Really? Not a single reply wtf. Would they fix it? Its rooted
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickytenzer:
If it's hardware, they'll fix it assuming that it wasn't a software issue that caused the hardware. When I sent my unlocked/rooted device in for rebooting issues, they repaired it free of charge.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wsrider:
funny same issue. and yes it was fixed under warranty. the phone was unlocked but i loaded up a stock rom before sending it back

That's a little more reassuring. Thanks. How long was the process?

Hi I was wondering if anybody can help me and explain how to port wycontact to MIUI.

Wycontact is a lot superior.

Thanks.
[GT540 Optimus General] Luc-As:
Helo,

I've got a big proplem, my GT540 doesn't boot anymore it always freezes when the LG sign appears. I have this proplem since I'd tried to change the statusbar font into whiteby changing the services.jar. Hardreset and KDZ Updater aren't working. And I also tried to change the new services.jar to the old with adb but I don't get root permissions.

My phone runs with 2.1 Eclair.

Thanks for your help,

Lucas
[GT540 Optimus General] m4nu4l:
Wait, arent the status bar white by defoult ?
[GT540 Optimus General] Luc-As:
No i don't mean the bar I mean the clock, but do you have any ideas to solve my proplem?

Do The Hard Reset With Press The

Vol Up + Search Key (on the right side of the phome) + home button
[GT540 Optimus General] Luc-As:
When I Trie to do the hardreset it Happens nothing! Is there no other possibillity to reset?
[GT540 Optimus General] damjan006:
You could try fresh install with KDZ updater, that worked for me when I broked the radio and my network didn't worked. If you have troubles geting in to download mode you could try removing the battery and press volume up + camera + power button Just be carefull! Good luck
[GT540 Optimus General] Luc-As:
I tried this too, but it crashed always after I choose the kdz file

Here is the log file of KDZ Updater, rename it to Fail.log
[GT540 Optimus General] damjan006:
OK, you could try this :

If you have problems with KDZ_FW_UPD - Download and install from Microsoft two files "MSXML 4.0 SP3 Parser" and "VisualC Redist"

1 LG_Android_Driver Ver 1.0 must be installed

2 In the Device Manager disable LGE Android USB Modem

3 Run Windows Enabler (on Windows 7 as administrator) and left click on the icon in System tray ( it should be ON )

4 Run "KDZ_FW_UPD.exe" (on Windows 7 as administrator)

5 In the "Type" select "3GQCT", then choose the firmware file

6 Expand the window of the KZD flasher ( more options will emerge )

7 In the "PhoneMode" section choose "CS_EMERGENCY"

DIAG - standard flashing mode of ON state

EMERGENCY - in extreme cases!

CS_EMERGENCY - the same thing, CS - crash systems

8 Click "Start update" will process the firmware

You could also disable your anti virus and use only the back USB ports of your PC. Good luck !

Very GOOD now it did it like this.

Start your phone in recovery. Volume down+camera+power, see if the pc sees the device. Start the update tool max it and select emergency and flash again.

This fixed...

Now I need to add spanish to it. Do you know how??

Pleaz help us =(

My PC don't see my phone, my phone stay on 'lg' boot, and can't boot on emergency or hard reset... =/

EDIT: i did it! :D

You only need to desactivate the LG Android USB Modem (i didn't saw 'Modem' on Device Manager, so i could not desactivate it).

If like me you don't see Modem, you will see it during the period of time during which the device is recognized mod download, ie for about 5 seconds after you plugged in...

I hope it will help someone ;)

PS: Sorry for my english..
[GT540 Optimus General] hitakiller:
Look under modem and you see your phone

At property under tab look your com number remember it

Take teraterm create a connection with your phone you can connect it normally

When you are connected write

AT

( if you see nothing go to setting general and activate ''echo typed only'' )

If your getting OK

AT%FRST%

and the phone does a factory reset

( i'm french so i'm sorry for my english )
[GT540 Optimus General] Lacokako:
If your still stuck in the LG Logo and can't get the phone to be recognize do this...

1-. Pull out the Battery (and maybe your sim card and mSD)

2-. Connect your phone to your computer without the battery

3-. Now you should get a screen were it shows you a phone and an arrow.

4-. Open up KDZ and flash your phone and it should start flashing.

You should have a fresh install :D
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
Today as the first time I've seen a captivate turned on. It looks like an awesome phone. I talked to the sales guy for a while and he said it was the only worthwhile Android phone AT&T has.

I asked about the Bravo coming out and he didn't seem to stoked on it (plus, I've heard you can't get rid of MOTOBLUR).

Anyways, everything was great until the GPS. The sky was clear but we were indoors and it couldn't get a lock. We updated to the newest firmware (without a hitch, probably because it hadn't been modded) but the GPS did not improve.

I need with the phone because Apps rely on location services and having GPS on a bus or walking is really nice. I'm hoping this gets fixed

Has 2.2 improved the GPS at all? Is the consensus that this is a hardware issue? Is there a difference between newly manufactured phones and older ones?

I want this phone sooo bad and the AT&T lineup for Android phones is garbage (sans this one).

JOe K.
[Captivate General] manolo76:
It's a great phone. GPS seems to be hit and miss. If yours is a miss switch it out for a new one. You will love this phone.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
I must say, when I was using froyo the GPS worked perfectly. I switched back to stock recently but still have had a great experience with the GPS, its just that it takes about a minute to get a good fix on me instead of the 5 seconds froyo did. For me, it was either this phone or a blackberry torch. Then I remembered that I was considering choosing a RIM product over an android phone, and quickly bought the captivate.

:P

I love it.

And if you have a problem with the phone, well, there's probably an app that fixes it. That's why I love this little monster!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using AT&T's awful network.
[Captivate General] gtg465x:
lol GPS is not designed to work indoors. Most phones and standalone GPS units will not get a lock indoors. Next time you're at the store, go into settings and enable use wireless networks in location settings. Then you will get your indoor lock.
[Captivate General] Gerle:
If you get your location by using wifi it is hardly a gps lock, is it now?
[Captivate General] pilot_xphile:
I returned my first Captivate because I wasn't 100% satisfied with the perfomance of the GPS. After flashing Froyo it worked better but not as good as to wait for a new fix.

Yesterday I received a new captivate, I flashed Cognition's 2.2 Beta 5.5 and the GPS is perfect. I did a test drive today and I am very glad I got it replaced. Now I am 100% happy with my Captivate!! It's an awesome phone!!!
[Captivate General] bamonkey:
waiting for my 3rd one to come in myself and i have to say its funny. ive had different issues that have caused me to have to return the phone but..somehow...i still think this phone is great! and im starting to think that maybe the best solution for people is to keep trading in their phone till you get one from "the perfect batch" so to say. maybe on this next one the gps will be just perfect as the first was terrible. my current one requires me to stick my arm out the window to navigate *but can lock instantly from standstill*...crossing my fingers and toes when i get the new one
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
GPS does work indoors, without wireless turned on. My stand alone unit does too. And I must be one of the lucky ones, bought my phone in July never had a problem with it.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I have a Bravo (been testing it) and it is a decent phone, but it is not in the same league as the captivate. GPS is better, but that is the only thing better. It is more a midrange phone - slower, smaller, more plastic, etc.

As for MotoBlur - if you don't use it, it doesn't really bother you - so don't base to much on that.

If GPS is the number one thing you need in a phone - then wait for it to get sorted out or get a different phone. For me, the GPS works well enough. For walking, I can't imagine the GPS not working well enough - and you can generally see 100' in all directions to find what you are looking for anyway - even google maps is not that accurate as they always put stuff on the wrong side of the street or the wrong block.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Poster said GPS was not DESIGNED to work indoors and he/she is correct. In most buildings it won't work indoors - especially commercial buildings.

If GPS were designed to work indoors it would use a different radio frequency. If it works indoors for you, it is because your house poses little interference - this is more an exception then the norm. In most houses, even standalone units don't work.
[Captivate General] cppc:
Im just wondering if anyone of you who said the gps works perfectly have tried the gps on captivate for several times. To me, the first time using gps whenever I upgrade new firmware or flash back to stock is very good. But after that it is very bad. I dont know if it is just bad using with google navigation, havent tried with offline gps yet. Maybe I should look for an offline gps apps.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
How are you waiting for your third one? Are you still within the 30 days? Does the 30 days restart when you bring it in for a defect? Are you getting it from Samsung or swapping at an AT&T store? I can't afford to go without a phone for a day (which is sad).

Has there been a correlation between phone manufacturing date and GPS reliability?

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
GPS was never meant to work indoors. So don't bother to try and get a fix if you're sitting on your couch, that's just dumb.

I just drove to Morgantown, WV to go to WVU to see my friend. I used my GPS on the phone the entire trip. I did not use it as my sole resource for directions, I printed them out. But the entire trip (round trip 400+ miles from Baltimore) the GPS was pretty spot on. A few times it would go off onto the side roads that we're next to I-70 but it fixed itself pretty fast.

I don't believe there is any correlation between when the phone was made and it's reliability. Update to FroYo, and go for a long drive with Google Nav, you'll see a vast improvment.
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
How does AT&T's 30 day defect warranty return work?

If you get a new phone Does the 30 days restart when you bring it in for a defect? I've seen people get 3 and 4 phones.
[Captivate General] bamonkey:
Its actually very painless. I am actually OUT of my 30 day warranty but the phone is covered for a year *i dont have the insurance btw...if you do just trade in store*

anyways call ATT and get to their tech support.. they will do some stuff that is required at the first level and then get you to warranty support. they will make sure your phone is still covered by the one year warranty..make you agree that your phone hasnt been put in a toaster or the like and then tell you a new one will be shipped and to send the defective one back in a prepaid RMA...oh this assumes you are in the states so they can send one out from a distribution center. so really no gap since they send you a new one first..just make sure you send the old one back in time or they charge you for a brand new phone:eek:

edit: i also wanted to note i bought mine USED off a random stranger..they still honored the one year warranty the very first time i had an issue
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
Did you have your phone rooted (with diff ROM's such as COG)? If so, did you restore it before sending it back (odin to stock, master clear)?

I'm wondering if Best Buy would have a better warranty policy. I'm gonna get a cap by the end of the week!

Thanks,

JOe K.
[Captivate General] shinji257:
I've been messing with mine a bit and I've tried both the suggested settings as well as the stock ones and it hasn't been that great. Now I am running the stock rom right now. I'm going to update with the OTA one and see if it helps at all tomorrow. If not then I'll likely go ahead and exchange it at AT&T for another unit citing GPS issues while moving. It does get a lock while standing still. Usually once it sees 10 sats it decides to lock on half of them and hold that. It never really got a lock moving though. I had someone else drive while I kept it close to a window and nothing even with wireless assist.
[Captivate General] bamonkey:
The first one couldnt even power on after a failed flash so i couldnt do anything. on the second i just odin one click to stock and master clear. its possible best buy 'might' have a better policy but being they are still selling through ATT i imagine there is still the 30 day in store policy like most..

just ask about the instore before you buy. i went into this knowing how i would be covered before hand id say do the same here too :)

[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
Sorry fat finger post to soon..

Ok purchased digitized and replaced it. Looked good everything went fine. Till I tried to make a call the screen just goes black and unresponsive. Have to remove battery to fix it. My brother called and it rang but when I answered it went black and I couldn't hear him but he said he heard me. Please help me with this issue.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
Ok. Update it works if you use a wired headset. Maybe the speaker is not installed correctly. It was attached to the digitizer when I removed it so maybe it is installed wrong.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacitapproval:
It is the speaker and the proximity sensor. There is a tiny rubber cover with a hole in it, which goes over the sensor next to the speaker. It needs this to function properly, otherwise the screen will go off on calls and not come back on.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
Is it u shaped. Kinda goes around three sides of the speaker.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
Is there a way I can make it work or buy that piece.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
Ok new update if you push down on the digitizer in the top right corner it will work so it is the proximity sensor. On another note my digitizer is not flush with the case. This is prob due to the metal shield that I had to pry up to attach the digitizer. I will try and find some good two sided tape to pull the digitizer and lcd back down.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] erpepeillo:
Hi tbone22, same problem as you, I have removed digitizer for 3 times, and finally, speaker works fine, but the screen goes blank on calls, and I must to press screen to came again.

If you have found a solution for this, pls explain it ( double sided tape, or something similar.

Regards.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvate:
Oh such fun. Been through this myself.

Here's my curiosity... Are we installing the new digitizers wrong, or is the replacement part different in such a way that it prevents the sensor from properly working?

Also, The sensor is quitesensitive, if you remove the digi and get the sensor in a position where it's unblocked, and load up Z-devicetest which will show you the sensor's state in real time, you'll see a finger within 1-2"of the sensor triggers it, even if it doesn't really block much light.

Seems like a relative measurement, which makes me wonder if some calibration needs to be done after replacing a digi to get the software to understand what the sensor is telling it.

Then there's also the curiosity of the sensor's durability -- is it a hit sufficient to take out the digi also likely to damage the sensor? I considered replacing the sensor itself, as it's a simple SMT component on it's own small little board (read: relatively easy to rework) but couldn't find a domestic source of the part (Capella CM3602)
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacitapproval:
There is a tiny rubber cover for the sensor with a hole in it. If it is missing the sensor doesn't work properly. I had this problem when I replaced the digitizer and realized I had not mounted the cover correctly. Now the sensor works flawlessly.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbone22:
There is a way to disable the sensor it is in a thread titled proximity sensor something. As far as rubber boot I wish you could buy it I guess mine was thrown out with the old digitizer. If you use the disable function you will need a app like screen suite to lock your keys when you make a call.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Laaf2005:
Where did you purchase the digitizer? Maybe I'm not looking in the right place but when you search for htc aria digitizer on bay they are charging $400-500. Also, what's the easiest way to replace the digitizer? Anyone have a link to a YouTube video? Can you just pull up the screen or do you have to take the whole thing apart? I saw one vid where the guy pulled the whole thing apart to change the LCD, but what about just the digitizer?
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tacitapproval:
You could probably hack some sort of DIY replacement for the rubber boot. I believe all it does is block the sensor's peripheral vision, limiting its vision to straight through the circular windows on the glass.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nrvate:
Oh drat. Guess I lost that little piece. Maybe someday (like next time i smash the phone lol) I'll rig something up :)

[Legend General] maxed280:
Thinking of selling my HD2 to get a legend as ive been using android on my HD2 for a couple of says now and feel its SOOO much better than WM.

what do you think? my only concern is android runs really fast on the HD2 due to the processor etc but how dose the legend compare?

any pros and cos please feel free to say. thanks :)
[Legend General] JonasDroid:
My legend runs more then fast enough for me and it looks nicer then the desire.

But if you really want the superspeed (and maybe want to get "gingerbread") you should go for the desire
[Legend General] were2:
the legend should get gingerbread, too.

its to new for an update suspension and htc would lose reputation if they´d drop it that early.

it totaly depends on personal preferences wich mobile is better for you.

htc desire:

better cpu

live wallpaper

bigger display...

with higher resolution

more apps and games (gameloft games for example)

faster updates

htc legend:

amoled display

better design

cheaper

longer battery life (wich sadly doesnt mean its long)

Short comparison (hardware, legend/desire/hd2)

RAM: 384/576/448

ROM: 512/512/512

CPU: 600mhz/1ghz/1ghz

GPU: Only know that legend and desire should have the same, but all devices support opengl2.0

All modern standard features (gps, bluetooth 2.1 etc.): All pretty similar

but better wait for windows mobile 7 phones or the desire hd/z, or if you prefere black, there will be a black legend soon.
[Legend General] GeoMil:
How 'well' does HD2 run android now?

By the sounds of it you can't use it as a proper daily phone.

Put it this way, I was thinking about going from Legend to HD2.
