[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
I agree.. never had to tweak a phone so much to make it usable.

But - with the latest and greatest Cognition the phone is definitely usable. My only complaint is battery life due to the AMOLED screen being a battery hog. Even with it dimmed it eats more battery than a fat kid at a Hostess Twinkies convention.
[Captivate General] pdxrealtor:
You're not lieing. Yet another issue. Cognition was/is great. Really made the phone what it should be.
[Captivate General] shinji257:
I can't really comment on the GPS much but the phone works fine otherwise. This is in comparison to my previous tilt 2 which locked up several times a day.
[Captivate General] Superguy:
I friend "loved" that voice so much I told her I was getting her a droid for Christmas just so she could have that GPS help. :D
[Captivate General] sublimaze:
you can go with this (captivate)...or you can go with that (G2)

lol

j/k. i figured bwolmarans would get a kick out of that. i love that commerical too :p

pdxrealtor, i'm sorry you had so many problems with your captivate, and i hope you're enjoying your G2. i wouldn't say the captivate is perfect, but it's definitely more fun than my old iphone
[Captivate General] teh_Gnar:
I got my Cap about two weeks ago. I grabbed the leaked froyo, threw it on with OCLF and this phone is truely a work of art. It has no issues with restarting or any other issue of that sort (current uptime's 4 days, no perf loss). It did have lag issues with eclair but with froyo and oclf, this thing flies. No battery drain issues. No nothing... Not even a blue (or red or yellow) tint, just that halo-creating supersaturation thing.

Gps, havent had much of an issue using it in downtown san francisco with its high rises and me not having a dash that can keep the phone from sliding off when accelerating. But my phone's not a garmin and with everything else it does with great aplumb, having an underperforming gps is okay with me. If i needed a 100% reliable gps for my job or something, id go down to pep boys and get a dedicated gps. In all honesty, if you have a Cap, you can afford a 50 dollar garmin. And if you cant, youre living beyond your means, stop trying to be something your not for the sake of pride and envy, theres more to life than bragging on facebook, etc., etc.

[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
I am having some major issues with the wifi on my slide. When I have the rooted software installed. I have tried both the stock cynogen 6.0.0 rom and the teamfenix version but still cannot get the wifi to work on my home network. I haven't found any other roms to try though.

fyi:

Works fine on stock rom

home network is open with no mac filtering or anything like that.

I also have heard that flashing the radio might help but I thought that was separate from the wifi and the antenna works fine. I also have no issues with a data connection through the network.

Also if someone could recommend a way of transferring the phone program from the sense rom to the root rom that would be great. (I like the way it gives you the number it thinks you are about to dial, makes calls more fluid actions)

So... ideas?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] heybobitsme:
A few: The latest known radio for the slide is 7.09.35.10. If you have that you don't need to reflash it. CM 6.0 has a known issue with the wifi that you can fix by turning on bluetooth. You don't have to have bluetooth connect to anything, just have it on. I don't know why that works but it does. Or you can flash the latest nightly for the slide. You can find it through ROM Manager, but you'll need the paid version to do that, which is totally worth it, or find it in the cyanogenmod forum. However, if you go ahead and flash the nightly, beware that things may or may not work (although the last several I've run have been damn stable) and DO NOT POST BUGS IN THE BUG TRACKER!

Also, on a side note, bluetooth in call audio does not work. Meaning you can not talk on the phone through bluetooth. Stereo bluetooth works great though, so you can listen to music no problem.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
Thanks for the heads-up on that, I just thought my bluetooth was being retarded.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
How do I check what radio version I have?
[myTouch 3G Slide General] heybobitsme:
If on CM6: Menu>settings>about phone then look at the baseband version. It's the last set of numbers. If on stock ROM it's the same sequence except after you go into "about phone" you need to go into "software information".

Sent from my Rooted Slide
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
Where can I find the radio update? Can't find it on the HTC website or on here.

edit: actually - it seems to be working fine now for some screwed up reason. My roms seem to do that... if my phone is in a good mood when I do my nandroid restore, then it works even better than before (hey look that rymes). If not, then it says "F*** off and die, I'm not giving you internet you fascist SoB.". As you may understand my phone has major mood swings... I think it gets PMS. :p
[myTouch 3G Slide General] fermunky:
The CM6 thread has a link to the latest radio I believe. Also, something that worked for me is under the WiFi Settings menu, press Menu > Advanced, and change Regulatory Channels to 14. I saw that posted in one of the CM65 threads and it worked for me.
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
I found something interesting out about my phone. Apparently those moods I talked about are just the wipe not working properly. If I wipe it 3-5 time beforehand everything seems to work better.

I can even get golden sun working on the gameboid which I had thought was too unstable to work (just that one game though not the whole program).
[myTouch 3G Slide General] xan griegor:
I take that back about golden sun... stupid unstable ass game......

[Epic 4G General] Noel2255:
Alright, So I recently just moved from an Evo to the epic. And I'm glad I did. The evo was great, But I missed having a keyboard and the epic hasn't dissapointed.

I have a couple questions though,

Rooting on the evo was super easy, I'm still confused on how to use the one click root for epic. People are saying it doesn't work? And I read on some website if you just want to change roms and change kernals just to flash a custom recovery onto it and don't root, because rooting will only let you get root-only apps.

Please? Explain on how to root with the one click root method because I'm Completely lost on how to do this for the epic 0_o
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
The one click root does work. I followed the instructions and my phone is rooted. I'm new to android and to rooting but not new to modding phones/computers/software. After rooting you can still download none root apps in addition to root apps. From what I've seen most of the rooting issues come from people not following the instructions or not truely understanding them. I haven't flashed to a new rom yet. I'm waiting on froyo. So I can't say for sure but its my understanding that you have to have root premissions to flash a custom rom.
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
As far as how to root with the one click root I installed the samsung usb drivers for my operating system (win 7 64bit) Note: after reading several posts the driver installation takes a little bit. Click on the installing drivers message to bring up the install window. I let the installtion run for almost 15 minuted and it still gave me an error but after turning on usb debbuging on phone connecting with usb, mounting sd card, and running the one click root my phone restarted and I was rooted. If you search other posts you'll find more detailed instructions.
[Epic 4G General] helchez:
Correction. You don't have to root to flash a rom I don't know what I was thinking when I typed that. All you need is clockwork recovery.
[Epic 4G General] nimaim:
The only problem you'll encounter, if any at all, with rooting is with driver installation. If u follow the guides tho and don't try to experiment, u shud be good to go. These roots are one click as well as it involves running a simple bat file. Some phones are more finnicky than others, but they shud give u no trouble if u know what ur doing. Good luck.

And yes, the keyboard on this rules :-)

[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
I found this short animation at Vimeo.. its pretty cool. Would there be a way to somehow incorporate this into the phone? What resolution does it need to be and what format? I can probably convert it with Premiere Pro. :)

[Droid Incredible General] KB Smoka:
That would be a great boot animation....Hilarious.

I looked around real quick and found this:

http://www.droid-life.com/2010/04/13/how-to-create-a-droid-custom-boot-animation/
[Droid Incredible General] jasonb1985:
that would make a sweet boot animation, or even live wallpaper.
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Been playing around with this video from the link above.. uploaded as flash for now. Gotta figure out how to make those several .png files like the stock boot animation though.. Is there another format other than png's that will work with the boot animation?

I'm thinking this should be moved to another thread.

[YOUTUBE]e8Mdj-UTLSo[/YOUTUBE]
[Droid Incredible General] rcicu:
I would love to have that as a boot animation!!
[Droid Incredible General] gadget!:
Droid eating apple bootanimation

I fooled with it a bit, there are almost 400 frames in the video (far to many to use for a boot animation) so I slimmed it down to 100 frames and used jpegs instead of pngs. It still came out to about a 4meg file but that's not to bad.

It didn't come out to bad, here is a reduced size gif to show the end product animation. The animation below will pause for 5 seconds at the end and then replay, it does not loop on the phone. There is a small loop of the droid after the animation.

Download link: bootanimation.zip
[Droid Incredible General] LifTeD_JK:
Is the zip file you posted already formatted for a boot animation? Sorry I've never installed a custom boot animation.
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Thats stranges, I got about 204 frames out of that entire video I made on YouTube. .gif of course.
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
I tweaked it a little more to be portrait. And added the HTC logo.

[YOUTUBE]si1pJBZwZPw[/YOUTUBE]
[Droid Incredible General] chingy51o:
think you could upload that file?
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
I would love this as my boot up screen have you been successful in making this a bootanimation.zip file?
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
No I haven't, not exactly sure of the process in doing that. Just hoping someone else could work with what I came up with.
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
Can I download your source files we need frame by frame png files. Once we get those building the bootanimation file is pretty easy.
[Droid Incredible General] setexascustoms:
Nice work guys, wish I had the know how to finish it :D
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
Alright guys I had a little time today and this is what I got.

[YOUTUBE]sMgbpL1MiIM[/YOUTUBE]

This is my first shot at creating a boot animation and I may try to clean it up a bit later, but I have no idea when I'll be able to that. So here is the link to the bootanimation.zip and the DROID sound file.

http://www.4shared.com/file/RnmPd-ZA/Andro_Eats_Apple_bootanimation.html

For Root Users: The easiest way to install is copy both the bootanimation.zip and android_audio.mp3 to your SD card. Then use Root Explorer to move the files from the SD card to /system/media/ You will need to change the permissions of the folder before pasting so click on R/W in the upper corner. So thats it just reboot your phone and the new boot animation should work. I have only tested this on my incredible and can't be held responsible if something doesn't work. As always just do a nandroid backup and you should be safe.
[Droid Incredible General] madman34:
Nice work, but,,,,,,,;-)

What I would reeeeeeeally like to see is an android chewing up an Iphone and spitting out the pieces ;-) hehehehe
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Great job ctinsley! How many frames did you end up with? Have you figured out how to incorporate the "droid" audio into it?
[Droid Incredible General] UgXvibe:
Are there any changes you want me to make? I think I can render a smoother video by using a sequence rather than flash.
[Droid Incredible General] ctinsley:
I got about 204 frames from your animation and I took another 20 frames from the froyo incredible boot. I have it running at 18 frames per sec right now I was going move that up a little bit to see if I can get the animation to complete, since right now it cuts off (the xda developers word don't fully disappear) I think the frame rate might make it smoother anyway. The Droid sound is there in the video but I might adjust it a bit since it goes off right in the middle of the animation. Honestly I don't have any ideas for the animation itself I think its great but if you choose to change it ill try to package it up also for people.

Sorry, wrong post. I"m looking for a vibrant, not a captivate. thx
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] xan griegor:
Ive been trying to mod the stock rom on my MyTouch 3g Slide so that it automatically uses a folder on the sd card as the data folder for apps using the inherent "everything is a file" rule from linux.

I do have SU permissions on the ADB.

My theory is this:

If I replace the folder "data" with a link to the folder on the sd card, then I should be able to have as many apps as I want, I would just need to get a bigger sd card eventually.

Another benefit of this is it will actually be superior to App2SD as ALL apps will not only be able to be on the SD but they will all work properly (so pandora will let me still use the widget)

I am however not that well versed in linux or in modding a folder to be a link and just look like a folder. Anyone want to help?

I also know that, at first, I would need to ADB pull all the files from the required folders and push them back onto the SD folder. I did it once now if only I could get the link working.

edit: I have noticed that certain changes to the filesystem in the stock rom rewrite themselves on reboot. (ex: I tried to change the permissions on the built in shell to root but when I rebooted it changed them back, worked until then though)

edit: another thing I could do is have multiple sd cards with entirely different roms on them and just switch SDs when I want to change roms. But that's a project for another time.

[G2 and Desire Z General] JJG2:
There seems to be so many complaints from people and them replacements for their G2. Are a lot of people plagued by these problems? Do you think you have a perfect G2? (No dead pixels, no loose hinge, no random reboots, good battery, etc). I'm curious to see how many people actually needed to get a replacement before they got a 'good' phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] stereotripical:
I have had my G2 for about five days now, and the only problem I have is with the hinge. At first, I just thought people were complaining that the hinge would not snap-close/was easy to open, but after playing with he phone almost non-stop for the past five days I've noticed that it has actually gotten worse. It seems almost floppy now, and I fear that after a few months with this particular phone I will eventually be able to make it appear to talk. I'm going to go to T-mobile sometime in the next week and get a replacement, bu I'm curious as to what the chances are that I'll get a new phone with the same problem.

Aside from the hinge problem, I am far more than happy with the phone, bloatware and all. I'm hopeful that we will eventually have root and I look forward to keeping this phone for at least a couple of years.

[G2 and Desire Z General] ashwinmudigonda:
I have had mine for about a week. Two things mildly annoy me: the speakerphone is tinny and when I place the phone screen up, my carefully customized mp3 ringtones sound weird. Two, the battery life seems to barely eke by to a day and this is without even getting on to the GPS and Bluetooth bandwagon. Just HSPA/EDGE surfing. Heck, I barely even use it to make calls. An extremely minor minor irritant is that when I tap on the app drawer (I am using LauncherPro) there seems to be a millisecond lag before the apps zoom out. I find that a bit clunky, but no serious complaints.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Bishybob:
No big complaints about mine. I love it. Best phone ever.

Few small quirks/bugs I've noticed.

Trackpad moves itself when in bright sunlight or in a car and sun goes behind trees.

I've had one random reboot. But it was while streaming Pandora with headphones in my car with no A/C on a 95 degree day. Phone was quite hot and rebooted itself.

MMS slideshow sucks though an update should fix that.

Hinge, battery life, speed and data connection are all excellent in my opinion.

Well I will have had my phone for two weeks on Sunday (10/17/2010). I just sold my Nexus one on Ebay this week. So yes I like this baby a lot. Its faster than the N1, I love the design. I have had one random reboot, my hinges are fine. I think it's the nature of the design, not a defect. They're suppose to be loose. Plus in actual use when are you going to hold a five hundred dollar upside down. If I have one gripe it maybe the screen coming from the n1, I'll miss them black levels. But overall it's an nice upgrade. Love stock android.:)
