[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 98XJ:
Kind of depends on what ROM you are running and what in the build prop is incorrect. Sometimes when running i9000 roms your build will be written to reflect your phone as no longer being an I897. It happened to me many moons ago. Luckily the rom thread had an updated build prop posted. Search for the Market Fix apk in the market. That allows you to change your signature that the market views your phone by. You may also try Market Enabler there's a few different versions to choose from, just a temporary ID changer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
Ok but what do I change EXACTLY to have it recognized by the market as a Samsung Captivate? And why don't these cyanogenmod developers fix this? It's a common issue why ignore it? Arghhhhhhh I'm getting irritated. A guy on the cyanogenmod forums said to use root explorer and change manufacturer to samsung and model to nexus s. I did that and only freaking difference is my XDA app says I'm using a nexus s. The market is still the freaking same and i even freaking cleared the cache and rebooted. Yeah I'm irritated. Just bought Modern Combat 2 and can't play it because of this stupid problem!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cor-master:
Finally figured it out, the stuff I was told to change has nothing to do with market access, changed 4 other entries to "GT-I9000" and that fixed the problem. Wasn't mad at anyone just frustrated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
To get everything to recognize it as a Captivate you need to chang eANYTHING that says Gt-i9000 to SGH-i897 and anything that says galaxysmtd or something like that to captivatemtd or whatever stock shows it as( I cannot remember what stock shows at this moment). But if you make these changes then xda app and the market and anything else will recognize it as a Captivate

I have done some searching bad have no found what I am looking for. This could very well be because I suck at thinking up good search terms.

Anyways, I am something of a smartphone noob. I have a TMobile vibant, which is my first smartphone. My child loves playing with various apps and games I have downloaded for her.

I had the idea of buying one of the very cheap, poor condition, phones off ebay so I can have my phone back.

My plan would be to never activate it on any cell network. I would connect via my home wifi, download some apps, then put it in airplane mode and let her have fun.

Questions:

1. Most of the cheap-o phones are cdma, which I have no experience with. If I never activate it on a network, am I likely to have any problems? I know that with my phone, if I pull the sim, I can still used it as a pda, but is that true of all phones?\, or do some require some sort of network login first?

2. Is there are way to disable a phone from making emergency calls? I don't want her accidentally doing that.

3. Other than the ethical questions of a "bad esn" phone, would one cause me any problems for this uses?

4. Are there are pitfalls to my idea that I should consider?
[General Questions and Answers] wpatter:
i have been using an old phone of my sons that way. its an old samsung moment (sprint) i down load new apps / games and try them out before i put them on my good phone
[General Questions and Answers] michaelnv710:
1. Though there may be some inconveniences with not being connected to a phone network (it will keep telling you to activate or put in your sim card) you will have basically the same ability as if you were connected besides making calls.

2. As far as I know, if the phone is not connected to a network, there is no possibilty of making a call. Some newer phones might be able to call over wifi but probably not.

3. Don't qoute me on it, but esn numbers are used only for cdma (no sim card) phones to connect to the network and for the network to identify what phone it is. When it has a bad esn, it is because it wont connect or activate to the network. You should have no problem.

4. This is something many people do. Its just like having an android iPod touch.

So this is essentially a combo between the stock ICS launcher + auto-rotate posted by bajansurfer and the 3 screen stock ICS launcher posted by matt_stang. what i'm posting is a 3 screen launcher which auto-rotates for landscape mode. I'm running oICSv26 and it works flawlessly (the app is actually sourced from koush's build). obviously i didn't create these mods, but only really combined them.

you should know what to do with this, not compatible with Gingerbread ROMs. rename to Launcher2.apk and push to system/app and set permissions or copy to system/app and set permissions to rw-r--r-- or:

x x -
x - -
x - -

in the root explorer permission grid.

download

updated with middle screen as default.

[Nexus S Themes and Apps] Shark_On_Land:
Nice. Does having 3 screens use less Random Access Memory?
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] amosher13:
no idea, guess in theory it would but I don't know if it does in the real world. I just only need 3 screens.
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] ZiggSVO:
Anyway to make the middle screen the home screen?

Good work man, thanx for your efforts. I actually use 5 screens now with the email widgets in ics being available but you know I appreciate the work that goes into this stuff ;)

I found one in aosp's thread with preferences option in it if you want to mod that one for three screen folks ;)

Download it with a browser like miren, stock browser failed for me too...
[Nexus S Themes and Apps] amosher13:
no problem, its nice to get back in the game a little. i havent done crap in months, lol. yeah i will probably take a look at that one too, i think its the one from CM9. that would be nice. :)

Some of us like wm7... but we really have no money... so comes alternaties like spb mobile shell, htc sense, titanium, and other homes to satisfy our wm7 needs (or wants)... These two softwares act like alternatives to wm7 lovers... Todayxlive, a home plugin activated from the 'home' settings (very same one you use to change themes) and Metrohome65, an external app... while the external app works fine, its troublesome to keep switching and the Todayxlive keeps crashing and you have to keep restarting the phone... (plus when you want to look for default apps to fix to the home screen, the names eg htcalbummanager htcmanila and others boggle your mind...) but its all worth a try...

Hello fellow Devs!

I have noticed a particular bug with this device, and only this device. A bug with the soundpool causes many apps to randomly crash (but without an FC). I'd like to post this in hopes some dev with knowledge on this would be willing to jump on this. I'm not very knowledgeable with it, but I do wish to help in any way possible!

If anyone has a logcat of the crash occuring, please pastebin it and we'll see if we can get anything fixed with it. How do you capture logcats? Either installed alogcat on your phone, OR plug your phone into a PC with SDK installed, open up CMD and type; (Make sure USB debugging is enabled)

This script will save the logcat in "Logcat1.txt" on your computer, to find it, you can simply search for it after pressing Start on windows.

Currently, apps that crash with soundpool bugs are;

Gameboid

GBCoid

(will update list as we are informed.)

To mods, if this is in the wrong place, let me know! I didn't feel it was necessary in the apps section since it's more of a device issue, instead of an app issue.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Shadow-Nexus:
So the question is do you use the desire s port beta as your daily driver?
[G2 and Desire Z General] biohazrd51:
Been on and off with it as there were certain features previously it didn't have I needed. Though with the update yesterday, it will probably be using it daily now.
[G2 and Desire Z General] devioid:
I was using it, until I ran into the mic volume issue. I'll be trying the fix for that again tonight, but for now I had to flash back to CM7. Except for the mic issue and lack of camera, I didn't have any major problems with the beta at all.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tgeske88:
I think its been pretty damn good. I've been using it as a daily driver for a dew days now. Besides the known issues (no camera, flickering screen using maps, data icon stays on 3g even when getting 4g speeds, no mms, no flash and no tethering). I just wish the OP would update his posts with actual relevant info. There's more than 30 pages with the same questions being asked and being re-answered. After manually fixing the low mic and applying the market fix myself, this ROM is actually the bees knees. Can't wait for future updates
[G2 and Desire Z General] Shadow-Nexus:
Can you give the link t two low mix problem fix please
[G2 and Desire Z General] tgeske88:
There's a link for it in on the top of page 84 in his section. Download them, remove the .txt from the name. Use root explorer and copy/paste them in /system/etc. Reboot, and bam! Working mic. You can also use adb, but id actually wait for the OP to update his ROM and just use that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] YOSEFE:
Since this is my second phone, I would say it is a daily driver. For camera I use my other phone, which is desperate for ICS... but might be fortunate at end of this week.

Thanks to the provider and others who have given us additional fixes and mods.
[G2 and Desire Z General] enserio:
it sure is my daily driver, although I haven't talked to anyone today, so I'm not sure if I'll get the low mic issue. Thought he include the fix in 4r1.2
[G2 and Desire Z General] RMWessels:
The Mic problem is fixxed in the latest update.

Other than that its perfectly good as a daily driver, though not as "smooth" as a non-beta ROM.

Its up to you, prettymuch everything you need should work so try it for a few days. You can always switch back.
[G2 and Desire Z General] devioid:
Since the last update with the mic fix I've been using it as my daily driver. The only thing I'm missing is the ability to receive MMS. Seems like it's working for some people though. If anyone has working MMS on T-Mobile with this ROM, I'd love to see your APN settings.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Gwanatu:
Me too, my MMS isn't working either. I flashed b4.2 of the Desire S port last night and I think I can safely say this is now my daily driver. Live wallpaper is a little funky too, occasionally stuttering and giving weird artifacts, but it's rare enough to where I don't really care. Also the camera is terrible on this so I don't use that anyway.
[G2 and Desire Z General] MuurHekker:
I am also using the port as DD.. the only bad thing is the battery, drains pretty fast!

Super oneclick doesn't work on 2.3.3.

Follow the links in my signature for rooting the G2x. Start with the clickworkmod recovery (does NOT require root first) then follow the instructions for rooting. Only took me a couple of minutes...and i'm an idiot, lol.

Not exactly one click but it worked for me. Plus cyanogen is a pretty respected source. Good luck. Also try Tsugi's custom rom for the g2x. Its actually not really custom.

First you need to dl the rom you want to your phone (look for ones that are pre-rooted i believe they all are it should say if it is). Then you need to do nv flash recovery. After this you enter recovery and perform your back up and then follow the steps to flashing the rom you chose. Go to the forum the look for the guide to flash nv flash shouldn't to difficult just follow every step and your should be good

Thanks, I wouldn't be surprised if this was some kind of federal regulation from the EPA or something like that. I noticed a lot of newer phones do this now, and tell you to unplug your phone. Like I really want to head to work with 80% battery.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] iSaint:
LOL at the pics
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
That's crazy enough to be true.

I haven't busted out my DMM yet, but I'm pretty sure the phone throttles the charge current down once the charge hits a certain threshold (the brick cools down). It also takes *forever* to charge from 99% to 100%, I found that while testing this fix and waiting for the phone to fully charge. If the phone is throttling the charge current, there's no reason to expect it won't turn into a trickle to keep the phone at max.

It's also interesting that 2.3.4 had sound + screen on + status bar icon while 2.3.6 dropped the sound. I figured that change had to be in response to complaints, but couldn't figure out why they'd leave the screen on (since that can be just as annoying). Some obscure federal regulations would explain why the screen on was left in there. I wish policy makers didn't live such a sheltered life so we could get some common sense legislation.

[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] cordell12:
Cool to have a app, but users shouldnt have to install a app to stop things like this. These little things should be options, the ability to turn them off should be in settings under "Display"

IMO
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
You're absolutely right. I saw several people referencing that when I was looking around for how to do this. I will probably add this to the original post. If you want to use an app for this, that's your prerogative. We should be free to make our own decisions, but it's not really a choice if you only have one option to choose from. Speaking for myself, I'd prefer not to clutter up my device with a bunch of use-once-and-forget apps if there's an alternative.

I approached this wanting to learn how to do something for myself instead of always relying on the work of others, so I leaned heavily on the work of others. Once I had it working, I decided to pass it along in the hopes that somebody else can benefit.

I think Samsung gave us one hell of a phone to work with but there are a few things I find annoying: battery charge notification, camera sounds, etc. Thanks to XDA I'm confident I'll be able to tweak and tune this device until it meets my definition of perfect, what remains to be seen is how much of this other people help me with vs how much other people do for me. However, I'm not saying my approach is better than yours.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
Amen brother!

If I'd been able to add options to make it configurable, I think we'd all come out ahead in the end.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
I do know there was a law passed a few years ago about camera sounds. That every phone with a camera must have a sound that can't be silenced when taking pics, for privacy reasons lol but we can have our keystrokes secretly logged and sent to an unknown server.

Thanks for this though, I think the charge light turning blue is plenty of notification that im %100.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
is it bad for the phone or battery to leave the phone on the charger after it is fully charged for an extensive period of time?

if i'm running custom rom (calkulin's) will this have any adverse affects? will it potentially break anything?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] phatmanxxl:
Unless your using an SBC kernel (which our phones don't have yet), no you'll be fine. The circuitry in the phone controls the voltage to the battery when its full.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
I don't believe so for a couple reasons:

1) Different types of rechargeable batteries perform differently. Where Ni-Cad batteries would develop a memory if you only discharged them to a certain level (if you frequently drained them to 75% before you charged them, eventually you'd only get 25% use out of them). Continuously charging a Ni-Cad battery to keep it topped off would result in a battery that wouldn't hold a charge. The batteries in our phones are Li-ion. I think Li-ion batteries are supposed to operate better at full charge and last longer when they get frequent charges instead of running them down before charging them back up.

2) While I haven't seen any specific discussion on the topic, I believe the phone throttles down the charge current as it approaches 100% (the transformer brick cools down because there is less current flowing through it). If that is the case, I would hope the Samsung engineers have the phone either turning off the charge current or only allowing a trickle charge when the phone reaches 100%.

However I'm not an battery engineer, so feel free to do your own research.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
yea i figured as much. as long as it's not sbc kernel the battery protection should suffice.

now, my 2nd question, will this have an adverse affects if flashed on a custom rom? i'm running calkulin's
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
Since I don't know whether or not calkulin has a modified SystemUI.apk, I think it would be safer if you made the changes manually but you're welcome to try it. Caulkins is pretty popular so if you find out it works you'll save a lot of people a lot of grief. Switching back and forth is pretty simple, just a matter of renaming files and rebooting.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
wish there was an easier way to edit the settings to try this. i am at work and don't have access to a computer to deodex.. any other way to modify these settings in the systemui.apk?
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
Upload your files, the apk and odex, and I'll take a look. It might not work if you're still on 2.3.4 or caulkin has made significant changes to the framework.

I wish I'd kept my 2.3.4 files and framework...
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
i must be deodexed because i dont have any odex files in my /system/app..

will my systemui.apk help you?

UPDATE:

latest calkulin's 2.0.1a is 2.3.6 btw (that's what i am on).. and i mentioned this mod in his thread.. and maybe this thread should be moved to android development? also, thanks alot! i hit the button.
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] AwfulFaded:
It looks like the sound and screen-on is gone so I removed the status bar icon.

1. Copy this SystemUI(Calkulin).apk to your /system/app folder

2. Set the permissions for the file to owner: Read/Write, group: Read, others: Read (644 for those who know what that means)

3. Rename SystemUI.apk to SystemUI.apk.old (you will start seeing frequent errors at this point, this is normal and expected. Don't panic just hit Force Close to dismiss the errors and continue)

4. Rename SystemUI(Calkulin).apk to SystemUI.apk

5. Reboot

6. Enjoy​

Please try this out and let me know how it works. Thanks!
[Samsung Epic 4G Touch] gershee:
OK, done. much appreciated. now i have to wait till i get home and charge my phone. will let you know in a few hours. also will give me time to see if i get any adverse effects! so far so good!
