[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hydro360:
Ok my problems started with flashing to cognition 4.1 to get the new kb1 modem. but then when i started flashing to other roms i would lose my market functionality. so i flashed all the way back to jf6 then did the kies update to 2.2 then rooted then still nothing has been working except cognition. i like cognition but i would quite honestly prefer pheonix. but i have a feeling its connected to TIBU. sometimes my market will work then when i start up TIBU it will start working then stop then it just wont work at all anymore. has anyone else run across this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 13_:
Three questions. 1. Did you clear cache from cwm? 2. Did you clear dalvik? 3. Are you restoring ONLY apps and data? It could be your restoring system, and that would cause some issues.

ok so this is my situation, i have flashed nearly 3 roms in the span of 2 days, and my battery life is horrible on all 3, Myn, mik 4.5 and 4.4, i updated all my radios, and wiped everything using format_all zip. . . and nada cache and dalvik too. . . i check battery and Android system takes over 70 percent of battery! do u guys think it can be a rouge app?

if so is there an app that monitor all apps my to check which ones use the most cpu?

? thanks! :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rrr1986:
Downgrade your PRI and try Mik's ROMS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dfskevinohyeah:
thanks for the quick reply?

should i downgrade only PRI or NV too?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
you should try process manager, it tells you which apps are running on real time and tells you how much cpu is being use, that should help you pinpoint if its an app. also ive noticed that every phone takes roms differently, because my wives phone had some isues that mine didnt in some roms and mine had some that hers didnt in some roms. i have noticed that that my battery life increased alot with setcpu and underclocking my evo to 245 when screen is off, also turn in settings moble network setting data always on, that will allow your data connection to stop when you are not using it for a while and come back on when you need it. also try turning mobile networks completely off and do a normal reboot, then turn them back on. ive noticed that with some roms when you first start your phone it immediately conects to 4g when it starts and when you turn it off, it still keeps trying to connect in the background, but when you turn mobile networks off and the reboot and then turn mobile networks on afer it reboots the problem is gone. hope this helps you with your battery life
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emcp422:
sorry correcting a typo in the previous post, i meant turn mobile networks always on to off
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dougjamal:
No, you do not need or have to downgrade the NV. The current baseband and PRI causes wake locks, thus, a major reason for the quick battery drainage. Downgrading the PRI should eliminate the wake lock issue and improve your batter life.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tropicalbrit:
Some people have said that they downgraded the PRI and didn't get the battery savings until they downgraded the NV. Just depends on your phone sometimes.

Here's a link to download different versions. Thank Calkulin for this, he is the man. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=715485

I've used MikFroyo, Myn WarmTwoPointTwo, MIUI, CM6 and CM7, and by far I would say I've had the best battery life with CM7 and MIUI (CM7 just barely better.)

Try a different kernel if you want, I just Tiamat 3.3.1 for AOSP ROMs and Netarchy-toastmod 4.3.4 (both CFS HAVS no-SBC). I've had good results, stock battery lasts a day with moderate to heavy usage.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeyburger:
I am new to rooting/installing roms ect. So I installed clockwordmod, installed a few roms and was running fine. I tried installing another one as it got addicting (cryogen). It won't boot past the startup logo. I am able to get back to the recovery mode. But whenever I try installing any kernel or rom I get the following error.

E: no misc partition

Amend scripting (update-script) is no longer supported. Amend scripting was deprecated by google in android 1.5. It was necessary to remove it when upgrading to the clockworkmod 3.0 gingerbread based recovery. Please switch to edify scripting..... ect... installation aborted.

I can't figure out for the life of me what I have to do to just get back to a normal stock version. I know have about 20 roms and have tried every option in the recovery mode. (I'm sure I screwed it up even more doing this)

[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
in the next year we will see if T-Mobile gets acquired.

AT&T's plan for T-Mobile is to take their towers and spectrum and use them to reinforce their 3G and then roll out HSPA+ and LTE.

When they finally flip the switch, your G2 won't work anymore theoretically because it only works for 3G on 1700/2100, which AT&T does not. They will more than likely have backwards compatibility for quite a while before they shut down the ability for 1700/2100 3G T-Mobile phones to access their network. At that time when they choose to stop using 1700/2100 for 3G I'm sure that there will be a transition plan for them to move users from their old T-Mobile phones to new AT&T phones.

I think by the time AT&T finally switches to drop all of 1700/2100 3G support for T-mobile, the G2 will be quite old news. We're talking a year before the acquisition even becomes final, and then they have to start in with their transition plan. We're looking at a long way off before this is happening.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TrueYears:
NEW YORK -- AT&T Inc. said Monday that if its deal to buy T-Mobile USA goes through, T-Mobile subscribers with "3G" phones will need to replace those to keep their wireless broadband service working. But there will be plenty of time to do that.

Dallas-based AT&T said Sunday it had agreed to buy T-Mobile USA for $39 billion. If approved by regulators, the deal would close in about a year.

AT&T said that some time after the closing, it plans to rearrange how T-Mobile's cell towers work. The airwaves they use for third-generation services, or 3G, will be repurposed for 4G, which is faster.

That would leave current T-Mobile phones without 3G. They would need to be replaced with phones that use AT&T's 3G frequencies. Ralph de la Vega, AT&T's head of wireless and consumer services, said this will happen as part of the normal phone upgrade process.

pretty much our phones wont work and they will offer us phones that do work so they can avoid grandfathering our current plans

Note that this suggests 1700/2100 LTE.

Although, LG does look really good in the Android game. If they live up to updating their phones in a timely matter. They're definitely going to gain the respect from the Android modding community.

I owned a G2 and it looked like stock android but it totally wasn't. Cyanogen actually commented on this issue when porting CM6 to the device, he said it was not stock android and had lots of htc elements in the build. You will only find stock on the n1 or the ns natively;)

I've searched thoroughly, and I can't find any simple recovery-flashable update.zip-style installer that I can flash on top of stock Eclair. Everything is done via Odin. I don't understand why? I rooted and installed CWM. I forgot to upgrade to Froyo before flashing my custom ROM, so of course the radio won't work. But something is wrong with my computer, and I can't use Odin. Fine, I made a Nandroid backup before doing anything, so I can just restore... except my backup is corrupt. I have been working on this for eight hours. Any help would be tremendously appreciated. Thank you so much.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
There are packages available that will let you update directly from DI18 - for example, Bonsai 3.0 (and maybe 3.0.1) will use the modem_delta patch. There is also a stock EB13 update zip, but it's the OTA version - and that was a notorious piece of crap because it didn't clear data.

Odin may seem like a hassle, but in the long run, it's definitely worth it.

Does anyone know how to change the product model number of A101?

I tried Captivate SGS Tools to modify "ro.product.model=" in "build.prop".

However, it doesn't work.

("ro.product.model=" doesn't exist in build.prop, don't know why.

I added by myself but every time I rebooted A101, it returned to the original status):confused:

The reason I want to modify the model number is, some specific software restrict the usage only with specific phone models.

Thanks in advance!:)

you have to use +rw to make changes on build.prop file persistent. after you installed +rw you can edit the file again and reboot.

So yesterday, out of the blue, my Captivate stops playing music. There is some kind of loose connection or something that makes the rear speaker have an intermittent connection. This applies not just to music but also to ringtones and notifications. Not good! Thankfully, the headphone jack still seems to be working fine so I'll be streaming ESPN radio tomorrow at work!!

The helpful AT&T rep giggled (I'm not kidding) when she counted the months since I bought the refurb off of AT&T website in October. 5 months and, gee! there's only a 90 day warranty on refurbs. But if you use your insurance, that phone gets a full year warranty!

3 options I see.

1. Fix the phone at a repair shop - is this even a reliable alternative? Never had a phone fixed before. Gonna call tomorrow to see how much it might cost to fix? Any ideas?

2. Use my insurance and pay the $125 for a replacement. And maybe then drop my insurance since I'll have the one-year warranty. I've gotten phones wet before and always dried them out and used them afterward so I'm not worried about that.

3. Try to find another smartphone locally without approaching the $125 insurance deductible. Not likely, I can't find anything decent in my area in the time I've searched so far.

Last alternative is, sniff, go back to my dumb phone and be happy the ringer still works. (I keep all my old phones in case we or anybody else takes their phone for a swim).

Decisions, decisions. What would you do?

[Thunderbolt General] Picolini:
First: I know it's standard for the home screen not to rotate or go into landscape. I'm not asking how I can get it.

Second: I am NOT looking for suggestions on how to get it, so please don't say [this] launcher can do it, download it [here].

Third: There is no third.

So I've got a Thunderbolt and so does a friend. She really wanted the home screen to rotate and I told it it won't happen. Well, she just came and showed me hers rotating! She said she kicked the stand out, set it on her desk and it rotated to landscape! Mine definitely, as it's supposed to, does not rotate.

I did a quick Google search and could only find on thread on the Android Central boards with people saying it's rotating for them. Then a bunch of people starting blabbing about other launchers that will let you. That has no relevance to the situation at hand, we all know third party home launchers usually give that option. Others also mentioned bringing the keyboard out, but holding down menu on the home screen doesn't even do that, so that's a no-go either. Plenty of stupid people on the internet...

They did however mention the stock background may be a common thing, and also the mention of widgets got me intrigued. However, I don't have any non-stock widgets on mine. I have however changed the background and the skin. She hasn't. We both have auto-rotate on in the settings.

Other than that, I'm at a loss! Is anyone else able to get the home screen to rotate?
[Thunderbolt General] RogerPodacter:
some launchers such as launcher pro and ADW launcher allow the homescreens to rotate into landscape mode. so you very likely saw someone running launcher pro.
[Thunderbolt General] Picolini:
[Mod Edit] Did you read? I hate to come across like an asshole but I made it VERY clear that it's NOT a home launcher. It's stock as I said, and I am VERY aware that 3rd party home launchers allow rotation.
[Thunderbolt General] shaddix2:
Great attitude to have when asking a q on a forum.

Ot: my homescreen rotates but I'm using launcher pro.
[Thunderbolt General] fatal187:
My stock home screen rotates when docked in the car dock. I think this is how most that say theirs rotate are referring too
[Thunderbolt General] Picolini:
Yeah, that could have been what they were referring to as well.

From my understanding it's just a magnet in the dog that enables the dock mode. My friend didn't say anything about the dock app launching up, or anything other than she just popped out the kick stand, set it on it's side and the homescreen rotated. It is possible it opened and she backed out of it without thinking about it.

But even after she picked it up and closed the stand it kept doing it. Maybe her phone somehow got tricked into thinking it was docked the whole time... ?
[Thunderbolt General] CGreen15:
Default

Do you mean that when she turns the phone on its side the screen also rotates to landscape? If so, this is just an option in the settings menu. To auto-rotate the home screen.
[Thunderbolt General] magneticzero:
that only rotates the screen in menus and not the physical homescreen as if you had a keyboard present and slide it out

You have to use the correct recovery image. YES. 2.x images will only work with 2.2 ROMs and 3.0.0.5 will only work with 2.3 ROMs. However there is 3.0.0.6 that will work with both 2.3 and 2.2 ROMS.
