[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Seems that all of a sudden I can no longer receive calls. I thought it was just certain people since I had received calls before but now the people who were successful in the past can't get through any more. It's either just dead or says call not allowed from this device or those beeps you get when the recording says "if you'd like to make a call...".

I'm wondering if I inadvertently did something to cause this. I'm totally new to smartphones, android and sense. I've gone through settings that I know I went into and I can't find anything. I rebooted phone, leaving it off for a few minutes, still no incoming calls. I can call out though, even before reboot. Have not done any temp rooting since I'm still reading up on all that stuff and don't have a grasp on it yet.

I did install some apps but this seems to have started without connection to that although I can't be certain. I can gather a list of them if needed.

I'm thinking of doing a factory reset. I've backed up all the pics and videos I took over thanksgiving to my computer and I believe there's only one app that wasn't free that I got from the Amazon app store. Will all my contacts stay if I do a factory reset? I still have my old phone so I suppose I could get Verizon to transfer them over again, or maybe I can get them off my car since I just put them on there.

Oh!!! Would it have anything to do with me having set it up to use in my car? I was sending out music via bluetooth so I had to set it up as a "portable player" in my car. Maybe I changed something in the phone... I can't really remember and I'm not finding any settings in the music app or in the main settings.

Anybody know if there's something I might have done? Am I safe to do a factory reset?

Edit: One other thing I did to the phone was add a "Music" folder on the external sd and put in a bunch of music. I couldn't find how to do this in the manual or via google so I just hooked it up to my computer and tried that and it worked as far as listening to music. Doubt it would affect phone but wanted to be complete in this post.
[HTC Rezound] punman:
Installing apps and making music folders should in no way affect your ability to receive phone calls. Sounds like you need to call Verizon.
[HTC Rezound] MrSmith317:
Agreed, before you go resetting anything call *611 from your handset or whatever Verizon's 800 number is and see if they screwed something up(more than likely)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Yeah, I called earlier but I don't have another phone to call from so I'll have to go down there. I made her promise they would compensate me for my time since I complained about switching from AT&T and having problems already. ;)
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
Hahahaha.... I inadvertently turned on call forwarding and it was forwarding to number 9. I know exactly how I accidentally did it too. I was clearing out my old AT&T contacts which had come over and they all start with *. I wanted to be certain they were not Verizon numbers so I dialed each one first and one of them activated the forwarding. I didn't seem to get any notification of it being turned on that I noticed.

Needless to say I thanked the guy at Verizon for finding out what it was and did NOT ask for any compensation. :o

:p
[HTC Rezound] putney1477:
Glad you got it all figured out :) I would have been in panic mode!
[HTC Rezound] feralicious:
I almost did that when he started talking about me having to return it to Amazon for a replacement. I immediately started thinking no! I have red buttons! My phone doesn't overheat or reboot on its own! What if I get a bad one. Plus they're on backorder there! I need a phone, my old one is AT&T!! LOL.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoiSinZ:
Hi guys, I'm new here and have been scouring the forums on how to do things but I keep getting caught with uncertainties.

I have an i896 Samsung Galaxy S Captivate with a Rogers 2.3.3 Gingerbread installed.

I have rooted it with no issues and its also unlocked.

What I want to do:

1. CyanogenMod 7

2. Overclock the CPU

But what I don't know is...

1. Since i'm running a Rogers ROM, do I have to flash to an AT&T ROM then to any custom ROM?

2. I read the instructions on how to update to the CM7 ROM but every instruction I read says I must have Froyo/Eclair to goto CM7. So do I downgrade and if so, how can I do that? I tried and what ends up happening is the phone's reception bars have an X and data doesn't work either. In the phone About properties, states that the baseband is "unknown". I suspect I need something more than a stock Rogers ROM without bootloaders. I couldn't find a 2.1 or 2.2 stock Rogers ROM with bootloders.

3. For overclocking, I installed Voltage Control and Control Freak and neither let me overclock, the max CPU is 1000Mhz. I assume I need a custom Kernal to do this but haven't been able to find how to do this during the CM7 upgrade.

I just need someone to point me in the right direction on what order to do all this and whether me having a Rogers stock 2.3.3 ROM causes an issue. I've done a lot of reading on these forums so its not like I just signed up and wanted to know the easy way out. I simply want the proper way to do things so I don't repeat the same mistakes many people may have done in the past.

I have used Odin, Heimdall, Odin One Click, Super One Click for rooting.

Hopefully someone can guide me in the right direction and help me achieve these goals!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
You dont need to go back to Froyo, as GB bootloader is compatible. but you need CWM to flash CM7. you can use Rom Manager app to flash the CWM.

Just download CM7 zip file, wipe data, system and cache and install it using CWM. It comes with custom kernel so you can overclock it using those apps you mentioned. You can also flash Glitch kernel....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoiSinZ:
See that's what i've been trying to do but when it comes to installing the nightly rom in zip format, it tells me the signature failed.

Do I need to buy the premium version of rom manager or can I get away with the free version? I don't want to use my credit card, i rather wait until paypal is implemented with android market.

This is so frustrating...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Wdustin1:
You need to Odin flash a custom kernel that has CWM in it and then install the zip from CWM. I don't know if all kernels for the i897 are compatable with i896 just have to read. I

Currently Fusionized
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoiSinZ:
Ya that's what I don't know either...I read tons of threads where people with i896 Rogers roms tried to flash with AT&T based roms or i897 roms and either bricked their phones or made a mess that took much more to get them back to stock...problem is the people that have i896 roms here I can't contact until I hit 10 posts...so I'm here stuck until then...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Just flash a custom I897 kernel with cwm, once complete, yank battery, replace and button combo boot into recovery and flash the ROM. Whichever kernel you choose doesn't really matter as zip will flash a compatible kernel, the I896 and I897 are identical other than cosmetic branding.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SaHiLzZ:
I was on stock rogers 2.3.3.

Installed Sumari kernel. Booted into the sumari recovery, installed CM7 zip, the phone rebooted into cwm recovery, and continued installing.

It worked pretty smoothly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoiSinZ:
okay so i flashed my phone with a stock 2.3.5 rom with CWM, but how do I update to CM7? When i boot into recovery the only option I have is reinstall package. Do i rename the CM7 zip file to update.zip and that should work? I'm so lost...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bimmernut318:
In CWM recovery you need to choose install zip from sdcard, make sure you are in fact in cwm recovery
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Before you do that....you need to flash a kernel with Odin that has cwm in it...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BadBoiSinZ:
Woo! that worked like a charm haha yea baby yea!! :D Thank you soo much!! i was so scared to flash my cappy going from Rogers to AT&T that it would brick the phone. Got CM7 with Glitch Kernel and overclocked to 1.4 sawweeeeet!!

Now time to fiddle around and customize!

Thanks everyone!!

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Birdmanul:
Hey there everybody,

I'm new on the forums and i just got my samsung i5500 a few days ago, it came with 2.2 froyo by default.

Considering i have loads of questions I'll try to be brief, I'm trying to get cyanogenmod on my phone but the tutorial i found there seemed to be quite lacking in detail considering this is my first time using android, so my questions are:

1. what exactly do i need to do/install on my phone before trying to get the cyanogenmod on there ? ( in the respective order please)

2. do i need to root my phone ?

3. when i tried to root my phone using universal androot 1.6.2 beta 5 i got an error "Failed ! No ~~~ Fu goo ~~~" why am i getting this error and how do i fix it ? (the log says access denied in several places)

4. do i need to install odin on my pc to install clockwork mod considering i don't have the clockwork mod ? if yes, where do i get odin from and do i need a specific odin for my galaxy 5 ?

5. do i need the rom manager ?

6. where do i get cyanogen mod files ?

7. how do i do a wipe data/factory reset ?

8. do i need to install 2.3.7 gingerbread before installing the mod ? if so, how ?

Please excuse my noobish questions but i'm completely new at this and terrified of damaging my phone, thanks for your time and attention.
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
1. Install 'clockworkmod recovery'

2. Yes

3. Did that for me, but pressing the root button again, before shutting app, worked

4. No, you can install clockworkmod through the app 'ROM Manager' found in the market, be sure to click our phone model though!

5. For installing clockworkmod, and if you get premium, downloading the latest version of cyanogen

6. Through premium app 'ROM Manager', or go to the rom manager website and find the files on there.

7. You have that option when you are booted into recovery mode (used for installing roms)

8. If I understood your question right, cyanogen rom is gingerbread 2.3.7 so installing that is all you have to do

I was exactly the same as you when I first did it, kept asking questions and was nervous, but if you follow the instructions, you can't go wrong :)
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Birdmanul:
3. Tried pressing the root button several times(without closing the app) but to no avail, any other suggestions ?

4. Tried installing it through rom manager but my phone model wasn't in the list, any ideas why ? could my phone not being rooted have affected this ?

6. tried searching around on the site but the cyanogenmod post says that the files are only available on the weekends or you need a premium account or something like this, any help with this ?

7. how do i get into recovery mode ?

thanks for the helps so far, i really appreciate it
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Do you have the latest version of it? Or,

have you tried any other apps? E.g 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot'

4. When did you try it? Its only recently been added. And I would root first, just to make sure that's not stopping it

6. I havnt personally used it, but id ask that in the dedicated cyanogen port thread in development, they'll be able to help you more

7. Through rom manager, after you have installed the clockworkmod
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Birdmanul:
Yes, as i said i have 1.6.2 beta 5, and i haven't tried the others because this one was deemed the safest to use, i'm kind of skiddish about using other unsafe programs

4. I tried it a few hours ago, but i guess i'll try again if i can get it to root.

6. found em, thx anyway
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Alright, its there for me so if you root and its not there just tell me and ill try help from there. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Birdmanul:
Ok just tried to root with 'z4root' or 'superoneclickroot' but they both came up as viruses on my eset smart security 5, any other rooting solutions ?
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] Jordanooo:
Try this version of universal androot, http://bit.ly/9wAKC5

Tried it, doesn't work and it's exactly the same version i have.

It's on my computer.

[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] mwr6636:
If your phone is loaded with Froyo 2.2.2 you will have to downgrade to 2.2.1 as the exploit used by superoneclick ect to allow root access was fixed in the latest Froyo release. Just follow the threads for upgrading. Good luck!
[Samsung Galaxy 5 I5500] 9-iron:
Birdmanul, I have had the same problems trying to root my I5500. Could you PLEASE give me a run down of the program you used or what EXACTLY you did to root your phone? I have tried w/all one click root programs w/o success and would really appreciate your insight. Thank you in advance for your help.

[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
What do you use and why? :D
[Motorola Droid 3] doogald:
I use 8 MP, mostly because I read somewhere that the delayed focus problems that the stock camera has seem to affect the phone more with 6 MP wide than 8 MP. (Well, that was, and still is, the Bionic, which I had for a bit before I got the D3, but I do the same with the D3.)
[Motorola Droid 3] ChaoticWeaponry:
8MP. Higher resolution = Better pictures.
[Motorola Droid 3] Diggy1584:
6mp widescreen. The difference between the 6 and 8 isn't that big to me since I don't plan to blow a picture that large.

P.s. the quality is determined by the lens not the mp
[Motorola Droid 3] DoubleYouPee:
Thing is, I accidentally made some 6MP pictures but since all the screens I watch pictures on are either 16:10 or 16:9 (rather than 4:3) the pictures look way better by default.

Not really. The 6MP pictures are just a trimmed 8MP picture (e.g. they cut a bit off the bottom). So essentially the quality is the same just less picture.

Even if it was normal 6MP (not widescreen) I doubt you would see much different because yes it's mostly lens based
[Motorola Droid 3] Dri94:
not to keep repeating the same thing but just to give you an example. the nokia phones using carl ziess lens have a much better picture quality using 5mp, than our 8mp cameras.

Hey guys,

I haven't seen any posts or threads about the supposedly less than stellar audio quality issues on videos recorded by the Amaze 4G.

Does anyone know if this is a hardware or software issue? And has it been resolved by OTA updates or custom ROMs?

Thanks in advance!
