[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
When I shut down my phone, the screen will go black and it will vibrate like normal. Last I checked the vibrate was to confirm that it was completely shut off. Instead, the four touch sensitive buttons will light up and stay lit until I turn the phone back on or, of course, pull the battery. This is also keeping me from entering download mode. A few days ago the phone was shutting down correctly and I have been able to enter download mode, but now the problem is going on again. I'm on official 2.2 Froyo updated through kies mini. My phone is rooted, but this problem occurred before I rooted.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Sounds like a warranty replacement.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I've had it for over a year. I wonder why it's just now doing this.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jmurph3:
I think I have come to a conclusion on why it doesn't seem to shut down completely and would need someone with a captivate that has all fully functional buttons. I believe that since my power button sticks, when the phone vibrates to confirm a shutdown, the capacitive touch button lights will not shut off until the power button is released. So if someone wouldn't mind shutting their phone off while holding the power button and tell me if you can make the lights come on after the vibrate while holding power button? Thanks in advance.

I keep waiting and check the availability to update to 3.1. There always telling me no update right now.

I have already registered the Acer Registration. I have already done hard reset.

Please help!
[Acer Iconia A500] sanaell:
Actual version you got?

Country you are?

Did you root, modify or anything else your tablet?

please help .... we are not 8balls
[Acer Iconia A500] FloatingFatMan:
Try reading some of the threads? If you did, you'd know that Acer are rolling out the FOTA in serial number batches, so you'll just have to wait your turn.

Alternatively, over in the dev section, you can find links to various FOTA files for manual flashing, or you can find custom ROMs for your upgrading pleasure.
[Acer Iconia A500] zoubidou:
ok some info about dhcp.

you should put the lease time in the dhcp settings of your router to 0 (ie infinite lease time). how, don't know because don't have your router model, otherwise i would tell you.

then remove again the dhcp file as explained, connect to the router. possibly your problem is solved then, because the tablet is issuing a fast connect request and not a normal dhcp packet.

if you need more details let me know.
[Acer Iconia A500] xendrome:
^Think he has the wrong thread...
[Acer Iconia A500] entropy.of.avarice:
2 choices

1) Wait for your turn for OTA update.

2) Install the official 3.1 same as you would get OTA yourself - head to the dev section. Quite easy do to if you can read and follow directions.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] FadedLite:
SoCal Devs has just released a new app that lets you to easily install a custom splash screen on your phone whenever you want with no access to a computer necessary.

The splash screen installed by BootFlash Pro will stick across different ROMs, so that you can always retain the splash screen that you enjoy. You can change your splash screen as often as you want.

BootFlash Pro currently works on:

HTC Inspire 4G

HTC Desire HD

HTC Vision

HTC ThunderBolt

HTC G2

Edit: Added support for HTC Droid Incredible and HTC Evo 4G

and more to come!
[Android Apps and Games] idiotjohn:
Ever wanted an app which you can run which just takes you to your home screen?

Have you broken your home button, and now to get to your home screen, you have to press back continuously?

No longer will you desire such an app - It is here for you!

An app so simple that it doesn't need options.

Just run it and it takes you to your home screen.

----

Note: On the first run of the app, a blank screen may appear for a short time before it redirects. Do not worry this is normal behavior! Every run after that, it will redirect to your home screen.

Download

You can find this app on the Marketplace: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.idiotjohn.gohome
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
And how exactly do you launch the app when you can't get to your app drawer except from your home screen? Kind of stupid, if you ask me. You should make it so that it keeps a persistent notification that takes you home when selected, because the notification bar is everywhere, the app drawer button is not.
[Android Apps and Games] idiotjohn:
I use the app called switchpad to put it as a menu attached to one edge of my screen.

I am just a beginner developer so I will attempt to include the persistent notification feature in my next release.

John
[Android Apps and Games] LiquidSolstice:
It's a fantastic idea, but I'm not familiar with switchpad. It's a great start, but I think the most mainstream usage of it would be the persistent notification.

I didn't mean to come off as sharp, I know developing takes time and effort, so keep at it :)
[Android Apps and Games] idiotjohn:
Thanks :)

I'm currently working on the persistent notification, and have added it. Im just double checking everything works properly before release...

The release after this will have an option as to enable it or not haha.

John
[Android Apps and Games] ABQNM:
You can also use an app called LaunchKey that attaches to the long press of your search button. This may help for those with just a broken home button.

I am not familiar with the app from above, but WaveLauncher would work as well. It allows gestures from the area of the screen you define (similar to the swipe up on the Palm Pre). It also has a nifty feature that if you press and hold for a user defined time on the gesture area, it will launch its own app drawer from within any application.

Great job on this simple but useful app! Keep it up! I know a few people with broken buttons that may benefit from this.
[Android Apps and Games] airmaxx23:
I use an app called zMooth which replaces the Menu, Home and Back buttons with swipe gestures that you make at the bottom of the screen.

Here is a video of it running on my Droid X, the video is a little choppy but it gives you an idea of how it works.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=z0JaRmVOees
[Android Apps and Games] exadeci:
I prefer it this way because I use wavelauncher and I don't need another app running in background
[Android Apps and Games] sanghaviraj:
Launcher pro short cut can also do this

I too use swipe pad a must for big screen like sgs2,n I too felt the need for a way to trigger home,i googled but cudnt find any thing but just few days ago I tried to put launcher pro as short cut on the swipe pad n it did the trick ,wht am I now missing is a way to to show recent app ,as u normally get by holding ur home button any one knows the way to it,
[Android Apps and Games] khangster1406:
And how is this different from using Home Manager to create a shortcut to your home screen to use with SwipePad? Home Manager simply allows me to do all what your app can do and even more, like switching between launchers and shortcut on the notification bar :p

[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzBoy1:
Upgraded from SGS to SGS 2 over the weekend and love the new phone. The only thing I am having troubles with is the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot tethering. If I use USB tethering it works perfectly but if I use Portable Wi-Fi hotspot with my computer it is slow/clunky and often reverts to "limited connection" on the computer and then under the Portable Wi-Fi hotspot heading on the phone it comes up with Error (in blue).

Has anyone else experienced this? Any solutions or idea's?

For all of those who wish to post "Just use usb tethering" I will thank you in advance so you don't have to post!

My preference is to use Portable Wifi hotspot.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] guitarmafia:
There must be some data network problem with ur network carrier,,,mine is working just fine,,

but it happens when 3g strength is bad,,
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzBoy1:
Thanks for the reply but if this was the case then the internet on the phone and with the USB tethering would be the same and they are not, so I am pretty sure it is just related to the wireless tethering. Hope this helps explain why I think you are on the wrong track. Cheers.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nurra:
I've been meaning to post about myself too. Tethering sometime is very slow. But when I tried download using the phone, the speed its great. Must be software related problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzBoy1:
Yes I am not the only one there is a thread over at the Vodafone Community (AU) site that a couple of other people seem to be having the same problem and it appears Voda have acknowledged there is a problem.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbchoong:
This happens to me too. Using Villainrom 2.1. Same problem when I was using Litening 3.0.

USB tethering is ok, but WiFi keeps disconnecting. Didn't have this problem with my old Galaxy S.

Also, do anyone else notice that when USB tethering, charging doesn't work very well.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzBoy1:
Samsung and Voda have acknowledged that this is now a known issue and they are working on a fix however there is no ETA at the moment.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbchoong:
This problem seem to have gone away after I flashed to KG3. Will continue to monitor if it still happens.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OzBoy1:
Hey that sounds great. Could you let me know in a couple of days how it all goes.

Just one other thing, through testing found that the first time it connected it worked perfectly but reboot the phone (and in this case several laptops) and the problem started.

Thanks again for the feedback.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dbchoong:
Been using WiFi hotspot on KG3 past couple of days for many hours at a stretch (need to keep charger plugged in, of course). Running beautifully. No disconnects or hangs. Sometimes with 2 or 3 devices connected to it.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
I just flashed the updated Miui ROM onto my friends Incredible (I am improving it for him) and was wondering which kernel would work best with it. I have heard that Tiamat is one to consider, but I don't know if it works the best with Miui.

Thanks in advance!!!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
Tiamat is great, but I've been really happy with the included kernel. YMMV
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
Oh that's right, there is a kernel included with Miui. lol Forgot about that. Does it install automatically when you install Miui, or is there something separate you have to do? I am a Miui noob and just want to make sure I do everything right. And has it improved battery life? That's why I am asking about the kernels.

Guess I'll keep Tiamat on the back burner for now.

Thanks for the response.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PGleo86:
No problem! Yeah, it installs along with MIUI. Give it a few days, I think your friend will like it. I'm running it underclocked to 800MHz on the stock kernel and it's smooth as butter
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spence341:
I flashed chads incredikernal. One thing I don't like about the stock kernel is the charge speed. I am currently at 11 hours 19 minutes with 36% remaining on stock Inc battery. I don't mess with any settings, I let it do it's thing.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
Oh that's cool.

Yeah, I have been playing with it for a few hours and I like it (and I hate everything crapple). I may have to try it on my own phone soon. I am sure he'll love it.

lol Thanks again. :)

Well, if you charge overnight, then that really isn't that big an issue. But I will definitely put that on my list of kernels to try if my friend isn't satisfied with the Miui one.

Thanks! :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kthung:
I've tried Chad's incredikernel and it was awful. Been using Tiamat for the past couple days. I'm gonna be going back to the included stock kernel that came with MIUI tomorrow. I've gotten the best battery life out of that one. I think it'd be worth it to try out each kernel on your own phone for a couple days. Some kernels may work better on certain phones than others.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
Interesting. I will definitely try them at one point to see for myself, but it seems that the stock Miui kernel is the way to go. I've been playing with it for 2 days now, and I have seen a noticeable increase in the battery life. I am very pleased.

Thanks for the response. :)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rfarrah:
I always flash Chad's Incredikernal after the MIUI update, but this time I'm test driving the (MIUI) stock kernal to see how battery life really compares after a couple of days. You really can't go wrong either way. But, as posted above, YMMV. Good luck!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
Incredikernel #1 with IncrediControl app http://www.incredikernel.com/

I try Tiamat every release but always go back to Incredikernel, Incredikernel is so much smoother. Also better benchmark with all apps and no task kill. Pics for proof!!!!

SetCPU min128/998max @ smartass scaling
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
Also if you are playing with kernels and want to go back to MIUI stock it is the Official CM7.0 version1. Can be downloaded from kernel manager lite(free) in market. Invisiblek version4 is nice to, its based off CM7.1 version2 with smartass added.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
Remember when trying new kernels for best results.. Charge until green, then boot into recovery, then advanced and wipe battery stats, then power off and let charge until green and good to go. This gets the results without waiting 3 or 4 days of charging. Also you wont see the unplug and go from 100% to 83% in 15 minutes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
every phone is different. I have been trying to use incredikernel for months and my phone runs like complete garbage with it. I use tiamat and it blows incredikernel out of the water on my dinc. I have no explanation for this and am hoping one day my phone will accept incredikernel. :-(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rlacrossjr:
Hmm thats weird, reverse your statement and that's me. I tried to contact Tiamat support and they have no support, I emailed them 4 months ago and nothing. Chad only supports the incredible device so I have gotten response back from him in hours.

I have 4 Incredible's all running incredikernel fine. 2 are on MIUI and other 2 are on CM7.1. Three of them are on version 07062011 and I'm running his beta 2
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolymatev:
4 incredibles???? Wow. My phone reboots and freezes with tiamat. Chads kernel the best for me.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davwman:
Check that, Tried chads latest with miui and nothing but buttery smooth response! Maybe it was rom kernel combos that was borking my phone up. who knows.

Ya family plan. they were buy one get one free.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DeBaKai:
Wow, where did all these responses come from? :p

Thanks everyone fro the help! :D

The Miui kernel is working well. I have seen a noticeable increase in battery life, and I've only been using the regular battery, not the extended. I like. :)

I definitely want to try Tiamat at one point (as well as Incredikernel) but for now the Miui stock kernel is earning it's keep. ;)

I knew that, but thanks none the less. I have it ready to flash when the time comes. :D

Thanks for the advice. That's going into my self-written Rooter's Bible. :cool:
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k_nivesout:
Actually, to recalibrate, this is what I'd recommend.

Charge the phone to 100%

Turn it off. The LED will turn red again, wait for it to turn back to green.

Boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

Reboot, then unplug.

My SamSUCK Transform, says "this type of file is not supported." The file is...an .apk. You know what I can't support...a Samsung in my life. I'm pissed at Sprint, Google, and Samsuck. ONE. Can't roll out updates. TWO. They charge you for mistakes they did. THREE. For Google, not doing anything and rolling themselves in money...
[General Questions and Answers] mr.hary:
just complain will never fix your problem. search more to fix your problem. if you search long enough and no answer found. sell your phone and change the device, but before you buy new device, please see the spec and customer feedback. you are smart enough to join this forum, why you still get the wrong device for your need? strange huh?
[General Questions and Answers] AnnoyingBunny:
It's not Samsung's fault that you purchased a phone that doesn't meet your needs, nor is it Sprint's or Google's fault - it's yours.

Samsung makes a variety of devices for a variety of needs. They wouldn't be so popular - and creating so many smartphones - if they weren't a solid company (same goes for Sprint and Google - both solid companies).

Just to note: Complaining gets you absolutely no where, search around... because if you're having a problem it's more than likely that somebody else had the same problem (and resolved it).

I feel I should also point out that in your signature you are looking at buying another phone from Sprint (Quote: Next Phone: Motorola Photon 4G or EVO 3D or Nexus Prime). So, clearly, Sprint can't be too bad if you have decided to stick with them for another term.
[General Questions and Answers] androidrockz:
Sprint basically lied to me about the specs. They said 1GHz, Gingerbread, and an AMOLED screen, thats what I didn't get. For some reason samsungs always break in my house and or dont work right. The phone was shipped and the screen came cracked, I didn't have insurance yet because I hadn't cleared out the plan I was going to get. They want me to pay $350. I stayed with the cracked one because i'm not wasting my money on this phone. I should have gotten an EVO Shift.

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Suntarus:
I'm not sure if it will because I know for a fact that the USB AC adapter that ships with the iPad 2 does not work with the Samsung USB cable for charging (well, it kinda does, but its that slow trickle charge). I figure that the means that both companies use to get the extra juice flowing over the USB cable are different somehow.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Entropy512:
It is. You can get a charging adapter off of DealExtreme, or make one yourself (read the "make your own cables" thread in Accessories, and look at the Universal Charging schematic)

Materials are an empty Altoid can, 1/4" piece of wood and a couple of pencils. It works well and is surprisingly stable.
