FYI, looks like tun.ko creates the /dev/tun device, but vpnc is looking for /dev/net/tun

This may be a dumb question and by all means if it is let me know.

But I do not have my USB chord with me tonight at my house I just have a wall charger one that doesn't d/c and become a usb cable. But is there way I can root the slide without a cable? I tried looking around for an answer but couldn't get a definite one.

All help is appreciated thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] televate:
I'm pretty sure for any root process, you need to have a usb cable attached and adb running.

Yeah thats what I figured =( I didnt want to wait haha I want my nightly fix!
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tubaking182:
in the furture please post questions in the questions and answers forum.

no you need the USB cable and a comp with adb working to root
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Just to clarify, the only reason you need it for this root method is because there is a point where you have to push a file from the PC to the sdcard at a very specific point in the process. If it weren't for this step, all you would technically need to do is find a way of putting everything to your sd card first.

[Captivate General] nbs11:
How did touchwiz get deleted? If all you did was a system restore it should still be there. I was trying to backup some system apps also with Titanium Backup, but for whatever reason they did not have .APK files, so it was a little out of my league to figure out how to do it.

[Captivate Accessories] krakerx:
I've been searching every couple days since the phone was released only to find the shields, glare protectors, and skins... Finally they have the low cost cases that many users have come to love...

Judging by the looks on some, I'm not saying they are grade A, but having bought some for past phones, they are comparable to some of the $30 cases sold at some retailers

Example: cgi.ebay.com/Red-Hard-Snap-Case-Samsung-Captivate-AT-T-/270618346984?pt=PDA_Accessories {Sorry can't post links}
[Captivate Accessories] Kaik541:
This is the same case (and seller) I have except mine is black. It looks, works, and feels great... Though it is a little hard to take off once it's on.

Sent from my SGH-i897
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
whats that case material called thats like not the rubbery silicone, but not a hard case? Its like a soft plastic that doesn't have a rubber texture.
[Captivate Accessories] Kaik541:
if the material you're describing is what I'm imagining (and as counter-intuitive as it sounds) it's rubberized crystal cases. (like the one in the first link)

it doesn't feel "rubbery", it feels smooth and soft-textured. nothing at all like the rubber you'd find on a shoe or tire.
[Captivate Accessories] pinoymutt:
I believe you are thinking of TPU (Thermoplastic polyurethanes)? It's generally a material that is flexible but very smooth, and usually translucent.

Unfortunately I don't think there are any TPU cases yet for Captivate, but I think they are coming (they have them for the standard Galaxy S / Vibrant), but that's what I am waiting for as well.
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
yeah! whats the trade name for that stuff? Lexon or something, no?
[Captivate Accessories] pinoymutt:
Per Wikipedia, they have several trade names (but seems mostly from Pharma)

ELASTOLLAN (BASF & Elastogran)

PEARLTHANE (Merquinsa)

DESMOPAN (Bayer)

PELLETHANE (Dow Chemical) Sold to Lubrizol.

ESTANE (Lubrizol)

IROGRAN (Huntsman)

But in terms of cases, the only trade name I know of is that I believe Amzer calls their line of TPU cases "Luxe." Other places usually refer to the cases either as TPU or "Flexi Skin."

I'm personally waiting on the "Luxe" line from Amzer to be released at the end of the month for the Captivate.

http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Luxe-Argyle-Skin-Case-Smoke-Grey-P88849.htm
[Captivate Accessories] cpc71783:
I got the black version of this case and I'd say it's by far more attractive and more protective than the overpriced crap they have at the AT&T store.

I attached some pictures. Yeah, I rigged up a cradle for the phone out of some large zip-ties, and I must say, it works great. Don't be dissin'!
[Captivate Accessories] Kaik541:
Yep, that's exactly the same one I have. The one thing I would say to notice about this is, that without a screen protector, and if you keep it in your pocket... this case just seems to be a "force dirt to collect in certain places" device. (Keep it in your pocket for a day or two and then take it off and see how much dirt is chilling out under your case)
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
Dude, that is an AWESOME zip-tie stand! EXCELLENT work!
[Captivate Accessories] darkamikaze:

cgi.ebay.com/Rubber-Black-Hard-Case-Cover-Samsung-Captivate-i897-/350383516190?pt=PDA_Accessories#ht_2394wt_911

what do you guys think would be good :D
[Captivate Accessories] eatkabab:
Thats the one I want as well. Mainly cuz its got some cushion like the silicone ones but doesn't stick in your pocket like the silicone ones...

Only problem I have with it is the pattern on it. Its a nice pattern, but coming from the world of bberry, its been done and over done. I feel it might look a little busy with the translucency/being able to see all the original case detail under it.

If you currently have the latest OTA, there is no root for it yet and trying the previous root methods on it will not work. If you do not have the latest OTA, what are the error messages saying?

Hello, I could not find any help anywhere online for this topic so I am going to see if any wizards here have a tip.

I Use a LG IQ on the Telus network, and I got sick of using the LG messaging application extremely quickly. I then found you could alter the registry on my phone, to use the windows threaded messaging instead. Of course I right away tried this and I love it. However one problem I CONSTANTLY, ALL THE TIME FACE, is when I leave a thread, by hitting the back button to say go to another thread, the phone freezes and starts completely messing up. I tried a hard reset, then only re-enabling the threaded sms tweak, yet still, always freezes. The only way I can get around this is to end the messaging app, and go to my notifications and open the next text then reply. I have tried many other applications that worked out but costed money, I shouldn't have to deal with that crap

I would really appreciate some help, or maybe a good sms app or replacement or ANYTHING to help. Thank you all very much.

So I was running 2.1 (1.47.651.1) and I just recently went to 2.2. On 2.1 I ran Baked Snack and did not have Apps2sd. Now that Im on 2.2 with my root and NAND unlocked, I want apps2sd (more than just going into settings>applications> manage applications).

What would I have to do to get true apps2sd enabled? Also, is there an issue now that Im 2.2? Will partitioning the sdcard affect any root or nand unlock :confused:

Im just so confused what can or cant be done and what needs to be done without messing anything up. :rolleyes:

Hopefully this can help others with a similar question.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dglowe343:
A2SD is, I believe, automatic on Froyo. Partitioning your SD card won't affect anything root wise. It will wipe your entire SD card though. So be sure to back up anything you don't want to lose.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tlxxxsracer:
Can anyone confirm this?

But in order to partition the sd card through ROM manager- wont that wipe the card?

Also off topic from this (just to keep from cluttering the forum)- What about upgrading RA recovery 1.7.0.1- is there something to upgrade to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
its not automatic as far as i know, but you can move applications to your as card through settings->applications (yadda yaddda)

its a bit of work to get a2sd working on roms that dont have it enabled, well its not HARD or anything, just go to the a2sd thread in the dev section. i dont know if it works on 2.2 roms, i dont think so. regardless the information you need is there. good luck

Just to clear up any confusion,apps to sd is supported on stock froyo but only for apps that support it.The only way I've found to know if a certain app supports it or not is to go into manage applications and go through them one by one.If the app supports it there will be the option move it to sd.

[EVO 4G General] Hrshycro:
I'm not sure about your EVOs, but if I press in on my lens, slowly and evenly, I can feel it flex in and out, which leads me to believe it's made of plexi-glass. Thus, making the lens weak, and easier to scratch and crack. Seems like HTC went ****ty on this part too.

I love Android, and I don't really know why. I almost want an iPhone 4, but I enjoy my 23% Sprint discount.

Mine isn't scratched or cracked, yet, and I don't use any sort of case, but the photos and video quality still stucks ass. This is just my observation. I have H0003, btw.
[EVO 4G General] EliWay:
Do what I did, just cut a perfectly round piece of clear scotch tape and put over it. Instant and free lens protector. Took me a couple of tries to get it perfectly round, but you can't even tell it's there. Problem solved :D
[EVO 4G General] SilverZero:
Android has nothing to do with the camera lens. :confused:

Similarly, hardware issues with one phone have nothing to do with switching OSes entirely.

It's like non sequitur-ville around here. :) Just teasing, but yes, I suspected the same, especially if you look at how easily it picks up small scratches. It's not glass, I'd guess it's the same plastic that old phones used to have as their screens. But at least the whole back panel can be replaced fairly easily if needed (if you can find a replacement).

Easy for you to say, Giotto. ;)
[EVO 4G General] chazglenn3:
Yep...it's plastic. No case on my phone and no screen protector. Looks just like it did when I bought in Jun 4th. YMMV
[EVO 4G General] DaWhip:
I haven't had any issues with pics looking bad, i think it does amazing actually. I don't use a case either and I haven't noticed any marks on mine. That piece of plastic you are talking about is not the lens though, it is a lens protector. The lens is the small bluish/black part inside. It is pretty common for those to be plastic. I break them all the time at work (people aren't allowed to bring in cameras, even on a phone, so they break them) and I think all the phone cameras i have seen were plastic protectors.

Edit: I just found this in another thread: http://www.lensrentals.com/news/2008.10.30/front-element-scratches
[EVO 4G General] pecosROB:
I'm surprised no one has gotten this reference, or made a mention of it.

I'm guessing you're thinking of the Giotto that drew a perfect circle for the Pope when the Pope asked him, "now what can you do to show me your badass artistic skills?"

Only reason I know him? That was referenced on my application to Rice a while back (it's been 4.5 years since I graduated).

Facebook's newest update killing battery!

This is because htcfacebook is already syncing your contacts.

This is how to fix

1. launch the New facebook update

2. go to settings

3. scroll to other settings

4. look for Sync Contacts and choose Dont Sync

5. close facebook

Enjoy.

If you updated facebook YOU NEED TO CHECK THIS as this will consume memory and keeps you phone from fully sleeping

Hope this helps some.
