ok so i went to AT&T webiste to install 2.2. well not my phone is stuck on a black screen with the cell phone ! PC picture.. I have tried to hold teh volume keys and power etc.. nothing all i get is that picture.. What can i do to fix this tonite??
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Buy a jig. You would have come to that conclusion already if you had bothered searching the forums.
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Pull battery, sim, external sd. Put battery back in. hold just volume up and down, plug in usb. Do you get to an android guy with s shovel? If so you will likely recovery tonight. If not you will need a usb jig
[Captivate General] bay_wolf:
^ This. People don't always need a jig. (most cases they won't). Try that first then if every way imaginable of doing that fails. Build a jig (if you know how, there's a thread around here somewhere) or buy one.
[Captivate General] Redjules8:
well now if anything was CLEAR on the steps to fix this i wouldn't be asking..

I get the android with the shovel sometimes, but when i started the mini keis the install fails.. wants me to do emergency recovery which i do then that fails. that is when i get the cell ! pc screen..

sorry if i am asking.. just new to this and this was my first post..
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Forget kies for now, that is not going to help you now, you can get to that screen though correct?

Pull your battery, on the left side on the white sticker is your build number. Something like 1008. What is yours
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
This should help in many cases.

It might just be that you need a new usb cable because I had the same problem where it seem to get stuck when I tried to flash the new firmware and I got the same screen you got but I tried a different usb cable and it worked.
[Captivate General] boborone:
Come on mods do some modding
[Captivate General] Redjules8:
i think the build # is 1083

I just changed the usb cord. followed these steps:

This only works for the captivate, not any other galaxy s variant.

Situations: phone-!-Computer / no download mode

Black Screen / RST_STATUS 0x0

Procedure:

1. Remove the battery, external SD card and SIM card.

2. Wait 10 seconds.

3. Open odin3

4. Connect usb cable.

5. Hold volume up + volume down + Power.

6. Insert battery.

7. Release POWER BUTTON ONLY.

You should now be in immediate download mode.

Get the android guy with shovel.. downloading etc..

I looked at the odin screen and it shows:

0:[COM7} in the ID:com

But feels like nothing is happening..
[Captivate General] Redjules8:
sorry sticker says CE1068!
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
there is no model 1068 or 1083
[Captivate General] bornjamerican:
If you're trying to upgrade to 2.2 from AT&T then you don't need to enter download mode or recovery mode. First make sure that USB debugging is unchecked.

Go to Menu>Settings>Applications>Development

Go back to Applications>USB Settings

(Recommended) Check ask on connection

Assuming you already have the drivers installed, open Kies mini as this is how to install the update. Plug in the USB cord, check the Kies (firmware update) button on the phone and wait for Kies mini to find your phone.

If it finds your phone it will do the rest. Just be patient. Good Luck!
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Good one.. I like how you just gave him a bunch of advice he can't really use in a soft-brick situation, even after quoting him saying that he's soft bricked :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] flucks:
I do this regularly (switching between roms and kernals). The easiest way I fix it is to use Odin3_v1.0 and just load some random pda/kernal/modem files in there and run it. When it gets into the OS, just turn it off and use Odin3 to put I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0 back on it. Works every time.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
Am I the only one?

I upgraded to a native android device from a modded HTC HD2 to hopefully have a longer battery experience.

This battery is absolutely trash. My 2 year old HTC HD2 running Sense Android Non-Native ran at almost exactly the same.

I tested my HTC HD2 side by side with a close friend who has an Evo 4g.. Both Devices still being HORRIBLE in battery life performed almost IDENTICAL.

HTC HD2 is TWO YEARS old, why is it so close in performance to our device..

I love the phone in general, it's snappy (once i removed all bloatware).. Boots fast, runs nice.. i have very few complaints about it.

But how does an 1100 MaH battery run the SAME as an 1600 MaH battery?

I thought technology is supposed to improve, but my non native android phone ran almost the same as this one. Took longer to restart/boot up, but general speed is the same, larger screen size.. similar settings, and same battery life. Pisses me off frankly.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
That's how I felt. hopefully we will get rom's or gingerbread on this phone soon that will improve battery life. And by gingerbread I mean the leak from Samsung for the i9000. I've been reading reviews and it seems like it Greatly improved battery while speeding up the phone a lot.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Success100:
I have to disagree. I've owned may android phones including the evo. This phone has the best battery life in my opinion. I can easily make it almost all day with use without charging

[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] heartspains88:
Well like I said, i admittedly abuse the phone.. but I'm comparing to other phones getting equal abuse. It stands up about the same, better yes, but not by much.

If I'm barely using it however.. let's say, mainly just texting, yes it will last all day. But that never really happens.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] F1nest:
I love how people admit that they "abuse" the phone all day and then complain that the battery life sucks. If you're going to use your phone that much, bring your usb cord. Or strap a battery pack to yourself and plug it in for "all day" use and abuse.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] nikmash232:
It's the screen. If you want the super amoled you have to put up with the battery.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
What i don't understand is that why the Droid x which has similar specs to our phone can go up to 10 hours of continuous web browsing when our phone/vibrant can only go up to 4 according to tests. Is it because of the screen? If it is then that's just stupid.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] kirbychiu:
It was horrible for me at first, but I then realized the system has to calibrate the battery first. I am getting about 16-20 hours with moderate usage now, which is better than the G2 I had before.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] derrigan:
My g2 can go up to 28 hours with light texting and 2 hours of web browsing through wifi and 10 minutes of calls (manual syncs and low brightness also). Once I use the gps and browse through hspa, it's a different story. My sister has a SGS4G and her battery seems to drain faster than mine.

Oh, and if I keep my phone charged for a while after reaching the 100% mark, it stays at 100% even after 1 hour of heavy browsing and watching videos. I think we should all just assume that the battery meters are inaccurate.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DirtyPISTOLA:
I use juice defender and put my brightness setting on auto and I can literally go all day with "abusing" my phone.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] icy56:
WHAT? I have brightness on minimum with juice defender and all I get is 8 hours Max. All i really do on this phone is text and play words with friends so its not like i am abusing it or anything.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] de1packers:
How did you calibrate thee battery
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] thrashingdeth:
let the phone die, to the maximus. meaning once it turns off, turn on again until it doesnt turn on anymore. Now fully charge it, once again when fully charged restart the phone and charge it to 100 again. then let it die again, and full charge. should be fine then
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] simeezee:
i bought a 3500mah extended battery for my phone. the battery is designed to work with vibrant. it really made my life a lot easier.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] fm219:
I noticed if I set the phone to GSM only, battery lasts almost twice as long. If I'm on auto select (WCDMA/GSM), it lasts from 7AM till about 4PM.

But then again, I don't have a very good 3G/4G reception (or 2G connection for that matter), so my phone is probably working extra hard to find signal all day long.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] dualkiller:
The new Bali Kernel has shown tremendous battery improvement on my phone. I'm really impressed.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] MarkP80nj:
Same here.

I used to only have dark wallpapers and take all the other extra steps for my battery to make it through the work day, and as soon as i got home i had to charge it.

I'm now running fireflies live wallpaper, abusing the phone a little more then what i used to, and i still have battery to spare, not by the time i get home, but by the time i go to bed!!:eek:
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] bleemer00:
i also have installed bali. seems to do well, as said its all about the brightness.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] Alcoholic:
My problem with this phone is that wifi uses way too much battery. I have it to turn off when phone is asleep but i'll have the phone at 100% with wifi on. Put it on sleep. 4 hours later. battery is at 65%.

If i have wifi turned off. Battery will be at 98%.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] phonetec:
Just a show of hands basically, because both of these guys keep updating their kernels back to back it seems.

I personally use tiamat 3.3.3, these kernels have been good on my battery, and are pretty fast.

Which do you prefer?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
-Raises hand for Tiamat-
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thebeast614:
I agree Tiamat has been awesome for me...i had too much chopiness with salvaged-zen and i personally like the SBC addition to kernels and they stopped updating it with SBC i saw...but as far as battery life and smoothness goes, i choose Tiamat, hands down.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curl2k1:
Tiamat is great, but there is something up with bluetooth audio in his kernels. It's like the audio doesn't use the mic to auto cancel sound or something. Can't really put my finger on it. All I know is that when talking to the fiance after work on the way home in the car on yesterday, all she heard was road noise. Switched back to SZ and today its gone. Gonna wait a couple of revisions and try it again

Savaged Zen here. I tried Tiamat for a while, but I kept getting random reboots no matter what I tried. The first SZ I used was .9 bfs havs, and it worked great. Currently on .1.2 cfs and no problems.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zac95:
Savaged Zen All the way. Especially now (this is from march) the 2.6.38 line, im on the newest 2.0.2 and Its super smooth, I havent seen the slightest hint of any instability, and it rips on benchmarks and games
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Any Tiamat kernel sends me into random soft reboots, almost once every half hour or so. I can get it to stop by flashing ViperBoy's raise voltage script. Then it runs quite smooth and stable, however battery life sucks for me (probably from raising voltage) Savaged Zen gets my vote, it just agrees with my device way better for some reason, especially 2.0 CFS.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] algirnavi451:
SavagedZen works better for me than Tiamat. Had them both and both worked well but I like running BFS on my phone and the SavagedZen governor is a great governor for battery life and performance.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] keejung:
timat is really stable on my phone, but sz has always been much faster... now that he new sz fixed my problems, im staying with it
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OGPI:
I'm a fan of savaged but I'm cool with tiamat, still looking for a happy home. Im on SZ 2.0.2 which is giving me good battery life but still has the BS wimax bug. I ran tiamat a couple weeks ago for a few days but I swapped out once the random reboots started. Wish CM7, one of the best roms, also came with the best kernel.

[Xoom General] mangueirita:
Hi,

I've transfered some mp3's to my Xoom and I'm getting a Music Player error: "Error playing requested track", and most of the files indicate a 00:00 length.

Tried transfering with Windows Media Player 12 (which gives no error) and Windows Explorer. Explorer issues a warning saying that the files might not be playable, even for the ones I can play.

Other players like Cubed or Winamp can't play the same files either.

Even files with aparantely the same bitrates may or may not be played.

Does anyone knows what gives?
[Xoom General] patass:
windows 7 gives me the same message for all the media I copy over, but it all plays back fine n my xoom. Does your media work in your other android devices? It may be a drm issue.

i have that issue as well when trying to use the stock player with the media that subsonic has cached. i also dont like how the media player sometimes pops back up in the status bar when i wasnt listening to music. happens randomly a few minutes after stopping music.

You could try Traffic Counter by Carl Hopf, it works pretty well. It counts text, phone, wifi, 3G and you can set the period to Today, this week, this month, and allover

[Atrix 4G General] AlcatrazT2:
Any way to reset it (trying to see how long I can keep the phone on without restarting it)? It says 'Initializing etc. etc.' and the only way I can unlock the phone is by inputing my 4-digit security code. Thanks!
[Atrix 4G General] xdraconis:
Turn off, turn back on. Motorola recognized that this might be a problem from week one of the device being out. I would assume they are working on a fix. Happened to me a couple times.

EDIT: Didn't see the part about you keeping it on as long as you can. I have not found another way around it as of yet. I didn't try too hard though, I just unlocked with my password to get whatever I needed and then rebooted when I had a chance.
[Atrix 4G General] Colt45ws:
I had the same thing happen once.

I went in to settings and the fingerprint reader off, then back on. Of course I had to rescan my fingers, but its the only way I could find to fix it.
[Atrix 4G General] GatorRuss:
Fingerprint Reader Issues

My fingerprint reader won't load. I have a feeling I restored something that I shouldn't have in Titanium Backup, but I have no idea what I need to remove to get it working again.

My Atrix has the OTA update and is rooted.

I can only get into my Atrix using the unlock code, which I guess I also restored. I'm sure this is a simple fix, but I'm still learning Titanium.

:confused:
[Atrix 4G General] maledyris:
My reader crashed at one point. Restarting didn't work, and erasing my finger prints didn't work either. I wasn't able to input new fingerprints. The only way I could get it working was to remove the battery for a few seconds and the restart the phone.
[General Questions and Answers] Clammy_Hands00:
I searched Google and these forums before posting this, so if i missed the fix for this i apologize.

I am using a rooted Samsung Galaxy S I9000 with the stock ROM,

i was using clockworkmod recovery v2.5.1.0 and decided to click on "backup current ROM" or something close to that.

After i selected that option my phone rebooted and i was presented with a clockworkmod recovery menu. Here is the problem, i am unable to navigate the recovery menu with the vol up/dwn buttons or select anything with the power or home buttons.

Whether i reboot by holding the power button in or remove the battery and reinstall it, i am brought back to the clockworkmod recovery menu and can't select anything.

I am able to get into download mode if that helps at all.

Does anyone have any ideas on how i can fix this and get my phone to boot up properly?
[General Questions and Answers] Clammy_Hands00:
i have still had no luck with getting this corrected.

Does anyone know of anything that might work?

Thanks.
[General Questions and Answers] Clammy_Hands00:
Problem solved.

i used "adb reboot-bootloader"

This rebooted my phone normally.
[General Questions and Answers] stparker38:
Help!

I'm having this same issue. How did you run adb? Can you provide step by step directions on how you got it to fix? Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] CallMeVentus:
If your phone is stuck in CWM:

-Make sure you already have the Android SDK + Platform-tools downloaded and installed

-Go to the location where adb.exe is

-Type in

adb reboot bootloader

-Your phone should now reboot normally

[Thunderbolt General] David522d:
How do you guys like your new thunderbolt, is it better then your rooted droid 1.2ghz custom rom switching beast?

Sell me please cause i think its time i should get a new phone, this one looks promising but i need some help from you guys.:confused:
[Thunderbolt General] qwirked:
*raises hand*

Blows my OG droid out of the water. The Droid 1 is severely lacking RAM and internal memory department for modern versions of android and apps. Overclocking into the stratosphere an an ARM7 architecture chip will only get you so far...

Yes the thunderbolt is miles away better than the OG droid,
[Thunderbolt General] TheZuneLune:
I came from a rooted Droid. Last ROM on the Droid was Peter Alfonso's gingerbread ROMS.

As great as the OG Droid was, it doesn't hold a candle to the Thunderbolt. Fast doesn't even cover the speed of this phone and if you live in an area with 4G it's hard to conceive Internet as fast as VZ 4G

Also, coming from stock Android, I was pleasantly surprised by Sense and how easy it is to customize. I might be in thee minority, but I like the HTC messaging app/widgets so much, I don't even use Handcent anymore.

Also, the screen is nothing short of beautiful and responsive. I like my Thunderbolt more and more everyday. When we finally get Skype I will be over the moon.
[Thunderbolt General] EggoEspada:
I did and am loving it. It's so much faster and having a lot of RAM really gets you far. Also, I've been pretty impressed by Sense.

[Thunderbolt General] HorsexD:
I Had an OG Droid for a bit (Among other phones) , Thunderbolt faster/Better gaming/ Front Camera/ Bigger Screen/ 4g/ the List goes on...
[Thunderbolt General] MYxdaUSERNAME:
i love my og droid, but im not looking back. the thunderbolt is a beast and i'm very happy with it...even without the keyboard I thought I'd miss so much...only gonna use the droid if I get rid of the TB while I wait for something newer..
[Thunderbolt General] Zshazz:
I'm coming from a rooted OC'd to 1.25GHz OG Droid. The Droid was a great phone and I had lots of fun with it... but the low amount of memory was starting to cause issues.

The Thunderbolt is immeasurably faster. Everything is smooth and everything just happens instantly. No redraw issues ... the home screen just loads up right when I hit the home button.

I thought sense was pretty neat when I first got the phone, but I'm happy to have root so that I can get an AOSP ROM on this thing as soon as they start coming out. Maybe you'll be the same, maybe not. But you do have the choice :)

My recommendation: Get it on a one year contract. Tons of exciting things happening in the near future with phones. Next year we'll (maybe) have quad core phones with high DPI screens and better battery life.
[Thunderbolt General] David522d:
Thats what i think i'm going to do, and yes im going to root... I played with the phone and sense, its okay. But i'm going to remove it and have a nice stock feel as to when i got my droid, then its time for the fun.

Is the process of rooting easy? any one clicks now?
[Thunderbolt General] javajoe1981:
I came from an OG Droid... and all I can say is WOW!! this phones is awesome!

as for rooting, its really not that bad, there are some easy root methods you can find on here, and there is a very strong development community already behind this phone.
[Thunderbolt General] frodsteamin2:
Coming from rooted OC'd etc etc etc OG droid to TB and wow the difference in looks and performance is so much better.

Also just OC'd the TB to 1516Mhz. Amazing I tell ya.
[Thunderbolt General] xJawlz:
This picture alone should sell you on the Thunderbolt vs the Droid.

Aside from the obvious gains from the processor/ram the screen and just the all around feel of the phone is amazing compared to the D1. You will not regret this purchase. <-- that statement comes from a consistent buyers remorse victim.
[Thunderbolt General] Gearhead Geek:
Came from an OG Droid running Sapphire. It treated me well, but the hardware on the TBolt just blows it out of the water. Now if we only had some AOSP goodness lol.
[Thunderbolt General] Nobody's Hero:
My two-cents: I agree with everyone regarding the huge performance increase of TB. It's also a much sexier device than Droid. However, I am NOT digging Sense. It's mostly not the launcher itself, but its invasion of apps that were fine (nay, wonderful) before, but whose Sense version suck (calendar, dialer, music, clock, sms/mms...). My Droid has CM7 RC3 on it and I really miss the more vanilla feel. There's also a TON of bloat on the phone and looking at the running task list makes me want to puke a little. Battery life is obv. a huge change too.

TL;DR: performance is a huge improvement, I hate Sense and am anxiously waiting for a working CM7 ROM. Oh, and there's the 4G, which is amazing.
