restarting doesn't work, re-running Unrevoked doesn't work. I don't know what else to do. Am I just app-less now?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MercuryTangent:
It happens. Sometimes it takes a few hours to go back to normal, at least in my experience. Is it working for you yet?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donnie_darko:
I encountered a problem similar to this with my Evo. Basically the card stopped working and said I need to format it, but then it wouldn't let me actually format it. I contacted HTC and apparently they had a "bad batch" of the cards and they'll replace it for free, when they have some in stock. My advice would be to contact HTC or Sprint.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amy7:
Not working yet. But one thing I forgot about is that after I rooted it I also installed "Choose install" from the Market and set the default to the storage card. I wonder if I should try and unroot my phone. I'm stuck there to because if I understand things right I would have to access my sd card to load a new zip file on it in order to unroot. My pc will no longer let me browse my device.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amy7:
Thanks for the tip. That could be why I can no longer browse the device from my pc. I will give that a shot. Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aerodynamix:
You will need access to an SD card to unroot. My advice would be to either buy another one or just borrow a friend's or something. Why do you want to unroot anyways?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amy7:
I don't really want to, I just thought I would have to do that to try and go back to "stock" or if I'm using the word right, back to the way it was when I got it. I thought it might be my last resort to fixing it. I would still re-root again so I can try and figure out how to get rid of all of sprints bloatware.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Amy7:
Just an update - I bought me a new sd card from buy.com, a 16 gb for about $30. It fixed the problem for a little bit. I started installing my apps, got a good amount of them on there and it happened again! I'm starting to wonder if you just can't install very many apps for this phone or by some odd coincidence I got a 2nd bad storage card????. Weird. I might start a new thread for this but thanks for all you who participated. You rock!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mmmtacos:
when it's stuck on install can you go to your manage applications option in settings and see if they're all stuck on 'computing' too?

Because this sounds all too familiar.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
I have the same issue (seems to have started after I started using modinstallocation). About one in ten times I'm able to get my sd card apps back after battery pulls and multiple reboots, but not this time. When I go to manage apps, all the SD card apps are 'computing'.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] greyopaque:
i got mine all back today. I wiped the Dalvic cache from clockwork mod, and everything came back after a reboot about 5 minutes later.

Install Instructions

:

*flashable zip in post 6

You can change the name you want displayed under your icon by opening autorun.inf in any text editor and changing the 'label=' value.

You may have issues viewing the icon or renaming the drive if you don't unmount then remount after first 'install'.

If you want to install both of these (at separate times, of course) I highly recommend that you rename the 'icon' and 'label' values in autorun.inf as well as the .ico file or you may get a black icon where a white should be or vice versa.

:cool:
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] SXUsr:
Thanks, looks great!
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Nimche:
Good Idea, thank you for sharing.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Gadgetz:
This is SO not noob friendly:o

I download the zip file (by default goes to sdcard/downloads)

I attached my phone to my comp and mounted my sdcard, I think....I selected "turn on usb storage" is that mounting my sdcard?

Here's where I get lost, you said "and open to the root"....please clarify.

First problem is I don't have any option that says "mount sdcard" in the pull down menu once you connect the phone to the pc, when I pull down that menu it says "USB Debugging connected" and "USB connected, select to copoy files to/from your computer." When I select that option, the contents of my sdcard automatically pop up in a window on my pc, I can't get to the root of my sdcard on my comp. Opening Root Explorer and trying to access my sdcard results in an error that says "sdcard is not currently mounted" and won't allow access. I then went to settings/storage to see if I could mount my sdcard that way but the option was greyed out, it was as if I didn't even have an sdcard in my phone as none of the other sdcard info was populated either.

I then ejected my device from my pc and turned off usb storage, went back to settings/storage, and my sdcard was recognized and the "unmount sdcard" option was active, making me think that when the phone recognizes my sdcard, that means it's mounted. Also making me think that in your directions you mean "turn on usb storage" not "mount sdcard".

How do you gain root access via PC? The best I could do was see everything stored on the sdcard.

When you unzip the zip, you have a folder that contains the 2 files, are we supposed to copy/paste those files somewhere or can we just put the whole folder where it needs to be?

Please advise
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Shadow Xs:
I believe that means the root of the SDcard.

e.g. C:/Computer/sdcard
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
This^

I'll make a couple of flashable zips... This was pre-xrecovery!

Seems so long ago, but it was less than a year.... :p

*Edit- Attached
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Gadgetz:
That wasn't my only question, but the rest is irrelevant now thanks to the flashable zips ;)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Gadgetz:
Still doesnt work :(
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
Does it flash?

You have to turn usb storage on to see it, not just connect via usb.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] creage:
Give it up guys, these icons will not work on GB, since for security reasons Android deletes all autorun.inf files from SD card each time it is mounted. I've tried many options, like making it readonly, system etc., still no luck - file gets deleted.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] AyDee:
Wow. I'm an idiot lol. :p

I never mount my card to PC anymore, I just push things to my card with adb/X10Mod Tool or throw it in Dropbox. Sorry for the runaround.:o:rolleyes:

*Edited 1st post
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] sahibunlimited:
On GB the autorun file disappers after reconnect...
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Gadgetz:
Yeah it flashed fine but when I turned on usb storage and checked my sdcard for the files, only the icon file was present. Pretty much confirming the other guys post. Oh well, it was worth a shot.
[Android Apps and Games] typhoone:
Is there any way to turn off the tip pop up in swype? Ive looked through the settings. But couldn't find anything.
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
I have a Motorola S9 bluetooth headset which worked perfectly with my blackberry 8900. I'd have the phone in my pocket, go to the gym and listen to music, it would work great.

But on my Nexus one, ever since I got it in Febuary, any rom i've ever been on (enomther, cyanogen), the audio skips repeatedly if I don't keep the phone like half a foot away from the headset (which is impossible unless I strap the phone to my upper back or something). It will cut out for 1-10 seconds and then return for a second and then go out again, and then be steady for 20 seconds and then do it again, it's very random but VERY frequent..I've never been able to go a full minute without skipping.

I've also had to have my nexus one replaced at one point, and this was a problem on both models, so I don't think I just got 2 defective nexus ones in a row.

Also I have paired the S9 bluetooth with my PS3 and again with the blackberry and it works perfectly with both.

Is there any reason or does the nexus one just have a weak bluetooth reciever?
[Nexus One General] NexusDro:
I'm using the Sony Ericsson MW600 bluetooth headset and I found that the bluetooth range is better than my laptop. Audio doesn't skip even if I am ~10 m way.
[Nexus One General] VaKo:
I have some Sony ones (the neckband BT ones, not sure of the model) and they only seem to skip if there is heavy EM interference, or if the battery is low and there is something in the way. This was the same with a Nokia E71 (which IMHO had the best radios on a handset I've used), so I think its a headset problem rather than a phone problem. But saying that, I primarly use this combo with the phone in the chest pocket of an ACU jacket, so it only has about 30cm to travel.
[Nexus One General] danger-rat:
I use my Nexus with the S9, and it works great. I often leave the phone playing on my desk at work, while I got to the printer etc. No probs, until about 40 foot away...
[Nexus One General] wakeborder556:
Compared to my old iPhone i found it was a little weaker too.
[Nexus One General] hubono:
I think you have a second defective unit. My first n1 had the same problem. Since the n1 share the wifi and bluetooth on the same chip, you should notice also some weakness in the wireless signal as well. At least that is what I found.

I would never get full bars on my wireless even standing next to the router. The bluetooth was worse, I couldn't keep my phone more than an arms length to get the bluetooth working.

I returned it and got a replacement

Hope this helps
[Nexus One General] ksc6000:
Well I don't have problems with weak wifi signal. I can be pretty far from the wifi and get great signal. Also for voice calls the plantronics explorer Bluetooth headset I use works great. Its just the a2dp streaming on the s9 that are giving me problems.
[Nexus One General] liqn7:
Have you tried turning Wi-fi off while using the BT for streaming?
[Nexus One General] wasdvd:
Blue tooth dropouts- sometimes fix

On my N1, both a Jawbone Icon and a Samsung headset will have fluctuating media sound frequently. The sound will vary in volume or skipping up to once a second, giving a very unpleasing experience. The distance to the phone can be one foot or 15 feet with the same results.

I finally correlated this to either turning on or connecting the headset after the media had begun playing, or coming back into range while the media was already playing.

I found that I could get clear sound by exiting the media, then restarting the media while the headset was already connected.

I have trouble also with going out of range, then returning into range, but the media connection not restoring, just the phone connection.
[Nexus One General] stefan52a:
Solutions I found for this on the web were:

- set master=true in /system/etc/bluetooth/audio.conf (worked for me)

possibly also:

- turn off wifi

- carry bluetooth device and nexus on same side of your body

- use bluetooth only for media (not phone)
[Captivate Accessories] Jeepsdaddy:
I cannot stand the installation procedure needed for the screen protectors. Every single time: I use the "provided micro fiber" cloth to remove dirt and lint and the apply. EVERY TIME I am left with tiny lint,, micro specs of air dust etc. between the film and the screen, and a small little bubble here and there. It drives me crazy. Call me obsessive compulsive but it take me about 3 screen protectors until I finally get it right. Anyone aware of any screen protection technology that will help me avoid this outcome?
[Captivate Accessories] ewingr:
I don't, but I did read that if you apply it in the bathroom after running hot water and steaming it up real good that it will help that problem a lot. I plan to try that when I get my first screen protector this week.
[Captivate Accessories] JPS81:
Hard type screen protectors will solve your bubble issues. Martin Fields screen protectors is pretty much impossible to have bubbles stuck inside it.

However it won't solve your dust problem. If anything, it's much easier to see dirt and other imperfections stuck between the screen and a Martin Field protector.
[Captivate Accessories] Hydrocharged:
Or you could try one of the crystal screen protectors from boxwave. I had your problem too with my first 2 screen protectors, and it seemed that I couldn't just get them on there without a problem. With this one from boxwave, I just wiped it off with the provided micro-fiber cloth and used the bubble-elimination card to remove any possible bubbles under the screen!

[Captivate Accessories] 88EVGAFTW:
Get the ones from ATT. I have tried Bodyguardz, Zagg, Stealth Guards, and some generic BS from eBay. All of those were the type you apply with the solution (and have that dreaded orange peel look) and you have to wait for it to "cure" and it is extremely easy to get bubbles stuck in them.

The ones from ATT on the other hand, are completely smooth and truly invisible. They are a stiffer material and you do not need application solution. I am very happy with them and for 9.99 you get 3 of them. If you mess one up by getting some lint on it or whatever, you can just wash it with soapy water and spray it down with some water+baby soap and re apply it that way. Very easy to get the air bubbles out that are caused by using the solution. Again, they can be installed with no solution at all and if done carefully, it should look like nothing was ever installed on the phone ;)

http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...038&q_sku=sku4770252&q_manufacturer=&q_model=

I got them from a local store for 7$ since I got a discount. Those above ^^ from BoxWave seem extremely over priced. For 10$ you can't go wrong with the ones from ATT.
[Captivate Accessories] vietn95:
I am using clarivue not even a single dust, lint, inside. It's the quick and easy 3 layer type screen protectors.

Here's a tip ... go to the bathroom and turn on hot water on sink or whatever to create humidity that would trap the dust or w/e in the air ... and it makes this easier to apply.
[Captivate Accessories] Siks:
I haven't had a screen protector on my Vibrant in almost 2 months now & even with constantly putting it in my pocket with my keys, dropping it once onto my driveway & even fumbling it into bouncing off a brick wall one time I have yet to scratch my screen. The rest of the phone is dented & scratched but the screen is still beautiful. :-)
[Captivate Accessories] TheYar:
+1

I had my iPod Touch for years, in and out of pockets with keys and pocket-knives and cell phones, dropped countless times, two little kids messing with it all the time, accidentally sliding it face-down across surfaces, and so on. Never used a screen protector, never got a single blemish or scratch. And that was basically plain old arsenic-free glass. The Captivate is made with Corning's high-tech Gorilla Glass.

Sure, either could still scratch or break. But it's like getting a car with an expensive paintjob, and then covering the whole thing in Scotch tape so it won't get scratched. You end up with something that looks god-awful 100% of the time, because you're afraid something might happen to it that would affect how it looks. Pretty much any time someone hands me their smartphone or DS, it is a scratched, smudgy, dusty mess because of some $40 screen cover they have on there. I always try to point out that it seems odd to make your screen look terrible on purpose just because you're afraid of you might make it look terrible on accident. I used one good one once, that you couldn't even tell was there, but the first time I took it on a flight it turned into smears of rainbows.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
use a piece of clear packing tape to remove the dust. running the shower helps bring dust down but there will be some lint from the cloth. dont lean over it, a lot of "dust" is dry dead skin or dandruff so if you have dry skin or dry scalp dust will fall on it. also stop being so anal.
[Captivate Accessories] cappysw10:

I don't need no stinkin' screen protector. I mean unless I know my phone is going to be dragged across macadam but then a screen protector won't help, will it.
[Captivate Accessories] magnumrt562:
Gorilla Glass... Screen Protector unnecessary... I have always used a screen protector too on previous phones but the screen on this phone is rugged.
[Captivate Accessories] Hydrocharged:
I used to be the same way as you guys, "I don't need a screen protector because it's been through everything and still works perfectly!!" Yet, one day I found a scratch on my screen that I have no idea whatsoever where it came from. So, I got this Boxwave ClearTouch Crystal screen protector, and you literally cannot tell it is on there. It feels just like the glass (con for me actually, I prefer a paper kind of feel) and doesn't scratch easily at all. Plus, I installed it in a dusty room and there was no lint or anything else under the screen. It even comes with a thick card to remove bubbles once it has been applied. So, if you're even slighty, .000001% scared of getting lint trapped underneath the screen, go with Boxwave. I vouch for its clarity and ease of installation. Also, my screen is just as sensitive as before, as I've tried BARELY touching the screen and it still would pick up a touch.

And, in the rare event that you did get dust glued to the screen, it is completely washable and rewashable, so it is a little expensive, but well, well worth it.

Oh, and there is no adhesive whatsoever, not even water is needed. Just peel and go.
[Captivate Accessories] iamamp3pimp:
i listened to this

totally terrible advice. not that i care but i have about 20 microscratches and a couple decent sized ones....
[Captivate Accessories] NOFSBIGE:
it takes time to learn how to put screen protectors on... I have probably put 500 or so on all different types of phones you just wipe it clean tilt it so that you can make sure there are no dust particles... then you pull the backing off of the protector a few inches apply to the designated area and take a credit card and follow the rest of the protector down... works everytime
[Captivate Accessories] DAGr8:
I second this . there is no such thing as 'unscratchable glass' some very expensive sunglasses use to have that warranty , guess what , they dont anymore ...

although I have to say the argument about HAVING YOUR PHONE LOOK UGLY JUST IN CASE SOME ACCIDENT CAN HAPPEN TO MAKE UGLY made me laugh , I d never have a phone without one my advice :

Just buy a few cheap ones on eBay and master the trick when your bored , after 3 times it should be installed perfectly , I also noticed if you have light scratches already on it , the screen protector hides them so thats a bonus
[Captivate Accessories] Reefermattness:
Ive tried SO many screen protectors. The only one I have been happy with so far (and VERY happy at that) is Realook. They are SUPER clear, thin, and very hard. You do not lose the glassy feel or the crisp vivid look on the screen. Ive put them on a few phones now, a few Vibrants and a Mytouch Slide 3g (my gf didnt even know i had put it on there till i told her). Its $10 for 2 protectors and I HIGHLY recommend them.

[Captivate Accessories] o0beaner:
I have a tiny little chip right in the middle of my screen on my Captivate about a cm underneath the AT&T logo. It has taken less abuse than yours, and it even has a screen protector on it. It looks like the kind of chip you would get if a piece of gravel hit your windshield a little too hard.

Your mileage may vary.
[Captivate Accessories] HBeezy:
Thanks for the info on the Boxwave screen protector, I've been wandering if it's as good as it looks.
[Captivate Accessories] loraque:
In the malls near me now, there are little carts (you know those areas of the mall, where the cart/carny people are) that have people with small steady hands...

Invisible Shield it is called. They give you a lifetime warranty on the cover. They put it on. They will even cover your entire phone if you want (the back of the Captivate I am thinking of getting covered to avoid scratches on the metal back), and if you get a replacement phone for some reason, you only pay a portion of the price (material only) and they put it on again.

They use some sort of silicon liquid (snake oil... was probably just water) to aid in putting it on, and mine is perfect. Had a couple bubbles with the liquid still in it, but true to their word, it evaporated (through the protector) and it was perfect the next morning.

I jumped at this opportunity after totally FAILING at putting on a protector on my Tilt 2 (two packs of 3). On that phone, I took an exacto knife to cut off the excess I was so bad at it. I gladly paid $20 to have someone else do it and give me a warranty on it.

Invisible Shield. Check out your local mall.

Spent 3 months with the AT&T Screen Protector.

Going on 1 month without one.

Never going back.
[Captivate Accessories] Reefermattness:
Sure they will put one of the worst possible screen protectors on for you! I guess technically it does protect your phone. If you like yellow, uneven, sticky material covering your whole phone then definitely go to the mall and spend money to ugly up one of the nicest phones there is.

I'm telling you guys I've tried so many protectors. Zagg, ghost armor, etc. The hard crystal screenies like Realook for example is about 99.9% unnoticable when its on, and after using a GOOD screen protector ill never go back. :-)
[Captivate Accessories] loraque:
Can't say I notice any color changes... but you have me looking for them now.
[Captivate Accessories] Reefermattness:
When you take your screen protector off stick it on a white piece of paper. You'll notice.
[Captivate Accessories] votum:
Going to say i have been using my phone for several months in iraq and now aboit a month home without a protector on it. I have zero marks on the screen. I dont even worry about what pocket it goes in anymore. Its been dropped and worn on body armor. Its got some dings on the plastic housing but the screen is flawless...screen protectors like to cillect a lot of dust around the edges too...just go without
[Captivate Accessories] lasimo0:
I have to agree with the number of people above me... A screen protector is not necessary!

I bought the Captivate at release and removed a 3rd party screen protector i had on it after a week. My thought was, "scratches be damned, I want to see that beautiful screen." Luckily, I found out that we have gorilla glass (i think) on our screens, so it's not necessary at all. Also, the color/brightness difference is significant.

Drops, various pockets, keys, purses, laptop bag....none of them have resulted in a single scratch.
