Glitches on my Wizard...

Hey guys,
I'm having troubles recently with my Wizard. I am running TNT.19199 Rom. First of all, seems tyhe touch sensors on the phone don't seem to respond as quickly anymore.
1- Also, sometimes, the volume on the phone goes dead. Which means I cannot hear the ringers and when I press the buttons. Although I can hear the conversation. At this point, I have to restart the phone to get it to work.
2- I've been having problems with bluetooth lately. Is there some sort of patch to remedey that problem?
3- Sometimes people cannot hear me clearly on the other end of the conversation...
4- I'm still trying to find the programm that turns my SD card into a virtual Hard drive for the phone. I know you guys are telling it doesn't exist but I'm not making up what I saw back in January. Maybe it has to do with a prgram called Ramldr. Anyone know how it works? Much appreciated.
Thanks guys!
Phil

heads up???
Hey guys,
I'd really appreciate a little heads up on the problems I'm having....
Thanks,
Phil

most of your glitches may be solved by a rom change. try flashing a different rom. try some other rom.
the program you may be looking for is "WM5torage". this program will turn your phone's card into a virtual flash drive on the computer. run it, and connect the phone to the pc via usb.
unless you are lookig for ramdisk which turns part of your ram into a hard drive (not very usefull as these phones dont have enough ram as is.
Bluetooth issues: just about all of the 6.1s have these issues. look for a rom that has the least ammount of bluetooth "extras" as possible.
TOUCH: touch scroling is available on just about every rom these days. most people have different sensitivity settings. you can change these settings in the registry. search the wiki.
LAST AND MOST IMPORTANT:
since your issues relate to a specific rom, keep the complaints on that thread. If you can't get help there then flash a different rom. there is a new TNT rom out here, try that one. or the slim 6.1 or any other rom that has good reviews. read the whole tread before flashing so that you can make an inteligent descision about flashing the thing or not. (I hope I don't come off rude, just trying to be helpfull)

About the Drive...
Thanks SVI,
But you're missing my point. I'm not looking for my ram to become hard disk space, nor am I looking to turn my phone into an external HD for my computer. I'm looking to turn my SD card into Internal HD! 4 months now and I'm still certain there is a way. Back in January when I had gotten this phone, I saw a program capable in doing that.
This is no longer a search but has turned into a quest for all those that doubt this even exists...
Anyways, I'll be looking into a rom change at this point. But I've grown really fond of tnt.19199 since it's been the most reliable rom to date!

A little more...
Okay, I'm 1 step closer...
Not totally there, but I found this info for Nokia phones. I suppose it's for symbian OS.
What this dioes is boot from MMC card which in turn gives you the liberty to load as much stuff as you want on the phone. The MMC card acts as the internal memory and not just storage card.
http://maemo.org/community/wiki/howto_easily_boot_from_mmc_card/
By the way, I read up on WM5torage. Is it possible to tweak this prgram to work in favor of the pda instead of the computer?? What if the pda read the sd card as internal memory instead of the computer attached???
Just an idea...

[Q] G tablet Screen problems

Just bought the G Tablet and it worked well the first day (all stock). Now second and third days with it the touchscreen will not respond. The problem is more noticeable at the top of the screens. Some buttons require a harder press than the resistive screen types.
I saw a thread with a solution for running a calibrate screen at startup, but now I can't find it and I can't remeber which section of the forum it was located in.
I did not have a micro SD card available when I read the post and I did not save the URL to the post.
Could someone please help. I would like to do the ROM mods but until I can get the buttons to respond that would be impossible.
Thanks.

create an empty file named calibration.ini on the micro sd card. reboot.

You're looking for this thread, I believe.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=863741
What the last poster said will absolutely work, if you have a Micro SD card handy. If not, look for my post on page 8, there's an alternate TSCalibration file that works with calibration.ini placed in the internal SDcard area (i.e. /sdcard instead of /sdcard2).

TnT Lite 3.0.0 and the latest VEGAn beta 4 prototype (14) has this altered TSCalibration binary, also.

calibration.ini
Thanks to everyone who replied, and yes that was the post and thread I was looking for. The first time I tried to do this fix, I typed configuration.ini instead of calibration.ini. So I thought the fix did not work. Once I was able to see that I did not have the calibration.ini file in the root directory, I was able to put it there again and the calibration worked 100%. My touchpad was so bad I couldn't even get into the directories to see where I was in the directory.
I can see why many of these tablets are returned. VS, if you are reading this your tech people had no idea how to solve this.
It is hard to believe that something as simple as moving a required file over to the internal micro SD card could have saved lots of agony and Viewsonic has not caught this.
I bet this problem is the reason 60% or more of these tablets are returned!
This simple procedure did fix the problem for now. The posts I have read all indicated that the keys were somewhat sluggish. That was not the case for me.
The device would not respond at all to the touches on the Information button, network connection button, home short cut or any of the (soft) buttons at the top of the screen. I can't believe this procedure made so much difference. I could not get the web browser to even open the keyboard so I could type.
I thought for sure that the whole top half of the screen had a bad controller chip and the whole screen was going to die soon. I was very close to boxing this up and returning it to Sears. Now, I want to at least give it until after the new software is delivered (via update) before I decide. I live in Las Vegas and if I return this I am sure there will be newer, better, faster tablets on display at CES. This purchase was for Christmas so I still have plenty of time if I need to return it.
Now that the touchscreen is working again, I will try some of the other mods.
Thanks all again, Gary.

Proper Unmount USB Thumd Drive

I have been searching for the past couple of hours about how to properly eject a usb Thumb drive, but only seem to find people talking about how to get their Thumb/large external drives to even show up.
I was running Vegan 5.1.1 up until this morning, now I am running Vegan-Ginger Experimental , couldnt figure it out on either. If this has been covered, I apologize, please reply with link to thread
My 16GB OCZ ATV shows up just fine. I can access it from the Gallery or Music no problem, or go to file explorer and view everthing on it as well.
However, when I pull it, I get the error message about improper SD unmount. I tried putting the Gtab to sleep, waiting for the USB light to go off, but when I pull the thumb drive and unlock the tab, it still gives me the error.
I searched through the Storage settings, but no options to unmount. Searched through File Explorer but nothing there either.
Any hints or suggestions ??
again, sorry if this has been covered, let me know what thread to read and I am on it !!

Hand_Banana,
I don't know that I have ever read a definitive answer to this question.
But I know this from my own experiences, I never remove my miniSD card or
thumb drive without shutting down my G-Tablet. Doing anything else has
given me errors too. Not plug and play or even semi-plug and play like
Windows.
The USB setup on these things to my eye is very crude at best and until
someone builds or hacks an upgrade, all you can do is not take any chances.
Rev

Thank you very much for your reply.
I know everyone works really hard on these ROMs, and I am sure its only a matter of time before someone figures it out. I remember on my epic, it would give me an option to dismount, so again, I am sure its only a matter of time before it gets dialed in.
cheers

[Solved!] Apps disappear

Hello guys, and before you ask, yes i looked all over the place. So i'm coming from an HTC Inspire, originally had the mt3g and nexus one. I really liked the screen of my wife's infuse so decided to get one myself. so i found one on craigslist that was reasonably priced and was hoping i didn't get ripped off because i'm having issues.
So it wasn't rooted or unlocked, which i had to do myself, which wasn't really an issue, since i consider myself a very capable user. got cwm and even installed a couple different roms. one thing i noticed when installing them however is that apps would periodically disappear.
I couldn't figure out why it was doing it at first, and then upon my research found no one really that had a similar problem.
example. Going from the original rom, i installed R3volution. No problems, i loved it, however after installing Go Launcher and a few addons i didn't already have (i didn't wanna use titanium seeing as how i was coming from the Inspire) i rebooted to make sure my system was doing okay, but things didn't really go so well.
After i rebooted i found that Go Launcher wasn't installed at all. I couldn't even find it. I was going to find it on the Market but couldn't even find that either. I was very disappointed and kind of anxious to find out why it was doing this. After researching, i found it may have been apps2sd. I completely removed my sd card, followed the same steps and had the same results. i have no idea why it does this.
I've had similar issues with the original factory image but not to this extent. If anyone has a solution or some kind of input i would HIGHLY appreciate it. I really love this phone and i'd hate to have to tell my friend i can't sell him my inspire lol.

bad flash..start over.
use adam outler uckj4 or mine uclb3. follow ops.
get into cwm recovery. wipe everything.
reflash rom of choice

I'll try that tomorrow. Thanks.

A fresh start sounds like a good idea, but it could still be apps on the sd card. The physical sdcard you removed is different than Android's "sd card," which is actually just the /sdcard directory on the built in memory.
Did you try going into Settings/Applications/Manage Applications and then clicking on a app that appears to be missing? Sometimes i have issues with apps or their widgets and it gets fixed by going to there and clicking "Move to phone."
Anyway, good luck.

I actually did that but it only works with my rooted stock rom. i really want to use the custom roms.

I also used odin to return to stock, is that similar?

So i did it but when i tried accessing recovery mode, it scrambles my display. no idea why...

Qkster and Matt you guys did me a great service, thanks a bunch. I did both and it appears to have fixed it. i ran into a spot of trouble when i installed gb because i couldn't enable dev mode in usb (it auto-shut off) and recovery was just a bunch of jumbled data, but i eventually got it working.
I'm not running revo and will probably try a few other roms! I'm a little hesitant since my phone hasn't been this stable in a while and i aim to keep it that way for a while lol. You were right about it not being a good flash, wiped everything again and went back to oem to fix it. I also had to remove apps from the micro-sd on the original rom, newer roms appear to do this automatically so that's nice lol.
Again thank you both!

hey qkster
i having this app dissapear problem also.. i just flashed SAUROM ROM to test and every time i reboot my phone it would disappear and i went into manage apps i can still see it but when i try to move it over to sd it would say " failed to move application. application not found" but all the apps i store on external sd would be there.. any ideas? another bad flash?

Fast Boot option may be the culprit
In case anyone checks this old thread...
I did not need to move anything back onto my HTC Droid Incredible phone (either memory or internal storage)
I did find a neat tweak that appears to work for just about any sdcard in any Android device, as long as the option exists in the Android OS settings
CUT TO THE SOLUTION BELOW -- SEARCH FOR ////
Some (not all) of my apps moved to SD (all by Titanium Backup Pro) have begun to disappear and (sometimes) reappear without warning after I began to add and delete large Virtual Machines created in QEMU from my 16GB SanDisc class 10 microSD card on my HTC Droid Incredible running rooted stock Verizon Android Froyo 2.2.3. I know this thread is far from my phone's "home base", but from what I can tell this problem with disappearing apps located on an sdcard is NOT determined by hardware or even Android version.
I also happen to use LauncherPro by Federico Carnales instead of the built-in HTC Sense launcher. I noted elsewhere on XDA that a user had suggested that because at least some (maybe all) launchers start before the SD Card that this may be a problem, especially if changes are made to the sdcard that the launcher did not perform, or was not active during their performance by other apps such as Titanium Backup. That fits my situation, because I unmounted the SD, physically removed it to a PC, and added/deleted large VM files to save (lots) of time. No problems of this sort before I did this, so there must be some connection.
I noted that other users have tried reformatting SD, substituting different brands of SD, using newer/older SD etc. None of these reliably helped. So I skipped these options.
//// The (simple!) solution I tried that SEEMS to work (only time will tell!) is buried in the main Android Settings (accessed from the Menu button while in Home screen). Under "Applications" there is a setting "Fast Boot" that I checked long ago and forgot about (it seemed like a good thing to do at the time). The text warns "Turn off to use some Market apps" (that shows the age of my 2-yr old used phone and Android OS -- ohmygosh!-- because it refers to Market rather than Google Play Store!) Anyway, I unchecked the option and rebooted the phone.
Yes, it took a bit longer to boot (maybe a whole minute!), but after waiting about another minute ALL my home screen apps had normal icons and loaded properly. Titanium Backup Pro batch scenarios confirmed there were no apps in a forced uninstalled state (i.e. I had not done the deed, the system somehow had done it or at least rendered the apps "invisible" to Titanium, which decided they needed reinstallation).
The only odd behaviour was that auto brightness was turned off after I unchecked Fast Boot and rebooted. Going into Android Settings > Display and rechecking "auto brightness" took care of that. No other oddities or strange behaviours thus far (but it has only been about an hour).
I will report back here on this thread only (Samsung Fascinate > Fascinate Q&A > What just happend? apps on sdcard) if anything else requires reporting. Silence implies success!

[Q] Broke my S4 Screen, its blank now. How can I transfer things to new phone?

Hello,,,
I recently broke my Galaxy S4 screen and its not responsive anymore. It doesn't work and doesnt show anything. Blank screen.
I bought a new Oneplus One and I want to transfer all my data from my old phone. Contacts were 30% saved to the device and 20% were to my sim card and the rest were on my Samsung account. I dont have an SD card so everything is on the internal storage for my phone.
I also would like to transfer my apps cache data.. like whatsapp's groups and contact's chat history.
I never hooked my phone up to my PC so my PC doesnt recognize it when I connect it. I dont really want to fix my screen for 100$ in order to transfer all my stuff to my new phone I also cannot unlock my screen cause It doesnt work, I do know the pattern though. just saying
pls help
EDIT: damn it wrong forum i was supposed to surf this one while waiting for answers for the other. sorry

There are plenty of online tutorials available. There's no need for me to explain it here once again.
Please use Google.

I assume that you were not rooted?

ADB won't work since he never connected it to his PC. You need to allow access from ADB first when you connect it. USB Debugging also needs to be on.
I also reported this thread so it can be moved to the Q&A forum.

Install a Custom Recovery, boot in your recovery, connect your phone to your Computer(make shure to download the drivers somewhere )and than use adb to pull everything you want
