Dear All,

i face the following issues.

1) if i use froyo stone clean build (Release date: 07.AUG.2010 GMT)

after i following all the instructions, i hang on the line "jumping to kernel"

>> a search on the forum, ask me to change ram addresses and cmd="ips****", but it doesnt help.

2) if i use the latest Parad0XUA_Experimental, it hangs on "init panel" then the screen fades to black.

I would be glad if someone could help me on this

Thank you

whizz

Sorry i cant help, but i have the exact same jumping to kernal problem and thats with any version of android ive tried. Ive got a box full of HD2's and no version of android will work on any of them. Do you need custom ROMS to run them?

Really hope someone can answer this, we cant be the only people to have this issue.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kerman19:
You certainly need to change the Radio to a .50, and it would appear that a custom ROM helps too.

Changing the ROM did it for me. I was using a .51 ROM...replaced it with 2.15.50 ROM..Now, its fine and I must say Darkstone ROM is quite stable and performance is good too..I am using it on a 2GB card..( my 8GB went bad..Waiting for a replacement..:( ) and it still gives me amazing speed.

I have resolved the problem using only the latest version of official rom by HTC without HSPL or anything else

Annoyance.

Does anyone know how to back up saved game data?

I have searched in the forums. Couldnt find an answer.

I play Zenonia, Caligo Chaser, Dungeon Hunter, SNESoid...

I dont know where the save data is though so everytime I change rom I lose it.

On VBN/MATTC/Froyo right now...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] darkt123:
For the emulators they usually make a directory in your root. At least vgba does. I copied that and was fine resuming my games.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Lomius:
Still cant find it.

Zenonia, Caligo Chaser, SNESOID.

I have scoured my root device and storage card directory by directory with HIDDEN and SYSTEM file viewing enabled... I just dont see them...

Yeah, I am pretty lost on them also.

But I seriously need a hex editor for this game.

I would make one, but I just don't want too compile every single item.

Ok I had TeamFenix 2.2 ROM installed on my phone and I decided to go back to ChiefzReloaded's OTA Final. I booted into clockwork wiped and restored the chiefz nandroid backup. The wipe went fine and the restore went fine. I then chose reboot phone and now I'm sitting at the white t-mobile mytouch slide screen. What's going on? Anyone know? Thanks!

i have Facebook synced so it shows all my Facebook events on my calendar. it shows up on the calendar fine and when i select the day it will show the events in a list (only the name of the event) but when i actually select the event to see all the details its all blank and doesn't show anything (not the name, where its located, start/stop time). so the only way i can see any events is on the calendar itself and i can only see the name. anyone know how to fix this or also have this happening?

On 2.1 everything was just dandy. But after updating, everytime the raspy voiced Google Maps lady speaks, she pauses my music, but refuses to hit play again. 2.1 lady would resume the music no problem, on both the HTC player and Pandora. Anyone know how to fix this? I'm secretly hoping there is an option I haven't found yet...its a huge pain to swipe back in, navigate to the music, and hit play while driving.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crazyon2wheels:
Yeah this would be great I dont remember using it on 2.1 but do know that it worked on CM6 Froyo and now that I am trying some of the new 2.2 sense roms it is a very annoying problem.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
hmm havent noticed, havent used gps and music at the same time, my car speakers broke and i already know i cant use gps and the phone speaker at the same time, will try to test this soon though, anyone have stock 2.2 they can test this on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Pretty sure this is an issue with all 2.2's including CM6 and that is has to do with how froyo controls audio (it's listed on the official Android bug list). Confident a fix is in the works though, either from Google or the devs here.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
It seems to be an issue with a bunch of streaming media apps, not specific to Pandora.

Do you have a link to this list? I'm searching for it.:confused:

It should be made a sticky.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davebu:
Yup, just tested it and it stops your music. Happened within 30 seconds of starting the navigation. I'm going to look for an old version of Google maps and see if that does anything, this update was pretty big.

Also, anyone have an N1 to test this on?

*EDIT* Using 4.3 does the same thing, was hoping it was a simple APK update needed, but we might need something more involved than that.

I read in a comment on the Android bug list that downgrading Pandora to v1.3 fixes the issue. Does anybody have an old titanium backup of Pandora 1.3?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] L_Mo:
I confirmed today that it happens with both Pandora and the regular music app on Fresh 3.2.

However, I recently was on a big roadtrip when using CM6 and it worked fine with the AOSP music player, but I didn't test Pandora.

Either way, it's extremely annoying. Missed a few turns because I just put nav on mute.

My battery on any rom dies at 9 percent left and my phone cuts off. When I turn it back on it says 0.what does that? Is that a hardware problem
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarthsiegeTA:
No, it just means that your battery calibration is a little off. It's nothing to worry about, as from what I understand, most N1s have this issue. I know that mine does.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33zy682:
i dont like that at all. i lost 10 percent of my battery. could i call HTC and maybe get a replacement
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khaytsus:
Hello? Is this thing on?

taps microphone

You were already told it's calibration, so recalibrate it. Sending it to HTC is complete nonsense.

Don't dare ask how to recalibrate the battery, use the search engine this time.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
no its not necessarily calibration. my battery has always dies at 8-10% from the day i bought the phone brand new, and i've wiped my battery stats a million times and re-calibrated it over and over. some batteries are just less capcity than others as there is some degree of tolerance when manufacturing these things. you can call HTC and get a new battery if you wish.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33zy682:
ill ask if i want to. who are you? exactly. and i already calibrated my battery before i posted this thead so thanks for your waste of time. thats why i dont believe its battery calibration. ive done it already.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] b33zy682:
thanks for that. your battery sounds like mine. i get to 10 percent and it usually dies at 9 or 8 . when i turn it back on its at 0 so ill call htc thanks
[HD2 General] Kush Smoke:
I plug in my phone to my computer and ut charges but it wont connect to computer through DISK DRIVE WTF... I RESET IT TWICE AND NOTHING... ITS NOT CORD OR PHONE CUZ IT CHARGES...
[HD2 General] fuzzysig:
when you plug it in to your PC in a mass storage mode the memory card is locked

the phone acts as a thumbdrive so you can drag and drop files onto your sd card.

theres a prompt that AKSs?(asks) you what mode would you like to connect.

either sync or mass storage.

every phone does it same btw.
[HD2 General] kabuk1:
Two possibilities-

1. Your card may have gotten corrupted. It's a fairly common occurrence and it will cause your phone to not be able to read it. Plug it into the PC via a card reader & see if you can see any files on it. If it takes an unusually long time for your comp to see it, or if all you see are wierd files with numbers as names, then its corrupted. Even if it loads fine, it wouldn't hurt to reformat it anyway just for the sake of maintenance. I suggest formatting it as fat32 with 64k allocation unit size for the best read speed.

2. Your settings on the phone are incorrect. Go to settings>system>connections>USB to PC and make sure the disk drive option is enabled, and that the "ask me first about USB connection type" option is checked.

If neither of those fixes it, back up your data & try a hard reset. If that STILL doesn't fix it, then your card is dead.

I just pulled off my clearfreak cause I messed up the install and I have 2 more coming from the ebay sale, but I've noticed that even the clearfreak takes a bit away from the "nakedness" :D. I mean damn this screen is sexy and responsive.

Just wondering if anyone is using their phone on a daily basis without a screen protector, gel skin, or neither. How do you like it? How is it holding up?

**Might give away those two Clearfreak SP** haven't decided yet, but let me know.
[Vibrant Accessories] KerryG:
I bought mine on release day when the store opened and mine is naked as a jay-bird. My concern is being stupid and throwing it in my pocket with keys or something like that so I ordered the RealClear (or something like that) screen protector. I also think its a little hard to one-hand-hold because its fairly slick so I am going to look for a gel/rubber case soon.
[Vibrant Accessories] ElahC:
I've been using my Vibrant for 2 weeks now without any sort of protection on it and I have to say that the phone is very durable. I dropped it a couple of times and returned with no scratches. I'm soon to get one of those Mesh cases though, just for the appeal :).
[Vibrant Accessories] PathogenX:
I was running naked for a while but then I got one of the gel skins form TMO. Been using it on and off. I love the phone naked but I feel like im living on the edge without a case to protect it.
[Vibrant Accessories] STi489:
I tried a wet install one from ebay but it had bubbles and felt tacky...I have a amzer I went to put on twice but cannot get every tiny strand from microfiber off screen...Iget stuck with a few stubborn ones...So I been naked for a few weeks now and 0 scratches but i'm very anal and wash my hands dozens of times and handle it like it's an infant.
[Vibrant Accessories] ripsphone:
Dropped my first phone less than three feet on to a tile floor, on the third day I owned it. Screen looked fine (no cracks) but wouldn't work. Got a replacement, and still running naked. I just can't bring myself to cover this sexy bastard up.
[Vibrant Accessories] All~G1:
Thanks for the replies! Yeah im loving the nekkid feeling. Im sure I'll decide when I get the other 2 sp's in. Definitely not gonna get rid of the gel skin. Not that its a bad thing, but it does make the phone twice as heavy and twice as thick. I'd just like to think that if I dropped the phone it would give some cushion to avoid a corner drop/crack screen.

I guess it comes down to:

Sexy ass phone thats, super light and has an extremely bright screen VS. protected investment... LOL
[Vibrant Accessories] rage2wrath:
Had mine for a few weeks, i started out with the t-mobile gel skin and screen protector but instantly realized after putting it on that it was horrible and blurred the image and ruined the colors of the screen. I do like the gel skin though. It gives the phone slightly more thickness and heft, which i prefer, and i think it makes it more comfortable to use.

for the screen I started using just regular kitchen plastic wrap as a temporary measure, but i actually like it quite a bit. it is super thin and clear so the screen looks just as good as usual and is quite resistant to smearing from your fingers. You can drag your finger across the screen and hardly see anything at all. It also wraps around the sides of the phone and keeps little bits of crude from getting in between the chrome-ish bezel and screen. the biggest problem with it is that it just isn't very strong, which leads to replacing it every 2-3 days because of all the little nicks and scratches it picks up. you also need the gel skin in order to hold it on and and keep it from moving.

Android Streaking (Naked)

I ran my G1 Naked for the last year and a half using the "sleeve" that it came with without any issues, scratches, etc so I figured I'd do the same with the Vibrant.

I found a nice semi thick cloth sleeve case with a drawstring so it doesn't fall out when dropped and as a bonus it helps keep the screen clean of fingerprints, debris etc. I have dropped it onto tile from waist height 10 or so times and the case dampens the falls enough so far. I just hope I don't slip when it's not in the sleeve. :D
[Vibrant Accessories] Morbo66:
Streaking here since i bought it on friday it was released.

I've never had a condom for any of my phones. it's like covering up your Ferrari with a car bra. What's the point?

[Vibrant Accessories] phantom9000:
did anybody try the Carbon Fiber Protector Shield Full Body Skin on amazon
[Vibrant Accessories] dills84:
Mine has been case and screen protector free for a week now. I've also drunkenly dropped it on 3 or 4 occasions from ear / pocket height. There is no sign of drop not even a scratch. I've noticed the chrome ring around the screen is very durable (i think it might be metal?). And the phone is so light drops don't seem to effect is as much as big metal devices. The screen seems very tough and thick (much thicker than a nexus one screen).

So far im pretty impressed with the build quality considering the "cheap feel" in the hand. I guess we need to stop associating heft with quality.

My only real concern is breaking the volume rocker or power button. They seem extra cheaply made.
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Realook. You cannot see its there. And I don't have any problems with the capacitives. Screen is as Vibrant as without it. It truly is invisible and un-feel-able.
[Vibrant Accessories] krylon360:
right now I'm running nekkid. I wouldn't mind getting some type of case for it though, just in case of the accidental drop, or if my daughter throws it across the room like she did my MT3G (only received 1 small dent on the T-Mobile logo =) )

As for a screen protector, I would like to get one, just have been seeing mixed reviews on them.
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
i've had mine since launch and its still naked because the god damn USPS sucks a fat nut and wont just drop my THREE DOLLAR EBAY GELLI CASE off in the freaking mailbox because for some reason it ended up getting "signature required"

i pulled the lanyard off an old camera to be safe, i'm so paranoid im going to drop it.
[Vibrant Accessories] turbosix:
it is soft plastic, no idea how you havent scratched yours. i have been extremely careful with my phone and noticed a small divot in the edge, i havent dropped it or put it anywhere that it could get scratched, no idea where it came from.
[Vibrant Accessories] 30Glock:
Happy to see most are not throwing money away on screen condoms, I have been naked since day one, screen is as new as when i first unboxed, This screen will not scratch PERIOD. For those you think that there is no differance between naked and using clear or ghost condoms, Just stop it, there is a differance, No matter how clear or ghost they claim your still putting a layer of material on the screen and it will effect the clearity, This screen is gorgeous and ment to be naked. BTW I have a TMO gel case incase i drop the phone and they are perfect together, Gives the phone that umph it was missing.

EXCHANGE IT!

sorry! I'm just really excited, I wasn't getting any GPS signal so I took it back to the corporate store, saved a quick ti backup to my sd, swapped the phone and BAM! I now get perfect GPS locks within SECONDS of activating maps!

also! I had some weird Facebook errors, only few would sync, wouldn't sync all the time etc. etc. NO PROBLEMS ANYMORE all my contacts sync and match up perfectly.

seriously the phone is now like it should be.

I asked the corporate rep (same guy I've been going to for years) he told me that the first batch of captivates went out with corrupt firmwares, but they weren't bad enough that they would have noticed anything wrong (or they did and chose to ignore it...) anyways, round two of the phone is fixed up and great!

My firmware: 2.1-update1

my baseband: I897UCF6

my kernal 2.6.29

that is the LATEST firm/base/kernal and If you can't get your phone to OTA update to it, I HIGHLY suggest you make a Ti backup and exchange it, you'll be out a few hours of your life but the phone will WORK
[Captivate General] sn1per420:

[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
well my GPS didn't work out of the box but i just figured it was because I was in the mall. but as soon as I got the new one, it started right up.

facebook sync wouldn't sync properly either, and now it is syncing 100% fine

the phone would randomly shut down, it's been 4 days no shut downs

I dunno, I waited to post this to make sure it wasn't a fluke, maybe its just mine but it seems legit and my launch day device was definitely NOT 2.1-update1, I checked it right before I turned it in and it was just 2.1
[Captivate General] jhego:

[Captivate General] thindery:
I got mine on launch day and have same firmware and everything. We didn't all happen to get a few bad phones. Samsung has manufactured phones that are bad from the beginning and they won't admit to it yet. This is worse then antennagate with apple.

Atleast then all you had to do was stick a piece of tape on the corner and voila! no problems. I wish fixing the issues with this phone were that easy. But we have the brightest minds at xda trying to fix our issues and they are still stumped by gps... nearly a month after release.

And even if xda minds can fix the issues... I find it extremely frightening that part time developers that do this for fun can fix issues faster then samsung can even admit to it(lag fix for example..) The more and more I think about this whole issue... the less I feel confident about Samsung as a mobile manufacturer.

Can anyone confirm OP's post? It is possible that Samsung released a corrupted batch. At this point I almost want to unroot my Captivate and exchange it for a new one. I paid $500 for this and it's not working.

Speaking of which can someone PM an UNROOT tutorial for the Captivate. I'll be a guinea pig and go exchange my phone for a new one to see if this fixes any issues.
