What we really need is "Tasker" to be Android-native like it is on the iPhone. And control over communication without Google breathing down our necks too much. The whole existence of this topic is because Google set it up for 2-way data gathering with both parties (you and the application) having an equal say in the matter. Both parties can bend this mechanism to their liking somewhat in practice.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Ummm... google didn't provide the api, that's it... There's no issue with tasker.

There's plenty of alternatives(2 as far as I looked) for this particular "task" but the switch is what's missing.

Maybe we'll get the api in a later version and various coding tricks won't be required anymore.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
The point with Tasker (and alternatives) is that you get about 80% of what you want/ need (in

Eclair) which might be enough for what you want or totally inadequate. It cannot truly detect (let alone intercept) an application start or exit, but will in general always lag behind the facts. In Froyo this becomes especially clear as there are even less hookups for work-arounds causing pathetic behavior at times.

What good is it to have a 3G/2G switch if you cannot let it start before your browser, unless using a script + custom icon. How do you detect if you left the browser if Tasker (for instance) treats any change of application (even switching) as leaving the previous one? In Froyo this currently means that it actually waits till you start a new application before it "sees" the exit of the previous one, which you left a minute ago. You really want native control over these things as well.

But enough of this. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Bec07:
Uh, how so? I used it for quite a while and I haven't seen any lags or issues in task execution.

You can't really ask it to predict your thoughts now can you :p
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ettepetje:
If a "Tasker" like tool operates from within the Kernel your startup and exit task are done right before and after the application or event. All three (both tasks and application) started in the right order by that same Kernel.

Not by polling a vaguely related system status (current application?) from outside, or abusing some other system feature (link or table) to get as close to 100% as cpu overhead and (limited) system calls allow.

In many cases you won't notice this difference too much because things happen much faster than we could have done them, and the precise order in which they are done is not all that important.

Switching 3G "on" for instance is something you want to have done right before the application, which currently appears to be possible only if the browser contains such a feature, it is hacked into the Kernel in some way or you start the browser using a script + custom icon.

Anyway, hope the feature you requested (+ many other mods) get us an even better sgs! ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Chainfire:
Well, it's not for Tasker (tough luck) but it does do the job...

You don't need to poll to detect application start.

For some reason, titanium backup fails to delete any of the ATT bloatware after I flashed the 2.2 update. If I tried to uninstall any of the att apps, titanium backup would error out saying that it can't find the apk file. I started deleting them manually from /system/app, but I can't find the apk for AT&T HotSpots and AT&T Family Maps. Anyone have any idea where those last two pieces of annoyance are hiding? Or any idea why Ti Backup would fail to delete any of the bloatware after 2.2 flash/root?
[Captivate General] h8rift:
You can delete via adb or you can download Root Explorer and nuke these files to get rid of those two:

The AT&T Family Maps application is:

androidlauncher2.1-61x612010_06_11t15_49.apk

and the AT&T Hotspots applications is:

WISPr_v41.apk

Hope this helps!
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Those cryptic filenames was what I was looking for. Thanks!
[Captivate General] TechNut*:
Sorry if I missed something in your post - but I am having the same issue. Can't seem to delete any of the Bloatware. :(

I got Root Explorer but am not sure where they are hiding these apps. Can you post the path where I can manually delete ATT apps? Pretty please? TIA

Nevermind found it..DUH... :D Discard
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
For what it's worth, I emailed Joel Bourquard on October 2, he's the dev of TiB, and he asked me to send him all the new information regarding our 2.2 leak and TiB not being able to uninstall the AT&T bloatware. I believe he is currently working on an update specifically for us Captivate users.
[Captivate General] crusecontrl:
There is an update out now on the market.
[Captivate General] dmnall:
I got the update last night and got rid of the rest of the bloatware I could not remove before because I did not know what the file names were

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lewyharvey:
This is a post I found after searching for my issue regarding headphones volume problems. I couldn't find anything anywhere on the XDA Forums. Please see my response at the bottom, and any help would be gratefully appreciated.

Ok so I went ahead and upgraded my mobile with the OTA update that has showing on my mobile. I wanted to upgrade ASAP due to the fact that I have run out of space for apps on the internal memory and this upgrade will resolve it (apps can be moved to the SD card).

However I think I may have jumped the gun as now whenever I use headphones the volume is stuck at max and even when the phone software says the volume is silent it’s still blasting out! Unfortunately spotify doesn’t have an internal volume control at all so it’s a no go there too.

I’ve had a search on Google and it looks like people are not experiencing the exact same issue, however there are a lot with issues with the volume in some way or another.

Hopefully this will be fixed pretty quickly as it now makes the phone unusable as a media player and I have to go back to using my iPod.

UPDATE: After searching for a resolution to this and not coming across anything much I managed to find someone saying recessed headphone jacks are quite problematic. The Desire doesn’t actually have a recessed jack but I do use a silicon case that makes the jack a bit recessed. This has not been a problem before, but I thought I’d give it a go without the case. Low and behold the volume buttons seemed to be working fine. I thought this was a bit strange so out the case back on and what’s even stranger is that is still worked fine. Now I have no idea why this happened and to me it seems a bit strange that this would even cause it in the first place (I would assume that it would be lower in volume or only one channel). Unless of course I came across a bug that has a 1 in 1,000,000 chance of hitting. Anyway I’m glad it’s working now!!

My reply:

Hi, I'm having the exact same problem after doing the froyo update. I too searched everywhere but found nothing until now. Unfortunately removing my case doesn't resolve the issue. I thought it may have been ROM related issue, but after trying several different ones the problem still exists. The strange thing is this has only started happening over the last week but I've had froyo for 4 weeks now! Can anyone out there help me ???
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] th3:
I had the exact same issue on the OpenDesire ROM after I flashed a file. The headphone volume was deafening every time it was on with no way to turn it down. But my issue clearly started when I flashed the DSP Manager file floating around. When I switched back to a clean ROM, the issue was no longer there.

I also experienced the issue when I moved between ROMs and updates of ROMs without full wipes. Even when I moved from stock T-Mobile to stock HTC, I experienced the issue. The resolve was simply doing a full wipe.

On HTC 2.2 I don't have this issue at all, thankfully.

Now you come to mention it I did the DSM Flash Zip about a week ago after flashing LeeDrOiD V2.1a, so it looks like thats the cause. Is there a quick way around this ? i.e. uninstalling the DSM flash or will I have to Full Wipe? Many thanks BTW ;)

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shure2:
Recenly moved from a TP2 to the HD2 and am experiencing some antenna (signal) issues that I hadn't with the TP2

I know there are threads about a 'killing grip', but I haven't yet found a solution or at least a partial help.

Holding in RIGHT HAND:

Signal drops by at least 2, usually 3 bars (GPRS)

Holding in LEFT HAND:

Signal drops by 1-2 bars, but not usually lower (GPRS)

I have tried changing grips but unless I hold he phone above the antenna nothing changes, and with this grip its difficult to operate one handed

Wifi is uneffected and I haven't been in a HSDPA area to test that, but I pressume it will be effected similarly.

Has anyone found that using certain cases or full body skins help the situation? or is it simply that our hands are blocking the signal and therefore no case/skin will help?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anhyeuemmaimai:
not aware of any signal issues but I do have my phone in a silicon case that it came with. I'd recommend using a silicon case just for the fact that if you place your phone face down, it keeps the screen up off of the surface thus saving it from getting scratched up.

Ok, First, I AM A NOOB AT ALL OF THIS and I have used the search for this. All I can find is HTC responses. I am trying to find out whatever widget/app has the flip clock time & weather WITH the windshield wiper. Is this available on my Captivate? My captivate is rooted with the "one-click root." If someone can help me i would greatly appreciate it.

Beautiful widget or simple widget are the closes thing. The htc clock with wiper is a sense only clock.

[Captivate General] Konner920:
This is the last time any of you will see me post in the Captivate forum. I've now gone through 2 captivates due to bricks by Odin not working (gets stuck on DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET!!) and never getting past that thus having a bricked phone. And getting phones that have broken key combos. I'm going back to the Aria. I'll just buy a extended battery since those batteries are so bad.

No Android phone will compare to the speed of the Captivate. But at least I will never have to deal with Odin again.

Thanks to all the constant support and updates for the Captivate here at XDA. I really appreciate it. I love the support and updates that the Captivate got. But I can't stand how easy it is to brick for it to be "impossible" to brick.
[Captivate General] mrbloog:
Your acting like you had to mess with Odin, no one made you and the phone was usuable without it.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
You do realize it was your fault right. And the 3 button combo has gotten fixed. Maybe reading more would have helped out some.
[Captivate General] Neckrobeard:
User error ruined your phone.
[Captivate General] h8rift:
Happy Trails..
[Captivate General] quarlow:
Wow ... I thought captivate was unbrickable. I've used Odin tons of times with no issues, most recently last night to installed froyo.

Aria isn't too bad, had one for a month. At least you still have support for the Aria.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I have to agree with the other posts here. Odin didn't brick your phone, you did.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
How do you know it was fully bricked? - I've gotten stuck at DO NOT TURN OFF TARGET; I did these steps to fix it.

Try this, move quickly:

1.) Open ODIN One-Click on the computer.

2.) Take out the SIM and SD card.

3.) Put in the battery, quickly holding VOL UP and VOL DOWN and inserting the USB.

It should go into download mode.
[Captivate General] JimmyStale:
dude....really?
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I am the least knowledgeable and phone savvy person here IMO. I owned a Nokia N97 for the last year and a half and an N95 for two years bfore that (I recently trashed)

I was able to with two phones root them the first day, delete ATT SW Download the JH7 Update using Kies Mini, UNroot both and update one to 2.2 with ODIN3 with aero issues.

My wife is still deciding on the N97 vs the Captivate. In the mean time I will be using it as a guinea Pig for messing around with. Going to Master clear it and install Froyo today.

I think many times it is user error and the support here is amazing, patient and extremely well implemented.

I think the OP should step back and revisit all the steps.....This is a great device despite the "GPS failings" which are differing in degree based on individual expectations more than actual reality from what I read.

Small issues tend to become large ones and pileons occur quickly across the net. I would bet the GPS issue is not as bad as many phones , better than some worse thano others. I know it is far better than the GPS on the N97 as is the browser...on and on.
[Captivate General] quarlow:
That works for me everytime. No 3 button combo. Turn off, take out battery, start Odin, insert battery, hold only volume up and volume down, plug in usb. Goes straight to download mode. No counting black screens, no timing button release.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I "bricked" my phone. It would only boot to a black screen. Just holding down the volume keys, then adding the power key got me into download mode. Odin fixed everything. I actually fixed it so quickly that never got to the, "crap! I just bricked my phone. I hope I can fix this," stage. It was fixed before I even realized it was at the point that a lot of people around here call bricked. I was more just annoyed that now I had to re-odin before flashing.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
Just today odin locked up on me and I had to remove the usb; I was getting the phone to pda disconnect screen when trying to do anything. So I quickly did the VOL UP and VOL DOWN while inserting the USB and thankfully all turned out well and I'm back on FROYO JI6 for now.
[Captivate General] Konner920:
Well I have two of these things and they are both at the same thing. Phone+computer, None of the key combos will put them in Download mode. I've done every single possible method found to do it and none of them will work. It's not user error. I didn't brick it. I'm not the only person that had Odin freeze and NOT continue. I've had the worst luck with these phones.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
It is your fault though, because if you try to change kernels and use odin it is up to you. If the phone has the 3 button combo issue that is one thing, but you still need to know that anything you do to your phone is on you. It is not Samsung or ATT's fault for you trying to change kernel's. But there is no talking sense to someone that doesn't understand that fact. Sorry you had bad issues with this phone.
[Captivate General] terrigan:
I have yet to brick my Captivate. The rule of thumb is, if you can get it into Download mode.. it's recoverable. If you decide to get rid of your Captivate, that's your business but the phone is a solid one. I had issues flashing Froyo and thought i bricked but it took a few tries with Odin and i got it working. If you want to use custom firmware, you have to put effort into reading up on things.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
This is the funniest thing i have read in a long time. Especially since JH7 fixed the key combo issue.

I had never thought of that angle "I bricked my phone, so i better switch brands". Especially when 99% of us are uing Odin with ZERO issues. The only anology that comes to mind is "Every time I adjust the carb screws i more ford it won't start, so I am switching to Chevy"

Good luck OP!

[Captivate General] tazman171:
Really? If that's the case then odin didn't brick you're phone, you need to be in download mode to use odin. Lol, :D
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Never had issues flashing my phone yet... But I understand the users frustrations.

I am sticking with this phone because the support on XDA had been awesome and turned a bug riddled phone into a usable one.
[Captivate General] Konner920:
Thanks for telling me that captain obvious. I can't GET into download mode because my PHONE doesn't have working key combos.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
You have to go out of your way to brick it. Do something really boneheaded.

The OP probably is jealous and has an iPhone. One of those numskulls who ran back to Apple at the first sign of a problem.
[Captivate General] tazman171:
And Listen Up! Grunt McDoofis III! Is this your way of explaining yourself? Look at you first "Goodbye cry for me" post, you said and I quote;

,

so Hmmn, you bricked it with odin with the "Do not turn off target" message on the screen of the phone but you can't get to download mode??? :confused:

Do I have your words correct?

Is that not what you said? :confused:

Do you know what download mode is? :rolleyes:

So Grunt McDoofis III I suggest you either figure out what you were actually doing or get the pathetic, whiny story straight. Don't jump my s**t because your story is back ass wards. I thought your were leaving anyway Grunt McDoofis III? :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] erezak:
