Whenever I try to install an older version, I get a message saying "An error occurred while downloading your recovery" I've tried it on 3G and Wifi, and I can download other things just fine.
[Fascinate Android Development] dlongb13:
Do you have the update.zip for CWM still on your sdcard? If so reboot into recovery using the power and volume key, it should take you to the Samsung recovery, then go to apply update.zip.
[Fascinate Android Development] d12183:
I just get sent back to CWM and I get the same error. Would removing ROM Manager remove CWM?
[Fascinate Android Development] magicriggs:
In order to have a fully working rom manager, you have to flash the clockworkmod.tar kernal. I was having the exact same issues, I couldn't do a backup or restore. You will have to do odin on your phone.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
Exactly.

You cannot install CWM without odin / redbend / etc. There are no shortcuts. Just downloading ROM Manager and hoping that you're special or lucky is not enough to make this work.:)

Follow the instructions.

I guess I had assumes he had already done that.
[General Questions and Answers] Nlagazzi:
I rooted my evo with unrevoked 3.21 tonight. I have some concerns nothing is wrong with the phone but maybe I should have done some research first. I thought when I rooted I would be able to uninstall the crapware Sprint put on MY phone. I learned that I am not able to do that with unrevoked. I would require a full root to gain r/w permissions. With all smartphones I have owned when you mess with the OS you can just do a factory reset and you are back to normal minus any apps and personal touches you have done to the phone. A Clean Slate. How do I do this with the Evo. I thought maybe I could go to the Sprint Website and just download the OS and wipe the phone. Have I permanently altered this Evo by rooting it with Unrevoked.

Dont be so impatient and stop the update. You will brick your phone.

Some people have had to wait 5-7 minutes before the phone restarted and finished the update.

I don't know about others, but my phone automatically reboots after 50%.
[Captivate General] Pmac25:
Yep reboot at 50% and then tells you that it failed with no way to start it up again.
[Captivate General] mmm_tacos:
A successful update is slow to start (it prepares longer).

Failed one usually races to 50% and displays "Update is Failed" and reboots.

It is not the patience of the user in question.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l7777:
Anyone know where to look if someone were interested in fiddling with the battery charging graphic that shows up when the phone is powered off?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
You'd have to fiddle with framework-res.apk. That involves you decompiling whatever ROM you have now, decompiling the framework-res, finding the pngs that show the battery stats when the phone is turned off, editing them, then building everything back up again and flashing your new ROM.

Thread
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmm_tacos:
When the phone is powered off I thought the batter indicator were qmg files and not pngs.

These cannot be edited as far as I know.

You can find them in /system/media

The names are a qmg file for each 5%. So you have battery_charging_10.qmg etc

Each file contains 5 images (the dots move below the battery a total of 5 times).

I spec'd the qmg container, but I couldn't get any further. There looks to be some type of compression on the images.

Far as I got:

Those are QMG files, dont think we are going to edit those anytime soon.
[Vibrant General] eortizr:
I can confirm.. that the GPS issue is not fixed only with the GPS Files from the leaked Rom. At least on my device..

I have tried both ROMS (Bionix and Twiz) and I'm never able to get a GPS fix unless I wait like 2 minutes for the first time and then I have to Open GPS Status (market app) to kind of wake up the GPS and then get a fix. I have tried several times and is always the same result... on the other hand... once I install the JI2 leaked ROM... I can get a GPS Fix in less than 20 Seconds in the first try, ALWAYS,, after that I can go to Maps and get a fix in less than 3 seconds every time. So, I'm sure that there is something else in the ROM that is fixing the GPS...
[Vibrant General] Dougefresh91:
I installed the gps fix only and it was working pretty good for me where I live in Florida. However, tuesday I flew out to Ohio on business and it was pretty hit and miss there. Currently I'm in North Carolina and I can't get a flicker of a signal on the gps. Kind of disappointing after thinking it was fixed.
[Vibrant General] Goog1e Phone:
I honestly think the exact same thing. I applied the gps fix from the leaked j12 update and it always takes 2 min to get a lock. After I reboot my phone, I always have to wait another 2 min.

Sent from my Samsung Vibrant
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I get a fix in under 5 seconds - with WiFi off. The JI2 update fixes the compass which can and will mess up Navigation like Google Nav.

To play that broken record

Sats with SNR's below 17 will 1) Not Lock & 2) will show at 0 SNR with GPSTest regardless of what the reading is below 17. This means no GPS for you under poor GPS conditions. Other phones will lock with SNR's below 17 but the fix is less accurate.

Will not lock or it will take a LONG time to lock over WiFi. Disable WiFi for best performance... (odd bug here).
[Vibrant General] acjames:
My GPS would just freeze up my phone, after applying the patch not only does the GPS work but i am usually connecting to 7-8 Sats out of 10.
[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
BTW, I asked people in the Captivate forum to list their GPS settings after a successful update:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=8290175&posted=1#post8290175

There's a new address for the SUPL server:

- h-slp.mnc410.mcc310.pub.3gpp

Tried it and I can pick up satellites a bit quicker (subjective impression), but it doesn't really work for me.

Anyone else want to give it a shot?
[Vibrant General] boomerbubba:
On the leaked Vibrant ROM, one tester I worked with had very bad performance when changing the server values (not to the address above, which I think comes from the new Captivate firmware, but to the old values floated on the forums weeks ago). After experimenting, he seemed to get the best results simply enabling MS Based mode and leaving those server details stock.

I have come to believe there is not much sense in amateurs playing with the SUPL settings. The operators of the SUPL servers seem to have a relationship with specific carriers, and I think there is some handshaking that goes on. I would advise leaving well enough alone.
[EVO 4G Accessories] saqibaz:
Hey guys, just wondering if anyone knows any good, cheap FM transmitters that would work for the HTC EVO. My car doesn't have blue tooth so I need to buy one of these! Obviously, the main reason I'm getting one of these is for music.

If anyone has one, tell me about it.

Thanks
[EVO 4G Accessories] xBudahx:
Unless you live in the middle of nowhere, don't waste your money. I've tried a bunch and they are all terrible.

The only good ones are the ones that are hardwired to the antenna.
[EVO 4G Accessories] ElAguila:
if you can find one, I bought one of the generic white ones that is similar to the tunecast 2. But it was made in china. I took it apart to do the antenna mod that you can do with the tunecast 2 and sure enough there was a pots inside. When i adjusted it I could pick really good. If you want something that will broadcast you can try the digital transfmitter from c crane. I have heard good things about it.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I have the Motorola t 505 Bluetooth fm transmitter. It's an ok fm transmitter. I wish it had a stronger fm signal... living in nyc, there aren't too many good empty stations to use..... another downside to the t 505 is the price.... I think its still a bit high.
[EVO 4G Accessories] dabigcheezze:
What kind of car do you have, does it have the factory radio in it, if not what make and model stereo is in it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] DarkManX4lf:
I'm going to assume the OP has the factory stereo system in his car that does not have a aux in and a blue tooth module.
[EVO 4G Accessories] DamienChaos:
+1 for the Moto T505. Perhaps due to the fact that my car's FM antenna is built into the rear defroster, my FM reception is typically quite poor with most FM transmitters. However, living in a much less urban area than NYC, I've no problem finding solid FM stations for the T505.

[EVO 4G Accessories] scientia:
I just got this the other day on a recommendation and all I can is wow, it actually works. You won't be getting concert sound from it but if your deck has no tape/bluetooth/aux this is your best option. And if you don't like it Meritline is great with their returns ;)
[EVO 4G Accessories] beatblaster:
+1 here as well. I got the T505 in my car and it rocked - at first. The more and more I use it, the more and more I regret buying it. I'm saving money to buy a stereo deck with Bluetooth built in instead. I live in Chicagoland and even if I do find a clear station you can totally tell the audio quality isn't up to par. Do yourself a favor and get a deck with built in Bluetooth. You'll be much, much happier.
[EVO 4G Accessories] PPCUserT:
i actually bought the t505 a few weeks ago. posted a review on it here.

i live in NYC and it works great for me.

great buy imo, and if you order online its like 50-60.

i'm not trying to contest a deck with BT built in, i'm 100% sure that's better, but this works great for me and is dramatically cheaper.

imo, try to t505, if it doesnt work out, return it and save up for a good head unit with bt built in.

Im basically trying to set the phone up to work with ATT and im not sure what settings to use for the GPS or the MMS.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] redpoint73:
You still haven't answered the basic question of what program you are trying to get the GPS working on. Google Maps and Bing typically need no configuration in order to connect to the GPS.

One simple, free troubleshooting app is Visual GPSce (just Google it). Settings for the GPS are COM4 and 4800 baud. The app should quickly start seeing satellites once the GPS settings are entered. Otherwise you have something else going on.

I had a similar problem, and Visual GPSce did the trick for me.

I unrooted this morning and was doing the latest official update. The download was quite slow so I left my phone aside and its screen went black.

After a while when I got back to the phone, I pressed the power button as usual, however, the screen didn't turn back on. After a few tries of either pressing or holding the power button, nothing happened. Then I decided to remove the battery and try restarting. No use...

Did search on this forum and then tried numerous ways to unbrick it, tried several procedures and combo of volumn key + power button + odin etc. Guess what, it stays as a brick.

Well, in some threads, it was mentioned that others' captivate can go to some kind of diagnosis mode without complicated procedure. In my case, no matter how I try, brick is alway a brick...

While now I'm waiting for ATT to fedex me a replacement, as a last resort, I'm posting this thread to see if I could get any help...

Million thanks!

and those ^&*@#ing ATT that sent us the wrong software update doesnt care, and they only offer me a refurbished phone...

errr.... my phone is NEW when i bought it, it works properly, ATT tried to update my phone, and they bricked it... and now they dont want to take the responsibility by giving me new phone... they not only waste my time, and my data, but my money too!! i am paying NEW for this phone, not a refurb!

i like android, but i dont think i can stand this anymore... if this were apple's iphone, the apple store will replace my phone with no question asked...

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] beatblaster:
Oh, I get it now. Well, after reading that post it looks like this B2 ROM you're looking at will only flash over a CM6 nightly ROM. Specifically, Magnus stated this in the B2 ROM post:

"-built from the newest version of cm6=9.15nightly-"

and

"IF YOU ARE HAVING ISSUES BUT REALLY WANT TO TRY THIS OUT, USE THE FOOLPROOF METHOD LISTED BELOW:

-NANDROID-

-FLASH OVER A NIGHTLY-

OR

-WIPE-

-FLASH/RESTORE A NIGHTLY-

-FLASH ROM-

-ENJOY CM6 GOODNESS-"

--------------------------------

So, with that being said (and reading over the B2 post) here's what I would do if I were you:

I'm assuming you're already rooted and want to perform a fresh wipe of your phone:

- Use Titanium Backup or MyBackup to backup your data and apps

- Reboot into your recovery app (I prefer Amon RA, link can be found in my signature)

- Make a Nandroid backup

- Wipe data

- Wipe cache

- Wipe Dalvik cache

- Flash a CM6.1 nightly ROM (link to CM6 nightly thread can be found in my signature, go there to find the download link for the nightlies, it's in the OP)

- Boot into CM6.1 nightly

- Once loaded into CM6.1 nightly, reboot into your recovery app

- Flash Magnus' B2 CM ROM

- Reboot

- Enjoy

That should just about do it. Once you get B2 running please redirect your support questions to the B2 thread as I'm not running that ROM nor do I have any intention to :) (this means I'm not the best help once you have operational problems, I'm trying to do you a favor not be a d--k)

Just bought a "brand new" HTC HD2 online and I am questioning if the usb cable is the original one. The end that plugs into the phone is really hard to shove in and fitment just doesn't look right to me. I need something to identify if I have the right one and not being scammed. On the end that goes into the phone there is an "Arrow" image and other side no arrow but oddly the only way it fits, is the arrow facing downwards.

Hope someone can help me out. TIA

PS: This is a USA T-Mobile one if that matters
[HD2 General] Faelok:
Some plugs fit more snugly than others. Does the phone charge with this plug? If yes, then it is the right plug. I havn't personally tested it that it would even fit, but if the micro side of the plug is a rectangle then it's possibly a Micro-ab USB cable (but I doubt it).

Here's a pic:

Your plug should look like the Micro-B with slighly sloped edges on one side.

Micro usb like all other variants of usb, are not usually close enough in size/shape to fit any other adapter.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diabolic:
First a disclaimer: I have searched for this quite a bit, but with software updates happening so quickly, and so many different roms out there its hard to find a conclusive answer, and different people have different needs, and with my searching at least, I have not found the answer to my specific question.

So I'm new to the Android thing, coming off a Blackberry 9700. I'm trying to figure out this whol voice dialing thing, and the only conclusion I can come to, is they based this on 1980's voice dialing software. I should mention Its rooted running CM6.

So here's the problem. I want to just push the button on my BT headset like I would with my Previous BB, HTC touch or even Samsung a920 an say "call bob". If the message was not heard, or if there is more than one Bob, I want it to say something along the lines of either "say again" or "did you mean "bob smith" or "call bob mobile or office" at which point it waits for my response and then dials.

What happens is I say "call bob". If it doesn't understand it just gives an error at which point I have to hit cancel on the phone, push the BT button once to close the connection, then again to try again. If at that point it registers, it then gives me a list of close matches with which I have to choose the correct option on the phone. What else I don't want it to do (Which it is doing quite a bit) is just randomly start to dial a string of 10 digit numbers that sound nothing like "Bob".

I can't imagine that with all of Android's/Froyo's advancements on the smartphone front that they would neglect something so important. Especially with all the new hands free laws coming into effect.

So to make a long story short, does the HTC desire/Android/Froyo/CM6 have true totally handsfree dialing? In other words can I dial a contact from my bluetooth headset without ever having to touch my phone? What am I missing here?
