[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
I downloaded the 2.3 rom on my tmobile vibrant. Well, i messed it up. It was for like international phones and stuff. So i decided to odin back to stock 2.2. It did it, but now my phone gives me a black screen and i cant do anything. It wont even turn on. Last time this happened i had to send my phone to samsung and get a new one. Someome please help, i dont want to wait for a new phone again.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doin-it:
Are you able to get in download mode @ all ? ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richtertrevor78:
Take out battery, run odin, plug usb into computer, plug usb into phone, hold volume up and down but not the power button, replace battery at same time as you hold the two buttons. You really can't kill this phone.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
get/make a jig as long as your battery still has juice this will force your phone into download mode, from there odin back to stock 2.1 (JFD) i have had the least issues when odining back to JFD
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickdossantosjr:
What is a jig? This is op on friends account
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
A usb jig is a micro usb connector with 301k ohm resistance e across two specific connections ( don't rmr which two connections) that rocks the phones circuitry into pushing the phone into download mode, if I recall correctly instructions on the formation of a jig can be found in the vibrant general section

Sent from my AXURA powered voodoo infused Categorically Worthless Vibrant
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
The guide on making a jig saids that it wont help me:(

I really need to get my phone in download mode.

Taking out the battery was no help
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
it would help you get into download mode, but aside from that when you press the power button do you see the home keys turn on? if you do id imagine a jig would help. However if not even that helps you probably need to send the phone in.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
No, not even the home keys light up.

Crap dont tell me i have to turn it in :/
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shreddintyres:
you try the jig first, its like 5 dollars worth of parts and can only help. Give it a shot, who knows you may get lucky, it could also be that your battery is just drained try charging it in a friends vibe or captivate and see what happens. but at this point it sure looks like you might have to turn it in
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kevho00:
This is the second time this happens to me.

Ill just tell Samsung that my phone wont turn on again. Thats what i did when i was rooted and decided to flash my phone to froyo via kies. I didnt get charged $400, so look like they never got it back on either.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelerdynasty:
did you end up sending it in? this exact same thing just happened to me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
^ can you see Anything? Battery charging, cutting it on, trying recovery or download? If so, you are fine. If not, removebattery, wait a while, try again still nothing? Brick likely. What did you do, very hard to brick this phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelerdynasty:
just like the OP said. upgraded to 2.3..didnt like it, tried to go back to 2.2 using odin. it said passed! and has not booted up since..no d/l, no recovery, just black...no nothin
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Are the buttons at the bottom lit? Or is it like your phone is just dead? If not the latter, try Eugene's froyo that doesn't brick.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelerdynasty:
it's like the phone is dead. i cant get anything
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Doesn't sound good if you can't see anything. I've seen some say they've removed the battery avg let some time pass and then they were able to get it working, but that seems crazy to me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steelerdynasty:
unfortunately, i'm not one of those people. i left the battery out for 8+ hrs. and tried again..to no avail....
[Xoom General] lordao:
Hey All

I am in the US for a week for work and picked up a Xoom..Loving it done the unlock and root all good. Now for the 3g it asks for verizon activation for data. Is there a way yet to use a UK sim in the future or will it just be a wifi model.

Thanks in advance

Lordao
[Xoom General] jvs60:
Apparently it'll be wifi only for you in the UK
[Xoom General] lordao:
Thanks for that, I figured as much but with the brain trust here you never know. LOL

Lordao
[Xoom General] ClydeB1:
Not AFAIK. The 3g US Xoom uses the CDMA network which is sim free, whereas the UK like SA for me uses the GSM network. So unless the radio devices are swapped out I doubt that even the geniuses here can't change that. I've also bought one from the States and will be using it purely as a WI-Fi model.
[Xoom General] burden010:
The US 3G version is for use only on CDMA networks, we use GSM here in the UK so unfortunately your 3G won't work here. You probably would have been better off just getting a wifi only here. I know the price is the same, $800 is roughly £500. But you wouldn't have to buy a power converter and if there are any issues with it you could take back to the shop, you won't be able to do that now without shipping back to the US.

I'm going to the US in May and decided against buying there for the very reasons above. Although if I were to buy a wifi only there it would only cost me about £310...!
[Desire General] bluedragon1971:
OK, so over the weekend Cellular South pushed out their Froyo update (finally). I knew it was coming, so after we recently replaced my wife's phone under warranty, I was going to wait until they released the update before I did anything (rooting, etc.). Well, in their update, they disabled the wifi hotspot feature :( . Well, I thought, I'll just root it and install one of the hotspot apps from the Market. So, I tried Unrevoked 3, and after it first said it was triumphant, it then said "internal error: failed to unlock NAND flash", which I understand means that the rooting failed. I have checked and the rooting did fail.

Anyone have any ideas?

I was wondering if it would be possible for someone to rip the required files/settings from the US Cellular RUU that was released a while back (which DID have the hotspot feature enabled) and package it as an update that would somehow re-enable the feature on the otherwise stock Cellular South ROM?
[Desire General] Meaple:
Check the settings in Wireless and Networks. There might be a setting down the list unless it really got removed completely. BTW, I don't see why the rooting failed because the NAND unlock is different to rooting. Try Unrevoked 3.20 instead of 3.21 (or the previous version from the newer one).
[Desire General] bluedragon1971:
Yeah, I can't understand why the rooting failed either. And yes, Cellular South DID remove the hotspot option completely (even to the point that Quick Settings doesn't offer an option to enable it). I'll try an older version of Unrevoked and see if that fixes the rooting issue. Version 3.21 did work with our previous HTC Desire though (but it was on 2.1, not 2.2).
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Cellular South has hboot 1.06.0000 on the froyo update does not work with unrevoked.
[Desire General] bluedragon1971:
Oh, OK, that explains it then. I didn't even think to check the version of hboot. Any word on when Unrevoked might be updated to support that hboot version, or any other way to root it?
[Desire General] status_six:
This guide might be useful?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7515332
[Desire General] -Mr. X-:
Not sure. They have not said anything.
[Desire General] bluedragon1971:
Not really useful at all, since it is talking about a totally different version of hboot, but thanks anyway. From reading around, this same thing happened to US Cellular customers as well when they got their Froyo update last month (it updated to the same version of hboot), so if the phones weren't already s-off, then there currently is no way to get them rooted. I guess I (and everyone else who is in my situation) will simply have to wait on the Unrevoked team to find a new way to root this version. Supposedly they are aware of it and working on it.
[Desire General] jptros:
wifi hotspot on cell south

FYI, my desire and my wife's completely stock desire has the wifi hotspot in the froyo release. It doesn't show up in the app list under sense though. I use zeam launcher and it's available on mine. My wife used launcher pro for a while and it was available under her's as well.
[Captivate General] gephross100:
so yesterday a user on this forum convinced me to finally flash my rom to cognition.

ive noticed how fast my battery has been depleting compared to the stock 2.2. is this normal?

i dont get the point in flashing a rom that is suppose to make the phone work better if it drains the battery so fast i dont even get to use it. after an hour and a half of mostly standby it is down to 85%. i am estimating that at this rate the battery will be gone in 8.5 hours.

a 10 hour battery life on full charge isn't acceptable by any means
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
If you are up to speed on the Cognition thread, DesignGears knows about the problem and is working on a fix. Patience, until then you can always flash back to stock if you like.
[Captivate General] gephross100:
but is this common with all custom roms and was this an issue with past versions of cog?
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
No, not all roms are the same. This is a product of DG creating a new kernel. 4.1.1 version was very stable and gave me great battery life. You have to expect some hiccups when you adopt the newest version of any rom.
[Captivate General] shane87:
It should also be noted that sometimes when flashing a new rom, the battery calibration gets thrown out of whack. So, when you flash a new rom, always give it at least three to five full charge cycles, i.e. drain battery until dead then fully recharge, before you can make any acurate guess as to how the rom is affecting battery life. For example, when I flashed cog 4.1.1, I also flashed a new modem and kernel, and drained from 100% to dead in about 10hrs, with light usage. I am currently at 36% after 14hrs of medium to heavy usage with the same setup. I have gone through four charge cycles. So give the rom a chance, it may just be your battery calibration.

ROM: Cognition v4.1.1

Kernel: eXistZ's KB1 #5 Voodoo Sound v4, Voodoo Color, Voodoo lagfix

Modem: I897 UCJJ4 w/ HSUPA/HSDPA enabled

[Android Apps and Games] SuperWink:
For starters I'm on an HTC Thunderbolt running Android 2.2.

I prefer Facebook For Android over the HTC version, and I'm hoping I can get this sorted out.

I can get my contacts to sync, even if I have to do it manually. However, I'm not sure how to get it to sync correctly for me. For example, when I'm sending texts it shows their picture for each of their texts, but for my picture in the conversation it's just one of those default silhouettes, rather than using my facebook picture.

Any fix for this?
[Android Apps and Games] korr92:
Maybe you could try option "Always sync with facebook" or you could also use

SyncMyPix (App on Market). This will do the job for ya!
[Android Apps and Games] ogrenator:
not sure how you can possibly like the facebook app better than htc's offering...it doesnt work lol...ive had the same problem you have on like 7 different non-sense roms...and i keep coming back b/c of the integration ...havent tried syncmypix though..sounds interesting
[Android Apps and Games] mexhex:
all i know is the picture doesn't automatically sync, you have to attach your pic in the people view to attach your facebook picture
[Android Apps and Games] SuperWink:
Thanks for the assistance everyone. I caved and I'm just using the HTC Facebook solely for syncing contacts, as it does it fantastically.

Now if only the Facebook for Android had working push notifications.....
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
yeah, you have to either use the HTC facebook to get your pic to show or make a contact of yourself. I had read it had to be named "ME" but I named mine my full name and I think I did a nickname of "ME". HTC does really have the best facebook sync abilities, one of the few things I miss about SenseUI..
[Android Apps and Games] ogrenator:
well I tried syncmypix and it works like a charm...so give that a shot if you really are against using friendstream
[Android Apps and Games] MrWicket:
Great app! solved all my FB pic woes!
[Android Apps and Games] treeantz:
I'm using SyncMyPix but it doesnt seem to be syncing correctly. Anyone facing similar issue? It used to work flawlessly, not sure what went wrong.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
i noticed, that i don't have the latest software on my defy. is it at all necessary to update? (i have the 2.34.1 version) if so, is it okay if i updated to a uk software, or would it cause any problems? (because i couldn't find any update for hungary)
[Defy General] Woif:
maybe you can find a hungarian update at the motorola software support site.

This is the austrian Motorola Support Software Update site. I assume, there should be an hungarian site too.

If you have started you phone with blur, you can do an official upgrade with FOTA.

If you want to upgrade your phone to Froyo, you should first read a lot about flashing, backup (with Nandroid). You can start here. If you speak german, you find the information here.

The 3.4.2-155 (CEE) ROM has definitely NOT installed hungarian. Please ask in the Subthreads, if they could change the language to hungarian.
[Defy General] zakoo2:
the language doesn't matter, it's perfectly fine for me in english. i was just worrying if there were any other differences between the 2 softwares?
[Defy General] mihik:
Download the official update sw from Motorola

You can choose UK version, because HU there isn't in the list. But don't worry about that the update sw will install the right official fw to your phone (2.51.1 CEE).

The .apk should be in /data/app unless it's protected, in which case it will be in /data/app-private

If you purchased through your Google account in the market, you will always be able to redownload them without being charged. Or you could just back them up with Titanium Backup.

[Windows Phone 7 General] burnblue:
I'm tired of seeing all these apps that are basically one app in sequence (Cassiere T1.3, Caissiere T1.4, etc) basically everything from ReadBooks, cluttering up the Marketplace. Same goes for those apps that are the same concept but different subject (I Am Lady Gaga, I am Obama, etc). Language apps and reference apps do something similar.

Where is a page/forum for suggestions that Windows Phone employees actually still check? We need some kind of lumping/grouping for these apps. If I could filter the books and reference category out if the New list, I'd be fine

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamina1:
So I'm certain you all have heard about the AT&T, Tmobile merger that's coming along. Assuming that it gets approved, I'll suddenly have 3g and 4g available in my area (finally!) since Tmobile is the only one that currently supports it in our area.

My question is - will the Captivate function on the T-mobile tower spectrum for 3g and 4g data?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Please research as the answer is no. The captivate does not have any bands that work on T-Mobile. The virbrant does have bands that work on att.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamina1:
How unfair! My boyfriend has the vibrant, and one of his coworkers has the new Galaxy 4g. Well, I hope they somehow tweak it so that the towers broadcast on the AT&T bands as well, else that will really stink, and provides no benefit for AT&T customers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ikonomi:
I saw something on Gizmodo saying that 3G phones with T-Mobile bands will no longer work on the new combined network after integration is complete. That leaves only AT&T 3G devices and whatever 4G LTE devices are around by then. So it sounds like towers will be broadcasting only AT&T frequencies.

My apologies if this information is inaccurate in any way.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamina1:
Awesome for me! Sucks for my boyfriend! (though his vibrant can use AT&T frequencies if jailbroken, which he has not yet done)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
I should restate what I said. The phone will work. It just won't have 3G speeds if you are using data. The Vibrant however still works on AT&T 3G towers. I don't know how or if they will actually disable bands as mentioned in a previous posters link to Gizmodo. Sorry for not being more clear in my original post.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamina1:
I guess we'll just have to see - it makes sense that AT&T would convert the towers, just as they are currently they won't work. So either way in my case and my boyfriend's case we'll have to wait till our area is integrated and see what happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
What about this?

http://www.howardforums.com/showthr...850mhz-and-1900mhz-bands-too.-Works-on-ATT-3g

This thread is from last year before we really had a lot of mods to our phones. So maybe more information has been discovered?

Now we are flashing international ROMs and such and swapping modems as we like.

It seems odd that the Vibrant would be able to work on the ATT 3G frequencies but the Captivate would have been manufactured differently. And the I9000? One would think it would be capable of all the bands?

I do have both ATT and TMO sim cards with data on both plans. However, I only get Edge in my Captivate with the TMO sim inserted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpcdeux:
Wow. This hasn't been hashed out 100 times.

Cappy has different radio HARDWARE. Vibrant will get certain Att 3G band but the chances of you having correct band is slim since its older and slower 3G.
