Are you guys letting the phone sit for about 10 minutes on the Wipe Userdata screen? It can take that long to fix itself. it will reboot when its done. Make sure to plug it into a power source or you could really mess it up.

If that's doesn't work, its ADB time. but I have never seen the Wipe Userdata not work unless you fried the bootloader somehow AND the recovery.

Not long ago,I've bought a new SAMSUNG android phone called i5800(i5801)

I searched the whole forum but only to find there's a little threads were about it.Maybe it's a new one,but I think if we open up a new forum,just like i5700,we can get more people know it!Why don't we do it?

P.S I'm a chinese junior student,maybe my wirtten english is very poor,but i really wants you to think about my idea. Thanks => Xie Xie

Hey guys,

You probably know me from my ROM, and i'm leaving the tattoo dev community...

It takes of way too much of my time, and have lost my love for the tattoo.

I have recently begun in the 8 grade, and we get lots of homework..

So i'm signing off now!!

As a last dev act I'll help hcdr.jacob with his Froyo ROM with Sense UI..

Cya guys!!

Shouldn't long pressing the menu button launch the keyboard by itself rather than keyboard driven search? I'm not 100% sure buti think I've seen other android phones do it that way.

Anyway it would be useful to have the arrow keys available on arbitrary screens, which isn't currently possible as far as I can tell so I'd love to see this modded in.

Yea I had a thread about this a while ago. It is very annoying, since on my n1 it launched the keyboard itself, but apparently it doesn't here.

Verizon now has a trade in program and I put in some of my old Phones(Palm 700p and Samsung i760) only to find out they were worthless. However when I put in my Eris it came up with a surprising $132. Being that I only paid $50 in the first place for it, I'm shocked. Thought I would share this with the community. Oh yeah, if you want to do it, here is the site https://www.trade-in.vzw.com/AppraisalPage.aspx
[Droid Eris General] tmason68:
You paid more than $50. It's subsidized by your contract.

Are they going to send you a check or do you get a discount off from something else? I am assuming you have to buy something else at full price.
[Droid Eris General] thatguy0109:
$132 for Eris!!!

I did the same thing this morning (I already had upgraded to a Droid X). $132 is not a bad price for that device. I also have a Moto Droid 1 and I put that in, and it only came up as $50????? As far as how they pay you, they pay you in Verizon Gift Cards. With those, I turn around and pay my bill thus freeing up money I didn't have before!
[Droid Eris General] tmason68:
Oh thats cool.

I did the wizard for the Eris and at first got only $46...but then I realized I clicked YES YES YES too fast. The third one should be NO if you want to see what top dollar is.
[Droid Eris General] timmywa:
So how would this work? We'd get the rebate but still have a bit of time on our contracts, but have no phone. We'd have to then either buy new phones at full retail or re-up our contracts. Am I right?
[Droid Eris General] tmason68:
Yes you would need to have some other phone that I were using. You could do the renewal then trade in the old phone later and apply it to your bill.
[Droid Eris General] ericlmccormick:
If you are on a family plan you might be able to steal the discount from another line and get an incredible for 149. That might be what I do because I have 3 lines out of contract and the people on those lines don't want a new phone. I'm just wondering if I should wait till 4g phones come out.
[Droid Eris General] dogswind:
I signed up a few minutes ago! Already switched to the Droid X a while back. Just wondering.. Are we supposed to include the charger? The microSD card? It never mentions anything but the phone itself. I don't need either of these things, but don't want to look stupid if I shouldn't include them lol..

EDIT: I missed the FAQ link at the bottom of their site. So to answer my own question, do not include any accessories with the device. =]
[Droid Eris General] es0tericcha0s:
I sold mine on Craigslist for $150 and turned around and bought a Droid for $175. If you live in certain areas, there are a lot of cell phone places that want to buy Eri and the like to flash to MetroPCS or Cricket and charge another $100 for them. Just something else to think about.
[Droid Eris General] Irieone:
I cannot believe Big Red will give you more for an Eris than for a Droid 2 or Droid X. Anyone care to speculate?

Eris is like a fine wine or what?

So I just "lost" my phone, I say lost because it was lost for 3 days and, being that its my only line of communication, I had to buy another one using insurance. Can I turn the old one in for this deal? Or does VZW void your IMEI when you lose a phone?

Never mind, that's part of the agreement. Crap, I was hoping to get an easy $132 (well really $42 since I had to pay $90 to asurion).

[Captivate General] snapplefish:
Would the community rather have 2.2 by tomorrow, with no indication or promise of future updates, or 3.0 almost as soon as it comes out? I'm curious to see the community opinion.
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
Good question. I know a lot more about 2.2 right now, and the JIT compiler, developer push notifications and Flash in the browser are pretty good things.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I really don't think we're getting 3.0
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Without knowing how it runs on our phone or using it, who would sign up for it? This is a loaded question - wait for some reviews then ask the question.

And when you say "when 3.0 is released" - I assume you mean Mid October even though it is not possible for a port to hit our phone for months?

The only logical answer is to say 2.2 now - 3.0 is an unknown - when will it be available and how will it run on our hardware? What features does it add? etc.

And in the end, everyone would say give me 2.2 now and still complain later when they can't update to 3.0.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
That is correct. Samsung has only committed to one major update and that is FroYo.

Everyone knows how much Samsung hates giving software updates so you can bet the house that Gingerbread is not coming to Galaxy S. They'll be on to their next big thing by then. They refuse to waste software engineers on putting out updates once they already have your money.
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
If that was honestly the case I'd never buy another Samsung product again. I'm locked into this phone for at least two years, it should last at least 4. This thing had better get 3.0 at least. I'll give them the benefit of the doubt for now, I haven't had too many samsung experiences in general.
[Captivate General] jdsemler:
From the little I've read, it sounds like 3.0 is more intended for larger devices.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Samsung is notorious for not giving software updates. Once they have your money they dont care about you.

Ask anybody else who's had a samsung smartphone. Especially anyone with a Samsung Beam, they just announced yesterday 2.1 is as far as its going and its a pretty new phone. Samsung Moment did get one update from 1.6 to 2.1 but thats as far as its going and that phone is still pretty new, its was only released less than a year ago. Other samsung phones never even got a single update they're still on 1.5/1.6.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I would have to agree. Not only would I never buy another Samsung product but I'd tell anyone that would listen not to buy one either.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Thats not true. The next version is certainly designed for phones. Google was bragging about Gingerbread at their last conference.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The carrier is just as responsible for software updates as the manufacturer. If the carrier has no interest, then Samsung won't build it.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I agree that they should be legally required to give you updates for however long your contract is. But they dont. Samsung has already stated they are going to give us one major update, and that is from 2.1 to 2.2. They'll give maintenance updates but thats it.
[Captivate General] Colton5419:
I think we will receive 3.0 - the only logical reason we wouldn't would be if another wave of Galaxy S phones came in that were twice as powerful.

Currently we are boasting a 1GHz processor, 512mb of RAM and a 4" AMOLED screen. Top of the line as smartphones are concerned. Now If a 2GHz, 1GB Ram phone came out then I could see us possibly not getting 3.0.... but I personally think it's the reason why Samsung has been so quiet about our 2.2 questions.

The Original Motorola Droid was on 2.2 before the Droid X! - sometimes pre-existence is better ;D
[Captivate General] tanneji:
We have the exact recommended specs for gingerbread. Google released them a few weeks ago. I don't see a point release (2.1 - 2.2) as being a major update. Granted, its a nice bump in terms of upgrades and additions but is not what I would consider major.
[Captivate General] gflare:
I would like to see 2.2 as soon as possible, and then maybe 3.0 if Samsung bothers to get it done (which I would only give a 50% chance of occuring).

It's important to get 2.2 onto these phones so the developers can use it as the base for their modifications and ROMs. I think the chances of getting 2.2 in late october or mid november are pretty good, but I wouldn't expect 3.0 to land until next year (if it happens).

I'm really looking forward to 2.2, but I want the newest version of Swype even more urgently. I can't believe I have this device that says "look at me I have swype," but doesn't even have any way of getting the newest version with the text input button. Heck, I would even pay a few bucks to get the latest version, but there's simply no way at all to get it.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
Is seriously doubt we'll get 3.0. I would be happy with a GPS fix and 2.2.
[Captivate General] Ejh28:
This. Just make this phone actually work and I'll be happy.
[Captivate General] Sirfearoth:
I would be happy as hell with ASOP 2.2, anything that has no touch wiz.
[Captivate General] elgo:
I would imagine, though, that with Cyanogenmod having brought Froyo 2.2 to the T-Mobile G1, we will get a version of 3.0 on our Captivates even if it is not from Samsung.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I guess maybe I'm just a pessimist, but what would make you think that cyanogen would bring 3.0 to the Captivate? They havent even brought 2.2 to it yet?
[Captivate General] tiger4j:
2.2 was and is a great performance build, that was the intention. Gingerbread on the other hand, is supposed to focus more on the ui and experience, atleast from what I have gathered. So 3.0 will be a totally different user experience. This update is supposed to try to solve the fragmentation issue. The idea is to build a great aosp interface so that all phones are like the nexus and get updates out the door. I like it because major delays could be attributed to the service providers and no one else. But no, even if Samsung was willing I dont think at&t will let another build out of the door. Just rumor, but I heard it would be dec. before they released froyo. Sad thing is I mostly believe it.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Google hasn't publicly acknowledged Gingerbread yet. Right now its all rumours and those rumours were started in June. A lot can (and has probably changed since then). Hopefully we'll know something official sometime soon.
[Captivate General] elgo:
The fact that they have been able to bring 2.2 to the first ever Android device (G1) as well as the MyTouch 3G, et cetera is a good tip-off. The Galaxy S line is still relatively new, which is why there is no 2.2 Cyanogenmod for it yet. The fact that millions of Galaxy S phones have been sold practically guarantees future non-Samsung firmwares for them.

I would bet dollars to donuts that we will have a build of 3.0 for our Captivates at some point, whether it's Cyanogenmod or some other group who does it. I am somewhat of a pessimist as well, but moreso when it comes to Samsung themselves. I wouldn't trust them to even necessarily give us 2.2. They are a very foolish company and they are squandering the goodwill they've engendered, as well as the hard work that went into the Galaxy S line, launching all the variants on all the different carriers.

So I suppose what I'm saying is that our best hope is people here at XDA Developers and the like. Samsung is not going to allow their developers to keep our phones up to date since, as someone above pointed out, they already have our money. It's a pity, but at least we have this great hardware, which is the appropriate spec for Gingerbread!

Which leads me to the last reason Cyanogenmod and others will come out with 3.0 for the Galaxy S line - they are not going to be able to do so with all the phones they've been working on! Even the Nexus one doesn't match up to Gingerbread's requirements - it falls short in resolution and screen size.
[Captivate General] absolutechaos92:
Honestly I wouldn't care if the phone got updates or not as long as I could run all apps but that's not the case and Im pissed that Im missing out on the updated gmail app. I love gmail.
[Captivate General] bettingpython:
Pay attention to the CM forums, they don't own a captivate so they aren't even bothering to mess with it. I am sure if someone gave them a free working samsung captivate they migth have some interest. I have little hope of CM actually dropping a rom for us. My hope is that when it does drop via OEM release that designgears will fix the issues with the neutering that at&t will have done to the kernel for the tethering drivers.

I am locked into the captivate for 2 years now and overall am happy with the device, only reason I am even running cognition is because the JH7 update from at&t neutered usb tethering, a feature I use once or twice a year when I am on vacation and work needs me to do something urgently.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
If samsung doesn't develop any 3.0 roms, then we probably won't grey any cooked versions either. Samsung doesn't release driver source code do all cooked roms have to be based on official versions.
[Captivate General] tbong777:
I agree with this. However I would not want want a 2GHZ processor. The device is fast enough and I am already using Juice Defender and turning off Data when I am not using it. Battery life is my only concern with this Phone.

I can live with 2.1 for two years if I had too. It does everything I need it to do and more even now. I could wait for 3 IF it provides something I need and will use. I rarely upgrade FW on anything unless there is an issue I am having that I am sure it will fix without creating another.
[Captivate General] houkah:
perhaps i'm an optimist but i believe galaxy s line will receive 3.0. They've already announced a 3.0 upgrade for the galaxy tab and that's essentially a big galaxy S phone. Again... probably overly optimistic heh.

Just download the zip file below and extract the .apk to your SD card. From there you can install it with any File browser.

As it turns out these are really simple to do so if anyone has any special requests for a keboard theme feel free to ask... Unless it's University of TN, then don't even bother posting here :D

Hello, I am having an issue with my droid 2. I have rooted it following all the instructions here. Since this phone is my GF's she has loaded all sorts of stuff on there, and now the phone is running slow, and burning through battery. We decided to do a factory reset on the unit.

after setting up her google account, all her old applications start flooding back in. how can i stop this? we want to have the phone with a clean slate.

we have tried deleting all the apps on the phone. rebooting, waiting then wiping as well. all these same apps come flooding in.

Any help will be appreciated.

Go through darkonion's sbf tutorial that will start you off from scratch.

will that remove root?, im not sure that would fix it tho, ive read around, and it appears like google has some sort of application backup and restore option. somehow that was turned on. and im not sure how to turn it off.
[Droid 2 General] Stephan_:
It will remove root but you can easily get root back with darkonion's one click root. Look in Settings>Privacy>uncheck Back up my data>uncheck Automatic restore and try a factory data reset.

[Droid 2 General] jerseyh22accord:
Yeah its a feature in froyo that its restoring all your apps in the my downloads folder of the market. If you have done a full wipe just open the my downloads folder and begin to uninstall apps, that should also break their chain to come back if you wipe again
[Droid 2 General] john10101:
Ive tried that, i guess ill have to keep battling it. the odd thing is my incredible does not even have this feature... maybe its the rom im using (Virtuous) but i dont see anything that even remotely looks like this.

the last thing we did was uninstall all the apps and wipe again, and they all came back. Maybe if i do it from the market, like you suggested. ive already disabled the backup and sync. i wish there was a more intuitive interface for this.
[Droid 2 General] Stephan_:
If it's not too much of a hassle just sbf the phone and make a new google account. ;)
[Droid 2 General] john10101:
So i figured out a solution. I wiped her phone. and skipped adding a google account.

I then went to settings privacy, and i saw that backup my data was unchecked, but automatic restore was both greyed out, and checked.

i quickly enabled backup my data, then unchecked automatic restore, and backup my data (making it so everything was unchecked.)

I added her google account, and none of her apps came back. This was a pain to figure out, but not that bad of a work around now that i found it.

hopefully this helps someone who is having the same issue.
