[Desire General] billydavey:
Can anyone explain to me why the alarm clock function on HTC devices will not work with the phone switched off like it does on most every other phone.

You can set the alarm etc. fine but the phone needs to be switched on in order for the alarm to go off.

Even my old Motorola had the ability to set the alarm, power the phone off and it'd still wake you up when it was supposed to?
[Desire General] StrongOneX:
its just the way it is. it is no way to fix it, but i guess your old phone didnt run android either
[Desire General] Heppieboeddah:
Whenn you switch off the phone, it makes sense that youre alarm is not working...:cool:

Do you use taskkillers? Jd or things like that?
[Desire General] billydavey:
No, no task killers and I understand that it obviously won't work becuase it's switched off, but if you remember on old 'normal' phones you could set the alarm, switch the phone off and the phone would 'wake' when the alarm was due.

This would be a huge battery saver for me as there are times when you're stuck in a hotel room without a charger, very little battery and the only alarm is on your phone. That's what I always used to do.

And yes, you're right, the old phones didn't have android and I LOVE my Desire, just this one thing that is slightly annoying and that I miss about smart phones.
[Desire General] sbdags:
You mean it doesn't work when you turn phone off with single click of power button? Mine does! It obviously won't work if you power down the phone as it doesn't have a hardware wake function.

Easily solved by just turning off normally or take a travel charger with you.
[Desire General] sparksalot:
He means like, just like in a PC, you can have it "off", that is similar to S5 and yet a flag somewhere has been set for it to boot up when the internal clock hits a certain time (e.g. a minute or two before the alarm is due to go off), then, it sounds the alarm.
[Desire General] AMoosa:
If battery is your primary concern, do what I do-set the alarm, but put the phone on flight mode. The battery goes down by 1% overnight! Sometimes 0 %!

Hi

I have read the letters DLNA in every review of Samsung Captivate. Does anybody know what it is? And or how it works. Any kind of information is helpful.
[Captivate General] rabbivj:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Living_Network_Alliance

basically you can share stuff over a network or wifi to yer mobile device...that is what AllShare is for.
[Captivate General] aloant:
For example... I can stream (via WiFi) videos from my Windows 7 computer to my Captivate. I can also do the reverse and stream videos from my Captivate to my computer's Windows Media Player or my hacked WDTV media player.
[Captivate General] absolutechaos92:
I have DNLA setup on my PS3, but I cant get it to work with the Captivate using AllShare. Whats your setup ?
[Captivate General] aloant:
I don't have a PS3, but if you have and want to try it over Windows 7:

For Windows 7->Captivate, you'll need to go to "Network and Sharing Center" and turn on "media streaming" somewhere in there. The files must be added in Windows Media Player's library. In the Captivate, select play from a server.

For Captivate->Windows 7, the Captivate's name shows up in Windows Media Player's left side. Click it and it shows the list of what's on the phone. In Captivate, just start All Share (nothing else).
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
anyone know how to have All Share NOT stretch the resolution of the incoming video and keep the aspect ratio of the file?
[Captivate General] radeon_x:
Annoying, isn't it?

In the actual "Video Player" app you can control how the video gets stretched - but not in the AllShare player. Why Samsung would choose to torture us like this is beyond me, but it makes me hate them so very much.

I will pay anyone who can figure out how to hack that size/aspect button from the video player to the allshare player.

paly music on ps3

I want to play music from my captivate on the PS3. I have a wirelles router. The phone connects to it through WiFi. The PS3 connects to it thorugh an ethernet cable. How can I make AllShare to recognize the PS3?
[Captivate General] spartan062984:
Good question. I am a Ps3 play myself and although i have already managed to stream videos with my phone over to the Ps3....i am still curious about music. I may try it later and report back what i find.
[Captivate General] adrianconst:
How did you do that?
[Captivate General] spartan062984:
If your Ps3 and phone are connected on the same network then they should "see" each other fine. If you scroll down on your Movies category on the Ps3 you will see your phone listed there.
[Captivate General] adrianconst:
Well, I can see my phone in Movies, Music and Photos on PS3. I can even see the songs and the photos I have on my phone. However, when I try to play a track I get DLNA 2104 error. I can see the thumbnails of the photos but when I try to view it I get a "network error". Is it possbile that this happens because my Netgear router is not configured as an Access Point?
[Captivate General] spartan062984:
Oh ok. I got that same error as well. Basically you want to make sure that:

A) Your Firewall (whether its 3rd party or just windows xp/ vista/ etc) is set to allow your device (ps3/ phone) to stream and share files.

B) Allow "network and sharing" center's Discovery mode and "file sharing" within Windows (or whatever OS you are running).

c) Also tell your net-gear that your Ps3 and phone are allowed to share files as well. I'm not quite sure how Netgear has their firewall setup. You may have to open DMZ (wouldnt recommend it tho).

I think theres more....ill have to post back when i remember all my steps...lol
[Captivate General] adrianconst:
a) What the Firewall on my computer has to do with the connection between the phone and PS3?

b) Similar to a). It's about the phone and the PS3 not the computer, right?

c) I'm not sure how do I do that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlyMon:
This is probably going to sound quite stoopid but I've tried to read up on RUUs and I still don't get it.

So, here's the question:

The original EVO RUU is on file at the XDA wiki

As are copies of each upgrade

Would it be possible on an EVO with either .3 or .6 Froyo to simply start over with the original RUU and then apply each update until at Eclair 1.47?

With the .6 stock rooted rom and the naked bunny 3.7.7 kernel I'm way happy myself, but for those with Froyo and desparate to get to root or for those who are simply too dissatisfied with things like Pandora being kinda broken - is this in any way an option?

I rather doubt it, otherwise I'd expect to have heard about this - but the whole RUU thing confuses me, I've never used (and hope never to use it) so I thought I'd ask.

Asbestos Underoos on, ready to be flamed if this is really that stoopid.

Thanks and cheers.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
The RUU's are for upgrading your system, unless you are rooted you will not be able to install an older version than what is on your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EarlyMon:
OK, many thanks. Promise I tried to search first.

Dear blah blah blah,

The DROID Incredible will be receiving the Froyo 2.2 update that is scheduled to be released before the end of the summer. However, we do not have any information about when the update will be released, what it will fix, or what features it will add to the device. We will not have any information about the update until it is released. You can keep an eye on our website, as when it is released it will be announced here blah blah blah

To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number blah blah blah.

[Droid Incredible General] DeeBG:
Heh I was just giving him a hard time because this isn't news and the date is always subject to change (based on the buzz, the OTA update is done, VZW is just having it's way with it before releasing). I would be sad to see them slip the summer release date though (the sooner we get the final, the sooner an exploit method can be found... hopefully).

Ok even though that letter conveyed no useful information whatsoever, at least it served purpose because they were responding to an inquiry...

As far as its purpose in here I have no clue.

Also I have no idea why people are calling or writing HTC and VZW. It's pointless. It's not like they've been just sitting around waiting for you to write them so they can finally tell someone.Someone will make an announcement when it is confirmed to roll out. Stop wasting your energy, it will happen soon enough.
[Captivate General] DarkVasyaK:
I am a USA visitor, am in Washington now. I was in the AT&T store today, was going to buy Captivate off contract and buy AT&T sim with data plan only and use until the end of this summer and then waiting for unlock to use in Russia, but AT&T guys said that they don't sell prepaid sim card with data plans for non-contract PDA phones which is Captivate for $500. I find it absolutely crazy, why then they sell smartphones off contract in this way? For whom? If this phone is full prices when buying it without contract, it is locked with AT&T and it's not even possible to use the internet with an AT&T sim. Well, does T-mobile provide data plans when buying prepaid sim card? Should I wait for unlock and then buy this phone and then connect to T-mobile until this summer? And, well, it's possible for unlock not to arrive so soon :D

And I heard that there is a Captivate coming to Rogers in the 20th of August, is there any info if it'll come off contract and unlocked(able)? And in this case it is possible for Rogers to send this phone to the New York's hotel, for example?:rolleyes:
[Captivate General] labbu63:
for data plan only say you have a ipad they will give you a prepaid data plan and you can use it by adjusting some settings
[Captivate General] jromeo350:
i just got the $20 100MB data plan to use in my captivate. the gophone sim and data work fine.
[Captivate General] caelestis2:
Don't get the captivate. ATT won't have unlock codes available for a long time.
[Captivate General] AllTheWay:
Yep that's what I was going to suggest. That's your best option. Buy a go phone sim card. Tell them you want the 100mb worth of data and that's it. Pop it into the phone and you will be good to go.
[Captivate General] DarkVasyaK:
100 mb is probably not enough for me, is it possible to get more with this go plan?

and about captivate, if Rogers starts selling it soon, this phone won't be exclusive and I think there is a great chance to get an unlock code in september for example

If a buy a data plan for iPad, will they give me a micro sim or normal sim? Will it work with captivate for sure?
[Captivate General] jromeo350:
yes... spend $20 more and get 200MB ;) Also, you can get a sim adaptor if you recieve a micro sim. If you go the ore-paid route, make sure you get the sim from a retail store and not from a gophone kit. I did this and had to get them to swap the sim (for free) to one that works in my new phone. Hope this helps!
[Captivate General] LordLugard:
You could get the T-Mobile Vibrant at full price (supports Euro 3G on the 2100mhz band for when you go back to Europe, needs unlocking though) and sign up for the Even More Plus Smartphone Unlimited Web & E-mail, no contract, $39.99. Should work.

Is it possible for Rogers to send phone outside Canada? In USA or Russia?
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
From everything I've seen, they won't ship outside of Canada. Though if you or a friend can go yo Canada, they will sell you one.

Another option is to find someone in Canada willing to buy and ship the phone.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate General] DarkVasyaK:
ok, I'll wait 2 weeks in this case and then decide what and when to buy

"This Metamorph theme will change the buttons on the HTC dialer and the Phone apks to look more like the vanilla dialer. After appyling, you will get a FC on the phone.apk, but then it will go away and everything will be fine."

All this does is skin the HTC Dialer to look like the Vanilla Dialer. What my question was is if you can replace the HTC Dialer with the Vanilla dialer, and yes, I did search, thank you. I have seen some posts saying that it isn't thought to be possible, but that doesn't mean it is, nor that someone may know something else.

I can't remember now, but a while ago I used the contacts.apk and phone.apk from an aosp rom (don't remember which one) on a sense rom (not sure which one either, maybe it was Tainted Vanilla).

You can try ripping those apks from and eclair (not froyo) rom and seeing if they work, or download the old Tainted Vanilla rom (maybe even one of the new ones) and see which dialer they use.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maxpower097:
So heres the deal. I bought this G1 because the price was so cheap and now I'm tracking down problem after problem. If you've read my post's you know I fixed the simcard port already to recognize simcards and not kill them, second problem reported was the phone would reset contacts every ngiht. I'm guessing this can be done through software updates/ROMS. Well I have Tmo with a full smart card data package. At first the guy selling it puts in his card and its lights up but won't activate saying it needs to talk to googles servers to create and account. He said he didn't have a data plan so I thought nothing of it. I get it home and fix it and load up my simcard and log into my gmail account with no problems, it loads up the phone and everythings great. I hard reset it and give it to my friend. He has the $10 nonsmartphone plan on his account. He puts it in and creates and new account and activates the phone no problems. It gives him full internet, youtube, etc... for about 5 hours. Then it cuts out and says he needs to upgrade his plan to use this phone. No more web or youtube. But whats weird is he could launch his browser and it would load google. He could even search google and wuold get live results. But if he clicked one it went to tmo's upgrade page. So I hard reset it again with the idea I'm gonna root it and repair it or even see if the problem is him not having a proper smartphone plan but now the phone won't connect to google servers with my sim card. I know its find because I can get online with my 3 other phones with no problem. But on the G1 now it sees the bar's and the 3G logo flash's a couple times then it times out and says it can't get a reliable signal to google servers. Anyideas what I can do to this thing? I was gonna root but you have to have the phone on and active to see hwat version you have. Any help would rock!

Thanks

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robuser007:
forget it: just use wifi:

really don’t you just have to:

1. go to rc29

2. on “click android” part setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1

3. on adb: am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

1. Just put in whatever SIM you are using, then on the activation screen, hit Menu then click on APN. Click add APN and put your company’s internet settings in (ask your provider for these settings). Then add the data plan to your account for the day and remove it after you have activated the phone OR get a friend with a data plan to activate it for you.

The following procedure can be used if none of the above are available to you…

I. Getting Back to RC29

1. This procedure requires you to be on an old version of Android (RC29 aka Android 1.0) so you must use our unroot procedure first and get to RC29, DO NOT DO THE STEP THAT TAKES YOU BACK TO CUPCAKE, skip it and come back to here once you are on RC29.

How To Get Back to RC29

2. You also need a WiFi connection to do this procedure.

II. Setting Up ADB

1. After you are back to RC29, follow our How To Setup ADB procedure EXACTLY as it is written. Once you are able to see your phone’s serial number after typing ADB devices in the command prompt, then come back to this procedure.

IIIa. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITHOUT a SIM.

1. Borrow someone’s SIM card then procedure to Section IIIb.

IIIb. Activating the Phone Over WiFi WITH a SIM but No Data Plan.

1. Turn on the phone, you will get a Touch Here to Begin Screen.

2. Open the phone’s keyboard and hit enter once then type the following on the phone’s keyboard:

setprop persist.service.adb.enable 1

3. Then hit enter.

4. Hit enter AGAIN and type the following on the phone’s keyboard:

telnetd

5. Then hit enter.

6. With the phone still plugged in and the command prompt still up on your computer screen from the ADB process, type the following in the command prompt on your computer with hitting an enter at the end of each line:

cd\

cd c:\AndroidSDK\Tools\

adb devices

*this should bring up a serial number if your phone is connected, if not then redo the setup ADB process.

7. Now, in command prompt on your computer, type the following with hitting enter at the end of each line:

adb shell

am start -a android.intent.action.MAIN -n com.android.settings/.Settings

8. On your phone should pop up the Android Settings screen, you can now choose a Wifi network to connect to then hit back and finish the activation process over Wifi. Enjoy!

PROBLEM SOLVED!

I finally spoke to a knowlegable TMo support tech today and found out whats going on. Your simcard has to be told its a G1 or you will get crazy anomolies like contacts dissapearing to not being able to activate anymore. The support guy who happened to be the 1 that was knowlegable said he's seen it hundreds of times with the G1. You put your simcard in activate google and everything works fine for a couple hours or days. Then you will start getting bugs and weird issues. Then the phone won't activate no matter what simcard you put in. At that point you must call Tmo and tell them to activate you phone as A G1 and remote reset it and all will fix itself. Thanks for the help guys.

One more question. Are all android phones like this? Or just G1's? I hate not being able to plug and swap out simcards from phone to phone depending on my mood.
