How do I remove "a2ext" from my phone?

I wanted it for more space.. but it really slows down the phone too much, and now with CM7, It's not gonna work anyways.

How do I remove "a2ext" from my phone?

and remove the partitions I made for it

BUMPPPP BUMPP

Anyone? Come on..
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarist5122:
There is a thread in the development section about setting up a2ext so there might be some info in there. I would think it would be a similar process but no idea. If however its done and you have to format your sd card, MAKE SURE TO BACK IT UP. Formatting will delete everything on your sd card
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
Yea, thanks. I already got everything backed up.

I saw the thread, but I dont want to apply the wrong command and then my phone wont turn on or something.

I would like someone to tell me how to do it.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
Back when I had a htc hero, I asked the same question and so did others.. If I recall a dev told me to pretend I'm setting my SD card for A2SD but to put 0 for swap size and 0 for the memory reserved as well :) try that, that's what I did and took it off, then reformat it in the PC as well to be in the safe side if you want.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
Ok i set them both to 0 (zero)

Now i get continuous cyanogen loop. I deleted catche, and Dalvik cache.

Should I "Wipe data/factory reset" ?

then apply cyanogen 6.1.1 again

or does the "Wipe data/factory reset" root?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
Yeah, I'd suggest you do a full wipe and flash a ROM of your choice, I'd recommend the latest CM7 nighty! It is by far flawless to me and fast! Btw always do a full wipe when flashing ROM's as it will delete any old files that can cause issues and nope it wont lose you root :)
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
Yeah, I tried CM7

That's the main reason im getting rid of this A2EXT

it sucks.. slows down your phone wayyyy tooo muuchhh

Im gonna put CM 6.1.1

do a nand

then apply CM7

then switch back with the nand if I need to.

Hey no lie, CM7 was awesomee!!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Febby:
ahh kay kay, just wondering which CM7 did you flash? was it the cyanogen nighty release? which is found here below.

so far to me it is beast, going to OC soon so its even faster ha! :D
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xologist:
I flashed the one thats on Rom Manager

whichever that is lol

It was pretty nice, had wifi connection issue, but now that I started my phone fresh, it should all work out nice!

Had wayy too much garbage.

Only thing im waiting for now is the market to stop saying "starting download" forever and actually restore some of my apps lol

Has anyone had a problem today where your phone just cannot connect to ATT's 3G or HSPA network? For some reason, my phone is getting little-to-no signal, and if I do, it is only on GPRS... I CWM'd to my stable nandroid, but no dice, leading me to think that this problem is with the network.

What's XDA's thought on this? Possible dev issue?
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Att network just sucks.....I get good service everywhere but the places im at the most....my house and my job....go figure
[Captivate General] Superalpaca:
Their network is just pretty terrible right now. However, by summer we'll probably be singing a different tune about ATT's coverage when the iPhone user population will even out a bit. Also, I believe ATT threw down a few billion for network upgrades this year. It seems like they really took that Consumer Reports article to heart, so I actually see good things in the future.

No problems with 3G at the places I frequent in the Tampa Bay area.

I've not had any problems with 3G connections this year.
[Captivate General] matt868686:
interesting.. i spent a few hours yesterday with my phone going in and out with GPRS and no network connection at all. i've had fairly consistent EDGE ever since. i normally see 5 bars of 3G at my current location (newark, NJ).

reboots and battery pulls seem to have no effect.
[Captivate General] David_in_Florida:
-99db & HSDPA here in Tampa Bay area.
[Captivate General] mobileseq:
No AT&T 3G here...but I use edge network, get mostly 3 to 5 bars mostly indoors or outdoors depending on location. At my work, it's pretty good signal and get around 150-180kbps speed but at home is slower which is around 100-125kbps or slower, probably. I usually use wifi at my home with my own internet.

[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
I have 3G again, but regardless of HSPA or UMTS, I am getting .06Mbps down and about .4Mbps up. I have absolutely no idea why. I'm in Bridgewater, NJ.

I am in much the same predicament as you, reboots and pulls don't help. I've gone a step further and flashed 5 different ROMs today, no luck.
[Captivate General] matt868686:
actually my 3G just came back a few hours ago too. 2-4 Mbps down and about 0.3 Mbps up, which are normal 3G speeds for me. and i didn't do anything to my phone, 3G just magically reappeared after at least a full 24 hours of only EDGE. strange.
[Captivate General] fatttire:
Las Vegas + ATT = terrible.

I just went on a 2 say trip there, took me 2 hours to download a 37kb attachment with full bars. I'd get 30 text messages at once an hour late, with full bars.

If I had to work on the strip I'd drop att in a heartbeat... that is totally unfunctional!!

I've been fine elsewhere... and maybe that's just a bad day /spot... but damn!
[Captivate General] Aus_Azn:
My definition of normal is >3Mbps down, >1.5Mbps up... How is yours so different when you are so near? I get these speeds regardless if I'm on HSUPA or UMTS. I tend to use the latter to save battery.

The more I look, the more I think that ATT just capped my speeds 2 nights ago. This is crap. No modem change, nothing fixes it.

We finally got 3G here and its expanding rapidly in this state which is a good thing. I would like to see new coverage plans after March 31st.
[EVO 4G Accessories] sammyluva:
I see alot of people looking for hands free set up in cars that don't have bluetooth. I have looked around for awhile and finally found something that works for me perfectly.

To hold the phone I am using the HTC OEM dash kit. I have used universal kits and wasn't satisfied. below are some pros and cons of the HTC OEM Kit.

Pro:

- No need to plug in a charger, just put in dock and you are ready to go

- Being able to go from portrait to landscape or vise versa without messing around with hinges or knobs.

- It feels sturdy and secure

Cons:

- Can't use a case with it. The phone fits the dock bare naked only. I use seidio active case and I just slip it in after I take the phone out of the dock.

- The back camera is blocked.

To me the pros out weigh the cons so I love this dock.

To play music through the stereo I used to connect an aux tape player cable. But that's one extra step plus the wire can get messy so I have been looking around till I came across the Satechi Bluetooth hands free fm transmitter. This has solved my problem. It has a 3.5 mm connection on the side where I connect the cable from the tape player to it. While the connection to an FM is superior compared to other fm transmitters in the market the sound of an aux connection is alot better than using the unit to transmit to fm station. So now audio and phone calls are transmitted from the phone to the unit using bluetooth and the unit transmits that audio to the car using the aux cable. As soon as I get in the car and turn it on now the phone is connected within a few seconds. The unit also has a built in microphone. it also has a USB cable connection to charge your phone. One con that I found is the unit has only three buttons, call button and two buttons to change the FM station. Therefore no buttons to change tracks. The call button can be used to play or pause but never got it to work properly. So I just use the on screen buttons on the phone.

I have attached a picture which shows the dock on the dash and the bluetooth unit in the cigarette lighter. I hope this helps for those that don't want to get a new head unit to play audio wireless and looking for a dash kit.

Thanks for the review.

Imma thank you .
[EVO 4G Accessories] catseyenu:
Any chance of getting a picture of the "3.5 mm connection on the side" & and more detail on how the connection is made to the tape player? Does your tape player already have the port?

[EVO Shift 4G General] johnnycross22:
I've been playing classic games (snesoid, genesoid, nesoid, gameboid) using the Shift's hardware keyboard and I have to say I'm really impressed. I was upset at first when I found out the shift's d-pad was on the right side of the keyboard but found you can map the buttons WASZ for dpad and it works really really well. So far i've only found a handful of games that were difficult to play with the Shift's keyboard. Works amazing for RPG type games and I was even able to play Super Mario World and Donkey Kong Country really well. Anyone else give gaming a spin using the hardware keyboard?
[EVO Shift 4G General] vampir4997:
Not yet,but thats because i havent got my phone yet. Thats one of the reasons i wanted the shift. I want to see how psx4droid runs on it!!
[EVO Shift 4G General] johnnycross22:
I've run genesis, snes, gameboy, and nes games with sound and they all have run great, i'm gonna test out psx4droid right now, i'll report back.
[EVO Shift 4G General] Zardos66:
It works great, I've never had a problem with the D-pad being on the left or right, both work great for me.

I tried out Silent hill on pxs4droid, it ran smooth, but had a few graphics and sounds issues.
[EVO Shift 4G General] johnnycross22:
After putting psx4droid through its paces I was kind of disappointed. I think lack of an analog stick has a lot to do with it but the controls just seemed very lacking. Also all of the games I tried had a noticeable amount of lag/stutter that alone wouldn't have been that distracting but combined with the underwhelming controls I found any fast paced games to be unplayable. RPGs however are mint.
[EVO Shift 4G General] herbthehammer:
Playing games where the controls are on the screen are a pain in the butt.
[EVO Shift 4G General] hacker01:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
ok - i have gone through about 6 roms now and im constantly getting the same story.

i primarily use CM based roms cuz those are the only ones that seem to connect to ad-hoc networks shared from my computer. when i use CM7 roms the internet constantly connects and disconnects and when i use CM6 roms the phone says im connected but the PC doesnt see any present connections.. not even with connectify or the other hotspot programs seem to help

its strange cuz i also have an aria with a CM6 rom which connects flawlessly but the HD2 cant even be seen on the network.

PLEASE can anyone help me out with this problem? I've been awake for the past 2 days trying to fix this problem from all sorts of angles and i still cant connect to an ad-hoc wifi
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
i just tried connectify but the problem is the same, it says im connected but still there is no data coming from the computer. my MAC address appears fine so i have no idea what is causing the problem
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
not even changing the channels, editing wpa_supplicant, using static IP or DHCP... nothing helps..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
just realized that if i try to connect while other devices like my aria are currently connected, the other devices get disconnected from the network.. no idea whats causing that but could use some insight
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] daemonfly:
There is another longer thread with someone having the same or at least very similar problems. All non-Sense builds he's tried have wifi "connecting", but not actually transferring any data. When he loads up a Sense build, it all works fine. I'd look it up, but search unavailable for "10 minutes". I did comment on it though.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
You wrote you try to setup an ad-hoc WiFi connection. This means you connect two devices together, not to a network (if you want to use your laptop as Internet bridge it's a more complex config).

You're talking about DHCP in ad-hoc connection... Do you setup a DHCP server on your computer (is this even possible)?

You said when you have other devices connected... this is not ad-hoc.

I think you try to connect the wrong way, sorry if I misunderstood but you have to provide more info for me to help.

As general advice:

Check for your ROM thread as initially their was a problem with all devices (with Android on HD2) having the same MAC (has been solved)

Start first to try to connect to a "normal" WiFi network

Make sur of the network config (try with basic b/g instead of n, n+...)

First step could be to setup a basic b/g network with DHCP enable, SSID broadcast, no security (wep,...): the kind of network you have when you take your access point out of the box.

No other advice... hope this will help.

Check the IP you have on your phone when connected. If it's kind of 169.xxx this can't work. It's auto IP from the device itself.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
thanks for the response mate. Unfortunately, there are not many unsecured "routed" wifi connections available where i am to test - thats why i have to rely on the laptop to feed internet to my phones through an adhoc network.

let me explain what im doing:

im currently trying to use internet sharing from my laptop on my phones - i have 2 android phones, an aria and an HD2 - both of which connect to the internet through an ad-hoc wifi connection to the the laptop which has LAN internet connection.

the only way to connect is by issuing each device a static IP

eg. laptop - 192.168.0.1,

aria - 192.168.0.3,

HD2 - 192. 168.0.2

whenever i try to use DHCP i get "obtaining IP address" from the phones until it auto-disconnects.

using a static IP-Config, the aria connects and browses effortlessly. But the HD2 wont. Just says "connected" but the pc says "waiting for peers to connect" and doesnt feed any data to the HD2. Additionally, i found out that if the aria is already connected while attempting to connect the HD2, the aria gets kicked from the net..

if it helps, my rom is CMN V_2.0.. its the only one that gets me "connected", so to speak..
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Then I will not be very helpful as I seldom use ad-hoc and bridge connection.

I connect my HD2 to my home network only (works in WEP or WPA anyway).

Just what I know:

1/ for ad-hoc you can't use DHCP (or you may have to activate a server on your laptop, this will add complexity to your setup)

2/ ad-hoc is only between 2 devices (1 laptop and 1 phone for ex), it could explain that when you connect the HD2 the other one is "kicked out".

3/ On your laptop you have to bridge your connections. Anyway, if with another device you can connect and broose, then your laptop setup has to be ok.

4/ if you're connected you may find a good IP in the HD2 (anyway if you use fix IP it has to be ok).

5/ to connect to a server you need a DNS. this is maybe what is missing. Usually when you connect to an access point you use the "AP IP". Not sure it can work here.

Try to manually put the DNS address in your HD2.

Just to make one test:

a/ from your laptop "ping" an Internet server (xda for ex).

--> Start menu, type "cmd", in the cmd windows type "ping server_name"

b/ from your HD2 try to connect with the IP instead of the server name.

This is the puprose of a DNS, to give your device the IP of a server.

NB: to find the DNS server used by your laptop:

In cmd type "ipconfig /all" it will give some info, you may find your DNS in it.

Sorry, no other idea...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
I read again what you write and I think you can forget my previous post.

The answer from your laptop is different with the two phones.

I don't think it's a DNS problem.

Sorry, I will be useless! Hope someone with the same network config will help.

My home network is totally different.

If it's specific to your rom you can try to check in your ROM's post if other have the same problem. If no, try to ask there is someone has the same connection setup.

Edit: check this link, it seems that many people with non-sense build has problem with WiFi (I use sense build, always):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=907670
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Vylle:
i would use a sense build but it seems all of them take up quite a lot of space from internal storage - im always left with 500-400Megs from the 1GB of space

its just odd because when i had a G1 (before i got my HD2) it connected effortlessly as well.. even more so, both aria and g1 could be connected to my laptop's adhoc simultaneously

OOOOHHH!!! i just rememberd hearing something about internet pass-through, but im not sure how ti works.. i will give it a try

Hi,

I just tried flashing new ROM and now the Clockwork Recovery does not work anymore. I can go to Bootloader then select Recovery to be in Clockwork but at there whenever I select a menu such as Wipe data or Install zip, etc.. I get a blank screen, it totally not work.

So please tell me how to re-install it or even remove it as well. Any helps appreciated!

Thanks.
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
make sure you're not pressing the power button when selecting something, press trackball, lols.
[Wildfire General] ramdroid77:
on the first menu when you select "recovery" you have to use the power button to select something.

in the next menu the track ball is used instead.

this is confusing, but this is usually explained in all tutorials, so next time just be careful with reading ;)

I activated mine via that number fine couple of days ago. Try a few times, yo may get a operator that will do it.

If they keep saying that, its likely that they have changed policy so that you have to contact HTC directly, If that's the case you are **** out of luck and will not be able to activate your phone.

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] welki1979:
This is kind of the point! Each WP7 'authentic' device has a certificate on it to make it 'authentic', if a device is not manufactured with WP7 on it as standard or is distributed by an OEM before the certs are registered with MS then there is no certificate for it....which is why it asks for activation...quite simple really.

I got my code this morning from the US activations number. A very friendly girl called Rachael took my name, Windows Live ID my *FAKE* IMEI number, mobile number, postcode and country details and 15 mins later I had a code.

In my case the code only works if you do the registry changing prior to activation but have had no issued at all so far and am quite liking the new lease of life my HD2 has now, will be great to dual boot with Android.
