This folder is generated by default. This will contain any corrupted files that you may have on Internal and external SD cards. This should be quite harmless. It usually gets created when you reboot your phone or you remove the phone from USB storage mode.

Sorry for not answering the question to the point. But you can safely ignore it.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faria:
As the above poster said ,it is always there it cannot be deleted, but you can and should delete any files on however.

If the files keep appering after a reboot that means you may have problems with your filesystem, the most common cause of files inside that folder is when you remove or don't unmount the cards before unplugin them.

When the phone boots it checks the file system, if it finds any corrupted file they get moved to that folder,thin of it as Chkdsk for windows.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] laffaner:
Hi,

I installed WP7 on my HD2 a couple of months ago and all has been going well (except for the reboot issue which is a known SD card problem!!). However since yesterday I have been unable to access any of the contacts on my phone.

When on the home screen, if I select the "people" widget I get a blank screen for a second then it returns me to the home screen. If I try to send a message and type in the persons name in my contact list, no matches are displayed in the To bar. I have tried different ways to access my people contacts but it always returns me to the home screen?!?!

The annoying thing is I know my contacts are still on the phone. When I get a phone call/text message it displays my contacts name on the screen?!?!

Has anyone ever come across this error before and if so how do i get around it???

Cheers,

Colin

I am having this same issue as well. This is my second time having this problem. First time I managed to fix it by pulling everything out of my phone and reinserting them (sd, SIM, battery). Now everything I try doesn't seem to work either. I might just have to re-flash.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
its probably worth reflashing, try using a different SD card or for a quick test reflash without the SD card, you wont be able to install much and it will be slow but it will give you an idea if its the SD or not

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kao_u20i:
Hi all,

I have a mini pro/U20i running Eclair, specs as follows;

Firmware: 2.1-update1

Baseband: M76XX-TSNCJOLYM-53404006

Kernel: 2.6.29

Build no: 2.0.A.0.504

Rooted, xrecovery installed

I'm looking to upgrade to the latest stable android version available for my phone, but must admit the in-depth tech talk does go over my head a little when looking at the ROM threads. I have enough tech savvy to be able to flash etc, but not too great with the programming speak.

I'd like to ensure that bluetooth, wireless, root, gprs etc are all 100% working on the ROM I upgrade to. Not bothered about radio or anything you can get an alternative of from the market.

From what I've seen gingerbread is available but not yet 100% functional, and I know there are stable Froyo versions available however the requirements state the baseband as above, but ending in 53404015 is required.

Is there considerable risk flashing a ROM if my baseband is slightly different?

I'm particularly looking for stable multitouch too, but the thread I read says manual edit of .sh and .prop files must be done - and I don't know how to do this :(

Dev and user opinions would be muchly appreciated.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] chrisnkazz:
Hi you will need the newer baseband just update with seus then you will need to reroot and install xrecovery again then once you have done that go to this thread ( http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1059361 ) its the most stable I think and dual touch is included so no messing around

Hope this helps you :-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] greves1:
just use the flasher and baseband files from the baseband thread. much faster and easier than using seus and rooting again. just put the rom you want on with xrec, pull the battery out, flash, and youre done! shouldnt take more than 10 minutes once you know what youre doing!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
For me, using SEUS is safer, even if I have to root and install xRecovery again.

I you want the most stable ROM with all functions working, you have to choose CM6-MiniCM hybrid noOC from Slade.

I'm using that ROM since he released it and never had a reboot, and everything is working.

If you have stock rom, you should format SD card.

Temes
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] riesan:
yeah using SEUS is better... and you can reflash after you update using it....

after root and xrec, just make a backup on xrec so you can reflash to 2.1 back... and dont waste time on reflash+root+xrec again.... i did that save lots of time

ps: make sure full wipe+dalvic clear before restore backup... ^^
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
Yeah, I did it too, but never needed that backup :D I flashed with SEUS last, when I first updated to slade's ROM :)

Temes
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] leftAlone:
Cyanogen Froyo CM6-Latest (based on MiniCM/CM6v2) - v2.0 + DualTouch is the most stable ROM for me. Just flash using SEUS or flasher to get the required baseband.

I recommend using the flasher because it helps you understand the flashing process. Just follow the tutorial. :D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kao_u20i:
Thanks for all your help guys, that's helped me out no end :D

I am now the proud owner of an x10mp android 2.2.1 (went with Slade's ROM - big thumbs up, it's beautiful!!)

I have one final question.. when I installed the last ROM I had, I used flashtool, so doing it with xrec was a new experience for me... I did notice that before it installed the rom, it said 'formatting /system' or words to this effect.

I need to install the two hotfixes that are posted with the rom - the drain and browser ones... do I package the files within these zips into an update.zip and run again from xrec or can I transfer the updated system files just using root explorer? I'm worried that xrec will take the update.zip as a full rom and will delete the contents of my system folder - please reassure me this isn't the case and it will just update with newer files!

MANY thanks again for your help and advice!
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] hansip87:
Just use each from xrec, it will replace some file but it won't format your system, only the big release file does that (100MB++).
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] temes:
It depends what formatted, deleted or owerwrited on update script. Don't worry, slade knows what he's doing :)

Anyway DON'T TRY TO FORMAT YOUR SYSTEM WITHOUT INSTALLING NEW ROM!!!

Just always follow install notes and everything will be fine.

Temes
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kao_u20i:
Right then, an update (excuse the pun!)

I followed SEUS to get the xx 4015 baseband

I flashed Slade's noOC rom and then hotfixes using xrecovery

I now have a happy 2.2.1 android mini pro with multitouch!

At first, it was a little slow and I had a few blank screens and FCs....

Screen brightness was very low even when I was actively using the phone, so I unchecked the auto display option and set a brightness I'm happy with. Sorted!

With Titanium I restored my backups, including my wifi connections. Saves having to re-enter all the passwords right? Wrong!

I had a number of connection issues. Data was very slow, to slow to even register my google account on market. Wifi wouldn't load market or bring up anything in the browser...

When I did establish a fast enough data connection, market was completely out of sync with my phone apps.

Turns out the data connection just needed to 'warm up' along with the new android system. As for the wifi, I removed all my connections with the 'forget' option, and manually scanned and entered the passwords again. Now my wifi flies :D

So all in all, a very smooth upgrade process, a couple of hiccups with the data/wifi and brightness that have been ironed out, and now I am loving my new android again. The multitouch is very slick and having superuser, jit and xrec preinstalled is just brilliant! Games are lag free too which makes a big difference (yep, I'm an Angry Bird club member)

Think I've made my iphone user hubby a bit jealous. I like to remind him every now and then that apple have him by the balls, and he has to buy a whole new phone to do any update such as the one I've just done (again :D:D)

The battery drains a little quicker than on the previous rom, but I expect that will settle down after a few days. One thing I have noticed is that I'm repeatedly ending apps with ATK that I hadn't even opened - on my last rom I'd never see anything that I hadn't opened myself.

An example being, just opened ATK and I have the following running;

APN OnOff

Gmail

Maps

None of these I've opened since I last ran ATK :confused: Other repeat offenders are Browser, google search and camera,

Any ideas? WhatsApp used to open randomly until I moved it to the SD card. It's behaving itself now.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] consegregate:
Don't need to use taskkillers in 2.2.1, android handles battery quite efficiently.

Battery increase is due to overclocking and because it's a custom rom. :)

Hope that helps.

XDA ♥
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] kao_u20i:
My battery life has stabilised now. Took phone off charge about 8.30 am and now, 1.30pm it's at 83%, so can't complain

I find apps such as maps and google voice/search do drain the memory quite a bit so still prefer to use atk. Just opened atk to find I have;

maps

handcent

apn OnOff

gmail

google voice

ROM manager (I've never opened this since installing the rom)

calendar

camera

all running and memory at 41M. Killed apps and memory now at 71M

Is there a way to stop these apps from randomly running? Apart from a calendar alert for today, I haven't manually opened anything from the list

cheers,

Sorry for ignorance:

Can I flash a rom and do all the nec. stuff from Ubuntu? Or will I need Window$ to flash a mini pro?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] consegregate:
It's normal to have applications taking up memory. It is so that it will be speedy in opening those apps so try not to use a taskkiller. The only time these idle apps use battery is when there is CPU usage: so check with your spare parts. If they don't use CPU, no need to kill.

If you're insistent that the apps are frustratingly persistent, then freeze the app using titanium backup. Note that freezing certain system apps may cause problems eg freeze google talk and market won't work.

Try at your own risk.

[Off-topic] iammodo:
I've been playing Paradise island for about a week now.

I'm loving it.

So thought I would share some tips and hopefully get some back.

Currently I am level 12.

When starting the game best things to do.

build 40 roads ( or 400 if you are bored)

This gives you a free $1250 plus 40xp

leave the screen on for 3

This gives you $5000

Plant 5 flowers ( costs $1500)

gives you $3000 plus 200 XP

Move your first buildings 20 times

gives you £1500 and 50xp

This means you start the game with an extra $9250 and 290xp

Once you are high enough level get a business centre you get 1 of the special money every day save that up for expansions.

Odd achievements

Do 5 things in a moment.

I spent ages trying to collect money as fast as i could.

For this you need to pay the extra and do a instant build.

Secret achievements I have

Stop the hum/rumble ( cant remember the name it changes once you get it)

move to solar power only.

Hotdog fan

$4000 200xp

Build 15 hotdog stands

Atristocrat

Build 3 golf clubs at the same time

$75000 1250xp

We remember about the defender

Build two hold defenders simultaneously

$30000 and 1500xp

Hope people can add to this and it doesn't just get lost in the void.
[Off-topic] gagan007:

I have also started playing the game recently but got bored by having to move those buildings and making roads :(

Also hotdog stands are great at the start only give you $70 but you get one XP every 2 mins. So.have like 10 and you will level up much faster.

To add to the "hidden message" in the OP:

If you use the system clock to advance the time, you will notice that if you advance it a week, you have to wait a week for the game to catch up to it before you can play normally again. However, there is a way around this.

All you have to do is put something in storage and place it back on the map. Once you do that, the clock resets on that building and you don't have to wait for the game to catch up to the date that you advanced it to. However, you would have to place every individual building in storage and back on the map in order to reset everything on the map. This can get annoying once you expand a few regions and you have a bunch of buildings, so keep that in mind.

LOL. Use Gamecih2. Better than spend real money to buy fake money from them. This game is a scam.

Here, follow my instructions step by step just dont skip any steps. Should be fool-proof.

1. Install gamecih2 from market.

2. Launch gamecih2 > click the ads in the bottom of gamecih2 > view ads in browser for 10 seconds (dont do anything, just view it) > exit browser {these steps to make gamecih2 useable} (if you cant see the ads, uninstall adfree. Dont worry you can install it back later)

3. Set hotkey in gamecih2, the letter should be red now.

4. Press home > launch Paradise Island.

5. When playing Paradise Island, press hotkey > tap 1.input > key in your current money.

6. Result should has "a:#your_money#"

7. Tap it, tap related. Now you should see your money, piastres, experience, shown by letter eg; "f:####"

8. Now you can modify the value, see if the value shown same as your played/current value, then tap it, modify.

9. Press options key, tap sop Gamecih2 to exit. Or just press back key.

Done!

Does my post break xda rules? I hope not because i just teach people how to use a free app from market.

[General Questions and Answers] twisted-pixel:
hi peoples.....

well..it's been about a year since I last posted anything in this forum..and I can see it's had a make over too...very nice

well..the time has come for me to think about making the move back to HTC after having several, but making the jump to an iphone last year.

I've always been a massive HTC fan and so far, always been windows. My last phone (the HD2) was great but as HTC's first attempt at a capacitive screen, it was awful to use!!

I'm sure things have come a loooong way since then, but as I've been out of the loop I am a bit lost.

I've been looking at the new HTC Sensation, and although this runs android (of which I have exactly zero experience) I'm liking the specs a lot!!

The iphone has an incredible interface, very easy to use, and the screen is a joy to use. However, I'm getting increasingly frustrated by Apples attempts to lock down the OS (why can't I have the phone behave the way I want it to, not the way Steve Jobs wants it to), and it's inability to do anything unless it somehow has a connection to a server somewhere.

My Windows phone used to store all emails locally and could bring them up in a flash for example...the iphone seems to take an age, and I could tweak just about anything without having to go through a complicated jailbreaking process....or I could move things on the phone with having to use itunes all the time. I'm not going to compare the phones since they each do some things brilliantly, and some things badly...you can't compare oranges and apples..

I seem to be ranting on a bit though...so to the crux of my question...

being out of the loop, I have no idea what phones are what these days, and apart from the sensation, should I be considering anything else? Prefer a windows based phone as that's what I've used to in the past, but why not android?

what do people think?

I may be back to XDA Developers very very soon....

Its just cache of icons even if u delete it it will come back..

But I hate the way android impliments apps folder creation directly too the root of sdcard. I think there should b some hack so that apps folders (folders created by apps for cache and stuff) are in one sub folder.. like a symbolic link.

Thanks for the info, dude. And, you are really right about folders issue. Very nagging. Even more nagging is the fact, these folders do not go away even with uninstal of app. Have to delete them individually.
