[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] baywatch:
I am running a stock 2.1-update1 TMO Vibrant.

I have previously run Obsidian and also some team whisky axura flavor, before going back to stock 2.2.

I had stock 2.2 until I tried to flash the newest overstock kernal last night and bricked my phone.

I had a stock 2.1 recovery laying around, so long story short I am now at 2.1 stock.

I would really like to flash the latest overstock along with a good ROM but am not sure if I should be doing it from 2.1 or if I should kies up to 2.2 and then start.

Also, this whole red CWMR thing has me thoroughly confused. Where is this mysticl red lockworkmod and how do I flash it?

I was thinking Bionix-X for my new rom, but would appreciatte some feedback or other suggestions from the community on what roms are 'best'.

Thanks for any assistance, I appreciatte all info.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Apocalypse:
Hi, ok...lets clear some stuff first:

1. The red CWM Recovery means its a VooDoo injected kernel....almost all custom ROMs and kernels have VooDoo in it so it will be red.

2. The easiest way is to upgrade to a 2.2 ROM and get the Overstock kernel is to go back to stock 2.1 (which i see you've done already) re-root....DL ROM Manager and flash CWM recovery (which will be green at first), then DL the 2.2 ROM you want, like Bionix-V 1.3.1 ;) and put it on your sd card and flash it.....like i said almost all custom ROMs come with a red VooDoo CWM recovery....so after you flash it....it'll be red....then you can continue to flash Overstock..

Thought I'd make a separate thread for o2 as finding information seems to take forever as posts are scattered about.

Pay as you go orders - From what I've heard so far everyone is still stuck on "in progress" (as am I) and delivery for pay as you go units arriving at the o2 warehouse are expected on tuesday (this information is from someone phoning up). There is no confirmation whether these will be locked/unlocked and whether they will be branded. Some people have phoned up and been told they will be but can't be sure until someone receives the phone as everyone's saying different things.

Pay Monthly Orders - I think most of these have gone through and some people are expecting to get their phone tomorrow? No no one knows for sure whether these will be locked/unlocked and whether they will be branded.

In Store - So far no store has sold these from what I've read and are expecting delivery either tuesday, some wednesday and some even later during the week.

Will update this post to reflect once users have received their phones whether they are branded and locked to o2.

I get this reply from them:

Hi Jon

Thanks for emailing us.

All our Pay & Go phones are locked to our network.

To get the Samsung Galaxy S II unlocked, you'll need to use it for 12

months on our network.

Once its unlocked you can use any other service providers sim and other

apps other than O2 apps in it.

Did you know about our O2 Money card services ? You just have to load

money on to this card and use it when required. To find out more about

this, click here:

If there's anything else I can help you with just let me know.

I ordered Friday morning over the phone from o2, my order is awaiting collection by DHL so im expecting the phone Wednesday :D
[Galaxy S II General] n-j-f:
Good idea for a separate thread.

My PAYG order from Thursday evening is also still In Progress but my pay monthly order from Saturday morning was confirmed Sunday morning but is still awaiting collection so I don't expect it now until Wednesday.

I would also be interested to hear how long it has taken Quidco to track orders. My PAYG order was tracked in 36 hours but the pay monthly has still not been tracked after 54 hours. Hope I didn't muck it up as the pay monthly will be more expensive than the PAYG if I don't get the cashback. I won't be using the SIM.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
Waiting for tomorrow to see if the o2 phones are locked or not.

Iv been told by o2 many times that all their phones are locked to o2 and have o2 software on them..

If thats not the case i will cancel my order @ carphone warehouse and buy one from there.

My O2 online contract order was placed yesterday (Sunday) and is now showing complete with tracking information. I'm expecting it to arrive on Wednesday since DHL haven't got it yet.

I don't really care it's locked or unlocked, since I'm on giffgaff anyway, and you can use an giffgaff SIM in an O2 locked phone.

More of my concern is whether these will be branded? That would seriously put me off buying it :( Does anyone have any info about this?
[Galaxy S II General] SpuddyUK:
Ordered Saturday night, still processing at the moment. Heard various days for stock, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday - but nothing so far.

Hopefully with tomorrow going back to normal in the UK something will actually happen.

Not concerned about lock/unlock as I'll be moving to GiffGaff and I doubt there'll be any branding as I've not seen branding on O2 phones in along time. If for some strange reason it is, it'll be going back!

Hopefully tomorrow brings better news and progress.
[Galaxy S II General] RedBlueGreen:
I was told by o2 staff they have no branding on the case but have o2 software on them.

That shouldn't be too much of problem, I'll use adb to remove the O2 apps.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ksporry:
By lack of another location, can someone tell me how I can get into the recovery mode for the XT701?

I tried pressing the media button and powering up (with media button pressed). This gives me the exclamation mark-in-triangle display, after that I tried Volume-up plus media button, and volume-up plus camera button, but neither seemed to bring up a recovery menu.

I also tried startup with camera button and volume-up pressed, which gives a boot loader meny, which only tells me I have to connect to a USB cable. (and if I do, nothing else happens...).

So basically those methods don't work (despite what people say on the internet).

Can someone tell me what is the right methode to start up recovery mode on the XT701? It is a necessity to use because without it no one can flash, so please let me know asap.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ctomgee:
From what I remember when I was using this phone, powering the phone on while holding the media button will get you to the /!\ symbol. Once there, then holding the volume up button and pressing the camera button SHOULD get you into the recovery menu.

If that's not working... then I got nothin. That's what I did to get into recovery. I just tested it on my old XT701.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinerDraft:
My HTC Aria was stolen last night, so I'm in the market for a new phone. I was pretty happy with the Aria, but I'm checking out some other options to see if I want to stick with it or not. The Captivate is on my list to check out..

1) Is the Captivate currently rootable with the latest stock ROM?

2) The Captivate comes with Swype, correct?

3) What are the big issues/annoyances with the Captivate (if any)?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
1. Yes

2. You can install swype on it (duno if it comes with it)

3. Only annoying thing is no front camera

Now, as for the cappy, the really interesting thing is that there is alot of custom ROMs (both 2.2 and 2.3 based) which improves both your phone's perfomance and experience :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
1. Yes.

2. Yes.

3. some older builds can have a random shut down issue, and some have a gps that isn't very accurate, both issues are known and will get you a replacement from att if you have them.

If you like the underpowered aria the captivate will feel like a muscle car after driving a camry.

Also a quick read through of the stickies, and then maybe a search, probably would've answered these questions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinerDraft:
I looked at a few of the stickies, but the big question (whether it can still be rooted or if the 2.2 update from AT&T has blocked rooting) isn't really evident in them. Kinda hard to find a post that makes this clear..

Anyway, I was comparing between the Inspire, Captivate, and Atrix. I went to an AT&T store during lunch and ruled out the Inspire because it's too big.

I'm leaning towards the Captivate. The Atrix has more pizzaz, but as I see it, it would cost about $200 above what I can sell my replacement Aria for. My contract expires next summer, and I might be changing carriers then, so I'd only get a year's use out of the Atrix before I'll be upgrading to something else anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Yes, the captivate can be very easely rooted using superoneclick for both 2.1 and 2.2.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
And I believe the atrix has locked bootloaders, making it a ***** and a half to even root...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinerDraft:
Ok, well I was leaning towards the Captivate, but the GPS issues have me spooked.

I went through the "GPS performance" sticky, and GPS related posts on the first 15 pages, and I couldn't find any clear solution (software, or certain builds) for the GPS issue. The only "fix" seems to be warranty replacement, which won't be available to me since I'll have to buy second hand.

Did I miss something?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
There is a few gps fixes floating around the dev section.

I never use gps so I couldn't tell you how effective they are personally but from what i hear they work well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gio22:
GPS on stock is really not good. It has to do with the case design being as thin as it is.

However, the phone is amazing how easy it is to root and to install custom ROMs. As stated above, there are a couple of GPS fixes that can help and a lot of the ROMs have them added. One is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=957164 and the other is at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=959671.

Using these have really helped with GPS for me and I have had great success keeping a lock and being accurate.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ShinerDraft:
In the threads I've read, the success of various ROM's, software fixes and phone builds is totally inconsistent. I haven't found anything where more than one or two people say "yes, this worked for me...".. I would think that if there was a fix that worked consistently, it would be in one of the stickies, no? Again, did I miss something in one of those threads?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] welchertc:
I agree with the others. The GPS isn't much of an issue really. If it's bad, use the fixes. If not, you're good. Other than that, the phone is great. The dev support for the cappy is great, you won't be disappointed.

I would suggest to maybe wait for the Infuse 4G, with it's super amoled plus goodness and faster processor, but if the inspire is too big, then the 4.5 inch screen on the infuse is even bigger. However, with how thin these new phones are, I think you would be surprised to find that you don't really notice the extra size, as my captivate is less noticable in my pocket than my iphone 3g was, because even though the size is bigger, the thin captivate doesn't bulge out in my pocket nearly as much. Also, pretty much any phone is going to seem big compared to your aria, but extra screen real estate is definitely a huge plus.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tarima:
The GPS will never be perfect, but the phone is amazing as long as you get into flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PatrickHuey15:
By the time your contract is up, there actually might be even something better on the horizon. From my guess, with the samsung galaxy s 2 coming there, there are going to be updated samsung galaxy s phones on all carriers. The captivate 2, the epic 2, etc. So just be on the look out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RDI:
The other nice feature the Captivate has is 16GB of internal memory before you add a microSD card. The other Galaxy S phones like Verizon's and Sprint's don't have that internal memory.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MurphyZombie:
I'm running the Mosaic ROM, it's based on Gingerbread 2.3.3 and my phone basically works perfect. The GPS locks 10-20 seconds, it's more accurate then it's ever been. I had Google Navigation running for 2 hours the other day and it was spot on the entire trip. It showed me right on the road, not off in a field, when I'd pass a road it'd show it on the GPS. I was pretty amazed. No random shutdowns, no weird home buttons freaking out, no other weird ****.

I was wanting to see about having my dad get a Galaxy S II and then swap them. But after how awesome my captivate is running I don't really want to let it go now.

I have recently purchased the GT-P1000 in Kuwait. It's unlocked but I don't have admin rights to it. Initially, there was no Android Market but I found the fix for that in another post.

My current dilemma now is I can't seem to get apps to install. The downloads will pause themselves and never install the application. I've had this happen to Angry Birds and Robo Defense.

As of now, I have no desire to flash this device. AFAIK, it's 3g voice/data straight out of the box and I don't want to risk losing those features.

Now, the question is, what's the bare minimum I need to do so I can install apps from Android Market and remove unwanted apps?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 3303094:
So I feel like an idiot now. For some reason, I can now get the apps to download and install: Angry Birds, Robo Defense, ES File Explorer, and Dropbox have installed successfully.

I still would like to remove some apps and install some that will need root access. Can someone confirm that if I root the phone that it won't affect the 3G data/voice capabilities?
[Galaxy Tab Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DarkPal:
ROOTING only gives you su (superuser admin) rights to your phone. It doesnt affect your phone or device functions (unless you mess around somewhere). Rooting gives you ability to access files or functions that vendor has it locked out from you. Sort of like jailbreaking the iphone.

Flashing roms is another thing. Some roms have no support to some functions But since you already own an unbranded non carrier GSM and Not CDMA tab. You shouldnt really worry.

Garmin typically specifies the accuracy of their GPS devices to be within 15 meters. You will NEVER fall below 10 feet of error without a WAAS enabled GPS (WAAS is only available in North America).

15 - 20 foot accuracy with a consumer GPS device is considered excellent from a technical capability standpoint.

Anyone expecting better than that is ignorant of the capability of the GPS system as a whole.
