Corrupt IE Cache when moved to SD card?

[BrettS]

Lately I've noticed that when I'm using Pocket IE I'll try to go to a web site and it will start to load, then IE simply closes and I'll be back at the today screen. It doesn't happen on the same web site every time, but once it starts happening for a particular website it will keep happening on that website until I go into the options for IE and clear the cache. Lately it's been happening once a day or more and it's starting to get rather annoying. I'm about ready to try to move the cache back off the SD card.

Has anyone else seen this?

Thanks,
Brett

Same here. I was suspecting:
- IE cache on SD
- GPRS connection always on

As those were the two tweaks I did just before the problem started.
Just a few hours ago I tweaked the gprs connection back to the way it was, but the problem came back.

I suppose it is the SD cache then.

I do not use GPRS connection. When I moved IE cache to my SD card, this problem occurred. After I moved it back to internal storage, the problem was gone.

I put the cache in the sd card but i dont have that problem

I also had this problem and moving the cache off the sd card resolved the problem. I wish there was a quicker way to clear the cache.

For me this was Cache on the SD card. I tried it for a day but obviously could not tolerate the problem just to save on memory. Moved it back and the problem is gone.

I had the same problem with the cache on the sd-card.

I "moved" the cache back to the device, and deleted the cache from PIE options.
Then I emptied the cache folder on the sd card and "moved" the cache to the sd card.

Is it possible that some content of the cache is somehow indexed in a database? So there would be an inconsistency when only the path is changed... :?:

Finally I had to set the cache in rom because IExplorer speed was very slow.Ok guys, we need a solution. we need to purge the cache automatically or be able to change the cache size (if I change it in the registry it is restored when system boots)...

Could it be the type/brand of sdcard? Maybe, I've just been lucky so far. I haven't experienced this problem yet?

I have a Sandisk Ultra II 1 GB.. Am I just lucky so far.

hi all,

I don't believe it has to do with the SD card. I am currently using a HTC Apache (Sprint PPC-6700) and I am also having this problem. I am using a Sandisk 1G miniSD. I have moved the temp folders back to main memory and haven't had any problems. :?

I am guessing, could this be related to the write speed of regular SD cards? It seems that the only one that reported no problem in this thread is using a faster-writing card (Sandisk Ultra).

Yesterday I was testing the SD card caching again. I was loading a very long blog page with lots of photos, the page size close to 1 MB. IE crashed and closed itself towards the end of loading that page. I cleared the cache and tried it again. It still crashed almost at the same spot. And the same for the third time. It almost looked like the SD card couldn't keep up with the amount of data that needs to be cached. (I was using WiFi.)

I also remembered the last time I was using SD for IE caching, I was surfing the web using Verizon's EVDO service (at around 100-200K speed), and I was able to surf for a few hours before IE started acting funny. When I use WiFi for surfing, however, IE crashed much sooner.

I have had this happen too, but never thought it could be caused by having the cache on my SD card. I always thought it was a memory issue, because a soft reset has always fixed the problem. Next time it happens, I'll try flushing the cache to see if that fixes it.
