[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
so when can this issue be addressed that there seems to be a big memory leak on this phone? id love to see another gumbo kernel like we had for 1.5. that seemed to really free up alot of ram on this phone. anybody else notice how low the ram gets at times? :mad:
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Its all these new terrible kernels. The older kernels were simply OC, UV and touch input worked most of the time perfectly. If it didnt it was only a 1-2sec unlocking screen delay. Which is MUCH better then a F-in memory leak.

I left this forum for about 2 months and the kernels didnt get better, they got worse.

And im not talking about kernels for CM. Just the ones made for the sense based roms.
[Hero CDMA General] fixxxer2008:
id love to see a gumbo kernel for 2.1, we need it. the kernels we have are fast but my memory is too low and the phone draws to a crawl at times, i have to restart it. i love android but sometimes i think about getting another palm pre, it's close to android and i can overclock it to 1ghz. now. too bad that phone is soo damn outdated. other than that i love the hero, longest phone ive owned next to the touch vogue. next move for me is the evo or epic.
[Hero CDMA General] Jus10o:
Its just a memory leak in the kernel. Probably not real hard to fix. And no one is focusing on fixing it because everyone jumped to aosp roms that dont have it..

Im currently on the Evo and I love it. There are a couple ppl that release kernels and only kernels, they treat it like they would a rom and update them.

I just got my new captivate the other day and i noticed i am only getting a small portion of my pop3 emails on my server I have over 80 emails and my phone only has 25, is there a fix for this?

The installed email client seems to keep 1 week of pop3 email and automatically ages it off machine. I see no way to change this.

Can anyone tell me how to disable Googlevoice from updating in background

i disabled the sync in background but it still does it, the only way to disable it is if i disable background sync for everything but then that keeps me from using the market, i asked this elsewhere but no one seems to be able to answer it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] UberGoat:
I'm unaware of a way to disable Google Voice sync. It should initially sync after install within a matter of seconds. You mean you don't want to be notified of any new texts or voicemails? I don't see why you would want that, but you may just have to uninstall the application to avoid that, not entirely sure.

i have all my texts come in an sms cause i have unlimited texting but only 200mb of data, everytime a text comes in it also gets updated on GV which i dont want since its eating my data
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
ok i have looked for an hour now and no fix.

i am trying to flash splash 1 on my evo. i have done this before with no issues.

now when i try to flash the image it hangs on "waiting on device"

if i try command "fastboot devices"

it gives me nothing and put me back at tools folder

any ideas????

cm6

snap with turbo

hboot .76

anything else you need to know just ask
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Let me get clearer on your situation. Are you booted into the bootloader prior to executing the flash?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
Yeah tried using volume down and power. And using reboot bootloader via cm6

Thanks for the help
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigrushdog:
Are you having trouble accessing bootloader? Perhaps try Quickboot off the market
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beastmods:
No I can access bootloaxer, recovery EVERYTHING except fastboot commands do not work. Cmd fastboot devices gives me nothing.
[Captivate Accessories] JayPhill89:
Just got this case in the mail to day and it is the best I've had yet.

The other 2 were black and blue cheap $1 cases and lasted me until this current one shipped (10 days going 16k+ miles)

The black one ended up being flimsy and smooth. The blue was more firm but sticky. This "gel" case is very smooth, tight, and good looking. I couldn't ask for a better fit.

I was very interested in Amzer cases and I think you'd be paying the full markup price for $9.99, this one is a decent deal. Searching "BLACK GEL CASE COVER SKIN FOR SAMSUNG CAPTIVATE I897" on eBay will give you tons of results for the same case.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
I'm currently in a AT&T Family Plan and my line has the old unlimited data plan. While my wife was in the local AT&T store buying a new Blackberry Torch, I was checking out the Captivate and really loved what I saw.

So I started talking to the AT&T guy, asking about data plans and such if I was to update my phone now. He stated that if I bought the Captivate I wouldn't be able to keep my old unlimited data plan, and that I'd have to either change to the 200MB or 2GB data plan. Is this really true, or is the rep just trying to get me into one of the new plans?

Also, I'm curious about the Captivate's GPS - the box states it's aGPS. Now I know this can mean a few things, but I'm curious if the Captivate has a "real" GPS chip in it, or does the Captivate's aGPS just use cell tower triangulation for navigation purposes?

I thought I'd get other's opinions before actually getting the phone - which I really do want! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KCutrer1:
I think either the rep is trying to trick you, or he may just not know. When I bought my Captivate I was able to keep my existing unlimited plan, so I'd assume it'd apply to you as well. And yes the GPS receiver is actual GPS, however there are some issues with it at the moment (problems with holding a lock and tracking, etc.), and Samsung is trying to fix them.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Thanks - maybe I can just go to another AT&T store, as there's a few around me and see if the reps give me the same "you must change data plan" story.

I've read about the GPS issues, and it seems some have them and some don't. I also see there's a couple fixes for the Captivate's GPS issue, but do they really work? The GPS feature is something I really want/need, as I'm not planning on buying a standalone GPS as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
That's a lie. When i purchased my Captivate on my renewal, i ended up having to call AT&T directly as they wouldn't give me the deal price in the store and when the representative on the phone tried to sell me on one of their new plans, i immediately said, "No.. i want the unlimited plan transferred to the Captivate from my iPhone." It took him a few minutes of putting on hold to talk to his supervisor to come back and tell me it was done. So don't believe the AT&T rep in the store, they're probably told to tell you it's not possible. I'm telling you it is.

Remember.. once the unlimited plan is gone.. you can't get it back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Okay, this jogs my memory a bit now. The rep did say that if I was coming from an iPhone that I could keep my unlimited plan, otherwise I'd need to get one of the new plans. I currently have a HTC Advantage, but a Motorola Razr is showing up on my account as my current phone - which I was using until I got the Advantage, but obviously not from AT&T.

So even with the above would I still be able to retain my current unlimited data plan? I just want to have my ducks in a row before going back to the AT&T store.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terrigan:
I would call AT&T on the phone and inquire. I don't know about that, I had an iPhone and they didn't give me a hard time at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Okay, just got off the phone with AT&T. According to the rep, if I previously had a "smartphone" with the unlimited data plan then I could keep that plan. But unfortunately my old Motorola Razr was not classified as a smartphone, and I'd need to choose one of the 2 new data plans available if I got the Captivate. :( And they're not able to back-date the IMEI number of the HTC Advantage.

So do you guys with the 2GB data plans come close to exceeding that at all? I'm now beginning to wonder if I should drop AT&T and go with another carrier for unlimited data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Depends on how you use the phone

If you are jumping ship for a different carrier do it soon. I know for a fact Verizon will be doing that soon from a friend that works there. T-Mobile doesn't have a "cap" but they may as well, you get throttled after you use so much bandwidth. I don't know about Sprint, but if you are in a 4G Sprint area, that may be your best bet. The Epic is supposed to be the best Galaxy S phone.

Over the past 10 months, I have only had one month less than 2GB, at 1.4GB. My max was 4.8GB, and it appears I average about 3GB. My wife on the other hand, ranged from 90MB to 550MB, with most months at around 250MB. We both use our phones a lot. We both had iPhones until the Captivate came out. Once we switched to the Captivate both our data usages spiked. The difference is HOW we use our phones. We both use the web, a lot. But I stream Pandora almost daily for hours at work, and I download a lot of Podcasts. Sometimes I download podcasts on my phone when I am home even though I have WiFi just so I feel like I am getting my $$ from AT&T.

Sure you can survive on the new $15 data plan, but I wouldn't do it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
If I was to stick with AT&T I'd definately get the $25 2GB data plan. Unfortunately AT&T isn't offering any higher data plans - even for business users!

If I did drop AT&T, I was thinking about Sprint and the HTC EVO (for the larger screen). But I just checked Sprint's 4G coverage for the west coast, and it's very slim. So Verizon would be my other option. I'll talk to the wife and see what she thinks. I'd definately be paying more for service by leaving my current AT&T Family Plan though, so that's something I need to consider as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] projectpaki:
I am in a similar predicament as I have an unlimited non-smartphone data plan that I am still using. Recently I put my sim into my friends Captivate to see if it would still work. I lose internet on some programs will retain it on others. For example, Google Maps works and connects fine, but FriendsStream does not, and most if not all widgets. The Android browser also doesnt work, but there is a workaround (Opera Mini). I'm always surfing the web, and like someone said earlier I stream music from Pandora about 6 hours a day, and I feel bad for my friends who have the capped plan when I see them run like roaches when we are at a WiFi available restaurant. I dont know if the 2GB plan will be enough for me.

I currently have my non-smartphone plan on my blackberry, and although I cant use BB apps like BBM, or the BB Browser... Opera Mini does the job, and 3rd Party apps including Google maps and Pandora work fine. I miss out on not being able to use some cool apps because of this, but the Captivate for sure is an internet-friendly phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DemonWav:
Funny part is, AT&T is the only carrier with a truly unlimited data plan. (If you still have the unlimited data plan that is) Verizon, T-mobile, Sprint, all of their "unlimited" data plans are capped at 5gb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nuwayman:
I just got my captivate a week ago. They never said i had to change my data plan if upgrading. My unlimited plan just carried over. I switched from the htc pure.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
If AT&T had your HTC Pure indicated on your account previously, then you're good to go. Unfortunately when I got my HTC Advantage, I never called in to get the IMEI switched over. Now that's hurting me because I want to upgrade and keep the unlimited plan. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gary_lankford:
I had a Samsung A-737 (not a smart phone) and the $15 unlimited data plan. When I upgraded at an AT&T store, I was not allowed to keep that plan; I decided to go with the 2 gb, $25 plan. Additional usage is charged at $10/gb.

Though I'm sure I went over in the first month, for some reason AT&T was not able to track my usage. This second month, I'm approaching my limit; I've downloaded a lot of apps and other files, watched quite a number of youtube videos, surfed a lot, but I never stream audio, preferring to play from my own collection.

Regardless of whether 2gb is enough, having to watch data usage is a hassle... If, somehow, you can keep your unlimited plan as others have, that would be preferable. My counsel is to not give in so easy as I did. Perhaps, try upgrading by phone, direct to AT&T.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
The bad part is anything over 2GB is charged the extra $10, even a byte over will be charged extra.

Yeah, I tried this as well to no avail.

Though what's interesting is that I've been using my phone's SIM card in my Alienware M11x laptop (with the Gobi WWAN card) for data when WiFi isn't available. And it doesn't seem like the laptop's data usage is being recorded by AT&T for some reason. :confused: If that's the case, then maybe the 2GB plan just for the Captivate won't be an issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gluvox:
This is my second month with the Captivate on the 2gig plan. The first billing cycle was only 2 weeks and I totaled 465mb. Not bad, I though; I figured I could keep it under 2 gigs. However, two weeks into this billing cycle I got a warning message from att that I was nearly at my limit. I have no idea how I could have used 2000mb in two weeks. I don't stream anything and I kill tasks that might use background data. Even so, 2gigs is a lot.

This was my first smartphone. I truly regret signing on with ATT for two years. If I could do it again, I'd go with T-Mobile for the Vibrant or Sprint with the Epic (which wasn't out yet when I got my phone).

ATT's plan is a rip-off.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
Still better than AT&T's 2GB data plan, for not much more money. :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brynn85:
Ordered ours over the phone (after lots of hassle to get them to cave and allow an early upgrade from the 3GS) and it seems our unlimited data carried over. However, I didn't put in the new SIM they sent or "activate" it as they say to do... was worried it would require changing the data plan.

A couple months ago my iPhone 3gs got stolen and I had to use a razr as a backup phone for a couple weeks. They removed my unlimited data and changed me to unlimited Media Net... When I called to inquire and be sure I could change back over to unlimited smart phone data with no problem, they assured me there would be no hassle and they'd note the account. When I did get another iPhone, it actually ended up taking me about an hour on the phone with several reps that went through a few managers to get them to put my unlimited smart phone data package back on. They argued over whether they should be allowed to do it or not :-/ So I'm worried about losing it again, even though I actually don't even use much data at all in reality (I don't have 3g in my area, just EDGE, and I'm often around wifi... but just never know when I may need that unlimited :P )
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] natedog75:
Keeping Your Unlimited Data Plan

I was able to keep my unlimited data plan on AT&T. I had an iPhone which i gave to my wife when her Blackberry broke. I acquired an old Blackberry Bold 8800 from work to use until I got ready to upgrade. I moved jobs and had to return the phone. Stuck my SIM card in an old LG flip phone for the weekend until i was able to get to a store to upgrade. The rep switched me over to a 200 MB plan without saying anything. When I checked my features online the next day as I never trust the sells reps, I found the change. I immediately called AT&T. The cust. serv. rep began to explain that since I had switched from a smartphone to a non-smartphone I was no longer eligible to continue my Unlimited Data plan. I immediately asked for a manager. Within a few short mins I had my Unlimited Data Plan restored. I believe if you press them hard enough they will give in. It may take a call to AT&T customer service waiting for a manager and making your case, but he seemed ready to help and didn't want to lose a customer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rambler358:
I've spoke to 2 different reps and each time they spoke to their managers. Unless your unlimited data plan was previously on a iPhone, then they won't (they specifically said can't) switch you over.

This is the main reason I think I'm going over to Sprint, as well as moving the wife over once her contract is up this December. Oh well, it's AT&T's loss not mine.

[HTC Aria General] unteagle:
I just installed the latest version of CM6 and I think the nandroid backup or something took up a huge chunk of my internal storage (maybe), but i went from about 80MB of internal storage to 15MB, then moved all my apps to my sd card and now i still only have 25MB, with 645MB on my sd card

i dont think this is normal, right?

can someone suggest ways of how to free up some internal storage space? idk what is safe to mess with and what isn't
[HTC Aria General] ocswing:
Were ROM did you flash over? An older version of CM6 or something else? Did you remember to wipe both the cache and dalvik? If you made a nandroid backup it should go to the SD card, not internal storage. It isn't normal for the mem to be that low. I'm not sure what you should do, but I'd recommend reflashing and make sure you do all the wipes.

If you have a windows PC, insert the SD card into the PC or use a card reader and just do an error check (right click on the drive > tools > error checking. Has worked for me in the past in situations like you are experiencing.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytsejam_:
+1 for me. This happened to me a couple of times, and almost went crazy the first time. But error checking on a windows PC really did the trick. Be careful though. make sure your nandroid backup is still intact if the error check finds some corrupted files in the SD and attempts to fix it.. better sure than sorry.

Hi,

Here is my first theme. This is mostly to pimp out the status/notification bar on the droid 2. The zip file contains instructions. Mostly just a bunch of stuff ive/found stolen from other themes and some elements of my own. Let me know how you like it. The services.jar replacement can be dangerous so you should know what youre doing. The theme itself should be ok. You will need Metamorph and root of course.

Current version: 0.7 - Download Here

I just wanted to know if it will affect anything else. SOOOOOO many times i see people "make" their own theme and swear up and down that something wont affect another and it does, so again thanks for the vague instructions and really helping out with nothing.
