No, as a rule if you are installing the same type of ROM ie aosp you don't have to wipe so everything should be retained, if swapping between different types of ROM ie aosp - sense then a wipe and subsequent reinstall is required

As for Nandroid its the backup option in recovery console and it takes a snapshot of the current ROM which if you where to restore would put your system back to its current state
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterminater07:
Hello everyone. Yes I know everyone is saying "oh god not another random shutdown thread!" Hehe but believe me I am not one of those that goes on here and just decide to post up a thread and not do any researching! I have been diggin my freaking eyeballs out by staring at over 50 plus pages of forums on here and on google! So far no answers :(

I believe the problem started ever since I upgraded to the leaked Froyo 2.2 of designgears and rooted it. So far I have not installed any apps such as task killer or anything that could cause this problem. I found out this morning by waking up and my phone is not on after charging it. Alot of people state they are fine with the leaked 2.2 and that it is not froyo thats doing this but then a lot of people also said that the leaked froyo 2.2 has a problem with the power management and is a bug.

I am literally about to go blind if I keep on reading any more threads, well not blind but will get a horrible migraine headache. Now can someone point me to the right direction to what I need to do?

Should I restore back to 2.1 eclaire using Odin's one click method and then do the over the air update from att? Would that fix the problem or do I need to return the phone, which is unlikely because no one is claiming it's the phone. Plus I just literally got the phone like a week ago brand new.

Please help me out and other newcommers to the android scenes :) Thank you for your time!!:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
This is a known issue with his oc/uv versions. You can flash back to stock using the One Click Odin and the try one of the non-oc/uv versions to see if you have any better luck.

I'm on the non-oc version of Perception 8 and do not have the charging death trouble.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterminater07:
Thank you very much for this reply. What is oc/uv version mean? Can you elaborate more on it? I will try to revert back to stock 2.1 eclaire but I really want to have the froyo on this phone cause I heard it's much much better?!? Will Perception 8 do that or is it just a simple theme/UI change? I was going to try digigaff's rom and the cognition rom but will that make my phone a froyo or it's still a eclaire?

Oh btw, I also read that you have to use odin to flash to stock rom to use those, does that mean I have to flash back to 2.1 anyways since froyo is not supported?

Edit 1: This is the digigaff rom that I was talking bout, but I noticed he mentioned it being oc also, which I think isn't good to do on these phones bc of the back being metal and gets hot?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
oc = overclocked

uv = under volted

No I wouldn't think overclocking would be a great idea. I mean, what kind of applications are you running? It's not like we're trying to solve world hunger or launch the next rocket into orbit. Applications run just fine @ 1ghz. Anyone that tells you any different is probably running an application that is poorly coded.

Perception is based on a Bell (Canadian) I9000 Froyo Rom. Cognition is a great way to get Froyo on your phone as it is way more user friendly. I started with the Cognition roms when I started my flashing.

Just remember to read as much as you can about the rom you want to use, have backups of applications and data (most use Titanium Backup) to restore (not system data as this will cause problems) after you flash and have a good plan on how to recover when something goes wrong. We've all had to flash to stock and start over again at least once.

Good luck and welcome to the forums!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xterminater07:
I see so perception is build on the froyo core, but I have to make sure I have to flash back to eclaire 2.1 before flashing back again to the perception? So the leaked 2.2 froyo on this site as well as all the other sites are a result of a oc/uv "beta'' copy and not like a official release?

did you check out digigaff's rom to see if it's ok to use for the captivate or would that rom oc it?
[Droid Incredible General] sdnegus:
rooted using unrevoked, clockwork, cm6 RC2. terrrrrrible battery. anyone else have this issue? fixes?
[Droid Incredible General] chemical1der:
have you flashed any of the CM6 nightlies yet? the last 4 or 5 are using a new kernel that vastly improves battery life. there are also really awesome features that are not in the first iteration of RC2.

if you're not happy with kernel in the latest cm6 nightlies there are other options as well. go to the Android Development section and flash invisiblek's latest ASOP kernel (#17). it's gives wonderful battery life.

hope this helps.

Hi all. I just posted to the market this widget which basically shows the clock with current date, battery status, next alarm, network operator and more. Most of it is configurable (which information to show, which color to use). I will add more customizations in the future.

P.S. it seems that on Galaxy S widget has some issues, pleasepleaseplease contact me before giving "1 star" for this, i don't have a galaxy s and i'm trying to understand whats going wrong.

If you want to give it a try here is the appbrain page:

[Android Apps and Games] neostan:
@johnuopini hey the time is showing incorrectly when used as a widget in i9000..Its intermitent, not rated yet.If you need any help I should be able to help you
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Thanks for calling me a liar in the market description. On my galaxy s it always runs eating 10mb of ram even if the widget it not on the home screen. You admit you've never tested this on galaxy s. Maybe you should try your app on more varied hardware before calling your potential customers liars

I seems like anyone time anyone tries to report a bug in the market you just edit the description saying that's not true
[Android Apps and Games] johnuopini:
Hi Ben,

first of all i've never used the term "liar" or anything near that, maybe i wrote that its not true that the widget eats memory or stays in background if nothing its on the screen and that's because i have tested it on a galaxy s (info on the widget its outdated), i have many friends from google that are using it on nexus s which is quite similar so im quite sure about that. Probably it takes 5 to 10 minutes once removed to autokill itself but it will disappear.

Moreover i don't understand people like you who writes "1 star" comments like that. Most of the widget in the market, i would say 90% of them, have background processes that are there even if no widget is on screen, does this make them "1 star" just for that or you think this could be in some way linked to Android APIs? I don't think this is fair considering that you are not paying anything for the widget, i don't see your comment as very useful for the community, that's all.

I could go into technical details and explain you why this is happening so often but there is a lot of docs around.

Finally, if you are not using my widget, just uninstall it.

Regards.
[Android Apps and Games] BenKranged:
Yeah any app, widget etc that runs when not open or in use I do rate 1 actually. Google market allows users to rate however they see fit

No other widgets on my phone run when not in use. They dont have to be uninstalled
[Android Apps and Games] johnuopini:
Try a reboot with widget removed and you will see that its not there anymore, or wait 5 minutes and, again, you will se that the process is not there, im SURE i have tested it yesterday on a Galaxy S.

Anyway no problem with the "really not useful" 1 star comment but an email before rating would have been nice, maybe one day you will develop some free software and understand what i mean.

Ciao.
[Android Apps and Games] Richard Manns:
I rather like your widget (just got the paid version), but there are a few niggles...

1) The date format flips between US (December 11) and European (11 December) depending on how long it is. Perhaps link that format to the global settings?

2) Might be nice to be able to create your own formats, or add a few text areas.

3) Personal thing, the year on its own might be nice.

4) Not sure what's wrong with the font selection, but I think you're working on that already.

These are by no means major, this is a lovely app (run on a rooted Galaxy S2).
[Android Apps and Games] johnuopini:
Hi there! Thanks for support going pro!

1) Really? I'm not able to reproduce that issue, sounds weird, i will try to check

2) Custom text will be there soon so you can create text as you like, also next areas will be supported

3) I will add this on next release

4) I will add a font search through all the system soon, stay tuned (i have not much time to devel recently)

Thanks again for feedback / support!!

Will be buying the pro version soon. Thanks again!
[Android Apps and Games] Qrckko:
Great widget, I paid for pro version. :-)

Can you explain me how to get short format of #NEXTALARM#?

Simple alarm time would be also nice as "Next alarm at 05:45"

Hi,

my YouTube app is not working property. I can watch videos on m.youtube.com but that is all. On any other web site it is just not working. When the pages loads the video doesn't.

I tried HR and reinstall the app. That did not help at all.

Anyone with same problem..?
[HD7 General] ironlood:
Whats your version number of the youtube app do you have

Sent from my futuristic phone
[HD7 General] element332:
Well the latest one.. It is not working since i got the phone over a month ago..

SO it is working to you guys..?

It is working to my friend on HTC Trophy so i thought that it can be just O2 UK HD7 having this problem..because they fiddled with the IE..
[HD7 General] trecoll:
All the youtube app does is open m.youtube.com and plays the videos.

It redirects www.youtube.com to m.youtube.com, proivded your IE settings are set to mobile view, not desktop view.

Mines an unlocked o2 HD7 (on t-mobile) and it seems to be working fine like described...
[HD7 General] element332:
YouTube App on WP7 can also play YouTube videos on other sites.

For example you can add youtube video to the post in forums like XDA.. Or if you go to pocketnow.com all videos there are on YouTube..

And then when you are on site that has YouTube video you can jsut play it.. When the page loads you can then click on the little image of the video and YouTube WP7 App will start playing it..

Well and that is not working for me.. When the page loads the video doesn't...

All i can do is go to m.youtube.com that works ok...
[HD7 General] bernaserra:
As far as I know and have read the youtube app is simply a wrapper for m.youtube.com which doesn't always have all the videos.
[HD7 General] element332:

sounds like a bad flash to me your best bet would to either to odin back to stock or even just try reflashing your ROM
[Epic 4G General] ashtro:
yea i was thinking that...im new the whole flash thing i never rooted or messed with the epic...the dk28 went over really well...i should of kept it cuz im sure everyone will post when the real froyo comes out.....should i just try to reflash the file i used when doing back to DI18...i used odin...
[Epic 4G General] igotsthemagicinme:
ah your using odin ok im sorry i assumed you were rooted/running a custom build. hmm...yea that definatly has to be a bad odin flash id give it another go you COULD try a factory reset, just to see what happens, and if that doesnt work yes go ahead with the odin reflash
[Epic 4G General] ashtro:
yea im confused...reflashed again i just wana make sure that its not me under accounts and sync if u have facebook there should be 2 acounts for your 1 profile correct?? cuz like i said if i click the persons photo on my contacts the little menu comes up to either call text email...but no facebook i use to have that feature...
[Epic 4G General] ashtro:

[Droid X General] DNak206:
So I haven't rooted yet and have been super pleased with Launcher Pro Plus so far in terms of customization, the social networking widgets, etc.

Going out of town tomorrow morning, driving to Arizona and could REALLY benefit from having wifi tether for the trip. Worth rooting just for that? I figure I can always revert back but once I root, do I lose the UI as I have it now, meaning will I be FORCED to choose a new rom once I do so or does it essentially stay the same and give me the 'option' of flashing a new ROM?

Thanks.
[Droid X General] Mustang02:
Yes, it's worth it. No you don't need a custom rom or anything else. You won't even notice you're rooted other than the SuperUser icon in your app drawer.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Word, thanks. Looks like z4root is no longer in the market, will search around for another option I guess.
[Droid X General] Mustang02:
Save the .apk to your SDCard and then run it from the local explorer, called files I think. Can't remember since I'm on the RubiX rom.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Right on, found an apk, put to SD card and am now doing the permanent root. Icon spinning, how long this take out of curiosity?
[Droid X General] Mustang02:
Not very long. Make sure your SDcard isn't mounted to your PC via USB Mass Storage or PC Mode. Charge only setting will allow your phone to be mounted to itself.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Didn't know I had to be USB'd to my PC, assumed once the apk was local to the device I'd be okay. Looks like it's finally rebooting now.
[Droid X General] Mustang02:
You shouldn't have to but that's the only way I've found my phone to work with the z4root app.
[Droid X General] DNak206:
Thank you man for your help, rooted and wireless tether is working. Now to find out what else I can do (simply anyway) now that I'm rooted. Themse and stuff sound appealing but with Launcher Pro Plus, not sure what is out there. Will dig around, thanks again!

NP. Root opened a whole new world for you, just be careful what you do. Read twice, execute once or else you'll get to know how to SBF back to stock really well.

Reading your posts and have some questions

Sorry to bud in , I'm new to this and have been reading your posts and others. I have a few questions So, the .apk can be run from the phone with usb power connected to pc? Also the z4root has an unroot option? One more question, no teathering app is needed or not? Hope I don't sound to dumb!
[Droid X General] DNak206:
I found the file by doing a simple search, saved it to my pc, used the USB chord to transfer it to my card on my phone. After that, I unplugged the chord and ran it from the phone (seeing how I didn't think I need the PC connection any longer).

As for tethering, I'm using "Wifi Tether" which is working, and tried Barnacle but Wifi Tether seems to work better. Anyone know if wired tethering would be faster? If so, what are you using? VPN-ing for work is SUPER slow via wifi tether.
[Captivate General] ninjuh:
So I got my captivate a few months ago, coming from the iPhone 3G & 3Gs(both great phones) and although I dragged my feet making the transition, I can honestly say I'm happy with my decision to get the Captivate as apposed to the iPhone 4. Here's why:

The iPhone is a great phone. Nobody can argue that. It has the best music player, best web browser, smoothest UI, best design, etc.

IMHO no other phone will be as good as the iPhone out of the box.

But when it comes to phones and technology, put simply, I'm a tweaker. I like to **** with things, experiment, add personal touches, etc,. In short, the iPhone doesn't really let you do that. The iPhone is the iPhone and the Captivate is more like a mini computer.

The iPhone "just works", there's nothing to **** with, and to me that takes all the fun out of it :)

I'd rather have a phone that "I" make work the way I want it to, rather than a phone that "Apple" makes work the way THEY want it to.

When it comes down to it I think it just depends on what kind of tech junky you are and what your use of the phone is going to entail.

For me, I'm gonna enjoy tweaking out on my phone for the next 2 years :D

K rant is done, that is all.
