[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Ok your problem is that when you boot the phone you just get the htc screen and your rom does not load?how do you get into recovery? no you can't update recovery from within recovery thats where fastboot comes into play,will try and help as best I can,

PS have you the fastboot file and adb setup on a computer?

PPS What do you mean by you have pushed recovery?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
yes, I get stuck in the HTC screen, but I can get into Recovery by removing the battery, powering up and keeping the VolDown keypress just fine. Both Recovery images that I mentioned work OK, but I jsut can't get past the HTC logo when booting normally...

Yes, I got all the programs required set up.

Thanks for helping out...
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Could you restore a nandroid then?It sound like something got messed up,if you can get into recovery then the problem must lie with the rom?So try restoring a backup or flash a new ROM
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Yeah... I didn't have enough room on the SD for a backup so there's none unfortunately. So I guess it's down to reinstalling the ROM and all the mods again, which I was trying to avoid, but oh well, that's life I guess!

Once more, many thanks.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
Some things are worth making some space for........ Glad to help,hope a reinstalled ROM gets you up and running again
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
Already reinstalling, I'll update with more info when it's done :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bombadier:
And remember make some room for a Nandroid backup,case and point!!!!!!!!!!!

Best of British to you sir!!!!!!!!
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krakout:
...or upgrade to a 16GB card at last :D

Ok, booting now... yup, it worked! Argh, long night ahead to customize it again, but beggars can't be choosers!

[General Questions and Answers] ubershmekel:
I've googled, flashed, and worked on this for almost 24 hours straight now. My sister's Nexus S (crespo, i9020) can finally receive MMS messages but when attempting to send even a 50KB pic MMS the state is stuck on "sending..." for a few minutes and then fails.

I've tried:

* Fixing the APN settings.

* Changing the MMS useragent.

* Reverting to the stock rom.

* Installing NSCollab 1.0.39.

* Installing NSCollab and then flashing stock radio.

* I believe it isn't the SIM, plan or network's fault as when I transferred the SIM to a different phone (SGS2) there was no problem sending MMS messages.

* Using a different program to send - Go SMS.

* Sending myself an MMS.

* Read all 3 pages of google for a big amount of relevant queries.

Appendix - Things I should mention:

* Everything else works fine, HSPA, root, market, SMS, apps, etc.

* There is no official Nexus S support on this network, Orange in Israel doesn't carry Nexus S phones.

* There was one MMS that I was able to send to myself after clockwork installing NSCollab and flashing (using fastboot) the radio.img from stock 98f3836cef9e.signed-soju-GRI40-from-GRH78C.98f3836c but I don't know if that was somehow a lucky shot or not. After I titanium backup restored the old messages (just the data, not the app) I wasn't able to send anymore. Though there might be a chance that I wouldn't have been able to send more MMS's than one anyhow.

* APN Settings:

Name - MMS 3G

APN - uwap.orange.co.il

username - orange

password (probably) - orange

Server - <Not set>

MMSC - ht tp://192. 168.220.15/servlets/mms <-- spaces because I'm a newb and can't post url's.

MMS proxy - 192.118.11.55

MMS port - 8080

MCC - 425

MNC - 01

Auth Type - <Not set>

APN type - mms

As you know, all the google mobile service are disabled in China.

I have a new Xperia Ray recently, and find no GMS at all - after checking the system/app and find nothing related to google ( just check out , without root and unlock).

by the means of direct installing of some google APKS, I come back to use the gmail, Calendar, contact, mpas and search properly but still can not use the market.

I can install the vending.apk and open the market but can not download - there is always an unexpected corrupt of " com.android.vending " once I try to download.

how could I fully use the market properly? I don't want to root or unlock....

thanks & regards.
[Android] kms108:
if you live in china, you wont get much out of google, the market works in conjunction with the usim and it's location, and many links whether it's from the market or an internet will come out dead.

I only found this out when i used both a china usim and a hong kong usim, the china usim wont let me access many sites and download apps, whiles the hong kong usim will, both my card have data disabled, and all i use is wifi to download.

Also some apps wont show up with the china sim, you can also access the android market on the PC, and you will find many apps will be disabled and states not available for download with china sim, whiles if using a hong kong sim, the download is available.

there is a way to use the market, but i cannot be sure, try to get hold of a prepayed hong kong sim, and have all data disabled in the phone, then download using wifi.

with a prepayed hong kong usim, if you dont use it HKD2 will be deducted every month, but you must use it at least once in a while otherwise the usim will be disabled.

here are 2 games that wont show up in android market (phone/PC) if using a china usim

tapfish

coins vs zombies

i will be going to china next week, so i can test my hong kong usim there, and see if it lets me download using wifi.

i will report back.

[Android] kms108:
I understand, he also stated to use the market place, which wont work properly, and cannot download apps.
[Android] sillywybie:
:)

Thanks to all of above

you are right I can not download any apps from google market.

what's different between the ROM issued in different regions ? I suppose some codes in the rom of Chinese version to identify the USIM or something.

why someone can download apps properly using a hongkong version RAY with a Chinese USIM ??

confusing..............
[Android] kms108:
have you logged into google, even in china, they shouldn't block all download, only some.
[Android] sillywybie:
sure, I can log into the google market, also could view but download.

there is always the same " com.android.vending closed unexpectedly"

I suspect whether SE China add some code in the ROM or do something in the ROM. So does Google.
[Android] kms108:
i think the rom is the same worldwide, but china has altered the rom for china use only, it seems like some venders are blocked.

your best bet is to side load apps, through the memory card.

Hi,

I have big problems. I tried install new firmware on Superpad 3 and messed it up. Now good thing I got it back working with x600 v9 firmware, but problem is that now my internal memory shows it is full, however I have 4 GB internal memory card, so I cant install nothing from market. Does someone knows how to format internal memory for Superpad 3?

As well with firmare and firmware-discovery files, I just can`t do nothing, as I follow instruction, but my pad just doesn`t recognize that there is some firmware, tried different SD Cards.

Please help to get my pad back to normal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgomot:
Hello everyone, I think this is my first post here and I'd like to start by thanking the greater community for their fantastic work.

I recently purchased an HTC Desire, rooted it, S-OFFed, flashed LeeDroid's Froyo ROM, overclocked the CPU. Thanks again for the all of these and the guides that hellped me get everything working flawlessly.

I have a question regarding how A2SD and the internal storages work. I understand that by creating the EXT partition the system is fooled by taking that space as internal storage. However, with 33 user apps installed (according to Titanium BackUp) It shoes A2SD storage 787mb free out of a total of 0.96gb, while the internal storage shows 148mb with 66.53mb free.

I did search around and tried the commands in this thread and got this result

Is the A2SD partition not working? WHat will happen when those 66 free mb on the internbal storage get used up? Does the system allocate space from the A2SD partition selectively and I'm to understand that I actually have 66mb + 787mb free space for apps?

I'm sorry this turned out such a long post and I'd appreciate it if any of you took the time to set my mind at ease.

Regards.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Questions belong to Q&A section (mod will move it soon).

I am not familiar with this output. But your a2sd size gets smaller, so I guess it's working. If you use the two first mentioned commands I will be able to say if a2sd+ is woking or not.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
Your a2sd is working. The output shows simplified this:

app -> system/[b]sd[/b]/app
app-private -> system/[b]sd[/b]/app-private
dalvik-cache -> system/[b]sd[/b]/dalvik-cache

.

This means all apps you install will be automatically moved to sd card. Furthermore, your dalvik cache will also be moved to sd card.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgomot:
Thanks for your reply, that set my mind at ease.

However, if anybody feels like it I'd like to better understand how a2sd works. So if some could take the time to explain why the internal memory only has 66mb free and what happens when these are used up, I'd appreciate it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddyn94:
With A2SD the only the actual app-file is moved to sd. The app-data(which can sometimes be really large) remains on internal memory. So the app is only partly moved to sd-card. That is the reason why your internal memory gets used up even if your ext partition has enough free space.

Hope this helps you understand it a little better
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zgomot:
It does, but it doesn't totally answer my query. Is the internal storage hard capped or does it expand dynamically when what is shown now as free space gets used up.

end_of_message / COMPUTOR4500
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Maddyn94:
As far as I know the internal memory does not expand itself when used up.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MatDrOiD:
You cannot expand your internal storage. It's limited to nearly 440 mb. How much space you have for apps (or their data) depends on the hboot you use.

TouchPaled from Oxygen with Transparent XDA App
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kmaq:
some apps need to be in internal memory and may not work if they moved to sd card. that is the reason these apps are installed in internal memory. it is better, for security reasons the app data is in internal memory, if it is on sd card it will be open for any app to access it.

though you can try moving some apps manually from "Manage applications" to sd card. after moving if the app works fine good else you can move back to phone.

you can move dalvik-cache to sd to free up some internal memory space.

Unfortunally not. I have tried everything:

- tried every music player in the andoird market.

- deinstalled apps which are running as a service (which i found...)

- and at all: made a (hardware-) reset to the sg2 - so all programs and settings are set to the standard-settings. so i made no settings - only for bluetooth. Now i tried the standard-music-player and its the same problem. I think this is a "bug" or problem in android-os or in the sg2. That have nothing to do with an app.

Thank you very much

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatux:
Hey guys,

I just got my brand new Nexus S yesterday from a Mobilicity store, and I just noticed that after using it for a day, in the Application Settings --> Running Services menu in system preferences, it says that I have used 179 MB used and 116 MB free, that only equates to 295 MB of total RAM. I thought this phone had 512 MB of RAM installed ... what happened to the rest of my RAM O.o?

Does Android reserve like 200+ MB of RAM for the OS itself O.o? Personally I disabled the Live Wallpaper as it eats up resources.

Software I do have running in the background right now are: RealPlayer, Trillian, LiveProfile, Skype, Maps, Swype.

Thanks,

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deltatux:
Ye I was originally quoting that screen but the main issue is that I believe that its memory manager should show total free, total used and reserved spaces than just listing what isn't reserved.

Personally I thought my dealer shorted me out by selling me one with less than 512 MB RAM, then I came up with the possibility that it's just OS reserved which has now been confirmed.

If I was not very tech savvy I would have gone back and say, wtf happened to the rest of my memory? It could have been shown better or had an advanced view.

[General Questions and Answers] itsjefflol:
Alright so I'm not exactly new to smartphones by any means, I've owned a G1, MyTouch 3G, Cliq XT, Fuze, iPhone 3G, 3GS, Hero, Evo, HD2, Nexus One, etc.. I traded my G2 which I replaced the hinge spring on for a mint Vibrant. I have since added a ffc to my vibrant and put it on the latest CM7 nightly but I still kind of miss my G2. I love the phone but there are a few things I hate about it. I'm thinking about trading it for a MyTouch 4G. I have watched dogfights but I don't feel they apply to me since they are mostly about software and I plan to run whatever phone I get on CM7. How would you guys compare the Vibrant w/ FFC to a MyTouch 4G?

Here are some of my Pros for the Vibrant:

Super Amoled is just awesome

Size of the screen in general just seems perfect

The phone looks nice visually

Front Facing Camera

16gb internal storage

And Cons:

The phone is a damn smudge magnet, I can't seem to keep it clean.

No flash, I didn't think this through before getting the phone, I used the flashlight app on my G2 constantly.

Very limited options for good ROMs compared to other phones I've owned.

Not much RAM compared to the MyTouch 4G

Battery life SUCKS compared to my G2, and my G2 was overclocked to 1.2ghz just like my Vibrant is now, kinda sad considering the Vibrant has a bigger battery. Will the MyTouch offer similar battery life to the G2 since the processors are similar?

I'd like to get opinions from people that have owned both phones, but any opinions work. I want to know how you guys think the phones stack up with CM7 on each device and with the Vibrant having a ffc. Which phone would you rather have?

Trying to disable ext4 to flash AUDIO FTW and linda keeps telling me "not enough space on SD card"

The partition is still there from when I converted. So far I've wiped cahce and delvik and fixed permissions. Then removed the voodoo folder.

Still no dice. I don't have access to a microsd card reader so that options out. The fix that I know willl work is to reformat my card then add the partition again. So if anyone else has a better solution let me know. I swear it's like a love hate relationship with this chic.

When I was in that jam, I just went out to Walmart and bought another sd card... My sweet Linda has her own 4 gig (2048 partitioned) $12 card that she shares with whatever rom & the busybox installer (EXT4 starter kit)..

Of course, I learned the hard way about a ROM or two that likes to eat all files on SD card and yada, yada, yada.... :mad:

If your card is big enough, have you tired making another partition?? Sux that it eats up space, but it will get you by....

Yeah I like the extra card trick might have to go buy one. Yeah I can create as many partions as I like then just reformat the card to get space back. It's just a pain to do so all the time. Was just seeing if any else figured out a different solution.
