No, no cancellation. Do you get the feedback when plugged into the charger and stereo or just the stereo. Never got it on my old fuze but do get it on the wifes 3g and my captivate. Only happens when we have the phone plugged in to charge. Pitch gets louder as the rpms get higher.

Sent from my captivate
[Captivate General] Clienterror:
The cappy just has noise cancellation circuitry but it works really good. I was in a club on a friday night with some friends and my girlfriend called me and she could clearly hear me talk over the loud music. She said she could also hear the music but she could hear me without any strain and I wasn't yelling into the phone or anything..

Mine survived a good beating, but a few days ago I dropped it from the top of my stairs to a tile floor below, glass didn't break but the lcd inside was cracked to bits. Glad I actually got the insurance this time

This dude managed to break his Gorilla Glass dell streak like the first day he got it rofl.

[Captivate General] Bjd223:
Does Gorilla glass even protect against the glass from breaking? I thought it just protected against scratches, etc.

From the video he was saying it was indestructable...which glass obviously is not. I have heard that Samsung is testing some kind of super hard plastic for the OLED screens so they can bend a little.
[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Im thinking of taking off the screen protector, if it is indeed gorilla glass or similar, but my first captivate got 2 small tiny scratches on it and it really pissed me off. I got a bodyguardz on it now.
[Captivate General] coldbeverage:
Can you link to the specific bodyguards item? Thanks
[Captivate General] Phytrax:
Actually Gorilla glass is more resistant to breaking than regular glass, not scratching. However, most screens are a type of plastic, maybe acrylic or polycarbonate. Any type of glass is MUCH more scratch resistant than these plastics. I've read that the edges are still vulnerable so a silicone case or something similar should help a lot. I'm really enjoying the feel of the glass so I think i'm gonna skip on the screen protector.
[Captivate General] nickbarbs:
I've got strange discoloration in the upper right corner of my captivate - not on the screen itself, but on the glass to the right of the ATT logo. Seems really aparent when I run my finger over, looks like the upper right of the screen is lighter, and its really apparent when there is finger oil or in sunlight.

Anyone see the upper right of their captivate screen, some sort of lighter discoloration? Not sure if I somehow messed with that part of the glass but it seems a perfect oval.

This probably makes no sense and i'll try to take a picture.
[Captivate General] Terrigno:
When your a company that makes high end products, you dont have to advertise it. The people should already "know" lol. Software might not be that good right now, but the hardware is top notch on this phone.
[Captivate General] nickbarbs:
Ok well we might have a small issue then with the glass. Please refer to my pictures to see what I mean.

Hope that link works for you guys.

Basically my theory is that the anti smudge coating is wearing off quite quickly on the machine. That smudge that you see is right where my leg was rubbing in my pants pockets this weekend while I had 4 days in amsterdam. Walked a LOT with this thing in my pants pocket and noticed just getting back home this strange smudge that wouldnt come off.

Its very apparent most of the time, its not GLARING as you can see by some of the no flash shots I took.. obviously its not great and if you zoom in with my pics you will notice a wearing down pattern.. makes me nervous the coating on this thing isn't built to last. Certainly it didnt last a weekend in amsterdam admittingly my jeans are pretty tight generally (dang europeans!)

Anyways the glass might not scratch but the coating comes off and i'm sure others will see this soon. My friend with a Vibrant has been playing non stop emulators on it and he says there are "holes" on the screen where his virtual buttons are. He freaked out but now figured he'll just wear down the whole screen in the same way anyway.

Obviously in my case its just the top easy to ignore but not great.. just watch out i guess guys. my case is getting to me in a few days - a few days too late LOL it might have been saved had I had the case earlier.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have not seen any mention of a coating on the glass by Samsung or by Corning (if our phones do have Gorilla Glass). The only phone that ever advertised a coating (that i know of) is the iPhone 3GS.

I would just like to see some mention of coatings - kind, purpose, etc. from some official source before i worry about it.
[Captivate General] modum:

It is on all Galaxy S models: Captivate, Vibrant, etc. It is listed on their website.
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
I got a pretty good scratch on my screen the other day somehow. I'm pretty careful with my phone and don't recall anything that could have scratched it but it's there. I wouldn't take your screen protector off... wish I had put one on.
[Captivate General] Paladuck:
Also got a scratch on it even though I baby the phone like crazy.

Don't count on gorilla glass, just get a screen protector.
[Captivate General] AWiseMonkey:
I bought the AT&T branded 3 pack of screen protectors when I picked up my Captivate at the AT&T store. I figured what the heck, it was only $10 and I wanted to make sure to get a protector on there from the start. Hands down the best protectors I have ever used, the cuts are precise and it is so smooth you cant even tell it is there...literally.

They didn't have the AT&T ones for my wifes Aria so I had to get a ZAGG Invisishield from BB, hate those things...they are sticky and your finger doesn't glide smoothly on them. I am going to check back at the AT&T store soon to see if they have them in stock again.
[Captivate General] bubba6800:
I have a broke glass in mine... anyone know where to get a new one...
[Captivate General] z28james:
I actually took my phone to the att store packaged (i got it from amazon) and had them apply a screen protector to it right out of the box. The screen was exposed for only 20 seconds at most, heh. I have no complaints. I cant see or feel that it is there.
[Captivate General] cliffgardner:
My ZAGG screen protector is just now starting to not be so sticky and feels more like the actual screen. Then again, I've had it on since late July. :(

[Galaxy S I9000 General] tuxing:
sure everyone loves the super super-amoled display of our sgs's.

but even in casual usage- not looking under microscope,

i can make out the dots making up every font. small fonts look bad.

and in landscape its even more noticeable.

in the android running on my topaz , i cant make out the dots.

so is it the bigger screen, with poor dpi or an issue specific to amoled?

is dithering off , if so any way to turn it on?

or is it just me/ should i get my eyes etc:D tested?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] sturmeh:
4-inches of nexus 1 res = that.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] bilboa1:
afaik the black dots are a physical limitation so you can't really software fix that

personally i don't have a problem with it, they're noticeable only on very small fonts (its ok on "only pretty damn small" haha)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Mithent:
Unfortunately text is not the Galaxy S' screen's strong point, because it uses a PenTile layout - rather than having red, green and blue (RGB) subpixels to make up each pixel, it has an alternating pattern of RG and BG subpixels, using interpolation to provide proper colours over the full screen resolution. However, while this is fine for graphics, it's not as crisp for text. I was concerned about this before getting the phone; it's livable with though, as I usually hold the phone just far enough away that I don't notice.

There's nothing that can be done about it, because it's hardware, and it's a tradeoff for having the Super AMOLED screen. The Nexus One and Desire, which have (until recently, anyway) AMOLED screens, also use a PenTile matrix.

Android Market

I installed the vending.apk (It was from an X10 Mini Pro with the Market, can't remember the link) file and have the Market working on a rooted X10 mini pro, but it keeps crashing whenever I try to download an app. Also, Market Enabler doesn't seem to work either.

I don't know why Sony Ericsson had to do that to us, just give us the generic Market place like all the HTC devices do...

Ever since I rooted using Unrevoked's method & flashing HTC OTA Froyo 2.2 Deodex RevE.2 with KiNgxKernel #6-BFS I can no longer receive MMS. It shows up but when I hit download it does nothing. Have data wiped, updated profile & prl & reflashed twice but with same results. Wondering if it is the root method messing things up. I ran this same ROM on my other Evo rooted with Toast's method and didn't have a problem. Any suggestions? Or can I use the first part of Unrevoked's method to downgrade to 2.1 & then use Toast's method to root?

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
You can, or since you have root access you can try any other ROM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] klbjr:
Thanks. I've went through my ROM hopping days. I actually like stock Froyo after some of the Sprint bloatware is removed. For me it's the kernel that makes the most difference. That's why I went with this one but I will root again when I get off work & try some different kernel variations to see if I can track down the MMS culprit.

hey guys.

i`d like to ask if there´s an app that allows to use your android phone as gamepad for windows. just like nebudroid, but with multitouch.

some suggestions?
[G1 Apps and Games] supermario12312:
Although personally I cant find anything that allows you to do that, if you just want to use your phone to play emulators on windows or other things, then try using RemoteDroid, but its really only that useful if your phone has a physical keyboard. Its incredibly easy to set-up, took me 3 minutes. :D

I need it to try to configure data with a movile carrier in Mexico, voice and sms are working but not my data plan :(

any ideas?
[Droid 2 General] ccguerrero:
solved

Finally, I figured out how to do it.

Basically is like the Droid, just you dont need to boot the phone pressing the "T" key, what you have to do is put the phone in usb PC mode, and from there is the same as the original Droid. Create a virtual com port and connect with QPST or CDMA WS.

Coming from Sprint and HTC we had leaks galore surrounding the release of 2.1 By the time it was released we had been running it for a couple of months. :D Is Sammy and the Death Star better at containing leaks or have there just not been that many releases?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bjd223:
IF a leak hits it will probably be from samsung-firmwares. They already posted one 2.1 captivate leak and I am sure that as soon as they got a hold of 2.2 they will release it.

If Samsung can actually meet its deadline 2.2 will be out next month. I have also noticed that some of the fimwares leaked from samsung contain the carrier software. If Samsung is doing the carrier modifications for them it should be much quicker to ship than the typical vendor to carrier setup.

Hi,

I'm trying to use my old HTC Touch as a pure PDA and not as a phone, and every time i turn it on it pops up saying sim missing which is driving me insane. Is the way / a registry setting that i can change to disable this in windons mobile 6.1 or 6.5?

Would also love to know how this can be done. I'm going to set up my 'old' HTC Touch2 as a standalone GPS device for my parents.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] ajhvdb:
Not a setting :) but I'm using an old sim card for this. Maybe use a prepaid sim card.
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] Pierreken:
That's indeed one way to do it.

I've been experimenting with the removal of components in the ROM but it seems that as soon as you remove the actual "Phone" components that a lot of issues occur with installation and reboots...

Maybe the only option will be to use a Dummy-Sim card... but I'll try some more :-)

Just turn off phone mode in comm manager. I never get a message that sim is missing when phone's radio is turned off.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
I've been using GV for a couple of months with no problems. However, last week, in an apparently misguided attempt to update to PRI 1.4, I screwed something up. I went into EPST-Data Profile-Menu-Restore to re-run the activation process on the phone. Since then, when I try to enable conditional forwarding via the *28+number code, I get a recording saying the feature is not valid or supported. Sprint says there is nothing wrong on their end, so I figure I screwed something up doing the reactivation.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Thanks in advance!

This is somehow different than just using the link on the GV settings page? I've never had to dial some magic code.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
Thanks for the speedy replies, guys. I should have listed what I've done so far to try to correct it. I've loaded up several different ROMs (CM6, Fresh,AvaLaunch, etc.) with full wipes between each one. I've got the most recent PRL (60670) and have uninstalled/reinstalled several times, all with no effect. The only thing I haven't done is try the re-activation sequence all over again. I suppose I have nothing to lose by doing so, right? :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
When activating the phone on the GV site, I am prompted with this:

Did you not have to do this?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
Sorry for the double post, but I figured it out! Or at least I figured out a workaround. I found this on a Sprint Community forum:

So, instead of doing *28+number to activate both types of forwarding, I did *74+number AND *73+number individually and it works.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Just out of curiosity, did you have Google Voice set to be used for all outgoing calls? Because if you did, that'd explain everything...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
Very good thought! But no, I only use GV for voicemail. I've never used it to make a call.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
I had a similar problem but the issue was that having call forwarding enabled on the phone actually doesn't really change anything on the phone. Once you enable it it is enables on sprints end, thus if you try to enable it again it wont let you because it is already done. Don't know if this is what was up with yours but I'm betting that was the deal. I upgraded my PRI and never had to touch anything calls still went to GV. I know you had it fixed but just thought id post this in case anybody else had the issue.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erikivy:
I agree with your assessment. What puzzled me was that neither the enable code (*28+number) nor the disable code (*38) were recognized as a feature. They both yielded the same "feature not available" recording. I tried them both over and over again with no luck. The *74 and *73, however, worked first time with no issues. I can only conclude it has something to do with Sprint's network in this area. I know they are currently doing upgrades in the area, so maybe it's related to that.
[Vibrant General] peekapoo:
Is there anyway to make picture id size bigger?

This phone has such a beautiful screen, but I feel like I am not utilize it fully whenever I got call and see small picture id on my screen.
[Vibrant General] nMIK-3:
No way to currently resize the caller-id picture and I totally agree with you. The caller-id pic is way small for this device. Hopefully Samsung will realize and provide a bigger size caller-id picture in Froyo update.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
Doubt it will be apart of the froyo update but I also agree that would be better. Maybe we can get a dev to work something out.
[Vibrant General] Emama:
Yes, the picture ID is so small, and it downgrades the photo a lot!!
[Vibrant General] clarkeismine:
One of the reasons it is so small is that the google contacts will resize the image and that is the max size image for a google contacts. Not sure if contacts created and stored locally on the phone (i.e. not created as a google contact) will have a bigger pic.

In the end... Google seriously needs to triple the size of contact images in google contacts on their servers... it makes android seem a bit cheap sometimes.
[Vibrant General] bdveteran18:
I can agree with that.
