So I first had mikfroyo's 4.5 installed with the latest netarchy kernel (netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-nohavs-nosbc-noUV-universal-signed.zip) and I got picture but no audio. Audio only through videos like youtube or my vids I shot with my camcorder. when I would play a game or try to play music, no audio. So then I flashed myn's warm z two point two and the same kernel and now I get the video to work with hdmi and the audio plays out of my phones speaker with everything now. How can I get the audio to work on my TV?!

any help is appreciated thanks!

hi, I am trying to configure a droid 2 global in cdma, i had configured the droid1 before pressing the "T" key and power to reconize "Motorola USB Network Device" but in the droid 2 global is not the same, I need to connect this with "HW virtual serial port" to "QPST" for programing the iusacell mexico CDMA values, I hope you can help me, thanks

[Droid 2 Global General] cellzealot:
The Motorola USB Networking driver is loaded by default on DX,D2,D2G and Pro.

Use the same settings as for the Droid and it will work fine. No key code needed.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulrain:
Has anybody had an issue where when they press the power button, the screen will turn off for a moment, then come right back on? And if so, does anyone know a solution? I've looked around on the forums a bit, and its a problem on other phones where the screen has to be at at least 40% brightness, but it happens to me no matter how high or low the brightness setting is. Running ACS 1.0.2, but it has happened on other ROMS before, so i doubt it is a ROM issue.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] om3ga1582:
I have had this happen too, but only in CM 7. And just figured it was because that rom is in the alpha stage right now. I have not had it happen in any other rom so far. When it was happening it was only some of the time. Was never able to figure out what the differences were when it would and wouldn't happen. Seemed like it was just random.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulrain:
I've since found this happens very often when the brightness is up all the way, and the lower the brightness, the less it happens. Could this be a software problem?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sneezy316:
I had this happen a few months ago. I wasn't sure what was causing it. At first it was turning on the lock sound, and the sound would play after the screen shuts off. Then the sound would kick the screen back on. I believe I changed ROM later and it never happened again. If you are on a custom ROM, maybe try reflashing?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BloodThirstyEmu:
I have had the exact same thing happen on 2 different Roms. Just wipe and flash and it fixes the problem.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulrain:
Unfortunately that only lessened it, not fixed it. It still happens enough that I leave the brightness down. Tried multiple times. :/
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spitefulrain:
This still happens on a fresh stock install of EC05. Could this be a hardware issue that I should get checked out?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
I currently have a botched version of Froyo 2.2. And I have been having troubles with everything i've tried. I followed this video to a T http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UDtxnH4lFuk and ODIN keeps giving me problems. It will not detect and add my phone thats it. Can someone please help me, and if you need additional info on my phone just let me know. Please help me i'd like to revert to eclair and update the offical 2.2 atNt update to my phone. Thats all I want to do. Also Im running Cognition 3.04 and kernal 2.6.32.9. I tried to use the Kies update but it says my phone can not be updated. Please help me! And my phone is rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Have you tried multiple USB ports
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
If other USB ports do not work, and if your Captivate build number is 1009 or lower (you can find this number underneath where your battery is, on the actual phone itself), then try this method:

Also, make sure you know how to go to Download Mode, and that you have the drivers installed properly.

This is the manual (or "full") Odin, it's taken from a post by icezar1 in the Development Forum:

Do not use this if you want to send your phone back to ATT or Samsung for warranty!

Do not use this if you know you flashed a -LOW- ODIN package (when opening the PDA***.tar or CODE***.tar you will find inside boot.bin or sbl.bin)

Use this if you want to go back to stock before flashing a custom ROM.

Use this without worries if you changed your boot screen image or if you flashed the secondary boot loader which allows you to enter download/recovery with key combos.

Download the package from here

Download the phone drivers from DG's thread if you dont have them already. [Note: You should already have this xpiamchris, it will be the same one I asked you to download and install]

How to:

Remove sdcard and SIM card from the phone

Extract JF6_secure.zip somewhere.

Boot your phone in Download Mode

Run Odin3 v1.3.exe

Plug in your phone via USB

Click on the button PDA

Choose JF6_secure.tar.md5

Click start

Wait and do not unplug cable until it is finished
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Yes I have, could it be because i, on an old computer running windows xp with usb version 1?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
I did everything you said, and still nothing, Odin didnt even read my phone when I plugged it in. My phone was set with debugging on, and in download mode. I extracted the JF6_secure.zip to my phone and the Odin folder im using to do this, because I was not sure were you wanted it. And still nothing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Try a different USB port. Reinstall the drivers as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
usb 1.. maybe.. drivers might have a hardware requirement for 1.1 or 2.0 and up.

you extract to the computer anywhere, use odin to find the file anywhere on your pc. you dont need it on the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Okay I got odin to read my phone (COM3) phone was in download mode, debug mode, and the program ran for awhile, looked like it was going to work and that it failed. What could I possible be missing? I have the current Captivate drivers, the SDK files, and the adb files. This had been going on for two days now and all i want is to go back to original eclair firmware. I appreciate you guys helping me by the way. We will get this eventually :) If I want to just say screw this and install serendipity, how would I do that? Currently I have cognition 3.0.4 or another...would I still have to reflash my phone so cognition is off?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
It'll be the "best" idea to.

But most good ROMs (I'm sure Serendipity would), do a wipe of themselves before the install anyway.

If going back to stock is giving you this much grief, might as well try to get on to Serendipity (personally for me anyway).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
And sorry im such a noob but one question, how do I install serindipity? Do I put in on my phone, boot to recovery, seclect the serendipity file and install? Thats it i dont have to delete cognition or anything??? I also have clockwork if that helps any. Which drivers are you referring too as well? I know there is drivers for the phone and google usb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Yep, that's exactly how you do it. You might want to back up your stuff using Titanium Backup though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Thank so much. I will do that and post on here how it goes you are a tremendous help Venom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
No problemo, anyone here would've done the same...

And good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
One more noob question do I have to rename the serendipity.zip to update.zip?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
No, keep it as the normal filename. In CWM Recovery, there should be an option where it says "install .zip from sdcard" (or something like that). Then select "choose zip from sdcard". From there, you can choose the .zip to install (it will list all .zip in your sdcard).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Thanks for all your help going to try it now, can you give me some Thanks i know i didnt do anything for you but i just want a few lol...i gave you a thanks on all your posts :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
I have a question just found a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FzDb6m7sQ7A&feature=related and it says to dial this number (*2767*3855#) with out the ()'s to restore my phone to factory, i havnt tried it but does seem like a good idea or not?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
You can do that if you want, but be reminded that EVERYTHING will be wiped out. Including your root access, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Will i be able to re-root it again though??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Yeah sure, no reason you shouldn't be able to. But I'm not sure what base ROM your version of Cognition is running... Might get a bit weird/confusing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
the ## code thing wont work from a custom rom, your factory data isnt on the phone anymore. you have to use a stock flash and odin to go to stock.

you DO NOT need to go to stock inbetween roms no days. most roms do a wipe as first step, and do not rely on original files being there. only go to stock when things mess up big!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
What if I back up all my data on an external SD card or my computer using titanium backup? Would I be able to restore my files after dialing this number?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Is there a manual way to go back to stock cuz odin is not working for me?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
No. If you backup using Titanium Backup, you will have a folder in your sdcard called "Titanium Backup". Put a copy of this folder on your computer, flash back to stock (or to any other ROM).

Reinstall Titanium Backup (and you will need root access again for it to work), and then restore the backup that will be there (as long as you don't do a factory reset/master reset).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
If you tried both these ODINs:

2.1 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=SBSMALFJ

2.2 - http://www.megaupload.com/?d=QL6NX702

And also the one I've psoted for you in page 1... Then I suggest just flashing a new ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Okay I appreciate your help if I need more help (which I might) ill post again lol thanks guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ferls1985:
Okay so now I have new problems. I downloaded serendipity 6 and installed it via clockwork mod. It ran successful, and than i restored everything using TitaniumB. Now my phone works, I can make calls, cant recieve them though it just rings real fast and the number dosnt even show up of whom called. Also I can not send any media messages from my phone. Any ideas of what I should do????
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donharden2002:
Reflash it and then d/l titanium backup again. If you can buy the the version of titanium it will make life easier.

Now only install your apps. Dont install anything that says system. Only the apps that you have saved from the market.

Try that and then let us know how it goes for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
mms problems are usually due to APN settings.

[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
In an effort to make the G2/DesireZ Forum easier to navigate, please leave all suggestions for improvement here. I will make every effort to reply as promptly as possible.

Thank you for your help in keeping the forums clean :)​
[G2 and Desire Z General] hispeedworm:
well i would like to begin with 2 suggestions....

1. all posts with visionary as rooting method should be flagged as outdated and a recommendation put up to use rage and gfree as the recommended rooting methods. there is a sticky post on desire Q & A section with a video how to root with visionary which should be removed from sticky section.

2.The Wiki section should be more accessible and more upfront and be visible in all the sub forum sections. just like announcements are visible on every sub forum. as the wiki section has the most up to date information about rooting and currently recommended methods of rooting and returning back to stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Perhaps several sub-forums should be created within Android Development dedicated to supporting the more popular ROM releases (Cyanogen, Virtuous etc) as the General forum is filling up with issues and problems relating to non stock software.

This will both improve experience for both stock users, and those requiring help / support on non stock software.

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z General] leehopley:
maybe we could have separate sub sections for things specifically related to the desire z and the g2, such as radios, as its not yet clear whether we can flash desire z radios over g2 and vice versa. :)

cheers!
[G2 and Desire Z General] pmcqueen:
this times a bajillion.

I can't believe how many "help I've bricked my phone" threads are popping up due to visionary... needs to be addressed.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theTwiz:
+1

and for the non-stock section, maybe a better way of segregating the threads based on what type of rom or kernal they represent, i.e. froyo/gb or sense/non-sense. the [TAGS] devs use are a step in the right direction, but don't really go far enough to keep the jumbled mess of "VISION_SENSE_WWEAUSTMOB_453.232.2.4 TURBO AWESOME EDITION" at bay.

p.s. <3 u guys/gals
[G2 and Desire Z General] ajcollins01:
yeah we need that
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
I am sorry but that would require a complete restructure and is unlikely to happen.
[G2 and Desire Z General] craiglay:
Could we create the Sub forums without having to restructure? As in leave all current threads in place and stress that newly created threads are created in the correct sub-forums? I appreciate that your time devoted to the website is voluntary and much appreciated but if this could happen, it could make the experience better for everyone.

Thanks!

Craig
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
That would in essence create more chaos then needed. Look at the things stressed now...do you see less people posting in Dev? No, they still do because ppl do not RTFM! ;)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mejorguille:
Could you consider cleaning up the amount of stickies? I know that all of the information in there is important but dedicating 25% of the page to stickies seems a little ridiculous, especially if you've already seen them. I can see the 5 in the developement section easily being trimmed down to 2. The worst case I've seen of sticky overload has been the G1 dev section, it has 8 stickies lmao.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
I went ahead and moved 1 stiky to the sticky page, but the others need to stay - they are there for a reason. You may have seen them a dozen times but XDA grows by thousands of members everyday, those are the persons I need to read these stickys.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rb14:
So, having asked for suggestions, is anything being done?

For me, this forum is dreadful. I've been around XDA for years, it has been a source of hugely useful resources. Now though, on this (G2 and Desire Z) forum, and for example on the General sub-forum, 75% of the posts on the first page refer to issues around rooted phones. I'm not alone in having a totally stock Desire Z.

There really should be some order. Is it that difficult to instigate some clear rules? If we can't have a "Stock Rom" subforum, can we not at least demand that all new posts start with something like [Stock], [Rooted] or similar?

In the past I've donated money towards the upkeep of the site. I'm writing now because my visits have become so infrequent, such is the level of disorder.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
Thank you for your feedback. If I am to understand you correctly, you are frustrated because most of the post have to do with a rooted phone and you have stock? Have you ever thought that the reason for this is most of the users here have rooted their device? I am sorry but that is not something I can control. As a moderator on XDA and a multi-device owner, I am well aware of the state of forums across the board and the G2/Dz is not the only forum with rooted and non-rooted users. As of now, there is no plan on creating a special sub-section for non-rooted & rooted phones. Your best bet is to search.

As for requiring tags to sepperate the two, I have enough difficulties getting Devs to tag their work properly, just imagine how much more so it would be to demand every user do it. This would require every user to read stickes and forum rules and abide by them. Lets face it, if every user did that, XDA would be heaven.

Your donation of moneys towards XDA does not really come into play here, as a donation is given by your own free will and does not entitle you to anything extra.

XDA Admins and Moderators are working hard right now to fix some of these issues that have made our members shy away. If you pay attention to the Site Announcements, there is often news about the progress. Expect a lot of change very soon. When things are implemented however, it will be site wide, not forum specific. Keep an eye out if interested.
[G2 and Desire Z General] rb14:
Well, you asked for suggestions. If you don't think the suggestion I made is worthy of action, fine.

You suggest that my "donation of moneys towards XDA does not really come into play here, as a donation is given by your own free will and does not entitle you to anything extra." The point of mentioning my donating towards the site does "come into play" in pointing out that where once I was a regular visitor, I am now less so. That is a direct result if the chaotic nature of this forum. In no way am I expecting "anything extra" and it is offensive that you suggest I am.

I don't actually want a sub-forum for rooted and non-rooted phones. I'd like posts to be made in the right place. Even today on the "General" subforum, two of the top three threads are:

"Cyangenmod 7.1.0 and higher nightlies are slow"

"Recovery error information thread (E:Cant mount /cache/recovery/command)"

The first sticky of the sub-forum "G2 and Desire Z Android Development" is the thread "Development Q&A - Ask Development Questions Here!". Assuming the aforementioned two threads don't fit into that sticky, why aren't they in the main part of the "Android development" subforum?

I eagerly await the site-wide changes.
[G2 and Desire Z General] bradley_e_smith:
Have a "I Agree" button

I see a lot of +1 or posts where the user agrees. It would be nice to have a 'I Agree' button and have is displayed somewhere. It might cut down on some duplicated posts.
[G2 and Desire Z General] TheRomMistress:
We all want things to be posted correctly, unfortunately it almost never happens that way. This is why we have the report post feature; to help mods move things to where they belong, as we can not catch everything. You can not make a user post correctly as much as you can not make them tie their shoes correctly.

The "G2 and Desire Z Android Development" was put in place to avoid having tons of questions in the ROM threads themselves. It does not necessarily mean they cant post in Q&A, after all, that's why it is there.

The problems you mention, again, are site wide, not forum specific. This thread is more for suggestions on stikies, organization and the like. The issues you mention are being addressed site wide as I said before, and can not be handled by just me. If you are up for a good read, check out the latest site announcement. This is our attempt at "making" people post correctly.
