[Fascinate Android Development] Zacking:
I have been trying to root my fascinate using this method for the last 2 days with no luck. I have done everything different people have suggested to make it work, but no luck. Does anybody have any suggestions or has anyone been successful lately? Please help thank you in advance!

It's telling me device not found, and when my phone is restarting it says device not found and the phones not back on yet. I thought that it was supposed to wait until the phone boots and then finish.
[Fascinate Android Development] PhoenixPath:
disconnect usb. Disable usb debugging. Change the mount/sync setting in usb settings. Reboot phone. Change back to original sync/mount settings and re-enable usb debugging. Install Samsung drivers on pc. Plug usb cord into different port on pc, then plug phone in.
[Fascinate Android Development] jwhite2005:
I just got the Cellular South Fascinate running 2.1. Will this root process work. I rooted my HTC Hero and I have a working ADB. just trying to figure out how to do the Fascinate. All i want is SU not really worried about Custom Roms right now maybe later..

Here is some info on the phone:

Firmware version: 2.1-update1

Baseband Version: S:i500.04 K.DJ20

during the "starting" process, my phone shows an error

com.google.process.gapps has an error and with an option Force Close and my phone just freezes. This didn't happen before because I've already rooted my phone and unrooted back because my SD card blanked out. Now, I'm trying to root again but these problems are occuring
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] robinkiefer:
:confused:OK, maybe I'm in the wrong place but hopefully someone can help me or direct me to the right place. I have a Samsung Captivate. I downloaded FBreader app so I can read ebooks in epub format. I don't want Kindle and from reviews I read, FBreader is better than Aldiko or Laputa.

#1. Where do I go to buy ebooks (latest booksbest sellers, etc.)?

#2. How do I download them to my PC then transfer to my external SD memory card in my phone? Or/And

#3. How do I download directly from my phone to the SD card and this use the app to read?

Thanks in advance for your help, Fellow Droiders.

p.s. I DO have Kies installed. How/Can I use that for syncing ebooks from PC to phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jeromekobriger:
When I first started learning Android, I had to experiment with a few different kinds of ebook readers. I previously had a Tilt that I loaded Incubus' Froyo on, and that was the only thing I ever read books on.

FBreader never really did quite work right for me, I ended up using the free version Wordplayer. It seems to work the fastest, has a lot of nice options, and doesn't screw up the formatting of the text. I read about 20 books on the tilt, and now that I've got a Captivate, I've read six on this device using Wordplayer.

As far as where to buy books, that's a matter of searching Google. I haven't bought any epub books myself, I've just been converting my old .lit ebooks using Calibre.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mtritsch:
I never had any luck with FBReader I know it does not get good reviews but I have liked Aldiko that I even purchased the premium version of it. I was getting my books from Barnes and Noble in epub format but the only thing that it would play on without decrypting the files is their Nook software which is fine in its self but my other collection of books that I did not get from Barnes and Noble I import them with Aldiko. One nice thing about the nook software is that you can do it all on your phone and never have to worry about the PC as it will load the book on your phone directly

Hope this helps

I ve read that those replacement new vibrants with hardware keys disabled wont get in to download mode once you are stuck on that computer and the phone icon screen. There is no way to get out of it am i right?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
anyone?....
[Vibrant General] redwolf313k:
I replaced my phone because of that and I couldn't get it back to download mode.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
were you rooted and what rom did you have on? and does tmobile care if you have custom rom and if the phone is rooted?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
wow you guys are jerks.... why cant you reply
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
I guess you just answered your own question. :p

Really, though, this question has been answered a hundred times on this very forum. Maybe people are tired of new threads popping up constantly asking other people to take time to do research for people that obviously can't be bothered to do it for themselves. Search first, then ask if you can't find an answer...preferably in a relevant existing thread instead of creating 10 new ones. The other users of this forum aren't here to be your free research monkeys.

...and again, insulting people isn't going to make them want to help you. If you want people to be friendly and considerate you need to give that back...it's a 2-way street. Nobody here is being paid.

*prepares to be flamed by the OP...again*
[Vibrant General] AustinKnight45:
If you have root then you can use adb to get into download mode by typing "reboot download mode", if you don't have root then you can't use adb.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
yea i have root but the phone is stuck on the computer screen and my computer wont recognize it
[Vibrant General] p()()pypants:
are you retarded???

you obviously share the same sickness as the OP "cantgoogleshitaphobia"

you can too use adb without root, how do you think people locked out of hardware recovery are even getting rooted in the first place? (and dont say one click root cause if you knew anything then youd also know that program uses adb as well)

the only thing you have to do to get adb to work is turn on usb debugging and have good drivers installed.

to the OP just cause you ask a question dont mean crap, you dont come in demanding a response to a question that has been answered time and time again in this very forum. I usually find posts like these and still help out with a link if its already on my subscribe list but your just an ass for the way youve gone about it, sorry not everyone works within your mighty time frame
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
ok i get your point but just tell me this is there anyway to unbrick my phone? i have tried all the methods
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
So how many phones have you messed up now?
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
only this one
[Vibrant General] n00bish:
If your phone is on the phone != computer screen and you can't enter download mode via the volume keys - you're bricked. You can't fix it unless you can enter download mode, and some versions of the phone you can't enter download or recovery modes via any keypresses. Since you're on the phone != computer screen, you also can't connect to the phone with ADB - so you're boned like a few other people here.

[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
ok thanks. i was just frustrated and nervous but tmobile is sending me another one. this phone was on vibrant rom and rooted if they find out is there going to be a issue? i am thinking that only way to get back is flashing stock odin again and once they do that it wont be rooted again. so i should be good. what do you think.
[Vibrant General] lrobles787:
Yes should flash the original rom cuz if Tmo find out they are going to make u paid the original price of the phone not the discount or insurance price either. Reason I know cuz I know several people that work with Tmo corporate store not affiliate stores.
[Vibrant General] Apexsilverevo:
I am fairly new here but how can you flash with odin if you can't get in DL mode? And if you could flash stock, why didn't you in the first place and start over? Just tossing out some ideas.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] applecaprice:
I've had the phone since Sept 6th and this is 4th day I have my phone.

My battery life has been draining like crazy. I don't have a data plan, but I do go on wifi sometimes (not very often, and I don't keep it on for long). Maybe in total an hour to two a day.

I wouldn't say I am a heavy user, I don't play any games or watch any videos nor listen to music at all. I only sms and download apps.

It's been 5h 42m 35s since unplugged and my battery life is down to 57. I hardly use it, my settings are pretty much the lowest.

It says

Android System 40%

Cell standby 21%

Phone idle 13%

Display 12% (weird, since I have animations are turned off and I used lowest brightness)

Camera 6% (I took 3 photos)

Wifi 4%

Maps 2%

Dialer 2%

about 2 hours ago, I rooted my desire since I've read reviews that it makes it faster, prolongs battery life and what not. (plus I could do so much more with it later on). But my battery was still draining at like 1% every minute and half that I touch it. (I also have task killer, but I don't kill task very often)

Then my friend suggested I get SetCPU (which I did) around 2 hours ago after I rooted my phone. Then I went out and hardly touched the phone unless I received sms, or to check the time. And it went from like 69 to 56 (within that 2 hours of doing nothing)

I've searched the forum for extending battery life (and googled as well) and read other users who have the same problem, and I pretty much did what was recommended but it's still draining.

I can hardly make it through the day!!

Is there any other way that I can charge it (when to charge it) or.. do you think it might be my battery's problem? Should I buy a new one?

Thanks for all the help again (I know this kind of thread has already been done, but that was in like April)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
Your battery takes time to settle if it's a brand new device. It takes a few charge/discharge cycles for that.

If after say 14 days you are still getting poor life I'd try calibrating it. Instructions are HERE.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] applecaprice:
thanks! i will try that if my battery life still drains this crazily in a week.
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
The "Battery Use" reported by Android is completely out of whack on my Epic. It's the one under "Settings" and then "About phone."

For example, it's listing "Voice calls" as accounting for 83% of my battery use with 3h24m29s of time on. I know for a fact I've only talked on it for ~5min today. In fact, I was curious as to why it was showing 34 mins when I checked it at noon so I kept checking it, and by 12:15, it was showing 1h35m! Totally bizarre, not to mention most of the other battery usage times are off too, including a cell standby time that's shown to be longer than the time that the phone's been on.

Anyone else having this issue?
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
Haven't noticed this yet, but I'll keep an eye out for it. Out of curiosity, the battery drain isn't any different though, right? Your battery isn't being drained as if you talked on the phone for 4 hours?
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
Honestly I can't say. My battery life has been horrendous from the first day I got the phone. Have yet to make it through an entire workday with it. That is even when it just sits in standby when I'm at work. I don't know if that has anything to do with this usage indicator issue. But I went to the local Sprint store today. They didn't really know what was going on so they gave me a new battery to try out. I will report back if anything's changed.
[Epic 4G General] herbthehammer:
Make sure you condition it real good. Like for the first week, give it a full charge then use it until it dies. I've done that and ran the battery until dead on purpose about three times the first couple days. If the battery is good, the life should get better and more stable. Also I suspect that, after speaking to the dev of battery indicator pro, some brands and models of phones report a ballpark figure and some are just about right on the money. My battery has noticably improved after these full powering cycles and topping off a few times after full.
[Epic 4G General] lordcyrus:
Well, hopefully that fixes it. I've talked to a few people who have gotten amazing battery life using JuiceDefender to automate turning the 3G connection on and off, which people seem to all agree is the biggest battery killer sans display, and they are claiming going from 100% battery to 95% battery overnight, 2AM to 10AM.

If I leave my phone alone for an hour I will lose that much, and that's with the same JD settings. Then again, even with my EVO I found JD to be nearly worthless. Right now it's claiming 2.11x more battery life, but if it equates to anything in actuality I might be gaining 10 or 15 minutes. Maybe.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Mine is the same way. It sits on standby most of the day. But it still eats up the battery and the phone is always warm.
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
If 3G sucks as much battery as suspected, then google needs to put a button for it into the Power Control Widget (1 of my favorites).
[Epic 4G General] ort84:
Sounds like you are suffering from that bug where the phone is always looking for a gsm signal instead of just locking into what it works with cdma.

Press and hold the power button, select airplane mode. Let it sit in airplane mode for a minute and then repeat above steps to disable airplane mode.

Your time without signal should drop significantly thus resulting in a cool phone and much better battery life.

You need to do this every time you reboot the phone by the way. This bug should hopefully be worked out with the froyo update.
[Epic 4G General] bojackson63044:
Reporting back after new battery and factory reset - still broken. "Battery use" says "Cell Standby" has been on for 20mins after the phone's only been on for 11mins. Seems to be an Android or Touchwiz problem.

Still waiting to see if the new battery will carry it through a 8hr work day. If that doesn't work, then I'm trading it in for an EVO. Too bad since I really liked the physical keyboard on the Epic.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Yep, problem I have is where I live I dont get any signal. I end up roaming thus causing the radio to kill the battery extremely fast. Last night i put the phone In airplane mode and let it charge. Phone cooled down even though it was charging.

So unless I get better signal without Roaming or I move I guess I am just stuck with not being able to use my phone at home or at work.
[Epic 4G General] surveysays:
on mine my battery meter is all off also. my battery widget shows that my phone its at like 40% while my icon in my notification bar is pretty much full like it would be only at 70%... its not even more than half gone. so I know there is an issue with how my phone reads the battery or something
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stixzadinya:
When I download images from my gmail account it automatically saves to a folder called "download" and the files are automatically named "downloadfile," "downloadfile-1," "downloadfile-2" and so on. I would then move and rename the images I've downloaded into a different file to be more organized. BUT, when I download a new image from gmail, it appears in my Gallery as the image that was downloaded previously that shared the same "downloadfile" name. When I click on the image, the previous image appears for a second before the current image is shown. When I back out to tile view, the previous image appears again.

I've tried deleting the "download" folder but a new folder gets created when I download an new image and I still experience the same issue.

Has anyone else experienced this? How do I fix?

I've never installed a theme on my Nexus yet but I have on my older Motorola Cliq, and I can't exactly remember the process of reverting back to stock without a nandroid...

so 2 questions

If I go the MetaMorph way, how do I go back to stock?

same thing goes for flashing an update.zip btw.

I'm on CM6 stable
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Stock morph that pushes the stock files.

Same goes for update.zip.

Since both have a high likelihood of not being in existence, you'll be better off with nandroid.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lance713:
Thank you. Can I somehow back up those files before the flash?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
If you know exactly what files you're morphing (by looking at the morph and checking which files it modifies) - yes, you can back them up using ADB.

I wonder if that HTC keyboard mod is really designed for the CDMA hero running froyo? It FC's the moment I try to load it. That sounds more like a complete incompatibility issue rather than being just "buggy". Do you know where you got it from?
