[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] BulletProof2088:
I believe the reason you're not going to CWM Recovery is because theres a binary file you need to edit since the SideKick has a faulty Recovery file.

http://www.simply-android.com/discu...work-mod-recovery-for-t-mobile-sidekick-4g/p1

If I'm not mistaken, the edited binary file can be found here, and that will allow you to boot into CWM Recovery. Be sure to back up the files just in case. :) And on the site it tells you to overwrite (still back up) so overwrite, and do not replace or rename. :D Hopefully that'll help!
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] souldrainer2021:
yea but it wont let me replace the file, it keeps saying file already exists or that i cant do that :(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] dbiggss:
If you are rooted, you have to make sure that the system partition is mounted as readable/writable (r/w) before you attempt to replace the recovery binary file.

The easiest way to do that is download ES File Explorer from the market, then go into settings and scroll all the way to the bottom. Select the check box for "Root Explorer" ; then, check the box for "Mount File System". You will get a superuser warning prompt- "Allow" it.

Now go follow the process to overwrite the recovery binary and you shouldn't have any problems.

--Finally, make sure that you ALSO have the update.zip on your SD card and boot into recovery. You will end up seeing the stock recovery-select "reinstall packages" and voila... you should be in CWM.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SouprGrrl:
The password is "samfirmware.com" without the quotes (simple google search).

So I also have this file (T839UVKD1) sitting on my hard drive waiting to find out: is this safe to use?

I don't care if it's new or old, it's the only .tar related to the SK4G that's downloadable and it just needs to work.

I just don't understand why no one will simply post T839UVKD1 or T839UVKG2 for those of us who need it (is it a bandwidth thing?), everyone just wants to say, "just go to here/this post," where all the wonderful instructions are that can help me save my phone, but where the links are dead (megaupload and multiupload are down, as we all know, so the files are unattainable) so we download Odin or Heimdal and the .pit file, but are stuck because: no .tar.

Anyone? Anyone? Bueller? Bueller? Bueller?
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] souldrainer2021:
T839UVKD1 SHOULD be safe to use proving the file you have is not corrupted, you can use it for Odin. if you wouldnt mind posting it i would really super appreciate it! :)
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SouprGrrl:
I tried it with Odin, failed. No harm no foul. I'm going to try it again, but I'm sure it's nothing I did wrong. Can't get Heimdal to play nice on my laptop or I'd try that too.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SouprGrrl:
Wow, I'm. DUMB! I wrote this filename sooo many times in trying to find it, but I have KH1, not KD1.

I tried KH1 and it failed. Sorry for the tease. I would LOVE to have KD1, but I don't.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] souldrainer2021:
haha okay im fairly certain that KH1 is definitely not supposed to work. it doesnt sound like any firmware ive been looking for lately... whats wrong with heimdall?

and seriously somebody should reupload those files =(
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SouprGrrl:
Heimdall says "??1critical_section@Concurrency@@QAE@XZ could not be located in the dynamic link library MSVCR100.dll"

I've googled it and can't get a solution that works.
[T-Mobile Sidekick 4G] SouprGrrl:
The T839UVkH1 Worked!

Odin said FAIL two days ago and truly nothing happened until this afternoon out of nowhere. I was going to try it again but just left the phone hooked up to the laptop and left it alone. All of a sudden the charging symbol came on, instead of being frozen gray battery it was a dark battery with the little green fillup and the dots below showing it was charging. I waited, then unplugged the phone, turned it on, waited 3-5 minutes like if Odin had succeed, and voila! Working phone.

I'm showing:

Firmware version 2.2.1

Baseband version T839UVKD1

Kernel version 2.7.32.9

Build number FROYO.UVKH1

So now how do I get T839UVKD1 off my phone to post for the rest of us, now that I have it . . . or can I?

GREAT Lockscreen!

But I would prefer decent little Icons (matching greyscale) for the unlock positions (Phone, Unlock, SMS).

Other than that:

Very elegant

Very creative

Smooth, nice animations

Love it :)
[Android Themes] Drakknar:
Thanks man, we will work on that :)
[Android Themes] Try4Ce:
Great stuff.

Using this Lockscreen now :) Actually great response in unlocking at the different unlock positions. I always felt like that lockscreens with free moving unlockers were kinda glitchy, this one is the first I use without having this impression
[Android Themes] picard666:
glad you like it and we will work on the target images (it's requested by some people now)
[Android Themes] mainevent3405:
Great LS. Been using since yesterday. +1 on the target images. Icons instead of tiny x's would be much better. Also if there's a way to do some sort of album art that would be great! :D

[Android Themes] jordan23945bulls:
Nice! But is it just me or do I have to hold the lock in place for a little so it unlocks? :/
[Android Themes] picard666:
afaik it's a global miui bug that you have to keep it there for about 0.5 seconds to unlock
[Android Themes] el_jefe:
Lockscreen looks very nice, but unfortunately it doesn't work on my HTC Desire.

It even does not show up between the themes when I add it to the folder \\sdcard\miui\themes. :(
[Android Themes] picard666:
you navigate to it in file explorer and click on it then you can apply it. after that you can set it everytime in theme manager.
[Android Themes] el_jefe:
Thx! That worked! Even looks nicer in real! :)

[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
honestly? id say 2-1 we get official ics...it was promising that the og inc got official gb over a year after release, and id imagine we will probably get it

of course, worst case scenario we ll get aosp ics...ie cm etc
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] sjpritch25:
I think it will be a Christmas present to all of us. :eek::eek::eek:
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
I don't see us getting a vanilla form of ICS. That would totally change the look of what the standard non rooted user would be used to and cause panic.

It would be interesting to see how ICS and Sense will work together though and I would expect to see a version on Sense 2.1 with ICS more then anything
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nitsuj17:
we wouldnt get vanilla ics from htc...just from devs building aosp

sense 4.0 is supposedly for ics

thats actually the bigger question mark imo

would we get sense 4.0 and ics or a dumbed down sense and ics?

idk what htc's take on that is
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] PharmCAT:
The actual ICS? Never officially, but 100% likely from XDA/Rootzwiki.

Will probably get a "Sensed Up" version by the middle of next year or maybe closer to Fall of '12, the fact that it's on Verizon adds at least half a year of development time. And also since it's not the HTC Evo or Sensation, they are not as eager to push new OS updates to them, so that is another number of months.

Regardless, ICS will be ported to the Inc2, and then just as with 3.0 and 3.5, we will get the Sense version ported to the Inc2 as well. Just don't hold your breath for anything official. More likely that some bored forum member will do the work than a multi-million dollar company like HTC.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] tincbtrar:
Definitely expect a dumbed down form of sense. But who knows? I've been wrong before and will be wrong again in my life. Lol

[Captivate General] Flustered:
After 3 months with Samsung repair they finally agreed their Chinese knockoff 1010 Captivate was faulty and gave me a brand new 1108.

The Samsung repair guy even told me that they had different runs of 1007-1010, half of the batches were Korean parts and built solid, and other runs where it had many Chinese made parts and built hastily.

My 1010 had to be from China town. It had a bad speaker, flimsy power button, flimsy latch on bottom of phone that holds back cover on, it wouldn't stay in place. And the GPS didn't work for squat, which if it wasn't for the fact it sometimes locked onto one sat, I would think there wasn't a GPS chip in that phone at all.

I never dropped my old phone, and it even had a Bodyglove case on it since I got it. And now that I think about it, the old 1010 Captivate battery definitely said Made in China, this 1108 has a battery that says Made in Korea. I'm really happy with this new 1108 Captivate, GPS works great and everything is a lot better.

Anyway, long story short I used Odin3 1-click to flash KH1 and it failed midway through the flash for no reason apparent to me, except that newer phones are specific about how they like to be flashed? I used Odin3 1-click for some other bootloaders and it worked. I read about it before trying anything with this new Captivate and heard that Odin3 was supposed to be OK...

I'm stuck at the brick screen that has the icon Phone--Exclamation Point--PC. Nothing works to get into download mode, USB battery pull, all different button combos and timing with unplugging usb and putting battery in, releasing power button.

I've tried everything but a jig. Is this a known problem with newer captivates that a jig is the only way to unbrick it from the Exclamation Point screen? What if a jig doesn't work? OMG :( I don't know if Samsung will even talk to me if I try to replace it again.
[Captivate General] nbell13:
The screen you see is download mode, just slightly different. Odin should detect it, and you should be able to try flashing again.
[Captivate General] Flustered:
No luck, bootloader is gone and for some reason Samsung disabled 3-button. I'd say I'm really lucky the flash didn't stop at another point. I'm gonna need to try a jig.
[Captivate General] steveo314:
If Odin doesn't read it then it's back to AT&T. Tell them you accidentally pulled the usb from the computer while you were transferring files. I had the captivate from sept 10 til oct 11. The jig won't work. Its either go to AT&T or send it off for jtag.
[Captivate General] Flustered:
[Mod edit to delete fighting]

Anyway, yesterday I ordered a jig off Amazon Prime overnight and the Lasership guy was delivering it as I was leaving for work 8AM EST. CBA with the 300k resistor cause lining up the pins is a pain, and my hands sweat too much, hyperhydrosis... But dang that was a fast delivery.

And the jig worked too, as I knew it would because 3-button was still rebooting the phone, just not going to DL mode. And the bootloader flash randomly stopping and saying flash failed wasn't completely user error. I should have flashed the individual pda, not used 1-click, but Samsung changed something in the newer captivate batches.

Samsung probably felt like screwing everyone who doesn't use their s**tty touchwiz, that or ATT had a hand in it. Then on top of that the 3-button is disabled.

Of course the jig is still going to work because Samsung isn't going to JTAG everything, they would just rather use a bluebox jig on any phones that came in bricked.
[Captivate General] steveo314:
WOW some people can't listen.

And no one said send it to Samsung for a JTAG. There's a guy here on xda that'll do it for $40. Samsung will charge you over $100.
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
Samsung does not do jtag.. at least not in their service manuals.

I do UnBrickable Mod for $30 + shipping. UBM is far superior to JTAG. You can delete all the bootloaders on your device or replace them with your favorite Justin Beiber MP3 and UnBrickable Mod will still allow you to access download mode.

We put the device into a debug mode where it will accept a memory input from USB rather than booting from a flash.
[Captivate General] Flustered:
Sorry if it sounded like I was replying to you, I wasn't. My friends were also telling me "o no! black screen of death, jig won't work, it's bricked for good."

It was just a general statement, it wasn't directed at you. I didn't mean I was going to send it to Samsung to have it unbricked/JTAGed whatever. I meant that Samsung has purposefully made newer of Captivates easier to brick, but they didn't go so far as to make them permanently brick, they didn't disable the jig method.

Samsung knows they will see a lot of those bricked phones come back to them from Asurion/ATT Warranty Repair to turn into refurbs and they don't want to have to crack open every single one to unbrick them, that's why they left the jig method in place.
[Captivate General] Flustered:
Dang, that's awesome. I want to get that mod because I have a feeling a bootloader flash will brick the phone again, and I won't be so lucky with a jig next time.

How long after you receive the phone before the mod is done and it's shipped back?
[Captivate General] AdamOutler:
It takes me about 1-2 hours total and I send it back as soon as I can. Shipping is the major delay.

[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feioso:
Hi... I have an Xplay rooted on 2.3.4 and removed light bloatware, but still my battery drains fast...

I must charge phone every day and I dont use a lot of heavy gamming... I only play in bed at night and normaly to drain the rest of the battery before charging.

I almost never use 3G, but have always wifi turned on...

So, resuming, my battery only lasts about 12h-14h per day...

As you can see, in the attachemt I have 2 times the same thing (portuguese language, but will translate):

- Inactividade do telefone 28% (Inactivity off phone)*

- Wi-Fi 21%

- Telefone inactivo 15% (Phone inactivity)*

* This 2 things arent the same?

I have a few questions:

1º - I have read about people who can have phone about 2 or 3 days, others with 20h or more. What is the most accurate and normal on this phone?

2º - If wi-fi always turned on, will drain battery?

3º - Why most off % is used when phone is inactivity?

Sometimes the phone dont loose battery when "sleeping" (it take 2h to loose 1%), but other times, when sleeping, battery drains 10% or more in one hour. I have read about a bug in Android OS that drains battery when phone sleeping. Does this bug applys in ALL ANDROID phones, or only Samsung? Read it on here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1290020

If I charge phone every day will get battery "addicted"?

One thing im shure: the 3 first itens on the screenshots are draining my battery whitout a reason (i can understand wi-fi, but can't understand why 2 things saying phone inactivity, uses 43% of battery)

In that screenshot, battery is on 60%, so I losted 40% in 6hours with 20 minutes of gaming... and on those 6 hours, almost half, phone was "sleeping", again, it shouldnt drain battery when sleeping.

Thanks in advance for your help
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
What's shown as draining your battery the most is your phone's cell standby (your 3G & 2G network, or 4G if you have it). The third on the list describes your phone when it's not in use (screen off). Don't worry about that one, a higher % only means your phone is often in standby.

Having Wi-Fi on will often use more battery than using your phone's own network. To save even more battery, turn off 3G connectivity when you're not using it (you will still receive calls, just no internet, but you use Wi-Fi anyway).

Charging your phone every day is perfectly fine, just make sure you unplug it once it hits 100%. If you leave it plugged in while it's fully charged, it gets bad for the battery after a while.

That article about the battery drain in standby is likely just for Samsung devices. What is likely draining your battery are apps and services that run in the background and use the internet while in standby.
