[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrehamdadi:
Hi i'm new here so sorry if this is in the wrong place :(

So i just got the captivate i897 for att. But the thing is i want tmobile and to root it So my real question is:

Should i root or unlock the phone first?

If i root it and flash a rom will i have to unlock the phone again?

And will the phone get bricked?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m1batt1:
First you will want to root it. Go here to do so http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1350266 It will get you rooted and then if you use this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=761045 and it will walk you through how to unlock your phone to use on any carrier.

I've used this exact unlock method and it is permanent. However if you were to revert to stock software you will loose your root access but that can be easily regained.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrehamdadi:
Thank you so much!! But one question. how do I mount the internal SD Card on my computer? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
Plug it into your pc, you'll get a notification and you mount it.

Other way of doing it is by going in recovery and under mount, mount internal.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrehamdadi:
Okay so what should i avoid to not get my phone bricked? and if it does How would i use Odin to restore it?

Last question sorry, i just wanna be extra careful ><
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
As long as you don't flash bootloaders, you will never brick. Flashing bootloaders is only needed when going from Froyo to GB.

I recently downloaded CM10 and flashed JB to my Droid 4, but I can't seem to find a way to root my phone again. Everything is for ICS. Is there any way to root my JB D4?
[Motorola Droid 4] captainstarbucs:
It's already rooted if you flashed JB. Check your apps and verify that you have SuperUser installed. You don't lose root when flashing a custom rom.
[Motorola Droid 4] benny_t:
Sorry, I misspoke. When I said flash, I meant I SBF'd to 6.7.2.

I didn't have superuser, and even when I installed it, I get a FC on apps that require su.
[Motorola Droid 4] dbreezy187:
6.7.2-180_dr4-m2-37 is ICS if that is what you are referring to... Android version 4.0.4...
[Motorola Droid 4] adizzle23:
You must b on ics, you can't get to jb on the d4 unless u r rooted and running a custom rom, so just check your android version in your about phone settings and see if it says 4.0.4. And if it does than u r on ics.

I've used 2 diff ROMs and I get the same result. Anyone else? If I listen continuely, after 1 track the next will play out of the phone speaker not earphones or thru aux jack when plugged into my stereo. I'm wondering if this is a ROM issue or a Play issue or S3 issue.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] stoicite:
I have the same problem when I plug my S3 into my AUX jack in my car. It doesn't matter what app I'm using, if I change the song or any buffering happens (basically any interruption in the output) the output switches to my phone speaker. I have to unplug then plug back in the audio cable from the car's aux jack to get it to work again.

This happened on a stock rom and happens on the current "GOODNESS" SG3 ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] kkarson:

[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] galaxyaurona:
Hi

I am currently using T-mobile HD2 running WP7.8 Pdaimatejam Rom. So far so good , the rom running smoothly, except for some rarely auto reboot.

But there is one thing that bugs me the most. Whenever I plug in a headphone which is not HTC's, the phone start to act crazy. It automatically start,stop,change volume, sometime it changes song as well..I test it with several headphone/earphone. This will not happen if i plug in the HTC's headphone, which come with a music controller.Unfortunately, the stock headphone got muted on one ear and I don't want to waste money on another HTC headphone because I already got 2,3 headphones at home.

So anyone has ever encountered the same problem.If yes can you share the solution ??
[Xperia Play Themes and Apps] Xperia Player:
Ok so from what I've gathered, I Love Katamari is a Samsung exclusive, kind of like how Super Street Fighter 4 HD is an LG exclusive.

It looks like some people got the 'demo' version to work on their phone but it's set on a time limit.

Also I downloaded a Japanese version, not sure if it's the full version or not because I can not read it.

So here are my questions, is there a way to remove the time limit for the demo version? Does anyone have a full English version? And would there be anyway to translate the in game text?

The Katamari series are amazing games, it would be amazing if we could get it on our phones - any help would be appreciated.

(I can supply you with the Japanese version if for some reason you want/need it.)

only joined for bumping this old thread, ive been looking for this forever, if anyone can help.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kalvan:
Trying to determine if this is a software bug or a hardware problem. Looking for some additional people to test and verify.

ISSUE:

While listening to music, I hear a periodic, short duration, low-volume burst of static. This only happens when WiFi is on but not connected (searching for network to join). This also only happens with headphones (at least I have not been able to hear it over bluetooth).

NOTES:

I have tried both the HTC stock music app to listen to music stored on the external SD card and Google Play Music to stream data from the cloud.

The period of the noise is 15 seconds when on a Jelly Bean ROM (I have tried both MeanBean and xHausx's stock ROM. When I was on MeanROM ICS, the period appeared to be 17 seconds.

The duration of the noise is 1/4 second or less.

The volume of the noise is very low. I recommend trying to reproduce the problem with very quiet music.

Wifi must be on and scanning to hear the noise. With Jelly Bean, the WiFi scanning interval appears to be 15 seconds (I did not check the scanning interval when on ICS). I recommend not being near a network that you can connect to when testing this.

I am S-OFF with the original LazyPanda HBOOT (1.12.2222) with the latest firmware installed from xHausx's thread.

BACKGROUND:

Here are some posts where this issue has been discussed in other threads:

JustinChase's first post regarding the issue in the MeanROM ICS Thread

Follow up later in the thread: #1, #2

Continuing discussion in MeanBean thread​

Thanks in advance for any testing you can do!
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] chazybaz13:
I have the same exact problem even connected to WiFi. As long as I have WiFi turned on I can reproduce the static noises you speak of on both stock rooted 4.1 and meanbean roms. S-off also :/
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
I also have the issue, but only when wifi is turned on, but not connected to a network. If I have no network remembered (nothing for it to try to connect to), I don't hear the problem then.

The noise is a static, crackling noise, which sounds like 'machine noise' that I also hear when I'm listening to my desktop computer with headphones thru the crappy motherboard connections. On the desktop, whenever I move the mouse wheel, or put the system under load, I hear 'machine noise' thru the headphones, likely related to poorly designed/shielded onboard audio.

This makes me think if might be hardware related, but the fact that it only happens when wifi is trying to connect to a remembered network makes me think it's software related.

The noise is always the same volume, which isn't very loud. If you listen to your music at 1/2 or higher volume, you will likely not hear it, but if you listen at about 1/4 volume, or lower, it's a pretty loud and very annoying noise. I almost always hear it at the end of a song, but hear it throughout songs also.

I'm s-off, so don't really want to go complaining to Sprint about it yet, but since it seems only a few other people have reported the same issue, I suspect it might by phone specific. :p

I would really appreciate anyone/everyone testing this and providing feedback, even if it's 'I don't hear this, you're crazy', at least I'd know :)

To test, make sure that you have a wifi network remembered on the phone, go to a place where wifi cannot connect to the network (or any other network), then play music with the stock music app (the red musical note icon), make sure the volume is less than 1/3 and you should hear this noise within a minute or 2. Some have reported every 15 seconds, but I'm not sure I hear it quite that often. If you make it thru 2 songs with no noise, you probably don't suffer.

Thanks, looking forward to some feedback :)
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tilde88:
Hmm... Very odd. I might have a little input or it may be completely unrelated.

Are you guys with this issue using PowerAmp music player (i use that, it is AMAZING).

Anyway, I noticed that while using any global beats addins, I usually get a weird staticky noise through my headphones... BUT, this only happens while playing a song and another sound comes up. In example, I am playing an MP3, and I get a text message, or a low battery warning. When the other sounds come into play, it disrupts the music playing, and the notification doesn't even make its sound; just the static interruption where the sound WOULD have been. A fix for this, is to enable [maybe disable? not sure which is the default setting, but just uncheck/check depending if its on or not] the Direct Volume Control option. Doing this allows me to hear the other sounds while playing the music with no interruption.

Now, to get on board with the OP who has this problem on WiFi only. Perhaps it is the same scenario as myself. Maybe your WiFi is giving some sort of SU notice from the makesh that the WiFi mod asks root for.

Sorry if it sounds a bit confusing... But hope it helps!

EDIT: After reading some posts above, I see the problem comes in even with the stock music player. Idk, I still think it has something to do with MusicBox/DSPManager/Volume+ and the WiFi SU notices

That could be a bad port... Or it may be an IRQ problem :) If you feel comfortable playing with your BIOS on the PC, look into your IRQ settings
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kalvan:
Some new info:

I clean installed MeanBean 0.6, connected to my home WiFi, then went to work this morning. Now that I'm at work (and not connected to my home network), the period of the noise is back at 17 seconds. I went to the WiFi settings and deleted my home network settings. Now the noise is at 15 second intervals. The volume of the noise also seems quieter.

I connected to my work's WiFi (they are finally letting "non-corporate controlled devices" connect to the network) and the noise is gone.

I'll have to wait until after work to retest the interval with a remembered network present.

Yesterday, when testing with a stock ROM, I only tested when I had never connected to a network before. So the period may not be ROM or OS version specific.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Kalvan:
I have only tried the stock HTC app and Google Play Music. I have some tunes on the Amazon server, so I'll try that one later today.

I don't see the makesh app looking for root when on a Jelly Bean ROM (it doesn't show up in the SuperSU logs either). I wonder if HTC changed that in the 3.15 update.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Tilde88:
Hmm ignore my posting then :-p
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] JustinChase:
Where might I find this setting you refer to? As you noticed (after you wrote this), I'm only using the stock music application, and can't find this setting anywere. I suspect it's in the PowerAmp player, but wanted to verify, so that I can try adjusting it. FWIW, I do hear the quiet notification noise while the music is playing (which used to stop the music on ICS - this is MUCH better).

I'd like to 'fix' this issue also, but it's been a LONG time since I've worried about IRQ issues. Windows 7 (and XP?) deals with IRQ issues well, so I haven't seen any conflicts in years. What in the BIOS might I be looking for, and how might I adjust it to try to eliminate this issue? I'm plenty comfortable in the BIOS, but the only IRQ settings I remember are related to forcing it to use a specific IRQ, but wouldn't know what to try changing for positive effect.

I'm plugging into the front audio port of the machine, which connects to the motherboard via a HD audio connector (if I remember correctly). I believe I have the same noise issue when connecting to the audio out on the back of the machine, which is directly connected/part of the motherboard. In fact, I've heard these 'machine noises' on all of my machines for years, so just always assumed it was a symptom of the lower quality audio connections. However, I'd LOVE to eliminate this issue also, if possible.

Sorry for the off topic :(
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] xHausx:
This sounds like it's just poor shielding somewhere. I believe the wifi antenna is near the headphone jack so it's probably causing some interference there.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] kf2m:
Exactly Haus. Try different headphones or speakers. You could for your headphones get THIS then run a couple of wraps around it through the center near the phone jack, and see if that helps. For speakers the signal could be coming in from many places (power input, signal input, with in audio amp, or the speakers themselves. Now if the sound is coming from the speaker inside the phone.. Well you have much bigger problems than a ROM.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] Twolazyg:
I have the static issue when streaming over Bluetooth with the screen on, wifi on or off, on both stock and custom roms. Turn the screen off, no static. Also, Bluetooth disconnects at random if I leave the screen on and will not reconnect until I unpair and repair with my stereo.

It has to be an issue with jb, as I've never had this issue until the update. Fwiw I'm thinking connections optimizer (on or off) has a hand in this issue.
[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] refereeme:
Think I'm having this too

I was noticing this today on wifi. It would make a crrrik like a cog sound every so often, at first i thought it was the song, then when it did it on the next two I found this thread. It was not just 1x 2x per song it was almost on beat at times. I heard it probably 30 times in 30 second song. Another thought was some file/notification was making the sound in the background.

Turning wifi off so far has resolved problem. It was really annoying. I don't think its an antennae issue since its the same noise each time exactly (including duration) about a .25sec noise. Thinking of antennae interference its usually a scratchy sound that is intermittent duration some long some short etc.

It was extremely unbearable as I listen to the lowest setting on the phone with beats off.

I just restored a nandroid I had and all the apps I had moved to the sd were missing. Is there a way to correct this or do they have to be in the phone storage to be included in the backup?

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] ryanissnackpack:
a nandroid backup usually includes the system, data, and boot images. user apps are usually installed on the data partition, but if you chose to move apps to your sd card via application settings then it would not be backed up.

First of all, fk23 isn't official and neither is root.

What you're describing is the emergency broadcast system text msgs and this has been noted for some time across many builds.

There is a way to disable receiving these msgs.. but my brain is tired.. give me a bit and I'll edit with the steps unless someone beats me to it.
