[Captivate General] danquirk2000:
I am currently running leaked version of 2.2 for my Captivate and the stock android camera app doesn't seem to work while on a voice call. I also encountered the same problem when I was running stock firmware out of the box. When I open the stock android camera during a voice call the app launched with a pop up message stating: Warning unable to start camera during call. Is this some restriction put in place from the carrier or the camera application?
[Captivate General] i have a leg:
i have had the same exact problem as you... there has litterly been thousands of times recently where i am talking to somebody on the phone, and then i have the sudden urge to take a picture, but havent been able too... hopefully somebody gets right on this pronto!

EDIT: okay ill admit, that was a crapload of sarcasm there... but who is in that big of a hurry to take a picture?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
yeah that through me off too when I got the phone, about the only thing the phone won't do during a call. but it was always that way.
[Captivate General] danquirk2000:
It is not about being in a hurry to take a picture it is about freedom to do what you want when you want with the device you purchased.
[Captivate General] tim1987:
works fine on any other android device. seems like a carrier or manufacturer limitation to me.
[Captivate General] i have a leg:
download vignette, or most likely any camera app other than the stock captivate app, works.. now you can drive while talking on the phone and taking pictures all at the same time
[Captivate General] danquirk2000:
But you cannot record in 720p. And the interface doesn't match the quality of the stock app.
[Captivate General] tim1987:
So that makes it seem like its absolutely the camera app itself. Why would this limit be placed? For driving like i have a leg suggested? Even if that was the intentent, who placed it? Samsung? AT&T? Does this same problem happen when using a non Captivate, Samsung created firmware?
[Captivate General] Dani897:
what you never had a conversation with someone and saw something that was interesting and wanted to send them a text/email with a picture while still on the phone? I honestly have tried it for that reason and was disappointed. I mean you can check texts and emails while talking as well as send them and surf the web and get directions, all things that I do whole on the phone. so why not take pictures to attach to those messages?

I hope a workaround or good third party app becomes available. :p
[Captivate General] JayPhill89:
I'm almost positive it's a Samsung thing. This has really bugged me for a while too, I was so used to taking pictures on my iPhone 3G anytime. My friend with a Samsung feature phone couldn't take pictures with low battery while my iPhone would click away until it was dead.

Once I got my Captivate and tried taking a picture with low battery, not like the battery life is great to begin with, and I wasn't allowed. Samsung shouldn't be able to decide when we can take pictures. I really hope that at some point we can take pictures and this device will be unlocked from Samsung's grips that much more.

Does anyone have an easy root or universal root for Cellular South htc hero if not can one be done? Would really appreciate it very much if possible. Thanks in advance.
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OBSt4l0n:
First off you are in the wrong section as there is a Q&A section for things such as this.

Second, there is a nice thread that explains everything as well as linking you to all the necessary files that you need to download. That thread can be found here, http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=581869 . If you have any questions feel free to pm me as I check them frequently. Good luck to you, I have been on froyo 2.2 cyanogenmod 6 nightlies with my cell south hero, and i love it. So fast and none of the lag issues found on our stock 2.1 rom
[Hero CDMA Android Development] monkt01:
Thanks for leading me in the right direction
[Hero CDMA Android Development] itsmatt1109:
can u please explain the nightlies to me or point me in the best direction to understand them. ive heard of them before and never know what they are. thanks in advanced
[Hero CDMA Android Development] OBSt4l0n:
the nightlies are all of the updates to cm6 that are made throughout the day. To me these are more stable than the CM6.0.0 stable as lots of changes have been made between it's release and the latest nightlies. I take about fifteen mins every night hopping on and downloading the newest nightly. Sometimes the newest nightly is just a repeat of the night before but sometimes there are changes. All of these can be flashed over the last ones without wiping due to the same build. That way you can actually make settings one time and never have to worry about them after flashing a new nightly. I would also suggest downloading Decad3nce's BFS kernel and keep it updated as new releases are out. It must be flashed after each new nightly in order to remain in place.
[Epic 4G General] pjy9394:
Hi guys,

I think I bricked my Epic. Can you guys help me with this?

Well, I just got the DI18 flashed through this update(DI18 update for Stock Roms Only - xda-developers) and rooted the phone, and I was messing around with it. I was trying to get the writeandgo app for my epic, so i took writeandgo.apk and writeandgo.odex and put it in my phone in "system/apps" (stupid move i know). But it didn't work, so i turn off my phone, hoping it would show up in restart, and now it go past the galaxy s logo. The screen just turns blank, and wont do anything there.

So I tried flashing the DI18 full tar (255mb one) to my epic, and its been stuck at param.lfs forever! Is it supposed to take that long?

Im thinking of doing the factory reset (volume down+power, clear storage), but i don't know if it would work, and i dont want to do anything to my phone without confirmation at this point haha...

Is my phone bricked, and is it recoverable? How?

Help would be appreciated.
[Epic 4G General] 063_XOBX:
You don't flash the .tar...you install it with a proprietary samsung flashing tool or odin
[Epic 4G General] pjy9394:
oops.. i meant odin installing with odin. it's not working.
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
It should only take like 3 or 4 minutes. Did you put the tar in PDA?

The full DI18 file is not a .tar file, it's a .MD5 file. Do not change the extension. Leave it as an MD5 file and place it in the pda field of odin, then uncheck the F.Reset time box and hit start
[Epic 4G General] mattallica76:
Unplug it and pull the battery. Close odin and start over. Did you flash the tar only?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] red2erni:
Ive had many "not registered" errors when trying to place a calls over WiFi and called in for support to TMo many times. The third week and the fourth or fifth "PDA" service guy went all out and then gave up and turned me over to "Loyalty". Its like getting switched to the inquisition. THEY told me, 'bad news' Vibrant can't make calls over WiFi. SO I confessed it only worked 50% of the time.

When I agreed to take the phone, TMo said it would support UMA. In the mean time I think they decided they would not support UMA. I can call TMo phone mail no problem and the phone rings and then disconnects. It will make a call from "voice" but shows the not registered error when I dial a number. It has to be TMo router settings. They offered to send me a 3G Curve which they said would support UMA telephony, but they had no other phones - oh yah maybe the "Shaddow" was available but even they wouldn't go so far. I'm SOOOO sick of RIM, really, really sick. So I rejected that. So now I'm making calls and receiving calls over WiFi, but not reliably and with no support.

I'm fairly certain this is the tip of the big iceberg. My Vibrant was very early pre-purchase, so it might not have had all the TMo down mods. Never the less, it seems crazy that I would pay them to use my own DSL/WiFi as I seem to be doing with my HTC Incredible/Verizon phone. It works great, but of course I pay.

TMo gave me some questionable information regarding using Vonage, which I found does is not suposed to work with the Vibrant. They also said no Android phone will work with TMo hot spots, which I am inclined to accept. It appears all the carriers will do anything to keep a branded hand set off of free WiFi telephony. So I'm trying Google Voice. It registers, but I have so far not recieved a call to my new Gvoice phone number.

Do I need to root the phone? Are there apps that will help? Does any one out there think the 2.2 upgrade with the TMo holy water has a ghost of a chance of making WiFi phone calls without a TMo charge? My Incredible/Verizon still tethers on PDA-net and I think that is not charged. But I'm not clear on that either.

I just pre-bought a Tab through Cell Phone Hut. I will see if a device free of TMo tweeks will route telephony over WiFi. All I really need is a cheep pre-paid SIMS card for OTA. It's nuts thinking to pay 3G or 4G OTA data rates when the same data is free over WiFi. There will be many Android apps to do all your data I/O when you are in range.

cheers all... thx for any light on this!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
Umm what? You're able to make calls on wifi 50% Of the time. You can make Google voice calls over wifi? You were told the vibrant would have uma? ?? Maybe I'm misunderstanding you but....

Google voice is NOT a voip service so i think you're misjudging its use.

Vibrant was never said to have wifi calling, just like every other android.

An app called kineto was recently announced that does wifi calling but its not uma. it doesn't hand off to cell network. Its announced to be available for the new mytouch n moto defy.

Also, tmo uma will no longer give you 'free calling'. It takes from your minutes so its only real advantage is to extend coverage.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] matthenry87:
The Vibrant hasn't been confirmed to ever get Wifi calling but it was demo'ed on a Vibrant running 2.2. The feature could possibly be added to the vibrant once it receives the 2.2 update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KnottyBitz:
This is strange. We've had our vibrants about a week. When I'm home I have the Wifi turned on. The signal bars drop to zero. I have just assumed that my voice calls were going over Wifi to our DSL modem over the Internet.

Note: We happen to have a T-Mo wireless router from back in the days when we were using it with our Blackberries to keep the minutes down. Subsequently T-Mo switched us to an unlimited plan, but we still use this router for one hard-wired home line.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] strictlyrude27:
Signal bars dropping to zero is just a visual indicator; doesn't necessarily mean there is zero signal, just not enough signal to flip the visual indicator. This happens to me quite a lot - I have no signal, but someone calls me and the call quality is fine.

In any case - basic logical fallacy - correlation does not necessarily imply correlation. Although it would be super nice to make calls over wifi!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hukkguai:
<------ Tmo Retail Rep

There is no Android phone that supports UMA at the moment. The only Android that will have UMA that has been announced so far is the myTouch HD. Not sure why someone would tell you the Vibrant has the feature.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
Not only that, 0 bars doesn't mean no service. The circle with a slash means no service

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KerryG:
Where was it ever said that the Vibrant would have UMA? Its one thing if a rep was mistaken but no slick, ad, spec sheet, or anything else that I recall ever implied that UMA was going to be available. I came from a Blackberry to the Vibrant so I felt I was aware that UMA was not available.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] michaeldonovan:
I am thinking about moving to vibrant and tmobile. the only thing that is stopping me is the lack of uma support on the vibrant. Does anyone know whether this is capability will be added with the 2.2 update??
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] badaphooko01:
Have you guys not tried any of the new leaked froyo roms? They all have wifi calling and it works, although its not uma and doesn't hand off it works great. This is actually a Godsend for I have had Tmobile for 7 years and I get no service in my house, finally a solution. I'm not sure this will be released in the upcoming froyo update or it was just pulled from the Mytouch4g and they made it work for our phones.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arffer:
A couple of days ago I was running:

* I9000XWJM8 firmware

* JH2 modem

* Xcaliburinhand I9000 v1.3 Voodoo kernel

* Tayutama Edition v1.1 Lite ROM

Then I decided to try the leaked Froyo, followed by COG 2.2

Before I left my I9000 configuration, I used ROM manager to do a backup.

After I finished with testing Froyo, I decided to go back to my previous configuration, so I one clicked back to JF6, and then restored my saved rom.

I was surprised to find that neither my JH2 modem nor my Xcaliburinhand kernel restored, it appears that only the I9000 rom restored.

I had thought, incorrectly it would seem, that using rom backup would do a complete backup of my phone, but now I think it only backs up the rom part (I guess that is why it is so named).

Does anyone know of an app that actually does a complete snapshot backup of the phone? Like a disk image or ghost utility on a Windows PC does? SOmething I can make a complete backup?

Thanks in advance!

They aren't all just plain black/white, but as suggested in an earlier post, you can just extract some of these icons that are already formatted and designed with that 'iPhone' look then just convert them to black/white in Photoshop and resave.

[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
I have no idea where this should be posted, but since I have a Vibrant, and I know there is a lot of development going on with that platform, I figured I may as well post it here. I actually suggested this in the Bionix thread, but it got buried in all the other chatter pretty quickly. Hence, the reason for this post.

I think it would be great if the active devs here had read-only forums where they could post updates on their development efforts. That way people (non-devs mostly) could subscribe to those threads and get notifications whenever they post something. The ROM threads get so big so fast, it is hard to keep up without reading them several times a day (heck, several times an hour!).

This would require the admins here to set up the forum and grant editing rights to the active devs. Then a process would have to be developed to decide when new devs could be added to the list. In my mind, the way I envision this working is there would be one forum (call it "Developer's Corner" or something like that) and in it would be different threads for each development project. You subscribe to the threads that interest you and BAM, you are getting notifications from the forum when the devs post something there.

[Vibrant General] richan90:
Devs rely on users to post bugs so they can fix them. How would this be possible with such a system?
[Vibrant General] ronin4740:
...by sending bugs via PM to the dev?
[Vibrant General] zephiK:
Why would you do that? Just use bug tracker on Google projects, it is far more organized e.g. http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod/issues/list

The idea of a read-only forum is just awful. If you want to follow the developer's progress then follow them on Twitter. You don't have to read every post, use the search functionality WITHIN that thread to search only in that thread to look for what you desire to find.
[Vibrant General] kangxi:
The real solution is to post a separate thread for each release. That way you know that everything in that thread is pertinent to that release and aren't looking through old replies that don't even matter anymore.
[Vibrant General] MrGibbage:
There would still be open forums (the ones that already exist) in which people will be able to post questions, bugs, etc.

I didn't know anyone here was using the G bug tracker. That is a good idea.

As for using twitter, I am sad to admit that while I use twitter, I hadn't thought of following the devs there. I will take care of that today.

This is also a very good point. The differences between some of the different revisions is quite drastic, and having all of the revisions in one thread is counter-productive.

The bottom line here is the current method creates one big mess and there is clearly room for improvement. I think if the devs had a way of posting announcements for which users can opt-in to receive notification when those announcements are posted, then that solves one small portion of the mess.

Would that be so bad?
[Vibrant General] dattaway:
You have just described Twitter.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
I was under the impression that one dev didn't want to know about bugs in their roms inside of their threads.
[Vibrant General] zaduma:
Only if it's super buggy and they know it is buggy, no reason to post bugs then.

Back on topic: Your idea got buried because it sucked. People read through all that, not everyone, but some do.
[Vibrant General] jeremiah_mn:
Often when someone posts something that they already know is full of bugs they will ask people to not post about them, just because they are already known issues.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thedrmonkey:
So the other day I bought a set of screen protectors from the T-Mobile store and ever since then my screen wont respond when I bring it back from sleep. I never had the problem before the screen protector, but I've never heard of a screen protector doing this. It never did it on my G1 or any other phone I've ever put one on. I noticed it does it mostly if I unlock the screen with the "end call button" and only sometimes when I unlock with the "send call button."

Also this happens in both Android and WinMo. Anyone else having this problem?

What do you guys think ? :rolleyes:
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] tgtoys:
