[Captivate General] mesasone:
You know, I browse the Dev section on the Vibrant forums sometimes, and I just really don't see all the dev action that the Vibrant has and Captivate does not. It seems pretty similar (perhaps slight edge to Vibrant) with many mods and hacks being ported back and forth between the two phones.

Also, the Captivate is MUCH sexier than the Vibrant. It's one sleek piece of hardware.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
We are getting our share of dev. I wonder if people associate the vibrant getting cyanogen as us not getting the love?

does any one know an app that will let me watch movies and listen to music off my desktop on my evo. i have tried logmein but i get no sound and video is no good either.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] SilverStone641:
i'm still looking for a solid video solution, but as far as music there are several options:

Homepipe

Orb

AudioGalaxy <--my personal fav
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] freexx89:
I heard so much about AudioGalaxy, would love to try it

I am using Subsonic... it was kinda hard for me to get it set but working great so far

i have noticed with 3rd party and blur widget that switch the gps on and off that (at least on mine) it does not turn on what it turns off.

if you use a widget it will turn off:

use wireless networks

use GPS satellites

enable assisted GPS

but when you turn the GPS back on it only turns on "use GPS satellites".

how do i get it to turn on aGPS as well?
[Droid X General] Maleko48:
I wish my DX did that, lol. As far as I can tell it still suffers from the GPS bug or whatever it is. (Where after the GPS is used, it won't let the phone sleep properly.) Sometimes I get pretty decent battery life, and other times it gets horrible battery life. I've tried using task managers and not using task managers, but still haven't quite decided what the best setup is. All I know is after going from my highly modded G1 to the stock DX (1.5 or 1.6 for the G1 vs 2.1 for the DX) I am still very much in love with the android OS, and the hardware I'm on now compared to the G1 hardware makes me breathe a sigh of relief. :)

As for a solution to your problem, you might be able to try the app Tasker? I am trying to hold off on getting it until 2.2 to see how much the official 2.2 release is going to help my phone, but I may just get it anyways for its other handy uses besides helping conserve battery. From what I understand, power management apps can't directly turn on and off certain functions like you are talking about. They can only bring you to the settings screen or perform similar tasks automatically. I'm wondering if 2.2 addresses things like that myself.
[Captivate General] qwewq11:
Friend just emailed me....the Captivate is now just 1 cent. Not a bad deal, eh?

[Captivate General] Ph8:
This is Amazon, much like WireFly,LetsTak and any other reseller they can price the phone at whatever price theyd like since they make comission off the monthly plans more so than the actual hardware. Theyll take a big hit ($200-$300) on the phone in order to make it back up with the plan.

BTW this is for new contracts only via Amazon, renewals are still $99 and Family is $149.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I just ordered one from Amazon for a penny. So long Sprint and so long samsung moment (blech)
[Captivate General] slim6596:
I ordered mine from Amazon along with 3 other phones on a new family plan with 1400 minutes. Total cost after shipping: $.04.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
makes me feel I made a mistake getting the phone in the first place. Good thing I like the phone.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
Why would you feel like you made a mistake getting the phone if you like it just b/c the price went down? Hell, I paid $175 for mine (Family plan upgrade-secondary line) and I'm still happy with my purchase. I agree that it is annoying to see them offer such good deals for new users and screw over "loyal" customers though...
[Captivate General] :
AT&T charged me $100, they gave me the $100 discount for being a loyal customer. Funny thing is i joined when the iPhone 3G came out.

I tried to get my wife to get it for 1 cent but she insists on getting the EVO, loyal yo sprint.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Loyal enough to pay 240 dollars more over the length of her contract? I've been with Sprint for 5 years and I'm not THAT loyal to them :D
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
To be fair Amazon's a dealer like Wirefly. They make nothing on the sale of phones but get paid on selling the contracts. The Captivate is 99 dollars if you are renewing or adding a line on Amazon. Still a better deal than anywhere else. As a NEW AT&T customer I would have spent $199 on the phone at the AT&T store. I was all about to buy a Vibrant yesterday for 70 bucks on Amazon when I found the penny deal on the Captivate. So here I am.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Difference is, when you buy it from the AT&T store, they cover your warranty for the year - and their warranty is great.

If you buy it anywhere else, you have to deal with Samsung directly unless you get lucky and AT&T ships you a replacement regardless.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
Not so much a mistake, I am happy with my purchase. It's just the price that we pay to get the best in tech before everyone else.

I've never done that before, and used to tout that my motorola karma was pretty much the same thing as a smartphone.

Obviously I had no clue what I was talking about.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Now THAT I dodn't know. Guess I'll be adding insurance.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
It's what I was told from AT&T and when I spoke to Letstalk, Wifefly and so on. But FWIW, people have stated that they just called AT&T and they sent them a replacement - but that could just be a YMMV. I would try to verify as well before you add insurance in case you don't need to.

But for $.01, I'm jealous!
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Amazon has such a great rep that I doubt they'd have entered the Wireless sales business without some assurances from carriers. Wirefly has a shady rep from what I was able to google.
[Captivate General] jaepoori:
i paid full retail cause i wasnt up for upgrade... and thats for two phones too.. -_-. bye 1000
[Captivate General] JPS81:
The thing many of you guys are not realizing is that this price and other similar deals are for completely new accounts only. Upgrades or even new family plan lines will bump up the price to $100-150. Under the circumstances most of the people I know who paid for Captivates, they wouldn't have saved any more money if they had waited, as everyone I know who has a Captivate was already an AT&T customer.

And quite frankly, while the Captivate is a great phone, it's not worth putting up with AT&T over if you're on a good carrier, especially since there is/will be a Galaxy S for all major carriers.
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
This man speaks the truth. Listen to his words. And get him a beer! :D
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
True, but reading through Amazons policy, they only support the phone for 30 days - as do all online retailers besides AT&T itself (they have a full year). Other online retailers pass the warranty to Samsung. But for the period Amazon does cover it - they have great customer service.

I'm not saying that's bad as I never dealt with Samsung for warranty purposes. I just know that AT&T deals with warranty issues very well. But regardless, $.01 for this phone is an amazing deal. The chance of needing a replacement post-30 days might not even occur for you - and if it does - you can always try AT&T for replacement.

With Droid, we can press the key T while booting to enable the diag mode.

Do you guys have that problem too? What's up with that?

I see that like myself, many people are searching for icons to customize their Evo. So, I thought it would be helpful to have a thread specifically for custom made icons and icon sets. So, post 'em up and be sure to give credit where credit is due.

this is my fave KB, hands down.

heading over to the other thread to see what this is all about.

curious? is this flashable? or "pushed"?

EDIT: I see now (and below) that this is a push. @ work, no ADB shell here... looking forward to your flashable. ;-) when you get around to it, no hurry man. and thanks for your work!

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CRUISECONTROL:
I just tried to install this using the instructions, and I must be missing something.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] nightwing878:
You have to push the apk over the default LatinIME.apk in /system/app
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zachslavin:
What do you mean "over"? I've pushed the apk to /system/app and the libjni_latinime.so to /system/lib. Now what?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] zachslavin:
I've even removed the android keyboard all together (so now I have no latinime.apk). Still won't install. Downloaded twice with same result.

Edit: nevermind i fixed it. Had to delete the LatinIME tutorial then reboot. The spacebar doesn't work half the time though. Ahhhhh!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] alan7467:
That's because the Hero screen doesn't support multiple inputs crossing axis. Download a multitouch Visualizer from the market and you'll see what I mean.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] CRUISECONTROL:
Yeah, I've done this a few times now. Whenever I type a few letters now on the default android keyboard now it FCs, though.

edit: Just removed the tutorial and it didn't change anything. Do I need to rename the file included in the OP and completely replace the LatinIME.apk?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] wjason:
I didn't remove the tutorial. I just removed the libjni_latinime.so and the LatinIME.APK, pushed the new files as directed, and rebooted. Sorry I can't be more help.

Keyboard pic attached.

the KB doesnt "look" special, but if you can get it to work, is quite literally the Most Responsive KB i have used on my hero.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] CRUISECONTROL:
This worked, thanks. So yeah, to clarify to get this to work you need to remove LatinIME.apk (and possibly libjni_latinime.so), and then push the new keyboard apk into system/app and the libjni_latinime.so into system/lib. Then reboot. This completely replaces the old android default keyboard and replaces it with this one.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jjjjayd13:
Also Install!

I also had to go to system/app and install(double click) droid keyboard for this to work.

Hope this helps,

[Hero CDMA Android Development] feefeeboomboom:
As said above. Push the files then; rm /system/app/LatinIME.apk reboot and it will work. You don't need to install the apk, that wont work.

could someone please post an update.zip file for this keyboard? every time i install a new nightly for my hero i have to push the files back to my phone in addition to removing the stock keyboard and its quite an annoyance. it would be much appreciated!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] twilk73:
Bump, could we get a zip?

Is it possible just to flash this instead of pushing it? Not sure of the diffrence here sorry.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Nak131:
Here is the flashable zip. Got it from the eris forum found on the first page. It usually flashes fine, but sometimes it doesn't and I don't know why, in which case I just push the files manually (and delete the original LatinIME.apk). Enjoy!
[Hero CDMA Android Development] jxr94:
Is there anyway to get the stock keyboard back in case of issues?
[Hero CDMA Android Development] ItsDon:
Just make a nandroid prior to flashing. If it gives you issues, do a nand restore.

I think I read somewhere that it takes the class 2 only, which is what I have on my current Sandisk 16gb card.

I have been looking at 32gb from Sandisk and they seem to be class 2 only.

However, I saw a Kingston card that says:

Compliant — with the SD Card Association card 2.00 specification (Class 4 & Class 6) and with the SD Card Association card 3.00 specification (Class 10)

Rating	Write Speed SD Class

(Mbit/s)

13×	16.0	2

26×	32.0	4

40×	48.0	6

I would assume faster is to prefer, but will it work?

However, it seems like the snappier card is mainly an improvement if recording or watching Hi-res videos.

Besides, I'm not confident that the post is a legit chip (though poster probably believes so), alternatively that the specs are incorrect. Kingstons site only states 16gb class 10, not a 32gb class 10.

[Desire General] robned:
Hi,

I'm totally new to Android and Desire peaked my interest. I've used WM and HTC as long as I can remember, but I'm fed up with WM...

However, there is an issue I hope to get some light over:

Is there anyway I can use a non-htc headset (I want in-ear) and use the microphone button and get to remotely control the music player on the Desire?

I have connected mine to the one in a store, 1 Click = start / stop music. 2 clicks voice call or similar. There seems to be no "NEXT SONG" feature.

On my HTC Touch HD I've used a tweak program that takes control over the signal from the headset and instead of doing a voice call - it sends info to music player (HTC proprietary). Worked like a charm, even when locked.

So, please, anyone knowing of a way to get around this? Major issue as I don't want to take phone out of pocket everytime I want to skip a tune...

Thanks

[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] heybobitsme:
As everyone has stated, yes you will have to wipe the phone therefore wiping all your apps. You can use a file manager app like Linda or Astro or something like that to back up the apps onto your card. Also if you choose to use a 2.1 based ROM and plan to use apps2sd by adding an ext partition, you'll want to back up the contents of you sd card to your computer as that will reformat the card. After flashing a rooted ROM, I suggest downloading Titanium Backup and getting the donate version (through the app itself) for one click app install.
