[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saadislam:
Did you wipe all partitions before flashing??
[Wildfire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ta2dwez:
I found that you have to delete data from Contacts Storage. It seems to have fixed it!
[Desire General] kylegordon:
Afternoon all,

Last night I left my Desire charging as normal, having recently installed the Remote Media App. I suspect it used up all my storage with some sort of indexing process, as I returned to the phone this morning to find it perpetually showing the glinting HTC logo.

A reboot failed to clear it, and booting into recovery mode reveals"E:Error in DATA:data/recovery/log, (No space left on device)"

I've tried connecting to it with adb, but I get the following error

- exec '/system/bin/sh' failed: No such file or directory (2) -

Is there any way out of this bind? I had/have ClockWorkMod recovery installed in order to use ROM Manager, but I'm not terribly clued up on what else is out there on offer.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Kyle
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Try rebooting the phone into recovery mode and wipe/factory reset and see if this fixes it?

(Although you will loose all your apps/settings/scenes, though)

This should resolve the problem though.
[Desire General] kylegordon:
hehe, there is always that option. I was hoping not to lose texts, settings, etc though this time round. Sadly my backup is more than a few days old.

I was mistaken in thinking I had ClockWorkMods recovery image installed, it appears to have gone back to the default image. I've just discovered a modified recovery ROM from JesusFreke here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=443041 which may be of use.

Having to wipe and start from scratch again is a disgustingly appaling out of space failure mode. >:-/
[Desire General] munkehman:
bin the phone and use a pineapple
[Desire General] foxmeister:
That recovery image is for G1! Don't even think about flashing it.

Even if you have stock recovery, you should still be able to clear storage from HBOOT.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] foxmeister:
One other thing that might be worth trying is booting the device in safe mode.

Whilst the phone is power down, hold down the menu button and then power on - keep menu held down until the phone is fully booted.

I doubt that it will help in this situation, since clearly /data is completely full, but there's always a slim chance it work.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] kylegordon:
Thanks for the advice m, I'll be sure to kick you in the nads next time you cross the border :-)
[Desire General] kylegordon:
Sadly Safe Mode fails too. The HTC logo appears and glints for a while, and then briefly vanishes just to reappear again. My thumb got sore after 5 minutes of holding the button down :-)

I realised that was a G1 ROM shortly after reading more about it! I see there may be a more suitable recovery ROM at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=709146 that I can flash. Failing that, then I'll clear storage and consign myself to failure :-p
[Desire General] kylegordon:
Wahey! It's sorted! Well, it was sorted a couple of hours ago, but a meeting got in the way :-)

Wrote up some of the details here - http://lodge.glasgownet.com/2010/08/31/recovering-a-htc-desire/ if anyone is interested!
[Desire General] M1m3R:
Sorry to dig up an OLD OLD thread, but your "guide" helped me out last night.

In addition to looking for "big" items in the data partition, I also moved some of the Google updates (5meg Maps.apk anyone ?) from /data/app to /system/app ... renaming to overwrite the original version from my Rom.

Thanks Again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xarxiusxiii:
Hey everyone,

Yesterday I foolishly applied the Kies update to JPC without getting an unlock code first, and was left with a phone I couldn't actually use as a phone. I then tried flashing back to earlier firmwares via Odin (at the time it wasn't clear what was causing this problem, so I thought reverting to older firmwares would fix it). By the time a fix was posted, I was back on JF3. At least now I'm not that nervous about using Odin :D

My question is, now that I'm back to JF3 and can use Odin to flash any firmware, which would be the best option to go with? Which is the fastest, most stable one that you've tried? If necessary, I will root and apply a lagfix, but I'd prefer to have a firmware which maybe doesn't require one. Do you think maybe I should apply the JPC update through Odin again, or would it be too much of a hassle and too risky?

Thanks for your help.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzzdelux:
1)is the delay in the ringing for incoming calls like there is with earlier htc phones(such as my touch hd)

2)to move music/videos etc from pc to phone is it still as simple as draging and dropping?

3)where can you get paid/free apps such as copilot etc?

4)does the desire still have widows programs such as word, rss hub etc?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not sure what you mean here?

Yes, or you can use an application like DoubleTwist to sync for you.

The Android Market application on the phone - at the very least you'll see free apps, but visibility of paid apps depends on whether or not they are available in your region.

The Desire is not a Windows phone, and does not run any windows mobile applications. However, there are normally analogous Android apps to perform most tasks you require - for example, if you want to read/write MS Office files, there is DocumentsToGo and other similar applications.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzzdelux:
when i call my touch hd from another phone there is a big delay in actual ring time.

so the caller would here the phone ringing a few seconds before the htc would actually start ringing ( this is just with personalised ringtones / mp3s etc)

does it have somekind of rss hub where i can download podcasts like the best of the chris moyles show etc?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chichoko:
1. I havent noticed any delay on my custom ringtones so I assume there is no such bug on the Desire..

2. Foxmeister exactly answered your second question.

3. Depending on where you live you may or may not see any of the paid apps offered on the market. But rest assured that the full version of Copilot cannot be obtained for free from the Android Market.. as for other means of obtaining it.. i would refer from talking about it here...

4. There is an app which came pre-loaded on my Desire which could open Word, Excel and PDF files called Quickoffice. You cannot edit the documents with it though.. Thats why I've got OfficeSuite and I can do whatever I please with the documents.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dazzzdelux:
it seems like this phone has got alot more complicated to use compared to the touch HD and the iphone.

for example. to put themes on the touch hd it was just a case of downloading a .cab and clicking install. from what ive read so far it seems much more complicated on the desire.

also for downloading/listening to podcasts you could just use rss hub, i havnt been able to find similar for the desire
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Having never used RSS Hub, I couldn't say, but there are plenty of RSS readers for Android. A quick google returned this one, which seems to do what you want. Given the age of the review, I guess there are many more by now.

Dave

Compared to JP2 second edition:

[+] JP2 is missing "Edit" button to edit/remove/add Touch Wiz screens, it exists in JPC

[+] More responsive than JP2 especially after factory reset, no lag fix required (IMHO)

[+] JP2 is much darker in auto brightness settings

[+] After turning off data connections and turning them on - the connection is lost - bug fixed in JPC

[-] Serious bug in Exchange client - reply to an email sends... original message, loosing all the reply text !!! <---- THIS IS BLOCKER BUG FOR BUSINESS USERS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Please add it to the main list!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Updated Music Player! higher res album art, volume controls on opposite sides, slightly visually different :cool:
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] azreil24:
+ better gsm signal

+ fast, responsive (although others seem to point to opposite)

+ faster CPU performance even though JIT is not enabled (from what I know)

+ no need for lagfix (again, that is available for me, others say the opposite)

Flashed from the first try, without problems, no IMEI change or other problems that seem to apply to other users.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
Which we would do were it not for a portion of your information being misleading or incorrect.

device vibrates once it has finished the shut down sequence

Other firmwares have done this. Not new.

GPS issues are fixed

They are improved. Still seeing slight inaccuracies with street side. Others reporting much quicker lock on but positioning still inaccurate when traveling, however with less severity.

pinch to zoom on touchwiz

Still not as smooth as the pinch to zoom out on Launcher Pro. Incorrectly detects it as an attempt to swipe the page left/right with some regularity.

# Swype auto-capitalization gets it wrong and does the first two letters instead of one

Can not reproduce this despite attempts across multiple apps. Typing "The quick brown fox jumped. He liked to jump over the dog" refuses to produce double capitalization upon auto-capping of new sentence.

product code changes

Not necessarily, some had the KOR code before flashing to JPC, and some didn't have it even after flashing. Either way it's reversible, as demonstrated in the [GUIDE] thread.

but quadrant will not score over 2000 any more (~1850)

Absolutely wrong.

For swype try it on skyfire (web browser) or even the stock browser almost every text box (but not the adress one)

The operation of MobileAP is good.

BluetoothDUN doesn't operate.

It is not possible to connect it with the modem afterwards though it goes well to the Bluetooth connection.

The connection occasionally cuts unstably to USB Tehering.

Moreover, the entire operation slows very much in front of Lagfix in USB Tehering.

With the 3g network, wi fi & gps off in 22 hours the battery is out of juice. In this time i talk 10 min, 10 sms and 1 apps installed. With 2.1 firmware the battery keeps me 2-3 days.

Have you the same issue with battery?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
Yup, same thing here, ~24 hours of usage.

Also everything has become sluggish and I re-flashed today with odin.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] rchawla9:
Also, if you go into Settings>About>Battery Use > Cell Standby.

The standby time is always double of the actual value since unplugged.

Edit: Also, the email response bug is killing me. Need updated Beta soon.

On another note, if using Titanium for 2.2 --> 2.2 restore, it should work right? Anyone from JP2/3 used JPC and did this restore.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Aery:
No Problem with Battery here on two i9000s.

Wifi off, only activated if needed

GPS off, only activated if needed

3G off, 3G network is very bad here (Phone had to switch between 2G and 3G very often)

Brightness 0%, only more if needed (Power Management Widget)

Auto Brightness off

Maybe your battery isn´t empty, only the battery indicator shows empty.

Have you tried resetting battery stats?

May I know how I can get the Vibrant/captivate gps fix?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
I tried it with Navigon and Ndrive through some heavy routing together with a nokia 5800 (garmin + ovi maps) and a garmin nuvi 1600 something, both in city and on the highway.

I really don't know what all the complaints are about, but the SGS is par with the nuvi any day.

GPS isn't perfect indeed, it might put you on a parallel road at times but it happens with all GPS devices and it can very much depend on the map.

Walking precision is quite good too even though you do have to walk a few feet got the device to get your bearings.

As far as I am concerned, the GPS is fixed and if things can be improved, even better. So far I'm happy with it the way it is.

bugs:

1.) contacts edit/add -> subscription (title of email fields) always called "mobilephone"

2.) contacts edit/add -> can't add/edit birthday & aniversary on exchange accounts addressbook

3.) contacts edit/add -> can't add/edit group/category on exchange accounts addressbook

(this bugs on galaxy 2.2.1 rom)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] supercurio:
- GPS issues are fixed

Not at all !

I made a track walking this morning in town and this was the worst my SGS ever produced.

GPS is still crappy as hell, maybe even worse.

But if you don't move at all, "static" GPS is better than previous.

Please do real tests before reporting GPS fixed !!

- radio supports stereo

- radio has RDS (automaticly names stations)

Radio is still MONO

Radio has RDS names and freq change from the beginning.

besides equalizer, the music player has "effect" options

From the beginning.

much higher brightness settings

No change in brightness, but changes in color rendering in videos.

Please, do some work before publishing such crappy and misleading informations !

(fixed GPS, I can't believe you ever wrote this...)

What is the ram on the JPC?

Continue with 326 or is available all the device ram 512MB?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kgk888:
I see it now in the browser. It only does it for the first sentence though. After the first sentence break it resumes its normal capitalization mode.

I can't reproduce it in other apps though, like Memo, Messaging, or GMail. Seems to only happen in text fields within the browser.

That's been an issue with all firmwares, and is something present on not just the Galaxy S, but other devices as well. Has nothing explicitly to do with JPC.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dagrim1:
3xx... Don't think you'll ever have the full 512mb available since part of it will be reserved for graphics adn radio I guess.

@supercurio:

It appeared to me that brightness at auto setting IS indeed brighter (in general use, not in video).

And about GPS, hard to say if it's fixed. That it still doesn't work properly for you doesn't mean issues for others aren't solved. Saw some good results from others (posting their track as well) and it now locks faster and to more sattelites.

Havent had too many problems with GPS to begin with anyway, and it seems to have improved for me as well.

For most firmware locking on or seeing the satellites was not the biggest issue. What remains the biggest problem is that after locking on (even if it takes a minute, like in the older firmware) it remains inaccurate when traveling down a street.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Donald Nice:
- When pressing vol-down there is only Vibrant OR Mute... Normaly it should soften the volume - vibrant - mute. On JPC it it softens the volume - vibrant. No mute, only if u set it in the setting, but then it soften the volume - mute (no vibrant).

Can someone confirm if JIT is enabled? If ~15 mflops (saw it in the original thread) is what we are going to get in linpack WITH JIT enabled, then that just sucks big time! I know JIT will not be optimized to the snapdragon levels, but this is still bad.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Bec07:
I can't test the stereo issue right now but it might depend on both the station and the song that plays.

The brightness setting is lowered when set to auto, but somewhat higher if you set it manually.

The RAM will always fall around 350 as even when you have 2048mb on a PC the OS will still claim ~900. Android needs it's share to run.
