Thanks for your advice..I installed Thor's V12 rom, and the music stopping when screen off is gone. I think it's because of the Google Music app that's already installed on the rom. I never used it before, because I don't stream music. They are all stored in the SD. So I just used the Music app that's included, not Google Music. Now that issue is solved. And one more thing's solve, and I'm really happy about it. The few second lag after running heavy tasks is happening not as frequently. It happened just once after using the rom for 1 day. And I'm fine with that. However, I need to mention this about the portrait lag. I have had this issue since the beginning of honeycomb, I have tried factory reset before, and it's the same. When I say portrait 'lag', it's not the lag that refers to reacting slowly when using the tablet. I mean that it's not as smooth as when it's on landscape mode, and it's a little jittery. And MANY people confirmed this issue. Even with no app installed, it's still present. And I don't remember which one right now, but I remember watching a popular (i think I remember this) reviewer doing a xoom review, that honeycomb is choppy in portrait mode, and it's an android issue that google needs to address. I saw this video after purchasing my tablet, so I didn't know about it before..

Anyway, I'm actually much happier with my tablet now, after installing the Thor rom. it's much better (IMO) than the Taboonay I have tried before. Except there is one problem with it, but I don't want to write comment about it here, because it might lead this thread to off-topic.

Anyway, thanks.

Are you using Google Music (streaming app)? Or just the stock music player? I just installed Thor's v12 rom, and I think Google Music is pre-installed, and I'm not having the music stopping problem now. I have never thought about installing this app myself because I never stream music.

[Captivate General] foofiebeast:
I've had my captivate since launch, I've played around with roms a bit, but I recently (about 2 months ago) put stock 2.3 on and have left it at that. Every once in awhile my power button wouldn't work properly (instead of putting it to sleep it would just bring up the power menu). At first this happened once or twice before I could get it to just go to sleep and then eventually this week it started taking me 40-50 presses to get it to go to sleep instead of bringing up the power menu.

Now the power button does not work at all. I can turn the phone on and off by putting the battery out and in, but once the screen goes to sleep, I am SOL. Interestingly the same day it finally called it quits, about an hour before I restarted the phone (because it was starting to get really bad) and it came up as Jan 1st 2005, 12:00 a.m. I set the date manually, but it will not fix the time no matter what I do.

Because I have had the phone so long, I am assuming whatever flimsy warranty I had is long gone, and on top of that I'm currently in the UK until mid Dec at the very earliest.

Am I basically just screwed? Should I just ebay a crap phone for now? I know I have read that this is probably a hardware issue (the date thing makes me think otherwise), but I really don't have the extra cash to buy a soldering iron, nor the time to teach myself to solder again (it's been atleast 12 years or so since I've touched one, and I never had much practice with one).

Is it worth flashing back to 2.1 to see if that helps? I know there are some issues with flashing from 2.3 to 2.1, something involving changing the bootloaders back first or something?

I want to take the phone apart and try to clean the contacts as well, but I currently can't find an eyeglass screwdriver. It is unfortunate that that seems to be my best bet at the moment, unless does anyone have an ideas?
[Captivate General] mrhaley30705:
Try shooting compress air into the area around the power button. Also take the back cover off and blue out as much dust as you can. It's a long shot, but it might work.
[Captivate General] Red_81:
He has a point. It almost sounds like the dust around the Iphone home button issue. It might bring it back to life or you may be in the same boat.
[Captivate General] bulletproof1013:
Good idea. But with electronics, most of the time you don't want to just blow air into it.you want to take it apart and clean it. Blowing air sometime can cause other problems(just moving the dust/dirt around)
[Captivate General] foofiebeast:
So I took out the 6 screws on the captivate...but I can't for the life of me figure out how to get into the phone. Also the bottom two screws that are kind of under the sliding bottom, is there a trick to getting those out? Is there a video posted anywhere?

This is getting incredibly frustrating, and I need this phone to at least last me until late December when I go back to the states.

I'd try and flash back to stock just to see if that has any effect, but I'm too scared that without the power button I'd just end up getting stuck. I can't boot into recovery either, I don't know why though.
[Captivate General] TRusselo:
there is a "how to" for getting in the captivate, in the forumscalled "captivate tear down" from what i remember.
[Captivate General] foofiebeast:
Thanks a lot, that sorted me out.

Unfortunately...

I cleaned everything and there has been no change.

This my current status (if anyone has any suggestions, I'd love to hear them, as this is getting painfully annoying and my battery life is understandably awful). The phone turns on if I put the battery into it (is this normal behavior? I don't think it is, so I am a bit curious about that). The power button is completely useless, it does nothing. The volume rocker works fine. If I know I am going to be using the phone I set the screen timeout to 10 minutes (annoying that there is no 5 minute option). If I want the screen to turn on I have 3 options, listed from most practical to least:

1)Plug in the usb cable either to a power source or my computer. This works, but obviously not if I am out and about. The other end has to be plugged into something.

2)Get an sms (or mms I suppose) text (whatsapp, gchat, aim, email, etc. does not work) from someone and very quickly pull the phone from my pocket and hit the unlock code before it times out (like 3 seconds or something?)

3)Pop the battery in and out. This works at any time obviously with two huge caveats. 1) Once in awhile it resets the phones status to Jan 1st 2005, and it won't for hours or over a day reupdate the time automatically, setting it manually kind of works, but it seems to cause a lot of problems. and 2) it's really annoying waiting for it to start up again, and doing this multiple times completely kills the battery.

The fact that cleaning out the phone didn't help (and coupled with the battery thing and the resetting to Jan 1st) is making me think that this is not a hardware issue.

Anyone have any more suggestions on what to try? Again for the record I am running "stock" 2.3.
[Captivate General] pizz0wn3d:
If you flash a miui/cm7 rom, i believe there is an option to use the volume buttons to wake the screen. I know it's an option on cm7, though can't remember if it's on MIUI (I'll look through my settings after this).

As for the actual flashing process, you can set up adb and use it to get into recovery if you don't have any other means to do it without the power button atm.

Edit: yep you can do it in miui. Here's a picture of it under settings > system > button settings

Herp derp Captivate XDA Premium.
[Captivate General] foofiebeast:
Not the most preferable option, but thanks I will definitely look into doing that. I'll try and get adb set up this weekend. Good suggestion, I appreciate it.
[Captivate General] pizz0wn3d:
No problem. Adb is actually really easy to set up. I avoided it for so long because I thought it was a hassle. There's also a toggle you can add to the pulldown in miui/cm7 that locks the screen when you press it :)

Herp derp Captivate XDA Premium.
[Captivate General] chappatti:
A search on Google shows the power button issue is a more common one than imagined:

On the software side, it is a rogue app that is set to worng settings: Try and undo the last app you installed. e.g advanced task manager.

e.g http://www.droidforums.net/forum/te...ve-power-button-unable-get-out-standby-4.html

These forums here says it is a camera app problem......and suggests a fix:

Well in one of the many many Steve job biographys out there he was quoted as saying " I dispise android. I really do. Having them run out of the mobile market is just not enough. I want them destroyed. I want them to have no existance on this planet. I (Steve Jobs) will spend every penny in Apples bank, and every resource in my power to make sure it happens.".

I'm at work I will find the proper links and citations later .

Later on he was also quoted as saying " Why should some one (Android) be getting fame and money off of a stolen OS, with stolen features? It makes no sense to me as to why so many people love and adore such a dishonest company."

[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
Hi,

I need some help.

I rooted this morning, deleted some bloatware and downloaded titanium backup and backed up files.

Now my next step was to delete the recovery file with root manager but the app wont let me switch to R/W when I am in the bin folder and it will not let me delete the recovery file.

I think I was supposed to create a recovery file? But I did so on ROM Manager.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] xIC-MACIx:
Why are you trying to delete it? If you are trying to get CWM you still need to install the modded 3e recovery and then rename the recovery you are trying to delete instead which is separate from the CWM download you do in Rom Manager, or at least I'm guessing that's what your trying to do...

IF that's the case you DEFF have some reading to do...BOOM...<--click it lol

Thanks bro
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
i see the light, im on the right track now.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
LOL, wtf, I downloaded the zip recovery, unzipped and put it on the sd card.

I copy, then when trying to rename, it wont let me mount R/W
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
Okay... LOL.. it was the root explorer app. there was something wrong with it. I reinstalled and it works.

I got it free on 4shared

Well it's usually something isn't it? But ya most of the questions and/or problems you might have can be answered in that link I gave you, an already answered question in the Q&A, or the "super thread" sticky in the dev section.
[Samsung Infuse 4G] chrscap:
Big thanks for hooking up the link and big ups to the devs and creator of the link.

I had to find out what was the cause so I wont repeat. I went through a boot cycle. From the video, it said to just rename the recovery to .bak. I think that was the cause of the boot cycle. (Gotta follow steps!)

Thank god for the unbrick by GTG.

I will try again but I will delete the original recovery file.

Hey I admit, ima noob at rooting/flashing but we all got to start somewhere!
[Samsung Infuse 4G] Sarius24:

If you used SuperOneClick there is definitely an "Unroot" option when open up the program. If you want something different, Gtg's Ultimate Unbrick will put your phone back to a completely stock state, EVEN if your phone is not bricked, don't let the name scare ya lol

AT&T stock, sorry, didn't see you were rodgers. So from what I've seen there is no Odin back to complete stock for rodgers, also the link chrscap gave you will not work without modification, its meant for AT&T. The only link I know of for Rogers stock is HERE but it includes root. (look through that thread and see if "unroot" is discussed)

I do know you can manually remove root by first removing the Superuser App then the su binary.

I have been using the latest CM7 stable and the GPS just does not work. Previously, I used MIUI and I used a handful of their releases. Only one of the ROMs had working GPS.

Finally got tired of not having a fast, accurate GPS. I Heimdall'd back to stock, updated to stock 2.2 using Samsung Kies and GPS still does not work.

I am beside myself. I need a working and accurate GPS. I have tried all the patches, zip files, fixes and just cannot locate a combanation that work for me.

Pretty much all Froyo ROMs have working, accurate GPS. At least, as accurate as the Vibrant is capable of. Vibrant GPS could best be described as "modest".

There are some tweaks you can use to try to improve your lock. Give AngryGPS a try and see if it can lock on.

I use MIUI, and I run AngryGPS before using my Navigation. Works like a charm and gets a good, strong lock.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jamesyl:
If you flashed to stock 2.2 and your GPS does not work, you have something else that is wrong. JI6 had working GPS out of the box. Use LBSTestMode or Angry GPS to do some diagnostics.

I'm currently very happy with my HTC 7 Pro, but on November 2nd I'm eligible for an early upgrade on my 24-month behemoth of a contract with Vodafone.

What do you guys think? Do I upgrade early and play with a Nokia WP even though I'll be keeping the must-have physical keyboard of my 7 Pro, or do I let the last 6 months run and wait for the (well, there'd better be one) upgraded 7 Pro?

It just looks so damn good!

Absolutely not. Nokias are fake. and not what they used to be.

I would have to say no. If you already have a WP7 device ther is no reason to get this thing. To quote an earlier post of mine:

"I was going to buy this phone to replace/upgrade my Focus but there is ZERO reason for me to now. My Focus has an equal quality screen (better acctually) as well as the awesome option of expandable storage and with Navigon it has offline turn-by-turn navigation. All Nokia had to do was not screw up two things they got right with the N9, FFC and 64gb storage option. Total fail."

http://gizmodo.com/5853494/why-nokias-windows-phones-are-better-than-good-enough

keep in mind I would rather have a smaller screen with a greater dpi than a big screen with an awful dpi *cough*titan

I mean it may not be your bag of tea, but to say its a fail because its not 64 gig is a bit short sighted. As is the screen argument since you've not even played with it, and hardly even begun to experience CBD amoled. Trust, it is definitely on par and exceeds SAMOLED Plus by leaps and bounds.
[Nokia Lumia 800] PG2G:
I'm waiting until Windows Phone 8 before I upgrade. The 2nd generation devices aren't a big enough of a leap over the 1st gen to justify upgrading.
[Nokia Lumia 800] MartyLK:
Not even the fantastic Focus S? I can't wait for that phone. SAMOLED+ and that form factor crackles my rice crispies.
[Nokia Lumia 800] PG2G:
Not for me, thank god (my Focus is a year old so it'd be an early upgrade). There isn't a massive performance difference between the phones and the whole pentile thing never really bothered me.

I figure if you wait out the full 24 months of a contract, you'll get a TRUE jump. in performance. The generation after this one should be over 2x as fast as the 1st gen phones when it comes to CPU, over 4x as fast when it comes to GPU, be LTE, yadda yadda yadda. They might even exceed that when you consider that those specs are today's high end Android phones.
[Nokia Lumia 800] MartyLK:
Good reasoning.
[Nokia Lumia 800] uryu_ishida:
Unless you plan to use video chat, the only thing wrong with the phone is the 16 GB in storage. However, compared to other phones in the same price range (e.g. the HTC Radar), 16 GB is pretty good. If you can find a way to get by with only a part of your media collection stored on your phone, then it should be worth it. The looks alone set it apart from every other phone in that price range, including Android phones.
[Nokia Lumia 800] magicsquid:
Personally, I would wait.

If your 7 Pro is your primary device, you'll get most benefit from upgrading that. Otherwise, you would have to carry two phones with you or use your Nokia like an iPod Touch.

i.e. in 6 months time you'll have more options and won't have buyers remorse if someone releases an awesome phone with a keyboard before then.

Even if there are no better phones with a keyboard, Nokia are likely to have released additional devices within 6 months e.g. the rumoured Nokia Ace and possibly more. I think it is quite likely that Nokia will eventually produce a WP device with a keyboard - not sure if it will arrive within 6 months though.

[Nokia Lumia 800] voluptuary:
I'd rather have a 4" screen than a 3.7" and they are both AMOLED screens with basically the same PenTile tech. CBD and Super AMOLED are basically equal picture quality and viewing angle wise, and if I had to pick I'd take the 4" screen.

Second, storage is important to me. I have the 24gb on my focus filled and I'm pondering getting a 32gb card to bump up to 40gb. I only have 200mb on my data plan (and this is all I'm gonna pay for as I never really use more) so the 25gb on SkyDrive means **** to me. I wan't storage and I would gladly pay for it so for them to not offer it is dumb, or at the very worst give ME the option to pay for an SD card to install.

Thirdly I use skype alot, my next phone HAS to have a FFC for Nokia to not offer it in this phone is dumb. They had to go out of thier way to remove it from the design they had already in the N9. Just plain dumb.

I'm not hating on Nokia. I WANTED TO GET THIS PHONE after seeing the N9. I had assumed they wouldn't trash all the nice things with it but they did. Smaller screen, smaller storage, no FFC. ALL FAIL.
[Nokia Lumia 800] kotaro_14:
I really don't think it's with it. WP7 is already silky smooth as it is on a underclocked processor, you don't need an overclocked one. I would wait until quadcores come out which they should since MS decided to skip out on dualcores. I'm thinking more powerful OS in the future we might see Windows 8 since Nvidia showed it running on their ARM Kal-El quadcore processor. So in short just wait, not worth the upgrade to be wasted.
