[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
I am on Cog beta 5.5 with 2e recovery kernel, I swapped the kernel myself before DG updated. It has working GPS and it is pretty zippy, I am not noticing lag. I was going to flash beta 8 last night but there were some modem issues and people losing 3g. Then 8.1 came out and I read the changelog and it isn't much different from my setup. I didn't go to beta 7 because Tw Launcher was removed and you need that for Kies to see your phone so that's a no go. Shep is using an I9000 kernel and I don't want to mess with I9000. I liike to flash my phone but I need to use it as a phone. I have tried some ROMS that I didn't think worked as well so I stick with what has worked best for me. I have all the mods on it, stock lock screen, battery circle mod, and gps works. I may try AOSP this weekend but I work all week not at a computer and I can't just flash all day. I find that things can go wrong and it takes time to reconfigure apps and contacts and if anything goes wrong it sould take a while to fix and I haven't had time to mess with it this week. I see you are still on 2.1, that is patience. I tried out Froyo and when gps worked for the first time ever since having the phone I'm sticking with Froyo. I am waiting for Voodoo to make ot to 2.2 then it will be perfect.

Also, I forget to edit my signature if i only try something for a day or two. I was on Froyo for a few before i remembered to change my sig.

Alright, Jesus I get it, I didn't do my homework; repeating it over and over isn't going to help any more. Thank you for the info, I'm downloading the right Odin right now and I'll do the fixes you said.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan062984:
It's all good. I was just curious, that's all. As far as the 19000, that makes two of us. I tried it, hoping that the voodoo + OCLF combo would work.......WRONG! lol

When 7 came out and i too noticed the TW removed, i thought Everyone would take a plunge into that, since many have complained that TW i/o was just unbearable. Oh well. As far as everything else you mentioned, i feel the same way.

Edit: "I9000" :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
I know you were curious, I figured I would just tell you my story. I froze Tw Launcher with TIBU for now, I've used Launcher Pro for months and didn't wanmt a second running in the backround, i will unfreeze it when I need it. Yeah, I try stuff anf when it doesn't work the way I need i go back to what works. I've been using DG's stuff since SRE and I update when it is a better package for my needs, so far his stuff works for my needs. I want Voodoo though, lol. Sory to hijack the thread, lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Again, sorry if I sounded harsh, i am just trying to help you get out of the mess you're in. You can flash Froyo in the future you just need to learn about these ROMS and fixes so you don't have these kinds of headaches. I will stop repeating now. i really hope this works. I know your stressed and wasn't trying to give you a hard time, I just thought you were missing something and I am from NY and we are pushy :) Let us no if you get it working.

I have made some mistakes along the way too and it was because I didn't read the instructions clearly so I do understand how you felt.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spartan062984:
""Sory to hijack the thread""

I started it. No worries. I too would love to have voodoo. So far, with stock OS, ext2 + OCLF seems to work for me....for now. Keep in mind that i too would like to have the functionality of a Phone. That was my intention in the first place...lol.

[Epic 4G Accessories] scriz:
Looks almost identical to the Sprint case that I have, except the back of the one from Sprint is checkered.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Ill go by the sprint store and compare thickness, texture, and clip positions when I get a chance this week. I think its thiner though from the last time I looked at that case.
[Epic 4G Accessories] therealgorgan:
I have been using this case for 2 weeks now, and I have zero complaints! I bought a screen protector with Seido as well, and both products are great! Well worth the money. Before that I had purchased a ZAGG InvisibleShield until I found that Seido had released their case. The ZAGG shield is thick/bulky, and not very easy to install. I highly recommend this Seido case.
[Epic 4G Accessories] JettMartinez:
What made you decide on this over the Active-X? I'm debating that choice myself but haven't really found a good way to make a comparison.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Well it was a hard choice, but after seing some pics of the active x, I noticed it looked twice the thickness of this case. So I went with the thiner option. Plus its 21 bucks on amazon
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Lol I put a section on that above... anyways. Back is easy to remove, front bezel not as easy.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
can ya describe in detail how it is though?
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Well, the tabs for the top portion of the case are much thinner, meaning you have to be more careful not to just pry, or they could break off more eaisly than the bottom half of the case. There is also very little play or gap on the top half or bezel of case compared to the battery half of case, so it is harder to get a fingernail under the clips. The third reason, one clip, on each side of the top bezel is easy to get to while the other, on each side, clip is underneith the keyboard section, so its hard to unclip it without prying, which might break it. If you don't have fingernails and are not very gentel, I think it would be super easy to break.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
How bout for the bottom? Whats the fastest way to remove it safely? I ask cuz i have exra bateries i will use when im away for a long period

sent from my epic 4g with no 4g
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
the bottom left tab first then the bottom right. Super fast and easy provided you have a thumb fingernail.
[Epic 4G Accessories] churro7:
thank you this will help
[Epic 4G Accessories] therealgorgan:
Removing the case is easy! Its best to take the back cover off by pulling it off from the top of the phone, then pull off the original back cover.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Spunkzz:
Excellent post. and an excellent product, but i'm not a fan of cases. if anyone is interested in a maroon seidio case for the epic. please pm me. i've also posted in the marketplace.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Bigjim1488:
I think the case will scratch the phone after time being that there is no felt lining inside of the case. I just took epic out of its case and noticed some light rubbing marks after about 3 weeks. I feel a lot more confident with the active x case I have now
[Epic 4G Accessories] chino0131:
I love seidio cases. However, after using the Innocases made for slider phones (like this one for the Epic, or the similar one for the Pre), i noticed that the parts without felt would scuff the phone after awhile, and eventually the tabs do break off. That said, Seidio has always been good about replacing every case of mine for free where tabs have broken off, no questions asked.
[Epic 4G Accessories] imtjnotu:
Don't like it..it fits too lose and creeks and left a few scratches on the top portion of the phone
[Epic 4G Accessories] roomshaped:
I have the black case too for my epic. It feels pretty good in the hand, but I have to add another nods to this:

The back part of the case definitely doesn't fit very tight for me. It is loose enough to slide a little, and on a phone which already likes to wobble a bit it feels odd now and then.

Also yes - you can press a finger lightly in the middle of it near the flash, and it makes a creaking sound as it flexes.. very annoying. ;)

I tried folding a small piece of paper to put inside too, and even a very thing pieces seemed to make the case not fit correctly at the clips so I don't think it is correctable.

Overall it isn't that big a deal - apart from that minor annoyance the case looks and feels good to me. It does make the phone a lint magnet though, I am always blowing aroudn the front lip to get dust off after it rides around in a pocket for awhile. Any case does that tho, especially textured ones..
[Epic 4G Accessories] Comando156:
Placing paper behind it worked for me, I had to play around with the thickness of the folded paer to get it right. And yea it sure does attract lint, I find it attracting the lint to my screen way more than if the phone did not have the case on it. So I'm having to cleen the screen way more often.
[Epic 4G Accessories] tonysohn:
Got mine over the weekend. So far loving it.

I haven't noticed any misfit of the back panel.

They might have updated the case? :confused:
[Epic 4G Accessories] kenvan19:
Just got an Innocase (Ash Grey) and it is light years better than the one I bought from the sprint store. Its simply beautiful and it feels great without adding much bulk at all. Absolutely fantastic.
[Epic 4G Accessories] husher:
i have to same case, it scratched the black paint behind the screen.
[Epic 4G Accessories] Mighty442:
I have the blue version of this case, I haven't had any problems with scratches or it being loose. It's thinner then the case Sprint sells and any of the cases that have graphics on them from Amazon.
[Epic 4G Accessories] riceknight:
This case is garbage. I was actually pleased with the fit and didn't have as much jiggle as some users. The problem is that after a month of light usage, I got scratches on the top of the left and right side of the phone near the display. Keep in mind I only kept the phone in my pocket with nothing else.

My guess is that small dust or whatever gets stuck between the case and phone and just keeps rubbing very hard since the inside of the case isn't padded at all.

Hey guys,

I really like the legend's low battery noise and i'd like to use it for my SMS ringtone (weird, I know, but it's subtle and simple). Anyway, apparently I can't get to it if I'm not rooted, and I'm not rooted cause I can't be bothered.

Could someone help a brotha out? Free pie if you do.

[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Just some input about keeping the Vibe lit up and happy. I went with a battery two-pack from ebay, which of course incl the wall charger and other accy's. Mostly good reviews on these kits, which usually run around $32 or so...believe Amazon shows them as well.

I numbered these additional batts 1 and 2 for my reference, and for the most part, I don't concern myself about which of my (now three) batts is in the phone. I've been rotating them around for about 2 months now, only changing them out on the phone (when nesc. to) complete a daily session. Quite honestly, l am getting fully satisfactory performance from each of them.

If I pull a battery from the phone it goes into the wall charger, which noticeably gives a long and deep charge. I keep the charged spares arranged side-by-side on a table with the older charge to the right - both tucked away in the padded bags they came in. For a change-out, grab batt on right and replace it with (newer charge) batt to it's left. It's a simple rotation, and the spent batt goes to wall charger. Once or twice a week I'll run a cell down to zero, and a wall charger might spend 6 or 7 hours on a charge from fully spent. No battery stat wipes or other special tasks applied.

That's a good charge... I've had these 'wall charged' batts sit for a week or so and still show a true 100% after install. Maybe just lucky, but I'm all smiley with the kit, which also includes a car charger.

Not rooted, but for now I'm going with the "after ji6" advice on shutting down any Mediahub (drm,et) services on a fresh boot. Thankfully they usually don't restart too often.

Shrug - it's all good...
[Vibrant General] Deathsnapper:
I've been doing the same thing with my Cliq since I got it (waiting for Vibrant in the mail ;)). It's great.

It was actually a huge selling point for me, and one of the various arguments I use to back up my choice of an Android phone over an iPhone, the ability to easily (and quickly) change batteries. I wanted to A) be able to "charge the phone" without ever making it difficult to use (plus I'm extremely forgetful, so I'd rather not have to plug it in every night) and B) be able to carry spares for when I'm away from the house for extended periods (or again, if I forget to charge!)

It's excellent. Totally weird, but really practical. I've already ordered a couple extra batteries and a charger for the vibrant, and I don't even have the phone yet! I just don't know how I would feel going back to plugging the phone in every day.
[Vibrant General] Shack544:
Batts, rotate 'em around

I agree with "excellent" and disagree with "totally wierd".

My edit, ok?

I enjoyed your reply, as it's all about learning some fun tricks with this phone. Most of what we know comes from someone else

Notes: build quality on these batts is presumably lower than the original, but I don't recall any damages reported as result of their use.

For 32 bucks I have what I need, when I need it..

Pssst ... you're gonna love the Vibrant screen.

Also, I highly rec you order a user rated gelcase thru the usual channels. Hardcases are awesome, if you don't need to access the batt.

The stock Vibrant is a slippery Eel, Imo.

My current is $4.95 (don't quote me) thereabouts thru amazon - that's delivered. Smoke colored gelcase from Hong Kong and it took about 18 days transit. Most importantly, read the user comments before buying. Look for mentions of good fit, et.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanstapler:
This might not be bricked, but if it isn't it must be as close as it can get. I flashed my phone back to stock 2.1 yesterday, and today when I tried to flash to cognition 8.1 it got stuck on "<ID:0/005> boot.bin" for a half hour. I unplugged it, and now my phone is stuck on the picture in the attachment.

- I can't get my computer to even pick it up with USB. Nothing happens at all.

- The only time it turns off is when I hold power, volume up, and volume down. Even then, it immediately boots right back into that picture. Nothing else happens.

- I can't get into download mode.

- When I remove the battery, it goes right back to this screen.

What can I do?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
Happened to me earlier.

Do the following to get into download mode:

1) take out battery

2) put in battery

3) hold the vol up and vol down keys, then plug in the USB cord.

It will boot into download mode. Then try do what you were doing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanstapler:
This hasn't worked before, but I went ahead and tried it again. It still just goes straight to the black screen with that picture in the center.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stuff:
Hmm.

Well, I'm sure one of the 3 methods posted in the odin3 thread, on how to get to download mode, should work.

For me, it was the volume up and down buttons together, then plugging in the usb. It would turn on automatically and go straight to download mode.

Look under your battery below the serial numder of you phone and see if your batch is 1008. If it is those batches don't go into download mode. Send your phone in for waranty repair.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evanstapler:
I don't see 1008 at all. I've booted into download mode before, even using the three button combo, I just can't now.

Would AT&T even cover this? Will they know I was tampering with stuff I shouldn't have?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Have you tried running Odin as administrator? Uninstall and reinstall the drivers for Odin. Keep trying, remove SIM, battery and external, hold the volume buttons only and plug phone in, keep trying, it should work. Blame the OTA for the "brick" and send it for warranty if you can't get Odin to work.

Wow that's interesting. I also have a batch 1008 and when I flash with odin it's fine. But after every time I flash to stock jf6 I lose 3 button combo and just reinstall the fix zip using clockwork.

oh forgot to mention that my iphone has no issues with the mail being pushed to it
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] cajunflavoredbob:
If you are having your device connect every 5 minutes, this is not push e-mail. This is called pull e-mail. Push is when the server side sends the mail to the device. Pull is when the device connects, checks and grabs new mail. Pull is more resource intensive and drains the battery much faster as a result. Push isn't determined by the device you are using, but by the service you connect to. If your exchange account isn't supporting push, then the device won't either.

As for your iPhone doing push, it isn't the same. Apple maintains an IMAP connection to the mail account for you on their servers and push new mail to you when they see it.

This is a VERY simplified explanation of what actually happens, but hopefully you understand. An easy alternative to having a similar push experience to your iPhone is to use SEVEN. It works in the same manner I described. They check your e-mail for you, and push it to your device when new mail arrives.
