Are we not gonna be able to upgrade to the 1.40 version anytime soon?

EDIT: Should mention that I used toast's method to root
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlrdxrevengex:
i have pri 1.40
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muf454:
are you rooted?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xlrdxrevengex:
nope not rooted you must have posted your edit after my post
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] muf454:
yes :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
currently there is no way to upgrade the PRI. flashing the engineer build moves you to PRI 1.34 which right now is irreversible (including going back to unrooted). Hopefully in the future a way to update is found (likely when a RUU or OTA changes it) however till then we are stuck on 1.34
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Well you can flash a zip hex edit it to say 1.40 for cosmetic purposes, but it will still be 1.34.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mikevillarroel:
ok,what's the deal with the PRI?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] im0rtalz:
Some are saying that 3g speeds is significantly faster on the 1.40 pri and also there are some who are afraid that having a 1.34 prl pretty much means the phone has been rooted. Not sure if it would be a problem for those who has warranty issues.

Anybody know how to do this, it is extremely annoying to have to remember to select google calendar every time you make an entry.

http://androidforums.com/samsung-ca...-calendar-default-when-adding-new-events.html
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Has anyone figured this out yet? I HATE that I can not change this to default to google's calendar instead of "my calendar"
[Captivate General] sola fide:
I agree this is really annoying. I've had to go back and change multiple entries because I forgot to make that adjustment when creating an event.

However in the link above someone made the suggestion of downloading Jorte calendar because it has setting to make google the default. Did you guys give that a try?
[Captivate General] siehead:
I tried Jorte, don't really like it to be honest, feels a bit cluttered and unintuitive to me.

Still waiting for a better alternative...
[Captivate General] belyle:
I'm using Jorte right now. I like the widgets that can display my calendar on the home screen. However, the settings are cryptic at best, and the buttons in the app don't have labels and seem to do different things with each press...

However, it is worth it to have my calendar correctly sync with google without me having to re-select the calendar for each new appointment. I make a LOT of appointments on my phone, and when I realized they weren't syncing, I had to change a LOT of appointments.
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Has anyone found a better solution to this bug yet?
[Captivate General] onepoint:
Bump for this one. Is this something that would need changed at the OS level? I.e., no quick fix via a small app
[Captivate General] jayrod88:
Devs, we are calling you!!!!!!!
[Captivate General] thindery:
i'm using gemini calendar. it works great and has some other features.
[Captivate General] jeff.leonard:
This is fixed in the new 2.2 update; you can completely disable the "my calendar" app and use the stock google calendar and widget.
[Captivate General] JvKintheUSA:
I believe Froyo fixes the calendar issue. ;)
[Captivate General] jhnstn00:
It does work on froyo.

So I just got done installing fresh evo 3.1.0.1. I wiped everything 3 times and flashed the rom, radio, etc. Everything seems to be working except most of my downloads are missing in the market. Not a big deal, but when I try to download anything from them market it just continues to say "starting download" but it never starts. Can anyone here tell me why? Everything else works great including wifi tether. Thanks in advance for any help anyone has.

After rewiping and reinstalling some of my apps were able to dl. Then it stopped working again. Rewipe reinstall, same thing. I eventually realized this was only happening after installing juice defender (not even using just installing). Wiped, reinstalled again without juice defender and now as far as I can tell everything is working again. Thanks for the support guys! This was my first time flashing roms and I was a bit nervous but it worked out.

Now my next task, can someone tell me how to configure an update server so I can use fresh updater??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] omegasun18:
you can use fresh updater for the rom as is to get themes working you go to the tweaks tab, hit menu and go to configuration.click theme update settings, thenmanage theme severs, hit menu and select update features theme servers from the very top. it should show you fresh patches, click it and then you can exit updater rerun ti and should beable to sync themes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korrin84:
Awesome! Thanks so much. I am sorry but I am very green behind the ears.I'm not really that tech savvy, also I am new to android. LOL anyway I'm having fun so far with my rooted evo running fresh 3.1.0.1. Thanks guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] korrin84:
Still need help!

So I have now realized that my market dl's are still not working. Sometimes they do , sometimes they still just say "starting dl". If i leave it at the "starting download" screen and go to bed the downloads eventually go through and are done when I wake up. Any other ideas people? My downloads were always lightening fast with fresh 2.1.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Hi there, with the Desire about to launch on Telus in Canada, two questions:

1) If you've already gotten the 2.2 update - does the UnrEVOked root method still work?

2) Has the "exploid" root method been applied to the Desire as well (as it has with Nexus One, Droid X, and many many other phones)? If so is it working on the 2.2 update?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prove:
No, nothing works yet.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Ok. And how about if the Telus Desire comes with a rootable 2.1... is there a way to upgrade to a pre-rooted Desire 2.2 that is otherwise identical to HTC's version of 2.2?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
if your desire comes with a hboot of 0.75 or 0.80 you can root, if it comes with froyo and the new hboot 0.92 it cant be rooted yet :) obviously if you can root it, you will have no trouble upgrading to one of the modded official froyo roms that are pre rooted and have the new hboot removed
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mansoor5:
hi guys

since i updated my desire i cannot access root does any one have solution

for this problam.thxx
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
Good to know!

Is there any sense as to whether a Desire ROM from one region will work on a phone from another that comes with different 3G frequencies? I know this causes problems with the Milestone, but it isn't an issue with the Nexus One.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmstlist:
A HowardForums member reports that the Telus Desire comes with:

kernel:

2.6.29-e5576724

Build Number:

2.1Update1

No root reports yet, but would any problems be anticipated based on this info?
[Desire General] Harnec:
I have an interesting problem with my phone (updated to froyo via OTA)

whenever I move a app to sd card or from sd card to phone the widgets on scenes reload (you as if the phone is turned on first time) and the weather widget stays as a grey rectangle box.

It is only fixed if I remove it and add again as a widget. I believe this weather widget situation also causes battery drain. I am not sure though, does the same happen to you if move an app to sd or vice versa

I have even tried hard reset, still the same. weather widget doesn't function after moving an app to sd.
[Desire General] belperite:
I have this problem too. Unbranded UK Desire with OTA Froyo :(

Tried a hard reset to no avail.
[Desire General] remmyhi:
Same problem here. Nothing helps.

Sent from my ZX Spectrum using Froyo_zx81
[Desire General] TomReigate:
Same here also............
[Desire General] Harnec:
anyone else ? or anyone with a solution :)

can it be related to SD card ?
[Desire General] aindow:
It happens to me too. Orange UK desire, debranded using a WWE ROM and OTA updated to 2.2. Rebooting also brings back the weather.

I just wish the news would automatically update.
[Desire General] brummiesteven:
Are you moving anything that has a widget?

I have Vanilla android but you can't move anything with a widget to SD Card (for example, last.fm). If you do, those widget(s) wont be avaliable for selection.

It could be possible that if you're moving something with a widget, that particular widget is lost and thus all widgets are refreshed in the launcher causing a freeze.
[Desire General] Harnec:
It happens with every app I move to sd or from sd to phone. Refreshment of widgets is not a problem it happens very fast and doesn't cause any issues.

However, something goes wrong with weather widget. It does not refresh correctly, it stays as a big grey rectanagle w/o any icon or info on it.
[Desire General] sptyler:
I'm also suffering from this problem. I get it whenever I mount my phone as a disk drive. I've also noticed that it's only the large weather widget that won't refresh.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
How did I miss this thread?! Yes, I too have this problem and I already described it here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7525995#post7522835

And I can add 4 more people with this issue. Yup, in my office this phone is very popular :) So we tested it on every phone we have. This deffinitely should be reported to HTC. I did.
[Desire General] dereck66:
When you move the app to SD card, not entire app will be moved, however the mojority part does.

So if you move the app which contains widget to SD card, it is highly possible the widget is also been moved. And the phone will not have the access to SD card when you mount it as a disk drive via USB cable, that also means your phone will not be able to retrieve any data from SD card.
[Desire General] scoobyspin:
Yup I also get this when I mount my phone as a disk drive.

I think its because when u mount it on the pc it demounts it from the phone so all the apps on the SD card get removed from all the menus and desktop links get messed up and it reboots sense.
[Desire General] mnaeh:
Nope, I think this article is not about this bug (and it is a BUG). Five phones I tested behave the same way - widgets go nuts after connect / disconnect phone from PC and upon moving any "SD card safe" application to SD card (tried Compass, Rock Player, Slide Puzzle game...)

Aforemetioned article is just a help for people whose common sense is not so common :) Of course I would never try to move a widget on SD card, but I guess some people would...
[Desire General] bukka1:
What OS are people on? As I am experiencing this problem also. Widgets reset as soon as I connect the phone to my PC. I'm running Win7 64bit which this happens on yet on my work laptop running WinXP 32bit the phone mounts fine and not a single widget resets.

Idea's?
[Desire General] mnaeh:
I use Windows 7 32bit. Will try XP tomorrow... But widgets also behave funny on initial boot, in which case if you are "pushing it" weather widget can also crash.
[Desire General] bukka1:
Done some more messing about and this is defiantly related to move apps to sd card. I moved an app to the sd card and tried on both my work laptop and my home pc. Both running different OS's and it happens on both. I then moved the app back to the phone and connected the phone to the laptop and then the PC and the widgets did not reset.

I've raised call with HTC so hopefully that they will be somewhat helpful but not holding my breath.
[Desire General] Edward Lowy:
FroYo, unbranded Desire, I find the Weather widget goes blank and cannot be reactivated, but I think this only happens when I am in an area that does not have a specific weather report.

My solution is just to remove the widget and then add it again to the desktop. Frustrating but only takes a moment.
[Desire General] u1008:
Happened with my phone as well when I updated to 2.2 yesterday. (unbranded, unrooted, 32 GB sandisk sd card)

I can only speak for myself, I have never tried, and never will try to move any weather app or widget to SD card but the problem is still there.

As soon as I move any other apps to SD (for instance Opera mini) the weather widget dies, it goes grey and cannot be refreshed. The only solution I have found is to remove the widget and them put it back again, then it works and updates.

I say this is a software bug, and not a problem between the desire screen and 40 centimeters away :D
[Desire General] mnaeh:
Tried different operating systems today: XP 32bit, XP 64bit, Windwos 7 32bit, Windows 7 64bit. The bug, as described above, persists!

Reported to HTC...
[Desire General] Negi84:
the message widget has also changed and the contact widget refresh it self very offten
[Desire General] spooky2977:
Move to SD

Same problem here. I realized ...The problem with the weather widget and the reloaded widgets only apperas if there is an app moved to sd-card. i moved all apps to phone-storage and the problem with the usb-disk-mount disappeared.

i mounted the htc desire several times as an usb-disk and the weather widget and all other widgets did'nt reload again. then i moved one app to sd-card and after the next usb-mount the weather widegt stop working and several apps start reloading..It looks like an bug in apps2sd..that should be reported to htc...
[Desire General] mnaeh:
HTC ignores us

I reported this issue to HTC over a week ago and still got no reply. Sent another question and nothing... Like they are waiting for us to forget this problem and this thread to fall beyond 10th page, where nobody will ever found it.

Well, I will not forget this so easily! I want to transfer my apps to SD card without problems! And all I asked them is to confirm this issue and assure me that they are working on it. No ETAs, no promises. But no... That was obviously too much for them to admit.

Please report this bug directly to HTC. Maybe if we are persistant something good will happen after all :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] starplaya93:
So I returned my Evo to a sprint store today and they gave me a replacement phone that was previously used, as they are out of new evos.

When I got home I was in the process of rooting it when I realized that it doesn't have the Liquid damage indicator at the bottom of the phone, under the battery cover. This is my 3rd evo, so I know there is supposed to be an indicator there. I immediately returned to the store and the guy said not to worry about it because they don't even look at the indicator they looked at "the phone itself"

I called customer service after I left and they refused to help, saying I need to deal with the store... Its funny how during my first 30 days of sprint, CS was very kind and helpful every time I called, but now that i'm locked in that is no longer the case....

If I ever have to send the phone to HTC for a fix i'm screwed because they will think its been tampered with. Should I go back to the store and speak to the manager?

The phone itself seems to be in good condition. No scratches on the outside or anything. However, it was activated 7/23 and it has 1172 used minutes on it...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
If you're past your 30 days then you are stuck with a) that phone b) an ETF if you leave sprint (which wouldn't be THAT bad considering you have an EVO you could sell) or c) whatever you can talk them in to giving you.

Sprint is now within their right by contract to provide you with a used/refurbished phone. If you want HTC to do anything with it then you should speak to someone there about the situation, see what they say.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] simplicity baby:
Call retentions (I think they're called accounts services now). Honestly, I never bother with CS because they don't know crap 100% of the time, and will then transfer you 99% of the time to someone else who also doesn't know crap. The people at retentions are the only ones I've noticed that can do things to make you wanna stay with Sprint, whereas CS always made me wanna go to another cell provider. You can call them directly @ 877-775-4886.

[Captivate General] alme1304:
Is there a program that can sync my media to the Captivate's internal memory? I can't seem to get Kies to work, Itunes agent is only able to one playlist(or more, but then it just combines the playlist), and windows media player(which doesnt play nice with Itunes).

Right now I'm in the process of setting up songbird, which is capable of syncing to other android phones out of the box, besides that it has addons, based on FF, can import from Itunes, etc. All these features move it to the top of my list, but I just can't get it to work right. Any help?

Edit: I was able to sync pictures with songbird
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
Double Twist.

http://www.doubletwist.com/dt/Home/Index.dt

Its like itunes but for everything other than apple products.

and it does conversion on the fly, and a bunch of other awesome things.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
This is what I did.

Google "Samsung captivate USB driver download" click on the actual Samsung site, find Samsung captivate on the list and click software and then click on the zip files. Then extract and install them while your Samsung is connected to the USB. Don't unmount or debug it at all. Ok now after the installation is complete restart the computer. After restart, log in and unplug the Samsung and replug it, it should work like what I did. Hopefully it help. If not let me know.
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
seriously just download double twist.

click the link and watch the video on the front page, and you'll be convinced.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
As for synchronization, I just plug em in and drag files into the device, as for music go to window media player and click on sync you can put music thru them. (As my first replied, make sure its on Samsung kie setting.)
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
@Berserk87, thanks I would take a look into that. They are just like iTunes but it says beta O.o...
[Captivate General] alme1304:
I've also tried doubletwist, can't get that to work either, which makes me wonder whether I have the right drivers installed. Is there a way to delete all traces of the captivate from my computer and start from scratch? I use revo uninstaller but that on gets ride of Kies( i suppose).
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
I never heard there's x84 O.o, but I know it happens to some users with window 7, x32 and x64. So I have 64bits and yeah set the Samsung as Samsung kie, turn off debug. Just go back to where it was first set when you got them.
[Captivate General] alme1304:
when i tried that it said the drivers were not signed, did it anyways but double twist still cant see it
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
Did you restart the computer after the software was installed? It should work since I did it on my girlfriends computer.
[Captivate General] alme1304:
Ok, So I completely removed everything Samsung, song, double twist, kies from my computer.

I'm going to try again...When I first connect it, should the mass storage be on or off? and in what mode should the phone be?(Kies, mass storage, PC internet, or media player?)
[Captivate General] tenble:
I'm using a HTC Desire, personally I've tried using DoubleTwist and found it ultra ultra slow. It seems to take forever ( hours ) to perform the synchronization between my itunes library (~30+gb worth of files) and phone (~7 gb).

Currently trying out Songbird, which seems to be much much faster. But I'm getting problems where the sync is incomplete and only maybe 3 out of 50 songs in a playlist actually gets transferred over. Bizarre.

Waiting to try out HTC Sync with iTunes.

Still hoping for some decent two-way sync like what I used to enjoy on my iPod.
[Captivate General] Tenor_Jones:
Any idea how to do this on Ubuntu 10.04? I dual booted with Windows XP for my iPhone for 2 years and it sucked. I'd love to have my Captivate syncing with Ubuntu. Maybe Songbird? Rhythmbox? Thanks for the help.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
OK, have it set as "Samsung kies", turn off the debugging. Then since you have the software installed, plug them in. And hey I send you private message hope you got it.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
Guys, if you want to sync the simple way. I would go with window media player sync. Seems quicker to me when I put songs in it.
[Captivate General] dewt:
I have the same problem with the usb mtp driver on my phone.windows 7 x64 won't install it. Fails every time. I have installed and uninstalled every damn samsung related driver I could find, removed them from the registry, but still no luck. Maybe I will try it on one of my x86 machines later today.
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
~.~ I wish this xda have Instant message so I can you guys out. :( I did the drivers again and it works for me. It might be something you guys didn't do, or miss out while doing it.
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
doubletwist is a pretty good program to use..make sure its set to mass storage on ur device
[Captivate General] alme1304:
I did exactly what you told me and it still didnt work. I think that im just going to use WMP, if I ever get it to see my phone
[Captivate General] mlb1988:
Oi. Lets see if this work the way I list.

(Before doing so, reset your phone as default or turn off the debugging, don't even unmount the storage. Have it set as Samsung Kies.)

I. Plug in your Samsung captivate, and let the window complete the search for MTP application drivers. It will say fail.

II. Since I can't post links here due to security from XDA. Try to bear with me a moment. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/detail/supportPrdDetail.do?menu=SP01&prd_ia_cd=01010100&prd_mdl_cd=SGH-I897ZKAATT&prd_mdl_name=SGH-I897&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P (this should get you to the zip file)

III. Download it. Before extracting, create a new folder name Samsung captivateband drag that, zip file into the folder you just created. Then extract inside the folder.

IV. click where you see says install. You will be expecting 3 security pop ups requesting your permission. Proceed all 3.

V. You're all set and let the USB search device do their work. Those 2 things will fail tho. So after both says fail. Unplug your device and replug it.

Those step should work since I did it repeatly.
