[Vibrant General] Moped_Ryder:
Yea - you may have messed the boot loader.

I would suggest buying a Jig.

A thought:

If you loaded a different brand ROM the vibrant way of entering download mode will not work anymore - maybe look up how that phone enters download and try?

Another thought -

Ive had it where I wasn't in "download mode" but Odin saw the ROM COM port. I flashed anyway (desperate) and it worked. (Id try the Jig first)
[Vibrant General] xriderx66:
Find out how to go in download mode for att captivate..

Try those button methods because that's to only thing that'll work for you.

No jig can save you
[Vibrant General] nycbjr:
Hey guys sorry for the late reply! Not long after I posted it I found the youtube bideo of the "jig", best $3 I've spent at radio shack!

Here are some pics..
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoogWeed:
This phone has 1Gb RAM, right? Why does Task Manage show the RAM usage as 271MB/833MB when I have nothing running?

I understand that some of the RAM is used by the system, but surely that's what the 191Mb is being used for? (1024 - 833)

What's using the other 271Mb?

The system can't be using 464Mb RAM doing nothing... Am I missing something?
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mirot:
!

My SGS2 have always between 600-650mb ram free ! your score is not normal...

[Android Software Development] KingPin_DK:
Hi Guys.

I recently bought a HTC Desire S, and is pretty thrilled about it, meaning both the android OS, and the HTC Sense UI.

But - HTC Sense doesn't support ALAC (Apple Lossless Audio Codec), which sucks for me bigtime, as I think the Sense-music player is as good as it gets, pretty much. And, since much of my music is in that format.

I also use HTC Sync to put music on my device, which is pretty smooth because of the iTunes-playlist support.

I know there is a bunch of other players on the market (currently using poweramp), that could solve my problem, but I would prefer using the Sense-musicplayer, because of it's simplicity and smooth UI.

In other words, please don't just advise me to use another app, since I'm already aware they're available :)

My question is then;

Is there a way to get HTC Sense to support ALAC-playback??

Peter, Denmark

Edit : Please close this thread. Thanks :D
[Captivate General] studacris:
You want just an xda help irc, or a captivate help irc? I have a feeling a channel that general would be chaos, too many people at once to keep track. Just my opinion.

I'm in the mosaic irc a lot you can drop by there with questions, if I'm there I'll answer.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Expecting knowledgeable devs/users to sit around on irc waiting for newbies to drop by and ask questions that were already answered on here is quiet the feat you're proposing. The search button/faqs/q+a section is all you really need.
[Captivate General] supaphreek:
I guess, but if theyre on there computer... having an IRC application open shouldnt be too much trouble. Would the MOSAIC IRC help me with other probelms though? :S for example.. flashing back to stock etc.. and other ridiculous ideas.
[Captivate General] AJerman:
A lot of ROMs, kernels, etc already have their own IRC channels. Most are on Freenode. If you need help on a specific ROM or kernel, check and see if they already have something set up in their thread.
[Captivate General] supaphreek:
Eh, alright thanks :) I guess I should ask for this thread to be closed then :P
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] carazy1:
Hello, this is really annoying me. Somehow, my phone credit seems to go down the drain very fast, even though i did NOT SMS or call someone. I have Vodafone. I also paid for vodafone blox for a month, so I can use internet on my phone without limits, but it still seems to go down the drain very fast even though I didn't call or SMS anyone. So.. this is really annoying.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Richy99:
you would be best off contacting vodafone about this
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bates_1974:
When you say unlimited are you sure it truly is that and not just labelled as that? You'll be lucky to get 'unlimited' data with any network now and not be subject to a fair usage policy of 500mb.

Are you using it intensively?

If yes to one or both questions there lies your answer, you're most likely to be exceeding the FUP therefore being charged for additional mb.
[Xperia Play General] ammarcool12:
Hey guys I was wondering if there was any way to force the gameloft apps (like in CM7 ) which cannot be move to the se card since we have only about 350 mb of internal storage with these heavy games it hugely reduces it ...i have about 30 apps and 6 gameloft games and I have only 80 mb free after moving all other apps
[Xperia Play General] Rixter757:
There are at least 2 different ways.

1. Unrooted device: http://androidforums.com/sony-ericsson-xperia-play/318452-how-move-apps-sd-card-unrooted-device-noobs-guide.html

2. Rooted device: Titanium Backup, Pro version. You tap & hold on any app, gives u the option to move. Each Gameloft game on my device is now <1Mb.
[Xperia Play General] Mozza2k11:
It is also possible to move gameloft games to the sd with the free version. :)
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gadgetgaz:
When I'm using google navigation in the car and the screen is inevitably on full brightness I expect the battery to drain really quick. So I plug in the car charger expecting all to be fine - wrong! The battery still goes down - just not as quickly.

If I am on the road for about 6 hours the battery will go flat. My car charger is 800mA so it should be no problem.

Is it just mine?
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
My Epic was the same way under heavy load.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
Never had that problem with my Nexus One and would be surprised if the Nexus S exhibited that behavior. But my Nexus One dock came with a 1000mA charger.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
It's pulling more than the charger can keep up with. A beefy charger like ones for the ipad might help but unknown how much. Griffin makes some that can output over two amps. Look at best buy. Make sure you check the output ratings. Some might be more than others. You will have to use a usb data cable as the cord because the one I'm talking about has standard usb female on the other end of the adapter. Griffin power jolt.

This particular one has led that glows red when full charging and green when trickle. There's different models.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] styckx:
The Nexus S isn't even close to how bad the Epic was. A road trip with Google navigation on, and the screen low would eat at the battery. Heavy use in general would eat at the battery. All while the screen brightness was at like 15%. I felt like the phone was always in a constant state of charging, except overnight when I slept.

Nexus S isnt even close to that bad. I wouldn't even define it as bad at all. Just normal. I would just avoid maxing out the screen brightness. 25% is normally enough in 80% of your situations.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmas0n:
I use a 1.2A charger in the car and also have this problem. Only with Navigation + max brightness. If I drop the brightness (at night) I can stay ahead of the drain.

This was also an issue with my Vibrant so I was not surprised to see it on the NS as well.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] herbthehammer:
I read in one of the posts about an app called battery monitor widget. It has been a helpful tool to monitor the charge discharge rates. I highly recommend it. You know when the phone is truly idling and when something is pulling down on the battery even when you're just sitting at the home screen doing nothing.

I haven't found a useful essential app for a long time until I stumbled across this.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmoney579:
I've had the same problem on the stock charger O.O! You would think that the one that came with the phone would be able to handle it running as a wifi hotspot but it doesn't. My old phone, an HTC Desire, never had a problem keeping up.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jgalan14:
Yeah Samsung phones takes too long to charged I though my evo was bad cause I came from an ip

hone, which charges in an hour (80%) and now battery kills me in this phones :(
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wiley_11:
Sounds like the crappy 3G/4G/wifi is the culprit. I believe when they fix the signal issues battery drain will be reduced. :cool:

P.S. Come on Google... WTF! :mad:
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deputybubba:
I noticed the USB connection will not keep up, but the AC connection will. I know that doesn't help in the car, just an observation.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uansari1:
A lot of car chargers output like ac chargers..like what came with my car dock.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Si_NZ:
Guys, make sure it's charging in AC mode so charging can keep up with the discharge rate. You can see whether it's in USB charging mode or AC in About phone > Status. If your phone is in USB charging mode while plugged into the car charger, it means the D+/D- pins of the charger cable is not shorted.

You have several choices:

1) Open up the charger and find the USB wire solder point, short D+/D- (usually the middle two of the four pins) with a soldering iron.

2) Skin the USB cable/wire, cut the D+/D- wire (hopefully you know which two), and short the openings.

3) Buy a male and a female USB connector, solder the two together, but short D+/D- on each side.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmersbc:
I wonder if anyone has experienced login problems with Skype app with Ginger Villain 2.4 (the very latest)? Seems as if every other app installed has no problems, just can't login with Skype. Tried both with wifi and on 3G. Neither will allow login.

Thanks for any tips you may have.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrUsta:
The latest Gingervillain here at XDA is at v2.3. I was using that ROM last week and had no problem with Skype.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timmersbc:
GV 2.4 is out - it's posted in the GV thread now. It's been out for a couple days though. Skype worked for me when I was using GV 2.3 as well - just can't get past the log-in credentials now. Continually says wrong password. Not a big deal, as I don't use it that much on the phone - just wondering if others had the same issue, and maybe a solution.
[EVO 4G General] brandon.pitts:
I just took a look at Sprint's website and they now have EVO's shipping with 2.3, does this mean that we will be able to use the kernel that was used for those models to help out with developing roms with 2.3? Sorry if this was in the wrong place or if this information was known and not helpful.
[EVO 4G General] drdrewdown:
provide a link & yes this is the wrong section.

http://shop.sprint.com/mysprint/sho...0138&flow=AAL&planSKUId=&ptn=&tabId=dt_phones

it does say...

"Operating system

Ships with Android 2.3"
[EVO 4G General] GadgetMonger:
So theres an official 2.3 version of android for the Evo,just not for those of us who have already purchased our Evo's? How does that work?
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
Agreed, I would love to know.....

This sounds odd. Maybe they updated the page too early? and this means GB Update soon?
[EVO 4G General] egzthunder1:
Moved to General. I could have moved this to Q&A, but I think it is of enough interest to have it as a General topic.
[EVO 4G General] brandon.pitts:
I thought I was going nuts but right in their page it says ships with 2.3 smh... I hope it means something good for us
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
Check this: http://reviews.cnet.com/8301-19736_7-20055834-251.html?tag=mncol;1n

Says by the end of June...According to CNET > It's an old post from April, but it seems to be accurate after seeing the "Ships with 2.3" on the Device page...
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
That wouldn't make sense to have the update by the end of June if I can order a white one from Sprint.com today and have it to my house with 2.3 in two days...
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
I agree with you...I think it's time we all mass-calling the sprint reps ;-)

Maybe someone can get some scoop. Ill try.
[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
i heard through the grapevine that we'll be getting 2.3 with sense 2.1...buuuut i take it all with a grain of salt, and i even work for sprint ( not on the wireless side though)
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
Any dates?
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
If this is true then...

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G General] wxrman:
Not shipping as of yesterday

I picked up a new EVO yesterday from the Local Best Buy here in Austin, Texas... 2.2

anxious to see it come about, though.
[EVO 4G General] GadgetMonger:
Dang... you got hosed, I think I'd be taking that one back and making them give me an updated one. :D The gal I just talked to from Sprint had no clue that the page were all looking at had been updated so.... She did get in touch with tech support for me, but they werent aware of any ota either. She suggested contacting HTC.
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
i have been in contact with HTC about the Gingerbread update and a new version of Sense.... here is what i have gotten so far from the HTC rep......

here was his first reply "I understand that you need to know when the update to the EVO 4G will be available. At this time, a release date has not been announced yet for any of our updates to 2.3. We also don't have any information as to whether the EVO 4G will receive an updated version of Sense, either. For the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc."

then he sent this "I apologize, I realized that in my previous email my wording didn't confirm that the Evo will be receiving an update to Android 2.3. This follow up is just to confirm that it is a when, not an if; it has been confirmed that the device will be receiving an update."

then i pushed him a little harder for more info and he replied with this "Thank you for your response. As stated in my first email, we don't at this point in time have a release timeframe for Android 2.3 for the EVO (or any of our devices). We want to get the updates out as soon as possible, but will not do so until we have thoroughly tested them and they are approved as ready by both ourselves and Sprint. In regards to an update to the Sense UI, this is completely independent of the ROM version. There's been no word on if the EVO will receive an updated version of Sense or even if Sprint has shown an interest in having it put on the phone. Thus for the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc."

then he sent this (kind of randomly i dont know why, and ENDED the conversation) "Thank you again for your reply. I'm concerned that only the notification that you have a response is getting to you but not the message itself. In your last two emails you have inquired as to when the Evo will be updated to 2.3 and if it is going to receive an update to the Sense UI. However, I did supply the only available response to that inquiry (thus my concern that the messages are not making it to your inbox for whatever reason). We don't at this point in time have a release timeframe for Android 2.3 for the EVO (or any of our devices). We want to get the updates out as soon as possible, but will not do so until we have thoroughly tested them and they are approved as ready by both ourselves and Sprint. In regards to an update to the Sense UI, this is completely independent of the ROM version. There's been no word on if the EVO will receive an updated version of Sense or even if Sprint has shown an interest in having it put on the phone. Thus for the latest news, please keep an eye on www.htc.com/us and www.twitter.com/htc."

what do you guys think???
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
It would be refreshing to have a new version on Sense on our EVOs.
[EVO 4G General] JGW310:
yes, it would. for being a flagship device, it is the only one still stuck on Sense 1.0 :(

sense 2.? would be SUCH AN IMPROVEMENT AND MUCH NEEDED!!!!!!
[EVO 4G General] SteveGrandRapids:
Funny . . you visit the HTC site and look at tech specs for Evo and it says Android Gingerbread for OS. . .

EDIT: Sorry, looked at Sensation specs thinking it was Evo . .
[EVO 4G General] spencer88:
Yeah that was the first place I checked after seeing it shipping with 2.3 on Sprint's website. You'd think they would communicate, at least a little ;)
[EVO 4G General] flight01:
wow this is weird. Sprint has updated info to soon b4, but to have both sprint and htc update info to soon is to much of a coincidence. So i'm thinking the ota should be hitting in the next couple of days

EDIT: ok looked all over the HTC site and see nothing saying android 2.3/gingerbread. So where are u guys seeing 2.3 on htc.com?

I did however see that at htc.com it says the EVO has OS 2.1 and at shopamerica.htc.com it says 2.2
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
Where
[EVO 4G General] CheesyNutz:
Hopefully this means the ota will drop soon

from my phone duh
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
SAYS 2.1 htc.com/us/products/evo-sprint?view=1-0&sort=0#tech-specs
[EVO 4G General] brandon.pitts:
I don't understand the need for secrecy smh if they are gonna update the OS anyway then just tell us when at least!!! Instead they taunt us with updated information about the product we own and keep us out the loop. It's in black and white on their own websites!!!
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Lol looks nice waiting on the OTA.
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
Well atleast we know for sure, or atleast I know for sure we will be getting. Most of y'all probably already knew, lol. I'm kind of behind.

Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
So I guess its time to start calling sprint and HTC to make em cough up some sense and get sprint to get there **** right lol.
[EVO 4G General] wxrman:
fyi

I traded in my Epic... which I was about fed up with.

I was one of the "lucky" ones that had the OTA Froyo update that was flawed and I had to take it to a Sprint repair shop and they flashed it back... I could have done it myself but wanted them to see the issues as well.

Sense is getting a little dated looking...

I would like just a raw Gingerbread and life would be fine.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Nice what was so wrong with the epic I see them on eBay all the time with problems. Think the evo is still the best phone they have.

Better then the one they just came out with. Don't really care for the evo 3d. Less battery life among other things.
[EVO 4G General] SteveGrandRapids:
My bad . . . must have looked at HTC Sensation for TMobile . . . Evo at HTC still shows 2.1 . . . ?
[EVO 4G General] rockypr:
That is the EVO View... not the evo 4g
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Nice one man. It is true tho evo will get a OTA soon .
[EVO 4G General] slipshft:
Umm... that is for the EVO View, a tablet.

EDIT: Never mind, I was behind in the posts...
[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
no dates that i know of. just heard it...like all other bs rumors...take it with a grain of salt.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Evo 4g will get a update since it's sprints flagship phone. So don't shart yourself :o
[EVO 4G General] ckoadiyn:
I hope we get.it by the time the 3d comes out at least
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Sooner the better lol.
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
How do you know the EVO 3d has lass battery life if it didn't even come out yet. Love how these rumors start.

As far as Gingerbread update, since they are not updating Sense with it, not sure why this would cause any excitement. Gingerbread is not much different then Froyo.......
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
I doubt it. Probably after the 3D release.
[EVO 4G General] whatsleft4her:
A post from a person ob androidcentral a guy called sprint cs and they said the update started rolling out today and will be on all devices within a week
[EVO 4G General] jayharper08:
I really hope that's true. But I'm not going to hold my breathe.

Sent from "The EVO" using XDA Premium
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Well the downside of the evo was battery life using sense. So now there making a bigger processor for the phone and twin cams and 3d option so it all points to more power hungry unit. Doesn't take a rocket scientist to see that lol.

More then happy with my evo . Plus id wait awhile for them to fix the bugs in the evo 3d. Launch day ones will probably be plagued with bugs like the evo had screen issues and such.
[EVO 4G General] dean_fx:
I hope that is the case. I would like a little more support behind that random comment on AC's post lol. that guy may be talking out of his coolo ;-) I really hope hes right though.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Lol if the dude is wrong they should flame the almighty Hell outta him Lmao :D like you said not holding my breath on that one.
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
what. psssssh.

that sounds like a "my girlfriends mothers brothers friends says..."

if this was even slightly true, it would be all over AnCent, AnCom, Phand, Engadg, etc.

hm. ShutMyMounth. That dog'll hunt.

http://www.androidcentral.com/sprint-now-touting-evo-4g-android-23
[EVO 4G General] eman3316@optonline.net:
Guess your a rocket scientist so I will take what you say as fact even though the EVO 3d will come with a larger battery, better power management with there dual core, and they list the battery times on their site which show to be better then the EVO. But I will just take your word for it.
[EVO 4G General] n8te_1:
i'm sure they'll push 2.3 with sense 2.1...its just a matter of when.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
If there rom is close to CM7 it would have some sweet ass battery life. Bigger processor's and more bling and eye candy always comes at a price of battery life tho. Hopefully it gets better and no more white spots on the screens .
[EVO 4G General] jreuschl:
What would be process be if we are unrevoked forever for a 2.3 update? Is it safe to update or would that cause a problem?
[EVO 4G General] kingdazy:
at best, you would lose your root, at worst? who knows.

but we all are just waiting for it to drop so a fine dev can get ahold of it, root it, add A2SD, etc.
[EVO 4G General] mlin:
If that was true it seems the leak would have been sense 2.1

Tapa tapa tapa
[EVO 4G General] rugedraw:
I see what you're getting at, but your logic is flawed. Based on my understanding, the better processor in the 3D means that it won't have to work as hard to gets things done because the processor is more capable and therefore requires less effort to make things happen.

Then again, I'm no rocket surgeon, so don't quote me on this. lol
[EVO 4G General] sandpa:
Bigger processor = worse battery life is not always true. It probably will be the case if the processor uses the same generation process technology. Process technology shrink/improvements and power saving features added to the processor ( with an OS taking advantage of them) usually results in better performance per watt.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
Lol I see what you mean but I'm pretty sure it will have its own flaws just like the evo.
[EVO 4G General] GrimReaper24:
It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure it out. Never said that was me just making a note bigger isn't always better along with eye candy. So no sir my logic isn't flawed there . :D didn't cha know :rolleyes:
