[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Well I think I can safely say that this issue is NOT service area related. In the Phoenix thread newter55 posted a coverage map of 1900 and 850. So where I live in Tx barely has either. I am now in Raleigh, NC where the coverage is great! I loaded phoenix yesterday and within about 12 hours I lost service again.

I'm about a mile from a Device Support Center now and went by there at lunch yesterday. I hate being untruthful, but I told them I was experiencing random shutdowns. I told them about the rumor of the press release, etc. Anyway, they said any and all issues with the Captivate were software related. They said that they should be fix with the next release, which they said was the second week in February. Honestly, I think they are full of $hit, but oh well.

I think I am going to give up on i9000 based roms. Thank goodness Cog 3 came out last night.

Good luck with this issue guys.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zerolock:
I was posting in the other thread about this - but will move here.

I ran pheonix 3 and perception 10 - both jl3-4 modems. I have switched about on the modems also.

I tried shutting off HSUPA and sticking to 3G, but that did not solve the problem.

Yesterday's timeline:

Pheonix 3

7am - alarm goes off, phone fully charged from night stand charger. full service.

10 am - battery drained from playing a few games and watching you tube for no good reason. placed on charger - connected to laptop in kitchen (full bars)

lunch - no service - rebooted phone - pulled from charger.

4pm - again no service, rebooted phone. ~80% battery. still locked to 3g only.

6:20 - leaving for drinks with friend - no service - rebooted phone. 70% battery.

8:45 - phone on bar - full bars (as I am only 350 feet from cell tower - known location as I placed Microwave networking dishes up there years ago) slips to no service.

rebooted to recover and flashed perception 10.1

9:20 - walking out of plaza - no service on phone - rebooted roughly 50% battery power.

10:00 pm - phone on bed side charger full service slowly charging from 50%. 2am phone buzzes - check it - full charge - no service.

Also noticed - random alert noises with no txt, vm, email or gtalk messages. I assume that Pheonix was alerting to 3g or band switches.

phone bought on launch day - full wipes between flashes. own full version of rom manager.

Before all of this i tried all the i9000 modems on first page of the modems thread with perception 9 - same issues.

Personal thoughts - minor symptom of charging death, closer related to band switching and 3g/hsupa switching. error when trying to place a standard voice call (like I don't believe the no service message) is data network not available <- which makes me think it is more the HSUPA/3G than anything else.

hope this helps.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Hey guys, just want to check something out. Right now running Firefly with the cog 3.01 kernel/modem installed and no issues.

I wanted to revisit this and check something. If someone would, from the dialer do a *#0011# and that brings up some info. Use the soft menu button and select Back and do this a couple time until you get to the Main Menu. then choose Version Info, HW Version, Read HW Version. Mine is HW Version: REV0.4

There is also a READ FTA HW Version, mine is REV0.1

I'm just wondering if there are any other HW versions, and if so does this trend follow the HW version.

If any of you have a captivate that WORKS with i9000 modems check that too and see if there is a difference.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
Thanks for the update. Not really sure if it will help either but my HW Version is the same but the FTA Version is 1.0. For me it's the i9000 kernel/modem combo that is causing the problem and not the rom. I've been running a cog rom with i9000 kernel/modem for several weeks but still have to reboot a few times following a full charge.

Another user posted that 2.2.1 kernel's 2.2.1 modems also "fixes" the random no service issue. Going to try darky's rom today and test. If this is true then I'll be satisfied...for now :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ozone777:
I recently traded my 1006 build in for a 1009 and no longer have the disconnect problem. I checked the HW Version and it is the same (REV0.4). But the FTA HW Version on mine is REV1.0 not REV0.1 as you show.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsc7080xsc:
So where do I find the steps again to change the mode ? I used to have an app that let me access those menus, but I can't find it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bsc7080xsc:
Did that work ? Have you tried this on a JPY based i9000 ROM ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bobbylx:
Nope. Nothing worked. I've tried GSM only, wcdma 1900 only, 850 only, tried 2g/3g toggles, and different service areas. Tried experimenting with charge, no change. No matter what, service drops eventually. No luck. I really think there is an issue with the physical hardware and the way the modem software works with it.

Just got off the phone with ATT and getting replacement shipped to me this week. Hopefully I'll get a newer version and can forget this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djazin:
too many legos not enough cappies XD

Ive had the same issues, I noticed that even with a custom cappy kernel and a att cappy modem the service was erm.. lucky I didnt send the phone through the window. I'm on paragon rc4 with the jk4 modem and kernel included full bars no signal blackouts have not tested it outside my area code though driving all over as far as I can tell full service with HSDA lock. So point is jk4 and speed mod kernel has my vote on any open rom for cappy (locked roms would be indicated with working well with a certain kernel). Though I might switch to the kernel it was based off. At the moment noticing some issues from not master clearing after flashing to stock nothing major service is good and fast, waiting on the next release before I clear it up.

~Azin

=Update=

Speed mod k12s seemed to cleanup most of the glitches leftover from not master clearing, still waiting on rc5 though jk4 and speed mod is a good fit least in my area.

Mine is still doing it :( running cm7 right now and it also did it with andromeda. Sigh..
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
use the kb1 modem if your running cm7. worked for me!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jojii:
The kb1 modem works for the cm7 kernal, but when you speak the other party will hear static along with your voice.

Since you can use both i9000 and captivate modems on the same kernal. This leads me to believe

that some captivate radios just are having troubles with i9000 modems software. Unfortunately I'm in this group as well. Hopefully somebody will find a way to be able to use captivate modems properly on non captivate native kernals.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
Yeah KB1 isn't a silver bullet unfortunately. To me this is still better than the need to reboot after my battery charges to a certain level. Also, since my ear doesn't suffer from the call quality issues I don't mind as much :P

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] derek_h77:
get the phone exchanged under warranty if you can. i finally got a refurb last week and haven't had the problem since.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vaickiballs:
I have the same issue since I flashed into CM7.1, before that, I had strangely problems with service (Official Froyo) , sometimes I had to turn off the phone and extract the battery to get it work, restarting wasn't enough.

Now with CM every ****ing day service gets lost and I think that, in my case, is related with the battery because only happens at the morning, with fully battery charged.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brswattt:
Does this drain the battery a lot? I need it sometimes when I can't hear my ringtone.
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zervic:
I ALWAYS have my phone on vibrate...if im not fiddling with the phone all day (which I usually am lol) it'll last me from 0700 when I take it off the charger til about 7 or 8, so figure 12-13 hours...if I am fiddling with it, when I get home around 4, I typically have ~30% left...please note when I say fiddling I mean facebook, texting, xda app, angry birds. I also have my screen brightness set to 25% or whatever the lowest is with notification power widget...so, there's many things that drain your battery as im sure you know and id be willing tto bet that unless you're using dildroid app, the vibrate will hardly effect the battery life :)

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfs_mihai:
Hi,

This morning i've updated my Android to 2.29, from 2.2 (something). Initially it failed to install due to lack of space (did not have the required 25 mb minimum).

Now, in my list of downloaded applications I see a com.htc.fotafailnotify and everything is 0.00kb.

Is this a result of that failure and can I uninstall it without any unpleasant consequences?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfs_mihai:
Can't anyone at least tell me what this is?

It shows up under Settings-> Applications -> Manage Applications -> Downloaded (tab)

Just now I have uninstalled it. Nothing happened but I still want to know what it was and what it does.

Any help is greatly appreciated. Google did not get me any useful info.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rolfd:
It looks like some kind of notificaton for a failed update from ota downloads. The first part of the name "fota" is firmware over the air.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cfs_mihai:
In that case, I suppose it's ok to uninstall. Already did, anyway.

Thank you for your reply!

I was looking for an app similar to the droidx unlock my phone has, Ive been browsing the system/app folder looking for what the apk might be to titanium backup over to my gtablet. Id like some kind of security on my tablet too lol
[G Tablet General] anlog:
The stock ROM and TNT Lite (based on stock ROM) do not have the ability to lock the screen on an OS level. Some of the components are there (the ability to set a password, for example), but it's missing the pieces to actually lock the screen (manually or with 3rd party apps). In addition, the OS itself has no built in protection, so even setting a passcode won't prevent someone from plugging in a USB cable and accessing the file system.

Until someone releases a TrueCrypt type application, this thing pretty much has zero security...
[HTC Aria Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Freemantig:
I have cm6.1 and have moved ever app possible except for beautiful widgets and a couple other widgets but I still only have 30ish mb of internal memory. Will a2sd allow me to install everything to the SD card. I haven't read much about it because I assumed the a2sd integrated in cm6 was as good as it get but i recently read a post where someone had about 70 apps installed and 160mb of internal memory left. If there is any method better than a2sd that would allow this can someone please point me in the right direction or give me some fairly detailed instructions on the whole process of setting it up.

Thanks for any help in advance.

It's so cool !!! pls x10 dev do it for us :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] Zer0_:
You should request it in this thread:

Android Software and Hacking General

Ask someone to mod it for 2.1 and for phones like Nexus 1, X10, Htc Desire, etc. (I forgot what the name of those keyboards were) :)
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ratheen:
So i finally posted this request in the android dev section and this is what i got.

you need to have recovery installed on the x10. see link below:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

once recovery is installed, install the zip that can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865501

i have tried this and it works, so far so good,

just one thing, if you have changed the LCD density on the phone, the keyboard size may shrink for you (it has for me, but i like it as it takes less space on the screen)

hope this helps
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ratheen:
i did just that and got it.

thanks for the tip
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
Hi can your give us a step by step guide?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ratheen:
Hi,

So these are the steps i followed

Goto :

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=859571

download the file (recovery) from there, it's an APK file, install it and open the application to install recovery on the x10.

****YOU NEED TO HAVE ROOT to install recovery****

once recovery is installed, install the zip that can be found here:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=865501

there are two options here, one is a keyboard that has fat / big buttons and the second one that is a slimmed down version.

make your choice and pick / download one

place the file in the rood directory of the SD Card

reboot the phone and when you see the SE logo press "Back" a few times which will open the recovery menu.

*use the volume up down to scroll back to go back and menu to select*

choose the option to go to the "Install Custom Zip", choose to install a zip from SD Card, scroll to the file (that you downloaded and placed in the SD Card) and then select "Yes install"

then back back and reboot.

That should work.

it worked for me
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
ok, i will manage this, do i need the new voice search?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] ratheen:
nope, not required.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
I could not enter recovery anymore, so i did some research:

if you installed 2.1 custom AOSP b006 and rooted with z4root, you have the wrong version of busybox installed and will not be able no access recovery.

Solution: Open the "xRecovery-0.1-release.apk" with a zip manager and extract busybox from /res/raw. Copy to SD card and use root explorer to copy the busybox file into /system/bin (overwrite the original one, make sure you mount R/W) and set permissions to rwxr-xr-x.

Now you should be able to access recovery mode by pressing back button at boot. Just follow the instructions a few posts above from here on :)

Cheers

Did you have to rename the file to update.zip?

Ok figured it out didn't scroll down far enough, works but not in landscape not that I every really use landscape but for those that do i doesn't work at least not on my end. Thanks ratheen for keeping us updated.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
No, you have the option "install custom zip" in recovery mode, where you can browse for a .zip on your SD card.
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] anders260:
is this just in english?
[XPERIA X10 Themes and Apps] qwer23:
no, it seems to be multilanguage. Didn't change anything and it's german for me. I think it just replaces original android KB and uses the built-in dictionaries.

Download lcd density free from market, it need root. Open it and set it just the same as default, which is 240 for our phone. Now push apply and reboot.....tadaaaaaaaa...perfect keyboard:

So a complete "How to" for the newbees:

Download from the link from the topicstarter the 2.1 keyboard, first post second download

Install it like a normal app.

Check the "Gingerbread Keyboard" box in settings "Keyboard and Language"

Open for instance SMS and when you are on the text input field long press on it.

Choose "Gingerbread Keyboard"

Download LCD Density from the market and set it at 240 (which is already our default one)

Tap "Apply and reboot"

After reboot check out your new big keyboard.
