[Epic 4G General] los1223:
I think it depends on the type of claim. I made an insurance claim on my Diamond because it got wet. They sent out a phone, battery, and charger (no back cover) and only asked I send the bare phone back. So I would definitely call them and make sure they know it's busted and you need the whole thing replaced.
[Epic 4G General] sultan.of.swing:
Came home for lunch and the phone was here. Came complete just like I bought it in the store. All accessories and everything. Only came with a small pouch to put the old phone in so I am assuming I don't have to send my old accessories back. That was fast though as I filed the claim online yesterday around lunchtime and already got the new one.
[Captivate General] Coldheat1906:
I have about 5 Micro USB wall charger laying around, so when I got my Captivate I was happy to see that it used a Micro USB.

My question is.... Is all of the Micro USB power supplies the same? the ones i have are from different Motorola phones.

Thanks,
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I assume you mean the wall charger. The charger and the cable are actually separate. You can plug any USB cable into this that has a female USB end. The other end could be mini, micro, ipod, or something else.

They are not all the same - the Moto charger delivers more Amps then the Captivate. Some charger deliver less. The phone will only draw what it is set to, so you can use just about all of them.
[Captivate General] Coldheat1906:
cool thanks
[Captivate General] iamjester:
The short answer: It's probably fine

The long answer:

USB is a specification, so anything using usb should be designed to run at (for USB 2.0) 4.4-5.25 V. It *should* be fine for charging any microUSB device (the "U" is for "Universal") but I guess it's possible (though unlikely) that the company that made the charger did something funky/proprietary with the voltage/amperage, which would make it not USB even though it uses a USB port. See if the charger says the operating voltage/current on it. It should say around 5V and somewhere in the range of 150-900 mA. If it does, you're golden, if it doesn't say you're still probably fine.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
The phone is actually quite picky about chargers. It can recognize a USB charger in either (1) AC wall charger or (2) USB charger. If your paritular charger can be recognized as AC charger, it can be charged in a faster rate if your wall charger can deliver. The Captivate comes with a 700ma wall charger. Some can deliver 1000ma or even higher but Captivate internally limits to 1000ma max from what I read. The higher the amprage, the faster it can charge the battery.

On the other hand, if your charger is recognized as USB charger, not only you will be prompted to select USB mode (if you configured to do so) as if you connect it to a PC, you will also be limited to maximum of 500ma of charging current per USB standard. It will be slower than the stock charger (which is slow already).
[Captivate General] icedfire101:
It is not "picky" it follows the USB specifications. For instance I have a 4 port USB wall charger that is capable of supplying 5 volts at 2000 mA to one port or 5v @ 500 mA to 4 ports. Unfortunately the charger is not complex enough to know how many devices are plugged in at once and therefore always signals to all devices to only use a maximum of 500 mA. So if those devices follow the specs they will only draw 500 mA max since it is seen as a high current device (low current devices only should draw 100 mA max).

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE OPEN UP ANY ELECTRICS EVER ESPECIALLY ONES WHEN CONNECTED TO THE AC LINES IN YOUR HOMES. IT IS A FIRE AND ELECTROCUTION RISK AND I NOR ANYONE ELSE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN STUPIDITY.

However I hacked it by adding a resistor of proper value between the data pins so that the phone if it wanted to could use the full 2000 mA. Know whenever plugged into that USB port the phone goes into AC mode and from some rough testing during the bulk charging phase the phone charges at a rate of 40% per hour instead of the USB modes 20% per hour. With this hack it takes roughly 3 hours to fully charge since the final charging stage of lithium batteries requires the current to slowly be dialed back. Thats a lot better than the USB modes 5 hours.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I say it is picky because without hacking it will only use USB mode for most wall chargers and car chargers out there. It probably won't be any problem for a slow wall charger. But for car charger, 500ma is simply not enough if you also run GPS navigation. The phone uses more than 500ma of juice in that mode. I've to hack my car charger (a 700ma USB charger designed for iPod etc) couple times to let it reliably recognize as AC charger.
[Captivate General] icedfire101:
Again that is not "picky" it is doing what it is suppose to. What we really need are companies that will follow the USB standards and make Dedicated Charging Ports on there chargers. Most companies cheap out and only make 500 mA and 700 mA products (which that is why charging is so slow). Then they sell it to consumers that don't know any better. Especially with the 700 mA chargers since consumers will think that it is better because of the bigger number but devices that properly follow the USB spec will still only draw 500 mA. (I don't know what specifications Apple follows with their device but since a lot of those that I see with 700 mA are geared toward apples device they may be able to make use of them.) I know of no open specification for a USB device to pull 700 mA.

As to why the Samsung stock charger that came with the phone is 700 mA, I m guessing it is because of cost again. I can tell you though that it doesn't short the data lines with the proper X ohm resister for a Dedicated Charging Port. So I m thinking they made their own proprietary standard there just so they could save a few bucks on each charger but still give the consumer something to feel good about for buying there overpriced stuff.

I DO NOT RECOMMEND ANYONE OPENING UP ANY ELECTRONICS, EVER. ESPECIALLY ONES CONNECTED TO THE AC LINES IN YOUR HOMES. IT IS A FIRE AND ELECTROCUTION RISK AND I NOR ANYONE ELSE TAKE RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR OWN STUPIDITY.

Dedicated Charging Ports are required to supply 1800 mA. That means if you try and hack a device that is only rated at 700 mA to be a Dedicated Charging Port the device will possibly overheat and die or cause a fire if any device actually tries to pull the 1800 mA.

As far as car chargers: It is very simple to make a Dedicated Charging Port for a car charger provided you have an old USB one you can mod. Just get a DC-to-DC converter that will convert 11-14 volts (your car battery's voltage range) to 5 volts and throw a X ohm resistor on the USB data pins. Put it all in the empty shell of the donor and your done.

Can I use baked snacks kernel on a different Rom? I'm looking to improve battery life
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EVOme:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rocklee99:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
what? doing the nand backup? that's just in case the kernel doesn't work you can restore to the previous condition your phone was in (so do it before you flash baked's kernel)

I'm not sure if his kernels will work on other roms though, I think I tried once

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zone23:
Yes the kernel can help with battery life. You should be ok with flashing a different kernel and that ROM but as posted do a NAND backup before flashing the kernel.

Baked Snack

I have no clue how you guys are doing it, but I have the 1.7 version with kernel 6.

I took it off the charger this morning (after a full charge), it is now almost dead, with very little use.

How do you guys do it? Your not shopping the images are you?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcskibadee1:
This is a newb question I know, I have searched all over the forums. i have the stock rom and am not interested in any of the roms since most of them seem to not have 4g working or some other things( cant wait until they do!). My question is how do I flash just the kernel? i have never flashed anything before and I just backed up everything with rom manager. thanks!!!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fachadick:
Wipe cache, wipe dalvic, flash like you would a Rom. Don't forget to nand first.

Sent from my blah blah blah blah

Edit - I'm assuming there's a specific kernel you have that you want to flash, and you didn't mean how to extract the kernel from a full Rom - also just noticed that you said you already backed up with rom manager. You may want to consider backing up manually through recovery or using amonra instead - nobody seems to know what exactly rom manager wipes when you tell it to wipe.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quocamole:
i think you're misinformed (or haven't searched hard enough) - most, if not all, sense based ROMs have everything working and some (i.e. wireless/usb tether, performance/efficiency tweaks, etc.). it's the cm/aosp roms that don't have everything working (yet).

flashing kernels is similar to flashing roms. there is a plethora of threads on the topic. read some of the stickies and many of your questions will be answered to get you started with flashing roms/kernels.

I have been on this forum for weeks trying to decipher all the lingo. I have not seen any Evo roms that have the 4g working, If i did I would have just used one of those.Trust me, i have searched all over this forum and others before bothering or asking stupid questions. Maybe I am searching the wrong stuff, I will search for sense based roms, thank you.

Also, I have never flashed anything before. Still trying to figure that one out. Thanks for the info guys!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quocamole:
here you go:

http://xdaforums.com/forumdisplay.php?f=653

all roms are there. aosp roms are usually the roms where everything is not working.

general steps to flashing (but always read the post from the developer for any special instructions):

1. download file to sd card

2a. get into recovery (either via quickboot app or via powering down then holding volume down button while powering up)

2b. navigating in recovery - volume keys to change selection, power button to select

3. nand backup

4. wipe data, cache and dalvik (only wipe cache and dalvik if you're flashing a kernel)

5. flash the rom/kernel you downloaded

6. reboot

7. drink beer

if something goes wrong, get back into recovery and restore your nand backup.

hope this gets you started.... but read, read, read.

good luck.

sorry OP - back on topic. did you wipe cache and dalvik before flashing the kernel? what's your up time and awake time (found in settings>about phone>battery). do you have any monitoring apps installed (i.e. system panel, android system info? you may have rogue app.

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
Its your internal built in 2gb phone memory which doesnt have enough space.

OCLF requires 1.2gb of space on it to work.

You can do what I did which was to titanium backup everything, reset to factory (frees up your phone memory), do OCLF/voodoo and then restore your backup.

Voodoo works better than OCLF but there's no permanent way of uninstalling it other than reflashing it. Got sick of waiting for Froyo and did it anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
So in order to do Voodoo i HAVE to reset factory ?

I don't have ODIN do I have to reflash ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Funkadelick:
I don't have or know how to use ODIN yet -- im still kinda new

Also, I don't have the 3 button recover/download mode -- (i can't get KIES to upgrade my firmware for the life of me) -- so flashing/reflashing isn't the best option for me

I was hoping for like an App like Ryan's was out there

I guess not. So there's only Ryan's and Voodoo ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KaliKot:
You dont have to reflash. You need to have 3 button recovery mode though and it will apply the lagfix on boot.

You'll only have to reflash if you want to completely remove voodoo from your phone instead of just disabling it.

A word of warning though. I had the same encounter earlier when OCLF couldnt lagfix my phone because of the disk space. I did voodoo and it worked but then my phone only had like 20mb left.

Its best to reset to factory, apply either lagfix and then restore your apps with Titanium Backup
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vinnie8018:
I had the same issue on JPK initially because OCLF 2.1.0 wasnt able to write to the system folder. It had prepared the files to move but failed at that point.

I assume yours is the same.

I did this to fix it:

open terminal emulator on phone and type:

su

busybox mount -o remount,rw /system

I manually deleted the file "linux.ex2" in folder /data/ext2 to free up the space...

After that rerun the lag fix, works fine

It looks like Best Buy sells the Captivate and they offer an insurance program where they replace phones that are malfunctioning.

Does anyone have any experience using the protection plan with this phone? Do you think Best Buy would cover a random shutdown issue or would they pass you off to Samsung? Do you think they would honor the AT&T two year renewal discount?

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] cellphonewizards:
I think Best Buy's "Black Tie Protection" is definately worth the $9.99 a month. I found out to be the best out there when covering your phone against accidental damage like dropping your phone! unfortunately you have to wait because they ship out the phone to see if it could be fixed, so you will have to use another phone for the time being, but its definately worth it for the coverage on the battery and charger. Also if you do go with the "Black Tie Protection," Make sure to get a reward zone membership. its free and you get points back if you dont use the protection plan over the life of the 24 months.
