[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pmart317:
Hey everyone, all the sudden I get a yellow twirl burst on my phone every time i slide to unlock on my captivate. I think it is slowing my home screen down because I try to slide to a different screen and i have to wait until its done? Thanks Let me know!

updated: Its a yellow sun thing that moves for like a second and then a white thing that flashes real quick along the bottom. It is hard to explain but was wondering if anyone knew how to turn it off
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
Sounds like some 3rd party app - I don't know of anything on the stock OS that does this.

What have you installed on your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pmart317:
The third party apps that it could be is beautiful widget, or weather toggle widget. Not sure about anything else, but I don't know if there was any other recent update on an application??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildkarrde21:
It's probably Beautiful Widgets, as it has an option to animate upon unlock. Try turning that off.

Hi I want to use the wireless tether on my Galaxy S.

It seems like Wireless tether is the only software that turns off wifi then turns back on automatically after the tether (unlike Barnacle)

so it wanted to try it out.

but It looks like I can't get it working.

it says it's running but my IPAD can't detect its signal at all.

could someone please help me on this issue?

thanks

[Droid Incredible General] jdmba:
Honestly

Honestly no one knows. There is considerable debate around the issue. It is unfortunate that S-ON has not been released largely because so many of these phones go bad on the hardware level (mostly Radio and Speaker). I certainly hope that unrEVOked decides to release S-On.

In the mean time, if you do return the phone to Verizon, can you please let us know if they refuse to honor the warranty? (It could take a month, as it would likely be a charge to your account). I am hoping that the debate will end once a few people report back (and I am holding off running S-OFF until they release S-ON for this very reason).

Thanks

First, I apologize, I've never even seen the q/a section...ever. Glad to know I can go there. The reason I've been posting them here is because all I've ever seen in the general section is a bunch of random questions. I was just following suit with the rest of the herd.

I never claimed to know anything about phones or even about forum etiquette. Contributing? I do what I can to help. If I can't, I don't.

[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
So I'm pretty sure Sprint owed me a $100 rebate...I bought my Evo for $300 plus tax ($45), and Sprint granted me a $70 renewal credit for reupping my previous SERO line for another 2 years (afterwards I switched plans when I bought the Evo).

So I get my rebate check in the mail today, and instead of the $100 my check was for $250!

I remember reading that Sprint has done this before, sent people $250 instead of the $100, but I sure as hell am not complaining. My net payment for the phone is $25!
[EVO 4G General] btedeski:
Dang, my rebate came today also, but it was only $100.
[EVO 4G General] toenail78:
bought my phone the day of the release but barely sent me rebate in last week.. damn i should have just took care of it that same day.. guess ill continue to wait
[EVO 4G General] smarcin:
OP, when did you send in your rebate papers?
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I got my phone the 30th of June, I think I sent my rebate in around a week or so later.
[EVO 4G General] Minjin:
So you're going to notify them that they overpaid or at least find out what happened, right? Or are you just going to stick it to them because they're a big corporation?
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
hahaha thats funny, give the money back, lol

It's one thing to commit some kind of fraud but keeping money they send you is not sticking it to them, it's letting them stick it to themselves..

If sprint was my mom then I'd give the money back.

Sprint should be more responsible with their money

[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
So you are thief. Good to know. It doesn't matter if it was your Mom or Sprint. Wrong is wrong.
[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I have no qualms taking the money. The alternative? Talking to customer service for hours, potentially waiting weeks for another rebate...

This is not the first I've heard of sprint doing this, even my friend received two rebates for the same submission before. Either they're not paid enough to do their jobs right, or they're downright incompetent. To be honest, sprints random incompetence in this case and their ability to still provide great service despite this keeps me as a customer, believer it or not.

When I first signed up for sprint I was supposed to get $100 in referrals...i didn't get them but enjoyed my service from sprint anyways...and still referred people.

The mistake is not my fault, I don't know anyone who would take the headache if trying to correct it over cashing the check
[EVO 4G General] guitarjockey:
Last year when I was working for sprint I upgraded my phone to the blackberry tour and sent in my rebate. I paid 300 for the device and renewed my contract. I got my rebate a month later and it was for 300 dollars. I got my phone for free and my coworker who did the same upgrade got his rebate for 100.

I checked with someone at sprint since I worked there and they told me to keep it. So right now I'm waiting for my next rebate right now and I am interested to see if I get another cool MIR. The last one helped me buy my laptop and if the do it again the next one will help me pay for my wedding.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Ha, it's actually funny you call me a thief for this.

I called Sprint yesterday to report a gameloft game that was mistakenly charged to my account 6 times, instead of once. The charge looked like a single $29.94 charge and I told them $4.99 of it was legit but they took the whole $30 off anyways.. Then they offered me a $70 rebate to reset my contract to begin yesterday, and I was VERY clear about maintaining my Dec first upgrade :D

THEN they ship a free airrave for a line on my account thats used in a rural area, and waive the mir for it AND removed the spending limit on my account..

Despite all that: Yes, I would let Sprint mistakenly send me money and keep it, especially when (as nhutpham mentioned) the alternative is likely spending another hour or two of my life on the phone with Sprint's courteous but incompetent CS.
[EVO 4G General] dmc971989:
lol @ you dude, just because he isnt going to send them the money back doesnt make him a thief...

if i found $20 on the ground, and I kept it... does that make me a thief? no

but it would bring my "morals" into question
[EVO 4G General] DomSim:
sprint error in your favor, collect 150 dollars
[EVO 4G General] bigreg:
I got my rebate last week from Sprint for $100. A few days before that, I got my $100 Visa Gift card from Bluefish (corporate discount package deal). So my total true cost for the EVO was only $99. Well worth it!
[EVO 4G General] mntbkr:
Sprint doesn't feel bad about taking an extra $10 a month from you, do they? Why should he feel bad about taking the check.
[EVO 4G General] redrazr7791:
Don't get another thread locked or deleted because of that. When are people going to let that die? No one forced you to buy the damn phone!

[EVO 4G General] thetakara:
I bet if Sprint was to overcharge your bill, you'd complain.
[EVO 4G General] berkmanmd:
are you kidding me? you knew full well that the evo would cost an extra $10/month compared to other smart phone plans and you bought it anyway.

you can't possibly compare the $10 fee and keeping money that is not yours.

the fact of the matter is that they paid you too much money by accident...if you keep it and can sleep just fine at night, that's your call.

i would give the money back. do what you gotta do...
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Shut the **** up. Stop hating because if it were you I betyou'd keep the money. It's different if you were at a store and the clerk gave you more money than they were supposed to.

[EVO 4G General] ChrisDos:
Wrong. I would call Sprint. I have over paid a delivery guy by accidently including a $50 bill when I thought it was a five. I figured out my problem within 15 minutes and called the resturaunt and told them what happened. The driver lied and I was out $45.

Some people have better morals then others. So I know which category you fall in.
[EVO 4G General] nebenezer:
Uh oh, watch what you say everyone, looks like he's making a list!

ps. Your mistake, just like it was Sprint's mistake. Be more responsible with your money..
[EVO 4G General] Zabalba:
With all this morality talk, I wonder if sprint did not intend to give you more money back and you would return it, Do you have your phone rooted?

I mean both HTC and Sprint obviously do not like the idea of doing whatever you want on your phone that you "paid" for.

[EVO 4G General] nhutpham:
I can surely understand the argument against cashing this check, as I do believe in morals.

Earlier this year, I found a Gucci purse sitting on a gas pump that the person before me had left there. It belonged to a 21 year old girl that lived a few miles away. I drove it to her house only to be greeted by a very suspicious father who barely said thank you to me. My gf at the time told me the purse was worth at least $700. Why the moral high ground in this case? It just feels different, and the way you go about it is also different.

While I understand that I'm getting money I didn't earn, I can't say I feel bad about it. Companies have rebate programs because they take advantage of consumers who are not competent enough to do them correctly or send them in on time.

Sprint has done this in the past, and even though we all pay them money every month, they don't make the corrections so they don't feel its important enough to fix. It would not be hard to not send anyone a $250 rebate. It's not even listed on the available rebates for any phone.

Again, I have to say that it would be a hassle to fix and do right by them. In the end, whoever I call probably won't be able to do anything. I'm sure the rebate company is separate from their customer service, I could wait weeks for a new check or I could voluntarily take a $150 chunk out of my statement. They may even tell me to just keep the check, but I'm not wasting my time find out.

You're honestly telling me you wouldn't cash the check? It's like someone rooting, getting free wireless tethering, and asking Sprint if they can pay them an extra $30 a month. Even the customer service rep might think you're crazy.
[EVO 4G General] mntbkr:
Dude your barking up the wrong tree, as a matter of fact I have not even received my rebate check. Shortly after posting here I checked on the status of the rebate it showed denied. I had to call them to fix the situation. I am not a new customer of Sprint, I have service with them for the past 10 years and I use to work for this little company called Sprint telecenters that use to outsource to other companies. In 1999 when Sprint PCS came on board they took over Sprint Telecenter. I was there from the beginning when they would mysteriously loose rebates and people where stuck with out getting their money back. Sprint has a history of mishandling rebates and they have even gone to court for it. I left the company in 2003 but have kept my service I have not complaints about their service, but I don't feel bad If the OP got the incorrect rebate amount.
[EVO 4G General] Fusionr300zx:
loll why would you give money back to sprint that they gave you? that's retarded. use it for your bills =].

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] drjim:
I've tried just about every reasonably rated run/bike app on my Aria (Endomondo and RunKeeper seem to be the best) and always have the same problem.

I start them before a run/ride, but shortly after I begin, my screen turns off and the app seems to close. It actually is still running (when I press and hold the Home button, the app appears), but when I reopen it, my current run/ride has terminated.

Has anyone else had this problem? Is there a way to keep the app going when my screen turns off?

Thanks in advance.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] unteagle:
i use runkeeper and dont ever have that problem, the screen normally stays on the entire time unless i manually lock it or change screens

[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] oahceasgnikgneas:
I also use runkeeper without any problems (running Liberated Beta 5). I start the application/activity, lock the screen, and it runs without fail either in the background or as the primary running application.

Are you using some kind of automated task killer or battery saving application? That is the only thing I can think of that would explain the closing of the app when your screen shuts off.

[Desire General] tzabary:
Hello everyone,

I've decided to purchase a brand HTC Desire (based Android 2.1), and I've got couple of questions.

- How hard is it to upgrade to Android 2.2 (Officialy) ?

- Why do I need to root my device and why the other ROMs considered better than HTC's default ?

- What is radio upgrade ?

- What are the risks of rooting & upgrading it ?

I know its a lot of question, but it will give me a closer about buying it.

Thanks a lot :)
[Desire General] EddyOS:
1. If you buy an EU Desire chances are it will already be on 2.2 (unless 2nd hand)

2. Rooting allows you to install custom ROMs with the bloatware that the stock ROM comes with removed so you can have it with just the apps you want on it

3. Radio update is what tells Android how to communicate with the hardware

4. Rooting WILL invalidate your warranty but if you have a generic Desire you can flash it back to stock easily

I have the .93 bootloader.

Can someone tell me how to mount nand and make it writeable with the ADB shell commands?

Or other advice?

i tried using the .76 bootloader then nand restore, but it won't restore 2.2. It gets stuck on the boot restore. It will restore everything else though. But then i get boot loops.

So I need to unlock nand with ADb commands.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] regaw_leinad:
You cant root the stock build when you don't have everything stock on your phone. You are not eligible to try and root it considering you already have an unlocked hboot. If you used Unrevoked Forever on your previously rooted 2.1 EVO, s-off stays even when you RUU, and you could just flash anything from hboot. That's not an option for people who don't have an unlocked bootloader, aka everyone who bought the phone w/ 2.2 already.
