[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
Now I noticed something... when I turn the device on, appears the AT&T screen, that's fine, then JUST AFTER the AT&T logo, appears "Semaphore Kernel" .. and it looks FINE!.. then the screen tunrs off for a fraction of a second, and comes back, with the same Logo, but this time with the problem... so it seems SW issue.. is there any wat to wipe even the Screen driver?..

I restored to Dark Knight v4... and tried with Glitch kernel (didn't boot xD.. ) but I saw the same in the bootscreen.. it seems that something that is loaded DOURING the Kernel Screen is the issue...

I changed everyhing, yesterday I even wiped ALL the phone and restored it to 2.1 stock... and the same problem persisted...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Red_81:
Could you have gotten a bad screen? Since it persists through various custom ROMs and even at stock, I'm leaning towards bad hardware.

When my phone reboots from an error, I often get the same washed out animations until it finishes booting. Then everything is good again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] est_cap:
I thought this too... but then i realized something I wrote in my last post " when I turn the device on, appears the AT&T screen, that's fine, then JUST AFTER the AT&T logo, appears "Semaphore Kernel" .. and it looks FINE!.. then the screen tunrs off for a fraction of a second, and comes back, with the same Logo, but this time with the problem... so it seems SW issue.. is there any wat to wipe even the Screen driver?.." .. It's like it seems Ok, till loads the screen driver maybe? dunno

Arg.

So my otherwise adorable 1 year old somehow got his hands on my Captivate this weekend. When we finally caught him, he was chewing and slobbering on it pretty much right where the USB port is. After getting the phone back out of his grubby little hands, my wife and I took it completely apart and have had the whole works soaking in rice for a day or so.

When I put it back together, it booted just fine, and everything seems to be in working order. Except...when I plug a cable into the USB port, it doesn't charge, and it doesn't connect to my computer for storage mounting/flashing. This would be a bit of a problem.

I've checked for obstructions in the port itself and there don't seem to be any. I can get by for now without charging because my wife and I have the same phone (so we can periodically swap batteries...), but she's leaving town for two weeks at the end of this week. I really don't want to have to buy a new phone...so any ideas on fixing this would be greatly appreciated.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koizuma:
Once the USB port is gone its gone, you would need to get an external wall charger for it and a wifi file browser.

there might be some moister in it yet, but generally the captivates had issues with the USB port just flaking out like that. Its a common problem for this phone, and also has happened to mine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
Or you can just pay ~35$ to get it fixed, look in my sig. They are good!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Hmm...I didn't even realize that was an option. I'll be looking into that. Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
They fixed mine and it works great. I would also order a new cable from them for like 7 bucks. It is all well worth it!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Koizuma:
interesting, didnt know about that one either
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
Update:

It's apparently not *quite* as dead as I thought. It's still not recognizing my computer or telling me that it's charging...but apparently it is actually charging my battery. I plugged it into my computer just to see and left it. It never said that the phone is charging, but when I came back a few minutes later the battery meter had gone up, and it's still doing that fairly consistently.

That's at least good news for now. Even if the USB transfer is dead, I'm still OK as long as I can charge. As long as I don't have to use download mode...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b-eock:
That sounds like a bad cable, just buy one of those first, cheaper and easier to check!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gromlakh:
It's nothing to do with the cable. We have four USB cables and two different car chargers. It's the same thing with all of them, and they all work perfectly on my wife's phone.

My first Captivate had a USB port go bad.. I tried 10 different cables and decided for some reason it was a ROM issue and got into download mode.. well let's just say I was buying another Captivate the next day.. lol

I did resurrect it by buying a Captivate with a broken screen on Ebay cheap. Combined the two and it's actually a later production and the GPS works good compared to hardly at all before. M yold screen and new guts.. Now I have a spare phone to try new Roms on without messing up my daily driver.. (Dark Knight 4 atm)

I see broke screen Captivates for $40-80 on Ebay regularly..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garydv2002:
My wife also has a captivate with a dead USB port. So I went on amazon and searched for captivate batteries and external charger and found a package that came with 2 extended life batteries and the wall charger that charges one separatly from the phone while you use the other in the phine . Its made by Laza wireless and both batteries and charger was 15.99 and shipped free. Got it in two days and works great and was a whole lot cheaper than a phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradddo:
Sorry to resurrect such an old thread but, I have had the same problem for months also caused by a toddler sucking on the phone and cables. I swap batteries daily. stock/1800/2430 mah. I am curious if anyone knows of a wireless charging option. I know my wii batteries are inductive and it is just the new battery and charger on a stock remote. is there an inductive charger and battery available for cappy? is wireless charging dangerous to the phone if it wasnt designed with it in mind? for that matter is anything available for anyother phones besides the lumia 920 and maybe nexus I think?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laughingT:
cheapest, best option is to get the USB port repaired by mobiletechvideos.com, imho.

I know of no induction solution for captivate that works without a good usb port.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradddo:
I figured and also thought the Cappy wouldn't be a device supported by a new battery developer when there is so many newer ones out.

Thx
[HTC Desire S] paul.robo:
Hello just wanted to ask if its possible to port sense 4.0 to our latest official GB Rom from HTC? Would be nice if its possible ???????
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
No, it's unfortunately not, it only runs on ICS (ANDROID 4.0.3).

I agree that it would be nice, but the developers we have here are great but not miracle workers, and besides why would you want them to move technology backwards.

Onwards and upwards

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] paul.robo:
ur right about moving tech forward but some people like only gb roms mate. I personally think that it will be able to be done as many things from GB was ported to froyo at the time. would be awesome if its done for the people that are going to stick with gb rom and not go with official ics update. but then its just getting it all working 100% which will probly eat up loads of time. but I deff think its worth it.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Mm

Each to their own I suppose, but I disagree, without meaning to repeat myself, onwards and upwards

The moment we get the source code for kernel 3.0 I don't believe anyone will even consider looking back, they certainly won't remember GB!

if ICS ran slower then I may understand but it's super fast, so why look back? And that's running the wrong kernel, things are only going to get better...Christ that sounds like the lyrics to a pop song ;)

Swyped form ym Dersie S unsig XAD Permuim
[HTC Desire S] GGLDN:
I agree with Ben, when the official 3.0 kernel is released sense on ics will be amazing I tried out the one v port and am eagerly waiting for the proper version, also want to ssee what some of the devs ccan do with it
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
I'm afraid you are misunderstanding...

You can't port Sense framework and put it on top of another ROM... If this was the case, we would have Sense on CM7 right? :D how good would that be?

But you can't. That is why all the Sense 3.5 ROMs are based of the Sensation XL. We are using the actual android build ported right over to work with from the device RUU.

Otherwise, if it were possible, we would have just extracted the latest Sense 3.5 and dump it over our official base. That way it would have been stabler etc (if you remember back in September when Sense 3.5 work was the main interest from Proxuser ports, and the early Endymion days...)
[HTC Desire S] imkr:
Yes, I personally agreed with Ben's said, great people here really done better and better job! They give a life to my DS :D

I've try Primo-S, Sense 4A plus ICS is awesome keep moving buddy I do hope kernal 3... coming in the near future and those bugs will be fixed.

Thanks to developers here, you all got my cap-off ;)
[HTC Desire S] paul.robo:
no ur missunderstanding. i am only talking about porting it to our latest oficial rom if u read my 1st post 100% dont make stupid posts. i made no such comment about porting to other roms just original htc rom's ( stock ) but rooted only would be awesome. it can be done anything is possible here at xda. if it has a few minds on it anything can be done. may seem stupid but its true :D
[HTC Desire S] enigmaamit:
You're right about the stupid part ...

Sent from a phone waiting for kernel v3. Wake up HTC!!
[HTC Desire S] olyloh6696:
No YOU'RE MISUNDERSTANDING.

If you read MY POST properly, you will See I'm not talking specifically about porting to just other ROMs. My point applies to every single ROM.

You CAN'T simply take out the Sense framework and replace it in ANY ROM (YES THAT INCLUDES THE STOCK GINGERBREAD ROM)

As i have already said, you have to use a full ROM that had Sense built in, you can't extract it. Bit foolish aren't you? Clearly you didn't read my post properly. How is mine a stupid comment? Your question is stupid.
[HTC Desire S] ben_pyett:
Lol, very difficult to keep quiet while reading that in the office :D

As I said earlier, onwards and upwards, forward, progress, don't look back..

Swyped from my Desire S waiting for Kernel 3, WAKE UP HTC
[HTC Desire S] Ziplock9000:
Thats for sure!.

I've just swapped from IceColdSandwich to Primo-S for my HTC Desire S.

Although the latter lacks camera functionality, it's a much more stable and smoother rom.. plus I love Sense. Which is surprising considering that Primo-S is a much newer port compared to IceColdSandwich.

anyway.. Kernel 3 will apparently fix the camera for Primo-S and I'll be happy.
[HTC Desire S] Saipro:
I've gotta insist. No official HTC ICS 3.0 kernel for the Desire S - until DEVs here figure out the camera fix. HTC trolls await your response ....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Hi guys! I know there has been alot of talk about the vibrate not being strong enough.. My question is about the pattern when using haptic feedback. I think the GNexus haptic feedback is too intense!!! Its Like getting an electric shock... Ever tried the new HTC models? They have a smooth haptic pattern which is alot more rougher, or what I would call it.

Is there any ways to get this on my gnexus? It would be great!!!!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Vangelis13:
Check morfic's last kernels, you can modify it in his.

Haha who ever said the vibration is not strong on gnex.. I Wonder what does they want? An earthquake? xD

Being honest i wish it could be less intense cus sometimes I really think the phone its gonna break in my hands lol

Trinity kernel?

EDIT: Found out it was the Trinity. Thanks man.. Do you know where to configure this? (Franco for example has an app for that)

You have to edit that in the init.d folder. Example that line says echo xxxxx 1000. Change that value to your liking save and reboot.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Viletung:
Would you be able to tell me which file inside the init.d folder? :rolleyes:
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] keem85:
Alright I've tried the glados version. The vibrate gets weaker yes, but thats not entirely what I meant. I was tvinking about the same vibrate pattern as the new htc models. Its hard to explain what I mean.. need to feel it :/

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] bobbbyliight:
Ok guys so after messing around with my phone, I've toticed something really cool and you should try out on your galaxy nexus. I'm running AOKP rom b31. Anyways here's how to do it, download tweetcater free or pro. I have pro. Then change your screen density to 240-hdpi. After you reboot, your app should now look a lot different. It doesn't hurt to give it a try. Get back to me and let me know how it looks.

I tried uploading a picture but xda wont let me due it due to the fact that this is my first post.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] lazaro17:
Isn't that just making the app run in tablet mode?

I'm not really sure lol. All I know is that its setting the density to the tablet density. I just got my galaxy nexus Monday so I'm still learning the Samsung life. I was at the Droid life before.

[Verizon Droid Charge] kpirecki:
What would cause batteries to be "not supported"? I have 3 different batteries, 1 that came with the phone, 1 that came with the media dock, and 1 that came with the replacement phone from insurance. 2 of the 3 are giving the message that they are not supported upon boot, which means I can't charge them in the phone.

I flashed back to the stock kernel recently, but to my knowledge all of these batteries should be "supported." After researching it appears that it is related to the kernel, but I am not sure. Thanks for any help!
[Verizon Droid Charge] shrike1978:
These are all Samsung batteries for this phone? That's strange. You should only get that to message on non-OEM batteries on the stock kernel. I'm at a loss on this.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kpirecki:
Yea they are all samsung batteries. I am currently running Tweaked 2.0 with stock kernel. I know it never happened when I was using pbj. I guess I will go back to complete stock and see where the issue occurs cause I can't figure it out.
[Verizon Droid Charge] buhohitr:
Give this a shot, use cwm wipe "battery stat", then remove the battery then put in back in, boot up phone.
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Are they stock Samsung batteries meant for the phone, or just Samsung batteries? Yes there is a difference, as it reads the battery info, and if it isn't one of the supported stock batteries, you will get that message and you won't be able to charge it.
[Verizon Droid Charge] kpirecki:
I assume they are all stock for the phone, I have the one that came with my original phone, the 1 that came with the media dock and the battery that came with my insurance replacement.
[Verizon Droid Charge] piizzadude:
Which 2 aren't working?

Charged up post!
[Verizon Droid Charge] imnuts:
Insurance doesn't send a battery unless something changed. I've only ever gotten the Phone with no back cover, and a charger from insurance and warranty replacement. And did you purchase the media dock from VZW or somewhere else?
[Verizon Droid Charge] kpirecki:
I received the phone, new sim card, back cover, charger, and a battery from the insurance replacement. Yes the media dock was purchased from VZW.

So I went back to EP4, took the update, and tested all 3 batteries and the problem is gone. I reinstalled CWM and tweaked 2.0 and still no problems. So now I don't know, but the problem appears to be fixed.

Hi everyone,

I've been an avid reader of posts on here, and have used a number of ROM's over the past few years of having a Hero. I'm now stuck though after flashing the wrong file in some sort of ROM limbo. I'm getting numerous error messages, but am unable to boot to recovery.

When I boot, I immediately get the following error message..

"process com.htc.android.htcime has stopped unexpectedly" this is repeated every time I press the screen.

If i boot holding the home key, it just freezes,

I've installed clockworkmod as a apk file, but it won't install clockwokmod recovery as I can't connect to internet.

Any ideas/questions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

So I've now managed to install Go Keyboard, so I've a keyboard of sorts to be able to enter stuff now. So with this I've tried to connect Wi-fi but it keeps connecting then disconnecting even though it's a stable signal. I'm now got 3G signal, and then tried using that to Flash ClockworkMod recovery.

Please excuse my ignorance if this is completely irrelevant to the point you're making, but I cannot connect my phone to a PC. I plug it in, it beeps but that's as far as it gets. I can change the connection type, but this has no effect. I cannot use the keyboard on the phone as the error appears, so any screen that asks me to input data, is of no use. I cannot connect to any networks as as soon as I click on Wireless & Networks, an error message comes up "process com.android.settings"

to state the obvious the 120 error is when there is low charge.. have you tried pulling the battery and charging the phone while its off using a mains power supply rather than the USB.. till green light then connect it..

also which RUU are you using?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mkshizzle:
nijnvy, don't worry about stating the obvious....

My phone was rooted, it's still telling me via Universal Android Root that it is, so when I try to re-root, I get the "Failed ! No ~~~Fu goo~~~" error. So I then try to unroot, which also fails. Superuser is still showing programs I'm granting permission to. It does appear though that it's only granting permission for a short period. For example, when I installed Busybox, I granted permission, it confirmed, and then within 10 seconds it told me it did not have permission.

As for the error, I made sure the phone was fully charged using the plug.
