adb access? If so, I was never able to get that and yes, I know how to use adb and have the drivers.
[G2 and Desire Z General] 99formulam6:
I had the same problem. I started a few threads about it as well and posted everything I did (search my username so I dont fill up the thread) and I never got it fixed. Ended up just getting a new phone instead because it seemed like no one really knew much about the error and how to fix it.

SAAADD!

mke2fs /dev/block/mmcblk0p27

reboot recovery

I have this problem (for the second time actually...I was able to fix it the first time by flashing a 2.x.x.x CWM in EBL and formating the cache in that but no such luck the second time I got this error)

Anyhow I tried the above command for all (25/26/27) and it did not fix my issue...I also tried

cat /proc/kmsg | grep mmc0

to test if I have that fail to intialize issue. But it says that isn't a valid command in adb.

Any help? Also I read flashing PMG15.IMG in EBL fixes this but when I tried that I get the Failed PU error!! I think Im screwed huh?

[G2 and Desire Z General] Shivansh:
While phone is connected to your computer and is in recovery mode try this:

adb shell <enter>

This should give you the emmc info you are after.

Hope that helps.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Kevin001111:

2) main rom: CM7. AT THE TIME OF INCIDENT: fresh, and i mean fresh install of of insert_coins 2.1/3.0 sense rom.

3)I have H-boot 0.82.0000 (and S-off of course)

4) I have done almost EVERYTHING (except partition my SD card, I'm not entirely sure how to due so, so i just leave it) in rom manager and never had a problem.

NOTABLE: When sense was automatically restoring apps none would install, then when I put the phone in standby and tryed to turn it on a second later it froze. wouldn't respond to anything, although the Menu. Home, Back, and Search key were lit up. So I had no choice but to battery pull. upon doing so i get into a bootloop. when trying to restore a backup of CM7 or Insert_coin sense 2.1/3.0. I would get the error

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/log

E:Can't open /cache/recovery/last_log

I personally already have a replacement form HTC coming but this problem bothers me because I didn't do anything , in my opinion, to trigger a /cache/recovery error. nothing! I will be following this thread because i really wanna see this issue resolved.

Kevin001111 do you still have that phone with you? If yes can you please check the emmc chip type on it?

Can you please post the output from the commands below:

1) connect the phone to your computer in recovery mode

2) adb shell <enter>

3) cat /proc/kmsg : grep mmc0

This shall help in the quest for the cause of this issue.

One thing I will add is that I had this error, and I did not use Gfree. I know the majority of people are using Gfree now, so I just wanted to confirm that you were correct in saying that it was purely a statistical effect since gfree is the most used rooting method now.

I have since gotten a new phone and got rid of the old one since I couldn't find a way to fix it. I have not rooted my new one because I wanted to see if anyone found a way to fix the errors just incase it happened again.

Can I find what emmc chip I have before I root again to see if I have the one that causes the problems?
[G2 and Desire Z General] guhl99:
Hi !

First, thanks for this posting because in trying to find the cause of a problem it is very important to falsify theories that one creates. And now we have at least one case that did not use gfree.

If still can remember could you please describe the way you rooted and which radio, hboot and rom you where using on this phone.

The command to get the name of the emmc is:

/sys/devices/platform/msm_sdcc.2/mmc_host/mmc0/mmc0:0001/name

You can run this from any shell (terminal app or adb shell) and don't need root to run it. The output should be either MT4GDE (the "bad" one) or SEM04G (the "good" one.

Had I of known what I know now, I wouldn't have done it that way. But I was new to the phone and it was easy since I didn't need ADB.

Anyway, I will link the threads I started about the issue but I was running Gingervillian 1.4 and was trying to flash CM 6.1.1 with CWM 3.0.0.5 and it gave me the cache errors and wouldn't flash the new ROM. I tried my nandroid's and they wouldn't flash either. However, flashing CM7 worked fine and I ran CM7 for about a week with zero issues. Then, randomly, the phone froze and wouldn't boot. When I went into recovery it gave me the cache errors. You can see what I ended up doing here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=992169

Here are the other threads I started about my problem. At the time, it seemed like I was one of the few people who had the problem since my searches on here and CM forum turned up basically nothing. Now, its either happening more often, or more people are asking for help than before.

1) Do you have a G2 or a DZ?

I have bricked too :-(

1) Do you have a G2 or a DZ?

I have a DZ

2) Which ROM was last running on your device?

Virtuous Sense 1.0.2

3) Do you have the ENG HBOOT installed?

No

4) Aside from using ROM Manager to flash the recovery image, did you use ROM Manager for anything else (e.g. flashing ROMS)?

No (except setting it to reboot in CWM for a nandroid recovery)

How it happened: I was downloading a game from HTC Likes via WIFI. The download died, so I rebooted. Since I had to login to the WIFI hotspot, I forced Airplane mode, because the DZ was trying to resume the download, and if I didn't do anything, the phone would freeze. So I killed the Download service. Turned off Airplane mode, and while WIFI was waking up, the phone freezed. So I removed the battery to rebooted, but *I don't know how* I got into the CWM menu with the "can't mount" messages. Now I have tried the HBoot recovery (PC10IMG.ZIP), but it failed (Fail-PU) and it's stuck at point 11) RADIO_V2

Can I turn power off? It does not move from there. Also, is there any way to enter the CWM menu from power off?

Also, all the commands sent with ADB are meant to be sent while in HBoot menu?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Nipqer:
That's pretty much what happened to me.

The adb commands are meant to be sent in recovery, which you can get to by removing PC10IMG from your sdcard and selecting recovery from hboot menu.

-Nipqer
[G2 and Desire Z General] jan_axhell:
Ok, thanks Nipqer.

Unfortunately as I reach the HBoot recovery menu, Windows asks me to install USB drivers, which are *already* installed, and refuses to recognize those in the Android SDK folder (there is an Android 1.0 device with yellow question mark in the hardware list). ADB reacts like this:

C:\android-sdk-windows\platform-tools>adb devices
* daemon not running. starting it now on port 5037 *
* daemon started successfully *
List of devices attached

It obviously worked when I rooted my phone, but now from the HBoot menu it cannot.

Do you think this is recoverable? Or should I consider replacing the phone? I'm afraid the warranty was invalidated when I rooted...
