[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
you're confusing a few things:

APPS2SD:

There are two methods used at the moment.

The Froyo method, made by Google, which you use at the moment. It installs the app on the phone memory and is able to outsource a small amount of data to the FAT32 partition on your SD-card. It does create failures with apps that use widgets or run in the background.

The A2SD+ method, integrated in DeFroST and almost every other custom ROM. You have to create an EXT3 partition on your SD card (use ROM manager for this) and then reflash the rom. After that it gets activated automatically. All apps and also the dalvik cache gets moved on the EXT3 partition on your SD card. You don't have to and you shouldn't move any apps around afterwards with the Froyo A2SD described above. Only some small data gets stored by the apps itself on the internal phone memory.

Moving the dalvik cache is safe. Maybe you confuse it with SWAP? Which isn't necessary on the HTC Desire.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Narco77:
ok, this is a little confusing

I'm running defrost

let's suppose that I installed the firefox app.

the diskusage tool tells me that it takes 13,4 MB in internal memory.

in applications settings, I have the option to move the app to sd card.

When I do this, my available memory does not change (102 mb)

Does that mean that firefox was already on the sd card ?

In that case how do I know what eats up my data storage ?

Thanks for precisions ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
Do you use A2SD+ together with an EXT3 partition.

If so, every app you install will get installed on the EXT3 partition on your SD-card together with the Dalvik cache, instead of your internal phone memory. If you move this app with the Froyo A2SD tool to the SD card then you'll move the app from the EXT3 partition to your FAT32 partition, stupid.

However, every app, while running, creates some temporary data files. Those files remain on the internal phone memory. And maybe Firefox mobile creates some huge data files, but the main app is installed on the EXT3 partition, now, because you moved it with Froyo A2SD, a small part is installed on the EXT3 partition and some part, the moved on the FAT32 partition. The created data remains untouched.

I had 106 MB free internal memory. Then I installed Firefox and still had 106MB free. I started Firefox, 103 MB free.

Diskusage tells me Firefox needs 2.81MB internal memory. 2.81MB of this is data.

In the Android app settings android tells me Firefox occupies 16.19 MB, 13.38 MB for the app, 2.81 MB data.

So those 13.38 MB are located on the EXT3 partition. If I move Firefox now, parts of the 13.38 MB get moved from the SD card to the SD card.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jorrr:
Ah, I get it now. Thank you very much. I did everything you said, so it should be ok now. So there is no need anymore to move apps, with widgets for instance, to the memory of the phone?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UpSpin:
If you use app2sd with the ext partition now, then no, you don't have to move any app or widget around, and you shouldn't.

With Quick System Info you can check how much free space is left on your ext partition.
[Wildfire General] bagpuss0001:
Hi All.

I posted this here because I believe it to be a software issue with my ROM. I am using the Wildpuzzle 8.0.8, OC to 710Mhz with the circlemod. (and very happy with WP I am too!:D)

The issue, as the title suggests, is with charging. When I use the AC charger all is fine, but charging via the usb never charges above 82%. This was fine before I upgraded the rom and I have has the rom for a couple weeks an AC gets it to 100% in the right time.;)

I thought it may be the circle mod just reporting it wrong, but several other battery monitor widgets show the same and the notification LED always shows amber. I have had it plugged in USB for 6 hours charging from 25%, and after 2 1/2 hours it gets to 82%, then stays there.:confused:

Anyone any idea whats causing this?
[Wildfire General] pnukeid:
we are same,

strange some one say to thats looks like this a bug from ClockWorkMod Recovery.,.

and don't know that people using other rom have this problem too.
[Wildfire General] 71baker:
Have you tried just wiping the battery stats?
[Wildfire General] erhanakt:
when will we do wipe batt stats? Ex: Full charge and then make it On clockwork on bootloader mode?
[Wildfire General] bagpuss0001:
Well, for one thing I am glad its not just me. lol.

This does confuse me though. In simplistic (very simplistic) terms the phone charges from a USB. Why should android or HTC care if its from mains, in-car or PC usb? Is it something to do with current?

I've recently uninstalled an app well within the 24 hour period, but there was no uninstall and refund button - only an uninstall button. The downloads section in the Market show the app as having a "purchased" status (not "installed"). Does this refund occur in any case eventually?
[Vibrant General] willsnews:
The best you can do is e mail the person our people that manage the app

Times never wasted when your getting waisted
[Vibrant General] floepie:
Strange that the developer cannot be contacted. One of the comments alludes to this. The app in question is PlayerPro. It's just too clunky for my large collection and I'd rather deal with lists than images. It's not a fortune, but still a bit strange...

I guess buyer beware when it comes to PlayerPro. However, I wouldn't think this to be a dev issue, but rather a Market issue.
[Vibrant General] d01100100:

Refund policy

You have 24 hours from the time of purchase (not download) to return an application purchased through Android Market for a full refund. You may only return a given application once; if you subsequently purchase the same app again, you may not return it a second time.

How to return an app:

From Market, visit the My Downloads page, and select the application you'd like to return.

* Applications that are eligible for return are marked with a 'Uninstall & Refund' button. Please note that after the 24-hour return period has expired, all sales are final.

* After 24 hours, selecting the "Uninstall" button will simply remove the application from your device. More about uninstalling purchased applications.

If you're unsatisfied with an application after 24 hours, we recommend contacting the developer directly. Learn more about refunds.
[Vibrant General] bigragu:
Ya, it doesn't have anything to do with the developer. The Market has its own purchasing rules that everyone must follow. My guess is that you went beyond the 24 hours even if you didn't realize it. Contacting the developer and having them directly reimburse you the money is the only way to get it back, but keep in mind that if the dev agrees, you would still be able to use the app because the dev has no way of monitoring your use. They realize this which may make them gun shy on replying to a bunch of similar requests.
[Vibrant General] floepie:
Nah, I'm still *well* within the 24 hour period. Downloaded around 8pm last night. Email from market to prove it. Oh well, it's more a curiosity.

Since you didn't specify explicitly:
[Vibrant General] floepie:

Every time I flash a new ROM after wiping, the Market application tries to download tons of apps that I've had in the past (some were uninstalled long ago).

I dont want ANY download to be done automatically, since I'm using Titanium Backup to restore the apps that I need, and the huge amount of downloads from the market just messes up my phone, and forces me to cancel every download manually, and uninstall those that I couldnt cancel on time...

I understand that some people need this feature, for me its the exact opposite...

Is there a way to manage/clear these apps from my google account?

Is there a way to force google not to save these apps for me?

Many thanks in advance!

Under settings -> Privacy you have the option to back up your data and do automatic restore when apps are reinstalled. Disable those and it should remove the settings.

Does HTC DESIRE with stock FROYO use CPU THROTTLING by default or not?

If not the the SetCPU would really come in handy when the Desire is idle.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlos67:

I too would like to know this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
what do you mean throttling? you mean it drops speed at high temperature? or drops speed when idle?

by default the desire is set ondemand 998mhz when idle or at sleep it drops to 245mhz
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
this is what I meant.

When you say sleep, does that mean that when the you press the power button once and the screen turns off.

Does this constitute as sleeping and thus lowers the clock to 245MHz?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
yes when the screen turns off, unless a program is requesting cpu resources it will drop to 245 not only during screen off but during idle time too

you can improve all this by rooting ofcourse and installing kernel with different schedulers like interactive but ondemand is there in stock froyo
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
1.

So the stock HTC Froyo just uses 2 states.

When operating the phone it is at ~1GHz, but when the phone is idle it's at 245Mhz.

Correct?

2.

If the scheduler was Interactive but On Demand that would mean that the CPU clock would adapt to my usage. Such as this example:

- If I was browsing the net thru WIFI the clock would be ~1GHz.

- If I was just adding a calendar entry then the clock would probably be < 500 MHz.

Correct?

3.

Are there any slowdowns expected by using the On Demand schedular?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hamdir:
ondemand is in stock

schedulers like interactive, powersave and smartass can be added via root

no on demand also scales the frequencies not just two state

ondemand is good enough only sometimes late to respond to low latency like UI menus, for example interactive is more smart and responds faster there is another called smartass which is supposed to be a further modification

by the way you can notice ondemand sometimes late response while scrolling the default white messages widget in sense
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ashrack0:
HAMDIR

thx for the thorough explanation.

While browsing through this forum I noticed that the frame of mind is that interactive would give better battery life.

I have installed Richard Trip's svs V5e_1113 kernel but I do not have SetCPU installed. Which governor does this kernel use by default and is there a way (using a command from ADB shell) to use smartass governor instead? I really need to know this.

If you want a good program to format your sd card, try SD Formatter.

Download and install that, plug in your sdcard into your sd card reader and format it.

Choose Full Erase On (if possible) and Resize On. It will format your sdcard to factory default and that means even the ext partition will be gone too.
