[Q] After Deinstalling a SD-Android-ROM - how to clear memory - HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera

Hello,
I've installed a SD-Build of an Android-ROM (MDJ) for testing - but I need Windows Mobile for navigation (Navigon) too.
Now Navigon telling there not enough memory any more (only 15-30 MB than -I think- 160 MB before) - so I tried to deinstall/erase Android on SD-card.
But: The memory not becomes clear again, I do an hard reset , no success, I flash a new WM-RON (Artemis), but the monory is gone.
How can I bring back (locked) memory ?

Hi,
Before doing anything,backup your sd card to your pc/laptop.
You want to use a program like "G-Parted" (google).
You can use this program to delete partitions and formatting back to its original state.

Hello, thank you for helping ... but I think, memory is locked on internal phone memory not on sd card.

Android on SD doesn't use internal memory ...so no need to uninstall or remove SD android...just make sure you do some tricks like installing gmaps on SD card and uninstall from int.mem. Gmaps cache consumes large space..also delete album cache from applications..uninstall gameloft games..they install on int.memory!...also search for posts which guide you in increasing internal memory from the hd2 Wm 6.5 section.
Since u are from Germany..I believe you have an EU HD2..be sure you have not flashed hspl on 3.14 Wm rom ..it can produce low memory

Hello,
before tried out android on HD2 I've used WM-6.5-build from Stenas 'Artemis 51' for month without problems. Problems comes 1 weeks ago after using SD-Android, suddenly not enough memory for WM 6.5, Navigon Navigation, HTC picture album, Opera etc. not works anymore. Tried hard reset and flashing Artemis 58, but no success, about 150 MByte of internal memory are gone.
Any help?
Greetings ACHIM

before I throw my hd2 into the wastebasket I've tried this:
there was SPL 1.42.HSPL on my device
so I've now installed
SPL 3.03.0000 (with http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=11499585&postcount=3)
and ...
my HD2 has over 150 MByte memory back.
Not understand why before trying SD-Android all is going fine and there was no problem - perhaps, because I've updated my Radio too ???!!!
Hope, now all problems gone ...

Problem with applications

Hi guys,
I've got problem with my elf. I've got some cabs on my storage card and when I'm trying to install them, there's a question about localization for this applications. When I'm checking box at 'storage card' my elf's trying to install it on phone (it's trying to install it on phone, no matter what I've checked), where's only 11 mb free. Why I can't install aplications on storage card?
Card is free in 63%.
Btw. I don't know or is it important, but my OS is 5.2.1620
Thanks in advance
Sabtuz
Sorry for my bad English
Have you tried a hard reset?
Sometimes Windows Mobile..
You know.
I even change soft (onyx ultimate) and still same problem...
Try Onyx Micro, see how it goes.
Still same. Maybe sth in registry?
Have you tried changing microSD cards?
Make sure they are not write protected.
Hellow
Dose this occur with all (or some) programs because some programes are designed to run from main memory and not sd card

Another Curiosity on ROM 1.66 WWE

Hi,
After 3 months of good job, suddenly ,SD-capacity-Info (free/occupied RAM on SD memory card in LEO ) DISAPPEARED.....showing only :" free-RAM :0.00" and occupied :"0.00" RAM.
It did not fix removing the SD card and then re-inserted it again(+rebooting).
Also is not possible to install the old fix (December 2009) for this problem ,because it does not apply to this ROM....
Maybe some registry key is missing after unistalling some software (by me)
It is a real mistery......
Anybody experience this ??
Thanks
Same happened on mine. Unfortunately me was not able to determine WHEN it happened (after install of WHAT app a/o tweak).
But since correct figures show up in SKTools and Resco-Explorer for mSD (16GB) I don´t mind anymore. My HD2 works perfectly, no freeze, almost all apps installed on SD (quite a lot: 40 apps, 8 games, prof. docs, ppts, pdfs, mp3s, educ. videos) and I´m badly waiting for the 32GB Sandisk mSD to arrive, got only 1GB left on the 16GB mSD.
Don´t worry, take it as it is ...............
Having the same problem. Using german tmob Rom 1.72.
No idea when it startet.
The memory display in settings-more-system-memory shows correct data.

Memory problems on HTC HD2

I bought the Telstra version of HTC HD2 and flashed the ROM to version 1.66 with Arabic support. What I have started noticing is that after installing several programs, my storage memory started running very low (now down to anywhere between 3-6MB while my free program memory is >160MB) even though I have setup my Windows Marketplace to install programs on the storage card, temp and cache files are as well as Email attachments are stored on the SD card and actually more than 80% of my program are installed on the SD card but I believe even when you tell a program to install on the SD card, portion of it has to install in the main memory.
My question is what to do about this situation (BTW, I have tried apps that clear the RAM and they work temporarily and, obviously, as I use my device the memory goes down and then I have to re-run that program to clear the RAM again). Is there a way to change the memory allocation between storage and program RAM like we used to do in Windows CE?
Please advise?

Remove WP7 on Hd2...Please desperate.

Hi
I have searched around the forum without any luck on how to remove the windows phone 7 from my uncle's HD2. How can reflash it to the stock rom, which windows 6.5 because activating 7 on the phone is a bit hard and i m not really getting how to do. So I'll just get it back to stock rom and wait for some thing more stable and easier.
Please help me, my uncle's contacts are on this phone, and he cant get it back to normal.
if u didnt backup the phone contacts i guess they are gone because after a flash everything gets lost...u can flash back the stock winmo rom...hold volume down button and start the phone wait till u see the three colored screen...plug in pc till u see usb writing instead of serial...then start flash stock rom from pc...but nothing from ur data will be there anymore...so if u still have the contacts on phone make a backup before u flash
Man. You have two ways.. even to flash nand android or returning back to wm6.5 to return to wm 6.5 u first turn off ur fone, press volume down and power botton to go to the multi color screen .. and then flash ur favorate wm 6.5 rom.. and sorry to tell u that the contacts are alreqdy rlearased if they were on wm 6,5 ..
You can reflash Windows Mobile 6.5 by holding down the volume- button as you power on the phone. Then just flash a stock ROM through the bootloader like normal.
As for his contacts being on the phone, if they were in Windows Phone 7 you can back them up using a Gmail account, and if they were on Windows Mobile 6.5, then I'm sad to say that they have been erased.
htc hd2 does not show sd card
Thanks guys i have revereted back to win 6.5 on my htc hd2 but i have problem with sd card my phone dose not show any card is installed
You have to format the SD card.
I don't know if you can do it in WinMo (probably you can)
Otherwise you'll have to do it on your pc.

I formatted the SD card back to FAT32 in a digital camera.
You can-
You can format the SD card on Win Mo 6.5
Go to tools/format SD card.
Format it to whatever you need.
depends whether Wm6.5 can recognize this "formatted" partition created by WM7
if unable to, you probably need some tools or software
or use a digital camera or for me, SD card reader etc

You can use Android. It works!
Go online and google "free partition manager".
Or look around the various threads, theres links to partition and formatting software in the wp7 threads because of this exact reason...
Cheers...
To get your micro sd card formatted back to its original size just use the tool on *THIS* website and when formatting go into the options and change FORMAT SIZE ADJUSTMENT to 'ON' so it detects the hidden partition.

To format SD cards
Normally i just flash clock work mod recovery, and do a format from there, its pretty easy and i can set up my SD card for Ext2 while at it
hi, I assume when we flash stock rom during bootloader "usb" after we installed wp7, things like hspl, magldr , radio will be removed as well.
is there anyway that we can keep wp7 , and leave android sd build in another sd card ? So when we want to build android, we simply just swap the wp7 sd card with the android build sd card. is there anything we need to do to achieve this ?

If you flash a stock WM6.5 rom via bootloader usb mode then the only thing that is lost is Magldr and your previous rom. HardSPL and your Radio can only be overwritten by flashing a stock WM6.5 rom via microsd card method.
When you are using WP7 you CAN NOT hotswap microsd cards or your new card and the previous card you took out will not be recognized by WP7 anymore. I have seen some posts of people saying you can load Android via sd card while using WP7 but I have not done this and cannot verify its validity.

More trouble...
I went back to 6.5 ...And my phone reports only 180 Mb of memory instead 512 !!! I tried task29, flashing Stock rom, Custom roms, everything... And it still not going over 200MB of total memory, I can feel the phone lagging!
So, f this SD-card formatting issue, what about the more serious problem of downsizing HD2's memory in half after WP7!!!
Anyone, please HEEEELP!!!

Is that internal memory, storage memory? What is it giving for total, used and free?
Can you take a screenshot and post it?
If your phone only registered a total of 180Mb then its very doubtful that the stock rom would have flashed so im sure the memory is still there.. A screenshot of your memory screen would be very useful.

i see. thanks for ur advice. just curious , when we install our wp7, is our wm6.5 still in phone ? cos my energy start up screen is still there . or did i missed one step in front to do a task 29 ?
if i want to go back to my sd android and wm6.5, the step is just flash a wm6.5 (ex: energy rom) rom over right ? or i have to do a task 29 first ?

mskip, here is what WM 6.5 reports after I:
- removed the SD card (formatted by WP7, did use the sdformatter tool to revert back to fat32, thank for that tip which you posted on some other thread
- went into bootloader
- did the task29
- flashed the 3.14 stock rom (comes with .51 radio)
DEVICE:
Total storage : 180.98 MB
Used storage: 53.71 MB
Free storage: 127.27
Total program: 336.93 MB
Used program: 136.41 MB
Free program 200.53 MB
I tried some other ROMs, like CleanEx Core V12 which report more memory, but not as nearly as they should (its a 576 mb rom and I flashed a 50.14 radio before the ROM) and it looks like this:
DEVICE:
Total storage: 283.95 MB
Used storage: 16.36 MB ?!??!
Free storage: 267.58 MB
Total program: 474.00 MB
Used program 275.59 MB
Free program 198.24

[Q] HTC HD2 now hangs on 02 Welcome Screen

Hi
I seem to have killed off my HTC HD2.
I followed a posted instructions link on here
Phone has
2.15.50.14 Radio installed
HARDSPL 2.08 installed
I then went and tried to use MAGLDR. This went through but on reboot phone stalls at the Blue 02 weclome screen.
Tried many reloads of all the above but it still hangs. Any advice.
The only issue I think I have is that its a 320MB version as it was one of the first to the UK.
Hi
Just to let you know if you get this issue I solved it. Used Task29 and rebuilt phone up from there. Runnimg WM7 but not going to keep it as I'm finding it very boring.

Do you have a 320mb pre-release version?
Sent from my HD2 Droid HD using XDA App
you are only guessing you have a 320meg version, you have the proper eu version not a test unit, i got mine from o2 on the day it arrived
Hi
Not sure now. In WM7 in phone about it now states
Total Storage 158.29MB
Avaailable Storage 61.96 MB
This is causing me a real issue as it doesn't see my SD Card nor can I find any settings to use it.
becayse wp7 takes up the internal memory, and not all sd cards are compatable with wp7
Format your card with Panasonic SD Formatter with....
Format: FULL
Erase: ON
Size Adjustment: ON
Then put SD card into phone and re-flash WP7 and it should work properly and you see all your free space. If you view the card via PC it will say you have 200MB free space as WP7 partitions your card, The 200MB is used by system and the other partition is your storage space. Remember not to power on phone without SD card though.
If you still dont get full space its likley that your card is not compatible so you will need to use another.
