[Captivate General] Culverin:
I seem to be having problems getting access into recovery mode.

It's a brand new Captivate and it came preloaded with Firmware 2.1-update1

I've looked into the other 2.1-update1 threads and nobody seems to have this issue.

I tried variations on this, but from everything I'e heard, this should work just fine:

Hold both volume buttons while powering on and keep holding the power button 3 seconds after the ATT logo appears (before it power cycles itself).

Nothing triggers, and it just boots up normally.

I've also tried the "One Click Root/UnRoot" method, with no luck.

Has ATT gotta more aggressive with locking us out?
[Captivate General] a.n:
Try this exactly.

1. Power down your phone and unplug the USB cord if you have it connected.

2. Wait for it to power down completely.

3. Press and hold both volume buttons at the same time and without letting go, press and hold the power button until the AT&T logo shows up. You can let go.

4. You should be in recovery.

Remember, you're holding all three buttons at the same time. Good luck, buddy!

AT&T doesn't have control over locking you out of recovery.

[HTC Aria General] alex8525:
Hello All,

I am new to Android. I am getting my Aira tomorrow, my first Android phone. I use to have HTC TyTn before. I have flashed many ROMs on that.

Can someone guide what should I do first after getting my phone? Means complete factory settings backup using which software? Which other modifications I can make? What will void warranty and what will not?

Is there any guide?

I am trying to read other threads.

Thanks,

Alex

PS: Can anyone tell me how can I activate it without SIM card and / or without data plan?
[HTC Aria General] tpbklake:
If you have had experience with a HTC TyTn, then you know that searching XDA Developers will be your best bet to getting your questions answered.

All of your questions have been discussed numerous times in the forum, so you should be able to find all the info you need. To start your customization venture, you will need to root your Aria, which is a very simple process using Unrevoked 3.

If you have access to a WiFi hotspot, you should be able to sign into Google Market without a SIM card using a wifi connection.

Regards,

Tom

Here are a few pics of a Phantom Skinz matte full body cover. I like the top part that covers the screen and chrome but I'm not too sure about the cover for the sides of the phone. Right now, I'm leaning towards using a clear case for the bottom and using the Phantom Skinz for the top.
[Droid 2 Accessories] dngen:
Can you give a review of the cover?

How does it feel? Does it protect well from scratches? My friend just got the same R2D2 Droid 2 and wants to protect it without putting a case on it
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lawliett:
Hi, I ordered a GT i9000 model from Europe (italy maybe) and live in Canada. To date, I have never seen it go on 3g (assuming a little 3g icon shows up when that happens) or seen an option to go 3g. I'm on Rogers with just standard voice plan so I was wondering if it was the plan or the phone?

Sorry if it's a stupid question. I'm new to this. :o
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
Using Touch Test, I have found that after a certain point the edges of the screen are no longer detect touch. The screenshot explains it. It also happens at the top but the ad was in the way. Should I return and get a replacement? I also have the GPS issue.
[Fascinate General] happy_hippie:
Hey.

I have the same problem.

When using some different multi touch testers, i have noticed that there is no touch in the range 10-15 pixels from either of the edges.
[Fascinate General] GoogleAndroid:
So maybe this is normal?
[Fascinate General] happy_hippie:
I think that mayby all galaxy s is having this issue but it seems to be a software 'error' as the first 10 pixels at either side is untouchable. But i would not call it normal as the pixels is needed at some points. I have contacted samsung in my country about it and is currently waiting for there reply

i have just recieved an email from them where they say i should contact my dealer. I dont know why i should do that as it is samsungs fault.

Hello, I am currently looking for a new phone with a new 2yr contract and I was wondering what everyone's opinions are. I am currently looking for:

Except for AT&T(Didnt like the service) any of the other Providers are fine

Physical Keyboard is Fine, (not needed).

Good GPU tests

Decent size screen

At least 2GB internal space

1GB Processor

HD Video playback

Must have Android OS !!!

Please reply with your suggestions. Thanks!
[General Questions and Answers] btyre:
I'd suggest the HTC HD2, because you can have the best of both worlds, Android 2.2 and Windows Mobile 6.5.*, and Windows Mobile 7 will be ported to it. Don't know if it's on AT T though.

If you want an exclusive android phone though, the G2, Desire HD or Desire Z may interest you
[General Questions and Answers] kdf2883:
Hmmm What do you all think of the galaxy phones and the Droid X, 2, Evo, and the G2?
[G2 and Desire Z General] JoshHart:
Anyone else download quick settings and notice LED flashlight and wifi tethering work?

Edit: Apparently while SSID does broadcast wifi tethering doesn't provide internet access.
[G2 and Desire Z General] elracing21:
Does it really??? Post a pic or vid
[G2 and Desire Z General] JoshHart:
Pic 1 - LED Flashlight

Pic 2 - Quick Settings Enable Hotspot

Pic 3 - Click Hotspot to set Access Point

Pic 4 - Access Point seen by my laptop
[G2 and Desire Z General] kludgineer:
Good find!

Not quite perfect yet, though. I was able to turn on the Hotspot and connect, but unfortunately I couldn't actually connect to the internet from my laptop once I was connected.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tekkaman_01:
tried it, didn't work, nice fake though...
[G2 and Desire Z General] JoshHart:
Not sure which part I'm "Faking". You have to go to settings and change flashlight to LED instead of screen, for access point if you're using windows 7 make sure its set as a home network not public and try changing the SSID name.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kludgineer:
Running Vista, I connect fine to the phone, but nothing is routed beyond the phone unfortunately. Look forward to seeing this work, though. Nice simple fix to an annoying limitation.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tekkaman_01:
Sorry, I take back what I said. I thought you were faking the pics for wifi by using another phone. on another note, linux does not see the wifi tether. but win 7 does. very odd...
[G2 and Desire Z General] weddie:
I tried connecting my computer to the hotspot but the phone doesn't give out an IP address and there aren't settings on the phone to change it. Seems like tmobile change the stock build, eh?
[G2 and Desire Z General] kludgineer:
Are you actually able to get onto the internet on Windows 7? Or just connect to the hotspot? My only Windows 7 computer Doesn't have Wifi, so I have no easy way to test that.
[G2 and Desire Z General] JoshHart:
I can't connect to the internet either :( tried a few things but you're right nothin comes through, ah well I was more excited about the flashlight anyways
[G2 and Desire Z General] tekkaman_01:
just connect to the hotspot, the phone does not give out an ip

as for the LED flashlight the Power Control plus widget lets you do that, I would have said something earlier but thought it was common knowledge.
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Great find. You can actually download nexus one led flashlight from the market. It comes with a handy widget for turning the led on or off. That will take care of having to open quick settings to switch between screen flashlight or led flashlight.
[G2 and Desire Z General] unforgiven512:
N1 Torch works
[G2 and Desire Z General] tubaking182:
when connected to the wifi on your phone do an ipconfig /all on computer, and post results for wireless network adapter
[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
Perhaps you have to check APN type under mobile networks.

My nexus one shows "default,supl,MMS" (no quoation nor spaces)
[G2 and Desire Z General] mingkee:
So internet sharing and DHCP are disabled as well.
[G2 and Desire Z General] oldsk00lz:
I'll have to check out quick settings. I tried wifi tether for root with no luck. Saw some errors in the logcat for missing files, but think they are missing on my G1 too. I haven't dug too much into it yet.

-oldsk00lz
[G2 and Desire Z General] dynamikd:
Remember the wifi tether for root won't work until this device gets rooted. Try a hotspot app and see if the connected devices can surf the internet.
[Droid Eris Android Development] andmiller:
When trying to put phone back to stock for return, I get 'remote: not allowed' when trying to flash stock recovery image. Any ideas.
[Droid Eris Android Development] Delvaris:
how are you trying to do it with the latest RUU from HTC or some other method?

the fastboot remote not allowed message is because the security verification check on your bootloader is on (aka S-on) but this shouldn't matter with an official RUU.

Edit: If all else fails, do this: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=792026

Saw that directly after I posted. Will the official ruu make me completely stock. I used one click root.

Gang,

No sooner than I fixed my earlier issue, I deleted the TelephonyProvider.apk and Sprint_Promotion.apk and now I'm receiving THE APPLICATION DIALER (process com.android.phone) has stopped unexpectedly - PLEASE TRY AGAIN message. I have both .apk's on my SD card and my phone is in airplane mode. the error message keeps popping up. Ocasionally a MMS error message pops up as well. How do I remedy this? I know I need to get those two .apk's reinstalled but I don't know how.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paradox4286:
I'm running bionix 1.4, and it is by far the best rom out in my opinion. Its very snappy with either kernel. 100000000000000x better than stock and lag is virtually gone
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vinnydakid:
Another vote for Bionix. 1.4 is amazing and Sombionix is a god among men.

I don't always complain, but when I do, I #BlameWes
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
Try both. Results may vary.

I personally use Frankin-Twiz Update4.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheSneakerWhore:
Having flashed just about every rom available here, I lean Bionix 1.4 oc.uv.

It just feels better to me--all the roms are well put together, but it is all going to come down to what you like in your UI and what is on the phone.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
They are both great, but I have been using Bionix because I use most of the TW apps which of are taken out on F/T.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ytj87:
Both are solid. I've been using F-Twiz3 for a few weeks, and now F-Twiz4 for a day. F-Twiz3 was very solid, no problems.

Be aware that bionix 1.5 is having bluetooth problems. I and many others simply couldn't get BT to work, so I went with F-Twiz4.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tpreludesh:
I too am usually a loyal fan of bionix, but i need to have the bluetooth working so currently i am running franken-twiz 4. as soon as sombionix gets the bluetooth fixed though i will be going back over to his rom. of course i wouldn't have any objection to his jp3 froyo rom if it gets swype working better and the market gets fixed.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
Thanks guys. I tried both the ROMs out, and really liked them both. But the graphical changes that were made on both ROMs was the deal breaker, and I decided to change my kernel to get the speeds I wanted.

But... to save starting a new thread... I kind of want to replace my stock music player, because I really don't like it.

I searched through the forum, and didn't find much.

Do you guys have any suggestions?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gkillratio:
I like interfacelift.com
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mama Luigi:
That's nice but the problem is Android has that wallpaper scrolling feature so it needs a wide image, not a tall narrow (WVGA) one.

For a Samsung Epic you actually want a 960x800 image. Of course anything that is at least that large in both dimensions should work, you'll just have to crop it. So 1280x800 (a common size) is fine as long as you don't mind cropping off parts of the sides. 1024x1024 iPad wallpapers should also work great, and again that expands the range of wallpapers available to you.

You can search Google for 960x800 as well as 960x854 (Moto Droid resolution). I also like InterfaceLift for wallpapers, some really nice looking landscapes and stuff there. Available in a lot of sizes - just get anything that is at least 960x800. The smallest images available at InterfaceLift that are bigger than 960x800 are the 1024x1024 iPad ones.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
I've tried to keep my Vibrant as close to stock as possible because I don't want to lose the OTA update capability. I don't want to have to flash to stock via Odin before I update my phone because it is hardware locked. So far, I've only done minor mods (metamorph, removed bloat).

So if I install a custom kernel such as JAC's or KK's overclocked kernels, will I lose the ability to OTA update? Will the update simply overwrite the existing kernel on my phone?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geocepe:
Most likely the devs in this forum will have a working and better version of any OTA you will get. Also when you get the OTA you will loose root and most likely get the bloat back. In my opinion you are better off waiting for one of eugene or bionix roms anyway.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richan90:
To be more specific, my question is whether updating to any future ROM/OTA update will overwrite the existing kernel, or do I have to flash the stock kernel back before any of this?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Krnla:
You have to flash the stock kernal in order to be able to receive an OTA

Frankin-Twiz Final, awesome :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
can a stock kernal be flashed right over a custom kernal? (jac oc/uv)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rakeshchn:
I think so, unless you have any kind of lagfix installed. I say so because I have flashed ROMS like Bionix (which has its own kernel) over stock and vice versa. MAKE SURE NO LAGFIX IS INSTALLED!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kboater:
is there a link for a stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork recovery as a zip without ODIN?

Im assuming there is as I flashed the OC/UV Jac kernel though clockwork, so assuming that stock should be able to be flashed through clockwork.

Thanks

EDIT:

Can someone confirm that this is the stock kernel that can be flashed through clockwork? If I flash this (just stay rooted and with mobile AP) I should go back to be able to receive OTA updates, correct (I have not flashed any custom roms, just kernel)??

Scenario: I was playing... air hockey...and you know how that game can get intense?! Well I was jumping up and down and somebody was calling me but I was too into it to check it. Then it stopped and someone (Maybe same person) called again so I paused the game and checked my phone, it was just a black screen. The lights on the capacitive buttons were working, buttons were working (because the phone was vibrating) and the actual phone was still working but just couldn't see anything. I pulled the battery, turned it back on, put it in my pocket and started playing again. At the end of the game (Yeah, I lost) I checked and it was still black. The screen wasn't off, it was just black LED's I guess. I could scroll to unlock and everything, and now its just stuck like that. Stuck as in I can't see anything...

Not really asking for help because I think the phone messed up, but I'm just saying that the phone might not be perfectly built, or atleast mine wasn't...

I had a similar issue but when starting the phone, I would just get a black screen but with the capacitive buttons working but no widgets and no access to apps. Menu options works because I was able to access settings but that's about it. A guy from tmobile forum told me to do a factory reset as maybe it just a minor hiccup in the phone manufacturing so I did and ever since, I have not seen the black screen and I have done a few reboots just to check. Goodluck!
[G2 and Desire Z General] Maisum:
No I just can't see anything. It's like all the LED's are black, I can't factory reset it or anything. Unless someone can do it without looking at the screen....
