Yeah, programming experience is a plus. I haven't had a chance to sit down with Android SDK yet, but I've done some Blackberry J2ME programming and I think it's fairly easy if you're familiar with OOP. Then again you're in HS, I don't know if they teach you that stuff in HS.

I think you should just start with their Hello World examples and expand on that... That's the only way to really learn.

Find some Youtube videos on C#, those were pretty helpful when I started learning

I just got off the horn with T-Mobile Blackberry-PDA Support. T-Mobile engineers ran some sort of test matching smart phones to the appropriate service they are to have. Those of us who have grandfather data plans were are knocked off today in preparation for T-Mobile releasing Windows Phone 7 devices from HTC, LG and Samsung starting next month. TMBS restored my SIM card settings on my lines on their end to match service codes on each of my lines That said, my internet service on my lines were restored prior to I calling them. I confirmed in another thread that changing my APN from "epc.tmobile.com" to "wap.voicestream.com" restored my internet service; however all of this being bang-bang; I can't be sure. All my lines came back up while adjusting my device settings and talking to TMBS.

HD2 users only - TMBS mentioned there have been some issues with the HD2s switching from Wi-Fi to Mobile Internet and obtaining internet service.

One Click Rom/Theme Optimizer

I did a side by side comparison of the before and after optimization of an AOSP rom. So if you look the total zip file is bigger by about 13-14 kb.... but if you dig into the rom and look at framework-res.apk from the original compared to the optoed one you see that size is:

org = 2,002,965

opto = 1,929,183

diff = 73,782 bytes or 72.05 kb

and if you look at the system/app folder sizes and compare them:

org = 10,184,892

opto = 10,039,213

diff = 145,679 bytes or 142.2 kb

Final difference of .20 megabytes!!!! on a rom that was already optimized.

So I think that the size in the final rom ends up bigger because I also zip align the final rom, I actually don't think this is needed and thats why AOSP rom goes from 47,587 kb to 47,600 kb since the zipalign actually align the zips so that that bytes are in 4 bit blocks.

So the theme/rom optimizer worked so well it inspired LiquidSolstice to do this

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamgea:
So here's the situation...basically am getting about 12-14hrs of battery life. I have been switching roms, sticking mostly with bionix. However it doesn't matter what rom I still average about the same.

I'm not sure what I actually should be getting so I thought I would ask. I user my phone for basic use; texting, checking email, 30 min podcast, and an app or something. I don't game or watch videos.

Can we here what people are getting and if there is something that can be done to get more life on my battery?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
The other dozen threads on the same topic didn't provide enough information?

Use 2G/3G Network Switcher and stay in 2G mode unless you really need speeds faster than EDGE (downloading a podcast). For texting and email, 2G is fine and will help battery life. Also using Juice Defender can help as well.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nearblack:
Go download Auto Killer, and set it to whatever level you want.

Also, go wipe you battery stats.

See if that helps...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Chamgea:
Yup I've done all the above. Just curious if I'm still getting what is standard. I've searched the forums but if you know the best place to look then point me in the right direction. Keep the advice coming
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
12-14 hours is pretty good. Best I got was with Franken-Twiz 3. I think the J16 modem in Franken-Twiz 4 is killing my battery faster so you can flash Modem J12 or try Bionix 1.8 which has Modem J12 in it.

wipe battery stats
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
Welp with 3g and wifi off I'm easily getting 16hours and on average I'll have 50-70% left of my battery.

I just normally use it as a phone thou. You know some emails, text messages, some surfing.

Just in case you think I'm nuts heres a screen shot as of now. 98% with 3hours on the battery and 48% with 16hours on the battery.

Last night I went to bed at 10pm and my phone was off the charger since 6am and I had 72% on the battery.

I've learned the more you fiddle with your phone the more battery it uses obviously. I've had several phones so I don't have to constantly play with it. Play videos or stream and well it will eat batteries. Use GPS and wifi it will destroy your battery life. Of course I'm not a power miser, but honestly I use it when I need it and when I don't it just sits there until I do. ;)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Shrivel:
I'm getting similar performance with the JI6 OTA, and I generally leave both GPS and 3G on all the time. I just checked my battery stats and my phone's been off the charger for almost 4 hours and my battery percentage is still at 99%. Granted, I've only made two short calls and checked e-mail a few times but I'd call this very good performance. I also woke at 7:30am and surfed around on my phone reading forums and web sites (my display was on for the ENTIRE hour+) for over an hour this morning and when I plugged back in at 8:45 am, I'd used less than 10% battery. I'm also noticing that my phone is charging WAY faster than stock or JI2.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reaton33:
Personally, I have posted about this topic many times but I'm ignored. My battery was terrible before I rooted and did OCLF. After root+lag fix my battery literally tripled in life. I could go 2 days with the same amount of use. Watch videos, surf internet, make calls, do whatever and it would barely use my battery. After this JI6 update I am back to square one. I 'reconditioned' my battery by running it down to zero then charging it back up completely. It definitely helped but I'm still losing a percent by the minute just having the screen on.

Dont waste your time telling me to use juicedefender, turning off wifi, switching to 2g only, task killers, blah blah blah, or any of that crap. I've done it all. I"m still looking into the JI6 radio draining my battery though. Theres a lot of talk about that being an issue.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
The JI6 Modem does drain your battery. No doubt about it. I've switched to JI2 and yes my GPS appeared to have suffered a bit and sometimes my Edge connection isn't as good as JI6, but way better battery life.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Or you can do what I do and leave your headphones plugged in and leave the music playing overnight. Seems to make my battery last about 2-4 hours more than it regularly would. Hope that helps:)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domtru:
I have uninstalled any battery app because I noticed they drained my battery faster. What I have noticed about the phone, when I charge it with lets say 25 percent still remaining it charges faster,, naturally,, but the battery drains much much much faster. To remedy this,,i use the phone until the battery icon is blank and blinking before I start charging the phone. Naturally, this causes the phone to need a substantial amount of time to charge however the battery doesn't drain nearly as fast. I am a heavy user btw...give it a shot and confirm what I say.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
I flashed bionix 1.8 two days ago, charged it up, wiped the battery stats, and let it dry clean.

The phone was in Auto mode for EDGE/WCDMA, reinstalled/downloaded my apps and some more, tested GPS on a few occasions, watched some HQ content on Youtube, and tested VideoPlayer, a few calls, some SMS and MMS, I listened to my music for the most part on it. 30+ hours later the phone finally drained.

With any stock FW's I could not get through more than 24 hours of a regular use with 2G mode only.

Currently I am at 79% at 11hr mark since unplugged.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shoofly:
Ive had problems with charging since i bought it but i rooted so i cant take it in to sprint

sometimes it goes away though

i left it on for like an hour and it got to 16%

but now it was using the battery while it was charging because i turned the camera on just for one picture it was at 5%

is it suppose to be like this or should i unroot and try to take it into sprint
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigblueshock:
Are you using the stock charger?

Try plugging the USB wire directly into a PC/Laptop and see how it charges from there. If it charges normally, i'd say it's the main charger piece connected to the outlet. (The module between the cable and the outlet)

I've also gotten this issue 3rd party charges. The Evo is very picky on how it likes to charge =P

Is there anyway to get the stock 2.1 Samsung (not android) keyboard on 2.2? My friend really doesn't like the changes and wants the old one. I'm trying to help him out
[Captivate General] nbs11:
Not that I know of. The Samsung keyboard is built into the phone. If you wanted to reverse engineer it then it would be possible.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
(I haven't tried this before so there are no guarantees) On my Cog 2.2 b5.5, in the Titanium Back Up, there is a "Samsung keypad 2.2". Could you maybe go back to 2.1*, root, then install TB, back up the "Samsung keypad 2.1" (assuming that it's possible) then get back to 2.2 and restore it?

*or find someone who has 2.1 and can back up the "Samsung keypad 2.1" and give you the 3 files necessary to restore it.

I'm not sure if this will work, but in theory, it sure looks good. :o

I too am looking for the Samsung Keyboard included in 2.1

While I like the new one, the old one did have more symbols.

One symbol in particular that I miss was the circle that had the tips of the letter "x" coming out on each side. No other keyboard I've seen has this symbol.

I really hope someone knows of a way to get older keyboards. I'd like to have both honestly.
[Captivate General] rafter109:
I have developed One Click De-cripple to enable installation of non-market on the Captivate with one click. While many of you may be saying that Android Central's Sideload Wonder Machine already does this, my program will make a persistent change to enable non-market app installation without being attached to a computer. OCD was developed in Visual Studio 2010, therefore prerequisites will be that the USB drivers already be installed, that .NET 4.0 be installed, and the phone is already rooted. If you have not yet rooted your phone, I recommend "Samsung Galaxy S One Click Root" by TGA_Gunnman.

v1.0.0.2.

Added PayPal Donate button. If you like my program, please donate to help finance my further development for the Captivate.

DB edit through shell isn't that difficult. and YES... another one. Apparently some people have been experiencing issues with rageagainstthecage which is what SuperOneClick relies on.

It wasn't a gripe, just an observation. Maybe a better alternative is for a campaign to get AT&T to uncripple the platform.

[Captivate General] rafter109:
OCD was designed and tested for 2.1 Eclair but will likely work on 2.2 Froyo. My understanding is that the manual process to enable non-market apps on 2.2 is identical to 2.1. If you are running 2.2 and have tried OCD, please share your experience.
[Captivate General] rafter109:
OCD should work with OCLF but has not been tested with it. OCD requires that the phone already be rooted so you are already half-way there.

Unfortunately OCD is designed for Windows XP, Vista and 7 only. I do not have access to any Apple computers for development and testing, therefore I have no plans to develop a Mac compatible version at this time.
