[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] christpuncher:
My phone was sitting on a wooden bench, and as we all know this phone is crazy slippery. On its own, it slid off the bench into the dirt below (about a 3ft drop). I now have what I would call a chip on the screen, not a scratch. So if we do have gorilla glass, it doesn't do ****. Imma order a screen protector on payday. Also it may be my imagination but I'm pretty sure the chip is getting bigger. I'm sure I'm just tripping balls though.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talltexan:
pictures of the scratch/chip?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NikAmi:
I dunno...it may be getting bigger. I mean, when you get a chip/crack in your car's windshield and don't get it fixed quickly, it can get bigger pretty fast.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greengoldmello:
I highly doubt that this phone has gorilla glass. I put it in my pocket a couple times with the included earbuds and got a couple scratches as a result, one of which is visible when the screen is in use.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshthewaster:
The glass isn't necessarily the top surface. From what I was reading about the stuff they often use other layers. That means if we do have gorilla glass the screen may still scratch, it will just be harder to break.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sareen:
i think that list is out dated because it doesn't say anything about the dell streak and that defo got the gorilla glass
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] s15274n:
Crazy to hear people saying EAR BUDS are causing scratches.... that is NOT what I viewed when I saw an Asian dude ripping a screw into the screen with no scratches.

Doesn't make sense... I'm not doubting someone on here, but I am not experiencing that and the phone has taken a LOT worse on videos you can watch.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chaoscentral:
I can say this much atleast lol earbuds definately would not scratch the screen, my girlfriend got her Vibrant at a Samsung training event a few weeks ago, and I watched her attempt to scratch the **** out of her screen with her keys. not a single scratch on it, I was impressed.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toddasimpson67:
I am using Exchange server for work email and use LockPicker to get by the constant entering of a security code to un-lock the phone. Not sure I should load 2.2 because the developer has informed me that LockPicker will not work with 2.2. If anybody is running 2.2 and Exchange server, does 2.2 offer an option of the screen time out vs. the exchange lockout????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Im running exchange and have to enter the code if the phone sleeps for more than 15 minutes. The time is adjustable, plus the code entry keyboard is huge not a problem to enter at all, overall its a minor pain but workable. The guys that developed lockpicker have an app out that disables this, it is only in the beta stage now and not released to the general public but should be soon.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
if found that any of my end users were attempting to disable/bypass the Exchange security...i would haul their ass to HR faster than they could enter their PIN.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
He He, I'm thinking if I were an IT guy i'd do that too. Lucky for me I'm an end user, I'm hoping somebody comes up with a way to just toggle the time to a longer value say options for 30 - 60 minutes. In reality the new code entry screen is a breeze to use, not such a big deal as before. I'm just wondering if the time delayed is specified by the Exchange server or if it is built into the phone app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
/shudders at the thought.

I haven't played with it yet, but pray there is no way for my end users to set a 60min lockout period. that's just waaaaaay too long. how long do you have before your work desktop auto-locks? 15min? and that is for a device that doesn't move and if anyone else is at it would draw attention.

perhaps you feel that you are not important on the food chain and have nothing important in your email. but as these type devices get more powerful folks keep more data on them... pictures, movies, xls, doc, mp3 etc. plus tons of email (with email addresses, names and numbers), some folks will setup the VPN function and map network folders or setup VNC/RDC connections (server names, ip addresses and domain name).

it's not "JUST" that someone may see who you're going to lunch with or that your racquetball game got rescheduled. its all that other crap that concerns us. stuff that you may or may not have. for things that you probably don't see as being a possible security breach. sorry if this has an overbearing tone, it's one of those things i have to beat into folks head everyday.

"i don't care if they know my password, maybe they'll do my work." /facepalm

no...they won't. :D

ask your favorite IT nerd how many pwd's he has floating in his head and how many times he has to unlock his computer each day.

OK so I have some doubts on whether to flash the leaked update and whether or not it is a TRUE update, or like a reflash where all my info/apps/settings would get reset.

Any light that you guys can flash on this for me would be great.

Thanks:confused:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] topdawgn8:
You would have to wipe your cache before you flash. I tried it to see what would happen and the keyboard didn't install. Just back up your apps/contacts/calendar and you'll be fine.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clipt:
i'm not sure if it wipes everything. you can always do a nandroid before..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
titanium backup + google concacts sync and you wont even notice that you wiped, takes you 15 minutes to set everything back up, instead of a few hours.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
The update doesn't require a wipe, but its always a good idea. I did it without wiping and everything pretty much worked, but I wanted to make sure nothing would go wrong later, so I did a factory reset afterwards. If anything goes wrong, just do a factory reset.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Saturn2K:
It should, but you need to back up a specific thing in Titanium Backup. It's a green entry that says (I think) Email & Messaging.

I use the 1 click root program to root my droid x. then i got an ota update and the root stop work... i click the unroot and the phone restart...phone came back on but still have superuser on it....i try to reroot it say done but none of the rooted apps are working...it never ask superuser to allow...If i open the superuser app it never have anything in it...Could someone help me out to get my phone rooted and apps to working..Thanks
[Droid X General] mortymouse:
The superuser.apk just doesnt remove when you unroot. Nothing is working as you didnt re-root.

If you want root again, simply root it again and you will be good.
[Droid X General] sdgills:
I rerooted it over and over and still didn't w

[Droid X General] LegionTHEFecalExcretion:
Follow the manual rooting process and it will work. I promise.

Same thing happened to me but I had mine re-rooted within 5 minutes.

I NEVER trust those one click apps unless they come from UnrEVOked.
[Droid X General] sdgills:
i have try different ways and still didnt work...could someone please help...
[Droid X General] mortymouse:
Honestly brother, you are giving people nothing to work with. You just say it didn't work. The manual root method will work, so as stated above use that. If you are saying you did use that method, then please describe where it is failing and what things look like. Post the link to the manual method that you have used, there are a few, which did you try, what steps did you follow?

Also, what do you mean it doesn't work/ You said you went into the superuser app and nothing is there. Well, I am confused as nothing is supposed to be there. The app does nothing when you click into it. It only goes into effect when you download and install a program that needs root. (an example is root explorer) When you install that app, it will open up superuser and ask for root permission and you can click to remember, etc and give it access. Explain what you mean by its not working......Unless you have apps that already have supervisor privs
[Droid X General] sdgills:
i went to youtube....... when i type in the command ./exploid[/B it say denied.....Ok when i download rooted apps and try to open the apps superuser never come up for i can click allow....none of my rooted app ask for root permission. When i use the one click root process it say my phone have been rooted...

Follow the ROOT instructions in this post and in the links on that post.

when i get to the step i got to type ./exploid it keep sayin permission denied...I have try over and over still not working..can someone please help...
[Droid X General] mortymouse:
OK, I am going to try and help but only if you post what you have done, what you are following, etc. You cant make a blanket statement and expect people to know where you are at.

What files are you using, are you using the root that I linked you too? How are you typing things in? Dont put the "" around the commands like its typed, just type.

Did you in fact set up ADB correctly? When you push in step 2, what happens? When you go to adb shell after that, what happens, when you change directory's to sqlite_stmt_journal in step 4 what happens? etc.

If you want help man, you gotta be specific. This is why you are not getting a lot of replies.
[Desire General] Blank2k2:
Hey guys, been awhile :)

Finally upgraded from my Stellar (Kaiser) to HTC Desire a couple of months ago but was resisting rooting it as i believed it spoilt my Kaiser (then decided it was just crap.)

Anyway, I hate branding + i wanted Froyo, so i've been playing with my Desire today & I've made a gold card, ive followed the guide via dev forum which was brilliant.

I was expecting a blank slate to install a selected Rom from but to my surprise, found it had a rom after the rooting process, So i figured this was a Stock rom (just what i wanted), tried to Update, downloaded, rebooted, progress bar, few seconds later a red question mark appears & it reboots again.

So i assumed maybe there was something limiting about rom installed, so i downloaded....

"RUU_Bravo_HTC_Europe_1.15.405.1_Radio_32.30.00.28U_4.05.00.11_release_121684"

and running the exe file i end up going through the standard RCC routine & getting an "Error wrong bootloader version use the correct version" message.

Any suggestions?

I've probably missed something obvious, but ive been searching & trying for a couple of hours now so if anyone can point me in the right direction from here would be great

Thanks :o

Edit: Just noticed posts saying about using the gold card to do updates, i shall try that & post back.

Edit 2: Tried using gold card + different rom (Stock WWE) seemed to do the trick, don't know if that was the right thing to do but it certainly worked, OTA Froyo downloaded & installed too.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wakeupkeo:
OK, granted I don't know much but maybe this thread can group peoples Ideas on a suitable controller for the captivate.

I know the WII Controller app currently doesn't work for us, but we do see that the controller hardware does offer the opportunity to pair with the phone over bluetooth.

I guess the first step is to successfully get the pairing, is this possible somehow? would a successful password hack make it happen?

I guess second would be to have it recognize buttons in a keyboard fashion to work with most emulators.

I know the developer of the existing wii controller app has said we probably get his app working, and I don't blame hime for not trying to get every phone to work, but i feel there is enough talent here to maybe get our own solution?

Or, if anyone actually has a better solution to the hope for an external controller, please help us all!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Wait the WII app does not work for us? I was about to hit BB :-(
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wakeupkeo:
Unfortunately the test app didn't work for me, and the developer has the captivate on the list of phones that currently are not compatible and most likely will not be compatible in the future with his software.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] shaolin95:
Ouch :-(

Not good news but better than me buying the wiimote for nothing.

I am assume is a matter of time before someone comes up with one anyway
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mesasone:
Has anybody tried pairing a Playstation 3 controller with the phone? PS3 + HDMI via USB cable would make a great portable gaming console for when out of town at family, etc.

I'd definately contribute cash towards getting a working driver if needed.

EDIT: Also, MSI has a bluetooth gamepad that works with the phone. Google MSI BGP100. My biggest complaint/concern is that the controller doesn't seem to be designed to accommodate a phone in landscape mode, so that's a bit of a drawn back for playing games on the go (as opposed to hooking it up to a TV or monitor, where it wouldn't be an issue).
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bfgarzilla9k:
I actually emailed the dev about future compatibility for our phones, he said it's samsungs proprietary bluetooth drivers that are incompatible with the wiimote.

If we were to flash a vanilla android rom or something, it would work just fine.

EDIT:

"Hello,

thank you for your question.

You're right about the frequency of these kind of requests. Newer Samsung phones unfortunately use proprietary bluetooth stacks (developed by Samsung) instead of the default that is in Android, named Bluez. That proprietary stack doesn't support the type of connection that wiimotes need to connect.

So, the only way currently for you to have this app working is if you get rid of that bluetooth stack. If you want to, you can root and flash your phone with a custom ROM. "Vanilla" ROMs have had success with other non-compatible phones in the past. Vanilla just means a type of ROM that is made from code that originates directly from Google, not from Samsung. One known creator of good quality vanilla ROM is cyanogen from xda-developers.com, but I don't believe his ROMs can run on the Galaxy (yet).

A friendly word of caution: rooting and flashing probably voids your phone's warranty and you also loose all the data (like contacts, app settings, etc) so MAKE BACKUPS before doing anything.

Best regards,

Piki"

So has anybody confirmed if this works or not with the Captivate?

I'm thinking since the wiimote wont work via bluetooth, no bluetooth gamepad will work.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Shwiggie:
Has anyone ever tried interfacing a standard controller through the microUSB port? Or custom building such a device?

[09:00] <wakeupkeo> anyone get any of the last betas to work with a wii controller app?

[09:01] <wakeupkeo> As I understand it, all that was required was the bluetoothe bluez stack, but I hav had no success

[09:07] <NiXXeD> wakeupkeo: it's not just bluez

[09:08] <wakeupkeo> thanks for the answers

[09:08] <wakeupkeo> does that mean bluez is still included, just isn't being used in a compatible way yet?

[09:08] <NiXXeD> i think bluez was added at some point, but it didn't fix the issue

[09:09] <NiXXeD> i don't know what it is that is needed

[09:09] <wakeupkeo> yeah, I

[09:09] <wakeupkeo> I'm wondering if the app developer needs to add captivate now or something

[09:09] <NiXXeD> no

[09:10] <NiXXeD> it is our driver issue we need to fix

[09:10] <wakeupkeo> it should work if we have our bluez set up right?

Hell yeah! Android and playstation- my next phone. I used to think I needed a keyboard, but after theCaptivate I realize I just want game controls and great games. Android can handle everything else fine with just the screen.

But I have learned not to get my hopes up for a release date. I had to wait almost nine months past for my sony-ericson k800i before my first android phone, the G1. Best non-smartphone I ever had, but finally had to get a euro model, they teased me then only released it there.
