[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdubdieslo:
I switched from T-Mo to ATT so I am on edge. I have been experiencing where who ever im talking with cannot hear me. It happens randomly no matter where I am, even in areas were my signal is -50dbm to -60dbm. My phone is rooted and i currently have radio 4.06 but have tried 5.xx. it doesn't matter the rom i use either. Is there any betther Radio to install that would help in this matter? I live in austin texas and the coverage here is really good, I had a mytouch unlocked on at&t and never had this issue with Edge. The only fix is to reboot the phone and call them back and they can hear me fine.

Thanks,
[Captivate General] Adaptive13:
Hi guys. I am trying to learn how to use the Terminal Emulator on the Captivate. This will save me from needing to adb into a shell to do simple things. However, I cannot figure out how to get the special keys to work.

For example, I would like to 'Escape'wq but cannot figure out how to use the escape key.

The special key is set to Vol.Down and the listing for escape is Vol.Down+1

However, trying this never seems to give me an escape, just a 1

Any help?
[Captivate General] tmusall:
In vi you can use ctrl-c to leave insert mode. Then type :wq to save and quit.
[Captivate General] Adaptive13:
Thanks. But I am having trouble using the CTR + something keyboard shortcuts. The volume down button does nit seem to be working.
[Captivate General] TMC_Sherpa:
Just using the vol-down is working as an escape for me with version 18 of the TE. So Vol-Down+: enables me to wq(bang).

Sherpa

PS Thanks for reminding me, I was having a heck of a time getting it to work with the earlier versions of the terminal so I haven't tried it in a while.

PPS.... Nah I don't want to start a vi vs emacs war. Besides I hate emacs :P
[Captivate General] Adaptive13:
Ok, out seems vol down + 1 allowed me to wq afterwords. Thanks for the help!
[Captivate General] terrigan:
Now only if we could implement tab completion in the shell.. :)
[Captivate General] tmusall:
It does. Just setup an initial command to launch 'busybox ash' then use ctrl-i to do tab completion. That's all there is too it.
[Captivate General] dnwhoop02:
Does anyone know how to "hit" escape in adb shell? I made the mistake of opening a file in vi through an adb shell today, and I tried everything I could think of to exit insert mode in order to quit vi. I finally had to open another shell and kill the vi process...
[Captivate General] Sulphur4724:
Eh!? :confused:
[Captivate General] behrouz:
It makes a lot of sense. In a way, its sort of a public beta. ATT only has so many testers who can find all the various bugs, so leaking an unreleased build to the public would be the best way to find them.
[Captivate General] n0r4d:
I can appreciate this theory. And im digging the built in wifi tether feature. That was my number one reason for rooting.
[Captivate General] boborone:
I've wondered this about many leaks. Don't think tether will be in final, just don't see the death star being that friendly.

[Captivate General] BigEHokie:
I'm no longer a customer of DirecTV's, but back in 2008 when I was, they were doing something that I thought was fantastic with some of their customer base on dbstalk.com. They were issuing beta releases of their STB software over their birds at particular times of the day (read midnight), allowing customers to be their testers for them. You could then log defects/issues in the appropriate threads on dbstalk, where they had eyes/ears following along to take action on those issues. The software updates were frequent and allowed the end users to not only see the latest and greatest software, but also to participate in weeding out the problems. These beta releases were accompanied with release notes, so the users knew what to look for and what to test. Participating users had to "sign" a waiver, but the software updates were usually reversible if something catastrophic happened.

It was awesome and I wish other companies could/would follow this model.
[Captivate General] boomerod:
Yes, abosolutely! But I don't think the leaks originate from AT&T; I think they originate from Samsung - who knows for sure. I think there are a few folks on XDA (DG, for instance) that benefit from these leaks and the resulting donations. Samsung benefits from a huge community of users testing their crappy software...I digress.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I doubt it was intentional - by samsung corporate - big corporations don't think that way. I think DG knows someone there and got an older developer build (it is about 2 weeks old).

I don't think samsung cares that much - they have not shutdown the samfirmwares site, and there are probably some individual developers that check things out here - but I doubt some VP of development said "lets leak the firmware and see what bugs they find"
[Captivate General] derek4484:
What is the samfirmwares site now? I have been unable to find it the last couple of weeks. What's the current address?
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
I still try to participate in the "Cutting Edge" Betas.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
From a technical perspective, it would make good sense. Release it to the enthusiast community and lurk in their forums looking for feedback. Even better would be to participate in the forums and actively solicit feedback and provide support. From a legal perspective, I would guess it poses some risks. Without some sort of EULA in place, Samsung and AT&T have no way to limit their liability. Maybe your contract with AT&T covers that but I am not sure.

So, if I had to guess, there are a handful of smart devs within the Samsung who see the value in getting feedback from a larger audience but it is completely unofficial and unsanctioned by the higher-ups at both AT&T and Samsung. So, intentional, yes. Sanctioned, no.
[HD2 General] allstar717:
Does CHT v2.0.0 work with Chucky Rom? Because it will not allow you to remove and older version of CHT (it is built into the ROM) when i intsall v2.0.0 it will constantly go to sleep mode.

Anybody else have this problem? Or solutions?

Your best bet is to ask in the Rom thread instead of starting a new thread

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evileric77:
I was looking for all the frequencies supported by the captivate but all I've been able to find are the specs listed gsmarena.com and this listing at Samsung's site.

http://ars.samsung.com/customer/usa...ID=2&PROD_SUB_ID=557&PROD_ID=558&AT_ID=282035

I vaguely remember that the phone didn't support a certain frequency that was listed on GSM Arena but I can't remember what it was =p

I also think it's funny that Samsung lists the Captivate as NOT having support for HSUPA lol

Anyone know ALL of the frequencies actually supported by this device's hardware? I'm not running stock (running Antim's kernel with HSUPA and voodoo).

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
i'am on 2.2.1 stock rooted though....now i believe i made the mistake of moving apps to SD BEFORE partitioning so now i have like a TON of apps on my SDcard and like 20mbs of internal storage LEFT but then i partitioned my SDcard -____- lol a FAIL ...so should i delete all of my 171+ apps and THEN Repartition ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
You could just use a partition manipulation app rather than repartitioning. I recently did this using gparted on my linux workstation. Not sure of any free windows apps that do the same. If you are not running linux, you can always use a bootable USB img to make the changes.

parted (gnu.org/software/parted/)

gparted frontend (gparted.sourceforge.net)

Here are some tools to make life easier when dealing with bootable USB images and windows.

linuxliveusb.com

unetbootin.sourceforge.net
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
hmmm alright ill give it a shot thanks i've got windows though not Linux
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
If you don't have partition magic or another app installed to change partitions around, just use either linuxliveusb.com or unetbootin.sourceforge.net to create a bootable usb key that will let you resize your partitions. They don't install anything or make any changes to your hard disks.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
question though bro if you go into the ROOT of a partitioned SDCARD how does it look? like is there a SPARE folder for the apps? if possible a screenshot?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
I'm too new to the forums to post real links, but below is a screenshot of gparted showing my nexus one. I opened gparted and went to view and checking "Device Information"

For my current partition layout, which is just 1 big partition, I see everything that I have saved to the SD card. My apps get installed on /sdcard/.android_secure

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
What distribution are you booting? There should be a menu with gparted listed. You could at least go to a console/terminal/xterm whatever and type in gparted.

Both tools for creating a usb stick should offer a gparted distro.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
well when i go into terminal and type in gparted i get this.....UNLESS im doing it wrong...
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
Which distro are you running? You should install the gpared distro on your usb stick or at least systemrescuecd. Both of those are guaranteed to have gparted. I'm not sure about the others.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] l0uisz:
where can i find those ??
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mattsalerno:
If you go to the links, they will tell you how to do it. It's not a complicated process.

Unetbootin gparted.sourceforge.net/liveusb.php

Download Unetbootin to help you to create this Live USB flash drive. Just run the program on MS windows, then you can follow the GUI to create the live. You will need the GParted live iso file in this method. PS. The boot menu created by Unetbootin is not exactly the same boot menu as the one created in choice 1. Therefore it's recommended to use the choice 1.

[EVO 4G General] landaile:
Maybe I am missing something?

For those saying Skype only works over WiFi, am I missing something? This is a direct quote from the Skype App "Free* Skype-to-Skype calls over 3G or WiFi"

I haven't tried making a call yet on 3G so are you saying that its not supported on the EVO over 3G? It does say its not supported on the Samsung Galaxy S, but no where says anything about EVO.

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xelaboy:
I'm 99% sure this isn't a failed rooting attempt.

My phone works fine *IF* I can get it to power on with the power cord. As soon as it comes unplugged it's anybody's guess as to how long it will stay on for.

After it powers off it won't turn on at all. I have to plug a power cord into it and wait for the green light to show up. (Sometimes takes minutes, sometimes takes days.)

Sometimes when it's plugged in and won't turn on if I hit the power button all the button lights come on for just as long as I press the button, I can push the power button over and over and all the buttons light up. But if I unplug it that too stops working.

When it started I had moved back from CM6 to 5.0.8.

I am on the 2.22.23.02 radio and have Rom manager with the clockwork mod recovery that it wants you to use.

I have tried multiple batteries this is not a battery issue

I'm hoping it's not a hardware problem.

Could it be the recovery or radio causing these issues? I'm afraid that if I try to reflash the radio it will power off in the middle of the flash process and really brick my phone.

Anyone have any other ideas or maybe has anyone seen this before?
