Its Media Player. exe not closing!

I was wondering when the first people come up with this problem! I found that this is (at least in my case!) the mediaPlayer.exe that is EATING UP all available (little that is!!!) RAM.

When I have a song play, perhaps a few minutes, nothing bad happens, after closing media player for good, still 80MB RAM left.

But, when I listen for a while to music (using media player NOT slide view!) then after half an hour or 1 hour, I have only 3-5MB left. Yes, 3 to 5 MB!!! In this case, even after closing for good media player, NO RAM is returned! I have only 3-5MB available RAM. And of course that is not enough to run the Camera!

Unless we find a program that can kill the mediaplayer.exe for good and that will indeed return that memory, we have no other option but a restart!

;)
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Camera Video Choppy too!

And now since I made a first video... or better tried to make it with this crappy phone/camera, I found that the recorded video is choppy, it seems to hang when the camera is moved or objects move.

Really bad. Anybody found a reg tweak to perhaps fix this or make it at least better? This is NO WAY 30fps, not even 20!

Memory manager

Have you tried e.g. MemMaid from DinarSoft?

I have had trial version installed once, looked fine. But there seems to be u lot of similar tools. I just never needed any as badly as you do.
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Well, actuall I think this is caused by Slide|View. Because I was fed up with this crap, I did a hard reset and stoped the custom install. I installed all I wanted/needed Manually!

And of course I did NOT install TileWave, SlideView and any other crap panel, exept the Growing Panel (just to brag a little ;-)

Now, media player does not take even 10MB and all is well. While playing music I can make pictues even.

So far all is well. The only thing bothering me now is, every other day a message pops up either wanting to send a SMS to register my phone, or a customer survey from microsucks.

If anybody knows HOW to stop it without actually doing it, please let us know. ;)
[XPERIA X2 General] doministry:
That's strange because I think it's actually Media Player itself.

Since latest FW I use TileWave and Slide View, uninstalled the rest of the flashy panels (City, Growing, SPB) and never had any problem with running camera.

I listen to alot of music but always from SlideView, no RAM problems here....

BTW if you want to kill any process, SKTools does it.
[XPERIA X2 General] Xareth:
Just wanted to share my experience on this: I remember choosing cancel and it would stop. Did you press any hardware buttons instead or the X button on the window?
[XPERIA X2 General] michaelthemage:
Camera did not start.... again!

Well, I found the registry setting for these crappy sms sending msgs. Now its gone!

BUT, today I still had 110MB left and the camera did the 'cannot start' crap. Just did not start, whatever I did.

Had to restart the entire phone in order to get it startup again. So I guess it is not the memory shrotage that seemed to have caused it before.

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] Serris:
I've been wanting to ask this question quite for some time but I always forgot. I have been using capychimp's capyslide for the past day, previously I was on offical rogers. I found that games have about 6-10 fps more in capyslide.

Some games actually become playable with capyslide.

So my question si why is that? Are the capyslide display drivers better optimized?

And, if we could implement this in other roms? Is there any chance to get somehow even more fps?

And just for example:

Offical rogers: Neocore: 20-24 fps, Quake 2: 4-7 fps, Quadrant 2D: 176 3D: 218

Capyslide: Neocore: 28-30 fps, Quake 2: 8-14fps, Quadrant 2D: 260 3D: 239
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
good question :) I think i know the awnser there is a app wich consumes batttery and is anoying, the cyanbot (something like that , has a blue icon) Is always running at 4% CPU speed, diference must come from that i guess. I deleted it my phone was great :D
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
So I'm getting worked up to do the apps to sd, got SDK installed on my PC. I have ROM manager installed and was on the edge of partitioning the SD card. Not knowing what I would lose if I did the partition (it wipes and formats the SD), I took a spare 2GB and cleaned it out. Empty. I powered off the Aria and installed the clean 2GB chip, powered up, and played with a few apps for a few minutes. I see no negative effects, in fact I see better performance. Assumed, anyway, in that my task killer shows more RAM available after a kill. The ignore list didn't change, so that is obviously in the Aria.

After tooling around, I checked the SD card using estrongs file explorer. Really nothing got added to the SD card.

I have followed this (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uVU8vQVKo6I) tutorial on the SDK ADB driver install...no luck. Windows could not find the driver. When I type "adb devices" I get no devices listed. Also, when I connected the Aria, and manually pointed the search to the "usb_driver" folder, it came up empty. I am in charge only and debugging is selected. (And rooted using Liberated R003)

Since I will need to use ADB in step 5 of http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=723483 I am stuck. At least I can pass the time by pulling out my hair wondering if the apps to sd is really worth it.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
So I have messed with this a few times in the past two weeks and still no progress. I connect the Aria and no drivers found. I launch cmd and when I type ADB, I get android debug bridge 1.0.26. When I type ADB devices I get 'list of devices attached' but none are shown. I am in charge only and debugging is on. I type ADB shell and I get 'device not found.'

Apps to SD is a popular topic here, so can anyone help me figure out what I'm doing wrong or what I am missing? My internal storage is near max and need to do this.

Running liberated R010.
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
Install HTC Sync. It includes USB drivers in the install. After it's installed just make sure it's not running. Then go through all the steps of connecting the phone and doing the "adb devices" command.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
Will this HTC sync force any updates that would make changes to my ROM or root status?
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
No, it won't. Just make sure it's not running anyway (you could even uninstall it if afterwards if you want.) You're simply installing it for the USB drivers that are piggy-backed on the install.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
I tried at least 3 installs of this HTC Sync and I am getting failures. HTC BMP USB Drivers install failure. I continued installation anyway. Hope that isn't what I needed.

Edit: launched Sync, selected Sync on the device. Aria says umable to find HTC sync on the PC. (But I got the desktop shortcut and Sync launched, which says "No device connected.") I deselected debugging and reconnected, prompted me to find drivers, which weren't found.
[HTC Aria General] duckredbeard:
Progress! At least in that I had a successful HTC sync install on my 32 bit Vista notebook....more update later.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
Hi there,

I wonder if anyone can help.

95% of FroYo / HTC Sense ROMs I've tested always initially give me a problem adding an extra GMail account to the handset.

The symptoms are either that Mail refused to auto-sync, or that I can't enable GMail at all (no option on the sync screen).

Sometimes I get round it with a combination of clearing GMail, Contacts & Calendar storage and removing / re-adding the account. I've not come up with a definitive method of doing this though.

I'm currently on a AOSP ROM, looking to go back to a Sense based one. I tried 2 ROMs last night and couldn't get the mail to work so I've NANDROID restored in the hope that I can find a solution before flashing again.

Does anyone have a definitive method of making my phone work with 2 GMail accounts that auto sync?

Cheers,

B
[Desire General] EddyOS:
That's because it's a known issue in Gmail appart from the new 2.2.1 version...without updating to that it'll never sync the extra accounts. It's well documented and the new 2.10.405.2 OTA update fixes this.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
Cheers Eddy.

Are any ROMs out based on the new OTA update? Or is this update not out yet?

I have managed to get it working every now and again, I'm just never 100% on the steps I took to make it happen!
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Update is out now, I'm on it but I don't use more than one Gmail account on my Desire...there are ROMs in the Dev forum that are based on it so assume they have it working so go look there
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
Would make sense as to why MoDaCo r8 didn't work yesterday. It's based on 2.09.x. Cheers for your help.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
It is BUT it's got the option for the new GMail app in the kitchen (I think)...I'll try tonight with another of my GMail account and see what happens
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
I had a look. R9 has the new GMail. I'm going to grab that tonight.
[Desire General] Mr Brainz:
An update - MoDaCo R9 STILL had the problem. I tried NeoPhyTe's AuraxTSense and happy days - I have Gmail sync again.

Mustard.

I missed Sense a lot when using OpenDesire. It's a real dealbreaker!

I have a TP2 with energy ROM, my plan doesn't provide GPS so if I accidentaly turn it on i will pay. So how do I get rid of it?

thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ronh:
Your GPS doesn't connect, it only receives GPS signal.

So you don't have to be scared to pay for that.

Maybe you mean GPRS, or other internet connection?

You can turn them of with Modaco NoData.

Notice that it doesn't break existing connections, so if you have an open connection, you have to break it, ie by a softreset.

After that no connection will be possible, untill you turn it on yourself.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
GPS isn't a paid service. Your phone can receive signals from the satellites at no fee (which will tell you the current latitude, longitude, and altitude). If you use some type of mapping or nav program that uses an internet connection, like Google Maps or Bing, then the internet data downloaded will incur a fee. Or some carriers, like ATT, have their own navigation service that incurs a monthly fee. But if you are using Energy ROM, that software is not pre-installed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] memset:
ok, now I get it. sorry for my noob question and thank you for the responses. (I really thought you had to pay for the GPS :D)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
You've already paid for GPS. The satellites are mostly military, paid for by your tax dollars.

[Milestone XT720 General] lovecraft:
My wife's complaining that her X720 usually heats up and sometimes runs out of battery while she's at work. Since I'm not there I don't know exactly what is happening, but on inspection when she's back home, I can see that main battery usage was over 40% on

Cell standby. And she's not using the phone to make or receive calls all the time.

Is it possible that due to bad reception in her office area, the phone is constantly trying to go to 3G and then back to 2G, therefore using more power?

I guess if this is the case, the only solution would be set the phone to 2G only while she's on the office, or is there something else that can be done?
[Milestone XT720 General] Beako:
I have that problem with my phone too. It happens randomly after calling someone. I wish I knew how to fix it permanently, but my temporary fix is to shut the phone off and restart it.
[Milestone XT720 General] hungtd2:
Do ya using apps2sd for that mobile

When i used app2sd for my xt720, and the sd card have problem ( that time i didnot know) the battery drain very fast ...

100% > 40% after one night.

After I reformat and found one bad sector in sd card, i replace with new one and for now it's ok

You can try to run without the sd card or refomat the sd card

[Milestone XT720 General] surfdday:
I've got a friend that has this heat problem too . Does it still happens after the most recent firmware upgrade (the one that ups the CPU to 720MHz)? It may be the 3G radio got stucked at a high gain after a call.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
My xt720 has ran hot since I've got it. Only when I use it for extended periods. Usually at around 80 to 90 Fahrenheit highest I've seen it 108, I dont think its very good for the phone.

After the rom upgrade my xt 720 does not become hot any more.
[Milestone XT720 General] easye420:
I'm in the US so my phone came with the upgrade. Is it just the xt720 that gets hot or do other android phones get hot? And does anyone know wat a dangerous temp is for a phone?

What ROM upgrade? Is there a ROM upgrade anywhere?
[Milestone XT720 General] vagelisda:
Thats the way it is bro...

Its a milestone thing...

But if you use it in 2g mode,it will be cold and the battery life,will go 3 times more.

Hi

I've been reading all that i've could find about no ringtones etc. when running android and it doesnt help copying in the media folder with the tones into the sd card or android root.

Ive tried 8 different android builds now and only one with working ringtones but then wifi, 3g and a lot of other stuff didnt work..

So - what can i try to do to get the tones to work?

Its a unbranded hd2 (danish) with Energy Cookie Rom (i'll try the latest energy rom now) and the radio is 2.50.12
