[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
the ones from that topic are perfectly safe

i'm actually planning to order an extra batch :D

I got to at least 2 battery a day, basically 1 pack for AM, another pack for PM

i'm a super heavy user, all features always ON (including the GPS tracking) just in case i lose my phone, i can do a quick check on google to see where i dropped it at.

right now i'm using 4 batteries

2x original G7 that came with SGS phone box

2x G7 from that topic

all of them run for the same amount of time, they all charge, and they do not over heat when fully charged, it's actually cold

so the charger that comes in that package have the IC safety chip included to prevent over charge as it stops charging when the battery is full

else the battery will get hot... that's how "bad" (bad chargers causes) battery to explodes

Yeah I better buy some ebay batteries. I've never had a serious problem with them in the past. If they start bulging, take them out and run the hell away. :p
[Vibrant General] ger.ard:
I searched around the board and could not find anything on this so I hope someone can help. Due to circumstances beyond my control (errr...job loss) I am thinking of moving to a MVNO (Simple Mobile) that uses T-Mobile for my Vibrant. What I am concerned about is getting the GPS fix once it is available. Does anyone know if I will still get it from OTA with the MVNO since they are still using T-Mobile? Or once it is released if I could pop in a T-Mobile prepaid SIM and get it via wifi as long as I will be using T-Mobile? I know that in the future with CM or other mods I will be able to move to Android 2.2 but right now I am hoping for a fix for the GPS issue. I have tried the other GPS fixes and they have not quite done it.

Thank you for any input!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kreiger1981:
Basically, i'll get a notification saying I have new e-mail (number of new e-mails is random), so i'll slide down the notification bar, click the e-mail notification and it takes me to my inbox... where I have no new e-mails.

I've tried refreshing the inbox to see if it was seeing e-mails not in the inbox yet somehow, and that didn't do it. The only thing I can think of is that my gmail account has an [Imap]/Trash Folder now that has 36 unread messages, and those are the e-mails I deleted without reading (Spam mostly). Is that what's triggering it?

It seems to be the same number of e-mails I received recently, so I think it's sending duplicate notices. Example: I'll receive 4 emails, 2 from a friend of mine, one from a newsletter I read an another spam. I'll read 3, delete the 4th unread, close the mailbox and then 5 minutes later i'll get a notification saying I have between 1 and 4 new e-mails, whereupon i'll check my inbox and there's nothing there.

Anybody know what's going on? I'm using the default captivate mail app to check my e-mail, not the google e-mail app. The google one never gives me this issue. (two different gmail accounts linked to the two different apps so I know which one mail is coming from)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gtg465x:
Mine does this too. It's not random though. Whenever I delete an email and it's sent to my trash folder I will receive a new email notification shortly after. If I delete 3 emails, I will receive a notification for 3 new emails the next time it syncs with the server.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kreiger1981:
So how do we stop it? Stop using the default e-mail app?

Are there other/better e-mail apps out there?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sledutah:
I had the same kind problems with mine, it was also slow sometimes while downloading messages.

The gmail app is good if your using gmail. If not I've had good luck with MailDroid. There are other email apps in the market you can try.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thindery:
had same problem. this fixed it for me:

from home screen

settings buttong > select settings

Hit applications > manage applications

hit settings button > filter > select all

find "GMAIL" and "Gmail Storage"

For each one, click and do the "clear data" and "clear cache"

let me know if that helps
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexEscape:
I figured out why this is happening. I recently went back to the native email app (because Yahoo! Mail for Android is brown poop, and MailDroid's ads can get annoying -- plus it's only push email...I don't like seeing I have 4 new emails, for example, and each time I tap on each item, it downloads just that email through the internet. I want my emails to be downloaded all at once, ready to be viewed. I digress...)

Anyway, the native email app shows you have X (false) new emails when you delete X number of emails because it downloads a number of (older) emails after it syncs, after you had deleted some new ones. In other words, you delete 3 newer emails, it downloads 3 older emails. Scroll down and you will see those 3 at the very bottom as "unread" even though they're old. Annoying.

Is there a way to fix this, perhaps tell the email app to not download emails older than 3 days, for example?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RexEscape:
Here's a work around though. This is what I did. I use Yahoo! Mail* and I have thousands and thousands of emails in my Inbox. This might work for your corporate emails too.

1. Create a new folder on Yahoo! (or your corporate email client) called Inbox2 (or whatever).

2. Move all of the messages from the Inbox to that new folder.

3. Sync (Refresh) the email app on your device.

4. Your device will begin "move" the current emails away and will eventually show zero emails.

You'll be starting fresh. Each time you get a new email and you delete the email from your device, the app will have nothing to download and it won't show false notifications. If you decide to keep an email, it'll stay. When you get a new email that you decide to delete, still, the app won't have any older emails to download -and- it won't show any false notifications. It's a workaround. Hope this helps.

*I'd like to add. I've enabled POP3 on my Yahoo! Account and I'm using the native email app as pop 3. I have all of my emails downloaded as they come in. So when I'm in an elevator or in a poor 3G area, I have all of my emails (in its entirety) downloaded ready to be view without fetching for the rest of the messages.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
I am using the email client for Exchange and POP3 and I don't have this problem, so maybe it is specific to something the server is doing. Gmail app works fine too for my Gmail account.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Morfie:
I tried what you suggested but unfortunately it doesn't work.

I think the problem of the false notifications occurs, cause the email client synchronises each folder (inbox, spam, trash etc.) separately. So when we get a new mail which goes to our inbox, we get a notification and then we go to our inbox and we find it there. When we delete an email, we move it from inbox to the trash folder. So the client synchronises the trash forder and sents a notification that we have a new mail. Then we go to our inbox but we see no mail, cause it's in the trash folder. The same occurs with spam. When we receive a spam mail, it is directly sent to the spam folder. So we get the notification of a new mail, but when we go to our inbox we find nothing.

That's the only way i can explain the false email notifications and i can't find a way to solve this annoying problem. If anyone can help would be much appreciated.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] morechoff:
Happens to me too. Must be a bug. It only happens with IMAP and not Exchange mail. If you delete emails it will download older ones and do the notification.

The only official tool for updating is Kies. However if you want to load arbitrary firmware you can use Odin (which is a leaked Samsung tool) or Heimdall (a custom flashing tool developed by myself) once it's been tested that is, it's in a public alpha at the moment.

I wanted to rewrite file framework-res.apk (file contains frame images) in \system\framework with changed one but I had deleted this file firstly and my phone bricked then. Is there any way I can fix it ? Or can I install the systen again??

I can only see my phone in avd when reboot now..

Boot into AmonRA recovery, flash a ROM from the "flash zip" menu, then boot your phone, realise you are not bricked, and thank the lord :p

you've not bricked it. Remember how you first flashed a custom ROM? Do that again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
So I've had bad experiences with phone hacks in the past, namely bricking my iphone thinking I could jailbreak it only to spend the weekend learning that "oh sure it can be jailbroken, if you meet criteria A,B,C,D,A1,G4, Alpha 3, Section 12 subset 15 paragraph 9" etc etc.

Point is, I'm scarred for life now and really dont want to be doing a bunch of seemingly innocent rom flashing, only to find out because I missed the reply on page 192 of 568 that I needed version .18.1 instead of .18 and now my phone is now yet another glorious paperweight.

Youtube videos seem to indicate that you just copy an android build to your SD card and launch. I come here and theres 500 threads with 20 different builds and each build is tied to a certain radio which is tied to a certain rom which requires these 3 applications first and bla bla bla.

I want froyo 2.2 on my HD2. I dont want robotic voices. I want bluetooth and media player to work and stream to my car. I want functioning youtube. I dont want a sluggish piece of junk that is impossible to navigate. I want my 3G HSPDA connection to run as good as it does on WinMo, and I would like to be able to tether.

Is this a painless enough process? Or am I gonna go through 10 different downloads and hours of flashing and reflashing to probably ultimately end back up on WinMo to get **** done?

I mean if none of the android builds are really ready for primetime and are more or less for goofing around with then I wont bother. Im not in the mood to experiment, I still need a phone I can rely on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] playadamas:
I'll try to make it simple for you, having done all of the above:

1. don't do it yet (unless you are ready for some frustration)

2. touch screen unresponsive some of the time (infrequent to frequently), but I am fine with it personally

3. to guarantee problem free, you need to redo your WinMo ROM to the same as the one used by the android ROM chef, I did and it worked fine (before it did not and I got robot voice)

4. if you are ok with #1, 2, 3 then YES, all you have to do is copy the files to the SD card and boot away, you will not lose anything on the WinMo side

Hope it helps!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
Wow were do I start.

Based on the fact that you have no info about your phone whats so ever I will assume you have a tmo us phone with atleast 2.08 radio.

Your radio will be ok if thats the case. As far as windows mobile rom its of personal choice. I've tried chuckydroid Ive tried Miri's 17 and always reverted back to a june version of energyrom that worked well for me.

The rom's and radio's you choose my help or hurt your call quality and battery life. Other than that they pretty much are just a big launcher.

Most builds you must place the folder called android In the root of the sdcard.

From there if you plan to manually run haret(the program that starts the linux kernal)

You must first selec clrad.exe( which will show no signs that it worked)

then select Haret.exe and the kernal will boot show a bunch of text then android should load.

If you should run into any problems please use the search function as not everyone has the same problem.

As far as the Iwants this is probably not ideal for you we are really just beta testers and if it works for us then it works. I didnt have robotic voices ever but I sounded like i was in a wind tunnel.

I Had sod's but I do not have them anymore My lock screen usually works every else is really hit or miss depending on the build you use.

You will have to do some searching on your own and it doesnt really sound like you are prepared.

This is the main thread that started it all It has the must info about the kernals

which is where most features are added.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] RunNgun42:
Well I guess my biggest confusion is, why are there so many different builds? I had the impression there was really only 1 dev team porting the actual android OS. Are the other builds just people monkeying with their work to get other features functional? I see things like "energyrom" and other "x-rom" names but dont know why I should choose one over the other.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sike222:
I think hazard99 hit the nail on the head. If you are not prepared to do the leg work then i would say just wait for a fully functional, fully flashable android port. Pick the one you want, whether it be the rom the desire uses, one with sense, one without or the newest android rom at that time.

I was adamant i would use android but have been rather unimpressed and other than not getting wifi to work (and i understand there is a workaround for that as well) it has all worked for me? So i have switched back to my glorious energy rom and will await a final build (maybe gingerbread)

So in summation maybe you should wait also?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] polo735:
Read as much as you can. Anything that says sticky or ref are most important. There is more risk with flashing radios and roms so be delicate with that. At this time android builds cannot brick your phone but they can be a little buggy as development is in progress.

Good luck
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] hazard99:
What dcordes and cotulla and the guys are doing is creating a working kernal for the hd2. The builds are just are just brought over from other devices.

You have to look though all the info. You cant be told pick this one and it will be golden.

I rock shubcraft because cyanogen is the man and I believe its smooth. Darkstones with be my second fav.

So with putting some different roms together with different OC kernels, and testing the overclock settings here's what i've got;

Teamfenix 1.7.1 (not 1.8)

OC kernel 768 CM espresso 2.3

or

Tester 960 kernel set at about 787.2

i'm using a task killer as well ( i dont care what anyone says... with eclair or froyo, task killers do help speed and numbers as long as you kill the right things. )

So after flashing these 2 options, pick your choice between the two kernels, i personally like the 768, its got great speed, great battery life, and don't have to worry about breaking SU.

so search for those, download them and heres some proofs of numbers about what you're looking to get.
