Hi, unfortunately I broke the mini-USB connector soldered on my qtek 9100. now I know how to load the battery or rather I ordered a battery charger from China but I will come no earlier than 20 days. Now while I unsoldered a 5-pin connector of an old camera and I paid the phone. The problem is still not working. my question is:

it takes a mini USB 5 pin connector for my particular phone or go well all those who are around?

Thanks and I hope I was clear!

It is good to hear your success story. My brother has an old Cingular wizard with a broken USB connector. He dropped the phone while it was plugged in. I will visit him next week, and will try to repeat your success.

He still has a stock Cingular ROM, and has never had a data plan.

He uses it as a PDA that happens to also be a phone.

Pull the battery, get back into download mode with the key combo and start again. Odin is finicky and sometimes takes more than one try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Well the log says "removed" so somehow your USB connection got interrupted... which means your phone is going to be in Phone/Computer screen hell.

Close Odin, unplug your phone, pull out your battery/sim/sdcard.

Open Odin, put in your battery, attach USB, and hold both volume buttons without applying power to get back into download mode to try again

If that doesn't work:

Unplug the phone from everything, hold both buttons and power... keep holding power till the screen turns off, continue holding power- the screen will turn off a second time, at that point release power and continue holding the volume buttons and you *should* get the download screen
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thecoolestcow:
Thanks for the quick replies! Unfortunately, Odin doesn't seem to see that it's connected. I don't see anything in the ID:COM boxes. I changed USB ports, nothing. Should I uninstall and reinstall the drivers?

Odin won't see it unless the phone is powered up in download mode, if you've gotten it to download mode and Odin still can't see it then yeah... your drivers might be fubar
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ag4vr:
Odin tends to work best for me if I get everything set up in Odin just short of pressing the start button before connecting the phone to the computer and putting it in download mode. Maybe it's superstition, but it seems to help me avoid some of those timeout issues.

I keep seeing open odin and do this , open odin and plug in phone. its always sounds like an easy step, but for someone who doesnt know how to even get odin, it has prevented me from doing alot of things with my phone.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnnydeathmatch:
I understand what you mean, I just got my captivate yesterday and spent a six+ hours figuring that stuff out. I think I might try to write up the steps I went throigh to help other Android noobs like me. I'm coming from an iphone so this is all new for me. The good news: I figured it all out finally and so can you. I now have JH3 installed, and the super root mod, overclocked and evertything. My quadrant score went from stock of around 900 something to 2160 after all the tweaks I applied. I cant wait to see how it performs with 2.2!

Ok, so basically heres what i figured out; to use Odin, you'll need a firmware image, and Odin will be included. I recommend upgrading to JH3 and installing SuperRoot. It makes everything pretty painless. SuperRoot installs lagfix, root, and much much more all at once.

Search for the SuperRoot thread (IIRC). In there is a link to instructions on how to restore your phone to stock. Look for the thread on JH3 and get that image. Post 6 in that thread has instructions, and the restore to stock thread has more of an explanation. Then, you can do whatever else you need. HTH.

Ill get on my pc in a minute a put the links in here.

This page has all the files you need:

You need the firmware file, the PIT file, and Odin. The links for all of that is on the above page. The PIT file and Odin are under the section called "Flash Tools."

Once you've restored, you can follow the instructions for the first link I gave (SuperRooterExtreme). Or, you can do whatever else you want. This is just what I figured out yesterday.

I know what it's like to not know what Odin is! Took me forever to figure it out, I downloaded all kinds of stupid crap before I got it right.

I want to upgrade me phone to a Captivate [I'm eligible]. Question is, when I go for an upgrade, there is no mention of contract terms by the Captivate. It doesn't even allow me to select a data plan or any features. I am a premier member by the way. Is the price of $199 the price of the phone itself of they are just hiding the contract terms (as in which data plan they will give me and for how long)?

As you see in the screenshot, the iPhone states the contract terms and pricing, while the Captivate just shows the price of $199.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nbohmer:
Its going to require a contact. Did you click through it a page or two? It will tell you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
Are you on a secondary or tertiary line? I was, too and AT&T's site wouldn't allow me to choose a data plan even for phones that required it. You either have to have the primary account holder make you an "authorized buyer" by calling 611 on their phone OR go through a third party vendor like Amazon Wireless or Wirefly who was just try to confirm you are a part of the plan by asking you questions about the owner of the account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
I am both an authorized buyer and proceeded until the checkout page. I guess it is automatically a 2year contract but doesn't upgrade to a data plan until you actually set the phone up?

So technically, if I were to want a Captivate and the next Android phone, I could upgrade my line and another line, yet never use the Android on the second upgraded line in order to not require a data plan? Hmm.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ph8:
No matter what you do they will require a Data plan. Most of the smartphones they seel REQUIRE a data plan, its one of the stipluations they have. As soon as they see the phone on the network they will add one for you if you dont have one.

As far aas plans go, when you are a premire account holder it just carries over your current plan to the new phone. If you wanted to change your plan (Data\Voice) then you would need to call them up to do that.

For the rest of it yes you could upgrade one line and wait for the next Android to upgrade the second line. I beleive second lines though are not as discounted in family plans so you wont get the same pricing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qwertyaas:
Data is discounted on all lines on my plan. Text and Voice are only on the main line.

Yes, I noticed my spelling mistake, How DO* I flash a ROM.

UPDATE: I just now learned that you cannot flash a ROM without root. As we all know, root is currently unachievable with the OTA Froyo update, but I did not know you needed root in order to flash a ROM. I flashed the Stock .3 Froyo ROM in recovery mode from the UNrooted stock 2.1 ROM, so I figured it was the same. I hope this helps out others as it has helped me!

How do I flash a custom ROM, and which ROM should I choose?

Yes, I've searched, but I've found no tutorial made after August 3rd, when the OTA Froyo update came about.

I am currently running Stock Froyo (.6), I know I cannot root this (yet), and I'm not sure where to begin...

I have basic knowledge in recovery mode, but dont know if I need to flash a ROM AND a kernel, radios, etc...

I just want root because I am tired of not being able to install multiple apps from the Market without it.

This is what I want in the ROM:

-Root

-Froyo

-Full Camera Support (8MP, 720p Rear, 1.3MP Front)

-4G

-Market

-Full Sense

-Wifi N wouldn't hurt

-No Cap FPS wouldn't hurt

-Full HDMi and HID support wouldn't hurt

-No custom boot animation (I know I can't get too picky here) would be awesome

I pretty much just want a Rooted stock Froyo ROM if you catch my drift.

I've seen Nief's Rom comparison chart (https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Aguc0npJCrWxdEFyU2NRNG1jNnRkY2trdXBsYlJLdWc&hl=en#gid=0)

and EVio 2 Sense v1.1 is looking like my best bet?

As far as how to flash a ROM, I don't need screenshots...I'm very computer literate, I just haven't flashed an android ROM before. Something like this would be more than adequate:

1. Download ROM (zip file)

2. Copy to the root of SD card

3. Hold Key1+Key2 upon boot to boot into recovery mode

4. Select Blah

5. Select Blah

6. Select Blah

7. Wait Blah minutes

8. Blah!

This would be greatly appreciated, and I know others could also use this information.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nenn:
not trying to beat a dead horse, but if youre running ota .6, you cant root, there is no where to begin.

The more popular roms will have everything you want. Im currently running EViO 1.0.2 (i think) and i have most of what your list requires. Sense + HID dont go together, so thats out. Wifi N sure why not, im not sure if its built into the kernel that im using.

But I digress, you cant root yet, therefore you cant flash roms. When the time comes where you can root, there will be a very indepth tutoral on how.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kylelerner:

That is terrible! I didn't know you needed root in order to flash a new ROM!

Solution for 5%/h drain standby problem

I had 5%/h battery drain in StandBy, but I believe I found the solution (it is working for me).

(a "small" copy of my another post)

Solution (need confimation), found somewhere on xda-forum

1. Battery calibration (not sure if this task was really necessery)

2. Charge battery to fulll (green led light expected)

- on WinMo till green led, turn off the phone (shutdown winmo)

- on phone turned off (till green led)

3. boot WinMo and Android

- then remove /data/system/batterystats.bin

Use this commands from Android Terminal (free).

3. Restart Android

- in that moment

I had expected 1%/h drain already

- use battery till it become almost (~10%) empty (just use the phone as usualy).

Thats all. :-)

Propably, after many android switches (new distribution tests) the battery stats was broken - collected partially in different Android instances (on memory card).

Then finally,

after 1 week with 5%/h battery drain

problem in standby

I have 1%/h in standby again

.

I think it is standard drain in haret.exe version.

In the same conditions with windows mobile I'd usually of lost about six percent so there is still quite a large difference. however I am using froyostone version one as my daily os and its manageable, listening to music and using 3g rather frequently and it lasts me the day.
