Seems like a modified battery door cover could be added to add the contacts for the battery. Not so easy for the microusb.

Thanks for all your kind words..

I am really enjoying this crafting stuff. Good time killer.. besides Medal of Honor :D

the g2 is slightly longer at 4.7 inches to the torches 4.37. I saw those docs cheap on ebay so I had to check for myself.
[Android Apps and Games] jakewoodblues:
I'm looking for an app for my Evo. I use the phone as a music player and when I make a phone call with bluetooth, I get the music full volume in my ear and I can't hear the phone's prompts. I'm looking for an app that will mute the music when I press the voice dial on the bluetooth. And then restore the volume when I disconnect the call.

Anything like that out there?
[Android Apps and Games] GodsMoon:
Bluetooth Volume

I created an app that might help. Its called Bluetooth Volume.

It adjusts the volume when you connect and disconnect a Bluetooth device.

It sounds like you want something that that changes the volume when a call happens instead of a Bluetooth device connects. I'll consider adding that feature.
[Vibrant General] DarkAgent:
Are the return and home keys more dim than the search and menu keys for anyone else? It is cery subtle and not really a big deal but I am curious if the same is happening for others.

I just noticed this recently so I am not sure if it came that way when I got my phone or if it is a side effect of using the keys (I usr the return and home keys a lot more than the other two).
[Epic 4G General] badbeats:
I just switched the launcher pro.

I am trying to get the task manager icon on the home screen. I know in touchwiz it was simple.

I just cannot find the icon.

thank you for the help
[Epic 4G General] churro7:
its not available in launcher pro

only touchwiz

its a widget technically
[Epic 4G General] badbeats:
ok but if I hold the home screen app, then i can bring it up. So there must be a way to get the icon on my screen. I mean its the task manager for android it must be their
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Yes, you can get to the app by holding the Home softkey, but the widget your talking about is part of TouchWiz and can not be used within other launchers. Unless one of the Dev's can figure out a way to mod it.;)
[Epic 4G General] lilladyo2cute:
to get as a widget long press empty space and select shortcut, then select activities, then task manager and select the first one. you can also get it as a short cut in the doc tray at bottom (the 4 icons next to the app drawer button) by long pressing and selecting change shortcut, select activities, scroll down to and select task manager, and select the first one. icon isn't the same but takes you to the same place ur trying to get to. this is the only way i have figured out so far.
[Epic 4G General] badbeats:
thank you!!!
[HTC Aria General] Maroon Mushroom:
I tried to flash my first ROM (through clockwork at least, I'm used to using Odin) and it was the Cyanogen, latest version. I followed all of the directions, I flashed clockwork using the Linux live CD, rooted it completey. I put the Cyanogen zip on my SD card, rebooted into clockwork, did a factory reset, cleared cache, then tried to install the update. Part way through the install (after the welcome to Cyanogen) I get "assert failed: write_raw_image" error code 7.

It's driving me insane.
[HTC Aria General] Maroon Mushroom:
I just tried for the 3rd time, wiping my Dalvik cache, no difference. Installation aborts because of "Status 7"
[HTC Aria General] eljefe27:
Is your usb unplugged?

What rom are u flashing?
[HTC Aria General] Maroon Mushroom:
I tried both the Liberated ROM and the latest Cyanogen ROM. I do have it fixed now though. Instead of booting into clockwork from plugging it in, I just got the app from the market, reflashed Clockwork recovery, and then flashed Cyanogen + google apps without a problem.

Hope this helps anyone else that has the same issue in the future.
[HTC Aria General] eljefe27:
U must be unplugged and to boot inro clockwork hold volume down key then press power
[HTC Aria General] attn1:
How are you starting clockwork? Unplug the USB cord, power down, and start it by holding volume down and then press power - wait for diags to complete - the select recovery.

Never - EVER - start clockwork with the USB cord plugged in.

If that fails, check the MD5 sum on the file you you are flashing against the reported md5 on the site you pulled it from.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
I dont know why but my market downloads are extremly slow, everything else is fine tho. Lets say im downloading google voice, it will jump to 33% but than ill go extremly slow for about an hour untill it downloads and sometimes it will even fail. Is there a possible fix for this? Thx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ladiesgod:
I'm having the SAME exact issue. A few people here have offered advice which didn't work for me, but mostly I'm ignored because it seems to be "my problem" since not enough people seem to be having this issue.

If I flash back to stock using ODIN market downloads are snappy again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a3plew:
Try clearing market data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
Clearing data didnt work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Is this happening on 3g or wifi connection?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newter55:
I have seen this issue..i have three captivates all running cog5.5 and only one seems to have occasional problem with market...not sure exactly what causes problem but toggling wifi, clearing cache or rebooting seems to correct it

I am not patient so I don't wait an hour for a download....if it does not work I just try the above in that order and usually one of the first two works but reboot always fixes
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
It happens in 3g and its all the time, each and every single download. In wifi its normal and snappy. I know its not my network coz web is fast and everything. Rebooting doesnt work too, clearing market data too so what else could I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Just because your browser experience is good does not in and of itself completely eliminate your 3g connection a being the cause. One thing to try is attempting market downloads from a few different locations - this would help eliminate your data connection if your experience was the same at different locations.

I have a few more questions. have you flashed any custom roms? if you have flashed did you restore apps and data with TiB? Are you running any lag fixes? Are you using any task killers?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
The downloads are the same everywhere and with browsing its faster than the iphone 4 I even compared them. Im runing the cognition 5 beta I think, I never restored anything and never screwed with the one click lag fix
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Settings» About Phone - the build number at the bottom wil tell you which version of cog you are running.

When you say the market is slow everywhere - does it always everywhere jump out to a certain percentage than drop off to a slow crawl? And when you say everywhere - how many different locations and how far apart were they?

When you cleared the market data cache did you force close the market app first before clearing the cache?

And are you using any task killers?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
Im actually runining cognition beta4, and im using the defult tast menager that came with the rom. Its all over the place, I could be 30 miles away from home and the downloads speed for market are slow. Usally it jumps to 14% or 33% and than just slows down like crazy and goes by 1%
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
It sounds like something is corrupted that market uses on your phone that is causing your network connection to crash while downloading. If the following does not clear it up you may need to reflash cog

go settings» wireless and network and put your phone into flight mode.

Then go settings» applications» manage applications - go to the "All" tab - scroll down and select the market app - here select force stop - then select clear data.

Then reboot your phone.

Turn off flight mode and retry your market.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mac208x:
Ok so I did what you told me, with no results. Still the same. How would I flash to beta 5 cognition? Can I just install it using rom menager and install it over the version I have now? Also how would I do it without losing anything. Also thank you for trying to help me!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Unless you go through the kernel swapping steps rom manager will not work with COG 2.2b4. Secondly - to be sure and get rid of what ever is causing your problem you wil be better off doing doing a full wipe anyway.

I use google contacts (www.google.com/contacts) and google colander (www.google.com/calendar) and then sync my phone with those each time I am done flashing. I move any pics, movies, and documents I want to save to my external sd card - and then I remove my external sd card for the flashing process (i also keep a backup copy of all these things on my pc). Any apps can be re downloaded from the market even the paid ones as they are linked to your google account.
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Offer:

I've got a $30.00 PayPal for someone with decent rep here to walk me through the update.

History:

This is a new virgin phone, exchanged today

. (Sun) The OTA killed my previous phone and I was unable, for whatever reason, to restore nandroid, backup, nada. Until this morning, that was the best phone I've ever had because of this forum and esp the Tips & Tricks thread.

It had: Root, Rom Manager, Titanium Backup, Ryan's OCLF, Autostarts, and MOBILE AP wireless tethering app. (This one is a must for me.)

What I want:

I want the JI6 update installed and the above programs re-installed per the Tips thread... In whatever order you think is best. We verify these things work and I send money immediately. My word is good. (I can re-install my 40 odd apps afterward on my own time.

Background:

I have followed the Tips thread instructions for ODIN. (Open ODIN, press vol up & dn, plug in wire, see COM msg in box, (debug on) mount phone, Pit>...512, PDA>...JI6, START. ..... Nothing! 2 seconds later the message box says something like {All threads complete. 0 succeeded, 0 failed>}

Bottom line:

I've read posts for hours but since I don't really know what I'm doing well, I am also unable to sift through all the advice figuring out which poster's setup is like mine. At this point, I just want it done right.

I will edit this post when it's done. Thanks for reading.

[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
I'm in the same boat, as far as trying to use Odin. Broken phone, nothing working for me.

So, you took your phone to the store, told them you applied the update and now you're stuck on the vibrant screen, and they just gave you a new one right then and there?
[Vibrant General] adm1jtg:
you can drop me a pm and i can try and get you through it. Wont take your money though. Make sure you have odin 1.3 downloaded and the odin flash file for JI6 downloaded. If you can get adb working you get bonus points.

Are you hardware locked? if so you need to download the patch for it also found on here. If not should be easy to get ya up and running with the above mentioned things in place.

If I went to fast or confused you just say so in the pm and we can go as slow or as fast as you need.
[Vibrant General] cybertang:
there is alot of us who had bricked our own phones who can help you on this issue i helped someone just the other day unbrick his phone

pm either of us we dont mind helping
[Vibrant General] jumaaneface:
Im pretty sure i know what u are doing wrong man. pm me and i can help u out if u havent already
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
I gave up on unbricking.

No Trunk, It was more of an escalation from a gentle request (at which point they told me "2 weeks & we'll mail it to ya' ".:mad:) through several layers of increasing... uhhh... 'amplitude', ("Okay, We'll do priority mail; 3 or 4 days.":mad:) culminating in chaining the duct taped Tmo rep's feet to the back of my hog for a quick ride up the street. ("I think we have one in the back, let me check...") :)

Cyber, your posted phone 'resume' sig is the scariest thing I've ever seen. (Except for my ex.) Does that thing have photon torpedoes too? Krap!

Okay, just kidding 'bout all that. Thank you guys for responding. Will send PMs tomorrow. (1 more brick & I'm gonna need mortar...) About 3-4 pm pacific time. Again, thanks.

I had root but no roms, no adb, no hardware unlock. I'm not a sophisticated power user. I loved it the way it was, except for the GPS/compass thing. It was fast (with the lagfix) and tethered wirelessly & easy w/ the Mobile AP, & I had some control over the running programs.
[Vibrant General] boystuff:
phone power off. (remove battery if you think it will help)

ok had my phone brick today took about an hour of googling, reading, downloading etc to get it to work again

Load odin

plug phone into USB (power off mind you) press and hold both volume keys at once, plug into PC, this "should boot you into download mode ( android guy with shovel screens says DOWNLOADING! once it loads into download mode you should see some Com info at the top left of odin, thats your cue to load the PDA and PIt file. check PDA box press start, and wait, installation should take about 5 mins
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
I was in motion with ODIN finally, when I accidentally pulled the USB cord out of my laptop. Now, all I get when trying to get in download mode is a graphic of a phone, a yellow triangle with exclamation mark, and a computer.

Holy crap this is a learning experience. Anyone know what do do?
[Vibrant General] ertjep:
There is a patch to correct the hardware lock? Please provide a link.

Thanks

Edit Just found the link, hxxp://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=802763 (replace the xx's with tt), and can't wait to fix my phone.
[Vibrant General] adm1jtg:
Ok here is your next step by step. First take a deep breath you CAN definitely recover this....

you need to hold down the up/down volume and the power button. The yellow triangle image will go dark and come back. You need to wait till after it goes dark twice then when the image shows up for the third time release the volume side. wait about 5 seconds and release the power. Should jump you back into download so make sure your odin is up and ready
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Awesome. Thank you so much. What a debacle. I'm stock again. Or at least, it looks like stock again. Now, to get the OTA update and hopefully this time it won't break my phone. I have no idea why it broke the last time I tried it.

My phone was so personalized before, I feel lost, like this is someone else's phone.
[Vibrant General] adm1jtg:
Stupid question... Why not just odin the official JI6 file that's posted and be done with it. Even better forget the JI6 and look at one of the awesome roms by eugene or bionix as they both use JI6 as their base?
[Vibrant General] n2ishun:
Dude....where in OC are ya ?

I'm in Seal Beach,if you don't get it fixed before your stated 4pm pst time...gimme a holler and I'll even bring my laptop and cable.

Save the 30$, but you're buying the beers :)
[Vibrant General] trunkstar1:
Not sure if that was for me or not, but I don't even know what JI6 is... flashing stock was the first time I ever Odin'd anything before.
[Vibrant General] aczarney:
I don't have much of a rep here, but here's how I did things. I installed OCLF from the market, and rooted (and only rooted). Then I installed ROM manager and did a nandroid (and I did one after each change I made to my phone as well). Then I updated to JI6 through odin. After that, I gave myself MobileAP. Then (because I was hardware locked), I used odin to fix that. As far as I know, you can install everything else you got from the market from there (all root apps not already installed included). I can't really tell you how that lag fix from OCLF works with JI6, as I never actually used that part of the app (I only used it to root).

As a side note, you may get an error with odin if you aren't in download mode (but you may still get a com message). For a sure fire way to get into download mode, open odin, and then plug in your phone (completely booted). Use the adb command "adb reboot download" and you'll be in download mode and ready to use odin. Also, if you mess up, as long as you can get into download mode, you can use odin to flash back to how your phone originally shipped.
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Update

Hey guys,

I HAVE JI6!!!

I'm the OP & I just logged on to send the PMs to be rescued. I saw the mini-kies method of installing JI6, tried it, and it worked. I'm re-rooted, oclf'ed, clockworked, & have re-installed many apps.

The MOBILE AP seems to be my last major hurdle. I forgot how I did it last time but it worked great! Now the instructions I think are different??? I don't remember any "flashing" with CW though. I've never flashed anything. I've read every post HERE but I'm gunshy now. Is there a "for dummies" way to do this?

Also, I have lost my Haptic feedback. It seems to be set correctly, but it's just not there. Even when I adjust the intensity up to full, nada. It may have happened after the OCLF install, or playing with Swype, not 100% sure. It definatelt was working an hour ago... Any ideas on this? Thanks.

Thanks for the "PM me" responses. You guys are slowly curing my ignorance. (very slowly...)
[Vibrant General] hellcatrydr:
Member character...

Yep. The Brickmaster is back. After a 3 day long recovery process from a new phone, I had somehow done it again...:(

This is to say thanks to the multiple members who offered personal help

but in particular, to the one who gave it.

After a PM, this man called me back and for 2 straight hours on a Friday night, with no request for, or guarantee of payment, patiently led me through the technicalities of an Odin recovery. Somehow, he fixed my phone. And I got a little more education.

During the course of this call, it turned out he is an Iraq war veteran with a new baby who is re-enlisting in the military to serve his country even more! Thank you so much for your help, and my gratitude for your service to our country.

As for me, being a natural born electronics genius is rough.:( Last night I elevated the art of

brickification

to a new high. (2 clicks gentlemen. Beat that!!!) The poison pill was OCLF, then Voodoo, BTW.

EDIT: Btw, your HTC collection is beyond impressive. 0-0
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Yeah it should be there by default... Maybe try a reflash of the rom? It should definitely be in the rom, but if it's not in the list when you longpress and click add a widget, it's probably just a bad flash
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] newsoundwave:
Guess I'll try that for now...

There's nothing wrong with my method though, right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Leukay:
Well, your method should just be to flash the rom and see the widget on the home screen, and if it's not already there, try to add it. If it's not in the list of widgets, then there's something wrong. Try a reflash and lemme know what happens

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
That is easy. What boot loader are you using? If it is an engineering boot, like the one Needed for cyanogenmod, it will always say s-off. Just flash s-on a few times and then use the ruu. Boot into boot loader after to make sure s is on. Should Be as simple as that.
