[Eee Pad Transformer Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ananasnonym:
Hello everybody!

This is my first post after reading for endless hours in the DEV thread for setting up native Ubuntu on my TF. (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1191141)

I installed dualboot Ubuntu strictly after the instructions of lilstevie and got everything working (including WLAN w/ WPA2). :D

The only thing I haven't managed: AUDIO is not working, even the headphones remain quiet!! It is really important to me and it is said that from the 3,5mm jack sound SHOULD work, i can't figure out what the problem could be... :confused:

Anyone an idea?

thx

For the life of me, I CANNOT get A2SD to work properly.

ROM: MIUI 1.9.16

SD Card: 16GB w/ 1GB EXT4 partition

Problem:

When I do a fresh install of MIUI (wipe cache, wipe dalvik, wipe data/factory reset) A2SD+ in settings->system->storage says available and used are "0.00B".

If I use dark tremor a2sd install scripts, they 'claim' to have activated the space. It appears space is used on it too (around 100mb, despite previous wipe of all data which says it wipes SD-EXT). When new apps install they east away at my meager "internal" storage (IE: 20mb remaining) and my programs area says I ahve a total of something like 200mb of storage (shouldn't this change to over 1GB because of the partition?!).

As of right now I've restored my previous install, which says "0.00B" for A2SD+, and I have a 1GB EXT4 partition sitting here doing nothing.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
a2sd is auto on MIUI after flash/reboot--shouldn't need to run scripts--but you can

try reformatting sdcard outside of phone and with sdformatter, then partition it as ext3 0 swap

ext4 never worked quite right for me

then fresh install with system/data/cache wipes 3 times each
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Thanks for the reply. What's with this common habit of wiping 3 times? Doesn't wiping just unlink all the inodes from the partition table, then mark the sectors as free space anyways?

Anyway, MIUI at flash point never picks up this partition. I will try changing it to EXT3 and seeing what happens.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I am not a tech, but I think the phone doesn't do thorough job. That's why I format outside phone. Don't know for sure on System wipe, but most peolple recommend 3 or more times on data/caches.

I have been using these methods for quite awhile now and have much fewer flash issues between roms. Thanks to Temasek on his Format zips--------:)

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Well would you look at that. Fresh flash of the ROM with an EXT3 partition and it works! Didn't have to flash any DT zip. Thanks!

EDIT:

After using MIUI backup to restore my apps and stuff, I'm already out of space. My sd-ext isn't being used! how do I fix this?!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
Your Welcome--:)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Sorry for double post, but I spoke too soon. A2SD still doesn't appear to be working correctly. I've attached a few screenshots to help show what I'm talking about. Titanium backup doesn't see the space (I don't think) either. It appears MIUI sees the space available... but doesn't use it. I just did an a2sd zipalign, followed by a a2sd cachesd to move the dalvik cache to the SD card which helped my space woes a bit, but my a2sd partition seems to be completely unused, other than the dalvik cache!
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GuestX0019:
I can't view your thumbs, get error on page. May be my work computer

Had that happen once and a2sd was doing its thing, just not showing in Root Explorer as ext being used

Do you have any low mem warnings

You could try Quick System from market and see what it says
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Your A2SD is working fine. As you can see, you have >100 MB of apps installed on it (0.94GB SD-EXT partition size, 832MB free). The reason you still see your internal memory being used is - 1) Dalvik-cache is still on the internal memory, 2) App data is still on internal memory. You can change that in A2SD GUI settings. If it tells you that Dalvik is already on SD - it's lying, the app isn't too correct, the script is much more correct. You can run the script to move Dalvik to SD in that case.

And the integration of A2SD isn't system-wide - actually, the system has no idea that A2SD is present, and doesn't report anything else for its partition sizes but the original sizes.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjai117:
Jack_R1, after a random soft reset occurred, titanium now shows the a2sd. Thanks for clearing some of the information up for me:).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
can automatically stop certain programs from auto-starting? I downloaded the wonderful Elixir 2 program and it showed me (and yes, I know that the OS would have showed as well), that apps like Stocks, First Aid, and Trillian were loaded/running even though I had not started these apps since the last reboot.

Is there a way to stop rogue apps from autostarting?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpradley:
Why do you need to stop them? What makes you think that they shouldn't start?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
???

Well, I am not sure WHY they need to start, but I am sure that they take up memory. "First Aid" is certainly an app that can start up when needed, no need to run in the background. Same for the others.

That said, the original question remains. Anyone know of an app that can adjust the autostart of apps that have no business starting automatically?

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Interesting

First - Thank you for responding to the question! I have downloaded and run the app. It certainly professes to do what I was asking. Stopped some apps from loading, but others seem to be more persistent (does Titanium Backup need to run on boot? MyBackupPro? Don't think so). Thank you!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Read the hundreds of posts on task killers. Unless you are having a problem with a particular app, it is best left alone. If the memory being used for the app in question is "needed", android will kill it on its own.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
only came across 2 apps that run constantly in background vs cached like their supposed to. Fbook and okcupid. autostart managers sorta work but they break functions
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
In a perfect world, every app on your device would start at boot and reside in RAM. I've never understood this idea that killing apps somehow conserves resources or saves power, because it does neither. In fact, it does the OPPOSITE. For instance, Trillian: Do you REALLY want to kill it whenever you're not using it, only to reopen it the next time you want to use it? That eats about 4 times more power than just leaving it running. NOTHING your cpu does eats more power than reading and writing to NAND. RAM should be as full as possible all of the time with as many apps as are recently or likely to be used. RAM operations consume FAR less power than NAND operations. Unless the app is simply an abusive piece of crap, like Amazon's market and music apps, there's usually a reason for them to run. Titanium Backup never starts unless it's got a reason to, in my experience, such as scheduled auto-backup operations. The better question to ask is why apps are starting at boot, not "Where can I get one more resource-hogging app to whip bad behavior into shape?"
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I agree with this 100%.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
Yes But

Yes - I get all that, but it bugs the heck out of me that some of these apps feel the need to auto run and worse still, are classified as "self restarter" by the recommended app.

On a cold power-up (I charge with the power off), and without running any apps (in response to the Titanium reference above), the following apps not only started, but restarted when stopped: Appstore, Ebay, Elixir, Mortplayer Audio Book, MyBackup Pro, ROM Manager, Stocks, Titanium Backup, Trillian, Wordsmith, and XDA. Mind you, I am not including apps that SHOULD start up (swype, timeriffic, lookout, etc).

Why any of those apps start on power-on is beyond me, and why almost all of them are set by their respective authors to restart if they are shut down, is even more perplexing. Hence my desire to try to reign them in, especially since they are taking 20MB each of RAM. That's the story :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
Got me on a few of those, but other ones make all kinds of sense. Any app store sort of app is going to start to authenticate with the service. Amazon is known to do this abusively. The same would probably apply with audio books. MyBackup Pro is probably assuming there's a scheduled function to perform. Stocks is just part of Sense and it doesn't go away. TiBU has never started on any device I've had it on unless 1 of 2 things was the case; I ran the widget or had something scheduled. Trillian SHOULD start up because it's a chat client. If it's not running, it's not much good as a chat client. Not sure what Wordsmith is. XDA will start because it's set by default to sync on a regular basis if you're signed into it.

I don't know what to tell you. You're probably never going to find a way of permanently killing an app connected to a market, and if you do, whatever you use from that market probably won't work right. The best I can say is figure out why those apps you listed do what they do. There's probably a reason that can be fixed or better understood. Some, like Trillian, will self-start no matter what because failure to do so is a MUCH more aggravating issue than the app starting with nothing to do.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dyetheskin:
only 2 I have that aggravate me is Fbook and okcupid. understandable if both run and autostart for push capabilities but I've disabled sync and push and still runs in background vs cached in background like it's supposed to
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonatik78:
I don't think Facebook is worried about their app being accused of greatness or winning development awards!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] POQbum:
True however some of the apps that are residing in RAM, pop up and do updates and checks that do eat data and cpu than if they were killed. Most apps don't do this and typically it's bad to kill apps because the act of killing it uses CPU and especially the act of that app starting back up uses more CPU.

----

RAM is not an issue so don't even consider it one, even if your RAM is full it doesn't matter. This doesn't run like Windows does where things slow down if you don't have enough RAM.

Most apps that use resources in the background I uninstall, but for others (I think I only do this to 1 app) you can use "autostarts" to disable them from starting upon launch, or stopping them from starting upon other events that may trigger an app to automatically start

https://market.android.com/details?id=com.elsdoerfer.android.autostarts&hl=en

It has much more control over when apps automatically launch than the other app I saw posted on the main page- also it doesn't kill them, just prevents them from starting so it's not like an app killer.

Hope this was what you were looking for.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gutiejor:
Let it be

Just let the programs start to let the phone fully awaken

Then kill the apps with any klling apps app :) task killers and so on

I have been using Autostarts for a long time now and am very pleased with it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tiny4579:
I read that this is a bad habit carried over from pre-froyo days where memory management was different and this was recommended then. I don't have a link but trust me and don't just kill stuff like that.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] T-Keith:
Wow, I'm not sure my post deserved such a snotty response. What you are asking for is a task killer, which is why I recommended reading posts on task killers. I'm sorry if this was not clear. I'm surprised other have had the patience to try to explain this to you after that post.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] byrong:
Tweaking the auto-start behavior of apps is completely different from using a task killer.

Also, this isn't just about memory, as some are making it out to be. Some apps use background data. Some social apps will always show the user as "online" since the app starts itself at start-up. Some users may prefer to prevent that.

Some of my apps I only use once a week (or less). Why would I want them starting at every reboot, trying to sync meaningless data, showing me as "online," etc?

I don't use a task killer, but Autostarts is great for keeping my phone running lean.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hgoldner:
All good points, but I think jdmba is, like me, annoyed by apps that autostart at some point, not necessarily at boor-up, without the specific necessity to do so.

For instance, the Google Music beta application is currently the only way to stream music from a Google Music account, yet it will automatically play a random track if it detects and open bluetooth audio connection not being used (and sometimes even when it IS being used). I have tried Autostarts but it couldn't detect the trigger.

There's no reason for that app to start unless I ask it to.

Btw, I read recently somewhere that any available RAM on Android id wasted RAM.

Hi All!

Few days ago i got my HTC HD2 TMOUS from eBay seller.

It was stuck on Stick Together logo. I has flashed radio. Wipa with task 29 and install stock ROM. It wont start. I saw this logo and nothing more. But it was at night. Today in the morning I have tried to power up it. And it stats without any problems. And it works for 3 hours. After that time i restart it. And now the same picture. It wont boot. And after 1 hour it power up properly. Whats wrong with it? I has flashed many roms radios. Wipe it. Try mtty. Nothing works. What I can do? Sorry for my bad engliah. Thanks a lot.

Put it in a clear food freezer bag, seal it up & put it in the fridge for an hour & then use it a bit or leave it in the fridge running a video & check it every 15 minutes & interact with the phone to see it working ok.

If working ok or much better while cool & in the fridge then indeed the maniboard is bad & needs replacing or a cpu rework .

Most of the eBay used HD2s are trash with bad repairs or intermitant hardware faults, if you can get your money back do so ...

Download connect bot

click the ssh dropdown and pick local, put a nickname

in terminal type "su" without quotes

after your $ turns to # type getprop ril.MSL

the readout is your msl, comes in handy for when you're doing late night dev and can't get ahold of sprint, or just don't feel like lying lol.

EDIT: to use su you need root access, I'm not sure if this works without superuser permissions, this was the first command I've tried

okay, just tried, and you DO NOT need to use su, you can just type getprop ril.MSL and you will get the same readout :P

Any idea how to get past this?

Switching from $ to # denotes switching to root user id, so that is expected given you aren't rooted.

However, you don't need to be rooted to run "getprop ril.MSL"

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Not sure what is going wrong. It works on stock unrooted. Are you sure you are typing MSL in caps and ril in lower case? You have it right in your post, but sometimes people type different things not realizing it is case sensitive.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Are you doing this from a terminal? The swype keyboard is incapable of entering a lower case "I" so you would never be able to type "ril.MSL". It'll always be converted to "rIl.MSL" even if you turn of auto-capitalization.

Instead you should switch to the other included keyboard or do it from adb shell.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JimSmith94:
Wow, no lower case "I"? That alone is enough to keep me from ever trying Swype! :eek:
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
It's not a generic feature. It just behaves that way in the included Terminal. In messaging and browser, it behaves as expected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] DataHawg:
The terminal emulator method is easier in my opinion
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Yup, I always type getprop ril.MSL. Obviously type "su" (no quotes) and hit enter then enter getprop ril.MSL then write it down and keep in a safe place. You will need ut if you want to make any dialer code adjustments (such as WiMax strength and timeout)
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Kn0wBuddy:
Why "obviously"?

Using a terminal emulator (like ConnectBot) in LOCAL and entering getprop ril.MSL gives you your MSL on our E4TGs. This does not require superuser, so typing "su" is unnecessary.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
If it didn't give access I meant. Like when I use "Terminal Emulator " app not Connectbot I usually have to enter su. I haven't used Connectbot in ages
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
His point was it does give access in Terminal...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] Khilbron:
For swype I had to go to messaging and type ril.MSL and save it to the dictionary. Then go into terminal and type getprop ril.MSL to get it to enter properly.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cbpagent72:
Swype can type ril just fine follow these directions and you will have it working on Swype not to mention it will work for those other times Swype trys to auto correct other words.

Go into setting from your home screen then go to language and keyboard then select Swype settings then click on word suggestion and uncheck auto-correction and your good to go.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] JohnCorleone:
Well then, I stand corrected.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] sfhub:
Did you try what you suggested?

"Auto Correction" was already turned off and it was doing the ril->rIl conversion anyway. In addtion, turned off "Word suggestion" and "Auto capitalization" and after you type "ril" it still converts it to "rIl". It only does this in terminal. Messaging and Browser all behave as expected.

I didn't try the dictionary suggestion above, so it is possible that might work.

its on boost so I guess I can't call sprint :) the getprop ril.MSL does not work (yes samsung keyboard yes MSL caps yes ril lower case not rIl

it just goes to next line no result forthcoming.

I have cdma workshop but I can't seem to find what COM port the phone is on. does it need to be in some special mode or something?

under USB controllers I fine samsung but no com port listed and under PORTS (COM & LPT) nothing for samsung

samsung drivers installed I CAN access the phone via usb no problem.

suggestions?

data is not working I need to reset data so the phone will initialize again this requires me to ##MSL# so I need the MSL.

Finally got CDMA to see the phone (com5) apparently you need debugging enabled to see it in cdma

SO did that but when I select "samsung default" and enter 01F2030F5F678FF9 as the password it says password not accepted.

the phone will then never respond to cdma again until I reboot the computer.

suggestions?
