[Droid Eris Android Development] mccloskeym:
I got a replacement Eris and it seems root proof. I have tried the master app, the leak method and the manual method and all have failed. Even Verizon didn't seem to know what OS version I was on (so I know what to focus on)

I noticed I was on HBOOT 1.49.0000 which made me think that the phone I got back had one of the leak updates on it, but now I am not sure. The answer to this question should probably go into the main information thread where people can look at their HBOOT screen and software info (maybe) to know what version they are on.

Here is what I think would be helpful:

Android 1.5

This should be obvious

Android 2.1 Leak 1

HBOOT: 1.49?

Software versions

Anything that identifies this as leak 1

Android 2.1 Leak 2

HBOOT: 1.49

Software versions:

Anything that identifies this as leak 2

Android 2.1 Leak 3

HBOOT: 1.49

Software versions:

Anything else that identifies this as leak 3

Android 2.1 OTA

S-on

HBOOT: 1.49???

Software versions

Anything else that identifies this as OTA

Android 2.1 Root

S-off

HBOOT:

Software versions

Anything that identifies this as leak 1

Android 2.2

This should be obvious as well, but if we want to fill that in, that would be good too I assume

Thx!

[Droid Eris Android Development] cptkrush:
They ship replacement phones with the 2.1 RUU update, which updates the bootloader to 1.49.0000 and destroys any chance of rooting without jumping through tiny hoops. It is practically leak v3
[Droid Eris Android Development] xnatex21:
Not completely accurate....

Bootloader 1.49.0000 will prevent you from rooting BUT I just met a guy who got a factory refurb with Andriod 1.5 and 1.47 on it. (I even offered him $$ for it but he looked like he thought I was selling him a lemon or something).
[Droid Eris Android Development] mccloskeym:
OK, that's what I feared (that it was essentially v3 Leak). So, following the leak approach in the leakers thread is the only way to do it, right?

[HTC Startrek] mtiberio:
Well I tried these:

latest OEM WM5.0 v4.1.502.5 AKU v3.4.2

GnatGoSplat's WM6.0 5.2.1711 (My Fav)

Erofich's WM6.1 Build 5.2.21040 AKU 1.6.0

zheny's (by zhangping_bnu) WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.23090.23090 (caused a lockup, never did boot)

Not tried:

zheny's (by 子原ziyuan) WM6.5 (NLA from rapidshare)

My opinion: I didn't like any of the optional home screens offered by the 6.1 build, I found it's task manager less friendly, and didn't like having to go through the recent page to the start menu. Given all that and a few things I can't even remember (not bugs, just UI experiences), I have no problem using the 6.0 build. It is also possible to load the clock and battery meter from the 6.1 build into the 6.0 build, making the 6.1 build even less unique to me. This is not meant to be a slam against the 6.1 build, just my $0.02. Both the 6.0 and 6.1 build loaded and booted and ran well. YMMV
[HTC Startrek] Dalamak:
Just picked up a Finnish S411 from Hong Kong yesterday, after my T-mobile TP2 took a dump.

I work hard all day and the touch screen phones get fuked up, Newton rings, screen scratches, lose of touch screen sensitivity... etc

I've always been a flip phone guy, but have never liked there OS's, or performance, models like the BB flip although very nice locked you out of so much I felt restricted and strangled.

The HTC Startrek, is the only winmo Flip phone HTC. And I love it so, lets keep Rom Development alive!!!!

I'm currently using V9c its a nice build, can't comment on Stock because the Stock ROM was Finnish only

But having had cooked Winmo Roms on my Eten M800, Touch Pro, and my TP2 and I can say its missing alot of custom support.

No option for open close sound, etc

So this weekend, i put on a wifi tether app for my friend on his HD2. A laptop can connect to it fine, but my xperia x10 can't even find it. Is there any solution to this? Maybe I should be in the HD2 forum asking, but i wanted to know if it was the xperia x10 not being able to connect to ad-hoc connection?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Pissgums:
Hi Guys & Gals.

I've got a question about Profiles in Windows Mobile 6.5 - if they exist and if so, can I automatically switch them?

I've got a TYTN II running (IIRC) Shifu WM6.5 (v4.3).

What I'd like it to do is as soon as I connect the power (i.e. when it's in the car, in its cradle), it automatically turns on the GPS, Wifi, bluetooth etc.

Is this possible?

My old SPV C600 (Tornado) did something similar I believe, where you could set different profiles to turn on different settings, and I just wondered if it was possible with my Tytn II.

Thanks.

Pete.

Help! :( I'm on the Three network in Australia and I'm pretty sure I've got the APN settings correct. I am able to send MMS fine but when it comes to receiving my phone seems unable to download the attachments.

When I get an MMS the phone recognises its an MMS (I know this because when I long press the message it shows thats its an mms.) However, all I am able to see is the text contained in the message but not the attached picture. The picture doesn't show up in either the stock messaging app nor Handcent.

I have absolutely no idea why this is happening, I can send MMS just fine. I am running CM6 RC1. Anyone experienced this before or know whats wrong? >< :confused::confused::confused:

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] lechuckthepirate:
Hi guys, I don't know if this is the right forum to post, but I can't make Google Maps Navigation to play voice on my phone.

I've searched for this issue and found some people complaining that the app won't play voices when connected by bluetooth to a car hands-free adapter, but in my case it NEVER does, either by phone speakers or the handsfree bt adapter.

I have installed TTS Service Extended... but no luck...

Can anyone give me a hint? It's impossible to use a Navigation app without voices, since it makes you look more at the phone's screen than paying attention to the road... and that's really dangerous.

Thanks!
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 1001101:
I am looking for an app that would enable me to dial contacts or do actions on my Android phone by voice. The standard Android voice recognition is unacceptable because I am not from an English speaking country.

My old phone had this feature where I could record a "voice command" for any of my contacts and only those would be considered when voice dialing. This also enabled for much more variance in speaking so I suppose it would be helpful for English speaking users too.

Is there any app that would provide this functionality? Or is somebody working on one?
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtbsoft.:
I am in a similar situation, a number of my family have non-English names and Android cannot recognise them. I've looked everywhere and cannot find one either. Everyone seems to rely on voice recognition which is, frankly, crap for anything remotely non-standard in language.

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sashank:
To make the Android voice recognition work, go to Settings>Voice Input & Output>Language>English (US). You'll be able to use all the voice commands. I don't know how well voice dialing will work for you though. It works for me many times with Indian names, but also fails a lot. Try Vlingo too, it might work better.

Does anyone know if AT&T is going to allow you to preorder this phone? I really want to be guaranteed one on Sunday!
[Captivate General] cfili:
I was wondering the same thing. I was also wondering if other merchants like Best Buy would carry the phone on launch day.
[Captivate General] iLoki:
I'm just gonna be there at 11am when the store opens on Sunday. I went and asked about it a couple days ago at the local ATT store and they had no idea they were even going to carry it. Kind of dissapointing really, but that just means they haven't been hyping the phone, and I'll be able to get one for sure :D
[Captivate General] Jack45:
An AT&T customer service rep said "no" to pre-ordering. I'll just order it online on Sunday. Why risk having to pay a store's re-stocking fee in the event you want to return / exchange it? Not being negative - just realistic.
[Captivate General] sl8125:
It will available. Its not a Iphone. Only tech savvy people like us will be interested in these type of phones. No pre order necessary. I don't understand how and why people are willing to stand in a line for hours for crap like that.
[Captivate General] Danni3:
less hype = loyal customer base and less teenagers showing off their new phone and complaining it isn't like the iphone >.> I seriously hate it when younger kids (10~14) have a smart phone and barely know how to use it, ahem I'm talking about you grade schoolers with blackberries

still awaiting confirmation if it is 350$ but I'm really hoping that it isn't sold out when i attempt to get one by the end of next week =[
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
less hype = less stock = one phone per store.

You telling me there's no person in a 5 mile radius around me that doesnt also want the captivate?
[Captivate General] sl8125:
LOL no one carries one unit per store.
[Captivate General] fade2black:
I called 4 BestBuy stores around me and none of them know if they will have it Sunday. Most of them said to call back later to see if they came in on their truck this week. Doesn't surprise me AT&T stores don't know about it. The one by me, I told them they had the Aria, but they didn't believe me until another guy came out of the back room with one and said "Is this what you were talking about?" wtf?
[Captivate General] kennethpenn:
Its confirmed on ATT Twitter now! $350 off contract
[Captivate General] Jack45:
I've chatted with AT&T reps online who, when asked about the Captivate, had no idea what I was talking about. And this is a product that's 5 days away. Let's cut to the chase. My experience has shown that - generally speaking - we know a lot more about their product line than they do. It would be a good thing if their employees shared our passion.
[Captivate General] p.ford:
I went to an ATT store near me today and the lady there said that they had gotten their demo but not the shipment. She said that she didn't normally get excited by phones, but this one she was pumped about. She had to check with someone else to confirm the Sunday date, though I knew about that, and she said that they didn't really know the price off contract. She also said they usually get their shipments on Wed or Thurs with the info about the phone that they need to know.
[Captivate General] ctalbot:
Are you surprised? It's not the Jesus phone so what do they care?
[Captivate General] PersonOfKnownOrigin:
I went to my local corporate store today and they wouldn't show me their demo and said they had no stock to sell. I went out to my car and called the next closest store and they told me the same thing!

I explained at the first store how a few people online had seen them in the store and even a few had purchased units and she told me if they had stock they would probably sell it but they had no stock and were HOPING they had a few for Sunday. :confused:
[Captivate General] Jack45:
I wouldn't put up with it if I were in upper-level management at AT&T. Either you give a damn or get out. The store managers should be ashamed that some of their employees are uninformed and, worse, uncaring. And the district managers should be ashamed...and so on. If we have to educate them about their product line then we should be receiving a portion of their salaries. During a chat session today with a CSR at AT&T I sent him the link about the upcoming release of the Captivate.

There are no excuses.
[Captivate General] kletiz:
AT&T is making a huge mistake by not hyping this phone. They obviously don't know how great of a product they have and to be the first in the US to release it! I realize they are trying to stay close with Apple, but come on!! Unleash the beast! Give the consumers what they want! Oh yeah and Apple, LMAO... http://news.cnet.com/8301-13579_3-20010212-37.html
[Captivate General] kletiz:
I had a chat session with a CSR today also and the guy pretty much said "Check out att.com/android for any news about this phone." Like everyone else said, we seem to know more about the phone than AT&T itself.

[Captivate General] magicdanw:
Haven't we known the off-contract price for a week or so now? Maybe I just dreamed it, who knows :rolleyes:

I had to ask around at three stores before I found one where they even knew that the Captivate was coming out (the first two had no clue when it was coming out, if AT&T was even sending them any, or when). At the third store though, the guy was awesome and let me sign up to be notified as soon as they get it sometime next week (hoping for Sunday or Monday), and he said he'd put one aside for me.

I do hope Wirefly/Amazon puts the Captivate for sale online for under $200, like how they're selling the Aria for free with a contract, but I'll get it in store if not.
[Captivate General] sobolosrios:
Gracias!

That price seems impossibly good, no? Maybe I'll buy two.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Yes price seems too good. What is the price of the original galaxy s? If it's $500+, there's been a mistake
[Captivate General] Danni3:
but the original galaxy s is unlocked I believe this one is specifically locked to AT&T and thus the cheap price. >.< hopefully
[Captivate General] magicdanw:
Plus half as many cameras as the original. Not sure how expensive those are, but it might affect the price somewhat...
[Captivate General] tysj:
The hardware should have nothing to do with that price. The phone itself should be worth at least $500 like many other smartphones in its class and its original version. Hell, even the Aria has a higher off-contract price.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Yes, all the carriers have removed the reported 330-350 price range. I think it is 500+ and a carrier isn't going to care that it's "locked", they are going to sell it for market price.
[Captivate General] p.ford:
Sorry, I can't believe that so many different people have reported it being $350 off contract that it's wrong.
[Captivate General] sobolosrios:
I would like to believe that as well, although I'm not holding out hope. The tweet posted earlier appears to be from after the price was listed and then removed from AT&T's Facebook page, so it is at least some evidence that $350 might be right.

I called my local AT&T corporate store and they said they would have the Captivate on Sunday but didn't know what the unlocked price would be.

(I'm sure somebody there knows, but maybe they just don't want to tell me. Perhaps I'll try calling back tomorrow to see if I can be more persuasive.)
[Captivate General] systoxity:
I've also heard the price 350 in an awful lot of places. Seems like the best non contract deal out there... So, im still griped about the preorder, still i guess its a good thing so we can see if captivate users also have those gps and lag problems... I'm rather afraid of them.

I just dont want another att fuze experience :(
[Captivate General] cbk.o4:
So, I will hopefully be walking out of the AT&T store sunday at noon with a brand new off contract Samsung Captivate.

I am due for upgrade in October, but since this phone is so new I'm going to keep my upgrade and sell my phone around xmas if something better comes along. Can't wait to upgrade from my AT&T LG Shine lol.

Been a long time since I have been on these boards, loving the new theme and interface. Last time I was around I was working on my 8525 in which the radio died.

OH btw, does anyone have a site that is selling a case and screen protector yet? I want to try and get this bad boy into those as soon as possible. Gonna get an invisibleSHIELD when they design one for it.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Zagg/invisibleshields are garbage compared to the other cheaper, yet better performing skins. I've found that they have really bad cases of the orange peel effect, being waaaay to thick, and turning yellow faster than you can boot the phone. I'd suggest looking into other brands like ghost armor, gadget shieldz, or even bestskinsever. I had a full body skin on my Tilt 2 for the longest time with no issues after the invisibleshield peeled like crazy and was a pain to use the touchscreen with because it was so thick.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
i had zagg/invisishield on the fuze. It was very good but that phone is resistive and didnt have much going for it screen wise anyway. i couldn't imagine using such a thing on a capacitive super amoled..

Quick question, if you buy your phone instead of upgrading is your calling plan cheaper? if not why is buying unlocked phones all the rage? do people really go from provider to provider that much?

heh of course as soon as i ask that i look over at the android forums and the top thread reads "whats the advantage of buying it at 350 instead of upgrading". Rofl. here's the link if anyone else wants to know as well:

http://androidforums.com/samsung-captivate/118187-benefits-350-non-contract-price.html
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Uhmm. Why do you need an image, instead of telling people to see the facebook post? Oh, they removed it. Why would ATT remove that price if it wasn't wrong? Why would the other carriers do the same? I'm thinking samsung told them the wrong price. Smartphones aren't this cheap.

Invisi-shield is very good when you want to protect the screen, but the surface of it clings like rubber. It is very hard to slide your finger over it and the clarity isnt so good. It also peels and I have to keep using the lifetime warranty. I've managed to dent it but not scratch it. There's a big dent on mine that bends the screens light.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
This. For invisishield info. Mine never actually peeled tho but the rest sums it up perfectly. As for the price, its not impossible for it to be an error. It would be a real downer if it is though.
[Captivate General] okmft:
You are right; I stood in line for a couple of hours to get my iPhone 4, but took it back within the week due to reception issues and it not playing nicely with Google Voice. The Samsung Captivate seems to be a good choice since the common internal hardware (based on Galaxy S) will be on many carriers in the US and throughout the world, with plenty of interest in development for the device.
