[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
My first order of business is to flash to stock (JF6, bootloaders and all if all else failed) but being that it automatically boots when the battery is installed I don't think even a jig would help...or is the beer steering me wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
I am confused. You can go back to stock or no?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
I cannot get into download mode. The only way to power the phone off is via battery pull.

I cant flash anything from recovery because it says the power button is disabled (it is).

As I put the battery back in the phone boots immediately...I mean the at&t screen lights up my palm before I put the cover on or even flip the phone over.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
Use an app from market to enter download mode? system toolbox free is one
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
Used Odin to go back to stock KF1 and still no power button. Now System Toolbox won't work w/o root/busybox. lol

Once my phone falls asleep I can't wake it back up.

It may seem obvious that the power button is physically broken but I don't know why the phone boots up as soon as the battery is installed...that was never the case before this issue came up.

:confused: :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
watsa? Anyone?

Can anyone else shed some light on what would make the phone boot when the battery is inserted (happened at the same time the power button became unresponsive), essentially denying me the opportunity to get to download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
beyond this point I am consfused myself. I initially blamed Pinnacle :( and thought going back to stock might fix it which obviosly didn't happen.. It seems like your power button is always "pushed" so as soon as you pop your battery in phone reboots..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] watsa:
On a second thought if it was the case then power button should have messed up functioning of your phone even after powering on. So I am consfused more. Need a hardware expert here
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
I'm preparing myself to deal with my beloved phone finally letting me down after all the success we've had...it's just really bad timing as I'm currently unemployed, broke and only 13ish months into a 48 month contract. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KonaZXIII:
Ok, so after a physical tear down it seems to be in the external plastic of the button itself?

After removing the outer case and reinserting the battery I noticed it did not automatically boot up. I pressed the actual power switch/button that is connected to the board and the phone then powered up. I let it finish booting and held the power button down and the power options menu popped up. I clicked Power Off and it shut down fine.

This means it certainly isn't Pinnacle ROM (never thought it was, personally), or software related at all. Now to figure out what is going on between the plastic external power button and the power switch on the board.

Edit: Nothing was there? I blew out the dust reassembled the phone and now it works fine. Weird. :confused:
[Motorola Droid X2] densetsu86:
Is anyone running this rom? If so has it fixed the music skipping popping? Not just limit it but fully get rid of? With my current set up I got rid of most of it but I want it all gone. I use my phone for music alot since I travel close to 2hrs going to work and another 2 hrs going back home for 5 days a week. So even though I get about three songs to pop or skip (give or take a couple of tracks) it still annoys the heck out of me.

So im just wondering on if this fixed the issue.
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Still skips. But not as bad on the stock app for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] XGrinder911:
Skips more for me.
[Motorola Droid X2] matts175:
Skips about once per song for me...
[Motorola Droid X2] RyanThaDude:
Not as bad as 2.3.3 but still skips pretty bad.
[Motorola Droid X2] Versatile1:
What kind of skipping? Music player or pandora? Because I use power amp and it never skips unless I use bluetooth.

Sent from my Droid X² Eclipse Rom + BNB Theme
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
For me everything skips. I went back to my 2.3.3 nandroid because I need quickoffice. I did pull out the ATRIX stock music player & phone portal apks & they work fine on x2 GB.
[Motorola Droid X2] Elite49:
I'm so glad that this is something we still can't fix..../
[Motorola Droid X2] ilovesoad:
Skipped on gb and froyo for me, but not on atrix port.
[Motorola Droid X2] GigaRack:
What is the name of that music player? I don't see it in the zip file. Is it a market app?
[Motorola Droid X2] garywojdan81:
Blur.music.com?
[Motorola Droid X2] dadi4168:
I believe someone posted a fix in the Atrix Port Development thread. I'll see if I can find it...
[Motorola Droid X2] EvilTim:
The more I see people post this problem the more it seems like an issue processing the music file. A way to test is to download some low quality mp3 or wma and see if they play better. I don't use my phone to play music unless it is streaming, and I never have any skips, so its gotta be the way the codec (or whatever our phones use) processes the files right?
[Motorola Droid X2] GigaRack:
Yeah I saw that but the player in the Atrix port rom was different than the stock player It has built in radio stations and such as I remember. Oh well I may be flashing back over to it anyway considering v6 blurless has just enough bugs to drive be away. So far the most trouble free rom for me was the 1st eclipse (2.2?)

---------- Post added at 09:20 AM ---------- Previous post was at 09:09 AM ----------

It is a strange problem....for me it pretty much went away with the gingerbread update. Others report that buying a high speed sd card helped. I think it has been the biggest dissapointment in the phone....I mean I had a computer that skipped music but that was in the year 1997!!!!
[Motorola Droid X2] TXI Kaze:
I noticed a few tiny hiccups when listening to music with the stock player. Just switched to a 3rd party app, no problems at all. My suggestion would be to take the .apk from the Droid X2 for the music player and move it to your phone, making a .bak of the previous and making the X2's your primary player, if you will.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordareon:
Hi.. id like to know if its possible to put the stock android theme over the dark blueish theme of the original android that comes in the latest OTA update.. thanks!
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ccrows:
If you really want to theme up your phone (including a Vanilla theme) but don't mind some occasional bugs, check out "HeLauncher" from the market.

Otherwise your best bet is to use Launcher Pro, since IMHO that runs the smoothest that I've used of any launcher on the Atrix...
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordareon:
Thanks ill be looking in them.. hope i can get that vanilla theme that i miss os much
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lordareon:
ive tested them... they just change the home... sorry i was looking that changes the overall system theme, like having back the grey notifications bar.... thanks anyway
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dante04SRT:
I'm not sure if it's a problem with the phone or something else, but I CANNOT setup any email accounts with this phone.

Having used a Captivate, I'm familiar with the process, but whether using the auto setup or inputting the server names/ports directly, all I get it errors.

Any idea WTH is going on?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
What do the errors say?
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Dante04SRT:
When it tries to go through the auto setup it gives me an error saying Setup Could Not Finish - Username or password incorrect". I KNOW 100% that the username and password are correct (and that I'm entering it correctly) as I'm able to login to my email directly at Cableone.net using the exact same information (and it's been the same for YEARS).

I think it has something to do with the fact that Cableone.net's email is/has switched to GMail and I'm betting there's some confusion there.

[edit]We figured it out - Apparently we had to migrate the email to the Gmail stuff... once we did that, it worked.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] TheCajun:
Glad you got it working
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
After several of my videos came out sounding muffled or with no audio I did a test and found the microphone used to record video is the same as you talk into for calls (bottom of the phone).

My questions are:

What is the pin hole next to the camera lens?

Why would you design a camera with the microphone facing away from the subject you are shooting (and in my case put it in a place where you would hold the camera)?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] devator22:
The inc2 has several mics, which are what the pinholes are. What rom are you running?

Sent from my mobile typewriter.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sixteen2nd:
I'm running SkyRaider Zeaus which seems to use the Sense 3.0 camera. Do different ROM's and different camera apps use different mics?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ExNight:
The Inc 2 only has 2 mics, the bottom of the phone pin hole, and the top of the phone pinhole. The top is for noise canceling.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmp:
Hi,

I'm having a strange issue. There's a few mentions of it in the main EH17 ERA Hurricane ROM 1.6 post, but doesn't seem to have any solutions. I would've posted there, but since I'm new to the forums, can't...

Firstly, this rom is one of the better ones I've seen. A few random reboots here and there, but overall it's been great.

Getting the really annoying notice when the phone is fully charged. I could live with the screen on, but it's the beeping/vibrating that is really annoying. I recently got an extended battery, and fortunately, I can unplug the phone just before going to sleep, and plug it in around 5-6am with enough time to get back to full charge by the time I need to leave.

The rom is supposed to have the "fix" for the fully charged notice, but for some reason it's not? I followed the recent instruction with the lockmod and AIO and everything worked great.

TIA,

Carlos.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtuansdiamm:
Is there an unanswered question there?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmp:
Yes - is the battery full notification an issue/bug with the 1.6+lockscreen+aio?

Seems a few people are reporting but no confirmations, etc.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ksmullins88:
Hey, I just saw this post in the q & a.

I'm pretty positive its coming from the lockscreen... were looking into it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carlosmp:
I also tried it with the removal of all the apps in the zip, and it still has the issue. I ended up redoing the phone last night after I tried experimenting with TI backup a bit too much and wiped out my voicemail, calculator, among a few other apps. I did a clean odin to the pre-rooted EH17 and then followed the load procedures.

Thanks,

Carlos
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] f16pilot:
Its absolutely coming from the lockscreen mod. My initial install of 1.6 included the lockscreen mod and aio mod. When my battery was charged, the "battery full" popup appeared along with a very annoying (and continuous) bleep. I wiped and reinstalled 1.6 without the mods and the bleep is gone.

Another peculiar thing caused by the mods was after the battery was charged, the USB connected icon stayed in the notification bar even after I disconnected it.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SMF80:
Are we talking about a popup or notification bar icon here. I'm on 1.6 with aio n lockmod. I dontget a popup, but if my phone charges to 100% when I pull the cable out, there's a green icon that stays in the status bar saying, please unplug charger. It won't go away until I reboot. Is that what you're all talkin about or is this something diff.

Doh, as soon as I posted I saw the second prt of previous post. Ok, so ayone know why its happening.
[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Apfels:
I really do like the motoblur keyboard that comes with the atrix-gingerbread update. I recently install CM7 prebeta #4 and comes with the stock gingerbread keyboard. The keys on that keyboard are too small. Theoretically, couldn't I replace the latinIME.apk in CM7 with the alien rom's latinIME.apk inside the CM7 rom?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paintboarder:
Is there any way you can make the title bar clear on the home screens only and completely black when in an app? im running Synergy RLS1 and i tried using a clear notification bar mod and it looks amazing on the home screen but when i open an app its just wierd. like if the app is white you cant see anything on it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnizzel33:
I have an old evo and its rooted but every time i try to load a rom it shows the lock screen then turns off and starts over. i used all the wipes tried the pc36img and it wont detect it in recovery. is there anything that i can try to get it running again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
You tried returning it to stock via a RUU?

If not, that's where you should begin.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnizzel33:
ok i will try can i connect from recovery cuz i cant get any further
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Can you tell me your hboot version?

Then I can provide the proper RUU.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnizzel33:
2.10.0001 i had to add something
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattykinsx:
Take this file and name it PC36IMG.

Ensure that it's name is PC36IMG and it is a zip file. [Make sure it is NOT named PC36IMG.zip.zip]

Put it on your SDCARD but NOT in any folder.

Restart the phone into the bootloader and accept the update.

See if that fixes the issues or not.

thanx downloading now
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
Since it's less than a week until release and we still don't have a separate section for the upcoming SGS2 Epic Touch 4G I figured it would be nice to know which developers are planning on buying/ developing for it. Hopefully this will give users a better idea of what it will be like over there before buying ...
[Epic 4G General] crawrj:
I am not really a developer but I plan on going to the touch. I chose the Epic because of the keyboard and I have never used it. And it isn't because of the keyboard lag. It is because I loved swype. And I have wished it didn't have one since I got it. So I am looking forward to the new phone. Plus I actually like touchwiz and am really looking forward to native touchwiz4. And besides the obvious improvements to hardware, I love Odin and how simple it is to flash whatever we want.
[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
I an in the exact same boat. I'm not a dev either. I bought for keyboard and always use on screen kb. I am excited for Friday
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
I'm not really a dev, but I do plan on representing ERA for the E4GT, bringing as good a theme as I can.

[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
Does anybody know when they usually add a section for a new phone? I was active in the Asus Transformer forum on XDA weeks before release. I guess I'm just surprised they haven't built one yet.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
It is weird they haven't been added yet.

[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
I thought the same thing. Wasn't the Evo 3D section up really early?
[Epic 4G General] ksmullins88:
honestly i was going to get the epic touch... until i saw the specs for the prime...

its like epic touch on steroids with no touchwiz....

easy no brainer
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
I plan on swapping into the ET4G from the photon on Friday. I love the Photon but am more comfortable on the Samsung hardware. So count me in :-)
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
So, you're willing to wait until the winter to upgrade? That's why I'm not waiting on the Nexus, too many differing specs, and who knows if sprint will get it honestly. It'd be logical to put it on sprint, but not every buisness decision is logical.

If I get and keep the ET4G, I will be pairing up with Zanderman
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Korey, not that I am going this route but do you know how much Sprint pays for the Epic on the buy back program?
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
I believe it is $85, not worth it at all.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Ouch! Well, I am keeping mine anyway. I still won't come close to my landline minute limit even splitting the minutes between two phones. Now, if your review of the ET4G is not a good one, I may still back out...but everything I have seen to this point has been positive
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Have there been any reviews yet? I haven't seen any and I think it's because Sprint still hasn't sent them out yet to the websites. The only way sites could get them before me is through Samsung.
[Epic 4G General] zanderman112:
Whoop whoop! I wish I could upgrade friday! Stupid october upgrade date. ...

[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
Wirefly has the first part of their review up on YouTube, been there for a couple days.

Worth watching for sure but still cant wait to see yours, since developers tend to go more in-depth in their reviews.

I wish I could get one, I keep trying to think of what I can sell that I don't need/want anymore. *Looks around... That didn't long, its right in front of my face, now I need to find a way to cover the other 300$ -$400, not gonna happen.

[Epic 4G General] nebrando:
Just an FYI - Best Buy's trade-in program shows them giving $112 in store credit for an Epic in good condition. That seems pretty decent, considering you wouldn't have to mess with listing on eBay and shipping, etc. Especially with the ET4G coming I would imagine the Epic would have less demand.
[Epic 4G General] JohnCorleone:
Wow, that's almost $20 more than Sprint. I still won't part with my Epic.
[Epic 4G General] iSaint:
So $199 minus $112... I can get the touch 4g for $87 ? Or do I have it wrong?
[Epic 4G General] ptfdmedic:
That would be correct. However, the last time I checked, Best Buy only took phones that were bought from Best Buy and you need a receipt. This however, may have changed but I think it would be important to know this for sure prior to venturing out.
[Epic 4G General] daneurysm:
That's only for their buy back program. They take trade ins. Got $137 for my evo4g. However I paid for the buyback program for my evo3d so in getting $350 for it. I get my et4g for -$150, lol.

Actually I have a question about upgrading. Im the second line on a family plan that is sprint premier. I thought that the 1st and second lines get the upgrade every year deal. Does anybody know if this is correct.
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
unless you guys have the 3000 minute plan, your only silver, and no one gets a yearly upgrade. if your gold, the first line gets the yearly upgrade.
[Epic 4G General] tatoniss:
Darn , could have sworn i was told both lines get it cause i know we are gold. Well thats to bad.
[Epic 4G General] Whosdaman:
Individual plan wise, $89.99 plan our higher and each person who has that gets yearly. Family plan is $169.99 or higher and its only the primary line.
[Epic 4G General] SemiGamer:
If your family member that has the first line doesn't mind, you can upgrade that line and than just swap the new epic touch onto your number/line and put the phone they currently have back onto their line right after, Or give them your current phone if it's better than theirs. :)
[Epic 4G General] shane6374:
My thought exactly!
[Epic 4G General] bbedward:
Im developing for it, picking it up friday ;)
[Epic 4G General] austin420:
why do you say or higher? is there even a sprint family base plan that costs more than 169.99?

edit: ahh, i see now on the sprint site that there is an unlimited family plan for 189.

edit number 2: i see you can get a everything data 1500 family plan without any mobile any time for 99.99. does that still include sprint to sprint?

thats not bad for a couple of really light talkers.
