[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neezygfx:
LMAO!

Im a expert modder with a very hard bricked cappy. I made a simple mistake by loading the Continuum V5 with boothloaders (no probs) then trying to install the 3-button fix. Destroyed my sbl and now its so far gone. I orderd a new one on Ebay along with a Nexus S i9020A (At&t bands) to play with.

So as a friendly reminder for everyone, make sure your primary and secondary bootloaders always match or get ready to build brick houses.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dino.:
I think this just happen to me...

Right before the update to 2.3.3 lol! I was trying to restore some old stuff and I guess I selected a 2.1 back up and restored everything (including bootloaders I assume) and now... hard brick. Guess ill see what I can do at ATT.

buttons, usb, nothing makes it say anything. I've had soft bricks before but this is total hard brick.

Update: Somehow even though the power didn't do anything, and plugging in the usb would do nothing (not even battery icon)... after trying multiple times I was able to get download mode thankfully. I guess I was less-softer-bricked lol! And the battery was over 70% before it was "bricked"

He has recently started working on JTAG for Captivates. He has a thread around here somewhwere. Adam Outler was also working on JTAG, plus some very new things on how to unbrick with methods other than jtag.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] connexion2005:
I know offer hard debricking on Captivates using JTAG methods. I took extra time on these PCB's as they are truly among some of the smallest points I've seen on any phone. Even people with electric engineering backgrounds were burning them up. I have now fixed the last 3 in a row I've worked on so I made the service public and plan to only get better and better... :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l2otten:
the one in the video is soft bricked

i actually just sent my captivate in to MobileTechVideos

(Josh) and he fixed my hard bricked Captivate Thought It was A Goner.................

A brick Is A Brick doesnt do anything btw.....

my phone was a brick did nothing when you tried to power on the phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anandsamuel:
Hi guys... i saw that video on youtube in the OP... i understand from what everyone is saying that it was a soft brick... I have a situation... my friend brought a captivate to me which i thought was a hard brick because i couldn't get the phone neither into download nor recovery mode. however when i tried to turn the phone on it got to the AT&T screen but then started to have bootloops. Took the battery out, put it back in and plugged in the charger with the phone off and it just showed blinking battery sign on the screen and i think even that screen was boot looping lol...

So based on the terms described above im assuming that since there is some life to the phone still, it is soft bricked or clay lol... am i right?

I prefer the WiFi Hotspot. Creates a wifi router in your pocket. Adds some freedom and you can connect multiple devices.

Hardwire tethering can be more reliable but not so much that is it worth the risk (plus it looks stupid).

Which keyboard are you referring to? swype or android? I flashed Xtreme green over com ROM and it themed my keyboard. The themed android keyboard is named latinIME.apk if you are trying to locate it in the /system/app folder. The one that came with the com ROM should be named ime-mtm-stock-gingerbread.apk.

I'm having 0 issues with my DVP. BUT what I am haing issues is finding usable apps, not on the marketplace.

Every time I think i fine something useful like say a file explorer i find this noted on the page.

I'm not a big user of Apps but certain things should be usable no matter who makes your phone, I mean it's still windows. :mad:

You are either the only NOT having problems with the 16GB Dell Venue Pro, or you have an 8GB Dell Venue Pro.

May 4th Venue Pro just died last night. Won't boot past the Dell Screen. These phones are complete POS. I am starting to lose my mind with these things. PLEASE.... if you don't own one, go with an HD7 if your are with T-Mobile. I don't care how much brighter the Venue Pro screen is, it is not worth the headaches of the 15-20 crashes a day. Or as I just stated -- the phone completely dying.
[Venue Pro General] 1plus19:
have you solved your problem?
[Venue Pro General] missionsparta:
Nope... they say they will send another, but I have to wait for them to manufacture it and ground ship it; hence - in about 3 weeks. Another monthly payment with no phone. I have really given up. These things were never built correctly and never will be. If you would like to see where I am at mentally:

http://en.community.dell.com/support-forums/mobile-devices/f/3824/t/19376375.aspx

I have to figure out a way to get an HD7 cheap I guess. I am not dumping another $400 on a phone. I wish someone from Microsoft would read this and see that I love my Zune, love my Zune software, and Love the Windows Phone 7 OS. But all this is being completely ruined for me by the Dell Venue Pro.

If someone from Microsoft is reading this... HOOK ME UP....get me an HD7 at cost! I need another Windows Phone but as I stated, I am not dumping another large pile of money into an almost identical product (minus the crashing and now permanent lock-ups) less than a year after I already forked money out.

MICROSOFT --- PLEASE HELP US. At least pull the Windows Phone license from Dell. They are taking your great operating system and dragging it through the mud. Everyone I know is incorrectly associating these Dell Venue Pro fiasco's with Windows Phone 7.
[Venue Pro General] theusername:
I havent had any issues with the phone. If you have having a problem with the apps installing, just wipe the phone and reinstall the update. If you still have problems just have Dell send you a new phone, you may have got a bad one. That happens sometimes with every type of phone. Personally, I think that these people complaining that the phone is a "POS", is more user error than anything else. And for them Im going to recommend a non-smart phone, and the idea that a developing website may not be the place for them if they cant even figure out how to work the phone. If you need help wiping the phone back to stock and then updating from there let me know. I can post the steps for you.
[Venue Pro General] missionsparta:
That is close to the most insulting thing I have ever read. I smart phone isn't for me. I may not be able to code apps and develope a website, but this isn't rocket science. I have gone through 4. There is no "user error". The phone's have just crashed under normal operation -- app loading or not app loading. There are so many complaints all over the web by tech savy people (go look at the guy over at zdnet) with the exact same problem.

Since you are chalking this up to "user error" , enlighten me as to what you think has been done? As far as a wiping the phone back to stock, it is stock on the Dell screen. I can force a hard reset with the down volume, camera, and power button, but it fails everytime.

As I stated, before you chalk this up as "user error", go do some research on the web. The failure rate of the 16Gb units is astounding. There is not a whole lot of things you can do to these phones to brick them, unless you start tampering with the SD card, jailbreaking or hombrewing the OS, or both. Other than that it is pretty much idiot proof.

Thanks for trying to downplay the situation, but I am sure most people on here are not buying your excuse.
[Venue Pro General] theusername:
I have two 16GB Venue Pro's, one I use for personal use and one for development. I received my first DVP about 2 months ago, and have had no issues with it. I ordered my second one, and have it for about two weeks with no issues. So between development and personal use I have seen no major issues with these phones. The only problem I have seen here, is your many threads and complaints through out this section. Frankly if you have had 4 phones and they all seem to have problems, the only common denominator there is you sir. XDA is for development and help, not just to flame phones and complain.

I would ignore him, there are obviously good working units but the issues are real, documented and acknowledged and anyone who would dismiss that fact just because he has had a good experience is not worth arguing with. Been through 4 myself so I guess I just dont know how to use the highly advanced features of the Dell :)
[Venue Pro General] alodar1:
I've had 3 2 have been good. So I know there are issues. The one I am using right now is really good. But I only add the really part when I swapped sd cards. So that is indeed an issue. I assure you I have neither user issues nor flame anyone. Missions statements are true. Your points about complaining and flaming are right on though. At some point threats and complaints fo become overwhelming.
[Venue Pro General] theusername:
I'm not trying to upset you buddy, I'm just saying if you hate the phone return it. You don't need to keep posting everywhere here about how much you hate this phone.
[Venue Pro General] slight22:
I'm having 0 problems with the phone itself, and the apps from the marketplace are fine.

My issue is comeing from the actual usable homebrew apps. The ones we actually could use for something like adding ringers and files.

And I do have the 8 gig model with NoDo and am looking into a 32gig class 10 microsd card but it cost me almost 600 for the phone. (UPS charged me 80 bucks for crossing the border)

so for me it's quickly becoming a usability issue, not a phone issue. THe phone works as planned.

[Xoom Themes and Apps] Danger_Dan:
+1 on EzPDF, the other PDF viewers still feel a bit buggy to me. By that I mean they don't utilize the entire screen, for some reason scroll up/down instead of left/right and the worst issue, long page loads. When I say long, I don't mean a loooonnngg time, but long enough that you actually see it render from blurry to sharp. EzPDF doesn't do this, perhaps it pre-caches the next page and preempts the need to render in your face.

I've tested quite a few of the PDF viewers, and quite frankly I'm surprised Google didn't have it built into the Chrome browser like on the PC. Adobe has yet to release a HC version of the PDF Viewer, but I saw a thread earlier today that mentioned they were able to load the apk manually and get it to work. If you try to d/l it direct from Adobe, you'll get a flag stating your platform isn't supported.

I don't need annotations so much as would like a dedicated reader that utilizes the FULL screen, left/right page-flip, remembers where you left off in multiple documents and I do not want to see the page rendering before my eyes. For now, EzPDF fits the bill. If only they'd add a "night mode" to invert the colors so I don't burn out my retinas with the lights out. :D
[Xoom Themes and Apps] KNK:
There is a night mode on ezpdf and from what I can see so far it does remember where you left off with multiple pdfs. ezpdf has gotten better so I have switch back to it for now.

First off to edit your post look at the bottom of hour post beside the thanks button you will see a edit bitton, you will have to click advanced edit if you want to edit hour thread title.

Ok about your CWM, do you have your ROM's zip file on the root of hour SD card? You can also try reflashing CWM but make sure it is the right portition size for the ROM you want to flash. If that does not work run a Task 29 and then reflash MAGLDR or cLK which ever one you are using and then flash your CWM again. If still no joy post back here with hour exact steps you did and the results.

Not particularly but the reason it won't work is most likely because its parked on your account waiting to be activated. If you still have it, try giving customer care a call and having them activate it. SIM cards do change and can affect your overall service.
