[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
What SD card are you using?

My SD card experiences so far after almost 10 months of running sense 3.5 Roms

Sandisk 8 GB class 2: less freezes on sense 3.5 ROMs but data is corrupted after a freeze. Card is not usable after a freeze, because it needs a format. Works with AOSP Roms with stock A2SD (AD2SDX or INT2SD doesn't).

Samsung 16GB class 6 (with blue text): A lot of freezes on sense 3.5 roms, but reboot without loss of data.

Sandisk 16GB Ultra class 6 (grey and red): same as above

Sandisk 32GB class 4 (German seller on eBay): works with sense 3.5 roms. I've had this card for about a month now, and still no freeze... (Touch wood) Even AD2SDX works. :confused:

After these experiences I think the SD card is an important, if not the most important factor. But no one can say what's the perfect SD card. I've heard a lot of problems with 16GB cards (Samsung mostly), but there are also users with exactly the same card without freezing problems. I had the best (flawless?) results with an eBay card... The price of that 32GB ebay card was the same as one single 16GB card from a "real" internet shop :rolleyes:

Low reception (=trigger) and the ROM are also important factors. But, this doesn't mean it's only Sense 3.5 causing the problem. Like you said: moving apps to sd on stock rom. I share my experiences with sense 3.5 ROMs because they are very heavy, especially with Data2sd sripts. But if the card supports that heavy load, you're fine I guess. So, in the end it comes down to the card.

You could send it back for repairs. But I don't know if they're able to repair anything... I mean, even if you get a new phone, it might be another "bad" phone. And if I were a technician and never heard of this problem, I wouldn't know where to start. They might even blame it on software.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr.winter:
I use a Sandisk Class 4 32GB Card, bought directly from Amazon Germany. Except the stock rom i never used a sense rom as i hate sense due to the high batery drain, the design and the lack of compfort. I prefere cyanogen mod.

If even the stock rom crashes, it seems to me that it is a hardware problem. In my oppinion it is a combination of the phone itselve, its radio module and the SD card.

But as so many people with totaly different cards have the same problem, it must be the phone hardware. If htc sells a phone with sd slot, they should make it reliable enough to be tollerant to all standard sd cards. But the desire was never a reliable phone. My first one had an OLED display and was regularely overheating, the exchange (LCD) allways caused sd problems, after a second excange at least the stock rom was running nice for a wile, but now even this does not work any more.

As my garanty is running out i am in a hurry. And to be honnest, i dont have the time and money to by 5 sd cards just to find a working one. As i need 32GB this would be quite expensive. And if i send it back, what do i have to loose? The worst thing that can happen is that the problem is not solved. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
Yeah you're right. You've still got that option of warranty, most of us don't. And the fact that you are having problems with the same card as the one that works perfectly for me (maybe another version), makes it even more confusing now.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr.winter:
If the cards are sold by the same company as the same model, this does not neccesary mean they are the same cards. A lot of electronic companys buy parts, assemble them and sell the resulting pruduct under their name. And even if both cards are produced by sandisk, they might have been produced on different machines or in different factorys resulting in different products.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ronok:
That was the long version of what I meant with "maybe another version" ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasto9:
My solution

I have Kingston SD card - 8gb, 4class, 1gb ext4. I had these freezing problem after loosing 3G reception and switch to Edge. It freezing everytime. I used CM7, MIUI, Sense 3.5, Mildwild. Result with these ROMs --- freezing. I used a2sdx and i think in that was my problem. I changed ROM to CM7

with

INT2SD and now

NO FREEZING

, even with edge signal. That ROM you can find on XDA.

I hope this help someone. ;)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nlooooo:
I had the same card and never managed to get rom fully operational with a2sdx, always a bunch of lags. After purchasing Transcend 16gb class 10, no problems with any script.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr.winter:
Sounds interesting. Since when are you running the rom? It seems to me like in the beginning most roms are stable. The problems start after some days or weeks. Lets hope your combination stays stable.

Update for my phone: After it crashed one night on the Stock Rom (charging, screen of, on the table) without any sd activity, i sent it in for repair/exchange. Still wayting for a result.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prasto9:
I have to say you're right. After one week it start freezing again. Now i trying new SD card (transcend 8Gb 2class), hope it will be better..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blues_man:
new SD card and adhesive tape solved the problem

I had the same problem with frequent freezes especially when EDGE data connection was in use. So I replaced the old SD card (Sandisk 8 GB class 4) by a new Tanscend 16 GB class 10. Additionally I put a piece of adhesive tape on the back of the SD to make it fit tightly into the SD slot. Now everything is working fine!

edit:

I tested the old SD card using H2testw, no errors were reported. Very stange, so obviously no hardware problem of the SD itself...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herr.winter:
Lets hope that is a permanent solution for you. Pleas keep us updatet if it still runs fine after 1 or 2 weeks.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blues_man:
Up to now everything works perfectly since I exchanged the SD card. Not a single freeze even on three train rides with lots of switches between GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA data connections... :o
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blackeagle93:
anybody tried this sd card?
[MENTION=4635986]blues_man[/MENTION]: still no freezes?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sdvwdvw:
Another one

Sorry to dig up this old Thread again, only discovered it recently.

Does anyone have a stable Rom/Radio/Bootloader/Kernel etc. configuration?

My Phone was rock solid when I bought in its stock configuration ( Android 2.2 ), early type european OLED in brown

I experience EDGE-Freezes regularly, although only they seem restricted to some Network cells.

Alongside, No App except Internet Browser can access the mobile Data.

Another thing is that sometimes I cant send SMS from phonebook or call a number from phonebook. A Guy from the Network provider told me that I should try to type it in manually, which works.

Freezing stops when I turn off Mobile Networks and especially Bluetooth. It is kind of uncertain with battery comsumption. Occasionally it will last three days, and then it will discharge within 6 hours, especially when locking up.

Because it seems radio-related I tried different ones:

5.17.05.08 ( stock, and now ) -> freezes

5.17.05.23 -> freezes

I heard about some Sandisk-Issue, so I tried the following without success, even efter squashing the mounts:

Kingston 4GB

Sandisk 8GB

Transcend 32 GB

Roms:

Stock 2.2: Stable

CM7: Stable, but I wanted Sense back

Sleepy Cat: with Sense: Freezes, crashes

InsertCoin 1.1.3 and 1.1.4: Edge Crashes and recently no Internet ( as mentioned )

Current Configuration:

Bootloader: Revolutionary HBOOT 6.93.1002

Recovery: Clockworkmod Recovery 5.0.2.0

ROM: Insertcoin 1.1.3

If that's for LTE version, it won't fit in the GSM version.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
its 50 bux
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Buddy Revell:
Yeah, I was disappointed to hear about that. I want an extended and/or spare battery for my GSM Nexus.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rubiconjp:
I think for us GSM folks, the Korean 2000 mAH extended battery will be the best bet. Just have to watch ebay for it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernalman7:
The GSM Galaxy Nexus has launched in many Asian markets as of now. Extended battery, genuine or not, will come very soon!

Now it's selling in:

- Hong Kong

- Australia

- Thailand
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] GR36:
I think you need a bigger back with the Korean battery though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Goat_For_Sale:
Does your new battery have and NFC chip on it? the Gnex default battery has the NFC chip if you are not using a battery with this you will loose your nfc functionality.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] criDikal:
i bought the 2100mAh this morning, $37.49 with corp discount.

EDIT: battery also came with battery cover as well and appears to be NFC compliant.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] avesik:
if it comes with a battery cover, do you think it would fit in a GSM phone ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] milan03:
I couldn't find the extended battery on verizon's site. They only had car dock, case and some nonsense.

Is it available online?
[Nook Touch General] dundir:
All of the rooting guides and searches I've found say the NST must be registered prior to taking any of the rooting steps.

Is there a way to root the device and then register it later? (i.e. Skip OOBE steps, root, register)

The reason I ask is I plan on giving the gift of a rooted nook and the person who's going to get it already has a B&N account. Thanks in advance.
[Nook Touch General] apeine:
Dundir,

Registering with B&N is not mandatory prior to rooting. I just don't know if it can be done later on, but I don't see any reason why it couldn't be done.
[Nook Touch General] ns130291:
After rooting you/the other person can run the app "Oobe Reg".

This way worked for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
Post here if you do get the update i didnt get any update yet
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evercleardoc:
No update here for me either for the past few days in NYC.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] evercleardoc:
nevermind. Just rebooted the phone and the update popped up!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] K.AuthoR:
Curious, does anyone know what the difference in 4.0.2 is?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] gabster21:
The update is said to improve the radio /baseband for better quality. We had earlier speculated that the update would be 4.1, we were wrong on the version, but not it does seem that we were close on the effects of the update. Stay tuned, as I am sure it will be a big day of news, as the Nexus and Ice Cream Sandwich finally become a reality for America. I would also expect a line or two at most Verizon stores. Who plans on picking one up tomorrow? Let us know in the comments.

This morning I got an update message so I went to initiate it and my phone rebooted but during the process the Android fell over dead and a "!"

Same here... I'm running Revolution HD. How about you?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] flameinthefire:
anyone noticed any changes? i didnt see anything new at all
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] JewRican:
i could be wrong for sure, but i think the update failing may be because of Clockworks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] DirgeExtinction:
Got my update a few minutes after activating my phone. :)
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] georgepink:
According to: http://support.verizonwireless.com/pdf/system_update/samsung_galaxy_nexus_instructions.pdf

you should contact VZ at www.verizonwireless.com/contactus if it fails twice

After my update failed, I copied the .zip from /cache and tried to install it with CWM.

I get:

assert failed: getprop("ro.product.device") == "toro" || getprop("toro.build.product") == "toro"

(Status 7)

So I guess I'll just wait for the devs to fix it up. I should note that I am using a Nandroid backup someone posted here http://rootzwiki.com/topic/11459-updatedvzw-g-nexus-full-nandroid/

[EVO 4G General] smartguy10:
I was offered two phone choices nexus s and epic touch for my EVO as the phone is having hardware issues with the 4g connection . Replacement choices where offered by sprint tech support .

Any thoughts on the phones choices, don't need keyboard that leaves me with nexus
[EVO 4G General] roids87:
I take it they offered you the Epic 4g, and not the Epic 4g Touch? If it was the original Epic they offered I would go with the Nexus S. I really have nothing to back that as I haven't handled either phone, I have just heard some bad things about the Epic.
[EVO 4G General] dased14:
Did tech say you would have to take it to a store to swap out or that they would mail you one. Reason I ask is the wife is having problems with her epic 4G (random reboots and freezing screen to name a few) and they told me that i have to go to a store to swap out that they don't mail replacments out anymore.

now the voices are customized in 3d
[EVO 4G General] smartguy10:
no they can do mail replacement if you ask .

I already bought so many accessories for evo extended batteries, car mount I guess time to get rid of them. Yeah old epic touch was offered
[EVO 4G General] stevovanburen:
Hey,

If you are going to go that route get the nexus, but it really isnt fair they are trying to gip you out into a cheaper phone. They tried to do the same for me...

Either call tech support or complain to them in your sprint store and they will give you another evo! Worked for me at least! ;)

If not just see if they will cut you a deal to upgrade and get a newer evo!

Goodluck!

Stevo:D
[EVO 4G General] tropicalbrit:
Are you sure it was the Epic Touch? Highly doubt that. The Epic Touch doesn't have a keyboard, but the original Epic does.

If indeed it was the Epic Touch, get it. If it was the original Epic, get the Nexus S. Far better, pure Google, not plagued by the problems of the Epic, guaranteed updates, newer, better development.....
[EVO 4G General] alxrock:
I'm guessing that each time you say Epic Touch, you mean the Epic 4G (Galaxy S).

The Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII) uses the word TOUCH to indicate that it has no keyboard (touchscreen only)

If this is the case, the Nexus would be the way to go, which is nice since ICS update should be coming in a few weeks.

I'm surprised they didn't give an option to upgrade to the EVO 3d.

If they offer the Epic 4G Touch (Galaxy SII), then it's probably the best choice.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedloza:
Hello Everybody,

Am kinda new to the development stuff on Android, so excuse me if am asking a silly questions

i wanted to ask about the 2.3.7 Roms for Desire HD, i have noticed some issues about these roms and i want some clarifications about how to fix about it

1- I can not link the contacts with facebook or twitter or any other social app.

2- When i connect the phone to the pc i got only one feature that to mount the sd card storage instead of having the normal options from 2.3.5 roms (charge only, htc sync...etc)

3-The market can not recognize my device.

4- I can not automatically restore the apps from the market after setting the rom up

5- The maps, Latitude and all location apps could not get automatic permission to access my Gmail account

That's mainly the points i had noticed so far

so if somebody can advice about how to fix about this issues i will be very thankful

Thanks everybody in advance
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Hi there @Mohamedloza.

May I ask what ROM are you using right now? Judging by your words, I bet you are using AOSP rom, yes?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yeah I bet your right. It is either an AOSP rom or MIUI rom. Both will do this.

As for Google and Facebook, Google no longer supports syncing to Facebook (thank god) on its own. Install the Facebook app if you want it to sync to FB.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apologize1986:
what is the difference among 2.3.x?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedloza:
Thanks everybody for your quick answers

i do not know what do you mean with MIUI roms or AOSP rom

right now am using this rom

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1320941

this happens for every rom i use with 2.3.7 version (it's volume is always around 100 MB)

but for the roms with 2.3.5 version and it's weight is above 300 MB everything goes fine

Does this make any sense for you?

Waiting your feedback ASAP

Best Regards,
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
OK your using an AOSP rom which means it is Android Open source Project. These roms use nothing made by the manufacturer. Including the drivers for the phone. There are some draw backs to it though as the open source drivers used doesn't make full use of the hardware. Think of it like a PC. Yes you can find open source drivers for your hardware but the drivers from the OEM will always be better as it is built for the device.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dstylazz:
1. Not sure (Possibly related to a similar issue as question 4, Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Add Facebook Account

2. I believe that is a Sense only feature

3. Give it about 2-3 hours and the market will recognise you device again (Be sure to access the market from your mobile at lease once and except the T&C's).

4. Make sure the ROM you flashed has GApps installed with it and that you have linked the accounts (I.E had the prompt to sign in to google, if not the you will find the option in Settings>Accounts&Sync>Add Account>Google Account, if not then be sure to flash it after first boot of ROM (A quick search of the form will find you a copy of GApps).

5. Don't know the answer to this one either.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drpsyko:
Okay, you are now using Absolution ROM, based from CyanogenMod 7.2RC, which is indeed an AOSP rom. As clarified by posts above, Facebook and other social app linking are Sense optimized. BUT, the syncing feature is still available in the ROM, but without automatic syncing. Either you have to manually set and link every contact in your phone, or simply merge them in the People app setting.

The HTC Sync and all the other stuffs you've mentioned before is HTC Sense exclusive.

About the market unable to recognise your phone, try to clean up the market cache/data in application setting.

Due to different framework of AOSP, the automatic app restore is disabled.

You can either clear the Google Map cache/data or uninstall and update the app to the latest version available, 6.0.2.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedloza:
Thanks a lot everybody

that was really helpful for me... i really appreciate your help

well then it seems that all the roms with 2.3.7 is AOSP (is not it? if not please refer me to one full rom please)

Thanks again everybody

Merry Christmas for you all :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Nope all 2.3.7 roms are AOSP but you also have MIUI which is not AOSP
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mohamedloza:
and what is MIUI?

and that's mean i have to get 2.3.5 roms only if i need HTC sense ?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
Yes sense based roms are on 2.3.5. Not alot of diff to be honest. As MIUI, a search will tell you that. Nothing personal I just don't like it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] myscue:
I think this is ROM's problems, you can view this ROM's developer's post, maybe it can help you .
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Alaa-:
MIUI Is AOSP also

i think u want the facebook for htc sense to do so. if ir using aosp roms u can download an app that is called contaapp or something like that. the link that u know is just for sense roms
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
MIUI is not AOSP. MIUI is a closed source kang of CM. But with it being closed source it is not considered AOSP

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] wheelerr:
I've never had a phone that doesnt have an SD card. So I flashed roms left and right and didnt have to worry about a lot of data like music and pictures and stuff on my phone.

Does the clockwork for the nexus avoid wiping certain folders to preserve some of that data or am I going to have to deal with losing everything every single time i want to do a data wipe for a new rom or something? I thought I read it did something like this for the nexus s. Is it functioning the same for the galaxy nexus?

Thanks!

Yes. When using CWM, it avoids wiping anything in the //sd card/ folder. Although when unlocking the bootloader for the first time this will wipe EVERYTHING so make sure to backup!

.. sure, I could use ConnectBot and make a VPN-connection on my own but what will happen when I lose the internet-connection for while? I don't think that its automaticly reconnection via ConnectBot.
