[EVO 4G General] welrope:
wow, it doesn't work for me either, give me a sec and ill look it up another way. It is the Rocketfish usb charger with mini adapter.
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
There is no difference in charge time between computer usb and wall charger usb.
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
Try it now, wouldn't let me copy pasta a link straight to the product. Click the link above, and its the second usb cable in the third row...can't miss it. Only downfall is its only 4 ft, but..
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
well please disregaurd my post, i was under the impression a standard usb cable plugged into the pc pulled 500mw and while in the ac charger, 1000mw or 1W.
[EVO 4G General] TorxT3D:
i thought there was a difference in time, because it seems to take all day to charge from pc. charges alot faster from the ac adapter.
[EVO 4G General] phobos512:
I hate to be the one to break this to you, but you're incorrect. First, a computer's USB port only has to put out 500 mA (that is the spec) - the HTC wall charger puts out 1 A (that's 1000 mA) (EDIT Thought I would add that these are both @ 5 V, so you have 2.5W or 5W of power...Power, current, and voltage are not interchangeable /BSEE lol). Second, the phone can tell when it is charging from the stock charger and when it is charging from a non-OEM 1000 mA charger or a 500 mA charger / USB port (it will say charging via AC or USB on the battery status page in the About Phone page of Settings).

So to the OP what you're saying is, this cable makes the phone think it's charging via it's AC charger? Have a picture? (not a screenshot, a picture of the phone screen showing AC while plugged into this charger). :D
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
It does, i was just being sarcastic. :) The above mentioned cable will allow you to pull full draw from your usb port on your pc.
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
Thanks for that, i try hard not to be a **** to people, but you handled it quite well. I will add a screenie to the front page shortly. I had made a custom cable myself and removed the two inner pins (data+ and -) to achieve this purpose. But keep in mind, when using this usb cable i posted, you can not sync to your pc-it will only charge-hence the fact my battery profile shows ac charger when using it. Give me a little to get to a camera to take a pic of the cable and a pic of the battery profile.
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
added pics to the first post
[EVO 4G General] Bielinsk:
Computer USB can only output a certain amount of power, it isn't going to increase power with a cable.

I use Juice Plotter to see exactly what my battery life is, and how long it will take to charge. There is no difference in the charging time between USB and Plugged in.

Now on USB it will take longer because the screen is off and I am normally fustsing with it a lot, where when it is plugged in, I am not touching it at all and normally shut the screen off.

So even if a USB puts out 500mah and a wall charger puts 1000mah, I don't believe the phone has any type of switch to its micro USB to allow it to sense the mAh and adjust the charge. Else I would think your screen shots would show different numbers.
[EVO 4G General] welrope:
Every windows mobile phone ive ever used could be manipulated to allow the usb port to pull 1000mw. It is a hack and there is work on finding it in the android system. I am hoping this cable bypasses that and if i can find any program that shows charge current, i can know for sure. Android os uses parameters to decide how much current to pull as does windows mobile.
[EVO 4G General] TheBiles:
Then why does my EVO take twice as long to charge when connected to my laptop, smart guy?

[Windows Mobile] Ham3r:
Hi.

I have problem with QWERTY hardware keyboard:

Repeat doesn't work, but after hold key, letter is changed (capitalized):

eg.:

a -> A

A -> a

Thank's in advance.
[Windows Mobile] Farmer Ted:
That's how mine works; you don't like it? I do.

I think you may be missing an et9 package, or a registry key. With the stock microsoft compime.dll running, you get capitalization instead of repeating. With et9ime.dll running, you get the repeating feature and the black bar of death.
[Windows Mobile] Ham3r:
I don't like it.

I don't have et9, just pure 6.5 ROM.

I replace compime engine with older version (from 6.1) and it's work GOOD now.

but i looking for newer version, or reg key for config it (i found that later, now is too late..)
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Here is my first application called Sorry2BLate available in the market (free app).

If you are late on a daily basis route or journey, usually you take your phone and call or send a message to recipients. This application take care of sending message itself. Set your checkpoints, your recipients, the repeating days and others options and it's done.

Unlike other geolocalized application, this one take care of where you're not and not where you are !

Geolocation works on GPS and/or Wifi/Cell networks.

Other options :

Advance settings to not send message when you're in advance.

User confirmation or not before sending message

Add your location on message

Non geolocalized message (to send message at a specific datetime)

Someone with a Hero with 2.1 reports me a bug in comment (forceclose maybe ?). Can someone with this phone and android version can test and precise the problem (Log file with aLogCat application will be the best). The bug seems to be when selecting checkpoints on the map (map tab when editing alarm).

Thanks !
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Foce Close fix (when going on "Map tab").

Version updated to 0.7.0

Checkpoints hour now in alarm's list.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Version 0.7.1 available

- bug fix

- search address on map (search button or in menu)

- back on schedule message. You were late but not anymore.

- notification settings to turn off notification

- save sms settings to save send sms in phone sms database

- trackball color chooser for notification

Next version will focus on user interface.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Version 0.7.2. Released : Fix back on schedule message when send one message per checkpoint enabled. Previously alarm was disabled at first late checkpoint and further checkpoints status where not updated.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
I've been quite busy this time and not had time to work on the project.

But a new version will come soon and is in test now.

Updates for this version :

- bugfixes

- getting address (street, town ...) of each checkpoint

- internal update for next versions and futur features

- Google Calendar import

If you own a G1 please test application and report bugs to help me fix them (I've bad comment from a G1 owner du bugs).

Another question : No problem sending sms to contact with accents on contact's name (like stéphane (+33123456789)) with my nexus one, but sms not send and null pointer exception getSubmitPduHead(SmsMessage.java:595) with HTC desire HD so if you have any solution contact me !
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Version 0.7.3 released.

See previous post for updates details.

Fix bug on DesireHD (was on contact or recipients string having a 'p' or 'w' in letters).

Designer help for themes and ui would be great, just email me if you're interested !
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Next version in test now, update coming before end of week if no problem.

In the next update :

* bugfixes

* import several calendar event at once

* adding time before alert for time based alarm from calendar events

* confirm sending message and notification when "back to schedule"

* Wake up phone when idle to confirm message sending

* New application settings to not send message just be notified when late or back to schedule (test mode before spamming your recipients)

* Widget (size 3*1) for alarm based on geolocation (late alarm)

Next ideas to do

Widget displaying also scheduled alarm

Sending message when arriving in checkpoints (when you're late or not)

Much easier screen to create alarm with step by step instructions displaying 1 or maximum 2 features on one screen (current screen will be available in expert mode).

If you want to test the next version feel free to email or pm me.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
New version available :

See last post for new features.

A few explanations:

List active geolocation based alarm (late alarm).

A click on alarm's title open main application, click on next button to cycle through alarm.

Round bitmaps under alarm's title are checkpoints (control point defined on maps). There are green when not late, red when late, no color when undefined.

Maximum number of bitmap is 10 so only the 10 firsts are displayed.

Battery should not suffered from widget, refresh time is set to 5 hours and each time the status of a checkpoint changes (the last alarm displayed will be the alarm with last checkpoint updated).
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Minor version available :

- Scheduled Alarms now appearing in Widget

- Scheduled Alarms are now send at specific time and not 15 seconds earlier.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
New version 0.7.6 available :

[Android Apps and Games] jdstrydom:
New version 0.7.6 available

Thanks, will test
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
Version 0.7.7 Released :

Bugfix for Android 1.6 on application opening.

Bugfix when importing only events with location from calendar.
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
New version available

- better UI for scheduled alarm

- new options : time to get current location and minimum precision to send messages

- underground work for next rmajor release (check-in, new UI for late alarm, more reliable service to activate/deactivate alarms and refresh widget)
[Android Apps and Games] skyjacks:
New version (0.7.8.3) available :

fix force close and display message on alarm activation when no provider available (no geolocation enabled in settings / Location & Security).

A big thanks to Stephane for bug report and tests.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alekosy:
Hi, I'm wondering if you can tell me how to make my screen not toggle like a iphone screen switch...it's like the same on the android, It flips my screen but I don't want that to happen.

I'm using ADWLauncher thx
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Badious:
Are you reffering to it's capability to rotate the screen horizontally? If so go into the ADW preferences and find the System Preference Section and in there turn off the Orientation sensor.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] alekosy:
Thank you! /CLOSE PLEASE
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mika34:
Hi guys. I noticed strange thing with vibration sensitivity when I typing letters for example while texting messages. Sometimes vibration intensity is much stronger than in most times. Like it`s happening every fifth, sixth pressed letter. I set vibration intensity 1/6 (bar is from 0 to 6).

Sorry for my English. Tell me if you noticed this same thing.

Ps. Ive also Samsung Wave and there is no this issue that in the Galaxy.

Knock knock.......
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mika34:
Can onyone check that.??
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mika34:
Please answer.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] mika34:

[Captivate General] sola fide:
I'm new to Android - my apologies if this is an ignorant question.

If I root my Captivate will I be removing myself from OTA updates?
[Captivate General] JasonCL:
From what I understand rooting it does not prevent you from getting the OTA updates but if you put a custom ROM on there you will not be able to get the Samsung ROM when they release it - but then again you won't need it. Everything I've read about Samsung so far pretty much indicates that won't be anytime soon - apparently they are terrible at software updates. I don't know that first hand though, this is the first Samsung Smartphone I've owned.

If you rooted just to remove the AT&T bloat then you should have no worries about when they release Froyo.

If I'm wrong someone please correct me! ;)
[Captivate General] <insertwittyusernamehere>:
No, you'll be fine.

Edit: I agree with what the previous poster said.
[Captivate General] sola fide:
Awesome, thanks guys. Looks like I'll move forward with a root this weekend. Time to remove some AT&T crapware :D
[Captivate General] systoxity:
also you can always remove root later if its a problem

since you're new to android and this phone, i highly suggest you read the Pimp my captivate pdf provided for in a sticky on this sub forum.
[Captivate General] sola fide:
First thing I did when I got home was jump on xda and read through that PDF. It's well put together; thanks for taking the time. I wanted to wait awhile for some others to take the plunge and report before I dove in myself. :D
[Captivate General] iamcombat:
I may be wrong but I'm pretty sure there was already a leaked copy of the Samsung Froyo so I don't think it will be too far off for the OTA
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Quite the opposite. That leaked copy is an early test build which lacks a lot of features and buggy as well.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
^yeah dont try it!!!
[Captivate General] Invocation:
I am new to the Smartphone and I have an naive question? Is there any possible danger to root the Captivate? Would it be locked by AT&T? Thanks!
[Captivate General] davidusr:
Not sure what you mean by "locked by AT&T", but, AT&T will never know its been rooted unless they have it in their hands.

There is always the possibility of something going wrong, but unlikely if you follow the directions as they are written. Research is important too. I've learned TONS here, from others mistakes and experiments.
[Captivate General] yonglee09:
i have epic 4g (rooted) but OTA not working.

cant update PRL, FIRMWARE, nor profile. I am kinda worried.

Has anyone tried updating PRL?

Help?
[Captivate General] zelendel:

[Captivate General] Caliesv:

Stuck on baseband 2.15.00.07.21; I've downloaded 2.15.00.07.28 and have tried flashing it from clockwork multiple times, switched my recovery to th amon_ra recovery and no joy there as well.

Any ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafroehlich2:
What does the recovery display when it tries to flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huntjp123:
The recovery screen looks like the flash should be working from what I've seen on other threads.. Two reboots with the unpacking screen on the first and the status bar on the second.

I'll retry here in a few and jot down the actual status messages, as well as any other version information. I'm also wondering if I've somehow lost full root, so I'll see if I can get a root prompt later as well (rooted with unrevoked, but can run forever with the radio at it's current version). Could this impact flashing the Radio?
[Droid Eris Android Development] Dale407:
Big problem, I have to be able to access ##778 inorder to program my phone. Some how, my USB connector will only charge. No computer see's the Eris connected yet it will charge via the USB cable & port.

I'm running EvilEris 3.0. I've hunted and hunted for the correct EPST.apk for my phone. I don't want to have to return to a stock rom. Any help is welcomed.
[Droid Eris Android Development] PPCGeek01:
You're going to have to just buckle down and flash a rom that has it. I was never able to successfully add back EPST when I ran E.E. either. Once you make your changes with EPST, you can flash back and your settings will stick.
[Droid Eris Android Development] pkopalek:
Definitely. Your options are download and use QPST, and use the Hero Diag drivers, or (easier) just download like Ivan's Eris_Official or Plane Jane or something,

nand backup your current Evil Eris.

wipe data/dalvik

flash eris_official (or whatever)

do your ##778 stuff

go back into recovery, and nand restore your Evil Eris

done
[Droid Eris Android Development] threefords1000:
Can you explain what EPST and QPST are and why you don't have it? I want to root and use EE3.0 and this is the first I've read about this. Maybe it won't affect me maybe it will. I just want to know what I'm getting into.

Thanks
[Droid Eris Android Development] sickbox:
He's most likely talking about programming his phone for a cell carrier other than Verizon. If you're going to be using your phone on Verizon's network then no change will be needed after flashing a ROM made for the Eris.
[Captivate General] LeePhan79:
I used to own an iphone 4 and that device has great responsivnes. The captivate not so much. ALot of times I would have to tap 2-3 times, especially the 4 main bottom keys. Anyways, I went to android for pure customization. Can someone help me out? I cannot find the option to disable the screen lock on my captivate. I just want to be able to lock/unlock it with a button, instead of swyping the unresponsive screen. Thanks
[Captivate General] dannyfritz:
Go download Lock Bot on the market.
[Captivate General] LeePhan79:
I just downloaded lock bot and it doesnt even have a feature to disable the screen lock. I went to android to be able to customize every thing and this one thng I can't do really starting to piss me off.
[Captivate General] floppy__:
the app you are lookink for is called "no lock" and does only that :-)
[Captivate General] LeePhan79:
Yeah I figured. Well if I can't disable this annoying screen lock, ill just set the lock out to 30 minutes. This android device has such an unresponsive screen compared to the iphone 4. I find myself having to tap 2-3 times on an icon and the system also LAGS. Any of you expereinicing this or is it just me? For example, i have a full album of really high quality DSLR images and in the gallery mode, pictures sometimes take forever to load when im scrolling through. My old iphone 4 did this instantly. Switching between apps like Email, web browser and MP3 player would not be instant. 2-5 second lag in between. Really disapointing on the captivate.
[Captivate General] iJITSU:
The poster above just gave you the solution for disabling the locking screen so I don't know why you are still posting about not being able to do it.

I experienced so major lagging etc when I first got the Captivate. I hard reset it to start fresh. Since then, I've used the stock launcher, Launcher Pro etc loaded lots of apps and I'm not experiencing lagging anymore with the exception of Exchange email which takes a second to open.

Seems like you were really satisfied with the iphone 4. You keep referring to it like an old girlfriend. "My old girlfriend never hassled me about going out with the boys..." At least, if the Captivate doesn't work out for you, you have a phone to go back to that you were apparently happy with.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
yeah, we have a thread solely for whining in...there was never a need for you to make a new topic about this. it just clutters the homescreen.

simple searching would answer a lot of your questions...root the phone, remove the att bloatware and then restart it and get a task killer. problem solved.

don't use the sammy widgets if you don't like them (i use them and they don't lag) and most importantly, android allows for customization but it's based off linux so heed these words - YOU NEED TO DO IT YOURSELF. in other words, you need to write the app that bypasses the lock screen, you need to write your own themes and you need to quit whining about it.

the iPhone has a lock screen too, i don't know why yours is being laggy but like everything YMMV...so try the fixes (refer to pimp my captivate) and then let us know if you have any other issues...

oh and welcome to the forums, just use the damn search button :D

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_dangers:
I have a desire in Korea running on a WCDMA sim chip on the SK Telecom network. I'm currently in Canada for a while and would like to not have to use roaming. Is it possible to unlock this phone? Are there android 2.2 roms for this phone? If I do this will it disrupt my service with SKT at all? Korea does things a little differently.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve228uk:
I'd head over to the dev forum where you can find a load of unofficial Froyo ROMs.

You can unlock by either paying for an unlock code online and popping that in when using another SIM or flashing the radio which will require root if I'm correct.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_dangers:
Thanks. Whenever I see posts about the desire its always about gsm phones and my sim says its wcdma. Will these roms work?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
WCMDA *is* GSM. More correctly WCDMA is a part of the technology used by most GSM networks to implement 3G.

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliff_dangers:
You're saying that CDMA is the same as GSM? Huh?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] huwwatkins:
WCDMA and CDMA are not related and completley different.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jabbafat23:
Dude, you need to go and Google the difference between CDMA and WCDMA or 3G for everyone else out there. Your WCDMA phone is nothing special over the other phones out there
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] El_Zilcho:
WCDMA uses the same system as gsm (uses interchangeable sim cards) but is used on 3g networks running hsdpa because it was found that the old system (tdma) could not cope with the exponential growth of mobile phones and the fact they will consume more of the network's resources. All WCDMA phones are also equipped with old style gsm radio for when there's no 3g coverage. One worry about roaming to north America is that WCDMA uses different frequencies than the rest of the planet but for straightforward phoning and texting and edge you should fine since the 2g bit of the phone is quad band.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
Not exactly true! They are very closely related technologies, but the actual implementations are incompatible.
