very strange issue has happened.
I'm pretty sure it started happening after a (finished correctly btw no errors) nandroid backup.
since I did a nandroid yesterday, my One X has been lagging whenever opening apps or accessing stored info e.g. bookmarks. ONce it loads whatever it wants to load, back to normal speed, but on switching to an app not in memory etc. it takes AGES to load e.g. 5-10 seconds for whatsapp, 10 seconds to bring up downloaded apps list, etc (before the nandroid it was ~3 seconds to do the same task). ALso e.g. in chrome, after it loads, there is 1-2 second lag in hitting settings, bookmarks, then another few mkore seconds for bookmarks to load.
Also I copied ~15gb of mp3s across and that seemed to cause issues as well. e.g. rebooting takes around 15 minutes to settle down.
I've scanned my internal SD card, no errors. Fixed permissions and zipaligned.
Is there any way I can check the integrity of my internal partitions?
note I have had nandroid screw up my system before when trying a nandroid without enough free space, it caused the same problem except 10x worse i.e. unusable phone, I had to RUU to fix, no amount of wiping and reflashing would do the trick. Nasty
update: something is defo messed but what.
In Antutu, rwrite/read speeds to storage re 10/35Mb, but I only get 35 for IO score!!!!
RUU fixed it....
I've sent below msg to CWM devs
Hi Khoush/bronco
I've made an alarming discovery with CWM. THis happened on both 5.8.4 and 5.8.7 on my Optus branded (australian) one x
If I make a nandroid, my IO become sluggish as, nothing short of RUU restore will fix it. It completes successfully and everything.
I just had a perfectly working HTC One X running leedroid, made a nandroid, and boom its sluggish accessing any stored info (ie not in RAM). Antutu shows IO score as 50!!!!!! Full flash w/ wipe, full format SD partition, does not fix. I have no idea what it could be.
I RUU back to stock and Antutu shows IO of 400. I flash leedroid over it and snappiness remains, antutu similar score. I am NOT going to nandroid it this time lol
My stock RUU is RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_Optus_AU_1.26.980.3_Radio_1.1204.90.13_release_251942_signed
This happened to be twice so I can say I was able to reproduce the error.

in manage applications all apps are stuck at "computing" and will of stop. It used to be fixed by restoring my phone to an earlier date but now it just doesn't work.
Apps2sd, disk usage, and unmounting the SD card do not work. Force closing.
In the market I cannot install or uninstall apps.
And when I restart ill lose access to the apps on my SD card. But I can access all info using a task manager or taking the card out and accessing it from my pc.
Is my internal memory failing?
I don't know what else to do Ive tried so much.
Restore backup factory reset SD card format etc.
Froyo 2.2 stock rooted.
Any ideas?,I'm desperate.
Thank you.
Wipe completely and try a different ROM like CM6. If you're still getting the same problem, then it's a hardware issue and you're hosed. Run the RUU at that point, and take it in to get a replacement, and hope for the best.
How long do you give it? If you have a lot of apps, it might just take a lot longer than your are expecting, since it has to load the data for everything. I'd recommend just giving it a little more time (unless you already do). Before Froyo, even with just a handful of apps it seriously took around 3 minutes to load that kind of information.
I've given it up to 45 minutes at times, several times after a recovery it would all fully finish computing, then after i install an app or something to that effect it seems it 'breaks' again.
I tried other ROMs and after the first few apps i begin to reinstall it does it again. So i took a break, recovered it and went to bed. This morning it seems to be doing fine and now i'm reading there were market issues with other people last night, could this be connected? Is the market that integrated into the phone that it could cause issues like this?
i'm emailing HTC for some advice because i can't find a specific google/android technical support email address about the issue.
ii'm in the same boat.all my apps are stuck on computing. i cant even unistall, or move apps. the only positive is that i can still run all my apps. but i cant install anything new as it stays stuck on installing and never installs the app. this seems like a problem with froyo.
Mine does this ever since I installed modInstallLocation, and moved a ton of stuff over to the SD card. If I ever have to reboot for some reason, or if I have to use the phone as a USB device, most of the time the apps never recover. Sometimes (rarely) a reboot fixes it, but most of the time I have to pull the battery, pull the card, reboot several times before it will finally get all my apps back. It seems completely random. I can't uninstall or install anything either until everything is back to normal. It happened again last night, and I still haven't gotten it to recover. I let the thing "compute" all night (7 hours) with no luck.
btw, this is my second sd card, so I don't think its bad.
UPDATE: I got them all back! I wiped the Dalvik cache from within Clockwork Mod, and about 4-5 minutes after I rebooted, there they were!!!
I bought my Wildfire S in Singapore. It's S-On so I can't do anything about internal memory issues yet. The phone only ever had about 30MB free at the most after me installing some very basic apps, and it constantly prevented new apps from being installed with that "Not enough memory" error. Then something began chewing up memory no matter what I did - and I tried everything mentioned on these and other forums. I've become a minor expert at messing with the SDK as a result. Eventually basic functions stopped working, and the phone started rebooting randomly because it was down to a few hundred kilobytes of free RAM. I almost - almost - threw the thing against a wall and went out and got another phone.
However, I have solved the problem to a point. I did a simple factory reset, and now with everything installed including Google+ and Facebook (which are memory hogs), and everything I can moved to the SD card, I'm sitting at around 75MB free constantly i.e. half the memory. The phone now runs as fast as it can (which is sluggish because it's the Wildfire S, but much better than it was), and I have no memory issues. It's not a Nokia N9 or an iPhone 4Gs, but it's not a bad little unit now.
TL;DR no matter where you bought your phone, do a factory reset. You'll be glad you did.
get cyanogen mod7 for ur phone a safe build and extract it with 7zip the use fastboot
fastboot flash boot boot.img
it contains recovery already now copy the zip downloaded to a root of sd card
sdcard/update/....zip
now boot into recovery factory data reset then wipe dalvik data and install zip from sd
here u go
free memory+
app2sd
I'm not sure what you mean (and haven't tried all that), but I'm fairly certain you can't over-write/boot any other system files on an S-On phone. It just won't work. Unless you S-Off the phone manually, or HTC release an unlocked bootloader, there's nothing you can do except what I've offered.
The temporary rooting via the SDK and Zerg file doesn't allow overwriting of the system files either. S-On is a *****.
Have you tried removing the security?
A factory reset did my WildfireS a great deal good. I'm wary of installing Facebook and merging contacts because I think that's what ate all the memory and made Contact Storage take so much space.
Now I have all the same apps installed from before (except Facebook) and I have 92mb free.
Where did you get your phone from t0lkien1?
Mine is a T-Mobile UK handset, and they put all their own extra rubbish on the phone, eating into they little 128mb that there is internatly. I think there as about 20mb free when I got it. Was running version 1.34
Even with my phone as S-ON i've managed to get the stock European rom 1.30 and it is close to 60mb free. Plus no more T-Mobile splash screens and apps. Such a difference.
I followed the instructions to install supernova up to the point where you have to go in recovery and run Data2sdInstaller.zip. Pressing volume down + power button all of a sudden doesn’t work and just starts the phone normally. What happened and what do I do?
Also when I go to the SD & Phone Settings it says available internal storage only 34.7MB even though the total space of the sd card has been decreased by 1gb (I made the ext4 partition 1gb). Is this related to the previous problem?
Finally I am noticing that even though I click power off, the phone stars instantly once I press the power button again as if it was hibernating but NOT actually being turned off. Is this normal? Is there a way to change this so the phone actually shuts down?
Thanks
Uncheck fastboot. It's found under one of the options on settings. Just look for it. That will probably solve both issues you are having with having trouble accessing recovery and not shutting down completely.
About the space issue or something you are talking about, you have to flash that data2installer zip to make use of the partition you created.
Thank you very much. It finally worked 1000MB for apps now but a little slow. I guess I need a faster sd card than the one that came with the phone.
Another question. I used titanium to backup my apps, but now the market crashes everytime I need to run it.
Code:
The application Market (process com.android.vending) has stopped unexpectedly
I googled it and found out people are saying you should change the language to English (US) which I have but it still crashes. What do I do?
I usually use Titanium to only restore my downloaded apps and never system apps. If I really have to restore system app, I usually restore just the data part. I never had issues with the Market that came with the rom although I believe it's still the old one?
I've been having a very odd bug that started to occur today.
Whenever I restart my phone, battery pull, or turn it off and on it resets to Jan 1st at 7:00pm. Some apps are not working, including BBM (msgs don't attempt to send), Snapchat (gives me a "Google Play not supported by device" notification), and Google Play (no connection error).
Because my phone is "in the past", whenever I send or receive texts they do not appear on the message log due to their time stamps being in the future (I assume so).
What should I do? Should I wipe and re-root. I'm running Liquid Smooth JB 4.2 ROM and have been for nearly 6 months for no issues. I wouldn't expect it to be the ROM.
Another thing, If I do wipe and re-root, how would I completely wipe everything minus the core things? Let me elaborate: I've been having a problem caused by CWM where it is creating multiple "0" folders (which are created to store all the files every time I install a new ROM). I think it's at about 7 files deep now due to switching ROMs daily about 6 months ago. This leads to a very messy internal SD with files all over the place. How would I fix this so it goes back to the normal file structure, pre-root? Do I have to go delete the files by hand on via my PC?
Another thing, what method is recommended to save my People contacts, messages, app data, etc (preferably on an external back up: PC or external SD)?
Thanks in advance!
So I restored my phone to stock after soft bricking it.
And after setting up all my apps & settings, everything was working 100%.
Then I uninstalled one-too-many system apps and it killed my framework.
So I restored a couple stock image IMG's and got things working fine again.
A couple hours later I was super happy with things, so I went ahead and copied all my music files from my computer onto the Pixel XL.
I left 3.1 GB of free space on the Pixel (32gb version) and went out for the night.
Quickly, I discovered that suddenly 3/4 of my installed apps would force close when opening them. At first I thought my attempt to restore IMG's was the issue. I tried rebooting, wiping app cache, uninstall/reinstall apps... nothing worked.
But just now I deleted my Music folder, rebooted and now have like 17 GB free space available.
And voila, all the apps that were force closing are now working fine.
I've had other phones with like 1GB free space (not recommended) that were still working fine. So what's going on here?
welcome to the future.... lol STREAMM specially when you only have 32gb. but your music library must be huge.
Stream = data usage when not on wifi.
Soon I'll have my android car stereo up and running with hundreds of GB's of storage, so this won't be a big deal later on.
Still kinda annoying though.

I did something very similar, you might have messed up your userdata partition, format it in fastboot (fastboot format userdata) and then reset up your phone and see if you still only have that tiny bit of space. When I messed it up, under storage in settings my system was calculated to be 19.99 gigs when I formated the userdata it dropped to under 5.5
Hope this helps and good luck!
I had to buy the 128GB just so I could have my 70GB of music available without the need to stream.
