[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackhuny:
I have a pc running on window 7 64bit. I already installed 64bit driver. When I conect my phone to the pc and do adb shell its all fine but when I disconect and reconect then do adb shell it just keep saying device not found until I restart my pc.

I have my laptop running same window7 64bit which does not seem to have the problem. What did I do wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Like alot of people said in other posts I am experiencing not being able to get into recovery mode via the 3 button combo.when it comes to rooting I was wondering how important it was. I'm new to android and unless I'm not mistaken, there are other methods to rooting.however I'm more concerned if something goes wrong, I want to make sure I can get things back to normal and not be bricked. Also, when the froyo update comes out I'm going to want to revert to stock. To people who are experienced at rooting, how necessary is it. If it is I will return it, but I'm worried the one I will get will have gps issues and so far mine has been lucky enough to have gps work almost flawlessly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
GPS won't be flawless for long, it is flakey, known everywhere. It works sometimes and dosen't others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
i personally dont know how necessary it is but, all i know is you can side load apps like roms so u can play the emulators they have such as sega genesis and what not. also you will be able to get the apps we normally cant get in the android market such as: super mario wallpaper, tethering, and many other 3rd party apps that are available that we cannot get. i dont know all of them. but comming from a jailbroken iphone jailbreaking the captivate is way more difficult. android is not as user friendly when it comes to the technical geek stuff. my captivate is a week old now:o

but i think you should wait on the froyo then wait to see if they come out with a one click root method for 2.2, which they probally will. i was close to rooting mine but it seems a little bothersome to convert it back to stock. so i would just hold off till froyo:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Yea, I'm just thinking I should than exchange my cappy for one that will go into recovery mode via the button combo.I'm not very experienced in rooting but from what I understand if you can't you have more of a chance in bricking the phone. Not sure though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I just replaced my cappy today. Went to the AT&T store and got it right away. The new one still can't boot into recovery mode via the button combo. So, its up to you. I say its worth a shot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Tchem:
Yea see that's the other problem, there's so many people that mes up doing a root. I hope they come out with a more stable root system when froyo roils around.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
I didnt brick my phone while root. I accidentally pulled the battery when my phone was rebooting from removing the lag fix.

As of right now, there are many root methods provided and all of them work flawlessly (provided you follow directions:D).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Nope, not worth s shot, if you can't boot into recovery, how do you plan to apply the root, you need recovery mode for this. Unless you plan to use ADB everytime. Eventually your phone will brick without being able to use the key combo method. To me it isn't worth taking the chance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denellum:
get a new one. i just replaced mine for a new one. took me going to 3 different stores trying a total of 9 captivates to find one that the 3 buttons worked. you will NEED that if you get bricked. i would HIGHLY suggest not flashing anything unless you do it. if you have any other questions feel free to pm me, i can give you my speech i gave.

:D

best of luck sir!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] denellum:
i stood there, told me the store manager i would like to keep trying the other phones. since a sim card is not needed for the phone to boot to recovery it will not void their "warrenty pre sim card"

like i said in above post 3 stores and 9 captivates
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Yea I guess I should exchange it. Hopefully it won't take abunch of phones to get one that will, and if it does, hopefully they will let me test til I get it right. Anyone know if this is just something samsung just started on later date phones that were made to stop people from trying to root? I'm not sure how phone companies view phone rooting.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
It's your phone, why should they care if you modified it? Void warranty maybe. Otherwise, why use open sourcing?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Yes, definitely exchange your phone. Also, I would test this function in store until you get one that works. From what I have read, it seems like there was a bunch of phone made during the week of 8-10-2010 thru about 8-14-2010 that had a hardware defect. There's another thread in the boards somewhere that people who can't use 3 button recovery post their build dates, and all so far fell into that build week.

I wouldn't even begin to mod my phone if I didn't have access to recovery or download mode by using buttons. If you rely on adb you are out of luck if you soft brick it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
Of course I'm going to try to test in store. How do I check the news manufacturing date?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Not sure, but I'll find the post for you. I did notice that on my Battery there is a date of 07-04-2010. I know that's a battery date, but maybe it helps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Here's the thread, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8082249&postcount=16

go to the phone keypad, dial *#*#197328640#*#* from there it will pull the service menu, go to Version Info, SW Version, READ ALL SW VERSION

Mine by the way shows RF Cal Date of 07-11-2010.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
My rf cal date is 8 14 2010
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Wow, that falls into the date range of the others I've seen.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
So ive now returned that faulty cappy, and have one that will goto into recovery mode. Although, the gps definitely,seems as if it won't even get a fix. Oh well I guess if the problem is software ill wait for the update. Also it could be me, but it definitely seems more laggy then before, especially the back button.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Yep, gps is mostly broken right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xtremekilla09:
so what is your rf cal date now?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Nerz:
2010 8 20
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] elite_is3:
really? one that i recieved was (2010 8 19), and didnt allow recovery. very close to yours which is very "ODD"

but the one im keeping and works is much older, (2010 7 11)

interestingly enough, ive compared them side by side. And there is the possibility the Screens are actually different on the two. Theres a slightly (very slight) higher brightness on the NEWER models. Something to consider. perhaps a hardware change caused this. Although i cant imagine how a screen change could cause such an issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollowayXDA:
That's crazy, my RF cal date is also 2010.8.20 and I can't go into recovery with the three-button combo. There must be something more going on here than just the date they were made...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3P0LOL:
I want to send mine in to get one that works. But I don't want to send it in to just get another one that doesn't work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Uncle Irish:
My phone would not enter recovery or download using 3-button combo. After the OTA update today, I am able to get into both recovery and download modes using 3-button combo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C3P0LOL:
You're right! I just updated the phone and mine is working now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4thought:
Hi all ... I edited my dock and added the Gmail icon. It randomly disappears on me. It isn't consistent when this happens, eg. most re-boots it stays, sometimes its gone. Sometimes just looking at the phone part way thru the day and its gone. Any ideas?

Is there anyway to remove the swipe to unlock screen? I had a Vouge with Android ROMs and it was two presses of the power-on button to unlock. Much more convenient. Thanks in advance for any help on these!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 4thought:
It seems that if you change a dock icon to a 3rd party app, it won't stay. Anything installed originally in the phone will not disappear.

Anyone have issue with linux client connecting to ap? Windoz client works fine?
[Epic 4G General] ldrn:
I'm able to connect with Ubuntu Karmic (LPIA) and Ubuntu Lucid (x86_64). It often takes two tries on the 64-bit machine, though; I have to disable and re-enable the wifi in between as well, but the second try will always work.

This particular machine has issues with WEP, though; I figured that was it.

[Android Software Development] wrxtc714:
I'm starting a new company and i'm looking for a partner that is experienced or at a beginners level like me.

The focus of the development and the business will be google android application development targeted towards large corporations.

if you are dedicated and are willing to work with me then we both have a bright future ahead of us

My origional partner started getting flakey and didn't want to take the time necessary to get things moving

The company is pretty much set up and ready to go I just need a solid serious individual to work with me.

It may be a struggle at first and I have nothing to offer except a share in profits.

Google android is amazing and is taking over the industry with a bright future ahead.

taking advantage of the market today guarantees success.

Even if you are a beginner to android and java but are willing to learn and do what it takes then I would love to hear from you.

if you are interested please email me at

frank@socastltd.com so we can further discuss the opportunity
[Android Software Development] themapleboy:
You might wanna edit this for spelling/punctuation; makes you sound more professional.
[Android Software Development] wrxtc714:
I didn't claim to be a professional.

And there is always someone out there like you.

I was expecting a few responses like yours.

You must be an English major and a professional writer lol

it must be hard to be so perfect.

Correcting people is a great way to get your post count up buddy.

The point is that I'm a regular person.

Everybody makes mistakes.

A pm would have been a little more appropriate i think.

But the people like you that know it all thrive on trying to put others down in order to get through your day.

I'm sure I must have misspelled something or forgot to cross a t or dot an i.

Plus I write on my phone. Auto correct isn't always the best feature.

Hopefully the real people out there won't be such haters.
[Android Software Development] themapleboy:
Chill the fk out, seriously. Yes a pm would have been more appropriate in hindsight, but I was just trying to help and didn't realize it would stir up a **** storm (my original intent was to edit my post to say something positive once you fixed yours). You seem like a real joy to work with I pity those who reply to this.
[Android Software Development] wrxtc714:
Lol thanks for your help pal

lets just hope that the good people out there can look past this guys personal issues.

I'm sure most people see where I'm coming from about his criticism.

Anyways I'm a good and honest individual and am just looking for the right people to work with

obviously anyone with issues such as themapleboy need not inquire.
[Android Software Development] s3ct0r3:
Woah, woah, woah. Ok, now that we've come down to walking speed, let me continue:

themapleboy was clearly just trying to help. It never hurts to be formal in situations that facilitate it, i.e. seeking a business partner, at least in my book, is clearly of those situations. themapleboy recognised this and attempted to help.

Let us now segue into a justification from a professional:

Moreover, I'm a socio/psycho/computational linguist (meaning that I study the effects of linguistic registers – among other things – and how these registers interact with human perception) and there's clearly nothing wrong with writing informally – in fact, linguists care not for "correctness" for we study language as it evolves and not as it once was. On the other hand, informality does, however, have an affect on how others perceive your intelligence, professionalism, and seriousness: formality ultimately determines whether-or-not you'll find an ideal business partner. You said yourself that you search for someone who is dedicated and a solid serious individual; therefore, an investment of a tad bit more formality and seriousness may ensure that, instead of finding someone amateurish and lighthearted, you find someone who's equally as driven and serious as you. /justification for themapleboy

I, too, am a business owner. It was difficult. The fees to start up were outrageous, and the immense amount of thought and planning required were, needless to say, overwhelming. Frankly, I was nervous. Unfortunately, I sound like your old business parter – which is, ultimately, why I closed my business. My heart is in linguistic research and not application development, which I still do in my spare time.

Let me be absolutely clear in saying that this message is not, by any means, an attack. Let me also add that themapleboy's original message was, too, not meant to be an attack. People receive criticism and distribute criticism in varying ways; each person is unique, which is why you must always assume positive intent no matter how difficult it may seem.

Good luck with finding someone, and may both of your futures be as successful as you hope them to be.
[Android Software Development] cyansmoker:
Sorry to say, but themapleboy makes a valid point.

Despite being no english major myself, I would recommend proper communication skills when dealing with potential business associates, customers, etc.

The image you project will likely make the difference between a long fruitless struggle and a successful venture.

Only my $.02

Found the people I needed

I've found the people I needed

thank you guys for seeing these poor trash talkers for what they are.

And thank you xda for being there!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
Holy guacamole! Has anybody else seen or used this app? I am amazed - its spectacular. It is a 1 stop widget for email / calendar / tasks / sms / missed calls / voicemail / facebook / twitter / google reader.

I just downloaded and installed the free version of the app from market and various add-ons and am positively blown away. Will be buying the paid version to get rid of ads when i get home.

I have been searching for something like this for weeks and found a reference on droidforums or something like that. My stupid, stodgy, underpowered, small low res screen, bad browser, no apps, no customization blackberry can now safely be consigned to the trash can! My d-inc will be my new work phone and with this app and the widgets I have absolutely everything I needed.

A few things to note:

1. Set up took a small bit of time for me but once set up properly it is great.

2. Editing any incorrectly entered settings is confusing since the menu button keeps pulling up general phone settings. You have to click inside the widget and then press the menu button to get the app settings. They should make that better.

3. The widget app does not seem to support exchange email - just gmail including google apps and other IMAP/POP accounts such as yahoo, hotmail - you need paid accounts for those last 2 I believe. I guess for my exchange account i will use the htc widget (strangely though the app does support exchange calendars).

4. There are countless settings - spend the time to figure them out. Font size, color, background - way too many things can be changed.

5. I confused myself by using it on the lockscreen - when you switch on the screen, you dont see screen unlock - you just see a summary page of the emails / calendars etc etc. - you have to click the home button to get the slider to unlock your phone.

6. http://www.appventive.com/executive-assistant is the app site but there is not a helluva lot of info there. You are a bit on your own in figuring out the settings etc.

7. I have 2 google emails - 1 personal, 1 office g-app and of course google voice. It did not like that and would not login into all my email and voice till I entered their passwords properly instead of letting the app gather that from the device settings.

8. I have not tested battery drain yet but I suspect it will lead to some since it seems to pull the emails rather than just polling the android apps.

For anybody who wants to use their droids as work related phones - this is by far the best thing I have ever come across.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] corefile:
not that I'm cynical, and it does look interesting, but this post sure sounds like developer pumping his app
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
hahahahaha. check my other posts - u will see i am a noob tinkering around - not a dev or anything like that - probably sound too excited because i finally got an app which makes my bberry (useless junk i was forced to use since the iphone is bad too) replaceable. am a private equity guy - i know financial statements not java or whatever android is written in.

PS: there is 1 more drawback - if u try to use multiple widgets, 1 setting applies to all. So u cant have 1 widget for SMS/Twitter/Facebook and 1 for email - maybe i am doing something wrong but thats what it seemed like.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Hatman41:
Does not support exchange = fail.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Devildog8791:
+1 That is the only mail that I check on a daily basis. Double Fail!!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] corefile:
triple it, it a deal breaker for me, great idea though. would buy it if it was able to read from the exchange mailbox (i don't want yet another mailbox checking or recieving, its already downloading the email, just read that inbox?)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] khanam:
If anybody can recommend anything better, I would love to try that. I suggested this only because there is nothing better than this out there - at least I have not found any. Even without exchange, there is no consolidated widget for all the things in 1 screen.

I have a JB iphone 4 too and I use lockinfo (cydia app). That's the best implementation of a launchpad for various items (calendar, weather, email, missed calls, sms, voicemail, notifications, tasks, twitter) and so on... So far no such widget/app seen on the android platform. This one is close but as you can see from my comments too, its not perfect.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] joshnichols189:
I have Executive Assistant and I must say it's very useful.. if you're looking for something else that also displays all information you might want to try Slidescreen and Slidescreen Pro. I'm not sure if you can read exchange mail through them but they're very clean and professional looking.. they act as a new home though.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dimebagdan65:
Good find!

Checkin out the free version now, no exchange support isn't an issue for me as I don't use it, but if the rest of the app is solid and the dev has enough of a following, I think it's safe to say that exchange support can be expected down the pipeline (Here's hoping since I know a lot of folks use it!)

OK, bought full version, dude SWEET find! Been looking for something like this!

THIS IS UNSIGNED, IF YOU AREN'T USING CLOCKWORK, YOU SHOULD FIGURE OUT HOW TO SIGN IT YOURSELF. I'LL RELEASE SIGNED VERSIONS LATER.

EDIT YOU NEED A 114 MB SYSTEM FOR THIS VERSION DUE TO A 25MB BOOT ANIMATION, PLEASE USE MTD UNTIL I FIX IT
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
i got you bro. once i get my son to sleep ill test. you know anything yet? data/cam/wifi/gps etc? if not its cool, thats what tests are for.

ok, just doing this for people who dont want to sift through for the signed version: not signed by me, boot animation not swapped by me, *******there is a green bar at the bottom for status of install on boot note though, even after the bar is full it will still take a second IF YOU HAVE ADB INSTALLED RUN A LOGCAT, AS LONG AS YOU SEE THINGS MOVING YOU ARE GOOD. ********. let it sit for awhile like usual after it loads (20+ min). you also have to input the tmo apns to get svc.

link to signed version of the rom

http://goo.gl/opI3

tmo apn's:

http://goo.gl/bNtU

will post back a working/not working in a min.

i would also suggest not doing the system update that it says is avail once you get data working.
[G1 Android Development] VeryCoolAlan:
Love this.
[G1 Android Development] opethfan3:
Is this compatible with a 32B Sapphire? Or would it be, to the best of your knowledge?
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
yes this is a port from the 32a rom to 32b. its not signed so you can only flash via clockwork right now. clockwork doesnt require a signiture for it to be able to flash. if you use amon_ra just wait. im booting into linux after i post this now that i have my son asleep and will look into what can possibly be trimmed down then will sign and post up after im done.

ok, decided not to mess with anything, i dont use some stuff but others do, its signed and im gonna test now, just got done doing backup on current rom and will post if it flashes.
[G1 Android Development] j0c1323:
need to wait, since i have amon_ra.:(
[G1 Android Development] etu_aty:
Allright!! looking forward to this, I could sign the rom myself but ill wait to see how the rom works for you guys and im also waiting for a class 6 sdcard that I purchased a few days ago... anyways, im gonna try it with the class 4 i have right now after you try it and maybe cut some size :D
[G1 Android Development] art010606:
i hate clockwork. and it wont sign for me for some reason. idk why.

can someone please sign this so we can flash.
