^hes got a mod for the FFC on the vibrant, anyway this can be done on the captivate?
[Captivate General] Verysafety:
Short answer: No

Long answer: http://tinyurl.com/2vf43f3
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
ive searched on google and everywhere says its possible for the vibrant, so why not for us??? its the same hardware in both phones...
[Captivate General] Verysafety:
The answer is no. Why do you need to know why? Physically, the phone is different. The outer shell is different, the inner casings are different, search the forums on google. There are topics on this.
[Captivate General] fraztto:
It's the same case as flashing a vibrant stock rom on your cappy. Basically it wont work and it is the proof for hardwares not being the same.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
You guys/gals are a bunch of negative nancy naysayers.

I did it a while back and posted my pic to prove it.

Mod closed the thread as it was a dupe, but i think it should stay open to show everyone what can be done if you put your mind to it.

Just because our phone has no place for a camera inside, and no connections on the motherboard is no reason to say it can't be done.

Think Positive!

BTW - it could use a little improvement - I am thinking about using a sharpie to color the tape black so you won't see it. Maybe then add a belt clip on the back. Oh, and cutouts for the sensors.
[Captivate General] the.dude.abides:
Bwaaahhh!!! That pic cracks me up! Mainly because I hadn't seen it before, and was expecting an internal job when I first started reading your post.

In other news, I am thinking we can REALLY fix our craptastic GPS reception with an external bluetooth GPS receiver..... thanks for the idea to think external alphadog00! (or has someone already done that?......)
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
I think someone tried it and it worked. I have an external receiver somewhere - had it for my Moto Q - not sure where it is though. But yes it has been done. It would be interesting to compare the difference - is it the phone and some blocked thread, or is it the GPS receiver in the phone, software, etc.?

I need to see if i can find mine.....

When Froyo actually comes out for the i9000 - officially - we might get some answers.
[Captivate General] Verysafety:
So I used to have a G1. I would just add my Gmail account to the phone and select "only show contacts with numbers". When importing Facbeook Contacts, I clicked sync, but did not "import contacts" and it synced photos with everyone. Can someone please tell me a method using the phone only to sync both of these together? I haven't had luck...

Thanks.

Oh yeah, PS This is for the Captivate, forgot to mention I do have this phone...but I guess I shouldn't let anyone assume so.

I want to flash cyanogen.. what is the best kernal to flash.. and can someone explain what the cm turbo is.. what would be the best setup.. im new to my evo.. we are in the honeymoon stage of less than two weeks.. im currently on baked snacks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkinnison90:
I'd definitely go with snap 7.6 with turbo enabled..

This is how Turbo is defined in the snap thread...

"SNAPturbo is a proprietary application designed to enhance system performance with no additional overclocking or battery penalty".sing

If you want to run a mostly stable, but could possibly have some bugs, but more added features, then go with the CM 6.1 nightlies. Or you could just flash the CM6 Final. CM6 Final is stable.

I'm using the 114 nightly I believe it is, and it's very stable for me and is providing good battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
im using CM6 final with the snap 7.6 kernel and it's all working well for me. decent battery life and good performance. also stable.

jkinnison90 do you think the snapturbo is worth its trouble in installing? is there some real noticeable difference in daily use or is it a benchmark-improvement kind of thing?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmollabi:
Hows the install of the turbo
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I use 6.0 stable with Snap 7.5. I don't like dealing with bugs, and 7.5 gets better battery life than all EVO kernels (Sense included) by far.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
So 7.5 gives you better battery life than 7.6?

Sent from my EVO 4G on the MetroPCS 1X network!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Award Tour:
I get great battery life. As far as better than 7.6, probably. Someone tested all the kernels and found 7.5 to be about 25% more effecient at idle than 7.6. I independently confirmed that the idle energy draw goes as low as the tests showed.

A lot of people disagree with me but unless you find a kernel that boosts the GPU performance, you won't see a visual/noticeable improvement between them. It'll just net you a higher number on a unclear test. But battery life, that's something that can be clearly experienced.

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkinnison90:
Yes. It's not really much of a hassle to install. Just set you phone in airplane mode and run the app and install it. Just let it set for probably 20 minutes or so and it'll restart and you're done.

I notice the phone seems a lot smoother.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Max_Pain:
didnt work for me :-(

the rom came with the snap turbo app installed.i have snap v7.6 working fine. i put the phone on airplane mode. and ran the snap turbo app...everything went as the thread said it would, including the crazy amount of force closes at the end of the thing. then it rebooted right around the right time frame (~20 mins) and then bootloop:(

sooo nand-restore for me...

this is not the first time that i try one of those apps that work for the majority and it doesnt work for me...:mad:
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jmollabi:
how do u run cm turbo..i flashed cyanogen n gapps..i flashed turbo in airplane mode nothing happens..any suggestions
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jkinnison90:
There's an app in the app drawer called Turbo. Open it and follow what it says.

Unless I misunderstood what you meant.

[HD2 General] thewaffle1:
Hey guys, I'd like to introduce myself first. I usually go by "Thewaffle1" on most forums, dont ask how I came up with it haha. I'm very new to the HD2 community, but not so new to the whole "phone hacking" scene or whatever you want to call it. I used to have an iphone for a long time and I jailbroke it and customized it and all that jazz.

As of two days ago, I bought my very own HTC HD2, and am so far very happy with it. I must say though, I know there are many things I have yet to do on this phone because Im afraid im going to mess it up, or "brick" it. I come to you today for some guidance; Are there any threads I should read besides the stickies?

I kept reading about this .net microsoft compact framework thing, and I installed it on my PC but im not too sure what it does or how to use it.

I also have now idea how to install it on my Phone either.

I would greatly appreciate it if any of you fine folks here could set me off on the right path.

Thank you very much for your troubles,

Waffle.
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
Welcome on XDA sir! (join the group) :D

Like you mention it's useful to start with reading the sticky threads.

On this thread most of the simply but most in commend questions new users ask are bean treat, so take a look on it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=784430

After that there is one important rule; "reading and following the informations mention in each post"

Maybe you will say this is obvious, but I must say the most of the problems that users make is by not following the instructions. :(

I hope this helps you, if you have more specific questions just ask.:cool:
[HD2 General] conantroutman:
As kurt said.... Welcome to XDA......

For ways to install .net framework look here....

You dont "use it" as such........ its something that is just there because it needs to be if you know what I mean....... once its installed you dont need to really think about it ever again.........

most custom ROMS will come with it cooked in anyway and if you had your old iPhone jailbroken your probably the kind of person thats going to want to flash a custom rom at some point........ ;)
[HD2 General] thewaffle1:
Thanks for the replys guys!

So i have the .net thing install on my PC, how do I install it on my Phone?

and once i do have it installed I can just drag and drop all sorts of roms onto my phone or what?
[HD2 General] kurt-willems:
.net is a needed application fore some other application can work.

it have nothing to see with rom.

about how to install, take a look on the thread I give you previously the link.

Sprint seems to have 2 billing systems. The store had a normal monthly bill, but the people that send messages had a different bill that had an additional $175.00 in charges associated with incoming calls.

Is this from using Google Voice?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fenixjn:
Only if they went over their minutes (or int'l roaming?). AFAIK, GV does not use a mobile number but a landline so it does count against your minutes available.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] conductive:
Waiting for Sprint to clarify what hapened or not? Checked Sprint messages to see if I still have a SNAFU and the codes associated with the billing messages are no longer valid. It probably somehow went against my minutes but I have yet to see a bill or other.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] v_lestat:
Wait you said the people THAT SEND MESSAGES.....

If tgey do not have a text plan on their phone they encure a charge for every text thet send and receive and if they were sending pocture messages then they get charges per kb of data sent or received.....

If tgey did a bunch of both i could easily see it adding up.

[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
Still more expensive than Amazon and Expansys.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
In all honesty, I would not pre-order.

In my opinion they are price gouging. The Expansys and Amazon prices have been stuck at ~£600+ ever since there were pictures of the device. Sure, if they were selling it a month early at those prices, then I could over look it. But they are totally ignoring how much the device is probably going to cost and acting like they are giving you a good deal.

There aren't going to be supply shortages of these things. Samsung wants to sell like a million a month for a year. They will be there when you want to buy one. Personally, I'd stop and look at the pricing when it drops. That means if its cheap as it should be then you can get a 64gig model. If its too pricey, then just wifi. Either way it doesn't hurt, and it certainly means that you actually get what you pay for instead of what Expansys thought it was worth two months ago when they 'guarenteed the price' (ie before we learned the retail cost in the states is going to be like $650/£410)
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
I think if anything, £600 is a good price. HTC Desires are still selling for £400 on the internet, so £200 more for a tablet makes sense IMHO.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
The problem really is that we don't know where its going to hit on the UK market. If its on par with the Euro-zone bits of europe, then £600 is a little high but about right.

On the other hand, if we're on par with say Finland or the States then those prices are way too high. Potentially you could get a contract one that costs £650 over its life time.

That's certainly why I'm not pre-ordering anyway. Until I see solid pricing for the UK, I don't want to commit to the price. £600 is about the highest it could possibly launch at, and if buying a day after lauch saves me up to £150 then hell yeah I'll wait a day. Im even thinking about importing a GSM one from the states.

[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
You'd think that wouldn't you... In fact you'd think that since the Tab hit Vodafone (my carriers) website within a few days of the Tab actually being a thing, you'd think that they'd have prices by now, since it's supposed to be launching within a a couple of weeks.

Personally I'm starting to feel like im banging my head against the ******* wall.
[Galaxy Tab General] GANJDROID:
That's true :(

It's even on Carphone Warehouse I believe. It's the fact its officially out in other countries, so we should have a certain price at least.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Galaxy Tab General] LostAlone:
Exactly. Its weird how they didn't just do a big release event for each zone giving prices and stuff. I know the carriers want to be doing the majority of the sales and they are a law unto themselves when it comes to release dates but still. If you want buzz then let us know what we are buying.
[Fascinate General] Dalamar1320:
Ok, so going from G1s and MyTouch phones to the fascinate, I've already rooted to use a tether app. Now I rooted using my moms pc cuz I sold mine after I found I never used it over 2 years ago. I've been able in the past to just flash a recovery image using terminal directly from my phones in the past, but I've not seen anyone in the development section flash the recovery this way, its all about adb push.

So my question is has anyone tried to flash the recovery image this way? If it can't be done, why not?

Specifically something along these lines:

Copy recovery.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app

$su

#flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery.img

#reboot recovery

Has this been changed in the Galaxy S phones?
[Wildfire General] jsriz:
Hey Guys,

Just bought a wildfire and am just loving it.......well as my first smartfone it is just great.

rooted it last week.cooked a rom in kitchen :D (well nting much... just added app2sd and some more things to the stock rom )

but am confused with the whole flashing process

what does flashing a rom mean

a rom is supposed to be READ-ONLY-MEMORY rite??

how are we able to change the read only memory???

please help am confused.....
[Wildfire General] oscwilde:
"Flashing" a ROM means writing to flash memory - in essence, a solid-state memory core on a device.

The term is technically incorrect, but is in common use these days.

ROM does indeed mean read-only memory....and when "flashing" a ROM image - such as Wildpuzzle - you are effectively writing a new operating system to the solid-state memory core (the "read-only" memory of the device, if you want to call it that).

So...no need for confusion.

You've obviously got some technical know-how as you've managed to get your new image onto your Wildfire...so just enjoy it ;-)

[Nexus One General] stfwayne:
I had a Nexus One and just switched to G2:

Here is the breakdown

Pros:

-IMPROVED BATTERY LIFE OVER NEXUS (it's all over the net people look it up if you dont believe me)

-What looks to be a sharper screen

-Way better touch sensitivity (= better screen typing)

-Much snappier and faster than the Nexus

-Boots very fast

-Keyboard is very nice

-Hinge is sturdy and not bad

(dont listen to the haters everyone hates t-mobile)

-Keyboard has 3 dedicated buttons u can customize

-Dedicated Camera button (really a nice touch)

-Back is chromed out and still has LED flash

Cons

-WEIGHT (Nexus = 4.6 oz vs G2 = 6.5 oz)

-WEIGHT (heaviest phone, 0.5 oz heavier than Evo)

Thats the thing. Besides the weight, there is nothing else that makes this phone WORSE than the Nexus.

I say this based on the fact that in a few days-week the G2 will have tethering and mobile hotspot support.

I traded my Nexus + 50 dollars for the G2 and I was originally gonna sell the G2 but now i am keeping it.

The G2 is a well designed, well made phone that has a great screen, keyboard, and battery life.

You cant go wrong getting a G2, in fact, all you Nexus One owners should try and get a new phone soon bc the Nexus One's resale is dropping fast.

A month ago the phone was worth 500 easily now its pushing 300-400 if you do it through craigslist. Ebay still holds steady at 500 same with Amazon.

Bottom line: Nexus One owners have a hot phone they can easily parlay into a trade on craigslist like i did.

There is no need to wait for the next gen of phone, take your nexus one, get a g2, its faster, better battery life than nexus, and has a keyboard.

I love it!
