If you are fully rooted, you need to install a custom recovery like amon-ra or clockwork. You won't be able to flash a custom rom with the stock recovery. It will fail checking the sig.

If you are using unrevoked, you aren't fully rooted and you need to go do a full root, version dependent of course. You can find instructions for whichever stock rom version you are running in the dev forum.

am the same why did you get to root it ??
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anthonok:
I dont Know if this is a standard android thing or some dumb samsung thing, but why does the music player stop after the battery drains to 10%. It's my phone if i want to kill it using music then so be it. WTF
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mdsannihilation:
i noticed a similar dilemma with the camera :\

not sure of the percentage though...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anthonok:
I Havent try'd the camera that low yet. I understand that those things may take more power but if im choosing to use it then it's my fault if my phone dies.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] alphadog00:
Video player was the same way, but i could play youtube videos until it died.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lil2good20:
Why would you want to use the music app at that low of battery? Not to be a **** but that's why its called a smartphone :-P
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Anthonok:
Because it's MY phone and I want to do what I want to with it. If I'm at home listening to music idc if it dies. I wouldn't use it if I needed the phone to last that bad
[Captivate Themes and Apps] lil2good20:
Well I hope to see a fix for it, although its not a big deal.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mymansionisabox:
There probably is a fairly simple work around.

I don't know of one yet, but I'd believe that there is.

I feel the same way, its my phone, I want to do that. I sacrifice the 2% that it might take to snap 1 photo.

Plus, I'd prefer if it were just a warning rather than a 'kill-app'
[Captivate Themes and Apps] E_man5112:
Use non-stock apps.

Have not tried it with camera, but music and video players that aren't stock don't give that message. I recommend mVideoPlayer and Doubletwist for video and music respectively. Both free. Rockplayer is another popular one for video.

Hey everyone, I just put together this trick for generating QR codes in Opera Desktop. Useful for sending links to your QR reading phone and such.

Anyway, just go to Menu > Settings > Preferences

Click on the Search tab and add a new search engine.

Then fill out the different fields accordingly:

Name: QR Generator

Keyword: qr

Address: http://qrcode.kaywa.com/img.php?s=8&d=%s

The rest should be blank and make sure "Use POST" is unchecked.

Save it, then just "search" a URL using the new entry in the search bar. A white page with your QR code in the middle should appear.

It's no Chrome to Phone, but it works on all phone platforms.

Enjoy! :D

I just tried flashing the live wallpapers ripped from the samsung galaxy s, they worked great on every 2.1 rom i used, they are not working on 2.2 though. is it possible to patch them to work on 2.2 or do we have to wait for the galaxy s to have a 2.2 update then rip the wallpapers again?

Tasker App

The tasker app as seen on lifehacker.com. It's an app that allows you to run tasks on your phone automatically. For example, you can set it up so it turns the gps on and off anytime you run a gps based program. Or even set it to locations like, turns on the wifi when your at home. Check out the post on lifehacker. It'll explain it better.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] DraginMagik:
Swype - keyboard

adw.launcher - to replace sense

Digital Clock Widget -because i dont use sense

ES Security Mgr - provides basic app level security

Evernote - sync notes

Hypotoad - because he is a demigod

handcent - not as needed on cm6

Glympse - prevents that 'are you almost here yet' phone call

Meebo - i exist on 7 instant messenger networks simulaneously

QuickDesk - a desktop full of shortcuts that you can pull up over running apps

RingsExtended - makes it easier to select any mp3 i choose

ShootMe - take screenshots

SmartShortcuts - consolidate icons by grouping them

VPNConnections - this does vpn connections

WYSE - do you need to VNC/RDC/VMWare

SwitchPro - control panel kinda thing

google voice - virutalize your phone number

appbrain - makes it easy to share favorite apps with folks
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] MercuryTangent:
AudioManager Pro - Gives me full control over volume settings that is quickly accessible. Great for moments of unexpected media audio when I'm stealthily web browsing at work.

Advanced Task Manager - Less useful since Froyo, but great for seeing how much more memory I have now.

QuickDesk - Brilliant little app that lets you access up to twenty shortcuts or widgets without leaving whatever program you're using.

KeePassDroid - Very functional password manager with easy options to copy passwords or user names to the clipboard.

Handcent - SMS replacement, very powerful, makes it much easier to read conversations.

StopWatch - Streamlined timer with a countdown option. Time is displayed on the taskbar which makes it reallyreally easy to tell how much time is left on my breaks.

i was going to give keepasdroid a shot but the desktop companion doesnt work on a mac .. i needed to convert a csv file ... grrr .. there is always something ... guess i am staying with splashid for now
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] cstorer:
I'm not familiar with the desktop companion but keepassdroid is compatible with standard keepass 1.x db files. There's a linux/macos port of the standard keepass program as well. I run keepass on multiple windows and linux boxes as well as keepassdroid on my phone, and use dropbox to sync my single keepass db to everywhere. Only downside is can't currently upload updates from phone via dropbox client so I have to make all changes from a PC, but that aside, it works pretty well.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] madigan82:
Wow QuickDesk is really nice. Thanks for the tip people.

AppBrain + Fast Web Installer - web interface for the market with the ability to download free programs from the web.

Chrome to Phone - send google maps link to your phone and have it open Navigation automatically or copy a phone number and send it to your phone to dial (hey I can be lazy sometimes)

Dell Service Tag Scanner - I do IT work alright. Basically just opens up the warranty status page

Evernote - can't work without it

Voice - Google Voice is a great utility

I have noticed a couple of times not that i will sync a BT device but a little later its removed from the list. Any thoughts? Thanks
[Captivate General] irus:
Update. I have realized that this happens everytime i do a softreset using rebootnow app. Has anyone else had this problem? Thanks
[Captivate General] irus:
Also this happens when i turn my phone off... no one else has this problem ???
[Captivate General] irus:
sorry to keep pushing this thread but its the most annoying bug i've ever had. I tested almost everthing except a hard reset but whenever i do a softreset my bt devices that i have paired with get erased.... any guesses :o
[Captivate General] kc9qix:
I'm having similar problems - if I turn the phone off & back on again, it won't connect to my car. The bluetooth menu still shows that it's paired, but it won't connect (even if I try to manually connect). The only way to get it to connect again is to turn bluetooth off & back on - then it connects automatically.

I've only seen it delete paired devices from the list once - that was when I rooted the phone. It hasn't deleted them since.
[Captivate General] irus:
well my phone is rooted so i'm hoping thats not the problem. Also I just made a lengthy video to show the problem and i will post it in a little bit on here so others can see the problem.
[Captivate General] irus:
so for some reason i can't get the video of my friends iphone 4 :rolleyes: but i was looking through the settings.db file and i found some interesting stuff about the bluetooth devices so i was wondering if anyone could look at this and tell me if there is something wrong also can a couple of people post their settings.db file on here so i can compare. thanks
[Captivate General] ozone777:
I Get This Too!

For me it seems to only "remember" the devices that have phone capability turned on.:confused:

For instance, it never loses my Jawbone headset but it always loses my Kensington LiquidAux which I use to play music through my car's stereo.

But if I turn on the LiquidAux's phone option, the Captivate remembers it.

I've also paired it with the Motorola HT820 stereo bluetooth headset and it seems to remember that one as well but that has phone option too. I'll have to try turning off the phone function and see if it remembers then.
[Captivate General] irus:
yes that is the exact same problem I have, If i disable the phone option for the BT car stereo then in gets erased when i restart my phone but if i keep it enabled then it doesn't seem to get erased. WTF can someone provide a logical explanation for this or can someone who is rooted give a counter example
[Captivate General] ozone777:
My phone is rooted and currently running the JH2 ROM.

But I have experienced this problem with the original ROM as well.

I've tested with three different Bluetooth stereo/phone devices and the result was the same with all three: remove phone option and the profile eventually disappears.

As long as you don't disable the phone option of your bluetooth device it should remain in the Captivate's profile list.
[Captivate General] irus:
are you saying that the jh2 rom does not have this problem??
[Captivate General] ozone777:
On the Contrary...

No, I'm saying that it definitely DOES have the problem. So it does not appear to be ROM specific. There is a JH3 ROM out now that I think I will try today. I'll post my findings once I've had a chance to experiment.

Also, I'd like to know if anyone running any of the other modified i9000 ROMs, like JM5, is having the same problem.
[Captivate General] ozone777:
Well, I just installed the JH3 ROM but the problem is still there.:(

Looks like we'll have to wait for Froyo and hope for the best.

[EVO 4G General] duncanish:
Signal= 1/r^2 unfortunately. So in weak signal areas the outgoing polling amplitude increases geometrically, correct? The Droid X has a program, that among other things, will change the frequency of polling the cell tower in low signal areas that reportedly increases battery life significantly. I know there are some hit or miss apps that use proximity to infer rules about power mgmt but they dont; seem to do power mgmt anywhere as good as the included Droid X software.

Having done everything you can with ROMS, under volting and reducing extra services (facebook, frequent email checks etc.) what else can be done short of buying a CDMA repeater for the house. Are there any apps that address radio usage to that degree. Any Suggestions?

Also, is there any way to build a DIY CDMA antenna that will passively amplify signal? Like standing at the center of a parabolic dish directed at the nearest tower. I imagine the radius of the dish would have to relate to the desired CDMA wavelenghth. Any thoughts, I'm out of coherence.
[EVO 4G General] MCL1981:
A passive repeater requires a significant amount of RF geek power to make work properly if it is even practical and possible in your location. It is pretty rare to make something like that work as intended. You need a very high gain yagi antenna high up pointed at the nearest cell site. And you need an omni antenna inside the house somewhere centrally located. Low loss coax. Maybe a BDA. All of this stuff is extremely expensive with very little improvement.

You're better off getting the Airave 2.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loizoskounios:
Hi, lads.

I've been meaning to ask something. My friend bought an HTC Desire from eBay that was sold as "unlocked", but the seller "forgot" to mention that it was bought as branded and was manually unlocked. When we turn on the mobile, we have the T-Mobile logo and everything works like a charm. My question is, will my friend receive the OTA Update for Froyo or do we have to root and install manually? From what I know the radio update might cause issues. Can anyone shed some light on this?

You probably won't find support for that rom in xda. He's not a member of this forum. If you need help with it you should be able to track him down on the other forum.

[Droid Eris General] abn75:
yes there is still a thread on here about it. the "dev" (ahem) has been perma-banned from XDA, altho he keeps trying to come back under different names. So, no there is no active support for that rom here.
