[Captivate Themes and Apps] skatcat31:
Thought I would reply here to let you guys know, it's actually a hardware incompatibility. The captivate uses a bluetooth 3 adapter that works with bt2, but not bt1.1 that the wii mote uses. Sorry to crush the dream. Looks like someone need s to find a way to get a ps3 controller working...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
This may sound like a dumb question, being I have little knowledge on the subject, but is it at all possible to downgrade the bluetooth firmware or is that impossible because of the hardware?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
That sucks but I would still go with a PS3 controller if that was done
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tiuk:
I believe I read on the cyanogenmod forums that it works with cm7. Don't remember if this post was referring to a captivate or i9000, so may not help us.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] skatcat31:
It was triggering to an i9k, which uses a different bt hardware.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] silentheero:
Just an update- Cognition 2.2 beta uses the bluez stack. I understand that other issues may be preventing it from working but has anyone tried this ROM?

(Can't link yet. Standard http before-

cognition.theidiotshideout.net/mw/index.php?title=FAQ

Ah, actually nevermind, I see from another post that this was attempted also. Back to the drawing board...

We know that there are several bluetooth keyboards that work with the Captivate, but want a controller for gaming. What if a bt keyboard was stripped and remapped into, say a SNES controller (ala Ben Heck), so that using the d-pad would send the signals WASD? I have Tiger GBA, for example, and can remap the keys in there to any hardware button.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] skatcat31:
People have done this several times. It does work, but requires some finesse
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wakeupkeo:
Wow, that was the answer I was looking for, I can relax and give up hope for now. Thanks for the information!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
I read about a zeemote thingy working with Galaxy S though...anyone has tried it?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Guardian_Bob:
FYI, the stack isn't the only thing you need.

In running cwiid, on my Linux box, I found out that *some* bt modules are incompatible with the WIImote. Doesn't matter what software you have, they will not work.

I actually tested this out by taking the same software setup, disconnecting one USB BT module and replacing it with a different module and everything worked.

Am I saying the bt module in the Captivate doesn't support the WIImote? No. Instead I'm trying to set expectations.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SeenNotScene:
I checked the website, does not show the i9000 or the 897 on compatible devices.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
yeah but some dude at android forum says he got it working with some other driver...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jim0watters:
[BUMP!]

Samsung has released 2.2 but still does not work.

Samsung has also released the source for many of their phones.

http ://opensource.samsung.com

It would be great to get this fixed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tiuk:
IMO this is the way to go and would not be that difficult. I bought a mini BT keyboard recently that could easily fit in a classic console controller. Same one is available on deal extreme for about $20
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ilikecl:
Just looking to revive this thread...

Just installed CM7, and tried the Wii Controller IME.

IT WORKED! I haven't gotten it to work with any of the emulators (NESoid, SNESoid, psx4droid), but this is an encouraging first step!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wakeupkeo:
That is fricken awesome! I have been waiting to try cm7 but this totally gives me a reason! Please update if you get emulator connectivity! We are still watching this thread!

Woohoo! I had heard that CM uses the original bluetooth stack, but I really had given up hope.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Clyzm:
Checking the 'use input method' option on the emulator's settings works like a charm. I have my wii remote working perfectly with snesoid and psx4droid.

CM7 however, does not have TV out implemented yet, so we're not at the point where we can use our Captivates as mini consoles quite yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Yeah and using the ROMS that do have output (and faster overclocking) do not give us bluetooth...why cant we ever get the best of both worlds?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ilikecl:
Followed Clyzm's steps and have the Wii mote working for NESoid and PSX4Droid.

However, my version of SNESnoid just goes to black screen every time I try to run it. Guess some work still needs to be done for CM7 on the captivate. =)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wakeupkeo:
CM7 is Success!

Wow it seems like such a long time coming, that I thought I wouldn't care anymore. But Damn! Its great to have Wii Controller Functionality! I have tried it, and with my classic controller attachment to my wiimote, I like the Free WiimoteController app from the free apps. Took a little work to make the emulators working correctly (tip: check the other settings for the Use Input Method checkbox)

Thank you everyone for keeping up the hope!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHiNeR2:
I love the new 2.2 Froyo. I'm currently running Ava V3RevA. I need to return to 2.1 though. Slingplayer Mobile isn't available in the 2.2 Marketplace, and I want to save it to Titanium backup then return to 2.2. I have Nandriod backups (from 2.1) and OMJ still on my sd card. When I restored a nandriod, the market was the exact same as the 2.2. Is this because I flashed the radios and the wimax?

Will I need to go back to the old radios? Or should I just try to flash OMJ? I havent tried that yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
That is really weird. Go into Settings>About Phone>Software and see if you really are on 2.1. If you restored the nandroid properly, it should have downgraded your Rom and changed your market back to the old version.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHiNeR2:
Thanks, I'll retry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sHiNeR2:
I tried again, with no luck. Oh well. I tried to be good and pay for it. I just d/l the free version and it's working great. I guess that $30 will go to a donation for Ava.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bycoo222:
Any thoughts
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kcarpenter:
If you are limited to EVO or Hero - I'd want the EVO for the power and bigger screen and how more development is happening over there on those boards. Just more exciting then what we have ATM.

If you aren't gonna limit your self - I am personally going for the Epic, whenever they decide to release it.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tailsthecat3:
HTC hero. reason: form factor. also, mine is more responsive than the evo's ive used.

anxiously, optimistically awaiting a cdma htc legend.

edit: i used the evo in contrast because i havent played with a sammy epic yet...
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Androidious:
BUT, just think how responsive they've made the hero with these custom roms... I'm sure with some of these roms put on the EVO, like what if they had DD 2.7 for the EVO, it'd be so freakin fast, you wouldn't know what to do with all that speed! (well, I wouldn't mind though, b/c it'd be fast as hell and I wouldn't care, lol, but that's just me).

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tyronekndrck:
i new to this stuff but im want to install the energy rom 4 tilt 2 and i jus wanna know if everything still work fine like all functions of keyboard and the icons and if it run sluggish thxs
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
NRG has included in his ROM a Carrier Provisioning tool. After you flash the ROM, just start the tool, select ATT and the keyboard is automatically configured to ATT's layout, and any other settings which are needed to work on ATT's network. Its super slick, and worked perfectly on my Tilt2.

The Energy ROMs are much better than the stock ROM. Less program memory usage, faster, and more stable. Also, no bloatware, great cooked-in apps, and awesome functionality and looks.

There is still some lag, which is just the way it is with Windows Mobile. But its much better with the Energy ROM. And if you want it even smoother than use the Titanium version. Personally, I use the GTX version, b/c I'm a sucker for eye candy.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] tyronekndrck:
thx

can you tell me where i can get one that works so i dont brick my phone please. and i also saw one on youtube with a moving background screen it was like thunder and clouds. its so cool is that the energy rom and where do i get the keboard rom that configures my keboard thanks very much
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Yoiu might try the ROM Development subforum, where this question should have been posted.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Yeah, there is a whole sub forum on here which contains all the ROMs you will ever need, tools to flash, instructions, etc.

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490

The thread sticky-ed to the top of that forum are extremely useful. The following guide for flashing a ROM is a MUST READ.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

Also, you will need to HardSPL your phone before you can flash a new ROM:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550131

And I highly recommend running Task29 after you HardSPL, and before flashing a new ROM to completely wipe the memory, which will prevent any fragments of the old ROM from interferring with the new ROM (which can sometimes cause random bugs):

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=649191

Read through the first part of the above threads, and at least the last couple pages of each one, too (to say what common or recent issues may have popped up, what problems people have, etc.).

Read and understand all the instructions, and follow them carefully, and you will not brick your phone. It seems intimidating and complicated at first, but its not really that hard (and you will be addicted!). Just prepare properly before you start!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
That is the weather tab on Sense 2.5 (HTC's interface for Windows Mobile, an updated version of Touch FLO 3D, which your ATT Tilt 2 has on it). Any ROM with Sense 2.5 will have that. It is included on all the Energy ROM versions (except the Titanium versions, which does not have Sense).

As I already mentioned, the Energy ROM already contains the Carrier Provisioning Tool which will configure the keyboard. You don't have to download anything extra to configure the keyboard. If Energy ROM is what you want, then here is the thread:

can u please tell me step by step how to flash it i want the same one you have
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] Miami_Son:
Dude, flashing ROMs is something you shouldn't attempt unless you know how to do it. There is tons of info in the ROM Development subforum on the procedure. The procedure is different depending on whether it is an authorized or a cooked ROM. Spend some time reading up on the procedure instead of just asking questions in the wrong subforum.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
Did you read the guides I linked to? The one is called "Flashing your First GSM Rhodium Rom (For Noobs)"! The name kinda says it all. Its VERY step-by-step, and meant to be very simple, straight-forward and idiot-proof. The author put lots of work into these instructions, and did a great job. Use it!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

Just download the ROM you want, and follow the noob instructions. Its pretty simple.

But as I said earlier, its a very good idea to read through all the stickied guides I linked, and browse some through the threads (particularly the last few pages). Random glitches sometimes popup. Glitches that other people encountered and found solutions to. So it can save you a lot of headaches (and anxiety) if/when something random happens during a flash.

[XPERIA X10 General] duffy1807:
Hey guys, , i apolagise in advanced if this topic is coverd, ive tryied to search but didnt find any related topics.....

Anyway...

I went to a 2 day festival took my x10 - WASTE OF TIME!!!!! couldnt even use it!!!!

Battery had died within first day, with hardly any use and 2nd day i had it charged for me up to 92%...

Checking the times every now and then on the 2nd day from 4pm onwards, i noticed by about 6pm my phone was on 50%, so i was curious about this as no wireless connectivity were turned on,

so at this time, i then "downloaded" from (GSM) not 3g. as coverage wasnt that good, advanced task killer.. i killed ALL my apps.. and carried on as normal, (only checking my phone for the time).. by 8pm i was getting messages saying 15% battery... and then 9pm my phone was dead :/ .......

No wifi, no internet surfing (apart from downloading advanced task killer) no bluetooth no gps..

Used my phone for a couple of text's and a couple of phone calls. NO WAY!!! should that have used all my battery up... Is their somthing i dont know about ??????

thanks
[XPERIA X10 General] corruptfate:
You gotta drain your battery s few times when you first get it. Also task killers don't really help with battery life. Imo they worsen it. Thirdly upgrade to the latest firmware
[XPERIA X10 General] qwer23:
+1 to that. Don't use task killers, let android do the work, it knows best what to do. what firmware are you using atm?
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
X10 battery issues has been covered big time ;)

So has in call volume ...

I had the same first few days as you and was pretty dissapointed in the X10 but now things are much better. You do have to cycle the battery a couple of times and you'll see some improvement.

Most of the extra battery life really comes from using newer firmware. Since you didn't mention yours it's difficult to say if you are above or below 023. The 023 firmware seems to be the spot where most of the increased battery life came about.

Since I still wanted more I switched over to a 2600mAh battery from Cameron Sino. Now I have trouble killing the battery ;)
[XPERIA X10 General] im_iceman:
There is something else that might be contributing to the problem... There are a number of apps and home screen widgets out there which are badly written and prevent the phone from sleeping, and therefore drain the battery like a *****... you should try a Factory Data Reset and then add your apps and widgets back in 1 or 2 per day until you have sussed what was causing it.. I had terrible trouble with Weather and Data widget killing my battery for a while..
[XPERIA X10 General] Izzy_Deadyet:
Good point about the Widgets.

It would be nice, as a matter of fact, if there were a topic on Widgets that cause battery drain. I've read a few posts about specific widgets but have never seen an ongoing thread. I'm off to look for volunteers.
[XPERIA X10 General] forzanerazzurri:
I seriously dont get these battery threads. I know this dosent help much, but I honestly get over 20 hours on a charge consistently, with WIFI and 3g on.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
4h only?

Pretty much is a faulty battery/device.

I saw a movie with brightness at maximum using BT with wifi on at the same time and i still had 60%+ left.
[XPERIA X10 General] iphonepimp:
Wow that sucks... I think your battery needs to be replaced.

Mine lasts about 4 DAYS :D
[XPERIA X10 General] metcard:
*#*#4636#*#*

Battery history and make sure the phone is sleeping when not in use.

If its showing 100% or close to 100% then an app or something is preventing your phone from properly sleeping.
[XPERIA X10 General] 3th3real:
!!

my personal experience on two batteries one 2 year old (from x1) and brand new one gave me 7 hours of intense usage wifi ( i don't use 3g ), texting gaming and in the mean time playing music after first update, before was maximum 5 hour , also need to mention i need to remove every task except what i'm working with task killer cause in my case every 2-3 hour for some odd reason i have at least 20 apps restarting again in the system which drain battery like hell , time scape and media scape use lots of battery life in auto connect mode so update it whenever u want them , gps is a drainer too i just use it when i'm desperate be careful some programs may automatically use gps without asking! also should say compare to x1 the speed of the lock is at least 10 times faster and not i can get it indoor near the window as well (its cool) !!!! hope energy roms come here as well cause they will blow your mind!
[XPERIA X10 General] theeedy:
Just update to the latest firmware version and your battery life will be just fine.

If not you coul'd update your phone, root it, install setcpu, and get rid of Timescape & Mediascape.

Now...I've seen ports for almost every possible HTC device out there that are less powerfull tan omnia i8000...Why arent there any ports for omnia i8000...I tried the HTC HD2 port of Froyo with haret.exe...and i cant get it to work...maybe i'm doing something wrong or it maybe because it is a port for yet another HTC device...

Are there any at all?

[General Questions and Answers] famanfwppc:
Well, it seems it's only you and me. Me and you hope this device able to run Froyo at least. Any other? I think it's difficult pherahaps because drivers for i.e. Galaxy S hardware aren't good for i8000 hardware. Pherhaps (but I don't know really) HTC deserves less differences between its devices. I can say only I am very very sad.

I already got Galaxy Tab, but it's so painful to see i8000 at the terminus.

Android 2.1 on Omnia 2 progress

Hey guys, don't miss me out...I'm an Omnia i8000 user too...i heard that the development of Android 2.1 on our Omnia are still under going...so probably more patience in order to get a functional Android on our phone. (It won't be long I think as currently they already received news back from Samsung.)

By the way, below is some link which shows the progress of Android development.(No fake videos and links, all are uploaded from the members of Omnia2droid).

Seriously, just check 'em out and you will know that our Omnia 2 are still not dead yet and somebody out there are currently putting their effort in porting Android to Omnia i8000.

But for the Android Froyo, I think the one that they currently developing is Android 2.1 Eclair, but they claimed that they will port to Android Froyo as soon as the Android 2.1 was fully working on our Omnia 2.

[Vibrant General] larryccf:
hopefully media attention will prompt samsung to addressing it as timely as possible
[Vibrant General] thunderstruck!:
Kind of sad this is what it takes to get them to fix something. I don't think it's been determined whether it's just a software glitch, or something more serious like hardware that requires a revision. Software can be pushed to the phone, where a new chip can't.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
They're already aware. If you think Engadget posting this crap to their mobile site weeks after even THEY experienced their first issue with GPS is what it "takes" for Samsung to acknowledge the problem you're sadly mistaken. This is NO different from what they posted on Twitter
[Vibrant General] blanked:
Am I the only one who hasn't had any issues to speak of with GPS?
[Vibrant General] tweak89:
The more media coverage, however late, this gets the better. Do you think apple would have moved so quickly on their "fix" were it not for the ridiculous media coverage?

I hope some more mainstream news outlets pick up on this. That might force more than a canned response from samsung.

i'm sure they are working on a fix. but they are working on 2.2, launching the epic, etc. as well. i'm fine waiting for a real fix, not some quickly hacked together patch that isn't properly tested.

or cm6, whichever happens first.

[Vibrant General] spiz516:
I wasn't at first either, but then it started. Every device has the problem, just not 100% of the time.

It will be fixed very soon, though. This is Samsung's top priority right now.
[Vibrant General] reuthermonkey:
no. I also didn't have issues with the GPS.

At least, not until I began thinking that I was just missing something and tried one of the "fixes" on my device. Now my GPS reception is noticeably worse than stock.
[Vibrant General] ultra spikey:
Try this...disable "use wireless networks" under "location and security"(this will let the phone use JUST the GPS receiver), then download and install Googles "My Tracks" app. Run that app while driving a long distance, and see just how accurate your GPS is.
[Vibrant General] blanked:
Why would I want to disable that, though? :p

I don't doubt that the issue exists, but I'm not going to go out of my way to experience it. I'm no masochist...
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
If the phone is using Wireless Networks for a location fix in your car the accuracy would be awful and noticeably off.
[Vibrant General] larryccf:
yes - especially if other media pick up on it, and verizon & sprint catch wind of it and actually test theirs before releasing - that would be the real pressure point on sammy
[Vibrant General] jkcheng122:
At least Samsung isn't saying this is our fault or round up a bunch of competitors' phones and say they have the same issues. The fact that they say they're evaluating the situation makes it sound like the fix isn't coming any time soon.
