Is there a way to update to system apps without consuming user memory? I updated facebook & Google maps and both of them consumed a few Mbs of user memory.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] morning_wood:
you can move them from /data/app to /system/app

then "rm * /data/dalvik-cache" and reboot
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] palle14:
Hey! Can you please give a little more info about om how to do it? I'd really need that extra space ;D
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
Don't use this! This will remove everything in the current directory and it will remove /data/dalvik-cache. This might leave your phone in an bricked state, depending on the current directory.

I think what was meant, was

rm /data/dalvik-cache/*
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] ppirate:
palle14, the wiki pages contain some info on removing applications. That is, first moving them from /system/app to /data/app. What you need to do is the reverse as was explained by morning wood.

[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] parthabhatta:
I removed the two required .apks from /data/app to /system/app. Rebooted and used Titanium to do necessary dalvik cleaning. Nothing was removed incidentally. I rebooted again and started using the device. No problems and everything is running fine. Incidentally I gained around 8mb by removing the two .apks from data to system.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] benjymous:
Another handy tip is to do this when you're finished (before you reboot)

busybox rm -rf /data/data/com.android.vending

That will reset the Market app, which has the nice side effect of making it rescan all your installed apps, and thus making sure they're all attached to the market properly.

If you don't, you won't automatically get update notifications for any of the apps you've moved
[G1 General] chinmayfun:
Hi,

I have bricked my phone and now stuck at the T-Mobile Boot logo. :eek:

The only solution i saw to restore is JTAG which is a very expensive solution for a one time use. :(

I am searching for Mobile Repairing Services who offer JTAG restoring for HTC G1 phones. :confused:

Thanks,

Chinmay

SOLUTION:

JTAG Repairing is available at Manish Market Details below:

Wonder Gallery

Manish Market, 1st Floor,

Shop Number No.27, Palton Road,

Mumbai 40001

Note: Do not try any other shop, the guy sitting at this shop is really good at this and genuine. Some people at Manish market might remove some parts from the mobile so beware. People from Mumbai must be aware of this.

Cost: Rs.800

Time: 1 Hour

Things to remember once mobile boots:

1. Check Network

2. If Network does not get registered check IMEI number

3. Call and check mic and speaker.

PLEASE NOTE: I do not own this repair shop, would not be able to receive your phone and get it fixed as I no more live in Mumbai. I do not have a contact number for this store, the address has been posted which should help locate the store where I got my phone fixed long back.
[G1 General] HellRazorGod:
Try Heera Panna .
[G1 General] Hakim Rahman:
I guess you do not need to do JTAG !!! many people try to do it and do not succeed :o :o I suggested a hard reset and reflash with the official ROM you never hear about Kaiser SPL loader right ..? learn it :):)​
[G1 General] AdrianK:
If the phone is truly bricked you can not reflash, that's the definition of a brick.

This thread is regarding the DREAM not KAISER.
[G1 General] chinmayfun:
Hi,

If my phone does not boot or get into recovery how would I install the Kaiser SPL ?

Instructions say that active sync must be green, which would happen only if the phone boots.

Kaiser is Windows, and mine is an android phone... got confused with the active sync being green as that happens with the Windows Sync Utility :-(

-Chinmay
[G1 General] VeryCoolAlan:
You can't mate that's the end that is a hard brick. Since you can't get into recovery. Can you get untk bootloader?
[G1 General] AdrianK:
You can't, they assumed you had an hTC Kaiser for some odd reason, obviously can't install the Kaiser SPL on Dream.

So just to double check, can you boot in to the SPL? Hold camera and power.

Hey guys,

I also have a bricked G1 in India (Delhi NCR) and cant find anyone to fix it. Ive tried my tried and true repair guy in Karol Bagh and a few other places. Ive resolved to try to unbrick it on my own. Ive tracked down the necessary pieces and am about to purchase the parts.

How much did they charge to fix it the JTAG way?

They have G1 motherboards that are UNLOCKED on ebay for about $30.
[G1 General] chinmayfun:

Hey thats a great news...

[G1 General] martiniturbide:
Hi

Since India was too far away for me, I found a guy that fixed my bricked "HTC G1" (hard brick , without access to the fastboot menu) in Ecuador (South America).

If anybody in Ecuador has the same problem you can visit his webpage at:

mujerpc (dot) com or you can find him at Mercado Libre Ecuador with the name "HTC Innovation"

He fixed my phone in 2 days. (since his lab is a little bit away from Quito).

He changed the mainboard and returned the phone with an Android ROM installed.

Hi Chinmay,

I have to same HTC G1 hardbrick problem and needs a jTAG unbrick.

I am from Pune and wish to send the device via courier if possible.

Can you please message me the phone/email of the store shop?

Thanks in advance :)

[G1 General] chinmayfun:
There is no chance of sending a courier to the shop as these ppl are overloaded with work. They would not have time to repair it and send a courier back to you.

The place which is called Manish Market is full of repairing shops and its always better to be there personally. The shop I have mentioned is a good one.

"mobiletechvideo.com" repair BRICK almost PHONE

Bonjour,

Suite à un FLASH raté, mon téléphone, G1 T-mobile, ne voulait plus redémarrer (impossible de le mettre en marche , plus aucun bouton ne fonctionnait = BRICK )

Je l'ai envoyé en réparation chez "ALLOPSM" et "CORDON Electronic", aucune de ces 2 entreprises FRANCAISES n'a su le réparer.

Je suis tombé par hasard sur le site "hXXp://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com". J'ai pris contact par email et ils m'ont répondu qu'il savait réparer ce genre de panne. En 2 semaine la réparation a été faite (France USA France + réparation)

Very The BEST

I am really impressed by how quickly they managed to repair my old G1.

Following a failed flash, my phone did not want to restart (can not turn it on, no buttons worked = BRICK)

I sent in for repair "ALLOPSM" and "Electronic CORD", neither of these two FRENCH companies has not repair.

I stumbled upon the site "hXXp://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com".

I contacted by email and they told me he knew what kind of repair failure. In two weeks the repair was made (French to United States and return France + repair)

[Vibrant General] sarge363:
I bought my Vibrant back in September and for the first month or so I did not modify it at all. I would use if for everything movies, music, ebooks, Facebook...etc. I was satisfied with it.....so I thought. Then I got the OTA JI6 update and like alot of people I started having problems. So I looking into what I could do to enhance the phone performance. First I started looking on youtube and found some videos how to use odin, root and lagfix. Needless to say it sparked a huge interest in me. Eventually I found XDA fourms and this small obsession exploded. It was all about flashing from then on. I wasn't even using the phone for videos, music and books anymore. It was all about what new ROMs were coming out. I noticed a increased level of performance but never actually utilized the full extent of what I was doing cause all I cared about was flashing.....until about ten minutes ago. I hadn't loaded an ebook since I started flashing and lagfixing. Originally it would take like a minute or so to load the book but when I loaded one today I was like WHOA... I was blown away by who fast it loaded. It loaded in seconds. I just wanted to give a big thanks to all the developers cause with out you this phone would have been a useless POS.....and to everyone else donate, donate, donate cause they deserve it.

PS: To all the trolls, if u can't do better stop running ur mouth.

Sent from my Vibrant w/ Nero V1 OCLF.....

My g2 has been experiencing screen issues lately. I'm pretty sure it's a hardware problem, but I'm going to ask around to make sure. It is rooted with Virtuous .0.7.4 running on it.

It just happened overnight where there would be a line of dead pixels at the bottom of the screen and a black bar on the right side. Everything seems to be blurry and choppy, any help? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
You could try a different ROM like CM and see if it does anything. Not going to do any harm... but I think realistically it's very unlikely to fix anything either.

Very much sounds like a hardware problem. Since the screen isn't physically broken or damaged (right?) this should be a warranty replacement.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ties0:
Well, I kinda bought this brand new from someone, does this still qualify for a warranty? Thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
That's a sticky subject. Is it a G2 or DZ?

If a DZ I would think HTC will honor the warranty, why not?

If it's a G2, HTC might tell you to pound sand as it's a carrier phone.

As far as what TMO will do for you, there's a bunch of variables there... are you a customer? Was the phone bought at full retail or at subsidy? etc...

I'm honestly not sure though.

If you have to deal with TMO, I think your best bet is to go through the person you bought it from, if at all possible.

Please let us know what happens as this is a very interesting question.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ties0:
It is a G2. Looks like I'll be ebaying this and finding a new one if nothing pops up. :(
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
I see replacement screens on the bay for around $70. Sure is cheaper than a new G2. Of course you'd need to be able to put it in yourself. There's a pretty good tear-down guide.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jessicamartoranA:
Im having the same issue my screen is becoming unresposive either it wont work or i have to double or triple click on things i used a stock rom and custom and it still has the issue and i got this phone from a friend i called Tmobile about the issue and they r sending a replacement phone with no problem but im thinking is this the only issue with this phone? And will the next one do the same thing
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dadewy:
What information did you have to give them? Was his warranty exchange technically under your friend's plan or did they accept you were the new owner and still give you warranty service?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alfadog77:
to tell if its G2 check the batt cover and see if it says G2 in big letter if its DZ it says "with htc sense" on the back of the phone

I told them the screen was unresponsive and they go through that whole pull the batt, factory restore blah blah crap of course we all know its not going to work but their so called training and computer tell them it might just work and it will restore my phones screen to full funtion and very useable lol yeah sure it will ...anyways nothing worked as expected so yes they excepted me as the new owner thinking it was mine all along anyways and r now sending me a new one under warranty

Edit: Does anyone know how to restore the phone back? Does flashing the stock rom over take out root? Thanks again.

If its a G2 and you're a current tmobile customer in good standing. Just give em a call and they will give you a free replacement even if you bought the phone from someone else. That's what happened to me and my G2 I traded mine for a nexus one. And within a week my touchscreen was unresponsive. I first called htc and they told me to call tmobile which I did and got my phone replaced for free. Hope this helps.

My market hasn't been working today at all.

I have the new 2.2.7 market and when I click my apps, I get an error saying "a network error has occurred. Retry, or cancel and return to the previous screen."

I've tried uninstalling the 2.2.7 market and using the old market, I've tried both wifi and 3g and I've tried clearing market data and cache in application settings.

Nothing works.

Market was working just fine earlier today or yesterday for sure. No major changes since then.

Also, what's weird is that I can install and download new apps. I just can't get to the my apps tab to view/update existing apps.

Any ideas?
[Droid X General] da1prophet:
I've noticed the same thing so I'm thinking it's a problem with the market and not an issue on our end.
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
I had a similar issue that fixes itself. Who h is odd because I switch between mg x, incredible, and fascinate. The x is activated and it was using the old market, I cli led update all(apps) and let it be. Then we.t to filling with the market and nothing would work. Then let it be for about 10min and now I have the new market odd, hasn't been pushed to my other two vzw phones. Maybe its just the update that is your issue. I've never used my x for nodding only day to day phone bc batt life is so good but im trying to figure out how to do nods with it because with the locked bootloader it's quite a bit diffent than my dinc or fascinate. Its been rooted of course since about sometime in july. Had to drop the fascinate for a while bc who knows when or if it will actually get froyo. Its quite sad bc that phone has awesome hardware.

Hey everyone,

Long time follower of XDA, first time poster.

I've got a custom ROM (eclair 2.1) which i've been porting running on a custom omap device for a little project of mine. Everything is fine, I have most Gapps working (Nav, Maps, Places etc.). But I can't seem to get VoiceSearch to run without giving me "connection problems" issue.

I've extracted Gapps packages from CM5. pushed NetworkLocation.apk (which solved a networkprovider error earlier) and the VoiceSearch 2.1 apk with still no luck.

Log cat is not throwing back any errors. Mic works fine, 3G works fine. I just get the "Connection problem" when ever the speech recognition intent is called. I don't understand what the problem could be...

So i'm hoping someone can explain what requirements, missing packages (etc.), i need to get it running

Alright so I got the tablet yesterday and I've been hacking it ever since.

Here's what happened:

Booted into NvFlash mode, flashed a custom recovery, everything went fine. However, when I tried to turn the tablet off after the flash, it refused to do so.

Now it's just stuck on the "Entering NvFlash recovery mode / Nv3p Server" screen and I can't for the life of me get the damn thing to turn off.

My PC still recognizes it over usb, but when I try to do anything with nvflash, it hangs on "Nvflash started".

Any ideas apart from letting the battery drain and trying again? This is barely using any power so it's gonna take a looooooong time for that to happen.
[G Tablet General] roebeet:
Never had this issue, but yes you might have to let the battery drain if its stuck in APX mode and cannot get out. It will take about 24 hours - I know this because I had to do this once.

Is it possible that the power button is stuck?
[G Tablet General] ngorgi:
Nope, I've pressed it a million times already.

If it's not off by the morning I'm taking it back to Office Depot and saying that I tried to install the update for the stock OS and this happened. Just hope nobody there knows anything about custom ROMs.
