[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
Good info, guys. I have been considering Fresh 3.2...I have been reading that thread quite a bit.

Do you have to flash the kernel separately from the rom on 3.2??
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nebenezer:
Every rom haas it's own kernel, some come with modded custom kernels, others are just stock. As long as you make sure it's compatible with the rom you are using you can always flash a custom kernel later.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:
Some guy told me earlier that the first 10% of the EVO battery drains away quick, which mine does. You don't start juding battery like until 90%. Anyone else heard this?

I have tried several roms. cm6 is nice but too many issues right now ie 4g, hdmi, mms broken.

I finally found a good rom; check it out.

[ROM] VaelPak v2.0 (9/6/10) -NonSense -[HTC#7][BFS][OC][UV][FPSU] -3.28.651.1 OTA

This rom you can choose sense or aosp apps and 3 launchers which awd launcher is the only real choice. If you choose awd you might want to change the settings to scroll the apps vertical. And of course this being a htc rom it has the stock bluetooth stack.

I'm using the v2.0 with Kings BFS8 Kernel (9/6/10) -

Vaelpak is a good balance between sense and aosp. I use Launcherpro.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
I've seen several post to change your own boot animation pushing a bootanimation.zip via adb and several boot animations saved already as zips to be pushed to the phone, but having a ROM update.zip, is it possible to extract something to make a bootanimation.zip to export to other ROM?

For example, having some ROM X boot animation in your phone that has ROM Y, being X and Y two different ROMs.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
let me get this straight, You want to extract a boot animation from one rom and use it with another? if so thats simple, just unzip the rom that has the boot animation you want. and you will find the bootanimation.zip in either system/customise/resource or data/local.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AzureusPT:
In my case I've found it in /system/media/bootanimation.zip and wasnt directly found just unziping the ROM, I had to install it and mount it with adb to be able to see it...

Still thanks for the help!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bharata212:
If you plan to use it on your current rom and not planning to redistribute it, just use Root Explorer from the market.

Give the phone partition rw access and replace as you wish :)

[Captivate General] mike_terror:
My phone turned off by itself today while it was in my pocket, here are some information. The phone is also not rooted, no launchers have been used, and is currently using TouchWiz.

Purchased from AT&T Premier website on August 27th 2010

Delivered to me September 1st 2010

Manufacturing Date - August 2nd 2010

Battery Manufacturing Date - Not checked

Apps installed before shutoff experience:

Dictionary.com

Fandango Movies

The Moron Test Lite

WordUp

Google Voice

Speedtest.net

Barcode Scanner

Ninja Kaka - Fruit Dojo

Drop Block DEMO

Hella Umbrella Beta

PapiJump

Jewels

Unblock Me FREE

Smooth Calendar

GPS Test

1 Day/Night before I experienced the shutoff, the following were installed:

- Used my own wallpaper jpeg instead of one from the Captivate's stock wallpaper folder

- Beautiful Widgets

- AppBrain App Market

- Fast Web Installer

- Angry Birds Lite Beta (APK FILE, USED ANDROID CENTRAL'S SIDELOADER MACHINE)

- Paper Toss

I've had my phone for exactly 1 week, and after reading all the horror stories of people experiencing the random shut offs, I thought I was lucky up until now. I love this phone a lot despite the obvious GPS issues. Does anyone have any idea on what may be causing this? Hardware or Software issue?

I would hate to exchange it for another with AT&T since I've become so attached to it.
[Captivate General] kevrocks:
My phone randomly shut down within the first couple of days I had it too. However, it doesn't happen anymore.

I'm still not exactly sure what caused it. Here is what I can remember having differently before and now:

- Used the Grass live wallpaper; now, I'm using a static wallpaper

- Had a corporate exchange account synced; now, only syncing a Google account

And of course, I've been charing the phone more ever since I got it, so maybe the battery needs to "learn" something so that it doesn't automatically shut down?
[Captivate General] mike_terror:
thanks kevrocks, how long have you had your captivate btw?
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
There are a few threads here, including mine with the "Let's compare apps" theory http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=763956. No on has been able to figure it out. However, in my observation, I had my Use GPS Satellites turned off while I was away on vacation in Europe. In the 7 days I was away, my phone never turned off on me. That was last week. This week, it still hasn't turned off (knock on wood). Could that be the culprit?

Do your own test. Uncheck the "Use GPS Satellites" in the Location and Security menu. Check it when using Maps or Navigation but don't forget to Uncheck it when not in use. Observe for a week and see if you get the same results as I did.

Good luck.
[Captivate General] kevrocks:
It's been 1.5 weeks so far.
[Captivate General] esox23:
Mine did this also, when i called Samsung they explained to me that they don't know what the problem is that is causing this issue and that some users are experiecning it. They told me that I would need to send the phone in with Phone, Bat, and Bat Charger for a complete diagnostic overview. Unwilling to do this I just returned the phone for a different one. I'm thinking that if it happens it hardware and you are best off getting a replacement rather then messing with it.
[Captivate General] phlunkie:
Funny you mention location. I flashed jh2, latest sre, and tats lag fix yesterday. I was actually turning on my locations and my phone shutdown. I figured it was the oc kernel.

Had other random reboots/shutdowns after. Could have been the flash. Just fyi'ing.
[Captivate General] Cobra302:
mine shut off for the first time yesterday, this is my second, first returned for a loose battery cover and speaker issue. I'm hoping the phone doesnt continue to shut off. Ive spoken to ATT, and i'm kinda screwed right now if it ends up being a hardware issue with the phone. i'm past my 30 days.
[Captivate General] kevrocks:
Oh, I also performed a factory data reset, and I haven't gotten any random shutdowns ever since.

I also spoke with Samsung technical support, and the rep suggested to do a soft reset. This is where you remove the battery, clean the gold contacts on the phone and battery, and then reinsert the battery.
[Captivate General] Justinph5:
I've had mine since the first Thursday it was out. For the first week or two, it shut down about once a day. After that, I've never had a random shut down. Don't know why, I've played around with settings and apps since day one back and forth, so I don't believe its any certain setting or app. Maybe a part of the phone or build getting adjusted?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I remember read somewhere that this is actually a hardware flaw: the battery barely touches the PINs. So if there is any free play in the battery compartment, your phone will randomly loss contact with battery and hence shutdown. Exchange the phone seems to be the only solution. Or you can insert some paper on the other end of the battery to make sure it tightly presses against the PINs.

Mine never encounters this problem regardless how I mess with my phones (flashed firmware couple times and rooted, updated many many times).
[Captivate General] Divinedark:
It definitely reacts as if the power was removed from the phone. There is no power down screen or indication of rebooting. I have looked at the contacts on the battery, but my last phone made a perfect connection as far as I could tell.

If it is a hardware issue, then I'm perfectly okay with that. I could wire the battery directly to the phone and problem solved. I've also heard of people having a lot of luck buying the cheap chinese batteries for the phone off of ebay to correct their shut down issues. Maybe their connectors are pushed more toward the surface than the Samsung battery.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q426669:
Basically when I get a call, my ringtone starts quietly, and quickly increases the volume to max. (max being whatever you set as your ring volume.)

Does this happen on all of our phones? This was not an issue with my G1 AFAIRemember.

Thanks guys!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
Its not a bug, its a feature. However I do agree there needs to be toggle options for a lot of little things on this phone, ie: battery notifications.

So as of right now, no. We'll just have to hope Samsung throws a lot of changes into their Froyo update...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_wolf88:
All Samsung phones at least 4 which I had this feature so don't worry !
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dan0zone:
How exactly is this an issue ???? this is the 3rd or 4th thread I seen about this feature.... please explain .,.,,.,.,.,
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q426669:
I did search before I posted, I just did not see any relevant threads.

This is an issue because I personally dislike having this "feature". It was not a problem on my G1, and almost every other phone that I've used has it as a ringer option.

I checked all the service menu's hoping to find something relevant, to no avail lol.

Here's hoping CM fixes this =)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Big Dog KMc:
It is, for the most part a Samsung Thing. On all of the older samsung phones, The Ringer speaker was also the Ear piece Speaker. As well as the Speaker phone speaker.

That was done so when you put the phone to your ear and say an incoming call beats your out going call (Happens to me sometimes) The ringer does not damage your hearing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ld006:
the only work around for this so far is just to edit the ringtone and insert a few seconds of silence (2-3) in the beginning and then have the ringtone play out normally
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] q426669:
Thanks for the info guys. I will try adding a few seconds of extra sound to the front of my ringtones for now. :)

Maybe this will be fixed with a proper CyanMod lol
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thegreatcity:
I guess that gets rid of the fade-in, but it makes even less sense than before. Not really a practical solution to anything (not trying to flame). You're just going from your ringtone fading in, to not even hearing your phone ring for a few seconds.

I mean unless you like the first 2 seconds of your ringtone THAT much.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Greenarcher707:
That's an annoying feature regardless.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david2tm:
Hi guys,

Have a question for you...

I'm outside of US... I have private hosting on US soil... I've used it like ssh tunnel proxy on my Win7-PC (Socks5+Putty)

No the question. How can I run this proxy on Nexus One of mine. I want it for "App Market" (to see/buy not-free apps)
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
Much simpler - root your Nexus and use Market Access.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Acidictadpole:
In case there are other motives, you can still do it, but you need a rooted phone.

I know I have a proxy section in the networks and wireless, but it's possible its just a cyanogenmod app. That's where you'll want it though, you'll need to open an ssh tunnel using ssh -D (never done this, but this is how you do it on traditional linux) and then localport:remotehost:remoteport. After that you log in, and your tunnel is made!

So a command for opening up a local proxy on port 8118 to myproxy.org on port 22 (ssh) would look like

ssh -D 8118:myproxy.org:22

You then set your local proxy to 127.0.0.1 on port 8118 and all your traffic goes through your established ssh tunnel.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david2tm:
Well, I want market to think that I'm in US too. For updated version of Maps app - for example
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david2tm:
I've rooted stock froyo. And there's no proxy option in my Wireless & Network.

1. How can I get this app (?) w/o cyanogenmod?

2. where do I type ssh commands? [I'm not a Linux guy]

*. I wish my wireless router had the option to share "proxyfied" connection....
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
That's exactly what you get, I guess you never tried. Market recognizes provider's MCC and MNC, and SSH tunneling won't help you even a little bit. On the other hand, Market Enabler / Market Access allow faking MCC and MNC to match any supported provider for paid markets.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david2tm:
I'll try it right now
[Desire General] Imperium:
Battery consumption is going trough the roof lately..

Can someone tell me if it is normal to go from 56% to 28% in an hour of surfing and listening to music? (see screenshots) Screen brightness is 10% and just surfing, no downloading from the market etcetera..

I think it's unacceptable.. Took my phone from the charger 7:30 this morning, i charged it at work from 50 to 60% in the afternoon.

Current charge is 17%.

I already changed my ROM (clear cache, dalvik, storage) and radio but it doesn't seem to help at all...

I ordered a replacement battery for only 10 euro at ebay so i hope it will solve the issue..

Also, is there a known fix for the 90% charge on wakeup? It's rather annoying.
[Desire General] !PANDA:
Yep thats 3G for you.. I've just been doing the same fir about 10 and already a 15% drop.. at least yiu can change the battery unlike the iPhone..

xx
[Desire General] Imperium:
That's ridiculous.. Are you telling me it's normal to drop a percent per minute when actually using the device? (happened to me the other day)
[Desire General] couchpotato7:
Yeah I hear you. This phone has absolutely pathetic battery life. Even worse than an iPhone! Even using SetCPU to underclock it has little effect.

Just 10 minutes after unplugging it from the charger its at 94%. Another 10 minutes later its at 89.

Disturbing.
[Desire General] rolfd:
If you are sure you don't have an app running in the background, or a badly coded app draining your battery, I'd try THIS. I get around 48 hours of medium use on a full charge.

Calibrating the battery made a massive difference to me.
[Desire General] Imperium:
I forgot to mention that in fact i did calibrate my battery. Twice. Already 6% down in 10 minutes as we speak.
[Desire General] Jgruar:
Im not trying to be rude but im assuming you have checked all your settings & applications for wakelock bugs and syncing related stuff?

You should roughly have ~1% per hour consumption when idling(screen off).

Try typing *#*#INFO#*#* and see battery history for any abnormalities, like way higher "running" % than "screen on" %. They should be pretty much equal.
[Desire General] Imperium:
Yes i checked all those things numerous times also no abnormalities in applications sucking up all the juice.

I think we can conclude the battery(consumption) just sucks monkey balls.
[Desire General] rolfd:
When your battery is fully charged go to phone and type the following. *#*#4636#*#* then tap battery information. It should say battery health good, and then Battery voltage. What doe that read?

I'd also try calibrating the battery again, following the instructions to the letter. If all else fails I'd try a factory reset and run it at stock for a while to test and ensure you don't have a rogue app.

One thing I'd say about your cheap replacement battery. They are never going to be nearly as good as an original, as they are mostly poorly made and deliberately wrongly labelled to make them look like they are high powered, and at worst can be dangerous. Just be careful with that one.

I really can't understand why you would have such poor battery life. I'm happilly getting at least 48 hours with mine. I have wifi and data enabled all the time, use it a lot for twitter, make a few calls, and send texts.

Anyway, good luck and let me know how you get on.
[Desire General] Imperium:
Cheers for your reply,

I checked using *#*#4636#*#* and nothing out of the ordinary to be honest.

When fully charged it's around 4100mV so that should be ok as well.

About the cheap battery, it's from E-cell in the UK and my previous purchases were of good quality. So will see if it's crap or not ;)
[Desire General] venkig:
Having the same issue as you. Bought my phone 5 days back and I calibrated the battery too. No sneaky app trying to drain the battery.

Will wait for couple of days and then as suggested will reset the phone to factory settings and then check.

I did a search and found out what quick office was but if I uninstall it will there be any negative side effects to using the phone? I mean I dont edit any word documents or anything like that so it pretty much seems usless to me. But I want to be sure before deleting it lol just incase it holds the copy past formula or something. Basicly it might somehow be linked to how the phone responds to all text, text message, email anything. I am not sure and that is why I am asking.

Yes, you can uninstall QuickOffice without any repercussions, aside from the fact that you will no longer be able to use it :D

I bought Docs-To-Go last year (well worth the money if you have any need for an office suite) and QuickOffice is always in the first group of apps I delete on a new rom.

Also, having DocsToGo makes the PDF viewer kind of redundant for me, thats another app I always remove. But if you don't have a replacement then you should keep it, a PDF viewer can be very useful.

I am a noob in this android scene. The most closest experience I have had to this is moding PSP's(done so many can't count) bricked and unbricked as well. :D

I got my SGS this week and the first day itself i started to see how i can make it better.(had seen a lot of vid in youtube). Some problems i faced initially was:

1. the 3 key hold to go into recovery mode just wont work for me so i used the easy reboot recovery script.

2. Intially i tried a couple of roots which would give me errors like it failed to run. The phone came with DDJG4 and i was able to get Superuser 2.3.1 was able to update SU database to V5 from android market.

3. Installed Ryan ZA lagfix 1.6.0 from market and now I am able to get a quadrant score of 2172. Earlier it was around 900.

What I want to do now is to have 2.2 froyo on it. I want feedback as well as help. Feedback as in is it worth it? How do I goto 2.2 custom and which one? where do i get rom and which custom one to go for. I have been seeing so much of stuff on the internet that i am a little too much confused.
