[Vibrant Android Development] ttabbal:
I tried this kernel, it does boot but my existing lagfix scripts don't work with it, so I lose all my data. No big deal to fix from recovery, just revert to stock before messing with it if you want to test it. As mentioned, no real advantage either way, but it's nice to have options. :)

If there is interest, I'll fix my lagfix scripts to run on this kernel. Reverting back to JAC OVv4 works without hassle via clockwork.
[General Questions and Answers] polefighter:
I am using Astro File Manager on Droid and my .APK files do not have a thumbnail attached to them any more. I tried uninstalling & reinstalling but nothing seems to help. I have verified that the "Show Thumbnails" is checked also. I am not rooted and running Froyo, would I have to reinstall Froya? Is there a fix for this?
[General Questions and Answers] Mr.Obvious:
Sounds like you might have to delete the file and then reinstall it and see if Astro will pick it back up. I had this issue when I did the manual update with 2.2 FRG01B for some reason but just deleted it and then reinstalled and it picked everything back up... now using FRG22D and no issues once so ever.

Cheers
[General Questions and Answers] njgheewala:
I am having the same issue but its on my G2 and its stock ROM not rooted. I have astro 2.5.2 from market and it does not create thumbnail for .apk files although it does create thumbnail for pictures and stuff.

I see you say to delete "the" file, I don't know what you mean by that? Do you mean delete all the apk files and put it back in from my back up in the PC? or delete something else?

Please help because this is working fine on my Vibrant and they are the same files that are in the G2 now.

thanks!

I have a MAC. I'm using VM Fusion on with Windows XP for the virtual machine.

I want to go I9000 (sick of app limitations and ATT in general).

I cannot for the life of me get the Samsung USB drivers to work on my Windows side of the MAC. I've tried install, re-install over and over. I've tried, and have, both versions of the Samsung drivers that are out there.

I have the ODIN program and all the stuff needed to get the i9000 on my phone.

My phone goes to down load mode.

I've been at this 8 HOURS and am about to break a 32" lcd monitor!!!!

Please.... I will take any suggestions on how to get my phone to connect on Windows XP.
[Captivate General] chaosjh:
i'm not sure what the compatability is for emulating windows but i did have problems installing my drivers on my pc (win XP) and my solution was kies from samsung. it automatically installed the drivers for me. it can be found at samsung.com.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Sorry..... a little anxious, frustrated, and well.... you get the point.

Thanks.... I am getting KIES right now....
[Captivate General] chaosjh:
talking like that won't get you help any faster...

edit: yeppers, trust me, i get you.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
:D....

Yes I know.... thx again..

Breath, drink, don't break the monitor, keep trying..... the now 9 hours will pay off!!!
[Captivate General] chaosjh:
lol, did it work for you?
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Downloading now...

Of course the download is taking forever. Normally I can download around 200 MB in a minute or two... this 136 MB file is going at the rate of about 39 KB/sec.. :rolleyes:

Grin and bear it right? Man I hope this works!

Will update this with results.....
[Captivate General] chaosjh:
40k a sec...wow, i'm sorry man...that makes me want a drink now.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Just the kind of day it's been.... I no sooner type the speed of download and hit post.... sure as sh*t the thing has downloaded already.

The Kies installer will open, and the progress bar is indicating the files are extracting and then it just dead ends me....

Gotta play around with it I guess..
[Captivate General] chaosjh:
ever think about dual boot instead of emulating? or maybe in addition to. or can mac's do that? kies installed fine for me, sorry man, idk...

hey i was also thinking about this, how does your setup send the fact that your phone is connected to the emulated xp instead of just iOS? maybe stupid question, but i thought i'd ask
[Captivate General] afsandiego:
im in the same page yesterday when I got my captivate.. im just wondering why go with the I9000 stock firmware(too much hassle) if you can just use the unleash the beast
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Hey that is a great idea, the booting up just the windows side... I've never done it but I think there is a native Mac app called boot camp.

As of now, it seems like the first kies file I downloaded was corrupt. I downloaded again and now it is actually installing the software.

My virtual machine sees the Android phone, and then Windows picks it up but errors it out as an unknown USB device. No matter where I point the XP device to for driver files it won't pick them up.

On the Mac side... it just shows up in Finder once mounted.
[Captivate General] tj88:
Hey OP, I had the same problem as you and I just ended up going the Bootcamp route. For whatever reason VMware Fusion with Win7 does not want to recognize the Captivate. I know its not much help and having to go with bootcamp instead of a VM does kinda suck but the bright side is that you can always open up your bootcamp partition with VMware Fusion while in OSX if you need quick access to Windows.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Kind of topic, but how do you access boot camp with VM Fusion from the Mac OS?

I only use windows for IE, as I visit websites that only work with that browser.

Anyways... sure as sh*t this morning I wake up and get the old xp laptop out, download the Samsung Capitave drivers and instantly hook my phone up.

So.... an entire day wasted on trying to connect my phone to XP virtual machine. Gotta laugh .... right?
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
I just noticed this morning that when I hit the power button the screen only dims now. I swear it used to shut off the display completely before today, and I know for certain that is how it worked on 1.6. This really is annoying, because now when I put it in my pocket the 3 buttons are constantly being depresses and they vibrate, which lights the display again. That coupled with this stupid lock screen that I have to try to open 3-4 times is really making me angry. Maybe it's just me th:mad:ugh.....
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
I'm assuming you upgraded to 2.1?

I remember reading somewhere that someone had a similar issue after upgrading to 2.1 but then they re flashed 2.1 a different way and problem went away.
[Streak 5 General] joshgantt:
Same issue here, it really eats up my battery life, and I do end up pushing those soft keys all-too often... I am on 2.1 and that is definitely when the problem started, I'm going to try reflashing to see if I can eliminate the issue.
[Streak 5 General] fone_fanatic:
try the steps found here on streaksmart.com. She reports that she has no issues when its done that way. I don't have my streak yet but will follow these steps when i get it.
[Streak 5 General] kanej2006:
I had a similar problem before, only the screen would go off and on again and stay on!

Turns out it was an APP that done this.

It is possible an app is causing the problem.
[Streak 5 General] vatk:
Don't leave wifi on when not using and the problem disappears.
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
+1

I've been experimenting with what's been causing this on mine, and I noticed that sometimes wifi will not shut all the way off. It hangs at "Turning off..."

So I tried not letting it sleep with wifi on, I turn it on if I need it, then turn it off (really a big pain in the butt) but went two days with no "no sleep" problems.

Today I tried leaving wifi on all the time, not two hours later it happened.

Since it's not happening to everybody, I wonder if it has something to do with our wifi setups. Maybe the router brand, or the encryption type, or something?
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
Last night I powered off the phone before better. I have wifi on all the time and I never shut it off. Today though, I have had no issues with the sleep function. It's still mid afternoon so we'll see if it continues this way. If so I will explore the wifi solution as well.
[Streak 5 General] bhyde:
I was having this problem and somehow this setting was wrong:

SETTINGS>>APPLICATIONS>>DEVELOPMENT>>STAY AWAKE

mine was checked and we all know what that mean. Check yours to be sure if your not up for flashing again. Just a thought in case you overlooked this...
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
Yes, it means the screen will not time out and go off when it's being charged, but you can still turn it off, and mine wasn't plugged in when I couldn't turn it off.

I don't think this is related to what I've been seeing, but thanks.
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
It seems that Bluetooth did it today. I was fine all day going black on sleep with power button, but once I switched on wireless to connect to my car stereo it never went off again. Even if I turn off the wireless I have to shut down and reboot.
[Streak 5 General] petesbodyparts:
Same here. Started car and it showed zero signal strength for the phone on the dashboard display. Pressed the power button on the Dell Streak and the car display then displayed the signal strength. From then on, the screen would dim but not shut off.

Pete
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
Was your wifi also enabled (even if not connected to any AP's) when this happened?
[Streak 5 General] petesbodyparts:
Yes, and I couldn't turn it off once the "screen dim bug" took hold. Today I've rebooted and left Bluetooth OFF and Wireless ON and have not had an issue all day long, and that's making calls, using 3G, wireless and running a pile of apps. I think I can live with no Bluetooth until the next release.

Pete
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
I don't think it's BT. I think it's wifi not recovering properly from sleep mode.
[Streak 5 General] petesbodyparts:
Fair call. However, I've now had BT off for 6 hours and I'm using 3G, wireless and USB transfers and it hasn't hiccuped yet. This is the longest I've had with no screen dim bug.

I did notice that when I walked out to the car, the Streak could still "see" my home wireless network, then starting the car and the BT pairing and connecting is when the screen dim bug came back.

Maybe it's when both are run at the same time and both are connected/paired?
[Streak 5 General] rebel146:
I agree its looks like its a wifi issue. I always keep my bluetooth off and it still did it.

I got mine fixed... but the problem is i did a bunch of steps and now cant figure out which one actually fixed it. its been running great for 12hrs now.
[Streak 5 General] a042349:
What I did, since I noticed that wifi sometimes didn't sleep or wake itself up properly all the time (which i think is what's affecting our Streak sleeping), was turn off the wifi sleep. In other words when my device shuts off wifi stays active.

However, I then used "Tasker" from the Market and setup two profiles. When the screen goes off it shuts off 3G, wifi and autosync. Then when the screen comes on it turns on 3g/wifi, waits 20 secs and enables autosync (which then initiates a mail/calendar/contacts sync).

This has worked perfectly, and I get mad good battery life to boot. Now this means I don't get mail/updates (facebook, weather, etc - still get calls and txts obviously) but for me it's not a big deal especially for the battery life.

I may eventually setup more Tasker events to duplicate "Juice Defender" and poll every half hour (3G only, when screen is off only) to get my updates, but for now it's been working great.

I also setup profiles so if I'm not where I have wifi pairings it shuts down wifi. Also if it detects I'm connected via wifi (at home for instance) it disables my lock screen. I also have it set to only start GPS for apps that need it (Maps, Navigation, Places, etc) and that helps save battery too.

Tasker is an awesome app for $3.99. It has a steep learning curve, but there are enough walk-throughs available to teach you how to do the basics.
[Streak 5 General] petesbodyparts:
Found the fix on Modaco. Have a look at the last page of the thread called "2.1 Bugs ....., Add what you find please....."

I never knew there was an "Advanced" menu for WiFi! :)
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
yeah that is not it. I also have mine set to never time out so does that mean it will never shut off either? Anyway, it keeps happening through the day. Wifi and bluetooth do seem to have something to do with it, but I need them both on all the time so the only thing I can do is reboot. Then it is good for a couple hours. Are the any apps that have a reboot? That's one thing I miss on the iPhone.
[Streak 5 General] almostinsane:
I have bluetooth turned off and only use wifi and have the screen dim problem once or twice a day.
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
Well, just used the advanced wifi settings method from Madaco we'll see......................................
[Streak 5 General] jnovello:
OK, so now the screen shuts off but I have to manually reconnect to use wifi. Every time I turn it on it says connection failed tap to retry.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] thebigbluecheez:
I'm just wondering whether anyone else is as frustrated as I am with the YouTube app included on the captivate. I always click on "more" and change it to "watch in high quality" whenever I pull up a video.

Is there some sort of workaround that could fix this? And by fix of course I mean change the app to always pull videos down in high quality.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] jhernand1102:
You can flash the JH2 or JH3 ROM and it has a HQ button right on the front so it is an easy 1 click to load the HQ video, Or you can connect to a wireless connection and it will always load the HQ version..
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
I installed the default Youtube app from the Droid X or something that allows for you to set the high quality setting as default and includes the HQ button on the screen as well. Been working fine for me; but as always, buyer beware. :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nammyczc:
question, did you delete the original youtube app before installing this?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] thebigbluecheez:
I'm leaning toward this option of installing another version of youtube. I'm rooted, and running Titanium backup and have used droid explorer and all. I would also like to know whether I need to uninstall the default youtube, because I've backed up and deleted the AT&T apps as recommended in another thread, but I haven't seen or tried reinstalling something once uninstalling using titanium backup. (Is that a paid version benefit?)

I don't really like the idea of flashing my rom just yet. I've had the phone about a month now, and am still a little jumpy with my new toy. Maybe in 6 months I'll be running cyanogenmod or something, but not just yet.

As far as connecting to a wireless network or just telling it every time to download in HQ, my problem is this: I'm not always near wi-fi, and it seems really hypocritical of the nation's fastest 3g network purveyors to make us watch underwater vaseline-glasses youtube videos when their network speeds support HQ viewing.

Thanks for the quick replies! XDA's great!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
I just installed it right without removing the original since I figured it was just like updating the application. I think it prompts you that the older version will be removed and replaced by that one anyways.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] wildkarrde21:
Interesting, I just have the stock Youtube app and whenever I pull up a video and go to Menu, it shows "Watch in Normal Quality," which I assume means I'm already watching in HQ. I don't remember changing anything though...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] tysj:
When you are connected to wifi, it will default to the high quality setting. When you are connected to 3g, however, it will switch to normal/low quality mode. I'm assuming this is the case right now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
sometimes the buttons on the widget don't work properly :T.. and i have JH3 @_@
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Luken10:
Regarding restoring an app after uninstalling it, I have been trying to do the same thing. It seems as if it wont restore simply from a backup. I am running the free version also so maybe it is a paid benefit.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mchimney:
Thanks so much for the download, it's soo nice to have the hq button in plain sight

Thanks

I'm an expat living in Beijing. Picked up my HD2 a few days ago. The guy flashed the following stuff on it:

os version: 5.2.21889 (21889.5.0.87)

manilla version: 2.1.37889.1

rom version: 2.09.531.4 (81280) WWE

rom date: 2/12/10

radio version: 2.08.50.08_2

protocal version: 15.34.50.07U

I cannot get it to browse the net on China Mobile. I've put in the cmnet/cmnet, i've tried cmwap, i've tried every combination of entering them into the username/pass as well. Nothing works.

I've now put on it something called HTC connection setup, which seems to have pre-set up a lot of those fields. Still doesn't work. (and i can't uninstall this one, it seems)

I've installed a program called datacontroller, where I can manually turn on all the types of data. Still doesn't work.

Is there something wrong with the rom that was flashed onto it?

Is anyone in Beijing?

Thanks everyone for your help!
[HD2 General] fpindustries:
by the way

By the way - the phone is not the HTC branded model, but it seems on the startup screen, i can see a sort of t-mobile logo (the brand animation is there, but the words t-mobile are removed).

Also, one strange effect from this rom:

I cannot add new locations in the clock.
[HD2 General] lamensterms:
i had a problem with my data connection on my HD2 the other day, the solution was to make sure you are trying to connect to the right network.

go to comm manager > data connection > advanced tab > select network.

i had to have both option set to "telstra internet" beacuse im in australia, you might just need to set these to the right network selection. though im afraid i cant tell you which is the correct network for your location/network provider.

good luck.
[HD2 General] fpindustries:
solved

actually i went to that screen - and it turned out that out of all the stuff - it was not set to the right network. none of the instructions i found ever mentioned that particular screen. it needed to be set to something like cmnet, but it was set to one other other ones which I'm not using!

thanks!
