Hey guys, quick question:

I'm fully rooted/one-click CWM'd (stock everything, however), and I just got the OTA DI18 update notification. When I tried to install it, it booted to the stock recovery (blue text) and said something about verification of the signature failing...installation aborted.

Now, how would I go about either uninstalling CWM, or reflashing the stock recovery? I can't find anything that really goes into detail about any of this.

Any help would be most appreciated!
[Epic 4G Android Development] brian_hoffman:
Same thing here, except I also had a overclocked kernel. What I did was use ODIN, there is a thread here. I downloaded the stock files full install.

1) Download full recovery image and Pit file

2) Open Odin and point to the PIT file downloaded and in PDA section point to the full firmware.

3) Check only Reboot and Debug in ODIN

4) Power on phone while holding 1 on the keyboard (it will go into download mode)

5) in ODIN press START and flash image

6) Then update to to the new image

7) Re root phone using 1 click

8) Install Clockwork Mod again 1 Click

9) update superuser

Have fun

Whew. Worked with the full release (the zImage.tar failed and near-bricked my phone haha). Getting the DI07 update now, should hopefully see the new one soon-ish. Then I'll re-root and restore my backup.

Hello, everyone!

I made a new Gmail account yesterday and tried to add it to my phone, but the "Data and Synchronization" page (where you can choose which services should be synced) is blank.

I'm only trying to sync Gmail, but I'm getting nothing. My other account (I have three more) are fine and everything shows up.

Yes, I did enable IMAP (and POP) in Gmail settings.

I'm running the latest CyanogenMod (v6.0).

Any help would be appreciated!

*EDIT* Okay, after five or so reboots, everything is okay now. Weird.
[Epic 4G General] compuw22c:
So lately I've been hearing commercials now about the incredible where they reference their new "Super LCD" displays. Please help me re-affirm my assumptions that this is a marketing change and not a technological one. That is, phones with LCD displays are trying to claim they're still relevant/getting better without ACTUALLY changing anything about the technology (and grabbing the "super" from "super amoled"). Or am I incorrect and they actually did make some progress at making LCD any better? Not that I'd ever trade in my precious epic, but I'm just the kind of guy who likes to call BS on everything marketing.
[Epic 4G General] gTen:
It is better the LCD..but its no Super AMOLED...think of it like TVS...when LCD first came out and LCD now...Super LCD is just a higher quality LCD..but its still LCD...

Aka is it an improvement? Yes, is it a marketing gimmick? Yes..
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
There is also an increase from 800x480 to 960x680 if not mistaken, but yeah it went up.
[Epic 4G General] greengoldmello:
nah, thats not true. the only manufacturers that have a 960x640 resolution in a cellphone is Apple(retina display) and Sharp (yet to be released is03)
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
SLCD supposedly has a better viewing angle - essentially an IPS screen.
[Epic 4G General] Apollo83:
What about battery life? IS SLCD better than our AMOLED screens in terms of how much energy is sucked down?
[Epic 4G General] APOLAUF:
This really depends on the display configuration. If you have a SAMOLED display with a light background and dark text, you're going to use up a LOT of power, especially in bright daylight. LCD *technically* uses less power in this scenario; LCD requires most power when displaying an all-black screen, as ALL the transistors, and thereby display crystals, are being subjected to power, effectively blocking out the backlight. It's possible though that some screens are smart enough to dim the backlight in this case, increasing your contrast, but as long as any white is being displayed, the backlight will goto full.

So, on dark backgrounds, SAMOLED wins quite easily, whereas LCD will suck down the same amount of power no matter what is displayed, with the very small exception that displaying all black (or dark) will draw a negligibly-larger amount of power.

From my own testing, I can see that SAMOLED occupies a lot more battery usage percentage than when I had the Evo. This could be because the Epic's radio power management is better, or because it has been using more power to display, I'm not quite sure, though I'll venture to say that it's the display.

That's why I use dark backgrounds for whatever I can - it does make a difference, and saves on wear and tear. Honestly though, it might be within 10-20% power requirement difference between the two technologies at any given time.
[Epic 4G General] lepapirriky:
yeah, wrong display.

[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ToWi1989:
CAN you even? :S
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] MagickalShadow:
You would have to have a custom ROM built for your phone unless there is someone else out there with the exact same model of phone that is running Android. That is why there are so many people with newer models of phones, like the Kyocera Zio that can not upgrade to FROYO or Eclair. They have to wait for the ROM to be built. (At least that is my understanding)

Thanks guys

I am trying Boushh Rhobuntu Shortcut Dinik.cab but kept getting stuck with booting. Says it can't find the "default.txt" script. To get it going I refreashed my HTC by clearing the memory and going back to scratch. Then before I did ANYTHING else I copied over the files and folders from my Laptop to the SD Card. Restart and boot. WOrked a treat.

Then went to XDANDROID and copied over the cab file to the SD Card and installed from the cab. Almost worked. Tried deleting the data file and re installing.... DId several times, until I managed to get it going with Project Android 2.2Blazin.092810

Only two major issues!!!

There is no sound to the phone or alarms and notification. The ONLY option is SILENT and

I think this may be related, it states that there is no SD card installed, which is less than honest as the system was installed and booted from the card! ANd I think that MAYBE where the sound files are that causes the SILENT only mode above.

Any helpers, welcome
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] slackwaresupport:
anyone got Tat home replacement??
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
Is there a tool that can test/adjust the sensitivity of the Epic's capacitive buttons? Mine seem unresponsive and I'd love to know if the hardware is not sensitive or the software is ignoring the taps.

Something that displays a readout showing which button is being pushed would be really useful.

Thanks,

Jason
[Epic 4G General] Deleted member 2173701:
there really isnt. its being classified as a hardware issue. i swapped the board out on mine the other day with a returned phone and it started working. taking the phone apart to fix the button at the bottom is a complete pain in the face. and if the gorilla glass faceplate comes out (which needs to happen to swap out the buttons) then it never really goes in correctly. nor does it stay stuck.take it back to sprint and see if you can do a 30 day exchange on it.
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
Thanks. I got mine at Best Buy and have their insurance. They'll fix/replace it for free but they have to send it to their service center and give me a loaner. I almost replaced it within the 30 days but when I took off the screen protector (Skinomi) to give it back, the keys were working great. I decided to hold on to the phone. Now I have another protector on it (Realook) and am having the same problem. I'm assuming the button is less sensitive than it should be so it works fine without the protector but not well with it. I might have to switch to a partial-screen protector.
[Epic 4G General] akijikan:
So if my buttons are very difficult to press then its an issue and not the general design of the phone itself?

My wife said she has no problems with the buttons so I'm going to have to compare hers to mine.
[Epic 4G General] dieselg5:
Same exact situation. I was using the Realook screen protector and everything worked fine except for the back button. After I took it off I noticed that the back button worked just fine. After using it a little longer I still feel like it's not as responsive as the other three buttons.
[Epic 4G General] dever76:
There's a couple of ways you could do this:

Every time you press a capacitive button, it should blink right after it registers. This indicates it was pressed.

Another way is to boot into Clockwork Recovery Mode, goto Advanced, and use the key/button test option that's in there.

I'm also using a Realook screen protector, so far it's the best I've tried. I've used Zagg, Invisishield, StealthGuard, and Amzer protectors and non of them had the clarity or feel of the Realook. It feels and looks like nothing is there, aside from being an oil magnet. Anyhow, I don't have any reduced sensitivity when using it compared to bare.

One trick I use to apply the Realook is cover the whole phone with 4 or 5 strips of scotch tape (overlapping each other) before application, it helps to get rid of all the super fine dust particles that are floating around. Also, use a high power flashlight, and shine its beam across the surface of the screen, it will make all the dust you couldn't see before light up. Have a few looped pieces of scotch tape ready to pluck off dust particles that get stuck on the protector and screen. Then get the Realook protector ready, pull your strips of scotch tape as one from the top and quickly align the protector, pull more tape off and follow with the protector, this insures no dust thats floating around will get on your screen or protector, if some does, you have the flashlight to easily show you and the tape at the ready to pluck them off.

Reason I said the above is because you might have minute dust particles that are creating a gap with just enough space to prevent your capacitive buttons from registering.
[Epic 4G General] jasonsf:
I took drastic measures and cut a rectangle hole out of the Realook protector so I could have direct access to the buttons. It is ugly, but it works. The back button works much better now.

Hi.

Is there Radio for CM6.0, Nightly builds? Where can it be download from?

Thanks.
[Legend Android Development] JonasDroid:
It isn't supported by Cyanogen mod, and I've heard Ali Ba isn't going to include it if it isn't supported by cyanogen. So for now (and probably for ever) no.

EDIT: You were referring to FM radio I guess?
[Legend Android Development] whitetigerdk:
Guess not.. Referring to radio.img.. you should be able to just use latest from stock.. all CM builds come without this one :)

[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
So I have been having some issues playing .flac files.

It was my understanding through searching this forum and other online places that the Captivate does support .flac

I have found this to be iffy.

I am running 2.1.5 Cog with Voodoo; however, I don't think that this has any affect on this.

I managed to get a few of the .flac audio files to play; however, then the preinstalled media player would crash.

I have tried several of the market addons, including "Extra Media Scanner" which is the only way any media player can actually see .flac

Any ideas?
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:

[Captivate General] 88EVGAFTW:
Why would you want to try to play FLAC on a device that has sound quality no where near a high quality 200$+ sound card for a PC? Better yet, will you even notice the difference in FLAC vs MP3 on a phone using normal earbuds? Probably not and never will. Unless you get some head phones that cost as much as the Captivate and a high quality head phone amp, I see no reason to try to play FLAC on this, or any hand held device. I have a hard time telling the difference from FLAC and 320 Kbps MP3s on a 130$ sound card and 80$ 2.1 head phones on my computer.
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
Thanks for the reply, but I do have high quality, over the ear, studio monitor, 150$ headphones. But that isnt even the point... I have an extremely large collection of music in flac that I dont feel like converting. Yeah, i know that i can hardly tell, if at all between flac and 320 mp3. still not the point though. Not trying to be a ****, but I'm looking for more of a technically approached answer rather than logical reasoning

i siad it was coming and here it is. i couldn't find a video online for this so i decided to make my own. i take apart at least 100 phones a week and hadn't taken my phone apart yet so here it goes.

the nokia 6300 speaker is an almost identical replacement speaker for the incredible. for 2.99 with free shipping you can get this and fix it yourself. since i hate having to send my phone away just like the rest of the world. any questions comments or concerns let me know. here is the link to the ebay seller and the youtube video. i hope you enjoy.

any help?
[Droid Incredible General] sengokubattosai:
Is there a significant advantage to buying the Nokia speaker over the Incredible replacement speakers that you can also find on eBay? Aside from price of course. My speaker just blew and replacing the speaker beats buying a new phone, especially since the only replacement phone I'd be able to afford would be a disappointment after having an Incredible.

When I get calls while tethering wirelessly it drops the connection.

CDMA cannot do simultaneous voice and data therefore if you get a call while tethered your data connection will be suspended.

I just tried this app and website just to test it. I put my phone on Silent after installing the app and then tried the website with my Google Voice number (I had my 3G on). I saw it on the screen, and I saw it raise the volume, but even though it had turned the volume up, it never rang.

Might have been quirk.

Just now (10 minutes later) I tried it again after putting it back on silent, this time with my real cell number and it worked, although for a moment it appeared that it might do the same thing.

Regardless, all one would have to do is try it a second time if they didn't find it the first time. Thanks for this!

I was wondering about some of the devs on here on what the status of compiling the custom kernel? I know there was issues with defconfig being left out by Samsung but someone overcame the issue but then it went all quiet. I was curious if everyone was waiting when 2.2 launches on Black Friday to finish a custom kernel or if something else is going on.
[Fascinate Android Development] wicked_beav:
Well if you're concerned with it and want to keep up on the latest and greatest... just go hang out in freenode #samsung-fascinate instead of posting a thread requesting people to update you with the status of a custom kernel.

[Fascinate Android Development] DigitalDementia:
I have been wondering the same thing. I understand that 2.2 is the latest and greatest, but what's stopping people from building 2.1 ROMS and showing off their awesome work while we wait?

Also I don't see why it's a big deal to ask about the kernel here, last time I checked this was the development section and "development" on the kernel went hush hush. Also IMO IRC is too busy and cluttered for my liking.
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
to answer the point of this post yes there are custom kernels
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
BTW guys im not going to post any links bc i havent ask. but if you go to #samsung-fascinate irc channel there are a couple of OC'd custom kernels floating around, so give or take another day or 2 and they will be all over the place. thanks to jt and dirrk
[Fascinate Android Development] stanrc:
Do the custom kernels have any other optimizations? The phone is fast enough at 1 ghz.
[Fascinate Android Development] ksizzle9:
not yet i dont beleive, they got it to compile which was apparently a feat in itself so just a little bit longer and we should be ready for things to switch into high gear. if you go into the irc room you can test out some of the kernel and im sure that they wouldnt care a bit
[Fascinate Android Development] Zennmaster:
In all seriousness, are the IRC sessions logged anywhere?
