My system partition and data partition are roughly the same size, but when I do a nandroid backup from TWRP 1.0.3 the data partition takes upwards of 15-20 min when the system takes less than 3.
It gets to one spot where it hangs forever, and it's something about contacts. (I don't remember exactly what it says but it's something like com.providers. blah blah blah, I can get it exactly if you need me to.
My phone shows I have 668 contacts on my Google account (how the hell that is, I have no idea... I don't even know that many people!) is that just too many?
Thanks in advance.

Are you saying you have the same problem? Or no?
From day 1, TWRP has taken me 15-20. Hasn't failed me yet, so I just lay it down and let it do it's thing. What cracks me up is after like 10 mins, it'll say "backup took 191 secs" or something way off like that. But like I said, it hasn't failed me yet.

Those contacts could be email only contacts. I had to sort my gmail acct out.

I just slimmed down my Google contacts down to 200ish and it still took 2240 seconds which is 37 minutes. I took pics that ill upload tomorrow.
Just looking at my recovery log and I've got thousands of this over and over, /data/com.android.providers.contacts/files/thu.
What's that?

I thought it took longer because it compresses it? And shouldn't this be posted in the thread for twrp?

Hey Everyone,
Im not sure if anyone knows or even remembers hearing this, So I figured i'd let everyone know, Cause I myself had no clue. Doing some searching for 3.5 Skins I came across an article that states ALL Sense 3.5 Devices will be offered 5GB Free on Dropbox, Not sure about anyone else but I use DB all the time. All I did was downloaded the app from the market, Opened it up and signed in. About 3-4mins later I got the email confirm that i was given 3GB for free, which took me right up to 5GB. Not bad at all. This will be given to anyone, even if you dont have an account. So thats it, very simple. Just figured i'd share with anyone who wasnt aware....ENJOY!!!

I currently had.a.dropbox and didn't sign up, and it added 3 gigs to mine...for 12 months. Kinda stupid they take it away lol

I didn't get the e-mail with mine? I installed the app right when got the phone Monday morning.
I restored my DB via Ti, and when I just opened the app, I got the email saying I can get the free 3GB by going to some DB website. But it's not automatic and it looks like I need to complete some sort of BS "quest" to get the space. Whatever, I don't use it anyways, I just have it in case it ever becomes useful for me. I just use FTP for most transfer needs.
Still no luck... Signed in, or not.
Really? Man all I did was sign in. Actually I signed In thru the browser. Literally 5mins layer I got the email. Sign In thru yur browser and see if it give you any prompts to get the extra space. Worth a shot

Just signed in with the HTC Browser, so let's see.
I just go the email, it's their whole "getting started" thing where they pretty much want you to install drop box clients on every device you own.
I now have 5.5GB for free. Too bad I never really use dropbox because i have sftp/ssh setup on my linux box.
I have had Dropbox for a while, maybe this is why. I still haven't gotten an e-mail.
Thanks, 3GB extra credited today, my email had gone unread for a few weeks but was still okay to click and get the extra. I have the HTC HD2 with windows 6.5 and bootable Android on my SD card.
Thanks for the heads up as well though I'm late. Got my extra 3gigs today. Will come in real handy....
Just got my 3GB! Thanks
I know that we can't post wares here,but if you google it, they have a hacked APK where you get 23 gigs fo free. It was in general for a while, and got removed from xda.

HTC and dropbox said they were cracking down on that and would remove the storage from anyone who used it also just use a sense 4 rom that should do the trick without it being noticed by HTC

1. Welcome
2. Congrats on your purchase
3. What did you put on it (app wise?) I had an Evo too. I have @ 80+ Apps now with SPB 3D Shell and the difference between Evo and Photon is night and day.
I needed replacement (long story) and when I got new Photon it started acting funny. I deleted Google+ and all good, but I put Google+ back because I use it. Just saying, maybe you installed something thats killing it?
One last thing (because I was JUST reading something eles) How much space are you using on the phone? Not the SD Card, not the 16Gb (well actually 8.79Gb but whats a few Gb between friends), You have 1Gb RAM, and 2GB ROM, install 2Million App's and ...............You get my point!

you can be using 1kb and one app, if its a jacked up app...........
On a personal note, I never install anything with less that 500,000 downloads AND 4-5 stars. Google+, the new version, being the exception!
I don't know if you used the same sd card that you had in the 3d, but if you are it's a good idea to save the info you need and format your sd card.

I have the factory Rom installed and get it from time to time. Don't think its a Rom issue.
I got them today...multiple times...I remember when my Motor Cliq kept doing it...I think it might be a T-Mo issue

Happened to me too. There is a thread over tmobile forum about this problem. So far, no answer from tmobile yet. I think it has to do with the phone. I never had any problem with other tmobile phones. I'm using bulletproof, but I don't think its the Rom. It's kinda annoying.

I received multiple texts on Tuesday. However, when I mentioned it, the person who sent the texts said her phone had been acting up that day, and other people she'd texted also received multiples.
I sometimes get multiple messages. I always get ATLEAST 3 of the same MMS message. VERY annoying lol
I was having this issue and what I found is that I had my contacts in multiple places (Some on sim card, some on google, some on tmobile contact backup, some on phone ect...) I deleted everything except gmail and havent had issues since. Give thata try before you waste your breath calling care.

A suggestion.
did u try hard resetting your phone..?
If not, try it out..
ELSE.--> try finding stock updates for your phone and flash them.
I'm trying to find a locking app similar to the lock on my iPad, when the phone is rebooted or sleep for more the 2 hours the iPad requires a code to unlock. But during normal use it's just normal unlocking. Anybody know of a Android app that would be similar?
Thought my note slipped out my pocket the.other afternoon while working on my truck and didn't realize I didn't have it till later that night, the last time I used it was outside my apartments with my truck and I automatically thought it fell and somebody found it and took it. Tried to call it but it just kept going straight to voicemail so that definitely made me think it was stolen since my.phone wasn't off before. But I.found it later under the seat in my truck haha. I want a.locking app so if it does get taken and the person turns it off and tried to turn it back on then it will ask for a code and lock them out

I don't know if it supports 2 hours as an interval, but the stock rom does this. Home, menu, settings, security, I think. Somewhere in there is the option to set the time after which your PIN will be requested.

I wish we have something like HTC sense provides. Locate phone and if stolen you can delete contents of the phone from the HTC sense website.

A while back I lost my streak and I'd call it and it ring and go to voice mail except once someone rejected the same call and I knew someone had it. Lookout has an app that's called plan b that you can install remotely and will activate your gps so you can find it. Long story short I retrieved my streak and the guy who took it and wouldn't return it ended up with a broken car window. I also believe there's an app out there that'll completely lock your phone down too. Check lookout's suite of software, they may have something for you

Try out Cerberus it can remotely take pictures using the front or back camera and it emails the picture to you, bad guys face is there and also can use the back camera to figure out where they are. GPS locator remotely wipe SD and phone memory and also can set up other people's numbers (that you trust obviously) that you can send a wipe message to your phone from as well through text.
And its only $4 for a lifetime license.
I suspect this is from changing ROMs?
I have added dropbox via the setup tool on the evo lte...
what do?
I got my extra 25 gb. Doubt it has anything to do with switching Roms. But I signed in on my evo when it was stock. Then about maybe 20mins later I got a email telling me it was available

You have to take few extra steps to get the extra space. You may want to check your email.
Sent from my EVO using xda premium
I got mine.. try going through the 'Setup' app and adding your dropbox account through there. Maybe if you just sign in on the app itself it won't do it? I don't remember how I did it now but I know it didn't take long for the extra space to get on there.
You have to get a link in your email and go through dropboxs setup steps.
Flashing roms hasn't changed mine

Had the same problem , had to go thru customer support. After about four mails back & forth they gave it to me. Pain in the ass.
According to HTC website, you have to access dropbox, and sign in from your phones BROWSER.
This worked for me. I signed in via the browser, and then I clicked a few thinks. I believe going through the getting started part on my phone browser granted me the extra 25 gb. This work for me and my fiancee.
Hope that helps.
just signed in on my phone (nothing else) and 10seconds later, got the message saying i got the 25.8gb of drop box storage.
OP here,
I found the email in my inbox about completing the neccessary steps for the additional space. It was like,
install on a computer
upload something
install on another computer
log in on a mobile device
other things
But still not showing. I will fiddle with it tonight at home.
I got it. Had to complete about 6 things before I was rewarded my space. I have a total of 28gb just by doing things it wanted me to (refferals and such) yay!

If you sign in online you can get the 25 gb from there. You have to follow the steps or you'll just get the minimum amount that is free.
after you follow the prompts use the dropbox app to browse around or upload something and the space will show up
