[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yaythan:
It sounds like your sd-ext is buggered beyond what 4EXT can fix

Have you tried deleting your sd-ext partition then recreating a new one? You will lose its contents but its worth a try.

In the past when I have had sd-ext problems I just backed up the contents of the SD then in gparted removed all partitions, recreated the partitions and formatted to the FAT32 for the main partition then EXT3/4 for the 2nd partition. Then restored the data on the FAT32 partition
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
I tried doing that before but the same problem occurs again.

I've just used SDMaid to clear everything it could, and now I can install a few apps.

In Titanium Backup and SDMaid, the free space conflicts with what 4Ext said before (after updating 4ext, it now says the same as below. The names for internal and sd-ext are swapped round because I'm using a2sdx):

System Rom: 262 MB (47.5 MB free)

Internal: 2.11 GB (1.61 GB free)

SD Card: 264 MB free)

SD card (a2sd): 154 MB (3.51 MB free)

Before I used SDMaid this was full. It did say the same in aLogcat - "No free space!" when installing apps.

Obviously with a2sdx it swaps round the internal with sd-ext, but it looks as if it's not using the 2.11 GB partition very much but filling the 154 MB one.

I don't understand why it's not filling what it thinks is the internal partition. Is there any way to move the apps and stop others from installing there?

EDIT: Just wiped everything including partitions, redid the partitions, started complete fresh with 0.10.1 and it happens again. This is really starting to annoy me a lot.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Right, looking at the page for amarullz a2sdx (called amarullz ad2sdx there) it says that 3rd Party App Data, System App Apk and 3rd Party Apk is on the SD-ext partition, which the system reads at the internal memory. The System App Data and Dalvik Cache is on the actual internal memory. Is it that with 100 or so apps that I have installed that the Desire's internal memory is too small to cope with it? Because whenever I clear the Dalvik Cache, I can install a few more apps because it clears what the system thinks is "a2sd" (sd maid).

According to SDMaid (after using it and clearing the Dalvik cache, as the "App2SD" is usually full):

Partition: (used/total)

Android OS: 213MB/250MB

Internal Data: 430MB/1.97GB

Sdcard: 402MB/13.05GB

App2SD 138MB/148MB
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
If no one can fix this irritating problem then I'll have to switch to data2sd.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
PM'ed amarullz who hopefully can help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
Maybe you already solved it now, but i had similar problems. Internal memory was filled pretty quickly, and that was mainly because of the big dalvik cache. You can view the dalvik cache size with

du -hcs /sd-ext/dalvik-cache

. On stock hboot the /data partition, which is mounted into /sd-ext, is too small to hold the whole dalvik. So you'll have to use stock a2sd (where you can move dalvik to sd-ext) or cm7r2 hboot, where there's more space on internal.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
Thanks! This must be the cause of my problem. What is cm7r2 hboot and what are the benefits of using it?

If I use stock a2sd, will I need to use it every time I install an app and where will the other files be (apk/data)?

Is there any way to have the System apk and System app data on internal memory, and everything else (dalvik cache, 3rd party apk and 3rd party app data) on the sd-ext (not fat 32 sd partition)? So basically, I need amarullz ad2sdx but with the dalvik cache on the sd-ext partition and the system app data on the internal memory. If I intergrate the system apps into the rom and then use some a2sd commands, would this achieve this, and would this affect backing up and flashing new roms?

Would dalvik2sd be of any help?

Is the above the best way to manage it for performance when I install a lot of apps and have a class 10 16GB SD card and why does the ICS thread recommend saying no to moving app data to sd-ext?

Is there any way to separate system app data/apk and 3rd party with the stock a2sd scripts?

Also I tried data2sd but it didn't appear to do anything - after installing 10 apps the internal memory was full with no changes in size to any partitions and I couldn't see the sd-ext partition at all. I thought d2sd moved everything to the sd card's fat 32 partition.

I had considered using the app Link2sd, but "Link2SD does not move application's private data files; it moves apk, dex (dalvik-cache) and lib files". Does this mean it doesn't move app data?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
I tried stock a2sd with Y, Y, Y and after installing a load of apps it says "Insufficient storage available" for each new app (apart from a few small apps dotted around the middle of the sea of Insufficient storage available errors). Titanium Backup says that every partition has loads of free space.

In recovery it says the "Cache" partition is nearly full. How can I move this to the sd-ext partition (not the dalvik cache)?

Also, does stock a2sd with Y, Y, Y, do the same thing as data2sd and do I need to do a2sd install each time I install a new app?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muellersmattes:
CM7R2 is a different hboot with a modified partition table. It has a bigger /data partition, that's the main benefit. Most about the different hboots (and how to get s-off and flash them) is in the beginner guides around, detailed partition table chart is on alpharev.nl.

If you once activate stock a2sd, it will stay like this until you reflash.

I can't tell if you can move dalvik cache to sd-ext with amarullz. Maybe you can modify the script, but i suppose that won't be that easy. You can't combine stock a2sd and amarullz, you'll have to choose one.

Oxygen Data2SD should move to your ext partition (not fat). But i never used it, so can't tell if it works or not, and i don't know what is moved and what stays on internal.

Link2SD didn't work for me properly on ICS, though i used it on Gingerbread. App data mostly is not that big, so there's no need to move that to sd-ext. That's also the reason why YNY is recommended on stock a2sd, because that way app data is loaded faster.

The "insufficient storage" error seems to occur quite often on stock a2sd. Try searching the ICS dev thread, it's explained somewhere.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkIceGB:
If that's basically the only difference, I won't bother with a different hboot.

I didn't mean dalvik cache but just the 'cache'. I already moved the dalvik cache with amarullz last time.

I couldn't do YNY because my app data folder was too big!

Oxygen Data2SD didn't do anything for me and Link2SD caused A LOT of problems for me, the piece of junk (doesn't move the app's files either).

In another post, someone posted a link and in that link I found someone else who posted how to move the 'cache'. My problem at the moment is that some apps have taken up all the space so I need to move it to the SD card because I can't install any more apps, so I'm going to move the cache.

EDIT: It only mentions the Dalvik Cache, NOT the Cache in the Darktremor Apps2SD link.

I'll try it, but it looks like it's back to square one. Says here: "cachesd - Moves Dalvik cache files to the ext2/ext3/ext4 partition on your secure digital card. Creates Dalvik Cache to SD flag."

EDIT2: I found here that using Mount2SD there's an option to move the Cache when it's too small! But I can't find a download link. :(

EDIT3: Found it!
[HTC One X] submission7:
Do you have to use the white charger that comes with it or can I use my old desire hd black rounded one. I'm just thinkng that the voltage or ampage or whatever it is may be different. Looking to keep a charger in the office you see. Also does it make a difference in terms of battery life and general goodness for the phone if you charge connected to your pc. Much obliged
[HTC One X] :
No you'll be fine with both. Both will state their outputs on them, and both will be 5VDC at 1A. Generally any charger with a micro usb plug on the end will be charging at 5v. Charging current capacities vary. My wife's blackberry charger also works, but only has 600mA output current so charging the phone could take 40% longer. I've been using my desire charger on my onex.

The main reason to keep with HTC chargers, is that the cheap ebay Hong Kong stuff generally have cheap AC/DC converters in them, and are poorly regulated. This can cause a number if problems witha smart phone, such as heating and damaging the battery, and touch screen interference.

Charging froma PC USB output limits the charging to 500mA, so obviously will take twice as long as your HTC wall charger to get a full charge.
[HTC One X] 99RedB:
I've been using the charger for my HTC Desire with my One X since I got it - simply because it was already plugged in ;) I've had no problems with charging.
[HTC One X] bl0wf1sh:
Not working with Moto charger

Well, I am in the situation now that somehow the One X will not accept the Motorola Atrix (US) charger (I am in Singapore, but chargers "convert" automatically in my experience). It works fine though when plugged into the PC, but obviously will take a very long time to charge that way.

*edit*

It worked with the Moto charger once the battery charge was up to about 20%. When it was 2%, phone would only accept USB (or, potentially, the original HTC charger which I did not have at that moment).

wow you must have been really unlucky with your phone, havent seen this issue anywhere.

GPS performance is different on every phone unfortunately, and somethings manufacturers just dont seem to spend much time on it, but personally I have no issue, so hopefully your next one will have all its issues fixed. If you really want to you could try some of those so called "gps fix" apps on the market, some do actually work
[HTC One S] gpw11:
Quick question: Are you using the phone on the carrier you purchased it from? Carriers often change the settings of the phone so that the aGPS requests info from their server instead of open location servers. This is great, but if you're on another network, you're firewalled out from their servers and you'll get a far slower lock.

It's entirely fixable, but you need root.

[HTC One S] gollings:
I'm having the same problem with a sim-free handset from Amazon. I use it to track my bike rides with Mapmyride. It will lock on to the GPS signal OK, but will invariably lose its lock at multiple points on the ride. I find I keep stopping to check that the phone is still working. Did a 8 mile ride today and it only tracked 5.5 miles and that's only because I kept checking the phone. Downloaded GPS status from the play store, which doesn't seem to have made any difference. It looks like I'll have to send the phone back. I'm really disappointed, especially considering my old Desire used to work really well for this. Perhaps I'll get a refund from Amazon and soldier on with the old Desire...
[HTC One S] Scoop940:
We are on phone number four, it takes longer than my sensation yo get a lock but so far had tracked runs and rides ok.

Hi Guys! I have a Galaxy S1 (I-9000). I've used a custom ICS rom until yesterday, but it was slow, and drained my battery very quick. So I XXJW4 (as far as I know this is the latest official release with value pack), but there are wierd issues (very quick battery draining, wifi disconnecting, doesn't remember my mobile network settings, sluggish browser, etc).

I did the usual stuff like cleaning cache/dalvik/factory reset. Usually I like hacking around with theese things, but now I just want to use my phone, so I would like to restore it to a "very" official state. I'm not sure about the technical details, but afaik some of the update packages are not completely reinstall everything. So what is the correct way to clean my phone so it would look like a brand new one like it has never been modded?

I think I need to repartition. Even if I don't want to change the file systems I would prefer to have a fresh start so no previous data could remain. After that I would need a firmware that contains everything (kernel, bootloader (?), modem, dbdata, factory file system, etc etc) I've already found a lot of roms out there, but I'm not certain witch one will do the job. After I installed the value pack update I realized that dbdata was not part of that package, and I had to find one after googling for a while. So I'd really appreciate some pointers :)

So that's my story, to sum up the question is how to restore a galaxy s to an older version my making sure everything is completely wiped, overwriten, reinstalled, etc.

Thanks in advance.

So I rooted my D2G with the guide found here and everything went smoothly.

My phone doesn't have a service provider attached to it, which means no downloads ota and for some reason the new rooting broke the wifi.

This guy posted a fix for the wifi, but in order for it to work I have to install the fix with CWM. Since CWM is not installed on my phone, and I have no wifi, I cannot implement his fix.

I tried to install CWM manually, but the "Hold volume+ and the power button to install..." step in the process does nothing.

Just to be clear, my phone has never had a service provider and I just used GrooveIP to make wifi calls. It hasn't been rooted since the official .629, I just now rooted it with total success except for the wifi being broken.

Is there a way to fix the wifi I am unaware of?

Is the method I am using to initiate the CWM install on a droid 2 global incorrect?
