i have something similiar just have battery showing and wheel spinning when connected to pc or AT&T logo flashing if powered on and can't get into download mode...How does one get back to reality at this point.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
your phone does not have the button combinations required to enter either download or recovery mode. I guess what you should have done before doing anything to your phone was test the button combinations in case something screwed up. then you should have flashed stock with the odin package posted in the development forum with the 3 button fix. I had to do this for my friend's captivated after realizing the button fix was disabled, but I hadn't broken the booting of the phone then. but now to fix it, other than trying to use adb to reboot into download, I have no idea what to do.

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbui23:
As the title states, I have lost my internal memory after install of 1.3 OC Kernel and AXURA Vibrant Edition ▼△ [Devs4Android][2.0.5] ROM.

I had the ROM installed with the Voodoo lag fix but I was having issues with certain areas so I figured to flash with 1.120 B_STOCK Kernel. I later saw a post for a 1.3 clock that made the phone lighting fast. This is where it went downhill. Booting up and running some programs WAS very fast but as I continued to run a screenshot program the phone would lockup on that screen. It wouldn't reboot into clockworks so I removed the battery. I did this three (3) times and on the third time it booted into Bootloader mode and saying it couldn't find sd card and it wouldn't install the ROM. I have used ODIN to flashback probably 20 times but I am still missing my internal memory. I can't install any apps and my computer doesn't show my external SD. Also when I restart my phone it will revert back to it's unregistered state, not holding any info ie. google account, phone numbers.

Any ideas?

And yes I did remove my external SD and my SIM card when I use ODIN. No I did not Partition my internal using ROM manager or clockworks.

Anyone have any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbui23:
I just tried again and no success. I did T959UVJFD under PDA, my PIT was s1_odin_20100512.pit and Re-Partition, Auto Reboot and F. Reset Time were all checked. Dump-unchecked, Debug En.- unchecked, File [Dump]-empty along with Phone and CSC.

After it passes the screen will flash a grey battery if plugged in. If unplugged it will show a Vibrant screen and shut off. Will not bootloader.

any ideas?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danielbui23:
Still not working. I am now trying Eugene_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5 with s1_odin_20100512.pit I am checking Re-Partition and start.

After It is done it comes to bootloader screen and says;

"update media, please wait

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkop1

"(No such file or directory)

"E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount SDCARD:

"your storage not prepared yet, please use UI menu for format and reboot actions.

"E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblkop1

"(No such file or directory)

"E:copy_dbdata_media:Cant mount SDCARD:"

I will try and use the bootloader menu but only thing that works is the reboot, delete data and delete cache.

format internal sd-card doesn't work and the ODIN screen says, "PASS!"

Any ideas or suggestions?

I have been playing with the WP7 and Focus video settings. It takes some great high def video but for some reason I can't get these settings to save.

You would think they would save as there is a reset to default button but wth.

I set the settings to 720p and high sharpness. I took a video, then returned to the main home screen, then back into the camera and it defaults back...

[G2 and Desire Z General] evermore:
Hi G2 users. I'm torn about buying this phone. I've played with it at the store and love the keyboard, speed, looks, and build quality. However, I've seen comments in this forum and others and in some reviews that the G2 has difficulty getting/maintaining a signal. (I've seen similar reports for the desire z). Though, it does seem like these reports were more common in October than in November. Was the issue addressed (by updates or replacement hardware?) or did users just get used to the issue and decide to focus on the phone's strengths? Or, was the issue never that widespread to begin with?

No matter how great the features of the G2 are, I don't think I could put up with the frustration of not being able to depend on it working when I needed it to. So, what's your experience been? (Interested in everyone's experiences, but would especially love to hear any comments from anyone in the New York City area.)

Also, as I'm new to T-Mobile, I'm curious if building penetration at such high frequencies is an issue I should be concerned about. I know Sprint's Wi-Max is using even higher frequencies, but I've read some very daunting tales about it's lack of building penetration.

Thanks very much for your help.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ibemad1:
My experience has been meh. WiFi calling has made my experience better than I could ever have hoped for though.

I have a TP2 and a G2.. the TP2 has better reception than the G2.. the G2 slips a bit from the TP2.. with my TP2 inside my house, i will always have 4 bars (max).. with my G2, it'll switch between 3 & 4 bars.

also, it seems like data connection hangs randomly at times (data icon (H) stays lit tho).. not sure why this happens.. i don't have random data hang ups with my TP2.
[G2 and Desire Z General] theratdude64:
My G2 has had absolutely worthless internet lately. I am getting quite pissed off that I'm spending the money on a data plan, I understand it sucks in my house, but when I am out around town I still barely get a signal. I'm literally getting speeds like 15kbps.

I just switched from a Nexus One, which can't hold a single worth crap. My G2 hasn't switched to EDGE at all and I get great speeds on HSPA+. Granted, T-Mobile has my area fully covered for HSPA+. I haven't taken it up into the mountains, yet, with it being winter here in Utah.
[G2 and Desire Z General] xdviper:
I'm in Brooklyn, so the reception is good outside, but once I get home, where I have only about 1 or 2 bars with edge and 3G, it will drop the signal sometimes. Sometimes even while texting, it will drop the signal, and will have to wait until the phone gains reception to send the message.

Yes, you can turn off 3G. I use the "mobile network" widget that came with the phone. Go to the screen to add a widget or app to your home screen, It's under Widgets>settings>mobile network. Or you can go to menu>settings>wireless and networks. Scroll down and unchecked "mobile network"

You wont be able to use any data at all when it's off, just phone calls and texts. Like I said, I use the widget which makes it really easy to turn on and off.

hey guys,

im a victim of getting phones that keep having random shutdowns. im getting fed up with getting refurbished phone after refurbished phone and all of them having this problem. it seems like people are sending their phone in due to theirs shutting off and it just keeps recycling to others. what can i do? should i go to ATT store and tell them what is going on?

edit: im on my 4th refurbished phone.
[Captivate General] jswclw:
I have periodic shutdowns. I am beginning to think that it is not the phone, but the manner in which it is used that makes the difference. I don't think the phone will shutdown unless it left to idle for some period. It also only seems subject to the shutdowns in a certain charge range, the 80s for me. If I keep the phone busy through the 80s, I will not have a shutdown.

Anyway, all that to say, I think that the folks who aren't having shutdown, use the phone in a way that prevents the shutdowns.
[Captivate General] androidftwin:
I have two replacement phones with me and one shuts down more than the other one while they are both on idle. I am sick of having this problem. I want to return the phone and buy a different one. I am way past 30 day mark and any ATT representative can see that the warrantee dep keeps sending me defective devices. This is unreal. I signed a 2 year contract with a phone that does not stay on? Should i go to the ATT store and complain politely?
[Captivate General] mac208x:
Since your past the 30 days than your only covered by the 1 year ATT warranty. You can only keep returning them and prey your next Captivate will work the way its suppose to.

Considering the hellfire conflagration a bad Lipo Battery can cause, I would be nervous about buying cheap knock-offs. If Seido charges $70 for these and someone else charges $4, you gotta wonder what you are getting. I doubt Seido has a $66 markup on their batteries.
[EVO 4G Accessories] packersrule:
it's not something just a deal on a cheap. battery if you want a spare or if like me your charge port is broken and use a few batteries and wall chargers, if you want to spend $9 for the same battery with a back cover go ahead, not Spam just a good deal, show me a better deal for a cheap extended battery. like I said I don't charge the batteries using my phone so these work great, good to charge and leave in the car or plus its always have a normal sized battery in my wallet

I bought my evo used but tried to do the Touchstone mod and messed up sodering or something and now the charging port does not work and the g sensor doesn't work, but I do not miss cord charging I got like 5 batteries and 3 external chargers, that cost me like $30 for all that off cheap ebay sellers, so I always have like 3 batteries always charged and ready to go, don't even miss cord chargers any more
[EVO 4G Accessories] OgremustCrush:
Actually, I wouldn't be surprised if Seidio had that large of markup considering they sell cases with a holster for $50. Which of course is just two pieces of molded plastic with a bit of psuedofelt and rubber finish. And which in my case, started to fall apart within 6 months after purchase. Frankly I don't think Seidio is the slightest bit better than the cheap eBay sellers, they just make a lot more money based on the perception that the charge more so they should be better.
[EVO 4G Accessories] donatom3:
Exactly alot of companies leverage their name so they can sell the same thing as other suppliers at a higher markup. It's good to know that alot of "manufacturers" don't actually make their own product, they actually contract out alot of their products.
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
Eh... $4, i'll bite.. We'll see how it works out.

I purchased a couple things from them already off of ebay. Shipping was a couple days longer than I expected but they are reputable. My battery I got from them also works great...
[EVO 4G Accessories] aronslusa:
Finally got around to testing it...

Charged it with the phone off, unplugged and turned it on.

Charged it until indicated green then unplugged then powered down.

Repeated this process four times until icon indicated 100% power.

So far I'm down to 11% and have been going 42 hours and 50 minutes with my normal use (texting, couple calls, light internet use, light gaming).

All in all for $4, great purchase. I was even more so surprised when the eBay seller contacted me and told me it would not fit with the stock battery door (I already knew that personally). They informed me that I would be getting a battery cover I believe, or a full refund.

I didn't mind either, so I just said whatever works.

EDIT:: Checked my inbox today, and they are sending a back cover it looks like.

"Now the battery cover in stock ,and we have send it to you for first time ,this is the tracking#:removed

Would you pls check it later on www.usps.com"

Fun grammar, so we shall see what this holds in store for me.

[EVO 4G Accessories] twoslo:
I received my 3500mAh chinese battery yesterday and used it until it died. I charged it over night and unplugged it at 6am this morning. When I first pulled it off the charger it immediately dropped 6%, from 100 to 94. At first I was like WTF but I know the USB/AC Charger is notorious for this so I paid it no mind. It's nearly 3pm here and my battery now has 8% life left. Almost 9 hours battery life... something my 1800mAh chinese battery was already able to do. I know I can't expect much from a $8 battery, but I thought it would put out more juice than my stock one at least.... am i missing something? :confused:
[EVO 4G Accessories] packersrule:
3500 batteries just take longer to charge, use an external charger or charge with the phone off

[EVO 4G Accessories] twoslo:
Thanks. I didn't think about using the external charger, so hopefully tomorrow's performance will be better than todays. I'm curious though, if the 3500 battery wasn't fully charged, why did it show as 100% before I unplugged it?
[EVO 4G Accessories] twoslo:
So I let my 3500 battery charge for over 12 hours on an external charger. I've had it in my phone for 10minutes now and its already dropped 10%. 0_o

This doesn't seem right...
[EVO 4G Accessories] acidbuzz3:
I may have the same battery as you from hong kong.

I am pretty sure its a bad battery, it only lasts as long as a 1500mah battery.

I am doing some final testing with calibrating it and comparing it to my original battery before I for sure call it bad
[EVO 4G Accessories] twoslo:
Seems like a bad battery to me. Maybe we bought from the same seller?

I didn't even want to waste my time with the battery today after my previous post. As soon as it hit 88% after only being used for 15 minutes I swapped it out for my 1800mAh chinese battery. I put it back in the external charger and will do some more testing later. I already contacted the eBay seller, but usually they don't ask that we return an item. I'll be happy to get the $8 back to buy another one and try again. :cool:
[EVO 4G Accessories] misagh99:
When you charg your phone and it reach to 100%, it stop charging until you phone reach the 90% and it will charg the battery again. If you buy seidio 3500 mah you will see the same thing happen.

[EVO 4G Accessories] NewZJ:
you can't make battery life appear from no where, the stock 1500 mah battery will give 3.5~4 hrs heavy use, 3500 cheapo ebay might be 2000~3000mah ( what it says and what it is are different) so only expect UP TO a 2x life increase. so 8 hrs heavy use or ,60+ hrs light/no use.

by heavy use I mean that the screen never is off and you are actively downloading while overclocking and playing a very intensive game ie dungeon defenders

I currently live in a low signal area, have tried the Verizon prl thing with mixed results, but have had success using the "Affiliated Network" toggle in settings/wireless & network settings/mobile networks/system select. Anyways, this process is kindof a pain in the ass since I only need to use affiliated networks for voice calls then, once the call is over I have to switch back to "home only". I've looked all over for a widget that could toggle between the 3 options(home only, affiliated networks, and automatic) or a hack that could maybe utilize the affiliated networks for voice calls but would switch it back to home only once the call was completed since affiliated networks only utilizes 1x per Sprint's aggreement with, I'm assuming, Verizon. Any help pointing me in the right direction or maybe a dev taking this project on would be greatly appreciated. I apologize if this has already been asked, I did a Google search as well as a forum search...

Search for "Roam Control" on market. It is not a widget, however you can add the shortcut to your home screen. It allows you to quickly switch between home only, automatic, and force roam.
