[General Questions and Answers] DroidAurora:
I have the same problem with the latest market updates, or any (market updates) for that matter! No matter where I download them from, it's always the same parsing error. This includes trying to install from SD or USB.

I have downloaded literally at least 30x 3.4.4 market APK's for various sources, every single one of them give parse errors, yet I can download any other APK from those same sources and install via USB or SD without a single issue! Can this be manually fixed in the files somehow?

What gives?

How's a guy supposed to add images to his post via img tags, for help ID'n a tablet, without running around spamming for 8 posts? I know it sounds lame, but I couldn't even find an introduction thread to say hi or introduce myself, so I thought I'd ask here while I bumped this thread a little to see if anyone knows a way to fix the parse error files.

By the way, LOVE the video when sign up here, it's awesome! Whoever created that deserves a medal, it's the best!!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octibv:
Hi people,

I have a Nexus One with Cyanogenmod 7, and I recently got an error saying that the SD card is blank or has f*cked filesystem (Sandisk SDHC 8GB). I managed to format the motherf*cker but now I still have cache left on the phone from the apps I had on my SD card.

On phone, with only some basic apps.

Available : 31.98 MB

Total Space: 196 MB

So how can I clear that cache, or leftovers from the apps I had on the SD ?

Thank's in advance.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Well, any of the apps that you had moved to the sdcard will still require removing from your phone. Using Froyo's app2sd moves only a portion of the app to the sdcard, so parts of it still remain along with the dalvik cache and the data for that app. So go into Settings -> Applications -> Manage and remove the apps that you no longer want (or were originally stored on the sdcard).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octibv:
Oh, you're right, I found the apps that were on the SD and I can delete them from there. It's kinda silly, I've tried all sorts of different things but I didn't look in that section.

Thanks alot mate !
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
No problem. Glad you got it working.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octibv:
I uninstalled everything that had leftovers on the phone but that only gave me about 12 mb space on the phone, so now I have 45 mb free out of 192. Is this normal ?

Thank you.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
Were you running any app2sdext or just using the Froyo method of putting apps on there?

If you run

su
cd /data
du -hd 1

It will show you the size of each folder. If you go into those folders and run that command again, it will show you the sizes of those as well. If you change the command slightly to

du -hd 1 | grep M

It will only show you things that have a capital M in it (which is what is used to designate MB, so it will weed out some of the smaller folders).

This might give you an idea of what is taking up your space. I assume you have already sorted your apps by size in Settings -> Applications -> Manage?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octibv:
I was using the App2SD free app from the market.

I ran the commands you said and this is what I've got (only high values here) :

31.1M ./data

94.6M ./dalvik-cache

28.7M ./app
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
I would wipe your dalvik cache (can be done in the advanced section of recovery). You might be able to manually do it yourself, but it is easier in the recovery). There are probably caches from previous programs that haven't been erased. Android will regenerate any caches that it needs when it boots back up.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] octibv:
Seems like wiping dalvik's cache did the trick, now I've got over 100mb free on the phone.

Thank you very much brother.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bassmadrigal:
If you are in need of more space on your phone, I can highly recommend using an app2sdext option. This can make the phone think it has much more internal memory. I am using a 1GB partition on my sdcard to store all my apps and dalvik cache. I use S2E which is an extremely easy app that is on the market. All you have to do is partition your sdcard (which does require it to be wiped again) and install this app. Then you just check what you want moved over to this new partition, the phone will reboot, and you will now have space to have everything installed that you want.
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Ok, so I've been all thru the RIL thread, the radio thread, and pretty much every other regarding improving the data connection for Tmobile guys like me after flashing a new rom but the information I'm looking for is either too scattered or doesn't exist so here we go...

To all my fellow Tmobile'rs out there, what rom are you currently using, what radio, what RIL, and what are your data speeds averaging?

Currently I'm running:

P3Dneon 2.0

Leedroid Kernel V1.4

base: 10.42.9007.00P_10.11.9007.15M

Ril: HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ

Between 7 speedtests I did yesterday on a server 22 miles away here were my average speeds, all done between 6-11pm yesterday:

down: 2.70mbps

up: .25mbps

ping: 220

Interestingly enough, upon (so I thought) reflashing the HTC-RIL 2.2.0159HMQ today, my first speedtest immediately after yeilded 5.68mbps down/.44 up.

I attempted to repeat to see if it was consistant, but in the six tests I performed afterwards on the same server over the course of an hour I averaged

a measly .72mbps down/.22 up.

Now my phone is setup as well as it can be (wcdma preferred, phone is showing "H" and connected to hsdpa) but the data speeds are still absolutely horrible. Anyone having similiar issues or know any tricks to get the speeds back where they should be...?
[HTC Sensation] javolin13:
Maybe not but 4g is hspa

I think hspda is still 3g
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
I think you're right anyway...just sitting here watching my phone statistics now, it seems to be spending a lot of time in UMTS, and alternating to HSDPA every so often...
[HTC Sensation] zylith:
I am on a stock rom the only thing I have done to the phone is root it... I am on "4g" my avg download is 4478 kbps up is 398 kbps. And that is out of 6 test. The fastest was 5689 and the slowest was 2841.
[HTC Sensation] phonegod:
im the same only thing i done to my stock rom was themed it my speed are pretty fast
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
same here, I'm getting very slow data speeds. I was getting 5.0 + mbps. Now I'm only getting 1.5 Mbps. not good.
[HTC Sensation] 2real2141:

[HTC Sensation] kageebe:
It seems to me that TMOUS users are getting screwed over with the flashing of the radio or new rom in general...

I went from a 6mbps down, 2mbps up with stock rom only rooted phone, to a 3mbps down 1 mbps up with the revHD and LD. I was on the recommended Radio for revHD and Stock radio with LD.
[HTC Sensation] vinnyjr:
Running the stock rom with S - off and rooted. I am getting a very strong 7 - 9 MB Down and 3 MB up. Live in a suburb of Boston. These are speeds I'm getting during peak hours. (10 am - 6pm)

I do not want to loose those speeds so I'm waiting for a while to see the speeds others are maintaining after flashing new roms.
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
That makes me jealous...:(

On a sidenote, I remember when I first got my vibrant (not 4g) and at times i would average 4-600kbs/sec...I'm not even getting that with my sensation and it sucks.

There's got to be a way to fix this, as I'm attempting to go back to the stock rom now and see if there's a difference...
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
did you flash a different RIL?
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
What Rom/radio/RIL are you using?
[HTC Sensation] allen099:
Hey guys. I'm using my Sensation 4G in NYC. I'm noticing sporadic changes in speed..drastic changes. At some point the download will be a great 3.5 Mbps, and the next second, it will be 200Kbps. I'm standing in the same spot with the same server, and ping of 200 ms.

I'm running all stock ROM, kernel, and radio. Are we thinking it's hardware right now, or does noone actually?
[HTC Sensation] The Illest 619:
TMOBILE

using revolution hd 1.1.7 with rcmix 2.3 kernel

recommended radio slowed down my data so i flashed stock radio and RIL.

getting download speeds 6 -7.5 mb almost every time. upload speeds are around 2-3 mb usually.
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
I'm starting to think it may be...or maybe it's disruption to cellular networks from the freakin solar flares I keep hearing about lol...

I just restored a nandroid of my stock rom and my first test got me 2.04/.21, second 2.94/.53, third shot up to 5.09/1.3, fourth back down to 2.37/.36, fifth 1.2/.66, and the last was pathetic at .57/.08. Starting to think maybe it's network or hardware related...???
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
I didn't install any radios or Ril's. Only Roms installed. I'm thinking about installing the stock rom back to see if it makes a difference.

Edit: How do I check RIL?
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Try this thread...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1202867

I played around with my stock rom and got over 5mbps a couple of times over the course of half an hour, which is quite a bit more than I did with any other rom. Going back to p3d neon 2.0 now with leedroid 1.4 kernel to see if speeds are any different...
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
My speeds match what I had stock. They do fluctuate but that's normal and it's the network, not the phone. Currently on InsertCoin Sense Android 2.3.4 with stock radio. I did flash the matching RIL from the thread mentioned. I've done this for every ROM update and speeds have been fine.

The "recommended radios" are probably not good for TMOUS Sensations. Just stay with stock radio and matching RIL unless you have some serious issues. If all else fails, there are some TMOUS based ROMs that shouldn't mess with speeds at all.
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
Installed the default RIL and have the stock radio. Still 1 mbps. Also I'm running a rom made by a USA user.
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Could be the network at the moment. If it's a TMOUS based ROM and you're using stock radio and RIL, there really is nothing else I can think of that can affect data speed. Try doing a speed test on someone else's phone side-by-side with yours (and I really mean like in the same room, speeds can vary widely in different areas). Or do a nandroid backup and revert back to the stock ROM to test the speed. Then you can switch back easily.
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Same thing happened with me...

I actually just switched back to TMOUS MT_S4G v1.03, and amazingly , downloads in android market were dl'ing at over 1mb/s!!! The weird part is the speedtest app wasn't showing me getting speeds even close to what my dl's were getting in the market...

Either way, i'm not assuming anything anymore...I've consistantly gotten higher speeds on tmobile roms and the best speeds so far have been on the MT-S4G v1.03 rom...so I'm sticking with it until something better comes along or until we figure out what's causing piss poor data on all these other roms...
[HTC Sensation] Dacoit:
hmm im thinking about going back to stock. Right now I'm on senseless
[HTC Sensation] awake00:
We're you guys getting consistent speeds when you were stock? I wasn't.
[HTC Sensation] seanerixon:
T-Mobile 4G.. Is classified as 3G speeds. Just wanted to clarify.
[HTC Sensation] teamreidy48:
Well actually from all the experts no USA company is really " 4g " as they say only lte 2 and wimax 2 are true 4g just to clarify
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Yeah, I think most of us Tmobile guys on xda probably know that by now lol...

Either way, the phone should be doing better than .72mbps downloads at any given point unless there's an issue with something. Sadly, it's really hard to determine what's causing these low data speeds at the moment but it seems like the rom does apparently make some difference based on my testing so far...
[HTC Sensation] tibere86:
Neither was I. Flashing new radio helped a bit I think...or maybe just a placebo affect :rolleyes:
[HTC Sensation] allen099:
Solar flares, haha. Those are.going to last until 2013 so we're screwed then :-).

I am trying to figure how sensitive these antenna contacts inside the back cover actually are. Ah well, I guess everyone is in the same boat. I do laugh when I see "4g" on the top right and I get near-Edge speeds.
[HTC Sensation] teamreidy48:
So I tested speeds stock core droid rom no changes to ril or radio and I get consistent 5mb down and 2 mb up on stock tmobile rom best I hot was 6 down and 2 up so I dont see much of a difference with coredroid rom
[HTC Sensation] masse1369:
Average 7.23 down and 1.49 up. On the .15 radio. Didn't flash the RIL.zip. I'm in Jacksonville, FL sitting in the airport right now at 12:24 pm.

Edit: I'm on the P3D Neon ROM.
[HTC Sensation] tzoop:
7079 kbps down. Def a change with different roms, What is the best way to test speeds???
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
For all of you guys complaining about slow speeds after flashing ROMs.. Have you:

1) Flashed the TMOUS RILs as someone pointed out earlier?

2) Done the Data Ciphering toggle trick? http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1137323

Go into the dialer and dial *#*#4636#*#*

-Select Phone Info

-Go to the "toggle ciphering" button and disable it

-For good measure turn off radio and then turn it back on

-Then re-enable the "toggle ciphering" button

I know for me sometimes when I flash I lose speeds until I do the toggle trick, and then they're back to normal. Usually just have to do it once, but you may want to repeat if you're still having issues.

FYI I'm running LeeDroid 1.3/custom kernel/TMO wifi patch/ and have great speeds!

My 2 cents.
[HTC Sensation] tzoop:
Yes I always flash the correct radio to the device after flashing, and I have done the cyphering trick. What is standard 4g speed? I am using mobilespeedtest.com and it says 4g is 2500kbps??
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Same here...I do the ciphering trick every time and I can't tell a difference most of the time...
[HTC Sensation] RaDeN305:
Here's the problem: Speeds vary greatly in different areas. No one can really answer what "standard 4G speed" is. Posting what you got on a speed test here is useless as someone might have faster "4G" speeds in one city compared to another because of many different variables. You shouldn't be comparing your speeds to someone else's in another part of the country, or even in another part of your town. You should compare it to what YOU got when stock. That means going back to stock and doing multiple tests in the same area (home I guess) across different servers so you can get a benchmark. Then flash a new ROM, flash the T-Mobile RIL, and do the same tests in the same area. Is there a big difference? If yes, then there's a problem and something is being changed with the ROM. If data speeds are important to you, ditch that ROM and try another.

I'm saying this because I get the impression that some people are seeing some of the data speeds others have posted and are blaming the ROM for not achieving those same speeds. It's possible you could never achieve those speeds in your area anyway.

Personally, when I first flashed a new ROM I noticed a speed drop. But that was the day S-OFF was released. After devs started tweaking their ROMs a bit more my speeds went back to normal. Also, flashing the correct RIL helped. I'm currently on InsertCoin and am getting on average the same speeds I had when stock.
[HTC Sensation] tzoop:
Interesting. So I am on InsertCoin as well and I flashed the current reccomended radio and I am getting average speeds. I thought that the radio had to match the RIl of the ROm. I was under the impression the ROMs usually come with the RIL and you flash the radio accordingly... Maybe Im wrong?
[HTC Sensation] Behold_this:
I'm sure there are those that will argue with me but in my experience none of this matters, at least its not the sole or most important factor. I'm running the stock unbranded european rom with the tmobile radio, I have not edited/changed my ril and my speeds are tops! Actually get better speeds now than before. I average 7-8Mb down and about 1.5Mb up. Not too shabby if you ask me.
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
TMO sensation 4g. On stock id average around 4mb down and 600kb up.

Now on InsertCoin 2.1 with newest radio that i flashed thru bootloader I average 8mb down and 2mb up
[HTC Sensation] Nixit12:
Which Radio would that be and what area of the US?
[HTC Sensation] n1ghtl1fe:
chicago, il

the radio is the newest on the All Radios thread. One on the very bottom, came out today
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Can i use the latest radio(which came with a 2.3.4 base) with a 2.3.3 based ROM ???!
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Bump!

Anybody??!
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
It'll work yeah...the question is how effectively. Either way, won't know til you try...

I'm gonna flash it later tonight and see how it goes as I just flashed p3d v3.1. Everything does seem quite a bit snappier on 2.3.4 even at stock clock speeds with the stock kernel, and my data speed seem to be quite a bit better...
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Fyi...

For those gauging their speeds thru the speedtest.net app, I would take it's readings with a grain of salt. I've been averaging around 2.5-3.5mbps thru random daily tests using it, but as a control, I've monitored my speeds downloading apps in the market as well. I've seen speed variances of over 700kb/s between rapid testing from speedtest to market DL's, and honestly I've been seeing GREAT speeds on the market with my max hitting right at 1mb/second early this morning.

2.3.4 does seem to make a pretty big difference IMO, and I made sure I flashed the tmo RIL immediately after going to 2.3.4 and did the cypher trick as well. Phone is noticebly faster in almost every way :-)
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Can i flash the T-mo RIL and use it with a non-T-mo radio??!

Thanks.
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
I haven't tried it yet but will with the new radio that came out shortly. I say go for it...worst case scenario is your speeds are slower but you can just flash right back to what you had before...

I would also suggest trying the combo for maybe a whole day to get a feel for it. Browse web pages, DL apps from the market, and run a few speedtests to get a overall feel of whether or not it's actually better or worse. I would also say DEFINITELY upgrade to a 2.3.4 rom, it's noticbly faster browsing and much much smoother. Still gauging battery but also appears so far to be better. Data also seems better too.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Thanks again for the reponse.I'm currently on a 2.3.4 Rom (InsertCoin 2.1) and i have flashed the latest radio,but my data speed seems a bit slower.I'm not entirely sure as data speeds are always inconsistent even bfore i root or flash any custom Rom.

I'll give the T-mo RIL a try and see what happens.
[HTC Sensation] bigmase521:
The original Stock TMO RIL or a new RIL for the new radio? I haven't found new RILs yet to match the new radio and kinda want to match em before I flash a new 2.3.4 ROM.
[HTC Sensation] NYCguy2020:
Same here.the posted T-mo RIL file is for the old radio.Gosh,this is all confusing.:confused:
[HTC Sensation] hoevito:
Quick update, so I downloaded and installed the new 2.3.4 radio and RIL found in their respective threads and I'm still running p3dv3.1 and while testing doing market downloads, I averaged about 800-900kb/s once it got up to speed (downloaded angry birds, a few other large apps to test for consistancy). Not too bad, but I'm going to run the combination for a few days before I come to any real conclusions whether or not there's much of a difference. So far, it's about even, MAYBE slightly faster than the stock tmous radio/ril combo I was running...
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rychan:
This happens about many times a day when I choose a contact from my past messages it opens a totally different contact that may or may not have been visible in the list. Also occasionally when i am typing it double types part of the word so if I type "really" it might be "reareally". Anyone else get this?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Which ROM? Have you tried using an alternative app?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rychan:
I am using stock 2.3.3. I just downloaded handcent and it seems to work good so far. Its no big deal , just curious.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I had that issues with the stock ROM as well. I use Handcent as well and don't have that issue.

That said, it appears to be an issue on the Thunderbold too. Apparently Verizon and HTC are aware about it, according to what my VZW rep has told me.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] rychan:
Thanks for the infomation.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yoitsbry:
that is a problem with android, not HTC. Google has acknowledged the problem but there has not yet been a fix released.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] Avelnan:
Nope, doesn't seem like it happens on AOSP Android. My cousin has the sensation and the double word thing happens to me and him. We just use handcent.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sk0t:
I can't say that I ever had that issue with AOSP. I used Handcent most of the time then anyway because I preferred the interface to AOSP.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] shoman24v:
Never had this issue on cm7. I get weird errors too. For instance, if I type in landscape and send it then go portrait the last word I typed is shown. Sometimes after I reply to a message the message I sent shows as new. Unacceptable.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] yoitsbry:
It is definitely a bug that has plagued android for a long time. Here is a post where you can read about the different bugs that Android SMS has. Once again, this is not specific to HTC devices. I used to experience this same problem on my fascinate.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
It may amount to nothing, but at least we have an area to vent where Viewsonic is at least reading it. Granted, it could be (and most likely is) some summer intern that's just posting canned responses to our complaints, but at least that's better than being ignored by their customer service area.
[G Tablet General] TJEvans:
I can't, sorry. Viewsonic blocked me on FB as well as twitter.
[G Tablet General] barqers:
I expressed my concerns on the nvidia developer forum. Will on Facebook as well.
[G Tablet General] goodintentions:
Right now, nvidia is pointing its finger at viewsonic saying viewsonic isn't supporting the gtab. Viewsonic is pointing its finger at nvidia saying nvidia won't support the harmony tegra 2 beyond 2.2.

Have you ever called for support and then get redirected endlessly to another line only to go in a big circle and end up where you originally were?

I firmly believe nothing will ever come out of our complaints.

I've mentioned this before elsewhere. Both our acer iconia tab and asus transformer have gotten updates after updates. My g/f's transformer recently got an update for her dock free of charge after customer complaints that the dock was draining battery. Asus engineering team came up with a way to put the dock to sleep when not in use and offered the hardware update free of charge.

Mean while, we have gotten nada from VS in the last 7 months.
