Well, many of the fake memory cards use host for storage, to fake the large capacity and fast access time.

So when you used it on your laptop, it actually stored all the data on your hard disk. Cool, you thought: it's all working.

Then you used it on HD2, which was impossible for the dodge hack, so it revealed its true nature.

Just installed the new card and swapped over my files. For smaller files, data transfer doesn't seem very different, but large movies definitely seem to transfer faster.

Long story short, none of my "physical" keys work. Is there a ROM or CAB that will prevent my screen from hibernating when I lock the phone? I'm sick of "butt dialing" people.

I am well aware that this will cause rapid battery drain. I am already dealing with that. Car chargers are a wonderful thing.

Hey guys.

I have been a windows mobile user for the longest time and its been a while since my last post. Just bought my Captivate today.

I tried booting into recovery mode but it flashes the att splash screen and boots up normally. If i continue to hold the buttons, the splash screen just flashes off and on again. I really want to root this phone right away.

Anyone know how i can fix this?

I tried looking for this but no one seems to have this same problem. I am sorry if i am repeating stuff. Please forward me to it and delete the thread if you wish.

Thank you
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
Pull the battery and make sure the phone is off.

Put the battery back on.

Hold the volume up and volume down button, then hold the power button. When the white AT&T screen first comes on, let go of the power button, but hold the volume keys.

does that work for you?

EDIT: and before anyone else chimes in, this thread probably belongs in either general or question and answer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
nope that didnt work either.

I guess i am gonna have to install the sdk and go that route.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
as soon as the att screen comes on, i let go of power but hold both volume keys.

it takes about 10 seconds, but eventually it goes into recovery mode for me.

EDIT: Based on you saying it flashes off and on again, it sounds like you aren't letting the power button go.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I tried that too and it just went straight ahead to the boot up animation.

I really want to thank you for you speedy replies.

Any more suggestions, keep 'em coming. I really want to root this phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
On your home screen, hit the menu button, and then settings. scroll down to about phone.

What is your baseband?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theMaginator:
What always works for me is:

turn off.

Power on holding the up and down volume buttons and the power button.

When you see the ATT logo let go of everything.

This always works for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
Honestly, the SDK is the easiest method.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] IllegalOpcode:
You should have the sdk installed anyway. It help with installing non-market apps. Install it then enable debug mode on you phone. You can do that in the settings menu under applications> development. Then at the cmd prompt on your pc use this command. "adb reboot recovery" no quotes. The phone will reboot to recovery.

It worked using the SDK method.

Thanks for all the help guys. Love XDA! don't know what I would do without it.

I dont know if I should upgrade the firmware or not. Anyone want to share their opinions on whether it is useful or useless?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
Hello all

I think this thread would be highly relevant since we are all in the business of continuous wipes and ROM installs.

I have been using two programs for my backup needs: Titanium Backup and My Backup Pro. I know the two apps are quite different, but ultimately their purpose is the same. I list brief observations about the two:

TItanium BAckup

1) Backs up all right, but stalls on some programs while restoring, restarting Sense. In order to resume, one has to uncheck that program from the restore list

2) Creates a single, unified backup, thus saving disk space. But also, I haven't found a way to restore exactly the apps that I had last - it only restores ALL the apps in its backup history, meaning it is a cumulative history of apps rather than latest snapshot. The options are either 'restore missing apps' or 'restore all apps'. Am I missing something?

3) Closes down everything while backing up - something of a minor irritation

4) Does not restore my Sense desktop fully

5) Some restored programs are prone to errors or missing data

My BAckup Pro:

1) Generally quite slower than TB

2) Backs up everything, allows to restore only the apps I had last installed

3) Restores Sense desktop quite well

4) Sometimes stalls in the process of zipping the backup or unzipping it again. But always picks up from where it left.

It turns out MBP is slightly better. But I'd love others' feedback on this.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the_rebel:
I've found TB to be highly advanced in Apps backup area compared to MBP. TB allows app freezing, which virtually allows you to uninstall a nagging system app with an undo option. And with the latest version it even allows uninstalling system apps!! :D

Bye Bye Teeter, Peep and the like.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
Yes, you are right it is more 'advanced'. But for me more important than saving a few MB by removing system apps is getting my whole apps and desktop back undamaged and without errors etc, and in this case I found MBP to be better.

As I mentioned above, Titanium does not offer an easy way to restore the EXACT apps I had before wipe - it either offers 'ALL apps ever backed up' or nothing. Again, that might be my misconception. But as I said, it does stall on too many apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tori007:
will have to agree with u TB is quite annoying stopped using a while ago

the only problem i have with MBP is the contacts and calender restore so i stopped using them

i just log on to my gmail and sync my contacts and calender

and as for app restore, its works great never had any errors and i usually restore with data.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wardy277:
TB does allow single apps to backup or restore.

I have backup and restored single apps many times. U can set it to backup only user apps an optionally add the system ones. You simple press menu->batch->backup user apps then you can go through the list and tick/untick those apps you wish to backup or not.

I have found TB so easy to use for whatever combination of backup restore i feel like doing. Also the scheduled backup is a life saver!

for these reasons i have donated to this app!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryanrich:
Been using the paid version of Titanium since I got my Desire and love it. Have never had a single issue or experienced any of the problems listed...
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deepakoffline:
i always used titanium earlier but since i tried MBP.... i generally uninstall titanium from the custom roms of flash. for me MBP is the best :) love it
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I have paid versions of both TB and MBP, and only have one installed on my phone now.

Which one?

Titanium.

I've not experienced a single one of the issues that the OP mentioned. As has been said previously, even in batch operation you can select/deselect the apps you want to backup or restore.

To the OP: Are you using the paid version of Titanium?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
Yes, I am using paid version. I am aware of the option to restore single apps as well. I have been using both for months.

Actually, my problem is this: I have about 167 apps that I am currently using (or pretend to be using anyway!). TBP has a backup of these 167, PLUS many other apps that I backed up earlier but uninstalled. Now when I wipe, and then restore, I have to uncheck the apps I had uninstalled from the restore list. Second problem is, TBU stalls on some apps and reboots Sense, and will continue only if I keep looking at the progress bar, notice which app causes the crash, and uncheck it from restore list.

MBP provides multiple backups, allows me to back up JUST the apps I have installed RIGHT now, and restores them without a problem. it also restores my desktops quite nicely.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TieT:
when you do a full backup of all the apps and system apps of course sense will crash , because TB shuts sense down to back up the files !

Thats the case with all the running apps, because you can choose

Kill active apps OR Exclude active apps !

You can choose a batch to backup the NEW programs in TB.

its in the list.

Backup All new apps & newer versions

I use the paid version and im very happy with it, it works great.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
If you don't want the backups for the uninstalled apps, why not just use the batch operation to delete them?

I've never experienced this issue, so I can't comment.

TB backs up your desktop too, if you select the right options.

Does MBP now have something similar to Market Doctor from TB?

Regards,

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
The Sense stall comes during RESTORATION not BACKUP, and on certain specific apps.

Secondly, yes I have seen the option, but what about restore. I have 'restore missing apps', 'restore all apps', and 'restore newer apps', none of which exactly matches my requirement.

Also, I know with the 'right options' I can restore the desktop with TB too, but it is restored in a broken way with many widgets missing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m8tix:
Actually yes but I have currently the problem, when restoring all apps with their data, they won't show up in the market until I reinstall one app (does not matter which one) and then you will see all your installed apps in the market. Can anyone confirm this ?

Besides that it won't restore 3rd party widgets at your homescreen but I'm almost using all launcherpro plus widgets and the lpp config will be anyway saved through MBP app backup.

I'm using MBP quite often to restore everything and it's quite impressive imho and definitely well worth its money. Never had a big issue with it except the small ones mentioned above.

Best Regards
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice_prophecy:
How about, "Delete backups of Uninstalled Apps"

I used that after every full backup to make sure when I restore it doesn't restore uninstalled apps.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] talhamid:
OK, I didn't notice the 'delete backups of uninstalled apps' - so my bad.

That said, I think MBP does what I need with far fewer clicks. Perhaps this is because it has less features.

One thing I can't get around is the error messages I keep getting with TBU.

Guess will have to keep both :-)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] foxmeister:
I suspect that this may be due to the order in which the backups are restored. It's possible that TB restores the Sense homescreen data before some of the apps and widgets that are on the homescreens have been restored, causing the problems you mentioned.

I've no particular interest in testing it because I don't generally feel the need to backup and restore my homescreens, but if you are, I'd suggest trying to restore your apps and then try to restore your homescreen data.

One other great feature of TB is its integration with App Organizer. Using this, you can label your apps and then backup/restore by label. For example, I do play some games on my phone, but due to space restrictions I don't keep them on the phone at all times. Using App Organizer, I label all my games as "Games", and I then in TB I can backup/restore by that label.

Personally, I think TB is a much more flexible tool than MBP, but with that flexibility comes complexity, which means that MBP is probably superior for less technical users.

Dave
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dave7802:
To be honest i am a Lover of

My Backup Pro,

When i first flashed my phone, i was told by a number of people to use

Titanium

So i got it installed it,

and it come to flashing my rom, i loaded it up,

And was blown away by the number of options,

For me and my honest opinion and what i need it for,

Its far to over complex and does not always perform correctly,

After fafing around for a while i finialy managed to Backup my apps and Data,

And restoring them was a faf, And when i did some Apps didnt load / crash

At this point i never give it the time of day,

I got My Backup on the go and Wow was it easy and fast.

In the Time messing around with options in Titanium i would have backeup all my Apps and Data, and every settings and contacts SMS and MMS Alarms, well pretty much the whole phone using My Backup,

It was Super easy, no fuss, no messing, it backs up and restores,

Restoring is just as easy, select all, or Deselect ones you dont want to restore, if its Settings or A Couple of Apps,

So after loving it i paid for the Pro Version,

Never looked back

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Barsky:
I have been using My Backup Pro since day 1 of having an Android phone. But I am so sick of this POS app. Every single time I restore my apps to a newly rommed phone a number of them force close. If I uninstall those and reinstall fresh from market, they then work fine, so I completely blame this app.

I am not referring to widgets, btw :-)

My question is, before I dump this POS and buy Titanium, has anyone experienced similar problems with it?

Thanks
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] maludroid:
Hi Barsky,

According to your question, I didn't encounter any issues with user apps + data restore.

However, in order to succesfully use all the features of Titanium Backup (reffered as TB) you have to be an aware user.

This means that you either backup everything and make custom restore, or you backup with a proper selection of things and restore everything. What do I mean?

1. You probably don't need to hesitate backuping user apps+user data, that comes pretty straight-forward.

2. You also probably don't need to worry when you upgrade your ROM.

3. The problem arises with rom/system applications and settings when changing (not upgrading) ROM (Froyo/GB, Sense/AOSP etc). What I found quite safe is:

BACKUP:

- backup everything in TB

- use Calls Logs & Backup from the market to backup calls log

- synchronize contacts and calendar with google​

RESTORE:

[don't allow google synchronization before restoring calls log if you don't want to have call log with unbound telephone numbers]

- use Titanium Backup to restore Call Logs & Backup application

- use Calls Logs & Backup to restore calls log

- restore selective tasks in TB:

[be aware that restoring Widgets/HTC Sense may cause conflicts]

# Accounts

# Bluetooth Pairings

# HTC Sense (If you use Sense - and I have suspicion this can cause conflicts, but not sure yet)*

# Bookmarks

# SMS/MMS/Apn

# E-mail account settings

# Wi-Fi Access Points

# SMS/MMS Prefs

# ALARMS​

- reboot

- enable google synchronization for contacts and calendar (I don't restore contacts with Titanium Backup since: 1. It's not necessary, 2. It causes FC on some migrations)

- restore all user apps+data from TB​

Always make nandroid backup along with TB backup. I also advise making nandroid backup after restoring everything mentioned above except HTC Sense and Widgets, and then try to restore those two (if needed).

Obviuos tip - selective restoring can be done by executing 'batch restore' and then selecting from the generated list.

When I got all that, I am happy with TB. I don't expect perfect Backup&Restore tool, since there are too much defragmentation in Android platform.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nukedukem:
Tasker can record a call, but it costs about $6. Well worth it if you want to do other tasks too. You can automate pretty much anything on your phone. It can be a little overwhelming at first because it's so customizable. It's free for a week if you just want to try it out.

And when I plug in my car charger I set tasker to automatically set incoming calls to speakerphone, max the display brightness, start my speedometer app, read all incoming texts out loud, and turn off the display timeout. Then when I unplug the car charger it all goes back to normal without a button pushed. And it has the bigger geebee's.

voice search crippled, 4g slow, slow keyboard input & FB sync probs. please verify

Title says it all. I have tried everything in my power and knowledge to fix these issues. details below.

1) My voice search used to call people in my contacts. now it won't do ANYTHING BUT search the spoken keywords in the browser. ive read that you must have your contacts in your google group and not in your phone group for this to work. It has worked for me before. This hardreset I put all my contacts in the phone group bc when fb will actually sync, i don't want to have 4030343 contacts syncing to my gmail account since this epic does not give you an option which contact groups to sync or export to a vcard (annoying). I am about to do my 5th hard reset to attempt to cure this newly arisen problem

2) I have had full 4g bars in the Austin, TX area and the fastest LOCAL speed test results would only achieve ~900kbits. Isn't this so called 4g (or pre 4g) supposed to be roughly 3000-4000kbits/sec? 3g is typically over 1000 around here...probably calling Sprint tomorrow about it or going by the store (and wait half my day away).

3) keyboard- love it but seems like when I type too fast my screen can not input the characters fast enough. Anyone else experience this?

4) as many ppl complained - my fb contacts won't sync. It happened once but I had to do a HR and 4 HRs and one pending later, no luck. Read it was FB servers on other phone forums.

Anyone have these issues? Any solutions? Please help. I am spending way too much time troubleshooting...and here comes my 5th HR. can't wait for ROMs so I can root and rid this evil touchwiz or whatever its called crap

I tested 4G in the Nashville area and consistently saw 3-5 Mbit/s. Looks like you might be in an emerging area there. Confirm response problems on keyboard. Once had contacts sync problem, they resolved themselves automatically.
