Finally got kies to recognize my phone after usb debugging was enabled. I think my phone got hardware locked during the process. I tried to boot to recovery via the 3 finger salute and it wouldn't go, had to use the one click root on my PC to get it to go to recovery.
[Vibrant General] erhan82:
mini kies worked, it was super easy. just ake sure to read directions (as well as other peoples posts from experience) 1st. after applying the update i used 1 click lag fix from market, now im rooted with no lag, my quadrant score went from like 800 to around 21-2200. phone is FLYING now, this is how the phone should have shipped out of the box! gps is still kind of wack. I would prefer to use wireless networks because gps uses more battery, but other than that no complaints.
[Vibrant General] ULiAsuj10:
Kies mini force closing everytime...i connect my phone.... does anyone know the fix? All the drivers downloaded successfully.
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
I always need to touch the Return key for 2-3 times to make it work, sometimes it doesnt work at all and I have to use Home key instead...

Is it a common software problem or it's just my cappy ?
[Captivate General] fraztto:
It happens to me with any rom/kernel etc.

I don't know if it is software or hardware related, my back/return key is irresponsive almost everytime, speccially whe the softkeys backlight is off
[Captivate General] smbyers:
I have the same problem especially when the backlight is off.
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
I dont think there is anything wrong with the hardware or software that has to do with this button i just think its the way the phone was designed. I have issues too sometimes with it. Really you just have to hit it in exactly the right spot and it works every time. Play aroundwith it and youll probably notice its fine you just have to hit it in the right spot. Still its frustrating i know. Ive just started planting my whole thumb print on that sucker and it works every time.
[Captivate General] iMouseOne:
Yup, I hate it, I've played with a Samsung Fascinate and it's return button is so responsive, it's hard to believe it's anything else but a hardware problem.
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
the problem is that, why are all the other three keys work every time? ive tested in LCD TEST MODE and it seems like if you touch it fast it wont response while the other buttons have no problem like this
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
if it always works like this, i can still tolerate it, what i really worried about is that maybe one day it will be totally broken.
[Captivate General] villeban:
Well, I went to the repair store and they are aware of this issue. Is a hardware issue. The phone works this way. Its frustating because all other buttons works fine except return. I had an unlocked T-Mo Vibrant with Att, which BTW, works with ATT 3G service, and all of the bottons were very responsive, they even have a better lighted keypad. I suppose this is a design fault.
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
yep, vibrant and fascinate has brighter back light than cappy
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
did they mentioned how r they gonna solve this?
[Captivate General] poetgeek:
Same problem here. It's completely non-functional if the phone is behind the window of my armband. All the other buttons work, though the home button is a bit touchy too.
[Captivate General] cppc:
Well mine has the same problem too, even the home button is like that. I tried with 3 Captivates and they are all the same. I just don't understand why people in this forum never bring this problem up before (seriously). Well, it is not something like very annoying, but we should get better that this!!!
[Captivate General] tylerdurdin:
When I called samsung about this back in September after having this phone for two months the tech said.........get this, that the home and return buttons required a double tap due to the location to avoid backing out of apps like the browser and apps that require alot of lower screen use. I dont even believe it a little bit but who knows maybe I am wrong. All I do know is that all three of the captivates we have require at LEAST two taps, I dont think we are going to make samsung admit to to many more actual issues with this device.
[Captivate General] insaneturbo13:
i have learned on mine, that if i swype any of the keys from the top left down to the bottom right all the buttons work 100% of the time.. but that may just be mine
[Captivate General] shengshuyang:
Really, we deserve better than this. Malfunction in GPS is even less important than this issue, we can live without GPS, but can never live with a stupid back bottom. I really cant understand, how did the Samsung guys even let this design get through the quality test...
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
No problems with either of mine..I've 2 exactly the same date and both work fine with a light touch on all of the buttons..both of mine are the 9-4-2010 model with the JH7 firmware installed.

Mac
[Captivate General] darkamikaze:
same issue.. annoys me a lot. I'm thinking I should abuse the Home key and just use a task killer lol
[Captivate General] bknust:
Same here. I notice it is much worse when my hands are dry (my skin is always dry anyway). If I dampen my finger (like, you know, licking it) it responds much better. It almost seems like it doesn't register capacitance as well in that area (really, all the buttons for me), but for some reason the rest of the screen is fine. It is rather irritating at times, but I deal with it. They'd probably have to replace the whole screen to fix it, and I don't see that happening.
[Captivate General] Dxtra:
No problem here, and on any other Captivate I try.
[Captivate General] ricethief:
I have just the opposite problem with the search button. It has a mind of its own. I won't be touching a button or the screen and the stupid search comes up. It is really starting to get annoying. I was happy at first with the captivate, but this will be my last Samsung phone. They make things with nice hardware but their software and build quality is pretty craptacular. Talk about a piece of junk.
[Captivate General] Algorismus:
Same problem here :(
[Captivate General] Islan06:
I agree. I've never had problems till recently. I do not agree with the 2 tap requirement that Samsung alludes to. I believe this is a problem. Hopefully, this is the extent of the problem. I would hate a permanently non-functional back button :(
[Droid Incredible General] invisiblek:
So I have been looking for a solution to the problem that I always seem to have. I want to adjust the volume for say my ringer, but it changes it for my media, or something else.

I came across this, using Mini Info (free from market) and a LauncherPro (also free in market) activity

Long press on your home screen, choose Shortcuts, Activities, Mini Info, then choose the one that says: com.dynotes.miniinfo.VolumeControl

Choose a custom name or icon if you want.

Enjoy!

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arikyeo:
Sorry for my noob question, I just bought a HD2 yesterday ;D

But, all the roms I've downloaded, none of them work. I tried CustomRUU, HSPL, SSPL, and SDCARD method but none of them were able to flash the ROM into my phone.

HSPL did install correctly. (I saw the "we hacked it!" at the end of the process, I tried 2.08) But for the CustomRUU and SSPL (I tried SSPL before installing HSPL) The phone keeps on booting into the htc logo and the proressbar, but stays at 0% for about 10 min and after that it says error 262, and prompts me to restore. I did it, the phone does turn on to the white htc logo, but stays there for as long as I left it there. I tried the CustomRUU and SSPL many times but all the same. For the SDCARD method, I did format to FAT32, renamed the ROM to LEOIMG.nbh, and put it to the root of SD card. But when I go to the bootloader, expecting for some "instructions" , I get a tricoloured screen with some info at the top and "serial" at the bottom. hat am I doing wrong? This is FUSTRATING ME!:mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aayush3009:
Flash a newer radio via the bootloader. then flash your custom ROM.
[Off-topic] jaszek:
Is there anyone in NYC that wants to trade a brand new Intel i5-760 LGA 1156 for an i7 processor with LGA1366?

Hey, worth a try.

I got the wrong processor, thinking the socket will be the same throughout the 'i' series like with was with the core2 series.
[Off-topic] orb3000:
In case this was approved by site Admin should go to marketplace, but almost sure only devices related items are allowed to post there

YEa that's what I was thinking. If something please move the thread. I'm kind of pissed since I was planning to finish building the rig tonight, but I have to wait for the new processor before it runs.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] kevinlferguson:
Hello Everyone,

I have in the last 3 or 4 days joined in the rooted party of phones. With the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM on my Incredible i have tried a number of Circle Battery mods without success.

Thanks to the people that did a walk through on nandroid backups and restores i have not completely broke my phone.

With the above being known i apologize to anyone that reads this and says to them self "IDIOT!!" but i have a few questions I'm hoping i can get some answers on from other people with Incredibles.

1. If I install a different ROM like Cyanogen or Uncommon Sense to get the Circle Battery mod working will i be able to get back to my stock 2.2 rooted ROM using the restore like i did before?

1a. Is doing the ROM update done just like installing a mod "recovery-->install from .zip-->choose .zip"?

2. Is the Stock 2.2 rooted ROM worth staying with?

2a. If not and Verizon comes out with 3.0 or whatever the next number is can i go back to the stock ROM?

3. Does anyone have any known working Circle Battery mods for the Incredible running stock 2.2 rooted? ((I'm looking for something like "Ultimate Online Theme Kitchen") (SCB with %, Version Z, Custom type, colors--> A.))

Thanks for anyone replying.

:)
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] XideXL:
I'm no expert, but I believe the reason the battery mod doesn't work with your stock ROM is because in order for those types of customizations to work, your ROM must be de-odexed. This is pretty standard in most custom ROMs but is not the case with stock.

As for your questions:

Yes, but when you do the restore everything will go back to the way it was before you flashed the new ROM. You won't be able to restore and keep the battery icon. When you create a nandroid backup, it's essentially a complete snapshot inside and out of everything on your phone.

Yes. Be sure to wipe data/cache when flashing a new ROM though, otherwise you will run into problems. Always have a nandroid backup before flashing anything new just in case!

It depends on what you are looking for. Many ROMs include additional features, performance tweaks and customization options not available with stock. I'd suggest trying a few out to see what fits your tastes. If you're looking for something similar to stock with all the junk removed and ability to add things like custom battery modifications, I would give Virtuous a try.

For the most part, I would just stay rooted, as you'll most likely be able to get an official 3.0 ROM leak before Verizon gets an OTA out anyway. However, there are ways to revert to stock and unroot your device if you really want to. A little searching of these forums can provide you with a guide on how to do this.[/QUOTE]

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] kevinlferguson:
Wow... thanks for the information XideXL i think i will try a few other ROMs like your suggest and just keep my nandroid backup on hand should anything go bad.
[Vibrant General] samfriedman:
I just talked to a tmobile guy and he said that they are pushing the update out to 20,000 phones at a time and its taking awhile because they sold millions of vibrants.

Also he said that a samsung rep came in to their store today and told them that froyo is expected at the middle of next month.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Finally!!!!!! Actual hard facts. Thank you sooo much for the informat..... you know what? Prepare to get flamed son.
[Vibrant General] hitman818:
I think the date for froyo is about right because the JI6 update is going to till the end of the month.
[Vibrant General] AgentFour20:
Sorry but im calling BS . I read dumb post like this everyday . "I know a guy that knows a guy who says FROYO IS COMING !!"
[Vibrant General] samfriedman:
Call the tmobile store in cherry creek denver CO I am being completely serious this is not bs

[Vibrant General] samfriedman:
Thanks for the welcome but im just posting exactly what the tmobile guy told me

seriously heres their number 303-388-3043
[Vibrant General] kumbhani:
What does at a time really mean? Per hour? Per day? At 20000 updates / day, it would take 50 days for the first million updates. My guess I'd that if your froyo date us right, they'd need to push out updates a lot faster. Otherwise people would be getting froyo before the incremental.
[Vibrant General] samfriedman:
I think they push out 20,000 at a time but probably about 3-4 times a day or more. Also I think the update is regional
[Vibrant General] robo21:
The point is not that anyone thinks you are "lying" about what you heard. The point is that there are countless posts across the Internet stating that Froyo is coming and when. And everyone has it on good authority from someone at Tmo or Samsung, etc. etc.

No one really cares about all the speculative estimates. It gets here when it gets here, period.

I can't tell you how many posts I've read where someone says, "My friend who works for Samsung says yada yada..." They have yet to be accurate. And even if they were based on fact the dates are subject to change. A good example is Samsung's estimate of a GPS fix coming in September for the Vibrant. They were 7 days late with that and Samsung posted that for the world to see!
[Vibrant General] briguydj32:
The tmobile guy in my area said tmobile was getting the iphone this past june..... Another rep told me the hd2 was gonna be android... Dude, those reps dont know anything other than what u can read here. Trust me.
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
Why is Froyo in mid-November an unbelievable time frame? There's been numerous Froyo leaks for the generic Galaxy S, one for the Captivate, and a supposed e-mail between Samsung people that said Froyo was finishing testing. Mid-November makes sense. Do I expect it to be 100% in mid-November? No, but I woudn't be the least bit surprised if it was, it's not a crazy idea.
[Vibrant General] anthonys2r:
One of the reasons why is because samsung JUST released the JI6 update (which is still being distributed). If it were to be mid-november, they couldve just skipped the update (save the hassle & bandwidth cost) and went straight to froyo the next month. Don't get me wrong though, I would LOVE a mid-November (or sooner) release.
[Vibrant General] eunkipark92:
My dad works for tmobile and the rep told him that every vibrant owner will receive htc g2 for free. He also said that vibrant will receive gingerbread tomorrow night. And will recive android 4.0 on friday. See heres the thing

Reps doesnt know **** period
[Vibrant General] Threat Blvd:
My butler's piano teacher has a student who works for T-Mobile, and they said the world is coming to an end in 20 minutes, so no need to worry about Froyo.
[Vibrant General] dmolition:
Mid November of what year?
[Vibrant General] xalucardx:
I think cm6 runs on vibrant before samsung realese froyo...

[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:

You do realize that there was an update to fix the gps right?

not to be mean but I think you're an idiot.

[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
It's kind of sad that a much older phone is getting 2.2 possibly 2+ months before a new phone that's sold 5 million units.
[Vibrant General] rsfaze:
the mytouch has been out much longer than the Vibrant, what in your mind makes you think it should get an update after the Vibrant?

I swear people on the interwebs have no common sense at times.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
ROFLMAO, I was gonna tell him the exact same thing but then.... that's his problem. :D
[Vibrant General] lexluthor:
I don't see why you don't think that's a possible conclusion when the Droid, Droid X and Incredible all came out after the MyTouch3G and all have already received 2.2 updates.

Samsung really has no excuse to have fallen possibly 3 months behind HTC and Motorola in development of 2.2.
[Vibrant General] PaiPiePia:
Following that logic, they have no reason to update you to 2.2? No? It wasn't part of the sales agreement. Yes, it will makes us all angry and swear to never buy another Samsung product again, but Froyo on those devices comes from the Good Will of HTC and Motorola which are different company than say Samsung.
[Vibrant General] sroach23:
the droid took forever to get 2.1. it was released in november last year and took damn near till may to get the update out.
[Vibrant General] trashcan:
you'll be even more sad when Samsung is doing the same...after the phone been out for a year then cook you froyo.
[Vibrant General] augustorm:
I just got a msg on my phone that is new...icon i dont recognize...so i got curious...clicked on the software update in settings...and dint get the usual "no firmware" response. Instead i got this..."DM initialisation is not ready...Check network or sim card"...my wifi is on...so I think that is the problem...but im in no hurry...im rooted and have a custom rom....I still hav to wait for the devs to put out new rom based on the froyo that i believe is now out.

peace
[Vibrant General] KerryG:
Sorry OP but the fact is that a Samsung sales rep is not going to have insider information that wouldn't have already have found its way into the public. Samsung is far more likely to tweet a date than they are to have regional sales spokeholes getting the information first. What you don't know is where that guy got his info...was someone else speculating? Was it a guess? The issue is that what some rep says may or not be based on any provable, factual data. Just because you can call the store and confirm that yes indeed a Samsung rep said something still does not mean it is based on any legitimate information.
[Droid 2 General] louplou:
Hi! Does anyone know how to search over email and exchange on the Droid 2 email client? I can't seem to figure it out, but I know it can be done on Droid Incredible. Thanks for your help!

[Droid X General] smalltownbird:
My rom manager only has extras in it. I've downloaded both regular and premium and it is still empty under download rom. What is wrong with it?
[Droid X General] ViciousCircle:
Have you installed the bootstrapper, then flashed the clockwork recovery? Once I did that, all started showing properly in RM for me.
[Droid X General] smalltownbird:
I have both installed. I've already flashed a few roms and themes. I just keep seeing reference to things in Rom manager and I see nothing in there.

[About XDA developers] bawaji:
I don't see the HTC Imagio (Whitestone) forums listed any more on the main forums page. Have they been removed on purpose or is it just a glitch? Hope they are restored soon. Thanks!

I can still access it directly here though so it doesn't look like the pages have been removed.

[Fascinate General] teeharding:
Hey guys I have been looking all over the web to find a way to get my fascinate completely back to stock. Here is the story...

Removed tons of verizon crap and had a perfectly great phone for about three weeks. I did a data wipe/factory reset to install voodoo kernel and everything worked. I installed a rom (which I dont blame) and my phone boots to the touch wiz force close loop. I would imagine it is trying to load crap I have removed. I can boot into clockwork, but adb does not recognize at this point. I load my backups buy I dont have one with stock apps. Is it possible to find a flashable stock kernel/rom/everything. Im fine with re-rooting I just cant figure this out.

also I found a system dump. Can someone give me the command to push that to sd card just in case I get adb going again.

Please help. Thanks
[Fascinate General] billybob817:
I can't post the URL because this forum prevents new users from posting URLs..

But try to google the phrase "force close he-double-hockey-sticks" and you should see a thread over on android central that has a solution for you.
[Fascinate General] teeharding:
Thanks ill check that out after work. I have managed to get the phone operational, but I can not use apps. Every single app FCs. I also can't download from the market. I believe it has somehing to do with voodoo not letting me write to the system memory. I dunno....I just want to get back to stock, reroot, and freeze apps instead of uninstalling.
