[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] green_archer:
np :)

Just a heads up, it might take a while installing ROM on your Desire (30 minutes or so) so dont panic if you see the HTC logo with white background for a while.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SpiggyTopes:
OK, I'm getting closer to doing it - maybe at the weekend.

How do I know which type of screen it has?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] green_archer:
Hi,

You can follow the procedure in one of the threads here. Also, normally, most phones sold after Aug 2010 are all SLCD screens.

However, I advise you to just sent an email to HTC Customer Service to be 100% sure (this is what i did). :)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alsajosora:
I do believe that if you are upgrading to Froyo then screen type doesn't matter because it has both sets of drivers anyway. Also I think there is a list of official download find in the developers section of this site.;0-)
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tech_girl:
I have noticed that there are numerous services that would start up by themselves such as alarm, timer, email, messaging, my uploads, timescape etc, I would also like to disable off these default services since I'm using handcent sms and k9 for sms and email services and adw launcher.

Is anyone using any free app (that doesnt require root) similar to startup auditor to disable services from automatically starting up? I used the free version which only allows 5 services to be disabled.

Also what are the other services/apps that I can disable safely since I see other services like com.sonyericsson.xxxxx, or android.process.xxxx? Also what does "My Uploads" do exactly?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] zacharycbruce:
I personally use Autorun killer, but it doesn't list anything like com.sonyericsson.xxxx, only normal apk names.. You may have to fork out for the paid version of startup auditor!

Or I imagine that some of the custom ROM's out there would have modified autostart lists?
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] tech_girl:
I have yet to root my x10 mini pro, so I'm unable to use AutoKiller, unfortunately. Its really annoying to have all these services started up.

So far, Startup Auditor doesnt seem all that effective. I have disable some of the apps but still they do occassionally show up in the Task Manager. Sigh.
[Sony Ericsson XPERIA X10 Mini] NocNoc:
Does anyone know if there's any way to spoof the MMS User Agent on this phone? As a T-Mobile customer, I'm forever stuck with the '120x160' lockdown on received MMS pictures anytime I use an unlocked phone. I've been able to get around this with certain other brands (Nokia, WM), but I haven't come across anything concrete with this phone.

Doing some searching here, I've seen some custom .apk files for specific Android phones (G1, Hero, N1, etc.), but nothing more general.

Can anyone help me with this? I *can* send and receive fine; I simply receive at a tiny size. I've tried using Handcent, the stock app, etc., but I know it's T-Mo's MMS server doing this to me because it doesn't know this model.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Does anyone know of a way to get the screen to shut off after the battery recharges? A popup box tells me to unplug the cable and the screen stays on until I hit ok. This irritates me to no end as I always charge my phone at night, so the screen stays on for hours. Any way to disabled the popup box our force the screen to time out?
[Captivate General] Yggdrasil777:
I was just thinking about this, and I think I will use Tasker to turn off the screen when that happens.
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
I would also like to know the answer to this. That pop up is irritating in general.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
Your screen doesn't turn off after? Mine always has shut off after about 2 seconds.
[Captivate General] tietherope:
Same here, mine always turns off after that pop up.
[Captivate General] MikalCarbine:
Mine doesnt turn off either its annoying as hell and lights up my entire room. How can you manage this with tasker?
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
For other reasons, I prefer the option to leave the screen on while it's plugged in. So it doesn't shut back off once the popup happens.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Mine always shuts off after a period too. Do you have the setting on to stay awake when plugged in? Simple solution is to put your phone upside down when going to bed. I have to block LEDs on my computer, and its charger to sleep. My bigger annoyance was the sound it makes. I finally figured out that the System Sound controls that volume.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
There is no solution to this. From what I read, Samsung changed it in Froyo build and put this notification on notification bar instead.

If you don't like it lights up in the middle of night, why you keep the phone wake while plugged in?
[Captivate General] jwood55812:
This is what I've resorted to as well, it's not perfect, but like you say, its really annoying to have it light up the entire bedroom at night. Fingers crossed its fixed in 2.2 like someone said.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
In Settings >> Applications >> Development there's a setting named "Stay awake while charging" or something like that.

Does anyone with this problem, by any chance, have that checked? :D
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Mine doesnt do that. The message pops up that the battery is charged and to disconnect the cable, but my screen doesnt stay on. Every morning when I get up my screen is off. As soon as I hit the power button the screen wakes up and I see the fully charged message is still there so I then hit ok, but my screen is never "On" when I first wake up each morning.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
It turned out to be a problem with the AT&T JH7 update for me, actually. The screen would stay on regardless of whether that was checked or not (it actually re-checked itself as soon as I left the menu in JH7). Flashed back to JF6 and all is right with the world again. Thanks for reminding me about that option though, I was beginning to think it was some touchjizz quirk.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
No such problem here with JH7.
[Captivate General] JPS81:
Strange, I wonder why some people's stay on while some do not. If it were a "Stay awake while charging" option issue, then the phone wouldn't have shut off the screen in the first place when you first insert the cable.

What version of firmware are you guys having this issue using?

I'm on stock. Sometimes I actually miss when it's fully charged for an hour or two because it shuts off the screen after a few seconds.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Why not charge it with it off?
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
There are various reasons you may not want the screen to automatically turn off while it's charging. I would rather just manually click the power button if it's plugged in. I never rely on it auto sleeping the screen anyway. I just leave it charging overnight while I sleep so it turns on the screen when it's full and doesn't shut off.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Mine was one of the updates that "failed", but said it was running JH7 after reboot anyway. It actually worked well with noticeable improvements in GPS performance; apparently that screen problem was some side effect though. Who knows :\
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] bigle420:
Ok i have been sure to be careful in every step of this root but when i get to recovery mode my phone states E:Can't open /sdcard/update.zip(no such file or directory) Installation aborted i have triple checked that the file is there and spelled correctly has anyone had this issue or have an idea how to get by this draw back thanks
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wmwilker:
It probably has .zip.zip. Download Astro from the market and look at the file. Also it must be all lower case.

This should be in the Captivate general forum. You would get a lot more responses there.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
Hello,

I just added some .vin files to update a music folders album art on my storage card. The phone locked up and will lockup ever time I select the Sense Music Player after a soft reset. It was working fine before. I have taken the newly added files off the storage card but still having the same issue. I'm really hoping I do not have to do a hard reset as the phone seems fine until I select the music player. I just got everything put back together from a hard reset over the weekend... Please help!

Thanks
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] I2eaper:
I got no replies on this but figured it out shorty after posting :p

If you run into this issue, delete the file called AudioManager_Eng located in My Device\Application Data\HTC\AudioManager_Eng. I hope this can help someone else.

Thank you th3_g00b,

You set a new standard for the forum with this approach:D

I'm getting somewhat tired of the heckling shown elsewhere for honest mistakes.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:
I THINK, but I may be wrong, that since this method only requires putting files onto the sdcard and letting recovery and hboot do all the work, there should be no problems with using a mac.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Albaholic:
Correct, since this method does not involve using an exe
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thenewguy821:

[Captivate General] vinunleaded182:
I just bought my wife an iPhone 4 (she previously had the 3G then 3GS). I gotta say the iPhone 4 is definitely much better than Captivate even before jailbreak. Dont get me wrong, I love the Captivate. Its my first Android phone. The iPhone 4 battery life is insane. Screen is SHARP. And you know what else? The iPhone apps have much better quality. I can download 2 of the same apps made for each OS by the same developer and the iOS one almost always have a better quality.

I love the fact that the Captivate is not made by Apple. Android is definitely a true iOS contender. But is it better? No. It will probably get there though.
[Captivate General] cclem700:
*yawn*
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Obvious troll is obvious
[Captivate General] vinunleaded182:
Have you tried both phone? Care to explain why you think im a troll?
[Captivate General] r34p3rex:
Because you're on XDA on the Captivate forums creating a new thread just to say how much better another phone is than the Captivate?

I have both the iPhone 4 and the Captivate and find myself using the Captivate much more often than the iPhone. The iPhone is fine for people who are tech illiterate, much like how Macs are fine for people who can't take care of a normal PC.
[Captivate General] tysj:
I don't even understand why people keep bringing up a iPhone v. some Android phone debate. You like red and I like blue. Both are great phones, but coming into a place specifically for Winmo/Android devices to preach about an iPhone is pointless. There should a a filter on new threads that prevents anything with iPhone in the title or body (good or bad) from being created. It's getting old.
[Captivate General] buddy17:
when will people realize WE DONT CARE if the iphone is better....i would be willing to be 95 percent of the people on the captivate section has used an iphone 4. We are still here...if we wanted an iphone (or wanted to read about it) we would have gone elsewhere.

THAT is why you are a troll. have a great day
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
The iPhone is a joke.

Moving on.
[Captivate General] ozy944:
Captivate is an AT&T phone....majority of smartphone users who moved to a Captivate did so from an iphone after the contract ended.

Everybody is entitled to their favorites and thats a good thing. However, its almost meaningless to go into the captivate thread and say:

"Hey guys, i hate iphone, i bought android, but now i realize i actually prefer iphone"...... people will bag you out, call you a troll etc as no one wants to be told, sorry, you bought a ticket on the wrong train.

Its your view if you dont like apple but admire their well-thought out system/structure but things on android dont change overnight.

Its oft discussed how android apps still feel like beta, but give it time and like you said, it'll balance out. Just have a look at the change from android 1.6 to 2.2

I suspect these two things (below) may change the situation as well:

[Captivate General] tkienzle:
Hmmm ok big deal iphone so yesterday...
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I admit the iPhone is easier - it is made so simple that anyone can use it - that is some of its appeal. If the designer only gives one way to access an app or do something then there is no confusion. Simplicity equals success.

Other then it being designed for the average person, i see little in your explanation to make it superior. The screen is higher density, but i prefer the deeper blacks of the AMOLED. The battery life is better in some tests and worse in others (Captivate did better in rated talk time, iPhone worse). Go to apple's forums and there are just as many people complaining about bad battery life as good - it all goes back to which apps are sucking down juice and the the iPhone has plenty of offenders.

As for app quality; the iPhone app world is more mature so there are more games; but of the 20 apps I use, they all look identical on my iPhone 3G as they do on my Android. BTW, where are all the widgets for the iPhone?

Everyone has different tastes - the iPhone is a fine for people that want it, but consider this:

1. iPhone 4 has a serious design flaw with the antenna - Apple made the decision to embrace form over function. Even Consumer Reports gave it a "do not buy rating" and they loved all past iPhones.

2. For enhanced functionality you must jailbreak - and then you are months behind OS updates waiting on developer updates

3. Re-jailbreaking every few months gets old fast

4. You are locked into the apple model. iTunes is required, no using drives as mass storage, limited to syncing with one PC/Mac, etc.

The iPhone is different, but I would not say it is better. It is made for the simple minded and it does that well.
[Captivate General] ScottyNuttz:
Iphone 4 > Captivate FOR NOOBS!

Just be careful with that iphone screen... It scratches as easily as the droid incredible.

"I are has iPhone 4G and it are better than phone than all other has. I have posting onto android forum to prove I are know bester phone than are all you. You has impressed."
[Captivate General] joeybear23:
I have both.

Captivate is superior, in my opinion... iPhone4 is just more user friendly.

A Honda Civic is more user-friendly than a Leerjet... that doesn't make the Civic better.
[Captivate General] terrigan:
I do believe that each phone has it's userbase, like a previous post, the iPhone are for people who like to be told how and what to do with their device. If you want to do any customization, good luck. You want to develop for the phone? You need to shell out cash for a Mac, if you don't already have one.

The Android platform is much more open, sure you have to root/sideload to accomplish things but most carriers lock phones just because they want to avoid any piracy problems. The phone is very customizable and open source, the SDK is free and multiplatform, meaning you can write apps on Windows, OSX and even Linux. So yeah.. before touting how great the iPhone is just because of the bigger screen and the thousands of fart apps you can download from the app store, you might want to do some research.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
It must be troll season, everyone get a license. Is there a limit on trolls?

You will find an equal amount of people that say the iPhone is better, compared to the amount that says android is better. Its a preference.

Its obvious both are successful, and both have an audience.

The phone OS scene isn't crowded, there's room for more. Webos has potential, BB may get with the program eventually, and windows phone looks to be the next big thing.

I'm glad you're happy with your iPhone, I couldn't be happier since I put mine down.

How many "Captivates suck" posts does the Captivate forum need?
[Captivate General] id10terrordfw:
Speaking as a former Mac Genius at the Fort Worth Apple Store, I can tell you unequivocally that the iPhone has multiple issues. It's not just the 4 with it's known antenna and proximity sensor issues.

Just LOL at fail troll. LOL.

I have had every iPhone version... 8GB, 3G, 3GS, and 4. I returned the 4 because I don't think a free s****y case is a fix for a device that is defective and costs me over 1400 dollars. (subsidized purchase price+ two year contract) Fix the device. That is what set me over the edge.

And I couldn't be happier. I have yet to drop a single call with my Captivate. Every 3G based iPhone I have has dropped calls, usually in the same places. Like my house. The Captivate does not. Even with all the different ROM's and kernels I have loaded on it, it is still trucking along like a champ.

I got my iPhone 3G replaced 4 times in one year. 3GS 6 times. The 4 I had from launch day til late July. I'm still on the original Captivate.

I wouldn't go back.
[Captivate General] vinunleaded182:
Wow look at all the nerd rage lol. Im new to this General forum and Ive seen several iPHone VS Android threads so I thought it was okay to discuss about the iPhone here too. All I see is people attacking the iPhone because they have some personal problem with Steve Jobs or AT&T. I kinda expected nerd rage but damn I tried so hard to be neutral in the OP. I thought I'd make a thread where people with unbiased opinions can discuss about the iPhone and Captivate.

If you look at the iPhone 4 objectively, with no bias. The device is a beautiful piece of technology in our generation. Despite some flaw like iTunes (grrr), stupid nerd politics and the antenna issue which is a non-issue to us. Were not fat and dont grip the **** out of our phones when we talk.

But anyway, If I offended any nerd here I apologize, kind of. Its really not entirely my fault you are mentally weak and cant handle different views
[Captivate General] Justinph5:
Do we really not have a mod that will delete or lock these threads?

Sure, because that's not trolling right there.
[Captivate General] tanneji:
You did not start a discussion by saying "Iphone vs Android - Pros and Cons?" You said "sorry guys iPhone is better". Don't pretend to come in here saying how level headed and benevolent you are and that those of us here are the small minded ones. If I look at the Captivate it is a beautiful piece of technology in our generation. If you love the iPhone so much, then go buy one and talk **** on their forums. Do not come in here barking at people who have made a decision to go with Android and calling them stupid and weak minded. We are here to further learn, customize, break, fix and all of the other wonderful things we can do with Android. If you aren't here to talk about that then, go back to the iPhone forum and talk about all of the cool things you can do with that there.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
They do it because they don't want some moron deleting /system and walking into their store because it doesn't work.

Iphone is great.... right, right right.. :rolleyes:

A co-worker has an iPhone 4, he got his hands on my Captivate and LOVED IT!

I showed him that on the Captivate we could just drag and drop a 720p .avi or .mkv or whatever movie file right on to the Captivate and it would play.

Try doing that with iTunes! Oh wait, you can't! You have to convert whatever video file to an .mp4, which means... you will probably loose some video quality.

I had an iPhone in the past and I will NEVER go back to one.
[Captivate General] k0sun7eash3d:
Seeing as you're on a Samsung Captivate forum, I don't expect you'll see many people attacking the iPhone because it's an AT&T phone.

Android and iOS are simply two different operating systems that are suited to two very different types of users. In the grand battle that is Apple vs. the world, it isn't necessarily Apple that frustrates me; it's the hordes of Apple fanboys that insist they have the superior product with a clear lack of information, touting only what their savior Steve Jobs tells them in his silly keynote speeches (which to me seem to be as much of a media hype as Lebron James getting a 1-hour ESPN special just for being traded).
[Captivate General] vinunleaded182:
So okay I was wrong for saying iphone 4 > Captivate. That is my honest opinions. But whats wrogn with discussing iPhone 4 vs Captivate issues here? It is related to the Captivate. Ill stop responding for the sake of not offending more people but seriously? Really?

Id also like to add that people hate the iPhone because of the Apple fanboys then quickly attack anything Apple or defend anything anti-Apple are douchebags
[Captivate General] orb_526:
I hope the OP got the one with the more GB's :D
[Captivate General] MarcianoS:
They are both great phones, and neither is perfect. I bought the Captivate mainly because it is easily unlocked, and I spend ~2months a year out of the country. However, I am now honestly much happier than I thought i would be, despite the iffy GPS :-)

Just my $0.000000002 worth.
[Captivate General] dan828:
Congratulations, you succeeded in picking a fight, as you intended. Nice faux insulting apology too, just to stir up more ****. I've really never understood why people enjoy trolling so much, I mean, you're basically just being an asshole to piss people off, and then sitting back and enjoying the reaction. As I don't like to associate with assholes in real life, I don't enjoy them on forums such as this either. Kudos to you sir, for making these forums less enjoyable for everyone.

Bought the iPhone 4 on release day. Returned it after 3 weeks when the Captivate came out.

Yeah
[Captivate General] mikewong27:
I upgraded my iphone 3g to iphone 4 when it first came out. Used it for only two days and go so bored of it. It's exactly like iphone 3g: same screen size, same old boring IOS4 (with new features) ect... ect... I can only customize iphone 4 after I Jailbroke it. I decided to give it to my wife since she likes a phone that is easy to use. I decided to purchase captivate from wirefly. After using it for one and half months, I still love it. Still discovering new things that I do with it. I just love customizing the Captivate. I love it's 4 inch display and the awesome colors. It's super fast and I just love using it on a daily basis. I will only purchase another iphone only if it has bigger screen ( larger than 4 inch) and better iOS.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
This thing its getting old, whogivesa**** you think the iPhone 4 it's better. That's your opinion. I switch to android as soon the nexus one was made available for at&t and I never going back unless apple does a drastic change to it's ios. Got tire of waiting on apple to include basic stuff, fw 4.0 still behind what android could do. Can someone delete this useless thread.
