Hi forum,

I got two questions about this awesome 'hack' (i come from webOS so im tempeted to say patch lol).

First when i enable the wireless tethering i get it to work but my zune doesnt see it. I then checked with my desktop and it does see it but it see the wifi as a adhoc network. Im wondering if it being an adhoc network my zune doesnt see it. O and my gf's nexus one doesnt see it either. So what can i do to get my zune too see the my mifi?

Second, when froyo comes to the the captivate will this hack be buried on top of the 2.2 build? If so is there a way to revert back to stock?

Anyway great work and my many thanks to the developer!!!!!

What are sum good apps to replace write and go and memos
[Captivate Android Development] thindery:
what would be the best way to get the new jh3 leak and unleash the beast on your phone?

Is there an order that I would need to do to flashing? I currently have jh2 rooted, no lag fix, and no unleash the beast. I want to get to jh3 and all the unleash the beast benefits.

Thanks

Just reporting a bug.

Installed this last night on my 2.1 Captivate that was already rooted. Twice today after I turned the screen off (unknown amount of time cause I was at work) the screen went black and wouldn't recover. One other time the top half of the screen was black and took about 5 seconds to come back to life. The only other app I could think of maybe causing this is SetCPU...

My settings in SetCPU were:

ondemand

Max 1000

Min 100

It also didn't remove my AT&T boot animation
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
which is better, UTB or superrooter
[Captivate Android Development] lil2good20:
You removed MyFiles.apk witch allows you to upload files from the browser, That's a most for the galaxy s please bring it back.

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] iceman718:
Ran it today on a completely stock Captivate and everything worked. (wireless tether worked after doing the fix posted earlier in the thread) Awesome! Thanks.

One question...There are now several extra listings in the Manage Applications menu. Most of them look like they're referencing AT&T apps that were removed (com.mobitv.client.tv for example). There's about 15 of them. Are these all safe to remove?
[Captivate Android Development] h078:
Ran it yesterday on a completely stock Captivate and everything worked well.

However I noticed change in battery life. I was able to go about 36 hours on single charge with moderate use of Push mail, internet browsing, phone calls and sms.

This morning 8am I took the phone of the charger (Charging through the night) and by 3pm battery was down to 35% ... No new software installed in the meantime so I was wondering does news and weather have to do something with it or did anyone experienced similar issue
[Captivate Android Development] E_man5112:
I found something interesting today

Bugless Beast Teaser? That mean a full on ROM is coming? :D
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
Downloaded and flashed tonight. Seems to be working well.

What's a good non market app to download?
[Captivate Android Development] gerbick:
Feel free to treat me like a total n00b; however after reading this thread quite a bit, it seems to be a slight difference in people that's already rooted their phones versus those that's run this on their stock Captivate.

Some have the AT&T animation removed, some do not. My dilemma is this... and I've seen it asked but I just want to seek clarification before I go into this.

I have a good mix of phone numbers saved on my phone (for multiple numbers) and some are on my SIM card (most). And I've got my phone set up so far like I like it... so if I were to apply this, would I lose anything, including those numbers on the phone?

And what about the missing stuff that people are seeing if they're rooted? Is there a way to finish off those missing bits?

Thanks in advance and sorry to ask a question that's been asked in bits already. Just wanted to make sure before I go fully down this path in my rooted Captivate (sideloading is not enabled yet).
[Captivate Android Development] S4NDM4NN:
This worked great, just got around to flashing jh2 today and this made getting things back to how I like it a breeze. Thank you very much for this. Only had a couple issues, one not being such a big deal.

1) the market access app has a check for set at boot, this in no way shape or form has worked for me. No big deal really since I was using market enabler before, and had to manually force it after a reboot.

2) the wifi tether app did not work, it would always just force close. Reboot after reboot, nothing seemed to fix it. I started thinking maybe it was jh2, but decided to try an uninstall using titanium backup and then downloaded the latest release at the dev site for a reinstall. That seemed to do the trick! For anybody that needs it run the sideloading app then you can find it here under downloads. I used build 2.0.5-pre8:

code.google.com/p/android-wifi-tether/ (sorry wont let me post formatted links):rolleyes:

Again thank you very much this thing it made my jh2 install a breeze. If the wifi tether issue has already been addressed sorry I didn't read all 14 pages.

One future request of very little importance, make this thing delete all those dang default at&t contacts. I know they can be removed easily, but I like when things are done automatically.

Anyway thanks again!

[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
Just wanted to say thanks!! - have UTB up and running.

I also ran into the tether issue people noted before. Simply followed the advice of others and went to code.google.com / p/ android-wifi-tether /wiki /FAQ

to grab the wireless_tehter_2_0_5-pre8.apk file. Used the QR code since it made life a little easier.

Just follow the advice noted earlier in this thread about making sure you reinstall the files.

Once again thanks! Worked flawlessly and was beyond simple to get up and running on the 2 new captivates I put it on yesterday.
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
no contacts were lost for me last night. i still have everything i did before
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
I flashed I89UCJH3 and ran this on my captivate. When I go the the phone app and dial *#1234# I get I897UCJF6 on PDA. Why is that?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
Based on what I know about the market and beta firmware, I'd say that utb is altering the build.prop file to keep the market working. If that file was from jh2 or jh3, the market would probably not show all apps. I have not run utb, I'm just using what I found out about the market problems to try and answer this question.

I did *#1234# after flashing I897UCJH2, and got the PDA of I897UCJH2, with a broken market. After modding the build.prop file, I now get I897UCJF6, and the market works.
[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
Did you do the lag fix after installing UTB? Right now my benchmark score is 901, and I'm tempted to install the lag fix, but don't want to mess anything up.

Thanks.

I'm guessing that: update_v2.2.1_ext4_without_root.zip would be the one to use from Tayutama?
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
I did not try the market before running utb :(. Everything is working fine now so i will leave it like that. Thx!!
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
if i install this, does this erase everything on my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] S4NDM4NN:
It seems the issue I had with the market app not setting at boot went away today :)
[Captivate Android Development] Billabond1:
So I just made the big switch from iphone to andriod. Got my captivate yesterday. Ran this tool and now I can not connect to my wireless network. Computers can connect ok. Any ideas? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
Ok so whenever i try to start wireless tethering, it says "unable to start tethering. Please try again!" Any idea what thats all about? Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] Jim_C:
How do I do this? I have the correct files on my computer, but I

have no idea how to move them to my Captivate. Any help would

be appreciated, and thanks in advance.

THANKS!!!

Just wanted to Say THANKS MAN!!! Awsome work, installed in like 12 seconds lol,easy like cake! Great job
[Captivate Android Development] jdsemler:
I had to do this a few times on my Captivate. It seems like if things aren't just the way it wants it, it kills all my installed apps and Android Market. If you aren't starting fresh, make sure you do a good backup first, or you have a chance of starting fresh. :)
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
Faster!!!

Phone seems to run faster since I rooted with the beast!! Is it because of all the bloat ware is gone?
[Captivate Android Development] phishie:
Having trouble trying to modify the updated hosts file.

I did and adp pull, edited the hosts file and saved, but can't push it back to /system/etc/hosts. I get a "permission denied" error. Figured this meant I'm not mounted with write permissions so I tried adb root but it gives me error "cannot run as root in production builds" and adb remount gives me error "remount failed: No such file or directory".

Any ideas?

*edit* I'm running one-click root, unleash the beast, circle battery and ext2 lag fix.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Set usb debugging on

Pull down menu

Click on USB conntected

Mount

Open G/I drive which ever you have

Copy update.zip to the open area, probably going to replace an update that is already in the sd

boot into recovery

volume down to restore

power button

you will be all set.
[Captivate Android Development] Ogawa:
This is great! Everything is running sooo much faster. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Sportsguy15:
How does the market unrestrictor work?
[Captivate Android Development] Sportsguy15:
and I still can't get Wireless Tether to work. It turns tethering on, but when I go to connect on my laptop it stays on "connecting to AndroidTether" forever and never connects...

I wonder what the deal is.
[Captivate Android Development] Sportsguy15:
Got master access to work, tether is still being dumb. I can always use easy tether and go usb I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] Luken10:
Hey I love how easy this is to use, worked like a charm for me. However there were a couple apps that you remove with this and I was wondering if you could post them so we can install the ones some people still might want to use.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
nope, not yet. shame too, its the only thing preventing me from trying it out.
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
Whenever i try to start wireless tether, it always says unable to start tethering. Please try again....noob here, any help would be nice :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Ogawa:
Thanks so much, this worked great!
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
mchimney, Thanks A LOT for that workaround! It worked perfectly. To those that do this workaround, remember to enable sideloading (instructions found in first post)

You guys can also scan this to get to the wireless tether apk as well:
[Captivate Android Development] shagdaddy:
Ok scratch the earlier post, i uninstalled it and reinstalled it with titanium backup, so itll start now, but it doesnt appear to be putting out any actual wifi...my computer isnt seeing it and it stays on 0.0kb downloaded and 0.0kb uploaded...now whatve i done lol

Edit:I also tried the above methods just in case, but im still having the same problems :(
[Captivate Android Development] joia:
Just want to say thanks for this, it worked great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] dsc522758:
Wow...You are the man! I wouldn't mind having the startup and power off sounds back. I'll figure it out eventually. You have done some sweet, sweet work!
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
My Superuser Access application force closes all the time, any idea why?
[Captivate Android Development] pduboise:
Professor, mine was doing the same thing until I installed Superuser from the market. That over-wrote my previous version and now works great.
[Captivate Android Development] timn2bama:
it did me the same way and I went to market and updated it. I think its up to v2.3.5 now I downloaded the one with the adroid guy with crossbones
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
cool stuff, you'll get a donation when i get a job or my unemployment goes through
[Captivate Android Development] djbberko:
THANK YOU

Switched from an iPhone couple of days ago and got the Captivate. DO NOT REGRET. UTB worked like a charm. Im a noob at Android stuff and this worked easily! Installed this and then one click lag fix and my quadrant score is 2157! Thats insane! I also have wireless tethering working. If you guys have questions with this I may be able to help (even though Im a noob)

THANK YOU
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Having a slight problem, I ran this after unhelpful's overclock kernel and my quadrant score is very unimpressive. Upper 900's, I also used cpu benchmark and that is now showing clock speed as 550mhz and that's not even an option, before I installed(uninstalled?) this that app worked fine WTF??? Any suggestions? I think I'm gonna restore the phone to stock

EDIT: disregard, i'm a dumb ass, never completed the procedure for the lag fix. now i get a 2505 in quadrant. as for the other benchmarck program i dont really care if it doesn't work anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] djbberko:
Sorry Noob Question but

If I have done this and the lag fix and rom manager can I flash a custom Rom or do i have to use odin for stock? I already backed up nandroid so if I do a custom ROM will my backup still be there?
[Captivate Android Development] ProfessorAsian:
Thanks that worked great. Now for side loading, shouldn't there be a checkbox that says allow installation from unknown sources?
[Captivate Android Development] alexcotta:
noob to rooting "android"

okay i wanted to know if there is a way to flash back to stock ROM in the event of needing a repair
[Captivate Android Development] Sportsguy15:
So this works with the lag fix? I'm a noob when it comes to the lag fix, anyone care to provide a link to the proper one?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Yes I used the update.zip lagfix which also changes the version of superuser permissions, it is working great.

Its the one posted by tayutama and is linked to in zilch25's thread, there is now one file whether you are rooted or not, if you are rooted it just changes the version of superuser permissions

I haven't figured out linking from the app I'm using on my phone.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897

WTF? REALLY?

if i had to something like that, id either kill myself or throw the phone in the bin and do some real exercise :/
[Android Apps and Games] appelflap:
Very original, that's for sure :D
[Android Apps and Games] bladez:
Oh my god, it's from that excersise anime that consists of nothing else than pantsu/boob shots and excersise.

I think it was called Isshoni Training.
[Android Apps and Games] abn75:
Hilarious that's all I can say.
[Android Apps and Games] prodygee:
Wow, exactly the same as what this app is called :P
[Android Apps and Games] Linnel:
Of course, no one actually links to the app, and when I finally found it, its ¥525, so not worth it, even as a joke.

Anyways, its listed in the market as TRAINING WITH HINAKO... and its very existance makes me cry...

[Desire General] gogol:
Hi,

This might be a dumb question.

On normal situation with Android phone:

When I turn on my device from sleep, I could not see the 3G icon ... Only the signal strength. Then after couple of seconds, the 3G icon came up.

My phone works like this since I have it.

My question, does this mean the 3G data is also sleep when the phone sleep? Because when I wake it up, the 3G icon does not immediately come back.

Thanks.
[Desire General] s1977:
Yes, it does disconnect after a period of inactivity (if you look at the android logs) when the phone is in sleep mode. There is a setting which you may not have enabled. it goes on the lines of 'Enable always on mobile data' under wireless and network options.

However if the phone needs to connect to the net, then i think it will re-connect in that time period. This is what you see when the 3G icon appears after a few seconds on wake up. I have always seen the phone to do this.
[Desire General] gogol:
Allright,

I was thinking if this kind of app is really necessary:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7547017

But, I guess, it is useful because during the sleep mode, some app might require internet access (email sync for example).
[Desire General] s1977:
Maybe....The only reason i say this is that the OS will start a new network connection in the background even when the phone is sleeping...thats how your emails are sync'd and so is everything else...
[Legend General] technobe:
Hi to all!

I'm thinking of buying either the Legend or Desire. There are two things that are important to me. The battery life and storing applications on the memory card. I suppose that the latter will be taken care of by the upcoming update to Froyo (if it ever happens!). How about the battery life? How long does it last on the Legend? Would anyone have any experience with the Desire vs the Legend on this? All comments appreciated!

Thanks in advance!!!
[Legend General] jorgesalvador:
I don't have experience with the Desire but my Legend performs battery wise as expected from a smartphone I guess.

After the last update I discovered for example that leaving Google Reader open in the browser in the background drained power, so I now leave the browser always on the google homepage or kill it altogether when I'm not using it and I've seen an increase in battery life.

Anyhow, I give it a pretty intense use, on a work day I listen to podcasts on it for some hours at least, I connect it to my car bluetooth on the commutes (40 mins average total), read email, etc. And it lasts me the full day without problems, usually ending the day with 30% or more battery left.

It obviously depends on how each one uses their phones, as tricks like the Reader one I mentioned can make a difference.
[Legend General] familyhousing:
The Legend seems to have slightly superior battery to me. My legend ends the day at about 30 percent after 2 hours of Bluetooth stereo playback, and plenty of latitude use and web browsing. My partner's new desire ends the day about about the same but without the music playing I do.

I was jealous of the desire when my partner bought it but If I had the choice of legend or desire again, it would be a hairline decision to buy legend again. If Legend had live wallpaper I would choose legend without doubt.
[Legend General] sturk91:
My battery life is even better than my old dumbphone. With medium use and pretty stringent management (ie. a task killer, bluetooth and wifi off unless I need them), I can get about five days on a charge.
[Legend General] lessirey:
Are you sure you are using the original battery ? I have never heard anyone reporting 5 days on any smartphone on even minimal usage. Legend seem to give 1 to 2 days max on minimal usage.
[Legend General] hookahey:
I have on two occasion to manage get three days but five days? Naah, not with the original battery.
[Legend General] jorgesalvador:
Well if you disable APN the thing can last 5 days, but with net connection active definitely no way.
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
I can believe he gets 5 days out off this phone. I can get 3 days out of it with very good reception, some hours of browsing and 20 texts a day. Almost no calling and 3G always on AND WITH A GOOD TASK KILLER I always kill almost every app before putting it in standby you just need to know what you can and can't kill.
[Legend General] Bricolo_fr:
I can do 3 days with low use (maybe 10min calls and 20sms a day) and APN off most of the time.

With APN on I don't think it will last more than 2 days max
[Legend General] sturk91:
Just to clarify, I do turn off my mobile internet unless I'm using it at that moment, and yes I'm using the stock battery.
[Legend General] KK43:
Sure, if you turn everything off it'll last a few days, but then might as well carry a dumbphone
[Legend General] c_man:
Hey all,

I've been using Azure 1.0 on my Legend.

In case anyone is wondering what battery life is like on this ROM [I know I wanted to know before I decided to run it...] :

I've just got the best usage for this ROM in terms of battery life, since I started using it [0.5].

I haven't gone for Azure 1.0.1, and have stuck to 1.0 as I didn't have any APN issues...

Voice calls = 1hr 3m 15s + SMSing

WiFi = 6hr 46m 46s

For the hours that WiFi was not on, Data [H/3G] was always enabled.

Approx 1hr 45min of browsing

Approx 10 emails received and replied to

Battery life was pretty poor when I first installed the ROM.

Then I used SetCPU to help....but it didn't seem to help too much...:rolleyes:

Now I am seeing better battery life, like the above.

No idea if this is good/bad for this ROM, but for me, its the best I've seen yet....

...though still probably not as good as I first saw on the stock ROM before the update which messed up the stock SMS app was pushed out...
[Legend General] kenjiver:
18 hours ~ 24 hours average. 1 and a half day or so if I'm lucky.

2G network. only switch on 3G when it's needed.

Wi-Fi, gps and bluetooth if needed. If not, it's turned off all the time.

always leave my Trillian (MSN/YM/gTalk) turned on almost all the time (like 75% of the time).

WhatsApp for 24 hours.

Mail fetching every 4 hours.

Twidroyd fetching every 15 minutes.

Urbandictionary widget fetching every hour or so.

15 minutes of call average.

Texting about 10-20 times a day.

And data counter widget running all the time.

Rooted and using a nice clean ROM called "CleanEclair 1.6.2"

Got a good Task Manager too.

It's definitely better than my old iPhone 3g.

BUT, if you are asking "Desire or Legend"

I may choose desire for it's better hardware.

PS: Sorry about my bad english.
[Legend General] juux:
Just to echo previous statements about battery life, I too get an easy 24 hours from my UK Legend. It usually has at least 30% charge left when I plug it in at night (10-11pm), this is from about 6am. As I type this as 4.30pm it has 69% left.

I leave data and wifi on all the time but only enable GPS & Bluetooth when needed. The phone connects by wifi at home but is in a marginal 2G location when I'm at work (cheers, Vodafone!) so probably has to work quite hard to keep connected to the network.

Google services and Twitter update constantly, Facebook every hour.

Don't run any task killer apps as I found they made naff all difference.

I do watch how many browser tabs I have open and what's on them thought as I notice that some pages really suck the battery dry.

Navigation is the real killer on the Legend (or any Android I guess); the combination of screen on, GPS enabled and heavy duty data use means it can go flat in as little as 3 hours. A power cable in the car will only supply 500mA, rather than the full 1A that a main scharger will, so it only really slows down the drain on the battery.

Other than that I expect the phone to fit my life, not the other way round. The effort that some expend to micro-manage their battery life really baffles me!
