[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Starskyy:
Hello, I could've swore I had an account here, but I guess not.

Let me start out by saying, I've searched but I still have a few questions,

Anyways, I've got a Captivate that I need to restore to stock to send in for repair. The USB port is dodgy. Sometimes it works, other times it doesn't.

Assuming I can get it to connect up, how long does ODIN need to be connected to my phone?, is it just long enough to transfer the file? Also, is there a point in using Master Clear? Can't the format and delete options in CWM accomplish the same thing?

Can anyone answer my help me out or point me to an alternative? If nothing else, I figure I can find a ROM and mount the SD card in my Inspire and use it to transfer the file.

I looked at the threads involving the HTC CDMA phones and it said to s-off and flash, but that doesn't really help me does it... I did stumble across this thread though,

Will flashing a CWM compatible stock Captivate ROM get rid of CWM?

-thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] studacris:
Flashing to stock takes about 3 minutes or so depending on a few factors.

I Wouldn't attempt an Odin flash with an iffy port.

There is a program called mobile Odin, that you can use if your phone is bootable.

Can't say that I've ever flashed to stock with a cwm zip, dunno. But if it contains a completely stock ROM, and stock kernel, it should replace cwm with stock 3e recovery...
[HTC EVO 3D] sitlet:
Sorry for the noob question. I am not a noob to rooting or flashing, but I am new to the 3d. I just got one sent to me from Asurion. It has hboot 1.40, which I know I can root with revolutionary, which I am going to do shortly. But the software is on 1.13.651.7, which I can see if the rom the phone originally shipped with.

So I am trying to find a stock rooted version of the latest update from a few days ago. I just spent a half hour trying to find it, and all I can find is unrooted versions of it, which will probably update my hboot to 1.5, which I dont want. So can y'all help me out and point me to the thread with the stock rooted zip of the latest update that I can flash WITHOUT updating my hboot?

[Galaxy 3 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max0702:
Hello :D

I've actually had this problem for a long time (6 months+) already. But never thought about a solution.. And when i thought about it now, i couldn't find one :p

The problem basically is that on random moments (usually when i restart the phone) it automatically disables a setting. This setting can be found here: Contacts -> Settings -> Display Options -> Choose contacts to display -> SIM -> All contacts.

I want that option to be 'ticked' at all times, ofcourse, because all my contacts are stored in my SIM-Card. I can manually 'temporarily' fix this problem by ticking the box and saving. But a restart (or a random moment) later it is unticked again..

Help? :confused:

[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Dimitris CH:
Have you ever wondered why the Galaxy SII’s and the Sensation’s displays, though both claim a 4,3” diagonal, do not look and feel to be equally sized?

The answer is the aspect ratio.

In the example above, the Galaxy SII comes with a ratio while the Sensation comes with a fully wide screen.

With the phone displays becoming bigger and bigger, I have a feeling that a lot of people would like to know what to expect from one of these new cool models. In this thread you can find the width of a screen in cm given its diagonal length and its aspect ratio.

And while from the latest device announcements it’s obvious that we are moving to an all-wide world, this is still not always the case, thus it can be useful to know where each phone stands in terms of display width (which can help you determine if a screen is too narrow or too wide for your fingers to comfortably type).

The following chart is trying to summarize the most usual screen ratios and includes the resolutions that have been used (at least to my knowledge, if I’m missing something thanks in advance for letting me know).

For each combination of ratio and diagonal length, you get the screen width and a few devices with such a screen.

This chart explains for instance why the iPhones, though featuring only 3,5” displays actually offer enough space for most people to comfortably type, while phones like the ZTE Blade or the SonyEricsson Experia Neo V do not offer as much space (though they feature a 3,5” or 3,7” display respectively, it is too wide resulting in limited width).

As far as it concerns me, I find the new 4,65" phones too wide for my taste. I type perfectly fine with my Optimus 2X, though I would probably prefer a screen like the HTC Sensation's one (slightly wider and a lot longer).

But adding almost half a cm of width would mean that when typing with one hand I won't be able to reach the far side of the virtual keyboard on portrait mode.... Thus it would be a problem.

What do you think?
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Real Madrid C.F:
Can u Xplain to me what exactly Aspect Ratio is? I just Cant understand why Desire HD Screen is wider and bigger than Sensations one...thx
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Dimitris CH:
It's not really a screen size that you see in new devices today, but I'll do it if I remember over the weekend. :p

Wider yes, bigger no (you have to define bigger first).

They both have a diagonal length of 4,3", which means that the distance from any corner to its opposite is the same.

The difference is that in the case of the HD, the width has increased in the expense of the length. In other words, one dimension got a bit bigger, the other one got a bit smaller, so at the end, the distance between to opposite corners remained the same.
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Crossrocker:
I think 4 inch more long/less wide phone is the perfect size

[XDA-developer encyclopedia] zehel7:
I have a Nokia C7 and an iPhone 4S

both have 3.5" screen but different aspect ratio

C7 will drive you nuts because of the keyboard if you have a gigantic

fingers like me you will lose your mind typing

but it is an eyecandy when you watch movies because of its 16:9 ratio

I also have HTC Sensation XE though its best for watching movies as well

I prefer the iPhone for typing its keyboard is well spaced :)
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] LordManhattan:
I have to Galaxy Note (Int.version) so 5.3" is my size. It's the perfect size for me, and i can't go back to 4.3 or smaller again. No sir. So i'll have to wait for the Note 2 when it's time for an upgrade.
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] iAmBalvinder:
I possess both an HTC sensation which featured a 4.3 inch less wide and more long display.

It feels good to be in hand, while watching movies and viseos . Typing becomes an issue but as you get used to it, it becomes so smooth that you might not even see swype.

On the other hand I have a Samsung galaxy sl which is similar to Samsung galaxy S. 4 inch super display. Typing is more easy for newbies on non- widescreen display as this. Even watching movies is OK,but sensation or Galaxy S3 and htc one X is obviously best for watching videos and HD gaming.

[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Keion:
Best not forget the galaxy note with its 1280x800 5.3 inch display. Personally, I prefer 8:5 ratios with screen sizes as big as possible. 1920x1200 is the max for a tablet, 1280x800, max for a phone. Any higher and it's overkill and unneeded pixels. Those two resolutions are perfect for including a soft button set without having to resize standard videos in 1920x1080 and 1280x720.
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Taurenking:
i think a good dimension goes from 4.0 to 4.5 inches...for normal use and comfort/practice something bigger wont fit in my jeans xD

my fav would be 4.3 inches and 800x480
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Dimitris CH:
Well, the latest Motorolas prove that the bezel is the next frontier.

E.g.

My Optimus 2X has a 4" display at 15:9 ratio, so it is 5,23cm wide.

The Razr M has a 4,3" display at 16:10 ratio, so it is 5,35cm wide.

But the Optimus 2X itself is 6,32cm wide while the Razr M is 6,09 cm wide.

With such a bezel I would consider a 4,5" phone (at 16:10 of course) because it could be slightly more wide than my Optimus 2X, while giving me so much more useful space!

Come on, 480x800 (or any 15:10 ratio) is lame.

You need to be 16:10 nowadays. Even Apple had to admit defeat on this. :p
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] howard bamber:
Disagree. I much prefer my note ratio for web pages, Kindle etc. 16:10is only better for video and I do a lot more than watch films on my phone.

From box 13......
[XDA-developer encyclopedia] Dimitris CH:
In a sense I agree, but especially with the new huge phones (this thread is a bit dated), I think that more than ever, a 16:9 ratio (e.g. 1280x720) is ideal.

For instance the Nexus 4 would be way easier to use with one hand if it had this resolution instead of 1280x768 (15:9).

But in general, what I've written here is quite dated, coming from a time when 4,5" was considered as huge as possible.

Companies have managed to reduce the bezel around the screen, and save space from there. So the Nexus 4 is less wide overall than the Galaxy SIII, although the Galaxy SIII's screen is less wide than the Nexus 4's screen.

What is still valid: the Galaxy SIII would be even less usable with a 1280x768 resolution, while the Nexus 4 would be more usable with a 1280x720 resolution.
