When deleting files on my tablet sometimes its still there when I plug it into my PC. What's causing this?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
What file manager are you using to delete the files? I have found that some managers / programs do not delete files without issues for some reason, for example when I play video files via MX video player, if i delete a file using MX it is often not removed, whereas with Root Explorer or ES file explorer I have never had any issues like that.

Also are you sure the files are really there? Maybe your PC is just showing you cached data, try a refresh/rebot of both devices, check again? Are the deleted files still intact if you copy them from tab to PC, or are they damaged?
[Acer Iconia A500] rquinn19:
I've tried all the popular file managers and the files are indeed there and intact. I think I ruined file permissions or something, I have no clue.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Did you alter the permissions of the files in question? Are you rooted? Does a root access file explorer (ie root explorer) cause the same issues when deleting a file?

Where is the file you are deleting, /sdcard/* or is the file actually in the system root (/)?

Is it on microsd?

Possibly a corrupt file system, or perhaps you are deleting a file that is currently locked by a running app?

Can you post a logcat of what happens when deleting a file? The clue to solve your problem might be in the system logs, snag a free copy of catlog if you don't have it, launch catlog, have catlog start recording, start a file explorer, delete the file, switch back to catlog and stop recording and then post/examine the log, might be a clue in there.

Also, as a wild idea - assuming the issue is coming from files, snag a copy of "sdrescan" from market, it is free, and give it a run. Perhaps you have a corrupted gallery view or something.

Hope we can figure it out :-)

[General Questions and Answers] derisio:
AT&T Samsung Captivate with Froyo 2.2/Rooted

Yesterday I had a notification that said I had several app updates available in the Android Market. I went into the Android Market and started the updates but then the Android Market app itself started to update. I'm not sure what happened but the screen went black and it started to go through the SD card checks. I always wait for the SD card checks to finish before doing anything so when it was done I did the unlock code and tried to open up the Android Market, it won't open. I went through all my apps on my homepages and only two that are on the external SD card are working, Alchemy and Droid Phit. I thought maybe it was a OS glitch so I turned it off and restarted it. It sat at the Galaxy S screen for a good 10min before booting up. I went through all the apps again on the homepages and still the same two apps are only working. Settings will not open, the Application button will not open up to all the applications. The volume will not go up or down but I can power it on and off. I tried plugging it in to my computer and it's not recognizable. It does charge when plugged into a power outlet but not when it's plugged into the computer. I tried all the button combos, nothing. I tried all the steps for Odin3, nothing. I have been receiving notifications about text messages, missed calls, app updates, etc but I cannot check them either. I'm not seeing calls come up so I have no idea who is calling me either until I get a notification from Google Voice on my computer since I have all voicemails fwd to there.

I have no idea how to fix this. Any ideas? I'd take it to an AT&T store but the whole $125 replacement cost sucks and if they found out I root the phone they will make me pay the full price of it regardless of insurance.
[General Questions and Answers] derisio:
Bumping.

I really need help. :(!!!!!!
[General Questions and Answers] Bierce22:
did your internal storage get partitioned somehow that happened to my continuum on accedint and i couldnt install anything luckily we have a re partition file for odin i did that and ran the stock rom and it worked im not sure if it would work on the captivate though. real quick check and see if your internal storage says 0.00
[General Questions and Answers] derisio:
I can't check anything. The settings won't open, nothing will open. It's a mystery to me on why this is happening.
[General Questions and Answers] Dirk:
Can you do a factory reset from Recovery, or the buttom combo that works with your device?
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
I know this has been asked before, but I am still a little confused and would be rather grateful for some advice.

I am running stock 3.1 - trimmed out a lot of default Acer apps, Netflix patch, root.

Would love to be able to give this a bit of a overclock, I have experience with custom ROMs, but never changed the kernel. I have CWM installed and ready.

My questions:

1) What kernel is recommended for me? I use multiple USB devices quite often, as well as my GPS - want to over clock but don't want to loose any support for things I use daily :-) From what I can see, Richardtrip's kernal seems like the best option - anyone have any other sugesstions? Really, all I am wanting to do is overclock a touch.

2) How do I backup the current Kernal? Does a full nandroid backup in CWM take care of that? If not, what do I do?

3) After backup, I simple install new kernal by placing on microsd and booting from cwm and installing update.zip from SD, right? Will my modified lib.so in /system/lib (the file modified by the Netflix patch) cause issues with doing this?

Many thanks in advance, xda peoples. Hope you are all having a great week out there!
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
the only Kernel for stock rom's hich is 100% is richardtrips, you can use setCPU to change the o/c values. you can find it in the dev section.

all you need is put the zip on your external sd-card and load it with cwm.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Thank you! That's pretty much what I thought - but how do I make a backup of my stock kernel before modding it? Will nandroid backup via CWM work?
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
Yes it will.
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
Thank you very much! :-)
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
i'm making a note here - huge success

Full nandroid backup is done - installed richardtrip's custom kernel via cwm without any issues. Set to 1400 MHz and omfg my iconia is like a brand new system again - thank you all for your support and help with this.
[Acer Iconia A500] MolsonFL:
Also about to root an A500 with HoneyVillian. Just a few questions before I do. Like the thread starter, I've rooted before but never changed the kernel so I want to be sure I'm not going to bork my tablet.

I guess what I'm really wondering are the steps to take. Let me see if I have this right:

1: Get root via iconiaroot v 1.3

2: Boot into recovery using Acer Recovery Tool from the marketplace.

3: Have richard's kernel on my SD card and run it from recovery.

4: Tablet re-boots.

5: Head back to recovery using above app and load ROM in recovery mode.

Again, I've rooted and loaded Honeyvillian before so no big deal there but just want to make sure I'm changing the kernel in the right order.

Thanks for the help!

[Xoom General] gaiking:
After giving up on finding a fix for my sluggish YouTube appon my xoom. I started having problems with a sluggish android market app and downloaded app cache cleaner from the android market and ran it......it cleared an amazing 200mb of cache and the market now works fast again.....but the great part is that my YouTube app now works fast....no more waiting through endless buffering. I had tried clearing the YouTube cache in the past but it did nothing but since the cache cleaner wipes ALL cache it cleared up a huge amount that was probably clogging up the YouTube app. So far videos that were buffering non stop are now,after the full cache cleaning, loading fast as my PC browser.
[Xoom General] gaiking:
Buffer problem is back....even with cache cleaner,oh well, I guess I'll just have to wait for a YouTube update.
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
Why not just clear cache in app instead. And youtube buffer is a router issue. Get a n router and see how fast it goes then. I had to get an expensive one that could handle more than normal. Otherwise it's a crap shoot. If it's a high quality hd video it will buffer on the sub $100 , routers.
[Xoom General] gaiking:
I tried clearing the youtube app cache alone and it didn't help.....then I cleared everything using the cache cleaner and it worked like a charm but now it's buffering again. Must have been a coincidence. The router can handle YouTube streaming on the Xoom browser and I can watch Netflix without a problem.
[Xoom General] hammer4203:
YouTube app calls for way less data to be loaded at start, so it falls behind.
[Xoom General] totcambiu:
You tube and browsing speeds -FIX (for me anyway)

Ok so since I got my XOOM a couple of weeks ago I was thinking there was a general problem with the wifi speeds. I had problems with the youtube app in particular. It would buffer for ages and then sometimes not even show the vid. I also saw problems with other streaming data such as game downloads and in general the wifi speed was really dissapointing. I searched all over the place for a fix and found a few things to try like clear the cache from the you tube app as well as upgrading to 3.1 but nothing seemed to work until today

I downloaded wifi analyzed from the market which is a free apo that does exactly what it says on the tin, after a quick scan of my access point it advised me to change my channel to 6 from 10 after doing that my XOOM now flies and I mean flies - everything fro. General browsing to the annoying buffer times on the you tube app are now gone!!!!!

I am not saying change your channel to 6 - this was just the best channel for me so grab yourself a wifi analyzer app and give it a go - I hope it helps someone out there because this has resolved the last of my problems I had with my lovely XOOM

This is a re post from another forum, all credit goes to kill3rvill3
[Xoom General] megabiteg:
The only thing that's made my YouTube app work great again is to disable the HD before I start watching a video.

Most videos are still at a good , so they all look very good regardless of the HD being off.
[HD2 General] tvasconcelos:
Hi,

i'm so sad about my HD2. I was gifted the phone and it was stock. After a day, of reading how to go Android, i moved on. Wonderful phone, i was so happy with it... even better with Android. Last weekend went camping, on an island, as you might expect i got there by boat. So cruising with the wind in my hair, feeling the waves... BAM, a wave spashes on the boat and gets me wet. I had the phone on a purse, one of those bags like women have but for guys.

I checked the phone, the purse was wet, but the phone was in somewhat waterproof lining and thought it was ok, maybe humidity. As i got to the place tried to turn the phone on, or wake it... it was as if i was pressing the on button in repeat, on, off, on, off (sleep, wake, sleep, wake). Took the battery of and reinserted, new boot (android boots as sonn as you connect battery) buttons flashing, i believe de flash turn on... i took it off again and tought maybe some humidity or water, now i was getting worried, got inside... let it rest a while.

Tried the day after, boot, but the buttons were wierd. Took battery let it rest, dried, hairdryer, left it on top of router, where is warm for almost 2 days.

Now i'm stuck at magldr. I have no volume down to enter bootloader, manage with volume up inside magldr but the other buttons are all fu**ed up. Sometimes they flash, sometimes brighter. At a few moments ago i was able to boot to Android and navigate with touchscreen as always, perfect, but no hard keys. No way to do back, home, end, menu...nothing!! I press and strange things happen, voice dialer, volume up, etc... Now i flashed CWM again and can't boot to Android anymore...i know, stupid!!

Can anyone advice to what can this be or if there's some solution?

I was thinking if i could flash stock rom, wm6.5, take it to warranty, because i guess it's on it still, and tell them it stopped working. But i can get to bootloader to flash stock wm.

Or get it fixed by my own cost. Thing is, HTC have a crappy assistance here (Portugal) and it's way too expensive.

Or try to disassemble the phone just to get to the buttons to see what happened, if indeed are just the damn buttons. Maybe try a clean, one of those electronics sprays for electric contacts or something.

Sorry for the long post... i'm getting desperate. I got so attached to HD2, such a great phone. Don't wan't it to become an expensive paper weight.

Thanks in advance guys.
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
not sure if it will work but put stock rom on sd renaming it leoimg.nbh then press reset button, under battery cover. its how you flash HPSL
[HD2 General] Gagins:
Hm, all you should did in this time is to remove battery, then dry it with hair dryer. Do not try to start phone now. Tray to dismantle phone and clean with alcohol (non drinkable one:))
[HD2 General] tvasconcelos:
I tried do turn it on, everything worked with the touch screen. The problem is the hard keys.

@robbie: i don't have volume down, so no bootloader, no flashing stock rom... :(

@gaggins: i dried it with hairdryer, left it rest in warm place, on top of router. Still no volume down, and hard keys are faulty. I was trying not to open phone. Besides to get to the hard keys i have to dismantle the entire phone right? Can i bathe the phone in alcohol and let it dry?

It seems as if the power button is stuck. In magldr, i can navigate with volume up and have to keep windows key pressed and to select press also home key. If i select tetris the pieces are always rotating. No side movement, no bring down, nothing.. just constant rotate. The rotate key in tetris, in magldr is the end/power button right?

Can i flash a rom with magldr "USB Flash" ??
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
not without bottom left key to select.

There may still be water in it after a few days, someone wrote put it in a ziplock bag of rice (sieve rice first and remove batt) for a day.

There may be water damage stickers inside which if red might invalidate warranty, apparently these can be bought online.

Alcohol may be final solution.

Good luck
[HD2 General] tvasconcelos:
The stickers are as white as snow. The phone didn't got actually wet, or soaked or fell in water.

Maybe try with rice, or soak the bottom part were the keys are in distilled water, then in alcohol and then the rice.
[HD2 General] Robbie P:
i wouldn't use distilled water, even though no deposits, you could still cause corrosion on pcb. you said earlier about electronics sprays, it might be worth research while hd2 is in rice

recently i took Samsung galaxy ace.. overall cell is good but i wont understnd wats the problem with my 3g connection i tried Idea and Vodafone in my cell for 3g after recharging i immediately got 3g signal but cant understand wats wrong with Airtel 3g i m not getting its Signal only in my cell ,but when try it on some other mobile in same area i immediately get same signal...

So i want to know working apn settings for airtel 3g ... or is there is any facility of buying new airtel sim card by keeping same current Number!!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] mdfzhi:
Settings>Wireless and networks>Mobile networks. Make sure "Use only 2G networks" is untick. Btw getting 3g signal doesnt related with apn setting at all. And regarding buying a new sim while keeping the old number, do contact ur service provider itself.

[Galaxy Ace S5830 General] Hameedhudeen:
Hi mate,

I'm from India too..

The settings for Airtel 3G and normal GPRS are the same.

Just pay for a 3G pack and also try what this guy said :

That should work,

If its still not working Just dial 198 :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] typci:
A copy and paste of the what I posted on the Fpse forum since I thought people here might be interested.

I have an Asus Transformer, and a wireless PS3 controller via Sixaxis Controller app

After fiddling with Fpse for a couple of hours, here is my impression:

Menus are very buggy:

Most settings have trouble saving - took me 3 try tries to get Country - Europe to save, other settings are hit and miss

Controller input settings never save - Every time I load Fpse I have to re-input the controller settings under "Hardware keys"

- Please fix this!!!!

Controls are OK:

Once the controls are mapped, they work pretty much as expected

No analog emulation for digital keys = I can't play ape escape with my wireless PS3 controller, bummer.

Definitely needs analog emulation for digital key presses

I might be able to find a work around for the analog with Sixaxis Controller app, not sure. Still getting used to the app

Audio - Sometime great, sometimes not so great

The audio appears tied into the frame rate - if Frameskip is on, it also appears to skip the audio, resulting in choppy audio

When games run at full frame rate, the audio is pretty good.

Games seem to work just fine

Games appear to be working just as they should, nothing spectacular, nothing bad, which is a very good thing.

Performance seems a little slow, but that could be the Transformer not having enough CPU power, or Fpse.

This post may not seem negative, but it is really not. Any problems I didn't experience means they are not there, which means a lot of things work great. It's hard to find things that are working correctly, because if they are working correctly, you should never notice they are there. I also know this is a relatively new app, and Android is a new operating system. It takes time to get things to work correctly.

I am very satisfied with Fpse. But getting the menu to save the controller settings and adding analog emulation would go a long way to making even more satisfied and telling more people about Fpse (hint, hint). A playstation emulator without a proper control setup kills the fun outright.
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] Gawis:
I installed CM7 nightly 25 for my SGSII and installed the sixasis app, configured just fine with FPse and worked everytime I started it up again, remembered just fine.

Didn't test analog though.

I configured the control and then saved it as default under settings.

If you load a game that already has a config or save you need to re-enter the controls and save again as default, this will be for that game then...

after that it works fine :)
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fiuwe:
Hi ...

I was trying to use the sixasis, and I could use it fine on the phone...

The problem is that I cannot use it with FPse...

Anyone can help me about how to set it ?

Thanks

:(
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] typci:
What specifically are you having problems with?

1) Connect the PS3 controller via sixaxis controller app

2) Configure the PS3 controller buttons in sixaxis, i.e. what keyboard button you want each PS3 button to emulate

3) Disconnect and reconnect to Sixaxis controller app

4) Open FPse and load a game

5) Configure the controls in FPse to use the PS3, Remember sixaxis controller app makes the PS3 controller emulate keyboard buttons, so configure key bindings

6) In FPse, under system, click save default settings. If you don't do this you have to rebind the PS3 controller keys every time you start FPse

7) Play game
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] fiuwe:
That's the problem ... :(

I can use the controller in all other operations on the phone, but I'm not able to configure correctly the sixaxis for the FPse ...
[Eee Pad Transformer Themes and Apps] NuclearBier:

Hello, first of all excuse me if my english is not very good. I am posting here because I have a problem with my edge/3G connexion since I have installed customs roms. It always do the same : I install the rom, everything is perfect, but after some hours my edge/3G connexion totally disappears and I can't use it anymore (I tried to desactivate/reactivate connexion but it was useless). I tried various roms (insert coins, cristal pyramid, virtuous..), I have updated my radio but the problem still continues... Someone would have an idea about the origin of the problem??
