Well...i tried holding it. double tap. triple tap. it wont unlock the goddamn screen. It doesnt shutdown though...and if I hold it it wont do flight mode, power down etc. Im on FroYo. Im thinking about rooting it, and installing a STOCK froYo. not that crap by samsung
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Won't make a difference, your button is busted. Ask samsung for a replacement.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Alright. Can you direct me somehow? And also when im rooting, it wont work at ALL. Its really pissing me off. Ive used Superoneclick 1.65-1.8. Ive done root, shell root...Ran as admin....ran as window xp sp3 vista sp2 etc. Its not working at alll..it always seem to stop here

[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Ehhh rage method? hitting the phone?
[Captivate General] newter55:
Lol. No he is referring to rooting with one click. It is an option.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
I have tried that..doesnt seem to work. The method by TGA? doesnt load on my computer
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The lesson here is that buying Captivates used off eBay and Craig's List is a bad idea. Sounds like someone offloaded their defective phone on you. Search for "random shutdowns" and you'll see why.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Sigh....It doesnt randomly shutdown though..just cant get out of sleep or root.
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
You likely had a hardware issue. I have read someone I think it's almost a month way back with same issue as you have now his phone was also bought from ebay. The power button (the plastic button in phone casing) of his phone is not touching the internal switch of his phone, all he does is unscrew and open the casing of his phone and found out that the power button is not touching the internal switch and and it was misalign. The problem have been fixed after aligning the latter.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Thank you for getting back on me with an answer. I will do that and try. Anyone have a method to root my phone? one click doesnt work and I wouldnt dare to use update because lack of my power button working. I cant install nonmarket apk files too...so i cant use that rooting apk file
[Captivate General] Pirateghost:
if superoneclick wont work, then NOTHING will......i would honestly odin that sucker back to 2.1 and start over. see if the problem is still there
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Hmm..superoneclick has never failed me til now..I still have faith in it. I looked at the log, it cant connect to my phone because it cant access it through the port. reinstalling usb drivers...
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
And 2 computer later....it does the trick...lol.

Rooted and now can install non markets apps. Going to unlock soon for tmobile. Anyone ever taken apart a captivate?
[Captivate General] sblees:
I think mobiletechvideos.com has a video where he took apart a captivate.
[Captivate General] ddangerdess:
If you're rooted download "galaxy tuner" from the market and remap your keys. My power button's going out so I just use volume down as my power D:
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Did the person whos power button didn't work post how he did it?

Also I finanlly got it rooted. Tmobile power!

Anyways how do I install a custom rom without a power button...or do you need it?
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Have you tried to flash stuff on clockwork mod without using the actual/real power button?
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
Didnt work for my captivate...Im on JF7 2.2 stock captivate upgraded by Samsung KIS
[Captivate General] mrjay711:
Youtube has videos on how to take apart a captivate. I wouldn't try flashing without a power button if I was u I don’t even know if it is possible because u need it to select in clock work recovery mode.
[Captivate General] JohnnyP.akaJP:
@ddangerdess I tried galaxy tuner, didnt work. Im on froyo stock rom. You on enclair? I so want to flash another ROM, but its pissing me off cause the power button no workie. I dont want to break into my phone unless its the absoulte last option.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] Fuzi0719:
Using the latest radio and a recent SIM, here in the Buckhead area of Atlanta I'm getting about 6.2Mbps down/2.1Mbps up with my Slide. So your speeds are way slow. But, I don't know what is expected in Augusta, i.e. have they done the tower upgrades there, yet?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] carlosze:
I'm using the new radio but an old sim card and the speed is too slow and sometimes lose signal but don't lose service, comparing it could be the sim card?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Fuzi0719:
I was dubious about the new SIM, but engineers at T-Mobile said definitely there would be a difference. The new SIM they put into the field last October is optimized for the new network upgrades they've put into place.

You are correct fine sir. The biggest issue I see with the speedtest results is your ping (the lower the number the faster) and distance to the server. I'm getting pretty good speeds, but my distance to the server is only 0.8 miles :p

i have 3 different music downloaders, i am trying to clean my sd card. Can i move all 3 music download files to just one file folder??? also, i have NAND Android installed on my hd2, but some folders called .android_secure, android and application Data. Do i need these files stored on my sd card?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Yes, you need your app data and android.secure folders. If you delete them, either some apps will lose data or not work, or the folders will be recreated anyways, or both.

You can move your music downloads into another folder, but your music downloading apps will likely recreate the deleted folders and put your new music downloads in them again.

Personally, I download all my music from fetchmp3(dot)com thru the browser, and they download to the 'download' folder. Then I rename them and move them to a folder named 'Music' on the root of my card.

I prefer all my songs to be in one folder, since I use TinyPlayer and it doesn't scan the card for audio tracks, it's directory based so I have it set to my 'Music' folder (so much better than having to deal with a playlist littered with ringtones and system sounds)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] 4ive:
yeah, my music player does play my notification/ring-tones, Why is that?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] huggs:
Its because it scans the entire phone/sd card for audio files. Theres ways to 'hide' ringtones and system sounds from it, but its a pain. Thats why I just use TinyPlayer.

Hi guys,

I upgraded to gingeredition recently and it's awesome! (thank you)

If I set an alarm for 2 minutes away, it works fine. On the other hand, my morning alarm never goes off. Does the gtab go into some sleep mode that would prevent alarms in the distant future from going off?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tvande:
I went from 5.1 to gingeredition and really loving it but I have seen the same with the alarm...used to work and now doesn't if it's very far into the future. I'm guessing if the device goes to sleep it won't trigger the alarm until you wake it back up. Then it goes off!

Seems like it's not checking the alarms while asleep/screen turned off etc.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DanRo80:
I had this same issue. I changed the backlight timeout to never, when in the alarm touched the lil icon to dim the screen and it eventually goes to a screen saver looking clock. I left it like that over night and the alarm went off in the morning.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] schettj:
You need to disable deep sleep during suspend (which is doable but takes some effort) or leave it turned on, plugged in or not, but not sleeping.

Check out Softlocker free on the market, and pershoot's OC kernel in the development section here. I'm running mine "never deep sleeping" and alarms/alerts work even if its been suspended for hours.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] h3dfuk:
Hey guys.

Just switched from CM7 to Coredroid 5.4. All looking good so far with the exception of SU access. A few programs such as Root Explorer and ROM manager are successfully granted SU permissions. However, I have not been able to grant any further permissions as I'm now told the phone isn't rooted?

Nothing has been changed or deleted in-between the other apps receiving permissions to others being declined SU access. Additionally, the apps already authorised still work and i'm told they have received SU permission via a pop-up each time they're run.

Can't see anything else on this subject, so I am sorry guys if this has been discussed before.

The phone is HTC DHD on T-Mobile UK. The superuser is latest version and auto-installed through Rom installation. Unclear whether I'm missing something, any tips and pointers are greatly appreciated. I'd prefer avoiding a re-flash if possible, oh and its s-eng on.

Thanks guys.

Haha, I remember when I first rooted my phone I wanted to download a ROM and see what the big deal was. So I get into ROM Manager, select a rom, and start the process of flashing it. Halfway through flashing, I accidentally hit the power button. Lol, the screen went blank, but I was too afraid to touch it for fear of making it worse. Finally, when it didn't do anything for like 3 hours, I hit the power button again and it just resumed.

I felt SO stupid. Specially since it was around 3 in the morning, and I was tired. :p

I've been flowing the Install guide found here, Step-by-Step (including repartition), but after I "install the ROM" and reboot, I never leave the ViewSonic bird page. Even after 20 min.

I've been trying to install VEGAn GE v. 7.0.0 STABLE RC1 on my tablet. I do NOT have a SD card installed. Does that mater?

The wording of this step is a bit confusing and I'm wondering if this is where I'm messing up. After I perform this step, what should I see in the menu WRT /system and /data? Should they read "unmount/system" and "unmount/data"? Or should they read "mount/system" and "mount/data"?
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
easy.... NvFlash and try again

you probably coming from a 2.2 version. Many people had this issue. You didnt do anything wrong is just that when going from 2.2 to 2.3, you need to Nvflash and after that you ll be good.

so go ahead and Nvflas;)
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackInAction:
Thanks, I'll give that try tonight, or this weekend.

What does nvflash do? I thought it was to reset the firmware(?) to some sort of base setup for those that bricked their tablets.
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djapatos:
yup,, that's it

and because it brings you to a stock ROM, you will have to start all over again, starting with installing clockworkmod, remember to use the 08 version;)

and after that just do the whole flashing process ( i m sure you know how)

good luck!!!!
[G Tablet Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BackInAction:
I figured out the issue. Apparently I don't need to perform the repartition if I'm installing 2.3(?). I use nvflash to get back to 3588. Then followed all the steps in the guide except the partitioning step and everything turned out fine.

Thanks.

[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
There was an article circulating last week about some clever Chinese seller who set up a 128MB USB stick inside an external HDD enclosure. They'd come up with some way to make it emulate a size, but when it began to fill up it'd just dump older data.

16GB Class 6 AData has served me well since I got it for my Nexus One in January last year.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] tonyizhurr:
I got the Lexar 32 GB class 10 and it lives up to a class 10. If you want to buy a cheap class 10 then its probably some shady class 10 has a speed of a class 4. Becareful. Go on amazon and get the Lexar one.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
I agree 110%.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Unbelievable. Those bastards (not generally, just those idiot knock off people).

I was looking into a 16GB, but shooting 1080p HD and 8MP pictures sure does pile up fast.

Wouldn't it be nice if there was a program that uploaded / backed up all your videos/pictures to you server while you were a sleep (on the charger.) I foresee it right around the corner...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] kampf:
Picasa should have done that in November 2008 when I got my G1. The fact that it STILL doesn't have this capability is one of my gripes with Android.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
True that. Probably because of the storage space, unless the program on their end converted the files down to a smaller size. We'll have to wait and see...

After looking around the Lexar seems to be the most promising option...about to order one now. Thanks guys for the input...

There already is! Titanium Media Sync automatically loads whatever folders you want (like the dcim folder of pics) to dropbox. I've been using it for a couple of weeks on two different phones, and it has worked flawlessly. It's a few bucks in the market, but it's well worth it in my oppinion.

If you go to college and have some textbooks, Amazon gives back good amount of credit compared to places that give you cashback for books.

EDIT:

Some info that can help with where or whom to buy flash storage media.

http://sosfakeflash.wordpress.com/

Also, here's a way to benchmark your flash media to verify the rated and actual speed of what you purchased.

http://translate.google.ca/translat...2&ct=result&prev=/search?q=H2testw&hl=en&sa=G

I run some tests on 2 of my Micro SD cards:

Wintec Class 10

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 10.7 MByte/s

Reading speed: 18.2 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

Sandisk Class 2

Test finished without errors.

You can now delete the test files *.h2w or verify them again.

Writing speed: 4.03 MByte/s

Reading speed: 19.5 MByte/s

H2testw v1.4

EDIT:

Run these tests with a Kingston micro Drive reader/writer that is plugged directly into a USB 2.0 port. I did not use the actual phone for benchmarking as I was afraid it might bottleneck the flash media.
[T-Mobile LG G2x] iunlock:
Great info. Thanks! Good to know...
[T-Mobile LG G2x] krabman:
I'm on a nexus one and contemplating this phone. I do have a few observations though that may apply. My class ten card is a legit card from kingston. I do get the right speeds if I take it out of the phone and put it in a card reader. From the phone however the speed is no greater than the stock 4 gig. Since I seldom take my card out I'm not sure I would spring for the more expensive memory since it also made no difference with apps to SD which was my actual concern and reason for buying the faster silicon. This is something which someone who already has a class ten can test out fairly easily to see if the story is different here.

[HTC Inspire 4G] JWJR:
I've had a HTC Tilt 2 for the last year and its starting to get less desirable than it used to when i got it. I love the phone is just that it is now to the point that i have to push the reset button at least 3 times a day...minimum. used to have to hit maybe once a week. it also sucks that there is a minimal amount of decent apps for it. so I can decide if i want to upgrade to the Inspire or the Iphone 3gs(can't afford an Iphone 4). My only big problem with either is that neither has a slide out keyboard like my Tilt does which i love because I can poke out messages real well on the virtual...i would probably get better if i was forced to though and that the battery life is kind of crappy on the Inspire. Can anybody out there help me out? Let me know if yall need more information from me to help any.
[HTC Inspire 4G] sraitter:
Battery life is manageable if you intend to MOD your Inspire. Stock ROM battery life is poor, trade off for the screen size.

If price is really an issue, look for a Captivate. Some retailers offer it for free and it is a BLAST once it is flashed (so is the Inspire).

Whatever you choose though, I can only advise you avoid the 3GS and don't fall into the trap of purchasing the LG Quantum or Moto Flipout just because they have real keyboards. You will just be SAD and BORED.

The iPhone is so last week ...
[HTC Inspire 4G] Muchbzy:
Just traded my Tilt2 in for the Inspire, and I love it. I too loved my keyboard and thought I would miss it but I don't. Yeah the battery is just okay but my Tilt wasn't any better and if you wark like I do I always have a USB close. I also ordered an extra battery, like I do for all my phones. Go for it, you won't be sorry and around here, it's 99 bucks.
