[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack45:
Three phones later, I finally have an instrument that doesn't shut itself down. I'm convinced that it's not a software problem inherent to the unit, and not an installed app problem - otherwise there would be a silver bullet to be found within all the posts. I do believe it's a hardware issue and that the only way to receive satisfaction is through an exchange - either under the 30 day wire or via warranty. Not what you want to read, but as straight-forward as I can make it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSlo:
Mine didn't shut down at all yesterday. I charged it last night and shut off right after it was fully charged. Turned on first thing this morning and been on all day, just a little bit ago it shut down at 72% battery.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egolfer:
I believe it's my battery. I testing

my theory with an aftermarket battery. We'll see how the next few days go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSlo:
And not two hours later, it did it again!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singhman:
i had this problem with 3 different phones (vibrants), then someone said that it could be my sim card causing it. i bought a new sim card and it hasnt happened in 4 days now (i am not jumping for joy yet because this issue only happens to once every 3rd-5th day) i hope it was the sim.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Paladuck:
Although it may very well be a hardware issue, it seems like certain actions make the shutdowns occur less often? Samsung really needs to tell us wtf is going on.

I don't have it as bad as some other people here - my phone has only shutdown twice. The first time was the first day i had the phone, and second time was today. So 1 shutdown on day 1, and 1 shutdown on week 4. It is pretty unsettling though because I don't know whether to return it, fix it, or cope with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack45:
Less often? Once is too many in the event a family member needs you in an emergency or another important call is missed. I have nothing to gain from telling you to exchange it. You can't fix it. You shouldn't cope with it.

For others thinking it's an app, for the umpteenth time it's not app-related. Stop playing with yourselves thinking you can make it better and exchange the darn thing. Sheesh!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhushansc007:
Hi Guys,

No updates since last few days? Has the issue stopped happening?

May be that was a bad batch???

I have sent my phone back to wirefly after it shut down 6-7 times within couple of hours.

What about new buyers of Samsung Captivate? What about those who replaced it?

Please keep posting.

Thanks,

Bhushan
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Soulyat:
How can I see which GSM encryption mode (A5/0, A5/1..) is used on my android phone or how can I get access to this information?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] cbaltzer:
I suspect this is probably carrier dependent, and I doubt they'd tell you which was in use. There might be a way to tell from the phone, but if there is, I don't know how. Considering GSM encryption is weak/broken, I suspect it's hidden away as much as possible.
[HD2 General] concreteman:
There is a couple of things i used to be able to do.

1- when on a call and get another call, it used to pop up an option to drop existing call and accept new call - it won't let me do that now. i have to dismiss the call then call back, or accept call and other is on hold. This is a reall problem if i call someone, they don't answer, but call back while i am leaving message. If i accept new call, the voicemail call is on hold in background.

Also when i first got my phone, the appointment reminder would display the phone number of the appointment, which made it easy to call and say i was running late. it's disapeared - maybe when i updated stock rom with updated stock rom (hong kong I believe)

Anyone know how to restore hese functions? call waiting one very important.

Has anyone found a decent app that lets you send a document/email/photo to a printer, via bluetooth or wirelessly?

thanks!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] eec007:
If you have an HP printer then the HP iPrint Photo app on the market works well for printing phots directly through wifi. I haven't been able to find a solution though that will print everything without the need of a PC connected to the printer also.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] f3rrand:
Hah, i'm glad I can help someone. The perfect app for you is PRINTERSHARE. It's a paid app but if you search, you can find the apk.

Hi, on rooting my phone orange branded and im very stuck, im following the newbies guide to rooting on these forums, and im stuck on this bit

Open the file manager and find the FlashRec apk file and click it and choose open app manager and then install it.

I open the file manager, and go to the flashrec apk file but there is no option or whatever to open app manager and install it, im not sure what it means???.

other than that i understand the whole process, is flashrec missing app manager, or im i missing something, please any help would be much appreciated
[Hero, G2 Touch General] ticho:
There are several file manager applications available on the Market. Are you sure you have one that is able to install APKs? For example, OI File Manager is able to do that.

Hi, Im in UK, have signed up for a trial to compare the new MOG service to Spotify (Which I already have a sub for), however the MOG app wont show up in my market due to regional restrictions. How would I get the apk file for MOG? My N1 with Froyo isnt rooted, and I dont want it to be, but would be be some way around that regional restriction or some place to source the apk?
[Android Apps and Games] K2adir:
even if you get the APK, MOG will check for location and will not work again.

So you need to be rooted and chance your IP to any other county like USA

But maybe

If you just download Mog APK from some other website (not google play) and install it.

And than, connect to a internet with VPN app that might work too! you just need to give it a try

[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
Could someone give be a brief run down of the case types and attributes. Things like how thick they are, grip levels, impact protection, etc. I've seen tons of jell cases but not sure how jell compares to silicone or tpu and others.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
ok theres Silicone cases which are really grippy often flimsy and fit phones kind of loose, they offer really good protection but get stuck in your pocket and attract a **** load of lint, and also because they dont fit tight they let a lot of lint and dirt in between the case and phone

theres hard plastic cases. they come with the grippy matte(rubbery) like material that a lot of like HTC phone use on their back covers, and they also come painted with all sorts of designs and in solid colors and also come in clear, and transparent colors(like smoke and all the colors of the rainbow), these protect your phone very well but the downfall is dirt and sharp edges.

most of these cases are a bit of a ***** to get on and off and most people leave them on for a long long time only to find out that dirt and lint got in between the case and phone and left horrible rub marks all over the phone, not to mention that while flexing and moving the case tends to scratch the contact points on the phone also.

then theres my favorite Gel/Jelly/Crystal/TPU all of which are the same they are a hard rubberish case that in most cases are easy to remove and put on and fit the phone like a glove (not leaving a lot of room for dust and dirt to get in) not meaning that dirt doesn't get in but its minimal when compared to the other two types of cases. they protect your phone just as well as any other case, have moderate grip (not too grippy like the Silicone and not too little grip like the hard cases) i compare the feel to kind of like the invisible shield "kind of grip" they come in solid colors and in clear tints

Ive bought all of these cases before on multiple phones (G1, Mytouch, Nexus, HD 2) and I have given all of these a chance and no matter how many times i buy a hard case or a silicone case i always end up with a Gel/TPU case, they fit great add the least amount of bulk out of the three and have saved all of my phones from concrete and tile drops multiple times (almost **** my pants when i did it with my Nexus and HD2 though :eek:)

with all these cases your going to have to remove the case every once in a while to get the dust out that gets in between the case and phone (unless you like scratches on your phone) thats the common downside to all of these cases but in return you have the security that you wont crack or damage your phone and it will last you :D
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
Great write up, thanks.

So is there little difference between the Gel/Jelly/Crystal/TPU? Reason I ask is that I have the t-mo jell case right now and find it makes the phone too big. I am willing to lose some protection to get something a little thinner and did not know if one of the other materials would be a better fit.
[Vibrant Accessories] dmtaub:
I actually found that the T-Mo case is one of the better ones out there. It it not your normal flimsy rubber gel like I had with my HD2, but fits very snuggly and actually adds a little bit of weight to the phone, which makes it feel a little more solid. (once again, coming from an HD2 that was metal).

There are a couple of other threads about the cases, but most of them say the T-mo case is one of the better ones right now. Because the phones are new, there is not too much in the way accessories at this time.
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
that sounds kind of what i am looking for. so do they just have this one at t mobile stores? or are there several that i need to try to see which is which? the one you are describing, its not flimsly like those silicone gels?

also, what screen protector do you reccommend? I know there are other threads, but it sounds like you have tried many.

not trying to thread jack
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
Damn thread jackers... I kid.

Just an FYI and I know lots of popel love the t-mo case. Some pics to show how it increases the size of the phone. You can see a vibrant t-mo case, naked and G1.
[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
i played with the one my tmo store had when i purchased my phone and it seems way more sturdy and better quality than most (I hated the one that came with my HD2 that ***** was flimsy as hell) my only gripe with that case is the fat lip around the edge of the screen, other than that i like it, but TPU cases IMO add the least amount of thickness heres some pics to clear up names between the different type of cases

Heres a Silicone (like the one at the T-Mo store) T-mo's is way better in quality though

[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
Soooooo... theres also hybrid cases lol that mix both TPU and Silicone and that Mix hard Plastic and TPU

Hard Plastic and TPU

Silicone and TPU

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sIi9cbm7HxU

to explain the differences in TPU, SILICONE and PLASTIC :rolleyes:

TPU means Thermoplastic Urethane/Polyurethane BTW in case anyone was wondering (Sorry i just found out lol)

oh yeah and Silicone means BOOBIES lol
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
that looks really nice and protective. does look like it adds some size though. I think im going to check it out as I really want something right now and dont want to wait form something to ship from hong kong off ebay.

i know, off topic, but what screen protector are you using in the pics? do you like it? I know in the other thread people recommned the somthing freak, but I dont love the idea of putting water all over my new phone. Most say the protectors from tmobile store are dull and dull down your screen...
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
I still have the ones that came on the phone... Still trying to determine what to buy... given myself till the end of the week to decide.

On my G1 I use bodyguardz. I really liked it but two years have passed so I wanted to see if there was anything else that people liked. I would be happy to get bodyguardz again.
[Vibrant Accessories] down8:
Gel/jelly are the same as silicone cases (soft)- not the same as crystal/TPU cases (a bit harder).

[Vibrant Accessories] LatinSilEighty:
YOU DONT KNOW ****!!!!!!! lol j/k ok lets just call it TPU and Silicone to keep it simple

just ordered my TPU case with 3 screen protectors (you know since i have 3 screens) and three wipe cloths (in case i forget my hanky?) as you can see in the description its a "Silicone" TPU case, it must be a hybrid case? lol j/k Ebay descriptions misinform everyone

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=280537757969&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

when i "Google'd" Gel case and Jelly case and clicked on "images" a whole **** load of TPU cases came up BTW :eek:
[Vibrant Accessories] SykesAT:
^^^ that's what got me kind of confused cause eBayers can list their products as multiple materials and only when you get in and read the fine print does it clarify what it is exactly. I was about to buy the exact one you bought but the buy it now price jumped to $43 as I was going though the checkout process...

thanks for everyone's help with this. Last night I bought a cheapy (link) to hold me over till there are more options.
[Vibrant Accessories] kboater:
finally went to the t moble store and got their case. its the same as the one a few posts back that has pictures. I do like it, but wish it fit just a little more snug. im coming from a mytouch that had a snap on hard shell, so im used to them fitting tight. this will do for now. thanks for the info :)

now, guess ill order the clearfreaks screen protector from ebay... not thrilled, but dont see to many other "good" options at this point
[Vibrant Accessories] inksid:
is it true that the silicon type of cases doesnt allow the heat to dissipate and heats up the device ?
[HD2 General] Ghost_ghost123:
Does anybody else find that this app does not give you everything that should be available to you?

For example, when someone 'likes' a status it will not show up in your notificatiins and you therfore have to go to the mobile website which kind of defeats the objective of an app.

Has anybody got another app that will work better on the HD2?

Dare I say it .... like the dreaded sheep followed 'iPhone'?

Quite an infuriating aspect of the situation.
[HD2 General] taita:
i agree with you. the iphone facebook app, it´s soooo much better than this one on the HD2.

I have both

[HD2 General] crash_194:
there's a guy on here developing his own facebook app isn't there? I remember seeing it a while ago. Hopefully it will come to fruition as i totally agree with the sentiments that the current FB app for WM majorly sucks ass! lol
[HD2 General] Ghost_ghost123:
Not strong enough mate! lol
[HD2 General] nzxtneo:
They do have the occasional update to Facebook in the Marketplace, so be sure to keep that in mind.

But, I am betting they are holding off any major updates until WP 7. Most of the development for a lot of the apps on WinMo 6 is stopping and shifting to WP 7. I guess we all shall see how WP 7 pans out by years end. Hopefully MS doesn't let us down!

hey guy HTC Snap s510 will not turn on. it gets frozen at the smart mobility page. I have tried hard resetting but it doesnt work. i have tried a bunch of different SPL installers but the get through the step, then when it comes time to install the firmware it wont get past 0%. Right now i just want a way to get my device back up and running with or without WM 6.5. thanks and i am really looking forward to getting this fixed. and if you tell me to searth through threads for answers i just spent over 8 hours searching the web for answers and i am about to give up.:(:(:(

Moved to general as not rom development.

Have U tried any method of the unbricking tutorial . Try it.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kahicir:
I am not sure as to the recovery of the phone itself as I have no experience with that as of yet.

I do want to confirm for you though, Ozone(Cedar) HardSPL as well as [ROM][CEDA/OZONE][WWE][* 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM6.5 STD 21854][Build 3VO.2.00.122209] are working with my Telus S510. Hope you are successful in the recovery of the phone, I will post if I come across anything I think may be helpful.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] ThePigletWhisperer:
So did u manage to unbrick it?

Made any progress

Please share if u have

: )

I have exactly the same problem, if somone knows how to fix this, please help
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Sarimster:
I got through that guide as well, but when it comes time to flash the rom, it hangs at 0% and then gives me error 262. I go through recovery but it still doesn't work. I dont have hardSPL either, is there any way to get HardSPL from bootloader? Also, when i try task 28 in mtty again, i get :

Format start

Fill RSVD information for block 351 to 384

TAG NOT FOUND !!! NOT CLEAR STORAGE !!!

Format end

also, the telus rom you can get from a search.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] ThePigletWhisperer:
hm... Thats weird

i cant find the telus rom

I can only find the raw form, and i think you need to cook it or smthn

Anyway, if it doesnt work for you, it wont work for me either, cause we are having exactly the same problem.

It would be awesome if we can Install hard spl from bootloader.

But no1 seems to be able to help us.

We are the only users who are bothering to reply as it seems.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] kahicir:
Is it an official signed rom you need or the recooked raws? (Not sure how successful I'll be but if it can help I will see if I can recook them.) As for the official signed rom, I haven't been able to find one myself as of yet. :(
[Dash 3G, Snap General] ThePigletWhisperer:
we need the official telus signed rom

Because we didnt hard spl our phones, we're stack.

So either the official signed rom, or we need to find a way to hard spl our phones through the tricolor bootloader

Any ideas?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] steevz:
I'm stuck at the same with with my Mobilicity Snap. I went through the HardSPL and it said everything was successful but now my phone is bricked because I failed to notice SPL 1.24 still on the tri color screen. I also would like to know if there is a way to use MTTY, some other tool, or get hardspl onto the phone through the bootloader. HardSPL hangs on 0% from the boot loader for me.

Also tried MTTY task 28, task 29, reboot, reflash to no avail.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Sarimster:
We all seem to have the same problem, I'm surprised it hasn't been addressed yet.

but i would like to know other exclusions or options that we can choose, specifically on how to choose a default folder only to scan.
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Create a folder with a dot at the beginning. I'll look for the link later.
[Captivate General] TexUs:
? How's that prevent other folders from showing up though?
[Captivate General] Symmetric:
I've finally got all of my album art out of my gallery, it seems that there were TONS or .jpg's per album (up to 6). I deleted a bunch of "follder.jpg" and a bunch of "album art.jpg" there were also quite a few <album name>_front.jpg.

Delete anything that's not containing "albumart" (one word) and you should be all set.

Thanks for the heads up on the albumart string!
[Captivate General] TexUs:
Actually I found out, if your album art is appended to the file itself (like it should be).

You can safely just do a "del c:\music\*.jpg /s" (or wherever your music folder is at from Windows) and it'll delete all the crap for you.
[Captivate General] zaures:

[Captivate General] jsmith8858:
folder.jpg files should be fine, you can leave those in there, they don't show up in the album.
