[Defy General] Borjs85:
I can confirm this. After installing sysctl from Market and configuring min free kb param and reboot, cat /proc/sys/vm/min_free_kbytes returns 4096.

Good news :)
[Defy General] vick33:
sysctl app from market does not work for me:-) Tri it cat how i said try to change it from the app and nothing happens at all:-) I will eat my hat if it works for you that way, because then i would not have to make to autorun a script somehow to make it permanent, just click it in the app to enable. I am pretty sure thet your min_free_kbytes is still 2845:-)Please cat it i am eager to know.

edit: I installed sysctl app restarted the phone and it returns to stock:-) So the app is not working for me i am on nordic 177.

But autorun apk seems to autorun the script for. me yuwei cat it pelase? Borjs85 what firmware are you on?
[Defy General] johnw.xda:
why people don't use /system/etc/install-recovery.sh ?

instead to use app ?
[Defy General] anti-virus:
how? do I just open install-recovery.sh and copy paste the command?
[Defy General] johnw.xda:
Yes.

This is default start up script on boot up.

You need to create it.
[Defy General] kernelpAnix:
i've used yaffs-explorer's command promt to change the value. works fine since yesterday morning without rebooting.

thx :)
[Defy General] nisamtetreb:
I'm using script manager from market.
[Defy General] reinsen:
using sysctl and change seems to be permanent. rebootet several times, no problems with maps or navigation anymore :)
[Defy General] nisamtetreb:
You can test the value by typing:

su

sysctl -a | grep kbytes
[Defy General] yuwei:
I agree with you, sysctrl doesn't seem to work.

However I tried sysctl vm.min_free_kbytes last time it frozen, and it was 4096.

I can't repeat it again.
[Defy General] Nerd Rage LBC:
Sysctl Config

That was awesome, I learn something new about my phone lol.

My phone started to do the same thing, getting laggy even crashing the phone after using Maps. Then I googled "Defy freezes using maps" and woo hoo google pops up with XDA!

So I skimmed through the pages and saw chit chat for this "Sysctl Config" and downloaded it. Set su for it, opened it and the limit was 28## something, forgot already lol. I tried 4096, I saw improvements by a lot but it still froze after a bit longer. So I doubled it to 8192 and voila I'm rolling through the maps so far without a hitch. By the way, I set for boot and it saved. Think I may go 12288 or so... maybe...

My phone was nearly unusable with google maps and 3d games

Wiped 2 times without success it seems to be the solution!

Thanks
[Defy General] garazi:
Thanks a lot for this tip !!

It is working great for me !!

I used "Sysctl Config Root" and "Busybox Installer" applications from the market.

Thanks also to JRummy16, the developer.
[Defy General] nickonline:
tks guys.

I was having the same problem on my stock 2.2 rom. Goolge maps keeps FC or freeze my phone, after I uninstall a IME, the problems seems solved. And I thought that it did sloved.

But, after I change to MIUI rom, I met this problem too, not too often but it is still there. I did not have that IME(I thought it was causing problem) installed, so it is turn out that I was totally wrong before. And I have no idea to solve it at all.

Now, you guy seems to make it clear!! Cheers!!

I checked my MIUI rom, the min_free_kbytes is 4096 by default. But it still having problem, so I think change it to 8192 might be the right way to solve the problem permanently. :D

I'm testing it now, will feedback after a while.
[Defy General] vasvilla:
Hi guys, know that it's a dumb question, but is there a way to do this without rooting? I have an official 2.2 CEE update on my defy, and not sure I want to root it, and even surer that not being a pro I might brick the phone. Google maps freezing all the time, however positively drives me nuts.

Thanks!
[Defy General] Zephyrot:
I also had the same issue after updating to the official 2.2 Froyo DE. I fixed it using SetVsel app (here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=898036 )

It has an option to set vm.min_free_kbytes=4096

As well as some other neat features :P
[Defy General] nicolaide:
Problem solved here!

Nice... I download the Sysctl Config app from the market, set the value to 12288, reboot and then the value has there... The app stores the value forever and make Google Maps to work like a charm! :D
[Defy General] vap_66:
Maps version 5.8.0 works fine for my 2.2 Defy, without SysCtl.
[Defy General] Kositch:
Rooted via SuperOneClick 2.1.1, let it to install busybox. Then checked min_free_kbytes and it was 2000 and something. Then installed Sysctl Config *Root*, modified it to 4096, checked to let it after boot and now Google Maps works like a charm. No freezing, no phone restarting and it speeded up also other apps like Fruit Ninja, which sometimes freezed etc.

After boot it will pop up that Sysctl was granted SU permission, which means it modifies that value automatically after restart. Checked it via command and the value 4096 is there.
[Defy General] caraboy:
Worked! :) I used your method, but I rooted with adb, so I had to install busybox installer from the market, to install busybox 1.19. After that, Sysctl Config Root works on reboot. :)
[Defy General] Kositch:
Good to hear that, but I dont know, why Syctl sometimes launches during normal work with phone. For example, I browse the web and at the bottom of the screen appears "Sysctl was granted..."?
[Defy General] lennao:
thank you guys!!! i'v downloaded the Sysctl Config and the Busybox installer from market, set the min 4096 kbytes and the maps its working fine! \o/
[Defy General] adlx.xda:
THanks a lot, fixed and stable for me! Will add this to an update of Adlxmod, as it was really annoying!
[Defy General] TheYama:
Hi all,

I have same problem. But I think, It g.maps dooing after update - before update working correctly, without of any lag.

anyway, why I use czech map - mapy.cz no lags. ;)

I fix it by busybox and sys ctl.

thanx
[Defy General] dos5gw:
thanks, I'll try, and Google Maps goes well yet
[Defy General] dos5gw:
I think there no ";"

We can visit /system/etc/install-recovery.sh

sysctl -w vm.min_free_kbytes=4096
[Defy General] dos5gw:
I've try many version Maps, 5.8, 5.9, 6.0, 6.0.2,,,,

I've try change min_free_kbytes to 4096,

maps goes well a period of time, but when map > 40MB, maps freeze the phone again

is it occured by TF card?

[Atrix 4G General] phreak9i6:
I was unable to post in the proper thread (due to lack of posts i suppose).

I had a mostly charged (80%) battery when attempting the RSD of 1.2.6.

After many hours (and me falling asleep at my desk) I awoke to find the installation failed and the battery completely dead.

Of course it wont charge in this state so what can I do?
[Atrix 4G General] dLo GSR:
find another atrix to charge your battery in, or external battery charger, or exchange the battery at AT&T (tell them for some reason it's dead and you don't know why)
[Atrix 4G General] agrabren:
The Atrix doesn't charge while flashing, and it can't power itself off standard USB current. That's why it died.
[Atrix 4G General] drock212:
ghetto rig it lol. Strip a micro usb you don't care about touch live wires to battery electrical tape them in place and wait lol. I've done it not with an Atrix battery but I've done it and it works lol. I know ghetto but hey if it works right lol

thats just my 2 cents

I do several thousand dollars a month is sales using Square. It works great.Not sure why you would "buy it" at the Apple store though. If you go to their website and sign up (Free) they send you a free reader. I guess the cost of the gas to run over to the Apple store so you can fondle an iPad 2 is worth it for some people. :)
[Xoom Accessories] s.t.s:
You pay $10 for the reader and get $10 Credit voucher for Square so it is the same really.

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
after i rooted my phone, i pluged in my device into the computer and click mass storage. but it dosent show up on my computer. i havent changed anything on my computer so it could be something on the phone? would usb debugging make a difference cause i have that turned off?

is it the drivers are no longer on my computer?
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
first thing, try rebooting your phone and computer. also make sure that your memory card is mounted (settings>sd and phone storage). secondly, are you SURE that the computer isnt recognizing it as a drive? Co to My Computer so you can see a list of available drives and see if its in there. Sometimes you wont get the popup on your screen.

Drivers normally wont just disappear unless there was some type of system error. You can also go into device manager and make sure that it shows up when the phone is plugged in. If that doesnt fix it to avoid a long drawn out troubleshooting thread, try picking a day before you rooted and go to system restore and select a recent restore point. If you do that and it still doesnt correct the problem, then it may be time to troubleshoot the phone

and USB debugging wont stop your computer mounting your phone as a drive. When you pull down the notifications panel once plugged in, you should still see the option to use a USB drive whether USB debugging is enabled or not
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] rickyy00:
Thanks man yea I figured it out the system fixed the drivers so it connected
[Streak 5 General] nothgd:
I rooted my dell streak and have a streakdroid rom on it. I wanted to restore back to the stock rom 2.2.2. I try to flash the stock rocovery image using the "Guide to Upgrading and Downgrading the Streak". But then I stuck at step 8, Now navigate to the fastboot.exe file with the cd command. How can I navigate to the folder? now my phone got stuck at the dell logo. please link me all the files that I need. I just got my dell streak for 2 days, now I have no phone to use. pls help me to get my phone working again. thanks in advance.

[Streak 5 General] nothgd:
I already try mulitrecovery. not working.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
fastboot.exe is on your PC, not the phone. For example, assuming the PC is running Windows, if fastboot.exe was in a directory named "Streak" on hard drive C, you would open up a command prompt and type the following commands in the command prompt window:

cd..

cd..

cd Streak

NOTE: The two "cd.." commands are because the command prompt in Windows opens up by default in the directory C:\Users\Username. Since the Streak directory in the example is in the root of the hard drive, it's necessary to change directory in this fashion. I'm not aware of a quicker way.

The prompt in the command window should read "C:\Streak >" after all this. Fire up your phone at this point and put it into fastboot mode, then connect it to the PC. Then execute the fastboot commands given to you in the how to.
[Streak 5 General] bravebull:
In windows, you can go straight to the folder where you have fastboot and/or adb commands and just hold down the shift key and right click the mouse. From the drop down menu choose "Open command window here". Saves you from having to issue the cd commands to navigate to the right folder.
[Streak 5 General] Strephon Alkhalikoi:
Didn't think there was a keyboard shortcut for that. I simply used Tweak UI to activate the option as a permanent menu choice.
[Streak 5 General] cdzo72:
Dude your best option is just to use the QDL tool IMHO
[Streak 5 General] ru_ready:
I ran into this same problem. I tried QDL. It did it's thing but I was still stuck at the Dell logo. I ended up using Multirecovery. I flashed it to 351. I downloaded the 351 firmware and put it onto my sd card. Luckly I had an adapter so I was able to put the file on the sd with my computer. Then boot the phone into recovery and follow the prompts.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] pettigrew95:
I have had the phone since release day on the 20th and have had none of these problems *knocks on wood* although I did come across something really weird. I had the phone in my pocket and I don't know if I accidentally turned it on or whatever but I took it out of my pocket at one point and it was kind of hot on the back. When I hit the power button I got nothing so I had to battery pull and then power it on and that worked. When it booted the battery was under 5% (battery was over 50% when I initially put it in my pocket which was only about an hour or so when I noticed it was off and felt hot). So I plugged it in charged it back to 100% and have been fine since that. Has anyone else had this happen to them?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] EDemerzel:
Nice work on getting this thread started. Is there any way you can also put links to the threads that these issues are talked about? I would be great to be able to read the thread easily if you have that issue with your phone. May help the devs find things easier too!

It will also do it if I hold when flipping between home screens. Does anyone else have this issue?
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xeyro:
Please forgive my ignorance if these aren’t really bugs or are simply repeats of the above, but I discovered two new items with both my wife and my G2x’s that I’d like some feedback on.

I had zero data in WI tonight where T-mobile shows as having data coverage. The phone display shows that I am connected to AT&T for voice with a GPRS signal. Additionally, neither navigation or Google maps give me my location when both of these features had worked when I had data.

I’d be interested in learning if these items are actually bugs of if they are simply related to the available networks and G2x hardware. If bugs, does it sound like they could be fixed through a software update?

Thanks in advance.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] jrwingate6:
I have 2 more bugs to add. Both of them being pretty damn major.

1. Once you leave a 4G tower it will not downgrade to 3G or Edge for data but voice will still work. The 4G icon is still there but you will have no data connection. In order to get your data working again you have to manually disable then re-enable it through network settings.

2. After removing the device from my pocket, it is in car mode. (Had to freeze the app so it stopped)

One other minor bug people are experiencing is upon awaking the device it will flash your home screen before your lock screen.

I can't see myself keeping this device after the sensation comes out. In my opinion, the G2x is possibly the buggiest device I have ever had and was not ready for launch. I will keep exchanging my G2x until I get one that works 100%.

By the way, I had to freeze "My Account" app and "Wifi Calling" because they were accessing data constantly.

OP Updated!

Thanks for posting Xeyro, few questions for you,

Did you had a T-Mobile phone before and did you used in this area?

Was it 4G? If yes, where you able to connect fine to the network?

If your answers are yes then your G2x should be connecting just fine as well if not then there is a glitch/bug with the phone. Try rebooting to see if that helps.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xeyro:
Figured it out; user error. Apparently there's a check-box in the wireless and network settings to allow data roaming. Apparently this box is unchecked by default, and checking the box has restored data connection to the phone.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xeyro:
Thanks for the response Moshe.

Looks like we were posting at about the same time, but I figured out my error. The phones are set by default to not allow data roaming, and you have to manually make the change in the settings. Everything seems to be working as expected at this point.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] dasbin:
If I understood your problem correctly, that is no fix at all. Data roaming is turned off by default because data roaming charges are massive. The reason it started 'working' is because you allowed the phone to roam data over the AT&T network instead of connecting to tmobile towers. Watch out because your next bill is going to be a whopper.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] Xeyro:
Thanks for the heads up dasbin. I decided to give T-Mobile a call to make sure I wasn't being charged an arm and a leg and this is what I learned.

The T-mobile coverage in this area is actually provided through 3rd party networks, so while the maps show data coverage, it may not be T-mobile directly providing the data. Therefore, the option to roam data needs to be turned on. T-mobile only charges for international data roaming, so there are no extra fees as this is how the network is designed to work.

I think then the "bug" isn't as much of a bug as an understanding that the phone is not configured by default to allow non T-mobile data networks. I wonder how often this has caused some of the dropping of data that others have experienced?

You should include the Media Scanner bug.

If I put any substantial amount of media (more than 3mp3s) on my sd card, media scanner glitches and never finishes scanning, making camera, music, video, gallery, etc unusable.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] davehasninjas:
Yea, same here, and when I have some free time I want to look at the kernal source, I'm thinking the frezzing/rebooting is caused by it, its acting the same as my mt4g did using custom kernals until those were fixed, so I think once we can get some custom kernals out we'll be good to go on that issue.

STill no UI sounds etc.appears as if there was not a factory reset. I am inclined to believe that it is a factious reading. Perhaps I held the 3 button combo to long or not long enough. I would greatly appreciate it if someone who has done the factory reset would furnish some info on how long you hold the buttons down. I read in this thread to hold until firmware screen comes up which I take iit to mean the G2 screen Any and all help is greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

As far as I know some phones can recognize docking (vs. just regular charging) and can be configured for certain actions such as launching Desk Clock or Car Panel application.

Are there any docks on the maret for Inspire / DHD that would be recognized by our phones as such?

If yes then does anybody know how the phone recognizes docking?

Is there a magnet somewhere or a special USB cable used?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gmurphy0487:
There is an app called plug in launcher that you can configure to launch whatever app you want when you connect the phone to charge. It will do exactly what you are looking for. I use this app and as soon as i plug my phone in to charge it launches the desk clock.

It can also be configured for launching a certain app when you plug in a headset or connect it to a computer.
