There's a thread right above this thread that discusses two Mugen battery options. The 1800mah is around 40, from Mugen, but it's a higer capacity battery. You might be able to pick one up on eBay for cheaper. The other is a HUGE 4800mah battery. It's like 130 bucks.

If you still don't want to pay that much, you can get cheapo batteries on eBay.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Hi all,

I'm on Mac, and I already scripted an all in one root and recovery that works on Mac.

I'm interested in being able to flash a stock system without using odin, and am wanting opinions on whether the use of redbend_ua could be an alternative.

I realize that this most likely couldn't be used in download mode, but if I could get or make a solution that works for Mac and Linux, I'd be a happy camper, and I wouldn't feel the need to use bootcamp anymore! It seems to me that Odin might really only be necessary when an odin flash has screwed up.

Also, could the bin images located in the stock tar be used by redbend_ua? It would make things easier if that's possible. The stock tar also includes .rfs files for factory, data, and cache. I've read they can be seen using the mount command.

The other thing that might be a pain is that if the partitions were flashed separately, then a reboot would be required between each flash. I don't know of a way that multiple images could be flashed to each respective partition in one shot.

I'm willing to do some initial testing... as long as flashing just the system or recovery partitions by themselves and frakking them up won't prevent me from going into download mode and doing the odin thing.

Also, if you think the stock ROM provided by noobnl would serve this purpose, please let me know. Perhaps the only thing missing would be replacing clockworkmod with the stock recovery.

Any feedback and opinions from the devs here would be appreciated.

Thanks,

DRockstar
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
No opinions from any devs?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
It might work. Redbend can at least flash anything in /dev/block/bml*.

Try it out on one of your block devices and see. ;)
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Thanks for responding, firon. I'm trying to get a better understanding of the partition / block device map before continuing. I did see the post by noobnl listing them but I need clarification on some things.

I have at least found out how to backup the block devices using redbend, but initial file sizes suggest it could be accomplishing the same thing as:

cat /dev/block/bml8 > /sdcard/recovery.bin

Am I on the right on that?
[Epic 4G Android Development] Firon:
yep, though bml12 is write-only, so your backup will be empty. It's the modem.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Thank you, that's good to know.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Update: using the cat command to try to backup the dev block doesn't work.

Had to use redbend_ua dump, which works flawlessly.

I have tested now with the recovery partition, and the recovery.bin from the stock tar works with redbend.
[Epic 4G Android Development] DRockstar:
Update:

Do not run redbend restore with a rfs file, it will trash the partition.

I think I've done enough research to come up with a ROM for Mac and Linux users, I'll keep us posted.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jM2.me:
Hello,

Since I have rooted my myTouch 3G Slide I started to notice GPS problems.

But it's funny how some things related to GPS work, and some don't.

Examples:

- Weather: can determine my location perfectly and show weather from that region.

- Maps: can't determine my location, or shows it in completely random place, or maybe like 2-3 miles off. But now I just checked it works perfectly when plugged into usb (charge mode). But now if I unplug and use maps it will work perfectly. But sometimes it's just gay...

- Facebook Location: sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Pretty much same as maps

I have tried many roms and this happens on every rom there is.

Currently I am using stock rooted rom with su.

Possible thoughts: GPS doesnt work on full power when not plugged into usb and thats why it cant find location...

P.S. Off-topic question. Anyone knows good offline navigation with gps tracking?
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fermunky:
Are you using a Froyo ROM? And if so, did you upgrade to the latest radio? In my experience, anytime I switched to a ROM that changes a major version of the software, the radio had to be upgraded. The latest is 7.09 still I believe... The "randomness" of location working is probably because you're not waiting for a GPS lock. When maps shows you not exactly in the same place, it is not "random", it has located you based on the cell towers in your area, as a "calculated" approximate location. Think of "triangulation" that was popularly used in the movies when they would track a person via cell phone. Almost all the apps that can use your locations can use either location by GPS or location by network.
[myTouch 3G Slide Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jM2.me:
Hmm I never updated the radio cause I have had no idea what it is, but I will look into upgrading it. And hmm, maybe GPS doesnt work at all and those apps that work use network to figureout location.

But anyway I installed CoPilot and it worked great so far.

Lokking forward radio upgrade, and thanks for info :)

Not as much problems as you're having posting in the right section.

BOOOOOO-YAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaahhhhhh!!!!!!!!! :D

lol......j/k.....I couldn't help it. To answer your question: No, I haven't. All my rom/kernel/software info is in the sig. I've had an update/download hang on "starting download" before, but I'll just cancel the download and restart it and that usually fixes the hiccup. If not, it's nothing a quick reboot won't fix. Try clearing the data and cache from the market app.

P.S. If switching to WiFi solves the issue, it could be poor reception that is causing the said problems to happen. I get very poor 3G reception in the building I work in, and many things have problems working when I'm not on WiFi.

I can't explain why it works on work PC as it's a Mac running vmware. Only reason to use kies is maybe to sync with outlook to phone butvif you are using Gmail then you Don treally need it. The other thing kies does is auto convert media but it's slow and crap. To update roms Use Odin.

So I'm having a peculiar problem which doesn't appear to be specific to my model phone (which happens to be a Samsung Captivate).

I use Google Voice for my text messaging so I'm not sure when this started. But I'd like to be able to at least receive text messages that people try to send to my main number. But what happens now is that I see the message text appear in the notification part temporarily, but when I go into the stock SMS app all I see is a separate blank message from "5556" and always with a date of March 26 and a time of 12:19AM. The actual message doesn't appear anywhere but temporarily in the notification bar.

I've used APNdroid and QuickSettings in the past to disable 3G but leaving the "allow MMS" option checked. Neither is currently enabled but maybe they mess with settings somewhere?

And like I said, I have Google Voice installed too. Not sure what else could have messed with settings. My message center is set to "+13123149810".

5556 Message not Unique to Android or Google Voice

Hello there,

I'm new around here, but just found xda due to receiving a 5556 message myself. I have an android device, but not phone; my cell is a cricket Kyocera, and I just received this message from "5556",

What is significant about this to your issue? Well I unsubscribed to Cricket's text messaged ads, so it looks like this is a way to anonymously advertise with some plausible deniability, or something like that. Perhaps it is an advertising service, a third party, or other...in any case it is definitely anonymous, being neither a number nor a name. : ( If any here have a message to present, it would be appreciated, for that the more details we have, the better to figuring out what is going on. (In my case, perhaps even filing a legal complaint with the relevant authorities under the relevant statutes.)

If annoying enough, one could always go to a lawyer to seek a subpoena of a cellular carrier's records to find the source of communications, btw. Note I say going to a lawyer because IANAL and do not intend to give legal advice: I'm just cranky about unwanted spam having sat on waiting to talk to someone by the phone on my desk all day.

Resently I noticed that the time needed to connect to a remote server is getting bigger and bigger. I made an application that measures the time from sending a request to and getting a response from the server.

About 6 months ago I made a hard reset. At that time the server response took only 12 seconds, after 4 months it was 40 seconds. One month ago it was 55 seconds and now it is 65 seconds. I connect via gprs or 3G+, in both cases same result. I alwas use the same application that connects to the server.

The same situation is if I want to see www pages. No matter if I use IE or Opera browser and switch between http or socket connection. When I type the url address and click connect, approx. the first 50 seconds - nothing is happening, then an indication of data connection pops up at the top and the page is opening. After that when I connect to any different url address, the page opens very quickly.

I tried to delete cookies, temp files but with no effect. Something is apparently growing up in my device but don't know what. The time to connect for the first time is getting longer and longer/
