[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8525Smart:
^ Ah, you mean you went from an iPhone to a Captivate? Actually, that describes me too. See, prior to owning the Captivate, I owned an iPhone 3GS.

Sad to say, my biggest reason for getting a Captivate in the first place was a desire to own my first high end Android phone. I had owned high end Windows Mobile phones, high end iPhones, and now I had owned a high end Android phone. I love WinMo for its unlimited functionality (I'm not sure I ever encounter something it couldn't do), I love iOS for its incredible usability and elegance, and Android is good compromise between the two.

Fortunately, aside from the battery life issue, I really never had an issue with the Captivate. The GPS worked perfectly for me, I never experienced crashes, and learning how to 'hack' it was a breeze. It was certainly a fantastic phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ilabstudios:
Please help, I tried searching the forums and couldn't find a solution.

I formatted my SD-Card (1GB) on WinMo using the dedicated app, however when I go to boot Android but now it no longer reads my card and am unable to use SD-card dependant apps such as Spotify or Gallery.

What should I do? :confused:

I deleted the image file to see if that would work but still the same problem.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] lordstrife:
Try formatting then card with you pc.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] arrrghhh:
Yes, and preferably don't use the built-in Windows way either. There's the HP format tool, and a lot of people have had success using gparted...
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] devalian:
i thought that must be the way to be?

since u booted android from microsd. so android thinks that the whole microsd is the system boot. hence its not detected as SD to android.

to fix, nid to create 2 partition on the microsd itself. 1 is ext2 and another is fat32. in this, android should be able to detect the fat32 as SD mount.

I posted this in the General section because I forgot that the forum had a Q&A section.... :D

One more time wouldnt hurt if anyone help solve the issue. :cool:

When I plug my EVO into my macbook the memory card Auto-mounts itself. (note that I had check the option "Change only" and then "Never ask again") So it should not be auto mounting the sdcard and instead it should be in "change only" state until I, manually, mount the sdcard.

Does anyone has the same issue? Can anyone help me solve this problem?

Thank you so much y'all

I am using a

Fresh Rom 3.2.0.0
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] david279:
Do you have any apps set to auto mount? I know doubletwist is set to mount the card when connected.

How to sync a playlist from your pc directly to the external sd card? I can only get the music transferred to the internal sd. If I wanted the files on my ext sd, I've been tranferring them manually from internal out to external. There must be a simpler way to do this.
[Desire General] kevinf1990:
i have recently got a telus branded phone that i debranded myself. i am just wondering for people who also debranded their phones, did you get a third party warranty such as squaretrade since the manufacture warranty is voided after debranding.
[Desire General] EddyOS:
Why would you get a 3rd party warranty? You've lost it with HTC and Telus so you're kinda screwed unless you can get the stock ROM to put back on should something go wrong

Calling crunchybutternut and all rom gods.... is there any way to add removed htc apps to custom roms? I am running the new buufed now but deeply miss the old footprints app which I really need... any suggestions?

The very first builds of buufed were built on the HTC framework, so if you PM crunchy and ask for the last one build around it, you should be good to go.

Im real tired of everyone posting questions in the wrong forums. DO YOU NOT READ RULES AT ALL? you must be completely stupid cuz at the top a HUGE sticky thread says do not post Questions in this section. Im sorry for being so rude but you need to read or be banned.

Andanyone can complain all they want about my post not helping, but why should we help someone who doesnt even bother reading the rules or looking at the sections before they post! Forums need order.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] Visionikz03:
kinda beating a dead horse isnt it lol... ive seen hundreds of posts about searching b4 asking and it doesn't seem to be clicking. Maybe they should write a code that makes the forum automatically redirect someone to the search page when they click on the "new thread" icon lol... then in big bold letters at the top of the search page it would say "ARE YOU SURE THIS HASN'T BEEN ANSWERED ALREADY?"
[Hero CDMA Android Development] cmart822331:
the "RULES" also say "no flaming" so I guess you're just as guilty..

Yes I agree..and ban me to then. But people have got lazy and the forums need order it does not have now.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abused.employee:
Hi all,

Hope someone will be able to help as I am having a bit of an issue here, i ran an update of a rom yesterday and once the update is done and phone rebooted.

I noticed that i have lost access to my SDCARD futhermore, all hardware (wifi/mobile) on the phone are no longer accessable.

The phone will boot up and boot into froyo, all the stock icons are there just that i have lost access to anything else.

Have anyone ever encountered this before? Is there a fix for this?

Symptoms

1) Hboot states PVT1 SHIP S-ON HBOOT-0.080.0000

2)When in recovery - i get a Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0 error when i try to acess the sdcard

3) When in phone - WIFI mac, Bluetooth Mac, SD card all shows unavailable

4) RUU.LOG has errors like (status read failed (too many links)) and (Command write failed (unknown error))

Have tried the following

1) Unable to RUU - phone is not recognised in windows, shows 3 Qualcomm devices instead

2) Tried RUU in fastboot - Phone does not get rebooted and fastboot screen gets locked up

3) ADB does not recognise device hence unable to get what is needed for goldcard

4) Tried all fastboot flash commands - write error

5) Tried fastboot oem enableqxdm 0 - error

6) Clear Storage, wipe data, factory reset - nothing works.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abused.employee:
Hi,

I have finally fix my usb brick Desire.

Have tried all the methods listed on this and Modaco's forum and was unable to revive my device.

As none of the hardware works on my phone, i can only try running the RUU via fastboot.

Noticed that during the RUU process, the phone will get locked up after RUU access the phone (after clicking Next)

So what i tried is.. reboot the phone into fastboot after every Next click.

Using this method, i was able to flash the RUU back onto my phone.

Getting the phone back to stock is only half the journey.

All the hardware are still not working, but this time, after i RUU, i had better luck with the "fastboot oem enableqxdm 0" command.

Ran that and my sdcard, wifi and mobile came back to life.

Now i am left with a lifeless bluetooth and USB.

In order to fully fix the usb brick issue, i will have to reroot and fix the misc partition issue.

Problem is, i didnt have a goldcard and there is no way i can use the ADB command (dead usb)

Since now i have working wifi/mobile, I downloaded a terminal app and ran the cat command to extract the CID from my sdcard.

Once i got that, the rest is history... :)

All my knowledge was obtain from the following sites/posts.

A big thank you!

[Captivate General] xatrekak:
Sorry tried a couple of different methods this does works. mods please delete
[Captivate General] wyvphone:
I tried doing this and the setting doesn't seem to work on my Captivate. When I select "GSM Only," the setting stays put after I hit "home," but the display doesn't change from 3G. Do I need to kill the data connection or go into and out of flight mode for it to change?
[Captivate General] xatrekak:
have read that if it doesnt stick then you may need to hit refresh and then update on the *#*#4636#*#* screen. be cautions with this though as i have also read that doing this disables texting on some phones though it worked fine for mine, also go back to the screen and make sure your selection stuck. and dont hit the back button any where on that screen because it causes you to revert to what ever you previously had selected.

how do you hit refresh and update?

[Android Apps and Games] agentpower:
Wondering if there is one...

Anything from just the temp today, or it says todays temp and tomorrows, or a whole 1x4 with the whole week. looking for a b&w all text widget like that.

Any ideas?

:(
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
The only thing that comes to mind is the Temperature Widget but it only does digits for current temperature
[Android Apps and Games] agentpower:
thanks alot man! its not perfect, but its better than nothing.
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
Your welcome. :)
[Android Apps and Games] omnirage:
I modified the News/Weather widget (it's BG is now completely transparent), when the widget is resized with LauncherPro Plus there is only the weather icon and temp displayed. I'll post it if there's someone out there who wants it. Probably around 4pm PST this afternoon...it's bedtime for me right now.
[Android Apps and Games] guitargler:
@omnirage Sounds awesome to me!
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
Something like this is more specifically like what your looking for?
[Android Apps and Games] Paladin2187:
That is pretty much exactly what I am looking for. Can it be made to fit a variety of widget block sizes? 2x1, 4x1, etc?

What is it?
[Android Apps and Games] rycheme:
I'm looking for something like this too which displays the temp and a text representation of the current weather kind of like the text option for Beautiful Widgets (i.e. Clear, Sunny, Raining, etc.)
[Android Apps and Games] Jack Napier:
I'm using Beautiful Widgets and they have a typographical skin.
[Android Apps and Games] rycheme:
Now that beautiful Widgets has the weather only option, I use the typographical skin and its perfect!

From me to you on Cyanogentazz [insert latest version here] Eris
[Android Apps and Games] NexuSix:
not a fan of Beautiful Widgets the weather is consistently off...and the skins all look cheesy.
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
I've read that it's a common problem with other android 2.1 devices, and from what I've gathered, it appears that pppd and the kernel were compiled without MPPE support, so you can't connect to a PPTP VPN that requires encryption with the device.

I'm considering trying to dig into recompiling the kernel to support MPPE (we can just steal pppd from another device, or recompile it, as well)... but I didn't want to jump into that if someone else has already done so or is already working on/releasing a custom kernel and can just fix this in theirs with less effort.

Soooo... anyone else working on or interested in this issue?
[Epic 4G Android Development] zigarath:
i second this. The earlier we begin implementing security into our devices the better :).
[Epic 4G Android Development] /null/:
I could use IPSec with challenge response like bluefire for winmo has
[Epic 4G Android Development] drunix:
Alright, sounds like this hasn't been fixed yet, so I'll start digging to find out exactly what is missing from the kernel--my guess is GRE protocol support, but I'm not sure.

Good luck.
[Droid Eris General] jrhoades858:

[Droid Eris General] mjb413:
Sooo how did you get a droid 2 as a warranty exchange? what was wrong with the original phone? I have the trackball issue on my wife's phone and was considering talking to verizon about getting her a new phone.
[Droid Eris General] Turnyface:
what a *****. i want one!
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Good luck and have fun with your new phone!
[Droid Eris General] NickAVV:
I had this issue and they gave me a refurbished Eris on the spot. I wouldn't hold your breath for a D2, haha.
[Droid Eris General] Jacklad:
I had a total of 5 Eris phones - the last two had hardware issues (bad volume rocker, broken speaker) - I very calmly requested some sort of replacement phone as I had tried so many of the Eris with no luck - the operator I got was very helpful - I asked if the Droid 1 was a candidate, thinking that since it has been discontinued they would have some refurbs in stock - when she looked for it, she came up with a Droid 2 - they had to send the battery & back separately, but I'm pretty sure the phone itself was new (no refurb date sticker on the back) - she knew there were a lot of issues with the Eris, and again I wasn't angry or combative with he and all worked out -I am due for my New Every Two upgrade this month, but wasn't really set on which phone I wanted (x is huge, incredible seems less well built and maybe old news) - funny I never considered the Droid 2 as a candidate, but his thing is really nice - don't overlook it when considering your next phone - I may end up keeping it for a while until the next round of Android phones hits VZW -
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
Thanks for the recommendation. Good to hear!
[Droid Eris General] edgeupgx:
I went round and round with verizon all night about this stupid crap with silent calls my last eris gets them all the time. So I finally called in complained tech support wanted to t/s with stuff I've already done factory reset reboot. Guy told me he could send out another eris that was double checked blah blah blah. I asked if there was anything else that could be done because I have already read up and its a common problem I've found online after the Eris received the 2.1 update. He wouldnt do anything else after pleading my case said there were no other refurbs.

So I got of the phone with him and called back and got over to a retention agent told them I was going to cancel my plans because the last person did not help etc. She was polite and acted like she was helping when in reality I think she just put me on hold hoping I would hang up at one point I was on hold for over 7 minutes without her coming back. She came back and gave me a pity story on how she wished she could send out another phone like the incredible or droid 2 but they just dont have all the parts and it would be to hard to find. She acted like should would be packing the damn box which I know is not the case. I asked if it was possible they had a first Gen Moto droid and she said they no longer carry those because they are getting ready to be discontinued as well.

So last thing I did was send a pretty long email to verizon hoping to hear back some time this morning will post the results. Its crazy they act like the silent bug and trackball scrolling are not issues when I have read about it multiple times throughout other forums and even have owned 2 phones with trackball scrolling issue. My newest phone will even some how type letters when its laid face down or face up on most surfaces.
[Droid Eris General] tazzpatriot:
thats weird , i called cause i was haven issues and i talked them into just renewing my contract and got a droid x and i had a yr left on my contract
[Droid Eris General] chicken59:
So you guys, Tazz and Jack, still had to pay a discounted price for this replacement right? Not just given to you out of the goodness of Verizon's heart?
[Droid Eris General] stupidpopmediareference:
I think it depends on who you get on the phone with. I am on phone number 5 now. The previous phone came bad out of the box and the previous 3 all had the mute call problem. When I called to get this one I asked very politely if there was any way I could get a different phone since the Eris, while a great phone when it works, has been plagued with too many hardware issues. The tech I was speaking to got very rude with me and told me flat out that the only (he pretty much yelled when he said that word) options I had were to either accept a refurb Eris or pay for a brand new phone at retail price.

I figured I got someone who has dealt with a lot of folks trying to get a new phone by complaining about device defects so I just let it slide. My supervisor, on the other hand, called in when his started randomly rebooting and they sent him out a Droid Incredible. First phone replacement and he gets an upgrade.

The sad part is that this phone is now starting to have the trackball issue. Fun stuff, huh?
[Droid Eris General] tazzpatriot:
i paid 100 bux the difference between the droid x and the eris lol ,, even tho i got the eris for free :D
[Droid Eris General] Jacklad:
I didn't have to pay a thing - they swapped out the phones and I still preserved my New Every Two upgrade for later - I do pay the $1.99 extra per month for the extended warranty - don't know if that's why i didn't have to pay anything - it seems like you get a little further with a lower key approach instead of the loud, you owe me approach - I do believe that the operator you get does help determine how they'll handle the problem - I've always had pretty good luck with them -
[Droid Eris General] chicken59:
Hmm I paid that 2.99 a month warranty with my last phone, vastly inferior LG Dare lol, and had to deal with a separate company named Asurion(sp?). After paying that stupid charge for over a year, they were still very reluctant to send me any kind of upgraded phone.:mad: So I didn't purchase it with this phone.

Anyway enjoy the greener pastures, Droid 2 looks pretty sweet.
[Droid Eris General] joeyfeffer:
Yeah I tried calling Verizon and getting a replacement for my Eris (I have silent bug and broken trackball). But all they would offer me was another Eris. When I got tech support and I told him a couple of my friends which had Eris' with problems got incredibles and D2's as replacements for free, explained that that's a lie and they probably used they're new every two because Verizon doesn't just do that. Then when I talked to a customer service operator and told her the same story she explained that, that may have happened if the tech support was out of Eris'.

So I'm thinking its just who you get from tech support, luck of the draw that they're out of Eris', and it may help if you've received a couple replacement Eris' and continued yo have issues.
[Droid Eris General] edgeupgx:
I think for the most part verizon is full of crap when it comes to replacing phones. I pay 200 dollars a month and they wont even send out a moto droid first gen. I was talking to a retention agent and they were like well I would like to send out an incredible or droid 2 but we just dont have all the parts some dont have backs or batterys others dont have chargers. Weird thing was I had said nothing about wanting a newer phone at all. All I had said I would like to continue on with the android exp. I will take anyphone but the eris of course I was hoping they didnt offer the ally. I was pretty polite on the phone just getting the same story everyone I have talked to is doing pretty well when it comes to sticking to their guns currently.
[Droid Eris General] ccoop:
Hey boys,

just got off the phone with verizon and they gave me a new droid 2 for free, but I just went through four erises in the last 3 days and the last one has a battery drain issue so they are overnighting it to me.

I just wanna thank kaos for his awesome froyo rom, since that is what got me started on rooting my phone in the first place.

Night!
[Droid Eris General] roirraW "edor" ehT:
