[Micromax A116] Thanigai Madhavan:
Hi Guys,

I am new to XDA forums and android, so kindly apologise me for starting a new thread,

recently i flashed my a116 to sam HD v3.2, It works great but one thing which bugs me is the amount of RAM usage, after flashing the ROM i am using(installed) only half the apps compared while using my Stock ROM but the ram usage is always i the range of 700 - 800 MB. In my stock ROM i have never crossed 650 MB.

Is this a problem or anything i am missing????

can anyone suggest me what other ROM best suits a116.
[Micromax A116] freakydev8:
Download Smart Ram Booster and set it to aggressive. press boost multiple times amd clean cache. Then rebpot
[Micromax A116] Salman_nasu:
higher ram consumption compared to stock because of the touchwiz and lot of bloatwares in samsung rom.u cant do anything about that!! :)
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Opaquer:
Hi everyone! So, I've been having a bit of an issue with my Galaxy S3 lately (and by lately, I mean it's been bothering me for the past few months, but until today I've been able to use my phone :()

My phone is giving me an out of space message, and no matter what I do, I can't seem to fix it. When it first started coming up, it was a bit annoying, but today, my phone seems to have run out of so much space, it can't receive messages, take screenshots (even though it should be stored onto my SD card), or even use the Facebook app without it erroring.

I can't upload a screenshot to here (since my phone won't even let me take the screenshot :(), but when I go to the storage settings, my phone says I don't have enough internal memory. It says I have 11.25GB total, and I'm using 1.85GB for applications, 5.27MB for pictures and videos, 34.30MB for audio, 14.14MB for downloads and 236MB for misc files. Somehow that means my 11.25GB space is all used up, so I might have to go back to school for maths, because something doesn't add up :(. It also says I have 4.30GB free space on my SD card, but that's not causing the problem (I hope)

I've searched for other problems like this, and all of them are for rooted phones, which doesn't help me because my S3 isn't rooted. Also, all of the problems I saw were when people tried installing an app and got the "out of space" error on Google Play store, and they had to delete the app's .odex file, which unfortunately doesn't help me

I appreciate any help anyone has :D! Really hoping to be able to use my phone again :)

Dear all,

Is it possible to sync (or store) the Pocket outlook data on storage card? I can't find any setting about this; however is it possible for me to make it via any tweak (like registry modification)?

Let me explain why I need to do this. I understand that when device failed, I can always sync PIM to new PDA with outlook on notebook or desktop computers. However my secnario is that if I can store Pocket outlook (PIM) data on the storage card, I will not need my notebook or desktop. I can just put the storage card into a new PDA, and I can have all the info. I may leave notebook in home, but will carry PDA all the time. This is what I thought for this.

Thanks for reading this post and your kindly assist.

B. Rgds.,

Michael
[General Topics] Rudegar:
if it's the same type of device you can just use xbackup or spirite backup to backup and restore your data from the sd card

the thing about putting active programs and data on sd cards is they have a limited nr of writes they can do before they die

and most programs cant cope with their storage being removed run time

which you can do when it's on a sd card

sd cards are disabled when the device is off to save power

if you get a mail or sms when the device is off the sd is off too
[General Topics] Michael Lin:
Dear Rudegar,

Thanks for the reply. It looks like there is no way to store PIM in the storage card. I will try to test another solution, eg. to sync with Exchange server directly. The only issue to sync with Exchange is that it is not so easy to find wireless access point.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalinian:
Dear XDAsters,

Having successfully solved a boot loop issue in mid-December on my own, by following wise advice from XDA Recognized Contributor dr.ketan [1], I recently felt emboldened to try exploring custom ROMs for my SGN GT-N7000 – only to prove the wisdom of another clever fellow:

Long story short, things went from bad to worse. Now my SGN is completely unresponsive – after battery removal-&-reinsertion, the screen remains black and blank in all these circumstances:

• being plugged in to the mains charger

• being switched on with the power button

• launch recovery at startup – volume up + home + power

• launch download mode at startup – volume down + home + power

I know it’s all my own silly fault, but if there are any noble souls here at XDA who could help me out of this PIT in to which I have dug myself (bad pun intended), I would be eternally grateful.

Thanks in anticipation,

Dalinian

Try a jig. It may help put the phone to DL mode.

Thanks For The Dance Tip!

Thanks for your reply, forest1971 :good:

My first thought, born of a life-long love of surrealism, was to seek out some trad Irish jig tunes, such as...

• Traditional Irish Jig Medley: Geese In The Bog / The Wind That Shakes The Barley

– music, 3:29 » http://youtu.be/VL2XC-RyL7Y

...then put my SGN on the floor, and carefully dance a wee jig or two over it. :p

But thankfully the rational side of my psyche piped up, and I consequently discovered this most useful thread:

• [REF] USB Jig FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) [4/4/2012] ICS bootloader added

Good luck! In the waiting time may also check out another option name jtag riffbox. More advanced and costly.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dalinian:
While waiting for a Chinese jig...

Thanks again, forest1971. :good:

In independent research, I’ve both seen videos of how the jtag riffbox works in outline, and found mail-in repair service companies in the UK who offer unbricking services that include using that kit. If it comes to it, I think I’d prefer to pay experts to use that method, rather than to buy my own jtag riffbox.

My educated guess is that the delivery time on the USB jig (3-18 days) indicates a mailing from China. Meanwhile, I’m only waiting on Samsung’s tablet product announcements at CES next week before (most likely) ordering a SGN 10.1 2014 LTE and a Three UK network microSIM – so I may have a 10.1 inch “phone” before my original SGN 5.3 inch is resurrected, which suggests to me a high tech update to one of Dom Joly’s best hidden camera show gags:

[HTC One X] Yadash:
My screen gets stuck during animations and randomly zooms in and glitches when it's working, but it's blank most of the time unless I apply pressure around the phone. Am I right to believe I have the "black screen of death?". Will HTC fix this out of warranty as it's a known hardware fault or will I be paying out of my own pocket as my bootloader is unlocked and the phone is loaded with a custom rom?

Thanks for the help :)
[HTC One X] Mr Hofs:
We can't answer that. If you are lucky then they replace it. But you say yourself that its already out of warranty and that you unlocked the bootloader. So it's very unlikely that they will pay for the costs.
[HTC One X] Yadash:
Thanks Mr Hoffs, any idea of cost for fixing the device? I have the wifi fault too so I'm thinking it might just be easier to buy a new phone altogether

Hmm not sure. I know that here in the Netherlands a new screen via official dealer including replacement costs between 150 and 180 euroos. Don't know about a mainboard.....

Reboot recovery

Wipe dalvik and cache

Copy a apk working or stock apk to your system or

To the flashable zip (use xplore from google play)

Reflash wipe dalvik and cache

And if the problem still is there then use a different rom and if still persists then you will have to do a data wipe

Partition Layout

I believe I've found the partition layout based on the /etc/recovery_mmc.fstab extracted from mmcblk0p13, but am not sure. The excerpt of my /etc/recovery_mmc.fstab file from mmcblk0p13 shows some partition names correlated to device names. Could someone verify this is a legitimate way to determine the partition layout? I've also attached the whole recovery_mmc.fstab file.

Unpacking Recovery Image

First, I made a selective backup using a google store app called Online Nandroid Backup https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.h3r3t1c.onnandbup&hl=en to make a backup on the "recovery" partition. Even though the app does not specify which block it copies, I believe the app makes a backup of /dev/block/mmcblk0p13 because it uses /system/partlayout4nandroid to determine the partition layout. If you look at the "cat /system/partlayout4nandroid" output below, you'll see that mmcblk0p13 corresponds to recovery.

Then I transferred the recovery.img from the sdcard to my computer.

From there, I followed the directions in Step 1 and Step 2 of http://www.imajeenyus.com/computer/20130301_android_tablet/android/unpack_repack_recovery_image.html to unpack and extract recovery.img.

Probably correct.

My father(the owner of the phone) has once again left on a trip, so I will have to wait until Monday/Tuesday, when I receive my phone, to confirm these results.

My only issue with this is is why nandroid shows a different partition layout then what is shown in other files.

If partition 13 is recovery, there is no coincidence that you would find that fstab file in the extracted recovery.

Do you mind dumping all the extracted files from the recovery and uploading them to 4shared, mediafire, or any other cloud service as a compressed file(zip, tar)? I think the file is not coincidental, and that we have indeed found the partition layout(or at least the important partitions for our purposes).

Also, try dumping the boot partition that is currently identified (block 12) without using online nandroid backup(I think via dd should still work) and see if you can find similar files to that explained in the guide(.png, ramdisk directory, etc). If these files match up to what would be typically found in a boot.img or recovery.img, then the layout is most likely correct.

If these files match up to typical boot.img or recovery.img files, we can test the layout by changing something simple like a background before working on serious stuff.

Also, thanks for helping! Once we conclusively identify that this partition layout is correct, we can start to port clockworkmod.
