[Wildfire General] azahidi:
I am trying to sync with Exchange server, via 3G or internet connection.

I've done quite a lot of search on the problem but there're not many clear solution. So I decided to delete the account (all mails, calendar and contacts deleted) and re-activate again (of course very tedious, especially with so many emails and contacts to sync). But so far it seems to solve the problem (not sure what was wrong), sync every hour and it's good. Have to wait for a few days and see how it goes.
[Wildfire General] azahidi:
Exchange ActiveSync

Update

After two days (after deleting and re-activating account), Activesync seems to be working alright now. Mails, calendar and contacts auto updated without problem, both using G/3G/E/H or WiFi :) Not sure what was wrong :confused:
[Wildfire General] azahidi:
After about a week it happened again. No outlook emails coming in. When force sync, "Sync Prorocol Error" came out. However I can send emails and I can sync "sent item" folder but not "inbox". Calendar and contacts are ok.

Anyone experienced and found answers to this.
[Wildfire General] azahidi:
It happens again. no mails coming in from Exchange. So I had to delete the account, reactivate again, and all the mails start coming in again.

Anyone else having then same problem, know what is wrong and have a solution. Thank you.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oneders65:
I have google searched and used these directions (in the xda-developers > Samsung Captivate > Captivate General Forum)

Short instructions for Windows users

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

If you are going to rip Bluray or any other HD medium you must first get AnyDVD HD it will counter any of the protection schemes that Bluray and HDDVD disks use as well as DVD. If all of your sources are DVD then AnyDVD will do. Of course for BR you must have a BR player installed in your computer.

You need the following tools, at the very least:

AnyDVD HD (Please buy this and don't torrent it, it is that good!)

RipBot264 (it is much faster than Handbrake at re-encoding)

VidCoder (requires Handbrake to be installed but is a better GUI for Windows users)

Simplistic instructions:

•Place DVD/HDDVD/BR in drive

•Allow ANYDVD HD to scan disk

•Right click ANYDVD HD icon and select "Rip Video DVD to Harddisk"

•Open VidCoder

•Start with the Apple Universal profile and edit is as follows:

◦Picture > Max Width 800 (Changed to 480x320)

◦Video Filters > Denoise Medium

◦Video > Average Bitrate (kbps) 1500

◦Audio > Target All, Codec AAC, Mixdown Stereo, Sample Rate 48, Bitrate 128

•Make sure you change the Container and extension to .mp4 then Save As... and call it Captivate or any other meaningful name.

If you use those settings any HD (1080) source will likely end up being about 1-2 GB in total size. With the settings saved you can then select a video source, it can be anything that Handbrake supports from VOB to MT2S to MP4 to MKV files. Pick a Destination location and name and start encoding.

I have a Core i7 running at 3.5Ghz with 8GB RAM and a full length movie takes about 2x-3x the run length, so a 120 minute movie will take anywhere from 4 to 6 hours to encode, SD (DVD, 720p HDTV, SDTV) will encode much faster, sometimes even faster than 1x runtime.

You can also to the same with Ripbot264 with the added bonus that Ripbot can handle subtitles, but those instructions are for another day.

to try to get a movie of mine transfered to my phone. If does not play.

Can someone help me with the right settings or with their own instruction on how they transfer their movies. I'm using the following programs (VidCoder,DVDDecrypter, andHandbrake).

TIA
[Captivate General] mchimney:
Hey again,

I rooted my captivate using the JH2 Rom and the Unleash the beast rooter thingy. So i was all hunky dory playing around setting up my wireless tether and showing some friends, but then one of them told me that AT&T can find out if i'm tethering and will bill me an astronomical amount at the end of the month.

Is there any truth behind this?

p.s. off topic i know, but is it possible to unroot unleash the beast?

Thanks!!
[Captivate General] mesasone:
It's unlikely that AT&T will find out you're tethering unless maybe they take a closer look at your account (due to excessive usage), and see that your user agent strings are for a desktop browser, etc. But I'm not entirely sure they can even legally do that (examine your data). Just go easy (no bit torrenting) and you'll do fine.

They will charge if you they find out - it's an extra 30 bucks for tethering, and it's only 2 gigs total - which is just absurd. If they're going to charge you extra, they should at least include extra data - a lot of extra data. Tethering is quite possibly one of the biggest rip offs in the mobile industry - neck in neck with the high fees for texting.
[Captivate General] mostyle:
My thing...

The initial stock ROM allowed tethering wired whether or not you paid.

The current ROM right now has tethering removed completely.. I find it outlandish that were I paying for the tethering right now I couldn't even do it legally.
[Captivate General] startngate:
AT&T has theoretically charged extra for tethering since nearly the beginning of internet access on a cell phone ... :rolleyes:

I tether frequently when traveling (not only on my Captivate but with several other phones previously), and have yet to see any additional charges. Have also never paid the extra $20-$30 for an AT&T data plan which 'includes' tethering.

AT&T may try to lock it down in future ROMs but I imagine there will always be developers finding 'work-arounds'. They certainly have for wireless tethering ... :D
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
Wireless tethering from unleash the beast doesnt even load (FC) on my ohone,.
[Captivate General] N!ghtgold:
I'm a former at&t employee the only way they will know is if you have excessive data use. Like downloading. A couple gigs a day. If you use the tethering for normal internet browsing they will never know. Just don't do any bit torrents from Yuri device haha. You would be surprise how many peoples accounts I saw with 10 gigs in a few days. But so you know your save there isn't away for them to know what your doing they only see how much data is being sent a received.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LP_sk8er:
I really want to try the Snap 7.0 Kernel for CM6 but I need some help before I go and format/delete my SD Card. I dont want to get stuck.

The OP says if you're not comfortable restoring a NAND backup from your pc[ you should not try this. I'm comfortable with doing NAND backup via recovery but i'm not sure about from the PC.

If someone has already installed Snap 7.0 and can help me with any commands I might need during the install that would be awesome. I didnt want to post this in the Snap thread because OP says he's not helping with restore type questions.

Snap Thread below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=733099.

Instructions from the Snap Thread below:

Before you read any further, please do the following:

* 1) Perform a nand backup.

* 2) Copy your nand backup to your PC.

* 3) Use Titanium backup or My Backup Pro to back your apps up and store them on your PC.

If you are not comfortable restoring your phone from a nand backup from your PC, you should probably avoid using the QS kernels. I will not offer support for restore related issues.

Ok, let's get to it:

The cleanest way to install Snapv7 is:

* Flash CM6 8/14 nightly with a complete wipe

* Format your SD Card (as described below)

* Flash Snapv7

You can avoid a wipe with this procedure:

* Install RA Recovery. You can also install RA from the alternate recovery section in ROM Manager.

* Reboot into RA and Parition your SD Card as follows: 0MB Swap, 512MB (or 640MB--whatever you want to use if fine) Ext2. Warning: This will erase your SD card. You have a backup stored on your PC right?

* Toggle USB Mount (on)

* Copy cm6-snapv7.x.zip to your SD Card

* Toggle USB Mount (off)

* Flash cm6-snapv7.x.zip

* Reboot

* After the system boots, you may have to reboot if your icons or widgets do not appear correctly. I've also seen cases where widgets had to be re-added. Tuna informed me during one test, he saw a bunch of FC's that a reboot cured. So if you have any problems on the first boot after a successful flash, just reboot and you should be good to go.

* Congratulations, you're done.

----------------------------------------

I already have my SD card backed up on my PC along with a recent NAND & Titanium Backup. I'm just waiting for some more detailed instructions so that I can pull the trigger. Specifically where it says

* Toggle USB Mount (on)

* Copy cm6-snapv7.x.zip to your SD Card

* Toggle USB Mount (off)"

Is that supposed to be done while in Recovery? Am I supposed to somehow enter a manual command to do this part and then after the phone boots, restore my SD card from my PC?

Sorry for the long post, any help is much appreciated!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elegantai:
I just did this last night actually :D went without a hitch. I did a full wipe of my phone, then installed cm6 8-15 nightly(and the new gapps). Let the phone do a reboot until it got to the lockscreen, then just shut down the phone while skipping the set up.

Booted into recovery, partitioned the sd card 0 mb swap and the highest ext2 partition that was under 1GB (i forget what it was)

After that, (I use amon recovery), I connected to usb in recovery, moved the kernel over along with setCPU apk, and flashed the kernel. Let it reboot, installed setCPU and adjusted the values, and set up my accounts.

I just used the 7.0 kernel. Make sure to grab setCPU from the forums here, because as he notes it defaults to 1.15GHz and unless you change it your battery will run down quickly.

Just make sure you have a nandroid backed up to your computer because when you partition the ext2 it formats the whole card. Not sure about the whole recovering from PC, I would imagine if anything goes wrong you should still be able to access the boot loader and put the nandroid back on the sd card.

... to adress the connect usb question, I know that is an option in the amon recovery menu ...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] criccio:
He only mentions recovering from your PC because in tjw beginning of his tuturiol, he tells you to copy the nandroid backup files to your PC. You don't actually use the PC for restoring...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LP_sk8er:
This is exactly what I needed. I didnt realize when u enable the USB-MS option in Recovery it lets your SD card be used like the hard drive mode when you're booted. I'm going to go ahead and try this now.

[Epic 4G General] tommer12:
With the "mobile hotspot" is what sprint is going to try and charge for $29.00 a month extra?! I have a windows mobile phone and I can teather my windows phone to my laptop via bluetooth or USB cable and it works great when Im in on the go or stuck in the airport or datacenter... etc. I have been reading that PDAnet will do the trick as well.

Another question, how will I be able to sync to Exchange? I really need to sync everything to Exchange as I do with Windows... hate to say it.. but is "is there an app for that" (hate iphones).

Mine is on reserve, ready for a new OS and phone. Windows for years and years.. ready for a change. (hopefully)
[Epic 4G General] gophergun:
You can use PDAnet, though I would honestly recommend just rooting it once we get the option to, as it really expands your tethering options.

As for Exchange support, I know there's some degree of support in 2.1, and it was expanded upon in 2.2. You should be able to sync with just the default mail app, though I've heard it depends on the phone manufacturer.
[Epic 4G General] ImSoHungry:
root your epic on day one with the one click root and enjoy fee tethering, our wait until september for froyo and hope sprint doesn't lock down the tethering that comes with it. Personally, I will root on day one just like I did with my nexus.

[Epic 4G General] tommer12:
Nice... thanks everyone
[Epic 4G General] Altos:
I'm coming from the Hero, and currently running 2.2. The exchange support that is built in is good, but there is a very good app ($20 on the market) called Touchdown, that is a superb Exchange client. It allows you to access all of your Exchange folders (not just the inbox), calendar, tasks, contacts, etc.

The only downfall of Touchdown is that it does use Push - which can eat battery quick if you are in a poor service area. You can turn off Push, and just set polling intervals - this will save battery tremendously.
[Epic 4G General] tommer12:
Yeah, I have a Touch Pro and I have my activesync on checking every 10 minutes. I do not need to to super live connected to email. Or I hit the manual button to sync. Touchdown sounds perfect.

Anyone notice this blurb about the data plan? "Everything Data Plan with $10 Premium Data Add-On is required for each Samsung Epic™ 4G "

So does this mean I cant use my 1500 minute plan anymore? Which would suck
[Epic 4G General] Altos:
No, your current plan is fine, but there is an additional $10/mo fee for this phone, just as with the HTC EVO 4g.

It gives unlimited 3g/4g access (no caps). I've not understood why it's required, but honestly - $10 more on my plan, but I'm still paying only half of what I would with Verizon or AT&T (4 phones on my plan, all unlimited text/data and the same 1500 minute plan + 24% employee discount where I work).
[Epic 4G General] tommer12:
Diddo.. I have 25 percent with my employer as well... yahoo! But they dont cover the everything plan with 25 percent off... bah... still cheaper than att and verizon

As far as I can tell the Pro version just removes the ads. I found that if you disable your net connection on the free version this also seems to suppress the adverts.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardatdat:
Hi all,

Having a rooted Nexus one in my hand, I have been playing around with many of the custom ROMs and kernel over the past few months. (Thanks to nandroid backup)

For ROMs, I have been playing around with CM, LeoFroyo, Modaco, Kang-o-rama, ... stock FRF91 deoxed by Geo411m...etc.

For kernel, have been happy in using the intersectRaven's one dated at 0802 (stable one for me...)

Just a few days before, I have setup a Ubuntu... install the jdk 1.5; git; repo; .... and all necessary files for compiling the source from git://android.git.kernel.org/platform/manifest.git -b froyo

Getting the source and compiling are very time consuming jobs because my network speed and computer are not very fast :p

So, I have successful compile the source, running lunch full_passion-userdebug ; make -j4 for my dual core machine, and find the system.img

I also download and install the dsixda kitchen, based on Leo's ROM, I have replaced it with my newest compiled apps (apks..) and pngs (black status bar :) ) and also replace the zImage from intersectRaven's kernel into my boot.img. After flashing the ROM in recovery, I am so lucky that my phone can boot up =_= with everything very smooth and OK.

Now, I have a few questions, as a newbie developer (sincerely asking for help~)

1) How can I get the latest google apps (gapps), and where can I get it? Are there any 'source code' for gapps? How to compile them?

2) If I want to get the source again (e.g. get the newest source of browser.apk), how & what command should I use?

3) If I want to modify the system settings, that is "Settings -> About Phone", which file should I modify?

4) After I get the source of AOSP, compilied them, is it mean that I have the rom deoxed? (Because I can see system/apps/ and all apps are breaking down into apks)

5) I enjoy using good things from others (e.g. LeoParts from Leo's ROM. Can I merge it into my rom and re-distribute after that? How?)

6) Is it necessary to sign *all* apk before they can be run on the phone?

7) I use dsixda kitchen and use testsign.jar. Just want to ask will the signing expires? And is it OK to distribute the ROM using test signing?

I know I get so many questions and they are so 'newbie...'. Sincerely hope that experts in this forum can answer my questions.

Once again, thanks all the ROM / Kernel makers in motivating me to custom the AOSP ROM myself.

Many thanks for all of your help.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
GApps are proprietary, closed-source applications... you can get them from http://mirror.kanged.net/gapps/gapps-hdpi-20100814-signed.zip

repo sync and then rebuild

Change the values in build.prop in /system or system.img

AFAIK, yes, they are de-odexed. I believe you need to odex them later if you wish.

git merge (I forgot the detailed steps), repo sync and build

Yes, I believe this is a must.

This should be fine... most, if not all, custom ROMs are signed with test keys...

Hope I've been able to help a bit, if not much... have fun building!!! Ask the ROM gurus on twitter...

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] craigacgomez:
repo sync takes several hours the first time... but every successive sync is a delta/differential sync... depending on the number of changes in the repository, it could finish in a few minutes.
