Hey all,
I'm have problems with my camera... Everytime I try to take a picture, the following message appears;
Unable to capture.
Not enough memory.
36001:111:0
But yet, both my sd card and internal memory have a lot of space available. Yet, the cam stopped working a few days ago on its own. Any fix for that???
At the same time, can someone tell me how to change the folder where to save the pictures? Like redirecting them to my sd card??? I've done that b4, but I forgot how.... Things we forget sometimes...
Also, I'd like to use something like SPB backup to backup the information on my phone, especially my contact list in the internal memory. I want to upgrade to TNT 19213 Vanilla. It has WM6.1, which is mainly what I want.
Thanx,
Phil
dude, are you writing a blog or something?
PIM backup is what you need to backup your contacts.
use the task manager to kill what ever process is draining your ram for the camera.
search for those.
reply...
Hey SVI,
Thanks for the heads up. And no, I'm not writing a blog... Just asking a friendly community for some good advice!
I'll check Pim backup and see what I get. By the way, I've tried task manager, cut out all the op's that drain power to the whole unit! And it still gives me the message...
Well, I suppose that it might fix the problem if I'd change rom. But for now, I'd like to have the camera handy, capture that funny moment - for kicks!
Anyone got a patch available?
Phil
p.s.- how about redirecting the pics or vids to my sd card... How do we do that?
on the camera options menu. camera settings tools options.
if you cant do that, then the camera options package is broken.
flash different rom.

Yeah in the tools there is a choice of where to store. Are you using the original rom or a flashed? it may be a problem with the flashed rom. AFter unlocking always flash your carriers rom (WM5) before flashing a new rom as some roms seem to leave residue that corrupt you new. Also SPL of 3.06 will speed your boot and i like the radio 2.71 as there is not missed calles bug. That and 2.19 are the best.
Have fun flashing!
When I put m2d onto my elfin, I had no problems, except when i go to the weather tab. It simply says "unable to retrieve data for selected city" even though I didnt select one and i cant click on "add location" in the menu.
Any ideas of how I can get around this and actually add a location?

What version of m2d do u use? do u have custom cities added?
Im not sure what version of M2D it is, because it was included in the ROM that I put on. It was THIS ROM.
I have tried with and without custom cities.
As well as the manilla2d.exe that comes with the custom cities fix,
but it crashed whenever I went onto the weather tab ¬_¬ when using the custom fix .exe
Can I assume that you read this ?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439399
Yes Ive tried that out.
But im not trying to add a custom place to the list, im just trying to choose a place from the list to begin with.
Cris,
Have you checked out the Rom thread to see if its a rom issue, or pm the chef for advice. Might be worth trying a reflash though.
not being able to use the weather is a small thing, but its annoyed me enough that im giving in. im gonna do a hard reset and then if that doesnt work, ill re-flash.
lol, ok let me know how you got on
Well, Ive done a hard reset as I said I would.
It worked fine.
But then, being the ideot that I am, I mucked it up again
I tried what is on THIS thread, which is a tut on how to add custom locations.
When I tried it out, it said it couldnt download the information for this location, and It also wont let me remove the location, or add another.
If i use the manilla.exe from the thread I linked to, it just closes M2D whenever i open the weather page & just goes to "tap here to start manilla 2D"
Ultimately what I want to know, is where is the information stored that tells M2D which locations are actually being used? If i could edit this, I wouldnt have to hard reset again, or loose the weather function.
Did you just edit the xml file or go the whole hog as per scotchua's thread?
i only edited the xml.
plus, removing my custom location didnt help either.

Ok give me your location, and ill edit the xml file for you. Then you can just use t.c as usual to overwrite. Is the weather with normal cities working now at the moment?
well, i have got it working, as of about 5am this morning.
and ive also found that the settings of what locations are to be user are in the registry at:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE>software>htc>manilla2d>weather:
then its goes into folders counting up in numbers for the different locations you use :3
Nice one Cris, give urself a pat on the back
*pats self on back*
*slaps self round the face*
now, whenever i go onto the messaging tab, M2D freezes and I have to soft reset my elf ¬_¬
WILL THERE EVER BE A TIME WHEN MY PHONE WORKS ENTIRELY??
:'(
lol man thats heavy, have you altered anyhting else at all, any manila files? play with the reg? Have you posted anything in that particular rom section?
sadly the ROMs creator doesnt reply much, and everyone else simply comments on things they want from the creator ¬_¬
and the only things ive changed is add a custom location to the weather, chance the location of a couple of images on the home tab (the clock basically) ive edited which tabs are enabled or disabled..
plus ive played about with the image files :/
ive edited some of them, or used files from other themes and copied them across to the windows directory using total commander, because manilla 2d customizer never works on my phone, no matter what rom im using (another problem :/ )
but yeh, when i searched for any issues other people have had with the messages tab crashing, the only thing i read about was someone who had trouble copying the files. and ive had an error at one point.
(i have re-coppied my haxord image files across withe no problem since mind)
so yeh, im a bit lost as to what it could be
mmm werid man... i hate saying it, but you considered flashing a different rom? Kinda defeatist (which is why i hate sayin it) but i cant understand what your doing wrong (if anything)
thing is, i dont really look through my texts that much, so having it disabled isnt a big loss. I might remove the email tab too, as thats prety much unused too.
it just would have been nice for it to work
plus, its so satisfying scrolling across when you have more tabs :3
also, i must add that im not gonna change this ROM for AGES :O
its the quickest ROM i have ever used, and ive used plenty
plus, i had been trying to create a theme and then i randomly came across this ROM and saw in the screenshots, the exact image of what i wanted my theme to be like, so stopped making the theme and downloaded the rom.
now my phone is made of sexy

I understand this directory has something to do with Bluetooth.
There are ten ~6.7 MB files in that directory with names like core.872 and core.19735.
I did a nandroid backup and then removed them. Everything seems to be OK, but I don't use BT for anything.
Any idea what these are? Could this be related to the BT ROM leak?

I wish people wouldn't call it a "ROM leak"... it just sounds so silly. ROMs don't leak and the ROM in the Hero isn't leaking. *SOMETHING* is just occupying data space.
Having said that... those are core dumps. Weird, I'd have expected Android to disable core dumps. The phone doesn't have file(1), so it's a little difficult to tell what dumped, but the number in the extension is the PID of the faulting process.
Mine doesn't have any, or I'd yank one over to my desktop and investigate it.
They *are* taking up space in /data, which is going to make the phone look like it has less storage space available (the number in the Settings app will go down). Erase them, they're useless to you.
It might be interesting to search the whole phone with find(1)... that at least is there (or maybe it's in the busybox MoDaCo installs ^_^) and see if there are any other dump files hanging around.

Great info, thanks. I wonder if they're related to bluetooth crashes since they're in the btips directory?
I searched for other files named core* but nothing looks like a core dump. There's a core.xml and a bunch of "coredump_filter" in proc directories and that's about it.
I think leak is an appropriate term though. Applications that have memory leaks consume memory that they can't release. This is similar, just with the onboard flash.
I probably know the answer already but hoping...is there anyway to delete these core dump files in the btips folder without having to root the phone? Could an app or script on non-rooted device be able to just delete those files? I'm surprised there's no way through the phone to clear system dumps/cache, etc.
Looking for a way since a lot of people have this problem but not many will be comfortable rooting.
Hi folks
I hope this isnt too obvious, I have searched for an answer and looked around quite a bit before posting and I think its a new question!
Im fairly new to android, and have a galaxy s2 running cyanogenmod7 and a kindle fire running ICS.
The Galaxy s2 has an SD card, and Ive noticed a lot of folders in there from apps I installed once, had a look, then deleted. An example of this is foursquare - I used to use it a lot with my iphone 4, but havent really enjoyed the android experience and to be honest Im a bit tired of the general experience so I uninstalled.
My question is, what is the best way to remove them? Should I just delete them? How do I know that they are actually not needed - the foursquare example is fairly obvious, but what if it was called something obscure like fsq? How would I know?
On a PC, you can get utilities which scan and advise you whether folders are redundant - is something similar available for Android?
As you can tell, I switch roms etc quite quickly and am likely to carry on doing so until I get the set up that is right - I dont want my filespace filling with rubbish! I know I could do a complete reformat but that seems a drastic step and isnt always possible.

I just asked my self this question the other day, if you delete an app folder and you still have the app instaled the app should automaticaly put its folder back in the SD card, its pretty much automatic. But not all the time, if you erase everything on your SD card and put it back in your phone, your phone will automaticaly put the files in the SD card, so its the same with apps, if the folder is gone then it will put a new one back in it to make it function correctly, I'm not sure about system stuff, I normaly don't touch that stuff like CWM folders

Thanks for this, its useful info. I think Im going to just make backups then delete a few folders at a time. I cant do that much damage, starting from scratch wont take me too long if I completely mess things up!
Phil
There is no automatic way to detect which folder on the sdcard (/mnt/sdcard/) belongs to which app.
You will have to google each folder or look into it and hope it will give you a clue to which app it belongs.
If the folder would have been created in /mnt/sdcard/Android/data/packagename...
It would have been automaticly uninstalled.
This problem inspired me to write the App "SD Maid" which helps you clean up the phone. Unfortunately it doesn't delete those folders either, as there is just no safe way to determine to which app it belongs... for now...
So I selected photo to delete and it somehow selected albums. So now Almost all my important pictures and videos are gone. I downloaded several apps and got back a good bit of pictures but I did not recover any videos. I read several pages about rooting the phone to actually get all the stuff back. Is this something that needs done? Also doesn't rooting wipe your phone so would that get rid of the deleted items? I am so devastated those pictures were my life and like an idiot I didn't back them up. Any ideas on how I can recover them?
Any ideas? I read an article saying you can root the phone and still recover deleted items but want to see what you guys think.

If your files were stored internal there's a big chance that the rest might've got overwritten by other applications. On SD-Card you might be able to get more back but if you worked with it (meaning storing other files or probably even editing), it will most likely overwrite them.
Since every phone behaves different I can't say what you should use. I can only say what I read the most people suggesting.
They talk about the program recuva, which runs on your computer. After connecting your phone to your pc, they say you should run a 'deep scan'.
I never used it myself so I can't say if it works. You'd have to search how to use it.
(Program Link: Piriform - Recouva)
Rooting might also help in your favor, because those apps have more access to the storage and can perform actions normal apps can't do in there rather limited workspace.
But rooting also means writting/modifying data on your phone which could use the space where the remainings of your files are stored (deppends if they are internal or external/sd-card).
But from my expirence on pc, chances are very slim that you get all of your files back. I accidentally formatted my hard disk and after force stopping the process I only could restore about ~30% of my files (and most of them were corrupted).
You see formating or deleting doesn't actually delets stuff.
You could see all your stored files as a book and the index is that what you can see in your file manager. When you delete something it doesn't touches the file at first, it only deletes the entry in the index that a file was at that point in your storage and tells the system that place is free to use again. So apps will begin using that free space. After that it becomes almost imposible to get the file back.
