Hi All, I'm wondering how worried should I be about writing an app that does a lot of writing (logs + db files) to the phone's main memory.
In the past I was involved in a project that had to do a lot of writing to SD card, and the SD cards started malfunctioning after 2-3 months due to this, and had to be replaced every now and then. The developer realized he was reaching the flash memory's read/write guarantees (don't remember the exact specs). If the phone's main memory is also flash based, should this be a concern? I wouldn't want to damage the phone's memory in a permanent way.... I'm also not sure if the issue is related to reading writing to the same physical block (the guy was using a single log file and kept appending it, so he was constantly accessing the file's header block), and whether writing cyclic log files might remedy a problem like this.. Would appreciate any thoughts on this issue. Thanks! -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Android Developers" group.
