The captivate was horrible!!!!!

Loving the bare android on this phone. It will take a few days,but I'm liking this so far.

Just wanted to say "hi".

Look forward to rooting this. WAIT whay? This has everthing the buggy captivate has once rooted and tweaked. LOL
[G2 and Desire Z General] luis86dr:
Welcome glad to see you ditched plastic over a real phone.

Sent from my HTC Vision G2
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] larryccf:
welcome aboard -

i came to the G2 from the Vibrant - one thing you'll notice is the absolute absence of any GPS issues - uncanny

but there are a number of other upsides to the G2

enjoy
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
Yeah. At first I wanted the Vibrant as well. Went to the tmobile store checked out the G2 and the Vibrant side to side and G2 it is. The vibrant felt like a cheap iphone where the G2 was great looking and had that heft I was looking for.

I'm glad I got the G2, I had the G1 when it first came out also so its great. I just got the phone today and a upgrade from using my iphone 3G on tmobile, its a very big upgrade. The iphone can not match the smoothness of android os IMO.

I'm loving this phone, the keyboard is going to take some getting used to from the G1 I used to use before the iphone but its worth it. Now I just can't wait to root the **** out of this phone like I did to my G1.
[G2 and Desire Z General] pdxrealtor:
Ya I can't wait for the number port to kick in so I can play with a WORKING gps. Lol.

The samsung phones , IMO, are garbage. All the way down to the file system.

If rooting the captivate gets me on parr with G2 stock then wow look out! This G2 will rock socks!!

I'd like to know this too.

You want the leather cases or the type where you "clip" the phone onto the case?

Regarding the clip on type, go to this thread and theres various links to different types of cases like that, I use the HTC clip, it's wonderful!

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=819182

If a leather case is what you're looking for, a generic case will work, you just have to find one that you like.
[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Xerott:
I've got the HTC one to use while riding my motorcycle so I can confirm it still has access to the headphone jack, I use it all the time.

However I'm not a big fan, the plactic spring clip it pretty fragile; I've gone through two in a month already. But there's not much out there right now and they're cheap, so if you need one they're not bad.
[HD2 General] xxljmzlxx:
I'm looking at an eBay listing for a HTC HD2. The phone is in pristine condition but can only boot to the tri-color bootloader with the message

"PB81120 SS-B3

SPL-2.08.HSPL 8G XE

0x05 0x50

CotullaHSPL

Serial"

Is the phone bricked? Is it worth buying and would it be an easy fix?

Your opinion is valued! Thanks!
[HD2 General] gaarry:
It is just HSPL'd. There's probably nothing wrong with it.
[HD2 General] xxljmzlxx:
Could it be a radio brick? Obviously the person before attempted to flash custom rom... but I'm assuming it either failed or something was "bricked".

I'm curious as to how the phone won't boot to rom.

Thanks for anything thoughts
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
If it were bricked it wouldn't allow to enter the bootloader. A task 29 may fix it.

How much are they asking?
[HD2 General] xxljmzlxx:
The seller is asking for $175
[HD2 General] ddgarcia05:
That's to much. I see them going for about $200 (working) on my local CL.

[Nexus One General] gaspriceskill:
Oh no! :( damn. This sucks.
[Nexus One General] irishrally:
That's fair. No extra charges.
[Nexus One General] niftydl:
It is unfortunate, but it was inevitable. As long as there are no extra charges, 5 GB of 3G speed seems fair. Blame everyone who abused their connections >:|
[Nexus One General] Das_mobile:
This seems fair, at least its not like 2gb and overage like those poor suckers on ATT
[Nexus One General] Mokurex:
5 GB on a mobile device is a lot to use. Are you guys streaming HD movies on your phone or somethin??
[Nexus One General] pdxrealtor:
I agree seems fair. Att is going down hill fast.

FWIW I had 5 gig tehter plan on blackberry as my main internet connection for two months. I came very close but never hit 5 gigs. This was 8 hours a day at work + pleasure.

Id rather have a choice than be stuck with either.
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
dude 5gigs is a **** ton... if you are blowing over that every month then you prolly need to look into using wifi a bit more often...
[Nexus One General] MassimoM2:
didn't know 10Gb cap.

how slow will it be? i wanna watch streaming video on bed.
[Nexus One General] Rusty!:
Just be glad you're not in the UK, most carriers here limit you to 500Mb now.
[Nexus One General] GldRush98:
Oh wow, that would REALLY suck. I definitely go over that easily every month. I have never come close to 5gb though. I'm on AT&T right now with a grandfathered unlimited plan, so I'm ok (for now).
[Nexus One General] OutlawPro:
At least the TMO unlimited plan is still unlimited, just at a slower speed once the 5GB is reached. With other carriers charging for overages, I'm not sure how they (the other carriers) can get away with calling it "unlimited".
[Nexus One General] norazi:
im guessing this doesnt affect tzones ($5 plan) users... since when i goto my account, even if ive been using over 2gb of data that month, it says ive used zero data... im guessing this is because everything is going through a proxy
[Nexus One General] JHaste:
wow i never thought of that actually...
[Nexus One General] generalagony:
can the proxy setting be used for other data plans to bypass this data cap? I normally use 6 to 8gb per month as the tether is my only internet access.
[Nexus One General] needmoregigs:
The 5GB limit is fair. At least they don't charge you for overages like ATT. My buddy has a 200MB plan because ATT f-ed him when he tried to grandfather his unlimited data plan from ~3 years ago. Now he makes me turn on my N1's hotspot whenever we hang out.
[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
+1

My jaw nearly hit the floor when I read that, and then read people complaining about it :rolleyes:
[Nexus One General] Arh1tekt:
I'm around 1.5-2GB per month right now and don't believe that I'll ever read 5GB unless I start downloading huge files all day! I believe this is the right way to treat customers compared to the "big two's" plan. Also, I'm a loyal T-Mobile customer for 7 years now.
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
I can live with 5GB limit...but they better never change it again to any lower :eek::mad:

Wavesecure is now working after upgrading ROM
[Desire General] Tander_ZA:
Thanks for the heads up, actually.

I think if they can get the application to autostart from boot, it will solve this problem?
[Desire General] spritable:
I was curious and just tried that. Locked my phone via the web interface of WaveSecure, turned it off, removed the battery for 10 seconds, then pop up the battery back and powered it on. As soon as the Android booted up, the WaveSecure lock screen showed up.

I think in your case the problem is having a custom ROM installed. I'm running stock Froyo and WaveSecure runs without any problems. I do not regret a bit the money that I spend on it.

PS. Something strange, when the lock screen is up, you can press the Home button and you will actually get to the home screen, but after 2-3 seconds, the lock screen shows up again. I think I did not had that before. Probably of the Froyo or the OTA update after it causes this. But this is not a problem, it works perfectly.
[General Questions and Answers] lorentholcke:
Not sure if there is a decently priced solution to my problem or not but hopefully will soon find out. The problem is that I have an inFocus projector that has hdmi input with no audio outputs on it. Stupid, I know. So I have a rooted Evo and would like to be able to send video to the projector using the micro HDMI cable while still sending the audio to my Yamaha receiver. The thing is that when I plug in the HDMI cable, the audio coming out of the 3.5mm jack shuts off. I think that there are ways to split the audio from the HDMI output but those are most likely expensive. So I guess what I'm trying to ask is if there is any work around method that allows me to keep audio coming out of the aux jack while I have my HDMI cable shooting video to my projector.

I don't know about everyone else but I absolute love the FM Radio on my Nexus One!

For those who are curious it came installed and working by default on the CM6 Nightly build tonight and it works great reception is clear and crisp, especially sounds awesome through my Bose speakers:
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] G1-evolve:

I guess I need the whole ROM.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SBS_:
Technically you need the kernel, but it's safer to just go with the whole ROM. The stock kernel for N1 doesn't support FM radio at all.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Rod3:
I may be wrong, but I believe it is more than just the kernel. I think they had to include some of the MIUI framework within the ROM in order for it to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] SiNJiN76:
Okay. Does the quality of the headset affect the reception? I'm using a cheap-ass pair of in ear plugs and I get horrible reception. Maybe it's because I'm inside a building (gym)? Haven't tested it anywhere else.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] xyellx:
wrong its there since 203
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] gIMpSTa:
Given that it's acting as your antenna, the quality of the wires in said headset could probably effect your signal, tho sitting inside a building is probably the bigger killer here. I used mine inside all day yesterday and when I was at my desk near a window, plugged into a cheapy set of desktop speakers it was working pretty well (for handful of stations at least). Other places in the office not so much, but I did a test last night outside with a short (about 1 foot) cut off cable plugged in and outside it was working surprisingly well. YMMV.

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] safeplayer22:
Okay, I know about this FM radio thing and I am not that tech savvy, BUT, what about AM radio? Is it even possible? I mean I understand that you gotta have the hardware in the phone to somehow enable it and I know the N1 don't have it. But why do they not make a phone that can pick up AM radio?
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] codito:
Because no one really listens to AM radio.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Zynon:
I'm pretty sure you need the driver for the chip for the apk to work.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mik101:

[Nexus One Themes and Apps] GldRush98:
wow. Uh, yes, AM is still widely used because it is vastly superior to FM when it comes to transmission distance. For when sound quality isn't the most important factor, and coverage is, like sporting events, AM is unbeatable.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] izmar:
if this is just a discussion thread, it should be in general...
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] mik101:
*shrug* AM radio in the conventional sense (think AM dial on the car radio) still sucks if transmission distance isn't the biggest requirement (ie reflecting signals part-way around the world bouncing them off the atmosphere for military, political, or whatever reasons).

FM Radio Bluetooth

Why does bluetooth turn on? Does this enable the FM receiver part of the chip and needs to be on for FM to work? I tried searching but couldn't find anything about "fm radio bluetooth".

Just curious thanks.
[Nexus One Themes and Apps] Jack_R1:
The same chip (BCM4329) is responsible for WiFi, BT and FM Radio. And FM Radio uses part of the BT stack, that's why it needs to be on.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
Ok I have rooted my captivate and un-installed at&t's crappy software and have clockwork recovery installed.

1st

question is did Clockwork make a back-up already of my stock rom when I installed it and labeled it "update.zip"? That's what it seems like when i read the directions for it. I made a backup while i was in clockwork recovery just in case. So if i want to restore my phone back to normal do I start clockwork and install that "update.zip" file or the backup I made?

2nd

question is if I want to un-root the phone do I just run the one-click unroot option and it brings everything back to normal? Or do i have reinstall all of at&t's crapware then unroot so things do not get messed up? If anyone can help this would be great. Thanks, Jesse
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jhester1967:
Can Anyone help on this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
The update.zip is actually the Clockwork Mod Recovery, this is where you have the option to restore your backup, also know as Nandroid. You may need to click on reinstall packages more than once and you will then see the menu for ClockworkMod Recovery. You will find your backup there, just choose backup and restore, you can then choose restore, and you will see the backup you created. You can also restore your backup through the ROM Manager app. Only your Rom is backed up and all of your setting but not the kernel.

To totally restore should you ever use a mod that changes your kernel you should use Odin one click to restore to stock. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989 This will remove rooting and restore the AT&T bloatware and set the phone back to how it was out of the box, don't worry about rooting because once you restore your backup ROM you will regain root.
