Can you tell me what rom you have, im a take wild guess and say ur running a froyo rom without the sdcard_fix, if so here try this SD Fix
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xriderx66:

[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Can anyone recommend a good memory management package that would work well with the G-Tablet for me?

Several times I have wanted to know what's going on memory-wise and how much I have left and whether it's being used properly.

I am searching the Market, but everybody there claims to be able to do anything! I need good working software.

[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Task Manager, in the Market - pretty basic app. Shows memory remaining, what's running and is a task killer. You'd be amazed at how many apps put themselves into memory, over time.

This is one of my "must have" apps.
[G Tablet General] case-sensitive:
Another app you might want to install *along side* with task manager is "autostarts" -- it lets you choose which apps you want to start upon booting. It takes a bit of trial & error to pick the optimal sets of apps (e.g. being too aggressive would bork some widgets), but with a little tuning you can save a lot of memory & start up time.

You have to root your device, but you're running one of the custom ROMs, right? :-)
[G Tablet General] butchconner:
Roebeet, et al:

Went to the Market and there are "Task Manager" apps by several firms.

Which is the good one?

Rev
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
"Task Manager", by Rhythm software is the one I use. And I use "Startup Cleaner Pro".
[G Tablet General] babybacon:
I just use autokiller memory optimizer. it isnt a task killer but it modifies the android's built in memory manager.

i have been using for months on my eris and ever since i got my g-tab. its great.

no worries. and no having to exclude things.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
Well, if you use your phone a lot, the display is the major cause of the drain, and there isn't much you can do about that short of decreasing the brightness. However if you use it more like a phone and less like a toy, then optimizing your phones standby mode can be a huge battery saver. To do this I recommend getting a JK6 based kernel like Eugene's Super IO Kernel. These kernels will only drain at around 1% per hour in standby. Second, use Superpower, Tasker, or some other similar app to automatically disable data while the display is off.

With these two things I get around 50 hours on a charge, but like I said, I don't play a lot of games or surf the web for hours ;)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] c-brit323:
I just downloaded superpower but im not sure if its working I set data to disable but when I turn the screen on it looks like it hasnt changed
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MWBehr:
It has a bit of delay, I believe 30 seconds by default. You can change this setting if you want at the bottom of the screen state menu, but 30 seconds is a pretty good amount of time.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0tech:
Honestly, I would say no. This phone now feels very out-dated even though it shouldn't and Sony seem to take their sweet time updating it. I would not recommend a Sony phone to anyone having experienced my X10 and now I feel stuck with it. It's average at best and there's far better, more open phones out there.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pedrocel85:

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] violentgoomba:
Go for it. Has wireless tethering, 854x480 screen, decent battery, no issue with performance, reasonably good camera. Modding this phone has come a long way. Devs are working on cracking the bootloader and there's a group working on getting froyo on it. XDA has a good x10 community working on improving this phone.

The only downside is the screen doesn't display 16mil colors (there is color banding in some graphics/games/wallpapers), and no multitouch. MT is coming according to SE.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epinion:
Go for it. It's a great phone and you will not realize it until you use it. ^_^

Try to read this post.

Outdated phone? I don't think so. It's still up to date, and will give you benefit more when MT driver come. ^_^

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycrash986:
After messing with a custom ROM downloaded from ROM Manager, I wanted to go back to my original stock 2.2. However, when I went to do the restore of my most recent backup (done before I flashed this most recent ROM) it tells me that the MD5 sum has a mismatch and won't do the restore.

So after doing some research, I try and do a clean restore of the stock 2.2 RUU .zip, but HBOOT tells me that the PB31IMG.zip is out of date and won't do the update.

I have no other backups on my SD card or anywhere else, and I've flashed the phone to a different ROM that was downloaded to my SD card so I at least have a functioning phone. However I want to bring it back to stock in case I have to send the phone to Verizon at some point.

Security is set to S-ON for those who need to know.

Any assistance on this is greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnycrash986:
Ok, after fixing the MD5 error and restoring my backup (and clearing the cache/data/etc) It shows the "HTC Incredible" screen, but then goes black and shows nothing at all. All buttons are unresponsive and a battery pull is necessary to get back into recovery.

What might be happening here?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaptain120:
I've been having the same exact problem. My phone is almost unusable right now after loading a 2.3 ROM onto to it just to see how it worked. I backupped my files and clear my cache before hand, but when I load into HB Boot and click recovery, the phone vibrates, displays the HTC logo, then goes to a black screen with two white bars on the sides. It is unresponsive and requires a battery pull.

I can reboot the phone and get into the 2.3 ROM, but it is slow and buggy. No android market, lots of force closes, and won't load my google account.

I assume the problem has something to do with Clockwork MOD recovery. Any ideas out there?

Here is an apk for Google Talk that I have hacked to work on the NC. Rename /system/app/Talk.apk to something else and stash this one in there.

http://www.muffinworld.net/android/nookcolor/Talk.apk

You WILL need a different keyboard other than the stock one! This one is great:

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9826968&postcount=11

Known Issues:

App exits immediately if you tap on a contact's avatar. This is because the contact management dependencies are not available on the NC.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] PTzero:
Thank you very much. It works well. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] PTzero:
I'm curious... what did you modify to get the Talk.apk to work?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cabbieBot:
Could you post a link on how to replace the keyboard? I think you rename the new one latinime.apk and place it somewhere...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Mistar Muffin:
No, you need to go to /system/app/ and rename LatinIME.apk to something else and then install the multitouch keyboard APK I linked to and reboot. That's it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnopsec:
All hail the Muffin Man! :D
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] rxr:
This got Talk to work...thank you...but the keyboard is being truncated. I am only seeing the top 2 rows...
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] plariers:
That's why you need to switch keyboards
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ellerbestyle:
I am using smart keyboard pro and the talk apk you posted doesnt work. I even tried changing the permissions and nothing happened.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] PTzero:
Did you also apply the hack to enable Gmail and Android Market previously posted by Mistar Muffin? I believe those steps are a prerequisite to get GTalk to work.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] graymulligan:
Hmm...this is where I am...gmail/market all set, original talk application didn't work, so I renamed the talk apk's to end in bak, so they wouldn't be running in the background.

I've renamed the other two back to normal, and have slid the apk from this thread over into system/apps. I can't install it from the unit (not allowed anymore since the gmail/market install)

Talk doesn't appear in my app list. Is it because I haven't installed the apk? Assuming this is the case, if I install it using adb when I get home, that should clear thigns up, correct?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] johnopsec:
OK. I'm going to assume that you have remounted the /system filesystem as read-write since you say that you renamed the original Talk.apk. Really no need to rename it as it is not an original system binary and it doesn't and will never work.

So, with /system read-write, copy the NEW Talk.apk into /system/app

Change it's permissions to 755 (rwx-rx-rx).

Reboot.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] Ben74:
works great. thanks, muffin!
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] cabbieBot:
can permissions be changed within root explorer?

on vending.apk, for example, long press to get to the permissions option. Theres a 3x3 grid with 'read' 'write' 'execute' as columns and 'user' 'group' 'others' as rows.

edit: dont mean to get off topic but my market worked when i checked all the boxes in the row 'user' then rebooted. so maybe that works for talk as well.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] graymulligan:
I renamed them to .apk, from .bak. I had changed them rather than moving or deleting them, and meant that I had renamed them to their original names. Which still makes no sense...lol.

I didn't think to change the permissions...I had it sitting at rwx-r-r, swapping to rwx-rx-rx did the trick. Thanks for putting up with stupid questions, your help is greatly appreciated.

Have you tried plugging your Tab into the Mains electricity supply and powering it on?
[Galaxy Tab General] ownhd2:
I still got battery if that's what you mean
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
No... sorry what I am referring to is plug your Tab into the elecrtic mains as if you were charging it and try switching it on.

It has been known to 'wake up' the Tab on machines that are stuck. This is because you can not perform a battery removal trick on the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] ownhd2:
Yeah tied that it just stays on the samsung logo

I got it from t-mobile uk do you know where i can get there stock firmware please
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
The last I heard (2 weeks past) was T-Mobile have not released their stock ROM out.

Have you tried going to samfirmware.com and looking for the ROM file there?

It would mean using Odin but to be frank I prefer Odin to Kies.

Kies bricked my SGS and Odin with samfirmware's ROM file sorted my bricked phone.

Place your finger on the home button, push the volume up button and hold it together with the home button. Now while you push those two buttons, push the power button. Hold all three buttons together until you see the first screen. At that moment release all three buttons.

Select the option wipe data/factory reset in the menu that will be presented to you (use volume buttons to go up and down) and than either press the home button or the power button (can't remember which one) to confirm your choice.
[Galaxy Tab General] ownhd2:
Still no luck flashed new firmware still get samsung logo on the screen im stuck in what to do now
[Galaxy Tab General] ownhd2:
I tried to flash the latest firmware

Because of stupidness this was not really successful and my TAB didn't start after the flashing...

also pressing the power + volume down show's no effect.

the display turns on only when it's powered by the charger displaying 2 icons of a phone and a computer
[Galaxy Tab General] Beards:
Yes, the two icons are stating the Tab's awaiting connection to a PC but that does not help your predicament given you have already tried to flash another ROM.

Looking at the problem your only option now would be to contact your nearest service centre and explain the situation.

Bear in mind, Samsung got fed up of users rooting their phone's and sent a newsletter to all centres informing them if they receive any phones that had been rooted they were not to treat them under warranty.

You can read that newsletter here ~ Samsung Newsletter to Service Centre's ~ Rooting Voids Warranty

Give them a call anyway and see what they say. There should be one near you, I have three near me in the UK.

When I had a problem with my SGS I telephoned them, they told me to bring it in and would check it out there and then.
[Galaxy Tab General] ric666:
ownhd2, I had the same problem and I solved with this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=854300

1) Download the the file HERE and extract the it

2) Inside the ZIP you will find Odin 1.7 + PIT file + PDA +Modem + CSC files.

3) Open Odin, select the PIT file + PDA + Modem + CSC into their respective places.

4) Make sure repartition is CHECKED.

5) put the phone in download mode and connect it to your computer. start flashing.

6) The device will reboot. If you are getting tons of FC's on boot, reboot into recovery and do a factory reset.

Done.
