[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisctb:
So ive had this replacement phone from sprint for about two weeks and its worked perfectly!

Last night i started realizing its not charging. The led lights up, it says charging, but the % stays the same or goes down....

I was using MIUI and thought there was maybe a problem so i did nand backup to CM6.1

I've done a battery pull, wiped everything, any other ideas?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Does it charge when the phone is off?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] chrisctb:
No I tried last night and the % actually went down by 2% i think. The light comes on though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] surrealmethod:
Seems like your charging port is bad if it won't charge when its turned off.

Sprint should be able to change it for you as its a hardware defect as long as there isn't obvious signs that your phone was dropped in that area.

If Sprint doesn't want to change it for you then either use insurance or purchase some batteries on Ebay that come with a charger and swap out batteries when you're running low.

Try flashing a stock ROM and see if it still occurs. I had the same problem with ROMs other than stock.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jgal:
Hello Dear Community!

I am now preparing to dump my ****ty HD2 which is driving me crazy and move on to Desire Z. I've never used Android before. The Desire Z will surely attract more n00bs like me;), so I guess it would be a good thing to start a sticki HOWTO thread for n00bs. Every popular Android device has a thread like that, so DZ must too!!! As for current progress, I am aware that full rooting is not yet possible, but flashing ROMs is already possible, right? So Can someone start a n00b HOWTO thread with detailed n00b FLASH HOWTO guide, and of course then expand it with other stuff like root, when its available. If this is a double thread, please forgive me, point me to the right thread and delete this one:) Thanks!
[G2 and Desire Z General] mt3g:
I wish........
[G2 and Desire Z General] gtrab:
Don't worry mates,

the Desire Z is no exception and you can bet you WILL get your tutorial !!

It's just too early to ask for it, because development is just starting

First, we need permanent root (Luckily enough, our mates @ sibling G2 forums are very advanced on this shizz).

Then, a tweaked bootloader.

From there on it will be sweet flashing whores paradise :D

PS: Keep an eye @ android development forum
[Wildfire General] Matticus94:
I'm really wanting to root my Wildfire but just as I was away to download I thought that there might be a problem. So my question is:

My Wildfire is supplied by a carrier (specifically 3 in the UK) and presumably locked to said carrier, will I need to make a goldcard or anything like that before rooting it with Unrevoked or installing CyanogenMod?
[Wildfire General] sorahedgehog:
To root the Wildfire, you don't need a gold card to do that.

But to install a custom rom, you will need to create a gold card.

If you look in this forum, there's a nice tutorial that takes you thru step-by-step on how to create a gold card.
[Wildfire General] Matticus94:
So to install CM I'll need to make a goldcard?

I've looked up some information on it and all the guides mention Windows computers, I only have Mac and Linux boxes in my house, is there anything I can do?
[Wildfire General] sorahedgehog:
I'm not sure if you can actually make one without a windows machine.

I'm quite new to this Android thing myself.

And funnily, I also own a Mac - and no, not going back to Windows anytime soon! ><

Anyways~ what I did is run Windows via Parallels Desktop.

Something to keep in mind when you do install a Custom rom on your HTC. Is that, when you want to revert back to the original/stock rom. The packages that HTC release are for Windows. So you will need to run those packages under Windows to revert back to the stock rom.

P.S. If anything I said is incorrect, can someone please correct me. Ta.
[Wildfire General] Elibongo:
You don't actually need a goldcard to install a custom ROM - it's only if you need to use an older RUU.
[Wildfire General] Matticus94:
Thanks for all the help guys :).

Gave it a try and it worked fine :D. But I reverted back to my backup I made and I'm gonna keep it like that until I have a full day when I can install and play around with CM fully.
[Wildfire General] .Harshit:
Dont forget to take nandroid backup first before you root

[G2 and Desire Z General] ayewhy:
How well does it work for video or audio calls? Has anybody tested it all?
[G2 and Desire Z General] CarlGalgano:
I tried it last night. Made about a 10 minute call using Skypeout to a landline and it worked great. The call was very clear. It was audio only..... is there a video client for android?
[G2 and Desire Z General] john boot:
I've used the official Skype app which seems to work fine so far (it does not have vid chat option, but also there is no front facing cam on the desire z)
[G2 and Desire Z General] trendz:
Works great so far for chat and voice.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xerawx:
Chat works fine, voice chat seemed to work fine the one time I've tried it so far although the person I was calling couldn't seem to sort out their microphone situation (common problem :rolleyes:) so I couldn't hear them, but apparently they could hear me fine. Fring also seems to work pretty well, I decided to take a $10 chance on their FringOut service to test that out, since the price is quite competitive vs SkypeOut..only 0.6c/minute for Canadian calls. After about 5-10 minutes into the call it started to get really choppy, but I think that may have had more to do with the shared and heavily used internet connection I was on than Fring. I have heard mixed reviews about it though. Skype seems like the more reliable choice still.
[G2 and Desire Z General] CarlGalgano:
A little off topic, but I have tried many different VoIP solutions over the years. Vonage works ok, but is a bit pricey. Lately Ive tried Google new calling from Gmail on my laptop and was disappointed with the results. I finally decided to spend some money on Skypeout ($3/month subscription and a skype in number $30/year with a subscription). So for a total of $60/year I feel like I have a great solution that I can use on my laptop or on my mobile (android). In gereral skype to skype sound good. skype to landlines sound good IF you use a headset (I have a digital one) but lousy without a headset. Skype to skype and skype to landlines works very well on android and very good on the DZ.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ayewhy:
Edit: This discussion is already Active. Please see "[DISCUSSION] Desire Z with 800MHz = No upgrade to Android 3.0 (gingerbread) !?!?" for further Discussion. Thank You. ~TheRomMistress

Will the HZ be compatible with the next Android release? I remember reading minimum CPU speed needed is 1.0GHZ. Will the overclock be of any help towards this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] steviewevie:
The 800 MHz processor in the DZ is faster than the 1 GHz processors of the previous generation (e.g. Nexus One).

So it seems highly unlikely to me that the DZ won't be able to handle it, and that the current 2.2 release would be the last one for a brand new phone.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kerbdog0:
Since Gingerbread (Android 2.3) is coming to the Nexus One in the coming week(s), expect it on the DesireZ eventually. When is the question rather than if.

ok ok I know the ODIN thread says to remove sim , I did so many mods yesterday I guess (not even sure it did ) got forgotten inside on one occasion, I tought all was good tho , until I tried to send sms (from my everyday phone ) , it didint work can receive them and all the rest works without a problem ..

I did the one click jf6 then flash back jg8 modem then reverted back to my rogers modem ..

long story short can I fix what /I messed up ?

googled but no luck ..

sim is pretty cheap but I like to break my head a bit ./.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianwood:
Your SIM should have nothing to do with it. ODIN won't do anything to your SIM AFAIK. Removing the SIM while flashing has something to do with writing the modem files properly. Again AFAIK. If you can't send SMS but can receive them it is likely your SMSC address is wrong or empty. Look under Messaging -> Settings. Get the correct setting from anyone else who is on the same network as you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joshtheitguy:
T-Mobile replaced my phone after several pixels went dead but the screen on my new replacement screen is bothering me more then the few dead pixels on the last. Looking at it in portrait mode there is a faint green line going all the way down the screen and in landscape mode it is worse. At first I though it might have been a natural thing but on text and videos you can see that green line streaking across everything.

Anyone else have this?

Am I being too particular?

Did T-Mobile send me a lemon?

Should I call and complain?

I ask because I really do not remember a green line of any kind on my original phone and the line is very distracting.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] deecampp:
I'm not an expert by any means, but if it were me, I would try using Odin to reinstall stock software. If that doesn't fix the problem, then I would absolutely call T-Mobile and let them know. Not only do you deserve a replacement that is free of problems, but I am sure that anyone at T-Mobile will agree. Just make sure they don't charge you shipping again, since I am assuming you paid already to ship this faulty replacement. For the cost of these expensive phones, that is the least they can do for you.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] orells:
replace it, ive never known a rom to give you a green line in your screen, NEVER! I've also never ever paid for shipping for a warranty replacement. When they ask me I say, I bought the device and it's defective, Wal-Mart doesn't charge me to exchange an item, and neither should you. They always comp the shipping. If they want me to pay a shipping charge then they should give me the option to exchange in store, since you don't have a choice. refuse to pay. It's not your fault a $500 device is defective. (P.S. 3 exchanges within 90days gives you the option to choose another device.)
[myTouch 4G General] robxfinch:
Am I missing something or is this option disabled? I can use the wifi hotspot but I believe that is going to become a paid feature with t mo in the future. Will visionary allow me to use the usb option?

Thanks
[myTouch 4G General] ESKIMOn00b:
Usb and WiFi tether are both already baked in... they are free till the 14th when the package becomes avail for 15$

You won't have free baked in tether after the 14th unless we get full root with custom roms... pdanet should still work
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
How ill they disable tethering and Hotspot after that date ?

Will rolling back to original 2.2 ROM get around it (as the 2.2.1 update was supposed to include provisions for TMo to control it)?
[myTouch 4G General] robxfinch:
Yea that's what I don't understand. How exactly is tmo going to disable this on the 14. Still though I can't enable usb tethering...

Sent from my HTC Glacier
[myTouch 4G General] gaww:
You should check and see if the USB Debugging is checked on. If so, you cannot connect or tether.
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
Probably not. We already have (temporary) root. Whatever they do to "enable" tethering can be accomplished with an app or script on a rooted device.

My plan is to take an image of the entire device before subscribing to the tether service, then again afterwards. A simple diff between the two should tell us where the tether bit is being set.

On a related note, I can't for the life of me get the built-in wifi tether to work on multiple machines (mac, windows, linux.) It seems like dnsmasq is not dishing out dhcp replies properly. Can anyone confirm that tethering is working - both USB and WiFi??
[myTouch 4G General] HamNCheese:
Well, since they have added a bunch of "crap" to the tether procedure, that's probably how they are going to disable it. The phone probably checks online with tmo if you have the service enabled, and refuses to work otherwise.

Stock froyo has a checkbox and settings. No "Loading..." and "wizard" crap. It just works.

This is fairly trivial to exploit - all one has to do is execute the "up" script with another application and it's done.

EDIT: Note that root enabled devices will still be able to use the google code android tether app, regardless of what Tmo puts in the "baked-in" tether feature.

To get the usb tethering to work you have to plug in the usb cable to the phone, then go to wireless settings, usb tethering ask the way at the bottom should be highlighted now so just click on it. If your phone isn't plugged into a usb cord then to the computer, you won't be able to click on it. How this helps

This makes Samsung look lazy..
[Captivate General] hawkeyefan:
Gingerbread landing on Google's own developer phone prior to every other handset makes Samsung look lazy?
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
Because Samsung has yet to launch 2.2 on their own "premiere" Galaxy S line of phones.

Of course, this is my opinion.

2.2 has been released officially since May 2010.

Droid X was released July 15th, with Android 2.1

Android 2.2 was pushed OTA to Droid X on September 22, 2010

Samsung Captivate was released July 18th with Android 2.1... still no Froyo

I'm not complaining. I'm stating my opinion...

And now.. 2.3 is coming out and I think most of us would agree. If the N1 can handle 2.3, so can the Captivate, the whole Galaxy S line.

So yes.. lazy.. because now they will have to start working on a release for 2.3 and they haven't even finished a 2.2 release. You and I already know Motorola is on top of this.

Maybe lazy isn't the best choice of words.. but.. whatever. I think you get my point.
[Captivate General] hawkeyefan:
Ah, in relation to Froyo, gotcha. I agree to a certain extent.
[Captivate General] life2monkeys:
I highly doubt we will see an official 2.3 release...
[Captivate General] mymansionisabox:
Yeah haha. I mean I'm not bashing Samsung. I'm just in fear that they might be a bit over their heads now.

They basically are going to have to stay in constant development with this.. They haven't finished 2.2 yet and now 2.3 is about to be released.

I fear that our phones will be left behind FAR before they really should be.

Idk.. I'm a pessimist a guess.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
That's strange...last few time I talked with the Galaxy people at Samsung..it was told to me that 2.2 has been finished at all of the Carriers for some time..This makes this very confusing for me to say the least. Is it really Samsung at fault...or the carriers that are at fault with all of the delays of releasing the 2.2 update stateside ? Is it the us based carriers that are adding to it to be able lock the phones down and change things around on it..or Samsung ?

I can understand where folks are saying Android is fragmented if the carriers are causing this, but I don't understand why there can't be unified coding across all manufacturers lines when it comes to the os of Android.After all isn't it based off of ASOP and Linux and isn't that supposed to be all open source..? I do understand the differences in the various hardware requirements between all of the Android phones..but the core os should be the same shouldn't it ? So...who is at fault..the carriers..or Samsung..or both ? Who is really causing the delays..? Who is going to make the determination if any future development happens..the carriers or Samsung ?

It will be difficult without source from SAMSUNG
[Captivate General] skinien:
Hmmm... obviously, Samsung is working on a 2.2 release. We have already gotten two leaked builds. The official release will be coming. Now with regards to 2.3. I don't think it's going to happen. It seems as though Samsung is focusing their efforts to push new products rather than support old ones.
[Captivate General] Jrob2k:
"Old Ones?" this phone isnt even 6 months old yet and it'll be obsolete soon. if not for the geniuses here at XDA it would already be obsolete. i love my captivate but i think its getting ready to get left in the dust. hope i get proven wrong though.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
Left in the dust? How so? 2.3. Is not even out yet. At least we have leaked versions of froyo...which will still be better then an official one. All we need is the source. The devs can handle the rest from there otherwise the devs spend there time unlocking all the crap that Samsung and att locked down
[Captivate General] PixelPerfect3:
This is what I don't like about Android (well not Android itself, but the Android market)...while N1 owners will be playing with 2.3 I will be stuck with 2.1.

F Samsung/Motorola whoever and their heavily modified ROMS. I don't need your Touchwiz/MotoBLUR/etc...just give me the stock ROM so that you save yourself the headache of upgrading and us too.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Samsung originally released their 2.2 back in late September/October to Europe - then was promptly pulled due to it being complete junk.

Now they are re-distributing it this month with a probably still junk release of 2.2. They screwed up so bad due to all the crap they half-assed into these phones (touchwiz, rfs file system etc...)

Samsung really needs to re-evaluate their development team and decide if they are going to be serious about the software side or farm it out to a third party that can program. Because.... their development department is probably the worst out there when it comes to android development.

I mean... there are probably Kirf teams in China that can code better!

Lazy.. no, greedy and not caring about the consumer and not taking pride the end result? Sure I can go with that.
