Well you would want to choose data2sd, if you want as much to be on the sd-card as possible, however it is usually quite a lot slower than using internal, and there is no reason to leave internal completely empty.

Also you can't run everything from the sd-card. The system-partition will still be on internal as well as boot and so on.
[Desire General] lucky3664:
Thank you mortenmhp,

I have sd-card of class 10, will still be a lot slower than internal?

thanks.
[Desire General] shankly1985:
I use class 4 and have done from day one with droidzone's roms and it runs great.
[Desire General] ronilzizou:
I use a class 10 8GB card, and use Apps2sd. Dont really feel the need to use Data2sd.

Ive got alot of apps and still got some memory left so its all cool
[Desire General] mortenmhp:
Well it might not be too slow, but only do it, if you need the space, in which case it's a good solution.

But the more you move to the slower memory the more time will be spend accessing it.

But I'll encourage you to try it out for your self, as it's very individually(just make a nandroid backup and try different rom solutions) personally with my sd-card there is no way i'd use it for everyday use(flashed it a few times, and always got a slow and lagging system), while other people seem to have it working fine :)
[Desire General] lucky3664:
Ok I will try,

Thank you mortenmhp...
[Desire General] BigMrB:
Your question should be which do i need?

People rarely 'need' data2sd - apps2sd is 'usually' enough!
[Desire General] Rookie-droid:
thanks for the infos :)
[Desire General] alpha-dog:
how do you know what class your sd card is?
[Desire General] cartus:
there is a figure 2 or 4 or 6 or 10 in a circle printed on the sd card or you can install sd tools from market to benckmark it ( 2 means 2 mb/s , 4 means 4 mb/s,... aso )
[Desire General] BigMrB:
i'd say go for apps2sd then if you need data go for that after
[Desire General] morgan39:
Normally you need a magnifying glass because it is a tiny number............. see figure.

I now use data2sd with MIUI rom and a class 6 samsung sd card £16 from play.com :)

I would defo recommend this card, I didn't think from class4 to class6 would be that much difference I was wrong. I can now record videos without a single lag, phone is easy 10x faster and smooth, also MIUI is superb rom :)
[Desire General] jdolmen:
Hi,

Most of the times a class 6 or 10 is much "slower" than a good

class 4 like the sandisk mobile ultra of 4Gb (The one of 8 Gb is slow !!).

The problem is that te typical test of writing/reading to/from a single file doesn't guarantee the behaviour of the card when used intensively.

When many files are involved, things change dramatically and a good memory controller is a must, and many of the class 6 /10

don't have one.
[Desire General] Xairo:
Is there a app to test that?
[Desire General] dik23:
I have a 8gb sandisk class 4 in a stock desire and am getting 6.8 meg read and write when I test
[Desire General] mmceorange:
I have a 16GB class 10 card from Wintec and, through the phone plugged into my computer via usb, I get consistent 11 - 13 mb/s transfer speeds of all size files

[EDIT] but the card apparently had several corruption issues I could not get rid of. You get what you pay for.. Replaced with a PNY 16GB class 10 and it works awesome.
[Desire General] jdolmen:
Hi, in my case my sandisk mobile ultra of 4GB gives me 15 mb/s. But the key is not only this

speed is the ability to read/write to many files (most of the times small) at the same time.

BTW I bought a sandisk mobile ultra of 8 Gb and though it's usable is not as fast as

the 4GB one. It just gives me 9 mb/s.

However as I said before, I've tested many class 6 cards and eve if I get 16mb/s on most

of them they are slow when data-app is moved to the card.
[Desire General] sibere:
Card class indicates minimum sequential write speed achievable on the card.

It's good for writing big files like movie files.

But when it comes to writing small random files, it can be the opposite. Many people reported having bad random write speeds with C10 cards whereas others reported better speeds with lower class cards.

It's a matter of sd controler quality and size of erase block size. Bigger and faster SD cards have bigger erase block sizes (up to 256Ko). It means that those cards need to write 256Ko of data even for writing a single byte on the card.

That's why C10 are not the best choice when it comes to DATA2SD or any kind of similar solution to short data storage on the Desire.
[Desire General] sebastianlow:
Data2sd, it won't be very slow when u use a class 4 or 6 card, its actually very fast. There's a vid on YouTube that shows a guy who got 3k plus quadrant using oxygen and data2sd

[Defy General] Hugo32:
Hi,

I'm currently trying to find out what part of my defy might be broken. So I found a faulty microSD card.

Now I wonder if the internal memory is also an sd card (which tend to produce more and more errors over time) or some sophisticated storage ...

Does anyone know what the internal memory is made from ?
[Defy General] Football Fan:
Well as far as i know it is NOT another SD card but memory chips similar to ones found on small music players etc. Hope this helps :)
[Defy General] Hugo32:
So it's probably not damageable by removing the battery during operation (had to do that a lot because of freezes).

I believe that was why my sdCard stopped working. Got a new one now and no problems so far. Still hope the internal memory is not damaged. Wouldn't be good quality if it gets damaged by removing the battery that easy.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
Hi,

I live in New England and I currently have the Focus with AT&T. The signal here with the focus is bad, constantly losing calls, signal fluctuates from 4 bars 3G switches to edge and then loses signal totally. During this the call quality gets progressively worse. They can't seem to fix the problem so they said they would get me a new phone. They did recently have me change out the Sim as well as a multitude of other things that haven't worked.

I was just wondering what is the best smartphone they currently carry that has good signal quality? I do need a smartphone but one that doesn't lose calls all the time. I'm not far from a tower here and other phones I have had work fine here but the Focus just isn't working out. I do like the focus for the most part and wouldn't mind another Window 7 phone as long as the signal isn't a problem. If I have to go to Android that's fine too, although that would be my last choice.

Thanks for any help.
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
I think you should consider that in your area the signal might just be bad, for your carrier. Unless you have other reasons to think different.

In any case, you are likely to hear subjective opinions on this matter.

One important thing to understand from the beginning is reception vs call quality.

While good reception should insure good call quality, that isn't necessarily the case. As it also depends on the hardware of the phone (bad or low quality ear piece). However, a good call quality depends on the signal quality/strength.

What I can tell from my experience, is that phones with stronger antennas have better reception but not necessarily good call quality. I found out that for me, the best sound quality was in Sony Ericsson phones. However, that was back in Symbian era.

Stronger antenna usually means bigger SAR (radiation).

I can most certainly say the Focus doesn't excel in call quality and I've heard far better. It is reasonably ok.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
Other friends have come over here with ATT as their provider and they have good signal and don't lose calls. I was just out yesterday in known good 3g areas in my town and lost 2 calls out of 3.

I'm gong to have to get a new phone. I talked with ATT yesterday and they made me do a hard reset on the phone. I told him I've already done that before but I did it again. They are calling back Friday to see how things are going and if nothing has changed he said they will give me a new phone. I did tell him I don't want another Focus as this is my 6th one. Pain in the backside.

I just hope they give me a choice and don't try to pass off a 2 year old phone on me. Hopefully the damn thing has good call quality.
[Focus General] TIGGAH:
If you can hold out until September you should. The new phones with Mango will be coming out and maybe one of them will be better for you.

Have you tried a Microcell? Maybe one of them in your home would make the phone much more tolerable. That's what I did but only because AT&T gifted it to me.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
I'm talking to AT&T about a microcell. Their own tech department suggested it. I still lose calls outside of my house but at least I could do business here. At first the customer service person said I could get a free one because of all my issues but he just informed me I'd have to pay for it. I told him no, that after 6 months of terrible service and constant lost calls that they should provide it for free. I told them either a new phone other than the Focus, let me out of my contract or a microcell. I'm waiting on the supervisor to call me back.

Damn, 6 months of crappy service. I've been using my home phone and my daughter's Tracfone to do business. $110 a month it costs me and I can't use this thing, what a rip. This is my 6th damn Focus too. I have a feeling I'll be switching to Verizon soon.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
For signal quality what would you guys choose? The Infuse, the Atrix, or the HTC HD7S? I'd rather stay with windows 7 but I've heard the signal quality isn't that great with the hd7s? Anyone have an opinion?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
Btw, you should ask again all this in the Windows Phone 7 Q&A forum, not in the Focus thread, as this is a WP7 general question. ;)
[Focus General] FL5:
I don't have first-hand experience with a lot of AT&T's line-up, but I do find that my Dell Streak will catch much better signal in places (in particular, my office) than my Focus, as basically the entire back of that beast is a giant metal antenna plate. Now if only the Streak would run WP7...
[Focus General] oriongi:
Hi Fiberop did you sort out a good phone for the signal? I too am in the uk having similar issues using vodafone and o2, tried htc legend, htc desire HD, htc desire s, and getting cut off during a call and the singal is always up and down, So you are not on your own. I still love HTC phones but i wish they would sort the signal and battery issues.

I have an old XDA lls and this never had these problems. All the HTC phones were on the highest operating systems they could be at the time. Tried the gsm only settings but still gets signal up and down. You can help by how you hold the phone, e.g on the legend dont hold the rubber base cover.

I do have 2 friends, one on 3 with a desire S and one on the HTC sensation on orange and no signal issues apart from bad batterys they are ok with these phones.
[Focus General] markgamber:
You can always get a microcell. I went that route and now all my phones work great in and around the house. With a microcell you can use the phone you want instead of having to forego phones with lots of functionality and lousy reception, which is every smartphone I've ever owned.
[Focus General] Fiberop:
I ended up getting a microcell. They did try to give me a Surround but I declined that. I mentioned a couple other phones but they suggested a micro cell. I do make a lot of calls from home so it made sense. It was free because of all my problems so that worked out well. They charge $200 for the damn thing. It works great though and it's the first time I have ever seen 5 bars on this phone. What a relief not to keep losing business calls.

By the way, the Presidents office is where you want to call if you have issues that tech support or customer care can't or won't fix. I found that number on the internet and they can actually authorize things like a free microcell where customer care won't even discuss it. Nice people there too.
[Focus General] Deleted member 2758866:
Samsung Captivates are cheap and have amazing signal.
[Focus General] woodbane:
Hey I have a question for you as I was in EXACTLY the same boat as you. I'm even in New England (Vermont, where are you?).

Anyhow, Samsung Focus here as well. About a month ago the cell signal degraded in my local area to the point I could only make and receive calls at home if I stood out on the front porch. There was no explanation given from AT&T and I spent a frustrating month going back and forth with tech support trying to get their field techs to find out WTF happened.

Long story short, they eventually credited me the full cost of a microcell AND my last months bill.

So, got the microcell, installed all fine and dandy. HERE'S MY QUESTION....have you noticed any change in your battery life? If my phone is connected to the microcell the battery drains REALLY fast. I can take it off charge at 7am, not touch the phone at all and by 4pm I'm way below half. If I do the same thing when the microcell is not on, I can get over 24 hours off a single charge.

Something causes the battery to drain extra fast when the Focus is connected to the MicroCell. Have you noticed this at all?
[Focus General] EnderPsp:
The explanation is pretty simple: the weaker the signal from the nearest Network Cell, the greater the power on the phone's antenna has to be. The battery life is tied into this because the phone has to put extra juice to insure a good quality of the signal.

It won't matter what phone you're on, it will drain faster than if you would have a better signal.
[Focus General] woodbane:
I think you're misunderstanding me. I'm saying that when I'm connected to the MicroCell, i.e. Where there is a very strong signal, my battery drains faster than when I'm NOT connected to the MicroCell at the same location and am down to maybe one bar. The MicroCell causes my battery to drain faster which is the inverse of what should be happening right?
[Focus General] Fiberop:
I'm in west central NH. I haven't noticed that much of a difference with the micro cell and the battery. I'm not using it as much as I was so maybe that has something to do with it. I do only charge it late at night and that remains the same. I don't recall anyone else that has received a micro cell talk about this. Maybe you should do a google.

Have a good one and good luck with those washed out roads over there.

Hi all,

I just have a problem with the keyboard. I cannot have the swiss keyboard (qwertz) anymore even if I choose French (Switzerland) in the languages menu. The only possible keyboard available is qwerty whatever language or keyboard I choose.

In stock rom, it's possible to choose qwerty, qwertz, azerty, etc...

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] tk7375:
Hey Guys -

I had the Moonlight WP7 ROM on my HD2 working pretty well, thought i'd flash LEO71 on my phone to play with some new features and when I did, the Cellular Data portion failed to work.

I can't sync email, etc. Wifi works great and I can make calls.

I tried flashing back, but it seems (i can't quite tell - maybe someone can show me how to tell the version) that either it isn't reverting back to the old version or even if I'm back on Moonlight the cell data isn't working.

I did a quick search and didn't come up with a fix on this issue.

Could someone point me to a thread if there is one, or has anyone ran into this?

Thanks!!

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levesqu6:
stock atrix, up to date on at&t, no mods, no rooting...etc.

i was using mpdroid the other day. the app crashed a few times. After fussing with the app for a bit, i had the phone next to me on the table. I noticed that the phone had restarted itself and appeared to have hung with the red Motorola boot icon. So i pulled the battery and tried to turn it on. No response.

I have tried the following

-left on factory charger for a day. Have tried blackberry and iphone chargers as well

-plugged into USB port on PC, results in green light being lit for short period of time

-factory hard reset (volume down and lock button at same time).

-a friends fully charged battery

the only one of these methods that resulted in any indication of life is the lighting of the green indicator light when plugged into a PC's USB port.

at the very least i would like to wipe all my data off the phone before exchanging it at at&t. Is there anything i can do to either recover the phone or wipe it?

I don't know really I don't think so its a cable that moto uses. Plus I wouldn't take it to store most of them guys don't know what they are doing. Plus you run the risk of him trying to factory reset and permanently bricking your phone. What have you installed which build. I would make that cable and then use fastboot to flash 2.3.4 . Then again its up to you. YOU CAN TRY to bs the store by saying it was updating then wouldn't come back on, you may get a dumb one.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] levesqu6:
Since i am so busy these days i might skip making the cable and just exchange the phone. It would be a legitimate return as the phone did this to itself. I haven't modified it or installed anything outside of the standard app store.
