As a first time Android device owner who likes to tinker, I search/read MANY forums. This sub-forum is THE pinnacle of learning for me. This place has the top tier crazy-smart code monkeys who are generous enough to take their time and share their knowledge all while asking for very little or nothing.

Suggestion for all my co-noobs: Support these people! Make the little suggested donations. Without them we would have slower, and much less (fun)ctional phones. And we would also probably still be frustrated contributors to the empires of Bill & Steve.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
I wish i could report these posts without actually having to open and read them...
[Vibrant General] Zemnexx:
I'm with you.

Why this thread is most likely in the wrong place. I'm with you. The community around here is great. Most of the threads are really well detailed and most people here are very generous and willing to help others. For a first time Android owner like myself who came in with no knowledge whatsoever, this forum help me get my phone just the way I want it within just a couple of days. I really want to say thanks as well.
[Vibrant General] watcher64:
Report it? That is a little HARSH ....

Maybe suggest to the OP that he request it be moved to general .....

to the OP, I do agree with you, the devs here are great, most do it for fun and respect but the occasional donation could not hurt ......
[Vibrant General] sombionix:
Moving it to general now. But thumbs up on the post! Developers do take a lot of their free time to provide us with nice modifications.
[Vibrant General] junkdruggler:
reporting is harsh... unfortunately we only have one mod, who happened to be on the ball tonight.. (+1 sombionix)..

Ill do whatever I can do to help keep this section clean.. this is how I was told I could contribute....
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Whiner counterpoint.

Really? A guy stops to express appreciation and urge others to donate to the developers and this is your response? You cry like a little *****?

Wahhh! I wanna report him! Wahhh!

All that because you felt my thanks was posted in the wrong place???? The devs were who I wanted to thank, so that's where I addressed it, period. There was really no need for you to send the ship into Warp 7 Drama Queen Mode.

I've read about a hundred+ of your posts. I know you're a big contributor & like I said, I'm grateful for the education where I am lacking it. So let me return the favor and educate you in an area where you are lacking:

Act like a man and have some class.

Don't be some arrogant little punk. Treat people the same way you would if you were face to face, as opposed to safely ensconsed in the wired, anonymous rapture of your mommie's basement.

Get some freakin' balls dude.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmaccamr:
I'm aware of the issues associated with CM6 RC3, but when I installed 6.0.1 today, I booted, the touchscreen was non-responsive, but the scroll wheel allowed me to reboot.

Initially, I forgot to install the stock htc kernel over the hydrakernel I had for Sense (#2), so I put that on. When I rebooted, my screen was responsive, but I noticed a lot of page tearing, and my "SD Card is damaged. May require a format" or some such nonsense.

I'd like to try CyanogenMod but thats a major issue to me. I followed the wiki guide to a T, so its not like it could have been install issue. I reverted to Virtuous 2.2 for the time being, so I find it hard to believe my SD card is damaged, especially since Virtuous doesn't come up with the error.

Any thoughts or ideas that could fix this? Anyone experience similar issues? Thanks in advance.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aaronjb:
You should be using the CM6 kernel only. I'd guess that's the source of your woes.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derickmc:
@rmaccr

Only use the kernal that comes with the rom. CM6 is very picky when it comes to custom kernals. I tried to flash hydra and kingx kernals and no go. Just use the original kernal and u should be good.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.d:
Make sure you're wiping data/factory reset and wiping the cache partition in Recovery before you install a different ROM.

There's also an alternate kernal you can flash if the stock CM6 kernel is giving you problems - search the RC3 thread to find it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmaccamr:
Thank you for all of your feedback. I'll have to do some thread searching to find that kernel. I assumed that may be the issue.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whewstoosae:
Just reflash the rom and it will include the kernel. Just make sure you have set cpu or some other app to underclock your processor if need be. It's clocked at 1.15 and that gives my phone a bootlooping and crashing party.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bippy_b:
Its not the SDCard that requires formatting. It is the internal phone storage. If you view it via Astro, it should appear ok.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bippy_b:
I thought 6.01 was clocked to normal speed and if you wanted the overclocking you just get 6.0 instead.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.d:
I think that 6.0.1 is defaulted to 1GHz, but you can o/c it if you want to with SetCPU or similar.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blakestiffler:
The kernel that comes with cm6.0.1 is already great. i get the best battery life i have ever had on my incredible. It can be overclocked to 1.15ghz
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whewstoosae:
When I downloaded it defaulted to 1.15 so I guess YMMV.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
Slow down and read everything over a bit better.

Hydra and King usually state somewhere SPECIFICALLY that they DON'T work with/support CM6. You don't need to find any kernel, just WIPE your device properly ( wipe data/cache/dalvik) before you flash it. Once flashed don't try any kernels.

Also understand there are known issues with it. One is that BT music streaming doesn't work at all. The other is that the OS doesn't scan the built in 8gb of memory. The third one is that you may experience a random reboot or suddenly get a black screen and unresponsive phone when using wifi. It may happen in 30 minutes, it may take 12 hours. It may not happen at all. It's not even close perfect yet.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ChuckG73:
The only issue I have seen so far is random reboots and yesterday when I booted up my Phone all my widgets were brown boxes and said they were not compatible, a reboot fixed that.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroidBruce:
When you mount your phone via usb mass storage it is mounting more than just the /sdcard/ and /emmc/(internal storage)

It is mounting /data/ and /system

If you're running Windows it will ask you to format these partition's b/c it cannot read them. Do not format them because you will then have issues mounting those partitions and you would have to RUU/PB31IMG.zip

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ardax:
Gah, that's still happening with 6.0.1? I was hoping that would be fixed since the official source drop from HTC.

I'd really like to give an AOSP ROM a good run on my Inc, but that's a deal killer for me.

Thanks for the heads up though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ncwildcat:
I have had NO reboots at all since putting 6.0.1 on 2 days ago - and I connect to Wifi at least 50% of the time. Today, I moved toward overclocking, but for the past 2 days I have been running stock speed
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jratzo:
I was also fine for over a day. Then today I have had to lockups, where the screen was black and only a bat pull fixed it plus one random reboot.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seanmcd72:
Exactly what I experienced. I went half a day with it seeming perfect, then out of the blue I pick up the phone and it's just off and nothing I do will get it to come on. It's either pull the battery or wait several minutes and suddenly it finally reboots on it's own. It doesn't happen to everyone, but it happens to enough people to say it is a definite unresolved issue. It's very good otherwise, as soon as these little issues are cleared up It will be the ROM for me.

hello guys i wana share something i dont know if u guys already know or not . today i was using my wifes htc desire i had regular headphones with no mic on it. so when i recieve the call i answered it and she could hear me and i could hear her . so i used the headphones and phones mic i think thats located on bottom and it worked flawlessly and i tried it on my xperia x10 it didnt work howcome? they r both android
[XPERIA X10 General] iead1:
The operating system has nothing to do with it... it's more of a hardware issue. The sound proccessing unit of the X10 may not be able to output via headphones and input via on-board mic at the same time.
[XPERIA X10 General] r_theboss:
This is dum!!!

I wish they fix ghis problem
[XPERIA X10 General] yetep:
Why? What kind of mental plays through the headphones and speaks through the phone?

Just speak through either.. but remember your microphone cable that came with the phone.. and your fine :-)
[XPERIA X10 General] misfit41:
The sound quality on the x10 isn't all that great, and the mic does pick up a lot of garbage

So I had my phone running just fine, with Unleash the beast, then I went into Android system recovery mode, whiped all user data and cache data. Now when I boot up, it starts from a clean install, except I'm getting non-stop errors saying Sorry whatever has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again. Then Force close, and they keep popping up one after another.

How can I properly restart from scratch and reinstall everything?

Thanks! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
Two things, please read the stickies before asking questions or at least do a search and please learn that this does NOT belong in development. This is Q&A or general at beast.

I tried using the Odin3 Downloader. I installed the USB drivers, plugged in the microUSB cable, opened Odin3, entered Download mode, and clicked Start. Nothing happens, all it says is "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)"
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
are you using the generic Odin3 tool that has a bunch of horizontal white squares across the top with several buttons along the bottom right that say things like "PIT", "PDA", "PHONE", "CSC"? if so, this is the basic Odin3 tool that can be used with whatever firmware you'd like (seriously read more before using it) as opposed to the one-click downloader I linked to which should just be two vertical rows of white boxes with only "START" and "MASTER CLEAR" buttons
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Make sure you follow the steps in the order they are in. Also, you can try to uninstall and reinstalling the drivers, I've had to do this with Odin, it is picky about the drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] Tehwall:
I am reading. It's the one click downloader, I installed the USB drivers, removed the SIM and battery, plugged in the phone, entered download mode, and clicked Start, all it says is "<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)".

It doesn't do anything which is what I'm having trouble with.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
When you plug in the phone, does the computer make that "HEY NEW HARDWARE" sound? also, are you in download mode?

always open Odin before plugging in the phone... when you do, does the output box (where you see the <OSM> line) say something like <Added !!>?
[Captivate Android Development] Tehwall:
Before it didn't say <ADDED> or anything.

I stopped using the one-click downloader as it doesn't work for me. Instead I used Odin3, installed the JM5 firmware.

PDA: I9000XWJM5

PHONE: I897UCJF6

CSC: I9000SERJM1

Now to install Unleash the Beast and Lag Fix.

What firmware should I flash to go back to the stock AT&T Captivate ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
umm JM5 is an i9000 ROM, unleash the beast is incompatible. Because of how the firmware works, your phone should essentially be treated as an i9000 and you should be looking in that forum on how to root and other things

ok so, if i go into the MANIFEST.MF file in notepad, and just change the

Name: system/resource/customize/VZW_bootanimation.zip

then save as MANIFEST.MF and rezip everything do you think pwoplw would be able to then flash a custom boot animations to their phone using Clockwork etc...

or MUST it be pushed via ADB? this thought just crossed my mind and was curious if anyone would think it might work before i go ahead and try to install the zip.

i guess i could just go back to a nandroid from 2 mins ago if it does not work and kills my boot. lemmie know your thoughts.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krelvinaz:
You can copy it to your SDcard and move it there with Root explorer if you are rooted.

Don't like the sound, move or delete the mp3 that came with the distro (I prefer to move it).

Reboot and unless what you put there is broken it will work. If it is not valid, it simply won't show up, but won't stop your phone from booting.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bilichjl:
Is there any way to install a boot animation on 2.2 without pushing through ADB?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] taihard:
Which Rom are you running? and yes, you can do it with Root Explorer, that's how I did it. :D ... I am running Sky Raider 3.0 RC3 sense so all i didn't was use root explorer to copy the bootanimation.zip from my sd card to /system/media and I also wanted a cool matrix sound to go with the matrix animation I am using so I just put a mp3 (and renamed it android_audio.mp3) in the same folder
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeek:
so everything is all fine then the battery starts to die after 5-6hrs of doing nothing. very light facebook, maybe a text or two, checking emails.

news and weather widget, pure calendar, battstatt are my only widgets

so i try and unclog all the un-needed apps, nothing.

then it started turning off when using maps or the browser. off, not rebooting either.

then the last issue was last night, shut off downloading from the market. so i turned it back on, hung at G1 screen forever, did nothing, multiple reboots, nothing. re-flashed cyan 5.0.7 without wiping, same result. so i wiped and started fresh, fixed the issue but the phone kept shutting off at different times during the booting. i happened to plug in the usb cable and it turned right on that time.

sidenote, it was wiped fresh, so my battery life is longer now.

butttt....... now anything will make the phone turn off. foursquare, browser, market, maps, facebook. when rebooting it seems 99% of the time it wont turn on unless the usb cable is plugged in and into wall/computer.

the last time it shut off at work today i happened to notice the light blick telling me the battery was 0-10% before it turned on (only time it turned on without usb cable in). once on the battery was showing 87%, was on the charger all day before this happened, 100%

had the battery out just now, reads 3.98V

was turning on the phone as i typed that, made it all the way on and showing lockscreen, then it turned off again.

im really confused. ive been looking into a bigger battery or maybe a new phone, but id like it to work until i decide
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Ace42:
Let me ask you 2 things

-How long have you had the phone?

-Ok,now how long has it been since it came out?

over time batteries lose their capacity, you should get a new battery but even that one wont have its "max" capacity..you cant expect the battery to perform like new, but you can try wiping batt stats, then let it die, recharge till green then conntinue to do power cycles.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xeek:
yea ive had it since it came out, same battery

i have recalibrated a few times, never helps

Thanks
[G1 Accessories] Robbietussin:
I recently bought a Seidio Innocell 1400 battery for my G1. For some reason, the battery won't charge while it's in the phone.

If I take it out of the phone and charge it in my desk cradle, it works just fine and fully charges in a few hours. It will easily last twice as long as my worn out original OEM battery, as long as I don't connect the phone to a charger.

Here's the weird part. Not only can I not charge the battery while it's in the phone, but it actually drains significantly faster when I connect the charger. Without the charger connected, it will last me all day with moderate use. If the charger is connected when this battery is in the phone, it will drain the battery from a full charge to the point where the phone shuts off in a little more than an hour. I don't know how this is even possible.

My phone works and charges just fine with my OEM battery installed. I've tried several different chargers, which all work when I'm using the oem battery and had the same results, so I know the charger isn't the problem. I had the same problem with the Andida batteries a while back, but figured they were just defective when I saw that everyone else was having problems with them too. Does anyone have any ideas, or did I just get another defective battery?
[G1 Accessories] revwillie:
I have an "Andida" from ebay that does this. I got a partial refund from the seller. I think the overcharge protection circuit is flaky when this happens. Try to get a refund or replacement from the seller.

/system/bin/sensorserver_yamaha aka the magnetic sensor is always running when the phone screen is on (its off when screen is off) and using like 5% of cpu, even when no task requires the magnetic sensor to be used.

ive no idea how to change this behavior, so that either the daemon only polls when the sensor is actually used, or the daemon started only when the sensor is going to be used .. something that wouldnt require making an app that does "on off" of the service

About a week ago I updated my post-911 fix Rogers HTC Dream to Cyanogenmod 4. It ran quite slowly, obviously, but it was much better than having Android 1.5 apps and a useless "smartphone". After just recently reading about Froyo and Cyanogenmod 6 I decided that the apparently streamlined update would be a good idea. I heard it was significantly faster. And then the trouble started.

I updated my recovery image to RA-dream-v1.7.0R (R because as I understand it the post-911 fix is EB1I) because the wiki said the cm recovery had troubles with CM6. After looking over the appropriate information that said I did have DangerSPL (fastboot says RADIO-3.22.26.17, and HBOOT-1.33.2005) and so on, I continued. I downloaded CM6 and the appropriate Google Apps package, moved them to the root directory of the SD Card, installed the zips (CM6 first) with Amon_RA and restarted the phone.

When I did so, the phone would not boot past the Rogers logo (which formerly appeared before the HTC and Cyanogen boot screens). After about 15 minutes I had to pull the battery. I went back into the recovery and enabled USB mass storage, when I looked at the SD Card it was completely empty.

Yeah.

So, I've put CM5 and CM6 as well as their corresponding Google Apps packages on the sdcard.

If I haven't bricked my (already useless Rogers Wireless 1.5 and not updating) phone, what should I do next?

Thanks for any help.
