Android app cache (patches) get cleared every couple of reboots

[bronislav84]

This happens to both SL and PL.

I reboot my phone every day or two to keep it fresh.

I noticed that with the update that changed the way scaled drops work, I started to have to repatch. I opened the game, patching starts. I'm like huh, there was a patch? Didn't think anything of it.

Couple of days later, I knew I had the patches and checked each app's Cache for the heck of it. It said 0.00b Cache data for both apps, and I know I didn't clear it.

Today I just had to repatch PL after a reboot, but I know I didn't clear the cache myself. And checking SL, the cache is empty also.

They seem to lose the cache (patch) data between every couple of reboots now. Can this be fixed please? I don't like needlessly redownloading patches. It wastes my data and time.

Thank you.

From reading this it doesn't seem much that STS have any control of buddy, seems like a Device fault. =\

Will have look if I get time

[bronislav84]

You'd think that Bod, but no. This wasn't happening until recently, and there have been no OS updates to my device since I got Gingerbread, MONTHS ago.

[Skeletonlord]

It has to be a device fault as bod said

[bronislav84]

NOTHING HAS CHANGED WITH MY DEVICE. This just started happening randomly upon reboot. Not my fault. It's a bug and I'm trying to report it so they could fix it to how it was before when this wasn't happening.

. Have you tried contacting support?

[bronislav84]

No, you think I should?

[Silentarrow]

Yes!

[bronislav84]

I'll just link to this thread then

My cache data is also 0. Have you tried deleting and reinstalling the apps? I would suggest that first.

See. I'm not crazy.

Did it work for you Death? I would reinstall them but I kinda like my quick chats, and those don't get saved on the server.

About to email support.

List your current apps please. I use to have this problem, but I realised what easy causing it. I need a list of all your apps if that is possible.

[bronislav84]

I have way too many apps J. Most of them are games. Are you looking for anything in particular?

I don't need any games. Just give me the names of all apps that you have, no games.
Ex. Mine are(no games no stock apps)
Advanced Task Manager
Pingchat
STS
History Eraser

These are the only apps I use.
I would like to know the apps you use and have.

Bron, my cache is 0 too, im hoping everyone's is.

Any IT or Technical support say the first thing to do is either turn it off and back on, or uninstall and re-install.

Why not copy your pre-sets to a notepad app then re-paste when you re-install.

[javier995]

This is for the STS games.

[bronislav84]

Non games are:

Flash 11.1, Advanced Dictionary & Thesaurus, Advanced Task Cleaner Pro, AIM (not latest version), Amazon mp3, Amazon app store, Barcode Scanner, Best Buy app, Best Buy reward zone, Bookmarks Manager, Call Light, Download All Files, Easytether, Ebuddy, couple ROM game downloaders for old systems, FileBrowser, Fish Bowl Photo Gallery, Gift Card rewards app, Gmail, Hand in Glove, some ebook apps that were removed from Market, Jota Text Editor, Yahoo mail (hate this app, can't fully remove it), Google Maps, Trendmicro Mobile Security, T-Mobile My Account, My Daily Free Amazon App, MyMSN, NYCMate, OfficeSuite 5 (Amazon), PokeDroid, PokeDroid Extras (both removed from the market), Pokemon IV Calculator, Sexy Anime Girls Wallpapers (removed from market cause Google didn't like it even though there's no nudity), SlideME Marketplace, Smart Battery Monitor, Spacetime forum app, Speed Test, Star Trek Soundboard, Star Trek Sounds (both removed from market, no idea why), T-Mobile mall, Translator widget, Trillian (beta version I didn't uninstall yet), Ventriloid, Voice Search, XfDroid, XfMobile, XWindDownloader.

And these are all non-games. The rest are games.

I keep PL and SL on my phone memory and not on the SD card. If I keep them on the SD card the patches NEVER save. After patching and closing the apps, the cache shows the same amount as J, give or take (that is a tablet right?). This stays until a couple reboots later, then I have to repatch.

Bod when your Cache drops to zero don't you have to repatch before playing too?

[BodMaster]

Nope mines always at 0, as I clear my caches daily, due to my phone having so little memory.

Here's mine for SL, (Saved to SD)

[javier995]

No this on my phone which I only use on wifi. Now I will look into these apps and tell you which is causing a problem. Usually its an app.

[bronislav84]

So then Bod you re-patch daily by choice? Mines drops to zero without any action on my part, almost daily. Depending on how often I reboot. Until recently it used to hold the cache between reboots.

J your interface looks like it's not 2.3.4. My 2.3.4 is black like Bod's. If it's not a tablet, then is it a custom root ROM?
