Don't worry, it's only your touch panel dying. You will need to replace it soon or send your Milestone to repair service.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kassipopassi:
Hi guys i had this problem with some roms on my X10 mini pro and now i have this problem since i "downgraded" from CM7 to CM6 on my milestone.

Whenever i want to play a song from an artist with an unknown album, the subtext shows "1 of 178 (the amount of songs without artists i have)" and if i click on it, the player shows me ALL songs without an album instead of showing me the single track of the artist. On CM7 the subtext shows a.e. 1 of 1... :(

I hope someone understands my problem and can help me ;)

The backlight on the physical keyboard of my milestone recently stopped working. I've read somewhere that this might be a software issue and elsewhere that its hardware.

Is this a known issue? Any fixes or explanations I should know about?

Hi guys,

I noticed that my hotmail and corporate accounts were really slow... so I had a fiddle with the options and have found the below 'fix'.

Open an email in your non-gmail account. Press the menu button, display mode and change to 'original'.

It appears that the lag associated with opening these types of emails is due to the app changing the colour etc of the email. Without this processing mine became very quick.

[Nexus One General] mamoulian666:
It seems as if there's some code in the SMS-receiving app that says 'if the phone is reporting low memory, fire a 'warning' notification and completely forget the message I just got sent'. We do not get to see who sent the message, and the sender is not sent a 'message failed' response.

As we know the phone reports 'low memory' a bit cautiously, you could actually have 10mb spare - plenty for an SMS. It's possible for the phone to reach a 'low memory' status whilst in your pocket, so the user doesn't know he's going to miss txts until one comes in.

Could really do with a mod to do something about this - still show the warning but accept the text as normal rather than dropping it?

This would go wrong if there actually isn't enough space to store the message (<1k?), but if the warning fires on every text then at least the user has had a chance to do something about it.
[Nexus One General] lifeflayer:
Can the Nexus One actually run out of memory to receive a mere SMS? :/ Has this ever happened to you before or is this just a hypothetical question/request?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
I don't think he would talk so specifically about it in detail if he was just making it up. I've lost an sms before too.

I was under the warning limit, but between 10mb and 20mb free, and my phone decided to tell me there wasn't enough room on the phone when an sms came in and that's that. No indication as to whom it was from, and definitely no way to get it again.
[Nexus One General] Prof. Yaffle:
Yeap, it definitely does this. I've had it happen a few times and very annoying it is too. The message never gets received but shows as delivered at the other end.
[Nexus One General] mamoulian666:
Yes it has happened to me several times since having the N1, and just a few days ago on 2.2. Sometimes it's been 'my fault' because I've ignored the 'low on memory' notification, sometimes it's been the first I've heard of it - by then it's too late.

Either way, just dropping the message like that is not good :-/

Oh, and no, I don't think I've ever *actually* run out of memory, I've seen that 'low memory' warning appear but still have just under 10mb free.

So I think the SMS-receiving-code is being overly cautious/strict.
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
+1 for some workaround for this situation, when I went from cyan ext3 to froyo stock and trying fit everything on I did lose a few texts, which I had no idea where they were from.
[Nexus One General] legion21:
what is the low memory warning? Can this phone actually run out of memory?
[Nexus One General] Clarkster:
Low internal storage space. The SMS's are not saved in ram you know? :) Install too many applications and you run out of internal storage space.
[Nexus One General] Naffets:
So can we clarify if this is low MEMORY or low STORAGE being as the two are completely different?

I've had missing messages so this may explain it?
[Nexus One General] Navik57:
It is when you have low STORAGE. Internal storage to be precise. Would be nice if you could have SMS going to mem-card. But yes, I have had the same issue in the past. And there is no way to retrieve the 'delivered' message that I know of. Very annoying.
[Nexus One General] mamoulian666:
Yes, low storage.

Install a load of stuff... Google Earth and Fennec beta should do it, and you'll get the warning. But it's a bit over-sensitive, you could still have 10mb or so left.

There's an issue for this on the official tracker:

http://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=4991

doesn't look like it'll be looked at in a hurry though as there's not very many stars... so I hope a mod might be possible until G gets around to it?

(if you want to register your interest in the issue just star it, no need to comment with a 'me too' unless you're adding some info)

Edit: please keep 'store messages on SD card' to another thread... that is a big job, and it's not like we would actually have problems storing one 250-character message when we've got 10mb of space. The fix is for it to ignore that warning.
[Nexus One General] dogiedogie:
IDEA, install a program that when internal mem is detected as below the threshold where the system will rej, and overwride the default messaging and take hold of the message itself (and presumably SD it)
[Nexus One General] existonz09:
a very irratating bug indeed.. i have missed countless sms cause i have tonz of apps installed on an unrooted fone; leading to low internal storage RAM and thus getting this error... FROYO isnt much of a help with the option to put apps to SD since the apps have to integrate that feature and 95% of apps currently in the marked dont have that feature YET.. even GOOGLE Earth (25mb <- WAAA so big!!!) ..
[Nexus One General] thelucster:
I've added a comment to the bug. I would suggest everyone else does if you want this bug fixed officially, otherwise talk nicely to a dev on this forum :)
[Nexus One General] mamoulian666:
No, don't add a COMMENT, just add a STAR. 'Me too' comments get emailed to everyone and are annoying. STARs register interest. Thanks! :)

So is it possible to fix this with a mod? Is it even in the SMS app or is it some other code that handles receiving the message?
[Nexus One General] icecreamisdrugs:
try this post for altering your low space threshold:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=877793
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
I have had this happen to me too.

The most infuriating part of the matter is that the phone rejects the message, but the message is GONE forever. You have no idea who sent it, and they have no idea you never got the message. On top of that, there is still nearly 20mb of space left. WTF the phone needs to reject a 1kb sms when there is 20mb of space left completely blows my mind.

It is a terrible glitch and one of the few things I severely dislike about android.

One option could be an app for when the phone hits low storage, to put the phone in air plane mode?

This would prevent ANY sms from being rejected until you delete space, and take the phone out of air plane mode.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Once you get up to the limit on apps no matter where the low storage limit is set you always run the risk of running into it. It would be better to simply put all the data on sd, there would be no performance hit and the problem is permafixed. As an added advantage all your texts are backed up locally and with just a little more coding could be set up to be restored as needed when the app was reinstalled on the same or new device.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
It is not that simple. AFAIK sms/mms are stored in the sqlite database. Which needs some maneuver space to operate normally. In fact, android SQLiteOpenHelper under certain threshold will open the database only in the readonly mode. Which seems to be happening here.

The pragmatic solution would be to "tweak" the free space display and show the real size minus some 30mb "reserve". So, the user would see "0 bytes left" and would not complain. Better still - stop receiving messages and signal "memory full" to the Short Message Service Center. Adding nagging notifications to the user. Seems like unfinished work by google.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
The SD way would be a straight road to hell, since all the data can "disappear" from under your arse at any random moment.

It's enough just to plug-in the USB cable or simply pop-out the card (easily doable on many models).

Even worse: someone can easily delete anything on the card since it is a stupid FAT32 with no permissions whatsoever. O just insert different SD card from the different phone. It is far from trivial to define what should the apps do in this case.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
1) There is no way to take SD card out on Nexus without powering it down or cutting the battery.

2) The problem is specific to devices with low internal memory, nobody's looking for solutions to inexistent problem.

3) On Nexus, you have either default Froyo's or DarkTremor's Apps2SD, the latter solves the storage problem once and for good. Absolutely no reason not to use it. This is why this thread was laying dead for 1/2 year - because it became pointless - and that's why it needs to return to the void, since it won't go anywhere. The only proper solution is to add signaling "full" back to SMS server, and it's not up to devs. The reason why Google didn't integrate it on OS level is not clear, but on current devices with tons of storage I would imagine that it's going to be a very rare situation.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
For a "normal" SD card (without an app2sd partition) it is enough to mount the SD card via USB.

Yes, agreed, but the Apps2SD is a little bit geeky solution, certainly not for everyone.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
I suspect that there won't be a "good" solution from Google, ever. Much easier solution was implemented in all the new phones - lots of internal memory, and something tells me that even Froyo's Apps2SD was a forced move for Google, something they didn't really want to make or support, and it won't get any better. So all the devices with low internal memory - like Nexus, Desire and older phones - are left behind, and 10MB more or less won't make any difference, I'm afraid. So people still using those phones either have to live with the restrictions, or use "geeky solution" - not for SMS, but for being able to use the device well.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
Someone could light your house on fire, steal your car, bone your old lady, the list is endless. I could lose that data without putting it on sd and I have done just that twice. On the other hand I have had one sd card failure and that I had backed up unlike the internal. I'm not seeing anything compelling in your comment and "road to hell" is a wee bit much.
[Nexus One General] krabman:
You can still run into low storage. I am on enom with a 1 gig ext3 and about 200 apps and capped because of low storage. Its not the ext thats running dry, there is still room there. You are right though, greater storage has been the answer to bloated apps and so on for quite a while now and it essentially fixes this problem. Not that that helps us any.
[Nexus One General] draugaz:
How about "I just swapped my SD card and all of my SMS'es are gone. WTF?" :)

Or "I can't receive my messages anymore while connected to the USB!!!".

O course, you could have two databases at the same time. But you still would have the same problem when your phone is connected to the USB (SD card is unavailabe and main memory is full).

So it is not a real solution and would introduce a lot of additional complexity and (of course) bugs. It is simply not worth it, the only real solution is to have enough memory.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
When you see it, you RAGGGGGGEEEEEEE

I still think that my idea of kicking the phone in to airplane mode when you get the low space warning would be a quick and dirty work around to this problem.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
FYI: This appears to be fixed in FRG83G!!!

Even though I hit low memory (18mb free) the low memory warning never pops in and my SMS's never get rejected! Yes!

in response to someone asking whether or not tethering was working.

Has anyone looked into this? What isn't working about it, outside of "not working"? I have very little kernel dev experience, and even less time, but if it's an easy-ish fix, I can look into it.

I assume the kernel dev stuff is done via the android emulator stuff, so as not to crash your device over and over and over again if you get it wrong?

I waited for months for Spb to release Wallet for Android. There's a big thread on their forums (two actually) requesting it, but all they'll say is that they're working on bringing their products to Android.

So I gave up, and after looking into a few options decided on LastPass. They don't have an Spb Wallet import option (though you could always ask for one), but the product is great. All you data is stored (encrypted) on their cloud, they have extensions for all the major browsers (including Chrome), and have apps for all the mobile platforms of choice (including Android).

A premium account is $12/year and gives access to their mobile apps, but if you prefer you can stay with a free account and access your passwords through their mobile website.

Import from SPB Wallet works with Safe Wallet v2.0.3.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JVogler:
SPB, along with a few other companies, just can't figure out how to make the same kind of money off Android as they did with WM...with all the free apps on market, they can't compete with 10 or 15 dollar apps. I would easily pay that to not have had to redo all my wallet info. I mean that was the whole reason for using it...but I went with 'pocket' for android...since it syncs with dropbox.

EDIT: Wow, wishing I hadn't at the moment...just found B-Folders...runs on every platform and specifically imports spb wallet text.

So the sync wasn't perfect, it did however get all data...it's just in 1 imported folder, so will have to reorganize...but all the info is there. It's a bit spendy, but I love the idea of being able to sync it to as many devices and pc as I want without using a cloud server.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Malicieux:
I found this for SPB Wallet to KeePass, and then to KeePassDroid import.

Basically, you export from SPB Wallet as .txt, then trough this you convert the .txt to .xml format, which is readable for the desktop version of KeePass (I succeeded with xml v1.0 import on KeePass for windows), and then you move the .kdbx to android and open it with KeePassDroid.

Works for me although it doesn't import the categories as they are in spb, but it's ok:)
