[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Hi,

I have 3 problems related to applications for which I can't find solution.

1st is that after removing/uninstalling applications and then restarting phone at some point for whatever reason there are visible remnants of them. (screenshot attached)

I am able to uninstall them again, but after another restart they are back. So how to get rid of them for good?

2nd problem is that certain applications seems to uninstall/delete themselves upon phone reboot. It seems its related to SD card where they put themselves during install. I have tried to move majority of apps back to phone, but seems only some of them are affected by this. There are apps which are installed/moved to SD and they work fine even after restart, so don't know. Maybe some of them are not working after moving to SD? Although for some its strange because they install itself to SD without me moving them.

3rd problem appeared today. Yesterday I have updated to ICS via Kies and installed 5 updates from Market. Today after restart the same apps were back to previous versions and Market offered me the same updates for the same apps. Whats the problem with this?

Thx for your help
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Reads as possible corruption of SD card .

Check Lost File folders .

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
And how do I do it? What folders? LOST.DIR?

Or to put to computer and run chkdsk to check lost files?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rocky23:
wen u some times move apps to sd an wen a aoto update takes place so wen rebooted then either appear as shown in screen shot,cause get deleted an flashing roms then restoring from titanium also gives some app prblm....the best way is format ur ext card on pc .....and if u want to clean all crap which u don want(lost.dir)is a folder were chunks r stored...but coming to point if u want to clean all mess go in recovery an formatt sd card,format system,emmc all ,,an reboot an ur stuck on sammy logo means u hav nothing on phone ,so go in download mode an flash stock via odin.....imp backup ur efs b4 any thing
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Thanks for your input, but I am not able to grasp much from your post.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I don't think many people can grasp anything this guy says. His "english" is pretty difficult to read. I'll try to translate for you.

I THINK what he's suggesting is that when you have apps installed to your sd card, then an update occurs, then if there are differences in how partitioning works between your old OS version and your new OS version, you may lose some apps.

Then there's a bunch of unintelligible gibberish... Seems to be suggesting that restoring apps using Titanium backup can cause issues, and suggests formatting the external SD card on your PC instead of in your phone.

He seems to suggest cleaning items from the LOST.DIR folder that you may not want.

Then he seems to say if all else fails, reboot to recovery, format everything.

And if you're stuck after a reboot after you do all that, then flash a stock firmware via odin.

Back up your /efs folder before you do anything. (which I agree with wholeheartedly)

I think I translated that correctly.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Thanks for your translation mate although I am not sure if he said anything what can help me except deleting and formatting all which is really something what I would like to avoid for now.

LOST.DIR is empty on both internal and external SD card.

Also the problem with remnants was happening before I upgraded to ICS, do I don't think its related to partitioning at all.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Last time I had this issue, it was on my Moto Milestone where I had app2sd running, and my SD card was becoming corrupted. I had to format my SD card and re-install the affected apps.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Hmm, I am not using any external app like app2sd, just the option which is offering Android itself. You were formatting internal or external one?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I was describing my condition on one of my old phones. (An old Motorola Milestone, which did not have an internal SD) Not an I9100.

If you are using the default app2sd in Android, then you'll want to format internal. But back up all your files (music, pictures, whatever else) before you do, obviously.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
I see. Yeah I was planning to do backup of course, but if I copy back all after format won't be back also the problem?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JJEgan:
Lost dir from me was to check for corruption as thats where corrupt sd card files go.

Copy backup to PC just in case .

jje
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sun90:
hey pal before trying 2 delete any app please ensure that u have cleard the data and cache of the same since they do pose a problem later also manually delete all those app folders on ur sdcard after deleting the apps:)
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
It shouldn't matter...

But my advice is to go through your installed apps and make a list of all apps that are marked as installed to your SD. Then uninstall all of the ones that are. Then back up your internal SD, and do your format of internal SD.

DO NOT copy back the .android_secure folder after you format. This is the folder that Android uses for it's built-in app2sd. (so it will get created again automatically later)

That means you'll have to re-install all of the apps you made a list of above, but it SHOULD help alleviate your problem.

---------- Post added at 11:00 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:58 AM ----------

The condition he describes is that the app is no longer being registered as installed. So I don't think he'll be able to do this.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Thanks mate, I am now making backup of internal SD card before formatting although there is no .android_secure folder. There is one on external SD card, but its empty. Anyway will try the format after all the data are copied.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
So backup done, formatted card, copied all back, restarted phone and the remnants are still there :(
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Hmm.. you may not have a choice but to do a factory reset/full wipe to get rid of 'em. Sorry dude.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Thats not what I wanted to hear. Should I go for factory reset available directly from Android or should I boot to recovery and go with factory reset/wipe data or wipe cache?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
Either one should be fine.

FYI, you can back up most stuff you have and restore using various methods, so you can get back to your current state... it will just take a bit of effort.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
And which would you recommend? I have Titanium Backup Pro to use or is there easier way?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
That's what I use. If you have the Pro version, then you have access to batch backup/restore. Should shave quite a bit of time off.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Yeah, PRO version makes it easier. So which option should I use for the reset? Android or recovery one? Also should I do cache wipe in recovery?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ctomgee:
I already said either should be fine, but wiping cache and dalvik cache are also a good idea, so you may as well do it from recovery since they'll all be available then.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Stileth:
Ok, wiped all and restored backup via TB. For now seems all is fine and no remnants. Reboot seems not to bring them back neither. So far good, will see in a few days.

Thanks to all who contributed here.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] nbdysreal:
This is NOT a "How do i return to stock thread?" as i plenty know how to do that. Its more of a two part question.

1.) Changed the lock screen banner on AOKP i believe it was, and then did the usual wipe before flashing (data/cache/dalvik/format system) and flashed several new roms. Wiped in between each. Each kept this custom text. Next thought was it could have been stored in the radio, so i flashed a lower radio, rebooted, flashed newer radio to no avail. Still said custom text on lock screen, no matter what rom. Flashed back to a rom with the option to edit it, changed it to Verizon Wireless, back to stockish look then. Guess the question is, does anyone know where exactly this text is stored?

2.) Every-so-often i take my phones back completely stock and wipe all memory. Just gives me a feeling of cleanliness. Fastboot flashed all my stock 4.0.2 images (radios, bootloader, recoveries) and did the update step, with reboots where needed. Took it all the way stock except for relocking. Once i was on 4.0.2, installed CWM touch and got IMMK76K rooted stock and newest radios. Noticed my notification blinking light was still blue from the last rom i flashed. I know i can easily change the color using an app/rom, but the question being is why did it carry over the led indicator color from a past rom when i took it all the way back stock. Where is this stored that it magically wasn't over-written by fastboot flashing all the stock images?

Long post, sorry.
[HTC Desire S] MrFEr:
Dear All,

I have the following issue: if I'm on GSM / WCDMA auto Network Mode, my phone sometimes reboots itself after call.

It was an issue on stock ROM and it is on CoreDroid as well.

I've flashed the newest radio, but it didn't do the trick.

Any suggestions?

thanks!

Here's your reminder

http://androidandme.com/2012/04/carriers/the-big-4-shootout-who-has-the-fastest-network-speeds/
[Vibrant General] [bman123]:
Besides them having the fastest 3g I picked t mo because its the best cheap pre paid plan at only $30 a month on the monthly 4g plan. Use Google voice and groove IP and I get unlimited minutes. The service sucks ass inside my job but outside its always fast.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
thats a nice report, didn't even know that.
[Vibrant General] theking_13:
I chose them for being the best GSM carrier, glad to know there's other perks too. :p
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
They have the best non contract prepaid plans. I have been with them many years. Its true that the service is hit or miss, outstanding speeds in good area or poor in bad area but that's where wifi comes in. Love GSM services, love tmo!
[Vibrant General] suchavibrantthang:
chose tmo awhile back for their wifi calling/uma for my the blackberry.

(and cuz my friend worked for tmo)
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
Yea no offense but ally Mexican friends which is 80% have T-Mobile and my white friends have iPhone with ATT

Sooooo yea T-Mobile is the cheapest of the 4
[Vibrant General] samsgun357:
Haha when you qualify no offense, its probably offensive....but true.
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
same stuff over here in Frisco TX except its with MetroPCS.

We like to call them MetroPieceof****.
[Vibrant General] VeryCoolAlan:
Lmfao!!
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
SOMEONE QUICK! Thank me twice! Then i'll have 800 thanks!
[Vibrant General] Candiria:
In Seattle, the fastest carrier by far is Verizon.

[Vibrant General] Decepticaons:
I was thinking about switching to Verizon, but the results you gave are for one city, in one corner of the country, I need more proof! And truthfully they need to test again when tmobiles LTE network goes active. I also thought it odd for the other 3 carriers they used HTC phones, and for TMobile they used the galaxy S. Why not use the sensation to make is fair, or use galaxy S II for all 4 carriers? My guess.....someone knows TMobile is faster and wanted to put them in a crutch...just sayin lol. I'm currently doing a comparison of the big 4 in grand rapids cause I seem to never get 4G and it's making me mad!
[Vibrant General] kaiser_bun:
While the ping times leave a little to be desired where I'm at (Florida) the download speeds are awesome in my area, but the speeds are just a perk, heh. I remember why I picked them every time I look at my bill. At $60 a month (w/taxes and fees) for my unlimited data*, texts, and minutes I'm doing ok compared to some of my friend's $100+ AT&T bills.

*you keep using that word... i dunna think it means what-ah you think it means
[Vibrant General] CrisisDog:
Me likes!

Besides the lack of iPhone usability, I have no issues with them. I've gone through some painful bleeding edge technology with the G1, the Vibrant and its crappy GPS issue, and now I'm testing out a Nokia Lumia 710 which has actually impressed me, minus the availability of WP7 apps. I like the fact that they're cheap as hell compared to AT&T or Verizon.
[Vibrant General] TimelesslyPrecise:
Lol, i do the exact same :)
[Vibrant General] TimelesslyPrecise:
Ooh yeah, what part of Florida?

So far, t mobile network has been the best for me. I will say, Verizon has great quality audio service... But, who cares about that? Lol, data is where it's at.

I almost pull 6 megs down while cruising on interstate 75..

At $30/mo. I'll take two plans please :) :p
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yaniv156:
I'm currently running SHOStock ICS ROM and I want to change it, but every time I try to flash the CM9 ROM in recovery mode, I get an error-

Installation aborted (Status 7). The first time it happened was after I installed the shostock rom (I had the cm9 before and had no problems installing it).

I tried to update CWM through ROM Manager, but it didn't solve the problem.

What can I do to fix it? I searched the forum but didn't find a solution..
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jack man:
Im not sure exactly how to fix that but I've always read that we should avoid Rom Manager on the i777. You might want to sheck the threads about Rom manager errors. I've flashed every rom out there and never used rom manager and never had any problems.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yaniv156:
I used rom manager only to update CWM. I haven't installed any rom with rom manager.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MotoMudder77:
last time i found that error with CM9 was because of the build.prop issue. Our phones run i9100 based ROM's alot, there's a line in the updaterscript that looks for phone model, must remove that **** outta there.

And i must say that CM9 sucks if they still have not addressed this well known issue.

Just flash AOKP.

O and, un install ROM manager, its for idiots.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yaniv156:
Does this ROM fully support hebrew? (including menus)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
What ROM?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yaniv156:
the AOKP
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattdm:
Good question. I would say go ask in the AOKP thread, but you don't have enough posts to do that yet...I'll go ask for you. You can just go read the replies to my post.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] yaniv156:
Problem solved. I flashed AOKP and it worked (no error) ,but after that I flashed CM9 back (more comfortable for me), works perfect. Thanks for the help.
[HTC One X] MaTiCeK-:
I've only had the HOX for a couple of days. Finally set it up, like I need it to be and then I noticed that my Clock app is force closing, so I can't reliable use it to wake me up in the morning. This is quite a nuissance for me, as even other alarm apps seem to not work properly on my HOX.

I'm on the latest official FW, no bootloader unlock, no root, just plain 1.29.401.7.

Is anybody else experiencing this issues?
[HTC One X] gonzo99:
Edit: Managed to fix it, at least for me.

All I did was in the settings remove the automatic timezone detection. The clock then opened first time.

However, Taipei is showing in the list, even though I've deleted it from my list of Cities - so I'm guessing there's some location caching issue somewhere.

Anyway, the alarm screen etc. all seems to work for me, so try that.

===========

Can't assist yet I'm afraid, but you aren't alone.

Just received my 3rd HOX (yellow spots, faulty GPS) today and after checking everything and thinking I have a perfect example - clock FCs on startup, every time, regardless of other apps running, straight after a fresh boot, etc.

Oh well, I guess it was too good to be true ;)

Not a biggie for me, because I use Alarm Clock Plus, which worked fine on the previous two HOxs (HOXes?) so hopefully it won't bother me. I can't be bothered to reset to factory settings just to see if the clock works.

I'm on 1.28, preinstalled by T-Mobile, no root or unlocked bootloader yet.

Haven't had time to investigate it much further, but the error log says it's a

'Java.Lang.Nullpointerexception' in WorldClock.java that's the culprit,specifically to do with the updateWeatherData Source Method, so may be something to do with getting the current location?

Forum search only threw up this post, so perhaps its just you and me!

If I find a fix I'll add it here. If anyone else has already found one, please let me know!

[HTC One X] wilku:
Hi

Same here, i noticed that my clock app is force closing from time to time. Also noticed that i untick the automatic time update then it starts working again. I think it has something to do with location as for some reason it is not able to find my location (the city) and when i select Brussels for the list it shows it in the map somewhere in Africa :)

I did remove the weather app form the ROM so maybe it has something to to with that.
[HTC One X] mberasategi:
I had this same issue and contacted HTC support through their website. They directed me to do a factory reset (!), which is definitely a suboptimal solution, but worked. No FC on the clock since then.

BUT I will gladly try it as well :)

Will this rom also have that weird bug/feature that text is white on white background?

just one thing... do you think wiping cache and dalvik is enough coming from proxuser's port of miui ?
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
no. looking at the changes made full wipe is best, not about who ported it thats irrelevant the change log is quite large for 2.5.4 ---> 2.5.11 and blindndumb has added batt tweaks etc your more than likely going to run into problem/bugs

Do a full wipe and be patient

You just need to calm down after the phone boots, there are a lot of process that runs after a reboot ,especially when its first time

There isnt ROM control because its not aokp :p

one suggestion, can you please have supercharger v6 preinstalled in your future MIUI releases.

AND also when will this rom be released on kernel 3? RATHER THAN ON CM9 KERNEL

That will be just awesome..
[HTC Desire S] blindndumb:
I will add brainmasters tweaks in the new version .. you can see the details in paranoid thread, second last page..

+ Kernel ... Sorry I cant do anything right now.. I am getting my hands in kernel development. and will try to acquire as much as I can while being in my summer training :cool:

For now if you wanna use kernel 3 , wait for nexx to release
