I have not had any problems with the alarm... have used it almost every day for three weeks now...

... But keep in mind that the alarm does not go off if you turn the device off... ;) (that is a bit annoying, since other SonyEricsson phones support alarm while being turned off!.. However.. just set it to flight-mode instead.. problem solved!)

Regards // OwL
[XPERIA X10 General] fast rock:
Are you using a task manager and killing the alarm clock?
[XPERIA X10 General] fojis1982:
If i set it to flight mode overnight how can i receive phone calls. My job involves me being on call on some nights.. So if the display of the phone is off you saying i can not get the alarm to sound off in the morning?
[XPERIA X10 General] OwLOwLOwL:
No... That was not what I meant... ofcourse having the phone on (normal, non-flight-mode) works just aswell too!.. I meant, if you usually switch off your phone at night, then the alarm wont go off!.. and instead of switching the phone completely off, one can use flight-mode instead...

Leaving the phone on (either in flight-mode or non-flight-mode) causes my alarm to work as it should.

[XPERIA X10 General] cashaw:
I also had a similar issue and tracked it down to the Task-killer killing the alarm application. It took me a while to realise that the 'Clock' on my homescreen had also been stopped when using the 'task manager'. I added the clock to the ignore list and everything has worked fine since then...
[XPERIA X10 General] dubdec99:
I had the same problem all last week - and yeah it was my own fault as i was killing all apps with advanced task killer. Only realised that this mornig :-) So don't kill the alarm app.....i wonder what the battery drain is by leaving it on?

For me alarm is working but i don't know how to set up the phone to start the alarm when an event in calendar is about to start :)

Any ideas?
[XPERIA X10 General] The Doc:
The alarm on my X10 is not working properly. There is a bug somewhere. On at least three occassions it failed to wake me up in the morning. This morning as well and the last thing I did before going to bed was making sure the alarm function was running. I have now tested the alarm a couple of times by creating new alarms and they all work.

btw: The one not working was set to go off every day at 07:00. It did work the first morning.

Phone: Model x10i, Firmware:1.6, Baseband:1.0.14, Kernel:2.6.26-rel semc-android@SEMC #2, Build no.:R1FA014
[XPERIA X10 General] Zenghelis:
Did you try to ignore alarm in task killer/manager? Since i did that my alarm works fine and it's set to go off every day at 7 like yours.
[XPERIA X10 General] brunswick000:
Ya had the same problem and task killer was to blame. Would definetly start there.

Bandswitch does a few tricks for me. However, it should be possible to:

1. Disconnect ANY idle connection after a given amount of time

2. Connect to WLAN IF there is a WLAN in Proximity which the phone has connection data and ONLY IF there is need for a connection

3. ELSE Connect to provider I-Net ONLY IF there is need for a connection

Very simple, one should mean. Bandswitch does most of this, exept it sill connects to provider I-Net although there is a WLAN (with password available) in proximity.

Hi all. May be stupid question but ... Is there any differences between HTC Desire and HTC Desire A 8181. I just google 'HTC Desire A 8181' and all results are (Unlocked).
[Desire General] soledue:
не, едни и същи са
[Desire General] FloatingFatMan:
Nope... A8181 is just the model number.. Like the KAIS130 on the Kaiser...
[Desire General] artymarty:
Not so sure about that... when you do a support call to HTC in the dropdown it has listed them as two seperate devices...

I am thinking that the A8181 is the LCD version, as they ship them without AMOLED now due to shortages of AMOLED screens...
[Desire General] HighSnobility:
No it's not.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
No - my Desire is an A8181, and it's AMOLED and I've had it for months. I don't know if the SLCD version has been given a new model number, but the Telstra Desire was the A8183 and the only difference between it and the A8181 is support for different radio bands.

Note: Newer version of Darktremor Apps2SD can be found here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670087

Okay...since I ended up rebuilding the Apps2SD 2.0 due to improvements and to allow moving the dalvik-cache automatically (per request), I figured I better just release this.

Apps2SD version 2.5

Warning: Do not use this version if you are partitioning your SD card with ext4. This version is not compatible with that partition layout.

Apps2SD is a script that runs when you phone boots. Many of the ROM developers include the script in one form or another. Originally based on Cyanogen's Apps2SD, this script will allow a user to free up more storage space on their phone.

How does it do it? It uses an ext2 or ext3 partition (if one exists) to move all your free and purchased apps (not core apps) to the ext2/ext3 partition on your SD card. It also tricks Android into thinking it is storing your programs in the internal storage space by linking the install directories (/data/app and /data/app-private) to similar directories on the sd card.

Here's the program:

http://www.darktremor.com/files/misc/a2sd-2.5-signed.zip

Requirement: An ext2 or ext3 partition on your SD Card.

HOW TO INSTALL:

Since you are flashing this version to your phone, do a nandroid backup of your phone before starting these instructions.

1. Download the program above.

2. Determine if you have setup your SD Card with an ext partition

3. In recovery, select Flash zip from sdcard.

4. In Flash zip from sdcard, select a2sd-2.5-signed.zip. Press HOME to flash.

5. Reboot phone.

What does this program do:

1. Moves applications to the sd card

2. Moves dalvik-cache to the sd card

3. Activates swap partition if one exists

4. Allows the user to deactivate a2sd without removing the ext2/ext3 partition (a2sd remove to deactivate, a2sd install to activate)

5. Allows the user to restore dalvik-cache back to the main memory (a2sd nocache to deactivate, a2sd cache to activate)

6. Allows the user to deactivate swap (a2sd noswap to deactivate, a2sd swap to activate)

7. Creates the /system/sd mount if one doesn't exists.

How to tell if it is working:

1. On your computer in the Android SDK Tools directory, type adb shell

2. In the adb shell, type ls -l /data

3. Look for the entries app and app-private. The entries should look like the following:

app -> /system/sd/app

app-private -> /system/sd/app-private

If they don't, follow these instructions:

1. Enter the ADB Shell by typing adb shell

2. In the ADB shell, type /system/bin/a2sd install

If you have any issues, you can PM me for assistance.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] troyboytn:
works perfectly for me as well. everything s on the card and my phone is as smooth as silk
[Hero CDMA Android Development] luftwaffles86:
Ran this last night and same thing happened to me. It happens because your phone is on and suddenly all of your apps have moved to your SD card. Simply reboot and everything will be back to normal.

Running perfectly for me on Fresh 2.0d. Going entirely app crazy as a result.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] puertoblack2003:
lol or even better use titanium and backup up all apps and restored them back...;)
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
It can if your phone is already setup with an ext3 partition. If not, you'll need to go to recovery first and do that.

It's easier to flash this via recovery, but if you want to do this manually, here's what you do:

1. Unzip the contents of the zip to a folder

2. Open a command prompt and type adb remount

3. Push the system/bin folder to the /system/bin directory on the phone by typing adb push <folder>/system/bin /system/bin where <folder> is the folder you extracted the zip to.

4. Push the system/lib folder to the /system/lib directory on the phone by typing adb push <folder>/system/lib /system/lib where <folder> is the folder you extracted the zip to.

5. Type adb shell "chmod 777 /system/bin/a2sd"

6. Type adb shell "chmod 777 /system/bin/e2fsck"

If you already have the ext2/ext3 partition, type /system/bin/a2sd to activate.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Don't usually scan this thread as there is a thread for Darktremor A2SD 2.7.

On Modaco Desire roms, the built-in a2sd uses cache to store dalvik-cache. It is possible that 2.5 tries to move it to SD card, but fails with that Rom.

I'm working with someone on 2.7 that has similar issues with Modaco and the Legend. I should have a new package by end of Sunday.

2.5, for all intensive purposes, is not actively supported.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=670087

This is the thread to Darktremor A2SD version 2.7 (the successor to 2.5). I'm trying to get people to post over there since I'm supporting that version.

But to answer your questions:

1. There is only one stock rom that actually has A2SD in it (and it is a 2.1 Rom): http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682373

Stock roms do not have the code in init.rc to actually launch A2SD. Remember, Sprint, HTC and Google (not to mention every other carrier) doesn't want you to run applications from the SD card (deemed it a security risk...though it looks like Froyo has an A2SD built in)...problem is, the Linux kernel on the phones doesn't restrict you from putting an ext partition on your SD card. Once that happens, the phone sees it as Linux storage, which you can run programs from.

Now, there was a huge demand for the stock rom to have A2SD in it for 2.1, and I took DamageControl's rooted stock rom and added A2SD to it. But it is the only one that has A2SD in it.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
How much space do you have? It could be dalvik-cache that is consuming it. Try typing in /system/bin/a2sd cache from the adb shell prompt. That will move dalvik-cache to the sd card.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4SidedDie:
I get

[*] starting A2SD version 2.5

[ ] starting Dalvik-cache move to SD card

[X] Dalvik-cache is already symbolicacally linked

I have about 135 mb, and my apps show up under phone memory on Linda file manager that its taking up 27 mb or somthing like that for my apps so far.

If it helps I wiped my dalvik cache, sd partiton, after installing the update and reinstalling my apps.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:
Is this the same 2.5 version I downloaded and flashed a couple of weeks or so ago or is it diff from that one?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
If you are only taking up 27MB, that would be about right. The stock apps (/system/app) are still on the main memory as well as the rest of the operating system (plus other caches that aren't dalvik related).

This is, of course, presuming that the 135mb is the amount free. If it is used space, then there still is a problem.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
If you downloaded this when there was discussions relating to Fresh 2.0d taking up a lot of system space, then this would be the same program that moved the dalvik-cache.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4SidedDie:
Thank you for clearing that up, do you take donations? I mean I dont really know how else to thank you for taking up your time to answer a question of mine
[Hero CDMA Android Development] redram38:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] azn1:

[Hero CDMA Android Development] 4SidedDie:
Also, how do you verify how much space you've used on your partition and how do you clear the caches off the memory card, or do they automatically clear?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlem26:
is this supposed to work for those folks who also ran the ruu? The script finishes and says it is working, but then everything force closes over and over. Reboot and it is in a boot loop. Cleared dalvik cache in recovery and it gets past the sprint logo and reboots in the loop.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Which Mode?

With phone on I have tried charge only, HTC Sync, Disk Drive and Internet sharing, neither has worked.

Also I have USB debugging connected.

Which mode? Only recovery?

TIA:confused:
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Haven't tested it with straight RUU. I wouldn't think it would work with RUU since the actual entry to launch apps2sd is missing from the init.rc.

Can you send me the logcat...I may be able to identify the issue.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
Keep it on charge only if you are using adb shell method. If you want to flash it using recovery, put the phone in disk drive mode and transfer the file to your sd card. Put it back in Charge mode (that will remount the SD card) and reboot the phone in recovery.

Make sure debugging is on.

If you are using Windows platform, you'll have to install HTC Sync if you want to transfer to the sd card from the computer.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Very Good Guide!

Now working!!!;););)

Must have been something locking up recognition when in charge mode.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
To clear the other caches requires another program. Get CacheMate from the market...that will clear the other caches.

Some of the file managers (such as ES Explorer) may be able to tell you the free space remaining.

I have purged my dalvik-cache, did the fix uid mismatches etc.

I reboot, go into market and it shows update for handcent. I click it and the uninstall is greyed out and when I try to update, after the download it fails to install with the above.

Anyone have any ideas? It thinks it is installed somewhere, but I don't know where it could be or how to manually remove it.

I have the same issue. I was able to kick start it by running a2sd install during the boot loop. this allowed me to get past it and my phone boots/works perfectly. Now to update the init.rc and have it stick after a reboot.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Bielinsk:
Thanks for the info, but don't think that is it.

With apps2sd, now the /data/app is actually linked to /system/sd/app.

/system/app is for built in applications, I did however look there as well and there is no reference for handcent.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] thatguythatdid:
Try /system/sd/app-private

Yea tried that location as well.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] jlem26:
I sent the logcat to you tkirton, since you can use adb to run /system/bin/a2sd during the boot loop and it will boot up fine is there a certain section of init.rc to just add /system/bin/a2sd so it will run automagically?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] tkirton:
It's not as easy as that. Granted, you do modify the init.rc to add the line to run a2sd at the start, you can't modify it directly (it is part of the boot image itself). You'll have to extract the boot image from your phone, break it down into boot and ramdisk, uncompress the ramdisk, modify the init.rc, recompress the ramdisk, reassemble it to the boot, create a new boot.img, send that one to your phone, erase your boot partition and (finally) flash the boot.img to your boot sector.

Quicker way is to extract the boot.img from one of the ROMs and flash that manually.

Attached is an init.rc that you can view. It's from my Darktremor kernel.
