[Captivate General] ZenInsight:
I would imagine that the pngs are referencing some .xml file telling them order and names to run in on startup and shutdown so I bet you should have the exact same number of files and naming convention. But..I could be wrong.
[Captivate General] lascahobas:
How do you go about removing read-only for these files?
[Captivate General] 98XJ:
In root explorer at the top of the directory there is a little gray button that says r/w. Click that..

On a side note I tried to replace poweron.wav in continuum v4 and there is still no bootsound. There wasnt one that would play since day one of flashing the rom. Not sure if its disabled by default or what. I went into the onix kernel tweaks and tried clicking on enable bootsound and even still im stuck with silent startup... Any ideas?
[Captivate General] rscheller:
Hey, after reading this thread, I noticed the start up sound file is a wav file. Why then will my Captivate not natively play wav files?

BTW - Silent Boot keeps the boot up sounds quiet but not shut down sounds.
[Captivate General] Bust it:
Use sgs tools, you can kill boot and shut down sounds with that.

[Captivate General] scandiun:
Thank you, that worked on my SGS2
[Captivate General] user109:
Hey 98XJ, thanks to enlighten me.. :good: :victory: I was struggled to use the root explorer to rename the file. I have succeeded to rename the poweron.wav so it won't sound when I booted my phone. Now my phone so quiet. :cool:
[Captivate General] vkisyov:
Is working tnx dude
[Captivate General] NM:
Many thanks for this tip... Except that on my N7105, the situation is a little bit different : I have no shutdown sound... Only an annoying start up sound... And to get rid of it, I had to go to the /system/media/audio/ui directory and rename PowerOn.ogg into PowerOn.ogg.bak... At last... ;)
[Captivate General] ethereal_mist:
Thanks a lot man!
[Captivate General] q_dmc12:
Renamed file extension, still plays

I have read many forums and tutorials on how to disable the startup song on my Captivate, they all say pretty much the same thing. I have renamed my PowerOn.wav to PowerOn.wav.bak in the /etc directory yet it still plays on boot. Any assistance on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks:)
[Captivate General] NM:
Hi! Have you tried the app Silent Boot?

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.antweb.silentboot&hl=fr
[Captivate General] q_dmc12:
Honestly, one more app running in the background isn't really what my phone needs, if anything I'd like a peek at it's source code to see exactly what's going on. I feel there must be another location where the bootup audio file is stored or perhaps a different format. Another thing that's odd, I can't seem to find the same file that's playing at boot (when I try opening the "PowerOn.wav" in a music player I get a couple moments of silence, then the wav is over. I have also given a listen to "1_Power_on.ogg" and this sound is similar but not the same and not as long as the song that I hear when I turn-on the phone). Even a config file would be helpful at this point... As I write this I'm exploring the /etc folder and found the script file, "init.golfish.sh" which makes mention of a line of code to disable boot animation "for a faster boot sequence when needed". If there is a similar file for disabling or perhaps even changing the bootup song that would be great.

I'll give Silent Boot a look.

[HD2 General] Im Packing:
Ok, after having an Xperia X1 I gave in finally to the HD2. Man is it fast. I've already HSPL, Task 29, and flashed it with Energy ROM. My problem is everything works as it should including the storage card, but after I start playing around with it and it resets it stops recognizing the storage card. If I perform a hard reset, it recognizes it. If I go to boot loader it recognizes it. But after a couple soft resets stops recognizing it. What problems should I look in to in trying to resolve this?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] rp-x1:
Try removing it, booting the HD2, then switching it off and pop the card back in, does it still not see it?

Is the card the one that came with your phone?
[HD2 General] watcher64:
If it is a stock SD card, then get it replaced, they suck. I had to get a new one before I walked out of the store .......
[HD2 General] Im Packing:
Still doesn't recognize it.

And no, it's not the stock card. It's a Sandisk 16 GB. I heard the stock cards weren't any good. But even with playing with both cards it still doesn't recognize it. This is very frustrating.

Could there be a possiblility of it being a ROM problem? I'll be honest and admit that I didn't even test it when it was stock. I just charged it and did the procedures to flash it and revert to the ROM that I'm use to on my Xperia. Or could it be a faulty phone?
[HD2 General] anrabi4:
It might be a faulty phone, but you should try different ROMs, see where that brings you.

EDIT: Lots of ppl have trouble with 16GB cards, but if you say that you have the same issues with the stock one, then...
[HD2 General] Im Packing:
My Xperia recognizes both cards, but the HD2 doesn't anymore. I even reformatted the both cards to FAT32 and both were recognized. So I copied some programs over and installed them...soft reset, and now it's not recognized again. I'm getting frustrated. I found that another member has stated that his class 2 didn't work, but class 4 did. But I thought Classes don't affect whether it's recognized or not, but the read/write speed?
[HD2 General] halfheartbreak:
dude try this, I've been doing this a couple of times and it works for my T8585. You insert it into a card reader then plug it to your computer. Most often a message appears on your computer screen telling you to fix your card (I use windows 7) but just ignore it. Then copy all the files in your card to your computer, plug it out and insert it into your phone. You can try and tell me whether it works for you.

[General Questions and Answers] Purple Drama Llama:
Okay, try uninstalling activsync. Re-download and re-install Activsync (remember for XP only, Vista and Seven get WM Device Center) then go through the setup. Plug in your HD2 via USB it should connect. Then, press the syn button at the top right corner I believe. It's been a while since I've used it since i'm now using Android but I believe it should still be the same! :D

Did this mod today, very pleased with the way it turned out.

Just changed a couple things, I used a junior hack saw to trim the end bits off the mount and then a stanley blade to trim the burrs left behind from the hacksaw to tidy it up.

I also used Velcro instead of double sided tape for a less permanent fixture. The cotton fibres in the velcro may also aid to shock absorption between mount and case.

Mount is rock solid even over bumps.

Fantastic, thanks OP!
[Desire Accessories] robbiekhan:
Good stuff dude!

Surprised the velcro is stable over bumps though! In my car velcro would never stand a chance!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] krolla03:
So according to Phonscoop.com Tmobile offically launched HSPA+. Apparently its in 50 markets.

So whoes got it? What kind of speeds are you getting. I have in my city.

Im getting 2.025mb/s Down and 601kbps/sec up
[myTouch 3G Slide General] T1 Connect:
about 3 to 6mbps because you most likely have a device that can only do 7.2 megabites per second until a hspa+ device is available at the end of this summer. Max theoretical speed should be 21mbps, but thats going to be next year when tmobile lets the 42mbps network go into place.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] megan23247:
My speed test says im getting 5007 download and 1583 upload..Not bad. It used to stay around 3500 DL.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
The slide will support higher than 7.5 MB correct?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] GeekBrat:
The way I understand it; the slide will be limited tp 7.2mbps spped. They have to install a hatdware upgrade to the towers to support HSPA+ at 42mbps and that will require a different radio.

I know its not the same; but think of it like sprint. You need a 4G phone (EVO) to get WiMax 4G network service.

If I'm wrong; someone pleae correct me (but politely).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
I genuinely hope you are because I explicitly asked the rep if this phone would support the new HSPA+ and of course the response was "Yes"!

You cannot compare Sprint because they went from 3G to 4G and that required a change in hardware both at the towers and the device. Tmobile HSPA+, from what I researched, only requires hardware upgrades on the towers and firmware updates to the newer 3G devices. I would be highly pissed if this isn't the case!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] krolla03:
The rep told me too that the Slide would support HSPA+ From all the articals though i do not think this is 100% ture. But 7.2mb/s is fast enough for me on a phone.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
Sounds like we spoke to the same rep!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] krolla03:
i also asked tech support from the 1800 number too. They said the slide would support it up to 15mb/sec. We'll have to see. Right now i am happy with my 2+mb/sec speeds
[myTouch 3G Slide General] sandpaperback:
The way I've understood it is that phones like the Slide will see improvements in speed, but since they are not HSPA+ phones, you won't get the full benefit.

The plus side is that you won't need a new phone and you'll see faster speeds. Downside is that people with a new phone will see faster speeds. :-)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] krolla03:
I think you are right on this.

But if i get speeds of 5-7mb/s on my phone i will be more then happy. Esp if im already happy with my 2mb+/s speeds.

I really dont think that anyone needs 15mb/s on a phone. With speeds like that the phone then becomes the bottleneck.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
The T-Mobile twitter also told me it was an HSPA+ phone...
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
All I'm saying is that I don't expect the full HSPA+ speed, but I do expect faster than 7.2 Mbs!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] jdkoreclipse:
is hspa+ like wimax or lte (4g)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
In respect to increased speeds, yes but that is it. HSPA+ utilizes the current Tmobile's 3G network and is really fast. Theoretically the top speed is less then the other two but it is significantly cheaper and easier to rollout HSPA+.

All I get in my town is Edge :(

At home I pretty much barely get any signal so I end up using WIFI alot.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
bits, not bytes. 8 megabits per second = 1 megabyte per second if I'm not mistaken.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Dallasalien:
HSPA+ as an extension of HSPA is backward compatible with HSPA. Only HSPA+ devices will see speeds greater than 7.2mb, but you can use a HSPA phone on an HSPA+ network in the same way you can use an edge phone on a 3g network.

All android devices from T-Mobile have an HSPA internal modem, they don't currently sell a phone with an HSPA+ modem and you will not see speeds exceeding 7.2mb on a slide as it has an HSPA modem.

T-mobile is rumored to be announcing their first HSPA+ phone late this summer, suspected to be an HTC vanguard.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] shadowmike:
now its not average nor 100% consistant. but here in cleveland ohio im seeing 600+KB/s (KILOBYTES) or 4.7 - 5 Mb/s. I average between 200 - 500 KB/s

And had to perform the death grip test. Speed was taken after death grip was applied for 15 seconds. as in apples vidoes the average is 11 seconds into the video
[myTouch 3G Slide General] nbetcher:
I didn't say anything about bits/bytes in my message. But 8Mb/sec is roughly 1MB/sec. I say roughly because 8Mb is actually 7.8125MB/sec since there are 1024 bytes in one kilobyte and 1 byte is 8 bits. :)
[myTouch 3G Slide General] migueltherocker:
I know :) I wasn't clarifying for you, I was doing it for everyone else. I don't want people to go crazy thinking they're going to get almost 8 megaBYTE per second download speeds.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] shadowmike:
this is the reason why I believe Mb should NEVER be used. If everyone used its KB equivalent, ppl will never be confused.

Cable operators are notorious for confusing customers with download speeds saying their dsl (att) or cable is 10X faster than dial up through out a Mb number and ppl have to assume its fast because only a select few out of the population of the world even knows what a Bit and or Byte are... they might think your talking about eating..
[myTouch 3G Slide General] elliotshoe:
@shadowmike

I noticed your data icon was 3g and not H even though you are getting H speeds. Can anyone clarify that you can get HDSPA+ speeds even though you're on 3g or is that icon just not updated. Some people have reported getting the H icon on their phones.

Also, I live in LA and Irvine during the week; both cities listed under the HDSPA+ list. However, I've never seen these awesome speeds!

[myTouch 3G Slide General] heygrl:
The myTouch Slide will benefit from the increase in backhaul. Not one person needs anything more than 7.2 HSPA. It's really nice to have but you won't notice the difference especially since the higher up you go, the further you fall.. I wouldn't be surprised if the new HSPA+ phone gets only a marginal speed increase over the existing 7.2HSPA devices. It's the same story for the HSPA+ Rocket, there isn't a big speed increase.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] dynamikd:
I heard the rocket gets between 9 to 11Mbps! That is a big increase in speed from the 5 - 7Mbps w/o hspa+.
