I'm in the process of switching to t-mo from att. On a temp number now.

I did not have full internet access (IM worked, Web didnt) with the new sim at first, had to get home and fix the APN.

Now I cant use any google app...it complains that the password is invalid!

When I go to settings->accounts and sync->gmail account, it says "Sync is currently experiencing problems. It will be back shortly." This has been going on for about an hour now. Web works (66KB/sec in HSPDA mode, Wifi works too, sync fails on both)

Anyone else experiencing this now?

On the web I found that wiping/resetting to defaults may help.... should I wait a bit :confused:

heard that switching from tMo to ATT N1 causes some sync issues... not sure tho... I'm still on the tMo N1 with no plans to shift
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] britoso:
I waited. This morning I saw a notification to verify my google password, after that sync works fine again.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:
I am looking at a nexus one on ebay, but the seller didn't state if it was the att or tmobile version. I sent him a message asking him which version and told him about tmobile version not being able to use att's 3g. He replied, "The ATT since it is compatible on both."

I guess I need to be more specific. Is there anything on the box that I could ask him that would identify which version it is? (it's brand new, still in box)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I would look for a different seller... if they have the phone brand new and still in the box, they should know whether it is ATT or T-Mo compatible. If they do not, that is a major red flag, to say the least.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] INeedYourHelp:
I would gladly buy from Google, but I can only use paypal :(

By the way, which version do you think a guy from Pakistan would have?

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280487278699&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Why would a guy from Pakistan be selling new Nexus One for less than Google? Especially when Google doesn't even sell directly to Pakistan?

Also, look at his rating... he has like 11 transactions.

Edit: I actually just reported the seller, since this is such an obvious scam. As well, looking at the pending sales, several have canceled the purchase because the seller never responded and so forth. It is very clear that this 1 month old member with suspicious history, and even more suspicious listing, is a fraud.

And why can you only use paypal? Do you have all your funds tied up in the PayPal account? You can transfer from a PayPal account to your bank account, for free... takes about 3 business days.

Thanks for the help.

I was wondering why all the nexus ones on ebay are much more expensive. Then I found an acution that said something about taxes making the nexus one cost like $580 from google. Does google charge taxes for the nexus one for OHIO?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
You'll pay around $35-40 in taxes for Ohio. Just go through the checkout process without actually completing the sale at the end and you'll see all the costs.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krohnjw:
Yeah, in the US you'll pay a sales tax. I think it came out to $562 for me in IL ($33 Tax).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
I paid 566.03 after my 7% sales tax.
[HD2 General] ryan74701:
hey guys, so i got my tmobile usa hd2 a week ago and so far its been okay, the phone is so beautiful i love the built quality and the sense UI, BUTTTT the sms lags soo bad sometimes, especially when i have a text message coming in, i restart the phone 1 or 2 times a day it sucks.. i wish i could just use the STOCK windows sms threading style when you disable sense.. :/ any fixes for the lag? or is just windows being windows? im kinda being pulled towards returning it and getting the nexus one..hmm
[HD2 General] MonnieRock:
Hello,

I do not have any lag at all.

2 things I suggest:

delete conversations when you are done

clear all deleted items

Thank you,

Monnie
[HD2 General] ryan74701:
yeah but i shouldnt have to delete all my conversations tho :/ i mean this thing has 3 times the hardware my touch pro has and it never crashed (i dont have touch flo on) bc of the texts unless i had 6k plus texts in my inbox. lol
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
Try the Zenyee Messaging Cab (search XDA; it's posted EVERYWHERE!) to disable HTC Messaging and re-enable WM Messaging.

I don't know if anyone tried it with the stock T-Mo HD2 ROM yet, so I don't know what the results will be like. Just don't blame me if your phone explodes and plunges us into a world war.;):D
[HD2 General] ryan74701:
lolol :P thanks
[HD2 General] davsug:
I just installed Zenyee's cab, and the SMS messaging doesn't have a conversation/threaded view. It's the old 6.1 view, but outlook messaging has conversation vew. Am I missing something? I like the threaded view.
[HD2 General] alexs0fly:
Are you sure the windows messaging client isnt threaded? I may be mistaken but I think that when I disable Sense, my messages are still threaded.
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
The "old 6.1" (WM messaging) client should have the conversation/threaded view. On the top right of the screen there should be a drop-down arrow. Press it and choose either "received" or "conversation".

I have those settings...and I'm using a ROM with the WM messaging client.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
OK, so I am running Damages latest release, only with the Trev mods. (this alone might be the issue, can you help me find out?)

Every ROM I've ever run, even rooted stock, I've always sat on MINIMUM 110m free internal memory. As you can see, Im barely sitting on 80m. I remove just about EVERYTHING stock other than Sense and its main widgets (clocks, mail, bookmarks, calender, and music) along with all that useless nonsense (stocks, nfl, twitter, flickr, the whole nine yards) I've been sitting on 159m free before, and I like to keep it that way (between 110 and 159). I do what I always do when I install a new ROM, I use Root Explorer, multiselect, and delete EVERRRYTHING. I cannot figure out what is running up my free space. Linda claims I'm using 72m of my 159m free space for apps, which is NOT true, as I've only installed 8 apps outside of what came with the ROM and what I removed. I usually am using about 20-50 (when I go download happy on weekends)

This picture is of the free RAM I have (God I love estrong and the widgets) which seems to be OK-ish, generally I have over 90, 106 when things are real good (back on DCV1 100 was my MIN at all times!!)

This is of my SD card and internal storage...yuck!!!

Here's Linda's claim of 45% used up already, with only 8 apps installed.

Heres the 8 apps ive installed

There is something horribly wrong, help?!?!
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
the OS takes up space and your in the /system partition.

89 mb is fine.

please stop making threads for pointless things.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i know perfectly well 89 is ok for ram, but what do you mean im in the /system partition?

this not pointless avalaunch, we've always been cool, dont claim there is no reason for my point. all my posts are legitimate. i dont understand what is happening, and would appreciate help over attitude.

im noticing a major lag too, something is wrong. avalaunch, ease, explain to me what im missing. linda has always said ive had 20-50 used up for apps, at its climax, why is it so high now? why is my phone telling me i have less than 90m free internally, when i garuntee if i nandroid back to dcv1, i know all these things will be fixed.

i dont understand, im asking for help, could you please supply it, or just not respond at all?

[Hero CDMA General] Powers16:
What ever happened to the days where someone had a question and someone had an answer. why does the first douche bag in a forum have to go in someone's post and call it pointless? since when is it pointless to ask questions? douche..
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
ok lets.not start flaming. avalaunche os actually a cool guy, hes helped me out before. i guess hes grumpy today or something.

i feel embarassed cause this is such a noob question, but i truely dont understand. can someone help, please?
[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
I actually have noticed the same problem, when using a2sd ive always had only used 30MB or so, but not it says im using almost 3 times as much, Maybe it has something to do with the rom and a2sd being messed up. but it stated with these sprint leaks, before with every rom it was much less internal memory being used up.. dont know what causes it.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
im not using a2sd

is that automatic in damagedtrev? like if you flash it, no matter what its going to partition and set it up?

ive nevvver used a2sd, i have no need, i keep my phone minimal. how do i tell if im using a2sd, and htf do i stop it?
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
I would like to know if there is an answer to this as well. I have also always shown over 100 plus meg free after installing all my apps.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
so much for being pointless.

are you running damagedtrev damage, or regaw?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
My question is...the comparisons you are performing here, are they based on a 1.5 ROM (since I saw stock rom mentioned)? If so, 2.1 has larger files as part of the base system that will take up more space.

I currently have 84.02MB
[Hero CDMA General] smstutler:
This is making me wonder also. I am looking at my info and says system is using 97 with 61 free, I am using a2sd and last time similar setup i was well over 120 free. May have to check a diff rom tomorrow to see if there is maybe something with it. and although my busybox df -h shows sdcard/sd if i type a2sd in adb i get a2sd: not found. This is in fresh 2.0d btw
[Hero CDMA General] dametzg:
Since you only have 8 apps installed, the OS itself must be using up the rest of the internal memory. My guess is that the ROM's based off the newer Sprint leaks haven't been fully optimized yet to the extent that the Eris-based ROM's were. When the devs have had more time to tweak everything, you'll probably see those numbers go down. Do you need that much internal memory free? The amount of free internal memory you have is not going to affect the performance of your phone (well...maybe if it's completely full). I don't think you really need to worry about it.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
no man! lol, ive been running 2.1 since damage .9x

any ideas?

tia
[Hero CDMA General] redram38:
I have actually used all 3 including the new Fresh 2.1 rom and it is the same. I just figured the OS was larger with it being 2.1 but did not know for sure. IMO nothing is pointless if someone wants to know something, esp when you can search for this and find nothing.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
ok, i can see that. the os is new and not fully optimized and is eating my internal storage. but why is linda claiming im using 45%, when theres just noooo way?

any ideas?

tia
[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
I am comparing roms like darchlegend and eris leaks, all 2.1, but not that im using sprint, my internal memory has been significantly lower. I know a2sd is automatic, but knowing they had problems with it before not sure if something is still messed up. a2sd would be only activated (how its supposed to work) when your sd card is partitioned, which mine is. so you would think using a2sd in my case mine should be even lower than yours.
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I know to disable a2sd, make sure your sd card is not partioned with ext file system. Only have swap and fat32. I just checked my phone and have 101 mb free in the system. Have Fresh2.0d (his newest ROM) flashed right now. Will reflash Regaw's and see what I have.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
DamageControl 2.5 has a newer A2SD that should fix several issues, especially with A2SD not setting things up correctly. But, I can take a look at the issue for you.

Before going into ADB shell, type adb remount to mount your filesystem in read-write mode.

Now, go into ADB shell, at the prompt type:

ls -l /data

Look at the app entry. If it has "-> /system/sd/app" to the right of the entry, then the apps are going to the SD card. If not, you can type the following commands to make it work:

cp /data/app/* /system/sd/app

cp /data/app-private/* /system/sd/app-private

rm -f /data/app

rm -f /data/app-private

ln -s /system/sd/app /data/app

ln -s /system/sd/app-private /data/app-private

Hope that helps.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
ill be honest, given damage seems to be the most popular rom, searching his threads have become such a hassle, its become a general consensus to post a new.thread with a bug not reported in his OP/change logs. i know its cluttery, but ive asked several questions in his threads, for them to get buried seconds later, and searching only brings up the oroginal question you had posted.

avalaunch said i was in system partition. what does that mean?
[Hero CDMA General] Negrito:
I was using DamagedTrev light, and tried everything to get my Hero to sleep but it wouldnt. Using the free memory widget, and checking my phone through out the day at work i could watch the ram get depleted until the phone became unusable and i would have to pull the battery. I never figured out what was causing it, as i had fixed my PRI, and my TWS was 0%. I have since changed ROMs, sorry i couldnt be of more help.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
wow man, it certainly would if geeksquad didnt have my pc right now. anything i cam do in terminal emulator?

edit; forgot to say thankyou!
[Hero CDMA General] unCoRrUpTeD:
I'm sure you can do it all from emulator...

Not on topic but what size should my ext and swap filesystem be? Any advantage to having a bigger swap and ext filesystem?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I can't say for Fresh 2.0d, but DamageControl 2.5 and RegawMOD 2.0.1 has a newer a2sd that addresses the setup issue. And, that is true, there is a conditional statement that checks to see if the second partition on your SD card exists. If it does, it attempts to mount it as ext3 first, then ext2 if that fails. If mounting fails, it will simply exit the script without doing anything else.

Actually, I'm using a2sd...so that's about right. I'll check out other roms to see what the memory count is. I do know it was higher with 1.5.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
yeah i thought thats how you set up a2sd, i thought maybe when flashing the rom it partitioned for you somehow, truely automatic a2sd. 101 free? id kill for that right now. thanks for flashinv to help, i really, really, apreciate it.

take note i am experiencing some lag. should i consider autokiller ontop of the preinstalled lmk?

remember, im on damagedtrev, which might be the issue all on its own.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
lol 1.5 was like a sausage down a hallway so much space when rooted. im convinced its the bulky os, but im still confused about linda. one more app and my phone might.combust!
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
In regards to swap file, 32MB is great for general use. If you are a heavy user (opens a lot of applications and don't have an aggressive task killer), you can set it to 64MB (that's where mine is). Don't go anymore than 64MB...the performance of the phone will degrade considerably.

As for the ext2/ext3 partition, most people I have read use 512MB. I have mine set for 6GB (I have a 16GB SD card), which is probably a bit much. It all depends on how many applications you are going to open, but between 512MB and 1GB is probably a good range.

[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
when i try to do rm -f /data/app and so on, i get failed for -f read only file system. but it does show when i put in cp/data/app/* /system/sd/app, that there is a file in both directories. how can i fix this?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Sorry...before you do adb shell, type adb remount. That will fix your issue.
[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
yeah i did, weird. still says it.. what is -f for?, wish i could get it to work, probaly what ive experienced. dont know why though i setup my sd card right
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
yeh sorry that was a very douche like response i left. im stressed today. anyways the phone has a 512mb rom.

/radio

/system

/boot

/data

/cache

/etc

all take up space. the os is installed in the /system partition and depending on the size of the os depends on the memory left for applications.

apps2sd should solve your problem. sorry for the rude response.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
sorry, not linux/terminal literate

is this my issue?

let me know if you cant read it, ill resize it (shootme, and easytether on a friends computer) id adb it up, but im not trying to install anything on his computer (it was a ***** to convince him to let me install et)

keep in mind i dont WANT a2sd, i have no reason for it, i only have mx of twenty apps, mostly replacements for stock bs!

thanks so much for helping man
[Hero CDMA General] danknuggz:
i asked this same question last night
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
-f is force. It forces the rm command to delete everyting in the directory before removing it.

Try this in adb shell:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

Then execute the commands.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
I kinda skimmed through this, but Iv had the same issue on the latest rom, iv always ran a2sd and deleted quite a few apps from system/apps and always sat around 75 to 110m (75 with alot of stuff running) of free rom. With the newest DC 2.05 im at 65 with just about nothing running.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
you are more than forgiven. :p

i just cant bring myself to use a2sd when i use such minimal apps. and from what i understand, a2sd makes the apps run and open slower, loose their saved data sometimes, and should really only be used for people who use over 50 apps regularly (um...wow...)

ive trimmed down the rom, but i let me get this straight...even if i removed every single apk from the rom, the os's foundation is still going to eat up my internal memory like a fat kid at a buffet?
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
To reverse a2sd, type the following:

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock3 /system

mount -o rw,remount -t yaffs2 /dev/block/mtdblock5 /data

rm /data/app

rm /data/app-private

mkdir /data/app

mkdir /data/app-private

chmod 0771 /data/app

chmod 0771 /data/app-private

cp /system/sd/app/*

cp /system/sd/app-private/*

mv /system/bin/a2sd /system/bin/a2sd.bak

That will uninstall a2sd and put all your apps back into internal memory. It will also prevent the a2sd script from running at startup (by renaming it a2sd.bak). If you want a2sd again, just rename the script back to a2sd.
[Hero CDMA General] Avalaunchmods:
well not really. i have 63.26mb left with 5 apps. theres alot still in dc that needs to be removed. try fresh 2.0d and see what your memory looks like. it should be better.

and yeh apps2sd is not my favorite thing in the world either. it kills sd cards. but like i said test roms and see which one suits your needs the most.
[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
hate to be a pain, and i thank you for your help, but unfortunately it still says read only, says failed for -f read only file system again. is there another way? when i type in adb remount it says succeeded
[Hero CDMA General] digitalscars:
i deleted the to folders in root explorer manually, then ran the last two ln -s commands (not sure what they are) and now im rebooting, and ill check again.

yeah it didnt work, apps are still in /data/app and also system/sd/app.. maybe i should go to damages rom? on fresh right now.
[Hero CDMA General] mountaindont:
i think i used the new fresh for like two seconds, but then saw the amazing themes treve had posted, and just couldnt resist. are there.any themes out for freshs? and plus as im sure we ALL know the trackba is my biggest concern (god im lame) does fresh have the trackball fix? im trying to get a group of devs together to pick apart the latest sprint leaks, more specifically the tb led fix, and get it to be consistant.

ill head on over too freshs thread, see wat hes got goin on. im still using flipz pri, so i might as well.

one quick question before closing the thread....any easier way of canceling a2sd? can i just backup my sd card, and format it?

thanks so much for all the help guys. you all really stepped up, and i reaaally appreciate it.

i truthfully dont understand how i got it in the first place. i did NOT partition my sd card.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
I just reviewed the script. I'm getting cp and rm confused.

The -f is for cp, not rm. Try replacing the -f to -r.

rm -r /data/app

rm -r /data/app-private

See if that fixes things.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
Is the program list in /data/app the same as /system/sd/app? If so, it's working. /data/app is nothing more than a pointer (symbolic link) to /system/sd/app when the ln command is successful.
[Hero CDMA General] tkirton:
A2sd is part of most roms. It is only activated if the second partition on the sd card is an ext2 or ext3 partition.

The easiest way is to backup the sd card and reformat it to FAT32. You may also need to perform a wipe.
[Hero CDMA General] dametzg:
I have the newest Fresh ROM and installed the Black Droid and Clear Lockscreen themes from Treve's thread. I can't guarantee all the themes there will work with Fresh, but the ones I installed work great.
