[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] asengupt:
Still not working with a mac

All:

Just an update to the issue - the Captivate still refuses to be recognized by ADB, although it works fine on the same machine when I boot into Windows and use Samsung Kies.

On the Mac side, I can mount the files when USB debugging is on by going to the USB status icon and selecting Mount storage. The Mac even recognizes the connection as a new network connection (although I simply ignore that part). So looks like the USB subsystem on my Mac is somehow not recognizing the ADB communication. I upgraded to android release 8 and still the same problem.

Is there a way to completely reset the USB subsystem on a Mac without having to reinstall the OS?

Thanks so much - the weird thing is that the captivate worked okay for a week or so before deciding not to work with adb any more - I can still generate apks and sideload the apks into the device but I would really like to be able to do some on-device debugging.

Thanks so much for any help that you guys can give.

SOLVED - ADB Issue with Captivate

All:

After quite a bit of research finally figured out why ADB will not recognize the captivate (or for that matter any other android device). The problem was because I had installed EasyTether. Its a pretty nice software and pretty easy to use to tether android devices, unfortunately it kills adb's usb capabilities.

I found this issue in EasyTether's FAQ area so if anybody else is having the same problem you will need to unload the EasyTether Kernel Extension (unfortunately that didn't totally fix the problem for me - I kept losing communication intermittently so I ultimately removed Easytether from my mac as well as from the Captivate and now I can see the device in adb again).

Just thought I would share the solution with the rest of the very helpful community.

Hey I'm wondering if anyone out there can help me out with my gallery app. It doesn't seem to pick up any pics I have on my sd card. I can take a pic and save it but will disappear from my gallery. I have to open the pic thru root explorer to view it. Does anybody know how to fix this problem? I've deleted my thumbnails and am guessing I deleted something I shouldn't have. I reflashed the stock rom and still have the same issue..Someone plz help :confused:

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ianian28:
Forgive me if this is in the wrong location - but I've asked in the dev thread and haven't gotten an answer.

I love the miui ROM...only thing is that I can't seem to mount the internal storage. When I hook it up to my computer, all I can see is the SD card. Anybody know a work around for this? Or am I the only one having this problem?

Thanks!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dlm4849:
Would love to know the answer to this too.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wisenick:
here's what I've figured out

Miui is a A.O.S.P. rom, and A.O.S.P. stands for Android Open Source Project, so it's based on a completly stock rom.

It seems the AOSP roms have problems with internal storage on the Incredible, such as cyanogen. Cyanogen found a fix for this but it's still not 100% like a sens rom. I believe this is bcause the Nexus one doesn't have much for intenal storage.

This is also why the Miui rom and other AOSP roms only have a 5 mp camera.

I don't believe there will be a release any time soon with internal storage BECAUSE "NIX" the dev of Miui, is only porting the rom to the Incredible, he isn't really developing the rom. the miui rom devs are in Asia and i doubt they have droid incredibles.

My question is why does Angry Birds keep force closing
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wwinson:
A fully charged battery will remain 30% after 5 hr in power off device. The power drain seriously when the device is on.

It seems that it is not battery problem.

My testing steps like following :

Test 1:

1. Full charge the battery.

2. Remove the battery from phone and place in somewhere.

3. 5 hr later. Put it back to phone and power on. Phone show the battery is 100%

Test 2:

1. Full charge the battery.

2. Power off the device. Remove the battery and place it back. (make sure the OS is totally not in running).

3. 5 hr later. Power on the device and the battery remain 30%. The back side of the device is little warm (before power on).

I think this is hardware problem. I can't send to do maintenance because I unlocked the bootloader. So my question is : which part of my phone is going wrong ? Is it possible to repair besides HTC ? and How much will it cost ?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pukemon:
call htc and see what they say. take the chance on sending it in. it would seem they are ignoring the unlocked bootloaders.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] izmar:
Don't worry, you can send it in. I have never heard of someone being turned away because they unlocked the bootloader.

I've done it, trust me.

Just send it in for a warranty replacement! You'll get a phone shipped to you, then use the box it came in to ship your old one back!

[Nexus One General] tameracingdriver:
I've just voted... for the HTC Desire. I just think it's the best all round phone HTC has produced. Relatively inexpensive - for a long time, cheaper than the N1 by quite a margin in the UK. I much prefer the hardware buttons on it and would rather have those than the flashing trackball; personally the soft buttons of the nexus one are one of the worst things about it - unresponsive and frustrating. Also, plain vanilla android is not for me - out of the box, it looks bland, and has a very beta feel about it, IMO the Sense UI on the Desire really gives that phone a kick up the arse and is the best front end on any phone outside the iphone IMO (quite possibly better in many ways). OK, I know you can get apps which replace the built in ones and flash themes and ROMs which change the appearance, but many seem to add their own foibles and bugs, and I end up going back to stock.

I've never had the pleasure of the likes of the Evo... we do have the Desire HD over here, but the screen is a bit of a disappointment IMO - big yes, but slightly washed out looking and the battery life is appalling.

For me, the Desire hit a sweet spot - powerful, a pleasure to use, and relatively affordable, and still doesn't look too shabby now thats its almost a year old. Of course, neither does the N1, but for me, the hardware buttons and better UI push it out into the lead. Horses for courses, of course.

This is what I was asking you :confused: if your phone doesn't turn on at all whatsoever, you have a brick. At that point, there is nothing you can do to fix the phone other than replacing the motherboard. Maybe the battery is dead? check check check. If the screen lights up in any way or the buttons do, you can get into download mode and use odin to re-flash back to original firmware. If your phone doesn't light up at all, you cannot fix it.

Stop posting go read.

If you have a hardware locked vib you cannot enter download via key combination. Have you entered it via key combo before?

Take out battery. Hold Vol Up and Down and power. Plug USB in. Put Battery in. Wait till vibrant or battery charge flashes one time. Release power but continue to hold vol buttons. Wait 20 seconds or so, and you should get into the yellow triangle download mode. Then if that doesnt work, you have a hardware locked one and have to make a jig homie.

If it is hardware locked, put away the pone and call t-mobile.

I have known-ed a couple members here who has received a bad phone, when something like this happens and it will not go into download mode, perhaps it hardware locked.

If it is hardware locked, put away the pone and call t-mobile. Trust me, this is the best that you can do. Tell them what happened and they will send you another phone.

This update that bricked your phone was though no fault of your own. Let them send you another phone, explain to them exactly what happened and let it go.

All of the frustration that you are experiencing is not worth it.

Chances are that your next vibrant will not be hard ware lock and you will be able to enter into download mode in two seconds, trust me.

let it go. it's out of your hands, there will be other opportunities to experience the android roms around here, trust me.

When you get your new phone, you'll know exactly that I am talking about. ;)

If your phone is hardware locked and you can't use adb, or recovery mode, and a jig is not working......let it go, move on.

I didn't think the Vibrant could be 'bricked'. Believe me, I've been in some scary situations, but I always pulled through by searching XDA and YouTube. My instincts are telling me "user error", but to be fair I don't physically have the phone to see for myself.

[G Tablet General] ByByIpad:
Intitially the saleman informed me that 15% restocking fee is charged on all Home Electronics Products. I informed him that contradicts Sears written policy:

1. "if returned without the original packaging, used, "AND" that do not have all the original accessories included will be charged a 15% restocking fee."

Furthermore:

2. "Home Electronics returned in opened boxes "MAY", but "NEED NOT BE", determined to have been used.

After I explained this to the Salesclerk and the Store Manager, the gave me the full refund.

Needless to say, although my experience with the Viewsonic Tablet stock was less than desirable. I'm glad that the Sears return policy ,if adhered to, is still #1.

[G Tablet General] CartmanTheTub:
sears.com/shc/s/nb_10153_12605_NB_CSreturns?adCell=WF&adCell=WF

(go to sears website then on the bottom, mouse over "customer service" and you will see return policy)

"Home Electronics returned in opened boxes "MAY", but "NEED NOT BE", determined to have been used."

this does not make much sense to me. so even if they do determine that it been used, they will not charge restock fee if everything is in the box like it was brand new?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
As posted previously (about a month ago), the "and" is a killer for their return policy. This wording sets a lot of things up before they can charge the 15%.

By accident, but VERY consumer friendly, none the less ;)

Even if the device was not "defective" (no Flash out of box and acclerometer issues) they could still NOT charge it unless all conditons met in the clause.

You can unlock it and use it on att however you only get to use edge. No 3g. I used my old adp1 on att for over a year. Edge is fine for normal stuff like maps and gps.
