[lugm.org] Android - HTC Desire

[Arvind Doobary]

Hello Yasir,

I had lots of bootloop problems with my phone (a Galaxy S, running 
CyanogenMod 7.1) until I remapped the /datadata partition which was only 
172MB and was getting full. I did an "adb logcat" while it was booting 
to determine the problem. What fixed it for me was to remove the symlink 
of /data/data which was pointing to the /datadata partition and 
recreating the /data/data folder and chown it to u/g system.

I had a friend having a similar problem on his Desire and he got a 
refund finally after many months of warranty diagnosis. Seemed to have 
been a hardware problem.
On the other hand, I got a Desire S for my girlfriend and it's still 
rock solid. Very good performance and hacking possibilities.

Cheers,
Arvind
