Have you tried the following:

- Press the camera button

- Press 5 sec the soft-reset button (keep the camera button on).

- Release the soft-reset but keep the camera button pressed for few second...

YOu should see the boot mode again otherwise ... your Phone is DEAD :-(

Cheers,

Email sync/slowness issue

I have my Captivate to automatically retieve emails every 15 mins but it does not, I have to go into email account and select refresh.

Also it is very slow when retieving/deleting email.

is anyone else having any issues?
[Captivate General] xiaoali:
Im definitely having the same issue. My email will also sometimes tel

l me i have email when i don't. Its a little aggravating.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
Try a factory reset. It was taking SO long to push some emails from an account that is relatively empty so I just had about enough of that and decided to do a reset and everything is peachy. Instantly the emails started to load up into the inbox and 5 seconds later it was done.. Amazing!
[Captivate General] floppy__:
I have the same problem. Any other than a factory reset? because reinstalling everyting and reconfigure all my phone that's a bummer.
[Captivate General] MSHampton:
I agree. Got a weeks worth of time invested in getting this thing set up and programs installed (and paid for).
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
Mine too doesnt do anything until I go into the mail program. It wont even save my changes I make in the email settings. I set mine to automatic, so they arrive as soon as i get an email, but it keeps going back to the 15 and 30 minute settings. This is my only issue with the phone.

Can someone who has done a hard reset try saving their settings to automatic, go into task killer , kill the email program and go back into email and see if it saved??
[Captivate General] madjsp:
Instead of using the "email" program I use the "gmail" built in program and I get instant emails. But then again, I use gmail.
[Captivate General] candymann:
Same here. I use gmail for my personal account but for work I use the regular mail app on the phone. I also set up gmail on that app as well. The actual gmail app works great but my gmail account in the regular mail app doesn't--it will tell me I have gmail mail a couple hours after I have already looked at it in the gmail app and marked as read. Same thing with the work mail, things show up much later then they should.

Haven't found a way to fix it yet.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Are you guys using a task killer? If so and the email program is not ignored, the task killer will close the email app...which at that point is running services to retrieve your email.
[Captivate General] Rennoc:
In the same boat. I have both GMail and the Email program. Gmail is of course instant, however the built in email is horrible (at least with Exchange). I'm not killing it with taskkiller, and I've deleted and reset it up multiple times. I installed Touchdown and gave it a try, however it really didn't seem to make a huge difference. Unfortunately I think it's something we are going to have to endure until 2.2, which supposedly has Active Synch improvements.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
I don't have experience with Exchange but really, a reset will speed up a lot of the loading screen "lag". That's the only thing that will.
[Captivate General] floppy__:
And after the reset do you use a restore of titanium backup or do you have to do all resinstall manually and re-configure everything (like home screeens and apps)
[Captivate General] Rennoc:
The issue isn't so much loading screen lag, it's a long period of waiting to do anything (open, reply, delete) when navigation in the program. I'm assuming (more like guessing) that other phones simply make everything appear to happen instantly, and then perform the tasks in the background unlike on Android where everything is done real time.

For instance on my Blackberry and iPhone when I selected 5 emails and chose delete, all 5 would disappear and I could continue working. In Email I select the 5 messages, the program says Messages Deleted then I watch for 5 to 10 seconds as the messages are deleted one at a time, preventing any meaningful use of the program until the process completes. I've checked the Exchange logs, no errors or anything out of the ordinary. It works, just very slowly.
[Captivate General] Krynn!:
I had the same problem, but K9 instead. After a _lot_ of testing, gnashing of teeth, and pulling of hair, I think I've found the cause.

Email and K9 both appear to store stuff in the /data dir. This is the exact same location that others online have found to be drag-ass slow and the general cause for black screens and/or lag in general. Which pretty much describes exactly what was happening to me with Email and K9. Search here or at MoDaCo for more info on the lag issue.

The solution is to either hope Samsung can somehow fix the speed of the internal SD card or store data elsewhere. I'd be amazed if Samsung ever fixes the speed issue. And storing data elsewhere isn't an option build into either application. K9 might eventually have that feature added, but I doubt Email ever will. There's a potential fix shown at MoDaCo, but it involves rooting, updating the kernel, and partitioning an external SD card. Nothing difficult, but not for everybody.

Touchdown has an option to store data on the external SD card, so it shouldn't suffer the same problem. I haven't played with it yet to see if it does or not.

As for why Gmail seems to work ok, that's a little trickier. It stores under the same path as the others, but it appears to work in an asynchronus mode, relying more on what you have on the server and only checking the local copy if it can't hit the network. At least that's the best explanation I can come up with for why it seems to work much better than Email or K9.
[Captivate General] d2010d:
I was using the Nexus One 2.2, with 2 different Exchange syncs and gmail... NO Problem at all.

Different story with the Captivate... Not rooted, with ATT bloat... hardly any other apps loaded, tried both popular loaders. The email is all most unbearable (and unacceptable), reminds me of the iPhone 3g, if not worse.

Hopefully we'll see a straight 2.2 build soon, or I'm really considering returning the phone (already sold my N1 for a chunk of change).. I have 27 days remaining for a return.

Stock 2.2 is the only way to go.
[Captivate General] Krynn!:
I'd love a stock 2.2 build! But... unless we get lucky with a major change in the driver for the internal (non-sd) filesystem, I don't think it's going to help with the e-mail issue (or the general lag/blackscreen issue) at all.
[Captivate General] Rennoc:
It's definately not the at&t bloat, I have mine rooted and all of the at&t apps removed. I definately think the data parition fx is the best route to persue.
[Captivate General] heygrl:
You haven't tried a reset? The Email app syncs my GMail account quickly for me, however before I did a reset it was loading in my emails one at a time and was noticeably poor.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] DigitalDementia:
Are there any that work? Or at least any in the works ;)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
no, they cause screen tearimg.

and all froyo.

and yes, ejhart is worling on a .32 kernel tjat will work with cm6
[Droid Incredible Android Development] totmur:
I used the hydra OC kernal on cm6 and sky raider roms with no issues.....
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
which versoin of cm6
[Droid Incredible Android Development] kizunaencounter:
had a two random reboots with the hydra OC kernel with CM6 nightly 7-11; ran non-OC hydra kernel very stable.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] jdkoreclipse:
the 0711 build plays very nicely with ov kernels, but thats it. any cm6 after 0711 will loop with ANY hydra kernel.

I thought this was pretty cool, read it over on Gizmodo. Its really easy to do.

1. Install Dropbox on your computer and your phone

2. Download APK files from a website like xda

3. Drag and drop APK files into your Dropbox folder

4. Open Dropbox app on phone and navigate to APK files

5. Click on APK file file, file will download and ask to install

6. Install file
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mattseg:
Read it on gizmodo as well, tried it for the first time today, wicked easy.

I use Belvedere to automatically move anything with the .APK extension to my dropbox/Android/APK folder. Couldn't be easier.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
Can we move Avatar to Dropbox (below 2GB) and delete it off the card? I mean, yes.. I know THAT can be done, but I was curious if this broke some patent or anything?

I am BRAND new to Dropbox (not even on the PC yet).

I'm a fan of this:

http://labs.dashwire.com/drop
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s15274n:
awesome drop is nice moving a file from your pc to your phone... but it's a little limited in that's the only flow.

What if you want to share a file on your phone? I'd like to upload it to dropbox and share it that way...
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
Yes you can move it there but if you want to watch it you would have to download it back to the phone every time you want to watch it. Dropbox can't stream the movie if thats what you were trying to do, dropbox is used for online storage.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] blanked:
There's an app called WebSharing that works over Wifi. It runs a web server on the phone which you can access from any computer and allows you to upload/download and move files around on the phone. It's pretty cool, check it out.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] androidmonkey:
Is there a way to create a dropbox folder on the sd or internal memory and keep it synced with dropbox? Currently I have to download the pdf files that I store on my drop each time I want to view them, sometimes im not connected online.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] speoples20:
I don't believe there is an offline mode. You can download the files the ln use file manager to copy them to a different folder for later but the initial time you need web.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ZombieDude00:
Yep I use it everyday love it WebSharing bought and paid for :) no need for dropbox here I'm never really installing apk's anywhere but home. Plus if i'm not at home I just download it to the phone and it handles the rest.
[Vibrant General] fykick:
Yes.

If you are interested in how or proof. Let me know and I will work on a tutorial. Its not perfect...but its better than most of what's out for the phone now. A few small bugs...but nothing major. Or maybe nothing that someone else can't find the fix for. So lemme know...cuz I'm tired of working on this for today, and its time for me to take a break.

Thanks.

Sorry for the crappy quality...the only other camera I have around right now is the 2MP camera on my boost incognito, lol.

Hello everyone im very new to the whole windows operating system. I bought an htc diamond CDMA with Bell Mobility. The phone is my fiances and she wants it to be quick and smooth. She wants it to be easy to take pictures, check her messages, and go online.

1) I have been reading about putting wm 6.5 on the phone (Phone is security unlocked and running Pegasus right now)

2) I have things about people changing the radio and I have no idea what that is.

3) I guess my major questions is If I have a stock HTC Diamond what is the best combination do you suggest to make is run quick and reliable.

4)I have heard about people using roms but other things have been changed also (Cant remember that)

Hello

I hope this isn't a repost.

I was wondering if anyone else is having an issue with the weather application not showing your correct location. Mine was working fine until Wednesday evening and now it just displays United Kingdom (Current Location). It does update the temperature and Google Maps knows where I am using cell location.

Anyone know of a fix or is this a wider issue with the the accuweather site?

Thanks

Paul
[Desire General] Rew64:
Mines been on the blink for a couple of weeks now. Some times it works and other times it just says UK :rolleyes:
[Desire General] gavinlew:
Same here - however, when I am in Bath (where the office is), Bath is shown, anywhere else on route now just says United Kingdom.
[Desire General] texpete83:
mine is the same went daft a few weeks ago worked for 1 day on wednesday and know is dead again just saying UK and thats it
[Desire General] Deleted member 2496007:
Yep. Mine gone bat sh*t stupid too.

Even with gps on, it still doesn't get it right.

Ended up doing a work-around by going into the weather app, deleting all the irrelevant locations (paris, madrid etc) and manually added my city. Won't change when I go somewhere else, but rarely leave my city limits and its better than generic uk weather.

Not too fussed about it. Accuweather (who do the weather info for this widget) are not too crash hot on details anyway. Yesterday I was sat in my office, and it was raining so hard, it was hard to hear over the roar of the rain on the roof. My weather was saying "mostly sunny". Lol. Said the same after I refreshed it, and every uk news station saw this down-pour coming since tuesday.

You are better off having a link to the met office (if you in the uk) on your home page. Or just look out the window!
[Desire General] jimmymagix:
Mine too. Just says "current location" and nothing else. Has done for weeks.
[Desire General] paulmh_5:
Does anyone know if there is a fix or planned fix for the problem?
[Desire General] linshius:
As i`m aware there is no fix, it was easy to fix on WiMo, maybe we should spam HTC for this ?

Weather newer worked on my location, but 2 miles away everything is fine :)
[Desire General] aindow:
I think they're updating the locations all the time. Mine used to say Bamber Bridge even though I live in Leyland. It played up saying current location as United Kingdom and then started working again and shows my correct location.

I don't think there's any fix for this apart from manually adding your correct location until they get it fixed.
[Desire General] paulmh_5:
Ok thanks I'll spam them.

I wouldnt be so bothered but this was working last week and I've checked, Sheffield is still a real place....
[Desire General] squelia:
weather location problem - fix!

I have been looking through other threads and have just found something that seemed to solve this problem.

Turn on the wifi (don't have to connect to any network, literally just have it turned on) and refresh the weather page and the location changes to your current location. Turn the wifi off and it's fine.

It has worked for me so far... I hope this helps someone else. (Phone: HTC Desire HD)
[Desire General] mwatson:
doesn't work for me. Thanks for suggestion though..
[Desire General] Daarth:
That was a solution for phones with winmo and manila 2.1 cooked in. Maybe try newer radio? I only assume that you all are using stock Desire rom... if not maybe check for update from chefs?

I had same issue with stock rom. After movind to Leedroid ones problem disapeared.
[Desire General] Dragoon Knight:
From what I can tell from my experience with the Desire weather widget, having accurate location data is largely dependant on connection quality. By this, I mean that if you're connected to wifi, you're going to get a much better read on things. When using GPRS, the weather seems to get a bit more vague - I'm lucky if I get "United Kingdom", since most of the time it will just say "Current location". I can't say what experience you'd get with EDGE or 3G, since I don't live in an area with either.

Your best bet is to ensure you give your phone every available avenue for location data. On a Desire running Froyo, from the Home screen, press:

Menu -> Settings -> Location

Make sure both "Use wireless networks" and "Use GPS satellites" are ticked, then back up out to the Home screen. Go back in to the weather widget (for reference, I mean the clock / weather combo widget here) and refresh it. Give it a little bit, and it should (about 75% of the time) update to your proper location.

Some times when this probably won't work / you may still have trouble:

- When you have your device connected to a computer for the purposes of USB file transfer, tethering or HTC Sync.

- When you are connected to a wireless network using an invalid IP (such as having a static IP set to 192.168.1.x in a 0.x range).

- When you find yourself inside a faraday cage, a mile beneath the surface of the Earth.

This is all likely just common sense stuff that most people are doing already, but hope it helps some of you. :)

[HD2 General] jas0nw0ng:
Hi,

I have a question. I recall 3 years ago, I bought a samsung SGH ### (I dont remember the number) off of ebay for like 175 dollars or something. I originally had a crap phone and I wanted a really small and skinny one. The phone was brand new, never been opened. A few months later, I called Tmobile and they said I did have an active and working warranty on the phone (I asked the question, when does my warranty expire, and they told me a day). So my question to you wonderful people at xda-developers: If I buy an brand new, seal not broken Tmobile HD2 or lets say a Samsung Vibrant on ebay, will it have a warranty? Now before you say something like, "warranties only apply to those that original purchased the phone from an authorized dealer," how do they know you are not the original owner of the phone? I bought an HD2 from T mobile and I am looking at the receipt and there is nothing on the receipt that corresponds to anything on my HD2. My HD2 has no serial # or SKU #. I wasn't the original owner of that Samsung and I had a warranty. This leads to my final comment/question. Does the fact that being the first person to use a sim on that device make you the only person with a warranty for that device?
[Captivate General] Truceda:
Following this post about charging the battery while the phone is off, I decided to try it.

With the phone off, I plugged in the USB charger, and watched the screen to see if there was any notification that the battery was charging. Sure enough, a battery icon appeared with 5 scrolling dots below. The battery looked to be slightly above 75%. I turned the phone back on and noticed my battery meter in the upper right showed 100%, yet my percentage meter from the Batter Indicator app showed 81%.

Anyway, I guess what I'm trying to say is that: If you want an accurate bar display of your charge, you can also check the phone while it's off and charging.

Ok, maybe not that interesting after all. I bet someone has already found this and incorporated it into an app. I'm too lazy to look though.
[Captivate General] tysj:
Or you can just go into Settings > About Phone > Status.

Other than that, we need to use widgets until we can get rid of that wretched battery indicator.
[Captivate General] Truceda:
True, that too. I'm thinking the original battery indicator in the upper right corner has to be at least 20 pixels wide, right? Why not make it drop a line for every 5% instead of rounding to the nearest 25%. What a pain.

If you flash the engineering rom, you don't have to do that anymore (not even to flash the engineering rom).
