[myTouch 4G General] hammondnav:
If this is really the way it's going to be, then they must have had a business case for taking those measures. These companies are out to make money, not to make toys for the homebrew community.

My guess is that they were getting more returns/exchanges than they were comfortable with. I mean, let's be honest here. How many of us know folks who have returned a bricked device saying "it just stopped working?" I personally know people who have tried rooting/moding phones without the least bit of knowledge of how it all works. I know because I'm the one getting calls to help out...

When that **** happens, TMO ends up in a difficult position. They're not going to call their customers liars, and they can't refuse to exchange the phone.

I wish they would give people an option to "buy" root. You pay $25 for an unlock, and your warranty is immediately and automatically voided. That way, only people who know what they're doing will sign up for it.
[myTouch 4G General] netter123:
Can you confirm that you did a full reboot after this removal method (vs just down to a 'quick' reboot) and that they stayed gone?
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
Why do you guys want to completely remove something? Why not just disable it? Same effect.... You will never need more space in /system/app since you can't even write to that and if you disable it - it's gone from the launcher and does not hog memory/cpu. And you can re-enable it in case you want to use it again.

Look here for directions (thanks to Paul O'Brien)
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
Thanks! I'll try it at work.

EDIT: It didn't work. :(

[myTouch 4G General] mr_skot:
I hear ya on the apps. I paid full price for this device and I think Tmo should give me the ability to root to remove them since I'm not under contract.

They got their money, let me do what I want with it now.
[myTouch 4G General] borodin1:
How did it not work? I don't have the phone myself but there's absolutely no reason for me to believe it wouldn't work
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
I have no idea why it didn't work. I did exactly what the instruction said. Nothing changed, I'm assuming it doesn't work for the myTouch4G.

[myTouch 4G General] RealityDesign:
Let me clear this up for everyone. What the OP (or 2nd 3rd post?) suggested does not work permanently. I have both a G2 and a myTouch 4G, they have the exact same read-only system memory.

The major difference between the G2 and the myTouch 4G, and why the OP thinks this works, is because the myTouch has fast boot. With this enabled (and it was on mine by default) you can turn "off" the phone and turn it back on without loosing root, or in this case, having apps magically reappear.

However, if you actually REALLY turn OFF the phone, either by disabling fast boot or simply removing your battery, they are going to come right back. The only permanent solution is to disable them, and you can find Paul's post in the G2 forums about how to do that using a terminal with root access.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
I used Paul's guide on my myTouch and it didn't work. I did a complete reboot afterwards and nothing changed. I still had everything I disabled.

Yes. Multiple times now. I cannot select any preloaded

because they arent even option now. Used vision, advanced shell. Works great.

EDIT: Sorry. Disabled. Not removed.
[myTouch 4G General] bubonik:
I just did this to mine on a few apps and it worked for me, even after a restart.

Be sure to use the correct capatalization when typing out the commands. If it still doesnt work, type your commands in here exactly.
[myTouch 4G General] HeavyComponent:
Hmm, that just might be the reason. Ok, I'll give it another try with the correct capitalizations and report back.

EDIT: Yes it works guys, I didn't know I had to have the capitalization exactly the list has it. So make sure you guys type it in the the exact way you see it.

Thanks

Does anyone know of some software where you can scan barcodes or manually input an item and it will keep an inventory for you. I mostly would want something where the scan the barcode worked more than the manual input. I can make a manual list of my items in something like listpro.

It would be nice if a developer here would create something that could link to the SpringPadIt web site. I know I've seen some barcode scanning software that looks up price, but a lot of times I'm shopping and don't remember if I have a certain book or DVD or CD and don't want to buy a duplicate.

Maybe there is something like this and I just haven't found it. If there is, please point me to it.

[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslisaj:
I have read about Memory Leakage and I think that is the best way to describe what is going on with my Hero. I am Running Damage Controls last ROM and my memory keeps going away until I get the low memory icon. This has been going on for a few months now. Three months ago the problem first showed its head. So I start cleaning everything out. I do not store ANY email, texts, SMS or anything that I have control of on the phone. I do not sync with facebook, Gmail, Twitter or any of those other services. But my memory keeps "leaking" away. I got a cache cleaner, I have dumped all but three programs that I put on off the phone and while I first beat this back to 40mb to 30mb to 20mb and now I can't get it above 18mb. It's like every time there is a program up date from the Market it loads a whole new program and the old one stays. At least that is what it seemed like. I have been told to dump DC's rom and move on to something else but I like the phone and what it does when it works. I have the usual problems with slow dialing and bluetooth connection problems and that kind of stuff but all in all the phone works pretty good except for this memory problem. No I don't have apps2sd working but I don't think that would matter at this point as I have mentioned I have had this phone back up to 40mb and that memory over time just leaks away. Any idea's??? Is there another rom like Damages where the phone looks pretty stock? I am really used to the way it works and hate the idea of setting it up again. But if that is the recommendations I get from this forum I gather this is where I will have go.

Any help or idea's will be greatly appreciated. As I mentioned installing a new ROM is a last resort for me and if that is where I have to go then some suggestions would be appreciated too.............

Thanks so much.........

Lisa :confused:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derekwilkinson:
That's not memory leakage, that's just from apps. Install apps2sd... then you won't have to deal with that problem.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] debh945:
Or use Firerat's custom partitions to free up a ton of space in data.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslisaj:
Okay, aps2sd is the way to go. Being I'm not a total computer wiz I have to study how to do this. So, Firerat was mentioned and how do I do the apps2sd thing? I realize I have to back up my sd card to my PC and that is no problem and the Damage Control Rom that I have has a toggle that I can check to move the apps to the SD card so I think I'm okay there. But I have to partition and reformat my SD card. I have never done that before. Could you give me a link that I can go to so I can read all the instructions on how to do this. I have Titanium so I am well backed up there and I have recent Nandroid backups but partitioning the SD card is the trick I haven't done yet. Can I take the card out of my phone and do it with a card reader on my PC or do I have to do it through the phone? You can see the kind of help I need here and while I have resisted doing any more to my phone I think if I can free up this internal memory ALL my issues with the HERO and Damage Controls last ROM will go away for me.

As usual I appreciate the links and all you help............

Lisa ;)
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
To partition your SD card:

BACK UP SD CARD CONTENTS TO YOUR PC

boot into recovery

partition sdcard

partition sd

follow instructions

i personally set the data partition to 256 MB, but even with ~100 apps i still have like 100 MB free. there are many other size options.

i forgot the other numbers it asks for (like cache or dalvik partition), but you can leave them at zero.

back in the Partition sdcard menu, choose SD:ext2 to ext3

reboot

now you can enable a2sd and retransfer your backed up sdcard contents from your PC. you will probably need to reboot for a2sd to move your apps and take effect
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslisaj:
Were you using Damage Controls ROM?

You're instructions are very straight forward and that is kind of the way I saw the process too. I'll back up everything before I start and I'll give it a go when I get a chance.........
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c00ller:
I was not using DamageControl ROM, but I have a hunch that's how it will work.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mslisaj:
Interesting thing, I was just looking through Damage Control's "control panel" and apps2sd is checked already. Looking at Titanium Backups "control panel on their latest version it shows memory or storage usage for Phone Memory, Apps2sd and SD card usage and it shows that I have stuff in there already even though I have NOT partitioned my SD card. How can that be??? I guess these are the kind of things that come up when you use a ROM that has been abandoned by the developer. I really like everything about this ROM But this memory thing has gotten to be a real problem. I guess if I partition the SD card I will get it working faster? Or working completely? But this is an interesting question I think..........

Any feed back on this discovery would be helpful too..............

I have a Unlocked, rooted, lag fixed, samsung captivate.

My google maps is the one that came installed on the phone(4.3) and I need to update it to the 4.6 version. The thing is that I can`t find the app on the market even using the QR code.

The same happens with shazam encore.

Plese help me, is there another way to update the app?

Please helppppppppp

Why you can't find it in the market, I have no idea, (it's showing up for me) but you might just wanna wait till google sorts this out and releases 4.7.

OK, I've tried jt's non-voodoo stable kernel, pulled the battery...everything I can think of. The wireless indicator in the bar is STILL active. It fluctuates occasionally so it appears that the radio is actually on. How do I get this thing to turn off????

[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
Hey guys,

With my SD card corrupted, If i put my 16GB microSD card in and flash I9000UGJG8 the phone boots, without any SD cards showing up, now here is what I am thinking.

1. Instead of flashing the stock I9000UGJG8, I am going to try a pre-rooted complete rom (2.1) using ODIN. Know of any?

2. Once I get the phone up and running with a pre-rooted Rom, repartition using linux / terminal / adb.

I need help doing the above as I am not an advanced linux users, anyone with this kind of knowledge willing to help me, perhaps we can help a lot of members in the community who have this issue.

yes, I know, I know all this has a chance provided it is not a hardware issue. I suspect its a software issue.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
Ok Step one is done, heres how I did it.

1. Flash I9000UGJG8 using odin, before restart pull out EX SD manual copy Clockwork Recovery rename to update.zip also copy Tayutam's rom (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=774950#)

2. Insert SD card into phone and boot to recovery, choose apply update.zip, phone boots to recover 2e again, select apply update.zip and you boot to CWM.

3. While in CWM choose apply .zip form sd and select Tayutam's.

4. Now I have booted into a rom with root.

Now to figure out step 2 :( help, please

I found this - http://androidandme.com/2009/08/news/how-to-manually-partition-your-sd-card-for-android-apps2sd/

[Galaxy S I9000 General] RyanZA:
Just to check - you have /data but not /sdcard ? In this case, it can't be corrupt, it simply isn't formatted. This is easy to fix using parted.static binary.

This is only if you have a /data but not a /sdcard.

yes that is correct,

I have /data.

Can you help me format the /sdcard?

[Galaxy S I9000 General] ragin:
Hers's how I do.

When I have a costom ROM installed, want THIS ROM, I put my phone into download mode, fire up Odin, select 512 pit, select reparation.

Just as its restarting, pull battery, again put into download & flash your ROM thru Odin, here no pit no repartition your pda, modem, csc, & you are thru

Hope it helps.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] EarlZ:
Is this the same issue when the phone still boots but gives the error message saying " Internal SD card Damage, Format required" ??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
I had situation like most where phone would power off after the initial logo.

Now, I had a 8GB external microSD card which I used with the phone from the beginning ad added storage but have been removed since phone not booting up.

When I for whatever reason decided to put back the external microSD card in hope that maybe I can put the ROM file in there to flash to different ROM or something but I couldn't because in recovery mode, either internal or external sdcard would not mount.

But! when the external microSD card plugged in, I was able to fully boot the phone into the OS. (I tried both JG8 & JH2). But once it was booted into the OS, I would get a message in notification bar saying something about 'can not mount internal sdcard' or something, plus can't mount external sdcard either.

So the phone was working (to a limit) other than anything else that required sdcard storage.

I mean, I tried repartitioning from Odin and such and there was no difference. Same result.

Oh by the way, without the external microSD card, I was not able to do 3-button combo to get in to Recovery Mode but I could get in to Download Mode.

Only way to get in to Recovery Mode was to insert the external microSD card.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] trolar:
So at least you can fully boot into the OS. Mine does boot but I get a black screen. Right after the flash completes on first reboot, as soon as it hits the recovery menu, it fails to copy factory data over to the internal SD card and complains about not being able to mount the internal SD card. This seems to be a common problem to the non-international versions of the I9000 (specifically I9000M)?

Thanks ragin I will give you method a try and see what happens.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] casperr:
My friend's still does not work. Repartition or not, tried so many roms, still boots up but after the blank logo, it is just completely blank screen but the back button or menu button are lit when pressed. Even with an external microcard in, it still wont boot. I think the internal memory card is corrupted as indicated on the recovery mode
[Galaxy S I9000 General] casperr:
It says

E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1
[Galaxy S I9000 General] casperr:
E: Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1

(No such file or directory)

E:copy_dbdate_media: Cant't mount SDCARD:

copy default media content failed

That is the error that comes up right after flashing the phone with any ROM that are known good. And when reboot now is selected, it just shows blank screen right after the samsung logo shows up
[Galaxy S I9000 General] plemen:
That is the infamous internal sdcard corruption that quite a few Bell users are experiencing (see the thread in the general section). I had it once - I repartitioned and recovered; the next time it happened there was no way of fixing it. Tried many ROMS, repartitioning etc. I sent it in to Bell and they had to replace the motherboard.

I really hope there is a software/firmware fix but I don't have high hopes... good luck.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] xxgg:
No point in being able to boot into OS,

when either internal or external storage can not be mounted.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rumy:
in windows/linux when you have a drive that does not have a drive letter or is courupted you go into fdisk/gpart and fix it, why cant we do that in Android.

Flash drives dont just get corrupted where it is unfixible, I could see loosing the data but a low level partition and/format should be able to fix it.

Just my 2 cents :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wang1chung:

[Fascinate Android Development] K40:
Easiest way to look at them. The Kernel is the brain, it is the control point. Everything goes through it.

ROM is more of what you see, the programs and such.

While it is much more indepth that's the basics of it. Just remember to never use either that is not built for your phone.
