You found the thread you need to read. Go through it, even if it does take you about an hour to do. You need to read that way you know where information is on how to fix your phone if anything goes wrong. Everything you do on your phone is at your own risk.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Colton5419:
Basically just flash using the one click ODIN for the JI6 build.

One important note is to remove the USB as soon as it reboots because otherwise you can face issues with it becoming stuck in airplane mode. I don't know why exactly but it happened to me and to others.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
If you haven't flashed using Odin yet, search for the Odin3 thread. That will give you the steps to use the one click Odin.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rayoubi:
Well, I only link the download and flash for it. The link provides no explanation on how to flash or install froyo.

I don't see where the reading is. Only the download mirrors.

Thanks for the advise doing that now. :)
[Desire General] dgrouch:
Ok, i've heard about the battery performance of desire. I'm planning to get one anyway, but I wonder how many hrs of movies/music can I enjoy before the battery runs out.
[Desire General] dgrouch:
Up (until I get some answers).

Nobody watches movies on desire? C'mon!
[Desire General] Max BrainBox:
RockPlayer is not doing very well

On my 3 previous WinMo HTCs, I could watch several movies before the battery was depleted.

I've installed RockPlayer and after 90' of watching the same type of movie files, I lost 60% of a fully charged battery and that is way too much.

I'm going to look around for another player and see how well it does.
[Desire General] dgrouch:
After 130 views, at least somebody replied. Thanks man, I really appreciate it. Is that coming from a 100% charge? It seems galaxy s is the way to go for heavy multimedia.. it's the desire however that I want in my pocket.
[Desire General] foxmeister:
DivX using Rockplayer is definitely not as battery efficient as H264 - I can get 4/5 hours out of H264 encoded video, with some battery to spare.

Regards,

Dave
[Desire General] ArtieQ:
Depends really, with the radio turned off I get maybe 4-5 hours maximum.
[Desire General] ZigmaDK:
I watched a XviD movie on my Desire 90 minutes and was at 71% when the movei was over.
[Desire General] well0549:
Well I have encoded some Tom and Jerry movies and a lot of the pixar stuff, but I encoded it to low mp3 quality.. But the quality is still very good. My son can watch two full dvd movies and I an still on eighty percent..... I use act to watch them. The low quality is extremely battery friendly.....
[Desire General] !PANDA:
3G off, Screen Brightness maximum.. 4 hours and used up only 20%! I dont really know but I seem to be getting very good battery life compared to others! I love my Desire!
[Desire General] elburna:
4h of movies and still on 80%...? Hard to imagine how that could be possible... never saw a phone that would make up to 20h of movie playback...
[Desire General] dgrouch:
Woah. Well, he himself wonders why. So, on the average everyone can seem to watch at least 2 movies. Not bad.
[Desire General] Max BrainBox:
Please include your player with your posts

Those that claim > 4 hours of playback, what player do you use?

I use RockPlayer, which I find inferior to the TCPMP player I used on my WinMo phones.
[Desire General] well0549:
I use ACT for playback and recoded files. The files are recoded on purpose in a low quality (but still very watchable) and during playback I had only 15 to 20 % processor activity. Wich is very low. That's how I get the good numbers.

I suspect that when i play a full 750 MB MP4 my proc would eat a lot more power giving me less playback time. But since they average from 180 to 230 MB in size only, the proc does a lot less processing and thus uses up less juice.......
[Desire General] !PANDA:
Well I only have 250-350 mb movies as I convert them to mkv or rmvb cos they take up less space :) too much music :/
[Desire General] chiekurz:
Travel a lot. So watching movies on my Desire is very more or less mandatory.

I am able to run 6-7 hours, but battery after is 10%, just enough to make some calls and be on standby before charging.

And that is now after battery calibration and applying POWERSAVING MODPACK. Maybe placebo, but before I was able to handle max 3.5-4h hours and actually had to buy a spare battery to cope with my travel requirements.

I am using RockPlayer, auto brightness. Playing video without any conversion, just download from torrents unzip and play on phone and only SD videos, no HD (I do believe RockPlayer is not able to handle it).
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whopper:
This week I stalled an app which totally ****ed up my HD2. I don't remember the name of the app, but installing it resulted in the following:

-Whenever I press the home hardbutton my navipanel starts up and it is very hard to turn it off.

-Whenever I open an sms or email the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.

-Whenever I open opera browser the screen automatically tilts to the landscape mode and doesn't tilt back.

-Start softbutton not working.

This is all quite annoying so I did a reset to factory settings. However this didn't solve the problem, so I am assuming that dreadfull app I installed did an override on the factory settings.

So the next thing I tried was installing the latest rom from the htc website, which should have been an easy thing. However it failed midway. Now the issue is that my computer doesn't not recognize my HD2 anymore when I connect it with the cable.

So the question is? What do I do now? I was hoping anyone could help me with this problem. Before when I was a student I had plenty of time to search the net/forums for a solution, but now I am working full time and I already spend most of my weekend trying to solve this issue. So please anyone help me out :D
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
i have to leave for work in 5 minutes so i won't be able to follow this up...but..

when you say factory reset, did everything else go back to what it was as you bought it?

1- can you get to bootloader (when booting up phone hold the "down volume"-- i think it is down, may be up. try it.)

2- if so you are good.

3- in bootloader flash hspl

4- flash new rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whopper:
I performed the factory reset multiple times and by 2 methods.

-setting->return to factory settings

-turning off the device-> press down the volume up/down buttons and press cancel call button

All settings were turned back to the original settings however the 2 problems (1: tilting screens and 2: unable to detect device on computer) did not disappear.

I tried to do what jsmccabe78 said, but my device just booted up like normal. No bootloader screen or anything.

I have anyone else has an idea.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kurt-willems:
Make a backup of your contact list.

And make a Hard reset!

In difficult situations, you can maybe use/do a "Task 29"
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whopper:
using the second option I described is a hard reset
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rihui:
try reflashing a stock ROM.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jsmccabe78:
now what do you see when you boot your phone? have you tried deleting the settings for your phone on your computer for wmdc/activsync? 0have you tried uninstalling wmdc and reinstalling? try those first.

now, if your computer still does not recognize your phone your next option is to load another rom - whether it is a newer official rom or a customized one (your choice.) if you cannot connect your phone you will need to do this with bootloader.

if you can boot your phone, you can get into bootloader.

to get to bootloader:

turn phone off.

hold "volume down" button key.

turn phone on.

this will get you to bootloader. if this doesn't work, i am out of ideas. you need a new rom and you can flash from an storage card, but you need to have hspl first.

let me know.

now you can 1- flash hspl and 2- flash new rom
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] whopper:
Sorry for the late response jsmccabe78. Thank you for your response. I got my phone into bootloader mode which enabled me to make a link to my computer. I ran the stock rom that I downloaded from the htc website and it installed succesfully.

Unfortunately this did not solve the problems I described in the OP.

Also my computer still doesn't not recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader mode. Reinstalling WMDC did not solve this issue.

I am still thinking these issues are software related and not hardware related. But reinstalling the stockrom should have fixed the issues if it was software related shoud it not?

So 2 questions remain;

1) How do I fix the issues in the OP

2) How do I get my computer to recognize my HD2 outside of bootloader

I hope anyone can help me solve this mystery.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fuuunkdat:
Try it with no sd card in and see if you still have the problems? If you do :Take out your sd card and put it into your pc with card adaptor. Then delete the application data folder on your sd card. If that doesn't work make a back up of whatever stuff is on your sd card and then re-format it, then and copy back your apps and stuff. If you had a rough idea of what it was you installed try and leave that out when you copy your files back to sd. If you didnt have much on your sd card i would suggest to just wipe it totally and start again. Hopefully this should sort it, if not im out of ideas. Hope this helps if not soz but thought id try :)

Hey guys, this is my first post and I'm a bit of a newbie so bare win me.

[Captivate General] jasonxh:
Kies mini is constantly crashing on me, both on my laptop (win7 x86) and desktop (win7 amd64). I've seen people giving random suggestions on things like trying different USB ports, formating internal SD, etc. None of them worked for me. So I took out windbg...

Turns out Samsung is making a stupid mistake in their AMiniFusCtrl.dll, when calling HttpOpenRequest. The lplpszAcceptTypes they pass in is not NULL terminated! So a random data past the end of the array could trigger an AV, that is, a crash. In fact I'm really surprised that majority of people have no issues. :confused:

Anyway, I took the work to patch AMiniFusCtrl.dll to load my hand-crafted ApiHook.dll, which hijacks the call to HttpOpenRequest to provide a safeguard there. Ok I'm not gonna dig into how it works here... The result is I finally upgraded my phone through an official means! (well, sort of :cool: )

And here I'm attaching the patch. You need to extract and put the two files AMiniFusCtrl.dll, ApiHook.dll in your Kies mini install folder, which by default is "C:\Program Files\Samsung\KiesMini" or "C:\Program Files (X86)\Samsung\KiesMini" on 64bit Windows. Remember to backup your original AMiniFusCtrl.dll.

P.S. I kinda suspect the "unregistered device" error is also due to the same bug, since during my test, it gave the same error when my hijacked HttpOpenRequest fails.
[Captivate General] TDQuiksilver:
You are the man. This finally allowed me to update my Captivate to JF7. Could never get past 50% with the OTA and Mini always crashed on Win7 64-bit.

This did the trick. Thanks! :D
[Captivate General] Dammit2Hell:
I'm have a Vibrant. Before Kies mini was giving me the error "minilauncher application has stopped working". I tried these files and now I get Unregistered Device. Ideas?
[Captivate General] othermark:
Good work, hope the Samsung developers that troll these forums take notice. I use to try to debug stuff that would crash on NT but not on 95/98 way back when in a similar manner and report it to mostly deaf software companies -- luckily all that knowledge is long gone having been at a unix shop for so long.
[Captivate General] BigBMH:
I tried installing the Kies Mini App. on two different computers (one Vista 32bit and one Win7 64bit). Both computers gave me the same crash/error with Kies Mini as soon as I plugged my phone in. I tried the patches above, and they had absolutely no effect on either computer. I'm on Samsung Vibrant from Tmo, and using the Tmo specific version of Kies but I don't see why this would matter for the patches.

Any Suggestions????

This worked for me! My problem started when my attempts at OTA failed leaving me with a pseudo JH7 update (baseband was showing JH7 but no signs I actually got any part of the update).

Having tired of trying OTA, I downloaded Kies Mini and got the "unregistered device" error.

I then ran across this today and it worked perfectly. I have a full-on JH7 - no problems. THANK YOU! :D

Kies Mini would crash as soon as I connected my T-mo Vibrant (before acknowledging the connection), giving me the "MiniApplication Launcher has stopped working" error. Now with this patch, it acknowledges the connection, but crashes while trying to determine the firmware. Anyone have any ideas? I'm running Win7 64bit.

Edit: I ended up trying Kies v1.5.3.10093_82 as posted on the Samsung Galaxy S Series page on xda. It works like a charm! Wish I could post a link, but I'm under n00b restrictions.

Still not working

I followed the steps listed but kies still crashes on me once I connect my phone. I'm going to have to contact AT&T I guess. Also I'm not able to run kies mini with usb debugging enabled, and for some reason my kies keeps switching to Korean.

Update: Was able to get mini kies to stop crashing thanks to your fix but it now states "Failed to Connect Model Information Server". Also not sure why mini kies defaults to Korean on me but discovered that only happens when it's not run as an administrator.
[Captivate General] ua549:
I still get the same MiniKies crash when I connect the USB cable.

MiniApplication Launcher has stopped working

A problem caused the program to stop working correctly.

Windows will close the program and notify you if a solution is available.​

This is a freshly installed MiniKies running on Windows 7 x64. I tried it "as installed" and with the patch with the same results. The phone is visible/accessable in Windows Explorer. The USB port is in Kies mode.

re: UNREGISTERED DEVICE

download sgs toolbox

then use it to

1. check imei

2. check product code (will need to be rooted for this device)

If you have a generic imei or incorrect product code this may be the cause of your unregistered device error in kies

product code should be

I did update win 7 yesterday to SP1 and it discovered my OS is not genuine, ran the usual remove WAP. I don't think this is causing the issue tho.

I also noticed after uninstalling and re-installing kies it updated to ver: 1.0.0.11014_6

Did they realize there was an issue and updated the software on the fly?

Thanks again

[Captivate General] jbradt:
The fix worked for me previously but when Kies updated today, it stopped working. Now it goes back to crashing every time.
[Captivate General] jbradt:
I was looking into this a little more. I went to another thread about the official 2.2 release and searched for kies mini crashing. It turns out that IE9 has been causing the crash for many people. I uninstalled as suggested and all is well again.

If you have an instance of IE9 installed, I would uninstall, reboot, and try again.

Thx man, I had the device unrecognized problem with kies mini and it wouldnt let me uprade.

[Captivate General] Pierce533:
If you uninstall IE9 make sure you have a previous version of IE installed, since the Windows Update service makes use of IE in order to update machines. You don't want to miss security patches and bug fixes, otherwise you will have more problems than just a Kies mini one.

Kies Crashes when connected to phone

I had this problem. I downloaded Kies from several sources and it crashed every time I connected the phone. I read on a Samsung site that Kies has problems with Internet Explorer version 9. The problem is that IE is integrated into Windows 7 and you can't delete it as recommended by Samsung. Pulled out my old Window XP and downloaded Kies and everything went perfectly. Took about 45 minutes to complete the upgrade. I'm not techie enough to replace the dll files in the Kies program. Hope this helps someone who is searching.
