Cool. Thanks for the info.

Actually I went to use the old version I had yesterday and a message popped up telling me there was a newer version available.

I was able to download the newest cab and update the software right on the device. Used it right afterward and it worked great.

Hey everyone, was wondering if it is possible (or already done?) to pull the application/service from the Droid X that zooms in when you highlight text (Similar to iPhone)

It would be pretty awesome if this was made available for all Android devices, anyone have any ideas or input on this?

I hate that notification because I use my phone for my alarm and it lights up in the middle of the night. Has anybody figured out a way to turn that notification off? I have looked and not found anything on the phone or in the forums.
[Captivate General] Jack45:
If you can't find a way to suppress the notification, do what I do...turn the phone over. If you don't have the Body Glove case that lifts the screen off the furniture and are concerned about scratches, put it on a paper towel or similar item to protect it. I use a wash cloth.
[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
would also like to know how to turn that stupid notification off - software based and not using a towel though :D
[Captivate General] rockr09:
I don't know much yet but I was digging around in root explorer and if you go to /system/media there are a bunch of .qmg files for battery related stuff, and two of them are named chargingwarning.qmg and Disconnected.qmg. Could one of these be the file for the fully charged notification?
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Probably not because the notifications are all text, and QMGs are the 3d files used at boot-up. Most likely those animations are used in the battery meter that is displayed when the phone is off (turn your phone off and plug it in).
[Captivate General] daverup:
This won't help with the light, but the sound can be fixed.

[Captivate General] KryptosXLayer2:
seriously? we are all STILL dealing with this? has anyone found a solution to prevent this notification from popping up?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
It is confirmed fix in the 2.2 release - at least the JI6 build we are all playing with. They moved it to the notification bar.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Bumpage!

Been a lurker but just recently got my Captivate. Great forum here! Looking forward to contribute as well.

Well my issue with the "Fully Charged" battery notification is the display will stay on for the entire night. When I wake up in the morning, I see the phone's display on with the notification. Is this normal? I think this was happening just recently but I can't remember. Shouldn't the display turn off after the set amount time of inactivity? Thanks.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Nevermind, I figured it out. Within the development settings, the option to never allow the phone to sleep while plugged into the usb was checked. I wonder why that was checked.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Ok, I THOUGH disabling that option would put the display to sleep when the notification comes on but it doesn't. =(

Is this normal behavior? The screen stays lit after the notification is on? The only reason why i'm concern is if I'm plugging it in night after night and it's on that particular screen for hours at a time, there might be some burn in issues.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Not likely. It's not a rear projection tv or a CRT monitor. Burn-in problems died with those.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Guess you haven't seen some of the demo Captivate at your local AT&T stores. Seeing the burned in images on those beautiful SAMOLED screen just kills a little bit of me.

In any case, so it's normal for the screen to take on after the message notification comes on?
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
None of the models I saw had burn-in at all. I got my phone on August 30th of this year. The phone had been on the shelves since July. But I would imagine it's normal for the screen to come on.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
I got my phone only three weeks ago, so the phone sitting on display has probably been there a long time. And yeah, samoled screen can get burned in. well guess I'll have to charge it during the day time for now until I can figure out a way to disable the pop up.

Oh my worry is that the screen might be in the on state with the same image for hours while I sleep. That's something I can't leave to chance.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
As long as you're not using a Samsung Dock or have the Stay Awake option checked off in settings, it won't stay on. I watch my phone every night. It usually finishes charging long before I ever go to sleep (case in point, it's 3:11am, and the phone was done around 1am) and the screen always times out and turns itself off. It doesn't come back on either.
[Captivate General] dawei213:
Ok, yeah that's what I figured. Thanks for confirming it for me. I do have that option "not checked". Something might be preventing it to fall back asleep.

Is there any log within the file system which might keep track of system events? I might have to do a little digging around.

Thanks for your input.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I don't believe there's any logs, but you might have some luck installing logcat from the market and checking that after one night

Charged notification PROBLEM SOLVED !

PROBLEM SOLVED ! NO COST !

I saw this suggestion in another forum and it WORKS, so I'm passing it on !

Set the global notifications to SILENT.

Set the notification on Gmail to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.

Set the notification on messaging to any ringtone, NOT DEFAULT.

You'll still have a tone when you 1st plug the phone in to the charger, but NO tone when it's fully charged.
[Captivate General] GAMacky:
Where are these settings? I can't find them any where.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
You were told how to do this in the 6th post of this thread.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate General] tmk8991:
Oh my word, the 6th post of this thread suggests rooting the phone to get rid of the notification tone. Just changing a few settings is a LOT easier - seconds versus rooting the phone in minutes to hours.
[Captivate General] tmk8991:
I have a Samsung vibrant, 2.1. So, if you have a different Android device or OS version, your settings and menu words may be slightly different, but the typical place to find these are...

The global notification are in settings> sound and display> notification ringtone> silent

The Gmail settings, go into the app> menu> settings> notification ringtone> not default

The messaging settings, go into the app> menu> settings> notification ringtone> not default

You don't need to root to rename a darn file with adb. Seriously, you all make it way too hard on yourselves for a task that my grandmother can do.

Thanks for the sarcastic remark. Nothing like a healthy dose of sarcasm to make all noobs feel welcome and loved.

So we still can't stop the light from coming on at all? It's annoying because I have to put the phone in my night stand drawer or it wakes me up.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
As long as you don't have the Stay Awake option checked in the development settings, the screen turns off. Turn the brightness down, and put the screen side down. Put your screen timeout settings to 15 seconds and it'll be off before you know it.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] htc_d:
Hi guys, thanks for having this thread, i really hope you guys can help me. I've had my diamond for 1 and a half years now and i recently activated the edge data connectiond from my service provider. Since them, almost every time i take a call or receive a text, the phone does a soft reset. I've tried everything i know and but no improvement. Some extra info: the diamond is the gsm US version, my service provider is Digicel(that's what we use here in the Caribbean) and their technicians don't know what's wrong either. Im also using a donsalari Rom with WM 6.5, TF3D 2.1. I've been using donsalari romms for a while and they work excellently and no one else on his thread reports this issue. Looking forward to your reply.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] phobos512:
I've been using ADW both on the stock 1.47 ROM and now on CM6 (both nightlies and now RC1) and have found that as the day goes on the performance of ADW seems to suffer. This is particularly noticeable in the "return to home" performance (i.e. the time it takes for the phone to return to the main home screen after pressing the home button). Performance is restored with a reboot.

As I stated, I've noticed this on multiple configurations (and I always do a full wipe between installing new ROMs).

Does anyone else notice this? I did a quick search and didn't see anything.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SleepyS40:
I am having the same issues. It seems like touch lag switching between home screens.

[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
I noticed that my wireless tethering seems to be broken in 2.2 - any client that connects is not getting an IP address.

Both Barnacle and Wireless Tether seem to be broken - I wonder if this has anything to do with the new radio?

UPDATE:

I was able to get this working by copying a file inside /system/etc/firmware:

Copy /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin to /sdcard/android.tether/ and rename to fw_bcm4329.bin

I just spent hours trying different versions of Wireless Tether - I really couldn't tell you if this is what fixed it - but I was able to tether my iPad and my laptop just fine and started to see some data flow immediately.
[Droid Incredible General] g00s3y:
It will not work in AP mode, you must go back to the Wireless Tether that can be installed from the market. It will only work in AD-HOC mode now as far as i know.
[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
The Wireless Tether that is in the market was working just fine before I installed the 2.2 update this morning.

Nice find jp43. It works great!

Also, it does show up in AP mode using a Hydra kernel.
[Droid Incredible General] scottemick:
What version of Wireless Tether are you using? My Incredible didn't have that folder installed on the sd card, but I created it (and copied/renamed the file there) and my Tether still doesn't work. I am also on 2.2 myself. Only the stock VZW 3g tether works.

I am currently using the wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre4.apk version.

Thanks

P.S. never mind, I just read the directions, and there it is!
[Droid Incredible General] heffe2001:
I tried it with the latest (Pre4), the previous, and 2.0.2, and 2.0.2 is the only one that works...
[Droid Incredible General] compnird:
The abovementioned fix, copying the .bin file got ad-hoc working for me but I can't use it. Hopefully someone gets AP mode working soon. :(
[Droid Incredible General] scottemick:
I did get ad-hoc working as well, stuck with WEP....but it is working ,even from ubuntu!

The long night of no wifi tethering is finally over! (I had it on my touch pro). No more using gimpy substitutes like proxoid and pdanet....
[Droid Incredible General] jp43:
I just installed Wireless Tether from the market - I believe that's 2.0.2, copied /system/etc/firmware/fw_bcm4329_apsta.bin to /sdcard/android.tether/ and rename to fw_bcm4329.bin and I was up and running with AP mode.

One thing that I did not try is WEP, but I definitely saw some data moving, and I have the app set to vibrate and notify me if a client connects, which it is doing now.

Before, I could connect a wireless client but was not getting a proper IP.
[Droid Incredible General] gbenj:
The wireless tether in the market is 2.0.2, for me at least. Can anyone confirm that moving that file as specified using a different version of wireless tether (2.0.5 from the google code site) will work in AP mode?

Sorry - I mistyped that - the version I am running is 2.0.2

_________________________________________________________________________________________________

Heres a script that ports your themes from firmware to firmware, rom to rom.

How it works:

- Looks through app/framework folder for apks that exist in new/old rom

- Then extracts pngs from those apks

- Then deletes mismatching pngs

- Repacks old themes pngs into new rom

- Done

Note: Benefit of this method is that you could literally port a donut theme to a froyo rom because it only copies images that exist in the new rom, and none that don't.

Instructions:

- Download zip

- Extract zip

- Place old framework/app in old folder (Rom that has the theme)

- Place new framework/app in new folder (Rom u want to port it to)

- Run Script

- The new folder is now themed

Improvements:

- Dependant on demand for this script.

And the best part is: it's due tomorrow (july 29th)!

Tweet 1:

"Tommorow we start with the upgrades to Android 2.2 for the Desire, more devices later on"

Tweet2:

"...(which doesn't mean that everybody will be getting it tomorrow... there's a bandwidth limit)"

It'll be great for newbies who don't want the hassle of rooting, as they'll get a foolproof update to 2.2.

Anyone on here who's already rooted - I'm pretty sure the custom ROM you're on now will be better for you than stock. Give the XDA devs a while with the new stock ROM and I'm sure some enhancements will filter down to the custom ROMs.

I can't see why anyone on here who's happy rooting would want to go for a stock ROM on their phone...
