Then you need Nexus S drivers. I recommend you also download android SDK while your at it. FYI any AOSP (CyanogenMod, MIUI, etc) use Nexus S drivers.

Ok im trying to reinstall my driver for windows 7 nexus driver u mentioned btw my device is listed as gadget serial under devices and printers ok ive chosen 16_Shrewsbury and trying to update the gadget serial to the shrewsbury driver i keep getting select device - the folder you specified doesnt contain a compatible software driver for your device. if the folder contains a driver, make sure it is designed to work with windows for 32-bit systems and just to let you know the driver file name i downloaded is samsung_driver the one i was using before was SAMSUNG_USB_Driver_for_Mobile_Phones_x86 so it seems i have a tricky aggravating device driver problem that is what makes all this hard in the first place trying to find needle in the haystack drivers when they should be outlined correctly instead of this. but anyway im hanging int their because i have a brick with nothing else so far. thanks agian for your patience in joining in my aggravatiion.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prbassplayer:
I really can't say. I just use SDK for that. =/ I've never installed any nexus S drivers, but I assume you can grab legit drivers from nexus site.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colliscannon:
This is what im going to try now, im going to unistall and try to seek out all the drivers and do away with them i wish there was a samsung driver eliminator program so i can go through the trial and error correct driver thing which i shouldnt be going through because i had the correct drivers before enough to root my phone in the first place this is just crazy but i consistently run across these driver issues when dealing with windows so i should just accept this i how it is and keep plugging at it till i finally have a phone again well if anyone has a miracle answer for me then feel free to relieve my anxiety and bless me with just 1 time a simple fix lol. I guess if this was simple in the first place everyone would be doing it.

When i ran MIUI, the only time i had a driver problem was with adb. Rest if the t time, Samsung drivers worked fine. You could always use heimdall, on Ubuntu (google wubi installer)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colliscannon:
im still stuck trying to get odin3 to reconize my device in download mode so i can one click fix my phone back to factory default , the trouble im facing is that i cant seem to get the correct driver ive tried so many different ones and im fighting windows 7 because it keeps putting i9000 or nexus drivers in automaticallly when i unplug the usb and reinsert in to initiate download mode. like i said in an earlier post i wish i had a proggie that could seek out the device drivers and annihilate them so i could start from scractch as yet im trying to find them myself manually and do away with them with not much luck.

Soft Brick Fix - Samsung Captivate

Another "Jump the gunner". That's me in a nutshell.

Here are the steps you will need to take in order to un-brick your phone.

(I have done this so many times, but I have never written a tutorial)

First off, it sounds like you have the wrong drivers installed for your phone. Most computers have more than one use port, and it will attempt to install the driver for the phone for every different port you plug it into. But lets fix the one that you have that's messed up already.

-With your phone in download mode, plug it into the USB port.

-Open control panel, system, then click on device manager in the left column of the window.

-At the bottom of the list you will see "Universal Serial Bus Controllers"

-Expand this list.

-Find the device that is supposed to be resembling your phone. If you don't know the name, you may be able to check by the windows clock for the green circle with the check mark in it, clicking this will tell you what "Ejectable" USB devices are connected.

-Right click the matching device name in the Device manager screen and then click uninstall.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Download the correct drivers:

Samsung USB Drivers

(go here, click software, USB driver should be first listing)

-Install the driver from where you downloaded it to.

-Plug in your phone while in download mode.

-Verify that the correct driver has been installed.

------------------------------------------------------------------------

-Open your phone and remove the battery.

-Replace the battery and battery cover.

-Open any Odin one click from this thread (Recommend one with Gingerbread bootloaders)...

Odin One Clicks

-Boot phone into download mode

-Plug phone into USB (After Odin is open)

-When you see the yellow COM port lit up, flash.

That should do it! ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colliscannon:
followed your advice and im still stuck with every device driver i try it either says will not reconzie my device or that device cannot start etc. i refuse to give up so if you guys are on this journey with me thats kewl. ok instead of manually trying to install the driver i goto setup now and when i run it i get this message

Install driver - SAMSUNG Android USB Modem Software was not installed successfully (16) There is a driver installed for the device, please uninstall first.

So now im in device manager trying to find the correct driver to uninstall since its not listed under usb devices it only comes up as gadget serial under other devices. Im trying to get rid of the drivers but i seem to be stuck in a loop . i found this link http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 so im trying the advice here and seeing if i can remove the device and add the right one man i should just reformat my hd and put in linux or unix or any os besides windows then id probably be ok.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
You don't have to reformat to do Linux. It will run via a live usb drive or a side-by-side installation.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colliscannon:
ok i used the advice from http://www.techrepublic.com/blog/window-on-windows/get-rid-of-old-device-drivers-hidden-in-vista/867 and showed hidden devices and removed all samsung drivers or anything remotely resembling samsung usb drivers including the gadget serial device and then reinstalled the supposedly correct drivers for my i897 atnt captivate or craptivate and it installed but gives me this error gadget serial control failed so now i suppose i have to find a driver that doesnt exist for a device that isnt correctly being identified by win 7 as a samsung galaxy s sgh-i897 antnt captivate. or does anyone know of a gadget serial control driver that will work so that odin3 will reconize my device so i can get some semblance of a cellphone back? no im trying the advice from http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1355666 with the title [SOLVED] Gadget Serial Issue - No Flash my problem is i have the same prob but require a flash.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmtheiss:
Have you given heimdall a try? It uses different drivers than Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] colliscannon:
I didnt have to use heimdal odin3 finally reconized my phone after following my previous post option and installing previous set of drivers for my phone not the newest seems u can save a brick after all but pain in the rear but now ive learned so im

ready to hack my phone to death lol btw if anyone else has this prob feel free to ask me fer help lol and thank you very much for all the help in this wonderful forum top notch support guys with this kind of diligence there is nothing u guys cant do :-))

So lately I've been having problems with my DI2. Occasionally, when I unlock, it appears to receive what it thinks is a touch at a lower portion, usually around the middle of the lower portion, of the screen, and this results in things like Home being activated, or the app drawer. This will happen even if no part of my hand is near the bottom of the phone (front, back, and sides).

More recently, it has become and indication of random touching on lower parts of the screen. I've had it completely freak out and type random stuff in input fields. When it gets really bad, the touchscreen stops responding, but I can lock and unlock to get it back, usually.

This has made typing in portrait mode quite difficult, and it's becoming very annoying.

Is my touchscreen digitizer failing, or is it possible there's some sensitivity adjustment I can make? Is it possible it's related to static or something and I can use a cleaning solution or something to correct it?

I really want to avoid paying a lot to fix this issue. I've already seen places where I can buy a replacement digitizer if that is needed, but it's not cheap. I'm really hoping this phone will hold out a lot longer than it is right now as it's been an otherwise good phone.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klabit87:
You may want to try recalibrating your screen.

Go to Settings > Language & keyboard > Touch Input > Text input > Calibration tool.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] andybones:
i think this only calibrates the keyboard. there is an .apk around somewhere that will calibrate the touch screen, some roms have it built into the settings.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] klabit87:
oh ok. gotcha. Makes sense
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I'll see what I can find.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] knipp21:
If not just unroot and send it to vzw
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Well, I'm not having much hope with calibration apps. This looks like a very device specific thing, which is understandable. Besides, it doesn't really feel like a calibration issue. When it's not going haywire, touch accuracy seems fine.

I'm not really keen on going for a replacement. Besides, my physical modifications (antenna improvement, improved access to power button, etc) may prevent that ;)

If I can't find a cheap/free solution, I'll just jump on replacing the digitizer. This is not a task that bothers me, was just hoping someone came across this issue and found a better solution.

Harbor Freight has the hot air blower for $12.00.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
This may be a dumb question but i didn't see you mention it. Did you try a factory reset? Perhaps you have an app or something conflicting with screen response somewhere in there.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mastamoon:
I seem to have dead spots once in a while on my touchscreen. Doesnt really effect day to day usage but can be annoying when trying to click something. Like a link on a webpage, sometimes I will have to scroll up or down to move the link before Im able to click it.. spot seems to be centrally located but has happened in a few places.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Not a dumb question at all. I did not mention it, and it's completely valid. However, I have gone through a couple of full resets since the issue started, and the behavior has persisted.

In fact, I have tried a couple of different firmwares in the time it has started. I had thought maybe a build of CM7 might have caused it, but the ICS builds have the same behavior, as well as a couple other firmwares that I don't remember the name of offhand.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
Can you elaborate?
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
For me, it's not an issue with dead spots. For one thing, the issue is intermittent and in varying degrees of severity. Usually when it happens it's just something at the bottom activates and I can cancel it out and carry on with my session. Occasionally, though, it just goes haywire, as though a palm is resting on it or something is touching random places rapidly.

So far I've been able to kill the haywire behavior by locking the display, wiping it down a bit, unlocking the display, then continuing on. I haven't had to take any more drastic measures than that. It's still annoying in that it can happen while typing a message and I have to go back and clean up the mess it leaves, or it might monkey around with an app.

It seems as though there might be some static buildup or something because it seems worst shortly after taking it out of my pocket. If that's the case, I wonder if I can ground it out, or do something to dissipate it.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] MJL99:
Sorry i didn't notice you mention it anywhere. Fwiw i get lockscreen issues kinda like you describe. i use the slide lock on cm7 and when i go to slide right to unlock, before it gets to the dot the lock releases without me lifting my finger. I know i don't have a dead spot because it only does it on the lockscreen and relocking and waking the screen fixes it. Only happens on cm7 and why i thought it might be an issue like that.

If you need to replace the screen/digitizer you will need to heat up the glue to remove the screen. Normally a heat gun is recommended
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] ghostt021:
Bro I just went thru the same thing same week. And I've tried all the suggestion here, in the end it was the digitizer. I call Verizon and explain the problem and they are sending me another Dinc2. It sucks cause now you have to unroot and restore (s on) (which for me was a bit of a *****) to send the phone back , but trust me at some point the entire bottom part of your screen will not respond to touch.. You'll only be able the answer calls from the lock screen and to hang up you'll have to do so thru the pulldown bar. And the biggest problem will be you won't be able to access your key pad. Sorry bro but thoses are the facts....I'm waiting for the replacement as I type this.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
It's not held in with a normal ribbon cable lock? It would be strange if they used a glue. I've been inside many of these devices in the past going back some 10 years (including at a repair center) and didn't face glued ribbon cables (either solder or ribbon cable lock).
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] mihneagabriel:
They are held in with a ribbon cable lock but the screen and digitizer are glued onto the phone itself, like the metal part that holds all the parts
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
So I wasn't able to find a software solution. Not sure what's causing it, but it's causing some unwanted issues (hang up call and it immediately calls someone else based on a false touch). I ordered the parts I need and will report if this fixes my problems.
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] cac2us:
Where did you order from, how much did you pay?

Be sure to watch both of those vids on utube.

I live where the relative humidity is around 15% most of the time.

Still I notice that when I pull my phone out of my pocket, it has moisture all over the back where it was pressing against my leg.

I found putting it in a soft cover pouch keeps most of that under control.

Just for the heck of it , try putting the phone in a jar of un cooked rice for a few hrs.

Battery and cards removed, jar sealed tight.

If you have another phone to transfer your calls to that would be better.

If you are like me and your skin oil transfers to your phone allot, use a fine tooth brush around the area where the screen meets the housing.

Avoid pushing any debris further into the unit. Use brisk outward strokes.

If none of that produces any favorable results, look for a hot air gun or a blow dryer.

Keep us updated...:)
[Verizon Droid Incredible 2] nimdae:
I've worked in microelectronics in the past and know quite a bit about moisture control, static control, etc. I had to help manage a sizable clean room at one point.

Unfortunately it's possible that my digitizer is just flawed and the flaws are just now coming out. I don't think it's moisture, but rather most likely electrostatic. I live in a rather dry place.

I normally would not use a screen protector, but I might consider it now as it might add an extra layer of insulation from static in my pocket.

The digitizer I found was from a seller on Amazon. For all of the parts needed (I don't have the tools for properly working on this device), including the small double sided tape, I spent around $32.

The double sided tape comes in a big roll so if anyone else needs to do this kind of repair, I will ship the remaining tape for the cost of shipping (this should save you about $5).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Nexus S performs better on games. I think that's not hard. Lets help me to do this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lukiqq:
? There is nothing to port. We are able to replace whole framebuffer drivers and PVR drivers in kernel and .so GPU driver libraries in the ROM and we gain nothing. I've tested this :-) Nexus S doesn't perform better in graphics, in synth. benchmark like Quadrant Nexus has more points on FS because of Yaffs file system and MTD. Nothing to fight for :-)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] burakgon:
Wow how you did it? I couldn't find so files. I downloaded a full nexus s rom.

Nexus S performs better FPS. Our FPS was better on froyo like nexus. I want to try this much. High end games are smooth on froyo because of this.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Lukiqq:
Look into the vendor directory directly in /system, not in /system/lib/egl and you will find .so drivers, but believe me, I've tried :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmith227:
Not sure if anyone can help me with this, but I figured I would give it a shot. I have the Onkyo Remote App that works if I use any ROM that isn't based on Sense. As soon as I use a Sense based ROM the app will no longer find the AVR. I use the Onktroller app and it works with any of them so I don't think its a conflicting port. The main difference between the two apps is that the Onktroller app allows you to specify the IP address. The Onkyo Remote app does a scan of the network. Any thoughts on what this could be?

[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Thought I'd try to start a general Telus thread since there's stuff spread all over the place. Hope that's OK mods.

I bought my Telus Amaze on the second day out. Haven't tried to unlock the bootloader until now. Went through the HTCdev method and it failed. After submitting the hex code the dev site indicated it failed. No error code. Is there a solution?
[HTC Amaze 4G] tombeach22:
I had trouble with the hexcode aswell, but I believe I just kept trying and it worked its self out, the htcdev website was being a dink half the time. I'm pretty sure there are other methods to unlock it

This is how I did it http://www.techzek.com/unlock-htc-amaze-4g%e2%80%99s-boot-loader/
[HTC Amaze 4G] Trevorhimself:
Unlock support for the Telus Amaze had been removed several weeks ago. There has been many request made to HTC for assistance. Last I seen on their Facebook page is that they are "working on it" ...no eta.

I've had the phone since day one and only decided to do the htcdev unlock after It had been removed.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
Yeah, tried to unlock several times now and no go. I don't understand why they would remove support for Telus when adding support for tmobile. It sucks. I can't help but wonder if Telus has something to do with it. Didn't HTC promise to unlock all future bootloaders? It makes no sense to allow it for one carrier but not another.
[HTC Amaze 4G] edyts:
wow im glad i unlocked mine the first day i got it, this beastmod rom is awesome.
[HTC Amaze 4G] marleyfan61:
So, I called HTC Canada to ask about unlocking the bootloader. I explained that I had attempted to unlock and it had failed. She said, "It should work, hold the line a minute." She then came back on and said I don't see the Telus model listed under supported devices. I pointed out that prior to the tmobile being added the telus version could be unlocked, but now it can't. She had nothing to say. I asked if HTC is working on adding it. Her response was, "All I can do is refer you to the htcdev website." Basically, she knew nothing and was totally useless. She implied that all I can do is wait and hope. While I love the phone, I'm now regretting buying it due to lack of support from htc.

So unless things change, there's no way I'll ever have ICS on my phone since I know from experience that Telus never has any interest in updating their phones.
[HTC Amaze 4G] Maelfus:
I've gotten a call from HTC support and received the same canned answers as well as direction to get in touch with Telus' support system.

I basically told the lady that their support staff isn't going to be able to tell me any more than she could and that I would really appreciate it if she could pass my request on to her supervisor and from there on the development side of things so I could get a solid answer as to wether or not this is a software related issue, or a "Telus has told us not to unlock their phones" issue.

If its the latter I can call them and start up a storm of curses and complaints, but until I do get a solid answer, I'll have telus and htc sending me back and forth to each others support lines.

Clearly somebody doesn't know what their talking about. Nothing will appear on Telus' website since it isn't software we are asking about. What a bunch of idiots.

This is typical. Htc says it's Telus' fault, Telus says it's htc's fault. In the meantime customers of both companies get ****ed.
