Title: Receiving App Causes Garbage Collect
Post by: E37 on November 15, 2015, 11:02:15 am
My ti 84 won't receive apps (any other file is fine). It receives the app then validates, garbage collects and sends the app again.
I am assuming I messed up my flash up somewhere.
What should I do? I would not like to do a full wipe since it doesn't want to backup form archive.

Garbage Collect is a totally normal thing, nothing to worry about!
It is an important maintanance task, so to say, so that you can actually use more of your flash.

However, I noticed that it can mess up sending apps to the calculator, resulting in those not being sent.
So far I managed to fix it by doing the following:
First I ran Garbage Collect manually, for that go to the catalog (2ND + 0), then either scroll down to GarbageCollect, hit enter twice and select "YES", so that you will trigger a garbage collect.
After that try sending the app again :)

I know what a garbage collect is and usually I can send apps fine.
However, after I messed around with the axiom Fullrene for a while I got the same problem.
I was able to fix it then by running a program that used the axiom with nothing in it.
Now though that solution doesn't work.

edit: A RAM wipe seemed to work.
