[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
Shortly after getting my Desire I rooted it using the Unrevoked 3 method and replaced the stock UK T-Mobile stock ROM with Open Desire 1.0c. (Froyo with HTC Sense). I also had the phone unlocked to use my Vodafone sim (for my sins!!).

I am using a 16gb memory card partitioned to 14gb FAT32 and 2gb ext3.

Wherever possible I install apps to the memory card using SetInstallLocation or manually moving apps across to the memory card via Settings/Applications/Manage Applications.

I have a lot (and I mean A LOT) of apps installed. Now my phone is reporting that it is running low on memory again.

Is there any way I can either a) increase the amount of available memory for apps OR b) move more apps to the memory card?

I'm relatively new to Android (and the Linux ethos) so I may have missed something when setting up my phone or the memory card.

Any help in resolving my storage issue would be appreciated.

Thanks

Dalvik Cache

Sounds like a cache issue or memory leak. try deleting your Dalvik Cache.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] babblerx:
Thanks for the advice. I've deleted the Dalvik Cache and that has given me back 3 or 4 mb, but I'm still low on memory.

I did see a post a long while ago, where someone described how to trick the phone into thinking it had about 2 or 3gb of free memory (with screenshots to prove it...though they could have been photoshopped I suppose) but I haven't been able to find that post again.

Anybody else got any idea where that post is or any other ideas about how reclaim more phone memory without having to delete apps?

Thanks in advance people :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
First of all, if you are using legacy A2SD or A2SD+ with an EXT partition, there is zero point using setInstallLocation because all you are doing is moving the application from the EXT partition on the SD card, to the FAT32 partition on the SD card!

If you are using legacy A2SD (not A2SD+), you can also moving the dalvik cache to the EXT partition using A2SD+.

Alternatively, if you are using Froyo A2SD, you can try using fusecompress to compress your dalvik cache, by following the advice in this thread. I've been trying this out for a few days now, and it works like a charm and returned about 22MB of space.

Dave

I have been reading for days on how to install Android on my HTC HD2. Everywhere I read I see that I have to have 1.42 rom on here to be able to get the HSPL on my phone. I cannot figure out how to do this. Where do I find the rom and how do I put it on the phone????? Everything is so technical and I cannot understand. :(

[Captivate General] Hydrocharged:
Beautiful review!
[Captivate General] jaseone:
The one thing I was most worried about with switching to a Captivate from an iPhone 3GS was the GPS issue as my Apple touting friends were poking fun at me and wishing good luck with getting a GPS fix to check in to venues etc but I haven't had a single issue at least as far as check ins go. I rarely if ever use turn by turn directions, which I could see being an issue if I did.

Overall I'm extremely happy with my Captivate, Android and it's flexibility with customization is a breath of fresh air over iOS! Even with jailbreaking iOS just seemed to be really lacking with quality customizations, sure there were widgets you could add to the lock screen etc but none of it seemed very polished even though there were commercial apps for it.

The only thing I would change about the Captivate would be to add a LED flash for the camera for those random indoor/evening snapshots and it baffles me as to why Samsung left that out, otherwise it would be close to perfect. A front facing cam would have been nice to have as well but I really think those more belong on tablets at the moment than phones, I don't really see myself making video calls when on the go but rather places where I would have a tablet handy.

Correction, two things I would change... The other would be the addition of a physical home button, I'm still getting used to hunting for the touch buttons at the bottom and often hit the wrong one still. It did help once I installed WidgetLocker though so I can press the volume buttons to wake as well as the power button as hunting for the power button was also a bit hit & miss.

The jury is still out on battery life especially as I have been constantly playing with it during to it being a shiny new toy so I will wait to see what real world usage is like.
[Captivate General] Divinedark:
I hear you on the customization. I am flipping between Launcher Pro and ADW Launcher right now, and it's nice to be able to change things up on a whim. Also, the different keyboards (SWYPE is amazing) also give a nice change of pace.

I don't really care about the flash, really. My I4's flash pissed me off more often than not. When the flash would go off it would cause everything that I was photographing to look like a mug shot. I never really needed a flash with my long history of iPhones, and I guess not having one on any of my phones just made it easy to not notice it missing.
[Captivate General] Divinedark:
Okay... After spending most of the day before yesterday getting myself all revved up to return my Captivate and show Samsung that their time table was unacceptable by going back to my iPhone 4, I would like to say that I am now once again back on the Captivate, and am shockingly more relaxed than I have been for the last 48 hours. That was the shortest lived, most misguided tantrum that I've thrown in recent memory... I just couldn't do it. The Captivate is, with all it's little flaws, an amazing phone that is really hard to step away from. To add insult to my little snap decision, my iPhone has a massive proximity sensor issue. I was face dialing through most of my conference calls today.

Sad... But anyway. Have a laugh at my expense. My wife asked if I was having some trouble with commitment. I had to remind her that I asked her to marry me... It's just with phones that I have a problem.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hatman41:
I am not any good at using Photo Shop or GIMP. I am trying to get 3 files changed from green to blue. I am not a themer. I just ported a theme to SkyRaider 3.1 RC3 but there are three files that were not blue in the theme that I ported. If someone could take the file below and make the three green .png files blue I would greatly appreciate it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
How did you root your phone?

Does it have 2.2 on it?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] eldorado 21:
Some one else did the rooting, so I don't really know.

under software number it shows 2.2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
Well, not knowing how it was rooted could be the cause of your problem with the camera.

There are a number of radio updates that cause problems with the camera that are not present in later releases of 2.2.

It is possible that your used phone has one of those on it which is causing you the problems with the camera.

I would go back to the person who rooted the phone and find out the details as that most likely will provide you with the answers and that will help you fix the problem.

I heard somewhere nfl network is gonna be on verizon this season. Anybody heard anything? if so i wonder if the verizon version of the nfl app will be blocked like sprints
[EVO 4G General] daewond3r:
I've recently been having problems with some of my text messages not making it to my phone. Some get through, some don't. I spent nearly 40 minutes the other day with "tech support" (30 of them spent talking to an Android 'specialist'). In the end, I was told that they didn't know why some were getting through and some weren't. They pointed the finger at my friends who are texting saying the problem might be on their end (my gf is on T-Mo as well and we skyped so she could show me the 'sent successful' msgs on her BB 9700). The real kicker was when the specialist told me that I should delete my texts every day because "Android devices can't really handle holding more than 40-50 msgs at a time before it causes problems for the handset and the software." SMH.

Anyway, I've been playing around with a friend's Evo lately and I really like it. It's got me thinking of a possible switch to Sprint if this text issue keeps popping up and T-Mo keeps giving me BS answers.

I guess I just want to ask:

1. Any recent converts from T-Mo? How do you like Sprint so far?

2. Any experience issues similar to the one I'm having?

3. Any issues at all with the Evo or service in the LA area?

My friend said he's been with Sprint for about 10 years now, and I asked how customer service was. He said "I don't know, I've never really needed to talk to them." Seemed like a good sign to me.

Thanks XDA Evo heads!
[EVO 4G General] guitarjockey:
I was on tmo before I switched to Sprint when I started working for them. Honestly on not working at sprint anymore and I'm still on it and got my fiance on it and we have a joint account. Sprint is amazing and I love it and I would never look back. Plus you could probably get a discount from where you work which helps. Customer service isn't bad if you have to call them. I've called them and if they can't help tu they usually offer some kinda something to take away the blow.
[EVO 4G General] starplaya93:
i was in the same boat... i forced tmo to let me out of my contract b,c of similar problems, including weak signal strength and dropped calls....

I am having better signal strength and less dropped calls/ unreceived messages but not as good as I was expecting...

The biggest difference I noticed is that Tmobile customer support is miles beyond Sprints.

Sprint has the worst customer service that I have seen in a while.

The reps are dumb, disrespectful, dumb, don't care....dumb....
[EVO 4G General] jasonleb1:
Not exactly what you asked for but I switched from AT&T to Sprint about 2 months ago for the Evo. I love the Evo..... but Sprint sucks ass. At least here in Central Florida, Sprint is the worst service you can have (AT&T is the best) I sometimes get calls and text 3 or 4 days late. I'm in the process of deciding if my Evo is good enough to stick it out or if switching back to AT&T is worth paying the higher prices.

Yes its true on some of the older Android OS there was some issues with alot of txt msgs my hero practically shut down when i hit 2000 txt msgs it wouldnt load them or receive any txt msgs.

as I recall just randomly not receiving them tho etc was resolved with a hard reset of the device.
[EVO 4G General] driguez:
Weird, I switched from ATT and I had the problems u are describing, however the problems were w ATT, maybe it was the iPhone but service sucked, dropped calls, slow 3G speeds, customer service wqs bad, etc. I'm in central FL btw. As far as Tmo I got to admit they got pretty good customer service, can't really complain about sprints either. Service has been great as well, no dropped calls in 2+ months and great 3G/4G speeds. If pricing is a factor, Sprint has it covered. Check coverage in your area and see if you got good coverage, other than that o don't see why you couldn't switch and be happy w Sprint.
[EVO 4G General] Brutal-Force:
I agree here. However, what an above poster said. T-mo has better customer support. I was with T-mo for almost 10 years and recently switched over when the EVO came out because T-mo couldn't tell me when their next Android Device was coming out, and the only rumors were of the GPS phone which looked attrocious. The Nexus was available, but only for new plan holders and the price was rediculous, not to mention it was already getting long in the tooth. I love the EVO, and 6Mbps down on my 4G is great (when I get a strong 4G signal). I am not impressed with 3g as I never seem to get over 600kbps and I do not like the fact that I can't use Data and Phone at the same time on just 3g.

Otherwise, Sprint's plan is better despite the infamous "$10" fee, unless you primarily make phone calls to land lines. I got a bonus 450 min. on top of the 450 min. with the unlimited plan for land line calls and I rarely use 100 min. Otherwise they really are unlimited in the Data side.

I hope this helps in your decision. Good luck.
[EVO 4G General] felacio:
I've gone through most every cell provider in my state. T-Mobile, ATT, Cingular (basically same thing) Virgin, verizon, Cricket.

Cingular was by far the worst. Tons of missing.txts and dropped calls.

Then went to Tmobile. Loved Tmobile. Not a huge calling area at the time. But still great service.

Then to ATT for the iPhone. Loved iphone. Still didn't like att. Than I came to sprint foe the EVO. and so far its pretty good. Pricing is nice, even with the 10 extra for 4G.

...in 1943, I killed a drifter.
[EVO 4G General] lehalter:
I went from T-Mo to Sprint about two months ago, it was a great move. Better prices, able to do things in the shop. T-Mo forced my hand because they would not let me back into a contract and would not work with me on phones. I was very disappointed with T-Mo and how they handled me, especially because I had been with them for seven years. I have the Evo now.
[EVO 4G General] im0rtalz:
If you are coming to sprint make sure you look into getting the Everything Plus plans to save some money.

My second phone line didn't have data (couldn't afford data on the second cause my bill was already 185 so my poor daughter had to go dataless on her g1), but I had unlimited talk and text on both. I switched to Sprint and now have 3g data on both lines among the unlimited everything else and I save about 30/month. Im only mad at myself for not making the switch months before. Have you ever used an Android phone on G speed data? OMG
[EVO 4G General] xflamez:
I just literally switched from Sprint to T-mobile

I have to say I love sprint!!! But I switched cuz my contract was over and my gf is still in contract with t-mo...sprint owns with the plan...I also had the everything plus 500 plan for only $59.99...love the mobile to any carrier mobile...but no one I know uses sprint..so sad

Tmo isn't too bad right now, but their reception ain't on sprint's level
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
Your texting issue seems like a freak kind of thing.

Personally, TMO ain't looking that bad depending on where you are. The G2 looks seriously nice. It lacks a FF cam (but at this point it's a non issue since there's no killer video chat app on Android right now) and the screen is smaller but still okay. Aside from that, it's got a 45nm CPU (+ battery life) and a killer GPU. The hardware keyboard (which I prefer as a email power user) looks nice and it runs stock Android which is a MAJOR plus to me. Then you have the fact that it's a HSPA+ device, so it'll probably have faster speeds than Sprint's WiMax if you're in a HSPA+ area.

If you're in a good area, I'd def' recommend sticking with TMO and getting the G2 (or maybe even waiting to see the other rumored HTC device to be revealed).
