For the most part I have read that the replacement phones are not harware locked. The few that come back that are hareware locked are the exception to the norm. Is this true from those of you who have gotten a replacement phone?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nickarus:
Hey there! First post and maybe I get to help someone?

I haven't replaced my phone yet, but it started out unlocked and ended up hardware locked after rooting using the OCLF V2+ and then un-rooting by reversing the procedure (was in a panic regarding the OTA update).

Not sure if that's an "unintended feature" or just something boneheaded I did, but I don't think it had anything to do with the JI6 update as I haven't seen any notifications yet - seem to still be JFD.

I found out I was hardware locked when I tried to re-root again later in hopes of making a backup should catastrophe strike OTA. Resumed panic mode until I found this thread: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802763&page=2

The files posted by untermensch there reportedly resolve a hardware lock.

I was trying figuring out how to actually use these files in the stickies when I stumbled across this alternate method of rooting, and opted to try it out first. Easy-peasy: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786877

So now I'm rooted and was able to perform a nandroid backup :), though I checked and I'm still hardware-locked... I reckon if the day comes I want to fix that for some other purpose I'll sleep easy knowing that method linked above is there to fall back on.

[EDIT]: apologies for the formatting above... evidently I'm not permitted to post links to within the forums yet :(

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] allthrottle:
I just swapped my sim and sd to my replacement phone. It is definitely not hardware locked.

The only thing different I've noticed is the sticker underneath the battery cover looks different than the one on my original vibrant. It looks sort of generic. I remember the original having a samsung graphic on it, where as this looks very plain, with just a minimal amount of text on it.

It did get the ota software update minutes after I swapped over. Runs decent.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nomadrider123:
cool good to know I have read some ppl have had problems running the hardware fix. It would be nice to have a excape plan lol. Is there any way to tell if that one was refurbished I only ask because you brought up the sticker issue. Either way it is a lot better than my bricked phone :p

I have the Vibrant with firmware JI5 root it and try different way to get JI6 with Odin but it did not work for me from the beginner, is another easy way to have the JI6 or go back to stock firmware, the kie mini did not work with JI5 firmware.

Also T-mobile support people they do not know how to fix this problem. They are retard.

PLEASE HELP....
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
So, they are are retards because they can't assist in helping you upgrade your phone from an unsupported firmware version? If you yet still upgraded after TMO issue the warning about JI5, then that was even more unwise.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
EDIT - I'm still getting low space now at 339MB free...I've never gotten it this low before though. Wonder what the issue is now?

So I've been a victim of this problem like many people and I did something counter-intuitive that ended up finding the solution. I remembered I never had a problem before Froyo and how people had this issue at varying storage levels. Taking a wild guess, I moved any and ALL apps that were on the SD card back to the phone.

Yes makes no sense right? Well guess what, it works!! It seems the Froyo build we have on our phones (I'm running Stock 2.2) has some nasty bug in App2SD that causes this issue. Want proof?

I was always getting the error at around 430-450MB free recently. Randomly of course.

Now? after moving all SD apps back to phone I'm down to 345MB with no issue. I even installed Fennec (was always a hassle before) straight on phone and ran it without getting the notification!!!

Hallelujah - this issue was pissing me off but I'm glad there's a solution that's this simple.

I recommend the following steps:

1. Make sure you aren't getting the low on space notification now

2. Go to Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> SD Card tab

3. GO into any and each app you have on SD card and hit Move to Phone

4. Verify the SD card tab is empty

You should be good to go. Enjoy!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilehavoc:
So I found the problem according to Root Explorer the /data/data directory where apps store data is only sized to 150MB. I currently have 132 used and 17MB free. meanwhile the /data/app directory is what the phone reports which for me is 345. So basically I can continue installing apps as long as they don't use up the space in /data/data
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GrimVII:
How i got rid of that damn annoyance was i just downloaded cachemate and that seeemed to do it. I have cachemate do a clear daily and i haven't seen that little symbol since.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] smt0222:
Bingo?!

Wow... this is the first I've heard of it and it makes sense... great find! It makes getting the darn "low space" notification easier to take knowing WHAT was causing it (not the lack of space on the 748MB internal which frustrated many of us, just the 150MB partition)...

Now, how do you move stuff from data/data or increase the partition of data/data....
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rushless:
Actually, it appears more to do with displacement. I have tried several roms on both 2.1 and 2.2 and started fresh with all of them.

The ceiling appears to be about 500mb total. It seems to not matter where the weight of apps is. Example with 500mb of apps:

1. 380mb on device and 120mb of apps on sd = low on space

2. 500mb on device and 0mb on sd = low on space

Displacement also explains why the "low on space" error tends to happen at about 500mb on 2.1, since no apps2sd to displace the total, but the ceiling "moved" downward on 2.2 (displacement due to apps2sd).

Apps2sd is a placebo on the Incredible and to make matters worse, you can not even use the 748mb it supposed to have even without apps2sd.

Almost seems like 512mb was allocated, even though the OS shows 748 in the firmware. I think the 748 is as fake as apps2sd is on the Incredible.

Data downloads for games like Quake, Nova and Let's Golf are not a problem, since not part of the contained and installed apk- data downloaded to sd is treated as external data and not part of the total size of the app in Android.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Smabbage:
What we need is a way to increase the size of the data/data partition, even if it means taking it from general pool of available RAM. I'm at 15.9 MB free and if it dips below 15 I get the message. 133.10 MB used, 15.9 MB free, I'm running out of room fast. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
Reviving this. It's definitely /data/data.15mb or less, low space error every time. There must be some way to specify a larger partition for /data/data?

I'm finally getting around to applying the November OTA and I was just about to start a thread asking if it fixed this...guess not :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wishka233:
I used to have this problem all the time until I deleted Google Earth. Not 100% sure this is the fix but I haven't gotten the message since.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
I don't even have Google earth installed and I get the error. Google earth probably caches a lot of info to /data/data. Anyone can verify this issue easily if you are getting the error. Get root explorer, go into /data/data and you will see that you have less than 15 MB of the 150 MB partition available. As soon as you get below 15 MB it gives the error. Go into applications and delete the data of a couple apps, get that number above 15 and *poof*, error goes away.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
Wow, thank you for this! I went through every app and deleted all of the data over a megabyte, and now I have 30 MB left in data/data. The error is gone, but I where is the rest of the 120 MB in data/data? I would like to delete more so I can install some more apps (some apps just really fill up the data/data folder for some reason).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hexen525:
I had this issue BAD when I first got my phone. Had to keep resetting my phone to factory. Couldn't figure hat the issue was. I have plenty of space left, only a couple apps installed. Wasn't allowed to install more apps from the Marketplace or anything as my phone thought it was out of space.

Found out the stock Mail client was sucking up over 120MB of space and had hit the limit the phone would allow. Stopped using the stock Mail app and got MailDroid (free version from Marketplace). Never had that issue again!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
What we need is for someone to tell us how to change the partition size, OR how to make /data/data part of the same partition apps install to.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cheesejam:
How/where would I enter that code^? I am a noob at this sort of stuff, but would really like to find out what is taking up the most data in my data/data folder. Thanks! :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rigman:
If you're rooted try out beta app NotEnoughSpace (nexus.zteo.com/projects/beta/). It's specifically designed to address the data/data space limitation.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bast525:
Agreed, very helpful app. Doesn't quite solve the problem on its own, moving .lib files or some of the other real space hogs breaks apps, but moving databases doesn't seem to cause issues so far... I freed up a few megs.

Where the app really came in handy was showing me which apps were eating up all that space.... Gameloft games HANDS DOWN are the biggest trouble makers, averaging 5-10 megs in /data/data PER GAME. I uninstalled two games and freed up 20 megs

In all of my searching, this has been one of the few threads to get to the heart of the matter. Thank you all for that! It seems like most other Incredible owners are continually battling this notification by deleting programs, moving programs TO the SD card (if only they knew), and other temporary/indirect fixes.

I have some more questions, because I would like to upgrade to the HTC Thunderbolt if HTC has properly addressed the issue:

1. Has HTC admitted that this is a problem yet, and are they trying to fix it?

2. Are any of the other HTC phones afflicted with this ridiculous issue?

3. After the HTC Thunderbolt is unveiled on Thursday at CES, should we be able to tell from the specs whether or not it will be affected?

The fist few threads in the General forum explain everything you need to know, and pretty much every build has individual instructions.

Simple answer in there is no 'best android'. Each build will suit everyone differently. Look at the features of each one a pick one you think will suit. You'll probably need to flash a new radio and ROM before hand... spend some time reading and try to get familiar with the whole process.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cubibubi:
Hey,

I got the MOTOROLA FLIPOUT, but I think that this might be of importance to all Android users (with phones that have a physical keyboard):

When slide out the keyboard (or flip out, in my case), the screen unlocks. Very good. But it does not lock back again when you close it. That is of course wanted for some people, maybe the majority, maybe not, but I think that you should have at least the possibility to choose that when you slide the keyboard back into the phone, it locks. That would be extremely handy if all you want to do is a quick check of something (new mails, sms, etc.), and then put the phone back into your pocket, without the need to find and press the power button.

This is what you can essentially do with folding phones, like the Motorola RAZR, and thousands of others. You quickly flip open the phone, have a quick glance, then close it back again, all in 2 seconds if you're good.

So essentially, what I wanted to know is:

Is there a feature already built-in I'm missing, is there an app, free or paid, or is there a hack that would allow me to have the phone automatically locked when the keyboard in slid back in?

Thanks in advance!
