I am not able to flash any Rom or revert to winm 6.5 it will not find any driver for magldr usb flasher have tried everything its not the usb and not the device driver won't find the driver... So where is this mythical driver and how do I get it into device manager?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ocam78:
restar the phone keep volume press down . then windows recognise the usb and flash any windows 6.5
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeffbatiste@gmail.com:
Won't that boot the phone into the multicolored bootloader?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] malybru:
Hi,

I have the same problem which I can solve by installing Microsoft Activesync.

This will give you the necessary drivers to load MAGLDR and USB flasher etc.

:)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jeffbatiste@gmail.com:

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] T-Macgnolia:
You have to use Windows Mobile Device Center with Windows 7. You can get it from the same placecas ActiveSync.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
Because you were talking about windows 6.5 of course you need to go the magical multicolored bootloader.

My fix to this....

I had the same problem earlier this evening. I rebooted both the laptop and the phone and it worked fine after that. For some reason, my drivers wouldn't detect MAGDLR or CWM in USB Storage mode... Odd enough that this was the first time it happened...
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Anybody know of an app that can monitor the current Drain Rate of my battery so that I have something concrete? So I won't have to wait n watch every time after flashing diff. kernels n ROMs
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderman09:
I personally don't use it (Others on here do, though) but the one I see most used is Current Widget - free on the market.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
i use battery monitor widget by 3c06. it doesn't display continuous battery drain per se, but it shows the current draw in the status bar, which will give you an idea of battery drain with different roms & kernels. i believe 30-40mA is typical for the Tbolt at resting state
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Cool thnx. I'll try em out.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
K mine is 252mA resting. Could I be reading it wrong. Coarse I already knew my batt life was abysmal!

Now its 708
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
the current file only updates once per minute because of the driver, so you have to let it sit idle for at least more than that to truly get the idle power reading. the 252mA reading is not idle but a screen on reading, and the 700mA is with something transmitting or cpu crunching.

just let the phone sit idle for a good while with screen off, then check the current widget logs. TB sees around 40mA for some reason, while most other android phones see about 5mA during idle. kinda stinks but just the way the TB is right now.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyderman09:
[explained better by post above me]
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andydumi:
This is what I use as well. With a 5 minute update rate for the history. It also can create a nice text file for you if you want to export the history to PC.

Works great.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sublimaze:
mine was doing that too. i flashed perfect storm v1.4 + imoseyon's v1.11 kernel and now i'm getting a steady 40mA at idle
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Why can't I just shorten the update rate or punch "update now" to check current status. Anyway that's wat I've been doing n my ratings gen. stay awful. Plus no matter wat state its in, should it ever be as high as 700+?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Nvr mind. I get it: turn off screen, wait n check log.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
I'm checkn now. Have feeln its still terrible. It was amazing when I 1st flashed virusROM. I can't figure wats changed. Now I'm bak to getting bout 3hrs (like b4 I rooted) vs. 12hrs+
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Anyway, wat does an idle reading tell me? I have 'setCPU', I know its remarkable w the screen off (when I'm not using it) wat should I get or is good for screen on and during usage?

I guess I'll just in-apply setCPU profile to check n compare kernels n ROMs but isn't the screen off parameter built in to most kernels? Doesn't seem like idle reading tells me much.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
K I modified the update interval to every 30 sec's, disabled the "setCPU" 'screen-off' profile n then idled (turned the screen off) n found this:

First reading: 590 mA

Sec. reading:556

Third:596

Fourth: 648....

It goes in like this, a couple times going above 800.

WTF!?
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.s:
Looks like it's charging. Unless you changed the default settings, positive current is charging, negative current is draining (in the usage chart, and in the history).

The current utilities show battery current, not phone current.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
Nope. I wish. Those r all - #'s

Also w CPU set relatively low; around 1240 MHz. I've also tried lower.

I Noticed that it is MORE efficient w WiFi turned ON. Actually much more so. Between 2-300mA vs 7-800mA using CDMA auto(PRL)

Seems reversed right? N when I remove the setCPU widget it spikes 100mA more. (setCPU only runs in the background if u use the widget) so when I remove if, battery usage should go down (or least not change) not go up.

Confused
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CleveRuse:
I am getting lower #s w diff kernels. The above #s are w the new kernel. They were much higher b4. Now idle (w setCPU profile off) is between 2-300 mA (setCPU profile on I get 44mA). If I turn off WiFi (yes I mean off) then it spikes btween 5-800 mA idle (screen off)

I'm using:

-ROM; virusROM RC1B3.1,

-Kernel;bamf 4.3 (currently- I've tried plenty others)

I think its the ROM but I'm not willing to switch) I love everything else n it wasn't always like this.

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] whiplash13:
+1 as well for VTL.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] sheranosuke:
I have used about a quarter of the launchers on the list for this tab. I think that the best ones are VTL( for column and row size ), Go Launcher EX, and Open Home 6 ( has best transition animations as well as opening and closing animations) Most of the rest have sizing issues that I dislike. I am currently using VTL for the potential it has.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] MechAniX.one:
Its more of a reference to what else is out there. I was curious of what was available. Im sure others are too. Most of these are constantly being worked on. Its good to check in on them from time to time. Right now VTL.Launcher is my favorite. Mostly because Gojimi listens to what people like and he implements it.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ntnunk:
Another +1 for VTL.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] ubergeek4l:
+1 for VTL smooth and lots of settings
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] gpzjack:
I've tried many and always come back to zeam. I like vtl but I dont like the size of icons when I use it
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] SevernNavy:
VTL
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] EL TEJANO:
Same here. Though I do wish that the GUI was changed to accommodate the tablet while in landscape mode (i.e. allow icons to be docked above or below instead of the right hand side).

But as far as simplicity & the use of minimal system resources goes, I love Zeam.
[G Tablet Themes and Apps] mramirez23:

[G Tablet Themes and Apps] androidnoobie:

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k0nane:
3G, 4G, or WiFi? Any visible errors? There shouldn't be anything in the ROM preventing calling in or out. I would suspect another app interfering.

Yesterday I rooted my phone and flashed CM7.0 with no problems at all (thanks to the great noob-proof guide in the android dev forum). now I want to upgrade to CM7.0.2 but i have a few questions:

1) Do I just download CM7.0.2 then flash it via clockwork recovery?

2) Do I need to wipe data, cache and dalvik?

3) Do I need to backup my apps, data, contacts, etc.?

thank you very much!

2) No

3) No, but do a Nandroid backup within Clockwork before flashing

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conundrum768:
=======================================================================

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<SOLVED>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I found this thread (http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-1052796.html) which indicates that a voicemail alert, prior to the media scanner completing, causes this issue.

=======================================================================

So this morning I rebooted my phone. After it loaded into the home screen (but, before it connected to the network or finished media scanning) it began beeping, loudly. I was only able to silence it by turning the phone to silent mode. This beeping continued for roughly two minutes then stopped.

At no point was there any alert or message to indicate that the system had booted up in a manner that was abnormal. After repeated tries, the device makes this noise upon boot, religiously.

What the hell is it, and how do I stop it?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bulletproof1013:
Maybe if you gave more info...like rom...kernel...stock...recent apps...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conundrum768:
Well, my ROM info is in my signature and I am running the default Serendipity kernel (hardcore speedmod). There have been no recent alterations to system settings, setup, or applications. No new apps installed, or uninstalled, in the past week. And nothing is open on the device when the beeping occurs (as the phone is still starting up).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
Let me take a stab...might work, might not

Do you use Google Voice?

I was having an issue last month where the phone would give the odd old G1 beeping sound as soon as it reached the homescreen after reboot. Found it was a rogue google voice email message that was trying like hell to give me a notifier, but was failing miserably. Check your web console for GV and see if you have a new message waiting to be read (or listened to), open t so it doesn't eed to notify. That stopped my crazy beeping.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conundrum768:
I do not use Google Voice. It is, however, installed on the device. When I open it I am given a series of setup questions, so I don't imagine that it is telling me that I have a message waiting.

I originally thought that it was a message alert from some program. The problem with that is that it goes on for nearly one-hundred and twenty seconds and does not give me any visual indication of what it is attempting to alert me to.

My main concern is that it is some sort of hardware warning and that I am ignoring it out of ignorance.

Can you identify which file on the phone is the actual beep sound? I'm just wondering if something is specifically calling the sound file, or if it is random. If you could identify the file and delete or rename it, it might help troubleshoot to see what your phone would do/attempt to do.

im computer smart, but rooting/rom flashing stupid atm lol...soon to change.

questions:

1. how often do CM7 updates come out?

2. are there more stable, 100% undoable, ROMs out there that are better than CM7? if so what are they and are the steps the same as unrevoked3+CM7 flashing?

3. whats the best app launcher? or app launchers? also how to install em.

4. as far as themes go, should i venture out and try to create my own using templates (giving credit to the one(s) who created the template ofc)...or download ones off the forums?

So... i have run a few different 2.2.1 Roms. Many people talk about speed improvements and such and i tend to agree. But my question is has anyone experienced the glitchy feeling from them or random spurts of freezing up? In general it seems faster and a little smoother but for me it tends to have more moments of non responsiveness. I'm not complaining or any crap because i know it is a port from the i9000 and all that i just haven't read about anyone else having the issue when discussing the 2.2.1 roms.
