So I have been playing some games and really don't feel like using a camera that I don't have to make things like tutorials or reviews. Anyone know if there is a way to video capture inside android or when connected via USB to a pc?

I tried looking and have found nothing. :-(

Just my .02, Had this thread actually had a question asked IN THE THREAD, rather than just the Title, I would agree that maybe 063's comment was a bit harsh. But I guess since there is no "Meaningless threads to waste people's time" forum, this is what we get.....

Who knows. But you're kinda trollin, don't you think?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 063_XOBX:
No I actually don't think. I seem to be the only person who finds it annoying and actually says something when there are 12+ threads every single time an OTA is rumored.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] superlinkx:
The fact you are alone might say something about you being a troll. Look, let the mods handle it. There's only about 4 threads about it right now. I agree that this thread is pointless, but the best way to kill a pointless thread is to do nothing. Let it sink to the bottom.

Anyways, still waiting for either the exact original update or an odex'd version. So far sounds like all the things we heard about this release came true, so I'm pretty excited.

[Streak 5 General] skyfallcinema:
Okay, so I got bored this weekend and decided to try go go the O2 route and get eclair on my AT&T streak. I followed the steps exactly as listed via streaksmart.com. I even tried the walkthrough on modaco's site. I can get it to the O2 1.6 no problem, but when I try to update to the 2.1 rom, my screen stays black when it's supposed to be installing, for hours, and never applies. I have tried rom 8105 and 6941 with no luck. Both do the exact same thing. I have tried google-fu and searching here, among other forums. I wasn't really able to find anything. Any ideas?
[Streak 5 General] jkim5708:
I was able to upgrade to 21build 6941 following Modacos steps. Makesure you do the 4399 recovery step first via fastboot...then upgrade to 6941
[Streak 5 General] skyfallcinema:
Turns out I had a bad bootloader.. After reflash number 4, I was able to install with no problem. Gogo Eclair!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlakeIsBlake:
I recently updated my phone to Eugene's Franken-Twiz. After doing so, I went to use my calculator to find out that the one used in this rom (stock calculator?) is severely lacking in functionality. I tried download the .zip of Vibrant apps, but there wasn't a calculator listed. Does anyone have the calculator.apk?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oquinones:
There is one there. The Touchwiz calculator is named TouchwizCalculator.apk. In order for it to show up though it has to be deodexed. You should download the deodexed rom that's out there and pull it out.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BlakeIsBlake:
Thanks! It was sneakily hiding under the TouchWiz title. :)

From the phone on an app
[Captivate General] ptc62:
What I don't understand is why If we are prompted to receive the update ota we aren't supposed to update?? And if there really wasn't an official update why in the world engadget claims to have received word that the official gps fix began rollout today from both samsung and att... This is getting stupid...
[Captivate General] noidd:
LOL I got the same "Alice". Basically told me the same thing about there not being an official update. I had asked then why I could use the update option in the phone and receive this fictitious update but it fail. She just repeated her canned response.

Their "support" sucks ass.
[Captivate General] rahlquist:
Ok stupid question for the next person who plays support roulette. How are US customers to install over USB since Kies is officially not released for the US?
[Captivate General] echonc:
why shouldnt I update OTA? I already did... but why would they say not to
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
Okay, I just got off the phone with Samsung Tech Support. I explained to the girl that I downloaded the update but it failed and then later it wouldn't download at all. Long story short, she told me Samsung hasn't released any firmware for the Captivate and anything I got must have been from AT&T and not Samsung. This conversation occured about 10 minutes after I spoke to AT&T and they told me that Samsung handles the updates. This whole situation is like a joke.
[Captivate General] sridhar618:
"GPS + other improvements for Samsung ATT Captivate are HERE! Today - next few weeks OTA notification will be sent to customers! #GalaxyS"

from samsung mobile usa's twitter http://twitter.com/samsungmobileus
[Captivate General] ptc62:
out of curiosity, how many people actually got notifications today legitimately? Did everyone move the date up to force the install? I doubt thats the case but this might explain why they are either playing dumb, or have no clue?? Just a thought
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
Lol i even mentioned the twitter page to her. She knew nothing about it. She just said that the support page for the captivate didnt have the update so it couldnt be out yet.
[Captivate General] jimrusling:
When I turned on my phone this morning, it automatically told me an update was available. I did not have any problems, just a long wait at 50% and another long wait at the Galaxy S screen when it was rebooting. The wait was long enough I started getting worried.
[Captivate General] nybmx:
Yeah same thing here. It was around 2 mins for the 50% and around 1 min at the Galaxy S screen. Not a long time by real world standards but when you are thinking your phone is in the process of bricking it seems like an eternity.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
@krad the reason your getting communication error because your task killer it's killen device management icon with two arrow red and blue reboot your phone and make sure your nothing its killed.
[Captivate General] thelastjedi:
Any non-contract phones ?

Guys I have been following XDA for a long time, never had a chance to post. I have a non-contract ATT Captivate without ATT 3G service. I have asked Samsung about how I should upgrade to JH7 and they have no clue. Can I update to this on Wifi ? or is a 3G service mandatory ?

Is anyone here in a case like me ? Please help guys :(
[Captivate General] emuneee:
This is not the reason. I just checked the logs using Dalvik Debug Monitor

When you manually check for an update it looks like the phone sets up a special APN for checking updates...and you see the 3G/E icon start showing data activity. Using HTTPS, its attempts to connect to a server which I assume stores the update. The HTTP response code that is returned is 403, which is means the connection was "Forbidden". This is the reason for the communication error.

I assume, the connection is "Forbidden" because your SIM/IMEI number has not been provisioned for the update yet.

Also there is another way to reset the update timer. When you run a manual check for the update, it saves the current time stamp to /dbdata/databases/com.wssyncmldm/wssdmdatabase.db. The manual update process will not run if you are within the 24 hour window of this timestamp. If you delete this file and reboot your phone, your timer is reset.
[Captivate General] lospulpo:
Strange. There is nothing in my /dbdata/ folder at all.
[Captivate General] keitht:
Strange, I do not even have a dbdata folder. Where are you seeing that?
[Captivate General] alme1304:
I actually got the notification tried to update and couldnt connect to the server + it started doing the update automatically. No taskiller
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Sorry, I should mention you must be rooted. Also, I used adb to gain visibility into these folders. For some reason, I wasn't able to using Astro...it just showed an empty /dbdata/ directory.
[Captivate General] keitht:
Thanks... used Terminal Emulator to rename the file, rebooted and that worked. Thanks for the tip!
[Captivate General] thehavock18:
You can also use estronge file manager and in settings click the checkmark to show hidden files and it will show you everything. I have not tried to delete or rename the file without being root but you can sure navigate around without root.
[Captivate General] keitht:
I am rooted and was able to do this with terminal emulator so I know I can see and perform the delete. Loaded Estrong and checked to show hidden files but cannot see the folder. There is a root enabled option in the settings but you have to have CM ROM or HIAPK ROM which I do not. Otherwise, a nice looking file manager.
[Captivate General] JvKintheUSA:
I think you might be right. Since last night numerous people are not able to connect to the AT&T server, which make me believe AT&T knowingly shut down the update server and only makes it available if/when you receive an invitation to download the new update.
[Captivate General] keitht:
Don't think so. I never received an invitation and did move date forward to receive update which ended at 100% but failed yesterday. If I do the trick mentioned here to delete the /dbdata/databases/com.wssyncmldm/wssdmdatabase.db file, reboot, and check for updates, it will download the update again.
[Captivate General] karier13:
Fail

I had rooted, done lagfix and removed the at&t garbage. In anticipation of the update I reversed the lagfix. I got the message to update and tried and kept getting a Fail. At one point it actually changed to show JF7 but no full Quick Office, GPS still off, no other changes.

Today I completely put the phone back to factory (using Odin) and tried to do the manual update and it gets to 50% and fails. I have not added any of my customization and I did a factory reset (which lets me retry the update) and tried again still 50% and fail. I did receive the notice but can't update. What would be the best way get the update to work?

[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
So there seems to be a bit of confusion surrounding the DI01 ota update that's coming out to Fascinate users. Hopefully I can shed some light on the situation and prevent some people from spending lots of quality time with Odin.

The update is not a "full" update. The update package will simply patch your system as part of the upgrade, instead of deleting/replacing files. So, if you've made changes to any the files that it is looking for, the signature check will fail, and your update will FAIL.

So, you basically have 2 options. Either restore back to complete stock using the Odin files here, or find another way to update that will compensate for your modifications. If you're not running a stock configuration, then DON'T take the update!

Personally, I was only interested in getting rid of the update nag and updating my radio, instead of taking the full update. So, I stripped down the DI01 update and repackaged so that it will only flash the modem.bin and replace build.prop to make it look like you're running the newer software. Please find the zip attached to this post. Just put it on your sdcard and apply. This file will work if you're rooted/de-bloated/lag-fixed/whatever. If you've made any mods to build.prop then you'll need to re-do them.

NOTE: if you want to flash the attached zip you will need to either use the CMWrecovery.tar from here or flash it using clockwork recovery.

EDIT: replaced attachment with one that copies over a complete build.prop instead of patching the existing one.
[Fascinate Android Development] CheetoDroid:
What is considered messing with the build.prop? I've changes my dpi, will that make this update fail?

edit : yep it fails the verification on build.prop I'm going to try changing it back to 240 and see if it passes
[Fascinate Android Development] jason1332:
Exactly what I want but it fails on update.

Whole file signature failure.
[Fascinate Android Development] CheetoDroid:
Changed my build.prop back to stock and it still fails the hash check. Anyone know how to correct it back to stock ?
[Fascinate Android Development] jt1134:
added a note to the op
[Fascinate Android Development] bubbleywine:
so we just flash it through clockwork??
[Fascinate Android Development] jason1332:
Bingo, worked, thanks! You da man.
[Fascinate Android Development] justaguy17:
That's what I did and it worked.
[Fascinate Android Development] dialect129:
i did this even though im not to sure on what the fixes are lol
[Fascinate Android Development] dialect129:
So out of these things

Instant notification of Visual Voice Mail in the messaging bar.

Improved sync between phone and e-mail accounts.

Prompt notification when switching to airplane mode.

Faster switching from 3G to 1x RTT.

Search phone while on a call.

Improved Exchange password alerts.

No Service audio alert removed.

what does this zip not update?
[Fascinate Android Development] ckochinsky125:
How did you flash it using clock work recovery?
[Fascinate Android Development] bubbleywine:
open rom manager go to install rom from sd card scroll to the bottom select the zipu want to install then a box will come up to clear data or back up u dont have to click either of those u can back up if u want but the back up will be with out the update
[Fascinate Android Development] justaguy17:
In CWRecovery there's an 'apply zip from sdcard' option.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
We don't know.. We hope it's 3G to 1x and no service audio alert.. I would be very grateful if someone who applied it could test the no service audio alert though.

I can't get my signal to drop at my house. :( VZW signal is too strong, even inside my microwave.. (where I get 3 bars, apparently)
[Fascinate Android Development] justaguy17:
Does switching to airplane mode produce the same sound?
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
No.. you can't control when the sound happens, you have to lose signal.
[Fascinate Android Development] bomber889:
No, actually turning it to airplane mode and turning it off does produce the lost signal sound.
[Fascinate Android Development] dialect129:
when i turn airplane mode on it gives me a nextel bleep kind of sound
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
I understand guys, the fix doesn't hide the sound, it's supposed to stop the sound from playing when you lose signal. You can't do anything on the phone to generate the lost service / signal notification, you need to physically lose signal.
[Fascinate Android Development] atraitees:
Ok. I'm one of the dummies that downloaded it. Now my wireless tether does not work! It still opens but it won't engage.

I still have root rights, just no tether. regular wireless works just fineas well as pda net... Help!
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
Thanks for the signed zip. I was waiting for this before I even considered loading the vzw release. Hopefully this teaches people to just be patient because a work around is usually quickly released.
[Fascinate Android Development] atraitees:
Ouch! I think I just got stabbed...
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
Wasn't making my comment towards you. But in the android community releases are usually just around the corner. If ya don't know what something new will do, just wait and an easier way will present itself.

OK I need help. When in recovery I go to apply sdcard:update.zip but after it says verifying update package I get

E: failed to open /sdcard/update.zip (No such file or directory)

E: signature verification failed

Installation aborted
[Fascinate Android Development] Boushh:
You need to go into your actual download location (sdcard\download for the browser) where update-DI01-signed.zip is actually located and run that zip with ROM manager.

I'm having issue with it accepting the signing of it, but I stupidly didn't think and tried to run the OTA so I have to restore with 0 den when I get home unless something easier comes out...

Got mine to finally work, had to re-root, with the one on androidforums, and the first attempt hung, and did a battery pull (feel like im in the BB era again, haha) second attempt went flawless. Had root rights, then went to try wireless tether, and kept getting error, in the log it showed something about wireless security, so uninstalled, restarted, reinstalled, and walla worked perfect. Any questions just ask.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Ok I must be dumber than a rock. I didnt have it in the sdcard\download just on the sdcard. So I moved it. I have ROM Manager as well. When I go into it then what? Reboot into recovery doesnt reboot me after I hit ok. Am I missing something when you say run that zip with ROM Manager how exactly do I run it?
[Fascinate Android Development] Florynce:
Are you using CWM? It seems like you are just trying to load it from the stock recovery and that looks for a file specifically named update.zip. If you wanted to run this update with that, you would have to rename the file you downloaded to update.zip. I'm not sure if that's a good idea or not since I'm very new to this but I think that's why it's not updating.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Im trying to but its not letting me. I tried renaming the zip and that didnt work so Im back the to default. I've flashed ClockWorkMod Recovery and made it Fascinate. When I hit the Reboot into Recovery nothing happens. It says Reboot into Recovery Are you sure you want to reboot into ClockWorkMod Recovery? I hit OK and nothing happens.

And yes I've gone thru odin twice and put the CWMrecovery.tar on.

I'm stumped. It seem something anything should happen when I hit ok but nothing does

CWM Recovery is 2.5.1.0

Now I did just finally get into the true CWM with the green screens and after one failed navigation thru it I found it and now its applying I believe. The updating modem part is taking a hella long time. 3 minutes and the gold colored bar is not yet halfway. Fingers Crossed and thanks for the help all of you guys have been thus far.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
I did. It didnt work. Being rooted and de-bloated I knew it was a no go. Slowly but surely it seems its finally going thru now. Man what a ordeal this was. I did a whole bunch of stuff in odin to get it stock but from some reason my google search remained. I un lag fixed, un rooted. I just hope this works this thing is slower than crap updating. 7 minutes in and its still updating modem
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Yeah I unrooted a second time and re-rooted. I don't know maybe my Superuser was jacked up. But yes I did a reflash of CWM and it appears to be working for me right now. I've been updating modem for 10 minutes though :(

Very similar thing happened with the OTA, took forever and then it never went thru. Im going to cry if this doesnt work.

The super sad part is if I came here right off the bat and read this thread I never would have had to un root and re-bloat.

I think I'm F'd. The updating bar seems to have stopped about 60% of the way across. Same God Damn thing happened with the OTA
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
There's always odin if you have to go back to stock again but that blows!!! Maybe you'll get lucky, when i flashed mine only took 2 mins or so.
