easy fix will be to drill and expand the hole, because when you close the mmc/sim cover tab the hole get blocked so here what i did in the back side of the tab (in lower left on the mmc/sim slot) just look the pics below. make sure remove the back cover and have a wood block as your base so when you drill it will be much safer...

drill in reverse side of the back of the tab and close the the mmc/sim cover so it will go trough also and drill the side of the mmc/sim cover..

almost deaf

When I got my tablet it's almost deaf, so far the only thing that works is to use a headset with a microphone. The model I use is PSP go for the playstation portable. PSP - N1000 series. I got them at Zellers. The plug has four segments, same as some camcorders. Not common.

I have opened up the tablet and drilled a small hole in the front as my Mike was completely covered over, switched the two mikes inside, upgraded to ICS Flexreaper latest. This made a big improvement but I still have to talk loudly or hold the tablet close if I don't use the headset. Reading the forums I see people have different experiences with their tablets and the fixes. Probably a combination of hardware and software issues. Try different software if that does not work then hardware. Looks like I am in the hardware category as the tablet works as good as my IPod when I use a headset. I May try swapping out the internal mikes some time but no rush. Everything else works great. My Ipod is getting dusty :p
[Captivate General] brokebackbear:
I wanted to start a thread for those who just obtained a new captivate mostly for my own purposes. I am looking to obtain a list of action in the correct priority to improve the captivate experience. I know certain things need to be done in certain orders and it would be great if there was a running list with current links to resource those items.

For instance I am still running Stock 2.1 Update 1

I know I want to tether without contract additions. So much needs to happen before I can do so. I probably need to unlock the phone, update to the latest rev, remove the road blocks restricting unpaid tethering, etc.

Can anyone create a road map with links to accomplish this task... thank you from a long time member.
[Captivate General] crystalhand:
There are already guides out there if you search that will tell you how to do it. For 2.2 its as easy as rooting then deleting/freezing a .apk file
[Captivate General] japr2821:
:p lol are u serious? Theres a ton of stuff that guides u on how to unlock ur phone. U can just go to youtube and fallow the directions on http://www.youtube.com/user/MobileTechVideos
[Captivate General] brokebackbear:
I am serious... this is a serious site. OF course there are videos out there but the correct order has not been published. For instance any idiot can upgrade to 2.2 but sadly unless they have been told to unlock first they cannot go back to 2.1. That's the kind of stuff I was talking about. You don't have to be mean. I have been here since 2008 and never been asked if I was serious.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
unlock refers to it being locked to a carier. for permsions this is all linux/unix/terminal related and we use the terms root and super user. macs being a terminal type of interface also use these terms.

to be rooted means you have access to the root of the file system and to have superuser permissions. root of the file system is described by the character "/" this is similat to c:\ in windows but terminal doesn't have letter designations on drives.

to enable tethering the best way is to either update to 2.2 via kies, root and freeze an apk that will require you to have a tethering data plan. or the alternative is to install a rom for an i9000 or other phone such as the i9010 armani or the chinese i9088 or the t-mobile vibrant, though vibrant roms may cause battery drain, that has been my experience anyhow.
[Captivate General] tg9413:
If u really mean recent captivate from at&t. they probably come woth froo loaded already. unless u got some left over stock from earliser batch.
[Captivate General] The.Se7enth:
Wrong. Just got a Captivate from AT&T last month, because my old phone was pretty much unusable and I wanted something with more functionality. Still 2.1, and I attempted to upgrade to 2.2 following Samsung's instructions thoroughly and ended up with a bricked phone. Thankfully I was still in warranty since it was amazingly even less than 30 days that had passed, but still.

AT&T does not ship out the Captivate with 2.2, nor will they upgrade it for you. You get it 2.1, and have to upgrade it yourself. And if you happen to screw up somehow and actually hard brick your phone, to where it won't even turn on, they won't fix it. It's considered user error. Samsung will, but that's not the point here.
[Captivate General] Jemack:
Delete....wrong thread.

But since I'm here......see below.
[Captivate General] Jemack:
I have never unlocked my phone and have gone back to 2.1 literally a hundred times. Looks like some reading/learning is in order.

[Captivate General] nakedninja42:
Wrong... I just replaced my captivate a couple weeks ago and it came with 2.2. I have seen several people reporting for the last 2 months since froyo released that it was already on their phone. I remember one post stating they got their phone shipped 2 days after official release and it was already loaded

[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrooman:
Can I get some input on which will be a good Rom to install to achieve the following:

Sense and HTC widgets intact

VZW bloated removed

No commanded reboots** this is my biggest issue here

Otherwise I'm not picky about what the Rom does or looks looks like.

I've tried the perfect storm and a few others, but those reboots drive me crazy.

Thanks for any input or advice.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tflogic:
What do you mean by commanded reboots?

Regardless, Das BAMF is probably the most popular ROM on this forum and with good reason.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbisch:
I'd recommend Das BAMF 1.6 with the new radio.

I don't know what you mean by "commanded reboots" though? I have never had a random reboot with my TB.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dgrooman:
I meant uncommanded reboots, sorry the auto correct changed it and I didnt catch it.

I will give BAMF a try. Thanks for the input.
[Thunderbolt Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] desai827:

only the market not working for apps downloads

[Defy Android Development] Gribin:
You can try go to Settings-->Applications-->Manage applications-->select "Market"

Clear data and Unistall Updates.

After that, open the Market, It should install the update of the Market, select back button till out of the Market App.

Open the Market again, It should install the Apps what you want.

gribin

thats not working

i have the same problems with te market
[Defy Android Development] xdaid:
Testing the market heavily (xd1 1.2, which is based on 3.4.2-177) i got some fc, it happens quite rarely here but as far as i remember i had no such a issue with the previous xd1 based on 3.4.2-155.

So, it looks like the problem is related to the nordic sbf..
[Defy Android Development] Muznyu:
In the past few weeks I had problems with the Market as well, with different ROM types. Sometimes data wipe helps, sometimes just a reboot, it works quite randomly. I heard complains from other Android users, so I think it's more likely a general Android Market problem.
[Defy Android Development] swen703:
all what i doeing nothing helps to get de market working for the downloading the apps
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
Same problem here and in my case it's probably the ISP I have at home that started blocking market downloads for some reason. On other ISP's it works. Also when I use mobile internet the downloads work as they should. So maybe try switching ISP to find out it's the same in your case.
[Defy Android Development] swen703:
i have now downloads with the market now 3g tmobile and wifi network

have anybody tips to fix downloads from the market
[Defy Android Development] step0011:
heya, i've had same issue, i've read around, and the market issue is pretty common, it can be caused by how you sign in you're google account initially on firat boot... ie if you're account was initially created as "joebloggs@googlemail.com" and you sign in as "joebloggs@gmail.com" this can cause issues with market downloads... reflashing and signing in with googlemail extention may help resolve this :)
[Defy Android Development] marhensa:
i dont have that problem with 3.4.2-177

but i often have a double download, even triple.. :(

when my data connection is bad,

the download paused, but sudenly it downloads again in separate thread (but downloading the same file)

it just effing retard! make the whole download progress more slow..
[Defy Android Development] swen703:
i try al so with googlemail.com account end that work nothing
[Defy Android Development] AgentSmith:
I use gmail with my own domain (Google Apps For Your Domain) so that wouldn't work for people in my situation. And I also never had this problem until quite recently. Nothing has changed on my side so it must either be my ISP or Google. The fact that the Market works fine when I use mobile data with my carrier indicates it's my ISP at home. Then again, that also sometimes starts to work all of a sudden. It remains a mystery for now.

[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] zach.antre:
First of all i would like to say that i am not Dev, i am just suggesting to start porting (L)ittle (K)ernel in Topaz.

Myself I own an HD2 and a Diamond 2 HTC mobiles, i am looking often into this phone regarding the NAND development but i see it just takes too long.

I don't know how many of you are aware of LK or cLK for HD2 but know that it is an opensource bootloader which is used in various Android devices and actually makes it a native android device. You can use fastboot commands, ClockWorkMod Recovery, ROM Managet etc.

Source code can be found here: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/lk.git;a=tree

Currently LK supports Topaz cpu Qualcomm MSM7200A but need to be device specified, that means it needs to be ported.

cLK is LK ported to HD2 by cedesmith and source can be found here

cLK or MAGLDR?

This question has bees discussed numerous times in HD2 forums with many arguments and fights about it.

The basic Pros & Cons are as following:

MAGLDR

+ Boot Android from NAND

+ Boot Android from SD

+ Boot WP7 (in HD2, I don't know if Topaz is strong enough to run it)

+ supports both RMNET and PPP

- Doesn't feel like native android device

- Doesn't use fastboot commands

- Doesn't support ROM Manager

- Not OpenSource

- Can't flash CWM backup if you don't have CWM installed

cLK

+ makes phone Native Android Device

+ ROM Manager Support

+ Fastboot Commands

+ OpenSource

+ Doesn't have a menu like MAGLDR (you don't need it if you have ClockWorkMod)

+ You can flash CWM backup (not zip) without having CWM installed (by fastboot command)

- Supports only PPP (Not RMNET)

I have asked cedesmith if LK or cLK supports Topaz and here is his answer:

So... If any Dev is willing to start porting LK to Topaz, cedesmith is willing to help sharing his expirience porting LK to HD2.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] sp3dev:
http://htc-linux.org/wiki/index.php?title=LK_Bootloader

Me and [ACL] have already ported it to Kovsky and Rhodium. Adding Topaz support is easy, just a board file.

But!. For now, only CDMA devices work. GSM devices cannot boot with SD in (and probably without one as well), the ARM9 will crash if SIM card is inserted. The issue has not yet been tracked down, but some tests show it's not related to vregs. So it will probably need a thorough disassembly of wince and diagnostic sd card images
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] cukierkas:
looking forward and willing a lot of patience and success :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure Android Development] zach.antre:
That is very nice.

HD2 is a GSM device as well and we do not have any of problems you mention.

You can compare your tree with cedesmiths tree and find the solution faster.

As I wrote earlier cedesmith is willing to help anyone who is trying to make LK work on Topaz.

I am not a Dev so I am sorry I can't help in development but i am willing to help in any other way.

[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] OpusxXx:
Noob here. No longer a virgin after this post. Ok, I have been reading for weeks and have most of the basic understanding down on phone setup and flashing using ROM Manager/CWM but still having issues I can't find answers to so here goes.

Samsung Captivate running 2.2 flashed from ODIN one click. Backed up apps and data using TI backup. I have installed ROM Manager, picked the Dragon ROM to flash and here are my problems.

1. ROM Manager 4.2.0.2 - Pick Flash CWM Recovery- 2.5.1.2, pick captivate, "successfully downloaded CWM Recovery" (did not say "installed" CW Recovery). Where did it download to and how do I install? Its not in My Files. Some of the recovery options are missing when in Sys recovery <3e>and don't look like the options listed in posts.

A. Tried to backup current ROM with RManager - It gave me a stamped file name, said "backed up" within a few seconds but when I click "manage and restore backups" I just get a black screen. Can't find the backed up ROM nor the files listed on one of the posts??? I read it takes several minutes and the copied files scroll. This did not happen.

B. Install ROM from SD card - Everyone has said make sure the ROM is installed in the "root", but exactly which file are we talking about??. No one ever says which file exactly. I use Droid Explorer and there is a file named SD Card, then SD. Which file is the ROM to be installed in? No file called "root". I used SD file and renamed it update.zip. I click "install ROM from SD" then pick SD and the update.zip file, click all three options (B/U ROM, wipe data N cache, dalvik cache then ok. Phone reboots, click reinstall packages, ERROR: E:failed to verify whole file signature - E: signature verification failed, installation aborted. :(

2. I have read to reinstall 2.1 via ODIN before flashing new ROM's. Trying to flash "Dragon ROM RC7" "Full Flash" which is 2.2.1. Can I not just flash this over 2.2?

I know there is more. I was up till 2 last night and tried to get all issues posted here. Like I said, pretty new to the ROM thing but not a dummy and can follow instructions. Have read a ton but there is sooo much out there. If anyone can help me through this I would be very greatful. Hitting the frustration point real quick now.

Found this: ROM Mgr 4.2.0.2 "Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first." This could be one issue. Which kernal? Have not tried to flash any kernals yet. Still reading.

True, Google can be you're best friend but at the same time, I was able to find a detailed fix right on the forum. After another hour or so of searches.

i found that rom manager does not work for certain phones, period. i use odin and flash cwm 2.5.1 to my phone while in download mode. then i can use the 3 button combo to get into cwm,oh yeah and dont forget to back up your rom version once in cwm! i then wipe cache (user data) and delvic cache and batt stats. then i go into a folder i created on "root" (which i made on the sd card) i store my roms/kernels themes ect...in this folder i pick which rom to install "please do your homework" make sure u know which rom ect, is right for your phone, or u will have a nice shinny paperweight!!!

ok so, now your in your folder with the rom of choice, flash install from .zip let it install.......takes awhile just be patient. thats about all i can say. took me awhile but its well worth it, i have a way better understanding about everything now. hope it helps, i own the mesmerise and found rom manager is useless for this type of application so ditch it!
