Zero! 10.08 build purchased ~10.10.10 :D Flashed about 1000x, currently running ICS and doing GREAT. This phone is truly a BEAST!
[Captivate General] kimocal:
Already replaced the USB connector. Those contacts are frickin tiny. Nope it's the mobo :(
[Captivate General] onry:
never i've had mine since just before christmas last year. still goin strong :)
[Captivate General] rsx19:
never had any problem, flash it like 2 times a week most of the time more then that
[Captivate General] grndnl:
only once, because I ****ed it up...
[Captivate General] uhavinalaugh:
Zero times. I think I have a 1007 build, bought the phone on july 28 2010.

Only issues I've had with the phone are GPS related and that isn't a big deal to me.

[Captivate General] docflower:
On my 5th crappy now.
[Captivate General] Cor-master:
Twice, first for the infamous speaker problem, second time for a broken power button. First build was 1008, second one 1010, current one is 1108, and its been bullet proof so far. All and all in the cheap manufacturing era, I think the Captivate holds together pretty well. This problems could happen on any phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adry1988:
i have a htc desire running runnymede aio v4.0 and is probably the one of most stable versions that i have tested so far. beats audio is fully working and the whole rom seems to run smooth.

i was wondering if it can be ported to hd2 as i would like to keep using this phone.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Maxp101:
Simple: YES.

It's possible, just ask some dev, if he can do it.

Would help if you could convince some people here to want it.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adry1988:
thanks

thanks for the information.

i will try ask one of the devs or i will try something out.

Hi,

quick question ,is it possible to flash system ext4 img using flash_image in normal mode?
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] prodigy702:
Is there a way to root the SGS2 using a Mac? Is there Odin software for Mac? My phone is rooted using the Odin method with windows, but the only PC I used is finally dead and I only have a Mac. I wanted to flash the new modem

(KLI) and see if there is any performance benefits. Thanks!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnn:
There doesn't appear to be a version of the Odin program that runs on anything other than Windows. One option for you would be to run Odin in a Windows VM of some kind. In researching this on the internet, I read various posts that stated;

1) Odin flashing won't work from within a VM

2) Odin flashing will work from within a VM as long as it's VMWare

3) Odin flashing will work from within a VM as long as you install the latest Windows USB drivers from Samsung in your VM.

I was able to root my T-Mobile Galaxy S II T989 UVKL1 using Odin3 1.8.5 inside a Windows 7 64bit Pro Guest VirtualBox 4.1.8 VM running on my x86_64 Funtoo Linux laptop. I first installed both the latest Windows USB drivers, as well as the latest Kies from the Samsung download page here.

I also downloaded Odin3 1.8.5 and the recovery-cmw-hercules.tar from the Galaxy2Root website here, although Odin3 can be downloaded from here as well, and I think that the recovery-cmw-hercules.tar officially resides here. Additionally I couldn't get the recovery.tar linked in the xdadevelopers forum thread here to work with my setup for some reason, but as I said, the recovery-cmw-hercules.tar worked fine. Finally in addition to the linked xdadevelopers forum thread, I also used the instructions from the Rootzwiki HOWTO here.

Good Luck..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Wilsonium:
Odin does work with a Parallels Desktop VM. I use it all the time with Parallels Desktop running Windows Vista. There is also Heimdall which does run natively on the Mac but I've not used it yet so can't speak to it specifically.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] jasnn:
I actually tried Heimdall, (the home page is here), but unfortunately it can't communicate correctly with the phone yet. Hopefully it's something that will be added to a post 1.3.1 version.

Thanks..
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] kaleom:
Just do what I did, and download windows 7 on my macbook pro. When restarting the computer I can choose wether to run windows or mac and it seperates my hard drive between the 2. There's other ways to do it, just search it on youtube and they'll explain everything there.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
Help please, this is the second time I faced this problem. The first time I faced this, I did a complete data wipe and reinstalled everything again from fresh. The problem is after using link2sd for some time, it comes to a time that link2sd is not able to link any more apps even though my 2nd partition has 300mb+ free space. An example of error:

create_link.com.dj.golocker.theme.icecream:cannot create /data/sdext2/dalvik-cache/data@app@com.dj.golocker.theme.icecream-1.apk@classes.dex: read-only file system

Similar errors occur for any further apps I try to install, it's like link2sd has reached it's limit of linking apps. However the apps that are already linked are all working fine, just can't link any apps any further. I don't want to do another data wipe and reinstall all my apps again..it's so tiring.. Please help anyone?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Try using root explorer to navigate to the directory and manually mount it as r/w.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
Can you explain more? I'm not really familiar with mounting using root explorer, but I do have root explorer.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
I tried going to data/sdext2 and try clicking on Mount R/W on the top but nothing happens, it supposed to change to R/O right? It remains Mount R/W
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
No. Leave it as r/w. Try re-booting, check what it is mounted as (if it's r/w, leave it. If it is r/o, try changing it) then try linking again.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
What I meant is, it's r/o as default, but when I click on mount as r/w, it doesn't change. it remains as r/o :(
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theonew:
Mine changes perfectly. Do you have the latest Superuser app and binary installed?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
I'll try that, thanks for responding to my problem :) I'll let you know if it fixes the problem
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leviathian:
I have updated superuser binary and the problem still persists. I guess I might just do a data wipe and reinstall everything again.

[HTC EVO 3D] rocktock37:
hey guyz..m new on android ..juz bought evo 3d after my nokia n8..so i dont understand much about ROM etc..plz tell me wat s ROM and how can i put custom ROM in my mobile..and risks involved in dis process.. i bought dis mobile for 40000 indian rupees, which s very costly for we indians..o thanks :)
[HTC EVO 3D] vowywowy:
HOOOO boy, what a question! Well to get started you asked what a ROM is and basically what a ROM is, is a modified version of AOSP(google search this) which can include but is not limited to, customized kernels(for battery and CPU optimization), and apps that can greatly increase your phones responsiveness and overall create a better experience for you, all in all its a modified version of your phones android software that makes you phone seem more powerful! Secondly you asked how to put custom ROMs onto your phone, this can be a pain painstakingly tough process or a very simple, headache free process. There are very many in depth guides on how to do this, but I will give a quick run down on how I got it to work. So first I rooted my EVO 3D which is basically preparing your phone for custom ROMs and Kernels, this can easily be done by using the HTC Supertool v2(do a search to find it). Then once you have rooted it, it is time to attempt for S-Off. This can be a little tricky but I'm sure you can do it. You can try do attempt S-Off through the supertool but that didn't work for me, so what you need to do is go to revolutionary.io and follow their simple instructions to get S-Off, once you have completed that they will ask you if you want to get a thing called ClockWorkMod. This is called a custom recovery and it is the basis from which you will flash a custom ROM, so install that and then we can move on. Next you want to locate a ROM, I recommend LeeDrOiD's ROM because it is very stable and has a lot to offer. Once you have that downloaded place it onto your phones SD card and boot into your phones CWM recovery(search on how to do that), and flash the custom ROM following the on screen instructions on your phone. Now you wait for it to install and then select reboot from the main menu of CWM and WAIT. Your phone will take a long time to reboot the first time so don't worry. Once it starts up you are all done :). Of course there are risks to this procedure such as bricking the phone or boot looping the phone which i will explain but I have never had that problem. Bricking is when the phone becomes completely useless, and is a result of interrupting flashing or installation of a custom ROM or custom recovery such as CWM. Boot looping is when the phone repeatedly plays the boot animation without ever advancing to the next screen this can also be a result of interrupting a custom ROM's flash or it can happen from a bad kernel or interrupted kernel installation. These however can be easily fixed by booting into a custom recovery and flash a backup or a entirely new ROM. Most ROMs will not delete your data but in case they do it is a good idea to make a backup. I hope this help feel free to send a thanks this way :) good luck with your phone!
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Crowder:
Here's the deal: my S2 keeps disabling its WiFi connection. I’ll be connected to my router for a while, sometimes for 12+ hours at time, when all the sudden my S2 will lose its WiFi connection and switch to 4G. When I go into my WiFi settings, it will say that my router is “Not in range” and show no other available networks (even though there are dozens in this area).

I can sometimes get my connection back by toggling Airplane mode or “use packet data” on/off. But nothing works %100 percent of the time. I don’t think it’s a router issue either because we had 4 smartphones in this house over Christmas and the only two that lost their WiFi connection were my and my wife’s S2s.

Anyone else encounter this?

(p.s. Phone is stock, by the way.)
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] sarni84:
If you have the Tmobile my account disable or uninstall it.I made a thread about this awhile back. It has something where it needs to stay connected to 4g or intermittently puts data on and cuts wifi off I used to have this problem before not no more after uninstalling it.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Crowder:
Thanks, sarni. I read your thread a couple days ago (when I was trying to figure out what was going on), but I'm not sure we're having the same issue. My WiFi and 4G icons aren't on at the same time, for instance.

The other problem is that I haven't rooted my phone, so uninstalling T-Mobile's "My Account" app isn't an option.

Yet.
[T-Mobile Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-T989] Crowder:
Happening again now.

Phone seems to be stuck in the following loop: scanning for available WiFi networks, seeing them all, locking in on my WiFi network, trying to obtain an IP address, then back to scanning again without a connection.

No toggling of settings broke the loop until I powered on/off.

Just got this battery today ordered it from fleebay few weeks ago, guna see how it goes, 1 thing is do you think the mAh is right was only £5 plus pnp so no big loss if its not better than the stock which I'm getting about 12 hours out of with moderate use

*Looks* like it may hold about as much as an Anker.

If it fits under the stock back cover............

There's no way that's a 2800mah battery. Do a couple test and see what the deal is, but it is definitely somewhere around 1500-1800mah.

works really good i bought it over on ebay it does wat it says for real i get through the whole day without a prob with modrate use aday and couple of hours i had the package where i get 2 batt which really is a great deal for 15$ better way bettter then stock batt i recommend iit to all fellow xda and ppl that looking at this post to buy it but be sure it have 2 batt and wall charger its rally handy product rating from me 4.5 out 5

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robroy90:
Is anyone else here on 2.3.6 with their Note (Rooted and CWM Kernel also) having problems with Exchange email?

I use a hosted exchange provider for my email, and have seen this issue before with Samsung (and some HTC) devices where Exchange Activesync just doesn't seem to work. I had this issue before with an AT&T Galaxy Tab I had tried a different ROM on to enable the phone radio in the Tab. It would never sync email, but the stock ROM would.

I know the account was added to the Note correctly, because I didn't get any error messages during setup, and I also got the prompt to confirm the security configuration change (to allow remote wipe, etc). The device also shows up correctly in the mobile device listing in Outlook Web Access in my account.

Just wondered if anyone else had experienced this, and what you did to fix it? Not really interested in a 3rd-party mail client like Touchdown, etc. Would prefer to use native apps.

Thanks, please advise.
