[G Tablet General] stanglx:
Ive done that but I guess you can say unfortunately I have had only clean shutdowns since then... The last corruption I had I formatted my data and cache partitions before I ran logcat.... Of course thought of that afterward....

Generally if any has FCs, etc. etc. run a logcat and post it here... we will be able to confirm this...

We could change the way the partitions are created and add a sync which will further reduce chances BUT will take a performance hit...

I am very surprised though as the EXT3 filesystem is very resilient to dirty shutdowns (more than EXT4)...

I reviewed the out of the box framework source on the google GIT and technically if a reboot command is given a clean shutdown is performed via the framework... but the widget on the shutdown screen I suspect is not calling the method properly or is not being called at all... All speculation at this point... But for sure there is corruption occurring..

Since the last corruption I switch over to pershoots kernel... Even though his kernel seems to be a little slower he seems to have included the latest drivers which other items relate to data integrity (im reading into the release notes).

NEO: The first thing I did when I got my device install CW, Vegan... Updated Kernels also... Never had an issue until the first time (yes about a day ago) I used the reboot feature of Vegan. That corrupted my user data. I suspect if you have not been performing clean shutdown then you are just lucky. Linux, like any other OS, even with Journaling if you do not perform a clean shutdown you will surely encounter SOME corruption. Typically the corruption is re-mediated by the the file systems integrity controls. You dont even know it happened... 1 in 1000 the integrity controls can not overcome the significant loss of data and thus results in crashes, etc. Some times the corruption happens in areas where are lightly used thus why you would get a Market Reset... that data is easily replaceable on the fly. Core components that require subsystem to run are not replaceable and thus why I had to reformtat. What upsets me is that this failsafe is not working properly most likely as its far too frequent.... I too suspect it has something to do with CW.

But again.. between the wrongly placed power switch, the unprovoked reboots (ie viewsonic screen showing when trying to wake up the device) and the reboot button possibly not performing a proper shutdown will sure increase the chances in a wider distribution of users. So it may not be a CW issue and just some poor design.

When I have time today I will verify if the reboot function performs a clean shutdown... if anyone has the time please post the logcat... Im going to be running around today and will try to get to it..
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
AFAIK they're running yaffs ATM. Next move is to ext4...

Read some articles about this several weeks ago, apparently many apps do not properly flush file caches. One of the articles was a Google developer post about file corruption along with their API method which did a cache flush prior to a close, then a bit later was the Google indication that they were planning to move to ext4 FS to further help alleviate the problem.
[G Tablet General] Neoprimal:
That's my point. How many times since we've had our Android and smart phones have we had situations where they are turned off or rebooted without the proper procedures? Power drains till they die, they drop and reboot, we clog them up with stuff or some app drives them nuts and they reboot or shut off....Yet you rarely if ever hear about a phone's data being 'corrupted' with stock software. Sure it may happen with official OTAs etc, but never just off-the-bat like what's happening with the G-Tab. But it's not happening to everyone either so I'm just looking to see if there's a pattern.

Even since the G1 and newer phones, you don't really hear about or see file corruption issues on stock software with these phones. It's when users start going to ROMs that you hear of issues cropping up. That's not to say it doesn't happen at all at stock, I just think we're seeing it in a more concentrated fashion here because of all the formatting, re-partitioning, etc. At first you hear, 4GB is a great partition size, then you hear there are problems so move to 2048, then you hear 256MB swap, then no swap since Android doesn't use it. Then dataloop for speed, then no dataloop because of critical issues. Rules and instructions change almost on a daily basis. I think it's more than these poor flash drives can take :)I find sometimes it's good to keep it simple.

I owned a Vibrant for a while...decided it was a PoS when at stock I was seeing bad lag (because of Sam's terrible FS). People said...do the speedhack, it'll be fast!, but what was the caveat? Having to reboot the phone almost weekly, sometimes several times a week, and people were seeing what? Data corruption. That's not for me. Give me something that is lag free (doesn't have to be a bullet train, just don't skip on video or audio and make sure my live wallpaper and drawer animation is fluid and I'm happy!). Point being....keeping it simple may help to alleviate some of the issues. If people are seeing these problems with stock, then you're absolutely right and it would be a point of contention that the failsafe isn't working right.

Otherwise it seems the stock OS on these things are able to self correct in most situations and it may just be some of the many tweaked features in these ROMs doing something it shouldn't - or, I may just be very lucky indeed.

I'm still dying to get the OTA - I haven't seen one since 3899 yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] jonnypb:
Currently got an old 8gb micro sd card in my tab and have now got a new 16gb one that I want to use.

I currently have some apps, games and file on the 8gb card. Is there an easy way to transfer everything onto the new card so that the games etc still work.

Can I just drag and drop everything across??

Thanks
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
should be able to although you may wish to remove your apps from the sd card before copying the files (i think the files are encrypted or hidden)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Allen Mead:
Nine time out of 10, the phone rings and plays the ring tone but, every now and then, it rings but with no sound as if the phone's volume had been muted. (have not tried it with a different ringtone yet...).

Not done anything different with the phone apart from connecting my plantronic voyager pro +. Even with headset connected, you can still here the phone ring independently.

Have looked around on the site and it would seem that the only other experience of this is with the headphone socket which, in this instance is irrelevant.

Anyone got any ideas??
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] Allen Mead:
whoops, can a mod please move this thread to the general section.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Themes and Apps] majorassface:
Allen, a while back I was running in to an issue where my phone would lose all sound, I would only notice when a phone call would come in and I happened to notice the flashing light. It turns out that for some reason if I reboot my phone with the headset still plugged in the phone would lose its sound until I unplugged the headphones and rebooted again. I think the problem has since been resolved but I'm still in the habit of unlpugging my headphones before I reboot. By any chance are you rebooting before you notice this happening?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
I seem to get amazing speeds in my phone using SpeedTest.net's Android app but when I setup WiFi Tether to my laptop and try the same test from SpeedTest.net, the speed drops dramatically.

in-Phone speed: 6-7mbps

laptop speed over Wifi Tether: 1.4-1.5mbps

Is there something I'm doing wrong or missing? What kinds of speeds are you guys getting?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:
Sounds like your phone speed is from Wimax or Wifi.

Wireless tether only uses 3G. Which would put it about right.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
What? I thought we could do Wifi Tether with 4G and that was the point of having 4G?

That would be retarded if we had to do it over 3G.

When I Wifi Tether, my 4G icon is still on.

Also, I'm using Myn's ROM. I tested it before and after applying the "remove speed throttling" hack and both results in the same poor results.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JoePete58:
Im having this same issue... wtf.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joemaldo:
Well the data governor hack dosent make 4g or 3g any faster it just removes the overall data cap that sprint sets. I too have noticed a distinct difference in speed with wifi tether and I asked about this before m, being told that wifi tether uses 4g but from my own personal findings is that the phone gets preety warm when using tether and the warmer it gets say above 90 degrees the performance sucks. I put the phone in my window sill and get that temp to about 75 it works flawlessly. Idk if this is the correlation that were missing but it sure would be nice to know for sure if it is using 4g or not
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bcarter2000:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Hmm, we may have to design liquid cooling systems to run 4G and WiFi Tether! :D

Are you getting faster speeds when your phone is cool?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mando41:
im getting a big decrease when I tether as well. (4g speeds)

in-Phone speed: 9-11mbps

laptop speed over Wifi Tether: 2.5 - 5mbps
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pscalett:
How are you guys getting such high speeds on your phone? I'm in a 4G area and I don't think I've ever seen more than 3mbps...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Neo3D:
Could be any number of things, signal strength, time of day, etc.

My best speed so far:

I get that speed about 25% of the time. Normally, it's more between 4-6/7mbps

But SpeedTest.net scores are DECEIVING. I think all these ISP's have figured out that we use it for testing so they optimized somehow to score higher. I don't get anywhere near those speeds when streaming from SouthparkStudios.com.

I wish SpeedTest would change their algorithm or whatever so ISP's can't rig their scores.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegh0st:
nice thread to have found - I was wondering how some people had such high speeds also - the best I have gotten is 5 mbps myself - think I have gotten 1.5 mbps up once but usually 900 kbps to 1 mbps if 4G is on - had full bars above the 4G once and still didn't test that great.

btw Neo3D do you mind letting me know what that blue icon is in your status bar? just wondering (never seen that)

also just this past friday I ran tests with a friend's iphone 3 and wifi tether is definitely slow slow slow (has the latest and greatest wifi security etc. but slow)

we ran the same tests using barnacle wifi tether and everything was much faster - has less security as in it only uses WEP (if you configure it) that I could find (not saying I didn't miss something tho - I am still digging into the program)

as for tests, we did netflix streaming and downloaded a 20 MB app and timed it (big difference in how long it took) and used speedtest.net app (big difference showed in this app to)

if anyone knows of a reason why more people don't use barnacle please let me know - I always see everyone referencing and saying to use wireless tether

hey i have got same problem help us..
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jaaystott:
ONLY USE THIS METHOD, IF YOU ARE HAPPY WITH WOLRD WIDE ENGLISH FROYO BEING INSTALLED

Could possibly be because your using the wrong RRU or something like that, I'm no expert and I'm not sure what your exact problem is, however I know I had that problem and this is how I fixed it.

1) Download this version of Froyo 2.2 (Latest Release From HTC)

2) Rename it to PB99IMG and place it on the Root of you SDCard on your phone.

3) Boot into HBoot by Holding Vol-Down while Powering On

4) HBoot should automatically find the PB99IMG file and start to update your phone, this will take around 30 seconds for HBoot to get ready, and find the file so be patient and don't touch anything.

Hope this helped :) that version of Froyo isn't rootable, so after installing search for the Desire Downgrade package on XDA for a Downgrade to Eclair which is Rootable.

*Make sure that the PB99IMG file is in .zip format, otherwise it won't work.

** The file you are downloading was made by HTC, but is hosted on a website called Shipped-Roms. They have a rubbish server (to the UK anyway) so you may experience slow downloads.

*** If you have any other problems, do not hesitate to ask me.

**** The black screen you experienced was an Error Recovery screen. Very rare, but happens in worse case scenario.

*****The thread you used to try and make your own fix, used a file designed for a different scenario. It was a wrong RRU.

******If you get an Incorrect CID Error whilst running the update you need a Goldcard, follow my easy tutorial here.
