That's enough time to ruin the video experience.

I still notice the dialer. Isn't that still Samsung? It sucks compared to the Aria dialer.

You'd need to have actually used a sense device for a while to know what I mean, it's all about the cool predictive algorithm htc used, whereas the dialer on the captivate is no better than on my old Tilt (although a little faster, thank goodness, and I do appreciate the huge buttons)

Don't get me wrong, there are 5 good things about the captivate: The screen, the screen, the screen, the screen, and the speaker. And those 5 are enough to keep me interested.

[Captivate General] Maroon Mushroom:
Hey, starting to panic here.

Recently rooted my captivate and did a few simple things with it. (Market Enabler, PDAnet) and every time the phone goes to sleep, it won't wake up when I hit the power button. Each time I'm forced to do a complete reset holding the volume rocker and power button at the same time. Anyone else having this issue?
[Captivate General] dalingrin:
I had the same problem today.

I believe it is SetCPU. After a reboot it does not detect the proper clocks for the CPU.
[Captivate General] waltah!:
This kinda stuff is why I'm apprehensive about rooting it. I hope you figure it out and it goes back to normal for you.

I was able to put PDAnet on mine just by putting in airplane mode and turning wifi on. That bypasses AT&T's filter of the Market. You probably already knew that, but some others might not so I figured I'd throw that out there.
[Captivate General] dalingrin:
Simply rooting your phone isn't going to cause problems.
[Captivate General] autoxer:
+ 1 million.

If people actually understood what rooting does, there wouldn't be so much baseless speculation. But that's asking too much I guess.

As for the OP: it sounds like an app is hosing the phone after sleep. As dalingrin said, SetCPU is a good example. I couldn't get a setting that didn't make the phone fail to wake at least some of the time. To be honest, though, I don't see much of a need for it anyway--you can't use it to overclock the Captivate yet, and if you install a CPU monitoring widget, you'll see the phone's native CPU scaling system works well.

If the only app you've installed is PDAnet, I'd try uninstalling it and testing again. If not, you might want to look for other apps that could cause it, especially anything like a power manager or CPU scaling app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] feld0013:
As I NEED the copy-paste functionality of sense, I have to stick with DC or Ava for froyo roms. The question I have is if anyone knows if you can get the vanilla lockscreen on 2.2 sense roms, as well as what the theming is restricted to. Thanks a ton!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaelvibe:
I would like the change the Sense lock screen as well
[Vibrant Accessories] zinite:
Pics included. It came with 2 plastic screen protectors.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...98967&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_4315wt_1137

Fits perfectly.
[Vibrant Accessories] tengtengvn:
I bought the same one. Mine hasn't come yet. Yours looks great tho.
[Vibrant Accessories] dublued:
Nice case.

You might want to consider buying the proper screen protector for the vibrant.
[Vibrant Accessories] zinite:
I was just trying it out. I hate the feel of screen protectors - ended up taking it off after about an hour.
[Vibrant Accessories] dublued:
if you change your mind, try the one from realook. i just put mine on and it is amazing. can't even tell it's on there and it feels like the original glass screen.
[Vibrant Accessories] jinx8402:
Mine came in today (really quick might I add, only ordered last wednesday!) Mine looks exactly the same, except it doesn't have the cutout on the corner like yours.

I can't post the link, since I'm a new user, but look up the seller special_element on ebay.
[Vibrant Accessories] scsi_2k:
Got mine today as well. Fast shipping! Still using the screen cover that it came with :) Maybe I should try the one that came with the case or the ClearFeak that just arrived as well.
[Vibrant Accessories] blanked:
How's the feel of the rubber? Is it tacky/sticky? Does it cling to your pocket?
[Vibrant Accessories] Mswolf06:
I got this same case off of ebay, came in todays mail and looks nice and seems to fit perfectly except for the power and volume buttons which don't quite fit and I have to press quite hard or use my fingernail so I am not 100% thrilled but hey what can I expect for 3.99 with free shipping? It will work until we start seeing more released. Oh yeah, the case is nice and smooth, not sticky at all. Plus I like that it is transparent so I can still see my android sticker through it. It's the small things right?
[Vibrant Accessories] dublued:
I've had it for 3 days and have gotten used to the buttons. Not sure if I'm getting in the habit of it or if the case has "adapted" to the phone more some how.
[Vibrant Accessories] shadow024:
I've had mine for a few days now. Love the feel of it. I don't find it sticky at all, and it didn't really cling to my pockets that much. For the price, I am satisfied until something else comes out. The screen protectors it came with suck. :p
[Vibrant Accessories] Classie83:
I have this case in pink. It's great for the money. Not sticky at all and fits the phone well.

RIP my beloved rooted G1
[Vibrant Accessories] vuvsion:
It seems like I've always purchased a soft gel skin for all my previous phones for temp. protection until a thin flexible hard case comes along. I was going to buy this gel case until I found the mesh case on ebay, it doesn't completely wrap around all the corners, but it's thin & I love the look and feel of it over the gel case.
[Windows Mobile] c_shekhar:
After flashing the WM 2.5.3 build 23673 I am not seeing the message box buttons. Is it a feature in b23673 or any thing is missing?

Can anybody throw some light on it?

EDIT: There was a problem in my theme. modified and resolved.

PS: if mod desires he can delete this thread.
[Vibrant General] mystycs:
Would it be a better idea to perhaps return my phone for a new one perhaps the ones made after the first batch are better and run faster with better battery? Mine of which was made 6/27 it says on my box
[Vibrant General] bdjnk:
I got mine day one and have had only the issues that seem to be universal. Namely the default mediocre battery and occasional stutter, both of which I've solved.

Magicked from my Vibrant by tube traversing XDA elves.
[Vibrant General] atvman29:
I believe I read elsewhere that the date on the box is actually the ship date, not the date of manufacture...however its likely a strong telling of what time frame the phone was built in.

I went from a 7-2 to a 7-12 with my swap. This one seems a spec quicker, and the lock button is much nicer. Still have GPS and freezing problems though albeit only once so far on the new one.

I've found the battery on both phones to be adequate. As good if not slightly better than my healthy G1.
[Vibrant General] Phromik:
My box says 7/02 and I haven't had any problems. (picked it up on 7/22)
[Vibrant General] temperbad:
No issues here and got it on release.
[Vibrant General] zimphishmonger:
Mind detailing what you did. Did you do the "lag" fix where it moves the app data over to NAND? My battery life is quite good, what did you find was killing your battery?

Box says 7/2/2010 and Ive had 2 different phones, same minor issues
[Vibrant General] mystycs:
Mine is made 6/27. Im just wondering if i can exchange it, will my phone be better since it being a newer batch.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
If the date is after 7/15, then it's a new batch, or possibly later. Otherwise, it was all manufactured under the same design, process, and materials.

Return it if you want to, your decision. My first one dated 7/10 had the menu button acted up and when I exchanged it, it was 7/1, which is much better as of now.
[Vibrant General] israel941:
would also like to hear what you found about the battery. mine is suffering horribly. mine more or less sucks.
[Vibrant General] Keslynn:
Short answer: no.

I exchanged my first for a newer made one. The GPS still didn't work any better and the newer one had a rattling volume key. I exchanged rattling volume key phone and the new handset is developing an unresponsive home key.

It could just be my bad luck but an exchange risks a while new set of issues. If your only problem is GPS then I'd say wait it out. If there's another problem, then go for it. That's just my opinion.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If you're getting a constant black (completely DEAD phone, different from unresponsive) freeze up, your Vibrant is probably defective. The only time that has happened on my new one (it reared it's ugly head on my old one) is when I changed the GPS settings without a reboot. Same batch of phones too. So if a reset doesn't solve this, a new one probably will.
[Vibrant General] iceshinobi:
I got mine day one and my box says 7/9/10
[Vibrant General] rodrigos122:
If i do a factory reset while the phone is rooted, will it brick the phone?

i've been thinking of doing it but i don't know what is going to happen to the phone.

i just want to see if that fixes some of the issues i'm having as some people say that it works better after a reset.

i'm i going to have to root it again?
[Vibrant General] GameOver69:
Do all the first batches have issues. I got mine on the release date, and havent had any real issues with it? wondering if i should swap?
[Vibrant General] aliensite:
I went from 7-4-10 to 7-10-10. Same GPS issues.
[Vibrant General] Phromik:
As I said earlier, mine says 7/02, but I thought I should mention that my GPS has no issues either. I just tested Lookout's "Find My Phone" feature, and it was accurate, right on top of my house. :)
[Vibrant General] iunlock:
Mines 7/12 with ZERO problems. My GPS works fine, the fits air tight...all good.

Now to answer your question, IMO I firmly believe that every electronic device has a personally of their own. Call it crazy, but I've found it to be true over and over again.

I've had phones in the past that were of the same batch but total lemons. When I swapped it out it was perfect.

It doesn't matter what batch it comes from, you'll always get lucky ones and not so lucky ones. It's just the way it is and that's a fact. (Heck, explain how out of the six Vibrants I have, my phone's SAMOLED was the clearest and bluest one out of them all? It was like the odd ball of the litter if you know waht I mean, but I like that it's different. The bluish tint is fresh. Now when I look at other screens they seem too soft and yellow to me. They are all 7/12 shipped date.)

So if you feel the need to swap, the by all means do it. You have nothing to lose and another chance to land a lucky one, that is IF yours is acting up.

GOod luck! :D
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:
UPDATE: It seems that this only works on the 2.2 roms that are de-odexed... It doesn't work on the plain one that first hit. It is confirmed to work in the following roms:

Sky Raider 2.0

Sky Raider 1.9b

Desensitize Sky Raider 2.2 by jitajt

Not sure how many of you follow the other areas of the site or not... anyways, the guys over on the nexus one area have been enjoying Hulu on their Froyo roms for a while now. I've only seen a couple HTC Inc folks in the original thread so maybe people just don't know about it...

Big thanks goes out to rcxquake as he's the one that created the modified version of flash.

Original instructions for Nexus one are here

Modified Directions (i'll expand these out after I do it again tomorrow):

1) remove flash from your install... most likely it is in the /system/app folder, I hadn't run any flash sites yet so I simply renamed the install_flash_player.apk to install_flash_player.apkb Here's a quick set of instructions for you:

1) Connect phone and enable debuging mode.

2) open a command prompt and go into your sdk/tools folder. run "adb reboot recovery"

3) in the cmd prompt type in "adb shell"

4) On the phone once its loaded up recovery in to partitions menu and mount /system

5) in the adb shell type in "cd /system/app"

5) to rename the flash installer type in "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb"

7) in ADB tell it "exit"

8) on the phone unmount system and data (not sure if this is necessary or not)​

Exit out of recovery and verify you don't have flash installed anymore under settings \ applications \ Manage Applications \ All applications.

2) Download the fixed flash version via rcxquake's thread to your pc and move it to your sd card(direct link to file)

3) Install the downloaded APK file via your favorite file browser (astro for example)

4) If you want to look at the full version of the website, you'll need to enable a special mode in the browser, here's the directions care of the original thread:

1. In the search/address bar of the android browser type "about:debug" without the double quotes.

2. Press Menu

3. Tap More>Settings

4. Go to UAString and change it to desktop.
​

5) If you want to access the site without setting up the debug mode listed above, Adam B was awesome enough to utilize the Hulu widget page to create a premodded app that you can simply click and watch. Here's his original post and here's a direct link to his APK.

SIDE NOTE If you run his Hulu.apk app, your lock screen will not come up after using it... to remedy this you have to kill it with a task killer... I have emailed him to see if this is something that could be remedied.

Anyways, I hope this helps some others get this going...
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] FierceDeityLink1:
I tried this, and read through all of the Nexus One thread, and I still get "Hulu requires Flash Player 10.0.22 or higher. Please download and install the latest version of Flash Player before continuing".

Tried it in recovery (adb install), Astro, and AppInstaller. It shows up as installed in Application Management but doesn't load on any website. The only thing that there was to install (that I could find) was "install_flash_player.apk" in /system/app/.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] djkms:
Hulu and 2.2, its Christmas in July!

Having to manually kill the app sucks but it's hulu on my Droid!

Only other issue really is the border in fullscreen mode.

Btw the app works great, if you can't get it to work try a reboot.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] FierceDeityLink1:
Do you need the app? It sounded like about:debug should cover it, but it doesn't really answer why other pages don't load Flash.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Mach3te:
Tried everything as well. Seems this version of flash doesn't play well on the HTC Incredible. Any chance someone can tweak this to get it working?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] junjlo:
works well on the skyrider 2.0 rom only issue is i ave adfree and the hulu app can play cuz im blocking adds and the browser has no UAstring
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Linux4me28:
Yea thats the file you need to rename "mv install_flash_player.apk install_flash_player.apkb" then your all good.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:
so far i've only tested on the sky raider one... at the end of the day yesterday we tried the same steps on the regular 2.2 rom on an additional inc someone had at the office (the original full leak) and were unsuccessful. I'm going to flash my phone over to regular as I have an issue with sky raider and syncing, I'll see what I can come up with on getting to work on that one as well.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jitajt:
Works!

Works great, I followed the instructions and was watching hulu in minutes.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:
just so I can keep a running total in my head, what rom are you running, sky raider or the regular 2.2 rom (or one of the others)? thanks
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jitajt:
I am running my own Sense free de-odexed ROM.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:
for the life of me, I cannot get this to work with the plain 2.2.... so, what all is changed in sky raider and your rom that's enabling it....

I tried applying adrynalyne's market fix thinking maybe it just needed to think it was on a nexus... no go.

So, what else is changed in the modded roms?
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] jitajt:
they are de-odexed, that may be one reason
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] supagene:
Running sky raider 1.9b I was able to get this running following the steps.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dnoyeb:

Directions for Hulu in Virtuous 2.4

Because Virtuous 2.4 has made it easy to remove flash, here are the instructions for getting this to work on the Virtuous ROM

Step 1... in Application Manager, select Flash 10.1, Select Uninstall

Step 2... Download this fixed-flash.apk from XDA xda-developers

Step 3... Install fixed-flash.apk using astro or your preferred method.

Step 4... Goto Hulu.com and enjoy watching whatever you want (in my experience flash works VERY well in Dolphin HD browser)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rushless:
Not to sound dumber than normal, but are you referring to the stock Flash 10.1. or the modded hulu version? Also, how do you get into debug mode? I tried a in the address field, but it does nothing. Worked with N900 and it's brower, but not Dolphin, so far.

I think it's all a plot by HTC and Verizon.

Leak the OTA and Froyo and get you all the find the bugs, because you can't complain to them about all the bugs. Then all the DEV's fix it for them and they take all the credit when they finally make an official release.

What better way to beta test your stuff with the largest possible group....

"leaked" HA
[Droid Incredible General] tcbj:
who better to test then the best?
[Droid Incredible General] andybones:
I agree with this concerning the "leak". I learned my lesson with "leaks" with my Eris, and won't ever install one again.

Root on the other hand is great, as of right now, I can always downgrade back to "stock" at all time if something happens to get a replacement, and I get to have 2.2 early the same as the leaks, best of both worlds, just wish we had the engineering bootloader.
[Droid Incredible General] djkms:
Haha I was just thinking the same thing today while updating to 2.2.

Instead of paying a team to do it release a "leaked" version and have us do all the testing lol
