[HTC Sensation] unleashed12:
Currently have a Galaxy s II but I've always been a fan of htc's build quality and their user experience that they offer through sense, seems like the most polished flavour of android :P

Main reason I'm attracted to this phone is because I'm a retina display addict from the iPhone 4, I web browse on my phone A LOT and i love being able to read sites without having to zoom in and stuff :P, so i was just going to ask you guys, how does the qHD compare to the retina side by side in terms of colour/contrast/quality etc. and most importantly what do you guys think about the phone overall? :D

Thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Hey guys... ok i have been looking and cant seem to find how to rectify this issue... i am really stuck and would appreciate any help possible..

Ok so i had stock 2.2 on my captivate, n tried to install a gingerbread rom using mobiletechvideos easy step guide using this link

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOyx5JQ_8_I

... in doing that the first step of installing the bootloaders through odin, i inserted the pda files but it freezes at setup connection... now i think its soft bricked as i can still put it in download mode.. the thing is i have tried one click odin to revert back to 2.1 or 2.2 but it stops at set pit file... and then do not turn off target... its been here for over 25 mins n nothing... i have kept trying a couple of times and sometimes it wud just say fail.. Guys again i am sorry if this in the wrong place or has been brought up before.. i tried looking and was not able to find anything..

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Well your first issue there he says flash to stock 2.1 jf6 you where on 2.2 Unless your phone is a newer build 2.1 is always better to flash then 2.2. What build is your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Reboot your computer, swap usb ports to one that is in the back attached to the motherboard (if already back there swap to a different one in the back) or port #1 on a laptop. Right click odin and run as administrator.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Thanks for the responses..

Yeah i know it said do it on 2.1, i figured it cud have worked on 2.2 i guess i was wrong... :( n in terms of switching port, odin still recognizes the port as i get the yellow screen but it doesn't move from there...???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
It doesn't matter what's on the phone 2.1, or 2.2. **** you can be in a custom rom (I made the jump from firefly). If you are using odin its the same, if it will write 2.1 over anything why wouldn't do it for 2.3.3? No Difference.. The only way 2.2 would matter is if you weren't using odin then you would have to get around 3e recovery. But download mode is underneath the firmware does not matter what is on it odin will overwrite it.

And odin can be super touchy with the usb ports. And although it sees it the flash fails if odin is on the rag and didn't take any midol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
again thanks for your help studacris... so basically if odin can read it but nothing happens i am screwed... i really need to know if there is absolutely anything else i can do to fix this as this is my only means of communication.. i am lost without my cappy... :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Are you sure you are using a Motherboard usb port and that you are running on Admin? If odin is being stupid you can look in to Heimdall
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
yeah i am sure i am using it on the motherboard port and running it on admin.. It basically freezes on differnt areas and doesnt completely reflash to stock on odin3 one-click downloader...

So there is nothing else i cud do with odin rite??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toy028:
Try a different version of odin. If that dont work then use Heimdall
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You can go to samfirmware.com-US SGS download wich ever version u want (id use JF6) download and decompress. Each .md5 file you need to decompress as well and get out the individual file in them. Here is a good how too with heimdall from mobiltechvideos. Hope this helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Thanks.. i was hoping odin wud have come through but i guess i will have to try heimdall...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Ok guys i have downloaded heimdall and right now trying to install the jf6 2.1 rom... the thing is i am on load package and tyring to put the firmware package... this might be a stupid question but i am inserting the zipped file but it keeps saying - Tar header contained an invalid file size... Do i need to extract the files and then do this..???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Wich Heimdall you using? I suggest 1.1.1 in wich you choose each file u want to flash individually.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
i had downlaoded 1.3.0 will try this thanks..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
ok so i have inserted factory fs, kernel,param,cache,database data,modem and clicked start, it took two seconds and then stated failed to retrieve config descriptor...??

also i haven't added anything in the pit or primary and secondary and recovery files
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
Im not sure about your error but the Jf6 from samfirmware has FactoryFS, Param.lfs, Cache, Database Data, Modem and Recovery(Zimage). Maybe you put a file in the wrong place?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Thanks but istn't the zimage supposed to be for the kernel... i haven't inserted anything into the recovery field...

i am rite now left clueless
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
No your right. Its the kernel I had a brain fart. Well I honestly Do not know whats wrong, Im assuming you ran Heimdall as Admin... Well **** man any way you have access to another machine? Im out of ideas maybe someone else can help. =/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:
Hey thanks i really appreciate the help ...

guys if anyone else can help me out it would be really appreciated... the phone is all i got and i really need it to work today... i am just restarting my computer and will try again hopefully it will work otherwise i am out of options...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rheanjd:

Now that we have root, can we get a Rosie that has landscape and a customizable dock?
[HTC EVO 3D] jgalan14:
You might get sense 2.0 since no sense 3.0 device has a keyboard as far as I know, plus sometimes there is glitches, I recommend you to get use to it or use another launcher like launcher pro
[HTC EVO 3D] Gumby63:
I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that there were no images created for a landscape view. So it would take a long time for someone to make every image needed for landscape from scratch. If you ask me, the likelihood of getting a landscape 3.0 is slim to none
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joseph050607:
Needs some good suggestions.....i finally sim unlock my infuse 5 mins ago.and my tmobile sim is working. But im gettin bad service in tmobile. Is their anymore fix i need or im missing something to make the infuse my daily phone.with tmobile service? Or no chance @all..... tnx
[Samsung Infuse 4G] jz3:
At&t uses different radio bands for 3g/4g. You will only be able to access the edge network.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joseph050607:
So what do u think using the infuse in tmobile? Is it better to just get the phone thats locked to its own carrier.or the sim unlock phone?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Carlrobling:
Your going to have really slow data. That's the only difference. It will still work just fine just take for ever to use the net and things like that since it will only be on edge. I'd just suggest sticking with a carrier specific phone if your worried about data speeds.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] joseph050607:
Wat phone from at&t will fully work for tmobile 3g/4g data...
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Entropy512:
Likely none - I have yet to see an AT&T phone that supported the AWS 3G band that T-Mobile uses.

Hi Guys,

I'm looking for beta testers for my new application - InTask Mobile.

It's a task and messages sharing between working group friends.

Android users from all over the world can create work groups and share tasks with each other - in real time!

I attached the first version and it's free for use.

Also attached a help file (word document) explaining how to use this app. an updated version can be downloaded from my website: intaskrnd.com

I'll be glad to get any bugs and/or new features you think worth adding to the application.

Thanks a lot!

Technologies used:

1. Java & ADK for developing the application

2. Sqlite - tasks storage

3. MySql - middlware for tasks messaging between group members

4. C# - web services distributing system

5. XMPP - push notifications for saving battery life (using asmack lib)

6. Fun, Fun, Fun

[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] tazzz811:
Some brief explanation for the contents of the script

1. /proc/sys/vm/laptop_mode

How many seconds after a read should a writeout of changed files start (this is based on the assumption that a read will cause an otherwise spun down disk to spin up again).

2. /proc/sys/vm/dirty_writeba​ck_centisecs

How often the kernel should check if there is "dirty" (changed) data to write out to disk (in centiseconds).

3./proc/sys/vm/dirty_expir​e_centisecs

How old "dirty" data should be before the kernel considers it old enough to be written to disk. It is in general a good idea to set this to the same value as dirty_writeback_centisecs above.

4./proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio​

The maximum amount of memory (in percent) to be used to store dirty data before the process that generates the data will be forced to write it out. Setting this to a high value should not be a problem as writeouts will also occur if the system is low on memory.

5./proc/sys/vm/dirty_backg​round_ratio

The lower amount of memory (in percent) where a writeout of dirty data to disk is allowed to stop. This should be quite a bit lower than the above dirty_ratio to allow the kernel to write out chunks of dirty data in one go.

can somebody please tell me how to make a script of this? I really want to know, but i'm new to this.

I can't find anything on the "search".

Cheers
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] PieceKeepr:
I think something does because I am getting complete homescreen redraws since I started using this a couple days ago. The phone seems to boot way faster and seems to run a little better but I think there is a conflict somewhere.

You don't have to make a script just copy it all to a text document on your desktop and after you save it delete the .txt at the end. Then put it on your SD card and use Root Explorer, or similar, to move it the proper location. I set the ownership and permissions the same as other files in the same location and rebooted. Just be sure to tap the "R/W" button at the top of the screen if you are using Root Explorer so you have read/write permission to work in the folder.
[Galaxy Ace S5830 Android Development] Sgace:
Hey,

thnx man. Found notepad++ and made a text file with that.

Tried the script for a couple of ours and for my personal feeling it made my phone slower at multiple points. Also Quadrant standard gave me a lower score (11-13) then when i'm using 00tweaks/v4 tt.

So this goes out the door.

Cheers

I'm on the Fasty 2.3 rom and I just cant seem to go more then 12 hours on battery life even on light useage. The only thing I keep on is my 3g service, which is all the time. I've also tried using battery calibrationaters (lol) and none of them seem to calibrate my captivate.. I think. What's a good app to monitor my battery and also an app to help me calibrate my battery in case I'm doing it wrong somehow? :confused:

I calibrate by charging to 100% and then rebooting my phone but my phone seems to drain at the same speed no matter what I do. I installed Fasty from stock also.

[Acer Iconia A500] scotbot:
I purchased a used Acer Iconia A500 on ebay. It was sold As Is and I payed next to nothing for it. It came with no A/C adapter and had no charge. SO when I acquired a AC adapter and powered it on, it is asking for a password. I am an android phone user and I always root and run custom roms. I know that I can restore the tablet to its original out of the box state. But I was wondering how to go about it on this tab. I cant get it to boot into recovery and this is my first tablet. Im used to pulling the battery and holding down the vol and power. Im starting to wonder if I wasted $100.

Any help on this matter would be great. Im just not sure what I need to do to wipe all data and restore. I dont think this tab is rooted and thus no Clockwork mod. and I do not have a SD card in the slot. Do I need to have a stock rom on the SD card. This tablet world is sooo new to me. thanks in advance.
[Acer Iconia A500] GuestD2100:
You need to put an SD card in then put a stock rom on it then boot into recovery : hold volume- and power button until you see text in upper left hand corner don't let go until you see that. The volume- is closer to the power button you have to decrypt the stock rom too

Sent from my A500

thank you! Is there a tutorial or at least some sort of guide to doing this. I have never had to decrypt a rom before.

Do,a,hard reset, it will delete everything and bring it back to factory reset by preesing vol + hold it then press power button until the acer logo comes up then release the power and toggle the screen rotate switch......search the instruction in you tube, search for acer a500 hard reset...

I got mine bricked for switching roms,so many times and this method save me althogh

Resetting the tablet with a paper clip doesn't work?
[Acer Iconia A500] cd85233:
That's a soft reset. Won't do anything.
[Acer Iconia A500] lightflier:
If with stock rom try this..... Plug any external USB keyboard into the tablet USB. 1.Turn the tablet off. 2.Pull out the Micro SD. 3. Push and hold the power button and -volume button together. 4.When the screen lights up release the power button and push and hold the HOME button on the keyboard while still holding the volume- till you see the recovery mode. 5. With the arrows on the keyboard highlight the factory reset option and hit Enter.
[Acer Iconia A500] scotbot:
thanks that worked great! I didnt have the screen rotation lock on and that was keeping me out of the recovery mode. I didnt need to use the keyboard method. Although I did order one of those leather USB keyboard cases for $19 today so I will be able to play arround with it. Once I get CWM on it will I need the keyboard or does the vol rocker work like on my EVO.
[Acer Iconia A500] bpivk:
No. It works by holding power+volume down but you have to hold it until you see the recovery message not just the Acer logo.
[Acer Iconia A500] ziggy34:
You don't need a keyboard in recovery, vol. Buttons are all you need and power button to select.

Edit: can you tell me the seller name from eBay? I was looking at one also, just wondering if it was the same one.
