Most of wich are because this mod. Most people, specially in the beginning, tried flashing 3 button fix either by it self or the 1 click that has it. Issue is you cant mix and match GB bootloaders with Eclairs. Assuming CM7 supports GB bootloaders I suggest flashing those and never using 1 clicks that include bootloaders again. No need to risk it. This mod was great at a time, now is the leading cause of hard bricks, mainly because people dont read.
[Captivate Android Development] movrshakr:
Totally agree. But my point stands: there are things you can do now that will brick your phone that would NOT brick your phone before GB was on the scene.

Moving from eclaire to froyo did not introduce this issue; moving from froyo to GB did introduce the issue.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Eclair-froyo bootloaders are the same. I believe the new bootloaders where needed for the new os? apart from fixing the 3 button issue. I assume samsung had their reasons for it.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
so If I flash a GB Bootloader, that will also fix the 3-button combo at the same time?
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Yea GB bootloaders fix the 3 button problem.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Just be sure that if u do flash the Gingerbread Bootloaders, that no matter what

DO NOT FLASH THE 3 BUTTON FIX afterwards

or u

will

b hard Bricked. :(

(i am not yelling with the caps, just stressing the consequences) :)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
^This. Hence why 3 button fix is obsolete. Atleast in my opinion
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Unless u run something that isn't gingerbread.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You can run Eclair or Froyo on Gingerbread bootloaders... Only thing that limits bootloaders is specific AOSP kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] yuhenyo:
is there any recommended GB bootloader for use with cm7?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
I honestly don't know. I don't keep up with cm7 anymore. I haven't had a HTC device to play with for a while and never liked how cm7 felt on the Galaxy S in general.

Cant find 3 button fix

I have a captivate that didnt come with a 3 button fix

i try mobile tech videos and their link doesnt work

and i try Poncho (sp) and the link not working eather

the problem i am having is that i can not get in to DL mode and i dont flash enought to buy or make a JIG

does anyone know of a link where i can DL the FIX
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Safer fix is to flash the I897 GB bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] TRusselo:
i897 Gingerbread bootloaders.http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821
[Captivate Android Development] jimlmackjr:
the problem is i cant get in to DL mode to even to get to ODIN to flash a bootloader

any help would help
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
If your phone is basically functional (i.e. it boots normally, you can use it), you could always try using ADB (part of the android SDK) and issuing the "adb reboot download" command.
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
ok so i think this is what i need but i need a lil conformation and help with it. i updated for the third time in miui to 1.8.12 and its been stuck ever since cant 3 button to recovery my jig wont send me to download idk what to do cause im over miui i wanna go to cm7 or something different. but i think this will work for me i hope but do i just download it and it will automatically work or what?
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Two things:

1. --NEVERMIND-- I thought it was ODIN-based. It's a CWM flashable zip, but see #2.

2. Don't use this. If you're on the Froyo/Eclair bootloaders it might possibly, maybe, sorta, kinda, help a little bit if you're lucky. If you're on any Gingerbread bootloaders, it will murder your phone. Dead.

Just out of curiousity, what 3-button are you using to get to recovery? Are you pressing V+/V-/Power? If so, try V+/Power or V-/Power from a powered-off state. Also, I'm assuming you've tried V+/V-/Insert USB cable, right?
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
yep tried the usb it didnt work just tried those other twos u said and didnt work.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Have you tried ADB? If you want to know if you are hard bricked, check my sig for Am I Bricked.
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
what is adb? and im on a mac computer will that be a problem? or should i boot up my old windows computer?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Not sure about adb on a Mac, but I know that the am I bricked had to be run on Linux.

Adb is Android debug bridge. It's part of the Android software development kit (sdk). It allows you to execute commands to your phone from your computer. One is a command to reboot into download mode (adb reboot download).
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Does your computer recognize your phone if you plug it in? If so, can you move files to your phone? I'm just wanting to see where you're at right now.

Use your windows machine for ADB - I'm not sure of the mac standing with ADB.

I just tried on my phone to make sure, and I was able to use ADB to reboot to recovery. If you can get to recovery in that way, try going to mounts and storage and do "format system" and "format cache". Then try to run the MIUI installer again.

If all else fails, you could try the CM7 installer and see if that works.

Or, absolute last resort, worst case scenario, you could ...try the 3-button fix. I don't like saying that. Please try everything else first. If you do want to try it, try to remember if you ever flashed ANYTHING gingerbread on your phone. If you did, don't use it. Make sure you back up anything you care about on the phone first..
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
i have moved alot of pics and everything off my phone to the computer it does recognize it. before i was running miui i was running a 2.2.2 rom not sure which one it was. me and another member who was helping me tried to flash me to cm7 but it didnt work so we tried miui and it worked i was happy with it till the last update i got and now it wont let me update or anything and im having force close issues. i like the phone just wanna get it working good again id be happy getting back to stock rooted right now lol and start over on something else. i never downloaded gb bootloaders im not 100% how we got to miui its been so long now. im fixen head out to take my sister and law home ill be back on in a lil while and ill start to download that am i bricked thing.
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Ok. If you like MIUI, why not try the kernel cleaning script in mrhaley's signature, then in recovery doing the mounts/storage formatting of "system" and "cache", and then reinstalling the latest MIUI update (1.10.28, I believe). See if that gets you back to some place sane. Also try flashing the glitch kernel - that helped me with some instability issues I was having with the stock MIUI kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
i cant get to mount and storage cause i cant get into recovery or does the kernel cleaning script help me get back in there?
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
anyone????
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Ok, if your phone is still doing the FC's when you boot up (but you can at least do something), you might have a small window where you'll be able to hold the power button long enough to get the reboot options up. If that's the case, you should be able to get to recovery from there.

The kernel cleaning script is simply a file you use in recovery to do some tidying up on your system prior to flashing a kernel - it's not really a fix, but more of a tool to get the phone ready for flashing a new kernel.

If you can't get the phone into recovery, and have access to a windows machine, here's an easy ADB tool: Android Master. It's a zip file, doesn't install anything (as far as I can tell), and has an easy way to get you to recovery mode.
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
how do u do the first option im gonna give it a shot first before powering up the old windows computer
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
Boot your phone to MIUI (even if it's throwing FC after FC at you). Once you're there, get out of the lock screen, then hold the power button. It should bring up 5 options: silent mode, airplane mode, privacy mode, reboot, and power off. Choose the reboot option, then "recovery", then hit ok.
[Captivate Android Development] bjballar41:
ok all i get is phone will be restarted and ok button and cancel button
[Captivate Android Development] Nick D:
Thank you for this. I had to reply since there wasn't a Thanks button. I thought I'd lost my 3-button combo when Cyanogen went down in flames yesterday. Prior to yesterday I only had to hold power until the first black screen, and after the crash I couldn't get to recovery as usual. Without your post I'd have never tried waiting for the 2nd black screen, but it worked. Thanks a million.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc8081:
I'm not asking anyone to try it? I've tried it and it doesn't work for rock player it just plays on my phone YouTube and photos work tho could it be bc I'm on 2.2?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
I doubt android 2.2 is the culprit. The likely cause is that rock player doesn't take advantage of the hdmi out feature. The developer would have to be the one to enable that feature for their app.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RTC88:
You have to choose system mode. I just tested it last night confirmed working.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jc8081:
Thanks but that doesn't work bc I'm trying to play avi files and they can't be played in system mode. So does anyone else know a way to play avis through HDMI ?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lovethyEVO:
If it can't be played with the systems media player then it can't be played through hdmi.

[Android Software Development] muntos:
Hi, I want to control the system settings "auto brightness", setting it ON or OFF.

I'm able to control the brightness level but only if AUTO is OFF.

From what I read until now there is a SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE in Settings.System but only for API level 8 or higher and also not recommended to mess wit it.

But currently my phone has Android 2.1 (API 7) and there are widgets that can control this setting (enable/disable auto brightness and set the level), so I'm sure it is possible.

Tried also with IHardwareService but couldn't find anything about this.

How is this done ? Thanks.
[Android Software Development] muntos:
Ok, solved :)
[Android Software Development] Gene Poole:
Could you kindly post your solution so when others find this thread in a search, they don't cuss and throw things when they find out that it doesn't help them at all?
[Android Software Development] muntos:
Actually, I it like in API 8, except that you define the strings. It works in API 7, don't know if it's working in lower versions.

private static final String SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE = "screen_brightness_mode";

private static final int SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_MANUAL = 0;

private static final int SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE_AUTOMATIC = 1;

Settings.System.putInt(resolver,

SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS_MODE, mode);

Settings.System.putInt(resolver,

Settings.System.SCREEN_BRIGHTNESS,

lev);
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnsto:
For the second time, my girlfriend's (completely stock) 2.2.1 N1 has decided to forget who it is after being off for a few hours or after the battery dies.

She came home today to turn it on and find the 'Touch the Android' screen, and then proceeding with setup. She got through that and found all her apps and wallpaper were still present, but the homescreens were back to stock layout. All this time, a bunch of apps (such as smart keyboard and wordfeud) were force closing.

I managed to catch a logcat after a reboot which seems to show some sort of permissions error reading sqlite databases for each app? (Would fix_permissions.sh fix this?)

Logcat here: http://sprunge.us/KXbh

Anyone else experienced this? For now, I've just factory reset it, but it's not automatically restoring her apps and setup, so we're doing it manually. It's quite a pain.

Any tips or advice appreciated.

The Facebook app is already taking up almost 10mb and Contacts Storage is taking up 20. Are Facebooks contacts counted in Contacts Storage or somewhere else? I don't remember seeing the com.htc.socialnetwork.provider taking up this much space.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
facebook contacts are stored in contacts storage, and com.htc.socialnetwork.provider.apk has always been there, its nessesary to run the integrated social network elements in htc sence, its stores your usernames, passwords and other related data, i used to periodically clear the data for all the things like that to reclaim some space (that was before i changed the mtd partitions on my device) lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogershroed1991:
Oh, somehow I never noticed it before. Does yours take up 15mb of space too? Seems like a lot.

no it dosent, but i have like 5 facebook n twitter friends :( lol
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogershroed1991:
Oh ok. I have about 650 Facebook friends, and I don't use Twitter. I think it wastes a lot of space on my phone downloading all the friends, it would be nice if you could set it to just download the friends you've linked and ignore the rest.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Izzysoft:
So if I don't use Fakebook or Twitter, is it safe to remove com.htc.socialnetwork.provider completely (e.g. freezing it with Titanium Backup)?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rogershroed1991:
If you don't use Facebook, I'd assume it wouldn't take up much space on your phone anyway, right?

It's really starting to annoy me how just my contacts seem to take up almost all the space on the phone and there's no room to download any new apps. Now I know why people like iPhones.

Alright, I used gmail, but I also have an old SBC Global account that I still keep up with on my phone through the mail program. When I initially set the account up on the phone, it will download all the email at that time, but through-out the day I am not receiving any new email. I know that I'm receiving email because when I get on my PC and check my email, I have tons waiting for me. I'm not sure why my phone isn't syncing them.

[HD2 General] Blairware:
My guess is, they are waiting to the release day of the HD7, then to appease the HD2 owners until they pluck down money for the new model, they deliver a lukewarm update. It's not a bad update at all, solid, and stable, it's just that it fails to add anything new and or exciting, application or feature wise.

I see the updates for EU, in all the 3.14.4xx.2 flavors, and it irks me. Football provided the leaked 3.14.531.0 TMOUS ROM a

month ago

and yet T-Mobile has yet to post it for download. Not that I would RUN a plain jane vanilla ROM like that for long. And yes, we have the packages in the builds our esteemed chefs are providing.

It's just that I know why T-Mobile has not provided. They are all busy with the Shiny new HD7 to bother with updates for a phone that they are likely to pull in a few weeks. No M-O-N-E-Y in it. That's okay, they are a business and entitled to look for profitable moves, but it's the loyalty thing that gets pushed aside, and over the long haul, that will hurt them more.
