[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chetanthaker:
Hi All

I've posted this on the CM forums, but I thought I would get better help here

Link to the original post in the CM forums -> http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/22941-nandroid-backup-freezes-on-clockworkmod-never-completes/

So I was flashing the final version of Cyanogenmod (7.0.2.1) last week and I thought I'd back up my device before doing it - Since CWM3 always gave me an issue, I'm currently on Amon_RA 2.2.1 (I think that's the version)

Turns out, that Nandroid just freezes when it is backing up a file in sd-ext

It's called #10956 (yes, including the quotes)

Just struck an idea that I could just go to Root Explorer and delete that file (knowing the consequences could be catastrophic)

So I kick started Root Explorer and mounted my device as Read/Write

I went to /sd-ext/lost+found and I saw that the file #10956 was 3076.00 GB - Yes, that is GB - But the file could never be deleted

I'm assuming that the file is corrupt and that's causing my Nandroid backups to freeze and never complete.

Any way how I could get rid of this file? Ofcourse, I'll be going into Amon_RA recovery and performing a backup before deleting that file

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks!

[edit: I have a 8GB class 10 Transcend MicroSDHC. Amon_RA never failed a Nandroid backup for me. It's only Clockworkmod - I've tried the older versions of CWM, and the backup never finishes. I'm forced to use Amon_RA instead]

Note:

I've tried sticking the SDCard on my Windows 7 box, but since /sd-ext is a partition instead of a folder, I cannot even see that partition

I had partitioned my card with CWM3.x - This was way back when I was on CM7 RC1 or RC2. However after partitioning, Nandroid never froze, so I'm assuming that stuff went wrong sometime later

I understand that a lot of folks are having issues with CWM3.x and are using older versions or using Amon_RA - My question is how do I get rid of that file "#10956" from the /sd-ext/lost+found directory? Since I think deleting that file might cause some issues in the future, but atleast my Nandroid will finish

Either UFS explorer (not free, but works great) or

DiskInternals Linux Reader (free, but i've never used it http://www.diskinternals.com/linux-reader/)

Either one of these should get you access to the EXT partition via your card reader/windows pc.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You could also just connect your phone to Linux PC, and mount USB - it'll also mount EXT partition to the Linux PC, and you'll be able to use Linux disk tools on it.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studio42:
Connect your phone to a computer with linux, then you see both partitions when you mount. It's easy to get it running with a LiveUSB setup like this #2 here http://www.ubuntu.com/download/ubuntu/download

The Window$ DiskInternals Ext2/3/4 trial could also be enough to let you delete the file.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
I discovered a weird little thing with my touchscreen a while back and I was wondering if anyone can replicate this. I would like to know if I'm alone on this issue or if anyone else can replicate this.

The issue is that when my Atrix is sitting on a FLAT surface (i.e. table, desk), the touchscreen works perfectly.

When the Atrix is laying on a SOFT surface (couch, bed, pillow), the screen becomes unresponsive.

If anyone could download a multitouch app (search "multitouch" on Market - Multitouch Tester is a nice one) and try this out, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!!
[Atrix 4G General] guidoido004:
O.O strange man, are you using the original ROM?
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
lol something similliar happens to me, i think its just that it looses proper contact when its on a soft surface...
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Thanks for the reply, guys.

I wonder if anyone is able to not repl. icate this..

Im not in stock ROM atm, but this happens after a fresh sbf flash as well.

Anyone not able to do this?
[Atrix 4G General] bigdee33:
Yeah I noticed this a few weeks back when i was lying in the bed trying to browse the internet. Every time i attempted a one finger scroll, it kept registering it as a two finger pinch-to-zoom.

This happens to me on retail stock 1.26, 1.57, and 1.83
[Atrix 4G General] Inspiredwire:
It's probably just sleepy.
[Atrix 4G General] Tao_Man:
I can not duplicate it, I downloaded a multitouch tester and tried it on various sofas, chairs,and pillows, and did not notice any strange behavior.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Thanks again for the replies, guys! :)

Tao Man, thanks for trying to replicate this phenomenon.

I really appreciate it!

Now I know that this is not a "feature" of the Atrix.

A similar feature that does happen across all of the Atrix devices is when you hold your finger for 10+ seconds on the same spot on the screen, the touch will stop registering and the screen will malfunction until the finger is lifted off the screen. :mad:
[Atrix 4G General] Tylerjd:
Before 83, this would happen to me all of the time, but now on 83, my Atrix is superduper responsive on all surfaces :D

[Atrix 4G General] Obscene Topiary:
This becomes a particular problem for me while I'm using touchscreen controls in various emulators, although it doesn't seem to happen when I'm using a virtual joystick with only one finger on the screen at a time, i.e. while playing Dodge This in PewPew. It's worst in racing games where I'm holding down the accelerator button almost constantly while moving the virtual joystick at the same time. I'm using the 2.3.4 HKTW ROM; is this a physical problem with the touchscreen, or might it be resolved in a future software/firmware update?
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
From what I've read on the Motorola Forums, it's supposed to be a "feature" that helps users.

It SOMEWHAT makes sense, but the real problem here is that there should be a feature where the user can turn this off.

I don't believe it will be changed with any official software/firmware updates from Motorola. We are stuck :(
[Atrix 4G General] jarsh92:
My phone did the same thing on soft surfaces. Now my touchscreen went bad and I have to get a replacement.
[Atrix 4G General] wirednix:
Thanks for letting me know, jarsh92.

Hopefully, if mine does go bad, it will be before warranty expires.

[EVO Shift 4G General] missingxtension:
OKay i was having some major problems with an evo shift on metropcs.

The problem was that i could not get qpst to recognize my phone. basically it is a surf-msm7830 and it draws a blank when you try to re-provision. It only shows banner and phone state waiting for cdma or something like that.

So after a month of messing with it, i finally got a good version of qpst that works with evo shift 4g/speedy.

The secret is qpst 2.7.366, i got it from conflipper, the guy who does cricket stuff at ppcgeeks.

You have to remove the old qpst then install the new one.

Just follow bloodykiller86's tutorial and youre set to go.

I would make a modified bloody killer tutorial but i dont have the time to make screenshots.

and here is qpst, please please make some mirror 4shared, hotfiles, and file sharing accounts.

Here is qpst

http://thepiratebay.org/torrent/6388346

I am uploading at 2mb so anyone should be able to get it, but i wont seed for ever.

I cant post on any other xda threads because of my low post count, stupid rule.

So feel free to move my post to anywhere it is suitable, also please add to a sticky or make this a sticky. It took me for ever to find this information and yes dont bring up the lame "search" question. It gets old and my response is, what makes you think PEOPLE DON'T KNOW HOW TO search? Just answer the question and you have more ways for answer to be indexed.

And all you people that make money from the evo shift flashing and dont want to share information, SCREW YOU!!!

I HOPE YOU LOOSE SOME MAJOR MONEY NOW THAT THIS IS OUT!!!!!!!

Almost forgot, dont forget to root. Shiftrr worked good for me. The hard part was getting the drivers and adb to work.

Then once that worked you just have to apply shiftrr about 2-3 times and see if you get root.

http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/root-and-install-recovery-on-htc-evo-shift-4g-one-click-root/

Another tip, if you cant install android sdk because of java dependency (%programfiles%\Java\jdk1.6.0_25\jre and you know you have it installed already.

Just download the zip and extract anywhere, it should work just fine with out the installer.

EDIT: MMS is now working good

Thanks for sharing. But Im having issues. The link that you provided with the qpst tool......well, when you download it, there is nothing in the file box. Its an empty torrent. So could you plz give us a hotlink, rapidshare, megaupload or any re-link to the tool.

Im trying to flash back to sprint, and have been searching on-and-off for 2 weeks for this tool. Thanks

Edit:

Oh, and you dont have to put it in torrent format again, as we would have to depend on a very few seeders, so to eliminate that potential problem, uploading it to some dedicated file spot would be the way to go. Im sure u are well aware of that.

And if you do re-torrent it, im willing to help out for a month or two as i have a 10mb upload. (60mb down :))

oh, last question. The usual versions I locate are 2.7.323, however I just found a 2.7.355, my question is did you try the .355 version and was not successful with that or was it the .323 version?

Guess I will hang tight til you send me a copy of the .366 one. thanks in advance!!

[Nexus S General] AshsToAshs:
I decided to try out the Google Voice integration with Sprint. I used the option to use my Sprint number as the primary and only number. So my sprint number and GV number were the same.

Everything was working good for a few days, when i realized that i really hated the way the Google Voice app handled voicemail. So, i found an apk and titanium backup for Sprints VVM that someone on these forums posted. I installed it, it configured itself, but it wouldnt work (which i was expecting as GV was now handling all my voicemail. i just wanted to try it out). I uninstalled it and thought nothing of it.

About an hour later my primary number stopped working. I couldnt place or receive any calls, and i couldnt txt.

Took about an hour for Sprints tech support to get everything fixed. Super lame.

So, if using your sprint number as your google voice number: DONT MESS WITH SPRINTS VVM! It will messsssssss you up! lol
[Nexus S General] awesomeindeed:
I had this happen to me BEFORE I started messing with VVM. It's a GV issue altogether and not something VVM does, don't let them tell you any different because it's just not true. I've since completely deintegrated my Sprint number from GV and logged out of the app for good and the problem went away immediately.
[Nexus S General] jinsoku3g:
I didn't do this,but sprint needs to learn abouts the nexus and gv. My phone completely stopped taking inclmjbg calls yesterday until I unintegrated and just used it as a forwarding phone
[Nexus S General] A_Guy71:
I was having serious issues yesterday as well; could not receive calls or texts ("We could not complete your call, please try again.") and received the same thing on outgoing calls. after unintegrating GV would not call my phone to verify the number so I could not reintegrate it, and I still couldn't call anyone. This was happening up until about 3 hours ago, now my calls will go through with my Sprint number but it seems like my texts are still not working...
[Nexus S General] AshsToAshs:
I deintegrated as well. I really like the idea of GV, and thought alot of the features where super neat. But obviously there is still stuff to work out.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:
after a day of not being able to make or recieve calls, i've deintegrated it as well. i'm sure i must've did something in the settings for that to happen, but integrated gvoice it just too confusing atm. besides, i like getting texts via stock app, and if that means i have to get dual notifications, then forget it.

but sprint/gvoice integration is still new, so im open to future development.
[Nexus S General] jinsoku3g:
So it sounds like the problem was more widespread than my. Individual phone. I got errors when calling out and errors if someone tried to call my sprint number, now as a forwarding phone j get dual notifications as well. Anybody know if it is cleared up by now? Voice was why I switched to sprint in part
[Nexus S General] lrosado:
same thing happened to me last night. all of a sudden couldnt make or receive calls. spent a hour and a half with sprint, couldnt get it working. But when I went to the website to remove google voice integration it said it wasnt. I called Sprint back and sure enough the rep said that it was still there so she removed it and immediately i was able to make and receive calls. so the problem is with the google voice integration.
[Nexus S General] jinsoku3g:

Same here, it sits on 3g then i try to load a page etc and it goes to h like it carnt use 3g , im on t mobile and they have full coverage where i am
[Galaxy S II General] AXIS of Reality:
I found an older thread that says it's a feature, keeping the phone in 3G mode to save battery until you do something that requires data which switches it over to H. I've kept a closer eye on my phone and that does seem to be what it's doing, usually taking a second or two to switch over each time I use data.

However, there have still been some times where it stays on 3G and is unable to load data.
[Galaxy S II General] vimto25:
Yeah i think your right and also it does not change sometimes and kinda hangs, be nice for it to switch over to H abit faster without battery drain.
[Galaxy S II General] Jamie Jay:
I have the same issue with my phone to on t-mobile, not working on 3g then working on H.

It is a right pain to be honest.

Just tested, this does not occur for me, at least right here, right now. Comfortably loading pages on Google with just 3G signal (T-Mobile UK).

Hey mate,

I have the galaxy s i9000, with optus here in sydney. same problem, only switches to "H" when i make some sort of data request (load a page, open an app that uses internet), it takes a couple of seconds to switch from 3G to H. Sometimes, it keeps flicking back and forth between 3G and H like its having problems connecting to H

I complained to optus, they reckon i'm lying. Go figure.
[Galaxy S II General] joeykatoa:
Sorry.. just to add on, i've tried about 13 different modems on my i9000 and it happens with all of them.

Same problem here to the extent that pages fail to load on 3g and come up with the error then when I refresh the page once its on H it loads straight away.

Actually this problem is making my phone more or less not usable.

[Galaxy S II General] beWater:
same problem, mode switches around when using data, 3 australia
[Galaxy S II General] Bakedbread:
Um, i'm almost 100% certain that it's working as intended

When data is idling the icon SHOULD show 3G

when you have an ACTIVE data connection (ie: browsing internet, whatsapp, email, ETC) it will CHANGE and show a "H+", which signifies an active data connection

that's just how it works

If you're getting intermittent data connectivity issues, that's another problem.

I experienced it on KE7 firmware but someone suggested flashing the KE1 baseband (just the modem.bin file) and I've no longer had any data connectivity issues.
