Hello, I got hold of an HTC G1 but it seems like it's bricked. When I turn on the phone it shows the T-Mobile G1 screen then boots into recovery every time, even though I never press the home button. Looks like this phone boots into hboot by holding the return button instead of the photo one, is that normal? I tried restoring the phone with the DREAIMG.nbh but when it instructs me to press the send button or any other key to cancel nothing happens. When I am in the recovery mode the keys seem to work as I can alt+s and alt+w. Is there some way I can fix this or might this be a bad keys/buttons case?

Thanks for reading.

EDIT: Sorry, I just noticed I posted in the wrong section. Mods please move/delete the thread, thanks.
[Captivate Accessories] DirtyRasa:
Hey everyone,

I'm planning on buying a car charger for my phone soon as I take a lot of road trips and now that I finally have a phone with navigation I thought this would be really handy to have.

My question is: What is the best cell phone charger? What should I be looking for? I hear that some chargers can burn out the battery if left in for too long.

Also, I'd like a charger that would be able to power my ipod as well.

Thanks!

Edit:

I was browsing around and saw this one:

http://www.amazon.com/Scosche-Dual-USB-Car-Charger/dp/B000RYSU7O/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Comments on it?
[Captivate Accessories] Battlehymn:
Look in the captivate general thread for this discussion ...
[Captivate Accessories] DirtyRasa:
Why would this be in general? this is an accessory is it not..?
[Captivate Accessories] Battlehymn:
the only thing I can say about that is ...

The answer your question is there regardless.

The answer to your question is a bit more involved than yes or no, and involves USB standards.

Perhaps it should be moved ... not my call to make.
[Captivate Accessories] Citznfish:
i just bought this

for $8 not bad
[Captivate Accessories] elonbtone:
I got mine free from Wal-mart when I bought my captivate and it does a good job of charging it.
[Captivate Accessories] jhego:
Got this same exact one and a blackberry micro usb charger. Works great.
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
For the love of God don't cheap out... Been there, done that, don't waste the $$$.

[Captivate Accessories] phishie:
You haven't by chance verified that the $1.70 cable fits well in the Captivate slot?

I only ask because I have a mini-to-micro USB adapter I'm using with a mini USB cable right now and it appears to fit in fine. Unfortunately in reality the plastic around the male piece blocks it from slotting in fully and I have to fiddle with it to ensure it's in well enough to charge. Moving the phone in the slightest can dislodge it and sever the connection.

I'd like to buy this cable to work with my current home/car USB chargers but wanted to make sure it wouldn't have the same issue.

I can't post a URL yet so replace x's with t's to see my illustration: hxxp://imgur.com/TCi5h.jpg
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
Yea... I've used them to both sync and charge my phone and they work fine.

Moving the phone around won't cause it to come out.
[Captivate Accessories] phishie:
Thanks, most appreciated!
[Captivate Accessories] chvybeatsford:
Got mine from best buy. Might not b the best but u can get the wall charger and a car charger for 30 made by best buy brand rocketfish.
[Captivate Accessories] Citznfish:
never had a prob with cheap chargers before. They come with chips to prevent over charging...
[Captivate Accessories] TexUs:
It's not the over charging that's the problem, it's the functioning ;)
[Captivate Accessories] NeilQ:
AT&T not as good as Samsung

I bought the AT&T branded Captivate car charger at the AT&T store, but I've noticed that it doesn't fit into the phone's slot as smoothly as the wall charger that came with the phone. Because of battery power decrease problems, I've just ordered another wall charger from the Samsung website (for use at work) instead of getting a 'generic' one from AT&T.
[Captivate Accessories] Jack45:
I looked at this baby in an AT&T corporate store after popping open the package. There is no indication whatsoever about the mA. Forget asking a store clerk. They look at you like a deer in headlights.
[Captivate Accessories] alex72:
I bought Motorola P513 rapid rate car charger from Amazon and it's perfect fit. Now on sale for $5.85. Btw it's 950mAh.
[Captivate Accessories] votum:
I just bought a random car lighter plug with a USB slot, and use my cable that came with the phone in the car. Its a little long but its the only one that fits well. I use my cable from an old bb in the house. Cheap iPhone car mount and that charger looks fairly nice
[Captivate Accessories] Battlehymn:
I've got a griffin powerjolt dual ... works like a champ. I do not believe that it is a rapid charger and that it only puts out the USB2 standard 500mA per port. I personally do not like rapid chargers as I've seen problems with them in the past ... but ymmv.
[Captivate Accessories] wildkarrde21:
I just got mine as well. Fits right in. The glowing Motorola logo is kind of annoying though.
[Captivate Accessories] bwolmarans:
The curly spiral cable car chargers suck for this phone because they pull down too much, and with the charger slot at the top of the phone, it's a no go for Portrait.

Too bad froyo won't allow the phone to work upside down.

Why sumsung, why? What were those meetings like were you decided to put the usb port at the top?
[Captivate Accessories] narfzz:
I saw your post in the general forum about charger output. My question is does the kind of wire really matter for a 500mA usb plug? I have a Logitech wire for a rechargeable mouse and it fits fine on the phone, so I was thinking of buying that Griffin one that was posted earlier to use with that wire. I'm just mainly worried about overcharging and ruining the battery. I would think it shouldn't matter.

ETA: When it's charging through the computer, does it know when to stop charger? (Okay, this may be a stupid question. I'm just wondering.)
[Captivate Accessories] Deusx Machina:
I second the Motorola P513 rapid rate car charger, I've been using it for a week and its great
[Captivate Accessories] Shwiggie:
I'm using the cheap-o Durabrand car charger I bought at Walmart two-and-a-half years ago for my former phone (Motorola V9 RAZR2). Works like a top and cost nothing. For that matter, my shiny new Captivate works just find with the old V9 wall charger.
[Captivate Accessories] Battlehymn:
When you say "wire" I assume you are talking about the USB cable. If that is the case then, no, USB cables are all pinned the same and any of them should work. Actually, they should work for rapid charging also @1-1.8A.

Just make sure you have a USB to MICRO USB cable, I have seen people who didn't know any better try to jam a USB Mini plug into their phone.
[Captivate Accessories] Jack45:
I'd like to watch that in action.:p
[Vibrant General] romanonly:
They were syncing fine before I did a factory reset, now they just say 'sync is temporarily down, it will be back up shortly'.

I've rebooted, tried deleting and recreating the accounts, neither worked.

Any ideas why this is happening after a factory reset?
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Honestly it just takes some time. A lot of people had this error, including me. If you wait a day or two it usually just fixes itself. That is what happened with me. And even now sometimes when Facebook syncs, it gives me that error, but usually tries again in a couple of hours and decides to work.

Once it can connect to the server though, you may find that it doesn't grab your contacts. If this happens, go to the main contacts page and hit Menu>Get Friends. You should be able to select the account and manually add people. If the account is listed but grayed out, it means that it hasn't yet been able to even connect to the server.
[Vibrant General] romanonly:
Well, its been more than 24 hrs, but I'll wait another day or two. :-\
[Vibrant General] johnnycs:
I don't have twitter, but I have the same issue with fb. Has not sync'd since friday.
[Vibrant General] romanonly:
Mine started syncing again, but I did have to use the 'get friends' to pull my contacts into my address book.
[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
I had this issue on the first day. It initially got my Facebook friends then seemed to lose them somewhere and wouldn't get them again. I actually deleted my Facebook profile and put the info in again and it worked. Redoing the facebook settings takes all of 30 seconds so it seems to be the quickest fix.
[Vibrant General] Etrnaly:
Try this fix I got somewhere else. It worked for me after a few tries.

1. Remove your Facebook account on your phone.

2. Go to the Facebook webpage and go to your Application Settings.

3. Remove "Samsung Mobile."

4. Wait a few minutes and add your Facebook account again.

Something else I tried, which may or may not have helped was turning on the auto sync when adding the Facebook account.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] alphamancer:
Hello all,

Before I get the standard turn off your wifi warning, it is already turned off. I have tried using GSM modes and 3G and neither are delivered MMS messages (I have a data plan and an unlimited messaging plan, so that is not the issue.)

What I believe the issue is after reflashing the ROM with what seems to be a fantstic ROM, I have no GSM servers listed in SMS/MMS settings. So.. my question is this. What are the GSM servers so that I can plug them in manually? I don't know where to look for that information, and have tried searching the forums with no luck.

My information..

Provider: AT&T (CT)

ROM: Josh's Professional Rom: full (I would of posted the link to the ROM but I guess my account has yet to be verified to do so :P)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
I just flashed the nightly build last night and when I flashed I was in roaming and now my roaming notification will no go away its always saying in in roaming. My question is do I need to wipe an reflash while nit in roaming for it to disappear?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
always wipe if you have a problem with a rom and you know its been fixed
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
Well everything else works completely fine. Its just that roaming icon but I don't wanna reflash just to get rid of that one little problem is there a way I could could get rid of it without reflashing I'm on an evo by the way
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
there was an some adb comands to fix it in the thread but easiest way is to wipe and reflash
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
Yea then I would have to reset all of screens up again n ****
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
you can save adw screens and settings to your sd card in the menu
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
small price to pay for a good EXPERIMENTAL ROM
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
No I don't get me wrong I live this rom its badass couldn't ask for anything better...doing that will keep my screens with my apps setup the way they were before I reflash the rom
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
And will I need to flash the radio and Google apps again or just wipe factory wipe cache and flash the rom or will I need to to do everything again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 702DROID:
jusr rom and gapps.....radio is not needed to reflash
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
Ok thanks ill give it a try and tell u if it works for me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddaratt:
I tried to reflash but the roaming indicator was still there so I flashed the new one that came out today and it worked beautifully thanks
[Droid X General] synplex:
OK so I switch from an Evo 4g hoping to get much better fps, but most games are lagging horribly.

Games Like Need for Speed,Raging Thunder 2 and Dungeon Hunter.

At times I think I'm getting burst of speed around 35+, but most of the time it looks about >20 fps. Is it that massive bloat ware slowing me down or is it the droid X OMAP not handling the games well?

Wheres the +60FPS dammit :rolleyes:
[Droid X General] mavermc:
You could try making sure no apps are running with some kind of task manager and make sure under settings and battery you have it set to hi performance,

Part of the slowdown has to do with the GPU, if you watch the videos where they bench the nexus 2.2 inc and X you'll see that because of the dedicated gpu on the X it scores much higher, but if you what the footage on the x you'll notice 2 things, 1 it freezes at a point, and this wasn't just that one test i've repeated and have the same freeze happen on my x as well as a droid (in the same spot) which makes sense both GPUs for the droid and x are the same.

As well you can notice that it doesn't properly render the shadow of the tree, my guess is the gpu can't figure out how to use the graphical data. (so if it's not even displaying the imagine at full quality or detail i'd imagine it have a bit of a leg up on speed)

So those are things to keep in mind, i shut down all my apps and in smart mode for the battery. NFS runs pretty well. maybe try a reboot
[Droid X General] synplex:
Thanks for the reply :)

I have Task Killer's autokill set to Crazy, and I have reboot about 3 times today. I never notice the X has Battery modes (thanks for that tip), but I set mine to Performance Mode and it helped a bit. Anyone know what exactly the different battery modes alter?

Also I have also ran 2 GPU/FPS speed test app and got decent to great scores so I figure it has to be something running i the background that task Killer cant kill or doesn't see.

... guess I'll have to learn how to root this thing and Remove some bloat.:rolleyes:
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
If there is anything that my x doesn't lag in its the games. I mean this thing plays the need for speed shift like crazy. Like as good as my ps3 lol. I think that there was an early batch of x's that went out that r buggy. Hopefully the 2.1 with blur that we have is just a placeholder for 2.2 that is to come. I think that we will see it about the same time as they launch droid 2. Its the same hardware except there are a few things that the x actually has that are better. Hope u figure out ur issues. I know that my quadrant scores are rediculous and mine runs games flawlessly. I average about 1250 on quadrant im assuming that is about normal foe these phones. Anyway goodluck
[Droid X General] gerelee:
i have to agree, while games played well on my mytouch slide 3g, games on my droid x just fly...no lag, either!
[Droid X General] Roland Deschain:
Try setting the task manager to something below crazy. Disable it altogether to test with and see if performance improves :)
[Droid X General] ksizzle9:
There are alot of apps that show ur FPS in 2D and 3D and after trying them and watching a couple of videos on youtube i've concluded that the x blows everything made away. I watched a vid with the EVO N1 and x and the only thing that the x lost to benchmark wise was the N1 linpack. And of course it has froyo. Once we get froyo id bet this thing will be so fast u will want it to be slower. I would also bet that froyo will have much less bugs considering that when droid 2 comes out that's what it will have and it will be much more complete. Froyo, ahhhh.
[Droid X General] hijackerjack:
Idont think its going to get insane linpack scores though. I think the snapdragon just hanndles processes a little bit better than the omap, that's why our raw operation test scores are low, although the phone is fast. Insane quadrant scores, yes. Linpack, no.
[Droid X General] temperbad:
Linpack for n1 2.1 was only 6.... with 2.2 its 40 Ish.

Droid x on 2.1 is 8 to 9, so on 2.2 it should kill, like 45 to 50

..
[Droid X General] temperbad:
Don't blow SG series away.... but there close.. sgs and Droid x ftw

is this compatible with a SQVGA 320x320 resolution? and lastly im using imarche skin, using both in mobile shell would be ok right?

[Vibrant General] exoplasm:
I have one specific contact that gives me a FC when I try to view/edit it. I can't figure out what would cause that. I can edit it from GMail and nothing looks out of the ordinary there.

Any ideas?

here is the logcat: pastebin.com/j90SAwuv

See image for error.

Edit: Solved!
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Is there a special character in the name? A hypen or an apostrophe? I heard the contact app sometimes gets tripped up over this.
[Vibrant General] exoplasm:
No, just a plain normal first and last name. I didn't have this problem on my G1 with or without CyanogenMod (that I remember anyway). :(
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
I would try deleting the contact from your phone, then deleting it from wherever it is syncing from. Then re-add and see what happens. If you cannot delete it from the phone itself if it's FCing constantly, try deleting it from the server and re-sync the phone, it should remove it.
[Vibrant General] lemarg:
I was told that if you have any notes in your contacts that it would fc.

That was from a tmo rep
[Vibrant General] exoplasm:
Hmm. I don't know if I had any notes in that contact, but I can't check now since I've already deleted it and re-created it.

Well, the issue is solved for now.
[Vibrant General] johnnycs:
FYI: I have notes on almost all my Google contacts and none of them cause FC's.
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
I remember reading something about this, there is a known issue involving the contact having a picture and having a birthday set but having no year and every time you view the contact the contacts app will force close. I'm not clear on the details but I remember those being the key point.

Edit: I was able to fully replicate the issue, just have to add a contact through gmail without a year on the birthdate and tack on a photo and you'll see the problem. Of course this may not be your issue, you may be having a separate problem, I'm interested in hearing if this fits your situation.
[Vibrant General] exoplasm:
That's exactly what the problem was. I had day and month, but no year for that contact's birthday. There was also a contact pic set from GMail. An interesting bug!

Deleting the contact and then setting it up on my phone prevents this problem. Android forces you to specify a year and it picked up the photo from facebook.
[Nexus One General] Blueman101:
Do you mean ATT? Anyway good story.

Oops, must have missed the UK part in my initial read through.
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
Nah...ATT is U.S only. Only T-Mobile sells the iPhone4 over here in Germany, and only Vodafone has the Nexus One.
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Of course they don't give a crap about phones like a geek does. All she wants is to make the commission off of the sale. It's her job, not a hobby like it is for people like us. So of course they will kick you out if You interfere with their business making money.
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
WRONG. First rules of sales are "ABC" (always be a closer) and KNOW YOUR PRODUCT LIKE THE BACK OF YOUR HAND. She didnt, and at the same time SHE DOGGED MY PHONE. Thats the ONLY reason I said anything. If she would have known her product like she should, firstly she wouldnt have tried to sneak a low blow on my Nexus, and more importantly she would have had ALOT more features she could have named to defend their most popular product.

Edit: And the fact that I like to know what I pay damn near 550 U.S dollars for doesnt make me a geek. I like to know what I invest my money in, and at the same time I like to know the competition and the alternatives :)
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I didn't know people actually did that irl.
[Nexus One General] Dai323:
Didnt actually do what exactly? Argue with a salesman?
[Nexus One General] C.Slater:
I guess she's used to people who want the iPhone to be the types that are just dazzled by the design and taken in by the marketing.

Still, your mate made the right choice in the end :)
[Nexus One General] walie:
you sounded like a douche there
[Nexus One General] flappjaxxx:
Heh. Agreed!
[Nexus One General] RogerPodacter:
Dude all she wanted to do was make the commission money. The iPhone has one of the higher commission for the sales person out of any other phone. To her its just some stupid job that pays her bills, not some smartphone war between geeks.
[Nexus One General] diversificationied:
I didn't realized there were volunteer spokepeople for products, let alone get into it with a salesperson trying to earn a buck.
[Nexus One General] liam.lah:
Yeah, she wants to make a commission, so what? His friend wanted to get a value for money smartphone. He probably wouldn't have if you were there.
[Nexus One General] worker1:
If I were the sales person I'd say something like "I don't go to your job and knock the d!cks out of your mouth!"
[Nexus One General] uansari1:
Look everyone... the OP has a point. She should have done her homework instead of B.S.'ing his friend "to make a buck". Since she didn't... a Vodaphone salesperson made a buck instead. That's capitalism.

OP, I don't think you were a douche... you didn't whip out your phone until your friend asked about screen size, and you didn't really diss the iPhone so much as you simply pointed out that your 6 month old N1 could do the same. You're fine...don't listen to these guys.
[Nexus One General] typ_ex:
i dont get what everybody's deal is, "trying to make a buck". Know your god damn product and sell it well. its not like he did it to be a ****. she asked.
