[HTC Inspire 4G] geologistguy:
speed test result

I will preface this with I am a complete noob, so if I get something wrong don't bite. (and yes I have read all of the radio and GPS threads and stickies I can find).

I rooted my Inspire last week and flashed rumrunner 4.0, which I really like.

Yesterday I flashed radio 12.59.60.26P_26.11.04.21_M and the corresponding RIL HTC-RIL 2.2.0160HM, mainly because that radio had worked well for me before.

This morning I ran a bunch of speedtests each from a different server, attached is the screenshot of the results. I am pretty happy with these but am curious if they are good/bad/or average?

Thanks,

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
So, after recently replacing my phone, I received one with a really noisy battery door. I mean the sliding mechanism to take off the back plate. I've tried to cope with it, but it makes my vibrate unusable due to a huge increase in noise. Also, barely squeezing the slider part makes it creak annoyingly.

Does anybody else have this issue? If so, do you know of any remedies? I'm starting to get really annoyed with this, as it makes my phone feel cheap and I can't stand not having vibrate on during classes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guanakito100:
What you can do is put some tape or glue a thin plastic on the inside of the cover to create pressure that should prevent it from moving. It will be on the inside thats way it doesnt look cheap and it will fix both problems. Let me know if it works

Is there any way to make the embedded browser work like non-mobile 800px wide browser? Now it pretends to be wider so the fonts are tiny. If I zoom in there is horizontal scroll. It would be much better if the browser did not try to pretend that the width is wider than it is and render pages in 800px wide mode. I tried to find this option in settings but failed. Does it exist?

Im wondering if anybody can attest to the stability and reliability as well as safety concerns with running a galaxy s phonew at 1200 mhz. I see a lot oflash kernels boasting this overclock. Thanks in advance
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
Flash and find out. If it doesn't freeze, your good. Some phones can't handle the oc. There's really no grey area, it will either be stable, or it won't. 1.2 is the standard, and is probably the safest. I'm at 1.48 and stable.
[Vibrant General] advanttage:
I'm mainly concerned for overheating as I've cooked a couple pc processors
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
Use setCPU and set up a temperature profile. I have mine set so when the phone hits 120 F, the processor scales down to stock clock speed and cools off.
[Vibrant General] Bigby2727:
What kernel your using?
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
Bullet[EDT]
[Vibrant General] helikido:
U will not have any heat issues unless ur charging ur phone. When u charge a galaxy s phone ur gets very warm including in stock speeds
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Definitely. The Infuse 4G has the same hummingbird chip overclocked to 1.2 ghz by default, so it should run with no issues. I can doing 1.3 ghz with no problem. Can't hit 1.4 though.

Sucks since my last phone could handle 1.6 ghz (through a custom 1.6 ghz DOW kernel, thanks Morific!).
[Vibrant General] oka1:
It is safe but you lose battery life so that didn't work for me but it is safe and no overheating issues
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Dunno what Kernel i used but it was by Morific, and was discontinued for being unstable, but my phone has been able to go up to 1.4, they tried a 1.6 but was far too unstable or something.
[Vibrant General] Dan_Brutal:
I think the Manhattan project messes with the environmental properties of the phone or something.
[Vibrant General] XPLANE9:
Yes, the Manhattan project was a dud since it never really overclocked the device. In fact it only slowed it down.

But I requested a 1.6 ghz version of the DOW kernel from Morific, just for fun. Surprisingly it worked well with my old device.
[Vibrant General] madguitarist63:
That depends on the phone a lot. I know lots of people who use 1200 but I did with Overstock and Tigers Blood and my phone would freeze. Also use set cpu for the same side to keep an eye on temp.
[Vibrant General] R3LAXED:
I've had no problems oc'in, but it really does depend on your chip. Been running mine at 1420 for a week, super stable never gone above 29c under load. IMO, just have to give it a shot and see how stable it is for you.

I'm using Bullet and have been getting great battery life even with it fully OC'd. About 20-25 hrs with moderate use.

Hi everyone,

I found a cheap 1500 mAh battery (with charging cradle) for 8.30$ on Dealextreme, shipping included.

It's most certainly not 1500 mAh, but at that price I want to give it a try, as an emergency battery.

It's only my second post and I can't add links yet, so go to Dealextreme.com and type SKU 57063 in the search bar.

(edit: maybe this way :p) dealextreme.com/p/usb-ac-battery-charging-cradle-3-7v-1500mah-battery-for-samsung-i9020-google-nexus-s-100-240v-57063

Question is: will it fit in an i9023 Nexus S? On the site it's written for i9020, and I've heard there is a difference in thickness between the two models, so I'm wondering if it has something to do with the battery.

I've asked on the site but no answer for now.

Thanks for reading, sorry for syntax faults if any =)

Edit: i found this post: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=940263 more or less same battery manufacturer (yeah, China) and review seems pretty engaging
[Nexus S Accessories] lambda30:
First of all, the thickness of the i9023 has nothing to do with the battery. It has SCLCD, with backlight. That's what's making it thicker. So they've got the same battery.

Second, I wouldn't recommend any other battery than an OEM one. I have ordered this one a few weeks ago, so it should arrive on my doorstep in a couple of days. If you are patient, I'll make some tests and come back here with the results.

Nexus S battery

Hi,

The battery that you are talking about, I am currently using it and here is my personal review on the same.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1026003
[Defy General] Viridis:
Whatever I try, using System Recovery/Clockwork Recovery, when I boot up the phone it's still UK 3.4.3-11 Froyo, but now with a red motorola logo (Nordic firmwire I flashed I suppose) .

When wiping in recovery I get these errors: "can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2 (File exists)" and "error mounting /sd-ext/!".

I've create a FAT (should this be FAT32?), Ext2 and Linux Swap partition on my SD Card.

My original aim was to install CM7 from Quarx. Here's what I did:

Stock Defy UK (Other than root)

Used clockwork recovery to wipe and update to CM7

Booted fine (CM7/2.3), tried to then install gapps as an update.zip, then got stuck on boot at "M" screen on every boot

Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.3-11 UK with Blur

Superoneclick etc., tried to install CM7 again, had no effect

Used RSD lite to flash 3.4.2_177 Nordic - comes up with red logo, but hasn't updated to the actual blurless froyo

Tried again to install CM7, had no effect, still have the 2 errors on wiping

I've also found that when using stock recovery, it no longer does anything when I press the bottom right of the screen, it just stays at the green robot screen, I have to remove the battery.

I did get an app2sd error, which was why I partitioned the SD card using Clockwork recovery (bad move?), I then did it on my PC instead with an SD card adapter.

The phone's not bricked, since I've got a working 2.2 rom, however I've no clue what I've done to make it like it is now, and I can't install CM7 using clockwork recovery and the default recovery doesn't work.

I think fixing those errors might do the trick? Any help would be appreciated.
[Defy General] binodnepal:
I am also not able to install quarx rom, tried several times it does not boot and I had to reflash the sbf to get the phone working. Btw I do no have sd partition.

What I did was from cloclwork I tried restore, shall it be install from zip. No idea why I cannot get it running. I have nordic 005 at the moment
[Defy General] [] AL []:
...maybe you guys should start to read a little more before attempting flashing any ROM...

If you would have done that, maybe you would have noticed that some people warned about some mounting of the SD card problems in some instances (I don't remember the specifics at this time..I beleive had to do with Super1click version used to root)

And most importantly:

that for CM7 installation instructions ask you to use '2ndinit' recovery and NOT CWM.... In fact you should even avoid having CWM recovery installed before starting the process...

I'm a noob too guys, I sometimes appreciate the help I can get from a post here. But I try my best to find existing answers and read as much as I can on the subject first. Obviously, you guys did not do your homework on this one.
[Defy General] Viridis:
I did in fact read around before I started, obviously in the wrong places or not enough. I've been pretty naive but all the guides I saw recommended that recovery, I must have missed the posts about 2ndinit (which sounds a lot easier). In fact I hardly read the actual CM7 thread since it's around 190 pages long.

It's interesting you noted superoneclick as the first time it worked and I used z4root.

I think for now I'll just use what I've got, which is ultimately better than what I started with (2.1), it's just a bit worrying as those errors I'm getting seem to suggest I've messed up the internal storage; and the default recovery won't work.

Probably installing a beta CM7 wasn't the best idea anyway since I'm very new to this.
[Defy General] binodnepal:
Thanks al

I tried with cw recovery only. Tonight will try with 2ndinit. my sys info nordic 177_005 will I be able to get beta4 straight installing the zip

Hi guys,

I was using RODS MIUI with an ext card partition so far. Now today, I downloaded the new CM7.0.2.1 and flashed it using Clockwork Recovery. Once it was done, flashed the GApps 20110307. Rebooted.

Now the thing is, I can't find the GApps/Market anywhere on the phone. Its just now showing up. Is it because I didn't flash it right, or did I miss something?

And coming to the WiFi part, its stuck at 'Obtaining IP' forever!! PLEASE HELP!! :(

Just FYI, if it matters..

Rom Manager - 4.2.0.0

I got rid of the ext partition by doing a full format from my PC. I don't know if it really works, but the free space is now showing 14.8GB on my 16GB card, so i assume it worked. Did a wipe+flash again but ended up with the same problem.

And any idea about the WiFi issue?? It just gets stuck obtaining the IP!!! So annoying.

The calendar app is syncing just fine, but I'm not receiving any notices of upcoming events. In the settings - alerts and notifications are set to alert and a ringtone selected. Default reminder time 1hr.

The sync is on, but one thing I noticed is that when I do a manual sync, the sync icon just stays there. Unlike gmail, contacts.. those are a mere flash to sync.

Lastly, via the direct settings on google, I see an area for mobile setup but that just sends sms notices. I'd like it to notify me from the sync/settings on the app.. but this is an easy work around if necessary.

Any suggestions? (Edited: It seems that via google calendar directly, I have notifications setup via 'email'. To fix, they had to be changed to pop-up or be set directly in the app.)

Hi everyone,

Here's my problem :

Since some few days, my Captivate won't start up, and won't connect anymore.

The screen stays black!

I tried usually things : removing battery,sim,microsd, then pressing vol up, down and power, connecting with ODIN3.. Nothing happends.

It was bricked after a custom ROM update. I did format data, cache and .. system ! As usually, because I tought formatting system was necessary. Maybe it was the wrong thing that made it crashes..

So, I thank you a lot for bringing me any help !! :D
[Captivate General] gorgy76:
could you give pls a little detail. as to what custom rom did you flashed, is it the froyo rom or ginger rom? and elaborate further on what did you do when this happens it might give other people here some more understanding on how to help you. If your your phone won't power at all and the soft bottons won't light up and won't respond with key combos or even a jig you likely had a perma brick as in hard brick.!!......If you are still on warranty no worries just tell them that your phone suddenly dies and that you have no clue what happens to it.

I flash many of my phones, so, unfortunately, I can't remember what kind of ROM it was! I also try many of those I can find on XDA.

Here's what happens :

Had formatted data,cache, and system. Then, flashed the ROM, and selected "reboot". Just after that, I was making coffee.. So, I came back 5 min after, and the phone was .. dead!

After many, many, many Captivate's ROM flashes (maybe 70 !?), first time it happends!

The phone is no more under warranty, so I can't do anything.. :(

The jig is usually the last resort for some. That is if holding volume up and volume down then plugging in the usb cable into your phone ( the other end being already plugged into your computer) does not put it into download mode.
[Captivate General] h0ckey10:
U can either buy a jig from someone like mobiletechvideos on YouTube or make one urself using resistors (tutorials are scattered around the forum). U plug it into ur micro USB slot and it will put ur phone onto download mode. This works if ur phone is soft bricked and it may not work for u but definitely worth a try

sometimes the jig works, if you take out battery, DO NOT TOUCH ANY BUTTONS, put in jig. worked for me.

BUT your phone is under 1 year old. it has a warranty. if it happens to get broken in a way that they cant tell, and can never read the phone again... you get a replacement@!!!

think speaker magnet or

2 seconds in the microwave 1 or 2 times MAX.. dont want phisical dammage! and there is plenty of electronic parts to get messed up very easy this way

Wow, nuking it will cover your tracks if they try to access anything on it?
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
if it is electrically damaged and wont work, they cant access it, and they cant see your tracks...

and my buddy nuked a phone before, to destroy it for fun, there were sparks immediatly. if that happens the phone aint going to work anymore. so do it in very short bursts. you do not want any physical damage.

or wave it in-front of a LARGE magnet to degause it until it doesnt boot anymore.
