[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
When experimenting with restoring a tarred backup of /data on my A43, I found that if you write data too rapidly to mmcblkp0, you get error -110, timeout. This was a nuisance--I had to slow down the file writing. The OS handled this error pretty badly. tar basically hung and I had to reboot.

Maybe I'm the only person backing up with tar, so it's not a big deal. But more seriously, I think this problem is going occurs in more normal usage situations. It's going to occur whenever a large amount of data gets written to /data quickly. A fast backup restore will do it, but the standard backup programs may be slow enough that it's not an issue. There might be other cases.

The Maemo community has had this problem with external SD cards, and the consensus is that the kernel's mmc driver has buggy timeout logic: instead of setting timeout to the maximum value, it tries to set a smaller value when the card calls for it. There is a patch, which simply sets the maximum timeout value and which fixes the issue. The stock gen8 kernel has the same mmc driver and I assume the same fix would work (I don't have a build environment for kernel building set up yet).

I thought I'd post this--maybe this fix should go into people's custom kernels.

Moved to general as not android development
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
Sorry. I guess I am confused what is general and what is development. I was thinking that suggesting how to modify a kernel for greater stability is development. But maybe it doesn't count as development as I haven't tested whether the suggestion works.
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arpruss:
OK, I built a kernel with this mod (I was pleasantly surprised by how easy it was--just git clone the Archos buildroot sources and kernel sources, put the kernel sources in the right directory, cd buildroot, make, and poof, a number of hours later a shiny working kernel plus a bunch of arm-linux tools). I can now consistently untar at full speed into /data without timeout errors, once. But if I try to do a second untar immediately after the first, I get timeout errors. So I think reliability has been improved, and I am happy with my backup solution.

Is omap_hsmmc.c the driver the Archos uses? If not, then of course the improvement is merely illusory.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantk20111:
I use DSPManager to boost my speaker volume by sliding all the equalizer bars all the way up, and it gives a noticable boost in speaker volume.

My question is, is it safe? Will it blow out the speaker because of the increased volumes?

One of the biggest shortcomings of the X10 is the not so loud speaker, this fixes it, but not sure if it's safe.

Thanks for any help.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a2ha:
can't find it on the market, could you post the link here or pm me to it so i could try it out? :)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Andre Verissimo:
The DSP Manager is a fair safe software. Wolf even included it in some flavors of his amazing ROM and nobody complains about losing the speaker (none that I know of).

I use the DSP Manager whenever I want with no trouble at all.

On the other hand I do think you're right about avoiding excesses. The wisdom teach us to keep the balance and don't misuse equalizers and LED flashes.

In my opinion, the best way to listening music in the X10 is still the earphone.

Watch out it can bite in your hand.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kantk20111:
Thanks, but I was thinking more along the lines of the increased volume will be used for the ringer, when the phone rings, because it's really soft right now and I can't hear it from the other side of my house. DSPManager fixes that. I do use headphones for my music. I'm just worried that too much ringing might damage the speaker because of the increased volume that comes thanks to DSPManager.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifforama:
Does anyone know what this means ?

If I cancel my contract with Verizon, legitimately, does my ESN become clean ?

I would like to sell the Inc.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ehosteda:
The ESN is the electronic serial number that is unique to your phone. If it is clean, that means it will be able to be activated on the Verizon Network. A bad ESN is one that would not be able to be activated on the network. This usually occurs if a phone is listed as stolen, or if it was on an delinquent account where the bills were almost never paid for.

As long as you paid for the account when its due and the phone isn't stolen, I don't see why the ESN would be anything other than clean.

Hope this helps. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hardware9:
Just like he said above, clean esn, only if stolen or past due balance on closed account, is the esn dirty.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viperman2008:
Usually the ID or ESN is in the battery compartment of the phone. You should be able to call Verizon support and check if it is clean in their system. This is a good practice for buying phones from eBay or elsewhere.

[HD Mini General] pwel:
Hello,

quite suddenly, my GPS signal got instable. It happens in several software programs so it really seems to be the signal that is not correct. It gets a fix quite easily, but position is off mucht of the time, and also the direction and alitude are wrong. I attached a profile recorded during a car ride, here in Holland everything is flat, the profile should have been around 0m height all the time. But you can see it goes from -180m to +20m. Everytime when there is a jump, there is also a jump in the location. Before I do a hard reset I wanted to check if this has happened to anyone else before?

Also, I ran Android before, but the swtiching back and forth has not given this issue before.
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
I can confirm that the GPS time is exactly 2 hours behind !

Edit:

also the direction and Altitude are different from the "Navigon" (native device)

GPS uses now UTC-1 as Timezone ??

It was previously UTC+1 Timezone
[HD Mini General] pwel:
what does this help me with my problem?:confused:
[HD Mini General] 15MA1L:
You asked I answered , now you see you're not the only one with this problem

You're welcome! :D

Hard reset also does not solve the problem. One thing is clear that the bug is in the android, in determining UTC "only one row of letters" (the code) must be changed: that GPS should use local system time and everything will work correctly, however I am not so talented to get it solved.
[HD Mini General] pwel:
I still don't understand why the time is the problem. I think it is normal that in western europe, the time is UTC+2 in summer and UTC+1 in winter. So to me this looks normal. If I look at the raw track file, the time stamp for each line is ok, but the position/altitude info is unstable. But today, everything was fine again. So I get lost a bit, and I will keep a track on what happens and record it here again.
[HD Mini General] pwel:
Just finished a 500km trip. No issue at all! So it seems to have been a temporary problem

I have tried every app to SD apps I can find and none of them work on my 3.1 tranformer.

All of them take me to the built in app management page and do not provide any move to SD BUTTON. I m nub to android .
[Eee Pad Transformer General] CarsnGadgets:
android 3.0/3.1 manages the space for apps and data itself, you can use the space however you like, fill the whole 16/32gb up with apps if you like, or have just a few and tons of movies etc fill the space.

apps2sd isn't necessary or possible in honeycomb.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] mclout99:
I was talking about the micro SD slot.

Are you saying that when it runs out of space on the internal storage it starts using the micro

SD if not how no I move apps onto the micro SD? That seem to be what those app to SD do. This is confusing.
[Eee Pad Transformer General] rilot:
The apps were for android 2.x devices that only had a small amount of storage and used SD cards for extra. Your transformer has 16GB of space to fill. If you keep your media on sd cards you'll have a hard time filling 16GB with apps.

[Eee Pad Transformer General] foxmeister:
Pre Honeycomb, you generally had a limited amount of space to install apps (say 512mb Max). With Honeycomb, pretty much all the space you have can be taken up by apps if required, but the SD card is still available for media.

honeycomb is different from android 2.x ...the whole internal storage is like the old microsd....it will take quite a bit effort to fill in its 16 or 32gb space ....

My compass and GPS have always worked with the different ROMs and kernels I've tried. I was running MIUIWiz and I think the compass has worked since I flashed it but now my compass has quit working. It'll show on the screen but will not spin to show direction. I tried all the settings with no luck. I flashed ComRom with OTB kernel thinking it was maybe something with that but still no luck. We do alot of hiking and I would love for the compass to work. The GPS works great just no compass. Any suggestions or recommendations? Thanks
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Toddw:
An interesting thing is that I also lost auto-rotation of the screen. Even if auto-rotate is on it still won't rotate on any screen with any app. I've been using Go Launcher but tried others and still won't work. I don't know if compass sensors and sensors that activate auto rotate if related but neither work. Any suggestions?
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drnihili:
They are different sensors.

Try downloading GPS Status and calibrating your compass (under the tools menu). If that doesn't work, try downloading a metal detector app and see if you get any response. If you're getting no reading at all, then it may be a hardware failure. If the reading is there but off, it may be a calibration issue.

If you're having rotate problems, with adb or root explorer, delete m3c_sensor.cfg I think from /data/system and then toggle auto rotate. That should fix your problems.

Hi *,

coming from CM 7.1 nighties #81, I just installed (full factory wipe including cache and dalvik) Elelinux-7.1.0-Hero-v2.61.

The Rom is fantastic (fast, preloaded with gapps, looking great, ....), I'm sure it will become my new daily rom.

The only thing I am missing so far is the haptic keyboard feedback. Haptic feedback is working while dragging icons and so on, but not when pressing keys on the keyboard. I tried different settings under cyanogenmod / input and rebooted several times, but the result is always the same: no haptic feedback on the keyboard.

Is this a bug or can someone enlight me?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] player1o1:
Try a third-party keyboard like swype or swiftkey and see if the haptic feedback works in there, if not it's a system wide issue, if it does, then something is wrong with the native keyboard.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] peter_jx:
Thanks, your suggestion helped me to figure out my stupid mistake:

As said, I twiddled around with the hf-settings for the keyboard. The Problem was that hf for the keyboard was switched of under Settings / Keyboard (maybe a different default in elelinux compared to CM 6.1 / CM7).

... nothing more to say, sorry for bothering

AFAIK, Yes your phone could become laggy if you use a SD card lesser than class 4. But you can still flash this ROM without a2sd enabled. In the first post it is written how to enable a2sd. You can still try a2sd with your sd card. Even if you dont want you can still flash this ROM without formatting your card to EXT2. And about the last question, you are right saying the FAT partition works as a normal SD card partition but the ext2 partition also will be mounted in /system/sd (check in root explorer after a2sd is on) but it doesnt perfectly act as internal memory but an extended memory for apps+data(if needed) and shifting of dalvik-cache. well didnt you get a san disk 2GB sd card with the SGA?
