[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maizein:
Hey Captain, which rom are you using? I tried to install CM7 w/o success :(

I was thinking about intalling Fasty II but I'm concerned about installing GB bootloaders.

I have Rom Manager and seems like I can download and install Fasty II using it but I'm not sure if it's required first to install the GB bootloaders. To be honest, I don't evem know what bootloaders I have right now. How do I check that?

Cheers,
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
You cant check. If you flashed I9000's gb bootloaders then I9000 logo apears. Else you cant really check. Have you flashed ANY Gingerbread rom that isnt CM7?

This project was done by Eccentric Vision Development Team, which consists of myself and dlamber7. It is Android 2.3.4 with the new Blur for the Motorla Cliq 2. At this point, no root is achieved. That is still being worked on.

Copy update.zip to root of your sd card.

To install, enter stock recovery by holding down X and Power until you see the Android and Exclamation Point. Close the keyboard and press the Volume Up, Volume Down, and Camera Keys (use volume keys to navigate and power button to select). Scroll to Wipe Data/Factory Reset and press Power. Scroll to Wipe Cache and Select Power. Scroll to Apply update.zip and press power. This will install GingerBread.

I have been a long term lurcker, and have learned a lot from you guys, and appreciate all the wealth of knowledge. My problem is, I have like 8 nandroid backups and they are close to a gig each. My SD card is at 85% and I want to delete the backups I have no use for. Anyone have step by step instructions as I am scared to do a total wipe and end up with stock, or something stupid like that. (noob as u can see). Thanks in advance.

Look for a folder called clockworkmod on ur sd, inside u should find one called backup, inside that each folder is a backup, they are named with their date in something like yyyymmddhhmmss

I wanted a command to do it while I am shelled in to it.

This don't work, but works with Samsung.

mount -o remount,rw /

Also when am shelled in to the phone up or down arrow keys on keyboard don't work to bring up commands I've typed instead having to type full command again. I get this instead # ^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[A^[[B^[[C^[[D

Think need to configure the keyboard.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] manwiththedroid:
Is it possible to have the stock 2.3 lock screen minus the text? I would love to have just the slide lock/silence and my background, zip download would be fine, but I would love to learn how to do it myself.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] manwiththedroid:
Anyone? I would expect at least at a sarcastic comment but nothing at all?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] joshlane4:
The only way I know to modify the lock screen is with a application, such as WidgetLocker...They have a default option for a Sense lockscreen, but I've never tried it (I'm an AOSP man personally)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
The uot kitchen might be able to do this. I personally know nothing about it, but I've heard people talk about the wonders it works. Google is your friend in this case, I think.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
yes you can hide virtually anything

just takes some tinkering
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] forgiven90:
This thread interests me also... I'm using Virtuous with the 3.0 lockscreen. Haven't figured out how to remove the "31000" on top of the time... I've tried modifing it with root explorer and going into spn-conf.xml file but haven't been able to edit it. Also tried Carrier Name all it changes the file but not the screen.... Any sugg??
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] manwiththedroid:
This seems to be on the right track for what I'm looking for... Im going to mess around with it. Thanks!
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cambunch:
I know CCName can change your carrier text and, therefore, you can make it blank. I don't know how to change the other ones though. Does Sense use a Clocktopia font? If so, you could probably make a "blank" font.

AT&T delays LG Thrill 4G (Optimus 3D) again (to September 4). I took this picture with my HTC Inspire (Desire HD) at work (Radio Shack).

I work at Radio Shack in the US and currently have the HTC Inspire 4G (Desire HD). I was planning on switching to the Thrill (Optimus 3D) to see if I like it. I'm a little unsure about having a LG phone, but what do you guys think? It'd be easy for me to switch back to the Inspire/Desire HD, so it's not much of a risk. How do you Optimus 3D owners like your phones? Pros/Cons?

What are your DL/UL speeds where you are?
[LG Optimus 3D] Lagamorph:
Why are they billing it as 4G? I didn't think the Optimus 3D was a 4G phone. Or has that functionality been added purely to the US model?
[LG Optimus 3D] mashem:
Right now it'll be on AT&T's HSDPA/HSUPA (3G with backhaul). It allows download speeds of up to 7.2 Mbit/sec (I usually do around 6 mbit/sec download, 1 mbit/sec upload). Their LTE (Long Term Evolution) should be rolling out soon. ATT did a demonstration of their LTE and had a download speed of 28.87Mbps and 10.4Mbps in "real world conditions". They are advertising the LG Thrill as "4G" because it will be compatible with the LTE when it comes out. But for right now, let's say that it'll be on 3.5G ;)
[LG Optimus 3D] mad_sunday:
There is a lot of negativity towards this device because it has the "wrong" badge on it.

I have had this for almost 2 months and its a great phone. Here in the UK it's an absolute bargain compared to other top end devices on carrier deals. On free phone deals it is £5 per month less than the Samsung S2 and £10 less than an iPhone 4. The present economic situation means value for money is a good selling point again.

There are now more than a dozen people where I work who have bought this phone after seeing mine, they previously had iPhones, Blacberry's, Samsungs, HTC's etc.

Seeing this phone is enough to break the badge fear. What you get for the price is a no brainer :-)

[LG Optimus 3D] Echts:
The delay has been public a while, radio shack stopped taking pre-orders and called all the once that had a pre-order to inform them of the delay.

As for 4G, it's marketing and AT&T does it to more or less all their phones and they are not the only once calling 3G 4G =/
[LG Optimus 3D] Beriaru:
Let's see:

Decent screen & good 3D.

Nothing to complain about radio (good reception, no drop connections...)

A little short on RAM, but enough to work & game anything nowadays.

Enough horsepower under the hood to move anything now and tomorrow. And plenty of source code from TI to develop for that platform.

The only 'con' you could consider is lack of updates from LG... but CM is around the corner.

If only had better battery...
[LG Optimus 3D] Echts:
Lack of updates from LG? no really IMO.

It's been out like 2months and there have been 2-3 updates from LG? is that bad?

Sure it's not at 2.3 yet but LG has done updates adressing stuff like the Camera, still slow to load but taking a picture now is actually ok.
[LG Optimus 3D] Beriaru:
I'm not saying that LG does not update. I'm just saying that is the only 'con' you could consider to ditch LG. The hardware is in par or better than other phones, and radio's firmware is good, so the software is the only flacky point in a possible near future. But with CM, in the very worst scenario (LG abandons it) you know you can live without them.
[Galaxy S II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardabelati:
Hi All,

it has been a week now that I got my SGS2,

I have installed the Juice Defender and when I check the LOG, it came up with this Screen on and then off and then after few minutes it goes back on and then off again(this is happening automatically - no user intervention) . This happens as if someone switching on the screen . please take a look at the screenshot below. The ones with the red arrows

I am wondering which setting is needing to be adjusted as I believe this will take some juice out the battery if it keeps doing this every few minutes.

thanks guys

I Know the cdma nexus is not compatible..... i love the nexus but sprint has gone downhill in my area in the past few months. With Download speeds in the 400kbps average. 700. on a good day. and seems there are more and more places with no data. even in cities.

Should i pick up a NS or wait for something better to come out.

Wait for the Nexus Prime.
[Nexus S General] p00kienrayray:

[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
So for some reason my USB has stopped working and i can no longer connect to a computer or charge the phone.

I've already purchased another phone so i'm trying to repair this one to use as a backup.

I took the phone apart and the USB port looks to be in tact without any problems, does not appear to have any loose connections or broken connectors.

I did find what looks like maybe some type of corrosion that may have seeped under the tape and bridged two connections on the board.

The phone works perfectly fine except for the USB port, as long as i use a charged battery the phone does everything is has been able to since i purchased it the day the EVOs came out.

So my question is, does anybody know a way to root with hboot 2.16 without using USB? The only method I found to root was the most recently beta released version located at http://revolutionary.io/ which requires a connection to the computer.

I found a possible fix for usb not working and in order to try it out i need to have a rooted phone.

Does anybody have any type of schematics for the EVO? Showing pin outs, etc?

Here's a picture of the section i'm most concerned about, so maybe i could possibly bridge the connection if for some reason it was damaged:

I'm pretty good with electronics and have no problem soldering connections, i do it all the time with traffic signal electronics. Just wondering if someone knows where a schematic or something would be?

Any ideas guys?

Please don't waste a post by telling me to file insurance claim, I did that already and already have a new phone, this phone i want to try and get working so i can have it as a backup in case something happens with my current phone.

Thanks for all the help in advance!
[EVO 4G General] Duke4eva:
I wanna know the same thing my EVO will charge but won't connect to the pc for some reason.
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
Oddest thing! I came to the forum to post about the same problem. I just noticed that I cannot mount my phone to my computer anymore. I did not change ROMs or anything. It was working before.

It will charge but when I plug it in my computer says an unrecognized device is found and that's it. It won't install it and just gives me an error on the PC. This occurs on my desktop, netbook and work computer where I used to be able to mount.
[EVO 4G General] Porlean:
Not sure about any schematics or is any exists for this certain occasion but with the problem you have there I'd say if your experienced enough you best getting brand new charger port from ebay rather then fixing that busted one. you can get a good OEM charger port for $5 on ebay
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
To everyone that says they can charge but no data connections via usb. We busted our ports somehow guys and girls... It's not aofwatre. Bootloading problem etc.. It's hardware. Known issue if I recall as well.

Also you should try to sand the corrosion with a fine grit if you can. Or maybe it was bridged and you fried something. Have you seen any burnt parts on the boars?
[EVO 4G General] Cares:
Is there an official post regarding this "known issue"???

Or is there a DIY fix for this? It is quite annoying to transfer files on and off my MicroSD without a USB connection.
[EVO 4G General] GuestX0011:
No but I have heard people taking their phones in due to USB port issues and said that the people said it was a known issue. As I recall if you look into it you should find that there is alot of problems wiht people and USB port issues.
[EVO 4G General] TripFlex:
Yeah i still haven't been able to figure it out, got busy with work and didn't have time to mess with it until just now.

I'm going to order a new usb port and solder it on and see if that works.

I will update this thread with my results, should be in about a week.

[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HECTOR-ZERONI:
I've been through about 7 or 8 android devices and one feature I've LOVED on mostly Sense ROM's and MIUI, is the ability to change lockscreen wallpapers. Is there some kinda app or mod to allow that? I'll keep searching in the mean time..
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Saenzscene:
There may be others but widgetlocker, ripple lock and agile lock allow that. Agile lock is a sense 3.0 look themed lockscreen, ripple is honeycomb theme lockscreen. They have wallpaper lockscreens though. They are paid however.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HECTOR-ZERONI:
I actually found one that's pretty awesome. "Lockscreen agenda pro" like 2 bucks, its really good :D
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Saenzscene:
Awesome, I am going to check that out myself. Thanks.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] HECTOR-ZERONI:
actually aftr like 10 minutes or so it makes you unlock twice. The app and the stock one. Its BS. Ima look for other ones

Update* there is a app called "No lock" which disables my stock lockscrreen. And so far so good.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] Saenzscene:
Thanks for the heads up. I got that as well so I'm on stock cm7 lockscreens for now. Waiting for something to come along.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjd80:
hi there,

Today I added a 16GB class 10 Lexar micro SD to my captivate running Dlev's Rom version 4.3.

after adding the card and rebooting, all of my downloaded apps seem to be broken. their icons have all changed to a grey version of the default apk file icon with a small SD card in the bottom right corner of each. I have taken no action to move them to the sd card or anything. All I did was add the card. has anyone else seen this? I can post a screen shot, if that will help.

when i try to launch one of these apps, i get a long error message starting with, "android.content.ActivityNotFoundException: Unable to find explicit activity class"

UPDATE: So, i ended up just reflashing my rom with the new micro SD in there, which seems to have solved the issue. even so, i am still curious about this error.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4-2ndtwin:
Menu> Settings> Applications> Preferred location> "Internal memory" then reboot.

Just guessing, but maybe that will work.

This is a question-come-guidance request to the senior/experienced members.

> Is it possible for OB to simply just root and then Overclock?

> If not, then why?

--

I mean, in some devices, after usual rooting, we can use applications like SetCPU or similar to set the CPU frequency and voltage. But while browsing some websites, i came to know that it is not possible in case of OB due to some chipset issue or something like that. Is it true? Or there's any other reason? .... I will really appreciate if someone with knowledge can give a little technical info about this.
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
first of all ,you need init.d script support

you can flash quasar kernel to solve it , and then ,write some code into init.d

done
[LG Optimus Black] murrun:
one of my friend said that he underclocked his cpu with this: https://market.android.com/details?id=com.antutu.CpuMasterFree&hl=en

he is using rooted stock rom. without quasar kernel.

is it possible?
[LG Optimus Black] dxdiag32:
just like you said,he's underclock,not overlock

we all can set lower frequence via setcpu or other applications,but can not overlock
[LG Optimus Black] officialreloaded:
Thanks for the replies. I am quite pleased to know we can at least underclock P970 easily.

I mean, i needed to guide one of my friend who is no much knowing of custom ROMs, and i culdn't risk to advise him for NOVA. But, this underclocking is still easy and sufficient, since all he was worried about was to have a long battery life. And i just hope, even without the useful tweaks of NOVA v8, a simple underclocking can improve sufficient battery life. :) .

( if any other "not-so-much-geek-and-easy-to-understand/employ" ways you can suggest me to extend battery life, i shall appreciate. )

We have a vibrant and a captivate.. When connected via wifi at home, the market and gmail will not connect, but both phones access the internet just fine otherwise.. They connect fine to the market and gmail using 2G or 3G, or other wifi networks..

Can anyone let me know what settings I might adjust on the router to allow connections to gmail or the market on these phones?

Strange thing is I have exactly the same problem, but this only started yesterday. The days before I was able to download several apps via market over wifi, but as of yesterday I can not even see the home screen when on wifi, no problems when on 3G.

[Networking] bonedriven:
I had this problem 2 days ago. I have searched the web a lot for this problem. Now I found 3 solutions that you may wanna try.

1. Clear cache and reset to factory. Don't skip the sign in on google account. Sign in immediately! (had not worked for me though!)

2. Check your firewall settings. Especially, I used my laptop as a hotspot source with virtual wifi router(ht_tp://ww_w.virtualwifirouter.com/). I have tried connectify and virtual router, but they had problems on my laptop, while VWR is simple and effective! (I still couldn't connect to market and youtube at that moment though! Very very frustrated!)

3. I read someone said he tried to set the parameters of his mobile network manually, and it worked for him. I didn't expect much on this method but did give it a try. OMG! It worked! What's worth to notice is that I found that the instruction provided on my operator's website (Orange.fr) is actually a little bit different from the settings the phone automatically loaded.

3.

Hope it works for you guys!

I had same problem but reset of router helped...

One more thing to add: Use static IP address for your wifi connection! Mine was not stable with automatic address!
[Networking] chschris2011:
Try to forward the ports needed for google, 5228 i think, that helped my cappy a little bit, try clearing all your networks, see if that helps. Google around for captivate wifi problems, hundreds of threads with lots of solutions.
[Networking] iflyabeech:
I did try forwarded the ports for one of the phone, problem is there are three.. And port forwarding didn't work, neither did resetting the router, or resetting it to defaults, and they all had a static ip...Still no good..

If familiar with wireshark, try setting up on a computer, connecting to market with phone and see what u get. Maybe packets being blocked, hard to say.
