That would depend on the specs of the solar cell. But assuming it outputs the proper voltage, you would want to you use a lithium battery and a lithium charging circuit.

Post or pm me a link to the specs on the solar cell and I'll let you know if it is possible to make it work without too much trouble.

A little update on capacity: It has taken the phone from 40% - 63% in 50 minutes.

It looks like there's room to fit 4 batteries in
[Vibrant Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
It is possible to fit four batteries but you cannot wire four AAs in series with this chip. That would provide 6 volts input using alkaline batteries which exceeds the chip's specs. Using rechargeable batteries would provide 4.8 volts which is acceptable but if someone put alkaline in there it would fry the chip.
[Vibrant Accessories] davorb:
Would be nice if you actually gave Lady Ada credit for the design.
[Vibrant Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
Good point. I edited my post and accidentally deleted that. It was in there originally. The design is her's and I do buy the PCB from her. I source the other components from elsewhere.
[Vibrant Accessories] AndiCP:
Hi there!

:confused: erm, ok, let me put it this way: isn't that a lil expensive 30$?

I don't want to be rude but I can buy something like that, professionally built, for 5€ here.

You can also choose if you want one with AA or one with AAA batteries and you can put in 4 of each.

So, I'd suggest to check this out first: Pearl.de

Or simply google for "revolt usb battery".

But if you are into the tin box design or prefer the "gadget/nerdy factor" mentioned earlier, just ignore me! ;)
[Vibrant Accessories] Toysrme257th:
its just ripping off mintyboost. nothing to be excited over...

1) you can buy a VASTLY higher capacity, higher quality chinese lipo; even lipo + solar panel chargers on the internet for LESS than a mintyboost costs.

remember... all your lithium batteries comes from china already & frankly the chinese have far my experience insulating components with tape & hot-glue than a fly-by-night minty booster is.

http://www.dealextreme.com/products.dx/category.400

2) you can make a charger that will actually have the capacity to fully charge nearly any smartphone battery for $20 bucks. Buy a $4 battery case + free shipping on the internet & 4x nimh's and a charger from walmart no real need for mintyboost's circuit board outside of Apple products and a small handful of devices that check the data pins...

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15048

3) sure as hell wouldn't trust someone shoveling out mintyboost kits to do any form of a safe build with lipo's. theyre very dangerous. overcharging, shorting & piercing them generally leads to venting toxic fumes followed by an explosion while over discharging a cell simply destroys it. ontop of which lipos have rather poor lifespans & their maximum SOC suffers from day 1. especially when not stored properly (which these wont be)

using life cells would be better, but make it cost prohibative.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KpUXuEg3fNE

FWIW i have both a 4x nimh pack built off of the deal extreme holder

AND

a high capacity lipo charger built from an old 3S1P 20C 2200mah zippy R/C flight pack stepping down voltage with a spare UBEC. so ya...

You would just need a USB mini > USB micro adapter
[Vibrant Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
I don't read German so I don't know what design they used but with 4 batteries it is most likely using a voltage regulator which wastes tons of electricity through heat. They work but you carry a lot of extra battery power to make up for the heat loss.

Typos and other gibberish courtesy of Swype
[Vibrant Accessories] hockeyrcks9901:
You can call it ripping off minty boost if you want but seeing as they don't assemble kits I'm not sure that is a good description. I also did not claim to design this myself so please don't make statements that aren't true.

Without looking through the entire list of products you posted but again I assume it is using four series cells and a voltage regulator which wastes tons of energy. I'm not sure because I haven't seen the design. Actually, I just found the product, it doesn't even use a voltage regulator so your pushing 6 volts to your phone using it assuming alkaline batteries. Not exactly within specs of a usb device. If you use nimh batteries, then it's only 4.8 volts which may not be good enough. I'm not sure because I haven't tried it.

On the topic of using lipos, any circuit I build would be done with a proper charging and discharge limiting circuit.

Btw, for those who are interested, I went to the post office and had it weighed, it weighs less than two ounces with the tin, so you could calculate shipping with that weight. Shipping supplies will be $1 for a padded envelope. I will edit the original post with the new shipping information and post some estimates to some major cities around the country.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] MrGoodCat:
no way! i requested this exact feature a while ago on android forums but seemed nobody was interested. so i gave up, haha. so stoked to see this, at work right now, but i am def gonna install this when i get home. thank you!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] neotericpiguy:
Awesome find! I like to use my voice search for the search button so I instead mapped camera to the long press menu button.

Is there a way to get this working with optical pad?

Didn't think the whole menu button thing to thoroughly. Going back to Search button.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
Thanks a bunch for the support guys!

I'm not too sure about the optical trackpad sorry man!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] tats_06:
Would people be able to use Root Explorer to copy the file into designated location? I renamed the original file, just to be safe and copied the new one...then rebooted and it disabled all the soft keys...so I am back to the original for now. :)
[Droid Incredible Android Development] touchpro247:
Here's an update.zip for it.

Just install via recovery.

or

Un-install via recovery.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
When I edited the the incrediblec-keypad.kl file to use a long press of the Menu button, the short press of the Menu button stopped working. So, no more menu access.

What am I doing wrong? Thanks.

Code:

key 107 ENDCALL WAKE_DROPPED

key 116 POWER WAKE_DROPPED

key 115 VOLUME_UP WAKE

key 114 VOLUME_DOWN WAKE

key 217 SEARCH WAKE_DROPPED

key 158 BACK WAKE_DROPPED

key 139 CAMERA WAKE_DROPPED

key 102 HOME WAKE_DROPPED
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph2k4:
So, would replacing the key ID with the ID of the optical trackpad button work?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
Good questions guys I wish I could be of some help but I don't know much about this stuff
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fahrenheit:
WOW, this works perfectly! Thanks for posting...I always hated the search button anyway.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Fahrenheit:
Curious, did you edit it in a "unix" editor? If you used something like notepad to change it and save it, it would be saved in the DOS format. I wonder if using something like Textpad to open and save it in UNIX text format would make it work...
[Droid Incredible Android Development] INTREPID-NY:
I used ultraedit - it may have saved it in DOS format. I'll give it another try and make sure it saves as Unix.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] AisforAustin:
Is there a way to make the the search function still work on a short press? When I short press my search button it does nothing but when I long press it brings up the camera...any fix would be great thanks!
[Droid Incredible Android Development] lentm:
if you do that, it may wanna bring up the search menu while you are taking a picture with this button (when camera app is open).
[Droid Incredible Android Development] wj2511:
yes , I think so.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] morph2k4:
Can anyone point me in the right direction of a droid incredible keymap? It doesn't seem that pressing the optical track pad button is mapped to anything easily recognizable in the qwerty.kl file, so I'm not sure how to find the button's ID. I looked in the optical trackpad wake thread, but the only difference I could see between that file and the one on my phone is that key 232 was changed from WAKE to WAKE_DROPPED, which I imagine wouldn't change whether the key could wake from sleep or not. I tried using the zip in this thread modified to sub in key 232 (dpad center, seems like maybe thats opti trackpad press) but it did not launch the camera as expected.

As far as I'm concerned, the ideal button mapping would be pressing the opti track pad to launch the camera app, and swiping any direction on the opti track pad to take a picture from within the camera app. First step is to get that button to launch the app, which is preferable to rebinding search, since the opti button isn't used for anything anyways.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] milestonedude2:
im currently trying to remap the short press on my milestone to act as the long press (so i can set it to open quick settings on short press) and then the long press can be set to the search. could anyone point me in the right direction? i know how to remap keys but im having trouble changing the short and long press for my search key.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] KGBxxx:
I like this idea. Hope someone points us in the right direction.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] brian0488:
There is an app in the market called "Button Shortcut" that will allow you to remap the search key to any app you want.

[Droid Incredible Android Development] ACD168:
I installed that app and it didnt work for me is it because i already used the mod?
[Droid Incredible Android Development] P_6:
I posted this a while back when Incredible Rooting was still in its infancy... maybe this is a better time for it.

Having come to Android from Winmo, there were only a very few slight things that I missed. One of them was the functionality in Winmo with the AEButton program. I know that keymaps vary by phone, but I'm surprised someone hasn't come up with something like this for Android.

With AEButton, you could program any keymapped or hardware button to perform a number of tasks, with a single, double, triple or long press. It required a resident program, but for that kind of functionality, it would be worth the performance hit.
[Droid Incredible Android Development] Divine_Madcat:

This is really slick now. I NEVER use the voice search, so something to remap it to something like this is just awesome. Thanks!

"back" softkey remapping

Is there similar code available to remap the "back" key on my Galaxy S captivate?

Not trying to change its function but after installing search2play it somehow disabled both my "back" and search "softkeys". Managed to get the "search" softkey back but the most important one, the "back" softkey is now not working, very annoying. I know the softkey is still active because it blinks when i tap it but it does not do anything, so I'm guessing it has te be re-assigned with the "back" command. Any help is greatly appreciated, trying anything I can before the classic last resort of factory reset.

Hey guys..

Hoping to not get flamed here but I see a lot of ambiguity on the forums about this and was looking for a definitive answer...

I have downloaded and purchased the premium vers of Rom Manager and am running the latest Clockword recovery...

Just wondering why I am now seeing custom ROM's floating around for my Vibrant on XDA and other places but still when I look in the "download roms" section of Rom Manager I still only see a section for "Extras"?

I have yet to see any cutom roms in there available for this phone....

Am I doing something wrong or is the answer "Patience Grasshopper"...?

I am rooted and have applied Ryans Lagfix among other things....

TIA

MODS...Sorry for posting in the wrong forum.... :/

Thanks for the help

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gurcanmerdal:
Hi,

I have a problem with my keyboard too, I've searched the forum but i didn't see the same problem as i have or the solution. My phone's screen turns off when i slide out the keyboard. Actually phone stays on but the light of the screen goes off. when i slide it out i'm able to write something or make calls. when i slide it back, screen keeps itself off and i press the sleep key "2 times"!(screen looks like off but it isn't) to reopen it again. I press the sleep key for the first time to turn the screen actually off, and press it one more time to turn it on again. i did a soft and a hard reset to the phone, didn't solve it. I don't think it is a software problem but i hope it is

img714.imageshack.us/img714/167/70305198.png

These are the photos of the occasion.

The screen keeps itself on until the end of the slide. it turns off then. when I slide it back, i can see the backlight of the screen and the light of the buttons.( i don't think that you would see it on the photo, 3rd photo).

I'm waitin for your help guys, thank you so much.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] l3urton32:
I'm also having this same issue. When I slide the keyboard in it just turns off sometimes. At first I thought it might be a physical issue with the internals of the phone and the sliding impact of the keyboard was causing it to reset, but it doesn't do it all the time for me. I can jam on it and nothing happens sometimes, or other times it resets from a gentle nudge. I am running Energy GTX from August 26 or 28, whatever version that was.

I also have this issue now where my end key is unresponsive. Doesn't. Work. Ever. and that is so freaking annoying. If anyone has any insight here PLEASE share it.

Thank you.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gurcanmerdal:
Wow i just saw your message and suprised. Is that my phone you're using? Because I have that end key problem too. It works when I press too hard. And I have 3rd problem now. I think my phone's microphone is not working. People i'm talking on the phone is always complaning about that they can not hear my voice or it's too low. Now I have three problems:

1. Phone is turning itself off when i slide the keyboard out.

2. End key is not responsive.

3. Microphone is low or its broken..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] jasonbtx:
Maybe reflash your phone to origional rom.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gurcanmerdal:
I was using WM 6.5 without hardspl when the problem occured. then i did hardspl and installed custom roms, i even tried with WM 6.1. It didn't help about any of it. I'm used to not using the keyboard actually, but the problem with microphone is annoying..
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] gattjos:

I have the same problem !!!! Did you manage to resolve because I am sure this is software relatred. I had android on my phone prior to this and fixated that the issue is coming from this
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bluewaterkayak:
Had the same keyboard issues, found that it was a battery issue. when you shut the phone, the battery would loose connection.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
bluewaterkayak,

more info on the loose battery connection.

i have the same problem with sliding the keyboard down and the screen turning off. closing it, pressing the sleep button 2x, turns the phone back on. i can slide the keyboard down just enough and hold it to type out a text, any more and it'll go off.

THIS IS SUPER ANNOYING
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
Bumpski. Really need this fixed.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] DVA4890:
What ever you last installed take it off. If not you might have to go factory restore
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
It's definitely not a software issue. The screen itself somehow gets disconnected when slid up all the way.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] KnightmareCS:
Took it apart and found nothing obvious wrong. Is there something to look at exactly when the slider is at the end of it's travel? The cables seemed fine. The problem only happens at the end of travel.

I cleaned the slider area and pried some contacts down. Nothing. Put it back together and same problem.

Ideas??

I have the same issue. My old VZW TP2 is sitting in a drawer in my house because people kept saying they couldn't hear me on the other end. Also on my new one, when i slide the keyboard in/out sometimes it turns off, not always though. I figured it has to be a hardware issue as well, if i do it slowly nothing happens but if i just slide it open and let the springs kick in, it usually cuts off once it 'snaps' to the end of the sliding path.

[Captivate General] pmpntl:
Purchased my upgrade through wirefly.com online (not via phone).

-upgraded 1 of my family lines (selected Keep existing service plan)

-came from an iphone 3gs w/ Unlimited Data

8/27

-sent me my new captivate

-meanwhile, received a text message on my current iphone that my "new service has been activated"

-data was not inactive on my iphone

-called at&t--they said IMEI #'s was switched to the new Samsung, WTF?!--i don't even have the phone yet.

-ALSO THEY SWITCHED ME TO the 2GB Capped Data plan!!!

-At&t switched my IMEI # back to my current iphone, and switched me back to my existing unlimited Data

8/30

-received new text message that my "new service is active"

-data no worky

-called Wirefly this time--no use--says my iphone didn't have a data plan existing and could not retain existing service plan

-I HATE CALLING INDIA and talking to "Robert from India"

-re-called AT&T; switched back to iphone IMEI and switched back to my unlimited plan

Bottom line: I do not like Wirefly right now... At&t said that if i received and activated my new phone and that wirefly switched me to a capped plan, that i could have stayed with a capped plan, and i would not be able to switch back.

Plus: Wirefly states that if i call AT&T directly, i violate the Terms and Conditions and am subject to pay for the remainder of the phone ~$300. WTF?!:mad:
[Captivate General] saint168:
I had looked into both Wirefly and AmazonWireless. Apparently I would have to switch to the limited data plan if I purchase through them. Moreover, if you have one of the old voice plan that might give you a better deal, you will lost that too and have to select from one of the currently available plans. At the end, I decided to get my Captivate from AT&T. The price at those websites for existing line upgrade is not that much cheaper than AT&T.
[Captivate General] Belaflek:
Same thing here..call up AT&T and ask them to flip you back...they'll push a little but they'll give it back to you ultimatly
[Captivate General] pmpntl:
Had to return 1st phone thru att b/c of random shutdowns...

that price was $199+tax which was ~ $216.xx

Wirefly w/ free shipping and no tax was $119.99

Approx. $100 savings, that is the primary driver... however w/ headaches and such, maybe $100 isn't so bad.

also, you have to keep in mind although wirefly is a 30 day return policy, you really have 14 days to request an RMA #.
