I know I didn't post the pics. I never said I did. I don't post pics of my devices because they are all demo devices and I'm not stupid enough to risk my job just to show proof when eventually the proof will be released or leaked by someone else that doesn't care about their job.

Believe what you want to believe. I could care less.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Malike25:
At this point it's all over the blogs.
[G2 and Desire Z General] vinnyjr:
Thank You for the update. I love my G2 and I have been with T-Mobile for about 4 years and have watched them grow. They have given their customers great plans compared to the other carriers and are giving great choices in devices. What else can you ask for?

PS I am very excited about the wifi calling, coming from the blackberry 9700 before I went to the Nexus One and the G2, I used UMA calling all the time. Great feature. It is nice to be able to use my netbook tethered off my phone as I ride to work in the Am. Great features that will bring more customers to T-Mobile.

Vinny
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
I'm using VISIONary with the Wireless Tether app just fine :) Haven't had much chance to use it, but I have sucessfully tethered and love it.

The only "problem" I encountered was I changed my SSID and it still showed up as the default name on my netbook :confused:
[G2 and Desire Z General] Mftek1:
I had the exact same problem bro.

[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
Not too big of a deal, but would be nice to fix. I haven't messed with encryption yet, any issues customising that?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Smokexz:
I talked to a T-Mobile employee and he said that tethering plans are coming soon... so if you get the OTA update, enjoy that free tethering for all the time you get with it :( I am not trolling by the way, its true, unless this employee is really dumb...

Sent from my T-Mobile G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeatron:
what wireless tethering app are you guys using? i installed barnacle but i cant get my laptop to see the ssid
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
http://code.google.com/p/android-wi...name=wireless_tether_2_0_5-pre11.apk&can=2&q=

I'm successfully using this. Barnacle didn't work for me either
[G2 and Desire Z General] mikeatron:
sweeet thanks man, works great. who needs perm root, just press one button and you have wifi tether :p im content for now
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
Same here lol, this meets one of my main requirements for custom roms
[EVO 4G General] slinks1000:
So a month or so back i rooted my evo with 2.2 all went well. I tried to do the recent OTA update copied it to the root directory rebooted to hboot went to recovery and preceded to load the update. It updated and rebooted as normal. When it rebooted I got the screen with if i remember correctly a yellowish green arrow pointing down on it, well i waited and waited and it stayed on that screen so i figured something got hosed up so i pulled the battery. Now all i get is the white evo 4g screen. I can get in to hboot but if i try to go to recovery again it reboots and just gets stuck at the same white evo 4g screen.

Am I hosed?
[EVO 4G General] cor4twenty:
Have you tried a PC36IMG zip and flasht the latest ota that way. I saw one posted in dev section
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
You pulled the battery in the middle of the install so it won't boot up. Load the PC36IMG (stock) or w/e it's called onto your SD card, boot into HBoot and let it install
[EVO 4G General] slinks1000:
Worked like a charm many thanks good sir.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
So we have Captivate:General Captivate:Development Captivate:Themes

So how about a Captivate:GPS forum? Then all the repeated questions and repeated copy & pasted answers and all the basically duplicate threads can go in there.

Who's with me! :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] keitht:
I don't think an entire forum is needed for GPS issues.
[Captivate General] Roxy:
Uh... nah, I don't think it's necessary to make another section just for GPS.
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
+1.................

The first stage in curing alcoholism is to acknowledge you are a alcoholic.

There absolutely is a GPS issue and people need to stop acting like there isn't. A devoted section would help fix the problem. I am no expert programmer, but have the gurus here separate each section and find the problem. To me that would be pretty cool to see on the web............****Official Captivate GPS Fix Guaranteed on XDA****on Google news, before Samsung puts it out.
[Captivate General] TheSopranos16:
Except we don't have any Guaranteed fix. Only improvements, but certainly no "fix".
[Captivate General] JOe K.:
True.

Technically the first step is "We admitted we were powerless over alcohol, that our lives had become unmanageable."
[Captivate General] fraztto:
I agree, GPS on this device is an awful issue. maybie there should be a dedicated forum.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
-1

Yes it is a real problem, but there is no official fix and all of the community fixes are 50/50 in terms of success. Even the problem is not fully understood.

How many different topics could the forum have in regards to GPS - it would just be a bunch of threads "mine works" or "mine doesn't" or "this is what i did to fix GPS".

I want to see what the i9000 gets when Froyo is released - which should be any time now. If Samsung didn't fix it then, I think things will get a lot more serious.
[Captivate General] Palmetto_X:
LOL...................
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
-1. Just what we need, more clutter when nobody knows how to use the search button now. There are so many gps threads that I'm like 98% positive that every question anyone has about the gps has probably been asked and answered already
[Captivate General] s44:
Very clever, but it would have to be a Galaxy S (all variants) GPS forum.
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
....it would put all the gps threads that keep getting bumped to the top in general into their own little hidey hole....

by the way, I'm happy with my gps, now that I turn off agps, clear gps data before I use it, and accept totally that google nav is totally inaccurate.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
Instead how about a forum dedicated to coming up with ways to make Samsung fix the problem.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I would be happier with a "Samsung and Captivate Suck" sub-forum. Most of us know the captivate has problems and Samsung is somewhat unresponsive, but we code the captivate because it was still the best choice for us. These repetitive threads choke everything useful out of this forum.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Neither Samsung or the Captivate suck. Every device and company has it short comings but I've never been displeased with any of the 4 Samsung phones I've owned (spanning at least 6 years), and certainly not the Captivate. Without a doubt it's the greatest phone I've ever owned. Yes, the GPS sucked, but it's a phone, it's for making phone calls and sending texts. Who would have thought we'd be putting GPS in our phones back in 2005?
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
I really wanted mine to work- it is a great phone, with a lot of flaws. Core flaws.

GPS

Screen tint variations(minor but none the less it's there)

File system/need for lag fix

Random shut downs for some

It had a lot of positives though. I honestly would have kept mine if it weren't for the random shut downs and having to deal with Att for hours at a time just to get a warranty replacement only to hope it doesn't start shutting down 3 weeks later.
[Captivate General] vietn95:
why not just make a poll :)
[Captivate General] bwolmarans:
Ah shaddap

The awesome thinness and lightness does not suck.

The big screen and stunning video playback doesn't suck.

It also doesn't suck for games at alll ... it rocks for games!

The sound is excellent, loud speaker, it has very clear voice conversations.

Dialing is very good.

It boots nice and fast.

But it sure does sucks for parsing urls in email and calendar and the gps does suck in about every way a gps can suck, that's for sure.

No GAL lookup sucks.

No editing of emails people send you sucks.

No touch-drag copy-paste sucks.

I also hate the fact the usb is on the top.

woah WAIT eh you say this isn't a rant thread whu ? :confused:
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I think my post has been misinterpreted. I want a "samsung sucks" forum so all those threads can be caged there. Then I could easily ignore them and only read real questions and constructive threads in the "general" forum.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brynn85:
I realize I'll probably get yelled at because the answer is probably somewhere painfully obvious, although I've searched and haven't found anything... How exactly do you save/downloads pictures from the browser or email, etc to your phone? I tried to do a long press and wait for the option to come up, but just isn't happening for me. :(

Please be nice, it's been a long day... :-/ lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dhncali420:
I struggled with this myself...

for the browser it is long press/hold and an option will come up, but if your at the mobile version of the website you wont be able to (except for some sites) if you switch to desktop view (full html) you will get the long press/hold options.

Email (gmail client) I have not been able to figure it out not sure if there is a way to, except for clicking the attachment and let it open on your phone then save as within the program that opened the attachment or picture, or open gmail in the browser

hope this helps a little, If someone else knows a way please shed some light
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc41:
I'm trying out 2.2 and have the default email client (not Gmail) set up to sync with an exchange server. I can't open jpg files sent as attachments. I can open other formats (pdf, doc, etc).

I assume this is because the email client doesn't think there's an app set to default for jpg files, but Gallery and Astro both have viewers and open just fine when I click on a jpg file already on my device.

Does anyone know where/how I set the default jpg viewer in such a way that the email client recognizes it?

Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zelendel:
For email attachments I use Black Moon attachsave lite found in the market
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dc41:
black moon doesn't seem to work with the default email app (not gmail). It's probably the apps problem. I don't see any way to preview on attachment. As I posted earlier,I only have this problem with jpegs. I can open other files attachments. The open/preview button just isn't there on the jpeg attachments. But thanks for the suggestions!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bubbad58:
I was able to open email, pull down notification bar, tap down arrow of attachments, option to save or open attachment.

After using 6.5, I am Never going to use 6.1 again!!

6.1 hangs more than 6.5 ( not any 6.5 ROM )

you can try Energy Standard 'Reference' or Titanium.. its a bit fast and stable.

GoodLuck
[XPERIA X1 General] biernes_atrece:
+ 1 to not going back to 6.1. sorry.

had gone back to pure x1 stuff but not 6.1.

the usability is far better. but that's just me.

you might have a different experience and that's just fine.
[XPERIA X1 General] Lunie:
Thanks for sharing, useful incase I want to give my phone to someone I hate.
[XPERIA X1 General] experiax1:
i actually tried a lot of roms..... my phone's back cover is broken [or case] because of that..... this is just for the people afraid it might have to send back to SE service.... and its working fine but looks ugly compared to 6.5.5 roms:mad:.....good battery life though....

i want you guys to try all the softwares you guys using now with this rom and tell us its freezing or not.........
[XPERIA X1 General] experiax1:

[XPERIA X1 General] freak4all:
+ 1 to not going back to 6.1., too!

6.5 is even more functionally then 6.1!

i'm using energy rom without a sod/freeze...

btw: i miss the panels from stock rom, but installing panel manager and panels slowing down the x1
[XPERIA X1 General] briian_:
LOL, true that.
[XPERIA X1 General] AmirX1:

I will move the thread to General, as it is not rom development related

Best, DK
[XPERIA X1 General] spine6:
Well, I also want 6.5 not 6.1 because of so many differences.. And i should say that my phone works well with 6.5 than 6.1 but thanks for sharing it..
[XPERIA X1 General] paul c:
Looks like we're different :)

I tried the Energy ROM (6.5), didn't like the fonts, specifically the size of them, also had a lot of SODs.

Tried Valkyrie's Firestorm, 6.5 for about 4 months - nice ROM, very stable, had a few SODs but resolved them via power management parameters in AdvancedConfig

Gone back to Mr Rusch's Touch ROM 6.1 and 2.5 sense. Much prefer it.

Speed seems comparable (I don't do speed tests on r/w etc), no SODs, and because of the Graphics drivers, I get to play Experiment 13 and Xtract again :cool: - and I get to see the numbers on the password screen of SPB Wallet again.

Only thing I miss from 6.5? the transparent wait icon (seriously), the frustrating order of apps in the folders ;)

6.1 is
[XPERIA X1 General] comeradealexi:
i recently gone back to 6.1! i find it just smoother and more responsive. i find 6.5 too boggy and slow. using Jacks rom atm and its great 6.1 rom :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hatdrawn:
Hey guys,

Tried to search but didn't find anything, hope this isn't a dupe.

So after I had JPK for a while I noticed that Swype didn't work anymore. I figured it was because it had no languages. I tried the Swype 2.4.44.110814 technique described in the Themes section but I just ended up with the same issue.

Is this a know problem I didn't find? Is there a solution? If no current solution, can someone think of one? Would getting the files off someone's I9000M running JPK work?

I absolutely love the Virtuous ROM and don't care for SkyRaider, except for the Espresso launcher. I really want it!

[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] John5788:
is there an app for the G2 that allows me to turn the camera flash on/off?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] ezcape:
If your asking for like a flashlight app. Download LED Light from the market. It's an actual widget also. Hope this helps..

- Fly like a G2
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] elreason4:
I use the Power Control Plus widget (and program one button to the flash....)

If the jpg attachment worked, it is the large lightning button on top....On/Off...it works great....
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] John5788:
perfect thanks.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] scottmog:
teslaLED is the best light app hands down
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] rmcsc:
TeslaLED is another option. It lets you create a Power Widget-like widget to control the flashlight, too.

Remember to add the app to a keyboard shortcut!
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] scottmog:
why? haha ;)

I keep tesla on my left one page.

my shortcuts are:

left bottom: sms

right bottom: gmail

left side: browser

I dont really use the light app much, but when I had a motorola cliq i def realized that i didnt have an led, I had to carry around one of those little rave lights on my keychain all the time...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] sinistersai4d4d:
Before you start flaming me, I'm pretty sure these are legit and posted with approval of the developer.... You can buy the icons right from the page directly.

But if you're like me you only needed like one or two of these to complete your dock icons.

I only needed the SETTINGS one, because as you can see the one I had was one I made in photoshop out of desperation.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
When I press on the very bottom of the screen (edge of the glass), it acts as a click to about 1/3 the way up the screen. This is annoying by its self (and doesn't seem ROM related) but also my screen sometimes locks up, with a point at about 1/3 the way up the screen, and horizontally in the middle, and I can't do anything until I lock the screen and leave it off for a second. More recently, but related to this issue, the keyboard when typing hasn't been accurate. I've tried to type 'a' but got caps or 'q' instead, and I get letters I didn't press.

This is not ROM related, as it started happening on CM6 about a week ago, and I've flashed Ava V9, Myn's 2.2, FrEaKy Evo, and CM6, and I have tried stock kernels, and Kings. It seems to lock up more when plugged in also. I've been watching the forums and I haven't seen anyone else post about this, is it just me? It seems very hardware related, but if there is a fix for it that someone knows about, please let me know.

If I get around to it I might take a video of what I'm talking about, but probably only if it's requested.

I'm currently running Myn's Two-Point-Two with King's CFS #11 and am still getting the issues. I've rebooted, and wiped cache/dalvik, flashed new roms, reflashed, nothing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bhughes3:
I am having the exact problem, except that the spot that keeps getting phantom clicks is at the very top of the screen, so the drop down bar starts freaking out. I downloaded the program 'dotty' and it is showing that a touch is being registered in the expect spot, so I'm pretty sure it is just an issue with the screen hardware. I want to take it to a sprint store and see if they can replace just the screen instead of getting a brand new phone because I have so much stuff downloaded on it and I don't want to lose data/settings.

It happens a lot, but then I will have days at a time that it stops happening...its just very strange.

Its good to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem. Currently running rooted stock froyo. unrevoked forever. Original June 7th release device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrjeancw:
same here...was happening witht he W/q as well...but when your viewing a white page you can see a light on the screen brighter than the rest...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mistersquirrle:
W/q? what are you talking about there?

also the light bright spot is completely unrelated: evo developing a light spot in middle of screen

Screen burn possibly due to overclock

Bright spot in the lower right of screen

I downloaded dotty, and it's saying my spot is at:

X: 159.6

Y: 363.5

and P which I'm assuming is the size of the area being touched at .937.

I tested P and it does seem to be how big of an area you're touching but the biggest that I could get using my thumb was only .235, so it's a huge area and constantly in the same spot. Some times it gives me two points or one a bit up and to the left.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Okay so I updated to JI6 from KIES. I was having some problems after the update so I decided to restore my nandroid made by ROM Manager (a backup made before the update - at JFD). I restore it, phone reboots, etc. However, now it is stuck at the "Vibrant Samsung" screen -- you know the one that comes with the T-Mobile logo appears. The odd thing is I even hear the load-up sound that plays, but the phone does not go past the Vibrant screen.

Help please?
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Oh and I can still boot into recovery mode...
[Vibrant General] toneloc99:
You sure you are waiting long enough? Mine took about 5 minutes after the firmware upgrade to get past the samsung vibrant screen. I thought it was frozen at first but I guess it takes awhile after the firmware upgrade.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
This is after I did the restore from ROM Manager -- not after the firmware upgrade.

:(
[Vibrant General] fcbarca17:
This is caused by downgrading from ji6. If you nadroid on ji6 to stock it will brick. I believe the only way to fix would be through odin. Hope it gets worked out.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
doh >.>

Why the heck can't I get into Download Mode...

EDIT: Nevermind, got into download mode. Apparently you dont hold power key for DM.
[Vibrant General] fcbarca17:
Okay i ll make sure to never help you again. Have fun with your attitude and bricked phone.

Huh? What did I do to you =O

Anyway, I think my phone is really bricked now. Can't get into download mode.
