Is anyone else having this problem? The vibrant "email" app doesnt seem to be retreiving my emails. I set it up just like my nexus one using IMAP. but for some reason nothing is coming through unless i manually refresh...

any ideas?
[Vibrant General] techpreneur:
I had to set mine to 15 mins. I had it set at 5 mins before. Some servers specially google don't like you connecting every 5 mins.

[Vibrant General] dills84:
I have mine set hourly and its still not working. Also, usually IMAP is pushed and instant, so setting intervals doesnt matter. Or maybe this app doesnt recognize that like the stock android one?

Boy i hope a vanilla android ROM comes out for this thing!

[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development] defeat2:
Hello! I'm searching for the official 1.37 (or earlier) rom for my touch diamond, does anyone know where to get it? I've searched without success.

On www.htc.com you can only download the two latest ones, not the 1.37.

I want that rom because of the animations, which are deleted in the newer roms.

Thank you!

Using Boot Animation Changer LITE, I attempted to change my boot animation. Now, I have none at all (stuck with the Google ANDROID logo), but I have the stock boot image (the logo) still at the beginning of boot. There was no directory called bootscreen in /data/media or /system/media.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] Armyjon88:
You create a bootanimation.zip file and place it in /data/local I believe I'll have to get back to you.

Edit: yes it is /data/local here's a link that you can get the file from extract the zip cd to /data/local within the extracted files and cp or adb push the .zip file to /data/local on your phone. This is not the stock boot animation I'm simply showing you a quick way to fix a boot animation without actually fixing the root of the problem.

Originally posted in general. Sorry.

My Evo won't charge unless it is turned off. When the phone is on, the usb won't give me any mode option. Phone doesn't see the sdcard. I've tried three different cards. PC won't see the phone. I have usb debugging checked. Device manager gives me three qualcomm CDMA Technologies and can't find drivers. Downloaded qualcomm drivers. Device manager now shows them as samsung items. Everything on the phone works except for apps using the sdcard. With the vol down and power the phone will read the PC36IMG.zip of the sdcard and load and run it. After rebooting it still doesn't recognize the sdcard. Using fastboot the device manager gives me Android Devices, but I can't use adb commands. I get and error device not found. Any help?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
it should charge anyway, even without the drivers...but, sounds like you need 'em to me. they're in the forums...somewhere...or, you could just get the most recent sdk, and update the drivers using devmgmt.msc (i'm assuming you're on windows)

The phone only charges when the phone is off. I've downloaded the latest sdk drivers. I tried the SD Card Fix, but I can't get to an ADB shell.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airauto:
The phone worked great for a couple of weeks, but when I was using Rom Manager to load a rom, I got an error and a red triangle. I pulled the battery and started the phone. It couldn't load the sdcard, it wouldn't give me usb options. It did give me a short battery life and no way to use ADB commands. I can't use rom manager or titanium backup or nand to restore backups. I really need help please!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
if you can't get to a shell, that probably means that an adb devices command is not seeing the device.

i'll refer you to the earlier statement about you not having the drivers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airauto:
I checked and I have downloaded android-sdk_r06-windows.zip. I believe these are the latest drivers. They worked fine until it crashed while I was using rom manager to load a different rom. It seems strange that everything works except for charging while on, usb and the sdcard.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
just having the sdk doesn't enable drivers. if you are on windows, in the 'search' field (or in a cmd shell) type

devmgmt.msc

there, you will probably see a device , i think it will have a yellow triangle and an exclamation point. right click on that device, choose the option that allows you to install drivers. then, browse for drivers (make sure you have the option to include subfolders checkmarked). the drivers are located in the 'usb drivers' folder in the sdk folder. once you have the 'usb drivers' folder highlighted, just choose 'okay', and it will search that folder and subfolders for the appropriate driver.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airauto:
I've done that. When I use devmgmt.msc and I connect my phone it gives me three unknowns called Qualcomm CDMA Technologies MSM. I point these to the drivers folder and it doesn't recognize them. I downloaded qualcomm drivers and it recognized them as samsung devices and these don't work. When I hook up usb while in fastboot devmgmt.msc gets one device called android devices, but it still will not recognize the sdk drivers. Something happened when the phone crashed. Is there a way to do anything with hboot or fast boot or the other items in that menu to get the phone to recognize adb commands. The phone does load and install PC36IMG.zip, but the phone still acts the same, no sdcard, no usb and no charge.

How do you Run from a terminal emulator in Android since I don't have ADB?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] timothydonohue:
you have to get a terminal emulator. and, you have to have downloaded those files to your sdcard. you also have to be rooted already.

Ok thanks, I finally got it all working. After a week of learning about ADB, Terminal and Fastboot commands not to mention the structure of the Evo file system, charging, usb and sdcard are all working thanks to everyone contributing to the forum.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdr6382:
could you provide a step by step to how you got this issue resolved?

my brother's phone is experiencing the exact same symptoms you described.

we have been at it for a week.

we too cannot get the "adb shell" command to work when trying to use SDK.

we get the error "device not found" after typing "adb shell".

Im not sure its being done correctly either.

please assist, your help is greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airauto:
I used this thread:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=695243

Read through the whole thread and download the files. Install them on the root directory of your sdcard with a card reader/writer. Put the sdcard back in your phone.

Now to use the thread you have to get into recovery.

Hold vol down and press power on your phone.

Plug in the usb, and open device manager on your PC.

Choose recovery and make sure Android USB Devices show up in device manger

On the PC, get to a DOS prompt and change dir to where you have adb and fastboot and follow the thread for SD Card Fix and USB Fix exactly.

Good Luck!

And thank you to Calkulin for the thread!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdr6382:
Yeah I had found that thread as well, I get all the way up to the adb commands.

when I type adb shell, I get "device not found".

also, just to verify, I boot the phone down and turn it on using "down volume" and "power".

when the "HBOOT" screen shows up and the scan finds nothing, I select "fastboot", and leave it there.

then back to the pc:

before I type "adb shell', I point to the directory "c:/users/desktop/android-sdk-windows/tools".

once the directory is pointed to "c:/users/desktop/android-sdk-windows/tools", I input "adb shell" command.

Is this correct?

That is the procedure I follow and I keep getting "device not found", and yes my sdk is fully updated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] airauto:
Yes, but don't do ADB shell. In HBOOT hit the vol down button to highlight recovery. Hit the power button to select recovery and let it sit there. Go to your pc check your device manager. Then change dir to where you have ADB. Fastboot is also there

Fastboot is an executable program same as ADB. At the prompt just type the commands for the sdcard fix. ie:

fastboot oem enableqxdm 0

fastboot reboot

Your sdcard should be recognized. For the next section you will need to get the Android Terminal Emulator from the Android Market and enter the commands in it.

Have fun!

[Captivate General] ua549:
Because of all of the issues about the Captivate S I've read about on this forum, I've decided not to purchase one. I travel a lot (read GSM/UMTS) and need an unlocked handset for local numbers. I also depend on GPS navigation that isn't functional on the Galaxy S.

Goodbye Android, hello Symbian ^3 in the form of a Nokia N8 I just ordered.

I really appreciate the good info I got from this forum. Next year I'll again consider an Android handset.
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
And Symbian dont have ANY problems? That is hard to believe.
[Captivate General] accinfo:
ha great choice, not.
[Captivate General] kkeo:
To each his own I suppose... have you tried using the Captivate? I have a feeling with even all the supposed negatives, it still blows any Nokia away. The GPS isn't a big deal for me and I'm sure a sim unlock is just a call to ATT away (I've called and asked for 3 unlock codes for an LG and two blackberries just last year).

The problem with coming to this type of board for the kind of advise you're seeking on getting a new phone is, a lot of people complain about the negatives. People are seeking out fixes or mods for this issue or that.

To be fair, I'm not a big fan of Nokia or Symbian. I owned a 5800 XM and it was pretty horrible and the N8 or Symbian ^3 doesn't really do it for me. The apps are sorely lacking, messaging and email left a lot to be desired. I'll probably get another iPhone 4, jailbreak it and run ultrasn0w baseband unlock so I can use international sim cards before going with the Nokia again.
[Captivate General] madjsp:
I can tell you from personal experience that one of the better phones from Nokia in the past 3 years is the e71.

The n81 is a very cheap feeling phone, and you'll hate the buttons. The n82 is good, but only has european 3g.

n95 is still a beast of a phone, and the 8gb model is nice.

You should be looking at the n8 if you really want to go with symbian, or wait for their S-Series to come out running MeeGo!

And it is not symbian^3, it is just s60.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Go to any forum for any phone and you will see hundreds of negative posts, but most issues don't effect most people.

I have not had the gps issues or many other problems. Also, the users with no problems never post.

[Captivate General] b3asty:
Wow. I used the GPS tweak on this forum and my Captivate has been rock solid since the tweak! I use the Google navigation all the freaking time! By the way, the Google navigation is > the ATT Navigation (AKA Telenav) & it's free!! Sorry to hear you didn't utilize the level of detail available to you. Good luck with the Nokia.
[Captivate General] kashc2:
returned my captivate for an iphone 4 today...i wanted to love this phone and it just didn't work out. today was real bad and i had enough of it. it was lagging really badly, it would take 10-15 seconds to open an app, screen froze up for a good 30 seconds, and phone wouldn't turn on from being locked. gps is still an issue, even with the tweaks...it takes 15-30 seconds to lock on which is not good enough for me. The music player is terrible, its very sluggish and theres no set program to transfer music/videos/whatever onto the phone. It took me an hour just to transfer 300 songs over to the captivate...wtf. android market wasn't that great, the facebook app was terrible for it btw. there are some good points to the phone, it has nice widgets, swype, camera, and videos are amazing on this. i blame samsung, they pushed this phone out before it was ready, if they had waited and fixed the problems it would've clearly blown iphone out of the water.
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
Wow..... Seems like you had a "special" captivate.
[Captivate General] SlimJ87D:
Wow, I'm just really surprised that you researched some Captivate problems but didn't bother to research all of Symbians problems.

The biggest problem not having as much features as any Android phone does.

I've been happy with my Captivate, and it does everything I need it to do and a lot of times it does more than I need it to.

I even save $15 a month with free SMS with google voice. Picasa syncs and saves all my pics to my phone from my PC, and so does my calender.

Captiate has been the best phone I have ever had.
[Captivate General] tytdfn:
nope. mine was starting to get to that point and then did a factory reset and the phone is blazing again. I think it was all the apps because i felt like some apps like apndroid didnt uninstall right(yes i know i gotta enable b4 uninstalling).
[Captivate General] kashc2:
i also did factory reset...it didn't help. i might have had a defective captivate maybe idk, but im the type of guy that likes it simple and get it done, with the captivate you have to do a lot of tweaks and stuff like that, until it gets fixed atleast. i was disappointed when i had to return the phone...i really wanted to like and i thought it was the phone i was gonna keep for a long time when i first got it.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Your experience hardly reflects the average user experience with this phone though....i love mine and so do a lot of people...sorry to hear about your issues but maybe you should have gotten a replacement or do you really think all the people praising it are just putting up with all the stuff you experienced?
[Captivate General] Shwiggie:
I've used message boards for years. I've even adminned a few, and I still maintain my own small one. And I still don't understand why people start threads based on this kind of pap, other than to draw attention to themselves either for self-aggrandizement or to make martyrs of themselves.

In either case, I don't care. I'm not here to find out what phone anyone uses or why, nor do I care about the second-hand opinions that fuel those decisions. All I care about is learning more about the experiences of others with the one I've chosen in an effort to both expand my own experience with it and to share likewise.
[Captivate General] MSigler:
I agree with not buying the captivate, I would have gone with a Nexus One or a Dell Streak though.
[Captivate General] kashc2:
i admit, i think most captivates are fine but i also think there are plenty of users that are willing to put up with the problems of this phone, i wasn't one of those users though. those users that are willing to put up with this phone are hoping that samsung will come out with a fix for it and who knows when that is and whether that even fixes the problem. Like froyo, i hardly doubt it will come in September. I'm not going to sit and wait for that to happen when i can get a phone (iphone) that works flawlessly and can perform the same core functions as a captivate. i gave this phone a try and didn't work out, it's simple as that.
[Captivate General] dressanderc:
Yet you take the time to vent on other people expressing their opinions. Whats the difference from the man telling us why he dosent like the phone, vs. You telling us why you dont like the thread?
[Captivate General] Croak:
Looking at your complaints, seems to me that your biggest problem is that you never got off the Apple tit, and don't know how to live without iTunes.

My mate bight a galaxy S two weeks ago and is already sending it in for replacement.

1.6 vs 2.1:

If you can't wait a few more weeks, then I highly doubt you'll be keeping either of those phones because of the compulsive need to always upgrade. Kinda defeats the purpose, really.
[XPERIA X10 General] applebook:
HTC fan, he bought the X10 probably because the Desire and the Galaxy S were announced for Canada only recently.

If you can get the Galaxy S for only slightly more than the X10, then I recommend it even though I'm an X10 owner and fan. The Hummingbird CPU, extra RAM, 8Gb onboard ROM, S-AMOLED screen, 2.1 (with 2.2 coming in September) make it superior to the X10. Sorry, but that's the truth.

As for the Desire, I would stay with the X10.

[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
Nicely put :)

We're always going to have the need to upgrade to the latest android smartphone just to get the full potential. It's a never ending cycle, and unfortunately I'm a victim. I think I will stick with the Xperia X10 since I've gone through so much with it and although it is my 5th Android phone, I've learned most about Android capabilities from the X10. It's a good phone, I'm sure in a few months something awesome will come in Canada and we all going to want it. I've tried selling my phone but the resell value is just ridiculous. I'll be sticking with the X10, even though I love Super AMOLED. I want to be around when the bootloader gets cracked.
[XPERIA X10 General] tuxStyle:
What is the resale value of X10?

I'm not going to do it anyway ... i'm just curious.

And if we don't get dualcore, at least we will have 1.5Ghz :P
[XPERIA X10 General] jasonvw:
Resale is about $300 cdn if that. Theres tonnes of them up on kijiji and craigslist.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
lol dual core would be LEGENDARY
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
Not entirely sure about that. First thing is that it would drain the battery a lot more. Secondly it's not really needed for the most part.

We already have DSPs and dedicated chips that handles much of the heavy lifting like sound, video, graphics etc. Unless you're doing _heavy_ multitasking on your phone the performance increase would be minimal. And given that Android is pretty good at allocating resources you'd probably be better off with more RAM in the future rather than a new CPU.
[XPERIA X10 General] trojjanhorse:
I'll take whatever I can. I'm just commenting on the advancements being accomplished w/ smartphones.
[XPERIA X10 General] ddewbofh:
I'm interested in the deverlopment as well. I think we're going to see a period of increased power, much like the Ghz wars of the past ten years. After that we're probably going to see more effort being put into better battery-life and increased portability. Much like Laptops are becoming the norm for computers I think Smartphones (or rather their descendants) are going to replace Laptops as the daily computing platform. :)

A major part of todays interweb users could probably switch from using computers to smartphones without losing any functionality. Just attach a larger screen and a bluetooth keyboard and you can Facebook, mail, surf the web, watch youtube, play casual games and enjoy media.
