In the setting of the Messaging app hot menu then click setting scroll down to the notifications section. Uncheck the checkbox that says Notifications. I did it when I tried Handcent.

Hi All,

I'm not sure whether this has been posted before, but whilst browsing the web today, i came across the website where i got my i9000 SGS from and it now states they are selling the Captivate (AT&T version) and Vibrant (T-mobile) galaxy S's.

They ship worldwide too I think, so if anyone is interested: www.mobicity.com.au

and vibrant link: http://www.mobicity.com.au/samsung-vibrant-galaxy-s-16gb.html

and Captivate: http://www.mobicity.com.au/samsung-i9000-galaxy-s-nextg.html

Both have their respective US carrier branding though.

If i knew that they would sell these, I would've waited a couple more months to get the Captivate :P
[Galaxy S I9000 General] larryccf:
WHY??

BOTH those models lack the front facing camera and the FM radio!
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
Mobicity sells everything (thats where I got my mobile), but it would be silly to buy phones which are more locked down
[Galaxy S I9000 General] chookmeister69:
I imagine he wanted the Captivate because it works on Next G (Telstra) 850mhz frequency. A lot of people in Australia live in areas where Telstra has better coverage than Optus. The international version doesn't work with 3G on Telstra but works on all the other networks that use 900/2100Mhz 3G
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
most USA resident will prefer the Canada Vibrant over their own localized and crippled version of Captive/Vibrant
[Galaxy S I9000 General] andrewluecke:
In Australia we don't have a crippled version at the moment.. Telstra are getting their own version anyway though:

http://www.samsung.com/au/smartphone/news/news_2010-06-24_article-itnews.html

So, with the GPS fix "unsure" (I believe it will be fixed honestly, but I don't have proof), it might be worth waiting for the Telstra version anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] MomijiTMO:
Nice price on the Vibrant. I've bought a couple of phones from Mobicity.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
My phone is just rebooting to the Fresh boot animation over and over again. Here is what I've done.

I did a full wipe (3 times), cleared storage in recovery, wiped dalvik cache, pulled the battery, fastboot, wipe cache partition, wipe data/factory reset in recovery and nothing works. I'm using Clockwork Recovery v2.5.0.1 and I rooted via this method for mac:

http://forum.androidcentral.com/htc-evo-4g-roms-hacks/17766-how-full-root-evo-4g-mac.html

I'm pretty sure half the **** I did was not necessary but I had to try something. Any ideas on what to do next?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Usually clearing cache/dalvik works... And you've wiped everything else... Have you checked the MD5 of your ZIP that you're flashing from? Or tried a different ROM?

Furthermore, have you just let the phone sit for a bit? The first boot after wiping cache can take quite a while.

EDIT: Also, did you do NAND unlock/eng hboot when you rooted? ;)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
I never did a nand backup. What would happen if I nand backup while having these problems? How do I check MD5?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Philosuffer:
I'm a bit confused at what you're trying to do here...but maybe this will help.

Factory reset/data wipe does not wipe your /system/ which is where most/all of the core files are stored for any ROM.

You could trying doing a logcat from adb to maybe get a better idea on what is causing the bootloop.

Or a broader approach would be to just flash Fresh again and it will overwrite anything in /system/ and whatever files, or lack thereof, that are causing the bootloop issue will be added/overwritten.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drmacinyasha:
Well doing a Nandroid backup of a broken ROM won't do you any good. ;)

As for MD5, you should be able to open adb shell, then use the "md5sum" command to get the MD5 of the file. For example:

adb shell
md5sum /sdcard/some_rom.zip

You can then compare the MD5 it outputs with the MD5 posted by the ROM maker. If they haven't posted an MD5, you might want to re-think about using that ROM, and the competence of its creator. For example, CM6 Nightly has the MD5 posted in a text file in the same directory as all the ROM zip files for flashing. Amon RA Recovery has the MD5 posted in the OP of the thread, etc.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
What I'm trying to do is get my phone to work again. Here's what happened:

I downloaded this Rosie Clear Taskbar zip file that I found in the Themes section and flashed it. It looked horrible and was showing distorted so I figured I'll just reset my whole phone and get rid of it. Well it didn't work and it put me in a boot loop. I have no idea how to do a logcat and I'm pretty much new at this unless you post instructions I can adb with my mac. I need my phone today because it's my daughters birthday and people are going to be calling me left and right for details on the party. My phone just keeps rebooting at the Fresh boot. I can enter recovery just fine:

Is there a command I can do in adb while in recovery to make it ''safe boot''? How do I flash Fresh again?

Is re-flashing the ROM as easy as me taking the downloaded Fresh Rom.zip, placing it on my SD and flashing from recovery? I don't want to experiment and possibly mess everything up. Thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
It's that easy

Yes, it's that easy.

I'm not a big fan of how Clockwork wipes, I prefer Amon_RA, where you know you are wiping dalvik cache. Still if you are reinstalling Fresh 3.1.0.2 do a complete wipe.

Once you have your phone operating, immedaitley make a nand back up, or in Clockwork a nandriod. You can then always have a working base to go back to if something isn't playing nice.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheBiles:
When Clockwork wipes data it deletes the entire folder, which happens to contain the cache and dalvik folders. There's absolutely nothing wrong with that.

And OP, you might want to wait for Fresh 3.2. Just came out for donators today. I'm using it right now.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Apparently in my case it isn't as easy as flashing from the zip. I downloaded the ROM from geekme and put it on my SD card. Flashed it and even though it was successful I still get boot loop. Could it be because I accidentally did a nand backup of the problem?

What else could I do. I'm using Clockwork but is there a way to flash the other recovery through ADB even though my phone won't boot.

I can't take this to Sprint as it's rooted and showing the Fresh boot screen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pdaddy:
I had the same problem. Turns out I had the wrong kernel flashed from a previous rom. I had constant reboots, couldnt access my sd card, and the usb quit working. I had to ship it back to Asurion. Just got my new one back.

Bottom line:

MAKE SURE YOU HAVE THE RIGHT KERNEL BEFORE YOU FLASH A NEW ROM!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jim M:
SD Card

Do you have another memory card that you could use? Try putting a copy of a rooted stock ROM on it and try to install that.

I am having to return my phone for warranty. I had the mighty rom on the phone. Well i ran the hard spl and than the phone shut off. well when the phone came back on it never went past the original white initial htc screen. I tried to get it to the tri-color screen by holding volume down and the send/end key and it would go to the tri-color screen for a sec than ask me if i want to restore the phone if so press volume up well i did it. and than the phone restarted and still cant get past the HTC initial white screen and you can see all the red lettering come up. and it just sits there forever until i pull the battery out. Plus when i have it connect to my pc and active sync open it does nothing does not connect to active sync i tried to run the MR2 upgdate to take it back to stock rom and well i get an error message to check cable connection because it is not sync with active sync..
[Touch Pro2 CDMA] info[]box1:
i would flash from the sd card. extract the .nbh file from a rom of your choice. named it (rhodimg) insert the sd, then place the device in bootloader mode. that should recover your device system.

hope this help...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lozzy0603:
Hi All,

I have an HTC HD2 with the stock O2 UK rom installed.

I have an old WM app designed for WM2002. The app works great with WM6.5 but the HTC Sense virtual keyboard is screwing it up, its too big for the space that the origional microsoft keyboard used to take up.

Is there any way to get the origonal/legacy keyboard option back? In Input settings it seens only the Sense keyboard is available.

(As we speak, firing up the battery of the old Prophet just to use this app. :cool:)

Many thanks!

I searched all over, but it seems like I'm the only one who wants this.

Right now I have cookie home tab installed and it looks great. Got some nice anastasia icons. But they're all too small.

I know they have to be smallish to fit 16 of them on the screen, but there's so much unused air between them. They are very detailed icons and would look sooo much nicer if they were 20-30% larger. Maybe even touching.

So what's the fix? I found a quicklinks.scale entry in the registry settings for cookie's home tab, but it doesn't do anything. Can I somehow change it through cfc-gui?

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemethb:
Ever since I got the phone I noticed the battery meter was off. The way I see it the bar should represent nearly any % of the total capacity. Well, I don't know if this is the case and I was wondering if anyone else has input. I've been using the phone Status to find the actual % of the battery to actually judge how much juice is left. Often times I'll find the battery reading at 80% or maybe even less and the battery meter shows full. Anyone else having similar problems? Is there a fix or does the bar only show approximate values at certain increments (i.e. 25%, 50%, etc.)?

im about to take the leap to upgrade to the captivate from my tilt 2 running froyo... ive been debating between really the captivate and iphone 4. i was looking at the dell streak and waiting for the thunder but i think ive decided. please post your great experience with the phone and what you would recommend!

i'm happy, i wish it was an htc device as they have always been very solid and i love the sense ui, but with launcher pro and some tweaks this is great! i def reccomend over an iphone 4! the customization is just crazy! i can customize this more than my old blackberry, and i thought that was really good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonsudra:
I say make the switch, I came from a tilt 2 as well running froyo and haven't looked back. People complain about lag on the captivate but I feel like they have never used a touch pro or touch pro 2. My biggest concern was the lack of a physical keyboard due to having trouble typing on friend's iPhones but the screen is big enough that I prefer having a slimmer phone instead of a keyboard.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] toawkanavngthded:
thanks for ur response! were u able to keep ur unlimited data plan or did u have to switch? i was reading that when texting, the keyboard takes a lot of room on the screen? hard to believe since the screen is big as it is.... and true bout coming from a touch pro/touch pro 2 bout lag... im sure its super quick! my touch pro 2 lags all the time and cant wait to see how a true smartphone should run!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonsudra:
We get grandfathered into the unlimited plan. The keyboard does take up about half the screen when typing but I see that as a positive cause I have big hands.

Plus it's nice to finally have a phone with a 3.5mm headphone Jack. Also the app market is awesome and there are a ton of great games if you are into that.

Now we just gotta wait patiently til froyo gets officially released but to be honest I am happy with 2.1 so far, not that I don't want 2.2.

I love it. My boss has an iphone 4 and will be giving it to his son and buying a captivate. The only real difference IMO, is the captivates lack of a front facing camera.

Yes, GPS is kinda wonky, but I'm sure(as well as everyone else) that the Froyo update will fix it.

As far as your data plan is concerned..If you have unlimited data now, and you don't change it from unlimited, then you'll be grandfathered in and want lose it.

The best phone out right now

I came from a iPhone 3G and it's super slow compared to the Captivate, I think the iPhone 4 is kinda slow IMO.

I do miss how easy it is to get content onto your phone through itunes, but it's a trade off. With my iPhone everything was in one place waiting for me, but I had to wait to get to my rig to put anything on it. With my Captivate I have the option to wait or download right to my phone from the internet. Also you always have album art on the iPhone, on the Captivate you have to work a little harder and still end up with a blurry mess.

No lag here, traded my first day Captivate for a post launch and it runs fine, GPS and all.

AT&T sucks what they try to push on us but that's why we're in this forum, so we can do what we want. As far as HSUPA I've read this might actually be to prevent some problems the Galaxy S line has with HSUPA enabled. But even so I'm sure the death star was more than happy to give their precious iPhone an edge.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robstunner:
i LOVE the captivate, but i have yet to use it as my primary phone for more than a few hours at a time. The GPS is worthless (i do alot of biking and like to log my trips) and the HSUPA issue it just aggravating. My iPhone uploads at 10x faster than this phone does (and my old nexus one for that reason) but i pay the same amount for data on all three phones. Totally ludicrous. Until those few features are rectified by the Geniuses over at Samsung, or the very great and helpful people here, i will continue to leave it sitting around the house as a toy, and not as a phone. I guess i just dont have the confidence in Samsung in firmware updates like i would HTC, Motorola, even Apple!

just a rant. Other than that, this phone is amazing. If i did it again i would hold off until those are fixed.

Go AT&T. Ma Bell is notorious for for shady bait n switches but this isn't the device's fault.

Correct. It's been confirmed that the Captivate running a Vibrant kernel with a Euro modem.bin can achieve hsupa speeds. Again, AT&T tactics.

At least we have XDA.. Think how held back the performance of this device would be without XDA.
