[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisk:
I just switched from blackberry (which I used for almost 6 years) and some of my contacts have an extension. For example 14163211234x123. Now every time I make a call it changes the x into a number.

How can I make it so it will only dial the number and wait for the extention?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Travel_Mate:
Well, I've no idea how this is made in Galaxy S, but on my Sony Ericsson I simply insert a "pause" by holding the * key, so the number will look like this 14163211234p123.

Try it!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] farisk:
Found it, have to add a pause symbol ";" to replace the X.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonfyre13:
I know the first one is probably nitpicky. I did just finally get CM6 to the point where it's buttery smooth, faster than EVERYTHING else out there, and works 99% how I want it to. A few things that bother me yet, and I'm hoping someone can help me out. I have read through all (yes, all 700 odd pages) of the CM6 thread here, as well as checked over the cm wiki, the cm snap thread, and even delved into the source for one thing (battery related, different thread). What's left is low hanging fruit that hopefully is just something that's common knowledge that I missed.

Running CM6 final, with GAPPS from 8/17, snap 8.2-850 on a nova 002

Jittery fade on screen off:

This was always described as a "smooth fade" when the screen turned off by my friends. It's much smoother on theirs, but when I turn my screen off, it's like it's only hitting 3 brightness levels before it goes off, and it takes FOREVER to finish the process (1+ seconds) after I've hit the power button. I have disabled setcpu profiles in an attempt to fix, as I've got a screen off profile. No dice.

Settings->Sound crashes every time:

Pretty much just as described. I simply can't enter this part of the settings application. That means no ringtone changes, I've got to use a different app for volume adjustment, etc. etc. Basically, it's a pain. Attached is a logcat excerpt from when I ran logcat via ADB while trying to diagnose myself.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrDSL:
The first question to ask is..Does it do that without the snap kernel?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DomSim:
im running snap kernal and have neither of those issues.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dragonfyre13:
Yes, this happens using snap or stock cm6 kernel. I did want to post that i was using snap to give a clear picture of my current phone conditions though.

[Captivate General] Berserk87:
what didn't you like about the vibrant?
[Captivate General] _Opiate_:
I have both...the only real difference is the feel of the device. Of course there's also the difference in carrier added software but other then that their the same device.
[Captivate General] tytdfn:
Personally the captivate feels better than the rest of the sgs family. He rest feel way too clunky for me.

[Captivate General] ultimahitzu:
I've only held a vibrant once, if I recall correctly..isn't it a bit lighter? It's been a while but I specifically remember telling myself 'Gee, that's pretty light.'
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
The vibrant also had one advantage, the group over at cyanogen actually plans on developing for it...
[Captivate General] LostAlone:
Yeah because cyanogen are famous for only releasing for a tiny share of devices and have no interest in porting even to near totally identical devices. /sarcasm.

You think they'll crack running CM on the totally different processor of the vibrant and then be put off by the odd front facingg camera. Please.

Wherever you get your info you are totally wrong. Cyanogen will be releasing for the whole galaxy line, facilitated by the fact that the different names make almost no difference to the hardware.
[Captivate General] terrigan:
It just takes time. :)
[Captivate General] UberGoat:
I never used or even held the Vibrant but the Captivate looks way better than the Vibrant and the other Galaxy S phones.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
How about those stories about the camera being better on the Vibrant? I always thought that was taken from one review and made into a gospel...
[Captivate General] pongothemagnificent:
Not true, a friend of mine has the vibrant our photos look exacly the same, besides both phones have the exact same camera hardware.
[Captivate General] mrpiggae:
^^^ This.

Guy that I work with every day has a Vibrant, and our photos/videos look the same. I'm not fond of how his phone looks, though, too iPhone-like with the gaudy bezel. The Captivate just looks like pure business to me.
[Captivate General] Dyluck:
Personal opinion, the captivate looks the best of the four sgs phones. Epic... boo;-(

Rooted Capivate Galaxy S
[Captivate General] Main Target:
Captivate certainly looks the best, but the Epic is nothing to frown at.
[Captivate General] Dani897:
Epic is to big, I wish I had money for i9000. But the captivate is so much sexier.
[Captivate General] shaolin95:
Just as I thought then...that one review I read stated that and then it became a "fact" for many people...usual internet stuff :-)
[Captivate General] 02CWRX:
I have the captivate that I picked up to try out AT&T's service. Like others I agree its the best looking, the Vibrant looks too much like an iPhone. I currently have T-Mobile with a BB 8900, and I do like the Captivate. The only "problem" I see is that if I dont like AT&T's service (which its looking that way), I dont want to be stuck with returning the phone and going to the Vibrant on T-Mobile, haha. Luckily I unlocked my Captivate and can use it with my T-Mobile account, but unfortunately the Captivate doesnt operate on T-Mobile's 3G network, but the Vibrant can work on AT&Ts 3G - or so Ive read. All I know is when I run my Captivate on T-Mobile, I only can get Edge service on it. Its just going to suck to have to either keep the Captivate and not have 3G, or return it and go with the ugly Vibrant...

~T.J.
[Captivate General] DraxusD:
Maybe go for the fascinate?
[Captivate General] confrontation:
I didnt like the shape of the vibrant and that it doesnt work well on all the carrier in New Zealand , the Captivate is great feeling to hold and works on all the networks here.
[Captivate General] confrontation:
And the fact the Captivate has more Bands
[Captivate General] confrontation:
Both phones are very light , I would say the Vibrant is a little lighter , maybe due to the Captivate having a metal battery cover.

My battery seems to fly out the door, how do you close down some of the running applications? I don't want to download a 3rd party app just to be able to close browser or mediascape X_X

EDIT: Also, I am trying to delete some apps with Titanium backup, do yall recommend deleting Google talk, Play Now, User Guide and Use Support? And finally there is a toolbar that has 4 pictures (one with a dot and signals going up, one for blue tooth, one with a satellite dish letting off a signal and one that controls the phone, what do the 1st and 3rd ones control? I have no manual with this phone.

3rd party

On the beginning of the thread you said you didn't want a 3rd party app to close tasks. However you should use something like "advanced task killer". If you open the app you get a list of running apps and you can unselect the ones you want to remain running.

Then you get a 1 click widget that remembers that (un)selection, leaving those apps running and stopping everything else. Very useful.

BTW check this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=767849

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Earthbrain:
I currently have Froyo 2.2 on my HD2 and I am having fun with it.

However, I whenever I connect the phone to my PC using the USB connection, I can never see my phone connect to the PC.

I go to my computer and I don't see any new drive. I can easily do this with WinMo 6.5.

I need to transfer files from my computer to my phone but I cannot make the connection. Please help.

Is there some time of setting that I have to do?

I went to setting -->> Connect to PC --->> Default connection type --->> and I chose Disk Drive but it still does not work.

The options that I have are:

Charge Only

HTC Sync

Disk Drive

USB Tethering

I think I tried all 4 of the options but I still cannot connect my phone to my PC using the USB cable.

Please help.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] sylau90:
you can go to market and search for this app(automount),then set it to auto mount when USB connected...then you should see your device on your PC...but you are unable to direct copy files to the device,it'll corrupt...

The most reliable way to copy file from pc to android now is install this software...Android explorer which allows drag and drop...everything...click here

download and install it...hey mate,next time please don't create a thread because of 1 question,try to ask in the thread of your build or search...

Cheers..that definitely will help you..

Is there any app that allows you to use different tones/volumes for different notiications / Alarms (like different ringtones for different people)

Eg. Different tones for message send vs message failed Etc. Please ?

Thank you !!

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ls1971:
On SD card, create a folder structure as follows:

media/audio/alarms

media/audio/ringtones

media/audio/notifications

Put your audio in the relevant folder and it will be available in the appropriate menu...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YaPaY:
or use Zedge from Market. It's great program.

[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
So I attempted the OTA 2.2 update and I'm honestly not sure what exactly went wrong. I waited for Verizon to push the update, but apparently the update was corrupted because the OS was acting very sporadic and my Baseband wasn't upgraded because it was (and still is) on 1.x.

I attempted to upgrade the baseband and thing got really strange... I could try to explain everything I've done to try to fix the phone but I really can't come to a solid conclusion. I've worked extensively in the iPhone jailbreaking scene but the Android stuff is a bit different so I'm still learning how the phone is logically designed, etc the hard way.

Here's where I am now:

I cannot boot into recovery via any means... I'm pretty sure that the partition is deleted because it just jumps straight back to HBOOT. When I was still able to get into recovery, the sdcard couldn't mount as well as a few other things in /dev/block. I can't get HBOOT to recognize ANY PB31IMG.zip's nor would clockwork install them from recovery before I lost recover... when I try to flash recovery with fastboot, it says not allowed. I didn't think it would be an issue because I have S-OFF.

I feel like if I can re-flash the newest clockwork or cyanogen from HBOOT, I can then mount my sdcard and restore to 2.1 and then try to OTA again (after a nandroid backup), but I can't really get around HBOOT's permission hissy-fit.

I can't just take my phone back to the verizon store either because I'm in college and have no car and there isn't one nearby.

Any help is appreciated!
[Droid Incredible General] cantare:
One simple thing to check: is your SD card formatted FAT32? If it's the stock 2GB one, then probably not. You need FAT32 to flash PB31IMG.zip...
[Droid Incredible General] Grikshanks:
Yup, if you can get to hboot you're fine, just make sure its formatted correctly as previous poster said.
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
Hmm ok well, I read that little bit elsewhere and you are completely right, the card was fat16 so I formatted it as fat32 and it still doesn't offer to update the zip... The only thing I can think of is perhaps there was a problem with me having to use my phone as the card reader? I don't really have any other options there and now I can't mount it in recovery to try again.

I have a blackberry 9650 that could act as the reader I suppose... If I can get it to boot without the battery. I somehow had it pulled and left it all the way back home.

Any tips are still appreciated. Thanks guys!
[Droid Incredible General] twentysided:
I am not 100% sure this will work but since it sounds like your phone is not bricked but you have issues getting the right files on your SD card...

Card readers for your computer are dirt cheap, no?

Head to Best Buy, pick one up, and then download and transfer the files you need on it over from the computer. Then put the SD card back in your phone, and start over.

I hope someone will chime in if this sounds like a bad idea for some reason...
[Droid Incredible General] seanzer:
Or I'm sure one of your friends have a laptop or another smartphone..
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
The problem is that I can't easily get to a place that sells MicroSD card readers. If I were so able, I would just go to the Verizon Store and get my unit replaced, as the technicians advised me to do on Twitter.

I need a way to format the SD card from fastboot or something else... perhaps my Blackberry 9650 will do it if it's only getting a charge from the sync cable. I shouldn't have left its battery at home. My mistake :p

Has anyone else had an issue with formatting it from a phone directly?
[Droid Incredible General] twentysided:
I formatted mine in the phone. FAT32 format is FAT32 format.
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
I completely agree.. however I'm unable to get it formatted. One of my suite mates has a Moto Droid so hopefully it can format it and all will be well.

Here's another question though.. Why can't I flash a recovery image via fastboot? I keep getting "writing 'recovery'... FAILED (remote: not allowed)" and I'm using official images with S-OFF set so I don't really see what the problem is. I've searched around quite a lot and can't find much on it. I at least want to be able to boot recovery, or maybe flash the system partition back from hboot via fastboot.

Just curious. Thanks guys!
[Droid Incredible General] ladesidude:
I had some problems with my SD Card as well (it would not recognize PB31IMG.zip) during hboot, but clockworkmod could read it. I believe there was a problem with the SD Card, kind of wierd to explain, but I replaced it with another SD Card and that problem has gone away. Could be your card is "partially" defective.
[Droid Incredible General] halcyon_22:
this scenario kind of happened to my friends's new incredible. unfortunately he is not rooted nor s-off. After he applied the OTA and rebooted the phone it just FC's after the boot screen animation. I'm hoping that the factory reset/data wipe will fix this thru the stock recovery or hopefully will let me put the signed .zip RUU on the sdcard and flash thru the stock recovery.

Ill let you know how things go, but it seems im in a darker situation than you are as I have no clockwork recovery to play with and get this working.
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
One of my SD cards is fully defective, but the one from my Blackberry is fine... I just have no means to format it.

And to the poster above me, I don't have recovery anymore since my recovery partition is apparently wiped (my bad :p), however I do have S-OFF. It's just all frustrating. Why can't I flash it straight over USB like the iPhone? I miss my beloved DFU Restores with iTunes :(
[Droid Incredible General] jbh00jh:
You do need to format the SD card to fat 32 and I would do a factory re-set also. :)
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
I realize the first bit but the second bit is impossible, check the rest of the thread.
[Droid Incredible General] douger1957:
You realize that you don't need a micro SD reader if you have the full size sd to micro adapter card that comes with almost all micro sd cards...

Also make sure you didn't rename your file PB31IMG.zip.zip. One zip is enough and if it's a zip file, Windows will put the proper extension on automatically.

If you can get into hboot, you're not hosed yet.
[Droid Incredible General] crizh4x:
I have read that around... I work on a Mac and I have it setup so that file extensions are always displayed but I was last trying most of these fixes from a Win7 pc that isn't setup that way... the file extensions are hidden but that said, unless I saw "PB31IMG.zip" in explorer, I wouldn't have any issues because there is only one hidden file extension. However, now that most of the people here at my college have gone home for the weekend, I can't verify that =/

I understand that I'm not really hosed... I knew I wasn't bricked, but I'm close and it should get some people to look at this thread just a little bit more. It's a dirty little trick but it works. Hence "potentially" ;)

And yes, I'm aware of the SD adapter thing, if I had one I could just format it through my digital camera... too bad all of my MicroSD cards came with my phones so there is no adapter.
[Droid Incredible General] smw420:
You must be at the only college without a Walmart within walking distance. I hope you get it working, as a new SD card formatted FAT32 should fix you right up - I wouldn't trust your current card given what you've described already.

-M
[Droid Incredible General] cooksalot:
Much less the only college where you don't have friend or a friend of a friend that has what you need. Much less a resident dorm geek around to ask for help. I'm sure if you ask around someone would have a reader or adapter. Perhaps you will have to use it under their supervision so they make sure it doesn't grow it's own feet, but I'm sure if you asked around.
