[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R5R:
Hi,

I wanted to know would it be possible to just change the 897 voodoo lag fix to work with the rogers 896 by changing the model number in the update script inside the update.zip? So far ive changed the model numbers but just wanted to check with the pros here if im about to brick my device by doing this.

If yes, has anybody done this? And if No are their other files which need to be changed?

Thanks
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Yuna:
the only thing you can do - is to test, just check 3button mode :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] R5R:
humm but have people done this type of thing before? because im a noob at this and also whats the 3 button mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Vaanhoot:
Just tried this from my stock i896 and it bricked. Got stuck on the step 2 part of the install on the at&t boot screen. Decided afterwards to try cognition and it is great since trying the voodoo lag fix also installed the at&t boot screen which I was trying to avoid since there is no fixed for it yet.

I downloaded the latest mini kies off the Samsung site..loaded the correct drivers for Vista 64bit..

When I connect the usb port it starts checking the comes back with

Failed to connect with the model information server

Is this normal ? It shows the correct version of my Captivate,but no firmware information.

Is this a AT&T issue..or that of Samsung ?

Mac
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kegobeer:
Yes. :D

This has been going on for at least a day. There are some other posts about it, especially on the is this FINALLY it? thread. I think it's just AT&T and/or Samsung doing some server maintenance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
Well all I can say is that this is extremely retarded way of getting anything done. :mad:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Sure diddly is. Of course you are talking about AT&T and Samsung so it's well known the way they do business is retarded.

A quick apology to my retarded friends. :eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mac11700:
I used the term retarded because it is derogatory...to those poor soles who are mentally challenged I meant no disrespect.They can't help their condition...AT&T and Samsung can :mad:

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] RolltideUA:
Recently my Tilt started acting up, when in Portrait Mode the touch screen does not work. But when I slide the keyboard out and it goes to Landscape Mode the touch screen works. What could it be?

I performed a Hard Reset to try and fix the problem..

but nothing. It still persists.

Any suggestions and information would be appreciated.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] pachuau86:
This could be a problem with the cable connecting the LCD to the main unit... i think its called LCM connector or flex cable.

This cable has to move everytime you slide open the keyboard, so after a lot of use, the cables dont last and can cost LCD not working, touch not working, earpeice not working, LED not working, etc... could be just a loose connection also.

Have it checked out... and hope its something else not the cables :)
[Venue Pro General] truffle1234:
i was on dell (US) website to check the venue pro, but to my surprise, dell has almost all the other WP7 device BUT THE VENUE PRO is not one of them...

i wanted to get one for my self, IN malaysia singapore sales and marketing ppl have no clue what i am talking about.. so i wonder if the support will be as good as the info on this device..

i am leaning to the HD7 90% now..
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I have an HD7 in my hands right now and I still think the DVP is a better buy. If you can, try to hold out a little longer. Pink camera, loose volume button and kickstand, washed out old generation LCD. Fake speakers up front (only has the one speaker in the back.)

I will say the HD recording isn't too shabby and it's nice to have a led charge and missed call notification.
[Venue Pro General] zipxavier:
I agree with the above. I just returned my HD7 to get the Venue Pro. It was hard to do as I loved Windows Phone 7, the AMOLED, Gorilla Glass and keyboard all make it a better buy.
[Venue Pro General] rob_p:
Have to say I'm not sure on the AMOLED. While it looks fantastic at first, the more I have a play with the samsung (in store - I don't own one), the less convinced I am. It has real pop, no doubt, but the colours actually are too fake and saturated for me long term. But then I'm pretty fussy about colour reproduction - colours that are too saturated tire the eye very quickly and give a false impression.

So while the AMOLED screens undoubtedly give the phones a wow factor when you first see them, living day to day, I'm leaning more back towards LCD now. The wife has the HD7, and having played with it a lot, it's a great screen - calmer and more realistic.

On the keyboard I'm with you - I always like to at least have the option of a hardware keyboard. On gorilla glass I couldn't comment as I've not seen it in action - don't know how well it handle bright light and reflection.
[Venue Pro General] ericc191:
I owned a Nexus One for about 8 months and this HD7 for a week now. I think it's going to be personal preference for most people. I can't stand how washed out the HD7 looks, but AMOLED is def over saturated, though.

When I try to think back and remember if the N1's screen ever gave me any issues, I honestly can't remember a time where I was like screw AMOLED this sucks.
[Venue Pro General] ajftl:
lol... wow exactly.. i was reading this guy post and i was like wtf!...its like **** this GTR im getting a focus..dude AMOLED ****ing rules.. u can always lower the brightness if u want ... weird!

i own a vibrant and a N1 also.. both AMOLED.. loved them .. and yes getting a dell cause mainly the amoled and not the keyboard.. i would probabnly never use the physical kb

[Venue Pro General] mrmomoman:
It is about choice. One is not superior over the other. They both have their pros and cons. after having AMOLED OR (S)AMOLED everything LCD or S-LCD will appear washed out. That's because you have been.looking at an overly saturated screen all this time.

The colors are more.natural on LCD. The text is smoother because there is no Pentile Matrix to deal with. On brighter backgrounds the LCD is better on battery life.

It all goes back to choice.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] irtehun:
Used the theme kitchen to make this. Figured I would share with everyone.

Download Here for RC1

Use ClockworkMod to Flash.

Here is a version that works with Nightly 235.

CyanogenModNightly235 Circle battery Mod.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] Batryoperatedbob:
Wow man it works perfectly. Had it running in less than 30 seconds. Nice work good sir.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] irtehun:
I will be making a few variants of this sometime soon. I'll post them on this thread.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] irtehun:
added a version for the 135 Nightly. seems framework changed cause other version caused bootloop.
[HTC Aria Themes and Apps] eagle0042:
Just tried it on cm6 rc2... the normal version bootlooped (must have those nightly frameworks), so I tried the alternate one. When installed from clockwork, the install gives some sort of cannot symlink.... bootanimation.zip.... error line 4... installation aborted.. (dont remember what all it said) and on reboot, there is no boot animation, but the battery circle appears to work correctly so far, but its only been 10 minutes.. is the install botched? And, can I just reflash the cm6 bootanimation.zip without any problem? If I get the chance to try, ill post any more updates here.
[Dash 3G, Snap General] mrdss:
Help, I bricked my snap Mobolictiy. I was running windows 6.5 and the phone was unlocked I wanted to install the cooked rom found on this site and now have a bricked phone. I have been running circles for days now downloading reading and installing different rom versions. Nothing works the loader starts and stays at 0%.

Mind you I have to remove the battery from the phone and when starting holding the volume down and power button to get the tricolour screen. Windows does see the phone as i can hear it in the back ground.

The closest I have gotten with a rom is getting the improper vendor ID when trying to install the rom. How do I know what vendor ID to use ?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] Mr. Clown:
Have you tried the unbricking tutorial?
[Dash 3G, Snap General] mrdss:
Yes, I did the unbricking thing. I can only boot the phone by holding the volume button and entering the tri colour screen. I need the MOBOLICITY software. I have tried other vendors but receive the message wrong ........ blah, blah, blah.
[Captivate General] Mantu13:
My wifi is very spotty at best. It always seems to say it connects just fine but it won't let me actually use it. I just went and stood right above my router and had full wifi strength and couldn't browse the internet. Are there any solutions to wifi issues or do I probably just have a bad wifi chip?
[Captivate General] kegobeer:
There could be a ton of different reasons why you can't connect. There might be a compatibility issue (some devices just don't get along), there might be an issue with security (you aren't using WPA2/AES on your router), there might be a channel issue that can be fixed by trying another channel on the router, the list goes on and on.

What kind of troubleshooting have you done so far? What router do you have?
[Captivate General] Mantu13:
Running a netgear WNR3500L with WPA2 encryption. All I've done so far is a simple restart of the router.

EDIT: downloaded and used wifi analyzer to see which channels were open and they looked to all be about the same. I switched it to 6 for tests without any improvement. My router auto detects the best channel to be on. Any other advice?
[Vibrant General] proresearch:
when i run speedtests on my vibrant at my house in myrtle beach, sc i get 1 mb d 1 mb u like all time when I wifi tether i get like 2 mb download and 1.2 mb upload on my laptop, so why is it faster on my pc than cellphone? I have to force my phone to get 3g using the debug and i get like 2 bars. but if i dont force i always get edge here.

Also im new so how to I make a signature? I dont see the options in my CP.

Get a Wilson Electronics repeater.
[Epic 4G General] socos25:
Get an AirRave from Sprint

Get an airrave from sprint. I called complained, and they sent one to me free of charge.:p
[Epic 4G General] bomix:
+1 Wilson repeater works great!
[Epic 4G General] relic419:
I did a quick search, and it seems those things start around $300! For now, I use Roam Control from the market to force roaming.

Sent from a Yellow Galaxy
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
What does the airwaves do and how does it perform. what did u tell them to get it for free. Roam control might be a good option. The repeater is just too pricey for me right now. Thanks for the input so far
[Epic 4G General] jimmythegent:
I got one of these as well. It performs perfectly, as advertised. It hooks into your high-speed internet and has a GPS receiver (to make sure you're not creating sprint networks in other countries, etc).

I called Sprint, said I couldn't get reception in my place and that, if there was nothing they could do about it, I was going to switch to Verizon (which is true). The guy looked at my account, saw that I had an unlimited plan, said I was a "high-valued customer" and waived all fees.

I did have to call and dispute fees that were added anyway, but they fixed those. Now I get 5 bars as opposed to none in my apartment.
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
AirRave is a mini cell tower - so to speak - that plugs into your existing highspeed internet for VOIP calling. When the phone leaves its range, it attempts to hand the call to the tower. Keep in mind that they do take a line even if they do give it to you for free. Repeaters are a little pricey and will probably always be, not to mention I don't think they work for 3g - just 1x
[Epic 4G General] dwallersv:
When?

I did this two weeks ago, and they said that program was suspended right now because they didn't have any, and wouldn't until after the new year. :confused:
[Epic 4G General] JeffATL:
To ickwonder and socos25? What city are you in? I am just curious if the problem is nationwide or based on your specific locale.

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
My location is fine I'm in Ventura county... I think sprint considers my area part of LA. My buddy that works for sprint said 4g towers are up but not on yet. But it seems where i live the signal is very weak. Besides that I always have a strong signal in this area for the most part
[Epic 4G General] ickwonder:
What city...OXNARD, CA
[Epic 4G General] breakwater:
What do you mean, take a line? Thanks!

sent from my go-go Gadget phone
[Epic 4G General] Kcarpenter:
"take a line" meaning that most plans have 3 available lines....most I know of atleast. So 3 potential phones. The air rave takes one of those available lines.
[Epic 4G General] spongaweb:
Yeah they cancelled it awhile ago and I was pissed, as much as I tried to haggle with customer support.

At about the 30 day mark into my phones use I just could barely hang on with 1 bar in the house, they told me I had missed the mark to get one by about a week.

You can rent one from them for like $10/20 but that's messed up.

Now just crossing my fingers the 2.2 update will bring a better radio signal, but plywood walls suck.
[Android Apps and Games] pamma83:
Can anyone fix this app (SaveMMS) so the pictures show up in the gallery running android 2.2..seems like it saves the images but don't show up in the gallery like the download attachments default feature works. I like to have the images go to a different folder than "download" for my pictures

Thanks in advance
[Android Apps and Games] lagu805:
why do u need this?

i use the stock messaging app to view MMS and save it to SD card
[Android Apps and Games] pamma83:
stock save to SD saves it to "download" folder and I just want them to save in a different folder without having to manually move the pictures to the folder I want them in
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Here in Canada, Rogers just LOVES to toy with their customers. They did a surprise launch (not lunch lol) today in Toronto with NO WORD of it at all (thanks to Mobilesyrup.ca). I obviously had to check with stores and authorized dealers locally (about 30 minute away from Toronto), a total of 10 stores. Here's the funny thing: not only did they not have it but had no clue they were even getting the Tab this month. Jesus! Sometimes I wonder why didn't I just move somewhere close to the border.

God damn it Canada, I love you but sometimes you get in the way of me getting me gadgets!
[Galaxy Tab General] ConceptVBS:
So what did they serve? Cheeseburger? Chinese? Shake and bake? Mexican?

I still dont understand the milk in a bag concept.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Yeah, nobody in Vancouver was aware of it launching, I was told "next week" asking around today, though it's live on the Rogers site now, under Rocket devices.

I'm on the fence about which one I buy, the Rogers or the Bell, plan is to unlock and use on Telus anyway, though I might have to pay for a month's worth of service from Rogers or Bell first.

Not a fan of the white backplate on the Bell/International unit at all, the carbon fauxber on the Rogers/AT&T unit is probably a better choice for my tastes. Though I'm really curious if they went with the thin aluminum like the Captivate battery cover, or it's just the same pattern on plastic.

The other thing keeping me on the fence is the (weak) rumour that the Bell version still has voice enabled. That might make me switch to white, since somebody like Phantomskinz will release a decal for it soon.

If there's no voice in Canada, I'll need to find a local Micro-SIM adapter and I'll get the Telus $20/500Mb tablet flex plan (bumps to $35 if you go over, up to 5GB, but only works with Micro-SIM, even though it's not supposed to be iPad specific).
[Galaxy Tab General] shollywood:
CONFIRMED this morning, Bell has NO VOICE either! I was speaking with a higher up rep today about it. Still says it is coming on the 17th however....
[Galaxy Tab General] a in yul:
numerous threads on here to enable voice, so no worries there...:)
[Galaxy Tab General] Ice dream angel:
Yeah I only found out about the launch because I called about it. But the store says they are only getting it in a few weeks. I think the Tab in Canada was pretty much really confusing, no one knew what was going on including some of the people who work for bell and rogers.

I don't understand why rogers is charging more than bell for the same tab :S I don't trust any hardware rogers sellls because I've gotten four phones that all had hardware issues or software issues.

:P I'm gonna wait for the one from bell and just unlock it.
[Galaxy Tab General] a in yul:
^for the moment unlocking the BELL version seems to be the best soln considering bell is cheaper...:)
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Looks like the Bell units will actually be for sale sooner, even though the Rogers unit has already launched. Called EVERY Rogers dealer in the Downtown Vancouver area (25 of them, plus FutureShop and Best Buy) and many didn't even know about the device, and those that did didn't expect any in this week.

On the other hand, a lot of Bell and Source stores should have them tomorrow, if they don't have them already (though not able to sell).
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
I got somewhat of bad news: Bell will not sell the device without signing up with them. So if you're on Rogers with a Rocketstick, like myself you're shi* outta luck. On top of all this both Bell stores only have 2 devices in stock. When I asked why she said it doesn't seem to be in demand since I was the only one to inquired about the Tab. I was like wow are you serious?

I double checked with most Rogers Plus and authorized dealer stores and both said that Rogers suck in launching devices, they most likely will be getting this in the next few weeks.

WTF is this shi*! Can't a guy just go and buy a damn Tab without all the hassle?!?! I'm not sure I can hold it much longer. I have issues.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
I went through this with Bell on the Galaxy S. You sign up for month to month, cancel as soon as you get home, pay for one month's service when the bill comes in the mail, and you're done.

At least with the Tab I'll probably actually USE that service I paid for.

You might also have some luck buying it from Futureshop/BB without getting a plan, if you catch a clueless sales rep.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
I'm an owner!

Just got back from my local Bell corporate store, proud new owner of a Bell

Galaxy Tab that I can't take home until tomorrow morning (talk about a

sleepless night for a gadget freak).

Device is $649 CAD, as expected, and it's data only, as expected.

There are *no* contract subsidies for this device, retail price is the only

price.

They're rolling out a new "Flex Plan" to go with the device, $20/500mb, and

if you exceed the 500mb, it goes up to $35 for up to 5Gb. It's a pretty

damned good plan, and especially good considering it's a CANADIAN plan.

If you keep the plan, you get a $50 bill credit after the second month, to

further sweeten the pot.

The catch is, you MUST sign up for the no-obligation month-to-month plan to

even buy it, and there's the usual (for Canada) $35 "activation fee", same as

any other device sold by a carrier.

The device itself was a pleasant surprise, based on all the literature/leaks,

I was expecting the traditional white backed Tab. But this one has the same

textured/patterned (and grippy, btw) black/gray back as found on the AT&T

(and Rogers) units, but with absolutely no carrier branding. The sales rep

said they may carry the white-backed model in the future as well, but at

least for this first shipment, they're all black.

Model number is GT-PT1000M, so one could expect it to be very similar to

International models, sans voice.

Finally, corporate stores have received 2 (count 'em, TWO) units each, and

independent dealers may not get any right away, so they will be in short

supply at launch.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Congrats on the purchase !

Is the bell tab sim unlocked?

I wonder if you flash the euro firmware you will be able to unlock the voice option and keep the 850mhz working (like on the sgs)....

I guess time will tell :)
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
It's locked, but that's no hill for a climber. I'm betting that it'll be VERY friendly with Euro firmware, just like the I9000M was. We'll find out soon as I have a working Bell backup firmware to flash to if things go bad. :)

And since my "real" carrier is Telus, they won't have any IMEI number to block if I use my regular SIM, nor should they have any reason to.
[Galaxy Tab General] clubtech:
Awesome, keep us posted.

I this works i might just get one for at&t usage and flash the euro firmware.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
Guess what...
[Galaxy Tab General] xexes:
Yes? I'm guessing...
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
I have to say, I didn't see that comin. Bell has a 20$ flex rate plan, at a max of 35$ for 5 GIGABYTES download.... That. Is. Totally. Wicked. Rogers BLOWS, same plan for 65$... AND the thing costs you 675$ PLUS the 35$ activation fee...

All in all, i'm LOVING this thing, I can't stop using it, I'm going Tab Crazy. You should of seen the look on peoples faces at the mall, they just couldn't figure out what this LikeTotallyAwesome device was, even Bell employees were like "woah", because apparently they havn't seen this before today, not even a demo.
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
So one of my co-workers saw me showing it to another co-worker and asked if it was some sort of Tricorder (being a smartass).

I said, "why yes, yes it is" and proceeded to fire up the Tricorder app (which rocks major geek cred on the Tab, btw). A large chuckle was had by all.

And yeah, the Bell plan does not suck. Go check out what our American counterparts are paying for plans. And with the bill credit, we got it as cheap as any non-contract US version.
[Galaxy Tab General] xoltrix2000:
You had the Tricorder app already installed? Sheesh I thought I was a big geek but I clearly lost there lol.

Just kidding, I had both Tricorder apps installed by midnight lol. I don't remember the last time I've been so sexually aroused by a gadget as much as this, and I'm not ashamed of saying it. 8)
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
Just an FYI, there's a few Bell Tabs still for sale at the Robson and Granville Futureshop, if anyone is looking, but no Rogers units (and why you'd want a Rogers unit at this point is a bit of a mystery anyway).
[Galaxy Tab General] Azhad:
Wow, carriers in america/canada seriously screw their customers...

Here in italy I got my tab for 0€ + 29€/month for 500mb/day + voice

Sent from my Galaxy Tab
[Galaxy Tab General] Croak:
And how many months do you have to pay that 29€?
[Galaxy Tab General] Ice dream angel:
Must be nice lol yeah our carriers are overpriced, its because they can they do.
[Galaxy Tab General] puleen:
What's the best way to go about unlocking the Bell Galaxy Tab?
[Galaxy Tab General] puleen:
I just went to Future Shop and bought one without signing up for a month-to-month plan.

Now looking for ways to unlock it without needing to root it and put my Rogers 6GB SIM in it and browse :)
