[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobizzle:
Hello guys!

First of all I would like to thank everyone who participates at XDA Developers. Incredible Job!

Since a few weeks I'm having problems with my HTC Desire using several ROMs.

I've been using Mildwild 3.2 since a few months and it went like a charm, so there was actually no need for me to change it. But then Mildwild 4.0 was released and for some reason I thought it might be a good idea to update my Desire to the latest Version.

I took my AData 16GB Class 10 SD Card and used GParted to partition the Card like it was supposed to be. 1GB Ext3. But when I installed Mildwild 4.0 I always had the same problem that when installing Apps the phone just "rebooted".. I'm using quotation marks, as it does not completely reboot, but instead only shows the "Mildwild" Logo (not the green HTC text on white background). The app is not installed. When i completely reboot the phone it is most likely to happen, that i can install the app without any problem.

As I did not find any solution to this and Mildwild started working on an ICS ROM i decided to switch to a different ROM that i already experienced a few months ago (at leat its predecessor) - Redux2 ZM 4.4. As I always thought that the problem is caused by my SD Card i decided to buy 4EXT Recovery from market and clean up everything before installing it. I formated everything /boot, /sdcard/, etc. - everything! And repartitioned the SD Card with 1GB Ext3 and 15GB Fat32. After installing Thalamus r4 kernel and redux2 everything has been restored from google servers like a charm, but for some reason some apps could not be downloaded. When I tried to install them manually after the automatic download finished.. guess what happened? The phone rebooted with the "redux" animation..

I actually dont have any idea anymore, what the reason could actually be. Maybe you can help me with my problem, as i just want to use a stable ROM on my beloved desire.

Thx in advance and sorry if i didnt find a thread that already discusses this problem!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qsq631886:
i suggest you unstall some apps,because i've gone through this problem.It happens when there was a little space left.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobizzle:
Well, it says 130 MB left on internal storage :(
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blagga:
Same problem - no solution yet

Hi - I have also been having the same problem for the last 3 or so days. However, I am on an HTC Desire using LeeDroid ROM - so it would seem that this problem is not dependent on the ROM. Would be very grateful for a solution. This is starting to drive me nuts.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobizzle:
Im still struggelin with the problem. I thought it might be caused be a corrupted partition table? The idea with low space might also be the problem. Actually there are like 110 MB free whenever i look it up, but there might be peaks where it is lot less.. seen 40mb space left already. But why is this possible anyway? Thought this is the reason i have a sdext partition..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blagga:
Still struggling..

Me too. Just out of interest, are you running wavesecure? Long shot, but I was wondering if this is somehow connected. Nasty piece of software!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobizzle:
What is wavesecure?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nobizzle:
ok, i just wiped everything, formatted everything, repartitioned everything (1 gb ext4), flashed stock hboot, wiped everything again, flashed cm7r2 hboot, wiped everything again, flashed mildwild 4.0, flashed kernel r4.. booted once, set SD-EXT to active, rebooted, set sd-ext to default installation location, rebooted again.. now apps are downloading from the google servers and everything seems to work like a charm.. no "reboots" which i had the last few weeks.. ill keep u up to date
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domido:
Sry for bringing this thread up again, but looks like I'm having the same problem as mentioned in the first post. Almost everytime I try to update or download new application, phone does the same as thread author described.

I'm on stock HBOOT if it means anything, Mildwild 4.8 based on Oxygen. Do I have to update HBOOT to fix this or is there another solution ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abaaaabbbb63:
Changing hboot doesn't help.

Just do what the OP did. Wipe everything, repartition your sd-card, and then see what happens.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Domido:
I'll give it a try, I see Nobizzle did flash cm7r2 hboot so that is the reason I asked that. Nevermind, I'll stick with stock and report result after I finish.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigwalabig:
Hi, My note is stuck at boot screen after the official OTA update. I tried googling but most seems to pertain to Rooted/flashed phones.

Mine is a new note which has not been rooted at all in the past. I downloaded to OTA update and it has been stuck at the bootscreen for the past few hours.

Any help appreciated!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Belfia:
1. Try pulling out the battery for a few minutes.

2. Boot into recovery mode and wipe cache and dalvik cache.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigwalabig:
should i also wipe the data/factory reset in recovery mode?

Unable to enter recovery mode

Hey I got similar problem, my phone gets stuck at Samsung logo screen. I am unable to enter recovery mode. When it shows android update screen after pressing recovery mode combination, my phone restarts.

Is there anyway I can get back normal mode without losing data on phone
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Braxos:
Keep them pressed for 3 seconds more then you end up to recovery. They need to be pressed while booting the device from reboot or off state, then you will end up in recovery or download mode.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vikramhere:
Yesterday, I received an OTA on my galaxy note and now it is also stuck in boot screen with the breathing samsung logo.

I tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots.

Can someone help me to boot my phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JFoo:
Got mine backup and running after OTA update gave me Samsung logo freeze issue

So after the 7MB OTA stability patch mine too was stuck on samsung logo.

Kies wouldn't recover it and putting into download mode or recovery mode didn't help. I too tried to go into recovery mode using the 3 button combo, but it wouldnt enter into recovery mode. I get the green android logo with wire mesh and the phone reboots but i didn't at the time try for 3 more seconds.

I then used ODIN and applied a downloaded Aussie Gingerbread ROM as i couldn't find Aussie ICS ROM. With my plan to do a Kies/wifi update to ICS. This caused acore and other processes to crash every few seconds. I then did a factory reset which got it stable and then tried to update to ICS but the phone said there were no updates available. Then I applied the international ICS using ODIN so i'm back were i was two days ago before the stupid 7MB patch.

Unfortunately, I don't think i can get anymore OTA updates but after the 7MB one i don't think i want to.

Long story short i think you should be able to go into recovery mode do a factory reset and it should be OK.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiunmaru:
U can download stock ics and flash it through pc odin. Cheers.

Press 3 combo button to enter download mode and plug ur cable data once u have open pc odin with downloaded rom on pda :beer:

ODIN voids warranty?

I have the same issue after receiving 7MB OTA update. I am unable to go into recovery mode(same green robot and wire mesh etc...), so i am going to use ODIN method... but will flashing stock ROM using ODIN void my warranty?? I am not rooted.

Thanks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rulinglionadi:
To flash yoi have to root...which voids warranty

But not to worry

Check the videos in my sig...it will explain how to succesfully unroot and get back to normal :good:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinit.the.one:
Thanks.... but this is my aunt's phone, so rooting is not an option. I use HTC Hero... and we have RUU which we run on the PC and everything is restored to stock.... it removes root if you have it and also runs without root. Is there anything similar for samsung devices?

Also, now I am considering going for warranty repair... didnt want to do that at first as i have a really bad experience with HTC service centers... now lets see what samsung does..!!

Same problem here :( please find a fix!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpyderTracks:
You don't need root to flash stock with PC Odin, and flashing any stock does not affect warranty. To use Odin you need phone in download mode (vol down, home and power until reboot into download)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kamikazy:
SOLVED!

Just flash it using the same os version you already have installed in my case I had the same problem with this little ota update and I've just flash it with the same ics version that was installed and my phone was back with all my stuff and rooted... once you finish doing the re flash you'll get an on screen message saying "Fail to update try using samsung kies on your computer" or something like that...
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinit.the.one:
Thanks... but I went for warranty repair .. and I got it back in 2 hours..... unfortunately I lost all my data .. even on external partition. Now it is on ICS and still I have a notification for available update ... which I wont do.

Anyone has had success with that update?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] petrochemicals:
SGS III coming to all US carriers in June.

http://www.engadget.com/2012/06/04/...rier-launch-att-verizon-sprint-t-mobile-uscc/

I had a feeling AT&T was purposefully waiting for the release of the SGS III to finally release ICS for the SGS II, Skyrocket and Note and this just only confirms my suspicions.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] nrm5110:
Dude fix the title
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] mznatnat:
I am sorry but I believe you are wrong. I have the HTC Amaze and we all thought that too until a team member from Tmobile told us what the actual hold up was (on And-Dev.us) ICS upgrades rarely have anything to do with new phones. The updates have everything to do with testing, fixing, re-testing, re-applying, testing again, fixing again. AT&T has nothing to do with phone upgrades. AT&T and Samsung have to work together to push these updates.

AT&T tests the update, they find problems and bugs, they send the results back to Samsung to fix them. Samsung developers start working on the issues. They send their fixed product to AT&T to give back to testers. Testers find more bugs, send it back to Samsung. And the loop repeats itself. Until all problems are fixed. We had to wait a long time for ours because we have that stupid Sense rom on our phones, and Sense is a hassle and a half!

Marketing and ICS development have nothing to do with each other. ICS is coming don't sweat it!
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] :
Thought that we should have a thread with the memory usage of launchers, so that people can pick the most lightweight one.

To get the results i installed the launcher, waited untill it had completely finished loading and then got the memory usage using Memory Usage

*SGSII themed version

Note that these are done with the stock settings of the launcher,

memory usage may change with newer versions of the launchers.

If there are any launcher you think should be added just post a link below :)

Hit thanks if this helped you pick your launcher :thumbup:

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] downloadonlyaccount:
Nice, but i dont think this list doesn't say anything about performance, which is more important than the amount of consumed RAM. Launcher Pro for example is the smoothest one i've ever seen, even though it consumes a lot of memory.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] :
Yeah but the amount of memory is important on devices with little ram like ours.

It will make sure other apps/games run faster and the android system will be less likely to kill it.

The launcher will also run faster when other apps are running in the background, a must if you switch between apps alot.

Sent from my GT-S5830 using my hands :)
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] :
These launchers are working for gingerbread as that's what I have, some should work with cm9 also.

The moment you start the launcher it takes a lot more ram. Launcherpro takes like 15 to 18mb for me after a while of use.

Thanks for the list! I've been using Launcher Pro for two years now but due to the missing updates I thought I try something new - having a Motorola Milestone, memory usage is a big issue for me, so your list was a great help in choosing a different launcher.

I used memory manager to see how much memory an app uses and played around for a week now trying Launcher Pro, Nemus Launcher and Zeam Launcher but *none* of them used less than 30MB, in fact they all used around 32-34MB (+/- 1 or 2MB from time to time).

I really have a *load* of widgets on my screens, will that effect the memory the launcher uses? [EDIT: it obviously does, see below] Still I'm wondering about the reasons of the big difference from my tests and the list (Zeam: 23MB, Nemus: 26MB, Launcher Pro: 34MB). Especially as Zeam and Nemus seem to grow larger in memory usage with more widgets being used while Launcher Pro's memory usage did not really change and all launchers end up using the same amount of memory.

What also bugs me: Launcher Pro and Zeam do not show in the Android process list (config -> apps -> runnning apps) but Nemus does - does this make any difference?

Kind regards

PS: I just tried "Memory Usage" just to double check:

Launcher Pro: 31MB

Nemus Launcher: 34MB

Zeam Launcher: 31MB

What am I doing wrong?

EDIT: installed Lightning Launcher (again) to check its memory usage and "Memory Usage" tells me: 24MB, I'll try to configure it with all my widgets and see if that changes anything.

EDIT2: added two widgets (Beautiful widgets: weather/clock, Agenda Widget Plus) and usage is already up to 30MB, this is not really going anywhere :(
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Themes and Apps] Ahmed hamouda:

I'll straight up tell you that's all a lie. ADW Launcher EX NEVER goes past 11MB. Unless you're using like 8 home screens and all of them loaded with widgets and apps then that's a different case. But all of those launcher consumption numbers are way too high. Not even Go Launcher which is one of the most ram hoggers consumes that much. That list is WAY off.
