[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] es7241:
Would King Klick's or JAC's Kernels work in the JI6 Stock rom ?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gravis86:
In short, no.

But some of the devs have modded (or included) certain files in their ROMs to make them them compatible. Don't try to flash a Kernel to the stock JI6 or you won't be able to boot.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lucbl1:
A couple days ago, i've find some little pieces of dust in the front camera. The annoying part is that they affect the photos :mad:. Is there a way to remove it? I know the front camera is inside the "gorilla" glass, but could it be taken off? :confused:

Thanks!!

Could you tell me more about this? I have dust specs in my FFC too now.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deshark:
I also found some dust in the FFC of my I9000. I wanted to replace it but it only got sent to service and cleaned. Unfortunately dust is beginning to show again :/. It may be some defect in the construction of the phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nemethb:
It's due to the horrible placement of the headphone jack and bad quality components. Dust is getting in through the 3.5mm jack into the front camera. Solution: take a can of compressed air and spray it into the headphone jack until the dust is no longer on the lens. It could make things worse but it was beneficial in my case. I've been hoping someone would make some sort of plastic plug to cover the hole.

first off, thanks for everyone supporting such a great site

2nd, yes i use the search - haven't seen this come up

(other than beverages...)

but, what is the "normal" donate amount? we talking 2 bucks? up to 10?

i feel bad donating to ONE person, realizing that theres usually a team effort involved in each of these builds

likewise, i dont wanna donate 10 bucks to a few dozen people... lol
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
Yeah, I understand. If you send me $9, that would be ok too. I think your heart is solid gold.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MotoDj:
well, i have to say i'm shocked...

12 hours and thats the only reply?

boy i figured people would jump all over this topic...

owell, i'm gonna guess that the "redbull" means 2 bucks and call it good...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] -Michael_:
Very good question. I too am wondering about this. I was thinking about what a paid app cost? 2-5 bucks?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deltaechoe:

Like any "donation" you give as much as you want. And honestly most devs don't expect anything so any amount over 0 is a plus. So no there is no amount to little or to much :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ToyTank:
Over the 6 months I have had my phone I have donated 4 times to 3 developers for a total of $40 bucks. I am pretty well off, and won't miss the $40 at all. I understand that is not the case for most people though, and a couple bucks shows plenty of appreciation.

I also think $10 for retail software is not much. I also find I am more willing to donate $5-$10 for a free app I really like then to gamble a couple dollars on a paid app.

I flashed my rooted phone back to stock back up, installed updated with succesfully this time. Now here is what my phone states:

Firmware:

2.1-update1

Basedband version

I897UCJH7

Kernel Version

2.6.29

jetak.lee sep-11 #2

Build Number

ECLAIR.UCJH7

Is this At&t Froyo update?

And is my phone still rooted? Do i just need to redownload Tituim to backup apps and remove them again.

The only reason I rooted was to remove bloatware from At&t
[Captivate General] SlappyMcGee:
"ECLAIR.UCJH7"

No you are still on Eclair
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Your phone is no longer rooted. Must reroot.
[Captivate General] swilliamson79:
Im confused, after using ROM manager to restore backup and updating to the new update. the ROM manager and superuser permissions is still on the phone, however titinum backup is going. I thought that since ROM manager n superusers is still installed, i thought it was still rooted

So can I just delete the ROM manager and Superuser to completely become unrooted?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Your original post said that you flashed to stock and installed the update. Based on that - you were not rooted. Flashing to stock - does just that - makes you brand new - no root.

The update is not Froyo.

If you used ROM manager - you had to be rooted to originally install it, so its backup is of the your rooted ROM - NOT stock. If you updated a rooted ROM - you should have to re-root. I believe updating a rooted phone, wipes out the root, but I am not 100% sure as i updated stock, then rooted.

If you want 100% stock (or as close as possible) - you would have to flash back to Jf6 - you will be stock without root, and you can then install Jh7 (this is not Froyo).

Do you still have the superuser app installed? If so then you are rooted.

I don't really understand what you mean by "titanium backup is going" - and removing Rom Manger and Superuser app doesn't completely unroot you - it removes most of it, but not 100%.
[Captivate General] swilliamson79:
Thank you for your help. I have never rooted a phone before this one, I was very unhappy with all the bloated ware and im still learning all this stuff. Thank you for being patient with me.

Next question - is at&t going to release Froyo or is this something that another carrier uses and is better?

I must have never unrooted, but returning to backup via rom manager allowed me to update which is all i cared about.

titanium backup was supposed to read *gone* not going it was a type-o
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iDino:
Well, Im trying to find the right rom, but im having some trouble.

Anyone care to recommend one for me?

I would like 2.2 froyo, with live wallpapers, but I also want Sense UI cause I love it.

Also, apps2SD would be a big bonus too.... any suggestions?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] labnjab:
The only rom that I know of that has sense and is froyo is the kaos legendary. I may be wrong tho. Other then that the rest of the froyo are non sense.

Feel free to correct me.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mjb413:
that is correct kaos legendary and it's in alpha. does this post belong in q/a section?
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stevemoffler:
Just flash a froyo rom then download beautiful widgets it has a sense ability
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] n0ct3m:
This, plus there are LauncherPro docks out there that look like the Sense launcher so you could, in theory, have a Froyo rom that "looks" like Sense. You'd be a bit SOL on the widgets though.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zach.xtr:
FYI - The paid version of LP has most of the sense like widgets
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Abrasher:
You can have one or the other. As a rule...Sense UI (ROsie) will not work well, in my understanding, if at all with live wallpapers. Besides Live wallpapers is a drain in your device. They are fun for a day, then you miss not having to charge twice a day.

For now I would say

KaosFroyo v37 FROYO

Eris_Official_0.8.1T2 SENSEUI
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryppie:
1. White Widow

2. Shadow Rom

I heard that you can even run Angry Birds on those two. :p
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skipbarker:
As stated earlier the only sense froyo is still in alpha (it does look promising though).

In mean time my picks are CelebFroyo for 2.2 vanilla and xtr for a 2.1 sense.

If something here looks good give it a try, the devs on this board really do great work.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Delvaris:

[Epic 4G Accessories] jasonsf:
Is there a way to display on the Epic how much current it is drawing? Or some other way to tell if the cable being used is D+/D- shorted?
[Epic 4G Accessories] mattallica76:
Thank you. Very helpful.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
Good questions!

Q: Can you tell how much current the device draws from the device?

A: No. You CAN, however, get a battery graphing app like Battery Graph.

http://www.appbrain.com/app/battery-graph/com.modroid.battery

If you set the monitoring interval to 1 minute and start charging your phone (which should be low on charge) with the wall charger, you'll see a battery curve. You can then repeat this process with your alternate charging method. If you compare the slopes of the charging curves, you'll be able to tell if your alternate charging method is performing the same as your wall charger.

It's not as quick as using a DMM, but it works. It's how I initially saw I was having a problem.

Q: How can you tell if your USB cable has D+/D- shorted?

A: 99% of all cables will not have the lines shorted. You have to buy a "charging cable". But if you are in doubt as to what cable is what, plug it into a PC's USB port. Either the PC will detect the device (not shorted), or you'll trip the USB port's overcurrent mode (shorted).

Or... You can buy a DMM and check the resistance between D+ and D-.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jasonsf:
Awesome! Thanks for the info!

Oh, one more thing. Are you saying that the wall charger shorts D+ and D- at the plug? So any cable is essentially shorted when using the wall charger?
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
You are correct.

For the Epic, the wall charger shorts D+ and D- together.

For wall or car chargers that have a non-removable cable, 99% of the time the short will be inside the charger and NOT in the cable.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Firon:
Every computer I've used gladly lets me draw 1A without complaints. :P My old TP was hacked to draw 1A and nothing complained. Didn't even damage the cheapest of the cheap ebay chargers.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
YMMV. My netbook prevents me from drawing more than 500mA per port.

It all depends on how the USB port circuit is laid out. In the designs I've seen, there's usually a power distribution switch (PDS) in-line with the port that provides overcurrent protection. When that switch trips, it sends a bit to the hub chip that tells the hub that the port is in overcurrent state. (The PDS's secondary function is short-circuit protection. If you stick a car key in your USB port, your computer won't blow up.)

PDS's come in different current cutoff steps, so it is up to the PC manufacturer to choose the right one.

If your PC can't supply the 600mA on a single port to charge the phone, buy one of those USB power splitter cables that lets you draw from 2 ports at once.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I have found that if you plug in the phone and the options for charging, mass storage and tethering pop up, then you are only charging at 380mA. If nothing pops up then you are most likely charging at 600mA.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
Ding! You are correct. I never noticed because you don't get prompted AT ALL if you have USB debugging turned on.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jasonsf:
This is a little off topic. Does the usb cable initiate Dock Mode? I know some other phones use magnets in the dock, but I think I read that the Galaxy S phones detect the car or home dock via the USB cable. Did you discover a mechanism for this in your usb research?
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
No... I didn't find anything. Maybe I'll "rent" a dock from the Sprint store and find out.
[Epic 4G Accessories] drivenapollo:
Very nice write up. Answered all the questions I had about the slow charging of this phone. Thanks again.
[Epic 4G Accessories] aero1:
I am getting substantially faster charges with a 1amp charger than the oem 700, it looks like it is using close to the 1000 ma on some chargers.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jasonsf:
I'll have to pay attention to mine. I started using the 1 amp charger that came with my Touch Pro. I charge it overnight so I don't pay attention to how fast it is charging, but I'll see if I can notice tonight.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
Which chargers? I'll be happy to try any charger that you recommend.
[Epic 4G Accessories] muyoso:
I haven't tested charging by timing the charges, but I have installed a widget that tells me an approximate charge rate called currentwidget, and it gives me the EXACT same values for a 700 ma charger or a 1000 ma charger. Unless this widget is just straight up lying, the phone won't charge any faster than a 700 ma charger no matter how large of a charger you throw at it.
[Epic 4G Accessories] reauxgg:
I was going to suggest just taping over the data pins in the USB connector (obviously, the regular, non-micro end), but I just tried it and it still popped up the Charging/Mass Storage/Tether, though selecting Mass Storage doesn't work -- the device is not detected by the computer for obvious reasons. I've been using this trick for a while for my mp3 player and my Hero at work and was surprised that it didn't work.
[Epic 4G Accessories] IBNobody:
No, you need to short those pins together. If you leave them open, it won't go into high-current charge mode.

Those other devices may have had D+ and D- connected across a termination resistor. Putting tape on the pins would have worked then.
[Epic 4G Accessories] jimmyz:
IBNobody- I was wondering if you could explain this one- when I plug my epic into the usb port of the cheap charger that came with 2 batteries off of ebay (see here) my epic seems to freeze and the touch screen becomes unresponsive- the charger states it puts out 5.2V 800ma

Could it be that the phone is trying to figure out if its being plugged into a computer vs a simple charger?

[Desire General] Cpt_Chaos:
I was using 1.61 until last week when it stopped working on me. Someone gave me the good advice to google for Swype 2.4.44 and when I found it, I downloaded it and it works fantastic and the best part is that it is so much smaller than 1.61.
[Desire General] venkig:
Works fine. If you have issues with swype try SlideIT and see how it works out for you
[Desire General] Cpt_Chaos:
I have tried SlideIt and to be honest, I dont like it very much as compared to Swype. I have the newest version up and running on my Desire and it works great. no complaints so far.
[Desire General] nawoa:
With a little more experience now, I agree. This new version seems to be slower than the old one, causing more inaccuracy and missed gestures. Aside from that, its guesses seem a lot less accurate than before as well.

Maybe the reduced performance is related to the added compatibility with more apps that didn't work well with it before? Example would be Terminal, which didn't accept Swype backspace input before. It's still half-broken, but it's better than before for sure.

Kinda off-topic, but FFS SKYPE PEOPLE, WHAT ARE THE ODDS I MEANT TO TYPE "BERTIE", NOT "BEFORE"??? Ugh, I wish I was at a keyboard so I could launch into a proper rant about all the bull**** nonexistent words Skype suggests!

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] scuccia:
You can get it in this thread. I've confirmed that its work on the Incredible. It has some pretty nice features.

It can turn on automatically on BT connect.

While in car mode you can say "Hey Vlingo" to wake up the voice action prompt.

[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] pjd2011:
Awesome! Thanks a lot!
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] rfarrah:
Everything works well except the bluetooth connection. Starts up okay automatically when bluetooth is connected, but won't communicate via my Jawbone II. And when I turn off the bluetooth headset, it re-boots the phone!

It's still in beta, but when this app gets up to speed, it should be pretty awesome.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] Argent36:
Played with this yesterday - I love it - very slick and a great way to wow and impress your friends.

Only problem I noticed is once you start to navigate - you're out of the Vlingo app and shouting Hey Vlingo! at your phone will not get it to answer :P

The reading of incoming text messages is pretty sweet too - and it's voice recognition seems to work quite well even with the windows open and the radio on.
[Droid Incredible Themes and Apps] dang69:
I absolutely agree. This will be awesome once it smooths out. I tested it a bit today and it mostly worked but there was a little random funkiness while using BT. It worked fine with my Blueant speakerphone and headset but there was a reboot in there somewhere.

This is the only thing WM did better than Android. Nothing has even come close to MS Voice Command until now. This has the potential to be even better since it keeps the gateway open. VC was press a button on the BT and speak and you just ask for this to kick in. Recognition is miles better than native android Voice and the speech is actually audible.
[Captivate General] gerbsterkiller:
I was just wondering if anyone else had the same problem as me. I don't work in an office environment, and I like to start up Pandora or Slacker, set the phone down, and listen to it all around the store. With any Eclaire rom, I could successfully do this and be able to hear it loud and clear. Now, since I have updated to Froyo, I can barely hear it. It really bothers me because it is a good way to get around the whole "no stereos" rule in place, and now it is does not work. Is there a workaround to increase the volume?
[Captivate General] nicolasavru:
I'm still on Beta 2 and have noticed this as well. Before I could easily hear my ringtone on ~2/3 - 3/4 volume (in a not so quiet environment, of course). Now I sometimes miss it even on max volume.
[Captivate General] sschrupp:
I might be completely misinformed and totally wrong, but I thought I heard once that in Europe they have to limit the volume to a certain level. Is it possible that since this is a leaked version of Froyo that it's possibly meant for overseas and that it contains that limiter?
[Captivate General] bettingpython:
Seems to me that 2.2.B4 has more volume than eclair did. No problems with me hearing it and I suffer from hearing loss
