[Epic 4G Accessories] iTbagdUrMac:
I got mine today as well. I thought my cover was messed up untill I read this thread. It took extreme force to get the sides to snap into place. I put the screen down on my chest, used both middle fingers on the side, pushed with disregard to breaking my phone, then snap, and one side seated. I repeated this for the other side and it finally snapped into place. I was amazed how hard I had to press to get the sides to seat. My epic is fine btw ;-)

Thanks did exactly like you and now am happy but Damn never thought I would have to use so much force on a battery cover but it's all good.

[Epic 4G Accessories] dennistpm:
I had the same problem with the extremely tight fit that made it hard to snap the sides shut. I decided to remove the foam lining on the inside of the cover and now it's easier to close. I like the way the phone looks with the extended battery cover on it. It's kinda sleek looking and feels better in my hand.
[Epic 4G Accessories] ranchosteve:
Can you guy's post the measurement's of the thickness battery and cover on. thanks
[Epic 4G Accessories] zen_phone:
Is there stand than can hold the phone with extended battery or a separate charger for the extended battery?

To those of you that have figured out that pressure on the sides of the battery door, that is a great way to get the door to fit properly.
[Epic 4G Accessories] TheRob44:
...

Anyone have any ideas on an ETA for a cover with the extended battery taken into account? I'd love to get this thing, but I'd like to maintain the protection I've got when I switch over.

Thanks,

[Epic 4G Accessories] Sh0wNuF:
Unless seidio makes one itself then probably never since almost all the extended batteries have differently shaped covers. Honestly with every phone that I've owned that needed and extended battery there as never a case made to accomidate the larger battery
[Epic 4G Accessories] nubecoder:
They really need to make a case for the extended battery...

Online petition maybe, do those ever work?

Anyways, here's to hoping they make a compatible case....
[Epic 4G Accessories] TWO515TY:
For what it's worth, the guy who supplies the 2800 mAH Yoobao battery says he will have a case out by February 1st. That is the deciding factor for me - whoever gets an extended battery + case combo out first will get my money - if Seidio doesn't make a case for the extended battery, I'll get the 2800 or 3500 + case for much less money than the Seidio battery alone costs.
[Epic 4G Accessories] kelmar13:
Just posted a review of the battery HERE.

FYI, the Seidio battery is now available from Amazon.com for $59.99 with Free Super Saver Shipping.

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] misconcepti0n:
Tmobile wanted to give the impression of nearly 4G almost anywhere and made it so HSDPA which is 3G would appear as H AND HSPA+ would appear as H so users would believe they were getting the full HSPA experience.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] android602:

[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] the orange bandit:
the Sense ROM shows the correct network designation, whereas the T-Mobile (stock) ROM does not.

There are several 'levels' of 3G (based on theoretical speeds):

UMTS - just basic 3G. Slightly faster than EDGE, but not much

HSDPA - faster than UMTS. HSDPA is to UMTS what EDGE is to GPRS, essentially.

HSUPA - Like HSDPA, but with enhanced upload speeds

HSPA - faster again

HSPA+ - this is what T-Mobile is calling '4G'. It's not *technically* 4G, but it delivers what are generally accepted as '4G speeds' (basically the same speeds as Sprint's WiMAX and AT&T/Verizon's LTE will have).

The T-Mobile ROM shows an 'H' anytime you're using 3G or '4G' - basically, if you're not using EDGE, T-Mobile shows that you're using 'H' (which is what they call 4G).

The Sense ROM doesn't fall victim to this, and thus correctly identifies UMTS/HSPA as '3G' and only shows the 'H' when you're on an HSPA+ tower (the only time you'll see true 4G speeds).

There's nothing wrong with your phone.

I have backup 2 different rom. The stock G2 and HTC desire z modoco kitchen.

I have uploaded a pic from the stock G2 and it looks standard when viewing online but when i switch rom and upload using the desire z rom it comes out wide screen!

could it be the app that i was using? the desire z has it's own facebook app for some reason and the stock is well...using stock facebook upload.

just asking around to see if i am going crazy or someone else also notice this.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
My MyTough Slide used to do that when I switched roms. With stock it came out fine but with any 2.2 rom I got wide. I'm not sure why, but i'd wager my next paycheck that it's a difference in software.

I never really saw it as a problem, as the pics still looked good, but yes I've noticed this before too.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryrice8850:
but i want it in wide lol and for some reason it won't do it on stock? hmm
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AbsolutZeroGI:
I'm sure it's the camera software itself. Maybe a different version or a setting that's changed. My suggestion would be to experiment around with the stock camera settings to see if you can set it for wide shots. Otherwise, you can stick with a rom or upload them to your computer and edit them before posting them to FB.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fryrice8850:

There's a search button and menu button but no back button on the physical keyboard. Somebody should make a mini app that acts as a back button, so we could assign 1 of our 3 keys to the app and have that functionability.

Also a home button app could work as well for them.

[Captivate General] kamesen:
hey all,

i have a Captivate with no SIM card (only WIFI connectivity). i downloaded SIPdroid from the market and created a PBXes.com account.

i manually created an extension and trunk and configured inbound and outbound routing to access my iptel.org account. the iptel.org account makes use of my google voice number.

i get a green connection light for SIPdroid but when i place a call i only get echo on the line and a perpetual SIPdroid dialing screen. no ringtone, no answer, no ring on the other side.

any help with troubleshooting is much appreciated as im bummed out and all out of ideas right now. amidoingitrite in terms of sipdroid>pbxes>iptel>voice? :confused: thanks.
[Captivate General] curti.nogg:
I believe you have to use the browser to initiate the call or an app such as Google Voice Callback.

Do you have your google voice number setup to forward to your sip number?
[Desire HD General] dr.m0x:
Ok guys I've made the decision to run Cyanogenmod on my phone but what I've come to like on the stock desire is the htc locations offline navigation. The routing is actually pretty good, expected since tomtom were involved and now that the free 30 day trial has come to an end I need to make a decision.

Do I stick with Sense and pay for Locations service to continue, or do I stick with Cyanogenmod and pay for a different navigation software?

Can anyone please recommend me a good offline navi preferably something of similar calibre to Htc Locations. By the way I'm in New Zealand so please don't recommend something which doesn't work here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
Well, after quite a few hours of reading and frustrating attempts with no results, I have come here to see if anyone knows my problem...

I have a Samsung Captivate I897 that I am trying to run Froyo on. I have the Odin3 One Click program for it. For some reason the program will not recognize or even find the phone no matter how many times I try it. I have tried downloading multiple versions of the program, and I have even master cleared the phone a couple times since the program can find the phone then.

Here are the steps I have been using:

- Open Odin (as administrator)

- Turn off captivate

- Enter download mode by holding volume buttons and plugging into USB

- Recognised by Odin (NOT)

I have tried this on 3 computers no with the same results each time. One was XP, one Vista, and the other Win7. I don't understand what I am doing wrong, and I have been getting very frustrated. :mad:

Any suggestions from any of you experts that may have had a similar problem?

,thanks and hope this was the right place to ask this...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] whitesox311:
Have similar issues often...restart windows and unplug phone then go back in and it will work
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
Ill give it a shot but I doubt it will work... I mean, I tried it on 3 separate computers. Shouldn't that rule that part out?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dverrette:
I completely understand your frustration (anger), I have the Samsung Vibrant and I'm experiencing the same crap. I tried everything that was suggested in the forum and I have yet to get a good solution, I believe it's because of a defect in the hardware. So if you come across a solution please post what you discovered.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
There has to be some way to resolve this issue as I desperately want to get Froyo on my device. As soon as I get home today ill try and few more things and let you know if anything works.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dverrette:
Thanks, I appreciate it.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
well, I restarted the computer and tried it again... No luck unfortunately. However, I think I am going to try and flash it using nbs11's guide since that looks like it won't require odin at all... The only downside to that is the risk of having it brick in the process. Do you know if odin is the only way to get the phone out of a brick? I would hate to have that be the case only to have a phone that is not recognized by the program.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] dverrette:
So what's the name of the program you'll be using to replace Odin?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
I actually made another thread in the Captivate General forum that I have been continuing to discuss in. You have the Vibrant, but you might still be able to find out some good information. There are some more helpful replies in there.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=857905

I have been looking at the guide created by nbs11 that explains how to install froyo. It uses a program called Rom Manager that is on the app store. It looks like it does not use Odin at all and I could flash to Froyo. The only problem with this is that Odin is still the way to unbrick your phone. If I was unlucky enough to brick it, or you, then I think the phone would be permanently unusable since I don't have any idea of how to make Odin find it.

here is nbs11's guide: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=805789

I resolved the connectivity issue with my Samsung device by replacing the USB cable, it seems they become defective. I believe that may be the issue.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
Ok ill try that... hopefully it works, but it still wouldn't explain why odin can recognize when the phone is on to do a master clear. It even does the master clear correctly.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jwebster:
Make sure you are using the correct cable. I have one cable that will only charge but looks the about same.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
Well I am using the one that I got with it so it should be working...
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] firefly6240:
A couple things to check:

1. make sure you have the drivers for the captivate installed (you can get those here)

2. make sure the usb cable is tight, as a loose connection will definitly cause trouble in Odin.

heres a few things to try:

1. try a different usb port

2. try rebooting

3. take the battery out of your phone and unplug it from the usb, start up Odin and load in all the required things for your rom, then plug the usb cord into the phone and hold the volume buttons while putting the battery back in (that always gives me download mode immediatly) and see if Odin recognixes it.

4. try another computer if you can
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] yentlequible:
I have tried every one of those techniques except for getting into download mode by inserting the battery. I will try that, but I dont see it making a difference. It has to be a single problem that I have that obviously is not very common. I wouldn't doubt it either, since I always seem to have pretty bad luck with these sorts of things
[Galaxy Tab General] ghettofreeryder:
Does anyone know how to get media streaming to the tab via DLNA? I know twonky works on most files, however, TVersity and PS3 Media Server do not. Does anyone have a supported file type and codec support paper? Has anyone got a way to make all file types work, even if they have to be transcoded?
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
Dona doesn't transcode. And there's Sammy's Dona client preinstalled - its called allshare.

For crappy transfixing on the fly try vocal stream and convert.though why you want to do this when you have allshare is a mystery.
[Galaxy Tab General] ghettofreeryder:
I know DLNA itself does not transcode. I am looking to see if someone knows of a DLNA server that will transcode into the proper format for Allshare. Allshare has brutal file support, as It will not play any file I have without transcoding. Might also be a MIME type issue, just seeing how everyone is streaming to the Tab.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I have never had to transcode anything in order to dlna share with allshare. My bids are all in avi though as far as I recall. Music and images all work fine too. They are all mp3 and jpg respectively.
[Galaxy Tab General] knightnz:
I don't think it's the codec support as such but rather how the DLNA server is presenting the video to Allshare, it's obviously VERY picky as I've had no luck at all getting it to play anything that plays fine when copied to the Tab itself.

Twonky is a pretty crappy application IMHO, I've always found it very unreliable. PS3 media server might work? TVersity is a bit bloated but is another option. The latter 2 will (I believe) stream and/or transcode as needed.
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
I use miniDLNA on o rooted, Linux based NAS box. Had no problems so far. If you are or can run Linux I'd recommend miniDLNA.
[Galaxy Tab General] ritdaw:
Have you tried serviio? I use this on Win7 with my Samsung TV.
[Galaxy Tab General] ftgg99:
you can use astro to fiddle with extension headers (but i find allshare works almost flawlessly with the new official jk5 firmware)
[Galaxy Tab General] alias_neo:
Official JK5, you mean via Kies? Is it out?

If so, is it different from the Samfirmware one? Kies says to me that my device "can not" be updated, not that it "does not" need updating.

[Hero CDMA Android Development] hfelton:
nope - at least i doubt it... i must admit that i did not know what to do with this question either - and was appreciating the RTFM-type responses that were coming in...

at the risk of showing my OWN newbie-ishness... i will try to tackle this one...

OP - gmail is not an app/apk/odex(or deodex) that needs to be 'looked for' very hard...

you probably realize this, but i will spell it out - gmail is a mail-service that is hosted on-the-web by google... thus, anything that has to DO with gmail is just some sort of interface to the webmail...

what you are probably 'looking for' is the onscreen widget or shortcut that links to gmail...

is the widget for a paid-app which lists the number of unread messages in your gmail-inbox... look for it in the android marketplace...

HERE is a discussion of google decoupling the gmail-app from android - and that you should be able to (again) find the gmail-app in the marketplace...

is a couple of older screenshots of what you probably want... namely, you just want to add a shortcut or a program-shortcut to your homescreen... the way you DO that is by holding down your finger anywhere on one of your home-screens until it pops-up a message/screen...

this (adding shortcuts or widgets or programs-from-marketplace) is NOT something that an android-developer would even think to ask-about because it is so fundamental... otoh, you already got an answer to go look in the marketplace (if.nec.) - hence, this question ought tove been moved - or given a bunch of RTFM answers...

if im making a fool of myself, then so-be-it... gl, h.

btw - adding the 'odex' tag makes this 'seem' like it is important... whether something is odex or deodex is a bigger-topic than just the gmail-shortcut... and, to be fair, until i decided to write this tome - i did not understand the differences between them (odex/deodex)... but, like you said, GFE :rolleyes: h.
