Make a Nandroid backup with CWM using the backup and restore option. Then do a wipe of all of your partitions using wipe partitions in CWM. Then try to flash the new ROM, if you get the same error messages just go to backup and restore and restore your ROM with the Nandroid backup you made.

You also might want to reflash CWM if you get the error messages again.

I can't. I have magldr on my HD2, and when I go to Ad recovery so CWR loads. It doesn't. All it says is invalid image boot header. Cause I tried doing a backup through ROM manager, then I tried flashing a new ROM, that's when I started having problems with the error messages.

[Nook Color General] Julian2103:
Hey guys,

I'm interested in getting a 32gb card. I will be watching movies off it and just basically reading books. Is there a huge diff between the two? I googled and I found the diff write and read speeds but my question is how relevant is it to the user? Like will the movies be choppier or books open slower? etc:)
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
Sadly, to throw a wrench in your question, there is authority behind the class markings. Basically, there is nothing stoping makers for marking a card Class 10, even when it can barely do 1MB/s writes. So, how does that answer your question?

It comes down to brand. Sandisk by far makes the best microSD cards, which almost always outperform their rating. I have an 8Gb Class 2, that constantly benches at 5MB/s sustained write, and 12MB/s sustained read. I also have an 8GB Kingston clas4, that can barely hold 2MB/s write, if it is lucky. The other issue few talk about is random reads, where again, the Sandisk is much faster (and random reads are not part of the class specifications)..

So, if you get a decent brand (again, Sandisk), a class 2 should be suitable for all music, and most movies. If you can afford it, class 4 will give you wiggle room.
[Nook Color General] Julian2103:
How about adata? Have you had any experience with them?
[Nook Color General] Divine_Madcat:
personal experience no, but i haven't heard alot bad (actually, better than Kingston in many cases). I know they have decent prices on their cards.

With what i was saying before, it is fair to mention that while slow, my Kingston does still work. But saving things to it was painful, and so i avoid its use. Even if you don't get the fastest card, i think the biggest pain will be filling it once.. after that, using it should be ok..
[Nook Color General] Julian2103:
I see. What about the performance? Saving stuff to it isnt much of an issue to me I think. Im more concerned on the performance. Like running movies off it and launching programs etc:) the sandisk sounds awesome but the price is much higher
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
For the use you are planning(movies) the big factor will be sequential read speeds. The class system is too easy for the manufacturers to game. Check the specs for the card you are looking at...if they don't tell you, it's likely because they suck. Sandisk class 2 cards are, as stated, usually better than the class 2 they are rated.
[Nook Color General] Julian2103:
so you guys would recommend a class 2 32gb sandisk over a class 4 adata card of the same size yeah?
[Nook Color General] deadbot1:
Can't really say one way or the other. From reading reviews at Newegg...seems like Adata tech support might be a bit iffy...then again those reviews are usually posted by those who have issues or feel like they have to defend their purchase(ie...fanboi's).

One thing I can see for myself...Adata is the only manufacturer on Newegg to actually list their full specs. Even on the manufacturers pages...only Adata has manned up and posted specs. otherwise they all just fall back on the SDHC specifications for class...which as stated can be gamed a bit.

At the end of it all..it's your cash...spend it the way you feel like...do some research for yourself first.
[Nook Color General] mycomputerisjunk:
I have a scandisk class 4 32GB and it is way slower then a smaller class 6 that I have. For me, I don't think I could stomach anything slower then the class 4 for large files.
[Nook Color General] pixeljunk:
Sandisk is great. I was originally running Nookie Froyo from a class 2 Sandisk. It was actually pretty solid. I moved up to a Transcend class 6 and it's been good too. Both seem to perform well over their class specification when I'm transferring files and have been very stable.

On the other hand, my friend has a Kingston class 10 which seems pretty buggy. A lot of force close errors, looping boots, etc. Though these could just be a coincidence. Haven't seen him transfer any files though, so I can't judge the speed.
[Nook Color General] docfreed:
SD Cards..

You should be aware that Sandisk, Adata and others do not actually manufacture flash memory chips, they mostly package and test it - the big boys in the game are Intel, Samsung, Toshiba and Hynix. Depending on where or from whom Sandisk buys the basic chip the specs may be different.
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
Actually there is a requirement if you're in the SD Association. But in reality anyone can stamp a C10 on a card, especially no-name brands.

Absolutely. AData are junk in my experience.

Kingston and SanDisc are the only ones that are reliable for all devices that I've owned. Others are hit and miss, PARTICULARLY Patriot. I've had 3 Patriot cards that were JUNK in most devices. I had two Patriot SD cards for a camera that were fine but couldn't work right in anything else, and I (stupidly) purchased an 8G uSD card a few years ago for a phone and it was junk there, and I've periodically tried it in new devices for giggles and it's been junk in every single one.

I'll bet a SanDisc C4 out classes any other brand C10 in device like a phone or tablet.

Side note: All 3 Patriot's work just fine on my computer. I did tests particuarlly on the 8G uSD over and over and over and it was fast and reliable in my card reader. Every device locks up or goes slow as hell if it's in 'em. My guess is that they didn't follow specs closely.
[Nook Color General] I Am Marino:
So a Sandisk Class 4, 8GB would be a good pick?
[Nook Color General] skeeterpro:
I recently bought this on and have found it to be an excellent performer. Loading/watching mp4 movies. The 30 day return window is pretty generous.

[Nook Color General] findmike:
SD cards are a complicated topic... not to throw another wrench into the system but you also want to be careful WHERE you buy your card. SanDisk counterfeiting is RAMPANT since a vendor can take a blank card, less than a pennies worth of ink and then charge you some percentage of the SanDisk price while still reaping a huge profit. As unfortunate as it is, real SanDisk cards always seem to just work while the other cheaper cards can be hit or miss. Honestly though the only real problem with off brand cards and the NC I have had is that they don't always boot so good. So I use my SanDisk 8GB C2 (bought from Costco) to boot and my Patriot 16GB C10 to watch movies and store stuff. Buying from Retail, Newegg, or Amazon (Amazon itself, not a sold through vendor on Amazon) should help make sure whatever you buy is the real thing. Good Luck!

[General Questions and Answers] tamarw:
I've been searching for a real answer to this question high and low... and yet the answer doesn't seem sufficient.

I am using the stock Gmail app (2.2). I'm trying to get push emails -- but it doesn't push, mostly because it doesn't seem that my account syncs very often even with auto-sync turned on. For example, I went to the Account window at 2:58pm, and it said the last sync was at 2:33pm, so I wasn't getting "push" email in the interim at all.

How do I consistently ensure that my Gmails arrive regularly and avoid this sync issue that obviously isn't a real "push"? I can't be getting emails on my phone 25 minutes after they're sent. And there's no way to set the frequency apparently, at least not with the Gmail app.
[General Questions and Answers] tamarw:
So does the lack of response mean that nobody knows the answer? Surely I can't be the only one this is affecting.
[General Questions and Answers] maersi:
You are not alone ;-)

I am having the same issues today, (I flashed and unofficial version of gingerbread on my Desire yesterday)

With Android 2.2, I had no problems, I have no idea what the sync frequency was, but it seemed adequate. With Android 2.3, I am having the same kind of issues. My laptop knows I have new mail, but my phone doesn't.

If it is not possible to find out or update the sync frequency, then there are some gmail notifier apps in the market which may provide an acceptable solution.
[General Questions and Answers] tamarw:
Interesting, this was a problem for me always (2.1 and now 2.2). I thought it was attributed to the internal Android sync which seems to me to occur every 30 minutes (even though the "auto sync" checkbox should mean a little more frequently, no)?

What Gmail notifier apps would you recommend, and do they bypass the internal "Accounts and sync" settings? That's not the ideal solution at all, but I'll take it if it means my Android will check emails more frequently -- like as they arrive.
[General Questions and Answers] Jejja80:
Hi,

[General Questions and Answers] jethro650:
Possibly a stupid question, but, on your main accounts and sync page, do you have "background data" checked? I have that checked and auto-sync checked and I get my G-Mail on my phone about 10 seconds after I get it on my desktop. Just asking because I don't see that mentioned anywhere here. BTW--I am running CM7.
[General Questions and Answers] maersi:
I have Background data, and Auto-sync both ticked. I have now been waiting several hours for emails (that I know are waiting) to appear - they haven't, so I'm not even getting 30 minute responses.

The "Sync all" button has no effect either, so I guess that my problem is different :(

That is using 2 gmail accounts, both correctly setup - in theory.
[General Questions and Answers] maersi:
OK, my problem is fixed. I switched off auto-sync, then I was able to manually sync everything: mail,calendar,contacts,books. I then switched auto sync back on, and now I am being notified of email from all sources in 2-3 minutes.
[General Questions and Answers] tamarw:
Yup, Background data is on. maersi - this might be my issue. Trying it and will see what happens.

I really like the sense launcher from the leaked gingerbread rom, having the app list sorted out , also the scrolling is pretty nice so i dont want to give it and install launcherpro or adw launcher, all i want is :

1. Replace the customize launcher on the dock and instead get a sms launcher or whatsapp launcher, also the phone launcher takes too much space, the ideal thing would be having 5 launchers in the dock

2. Chose the number of screens, how can stock android have this and not sense? i just use 5 homescreens of 7

happened to me last night at the gym... it kept going into car mode, and finally I came to the conclusion it was the magnetic snap on the holster...

[T-Mobile LG G2x] Mangraa:
Be wary of magnets & battery!

I have a friend who had a Droid (original), which also used the presence of a magnet to go into car mode. His battery life started going down the tubes when he got a magnetic-closure type holster for it (this was before he/we figured out what was going on).

However, he also experienced some MAJOR issues with his battery not long after. Meaning the battery would seem to do ok until about 40%, then start dropping like crazy. Juiceplotter would show it going from 20% to 5% in 30 minutes, no reporting by android in between, etc.

I didn't research it TOO much (wasn't my phone heh), but a cursory search showed some people had issues with magnetic cases and their batteries going to hell. I'm assuming that the magnet in the car dock is very weak and in just the right spot to trigger the car app, but a magnetic case (unless made FOR the G2X BY LG, so they would know about the issue and where to place the magnet) might end up having some effect on your battery. Or it might not. I'm no expert, but just check out the potential battery issues if you stick with a magnetic case.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] bazbob:
Blackberry's have had magnetic cases for years and have been very reliable. I don't know if the magnet would have an adverse affect on the battery itself. The magnet could affect the cell phone's antenna and thus attenuate the signal so that the phone has to increase power to stay in contact with the tower. And although the battery may drain quicker because of that, it wouldn't make it a long term problem unless you consider faster power drain cause the battery to wear out quicker. Good to know and a good experiment to try with the "Battery Monitor Widget".
[T-Mobile LG G2x] windy4eva:
exact problem

read this and done a little testing. it seems the sensor is to the right of the camera (if you are looking that the phone's back vertically) or at where the hour digit is displayed on the lock screen. magnet clasps should not be a problem by theory if you don't put that part of the phone there and the magnets are relatively weak.

Strange cause I have a heavy earth magnet and went all around it and got nothing. I THOUGHT I did this on stock but it could have been cm7.
