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

[Otukura]

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.

On a phone without any apps other than PL and the defaults, I'm getting the same problem. It started at the same patch too.

Thank you for adding your name to the pot Otu. The more people that step forward with this problem, the better.

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?

No mine don't re-patch at all when logging in, until a patch is released but otherwise logs straight in with no problem at all :/

That's.....strange. Really strange dude. I just keep losing Cache between reboots. Sometimes it stays and sometimes it doesn't.

Having this problem on Cyanogen(mod) 7.1.0 if it helps.

Looks like this is more extensive than I thought if root users are affected.

Same here my cache has always been 0 for both games.

Well I looked into the apps. Well the free ones. Now if I may, tell me do any of your apps(dl'd ones) give you the option to automatically clear cache, or clear cache on the push of a button?

[bronislav84]

Nope they don't. Auto clear cache on all apps is as far as I know a root app only feature.

Most of my apps clear cache on reboot. STS apps NEVER used to do that until that patch. The forum app also seems to be affected. It's bugged and caches images into Data, making the app size grow exponentially, but that just needs to be reset once in a while. Anyway the STS forum app's cache (dunno what it puts three since all the images go into data) seems to be clearing on reboot now too, and it didn't used to do that.

Like this?




Also I have no idea why my phone changed the theme. haha

[bronislav84]

Yup like that, although my phone allows me to delete the data and yours doesn't seem to have a clear data button (Logs me out, but shrinks the app size). Anyway the forum app's cache seems to be resetting lately too. Before it used to keep cache between reboots, too.

Seriously what Android is that? Definitely not Gingerbread. Mine looks like Bod's.

My phone isn't rooted lol. Yes some apps give me the choice to clear data, others don't. I have the Garminfone. It's decent, it's not the phone I use everyday tho. I use a Metro phone now, not a smartphone or anything just "regular". Haha

[bronislav84]

Oh I see.

Edited my post above. If you're gonna quote me, please allow 6-8 minutes for finalization or you may end up quoting an old post.

Will do! Lol even tho I didn't wait right now.

[bronislav84]

Lol old post again.

Anyway we're getting off topic.

[BodMaster]

I have the Garminfone.

:O

Never heard of it :/ checked my mobile bible, and it has a nifty 4GB of internal memory which is pretty cool

Mine's soooo low about 50-100 MB of 'usuable' internal space :'(

[bronislav84]

That is quite sweet. Mine has 1gig and getting full cause of one game. Princess Punt puts all their patches in the Data, which cannot be moved to SD, and takes up like 80mb now combined. Love the game, but might need to uninstall it when I finish the free content (They just made areas 3 and 4 free recently) cause compared to even PL/SL the game is huge cause of it's data. Google it guys. It ain't bad. Think Angry Birds but with RPG elements, a story, and a princess who likes to kick people.

Oops, sorry, bron! I don't have any issues. It loads up fine with no patching, except when one is pushed out.

Death yours is definitely on the SD card. Are you saying it keeps patches on the SD card if the game is on the SD card?

[Deathpunch]

I dunno where they go. I would assume so, as patches replace bits of code, and become part of the actual program.
