I did get it from you. Transaction ID: 7PB124010J0442008

I just checked my tracking from AT&T and the replacement phone should be here TODAY! that wast fast. I'll try my jig on the replacement phone and see if it works. I wonder what I should do if my jig as bad and i can fix my original phone once i get your jig.... I guess i'll flash the original back to stock and call at&t and be like "so i turned it on once more before shipping it back.. and ... WOW .. it works.. but i should probably just ship it back anyway, i don't want a phone that might 'decide to die' for a few days at a time"
[Captivate General] studacris:
It didn't "decide to die for a few days" you were PROGRAMMING it and something went bad. Don't blame it on the phone, **** happens. That's why connexion2005 sells the jigs, not because phones randomly decide to not work, but because when you are formatting an operating system sometimes **** doesn't go as planned. It could happen to ANY phone :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Yeah, i agree. I'm sure at&t wouldn't not take kindly though if i said "oh yeah, i was flashing the bootloaders and messed up, but i fixed it.. now i have 2 phones, please don't charge me $450"
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
You're the one abusing the :rolleyes: now ;)

I did that with Rogers.. Still have my bricked phone lol
[Captivate General] studacris:
1.Rogers is nicer than at&t

2.I'm not abusing it, he's convinced this simple soft brick is the end of his phone. Or it was caused by anything more than bad luck. it's an entirely sincere reaction on my part.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
oops nevermidn

bought back soon after...
[Captivate General] studacris:
Dude. That's all kinds of ****ed up. :mad:

EDIT: Lol replied before TRu's edit

Not so mad anymore. Still unfair, but not as much as I thought.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
sorry i googled it they bought back their shares soon after in 2004... longer ago than i remember.. damn im getting old
[Captivate General] BWolf56:
LOLOL

I think you made Studa mad :p

Rogers > AT&T :D
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
Oospe, i bricked it again.

Today I got my replacement captivate from AT&T. First thing i did after pulling it out was test my jig. First time, straight to download mode. Tested it 3 more times. Straight to download mode.

Tried my old phone again, straight to Phone ..!.. PC.

Ok, guess my old phone is bricked. On to flashing new phone.

Made sure to not use the same computer/cable as before.

I used my netbook this time, same computer/cable/odin as my first successful flash.

Odin one click to stock (shouldn't really need that, right.. already stock): Success.

Flash Bootloaders: ... FAIL!!!! SAME THING AS BEFORE.

Try my jig on new phone... FAIL: Phone ..!.. PC

I bricked another!

Have the boot-loader packages changed recently? something must be funky. The instructions are not that hard to follow. I really don't know what I coudl be doing wrong. But now i have 2 bricked phones (one i have to send back to AT&T. How can i have a working captivate? JTAG? Where can i find JTAG service?
[Captivate General] rmntruexjr:
I've never had an issue with boot loaders, but I have never used that version of oden. Dunno if it makes a difference but I always use oden3 v1.3. 1.3 doesn't even have that boot loader field.

As far as the bricked phone goes, I did soft brick mine like that once due to plugging in the phone before loading oden. After my phone would only get to the phone/! sign, the jig I made out of old resistors I took off old circuit boards no longer worked. (tested to work before it bricked)

I had to go to radio shack and get the 3 100k resisters and even then tape wasn't enough to keep the resistance while holding the jig. I had to use heat shrink shields (or probably just more tape lol). Worked every time after that.

Oh, and after I reflashed, my crappy jig worked again...not sure if it's more picky when soft bricked or if it was just a fluke, haven't bricked it since so I haven't tested it lol.

The important thing is to remove the battery and any cards re-insert the battery DON'T touch ANY buttons then insert the jig.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
I'm not sure if i mentioned...

First flash: Odin 1.8.1 (WORKED)

Second Flash: Odin 1.3 - on another computer (BRICKED)

Third Flash: Odin 1.8.1 (BRICKED)

So i'm not really sure if it has anything to do with odin version.

I'll try insolating the jig even more. I tested it (while holding it) with a volt meter and got 301k but who knows. I'll try anything at this point.
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
I got my commercial jig yesterday. It didn't work. I guess i'm the first unlucky soul ever to 'hard brick' my phone wile still getting the phone ..!.. pc screen.

I'll be sending it off to mobiletechvideos for JTAG service, lets hope it works.
[Captivate General] shutupmom:
I've had the exact same error while using ODIN. My phone is now hard bricked. Can anyone outline any possible steps to recover from this outcome? Do I need to warranty my phone? Is that even an option?
[Captivate General] SirFunk:
by 'hard bricked' are you getting the phone ..!.. pc screen like me or black screen? I _think_ you can probably warranty service it. I doubt there's any way att will know what you did to it. I have one phone that i'm sending back to AT&T but i havn't sent it in yet so idk if they will know or not.

Also mobiletechvideos.com does jtag service for $50. I'm doing that with my other one.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Well, JTAG only restores the PBL and SBL... After proper restoration, if the phone boots up, they will know exactly what you did... Luckily most phones brick when using Odin3 one-click.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
Not true Adam... :). JTAG can restore only PBL and SBL if that's what I want. However, I made a full backup of an i897 while I had it hooked up to the machine which allows me to also write that backup to any other i897 NAND if needed. So instead of only writing the PBL and SBL blocks of the NAND I can literally overwrite every block of the entire NAND chip.

I've already tested backup and restore JTAG session on other models with full success.

Post your tablet, ROM, OS, and score so we can have an idea how other tablets and/or ROMS perform in comparison. I think for $280 the Viewsonic G Tablet is a hard deal to beat, if you have a contender? Hit me with some numbers.

New to this forum, so limited on posting from external sites.

Anyone have the Xoom, or another big tablet they can post scores. I'm interested in how the Archos tablets perform?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pppZero:
I've managed to build Froyo with the CM vendor tree for vision(ie: Desire Z/G2).

The build worked (ive used the same tree to build for a wildfire and desire as well with no issues) - pulled a couple of files (librpc.so and the libcamera libs) from the desire out/ directory.

I'm using dsixda's kitchen to cook then roms, when i push the rom to the phone and attempt to flash it, it fails with "assert failed: write_raw_image("/tmp/boot.img", "boot")" (Status 7)

i am able to flash CM6.1.1.1 and CM7.0.3 with no worries - if i use the boot.img from CM6.1.1 the rom will flash, but then goes a bit special once the rom boots.

I assumed the cm 6.1.1 rom would have the same boot.img as my built CM 6.1.1 vendor + android 2.2.1 - but i'm gravely mistaken

obviously my issue is building the boot.img from the source tree - can anyone give me some hints as to where i should look?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pppZero:
issue resolved - was a kitchen problem

changing the offending lines in updater-script to:

package_extract_file("boot.img", "/dev/block/mmcblk0p22");

seems to have fixed the issue.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy2slow:
Alright, I rooted my EVO using the unrEVOked 3.3 method. I also NAND unlocked it. But when I flash any rom/kernel/radio. I lose MMS. Now I can root the stock sprint setup and I can receive MMS, but ANY other rom I lose the ability to get incoming pics. I have tried 2.2 roms, 2.3.3 and 2.3.4 roms with the same result every time.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy2slow:
Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well I'm not sure which roms you're running, but in the latest CM7 nightlies, its a known bug with the MMS issue; you can send them, but they won't receive; its getting worked on.

I suppose a work around for now would be to stay on that stock rom you were on, or notify the people that are sending them, and have mms [pic, song, ect] sent to an email account, in which you can download it from.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy2slow:
Thanks, I have tried 15 different roms in the past 2 days. Even ones that say MMS works. I'm just gonna stick on stock for now until I know for sure I can get a good running rom with at least MMS working.

Thank you
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Hopefully it does get fixed, but no problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thunder2132:
You could always revert to stock Ruu and see if that fixes anything. Also, try wiping everything before you flash, including boot and system.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] originalmg:
You could try as someone above said, do a full wipe. In Amon RA do a full wipe: data: factory reset, data, cache, dalvik cache. Then use Caulkin's Format All (search for it you'll find it somewhere on here). Flash into a sense ROM, Kings UNleashed R5 is good. Then update profile and PRL & see if that works. I had a similar problem and did these steps and it worked again. Similarly, if you want to try an AOSP rom like CM7 or MIUI, do this in a sense rom before hand and then just wipe cache, dalvik cache, then flash new ROM and the profile and PRL will still be in tact.

Hope that helps.

I can't decide what to get. Get the EVO 3D and dump the old EVO or get the EVO View and keep the old EVO. What would you do?
[EVO 4G General] Crossrocker:
Evo 3d is obvious

A drop of Chuck Norris's semen was placed on Android OS. We now have CyanogenMod.
[EVO 4G General] Award Tour:
EVO View looks like a dead end tablet. 3D without a doubt.
[EVO 4G General] bkrodgers:
I don't even see the two as alternatives. Decide if you want a faster smartphone than the Evo. If you do, get the Evo 3D (or any of the other cool phones coming out). Then decide if you want a tablet. If so, get one. Maybe not the view though...

They're totally different devices for totally different purposes. Most people that own a motorcycle still own a car too. At least if you live up north like I do. :)
[EVO 4G General] ramiss:
If you want a tablet I would highly recommend a Rooted Nook Color. Then you would have saved several hundred for a Evo 3D...win win!

Sounds like the 3D will actually be able to do more than the view.

I have a 2800mah yoobao battery and its only lasting me about 18-20 hours...but a guy on youtube shows hes easily getting 2-3 days on his phone. I moderately use this phone with black backround...wifi enabled gps bluetooth and everything else i can disabled...and i have app killer and juice defender why is this battery not lasting long
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ecooce:
Well first those ebay 2800mah batterys are more like 2100-2500mah. Second that guy on youtube did some black screen tricks and some other things to get 3 days. I wouldnt use any app managment programs unless you have 10 things that want to startup,and juice defender just isnt a good way to save battery unless you always have a bad signal,when you have a great signal very little battery life is used by the radio.

But I just posted some great numbers using the seido 3300mah battery,and I actually used this phone plenty during the tests...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Like ecooce mentioned, those batteries aren't generally as good as they claim. But I can't answer your question until you answer a few more to the best of you ability:

1. Are you using a ROM? What ROM?

2. The "guy" on youtube was definitely using a ROM, what ROM was he using?

3. How long does your phone last on your stock Samsung 1500 mah battery, for reference?

4. How many and which widgets do you use?

5. Do you have poor signal and frequent roaming? Do you use Roam Control to rectify the constant signal searching?

6. Is your task killer an auto killer?

Answer me, and I'll answer you :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddizzy81:
well im not using a rom... i want to try to find the best rom for a extended battery. and i dont use any widgets just a clock one. i get about 10-12 hours on the regular battery if im lucky...im gettin about 18-20 on this one...i jus think i could get more
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddizzy81:
and yes i have roam control and i use task killer
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KennyG123:
OK, this is simple math...1500mAh battery is stock, you get 10-12 hours. 2800 mAh battery is only 87% higher which equals 18-20 hours. This is only true if it is a true 2800 mAh battery...so count your blessings.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RandomKing:
Well you can try the Syndicate Rom Frozen I'm on, it's referenced in my signature. Only use your task killer manually. On auto-kill it will use battery to constantly run, and will kill services which immediately restart anyway. I use Advanced Task Killer manually by its widget, which, combined with my Power Control widget, are the only two widgets I have confirmed are not battery drains. This includes Pandora, Music player, Wifi Tether , Tesla Flashlight, and ES Task Manager widgets.

Moving on, Low brightness when possible, Google Sync off, unnecessary apps found to be running in the background removed. Google Wifi and GPS locations off, you want none of that. DRM and SNS services frozen by Titanium Pro or MyBackup Pro if unneeded (yes those apps are not free, but worth it!). Mostly black wallpapers use less power due to the nature of Super AMOLED screens (the pixels are effectively off when black). Do not use Juice Defender. VisionKernel 1.1 may be helpful. Do not use setcpu, stick with the Dev's stock settings, I'm sure you'll be happy :-D.

If I think of any major steps I've taken that I'm forgetting I'll be back lol. I think I may end up making a new thread on this with a list of my steps and setup. :D
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tony45x220:
Well I'm that guy on youtube abd I believe I at that time I was on syadicateROM Froyo with a 1.3Mhz OC'd Kernal...now what saves on most of my battery life is underclocking while the screen is off to a max speed of only 600mhz...since about 75% of the time your screen is off...those numbers were for about the 1st 3 months with the battery....now I'm averaging from at least 30 hours to around 50 sometimes 60...but no more 3+ day stretches...and I make sure to condition my battery on a regular basis...because I did go through a major sump in performance jut like you are with around only 18 or so hours...a few (like 3) calibrations got me right back up to where I was at with hours unplugged....I think I talked about this in one of my video's...hope this helps fellas

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kiwi187:
When I switched to ec05, my battery life went to crap. I now have the yoobao 2800 and with syndicate frozen and a few tweaks I now get around 24 hours moderate to heavy usage. 48 hours or more with light/idle usage.

On the other hand I'm lucky to get 8 hours out of my stock battery with light usage. I can literally sit and watch the srf battery meter draining every minute the screen is on. I'm thinking my stock battery may have gone bad.

The extended battery makes my phone huge. But theres nothing better than being at a conference talking on the phone constantly and still having 30% left at the end of the evening. While all the other evo's n blackberries n such are crying that their phones are dying by happy hour...
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] socos25:
I'm not a heavy user, but I regularly get 30+ hours with 2.5 - 3 hours of screen on time off of a 1500MAH battery using SRF frozen.

You could have one of several issues:

1. Gallery app sensor issue.

2. Airplane toggle issue

3. phone not sleeping properly.

Any of them can severely impact battery life. If you look at your screen on time and you are regualrly at 2-3 hours screen on time in 12 hours then that is about right I would say.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tazfanatic:
I am a light to medium user and I get 40-55 hours of life out of my extended grant you my back ground is mostly black. Only widget I run is sense analog glass clock which pulls the weather every 15 minutes, I have task killer auto kill on, set cpu set to ondemand 10000 and 1000 which I believe is stock I was playing with it for a few still am (I just modified this to 13000 - 1000 set to performance so stay tuned for a update), Avg, wifi is usually on i forget to shut it off and gps is always on. I am using Frozen 1.1 with Vision kernal 1.1. Hope this helps. Don't forget to calibrate your battery I found that it does help to let it drain fully once after the calibration.

**********************************

Update well I have been testing since I first posted I am now getting about 18-24 hours but my usage has gone way up to high like 200 to 400 txt a day plus now using winamp cuz my music player died. Playing music for over 2 hours a day also poor signal strength at home so always have wifi on. Not sure what modem I am using not sure how to find that out either. Also my Setcpu is set to 1300 - 100 ondemand it didn't like having any other setting. I also turned journaling on which might not help the battery life.

Ok so i recently stimbled upon a game called dungeon defenders and its pretty graphics heavy. Problem is when you go into a multiplayer game it lags like crazy unless you turn the graphics to minimum in which case the game looks like ****.

Im running the bionix newgen rom not overclocked or.anything, but what could i do to help speed the game up without sacraficing graphics

Try the stock rom, or try not to put the graphics resolution to full. the game still looks good if it's halfway.

You need a phone with Tegra 2 processor to run smooth. Dungeon Defenders is optimized for Tegra 2. Unreal Engine is optimized for Tegra 2 also.

yup, but the tegra 2 phones that are out now isn't really that smooth with this game. Maybe the SGS2 can handle this game very well.
