[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
Hi all,

I have as strange issue in regards to apps on the SD card. I'm rooted, S-off on 3.29 stock. I installed installLocationMod, which enabled me to move any apps, even those not necessarily programmed, to be moved on 2.2 to the SD card. I basically moved everything that's not system, gapp, or widget related.

Everything works great, until I have to reboot, or I attach the phone to a PC as a hard drive. Basically, the apps don't come back after the phone comes back up, or its disconnected from the PC. I have to spend many hours doing reboots, battery pulls, dalvic cache wipes, etc, and then seemingly randomly, they pop back up.

When they're missing in the app list, the settings / app manager shows that they're there, but they're always "computing" when I select one to read the properties. Also, the market installer gets stuck, and I can't uninstall anything either.

Recently, I've read threads about partitioning the card before moving apps to SD.. is that still necessary with 2.2? Is that why this is such a pain? I'm thinking maybe the only solution is to move everything back to where they came from, and only move those apps that are specifically programmed to be moved on a non-rooted phone, and get rid of the modlocationinstall program altogether. That's a drag because I don't have room for all the apps, so I'll have to lose some... which is one of the reasons I rooted to begin with.

Any ideas? BTW, this is the second SD card that does this. The card is good.

Thanks,

Mike

Hey, I found this elsewhere on the forums in the LimeMOD rom in regards to mod install location:

"important !!! after a reboot you need to stop LauncherPro in the running applications menu to reload all sd installed apps !!! "

Could Sense be the reason for the missing apps issue? Is there a way to 'postpone' it on reboot?

Thx,

Mike
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] futuristicstyles:
I've been having ever same problem
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
I'm thinking I might try stopping the Sense service after the reboot and letting it restart and see if they come back. I'll try it if I have to reboot again.. I'm actually avoiding rebooting at all cost now since it takes hours of frustration to get back to working order again.

Another thing I noticed.. alot of programs have that I moved have hidden services that are listed in a start-up auditor I installed just to see what the system was doing on boot up. I originally thought I'd be safe moving them since I didn't have widgets associated with them, or they didn't seem system related. Now I'm beginning to realize that I might have to be more careful what is moved, since I don't always know how they'll behave on boot. I suppose that's another reason why its best for non-techies just to rely on devs to build the default 2.2 a2sd behaviour into their programs, rather than forcing them there with stuff like mod install location.

Oh well... I'll keep you all updated when I know more. I'm rather surprised though, that more people aren't experiencing this...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
Restarting Sense doesn't do anything. It seems still to be completely random.. usually after 4 or 5 hours of me continually manual rebooting. Nobody has any input at all?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
update:

After several unsuccessful reboots, I was able to get back the apps by going into settings / phone storage and unmounting the card, and remounting it, with no reboot. I've tried that in the past and just had the phone lock up, but this time it worked. FWIW, modinstalllocation was set to auto, and debug was off. I don't know if its repeatable, since I don't relish having half my phone unavailable for half the day to test it, but next time I lose everyting, I'll try it again and update the thread. I realize that judging from the lack of responses, most of you all don't really care, but since one guy did say he had the same problem, and to prevent someone in the future from going through all this aggravation, I'll keep on top of this. It will be my little contribution to the forum... :)

UPDATE: Had to finally do a reboot, and all the SD apps came back! I'm thinking the card dismount/remount did the trick

Titanium takes forever just to uninstall one app for me.

How do you do it using ADB or Terminal?

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
2.1 seems a bit buggy at the moment so may just have been that.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] saltorio:
I've been freezing the apps I'm thinking of getting rid of to ensure removing them won't cause problems. If I don't run into any issues over a few days, I'll wipe em.

Might be a nice idea to get a list of what apps can and can't be deleted in 2.1 though.

[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] tookieboy:
i had this problem. but i found the solution to be:

after rooting, uncheck debugging, reload titanium (use builtin app function), enable debugging again.

is anyone using HANDCENT SMS over the STOCK SMS application that comes with SENSE and ANDROID on the EVO? I am testing it out and its pretty cool! is there any reason not to use it? does it drain battery???
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gatordon:
Been using Handcent for months now over the stock messenger & it's a go

Swyped by Gator_don & his Evo
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] prodigy18:
I prefer handscent over stock app any day. Best part for me is that it pops up messages over the lock screen and lets you reply with out unlocking the phone.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] greg.dassing:
I've been using Handcent since the Hero came out and had that massive battery drain issue with the stock message system that kept the cpu at 100% without letting it sleep...the first thing I downloaded when I got my EVO was Handcent! I love it!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I've always used and loved Handcent.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] NewZJ:
I used for a while with hero then evo, dropped it a month ago and get better battery lifr since, its a great program but in my evo it drains more battery than stock and I guess I just got used to stock again. miui messenger rocks too

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] forrie1:
Well, I installed it and used it for a day and then could not figure out which combination of settings would keep the stock messaging app from popping up notifications in addition to the handcent notifications. clearing all the text notifications from not one but TWO apps got on my nerves in a hurry.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] operadragon:
Simply disable notifications in Messages and you only have Handcent's popping up.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tarheelsmj12001:
Is anyone else experiencing any lag with handcent?? Takes forever for the message to pop up on the screen n takes even longer for it to notify me once the message does pop up. The last few updates seem to have messed it up. Ive tried to uninstall n reinstalled but that hasnt worked. N on top of that, the stock messaging app doesnt work at all. I will never get any texts and sent texts will not go thro. So im stuck with handcent i guess for now.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] l2icky:
You have to keep the messaging app, if you delete it/uninstall it, it will cause handcent to have those issues.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] jerrygon:
Correct but there is not way of using the google voice with any other messaging app. Only the google voice app itself. It would be great if you can integrate it with your messaging app and only need to use one. That would be sweeeeeeeet.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] blkout01:
You simply open the stock app and go in to settings. From settings turn off all notifications. This stops the stock app from popping up and having 2 different apps telling you about your messages.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] tarheelsmj12001:
I never uninstalled the stock messaging app. After they updated handcent is when i got all this lag.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] ailima:
Same problem with handcent here.

Frustrating.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] JasonK75:
Same here!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] michaelvibe:
The only thing that bothers me with handcent is the inability to theme the popup window that they give you when you get a new message. If I could theme that it would be perfect.

I tried the listed instructions with little success. Then I tried the "warm start" selection and get very quick locks with more satellites in use than ever before. Ill try navigation and see what happens with continuous use.
[Fascinate Android Development] NOsquid:
Yeah, just keep testing for yourself. The problem allegedly is one of improper caching so the warm start may end up screwing you - see satellites but not lock. The cold start may take a little longer, and you need 3g.

Allegedly :)
[Fascinate Android Development] RacerXFD:
I don't know if this is relevant, but there is an app called gps booster that really works in less than ten seconds to acquire a lock on gps. You may want to check it out...

It's legit because algorithms are used to estimate gps satellite locations.

Hi,

Im thinking of debranding my vodafone branded x10i. I brought my x10 second hand. It was originally vodafone, But it looks like the previous owner had it sim unlocked. Which im now using o2 sim in it.

What i would like to know is that, if i debrand it. Will the phone wont re-lock??

In the service menu it says:

[] Network 5

[] Network subset 5

[] Service provider 5

[] Corporate 5

[] Sim 0

What does this mean?

The reason im asking is because, I debranded a old SE phone, and it re- locked the sim, which i had to pay again to get unlocked

Any help would be much appreciated

Innocell 3000mAh Extended Life Battery

It has been quite some time now since this was announced, is anyone else as anxious as I am? Hopefully when it is released we will start seeing different battery covers coming out. Just thought I would get some other people's input.
[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
I couldn't care less. I get 24+ hours on my battery now, with chargers in everyplace I frequent throughout the day and a spare charger in my laptop bag for those emergency moments.
[Epic 4G Accessories] bagelicious:
I seriously doubt you really use your phone very much. The only time I got 24 hours out of my battery was when it sat unused an entire day.

For the rest of us that actually want to use a smartphone that isn't crippled, this extended life battery is a huge deal. So yes, OP, I check their website every week to see if I somehow missed the announcement. I can't wait!
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
I broke down and bought the 3500mah from ebay, but no cover :(

I get 24 hours on med-heavy usage.

[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
k, let me end it for you. /smartass

There we go.

I get, on a low use day, 24+ hours. Med-heavy usage I get 18-20. Stop living off of your phone and you'll get better battery life.

x2, atleast i'm not the only one that knows how to manage their cell phone battery life.

Right now i'm sitting at 80% with 3h 52m on, time without signal at 1%, screen on time of 16 minutes voice calls of 7 minutes, and I've been listening to music on my phone from the SDcard for about 20 minutes.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
If you actually take the time to set up your phone correctly, you can save a ton of battery life. I use tasker to accomplish a majority of these tasks. For instance, when angry birds is being played i have the phone automatically adjust the brightness to a slightly higher level and i have it turn off the data connections and wifi. Then when i exit it returns the phone to the state it was in before angry birds. I have a ton of these profiles set up.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
how many people will take the time for that?

also are you running a custom kernel?
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
Phoenix 1.43 right now. And it takes a few minutes to set pretty much everything up. I just set them up as I need them.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Battery life isn't the worst, but for me its inconsistant. One day I will make trough a day, next day ill get half.

I know it will get better with froyo and updated kernals and roms.

The touch pro 2 had great battery, I always had gps on and palringo going and didn't have to worry about battery.

The other day I was in vegas taking pics with some random person, I was able to take one, while trying to take another

Boom "battery too low" :(
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I had the same issue. I found that it was something causing the battery not to go to sleep. For me, the music player (Fascinate one from EE rom) would start CorePlayerServices which would run and not allow the phone to sleep. As long as that service is running, my phone wasn't sleeping correctly. There are other things that cause this not sleeping problem as well, but that is the only one I have identified personally.
[Epic 4G Accessories] thomasskull666:
You are misunderstanding the reasons why I want this battery. Yes I could set up my phone to last for a whole day no problem, but that would severely limit the amount of time that I spend on it and the purpose for which I use it so often. I am constantly testing and flashing new zips over and over and over, which will drain the battery tremendously as it is. Testing a 32 x 32 icon on a 480x800 screen is straining on the eyes when the brightness is turned all the way down, so that must be up to see the fine details of images that I have edited.

I understand that it is completely possible to make my phone last much longer than it currently is, but taking the steps necessary to do so would thus render it useless for the tasks that I am trying to accomplish. I live off of my phone because I can and choose to do so, it is my hobby to develop custom themes/ROMs for the Epic and I don't plan on stopping just to have my battery life last 2x longer.

When this comes out it will mean the difference between being able to do whatever I want on my phone for 8-10 hours under very heavy use and only being able to make it last for less than 6 hours. IMO this is significantly to my advantage.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
what is med usage to you?

Sorry, but I'm not doing anything abnormal on this phone that I haven't done on every other smart phone that I've owned. While I'd never go back to the iPhone, it beat the hell out of this one when it comes to battery life. Even the EVO runs circles around this thing, which is sad given all of the complaints people had the EVO initially.

I used the GPS for 30 minutes this past weekend to get to a friend's house. It was at 100% when I left my house, and I put it in the car charger then turned the GPS on. Even though it was at 100% and then sat there being charged - it drained to 79% in 30 minutes of usage. While being charged! Imagine how much it would have drained without a charger.

I'm glad you get great battery life with your phone, but it sounds like you use it about as much as I used my dumb phone in 2001. It's 2010 and I paid $250 for this thing. I expect better results.

I paid for mine out of contract. :rolleyes:

My phone charges fine with music streaming through rhapsody and angry birds playing. I used the GPS last friday to drive to an interview for an hour off the charger and it drained roughly 25% of the battery. Sounds like you have a battery problem, I'd talk to Sprint about replacing it.

Also try Startup Auditor from the market and disable both DRM services from Auto starting.
