[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tytdfn:
Basically if you want to OC your phone you will have to flash the correct kernel. If your using froyo, flash an i9000 based rom and flash the setiron kernel via Clockwork recovery(it's an .zip file located at the end of the first post. If your using eclair flash unhelpful's kernel through Clockwork mod the same way.

The other way is to use odin and put in the tar file in the correct section. I forgot which one since i haven't used odin in so long. It's probably something with kernel or zImage or tar.

This sounds confusing so look up some youtube vids to help you out. Look for "ROM samsung captivate" and see how clockwork works
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] larmor19:
I know how to get the kernel on the phone that is not the problem. I do think there should be a short little guide on how to change the settings and what they mean. Just installing the kernel does not overclock it correct? I have the voltage control app but still it does not provide a very clear example of just what to do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] calisonic:
You use Setcpu in the market to.adjust frequencies. I'm still wondering if.its.okay to flash the kernel on a phone already running a third party Rom like I am (cognition).

I was trying to copy a link from my email to put it into a web page. Has anyone figured out how to copy and paste? And how do I import my google calendar to the tablet?
[G Tablet General] h4x0rjdag:
double tap lets you highlight, then long press once you have it highlighted and choose copy. then go to browser and long press to paste

calendar i haven't touched yet
[G Tablet General] RedSrt007:
good luck on the google cal import....Ive been struggling with that for over a week :(

Im on TNT 2.02, but still, appears that there is no way (which is a huge deal for me)

If you do find a way, please let me know
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
I am on CM6.1B4 and I have calender and contact syncing working. I did the gapps fix which installs apks for the syncing of the contacts and calender.
[G Tablet General] 3pod:
go into contacts and add a "corporate email" account. add your gmail account credentials. finish the account setup and make sure there's a box that asks if you want to sync calendar, make sure its checked. wait about 5 min after the dialogue and you should be set.

at least that's what I did to get my calendar and my contacts sync'd.

good luck.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
This only syncs your default Google calendar -- and some of my entries are missing. My other Google calendars have never appeared. (I'm on Google Apps.) Contacts do work this way.
[G Tablet General] Karelle:
Yeah that is what I was doing and I get nothing! I just tried again and it highlights but then I get nothing! stange, very very strange!
[G Tablet General] Karelle:
Did you do this on a computer or the tablet itself? I am not finding how to enter corp account on the tablet!
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Go to Contacts, then Accounts on the menu, then Add Account, then choose Corporate. Enter your gmail credentials, then on the next page enter /username@gmail.com and m.google.com as your login info (if it's not already entered for you). It'll take a while for the contacts and calendar stuff to sync.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
I set this up without using corporate email, and I have multiple google calenders syncing. I'm not on google apps, just regular google account.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
What ROM are you using?

I have never seen an option to set up a Gmail account, using Google Contacts under TNTLite. When you first set up the tablet, and it sets up your default Google account, it sets up mail, but never gives the option for contacts/calendar. (This goes for both a Gmail account and a Google Apps account.) If I look at my accounts via the Gmail app, the Sync Management page shows only Mail as a sync option, with no Calendar/Contacts options.

On my Nexus One, when you go to add an account under Contacts, "Google" is an option along with Corporate (and Twitter and Facebook, if you have those installed). But, on the tablet, under TNTLite, there is no option to add a Google account, only Corporate and the others.

I've mentioned this a bunch of times, hoping that someone with more knowledge would take some time to figure out why--is it because TNTLite installs Gmail 2.3 as the default, and not 2.2? What is it about the account setup that only creates a link between a Gmail account and Mail, leaving Contacts and Calendar out in the cold? And how come when adding a new account you have no option to add a new Gmail account, like on vanilla Froyo?
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
There are apks, that need to be installed to sync calenders and contacts for non coporate I believe, as it was not in my syncing options until I installed these. They are GoogleCalenderSyncAdaptoer.apk, GoogleContactsSyncAdapter.apk
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
I am using CM6.1B4 for the ROM, I had the same issue under this rom where I could not add another google account or calenders/contacts. I followed this thread (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=842590) and I was able to get it to work where I have multiple gmails accounts, and can sync contact and multiple calenders. At first when following that thread it killed my rom, so I had to clear cache/data, reinstall rom, and then all was fine. I removed the an Email.apk(?) and that got rid of the corporate email account since I don't use one. I beleive you can just install the apk's from that thread to get things to work, the *SyncAdaptoer.apk's. I have gmail 2.3 so I don't think that is the issue. Not sure what apk controls being able to add multiple gmail accounts since I think that always worked for me, although I remember messing with things and not having that ability anymore. Hope this helps.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
I've tried multiple times to just install the SyncAdapter.apk files, and always get Application Not Installed. Maybe there's a certain procedure to follow? (install them after wiping data, and before doing the Google Account set up?)
[G Tablet General] Talk2Rider:
I tinkered with getting calendar to sync with my Google calendar last night. I was successful in getting "Touch Calendar" from the market to sync, but not the Calendar that is included with TNT Lite 2.0.2.

Process: I went to the Contacts App and added a second email account (same as the first). By default, it labeled it as a "Corporate Account". The original one was labeled as "local only" or some such. In the wizard that takes you through creating the account, there are checkboxes for Sync Email and Sync Calendar. They are at the bottom of the page, so make sure you scroll down every page in the wizard or you might miss them. I don't believe Calendar is checked by default.

I don't particularly like the "Touch Calendar" app, but it is functional. If anyone else has a Calendar App that is working - please let me know about it. I don't know what Roebeet has included with TNT Lite 2.0.2., but that one is not working for me. It looks like the TapNTap calendar to me.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Talk2Rider--

The calendar in TNTLite 2.02 is the default TNT Calendar, not the Google Calendar (Roebeet went back to the default TNT Calendar in his TNTLite Supplements). You're seeing your Google calendar stuff in Touch Calendar because that's keying off the Corporate account that you set up, while TNT Calendar doesn't use that.

The Corporate account set up doesn't help those of us who are trying to get multiple calendars to sync in the Google Calendar app. The need exists to be able to add another Google account (like you can in vanilla Froyo), not doing a workaround of a Google account as a Corporate account.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
These are system apk's so just drop them into the /system/app folder and reboot. But I didn't do that, I installed the whole package from that link I posted, and had problems at first where it hosed everything for me, but after clear data/cache, reinstall rom on top (doesn't wipe out these apks) everything was working.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
Tried it (putting just the *SyncAdapter.apk files in /system/app, and rebooting), then deleted my existing Google Apps account, rebooted, but I still don't get the option to sync calendar/contacts as a Google account, and no ability in Contacts to add a Google Account.

I'm guessing if I install the entire TNT Keyboard/Gapps update.zip, then wipe data and then reinstall TNTLite 2.0, it might work. Just trying to decide whether I want to go through all of that.
[G Tablet General] raydog153:
Ya, I'm not familiar enough of the system apks to know if there was something else that needed to be done to get this to work. I know TnT light doesn't have the Gapp versions of the contact and calender....does it have the gmail.apk already? Best might be to install it all instead of trying to figure out what is going on. You can always use CWM to backup the system and if it doesn't work restore it back.

I don't want to be changing my system and want it stable, but I suspect I will be doing a lot of installing diff roms and wiping for a while till the roms get more stable and feature rich.
[G Tablet General] jacindc:
TNTLite 2.0 has the Gmail, Google Contacts, and Google Calendar apks. It's only the 2.02 supplemental that replaces contacts and calendar apps with the original TNT installed apps.

I made a half-hearted stab at installing the GApps stuff, then "reinstalling" TNTLite 2.0, but didn't wipe my user data. No change on the calendar/contacts stuff, and this resulted in messed up versions of Maps, Street View, and YouTube, which I was able to salvage through Titanium Backup uninstalls and then reinstalling from the Market. But I imagine getting the Gapps stuff truly working may require a full wipe, probably back to Vanilla TNT, and then installing Gapps first followed by TNTLite. I'm just not in the mood quite yet to go that far.

So, if anyone out there can figure out a way to get full Google account sync access working in TNTLite without having to start over, you'll get a gold star! :)
[G2 and Desire Z General] tangiers:
Anyone know how much battery life is lost through syncing with HTC Sense (you need to have it on push if you want to be able to track your phone's location through the HTC Sense webpage)

in addition

to syncing with Exchange? In other words, does having 2 syncing services make much difference to the battery life over having only 1?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zulubushi:
***Mods, you can delete this thread. Got my answer elsewhere. Thanks.****

Rooted my Epic and installed Syndicate ROM. My speeds using the Sprint Hotspot app were MUCH faster than using the Wifi Tether app. Does someone know something that I don't?

If I can't get 4G speeds using Wifi Tether which is only ad-hoc then I'll need to go back to Sprint's ROM, unless I can install the Sprint Hotspot app. I'm new to Android modding so please be gentle. Lol. Not new to flashing/modding in general as I've done plenty of flashing with my TP2.

tl;dr

Terrible speeds using wifi tether.

Does someone know how I can install the Sprint Hotspot app while using Syndicate ROM.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] albie1937:
I was wondering the same thing. I prefer sprint hotspot over wifi tether. Did you get sprint hotspot to work?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slabhurta:
yeah the wifi tether is slow, i really want HOTSPOT back as i can use it and dont have to connect to it with the usb cable.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BStecke:
I upgraded to FRG83D a couple of days ago and all has been well. Today I have been getting two SMS notifications for each SMS I receive . . . one shows the old postcard style icon, the other shows the current smiley face messaging icon. I didn't even know the postcard style icon was still in use, so I'm at a loss. The second notification comes through as a totally separate notification about a second after the first, and instead of saying who the message is from, it merely says that I have one unread message.

Any ideas?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jack_R1:
You have 2 apps "seeing" the SMS. One is stock, one is something else. Check what programs you have installed (other SMS client). Look in /system/app, you might have 2 stock clients installed, one old with wrong name (names are case-sensitive).
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BStecke:
I don't have any third party messaging app installed, so I know that's definitely not it. Is there a way of checking this out without having a rooted phone? I checked the FAQ but everything I saw points to needing root access.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prettyboy85712:
Uncheck Read Reports in the messenger app settings.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BStecke:
I actually just figured it out. Well, fixed it, still don't know why it was doing it in the first place. I just went to Settings>Applications>Messaging and clicked "erase data" and it seems to be fixed. I'm at a loss as to why it started in the first place.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] markisgood2:
Hello. I (some time ago) heard on twitter that developers will have to do mandatory content ratings and can upload promo videos and high res graphics for their apps on Android.

However, at the time I heard about it, my rooted Droid Incredible was "bricked." (couldn't turn on).

SO, I took a stock 2.2 ROM off the web, flashed it, and unbricked my Incredible. However, since I don't get OTA's with this supposedly "customly flashed" ROM (cant believe i mean its stock) I didn't get the Android Market update.

Well, actually, I don't know if there was a market update but I think there was. Can anybody post the update as a flashable zip here or just tell me that there was no update?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.New:
Yeah, after I've taken such great care of my Incredible, I made a big mistake today. I was looking through a closet for a box of trashbags, and had the flashlight app on. I found the bags, and thought I had turned the flashlight off, but in fact I had not. I slipped the phone into my pocket.

Well, 5min later I feel a burning in my pants, sure enough the back plate and LEDs had melted under the high heat and fused together. The leds are melted down around the backplate, which has warped around the holes. It's only noticeable if you look kinda close. But, I can't get the plate off. I freaked out.

So, I know a few options, I can pay the $100 deductible and get a replacement phone from my insurance. I want to know, will it be the same hardware? (AMOLED)

I also can attempt to cut the phone apart with a small knife, as it has only fused around the leds. I can live with melted leds (they still work).

My only other question is: what is the possibility of smooth-talking the verizon store rep into replacing the phone under my 1 year warranty? I can nandroid, then get it back to stock before I take it in.

Thanks guys, I put so much time and money into this phone, god I hate when things like this happen. :(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DadamsJR:
i would call verizon and tell them there is a problem with the leds and there not working correctly that you cant get the cover off.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Erickomen27:
Sounds Like A Warranty Replacement To Me.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KGBxxx:
That's hilarious and sad at the same time. I would call up verizon and have a what if hypothetical conversion about this. Most likely if you get a new Dinc it won't be amoled.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pete_kowalski83:
were you using the htc flashlight?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.New:
Unfortunately not, I was using Torch from Cyanogenmod. However, I'm sure I could get the same results if I left the HTC app on long enough, as Torch wasn't even on full brightness. It's really weird.

So the general consensus is to call verizon? Not go to a store?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gmichaelow:
I think going to a store might be best. Do a nandroid, and restore to stock. Make sure you s-on, and pull your SD card out for good measure xD Then show it to a representative and tell them you were using the flashlight app and you put it in your pocket blah blah.

There is this thing called the manufacturer's warranty that covers your phone for 1 year from hardware defects. And that is certainly a hardware defect. The dude will fill do everything for you, and a new one will be sent to you. Don't worry, if you have AMOLED now, you should get a Certified Like-New AMOLED. (Some Verizon internal memo was leaked a few months ago confirming this, and I can personally confirm)
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] najaboy:
I wouldn't go so far as to call it a hardware defect, as this was not normal wear and tear. LEDs typically do a very good job of heat dissipation, but putting an illuminated one in your pocket is going to allow for an unnatural buildup of heat. Rather than a defect, it's simple physics.

For the OP- definitely restore to stock and take it in for a warranty exchange. However, you may want to leave out the part about having the LEDs on while in your pocket.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] suprdamn:
Turn flashlight back on for few minutes so that it it melts again and pull the phone apart.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NickTheCreator:
Aftermarket light or not, I had no idea it got that hot: 0
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] luvit:
You placed an RF transmitter next to your goods? ..or ..are you a hot woman?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] J.New:
Hahaha I'm no woman. I guess you could call me reckless/uninformed. I haven't seen much hard information that suggests radiation is high enough to cause problems.

And thanks for the responses. This weekend I'll go back to stock, and bring it in to the verizon store in my area. Just double checking, I'm going to tell them that I was using the htc flashlight app, but should I tell them that I had it on for a long time, short time, medium amount of time? I'll know to say that I felt the phone starting to get hot, and then turned it over and saw the melted plastic.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KB Smoka:
I do that all the time whilst drinking out of a plastic bottle that I left in my car during 100 degree temps.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slipknot14469:
the SAME thing happened to me on my inc! only i caught it before it actually fused my backplate to the phone! my backplate still got melted though, and the chasis around the LED's. I was also using the torch on CM 6.1, it truned on in my pocket since I had the torch app in quick launch/widget area of the notification bar. I also had the torch set to "High/Death Ray" so im sure that didnt help either!:(
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Keyboards:
Did the OP not read this? This is your solution dude. As soon as you take it off blow on it so it cools quickly and just snap the cover back on, problem solved.
[Captivate General] mattbeau:
I had random shutdowns and went through all the troubleahooting over the phone and when I went to turn it at their warranty center per the phone support, the tech at the warranty center did a master reset and said the randon shutdowns are a software glitch with an app i downloaded. (it was looping the boot sequence over and over untill i pulled the battery on stock jh7.) I also mentioned my gps hasent worked since day one (august) and he said an update is coming this week to fix that i said that the last update was supposed to be the fix he says this is the fix. So maybe this week? By the way he said i have a 1 year warranty and if its not right they will replace it. At what point are they going to be replacing our phones?

Sorry but had rant a little its getting a little annoying now
[Captivate General] gmanunited:
We hear updates are coming almost every week. I will be glad to see it when it comes but I will not get my hopes up. I will believe it when I see it or in this case download it.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Agreed, they will tell you what you want to hear to get you out of their face. It's customer service 101 (I was a golf pro for 16 years so I know).

Bottom line is if you are unhappy with the phone he told you your have a year to replace. If you are insinuating they are going to replace all our phones because of the GPS fault, you got another thing coming. Right now they are more concerned with selling new phones for the holidays. When that rush is over then maybe they worry about making anything right.

My two cents.
[Captivate General] jonjonk:
has samsung all together abandoned this phone in favor of the newer nexus s? I sure do hope not.
[Captivate General] wade7919:
we are waiting on the carriers to release the Froyo update... they have had them for awhile now... more than likely expect the release in Q1 of 2011
[Captivate General] SiL3nTKiLL:
i doubt we will get an update
[Captivate General] jonjonk:
seriously, i'll be a miracle if samsung does end up fixing these issues. they have been present since day one.
[Captivate General] nkrick:
Samsung has released Froyo to the carriers for the entire SGS line. We are waiting on AT&T, not Samsung.

As far as the GPS goes, the Rogers Wireless Captivate has a GPS that is flawless by all reports. Samsung claims they released a fix for the GPS. Based on these two pieces of information, I think we are at AT&T's mercy on this too...
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
IIUC, Samsung has released the update. We're waiting on AT&T not Samsung...that is if I've got it right. :D

[Captivate General] fldude99:
I think I'll hang out til about a week after 1/1 for an "official" 2.2..then I'll spend some time reading up on these forums on what/how to flash 2.2 and see what happens. I'm not a tinkerer, and IMO the stock Captivate is great-GPS works fine, I don't have any major needs for anything more, but it is tempting
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
We don't really know if AT&T has the final build or not. But the Samsung Twitter account still says 2.2 by the end of the year
[Captivate General] MicroBeta:
Yeah, the holidays will have them hoppin' to sell and that means customer service can easily go by the way side.

BTW, since it costs the gov't 1.67¢ to produce a penny..your two cents worth is actually 3.34¢ worth. :D

Holy hell.....I'm rich. I hope that doesn't put me in a higher tax bracket come Jan.
[Captivate General] vikdmon:
Out of curiosity what app did you download that was causing random shutdowns. I'm having random shutdowns now, when my battery is around 45-46%. But I noticed that it doesn't happen when data connections are turned off.
[Captivate General] mattbeau:
Nothing in particular; facebook, memento pro, xda, astro, slacker radio.... Ect ect. I have been running stock for a while now and i have no idea why it started. I just noticed my pocket kept "launching rockets" repetedly and found my gone looping a boot. Thats the main reason i was going to return it. But alas it hasent had any reboot problems since. So maybe this might work for you. If it starts again, However, ill probably try to return it again.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
CVPCS were working on a way to get around the bootloader issue by double booting or something of that nature. Is this essentially what your doing with this or is this a motorola rom with all blur removed?
[Droid X Android Development] Matt4542:
What you are talking about is hijack. This uses hijack, this is from source. Has 0 blur in it. Stock 100%.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Stock Kernel?

I'm just interested, I very much appreciate any and all new roms on the market.
[Droid X Android Development] Matt4542:
Yeah, it uses the stock kernel. That's what hijack is used for.
[Droid X Android Development] Gimpeh:
Alright I'm somewhat confused. Just to be clear, the kernel that is in this rom is NOT what is included in any of the motorola OTA's correct? If so, your awesome.
