[Captivate General] Temetka:
I agree.

While I have only had mine for about a year now it has been great.

Last week it got totally soaked on Splash Mountain at Disneyland when I took my wife and kids. I credit the body glove case and screen protector as well as just plain old good design. As soon as I got off the ride, I popped the case and battery cover. There was not one drop of water in the case interior. The phone has been running just fine.

I have dropped it, tossed it, sat on it. It's been a trooper.

Whenever I pop it out of it's case I am still amazed by how thin it is.

I finally worked up the nerve to replace the ROM. I had previously rooted it, then upgraded to GB through Kies and had that damned tethering process close error that a lot of people had. So I figured now is a good time as any. Spent a few days doing some research on the various ROM's available.

I chose Andromeda. It appears to be very stable and user friendly. I have previously rooted and borked over my nook color and tablet many times. I fairly comfy with the processes involved. I did have a snag I ran into, but I was able to work around it. So my phone is now fully ROM'd and running super great. I did make a full backup in case I wanted go back to stock, but that's not gonna happen. This will be kept with my other favorite phones: Droid Razr V1, Samsung BlackJack II. Man that phone was awesome for me.

This captivate phone though while outdated in terms of the phones available right this second is still great. Fast CPU, good amount of RAM, fast GPU, excellent screen. I love it. Once again Samsung impresses me. I love their products.
[Captivate General] cversion7:
I've had one for only a year so far. Bought it used, flashed it a bunch, bricked it, jig'd it, flashed it some more. Gave it to my son, gave it to my wife and it will soon go back to my son for another year of use. The biggest gripe any of us has had with it is the lack of a flash for the camera... and the occasional lockup, but a battery pull and it's all good.
[Captivate General] Blackcrx:
can't complain either. i came from an iphone 4 cuz i wanted to try an android and how to flash roms and kernels before making a huge commitment to a more expensive model.

I have to admit, this 2-3 year old phone is pretty snappy running slin ics.

can't wait to sell my iphone 4 and look for a newer device, but then again, this captivate does everything i need already. haha
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biggyhead:
like if sony release updates, im not talkinga bout apps i mean official updates for xperia play x800? its rooted but i wanna make sure if i can or not dont' wanna cause a brick
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jacklebott:
Rooting won't affect updating whatsoever, unless you delete system apps. You may lose root after updating, however.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] savage24x:
As long as your bootloader is locked, you're fine.
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maddog00:
If system apps are deleted/frozen, what will the update do? Or will I not get the update?
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maccboy2010:
I want to no the same thing iv just rooted and deleted the crappy FIFA 10 game that came with my phone will that affect updating when ics comes?? When I deleted it it said remove system app :-(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cippi21:
No u should be fine Is just a game
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] GoldenRazz:
I deleted the crap apps like FIFA 10 or Office Suite or whatever, too.

And I froze Google Maps and other apps. Then I updated with PC Companion (I also had root on my play), and then the root disappeared and all the deleted apps were on my phone again. I don't have a brick now, it works fine, but I can't root it now :(
[Xperia Play Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheCraig:
.62 firmware patches the Update, the only way to root now I believe is to unlock your bootloader, and updating via PC Companion is like flashing new firmware with Flash Tool, I've stuck to .42, I don't want to unlock my bootloader atm, I have once to test out an ICS rom, but in general I'm waiting for the official update to come out, You can flash .42 using Flashtool, I have absolutely no benefit updating to .62.
[HTC EVO 3D] Deadly Sto(R)m:
Hi,

I just wonder if it is possible to port face unlock feature to evo 3d? Maybe developers can do it after ICS officially released. I have no idea what galaxy nexus has more than an evo?

PS. this can be a dream or maybe dreams can be true :rolleyes:
[HTC EVO 3D] thizzlemania91:
There's apps like this on the market
[HTC EVO 3D] Deadly Sto(R)m:
are they easy to use? i mean if they really do the same thing like galaxy nexus. and what about battery drain? last of all, do you know any app which can do its job clearly?
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
Visidon app lock works really well. Free version only locks apps, paid locks whole phone. No extra battery drain that I notice.
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr nerd:
do the research your self just search voidlock or something like that...and after your done post what you find... =))
[HTC EVO 3D] Deadly Sto(R)m:
thank you for this useful app ;)
[HTC EVO 3D] Mr nerd:
yeah thats what i meant sorry visidon
[HTC EVO 3D] chlehqls:
Most likely, with the impending release of ICS, face unlock is a general feature of ICS that probably will be included with Sense 3.6 OTA.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
Didn't HTC say facelock would be present?
[HTC EVO 3D] sajibcy:
well face unlock 1-2 days is fun after useless. i had on my galaxy i9000 from samsung (leak firmware). i hardly use it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
it looks more annoying than fun imo

saw some people at work playing with it on a galaxy s and a sensation

had to be in the right light - and repeated attempts to get a lock...

good idea - but as said - fun for a couple of days.

photos also are a bit of a flaw... maybe they should make you do several movements instead and recognize that.. but again probably more annoying as you may keep getting it _slightly_ wrong
[HTC EVO 3D] unCoRrUpTeD:
Bad lighting will render it useless. And it takes more time to unlock.
[HTC EVO 3D] gk1984:
I've had good luck with Visidon.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
Im with this.

Google pushing faceunlock so hard, and the truth is its almost useless.

This is almost the same thing Apple did with Siri and we all ridiculed them horribly.
[HTC EVO 3D] laie1472:
Wth ??? Sup corrupt man ?? Hope all is good with ya.

#Root-Hack_Mod*Always\
[HTC EVO 3D] jurrasstoil:
They should combine it with the normal pattern unlock. So if the light is too low you can still unlock it with the pattern.
[HTC EVO 3D] meme405:
This is a solution, but the fact of the matter is that it takes me 1/2 a second to draw a pattern and its takes the camera at least 2 seconds to unlock the device. With that combination i would simply draw my pattern every time unless i was trying to show someone how the facial unlock works. And dont think im alone, cause i know most people who would use the facial lock feature are those who already have a password on their phone, and ive seen countless threads on how to get rid of the initial lockscreen in favour of only having the pattern screen. With the number of people who are lazy enough to not want to double swipe it leads me to believe hardly anyone would actually use the facial unlock unless it was flawless and faster...

To tell you the truth my pattern is a simple L from top corner to opposite bottom corner. And although simple and easy to draw, chances are nobody would ever guess it.
[HTC EVO 3D] Lothaen:
i thought if it failed it gave you a pin/pattern to unlock with anyway

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
I just switched to Rogers with an LTE plan and LTE SIM card, and my area is has complete LTE coverage but the best I am getting is HSPA+. Does the UCLA3 only enable LTE on the 700mhz band? If so, what is the best Rogers modem to use for LTE? Thanks! :)

Welcome back man!!! looks like you need to check on rulez:eek: again so you know where to post your questions!!!!:p:p:p

To answer your question just make nadroid and flash it if it does not have LTE then you can clear out and always go back to ur Nandroid!:eek:

There's really no need for that at all. That only makes it worse.

Whoops! Sorry.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 32dave:
I can't remember if this works on the ulca3 modem, but try dialing *#2263# rogers uses lte B4 1700/2100 try manually setting it to that and see if it works
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] scott14719:
Does the nandroid restore the baseband? I know a nandroid restores everyhting else but you might actually have to reflash the original radio that you were on before the UCLA3 version...not actually sure though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
This radio is the best for Rogers everything work great, lte as well and reception is great. At work where I only sometimes got connection at all, I have min two bars now, and internet works perfect. Thanks for makers and uploader
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] y2whisper:
i concur.

lte picks up where the rogers modem doesn't I go between that and the telus modem (which doesn't do LTE but has good hspa speeds) It also does a great job in just automatic mode selecting the right band for low signal areas.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] coolerbean:
Yep I use it on Rogers with LTE working.

Also, someone mentioned a fix where you dial *#2263# to change the baseband to LTE only.. which works, but I stopped getting incoming calls and couldn't make outgoing calls when I did that.. fyi. Maybe it was just my case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] 32dave:
No, i read somewhere only data works over LTE everything else is UMTS, I forgot about that
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] LeeC:
Not only data uses LTE network. When I used LTE data plan I got missing calls sometime (the call went directly into voice mail). Called rogers and the tech confirmed that calls work through LTE as well. If the signal of LTE is weak the call then bounces back into voice mail.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] :
i've been switching between LA3 and KJ7 modems past 2 weeks...signal seemed great on LA3, but i'm not convinced it's good for me....

Consistently past several tests I get 2-3Mb down and 0.5-0.8Mb up on LA3......and if I flash to KJ7 I get 2-14Mb down and 1-3Mb up.....flash back to LA3 and it changes back....and flash again to KJ7 and back to other numbers....

In my area, KJ7 actually seems to be better, and I've switched back for now. I'm mainly around HSPA, not LTE though...

It also seems to be giving me better battery life...albeit we're talking difference of maybe 30 minutes to 1 hour...this phone is a PIG when it comes to battery life
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
So I've been using this modem since yesterday and I haven't been able to pick up an LTE signal but maybe Rogers coverage map is incorrect? idk but the 3g signal has been great :)

The only problem I'm facing (which I'm not sure if it's caused by the modem or something else) is that I couldn't send a text message to anyone but myself cuz it would fail... but if that person sends me a text first, then I can start sending text messages back no problem...

I registered for Rogers One Number, does that have anything to do with it?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] number16:
UCLA3 radio works fine for me and I'm on Rogers network.

To check if your problems are radio dependent, why can't you just flash back to the Rogers radio? I believe it is on the same radio thread.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] SGS2X:
I tried that twice but when I check under Status it still shows the UCLA3 and not the one I flashed.

Also, I keep setting to to GSM/HSPA/LTE (Auto) mode but it keeps switching back to the one without LTE

EDIT - For some reason the APN settings were only for non-LTE access. Changed the apn to ltemobile.apn and now it works :)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] thatguyitsme:
Did you figure out why you couldn't write new modem over ucla3
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket SGH-I727] odeccacccp:
don't do that, just go to Settings/Wireless/Mobile Networks and change it there.

---------- Post added at 12:50 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Change the Apk to ltemobile.apk, will work fine

I am having a very annoying issue with my Galaxy Nexus. When I connect it to my PC, it recognizes the device, however, constantly connects and disconnects. The USB cord is not moving.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rauelius:
I've tried changing it from MTP to PTP and turning after switching between the two. I've tried two different roms, one based on 4.0.4 and 4.0.3. I've Tried several different USB cables, including the ones that came with my G2x and Nexus One. I've tried it in a USB 3.0 Port. I've tried using different kernals. Even when I get into recovery, windows still doesn't read somthing is attached. I've been transfering ROMS to it via dropbox. I don't think it's a rom issue as it should still show up in windows when in recovery. Also on those roms I made sure that they didn't have "USB Fast Charge" enabled, as I heard that can cause the issue I'm experience. Thinking it was an issue with CWM, I downgraded it, but still no USB. I'm stuck here. Any help is greatly appreciated.

The 1st posts pdf seems to be the most logical solution, we just need the phoneutil code for the galaxy nexus.

Before I had the problem with the charging icon it started just like your problem...seems to be a problem with the usb plug....only solution is to send it to repair or exchange the phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] rauelius:
What annoys me is that when I got the phone it was already rooted and I didn't have a chance to try it stock or back up the original. It was rooted with an older version, so I flashed 4.0.4 on it. Check out the reviews on newegg I'm not alone in reporting a messed with Galaxy Nexus.

I found a fix for the issue

This was a very frustrating issue for me. I just purchased the phone yesturday to have an issue like was unacceptable. After hours of frustration, I found a solution. First off, download the offical driver pack from samsungs website. Once you have the pack installed, plug the phone back in. Once you have completed this, go under development and enable USB debugging. After the debugging, you should have a stable USB connection and wired tethering will work. I hope this helps you guys with your issue. It resolved mine. This was also done running Windows 8 beta.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TASL:
I've done a few google and XDA searches on this, and it appears that a few others have had a similar problem. Here is a YouTube video of someone with the same issue.

The phone is currently running ISCrewed 2.01 with Siyah 2.6.7. I am in the process of downloading the return to stock image from creepycrawl's thread to see if the issue is related to firmware/software. I just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this problem, and if so what solution, if any, worked for you.

A little bit about the problem, when the Camera app is opened - depending on the ambient lighting (I discovered the problem occurs more often in daylight or when the camera is pointed at a light source) - a vibration/humming starts from the rear facing camera. Depending on how I hold the phone or the strength of the ambient light, the humming gets worse or better. When I tap to focus the buzzing stops and will not return until the app is reopened, or the camera is switch to video and back or FFC and back. Additionally, when holding the camera up to a light source (I used a 60w bulb), there is banding in the light or the image rolls/vibrates.

Looks like a camera module can be purchased for $12-16 online, but then the question I have is whether there are different cameras for different revisions of the phone/firmware... and whether it is something I safely swap out myself. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Please let me know if I can provide more information and I will update the thread after I return the phone to stock.

ps, where can I find the diag codes to locate the firmware versions of the hardware in the phone? The i9100 codes don't work, only found *#9090# and *#1234# so far which don't give me the camera version.

[EDIT]

I returned to stock using CreepyCrawl's method and the problem with camera still exists. So I am thinking that it is a hardware issue.

Here is a picture showing the light banding:

[SECOND EDIT]

Still interested in finding out if anyone else had this problem, or found a solution.... but I will most likely be getting a warranty replacement.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] jdbeitz:
The only time my camera makes a sound is when it can't focus on a near object. It kinda buzzes or clicks, but only for about a second or so.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 33t:
I've occasionally had the buzzing issue. Also with the led.

Images Are fine though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] TASL:
Just an update, this problem was resolved through att warranty. They gave me a new reconditioned phone body. They said it was definitely mechanical, butt they personally had never seen it. Luckily it was bright enough outside to duplicate the issue.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] bookem11:
I occasionally get that buzzing sound also. It only happens when I initially open the camera app until i touch the screen to focus. Then the buzzing stops. If I reopen the camera app it buzzes again. For me, it seems to occur more often in darker settings.

Is this a common problem or just a couple bad phones?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] justinblaine23:
I get it randomly as well
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] foister82:
I am not 100% sure, but I do know that the lens moves around in the "barrel" or "eye" if you will. This is how it maintains focus. The mechanical part that forces the lens to move I believe is stuck... sometimes if you tap the camera the buzz will stop.

And I am no developer so take this with a grain of salt, but i remember that some flashlight mods or apps actually activate the camera and though it's not recording the camera will still attempt to maintain focus (due to being "on"). This would explain the buzzing when using the LED light outside of the camera app.

I don’t claim to know anything really... someone with more expertise feel free to lynch me :P
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] mattgyver:
I can tell you that your problem might actually be the speaker. I only know because I had this EXACT issue, and I sent my phone to a samsung service center for warranty repair. They ended up replacing the speaker, and no more buzzing.

I am having the exact same problem.......... Just started today out in the bright light... The moment I tap the screen, it stops. I'm rooted and running a custom kernal but have played around with the phone for a year without problem. So this is mechanical??? Time to call AT&T???

I am looking at guides on how to create roms using 'adb shell' for my Samsung Galaxy Player and I have noticed something. Also these guides aren't meant for my device specifically.

I am using instructions from this page....

http://www.freeyourandroid.com/guide/building_roms_for_odin

and this page...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1082288

Now on the "Free your Android" page they want me to use the commands...

dd if=/dev/block/bml7 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096

and for the XDA-Developers page they want me to use the commands...

dd if=/dev/block/stl10 of=/sdcard/factoryfs.rfs bs=4096
dd if=/dev/block/bml8 of=/sdcard/zImage bs=4096

Now I noticed that there are differences in the commands and therefore, how do I know if the dev/block/ folder structure used is correct for my device.

Is there a way to know the dev/block folder structure for my device? I am hoping I am making sense.
[Samsung Galaxy Player 4.0, 5.0] klin1344:
It depends which device you have;either the 4.0 or 5.0. For the 4.0 the factoryfs.rfs is on /dev/block/stl9 and zImage is on bml7.

The partitions are exactly the same as a galaxy s phone.
