[Droid X General] oxidant11:
so i went through the instructions on instaklling the tranquility rom, well after installing all i got was the motorola boot, nothing else, so i restarted the phone after about 10 min, and still nothing, so i reboot into recovery, and wiped the phone, well its still only showing the motorola logo, any suggestions?
[Droid X General] kwiggington:
Same thing happend to me
[Droid X General] johnclevenger:
Boot into recovery and load one of your backups. If you don't have backups, then you just learned why you need them. Of course, there are people who have uploaded nandroid backups to this site and others, find one of them, move it to your sdcard, boot into recovery, and install it.

If all this fails, then just .sbf. It doesn't take forever, and you can make a nice clean stock 2.2 backup after you root and then upgrade.
[Droid X General] ksmitchell:
What OS are you running? Have you tried to SBF your phone back to factory?
[Droid X General] kwiggington:
Im guessing its 2.2 only
[Droid X General] oxidant11:
Yeah i got it back by doing spf. And then reloaded a backup, but i could never get into clockwork, what do u do yo get into clockwork because the only recovery i was able to get into was the recovery that comes with the phone, just would like to know.
[Droid X General] Phsyckr:
The same thing happened to me trying to update using the update.zip. Installs everything normally but when it comes to booting it simply stops at the motorola logo, then if you reboot it several times taking the battery out it boots into the system.
[Droid X General] 00negative:
Doesn't sound like your rooted? Have to be rooted to use Clockwork.

If you are rooted might try reinstalling the Bootstrap Recovery.
[Droid X General] inzandity:
Would definitely suggest doing an SBF on the phone. The guides here are a little unorganized, so I wrote up a nice one below. Includes everything including the SBF file needed for flashing.

[Droid X General] goose71:
Need help! My phone was rooted using the Easy Root process, all was peachy until I decided to try the latest leak of 2.2. Didn't work, got stuck at the M logo and could only get the bootloader screen up. I thought it was bricked but after searching high and low through the blogosphere got to this post. Now I've done the sbf as suggested, but when I try to do the Easy Root again, nothing happens. Any suggestions? I would like to root again so I can access the backup from my sd card and get my phone back to where I had it b/f. HELP!

Ok so as far as i know there is know toggle widget that will turn on and off the incredibles mobile network. I was wondering if anyone would be kind enough to create one or point me to one that does. It bothers me that my wifi has a toggle widget but i still have to go the long way to turn on/off my mobile network. Thanks for all the hard work you guys do, cause of your work i am in love....with my phone.

okay another question what about one that works for launcherpro
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Hi guys,

Excuse my ignorance but I would like to know how exactly this phone works. For example I know that there are few parts that compose the full OS of the phone. There is a kernel, there is a CSC and there are some other parts which compose the phone's functionality.

I don't know if I made myself understood but if I did and you know about a thread or something I would be glad to read it all. I just need the directions as at this moment I have no idea how to search for it, I don't know what words to use.

Thanks a lot and, again, excuse me if I created a double post.
[Captivate Android Development] irish003:
You might be better off asking this in the Q&A thread, this is development and your not likely to get a response.

[Captivate General] eatkabab:
These days smartphones have gotten plenty small to carry normally. so why don't they beef them up with a ginormous batt and make it a selling point?

I think the SGS is the smallest big screened smartphone. If they were to make it Evo sized, double the batt life and sell it as a completely different phone, that would be great! I mean I would think it would be some major bragging right to say "our phone has 200% the batt life of the next best phone".

10 hours of full 3G web browsing/GPS/video playback

70hrs+ of audio playback

on top of all that, maximum batt life deterioration over time will be null because you'll go through MANY fewer recharge cycles.

These phones are all great, but I'm a power user and I'm always fighting my batt. We should be able to have all the bells and whistles blowing at all times.

Thanks for your time/response

Edit: the new iPod has a 3400mah batt. Coupled with the "Peal" which turns the iPod into an iPhone (albeit an ugly one), you basically get an iPhone 4 with double the batt life in a similar sized package...

Edit: I'm dead wrong about the iPod's batt capacity as rajendra82 has pointed out. It was 3.4 watt hour, not 3.4 amp hours. Sorry (for the record, the iPod's batt would be terribly insufficient as a modern phone batt in a smartphone)
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
The new iPOD touch has a 3.44 Wh battery, which at 3.7 V translates to 929 mAh. The Samsung Captivate has a 5.55 Wh battery, which at 3.7 V translates to 1500 mAh. Since the battery capacity is directly proportional to the volume, a battery of 3000 mAh will be twice as big as our current battery. The biggest phones today (i.e., the EVO and Droid X) only ship with a 1300 mAh battery. 1500 mAH is plenty for this phone to get through the day. Battery life is typically rated at 1000 cycles, which is 3 years assuming a full day to go from 100% to 0%. You are likely to replace the phone in 3 years any way.
[Captivate General] Ptaaty:
Our phones do have large batteries, and as long as you don't have a bad program, have the screen on super bright, or use it as a hot spot, the battery life is going to be good enough for nearly anyone.

The captivate has a HUGE percent of the volume dedicated to the battery already, without using a non standard (non rectangular prism) battery shape the phone thickness would need to greatly increase and have wasted space.

In simpler terms, when your battery is already good for the market, a thinner phone sells more than a marginal battery lfie increase.
[Captivate General] heliumhelicopter:
What about weight? Does a bigger battery weigh significantly more?
[Captivate General] ukulele_ninja:
I would love to have a bigger battery or one of those battery cases like my fiancee has for her iphone. I think the above comments are spot on, but i think what companies dont take into account is how much people use their phones for on a daily basis. I dont know about you, but I use my phone a hell of a lot during the day more so than what constitutes as 'just getting through the day'. If im lucky enough to make it through till the end of the day its skirting on the red. A backup battery would be awesome to have!
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
Sorry, I just realized that. I must have missed the details about the ipod power.

I understand that the captivate technically has the "best" battery, but I do not agree that it will last through the day. I'm using my phone regularly to look up information, text, Gtalk, and make many calls. The phone is dead by the time I get home around 6pm (days start around 7:30am).

the iPad has a "10 hour batt life". My sister has her iPad lying around the house but she and I are much more often on our phones, so why don't our phones have a 10 hour batt life? I think its kinda difficult to use the ipad for 10 hours in a single day seeing that people usually work too. My phone is used for productive purposes usually, so it is very easy to drain it in the 4.5hrs it lasts on any day (not to mention difficult to get through an 8hr plane ride and still have juice to find your way to the hotel when you land). Last I checked, a day was at least 8 hours, not 4.5.

I also realize that they would have to ditch the rectangle/cube form factor of the batt in order to fill the space of a larger case more efficiently (something the iphone takes advantage of). I have nothing against this (or the added weight) and I don't think any other power user would care either.

At the end of the day, a captivate thats as big and heavy as the Evo is a small compromise if it'll last ALL day long and I believe there is a significant market for Android+10hr batt. Unfortunately, the obvious response to that is that I'm wrong since it doesn't exist. So I guess I'm just a crazy person then

Sigh...

Edit: I forgot to mention Virgin America has solved all flying problems with this nifty little thing called a power receptacle in each trio of seats.
[Captivate General] Berserk87:
There have been at least 10 different claims in the last 5-10 years from companys saying they've found a way to at least triple battery capacity.

so far none of them have made anything...
[Captivate General] khoavuong:
Have you ever seen those extended batteries that also replace the back cover? They look awful. It's great that the Captivate is so slim and light.

It's unlikely that enough people need that much power every day for manufacturers to implement a huge battery in every device.
[Captivate General] SetiroN:
Nevertheless, it would be great to have the option.

Third party batteries that replace the back cover haven't been designed by the manufacturer to take advantage of all the space available, they're just made afterwards for the (admittedly few) people who need to stay more than 12hrs without a power source.

If a manufacturer specifically made a phone to accomodate a larger battery, the uglyness+volume/duration ratio would be much better.

Imagine a qwerty slider with a large battery instead of the keyboard: you could live with the additional volume and you could go on for two full days without a powersource.

Personally I wouldn't ever make it without a car charger, I keep a spare battery around in case I need it and even carry a retractable microUSB as a key holder (I use my phone as a music player, the battery drains FAST).

I'm ok with that but a large capacity batt. would let me not have to care about how much juice I have left all the time, wich would be great. :D
[Captivate General] Dareoth:
You're not crazy. I think about the smartphone battery problem all the time. It's by far the biggest drawback of a smartphone. Even if you are using it lightly, you still have to charge every night, that is smartphone 101. And yet, if my friend iwth a little feature phone texts me all day, and I text them back all day, there phone... is fine. They can bascially run it all day for three days before needing to charge when it's new. My Captivate (or any other smartphone)... constantly having the screen on? It would be begging for battery after hours. Now of course, we have vastly better batteries than the feature phone, it's just the smartphone is doing significantly more. But still, yes, there should be a way, possibly with non-rectangular batteries, to significantly (at least double) battery life at a not massive cost to form factor and size. And yes, I'm sure there is a market here as well.
[Captivate General] beazie0885:
Seido is in the development process for a 3200mA battery for the cappy. Won't be long before you can actually see what it looks like on their website
[Captivate General] ColbyRyptos:
This may be about the captivate battery life but I think some of u are crazy. I run the hybrid r3 rom on my phone and I use it for music; GPS; internet and everything else that is normal and my battery is garbage. I'm sorry but when I buy a phone it should not be dead by like 3 pm
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Bigger battery means more weight. Some manufacturers get a little more power out of the same physical size, but if you really want to double the battery, you double the size and double the weight.

Since the phones have no extra room inside, you wind up with a bigger phone.

All manufacturers are trying to balance size, weight and power. It is no coincidence that all the smartphones have near the same size battery.
[Captivate General] Kaik541:
This post pretty much leads me to believe more is going on than you're saying. With hybrid r3 I was getting two days with heavy usage, also gps isn't functional on that rom, so claiming to use it seems to be misinformed at best

Sent from my Samsung SGH-i897
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
Seido might make some great batteries, but if the batt for the captivate is ANYTHING like the batt for the galaxy S, its absolutely retarded and WAY too big to be practical. They basically just extended the batt brick and extended the casing with it. With the same batt cover, they could have added a whole nother batt right next to the extended batt cuz of all the wasted space.

Not a viable solution IMO. A factory made phone that has a HUGE batt would be marginally larger than the current captivate because they can take advantage of a non-traditional form factor and all the space inside.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Our Captivate doesn't have any extra space, and even the Droid X has a battery of the same size. I am just not seeing the extra space for bigger battery. There is also the weight issue.

Now if maybe the new Dell Streak will give you a monster battery in that big thing.
[Captivate General] Keland44:
i agree that a phone with a super battery pack would be nice. me and my friends would always talk about if we could make our own phones what we would want and i always said something that would give me nice battery life so the idea i came up with was this

by default most phones come with a 1500 mah battery

but why not add a non traditional form factor to the rest of the case adding battery to and around the phone like in the area around the camera in the front of the phone around the side of the phone kinda like some of this battery jackets we see coming out for the iphone 4

i think it would add maybe just a built more bulk to the phone i'm still using a tilt so i'm used to carryin a bulky phone

i've always been interested in seeing super cap or ultra cap tech being put into a smartphone figuring if we can't go all day with our battery at least let us be able to get a full charge with in a few minutes ya know

i see ultra and super cap tech starting to be put in remotes were you can charge it in 1 minute to 5 minutes and not have to charge it for two weeks that kinda tech in a cell would be lovely
[Captivate General] belyle:
I, for one, would give up the cool looking indent in the back of the captivate (where the metal cover is) if they would fill that space with battery. It wouldn't increase the size of the phone (much), wouldn't make it bulgy, and I could see it giving at least 50% better battery life.

Even if the phone was blobby, plenty of people are buying Droid phones, and those things are frikin' mon calamari cruisers.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
obviously they would have to make the phone a tad thicker and its already so light weight that adding double the batt weight would still keep it weighing less than an Evo
[Captivate General] bartek4443:
the Samsung Captivate battery is pretty beefy if you ask me, I don't know how they would fit a processor and other components in the phone if they got a bigger battery
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
I don't understand why people keep saying this exact thing. I thought it was kinda obvious when I said multiple times "make the captivate as big as the Evo and put in a bigger battery that is of non traditional form factor."

Obviously it would have to be BIGGER to accommodate the LARGER battery but I believe I as well as a significant number of others would be very okay with that.
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
I just change out batteries, I found a charger and 2 batteries from Hong Kong on e-bay for 10 bucks. My phone is charging and I have two fully charged backups so I am no longer sweating battery life. Three should get me through a few days.
[Captivate General] mikeypopps:
Ok my battery is always dead mid day. But let me explain why:

I run the following widgets:

Youtube (modded with Recommended scrolling)

Engadget

my6sense

weather bug

BBC

Google Voice

smooth calendar

Facebook

Tasker

But I commute for two hours into work so I spend it browsing the web and playing games.

80% of my battery use by time i get to work is Display. My percentage is usually around 55-60% by that point.

The battery life for this phone is great as long as your not using the screen. But Im always browsing pages online and checking the news/updates so my screen is always on. I get about a solid 6-7 hours of heavy use. On days when I'm not using using the screen heavily I get a full day use no problem and thats with pandora running.

So I bought a battery charger with two extra batteries. Now I could run my screen for 15 hours straight no problem.
[Captivate General] eatkabab:
This is okay, but unfortunately I feel like the mechanism for opening/closing the batt door on the captivate will begin to go loose and break fairly quickly. after all, it wasn't intended to be opened/closed on a daily basis.

Not to mention its somewhat of a pain to get anything other than those silicone cases on/off each day without eventually stretching it out or wearing it out
[Captivate General] mikeypopps:
I open my captivate at least twice a day and thats with the Body Glove case. I am worried about stretching out the case too but I have to admit its still on snug as a bug and I pull it off from the top left the weakest point. The latch for the back is still stiff as hell. So no loss so far here.
[Captivate General] ranova:
3200mAH extended battery coming soon from seidio:

will definitely have a new back cover.
[Captivate General] DemonWav:
Lol that's more than double stock battery...do you know what that means boys and girls? It means everyone that complains that the Captivate is too light (I love it, but whatever) won't have that excuse anymore if they use that monster.

Hi there I have a problem :(

My problem is that i've just root'ed my HTC Desire (I think?)

But my Desire won't boot right.. It only boots to recovery mode...

If i try to install an update.zip with clockwork it says can't read sd card

Pretty much anything i do on clockwork it says "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0) (No such file or directory) E: Can't mount SDCARD:"

I have also tried adb but it says device not found

My computer registres my Desire when i plug it in but it doesn't recognize it..

What shall i do next?

Ps. I am running windows 7 x64

Sorry for any spelling errors i hope you understand and are able to help me :D
[General Questions and Answers] eltrot1979:
I had a similar problem. Try booting into clockworkmod recovery, connect your phone to your PC and select mount USB (or something like that) from the partitions menu. This should give you access to your SD card on your PC. Next, backup the contents of your SD card and then delete all partitions. I used gParted but i guess you can use disk manager in windows. One deleted, don't format the card or anything, just reboot the phone and hopefully you should boot up OK. Now you can format the SD card from within Android. Before you do all this is might be worth removing your SD card and seeing if you can boot up OK without it.
[General Questions and Answers] faxekondi:
Thanks for reply

When I choose to "mount usb storage" nothing really happens it is not getting recoqnized

The phone won't boot without sd-card

Do you or anyone else know if you can sync your desire from recovery mode?
[General Questions and Answers] faxekondi:
One step further

Okay i now got one step furter

My phone can now start up, but it still can't registre sd card

It just says sd-card removed

Any ideas
[General Questions and Answers] eltrot1979:
have you tried the "mount usb" option again? Although nothing appears to happen on the phone, you should be able to access the card from your PC. it worked for me in both Win7 and Ubuntu. Other than that I can't think of anything else apart from trying a different SD card.
[General Questions and Answers] faxekondi:
I can't choose mount usb storage any more.. I can't get into clockwork

Now, when i press recovery I get into a black screen with at red triangle and i can choose from 3 or 4 things, inluding wipe and apply udate

I've allready tried a diffrent sdcard :(
[General Questions and Answers] LfcFan1977:
Similar problem but extra issues

Searched for hours and been in a live chat a number of times and posted on another forum but can not find specific solution.

I wanted to install this http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789830 HD rom so I partitioned my sdcard (successfully, to ext3 1.5gb, 33mb linux swap, rest fat32) and started wiping via ClockworkMod recovery.

That is when I ran into problems.

Now I can not mount my sdcard - "E:Can't mount /dev/blocl/mmcblk0 (or /dev/block/mmcblk0p1) (invalid argument) Error mounting SDCARD:!"

When I reboot, it just loops.

WinXP will detect my device via adb (when in recovery) but can't see the sdcard.

I had never used fastboot, so I am not sure if I am typing commands correctly.

Htc Desire 2.2 GSM * Uk 3 network * 8gb class2 sdcard * Bravo pvt1 ship S-off Alpharev * Clockwork 2.5.0.7 * HBOOT 0.93.0001 *

Was on Teppic's rom with init.d support http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=773997

Any help would be very much appriciated.

I hope I haven't missed an obvious or relavent thread.

EDIT

Tried sdcard from Nokia6500 but Desire won't mount that either.

When I go into fastboot and plug in my usb, I do get "FASTBOOT USB" come up, so why would cmd "fastboot devices" not detect my phone? In recovery, cmd "adb devices" it does detect it.

[General Questions and Answers] LfcFan1977:

I have managed to get fastboot cmd's to recognise my device.

Just need to figure how to flash my phone but I dont really want to take any backwards steps in terms of flashing a recovery.

Would like to flash my last set-up if it is possible.

Wish me luck lol

EDIT

Sorted....ish

Long short cut short is:

sdcard reader, reformatted to all fat32 with Paragon hard disc manager 8.

copied rom zip to sd.

full wipe with clockwork recovery.

Then inserted sd and installed zip from sdcard.

booted.

smiled again, even though its a practically stock rom.
