Try bending USB tongue up

The solution described in the obfuscated link below, namely bending the USB connector "tongue" worked for me. To say I was amazed was putting it mildly.

Your thoughts? I have gotten a 1900 benchmark with cm6 and snap 8.2. Any input would be helpful, thanks.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] easy9:
I would love to use this rom.only thing holding me back is the lack of 4g support
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ijrod21i:
Yeah, that would be a deal breaker for me but unfortunately 4g is not available in my area yet.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atoy74:
CM6 is by far the fastest ROM I've used. That being said, it has the worst battery life too.

(To be fair, I have not tried Snap 8.2 to gauge battery life yet)
[EVO 4G General] the_ahmadzais:
is juicedefender good app? im interested in buying it to gain battery life or data on demand app is the same as juicedefender?
[EVO 4G General] Nnyan:
I've been doing some battery tests and by far this is my fav app to prolong battery life. Running with it I've seen a very noticible difference, paid for the app gladly.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
I alos noticed a big diffrence with the paid version. when i used the free version i did not notice a huge change. It will mainly depend on how much your screen is off. if you have your screen off most of the time(like msot people do i assume) Then it can save tons of power (along with setCPU though the paid version of juice defender does have screen off CPU throttle built in)
[EVO 4G General] jerryparid:
Just ignore juicedender

Most people don't know this but Backed Snack 1.7 with Kernel #6 has 2-5x the battery life of most rom. That ROM does NOT use batttery period. Use go read the last couple of pages of that thread.
[EVO 4G General] sanjsrik:
JuiceDefender slowed my device to an absolute crawl. COMPLETELY slowed it down so badly I had to restart to get it back to working. The UI is VERY confusing. YMMV, but I don't think it's owrth it.
[EVO 4G General] nvius:
I tried the free version. However, when I found out you need to have the notification icon running all the time, I uninstalled it. I don't want a cup of orange juice on my status bar 24/7.
[EVO 4G General] Bizdady:
It doesnt need to be on. With it off it just says the system might close it. Ive been running it with the Notification icon always off and it has really helped my battery double at least.
[EVO 4G General] nvius:
Right, I mispoke, it doesn't need to be on, but it does highly recommend for it to be on so it doesn't close. Anyone else have the notification off and running Juicedefender fine?
[EVO 4G General] jagox5:
the juice works

I got to say it really works!

just set it to turn off Data when screen is off.
[EVO 4G General] bluehaze:
Caused to many other problems so I uninstalled it. It does save battery life mainly from disconnecting your data whenever the screen is off but alot of programs I use need data when the screen is off and most importantly I use wifi tether alot and it does not work with the screen off. I tried many times even with JD showing wifi tether allowed to keep data connection it still randomly disconnects. Was not worth the hassle I have 2 batteries and would rather just swap the battery than have to use JD.
[EVO 4G General] martyzidek:
Why not use the data power widget. One click on and off. I click it off and put phone on standby. If I turn on I wont click unless I use a app or browser that uses the internet. Everything that syncs I can just click into and with sync.
[EVO 4G General] Alanmw86:
was great until the most recent update to it, made my phone crawl, took me 3 restarts and 10 minutes just to get into anything to shut it down and uninstall it.
[EVO 4G General] omegasun18:
i also have the notification off and it works fine for me.

for wifi tether there is an app option that i just selected wifi tether and told it to always leave data on when wifi tether was running. (you can do this with any apps if you ahve some you like to use with the screen off ie pandora etc so when you are using them it doesnt turn it off but when yuo are it does)

Also i have never had issues with it slowing down my phone. I have used it for months with out problems. even on baked snacks roms it helped for the person mentioning it.

maybe i have jsut been lucky but for me has done wonders and worked great once i got everything set up correctly

I wonder if there could be a softkey included in every menu. Like in iPhone. I want my hard keyboard to live longer. It would also be easier to use.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phoophan:
I have a brand new Samsung Captivate from AT&T. I want to root the phone to get rid of all the bloat-ware and have some fun but I have a question I need answered before I do so.

I'm currently running Android v2.1. After I root can I allow AT&T to update my firmware automatically or do I need to update to v2.2 on my own from an Android website? I'm under the impression that if I root and allow AT&T to update the firmware that the phone will block or explode.

Any/all replies welcome. Thanx.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyaenidae:
Hey there

Yesterday I suddenly realized, that my ear piece speaker stopped working. First I thought it was just a little bug, solvable through re-trying to call or rebooting.

Nothing worked. Strangely enough going via the load speaker or the headset, everything sounds fine. Just the ear piece in the phone seems defect.

Then I found some weird diy solutions like using your headphone jack as a drill and pushing and pulling it in several ways or using a tooth-pick to scramble open some stuck switch. But honestly I don't know if this helps or breaks my headphone jack.

You guys have any idea how to solve this - don't want to send it in (wait weeks and get an lcd-desire back).

Cheers and Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyaenidae:
Just off the phone (no, not with my Desire) with HTC Customer Service, who have never heard of this issue and just recommend a hard-reset.

Still need to try the "jam the original headphones in and out"-solver tho.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hyaenidae:
seriously? I'm the first with this issue?

well hard reset, nor poking in the jack brought any benefit. so sending it in it is then :/

I just got a brand new replacement evo from sprint that came with froyo 2.2 on it.

I rooted using this method

and now I am on the stock 2.2 rom that came with unrevoked pt 2. when flashing

I've installing 5 different versions of wifi tether and none of them work

windows just says "no network access"

then when I plug in USB and select "usb tether" from the dropdown

I get "error 67. Registration Failure. Your PCS Vision username and/or password may be incorrect. please try again."

I have a feeling it has something to do with this particular version of Root I did.

I have superuser access and can delete sprint apps.

but in adb shell I still see $

because last time I rooted wifi tether worked like a charm, and the stock htc usb tether also worked no questions asked.

I know I could always use pda net, but it's nice to know the phone will work out of the box with any computer.

any words of wisdom on this? should I just install some custom rom that has it built in? I rather like the stability of stock Roms.

was I supposed to flash radio? I really have no idea and have been trying to figure this out for a few hours now.

wifi tether

I just recently got my evo also and was running into the same problems as yall. After lots of research and deleting stuff off of the phone that i wasnt supposed to i had to flash back to complete stock and reroot with unrevoked3. as it turns out only certain kernels work with the wifi tether. and as far as the sprint native wifi or tethered ones those you have to pay for. its an extra 30 bucks a month. the unrevoked3 method seemed to be the easiest method out. but thats just my opinion. hoped this helped out guys. oh yeah the unrevoked3 root works just fine with the wifi tether (rooted)

Hi to all of you..

I was looking a phone.apk that has the future of "vibrate on outgoing call when answered"...

So i found this one, but i tried it on my Milestone with GOT 2.36 rooted and it didn't work. I get force close...

So my question is that:

Is there any chance to have a similar phone.apk (with the same or similar futures) for our Milestone, as the link i posted on top???

I think the developers in this forum have the knowlegde to make it happen to our Milestone. It would be great...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleadam:
Time for a big update to this post.

The andromeda roms have now a camera that

not only uses the power button for taking stills, but also for video recording.

More interestingly, the power button in still images function now as the grey button on the display, i.e., one quick press takes a still as is, while a long press focuses until the key is released, and then takes the still.

The second mod required a change in android.policy.jar

to prevent the power button long press to bring the power menu up. Thus,

it will only work in the andromeda rom unless other rom developers decide to implement the change also

.

You can find the diffs between the original armani camera app and this one attached here. For the actual app, please take a look at the andromeda page for the reason stated above.

I will explain the changes in posts below (20-23) so I don't clutter this one too much.

GlobalActions.smali is part of android.policy.jar, while the other three belong to the camera app.

BTW: This does not belong any more to Q&A. Dear Mods, would you please move the thread to a more suitable forum (apps or dev)?

If this helps in the search:

I installed dropbox, and noticed that dropbox now shows as one of the upload options. This suggests (to me) that there is a configuration file or database entry somewhere where this was added.

If we can find out where, there is a possibility of just removing the lockbox entry.

I doubt that its built into the app, they would want to sell this to different providers, and each will have (or not) its own version of the AT&T lockbox.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aleadam:
I thought it was quite clear from the title :p

When reviewing the images, you don't have to click on more->delete to delete a picture. It's just there. More important, you don't have the option for at&t online locker above delete. Too many times I clicked on that (fat thumbs, maybe?) instead of the delete button.

It is just a minimal mod, for the few of us that hate the online locker. Nothing more.
