Hey,
since a few weeks, my battery-time is very poor,
so Looked in the battery-tab and realized, that I have 68% battery-usage by "Media".
After a little bit of research and searching that this bug is very common,
I formated my SD and tried to kill this bug, but the battery-drain was as before (68%).
So I also cleared the internal SD and reseted the phone ... but nothing happens .
Now the only Folder, which contains data is .thumbnails, but I cant delete it.
Can anyone help me ?
If you just want to stop the batterydrain, goto Settings->managa apps-> download manager -> wipe data/clear cache
If you want to delete the folder:
Code:
adb shell
>su
>rmdir [insert directory with path here]
If this doesn't help, take a look here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=47868557#post47868557
thank you ... i tried rm -Rf (like on linux ^^)
but i simply killed the process after clearing the cache now it is around 1-5%

Hey, okay so I'm having this annoying problem with the android market not downloading my apps. I would click install, then it will say your item will be downloaded, then it will start downloading but then disappear and stop. What's even more weird is that it doesn't happen for all apps, some of them do download. I have tried going to settings, market, and clear data and cache. Also, the same thing with the download manager still no luck. I am running a custom rom (Stock Turbo) however, this problem was persistent in my original stock rom too. I think it has something to do with the new android market. 2.2.7. Any ideas? Thanks. Btw, I have a HTC Evo.
Update
Hey, okay so I was reading, and I discovered the with the custom rom I have the dalvik is moved to the /cache space. Apparently, the market also uses the /cache space when temporarily downloading apps. That could explain why I can only download smaller apps. So could this be the problem? Also, is there a way to move the dalvik back to the phone's memory, or am I better off just flashing another rom?
Wow, okay, so I'm replying to my own posts ahha, but anyway, I looked in logcat, and realized, that I get the error d/downloadmanager: downlaod aborted not enough free space. So definitly have to do with the /cache right?
my phone did this to me before i even rooted. try clearing the market cache and restarting.

I had this same problem a few months ago and did find a fix somewhere online. I have the link saved on my laptop at home, if no one posts it before I get home Ill post it here for you.

Yes, if your /cache partition is full, it will cause issues downloading from the market. I saw that at one point.
Since you mentioned logcat, I assume you have the SDK and adb ready to go. You can confirm if your cache dir is full with the following (from windows. You can also drop "adb shell" and run it from terminal on the device).
adb shell df -k /cache

Hey thanks for the info. Actually, I just got a little impatient and went on, and installed another custom rom where the dalvik is not moved to the cache portion. That seemed to do the trick. With this new rom I have 152 mb of space available in the chache. (checking from adb)

Thanks, I appreciate the help, but I solved my problem by installing another custom rom without the dalvik moved to the /cache. Seems to be working now. lol
Hey for some days now i have not been able to instal any apps, then i checked how much space i have left on the phone and it was 2mb. now here is the thing, i got 8 apps and they are together 5mb... I have tried to delete catch stuff etc and i got nothing more, so what happend to my storage space?
Appbrain
-Create an appbrain account
-Install appbrain on your phone
-Sync
-Go appbrain website and click 'My Apps'
Do this to double check what you have installed.
If you're rooted, what rom are you using?
To clean my cache, i use Cache Cleaner NG.
Copy paste from another post i just made.
This has always been a problem with my desire until i found out about AlphaRev. Now i've got 166MB free internal space. My suggestion is to install AlphaRev and modify the partition tables as listed in the tutorial on alpharev.nl. I would have posted a link but i can't post links yet.
From terminal emulator or adb shell type this (root required)
su
du -md 2 /data > /sdcard/data.txt
Then open your favourite file explorer and take a look at data.txt on your sdcard to find the culprit. In the file should be a list of directories and their size, just look for the biggest one.

Root your phone, and the go and Install Starburst ROM, its super fast, stable and I have 1.7gb of internal storage space to install apps
Make sure you have a class 4 SD card or better, trust me it will be the best thing you have done to your phone.
P.S dont forget to backup all your apps and stuff.

Ive had this prob now for a while and its driving me crazy! I have searched for queries
here but cant find the exact problem or working solution.
Problem:
I want to install a program from the Market. I click to install, but as soon as I hit the
button it throws me back to the main Market page. The download starts in
top Android bar. It downloads to 100% (Ive checked the data usage and it does download all)
but then disappears! No error message, nothing installed.
The funny thing is that if I 'open' the download icon on the top bar. I can see the green
download bar. If I click this there is no option to cancel the download(!) instead clikcing on it
it opens up another app on Android Market! Weird!
Same happens with wifi or on 3G. I have about 30mb free at moment.
I tried emptying all possible caches on all apps can think of
***Rebooted
***Unmounted SD card - tried download and install with or without SD card
***Taken SIM card out nad battery
***Cant downgrade Market, its 2.3.4 version
***Tried different apps, big and small. Nothing is installing now...
Nothing seems to help!
Depending on your Rom and hboot your /cache partition might be full, so you could try to reboot into recovery and wipe the cache-partition. If I recall correctly, that's where market usually (i.e. this depends on the rom you are using - some use the sd-card to cache market downloads to allow hboots with small /cache partion) downloads and stores the apps prior installation.
Also deleting market data and cache might be worth a try. Actually, try this first. ^^

Hi Tillus. Thanks for quick reply!
Im on 'stock' rom. Gingerbread 2.3.3 the official one from HTC. Can I still go to the recovery mode?
I have emptied the Market data and cache dozens of times. I went even to android-secure folder deleting all the old unused stuff. Nothing seems to help... its weird: Market starts to download but it just vanishes after 100%!
hmm, I don't think, you can wipe the cache-partition when using stock-setup and I don't think /cache is the culprit, because in stock-setup the /cache-partition is quite large.
But you can still check: Download a terminal-app and check the output of 'df -h'. There is a line saying Filesystem: '\dev\block\mtdblock04' and Mounted on: \cache and the size, used and available space on this partition.
Edith Says: Download a terminal-app...
Can you install apks without using the play store?
Hi
Ive got a terminal app. How do I check the output df -h? Sorry im bit novice using it.
I typed in \dev\block\mtdblock04 but it says permission denied. Mind let me know what to type exactly?
Many thanks!
just type df -h . Let's see, if it works, without root-permissions.
Sry, my last post was confusing
Doesn't seem to work on my phone...
I tried:
df -h
No such file or directory
df-h
Permission denied
'df-h'
Permission denied
More ideas love to hear!
Hmm, I'm out. Sorry I couldn't help. :/
Code:
busybox df -h

Android is based on Linux. You dont use a backslash on Linux.
Hi
I tried that busybox df -h, but it says:
Busybox: permission denied
Is this because of stock Rom, or because a fault?
Atm I can't download and install any more apps from Market...
Menu>Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data
And try again after a restart.
This exact path doesnt exist: Menu>Settings>Applications>Market>Clear data
The following does: Menu-Settings-Applications-Manage Applications-All-Market->Clear data
This one I have done dozens of times now, as well as claering the Market Updater and Download Manager. Restarted, taken off battery, SIM, SD card.. nothing seems to help.
Im gutted...
Can't update/install anything ..
"Insufficient Space" or "Out of Space" ...
what's crazy is that it seems that this only happens for apps i either already have or apps that I once had in the past (either that, or it's just random that I was able to install another file that was BIGGER than the update that said insufficient space).
I tried wiping cache, wiping dalvik cache, factory reset, and wiped my internal SD and let it rebuild itself.
Seemed fine until I finally got everything back to where it once was.
I'm going a bit crazy over this ... please help!! I've tried so many things. Why is this happening and how do I resolve this issue?

After finding these new threads, I'm trying to mess with lucky patcher, then i'll try reinstalling gapps if failed. I'll return here and update.

-- CURRENT: Trying to search for odex files with EF File Explorer (+Root Explorer RW), but still saying "File cannot be deleted"? I just searched for "odex" .. it's safe to delete all odex files, right?

This is because you have an ODEX file hanging around from your previous app install.

Isn't this the one that's solved by going into your accounts in the main settings and removing your Google account and the readding it?

Nope, didn't work.
BUT as for the odex guy , this seems promising! I found odex files, but can't delete. Access denied using ES File Explorer (the two root explorer options are both +RW). How come i can't delete these?

Hey man, any idea how to delete these without getting "program cannot be deleted" error? I thought ES File Explorer would do the trick.
Also, should i just do a search for "odex" then delete all odex files?
I'm seeing program-bcd7-LOTS_OF_CHARACTERS.dex.odex from /data/data/
No! Delete those and you'll probably not be able to boot. You'll wind up having to reflash your Rom or firmware.
What are you currently running? Rooted?

If you want to, ONLY delete odex files for any app you've already uninstalled. Root is required to do this though.
