[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sulphur4724:
Pretty much anything you flash will overwrite whatever you have done to it anyway.

If you go to leaked froyo it is in Odin One-Click form and can be found in the development threads. You will also have to reenable side-loading, root, etc manually. It's all easy enough. Forum search is your friend!

Cognition, CDE or Deviant can be done using ClockworkMod or Odin. (not so one-click) If using ClockworkMod you'll need root. Odin is a bit more complicated but worth learning and doesn't require you be rooted as it does it's magic with your phone in download mode. These will all be rooted and side-load enable out of the box.

Your SDcard should remain intact if you don't master clear or format your SDcard. Two camps on this, one says YES! then other says "yawn." Your milage may vary.

Unlocking is trickier. Some say it lives through it, some have been "disappointed." (REALLY disappointed.) I'd search diligently if you require it.

I'd caution you to make sure you can do 3 button combos to get into recovery and download before you begin. And find your android_id and write it down. You'll be wanting that down the road.

Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PhrProfess:
Hello,

I'm running a stock i896 (Rogers) Captivate. I am on WinXP 32-bit (x86).

I'm having trouble mounting the device's internal storage. What I've tried to do is connect my phone in the following two ways:

-1. Connect USB cable; select from one of the phones three options in the phone's pop-up menu: Kies (Firmware update), Media player, Mass storage

-2. Enter phone's Settings menu, and enable the option: Applications -» Development -» USB debugging; connect USB cable.

Both methods yield the same result: I hear Windows notification sounds that indicate a USB device has been connected (so far so good), check My Computer, and find that I have two new drives listed (one for internal, one for external—I assume).

The problem is, in attempting to access either of the two new drives (both labelled non-descriptly: "Removable Disk (X:)", where X is one of two consecutive drive-letters), I get the message: Please insert a disk into drive X:. I know not what to do at this point; I have no MicroSD card, but I assume that I ought be able to access the devices internal SD card without too much hassle...?

I've tried three different driver-packages so far (with clean uninstall/installs in-between): two Samsung ones, and one that came bundled inside PDANet's setup-package. (PDANet allows for cabled-sharing of a device's internet connection. The included driver was recommended in another thread.)

I wonder if there's something simple that I have to do—some toggle, that I've overlooked.

I'm new to the whole 'Droid mobile scene, having come over recently from Apple iOS (and I'm never going back). I'd like to get this sexy beast loaded up, and replace my old portable media-player.

While we're at it, are there obviously-superior alternatives to the stock media applications? Specifically, I like smooth, functional, pretty-looking apps—ones that are simple, efficient, easily-usable, and comprehensive (you know: good ones). Just wondering.

Thanks

Thanks to PcFish for testing With Me.

To change the Unlock and Lock sounds in Cm6 Froyo for those who wanted to know :

1.Get two ogg files to make them out of.

To make your own just get what sounds you want and convert them at: media.io

Once you have the sounds you want reboot your device to recovery, mount into system and adb push the files to /system/media/audio/ui/

Id recommend cd'ing into the location to make things easier

So it will look like this

adb push Lock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/

adb push Unlock.ogg /system/media/audio/ui/

then reboot and enjoy.

Remember its Froyo only.
[myTouch 3G Slide Android Development] RavenWulf:
I'll have to remember this next time I get ready to flash another ROM, I like to unzip the ROM and do my mods before flashing.

[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
I'm not usually one to start a thread regarding customer service, but after my latest HTC encounter I felt it only fair.

Several months ago I managed to brick my Nexus One while flashing ROMs and themes. I called and was told I could either send it in for repair, or have a refurbished unit sent to me. I chose to have my device fixed since it is in mint condition, except for being bricked. They sent me a prepaid overnight shipping label and they had it for one week. They then shipped it UPS overnight and I had it back working perfect. Now, it was only rooted via one click root with the bootloader still locked and CM6 installed. It came back running the latest version of froyo and I simply re-rooted using one click root.

Me next experience was just this week. I ordered the car dock and it was shipped USPS and took four days to arrive. When I put my Nexus in the dock: nothing. Would not charge, pair, etc..nothing. I called and told them of the issue and they sent me a prepaid UPS overnight shipping label. I shipped it back and within 24 hours received notice that it had arrived at HTC, and a new dock was shipping. This time it was shipped UPS overnight! :) I received the new dock the next day and it is working perfectly.

The best part about HTC, IMO, is that a human answers the phone almost immediately. You have to listen to options for where your call should be directed, but a human always answers after that. It's always a friendly person who I can understand perfectly. I know others have had major issues with HTC customer service so I thought I should post regarding my good experiences just in fairness. I don't doubt others are having very real issues, I just wanted to post my good experiences. The one thing I will say is that I am ALWAYS extra nice so as to make sure the CSR doesn't get mad and bury my order or something.:D

The great build quality of the Nexus One and my customer service experiences is why I desperately want HTC to make any Nexus Two. :)
[Nexus One General] ap3604:
I've had nothing but great experiences with HTC too. I've had a problem where the last two swaps they sent me weren't able to properly make calls. I usually would be FURIOUS with this turn of events but HTC is so pleasent on the phone I couldn't be mad if I tried :)
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
Same with me...I was so pissed the damn dock wouldn't work I was ready to punch someone. However, when a rep answered the phone she was so nice I just couldn't be mad anymore. :D
[Nexus One General] ChongoDroid:
Wow that's awesome. I am glad to hear that you guys are so happy with them. I'm gonna buy the docks tomorrow
[Nexus One General] galaxys:
That's very good repair turn around! HTC ppc's have always rocked for me. :cool:
[Nexus One General] sorch:
Sorry to hijack the thread a bit, but you said that you didn't unlock the bootloader.

What is HTC like for people who DID unlock the bootloader, and experience an issue that is patently nothing to do with using a custom ROM?

(I can see why HTC might deny a warranty repair if you've burnt out your flash with the high-brightness mode in some apps, but I mean failures that can't be attributed to user stupidity + custom ROM)
[Nexus One General] pwig:
I unlocked my bootloader. My trackball started to not scroll down and nothing I tried would work. I called them and they sent me a replacement withhin days but its screen was kinda screwey and dark so I had them send me another replacement and it was two days later I had another one. I sent both defective phones back and never heard anything again. It is my opinion that they don't care about the bootloader if it is obviously hardware related.
[Nexus One General] izmar:
My experiences with HTC have also been good! They swifty replaced my nexus with a broken power button.

They even through in a new battery, new battery cover, and new headphones!

Nice people.
[Nexus One General] DarkDvr:
Thanks for sharing. IMO, a little too much complaining about HTC was going on lately. I always felt that HTC is an awesome company that makes high quality phones and I'm always glad when they post high profits. Especially when they are sticking it to Apple, who's always been a sneaky villain in my world.
[Nexus One General] Old MuckenMire:
It's funny you mention "high quality phones". My best friend is on USCellular and uses a BB Pearl. I've been bugging him about going Android for months and with the release of the Mesmerize, he decided it was time. Well guess what? He HATES the build quality of the Samsung and was drawn to the HTC Desire(which is almost a twin of the Nexus One except the Desire has a few hard keys). I explained the differences in software but it looks like he is going to go with the Desire based on the build quality! It was really hard to argue with his decision. The Mesmerize felt like a cheap piece of crap. He's not a gadget guy like me so he'll never miss the difference in software, etc... HTC makes some seriously sexy devices.

[Nexus One General] Kannibalism:
after playing around with the galaxy nexus for a while i had to trade it back in for a sensation since the nexus felt like cheap plastic in my hand compared to the sensation i wish google will stop samsung from creating the nexus devices and give it back to HTC :)

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
The issues with the app appear kernel related, which means we'll likely be at the mercy of source releases unless someone gets very lucky. If it's any consolation people are having issues getting it to work on the G2...

Most likely by the time it's "fixed" for the G2, and the MT4G is actually available the solution will be imminent.

maybe you should read the OP.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] msnuser111:
it works in the rom leak for the N1 too,if anyone wants to try porting it. it's the MT4g rom ported to the nexus,it's in their android development section.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dcchristopher:
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by WiFi calling (VOIP, SIP or something completely new and/or different all together) but Skype now works using the JP* Froyo builds out there. The only thing is it restricts you to WiFi only if it detects that you're in the US.

I hope that helps.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] explodingboy70:
This is kind of like the wifi calling that Blackberrys have but different. Say you are out of a network area maybe out of country or in my wife's case at work in a hospital if you have wifi access then this app will allow you to make calls over TMobiles network using your plan minutes. This is not free calling nor will you be able to switch back and forth. If you are on a call using the wifi app and you leave the range of the wifi signal your call will be dropped.

There is another thread in Themes and Apps that has the apk. I have it on my vibrant but I don't think TMobile has released it fully, kind of like Media Hub was at first, so right now I haven't heard that it's operational for anyone with any phone.

Oh and I've heard people spreading rumors that you'll have to pay 9.99 a month but according to tmobile's website it will be free as you will be using your own minutes. Here is a link to the official tmobile Wifi cslling Faqs page http://support.t-mobile.com/doc/tm24195.xml

wifi calling will be awesome for out of the country calling!!!!

I can keep the same number, and same calling rates!!!!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
VoIP using Google Voice+Sipgate+SipDroid

So if you want to do free VoIP calling (not using your T-mobile voice minutes) within the USA you

1) Get a Google Voice account (if you don't already have it)

2) Get a free Sipgate account (gives you a phone number that can be called)

3) Get SipDroid to conenct to your Sipgate account

This is what you do

Setup your Sipgate account.

Install Sipdroid to your phone and connect to Sipgate

- set your Sipdroid to only be on when you are on WiFi

Setup your google voice to forward to your Sipgate phone number

When you make outgoing phone calls use your google voice

Voila! You now have unlimited incoming and outgoing phonecalls through GoogleVoice and Sipgate over your WiFi.

Technically you could do this over 3G as well. Not sure how the quality is though. :)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nacron:
I just signed up for sipgate, but they only offer 60 free minutes with the free account.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swehes:
Is that free outgoing minutes? If you utilize Google Voice what happens is that Google Voice first calls your Sipgate account and then calls the person you call. Which means that your call with be an incoming, which makes it free. You have to utilize Google Voice for this however to work properly.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] motorjonny:
Wifi calling does indeed work on the mytouch 4g, I have one. I think it will be a part if the froyo update on the vibrant... The kineto developers made a comment that the feature/app is for froyo

JUST OUT: T-Mobile G2 To Get Wi-Fi Calling Update Starting Tomorrow!

Posted at 8:31 pm UTC, November 02nd, 2010 by David, Managing Editor

Owners of the T-Mobile G2 have been left wondering when or if they might be graced with the goodness that is Android Wi-Fi calling. Well wonder no more as T-Mobile will officially start sending out on OTA update starting tomorrow, November 3rd to November 8th G2 owners will receive the Android Wi-Fi calling feature. Of course included in the Wi-Fi calling feature is the tethering option as well. Not sure what the deal is with the little italicized line regarding not offering a tethering plan, pretty sure they do since you know, it was just announced. Hey, can’t win em all right!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
Hey guys, so ive been getting used to my milestone, and ive figured out how to put the update.zip folder in my SD card and ican get to the boot screen, but when i try to update it always, gives me the same error E:/Verification Failed or soemtihng and it says Installation Aborted!

is there any way around this? would prefer official moto 2.2 froyo instead of using a custom rom since im not experianced with flashing and what not any help??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
You have to flash the vulnerable recovery in order to be able to apply the update.zip

here it is:

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] J W:
Hey guys got some questions down the same line of thought. I have a milestone and a hero. On the hero I installed rom manager from the market and downloaded a few roms and then transfered them to the sd card and loaded them with the rom manager. And it works. But when I tried that with the milestone I get the same error. I can not figure out what I am doing wrong!!! I am on cellular south network and wonder if that is the problem but I dont think so. Can you load roms through the rom manager on the milestone? Thanks in advance I am still learning.!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] faugusztin:
Well, CDMA Milestone is a tricky question. It should be exactly same as Droid except the name, the question is if you rooted the phone ?

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=7902606&postcount=4

You simply have to work as if you have a Droid, not Milestone - as your phone is equal to Droid and very different to Milestone sold in other countries.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
hey the milestone is from telus canada unlocked to use it for GSM fido, but the other issue is that its not the same as Droid because for i.e droid you need 2 press "x"a nd power button to go into recovery meny, for milestone you need to press camera key and power button to go into that recovery... also how would i go about flashing the vulnerable recovery??
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] vladstercr:
1. Install your motorolla drivers

2. Install rsd lite

3. Get the vuln recovery from the link I posted above and extract it

4. Turn off your phone

5. Boot into the bootloader (Power Button + Dpad Up)

6. Connect your phone to computer via usb

7. Start Rsd Lite

8. Flash the vulnerable recovery sbf file
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] faugusztin:
Yeah, i was answering to "J W". Even if you both have Motorola Milestone, J W's Milestone is a Droid with different name, your Milestone is a true Milestone. That's why i redirected J W to the Droid way ;).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
hey thanks for the step by step i flashed it and im still gettin gthe same error message :S

my file is named update.zip (not .zip.zip but just .zip) and its not working!! really frustrating
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
Follow this guide exactly (make sure you download the correct NON-service vulnerability SBF for your region): http://android.modaco.com/content/m...m/308422/milestone-2-1-update-and-root-guide/

The instructions are pretty much the same as what Vlad has been saying, but they are a lot more detailed and outline some of the same problems that many of us international Milestone users have experienced with rooting.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
Hey guys i did this and all this managed to do is reset my phone to factory settings.. i still cant update to 2.2 :( i flashed it and everything im getting same errors!!!
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
Once you root it, and make sure that you root it correctly like here: http://android.modaco.com/content/m...m/308422/milestone-2-1-update-and-root-guide/

Use the ADB recovery method to flash the image. Don't just update, but do a recovery of your custom ROM.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
dude i dont know how to flash it :( i dont know how to make nandroid its so complex :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
Follow the guide above. Once that is accomplished, watch this video:

http://theunlockr.com/2010/03/29/how-to-load-a-custom-rom-on-the-motorola-milestone-using-nandroid/

Make sure that you actually have root access first before trying to load a custom ROM. Check if you have root access by downloading Titanium from the Market.

It took me several hours - had to repeat the initial root about 4 times to get it right - but it works for sure.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
dude wow worked : D but my question is now, i only could upgrade to 2.2.1 GOT one. Is it because Telus Milestone is locked bootloader or something and wont let me flash, i tried to flash to motofrenzy but it would install and get stuck on boot at teh Droid and the eye thing :S

Also is milestone capable on running on WIND 3G, what if i installed European SBF??

btw thanks so much, does this forum have a "rep" system?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
You can't flash the radio frequencies because the hardware just isn't there. I have an international 900/2100 version, so do you want to trade? :D

All of the Milestone ROMs on here work, even the Moto Frenzy one, but you have to do a recovery instead of a clean flash like the GOT version. Personally, I'm loving the GOT ROM. It seems to give better battery life than the others that I've tried and is pretty fast.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
i tried to flash it like the links you gave me and it just gets stuck on start up (usually the Android thing, but MotoFrenzy gets stuck on the droid Eye, and dont get me wrong i liek the GOT but i dont know how to apply the fixes :()
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] applebook:
Applying the fixes is easy. Just install the ROM again. This time, reboot the phone again after it auto-reboots when the installation finishes.

Now, upon 2nd reboot, you should get the "Welcome to Milestone" screen. Reboot into recovery and go into the GOT update and apply the root, then the fixes.

My Moto Frenzy installation only worked after I rebooted the phone several times. It can take a few minutes to get past the Droid eye logo.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ed116:
Which GOT Update?? i only downloaded the SBF thing off that website, there was no "fixes" but i was reading about them..

I tried it and i left the phone on nothing happned just stuck in boot loop, treid to manually reset it and nothing worked, updated to GOT 2.2.1, and rooted with Universal Androot
