[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcjathan:
Greetings,

I have a Samsung Captivate with CyanogenMod 7.2 installed. As part of the CM 7.2, I also have Clockwork recovery installed.

Recently, I've begun getting various low internal storage warnings. Consequently, I've become very interested in installing the Link2SD app. However, for Link2SD to work, I need to create a new partition on the internal SD card. I've found 2 ways to create this new partition:

1) Use MiniTool Partition Wizard on my desktop PC. However, this method seems to not work with the Captivate because this method requires that the internal sdcard be removed from the phone and mounted in a PC card reader and the Captivate's internal sdcard is fixed and can't be removed. BTW, I tried to USB mount the internal sdcard by plugging in my phone, but the partition creation always failed.

2) The 2nd method is to use the ClockwordMod recovery to create the partition. I easily found this option under the "Advanced" option in the main recovery menu. I chose to create a 2 GB partition with 0 swap. The phone seems to create the partition (the messages on the screen and the recovery log), but after a reboot, there is no new partition. I've tried repeating these steps multiple times — still no partition.

So, is there some bug with Captivates and ClockworkMod recovery that renders the partition function in ClockworkMod Recovery non-functional?

Regards,

Jeff

Hi yall.

I said id return to my nexy and reset it and all. So i followed this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=614850 here as i have done in the past in case a custom ROM went lolz.

Doing the same procedure now, it fails to get the OTA update to GB from Google's servers.

What am i forgetting?

Thanks yall
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suryateja.sun:
Hai,

I read it some where. To get OTA, go to Manage Applications>All>Google Services Framework> Clear Data and Force Stop.

Now check for update
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelis828:
i know what you mean,but it does not appear at all on my 2.1 stock nexus. i tried deleting data from Gtalk and such but with no success
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deliamber:
Why not just use the PASSIMG method? You could go directly to a Gingerbread one. Our if you don't want to bump your main version, just manually apply the OTA update(s) using the official update zip(s).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davelis828:
thanks guys. i actually used the PASSIMG to 2.2 and from there it update smoothly to 2.3.6!

i guess im back to flashng custom roms as i ve been tinkering with my newer EVO 3d GSM :D

Jelly bean? I'm getting less with Google now I think...
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] matthewr87:
On 4.1.1 when my phone is sitting on idle it loses about 1% an hour. I've only had a couple of charge cycles on JB but the best I could do was 2 days with 1 hour and 45 mins of screen time.

My best on ICS 4.0.1 was 3 days and some odd hours but that was with about 30 mins of screen use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Msilvame:
I charge my nexus every night! But yes, I use it a lot! Twiter eat battery!
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] crixley:
so what? Screen on time is where the battery drains..

These posts are so pointless.

If you could legitimately get 6+ hours of screen on time then I'd be impressed
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] spiritcrusher33:
Even with my 3500 mAh ext batt I can get bout 4 to 5 of on screen time... but that's mostly on wifi. People will always get diff results on batt life..
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] andr3wchong:
doesn't charging every night wears out the mini usb port on your nexus ?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kw900:
Here is my latest with new jelly bean ota. Stock battery. A bit confusing.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fortesquieu:
Wow seriously?? 5 hours screen time on stock? Unbelievable
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kw900:
Yeah, totally legit. I think the new radio has better reception, and I've also noticed android using less battery resourses. I only synch gmail, as I did with 4.0.1
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernosoft:
What are you guys doing to get this kind of battery life??

Extend battery?

Specific ROM?

Specific kernel?

Clock settings? Apps?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] 95Z28:
For me (average 4½ hours screen time in 20 hour day) I have stock JB ROM rooted with stock kernel and battery auto sync auto brightness mostly cellular data and no Facebook or twitter apps. I don't use Google+ so really the only thing syncing for me is gmail.

I use autostarts to keep apps closed, and do turn data off when playing games (that don't require it) to prevent adds.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] josevale:
That's pretty awesome battery life. Mine was similar a couple weeks ago but I must have changed something cause I no longer get a day or two of battery life.

Couple questions, can you go to your settings and under developer options look for the Apps" section, what are your settings? I feel like that may have something to do with it. But not sure. Mine are set to unchecked, standard limit, and unchecked.

And lastly, do you mind downloading CPU Spy so we can see what CPU state your phone is on the majority of the time?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] tameracingdriver:
Mine started off quite good at 4% drain overnight for 8 hours (totally stock). This morning not so good - 6% in 1.5 hours. Google now being the culprit perhaps? Because I put my home and work location in, it now gives me traffic reports. Problem is the route it says is always completely different to the route I actually take so its practically useless now, so I've turned it off... see how it is now.

I like the concept of Google now but for me its not a whole lot of use.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] infernosoft:
I just bought autostarts. What events did you disable in autostarts?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ooo_Pepi:
This is on JB rom Jelly Belly v2
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] fortesquieu:
Oh I see what the deal is now. You DID turn off data at one point, that would be the reason why it was saving so much battery.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] kw900:
It's always set to auto. I don't use fb or twitter, and only use one active weather widget. I hope this lasts. I've since gone through another cycle and made it to five hours again. When I was on 4.0.1 I barely ever got to four hours screen time.

... Forgot to mention if it's of any help this is all on wifi... Hopefully I'll get close on data, my signal seems strong though.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] martindesu:
With real use I get less battery time now and I think Google Now is the culprit, but it's new, fun, and useful so I don't mind too much.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] MikeMurphy:
Sure, but letting your battery drain too far reduces its health.

Google "lithium battery" and "depth of discharge"

Our batteries are happiest when they aren't being emptied.

OMG! O_O

Sorry, nothing constructive to add. Just excitement
[Atrix 4G General] Deggy:
I kinda get why everyone is upset about not getting ICS already. Atrix came out in February 2011 and every phone that came out after that got ICS first.
[Atrix 4G General] cooljeremy84:
Why everyone is so desperated for the update? Its says Q3. It may happen in july, August or September. When the phone was released, it was gingerbread upgradeable not ics upgradeable :confused:
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
Indeed. This is a Froyo phone, no matter.the specs. Im grateful that Moto is going to give us official ICS. With ICS, we are going to get the new drivers that are going to work well on JB and maybe in the next Android release. :)
[Atrix 4G General] Sass86:
When the atrix was released gingerbread was already out, in all honesty, it should have come with gingerbread.

I think they will help as far as jellybean, but that's depending on how big key lime pie is.
[Atrix 4G General] djluis48:
Im totally positive that they will help for JB, and judging from Android's past behavior with updates, im about 75% sure that they will also be good for Lime Pie (if thats the name for the next release of Android. These drivers are going to be good for Android 4.x.x, they will stop working for sure on Android 5.0. Thats going to be the end for the Atrix, at least with drivers. Thats just my guess tough.
[Atrix 4G General] yeahmann:
Judging from Android's past behavior with updates, Key Lime Pie will be Android 5.0.

[Edit]

Upon further review you may be right. I certainly hope Key Lime Pie is Android 4.2 with driver compatibility with ICS/JB.

[Atrix 4G General] Dark9781:
I have to agree with some of the others. My next upgrade is in February. Even I had an upgrade now I wouldn't use it yet. My Atrix has be great and there isn't any phone at the moment that really jumps out at me and says get me. The Atrix HD came close for me (want to stick with Moto because I love their hardware and software is finally starting to catch up). The only things that bother me with the Atrix HD is that because it is very similar to the Razr I'm worried about the battery life. Also, there is no Webtop. Webtop 3.0 was looking good and doesn't tax the cpu like the current version since essentially it is running in tablet mode. I'm kind of holding out to see if Moto does with the Atrix HD what they did with the Razr. The Atrix HD Maxx maybe. I would hope that they bring Webtop 3.0 to it and bring back the fingerprint scanner (fingerprint scanner not a deal breaker). Sorry got a bit off topic.

Hope we will see an OG Atrix leak soon.

Some people only want what they don't have. Don't have ICS therefore they want it.

I'm trying to use allshare play to stream files from my windows 8 consumer's preview PC to my galaxy s3. I've installed the software yet the allshare play website will not move on to step 2 and allow me to register my PC. The allshare play icon is running in the in the toolbar, I've tried restarting, running the program as administrator, and even running all the application files in either windows 7 compatibility or windows vista service pack 2 compatibility. I tried accessing allshare play through chrome, ie, and modzilla firefox, but it still leaves me stuck on the "install software" page.

I tried this on my mom's computer running vista and it goes through to the register device page like a charm and i am then able to stream, upload, and download, from my galaxy s3.

Please someone help, this is a cool feature i'd like to use with my computer, and if anyone know what settings I can adjust in windows 8 to get the website to read that i have the software installed I'd very much appreciate it
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
Hi I've been a lurker for a while pyt this is my first post and I was wondering if anyone had good recommendations for cases with a frontlip for the one x. I switch from the iPhone 3gs and was using the incase slider that a had a really nice design and saved my phone many times. I was the wondering if anyone knows of a similar case that won't scratch my phone like the incase did.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Loving my Case-mate "Smooth" purchased from expansys. Semi-rigid with a great hand feel. Recommended. No cutout for the contacts on the back though.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] irvgotti:
I did see that case I how big is the lip on the front. And does it feel cheap at all or does it collect a lot of lint because those are my only problems with some gel and tpu cases.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] Vendetta-NY:
Feels very well made, fits tightly. You might have a tiny struggle getting it on at first, but you'll manage. The lip over the sides comes just far up enough to cover the seams on the glass. And because of its rigidity, it doesn't buckle to reveal the seams. I'm very satisfied with it.

One flaw I found - and it's been on both units I purchased - was a little unfinished cutting on the bottom edge of the camera lens cutout. Probably something in manufacturing where they cut it from the mold or whatever. It bothered me enough to get a return authorization, but it dawned on me (again) that life's too short to give a crap about ridiculous things like this so I never returned it. In fact, I bought the second unit for a buddy of mine instead.

[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] GroovyGeek:
I bought the Incipio Feather and NGP. The feather is going back the NGP is staying. This is a somewhat overpriced but well made and well fitting TPU case (semi-soft). Feels much more secure in my hand and less likely to slip than the Feather, though admittedly not as sleek. the Speck cases on the iPhone seem to offer good protection, but the only ones I saw in the AT&T store were ugly red and bright blue, I am not a teenager, no way I am putting one of these on my phone.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] br0wnstar:
The official purple TPU case is pretty good for that but I'm not sure if I'm a huge fan of its appearance.
[AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL] specter491:
Cimo TPU case from Amazon is pretty good. Nice lip and good grip on the edges. Plus it was only $8 when I bought mine

Your Galaxy Tab 7.7 also cost over $400 USD MORE THAN the Nexus 7....but thank you for wasting bandwidth...
[Nexus 7 General] cdmoore74:

The gtab 7.7 was $429 on a 2 year contract and $699 with no contract when it was released.

Would I pay over $400 for a Nexus 7? No I wouldn't. Would I pay $200 given that the screen is not equal to the gtab 7.7 or iPad 3? Yes I would.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
So I've had my n7000 since early nov till now and removed the efs folder around Jan to avoid the stupid data plan that att loves to shove down your throat even though they didn't do crap to subsidize the phone i'm using

long story short I've enjoyed the phone with no problems at all up until 2pm today EST.

I notice my text messages are not being sent even though i have full bars.

So i decide to make a phone call and that is not working either , all you get is a "this number has been blocked"

I couldn't even use the same phone to callup att at 611 to see wtf was going on.

So I call up the csr via att premiere and wound up with the sh1ttest girl who was mega unhelpful. Sighed after every interaction with her. Fkn quit then if you hate your job ... IT'S CUSTOMER SERVICE for god sakes !

she goes on to tell me that someone declared my phone stolen

..... oh really I wonder who

1 - any records of an actual police report ? (no)

2 - any records of a phone sweep ? (not sure what that is)

I bought my phone off a reputable seller with more than 50k feedback via amazon

and I doubt I would receive a complaint almost 1 year later

So after a lot of back and forth she wouldn't tell me who reported it or how ... in all honestly she was just clueless but I've got service reactivated.

Such a shame we can't have decent service and competition when it comes to gsm based phones without all the hassle n' bullsh1t that comes with it.

Wanna tether ? - slapped with a fees

How bout regular text ? -more fees

MMS ? - oh hell yes more fees

14.99 data plan ? ..... nope f^k you customer it's now 20 dollar for data plan

if someone beats the sh1t out of att's ceo i'm going to party like it's 1998

SO ANYONE ELSE OUT THERE WHO IS ON ATT THAT DELETED THEIR EFS , YOU'VE BEEN WARNED
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eug3n91:
Sorry, but I laughed so hard at the last few parts of the post...:laugh:

It's weird how GSM users have so many problems over in the U.S. All we have here (le Europe) is the occasional screwing you with "Oh, no wait, your contract actually still has 3 months to go" (when I have actual contract proof it was made EXACTLY one year ago) and the phone subsidizing screwing (They sometimes don't subsidize your phone unless you get something like a 25 - 30 $ contract for 2 years).

Hope U.S. carriers solve this sort of thing... It sounds like they've got too firm of a grasp on everything phone-related over there.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
You INTENTIONALLY deleted your EFS?

That's utterly idiotic, and in this case, for the purposes you did it for, criminal. Changing the IMEI of your phone intentionally is simply illegal in almost any country. (These legal issues are, by the way, the reason it is so difficult to have an EFS regenerated if it wasn't backed up - the IMEI of a phone is intentionally difficult to change, and I'm honestly shocked by how easy it is on Samsungs.)

I'm shocked you lasted this long with Samsung's test IMEI - Most service providers in other countries outright block it.

Simply put - you changed your IMEI, and you were a dumbass and changed it to one that is commonly blocked because IT ISN'T VALID AT ALL. If you delete the EFS, it defaults to the test IMEI, which is known to be invalid and is also common to nearly all Samsung devices.

There are many things I do not like about AT&T and their practices, however, without a doubt, you have engaged in criminal activity and it's surprising it has taken you this long to get caught.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mister_Mxyzptlk:
I was wondering if that was a typo or something. I really couldn't believe that someone INTENTIONALLY deleted their EFS folder.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Entropy512:
Yup... On nearly any other service provider, that would immediately render your phone inoperable. The test IMEI is blacklisted in most countries.

I'm guessing AT&T recently imported an international blacklist that included the test IMEI.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
In the early days of the Note, AT&T was aggressively blocking the Note as they considered it a tablet. You had to jump through hoops to get any sort of call plan. Many of us had to sign up with a different IMEI (which wasn't a big deal, as it immediately gets changed as soon as you make your first phone call).

In several threads where suggestions were thrown out, deleting the efs folder was one of the suggested methods. It was arguably better than not being able to use your phone at all. Even back then, however, it didn't consistently work, and AT&T was semi regularly cutting off people who did this.

As far as I know, Once AT&T finally came to their senses (and decided to sell the Note themselves), there hasn't been a 'delete the efs folder' post and people stopped doing this.

It doesn't surprise me at all, however, that there are still phones out there with nuked efs folders. (hopefully backed up).

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Dungeon47:
Were you looking at /efs ? Like in the top directory about /system and /data ? What file manager were you using? Some can list root folders, but not view or interact with contents unless you are running as root.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] cymax:
Hi there, :) I am using ES file explorer and /EFS is in root directory. Maybe i should get root first :) Thanks
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] baz77:
you need samsung service to reinstate you emei, or get someone with expensive zdbox to do that, not a chance in heaven you can do that on your own. And you need proof that emei is yours, like your original box/paperwork.

Note changing emei, even ridiculously if its a generic one back to original is illegal in a lot of countries.
