I don't know, I ordered an iPod case from ebay five years ago and I'm still using it. It was only seven dollars but has lasted a long time. It fits good as well. I think some of the cases on ebay may be bad but some can be very good. IMO that one on ebay looks like a good case. I even thought about buying it.
[Captivate Accessories] psychrage:
I'd like to see some better pictures of the Samsung case.
[Captivate Accessories] waghoba:
captivate body cover

anyone hane idea about which one is better body glove from att or the one from samsung site?? Also there are not many images available of hard case from samsung..any idea how it is??
[Captivate Accessories] chupacabrachus:
Case is shipping out today. I'll let ya'll know when it's here. Don't expect a wordy review.
[Captivate Accessories] XorZone:
I would better expect short review, but with decent pictures ;)
[Captivate Accessories] waghoba:
yes please...!!!
[Captivate Accessories] chupacabrachus:
anyone checked that link? The case is different looking now. It has a gay emblem on the back.

I thought the other pic looked like it wouldn't fit anything but an i9000
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] garyHal:
I am with AT&T. I like the Captivate but there seems to be issues that I am still waiting for to be fixed. I am curious what other android phones are out there that is also unlockable to be used under AT&T. I like flag ship phones, no slide out keyboards, 4 inch screens, etc.

Thanks.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Anyone heard anything about this one? Supposedly it started popping out yesterday to some of the people and when I manually checked, popped out to me too. Brings back G-sensor calibration tool.

Any more info? Download link?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
Got the same!But after downloading,it asked me to install the update and rebooted

into Recovery menu!

Then,at recovery menu,I got "No Siganture (235 files)" and "Verfication failed"

error!

Installing update,maybe not possible at Custom ROMs!

My download from server attached:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] SiL3nTKiLL:
never seen that b4...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] deadwilder:
yes, you won't be able to install this on custom rom
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
Hm,maybe anybody can make it possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Yeah, it should be possible.

Htc release ota updates as delta upgrades, containing only differences between files. Custom ROMs don't use the identical same files, so we need to patch the old ones with these new files.

And our custom recovery images don't accept htc ota keys, since you could get locked out of rooting if this happened.

I can try and look later on at this...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
Ok,so it seems problems with the "patch files" too,not possible

via recovery menu,right?

Hope you can do it!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Netblade.nl:
Hmm it seems that this update only add's a gsensor config, I dont know if they fixed the problem with streams and T-Mobile Netherlands (I guess not).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Seems to be a lot of changes (a lot of files to patch) just to add G-sensor config. Probably a bugfix release too...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Netblade.nl:
Hmm well because I have a different bootloader and a stock T-Mobile rom it just don't show up. It's gonna take a while before I get my hands on this one :(
[Hero, G2 Touch General] kinnes:
so is there a full list of what this update has done?

i have a custom rom and managed to install this with no problems.

i have seen a similar update on the desire and it seems to fix the message notifications (messages will display 1, even though all messages are read.)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] dohenyc:
Hi All,

Loking at the files contained within this update, can anyone confirm if this will have an effect on the Bluetooth capabilities of the phone. There are a few threads out there with people like myself who had their bluetooth functionality reduced with their car kits. The pairing would work, but the connection failed. The connection worked fine in 1.5, and is working again in custom 2.2 roms (I'm running Fusion),

Cheers

DoNcAs
[Hero, G2 Touch General] cTnko:
any progress?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] zbaracki:
hmm, update.zip contains boot.img and recovery.img, as well as many updates for framework, many apps, system etc...

so it can contain any new protection method to disable root possibility and/or changing roms to custom.

anybody with genuine 2.1 installed this? anything happened?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
I just checked the boot.img from the original update to Android 2.1 and from this one, and they're exactly the same, bit by bit, so there isn't any changes in the kernel.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] sleepymonk:
appied update and then rooted all worked fine

i have installed this update after i got my repaired hero back from htc yesterday. i did root my phone after this update and it seems to be fine.

the only thing i cant do is downgrade to 1.5 using a goldcard. it say something about im using the incorrect id.

But i dont know if that was the update that did that or htc did it when they had my phone
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Sounds normal. What rooting method did you use? (Shamelessly trying to find out if my port of the Droid eris one still works after this update)

If you root and flash custom recovery, you can flash another hboot, thus allowing a 1.5 RUU to work with gold card.

But that is a risky process, and there's no need in my opinion to use it.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
@pulser_g2

You are working on an update.zip,so we can flash with

custom rom`s?

Or not possible?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
What do you mean? I'll probably post the raw files from this update, and then anyone who wants them can push them into a ROM.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] idroid84:
Looking at the zip right now and it's definatly a bunch of updates for the system!
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Already running the OTA... I patched the files manually on my sdcard using provided patches. Phone seems smoother and G-sensor calibration is finally back in the menus. Didn't notice any other changes though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ulyan:
Newbie

Us that have a carier mobile phone (orange) on wich we installed the unbranded firmware and the 2.1 OTA, are supposed to receive this update ?

Thank you. :rolleyes:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] heroandroid:
How do you do it, please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] shelnes:
I'd love...

...an update zip for this one. Just because I'm too lazy to patch the files to the system myself
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Ganii:
OK!

I thought you can make a update.zip,so I can flash it to my custom ROM!

But how can I patch the files manually :confused:
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
Hopefully it will fix stupid bugs that shouldn't exist in the first place...

Like sometimes I get the "Messages" app icon to display unread messages but everything is read. This happens when I a receive a message and I have that person message thread opened. The message thread also doesn't scroll down automatically to the latest message as good as it used to work on 1.5.

Am I the only one noticing these 2 problems? I'm sure there are more little things like this though...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] wayferer:
not the only one, i have both here too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Put the patch files and original files on your sd card and manually run applypatch binary using commands found in update-script. Once the original files are patched, do with them as you please.

Easy process, took me, in total, an hour. (Patching, zipaligning framework, creating update zip, flashing)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] quark_star:
I also find this in the stock sms app. Small issue, but still annoying.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] qpop:
So there is no new radio in this? Shame
[Hero, G2 Touch General] rfgamaral:
My Hero doesn't find this update and some other people is reporting the same problem, do you guys have it show up when you check for updates? They said the updated showed up to them, they didn't install it and now it doesn't show up anymore.

Maybe it has been pulled off for some reason?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Eddie1506:
Try moving your date couple of weeks ahead. It should force the phone to find the update again.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
Last lines of update-script shows

assert(package_extract_file("recovery.img", "/tmp/recovery.img"),

write_raw_image("/tmp/recovery.img", "recovery"),

delete("/tmp/recovery.img"));

Does it mean that it is going to flash a new recovery?¿?

How do you use patches (XXX.apk.p) on phone?, do you use patch command?¿?

Many Thanks,

Perdita2000
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:

I made my own shell script to update/patch everything.

Got G-Sensor Calibration tool now an new version. I use STOCK RoM WWE from LoxK...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Tyrbiter:

Can you test this with android commander to see if it knows the phone is rooted when it is connected please?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
Hi there :) . Just one question I didnt get the ota yet (htc told me I should get it) But before a week I did the one click root. Got the titanium backup and deleted the stocks app and widget (I needed space ont he system partition). Dont have a backup :( .

Now when I should get the update and try to do it. Will it halt? Or will it stuck somewhere? (Without stocks and the widget)

Anyone any idea where I could the apps and how to get them back before applying the update?

And should I defrost the sense and sense apps and widgets?

I do not know how to flash and am afraid of it :) (Just freezing sense took me a day :) )
[Hero, G2 Touch General] jpalo:
Android Commander says NO root access, but I'm able to start at least Wireless Tethering just fine, and Superuser app says that "wireless tether has been granted su access", so su seems to be working.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] perdita2000:
Hi all,

root access works fine if you re-root. There is a change on permissions on xbin on update-script. I can't make a standart PATCH.zip because some users don't use "/system/xbin/su" (non-rooted). Same happens to users who deleted some applications already in PATCH.zip.

I have root access using Connectbot as always after applyng PATCH and re-root.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] eboye:
OK, I got this update, but when it restarts, it start updateing and then stops at approximately 25-30% and shows some red triangle sign with "!". And then nothing. I have to pull the battery off the phone to reset it. Nothing is changed, and it shows this ota again.

I have 1-click root HTC Hero with 2.1 update

What do you guy suggest?

Thanks
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
So finally Slovakia, ROOT, STOCK 2.1 , updated

Did you made some changes to the system? Cuz I did and was able to get them back. (Btw the triangle when it appears try volume up and end call button to push more times till you see a console, then you can reboot without having to pull out the battery. BUT DONT DO ANYTHING THERE!!!!! NOTHING!!!!)

As Perdita said more times, if you erased some apps it wont work!

I did erase some apps and I had to put them back in :P . Luckily I had some nice help. (And defrost some apps I frozen before :P)

After that I just ROOT again with the 1 click ROOT and voila :D .......405.2 update with ROOT :D
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eboye:
How do you mean erased some apps? You mean system apps, no I haven`t touched the system (as far as I know). Maybe some app with root privilage made changes, for example adfree?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
Maybe, revert the addfree and what else you have?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] eboye:
The following apps, that are installed, may have root access

AdFree

USB WebCam

EStrong File Explorer

SystemPanel App

But I`m thinking that AdFree may cause the problem, even if I reverted it, I think that I have manually replaced hosts file because it didn`t want to update. If someone have original hosts.txt, I would appreciate sharing, so I can try

How do I root my phone with 3.32.405.2 installed

Hey Guys,

I am new to rooting but eager to get started; I am running the latest 2.1 update (3.32.405.2). What is the best way to go about this process?

Cheers,
[Hero, G2 Touch General] PAGOT:
http://blog.23corner.com/ install the 1.6.1 that I had used on the 405.2 and press root (2x first time you wont get SU I think) That should be it.

If the link doesnt work. Find her a thread about 1 click root Nexus something. THe app is uploaded there too.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] graculusthegreenbird:
If applying update loses HTC widgets, this is how to get them back

Reported elsewhere.

Applied the update, and then when it eventually switched back on, all the HTC widgets e.g. Clock were gone from the home screen, but my shortcuts and standard Android widgets were there.

They are also missing from the Add Widget Menu, just has a single entry under HTC Widgets called "Get more HTC widgets".

Someone suggested clearing the cache and data from the HTC Sense app under Settings->Applications->Manage Applications. After that, HTC Sense started up with the default HTC widgets showing (e.g. Clock/Weather, Mail, Peep).

The widgets are then available once again under the Add Widget menu.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] aim2000:

Rooting and Permissions

Hi,

After installing the 3.32.405.2, the phone is more responsive and of course the g-sensor calibration is included.

However, I am not able to use adb anymore despite rooting it using unrevoked and/or 1-click root. Though the phone is rooted and allows applications requiring root to work, I am unable to use adb. It gives me the error that permission is denied.

Anybody know how to overcome this problem?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] Azaik:
Same here. After reading up on this I believe it's because a variable called ro_secure is set to 1 in a system file called default_prop. As far as I understand, this basically means adb can't connect as root to the phone. It needs to be set to 0 for that.

default_prop is part of the boot.img which gets flashed when you do the update. So... I think the boot.img file needs to be modified (and re-signed?) to change this, then reflashed. That's all way beyond my capabilities though.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] duck0:
Looked at your tinkering, and it seems the updater-script recursively changes the mode of /system/xbin to 0755, this removes the suid bit off 'su' which makes it just an ordinary shell. I suppose this is what breaks root.

Nice work btw, I wouldn't have found that updater-script if I hadn't looked extra carefully because you mentioned it ;-)

This bit, at line 1305 of the original:

set_perm_recursive(0, 2000, 0755, 0755, "/system/xbin");

Edit: Seems like I overlooked something, this does not entirely fix the issues, I ended up with files in /system/xbin being mode 644.

Edit2: And if you look a little closer, it actually does this:

set_perm_recursive(0, 0, 0755, 0644, "/system");

From that I guess the parameters are as follows, user id, group id, directory permissions, file permissions. If you use /system/xbin/su like me, then you could just put this after the line recursively changing /system/xbin

set_perm(0, 0, 4755, "/system/xbin/su");

The parameters are obviously user, group, mode and filename.

Edit3: wrong mode bits in the code, how embarrassing. 4000 is set-uid-bit :-)

rooted version of 3.32.405.2

Can anybody at XDA please create a rooted update.zip of 3.32.405.2? I need adb access which is missing with the version on this post....
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Untested, but should work. So take backup first, and at your own risk.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] raajkay:
This works. I do have adb access but am unable to install darktremor's apps2sd. There is a permission problem. Also, I get the error - su not found when I try to access the system through adb shell....Wonder how the permissions issue can be sorted.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Ah ok. I only enabled adb support. I thought that was what you all wanted???

Is su installed yet? As usually doing what I did there gives you root via shell.

Can you check if you see "#" as your prompt, or is it "$"?

[Captivate Android Development] halfhp:
I'm trying to gain read-only access to one of the sqlite databases on my phone via an installed application. It seems as though the typical use case is for applications to only interact with their own databases, but I cannot find any documentation explicitly saying that sql readonly database access is sandbox'd.

When I attempt to use SQLiteDatabase.openDatabase("/path/to/the/database.db", null, SQLiteDatabase.OPEN_READONLY) I get an error stating that the file could not be opened. Unfortunately no details on the reason get thrown along with the error.

So my question is this: Is it possible for an installed application to gain read only access the system's sqlite databases, in particular com.android.providers.settings/settings.db? There are settings in there that I cannot access via the typical API calls so it looks like a query is my only option.

Thx,

Nick

I'm on AT&T now and thinking hard about leaving but also considering the Captivate. Do pages load pretty fast in the browser? Anybody stream videos online and how smooth is the playback? I know this relative to your signal strength but I've heard a couple people say that the Captivate loads pages faster than the iPhone 4. I'm pretty tired of spotty AT&T voice coverage but it seems like their connections speeds are pretty fast...

Thanks!

I can only compare to my dad's 3GS. That said, I render pages far faster than his phone over wifi. I haven't tested it over 3G.

[Captivate General] asrrin29:
There have been a few youtube videos demonstrating that the stock captivate (fresh out of the box) loads pages slightly faster than an iphone 4 stock. Considering all the tweaks you can do to improve the captivate (rooting and uninstalling bloatware, applying lag fixes, changing launchers, and using a different browser) It will handidly beat iphone 4 on page load times.

Plus, it loads flash content, something the iphone cannot do.
