[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wphilly:
Good evening! This post is meant to serve as a (hopefully) comedic recounting of what wonderful maladies one can concoct using a simple recipe of two parts impatience and one part ignorance (pro tip: add a dash of overconfidence for added goodness!).

First the ignorance. I am a Mac user. There, I said it. I've always considered myself a bit tech-savvy, and at various times over the past twenty-five years or so, I've dabbled in operating systems ranging from my first Commodore 64, through MSDOS, Windows, BSD, Linux, and finally on to Mac OS X. I've been quite happy and comfortable here. When my iPhone suffered a tragic death at the hands of a hardwood floor this past summer, I broke from the family and purchased a Captivate. Aside from the GPS, I've loved it. I rooted it the same day, and as soon began flashing ROMs onto it. Most recently, I was running Cognition 2.3b6. I realize now that my previous experiences do not serve to make me a "power user," but rather simply a dangerous amateur.

Now the impatience. When I upgraded to Cognition 2.3b6 from 2.4.1, I tried downloading directly to my phone via the browser, but I was informed that such a download was not supported. Today, I decided to try out 2.3b7, and I thought I'd outsmarted that pesky limitation by downloading to my computer and transferring it to my phone via Dropbox (which I just obtained, and which seems awesome so far). I could have waited until I got home and transferred it via USB, but then I had an entire 50 minutes of class remaining, and who wants to suffer through class and then a train ride under such anticipation?! I rebooted into recovery, chose the correct option, navigated to dropbox/ and selected my .zip file. A minute or so after it began flashing, I received an error, advising me that a path was incorrect, or something to that effect. Ah yes, I remembered, when flashing a ROM, I need to copy the file to the root directory of the SD card. I'll just do that n-- AT&T World Phone screen. Hmm, this is taking some time. Hmm, this has taken ten minutes. Hmm, this is apparently the new limit of my phone's capacity for operation.

Now is a wonderful time to be a Mac user. Since, you know, we lack Odin support. Thankfully, I was a beta tester for a previous version of Windows, which I will have to install via Boot Camp and attempt to clean up the mess I've made. I'll post a followup after I've attempted this. Hopefully anybody reading this will find a bit of humor; I sure am laughing at myself ;)

TL;DR - Mac user who screwed up his device, now having to Boot Camp Windows to fix it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] norcal einstein:
So ideally, you should have flashed back to JF6 before trying to flash 2.3B7. Although I guess that's easier said then done for you since us Windows users can use Odin to go back to JF6 before a flash.

Hopefully you can put your phone in Download Mode and recover it with Odin!

Goodluck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
I have not got it working yet but I am a real novice. Heimdall will allow you to flash stock with mac. It is more involved then odin but if you know your way about computers it should be useful

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wphilly:
Yeah, I was looking for that! Had some trouble with Boot Camp, so I'm giving it a shot on a friend's Windows PC right now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wphilly:
Okay, resolution!

I followed the Odin3 One Click option from a friend's PC. Took a few tries to get the correct combo to get my phone into download mode, but eventually got it (I believe it was volume up&down + plug in, but I've had a few glasses of wine, so I forget now). Flashed back to JF6, then flashed Cog 2.3b7. Everything appears to be working fine!

Cheers! If anybody needs further detail, please feel free to reply to this or PM me.

All the best,

Randy

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xredjokerx:
its sooo true.. its the most dangerous when you have a little bit of knowledge because then you often dive into something you don't completely have a grasp over, but you think you do ;D. i know firsthand but with my car, which quickly became a more expensive hobby than phone flashing lol...

at the same time, you can't be discouraged by failing or messing things up, or you'll never learn. i guess the underlying lesson is to do all your research about a topic before you jump into anything that could potentially destroy the object haha.

glad you got it to work! :)
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] dsbfidda:
Hi there, looking for some info/help with connecting a htc mda compact iv as a wifi router to a laptop (or desktop) but through a wifi bridge such as the OpenMedia VAP11G.

I can set up the HTC to act as a wifi router (through to o2) when I use my laptops built in wifi system but if I switch this off and plug in a wifi bridge the bridge does not detect the HTC phone.

Is this a software or hardware problem? If it is a hardware problem does anyone know a wifi bridge that will detect the htc phone?

Note that according to the htc phone set up this is wep and according to the wifi bridge manual it works with wep.

Above is for a experiment with a wifi bridge connected to a dreambox communicating to internet through the htc phone but need to get the bridge to recognise the htc first.

Thanks for any replies.
[Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV General] kamscam:
Openmedia wifi bridge to HTC HD2 or HTC Desire HD

Hi

I also have the same problem ive been trying for days to get this to work... so anyone out there with any advice would be appreciated

I just cannot get the wifi bridge to connect to the HTC i have tried on my HTC hd2 and also

on the HTC desire HD it works mobile connection to opmenmedia wifi bridge so must be a software issue

Anyone!!! please your advice to would be greatly appreciated!

if my question isnt clear :

when i load it into my phone i get this : http://img221.imageshack.us/img221/2171/devicet.png

tnx for helping already :D
[Android Themes] nikosrs4:
Use desktop visualizer. You can use an image as an icon and if you use lpp or adw you can resize it and have a stretched icon.

(I hope i'm not wrong, it's been a while i've used dv)

[Android Themes] gkenny1991:
il test it right now!

will post edit when i got it :p

edit: stil got same problem when i use desktop visualizer

btw im using launcherpro plus

how can i stretch the icon ?
[Android Themes] nikosrs4:
I'm assuming you add it as a widget. If so, hold your finger on the widget, an orange box will come up and you can stretch the bottom right corner up to the desirable size.

Sent from my HTC Desire
[Android Themes] johnny quest:
it depends where you want to place your icon. if its in the dock area then I believe those icons are set at a 72x72. Some people, I myself, do a dock with the text on it and then blank out the other icons with a long press and pick "change shortcut" then pick the "X". thats a more simple way of doing it. with this way you have 480x85 to play around with opposed to 72x72.

but, if you're using it as a widget then I will do what "nikosrs4" said.

I hope this helps you out.
[Android Themes] gkenny1991:
thank you !! when i added it to my homescreen as a widget with desktop visualizer i could chose a 4x1 widget and that was what i needed ! ( i yust added application , not widget lol :D )

Rev6 allows for HSDPA and HSUPA for high speed down and up, Rev5 allows only HDSPA for downlink.

[Wildfire General] 4ndroid:
Hi guys,

I have a wildfire, that I successfully rooted and flashed to WildPuzzle last night.

Since then it can't seem to access my location.

On the home page it says "My Location"

The first time I open Google Maps after a restart it says "Login Failed".

Google Maps shows only blue around the compass arrow.

If I choose "Sign In" then try to sign in with me account, it just tells me that this account is already on the phone.

If I go back from here to the map, it just stays stuck on "Signing In"

Edit: Ok, I dropped down the little yellow triangle in the upper left and granted permission.

It says I'm signed into the account, but the map is still all blue.

I've tried going to Google, clearing the cache and location and signing back in, but it's always the same.

Any help?
[Wildfire General] kevin2516:
Its a known issue with chinese froyo which wild puzzle is based on. No accurate gps location.
[Wildfire General] 4ndroid:
Thanks for the replay.

Yeah I can see now that the blue is me in the middle of the ocean :)

I read the change log for WildPuzzle and though it says the HTC apps don't have the location reporting, there was a fix for triangulation - I guess it doesn't pertain to this...

[Defy General] yyhoney:
1.2 ghz was possible.

But it needs so high vsel......

1.2 ghz and 60vsel - freezing and reboot
[Defy General] xtian63:
but does the OC actually make a difference with the lagginess blur brings?
[Defy General] trickyhenry:
Yes its makes a massive difference. Really speedy around the whole phone and is very smooth. Web pages and apparently load faster.

[Defy General] Higgsy:
So you are getting a 1000/60 option, hmm i only get a 1000/74

interested to see what impact this has on battery life though.

I'm getting a quadrant of 1230 with 1000/74 just imagine this combined with JIT
[Defy General] charlito:
This is so awsome!

Works great (tried 1ghz and 1.2ghz)

1Ghz seems stable.

1.2Ghz got 600 pts and the phone crashed. I set a temperature security. The phone probably activated it.
[Defy General] Jt612:
what about underclocking to save battery? or does that only work if you undervolt as well?
[Defy General] charlito:
I use both overclock and underclock with setCPU.

My nomal setting is 300Mhz-1Ghz on demand

When I have less than 30% of battery my setting is 300Mhz-600Mhz.

Hello,

I'm new with android an the defy device but would like to oc it to 1ghz because of smoothness. Could sombody please post a short description about how to overckock the defy?

thx in advance
[Defy General] kendael:
Great news !

It works fine. I'm using it with setCPU to keep battery safe ^^.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
use my qr code on 1st page, the updated apk is in the actual thread on google code - they haven't put it in the downloads section yet
[Defy General] charlito:
To use the qr code, you download the app "barcode scanner" on the marker then you scan the qr code with this app.

It ll download a file, you open it and install it (it will ask you if you want to allow installation from external source).

Now you lanch the app, load the module (you need to root the phone using the app z4root), set the frequency and push Apply.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
HAve you tried neoreader? - thats my preferred barcode scanner - prefer it over barcode scanner.
[Defy General] cruuz:
Thanks so far a lot, but i hang after i scanned the barecode, the file can't be downloaded. is there a mirrow for it?
[Defy General] Behemia:
Overclock

Successfully OC'd to 1000 and 1200 mhz, quadrant results are 1240 and 1329, very happy with that ;)

The barcode scanning doesnt work for me either, so i searched and found this: http://milestone-overclock.googleco...a4.apk&token=4257d3af3a47d61fdd014272dd5d6ea8

Hope this helps, so far no hangs etc running 1200 but ill keep it on 1ghz to save battery :)

EDIT: Just did custom freq, 1300mhz with 86; got 1387 quadrant- beating n1 2.2 :D
[Defy General] SteveChou:
Is it the step to overclock？
[Defy General] cruuz:
thanks a lot dudes :) it works 4 me now too. 1254@1ghz
[Defy General] imbeci1e:
It's customizable under Menu->Settings, then you can activate it by sliding the bar far to the right side ;)
[Defy General] toogoody:
Great ! This is my result with 1000/74
[Defy General] helldeejay:
what is that 74? what does it mean vsel?

edit: oh i read it means voltage, what is the actual voltage with 800 mhz then?
[Defy General] charlito:
Yeah (10 characters alallaalla).
[Defy General] cky2:
anyone knows the default vsel for defy? is it 60vsel?:confused:
[Defy General] PlayTimou:
"While the 3430 needed 1.35V to hit 720MHz, the 3630 can reach 1GHz at around 1.26V"

56vsel = 1,3V

So if it's an Omap3630, we can think the good vsel for it at 1ghz is 56.
[Defy General] Publicglutton:
Which is the best overclocking app for the Defy , because setcpu will not let me overclock past 800mhz? or does it need re-installing?
[Defy General] SteveChou:
maybe 66 default
[Defy General] helldeejay:
how did you make those calculations?
[Defy General] cky2:
just tried 1350/80, no JIT

1472
[Defy General] thewaltz:
Let's start saying: Guys, don't try this at home :)

- Overclocked to 1300 (80)

- JIT enabled

Well, the result? take a look...
[Defy General] explosiv:
Played around with my phone a bit

1.362 GHz/80

Jit Enabled

Uncrapified

Full battery

And the quadrantscore... 1590!

I had it running @1,375 and got 1696, but that was so unstable so I don't know if it counts
[Defy General] Jt612:
whats the highest score ever?
[Defy General] devonjaks:
Do the quadrant scores translate into better performance playing mkv's or avi's?
[Defy General] DrogenDiego:
Hey can you give me the insides of your setcpu.txt ?

I just read into it but cant figure out how to change the vsel in the setcpu programm... Or is it even possible?

Do I have to overclock with motorola overclock first and then with the setcpu programm or is only the setcpu programm enough then and i can stop using motorola overclock?

I have mine running at 1000 mhz and 56 vsel right now pretty smoothly!
[Defy General] florentm:
Hello,

Thx to XDA I rooted and overclocked my Defy

I used Milestone Overclock to set it at 1000/56 and the SetCPU to save the battery on top

[Defy General] pedrogamo:
What will be the best vsel for 1Ghz?? 74, 60, 56??

I´m a bit confused about it.
[Defy General] Jt612:
well if the CPU is indeed a under clocked 3630 (or whatever its called) stock for that chip is 1000mhz/56 vsel so i imagine that would be your best bet...
[Defy General] dornellasrj:
I'm using the config 1000/56 and the performance is same the Droid X, 1138.
[Defy General] pedrogamo:
Does vsel affect the battery performance?

I´m using 1000mhz/60 with awesome results.
[Defy General] cruuz:
how is it possible to modify the vsel? You need a shell and modify a file? is there a good remote shell wich works over usb?
[Defy General] cruuz:
ohh sorry I found it :)
[Defy General] florentm:
Lowest Vsel ==> lower consumption and thus better battery life and less heat

Did someone tried low vsel at 1200Mhz ? what's your best ?
[Defy General] Higgsy:
I've been running 1ghz at 50 vsel - completely stable - benchmarking at around 1220 on quadrant/7 mflops on linpack. For me its about getting more battery life for a much or more perfromance as stock
[Defy General] f4lkon:
1 GHz @ 50 Vsel was not stable for me. My Settings are 1GHz @ 56 Vsel with 1200 Score in Quadrant. If someone want to know whats the real Voltage = 0,6 Volt + (vsel * 0,0125 Volt).
[Defy General] Homy:

We'll see how it affects battery life.
[Defy General] PlayTimou:
For me also, 1ghz, 50vsel is perfect.
[Defy General] Higgsy:
We could do with a version of Milestone Overclock specifically for the defy, with predetermined optimum frequencies/vsel's.
[Defy General] wyxpark:
I got only 1063 on 1000/56. I don't quite understand this, because i guess our little beast is supposed to get the same or very similar performance. How come my defy is under the average?

OCing the defy

Hi all this is my first post on XDa (great site)

I have the defy coming this Tuesday.

I already have a htc desire which running a custom rom and oc to 1.152ghz

and i get a quadrant score of 1451.

when the defy gets and update does anyone think the score will improve much.

I am thinking it should do.
[Defy General] sarge78:
The Desire is on 2.2 which gives a nice speed boost, don't expect any noticeable performance gains (esp with all that motobloat running)

Lots of other apps running in the background? You should get 1200+ if you stop everything else running.
[Defy General] wyxpark:
Ya...you are right...i didn't stop anything before running the test, let alone the moto blur. I'll try it again. Thanks for answering:)
[Defy General] Damool:
Hello guys, just using the app to lower battery usage since i don't feel the need to OC, perfectly stable 800MHz / 38vsel. Thanks!

My question is: If i don't use setCPU at all, will the CPU still scale from 300 to 800 on demand, or is it running at 800mhz all the time?
[Defy General] nidlaX:
I had to up my Vsel back up to 54 due to some instability I saw outside of Quadrant.
