[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
I tried to search but alas Tapatalk isn't very good at that.

I bought a Captivate via eBay. Before I press to return it, is there a fix or ROM that fixes the dreaded random shutoffs? I tried resets and the GB Serenity ROM but alas I'm still encountering it...rather frequently. Every hour or less it'll shut off. So, other than the battery draining Captivate Keep Alive app...is there a real solution?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Garyth:
barring anything physical with your phone .. I have not had any sleep deaths or random reboots since switching to Fusion-CM-ICS-beta. It used to be a chronic issue with my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
Thanks for the fast reply Garyth. I'll give it a go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrhaley30705:
I've heard the aosp roms seem to help the problem (this includes the ICS roms). They use different drivers than Samsung roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
So far, so good. Data is consistently faster as well. Thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
Hmm. Still getting random yet pervasive shut downs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
I believe this was a known hardware issue as well. There is a thread around somewhere will effected build numbers.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
I saw that thread and don't believe mine is in the range. I'll be calling the seller tomorrow anyway.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfmarque:
Not sure if you are in the same boat as me, since the IMEI of my phone does fall into that catergory of the "recalled" phones, but since it was out of warranty by the time I saw that post, they wouldn't exchange it at the store.

At any rate, here's what I've gone thru:

Back in the Froyo times, I "think" CM7 fixed the issue, but I was too fidgety at the time so I was always trying new roms so I don't remember 100% if that was true or not.

I read somewhere that this could be caused by the battery shifting around due to temp changes as it charge/discharges, and that you should put some electrical tape or whatever to make sure your batt. made good contact. Didn't work for me at all.

So finally what fixed the problem was Captivate Keep Alive app, it's in the market.

First I tried it with two ICS roms: ICSSGS and Fusion, with Platypus and IcyGlitch kernels. The app work fine with a setting of 85%, but I was getting "charge death" as well, which I've never had before.

So now I've rolled back to KK4 (Serenity ROM) with the latest Corn kernel, and for some reason I have to set the app to 80% charge but works.

There'll be definitely an increase in battery drain, but for me it hasn't been that bad.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crt60:
I used to have that problem when I first got my cappy, had froyo KB1 on it, and it would randomly shut down. Eventually when I got into hacking the android, when I finally updated to newer bootloaders, the problem went away. Though I can't recommend flashing bootloaders, since you can hard brick your phone if unsuccessful. Just saying that's what seemed to solve the problem for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
Can anyone confirm this?

But what bootloader fix that to you?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dchawk81:
I tried Captivate Keep Alive. Even it didn't work. A replacement phone is on its way. The IMEI was actually affected, but I didn't realize at first because I only looked at the last digits. Apparently was a really early build. The seller photographed the new IMEI before shipping it out so I could verify.

[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] mcslamer:
I have this weird thing that just started today were the prime is connected to the charger and it won't say is its charging but it is very slowly and led won't turn on. Anyone else with the same problem?

Any solutions?
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] jfranco328:
I have two primes, one grey which is mine and one champagne that I purchased for my girlfriend. I started having the same problem as you with my charging kit. The prime is supposed to show that it is charging when you look at the battery status on the notification bar or when viewing the battery status in the os. It turns out I have a bad cable. I confirmed this buy switching the the cable but not the power adapter. I am looking for an after markert power cable that hopefully will be constructed better. In the meantime I will call Asus to see if they will cover a replacement. If you say yours is slowy charging I think the your problem may be with the power adapter. Unless it a more serious issue like the battery connector or the battery itself which would require you to send it in for repair...
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
I had the same problem that started yesterday after the update (coincidence??). It took several hours to charge where I couldn't use it. No notification that it is charging either. Turns out my problem is the cable as well because I tested my prime with my friend TF101 cable and I hear the ding when it connects and it charges. Going to contact Asus support to see if they will send a replacement. You can buy one at Office Depot for $29 though.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] unknown_owner:
Spoke to Asus support and I'm suppose to send back the cable for them to look at and then they would send me a replacement. Looks like the prime may be unusable for a while now. Anyway going to have to charge mine with my friend's charger til mine comes back.
[Asus  Eee Pad Transformer Prime] Shadowlore:
Just be thankful they didn't tell you to send the entire device back... as much as I love ASUS's gear, they really have some bad tech support at times.

Had a laptop, with a bad power brick.. verified by using another power brick without problem.. and they made me send EVERYTHING back.. was without a laptop for almost 6 weeks while the idiots at their Jeffersonville, IN repair facility damaged the laptop even more... eventually one of their customer reps saw my endless ranting and squared it all away...

ASUS has always been good at fixing issues in the long run, but the short run they still have a few reps that can't think for themselves, and 'stick to the script'. I'm glad to see Gary is hanging out over here to address issues on XDA. :) Least they're on top of things with regards to this.

Help please.. I was told that my phone has been sending sms messages to my friends on my contacts list. Without me knowing it, of course. What causes this? Any help would be appreciated.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
You have obviously installed some app that has permissions to do this. Go though the most recent installs, and uninstall any that have the rights to send messages and see contact information.

Look at the sms's sent and see if there is any clue there, too.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokenong:
ok thanks for the quick reply.. But how about some apps, that came already installed on the phone, I cant remove them.. Also some social apps, like the facebook and yahoo messenger.. They have this permissions, is there any way to unable the said permission? thanks!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Yes, I had this. For some reason the texts were marked as unsent, probably because I have bad cell coverage at home. On a reboot they were all resent, regardless of if they had been sent.

I started using GO SMS and I have not had the problem. I also updated my kernel, but I cannot imagine that was the issue.

I also rooted the phone and killed off the bloatware. Perhaps it was the social hub, which I have now disabled.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gokenong:
could it be the "sms popup" that i installed? I installed it for me to be able to reply much easier to person texting em. Its like a pop up where you can already see the message and reply at once..

I looked at the GO SMS, I saw that it also has a reminder that it allows the phone to send text messages on its own.

Whats the best messga widget do you guys use? Thanks!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromepearce:
Not impossible. I think I did use that to, but the GO SMS has a popup of its own which seems better.

There is also a GO SMS widget that works quite well, I find. I prefer the popup and an unread message count shortcut.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miwashi:
I'm very impressed by the video capability of the note. Just tried out shooting at an event and the frame rate and sharpness was really good. However I want to improve it further as these are the problems I encountered.

1. Stability - definitely needs a stabilizer. Do those ebay phone brackets that have a tripod mount fit the Note? If they do I can screw in a monopod whose weight can act as the stabilizer. It'd be great if this mount had a hotshoe for an audio recorder too.

2. Exposure control - in fancy lighting situations the camera automatically adjusts exposure, and I don't want this. I want to be able to set a exposure setting manually and leave it at that. In addition, the exposure settings only offer +/-1 and +/-2. Sometimes in bright situations we need more. Can we go beyond these settings? And once we start recording there's no way to change the exposure control on the fly, is there?

3. Lenses - those cheap iphone wideangle and tele lenses look good but do they fit the note? The lens housing is square rather than round like on these lenses.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] JulyDerek:
For a makeshift tripod try using one of those car suction holders. Works if you have a flat surface to stick it on.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] miwashi:
I'm also interested in knowing how to open mp4 files created with the note's camera app. I checked the file and it contains avc h264 video, but I cannot open it in virtualdub at all. I get 'file does not have a video stream' errors, but they play fine in media player, so I'm sure I have the right codecs.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PoisonWolf:
You want to make sure that your Note has a case for this suction cup as you do not even want to try and hook it to the battery cover out of fear that it might just peel right off.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Raiderman:
What program is everyone using to sync their note to there pc?

I cannot find anything on the phone itself for syncing?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] AKyupper:
Note sync

The AT&T Note comes with Kies air, which is a WI-FI sync. I also believe that this sync could be used remotely, but I don't know why you would want to so that. I used it just enough to see that it worked. Simple, but I don't have a use for it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Raiderman:
Hmm, thanks for the info.....did not know what that was for :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Raiderman:
This program is great for transferring files, but lacks a backup option.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Learic:
I guess it depends on what you are wanting to sync! Kies has alot of options. I currently use MyPhoneExplorer to do my backups and syncing contacts on my Skyrocket; which I will be testing out on my note as soon as it arrives!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] thinguy:
Kries is very quick and handy for most stuff. But also check out Doubletwist.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vais4me:
There is also a Kies version you can download to you PC/MAC to aid in sync'ing and does have backup and restore on it. I'll have to check out Doubletwist.

I just tested my 2008 Fusion with Sync. It worked fine with BT.

I had to push the AUX button on the front of the radio to get to BT audio, to allow it to stream to the car radio.

I use A OK Radio app to listen to music.

The sync voice did say something about going to Media Menu to setup streaming, but that was not required.

Ok, here is the deal, i've done research, and seems like nobody has really been able to provide a solution, so im gonna share where im up to, so maybe some can help to solve this. (Havent got to a solution yet)

So, latitude, places and navigation are all part of google maps, and thats why noone can see them listed as apps.

I used rom toolbox, and its advances freeze feature, to get "inside" the app, and see the individual services, recievers and others...

Using this feature, i also froze all services and things that seemed related to latitude, places, and navigation (long list, but basically everything that had a reference to them somewhere on the name or functionality (mini description under each of the modules name)

My results with doing these were the following:

Maps still worked, could get a hold of my location, and directions worked.

Latitude, places, and navigation app icons were gone from my app drawer.

So, all locked solved, but then, using android assistant to check running programs, guess what, latitude was still there!!!

So, what im asking is if someone knows which things exactly to freeze to make them stop working...i just want maps to work, but dont need all the other bloat.

Any opinions, solutions, suggestions are welcome

I did the following (it works either from an ordinary adb shell--no su required--or from a script or terminal emulator with su):

pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.googlenav.appwidget.friends.FriendsAppWidgetProvider
pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.maps.LatitudeActivity

The results killed all the Latitude-related stuff. I also feel that the first two lines may have decreased the length of time that NetworkLocationPassiveCollector showed up with a partial wakelock, but they didn't kill it completely. I think that adding

pm disable com.google.android.apps.maps/com.google.android.location.internal.server.NetworkLocationService

would kill it completely, and thus save battery, but this would have the unhappy side-effect of disabling WiFi-based location. If you are happy with just GPS-based location, you can do it.
