If he catches you off your guard I'd be VERY suprised. I don't think he has the speed to do that. But yeah, I suppose it would be rude not to help out ;)
[HD2 General] Noam23:
I'm pretty sure that the HD2 that he smashed was not functional to begin with. Otherwise he would have definitely turned on the screen prior to hammering it. He probably bricked it after visiting XDA.
[HD2 General] rr5678:
Yes it does :p

No, no matter how much I hate ****tle, that's still an irresponsible use of technology.

But still, ALL HD2s should be under warranty still. Especially since in that video, that was a TMOUS HD2.

Darn! I use the same silicone skin, does that mean it doesn't work? :p

The weirdest thing is why the little brat put it on a towel. Did he not want to scratch the concrete driveway?

Well I'd doubt he'd catch me off guard, been boxing for around 3 years now but you know its true what they say, never under estimate an opponent, I'd learnt that once, never making that mistake again lol

Yeah I was wondering about that too.............:confused:

Seems he removed my comment on the video......:(
[HD2 General] sumflipnol:
That kid's just stupid (and yes, I'm also a kid, albeit more mature). It's one thing to be frustrated at the phone (and technology in general), but purposely destroying the phone because he didn't know how to use it and wasting money is simply stupid. Oh well, Steve Jobs has another minion...

It's actually common sense. When he's done destroying the HD2, he can just fold the towel and throw it away, without doing major cleanup -- he doesn't have to pick up the individual shards of glass and the other parts of the phone (even though he deserves to do so).
[HD2 General] Spl4tt:
isnt that the same boy that throw another hd2 against a wall?

damn, my heart is still hurting after seeing that vid ;((

[HD2 General] THUDUK:
This is truly sad and like all the other types of Pootube video's that spread the obsession with smashing things up for the sake of nothing.

I have spent two months trying to raise £400 funds for a charity that I volunteer for, we spend hours of our time for the charity to raise money as every penny counts, raising the £400 that the HD2 in this example would have cost would have helped any charity, there are also elderly, less fortunate and needy people, wildlife, research etc...that needs this money to simply try and make our world a place for a nasty, ignorant, spoilt child like this to live in.

:confused:
[HD2 General] rr5678:
And this is where my rocket launcher comes into the picture :p
[HD2 General] Back Stabbath:
the saddest part is seeing you guys rage post over this. the internet tough guy attitude from some of you over a 15 yr old kid is definitely comedy gold. hilariously dumb stuff right there considering he probably forgot about it already...
[HD2 General] GulDucat:
This is certainly a good justification for not feeding kids too much sugar or allowance money. Sadly, this is the mentality of today's entitlement mentality youth.

There is one positive effect for stupid acts as these, they stimulate the economy far more than government programs. You see, mommy and daddy get to buy him a new phone since insurance won't cover death by smashing and he's probably still under contract (or at least mommy and daddy are) so a free phone isn't in the cards. eBay or the cell phone provider get to make another sale, tax revenues are generated, and society benefits.

Overall its a win-win. Best of all, he gets to smash yet another phone thereby repeating the stimulus cycle! This is a most excellent example of an Obama "shovel-ready" project with verifiable results!

Oh, I almost forgot, even the health care industry can benefit as well since the next time our little piglet smashes another phone without eye protection, he will increase his chances for an eye injury. I figure that a glass shard in the eye is good for at least a $20,000 medical bill. This will almost guarantee a trip to the ER and there's no telling how many jobs will be positively impacted by the stupidity of this little piggy.

Hmmmm...... I wonder what the net economic impact would be if this "smashing" stimulus was repeated just 1,000 times per week with 1,000 idiots smashing 1,000 iPhone-4's? We could pay off the national debt in no time at all!:D

[HD2 General] rr5678:
I never thought about it like that. But the national debt is at 13 trillion. Good luck with that one. And I'm pretty sure his parents wouldn't give him more money for another HD-------wait a minute. Yes they would.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devho:
I'm having trouble flashing back to JF6 after a failed JH7 OTA update.

I can't flash back to stock firmware after following a lot of the directions posted around the forum. Odin One Click is all bank when I click start and I immediately get "All threads completed 0/0" and nothing happens. I've tried several different orders of operations in regards to putting into downloading mode and connecting to the PC, etc.

Also, Odin3 does the same thing after selecting the PIT file and firmware from samfirmwares. I get the same message and nothing happens.

Is there a more specific guide someone can point me to or share some insight? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslee1020:
How are you using odin?

The process is the same for either ODIN one-click or ODIN3

Your phone MUST be in download mode.

You will get a black screen with a yellow triangle, saying "DOWNLOAD"

The process to get into download (works for me) is by powering off the phone.. odin must already be turned on in your computer. <<IF you are using win7, run it as admin... right-click then "Run as Administrator">>

With the phone powered off, press and hold both volume buttons, then plug in the USB cable to the phone. The cable must already be plugged in to the computer.

Next, start ODIN and wait for it to finish.

This should be a foolproof method.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drew489:
I am having the same issue...

I followed the exact directions on the thread title '[STOCK ROM] Odin3 One-Click Downloader and Drivers CAPTIVATE ONLY 'and I get into "Download mode" but nothing happens. I click start on Odin (the one downloaded from that thread) and it *instantly* says <OSM> All threads complete. (succeed 0 / failed 0).

What am I doing wrong?

Samsung Captivate running 2.1 rooted with "the beast". I bricked it last night trying to get OTA gps "fix" notice to stop bugging me.

Any tips? Thanks!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslee1020:
What OS are you running on your computer? Is it win7? If it is, make sure you run ODIN as administrator. Also, is ODIN on prior to connecting phone to computer?

Try following these steps:

1. Plug in USB cable to computer

2. Turn on ODIN (run as administrator)

3. Turn off phone (not connected to anything)

4. Hold down both volume buttons on phone

5. Connect USB cable to phone while doing STEP4

6. Click start in ODIN

This should work. If you are using ODIN3 instead of one-click, then make sure to set .PIT and PDA files properly, and to click re-partition if you are trying to unbrick your phone
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drew489:
Thank you....

I'm using Win 7 64-bit.

I've tried on both ways, prior and after, just to see if either worked.

The version of Odin is Odin3excution v1.00 downloaded from the aforementioned thread. (yes execution is misspelled on the actual program).

I am running it as administrator using the right click, run as function.

I can't link anything because I'm a new user (BAH! :)) but it says Odin3 One-Click Downloader on the top in black.

ALL the boxes are blank. Every thing is blank...thank you!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drew489:
I did this and I do get into Download mode immediately, Odin3 One-Click Downloader just says <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) instantly.

I'm guessing I need a different version of Odin? FWIW, the name of the actual file is I897UCJF6-final-OCD-REV0
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devho:
I'm having the same issue. I'm on WinXP, SP2 (old computer, I know.) I'm normally a Mac user, this is the only PC I have.

I'm using the same Odin One Click version Drew stated, with all boxes blank. Perhaps a drivers issue?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslee1020:
look up the odin one-click thread and DL the appropriate drivers and try again :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
As soon as you get into download mode and connected odin should recognize your phone - is odin seeing your phone?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Drew489:
No, windows is a POS. I've downloaded so many different drivers and each time I get an error saying it failed. I've literally tried every Captivate 64 bit win 7 driver out there, I downloaded KIES and tried that too.

I'm *really* close to dumping windows and android and just going full Apple. I am so sick of this crap and I've always hated Apple products (almost to the point of being extreme) but...if ya can't beat 'em, join 'em.

I've spent the better part of 2 days trying to get this to work and the main issue, from what I'm slowly finding out, is windows wont recognize the phone and keeps dumping it before it gets connected.

It's just really too much at this point. I can go buy *shudder* an iMac, an iPhone *double shudder* and I'll be up and running in 15 minutes.

F8ck this noise.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jslee1020:
Try this link for 64bit windows drivers.

Before you install, go to control panel, and delete all previous drivers.

Reboot your computer once before re-installing the drivers above.

http://http://www.mediafire.com/?3dh4d6up72me9re

I'm pretty sure you won't need to install .net framework for Odin to work.

But if after drivers it still doesn't work, try installing .net framework 4.0 as well. You will need that installed to root anyways.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devho:
Nope, ODIN does not recognize my phone. I've tried it a few more times using the correct sequence and got nothing. Even reinstalled the drivers and rebooted the PC (without my phone connected).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] devho:
Issue has been resolved. I tried it on a newer system running WinXP and got flashed back to stock with no problem... although the OTA update failed again.... but I've got the one-click version of that too.

Thanks for everyone's help!
[Streak 5 General] doubleburgerbarr:
After destroying my HD2 accidentally I received a Streak after claiming for a replacement (gold insurance). I was running Android on the HD2.

Disappointed to find it's only Android 1.6, I understood it came with 2.1 installed with a Froyo update imminent.

It's very important to me that I have my contacts, email and calendar syncing with my zarafa server (hosted on my website and managed by me).

It was a real downer to find activesync is not enabled on the Streak but at least there was touchdown to use for a trial period.

I filled in the correct details but no matter what I did Touchdown couldn't connect with my server, I kept getting an error (from "Refresh Activesync Settings") something about Policies and an error ":200" (I think as the problem is now resolved).

I could find the odd thing about this error after googling it, but no reports of fixing the problem.

After many hours of searching I decided to update my zarafa installation to see if that fixed the problem (I'm running 4.20) but before that I thought I'll upgrade z-push (easy bits first).

One upgrade of Z-push later, and a restart of zarafa and touchdown works a treat (contacts not showing up in the phone's main contacts but I assume that's just a setting).

In a nutshell if you get this error and youre using z-push try using 1.4.2 as that's what fixed it for me.

Hopefully this will help someone.
[Streak 5 General] derfele:
For me I had to set "loose-provisioning" to true for it to work with Touchdown.

But you should really think about upgrading Zarafa as there were several enhancement regarding Z-Push.
[Streak 5 General] doubleburgerbarr:
Probably, but the version I'm running offers everything I need and I'm a big believer in if it ain't broke don't fix it :).

I do know my version works fine with Froyo.

Having said all that I also like to tinker, and just backed up the db so maybe I'll have a shot at upgrading next week.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argnom:
Hello,

If I look in the sensors section of "Android System Info", it doesn't list a light sensor (I believe that the light sensor is used to dim the screen when it's dark). The thing is, I've seen the screen dim by itself before. If I put my hand on top of the phone (where the proximity sensor is located... I think...), the screen dims. If I remove my hand, the screen gets brighter.

Does the X10 have a light sensor or not? Is it possible that the light sensor is "hardwired" to the screen without "passing" through the OS to dim the screen?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lft4ded:
The light sensor on my X10 is to the left of the earpiece. To the right are the proximity sensor and further right is the notification led.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sl1nk3:
Since you can disable it in the settings, i don't think it's hardwired.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] argnom:

No prob.

Keep in mind, not all EVO's are created equal... But I get about 15 - 18 hours of moderate use with this combo. As the kernel already utilizes HAVS, the only profile on SETCPU I use is SCREEN OFF.

There is a 4.1.9.1 Universal kernel that works with most any ROM, but as long as the ROM is sense based I stick to the 4.1.9.1-CFS I linked in the above post.

Hey guys, I have a few questions about my phone and apps. I have an odd problem concerning widgets. It seems that I download an app and put a widget on my home screen and it works. The problem is when I restart or turn off the phone and go to place the.widget back in the place it was, the widget is not listed on the screen. So I have to reinstall the app to get the widget working again.

The other annoyance/problem is the updated facebook app, is a better one out there because with this one, when I click on things it takes me to the website...is there a better app out there? Otherwise ill just use my bookmark.

Also, I am running KF V36.

THANKS!
[Droid Eris Themes and Apps] hoovnick:
Check to make sure where your apps with widgets are being downloaded to. If they are being sent to the SD card, that's the problem. Not sure on the Facebook issue. I think some things will always be linked to the website (someone correct me if I am wrong).

[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I don't mean to be a killjoy, but I would like to point out that the way this press release is worded, I believe it ONLY applies to the I9000 model, which is the European Galaxy S. One reason I think that is because it states it will be available via Kies, which is not used for OTA distribution for the US versions. Also, every US version has unique features that have to be accounted for in developing the release.

Now, I'm not saying that we won't get Froyo in November, just that this press release from Samgung proves nothing in that regard. Due to carrier customizations, I'm waiting for a press release either directly from Verizon, or from Samsung that specifically mentions Verizon and/or the Fascinate by name.

[Fascinate General] ksizzle9:
Yeah no one can really come away from that with any facts. Just opinions. I mean they do state it will be Coming to all variants of the galaxy s. The problem is the use phrases like "we expect it to be to all carriers by the end of November" not "it will be to all carriers by........" so that's a little suspect. Like I said in my last thread ill ever write about froyo for this phone, its sad that they put some of the most potent hardware ever made with the ****tiest software ever and the normal lackluster Samsung amount of support. Due to the support I will not buy another Samsung phone. I can't remember exact dates I've had all of the last 5 major VZW phones they released on launch day.(D,DInc,DC, D2, and now fascinate) this phone came out almost a month after the D2 launched with froyo? If the Galaxy S is Samsung's flagship what were they doing with all this extra time they took to launch it after all of the other galaxy s phones. Again camera is great, camcorder is awesome screen is amazing, GPU is the absolutely best available in a mobile device, and the use RFS and this bull**** software and the topped it off with almost a year old software in eclair? Wtf. Ill be keeping this until LTE comes out. Praying that one of the first LTE phones that comes out isn't Samsung BC then ill be waiting long. Anyway. Rant off. Here's to hoping and praying we actually see froyo sometime, if anytime on our phones.
