[Droid Eris General] DroidVicious:
I got a Droid

Yeah same thing for me, I was going on either Eris # 5 or 6 I can't keep track anymore.. But every phone same problem usb to trackball issue. I never had the silent call problem, but I did have problems when the last Eris radio was released in July the phone would cut off in the middle of a call with a chime, then about 5 to 10 seconds then a chime again and would reconnect. I'm not sure if this is the silent call issue or not but whatever... I called VZW up and nicely explained that I purchased the original Eris on February 6th 2010 and and in a matter of pretty much 8 months I have like 5 replacements. I loved Android, I wanted to stay with an Android device I just can't go through another Eris.. I don't really but I told them I use it for business as well and I need something much more reliable.. I even offered to pay for a phone I just wanted a discounted price.. The girl I got on the phone transfered me to tech support then I got a dude and it turned out he was pretty cool!!! Luckily!!!! I asked for a refurb that I can pay for at a discounted price and he told me he would if okay with me send me a Motorola Droid BUT the only thing was I had to pay for the battery and the backing.. So I agreed and that's what I did.. The battery he sold me for like $29.99 and the backing he sold me for $4.99.. I aslo paid for the over night delivery for like $6.00 I think... I actually got it last Friday a week ago today!!!!!!!!! I just rooted it and installed Clockwork like yesterday hahaha.. I was itching to get it done sooner but I was in the middle of a pretty big move.. Anyways good luck to everyone, VZW is a great company.. They are better then everyone else!!

I Got a Eris

And it'll still out cute your new phone ;) ... but that's about it LOL
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
So, I have successfully bricked my phone (not by choice). I am a long time WinMo user and I have never even come close to bricking a phone. Today was exactly one week from when I bought my first android phone and I bricked it.(not blaming android, I love android)

I have tried EVERYTHING, to no avail.

My phone is on the phone++!++computer screen.

So, first thing tomorrow morning, I am headed to the AT&T store for replacement (I will act dumb and get the phone).

My questions are -

1.Will my information (contacts,emails,etc.) on the phone be checked or in any way violated?

2.If they do find out that I had rooted the phone, after I have already walked out of the store, can they do anything about it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TehDave:
1: Yes, the contacts and all other data on the phone itself is still there, and will all still be there when Samsung / AT&T *un-bricks* the phone.

2: They "could", but I am not knowledgable enough to know if they "will".

Or, save yourself the hassle, and the negative moral karma, and read here:

xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

I've intentionally (with much failure), tried to "break" the phone so that I'd know how to fix it.

The above linked post will not only recover you from your "phone++!++computer" issue, but actually works so far as the dreaded "orange hex dump".
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I have tried everything. I don't want to return this phone, but there is no option left.

None of the methods work and I am pretty experienced in this stuff. So, its not that I am messing up on the methods, its just that there was a batch of phones that had the key combos disabled.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ukulele_ninja:
Once you get the new phone there is nothing they can do because they have already agreed to replace it. All they do with it is send it off to be refurbished and it is completely wiped clean. I agree with the others that you have not tried *everything* because I have yet to read a post on any forum about a legitimate bricking of this phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamonkey:
I can tell you that by flashing ONLY the pit file in odin another user and myself were able to succesfully make the phone unresponsive to all buttons, all methods and all pulls of the battery. it literally turned into a brick...then again i would call this an illegitimate method after realized how simple it is now. as long as i can get power to the phone thou i have to agree ive been able to save it every time now :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
Seriously?

I was up for six hours last night trying to fix the damn thing. I don't want to replace the phone just because I want to beat the system. I have never ran into problems when I am modding. I always figure it out, but when the phone is absolutely unresponsive to all keys, what am I going to do?

Anyways, this thread can be closed now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alec5216:
That same screen (http://img228.imageshack.us/img228/8420/hum1e0.jpg) happened to me yesterday. I thought I had tried all of the key combos but I missed one.

Try the following: (I know you said you tried all of the methods, but I thought it was worth mentioning just in case)

I hope if you have not tried that yet, that it will work for you and save you the hassle of going to ATT.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pobinghun:
seems pretty complicated to flash this phone. My last one-Nokia N900- is very easy to work with. It never get bricked.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I tried that too, nothing. I got it exchanged. No hassle.

AT&T store rep just said the phone will be factory reset and there is nothing to it.

Anyway thanks for the help folks, really appreciate it.

Lets hope, I don't bust this one because the phone I just got is also impervious to key combos. I tried getting into recovery (just for the heck of it), it didnt work with the keys, had to do it with "adb reboot recovery".
[Captivate General] nbcaznmaster:
Got metamorph, tried to install minimalist mod v1.2. It didn't work. Wasn't quiet sure why but tried to use metamporph on kovicon hybrid (icon pack) after i saw someone linked it from the screenshot thread. After i tried to install it, my cellphone has been crashing and/or force closes all the apps till it the phone shuts off. I can't get into recovery mode on the cellphone. The button pressing never worked EVER (even before i the cellphone started doing this). I also uninstalled metamorph but that didn't help.
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
Flash back to stock with Odin. I have read that Metamorph conflicks with the new Super User, if possible use an earlier version of Super User.
[Captivate General] nbcaznmaster:
hmm, can only SOME captivates be able to enter recovery mode? or should all of them be able too.. I'm pretty sure that i've done the process right, especially after trying for 1.5 hours....
[Captivate General] Rhiannon224:
This does appear to be an issue with some captivates. You will see threads about it, give them a quick read. Can you enter download mode to flsah with Odin one click to restore to stock? You can use ADB reboot recovery.
[Captivate General] nbcaznmaster:
no luck on download mode either.....:(
[Droid X Android Development] BRUTAL BROCK:
Was wondering if there was any news or updates regarding the bootloader. Im thankful for all we have so far, plus im a donator to some projects so I help with what I can. Anyone heard anything or have any good references to follow? And whats up with people going to incredibles over x's? I hope no one is giving up on development for the x. :(
[Droid X Android Development] DROIDNP:
If anyone is working on the bootloader it would be birdman. But until now all he is talking about is the new Flyx rom he is working on.
[Droid X Android Development] Syco54645:
He is working on it.
[Droid X Android Development] eighty1:
It almost makes me wish I wouldve kept my Incredible now that they have custom Roms running but the X is much more fitting and better for me. I felt the same way about the Incredible when I had it, didnt think Root was gonna make it and wasnt sure how long it would take to get custom Roms. I jumped ship because of that and a lil bit in part to bad battery life and soon after they got Root and now have custom Roms running. :( We just have to be patient as we have and hope that it soon comes. I agree with you and am thankful for what we have and we can play in the sandbox just not with all the toys.
[Droid X Android Development] FSRBIKER:
Anyone know if the Unrevoked Team has gotten their hands on a DX yet? If not it might be time for another DX donation thread to give this Team a crack at the bootloader.
[Droid X Android Development] das7771:
According to a post at the android forums, birdman is working on something that has to do with the mbm. It think it was Lexusbrian that gave a little tidbit that birdman might have some news for us in a couple of days from now. So be patient becuase it is being worked on.
[Droid X Android Development] BRUTAL BROCK:
Sweet. Well lets hold strong dx'ers, give support and donations, eventually well smash this efuse. :)
[Droid X Android Development] SirBrass:
Considering how FAST we got root compared to the Dinc and how the whole "efuse" panic basically provoked folks into wanting a DX just to prove the bootloader can be hijacked, I think we'll have something soon.

Birdman has been shooting out some occasional tweets that suggest that he's working on it, as well as on FlyX. I expect we'll have a significant breakthrough soon (a few weeks, in my estimation.... I'm being conservative here... it could be faster), if not a working bootloader hijacking process.
[Droid X Android Development] wylie1973:

[Droid X Android Development] LexusBrian400:
Apparently the documents and code to do this are out there now. All that needs to be done at this point, is for someone to put it into an Update.zip format.

Apparently it involves some kind of exploit with NVRAND while Flashing a new baseband. I'd say within 2 weeks, our phones will be open.
[Droid X Android Development] das7771:
Great news...,looks like ur claim on the android forums was correct LexusBrian
[Droid X Android Development] veneirt:
are there any news?
[Droid X Android Development] das7771:
Believe me once some thing is available you will see it on the forums. Just give it a few days or weeks as this just came out.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhantomVirus:
So I had a bunch of crap on my INC and decided to do a factory reset to clear everything out.

The system deleted all apps and user data and rebooted. Things were looking good.

The system was S-OFFed using UnrEVOked Forever, Rooted has the ClockWorkMod ROM manager installed, etc. Running the posted ROM that VZW pushed out as the Froyo OTA update (I manually ran it and it updated from 2.1 flawlessly).

I have been installing apps back onto the device and I am now getting strange App failure issues on the INC. I installed Advances Task Killer and sometimes it runs fine and other times it fails miserably and I have to force close the app. Rom Manager and several other apps - same thing - RoboDefense runs for a few minutes then fails.....none of this was happening prior to the reset.

Anyone have any ideas or guesses? I'll nuke the device again if I have to.

Thx

Ron
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Hello all

I have spent much time recently attempting to modify the zImage included with the Fascinate to include a working recovery image for us to use. However without source code this an extremely difficult (if not possible) goal to achieve.

I am requesting that anyone who owns this device please request the kernel source code from Samsung, so that we may be able to fully utilize our devices. Even if you do not know anything about coding or have any personal use for this source code, it is your right to request it as an owner of the device, and this code will help us all immensely once it is in the right hands.

Requests for source code can be filed on Samsung's website at : opensource . samsung.com/ (remove the extra spaces, apparently I can't post links yet)

Click on the mail icon at the top to submit your request.

Thank you for your assistance.
[Fascinate Android Development] bikeandestroyx:
Requesting right now. Thanks for what your doing! Any updates since last night?
[Fascinate Android Development] Retrokid223:
i just finished sending one in :)
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
You just want everything handed to you, don't you? Quit being so lazy and do some actual work. ;)

But seriously everyone, please take the time to fill out the request. The sooner we get the source, the quicker we'll see some ROMs.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
This guy again, huh ;)

Seriously, thank you to anyone who fills out the request. Remember, as an owner of the device it is your right to have access to the kernel source code, and it takes less than 2 minutes to fill out the request form. Tell your friends!

http://opensource.samsung.com/reception/reception_main.do?method=inquiryView

There's the direct url for the lazy.
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Thanks for direct link. Filled one out through my phone. Made it sound pretty formal lol. Let's hope we get the ball rolling soon, starting to miss all the active development on the older phones.
[Fascinate Android Development] rsmiff:
Submitted a request.
[Fascinate Android Development] humancyborg:
Once we get source we will be able to get a working recovery, then the floodgates will be open. My personal mission is to get AOSP/CM on the phone immediately after that happens, can't stand the TouchWiz and I intend to destroy it!!
[Fascinate Android Development] elemerica:
Submitted a request. Only way I'll be buying this phone is if I can eliminate all Verizon/Samsung UI/apps. Even a vanilla ROM will do over the TouchWiz crap.
[Fascinate Android Development] partner55583777:
I am a little confused. What source code are you requesting?

If you go to h**p://opensource.samsung.com/, click on 'Mobile' at the top, then Ctrl-F for "i9000", you can find (what looks like) a zip containing both the kernel image and files you can plop in an aosp tree in order to build roms for the Galaxy S.

Maybe you guys are talking about source specifically for Fascinate?
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
Yes, we are requesting the source for the fascinate. As the i9000 is a completely different device, and we have the sch-i500
[Fascinate Android Development] partner55583777:
Okay, thanks. That clears it up.

So I guess Samsung is currently in violation of the GPL, then? (And probably other licenses).
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
Well i am sure they will release the source, its just taking them longer than i would like. They released the source for the Epic about 3 days after the hardware was released, and we are at about a week now.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Yeah, they'll post the code soon, they're just taking their sweet time about it.
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
Source code released! Thanks guys!
[Fascinate Android Development] fallingup:
and source code fail!
[Fascinate Android Development] ludeboy:
Is the source code on opensource.samsung.com still the wrong one?
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Not sure yet. We've confirmed they've had at least two different files for download since last night. The original one wasn't' working. I'm at work, so can't tell you much about the second (latest) one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdfly82:
I purchased my Captivate in America from AT&T, but I live in Japan. I unlocked it and am currently using it on Softbank with no problem, save one. I can't get my voicemail to work. Google voice obviously doesn't work with Japanese cell phones.

Our voicemail number here is a 4 digit number. When I dial this number, it dials the voicemail just fine but will not allow me to bring up the dial pad to choose any of the options. The dialpad stays grayed out. It works fine on every other number in the book, except my voicemail. I have tried to add commas to delay the button pushing and get it to choose the options I want, but it does not work.

Here is the question: Is there any way to force the dial pad to show up when making a call, or an app that can do it?

Any help would be appreciated. I am running a rooted version of the 2.1 OS, no custom ROM or anything crazy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] zigarath:
The main point of this thread is so that devs may be able to pop in and quickly see the most-requested features to include in their roms. ROMs are beginning to come out for our working recovery, however, many of the roms seemed to be more vanilla flavored. In that light, I would like to make a few requests for a Rom and hopefully get the requests of others. I will try to keep the OP update to reflect community requests:

What we would like:

- Touchwiz 3 based as well as 1 alt such as LauncherPro with the ability to

- Sprint apks as a seperate file

- Rom Manager support

- Root

- CPU undervolt as well as overclock

- Wallpapers, Ringtones, and LWP from all other Galaxy S devices pre-installed

- Add font changer like the rest of the Galaxies

- Kernel / radio optimization for better battery life w/Cortex A8 optimization

- Add whatever lagfix the epic can apply (not that it needs it, but why are T-Mobile and AT&T get over 2000 quadrant scores and epic does not??)

APKs to include:

- fully working wifi tether

- battery saving app such as Juice Defender at devs discretion

- Solid Backup app (xda member sceptor notes that he has found the inlcuded program in the Boss rom very solid link: xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=786993)

- Rom Manager with fully working features

- Missing Galaxy S apks included download below ripped from i9000 Galaxy S [reposted from jimbob343]:

www mediafire com/?yy3ewxomj0z

75Mb file

and the Odex files

www mediafire com/?jigr6dsopkwnogz

10.1Mb File

Most requested apks:

- FM RADIO (progress is being worked on @ sdx

- MUSIC PLAYER

- VIDEO PLAYER

- DAILY BRIEFING WIDGETS ETC

- task manager button the recent programs list and the comm manager in the notification drop down

What would be nice:

- Puzzle Lockscreen or other Galaxy S lockscreen, no vanilla please

- Theme and non -themed options

- TV-OUT re-enabled

- It would be nice to be able to edit dock /add- remove homescreens like the rest, can't there be a workaround that it can only be done in portrait? (Assuming the landscape is the issue)

- the ability to make the task manager button in the recent programs list link to a different task manager

- rapid charge like No2Chem did for tp2

- fix_permissions script

- 270 degree rotation

- an easy theming option like the new htc desire or mytouch series

- VooDoo port
[Epic 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
This phone needs the radio fixed andd battery life issues fixed before custom roms.
[Epic 4G Android Development] rjmjr69:
Agreed! not that I use FM but my GF does and I'm trying to get her to trade in her EvO junk so I do not have to flash two separate phones gets annoying trying to keep track of whats what for what phone lol.

I can do everything except tv out
[Epic 4G Android Development] casual864:
I second this. Vanilla is great, but I want to see and use TouchWiz 3.0 to its fullest power. I was disappointed when I found out that many features were removed from the Epic. Instead I ran LauncherPro in the meantime, waiting for a full touchwiz rom.
[Epic 4G Android Development] kyrumo71:

[Epic 4G Android Development] los1223:
I'm in for this. How about over/under clocking, and wifi tether built in?
[Epic 4G Android Development] mike21pr:
+1 on this idea!!!!

My requests like most members here would be...

1. Add touchwiz music player again

2. It would be nice to be able to edit dock /add- remove homescreens like the rest, can't there be a workaround that it can only be done in portrait? (Assuming the landscape is the issue)

3. Fully working wifi tether included

4. Add font changer like the rest of the Galaxies

5. Kernel / radio optimization for better battery life

6. Add whatever lagfix the epic can apply (not that it needs it, but why are T-Mobile and AT&T get over 2000 quadrant scores and epic does not??)

7. Add fm radio if possible

..... nothing out of the ordinary, just what a Galaxy S should be but with steroids :)
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Ummmm those things tend to get worked out via custom roms....btw my radio is fine.....which in essence makes my battery life fine....and I use the shiz out of the phone....
[Epic 4G Android Development] sultan.of.swing:
your one of the few then i suppose.
[Epic 4G Android Development] Despiadado1:
@ kyrumo71 - WTF is that picture?!?!

Anyway, about the battery... I use two full batteries in a day. Well, 1.5 now that I have task killer running. I don't use this phone nearly as much as I used my iphone and the battery doesn't last as long. I'll charge it when needed because I love it but godd@mn it would be great if I didn't have to.
[Epic 4G Android Development] navoid:
Definitely +1 on everything said in OP's post.
[Epic 4G Android Development] flyers2114:
Yea the only issue I have is the damn charging....takes forever...actually takes longer than forever....Sammy went a little overboard on trickle charge...so if someone can make a rapid charge like No2Chem did for tp2 that would be great!
[Epic 4G Android Development] Masterface7:
Would there be anyway to have some of the touchwiz widgets without having the touchwiz launcher running? I actually think the friendfeed widget is pretty good. I like most of the things about touchwiz except that 4 icon home dock.

But yea more importantly than that is the touchwiz enhancments in the os like the task manager button the recent programs list and the comm manager in the notification drop down. Maybe the ability to make the task manager button in the recent programs list link to a different task manager as well.
[Epic 4G Android Development] jimmyz:
