I'm trying to get my dads phone going. Droid X, the people that first set it up didn't use his real Google email address. So I tried formatting it and starting over. Did that and it shows no option to sync with a calendar. Just contacts, and I don't think all of them came through. Around 900. I'm trying to use the free sync program from Google for Outlook. He also has Plaxo and I tried there sync feature as well.

At first I don't think his outlook was uploaded to Google calendar. So when sync ran it took them from outlook and uploaded the calendar to Google.

Still not able to get the option on the main phone account for calendar. Any ideas ? Do I have to reset device again?

The phone will sync with whatever is in his Google calendar account. Find the best way to keep his online Google calendar synced with whatever he is using on his pc and the phone will sync automatically.
[Droid X General] jetdavdub:
Fixed it. Had to reset the phone after I uploaded the calendar from outlook to google. Doesn't make since that the option to sync wouldn't be there regardless of having a calendar uploaded at time of initial setup. HTC incredible that I have did... why ?

[Epic 4G General] LifeORiely:
Hey there all. I usually post around in SDX most of the time, but I figured I would start coming over here to ask you all questions. I find that the commmunity over there is starting to get increasingly weak. So today, I'll keep it fairly simple with three questions that I keep getting mixed responses on and would once and for all like those who are more educated than myself be able to resolve this for the sake of mankind (or something like that) :P

Number 1: Will the Epic get OTA updates if the phone is ONLY rooted? As in, no special ROMS, Kernal, etc. JUST rooted. I hear yes, I hear no, I hear "mine did" I hear "That will brick your phone." I've searched all the forums and can't find a definitive answer. I ask, because it is in regards to my next question, which can be solved if I am able to OTA update to Froyo when it reaches me, and NOT lose root. If I will, do I have to un-root, then update, then re-root, or is there a better solution?

The other question is the problems that a lot of people have been having with PRL and Profile updates. I get the typical "You're ___ cannot be updated at this time. If this persists contact your network for help" or whatever it says. Now, I haven't removed any of the necessary APKs, but I also don't have them (Sprint updater, and something else, it escapes me right now....) that I have read about that are needed to get the updates. I've tried it with WiFi, 4G, everything short of a wipe on my phone. Any information? Does anyone have these APK's backed up? I find that my phone just doesn't have them and I find no records of deleting them.

Then the only other, extremely minor thing is that I find that the Facebook SNS just plain doesn't work. From day one, pre-root, I was never able to have an integrated Facebook account, regardless of what I tried. I read a few things about how to fix it, but alas, have gotten nowhere. The only thing I did that I know is probably going to be an issue is I deleted the SNS for Facebook, but then reinstalled it. Basically, it would just be really nice if anyone can point me in the direction of being able to integrate facebook into my contacts, pictures, feeds, etc.

If any of this seems redundant, I apologize. I've literally scoured the interwebs for answers to these questions, but I always opposite answers. I don't see how this is viable considering we all have the same phone and if the information is correct, it shouldn't be this complicated.

I don't know who I have to (sexual expletive) to be able to resolve any of this, but the least I can say is that you XDA kids sure know what you're doing over the folks at SDX. Pure chaos. Thanks again for anyone and everyone who helps, and if it goes well, I'll throw up a donation. Thanks guys/gals.

You can be rooted,but you will lose root if you update through OTA,,,as for the prl updates,I can update with no problem on super heroes superman 2.2.1 at the moment until I make my own ROM,,,,on a side note,whats up fellow SDX member.
[Epic 4G General] kenvan19:
I can only answer the first question and the answer is a resounding yes. Sort of. ;)

If you removed stock apps then OTA updates will screw your phone up. Hard. If you just rooted for say, wireless tether or better CPU management then you will be 100% fine. Just know that when you get updated you will lose root and need to wait for someone to release a new oneclickroot to do it again the easy and safe way.

Hope someone can help me with this,briefly....rooted my phone,installed Bulfed,downloaded some Christmas Wallpaper the app is stuck,will not Force close,every time the wallpaper comes up i get the same message.called Sprint for help they flashed the phone and CrunchyButternut is still here.The phone has become useless.
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] oohaylima:
They ''flashed'' it. Does that mean you downloaded a RUU and did a fresh install?

Did you make a backup of the factory ROM before you flashed the other ROM?

SILVER SPEAKER MOD

WARNING: VERY DANGEROUS​

The story of the silver speaker mod: I was getting ready to go out one cold winter day in December, it was 6:30 in the evening. It was just starting to get dark. It was very quiet, aside from the furious wind whipping against the side of my house. Considering surfing with Mr. T was definitely out with these wind conditions, I sat down to reflash my phone to a new kernel. Holding a knife in one hand, as I am known to be quite the multi-tasker (Yeah, i can flash and eat, what now?) and my Captivate in the other, I accidentally knifed my phone. At first, I started to panic and soon began developing a sweat. Looking down; on the verge of a mental breakdown, I was expecting to see a possibly maimed Samsung Captivate, and little to my surprise, I immediately noticed a battle-wound. Hyperventilating, I quickly pondered on how I could handle this situation without diminishing the aesthetic appeal of the phone, and then the silver speaker mod was born.

Requirements:

1. A fingernail

HOW-TO:

Step 1: Scratch at it until it's silver. [Might take awhile, I had to scratch at it pretty vigorously.]

I don't know how nerdy the rest of the XDA community is, but I almost came to my knees in fear when I was performing this operation. I would recommend wearing goggles, gloves,(except for one finger, we need at LEAST one finger nail..) and possibly a bio suit. However, should you find the courage to stand strong and repetitively move your finger up and down, you will be rewarded..with....

Reminder: No steak is worth your phone being hurt over, no eating and flashing.​
[Captivate Themes and Apps] bts0uth:
You must have a badass fingernail because mine isn't turning it silver. Been scratching for 5 minutes and no black has came off

-Sent from my Captivate running Assonance v4.3 with Xcaliburhand's reoriented kernel
[Captivate Themes and Apps] geokhentix:
I stabbed it first though, with a bloody steak knife. Some of the black was already removed, I worked on it from there. I had to press kind of hard, honestly I think it took more effort to scratch the paint, than it did to cut the steak. I didn't finish the steak either, to be honest after all of this trauma, I just wasn't hungry.

silver speakermod

Some may laugh but hey this is a great thread. Many of us drop phones and have a funky looking speaker. Its black and silver, and it looks very bad. Well this is a way to remove the black and make it uniform. My wifes phone went from looking beat up to new again!. The EASIEST way is to use a NEW unused stanley box knife blade. It took me like 4 minutes. Plus i was able to easily get to all the small spots with it. This breaks the fear that people have with a banged up captivate. Plus it looks better than mine!!

I would love to do this but my only concern would be the possibility of rusting since it seems that this exposes the raw metal.

I would like to know if any of you who have had the paint removed for a while see any signs of rust

I have searched this thread for rust rusting and rusts and couldnt find anything so sorry if it has been answered.

OK cool didnt see that it is aluminum so thats cool that it wont rust then:)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] krackers:
Ok...

HELP!!!!!!!

Please,

Ok, I tried this mod and it worked successfully, and I got the chrom-y shin-y silver-y

speaker on the front. But then I decided to keep rubbing and it turned into this milk-ish, white, liquid color!!!

I took a Bounty paper towel (it absorbs more than the leading brand!) and wiped it, but it absorbed my phone too! So then I squeeze the paper towel and out comes my phone.... as a hot, sticky, melted pile of liquid. Not to worry, I though, I spread the liquid across one of those ice cube trays, and put it in the freezer. After a few hours, I took the tray out, and assembled the phone piece by piece (while sitting inside the freezer of course, can't let it melt again!). When I put it all back together and turned it on...

There was a picture of Chuck Norris saying "This phone is way too cool for you to handle". So I used odin to flash iOS 5.0 but there was some incompatibility error (something about not conforming to the FCC Apple Anti-Reality Distortion Field).

I then tried flashing the microsoft NoDo update... which worked... and made my phone NoDo anything. A third attempt with heimdall on mac to flash stock ZZ∞ succeeded! My quadrant scores were ∞, My gps was able to lock in 1/∞ seconds with ∞ accuracy, and somehow, the specs were as follows:

∞ cores, ∞ petahertz, ∞ petabytes of ram, and ∞ petaflops of computing power. Oh!

I forgot to say ∞ petabytes of storage...

You would think that is all... but it is not!

Somehow, the phone became so fast that it broke through the sound, light, gravity, and time barrier! Suddenly, Chuck Norris and Darth Vader came up and both said "You cannot use the force!".

My phone became stuck in an infinite time loop...

Anyone know if you can CWM out of this?

I knew I should have made a nandroid backup.. gr..

[Captivate Themes and Apps] tazman171:
You should have gone with the Amiga 5000 DoDo revamp with the JW-TP-0U812 paper rub (rough, tough and doesn't take s**t from any one) instead of the MS NoDo update, common rookie mistake. We've all been there. :rolleyes:

By doing that you could have avoided the cryogenic-modular re-assembly steps and would've ended up with the Clint Eastwood "You feeling lucky punk!?" boot instead. :D

No need to go into the infinitesimal upgrades your CPU, Ram and Oh looky factors would see. ;)
