[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BodaciousDrake:
lol oops! Did that happen with a master clear, or when you flashed the rom? I have forgotten to take out the sim/ext sd once or twice but I have never had a problem...yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
Yes, you need it. Download it from the market, while on 2.1, and save your id onto your sd card. After you are on 2.2, choose Load id and it will automatically reboot.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
What exactly is the point in saving the phone id? Sorry I'm kinda a noobie at this and looking up things about phone id, it seems like it just is an identifier for the phone but doesn't really provide anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
Also, how do I get out of download mode? I've put it in download mode to make sure it works and it seem I can't get out of it... I've done the 2 volume bottons with the usb cord.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
there's another thread in this forum that answers that question perfectly. also to exit download mode you need to pull the battery out.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
Really? just take the battery out?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
Basically, a lot of 2.2 Roms come with the same android id, 977blah... If you don't want market issues later I would suggest that you put in your original 2.1 android id. You can always search more if that answer isn't sufficient. And yes, do a battery pull to get out of download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
I've master cleared but can't seem to root. Every time I try with the one click root, and I go to recovery, it said it can't find the update.zip from the /sdcard/
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
yep, just pull the battery. also you don't need to root to flash roms. just grab the update.zip containing clockwordmod recovery from the thread in the development forum, put it on your sd card, boot to recovery and select reinstall pacakges. after that, reboot the phone (you might have to reinstall packages again) then you'll be ib clockwordmod recovery and you'll be able to flash any rom you want without having to change the filename.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rurouni572:
For some reason I got this too the first few times I tried to root. I then noticed that in the cmd prompt, for a split second it said failed to push update.zip or something due to privileges.

How I fixed it was ran the one-click root on windows in admin mode. It worked after that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] agegsg:
Thanks guys for all your help. I got it to flash the ROM and it seems I haven't bricked my phone :D

Thanks again

[Vibrant Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
good to here, but should this be in captivate general section?
[Vibrant Android Development] kylecore:
no sir bell/virgin mobile canada carry the Vibrant not the captivate

(i work for virgin)
[Vibrant Android Development] tq745:
awesome +1
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
I'm assuming you meant 12/10/2010. And also that you meant to put this in General ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] kylecore:
No sir, the update was officially released on the 10th, that page and how to was published late yesterday and I just got around to posting it.

I'll be installing later tonight after work (:
[Vibrant Android Development] ivanmmj:
The Bell Vibrant is a GT-I9000m not a SGS-T959 and thus not compatible with our Vibrant.

Flashing this will be the same as flashing any GT-I9000 ROM. Your key mapping will be wrong and your GPS will not work.
[Vibrant Android Development] mjb337:
Would this update/firmware work on US Vibrant? I'm asking because I'm curious you know they always said curiosity killed the big cat
[Vibrant Android Development] MWBehr:
I think you missunderstood my point. You're post says October 10th, 2010 (10/10/2010) ;)
[Vibrant Android Development] Devin5277:
Hey Ivan, are you Dev'ing anymore? I used your work when I had a Wing.
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
The Canadian Vibrant is basically a US Captivate. Samsung switched the names around for different countries just to f*ck with everyone.
[Vibrant Android Development] tq745:
this is the right place for it...its android development.
[Vibrant Android Development] law2004:
doesnt work.. my kies says phone doesnt have a firmware upgrade.
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
so can this be used in america on our vibrants?
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
No, it will screw up the button mappings and break GPS. IF it works.
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Odin to stock 2.1 Bell Vibrant firmware first, then try kies.
[Vibrant Android Development] law2004:
how do i do that? :)
[Vibrant Android Development] masterotaku:
Once again I call for XDA to make a forum hierarchy for the Bell Vibrant. Sigh...
[Vibrant Android Development] justlovejoy:
doesn't seem to be worth the shot then. I like my buttons and home gets abused on my phone with constant quick app switching.
[Vibrant Android Development] Telanis:
Search ;)

Seconded.

[Q] Galaxy S I9000 to Nexus S [FULL UPGRADE]

Hiya'll

I'm considering an upgrade from my current Galaxy S "international" to the new Nexus S. Some of you may not consider it an upgrade hence I'd like to take it further here. I'd love to receive all the new updates as fast as possible unlike now when I had to wait three months for Froyo on the SGS to arrive through Kies after its official release by Google. Also reading through the forum, I doubt Samsung will release any updates beyond 2.3 for SGS.

Do you value the new Samsung handset and consider it as potential upgrade? Or would you rather stick to your SGS as you're completely pleased with it?

I'd like to know if there's anyone else out there waiting for the Nexus S as I'm :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] NeoXTC:
the SGS is probably a better phone. with Micro SD and FM radio is more important than flash camera and NFC I think.

As for the updates yeah I agree it would be nice but yeah it's a tough decision. I'll probably stay with the SGS unless I can get the nexus S cheaply :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rachitboom2:
Guys this is what samsung want, they wont/delay upgrade to 2.3 for SGS cuzz they want to sell their new flagship phone, this is what samsung always do, and this is not just me, i've read the same thing in some other blogs and websites also.

Think about it !
[Galaxy S I9000 General] krazykat:
The Galaxy S is indeed a better phone.

Google focused more on software than hardware, so they didn't want anything to hinder it's performance. Thus, hardware-wise, Galaxy S is the better phone, and once it runs Gingerbread - it will be even better than the Nexus S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] jutezak:
There will be other phones coming out with 2.3. And if Samsung still wants to sell the SGS by then, they will have to deliver it with 2.3.

Not all competition is internal. And while for some products or manufacturers it makes sense to handicap the entry level models (for example when it is cheaper to produce the same hardware, and a cheaper model is sold with reduced functionality but still at a profit) this doesn't apply to SGS, as it is the top of the line.

I think the Nexus S is more of a sidegrade, and it seems the NFC makes it rather thick. It seems more like a technology demo than a mass market product to me.

But then, GT-i9100 or GT-i9200 would also be coming. Those could be essentially identical to the SGS with the differentiator being the software. So I feel those do pose a real risk in this regard,

Best point of SGS: it will boot everything you throw at it. It is not locked down, so it is open for any formware that is released independent of kernel changes even. But a bad point is that there does not seem to be a real public, team work developer community; the serial interface to the SBL looks really interesting and might even allow booting from the external SD card! I didn't find a forum that stimulates me to do that kind of experiments yet, especially as signal to noise is so low. Whenever an interesting development happens, the threads are filled with posts like 'will this be ported to Captivate' (by whom?), repeat questions, and other displays of entitlement.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] M3tic:
jutezak, appreciate your opinion and the SGS indeed is a great handset. However, if we'll depend on the developer community aside from the manufacturer then that would probably slow the process of receiving updates. Most developers even at XDA will run a certain project and end it as soon as it

feels

complete although bugs are constantly reported. Some even leave without further notice.

I appreciate all the hard work done by all developers yet the manufacturer here i.e. Samsung plays a far more significant role unless they also seem to neglect the SGS to pose their focus on another peice of tech.

In terms of hardware the Nexus S may not seem as a potential rival yet meriting it's Google heritage as the next Nexus One in line raises no compatibility issues with any Android App released to date as seen accross the platform with many other Android devices.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
I'd really like to get a Nexus S

but without the extra SD card slot... it is a big no no....
[Galaxy S I9000 General] gothfebrio:
nexus s is not samsung's flagship, sgs is still their flagship phone. nexus s is google's phone made by samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
Samsung Mobile already tweated SGS will get 2.3 for sure

there is a topic about that
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
in all honesty i cant see what gains there in the Nexus S to a Galaxy S owner... as stated lack of memory card expansion slot - poor effort IMO!

the only plus i see is that it runs google supplied O/S and not samsung played with version! im running JPU on my galagy with ADW.Launcher and im more than happy, stock rom, rooted but no lagfix and its far superior to all other releases. If Gingerbread is released to Galaxy S users then id happily stick with SGS over NS.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
exactly and we are getting more and more custom ROMS builds per day, many of which are pretty stock android

soon enough we'll have a completely deoxed version without any junk add-on
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Auzy:
It all comes down to money. Most of us can't afford to upgrade every 6 months. Any upgrade is worthwhile if money isn't a factor.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
it doesnt help that the service providers now only offer 18/24 month contracts (i dont think anyone does 12month now!)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] KMino:
Loads of 12 months contacts in Oz.

It's Googles phone, not Samsungs although they make it. Doubt Samsung is going to drop the Gallaxy and start promoting a rivals phone.

Serious note. SGS should now get updates just after Google phone users, now they use the same hardware. If not Samsung didn't negotiate a good deal when agreeing to supply them with hardware.

Samsung seems the place to be now, move over HTC. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dan@msx:
very few if any offer 12 month in the UK now :(

the handset is still technically Samsungs, but built specific to the needs of Google... its pretty much the SGS with a few tweaks and additions, running stock android 2.3

we (the samsung SGS owners) would hope they have a decent agreement regarding the O/S updates, but as others have said "why would they release a new flagship to outshine the SGS then make it better?"
[Galaxy S I9000 General] ickyboo:
Have you guys ever considered the Nexus S to be a GOOGLE ONLY device like all the other NEXUS/G1 dev phones? In other words its not Samsungs top of the range device. I say the GT-9200 or Samsung Galaxy 2 would be Samsungs flagship. Maybe it will be a Nexus S with FM and external memcard and LED Flash. The reasoning behind my thoery is if you looked at HTC, Yes they did release the Nexus One but handed over the marketing and support of the device to Google while they released and marketed the HTC Desire (their flagship device at the time). Either way the Nexus One isn't ment for the general public even though you can buy it and the next Galaxy whatever its going to be called will be Samsungs baby. So basicly what I'm saying is the Nexus One is a moot point for everyone saying they want to upgrade to it and just wait for the next Galaxy S (GT-9200) which I'm feeling will land or be announced in Feb as thats when Samsungs new Amoled factory will go online. Also word is that they will stop making Galaxy S after Dec anyways to supply screen for the Nexus One which will be a stop gap til launch of Galaxy S 2 (or whatever the new flagship device is) Samsung has a history of killing devices to supply screens to their flagship phone. Ie they killed off the Samsung Wave and replaced it with the Wave II which only had SLCD and lower spec hummingbird because they needed the parts for the Galaxy S.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] dreamtheater39:
How many of you think its worthwhile to shift to a Nexus S? If not why?!

My next device must have a dual core processor with a higher resolution to convince me to make the jump! Or atleast more RAM....if the Nexus S had 1GB of RAM, i'd surely be tempted to switch!

What's your stance? :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Deleted member 1952397:
I'm not going to upgrade to Nexus S because I don't see it as an upgrade nor as a downgrade.

We'll probably get a port from honeycomb, so I will use my SGS for a while.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Toss3:
Other than the pure android experience I don't see much reason to upgrade. If it had a standard submatrix samoled I'd upgrade in a heartbeat.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] SkinBobUk:
I'm not as i don't see it as a step forward.

Yes some things may be new and better, but overall I see the nexus as a step sidways from the galaxy s.

Personally I don't see the attraction with the curved display, now do i like the idea of NFC, I dont wanna be walking along and have things flashing up on my phone.

I dont know why they bothered inventing nfc when there is bluetooth, wifi, 3g and qr codes available.

I also see the lack of external SD card as a downgrade.
[Hero CDMA General] nmoreman:
Does anyone know if the new Swype Beta keyboard works on the Hero?

I loaded the old version, and it required a higher resolution at that time, but before I mess up my perfectly working daughter's phone (who is leary of my experimentation), I wanted to know.

Thanks.
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
yes it does :) I just recently did the December update and it's working fine. Just make sure you use the swype installer so you can sign in and use the keyboard fully.
[Hero CDMA General] kostov22:
i personally prefer Shapewriter...
[Hero CDMA General] miadolfan13:
Yes, it works great on my Hero. I've been using it for the past 6 or 7 months without any issues. Takes a little while to get used to, especially if you're moving over from a physical keyboard. The last update (December) made some nice changes. I would likely throw my phone in the trash if I had to use the stock keyboard! Go get it, its easy. Like the other poster said, be sure to get the legal copy. Good luck!

Yea the new swype works well but when you install make sure you have data on and let the user license agreement go through or else you will get an error saying this version was formatted for another device.
[Hero CDMA General] DaWeav:
I upgraded recently from the previous version of Swype on my Hero, and it started giving me the features won't work error which caused it not to swype at all. But reading the Swype forums, they advised to uninstall both Swype and the Swype installer apps and then reboot and reload Swype installer and install Swype again. After I did that, Swype is now working properly.
[Hero CDMA General] epitaphromance:
anyone have the apk?
[Hero CDMA General] kyouko:
Read This: Namely rules #6 and #9

That being said, requesting warez is against the rules. Check out This Thread on a similar topic, mainly the last post my the mod if you think otherwise. ;)

So... if you want Swype you're going to need to sign up for the beta via their website beta.swype.com

Just saving you the trouble of being hassled by PMs from moderators :)

[Hero CDMA General] theimpaler747:

[Hero CDMA General] dean.d:
Just search for it on google. There's a hacked version that works perfect. I've been using it for about a month.
[Hero CDMA General] silberj:
I have tried all of them, and even purchased one. I got into the beta program a couple of weeks ago before it opened, and like it the best so far. Very good.
[Hero CDMA General] drthunder:
I'm not trying to dig this thread up, but I just signed up for beta and got it working on aosp 2.2. I couldn't be happier. Hopefully I'll be able to keep or buy it after the beta period is up.
[Hero CDMA General] jckeyser:
When the beta first hit, it worked perfectly, now every single time I download it I get a blue box around the keyboard when I tap anything. It's useless now, which is a shame, because I loved it. Anybody know a fix that isn't part of the troubleshooting list on the actual site?
[Hero CDMA General] user7618:
Have you tried reinstalling the swype installer? I had to download it again from them and do it all over. Also, try this: tap any text box to bring up your swype board, long press to change to android keyboard, let it pop up, then long press to change back to swype. 99% of the time that fixes the blue box for me.

I am currently running MDJ FroYo HD rom on my HD2.

This rom get's updated quite a lot.

-I would like to know if I can just save the data.img from my old rom, update the rom, and just use the old data.img?

I know there are already treads about this, I searched. Some people say no, some say yes.

-I would also like to know what would happen if it doesn't go right?

-And third, is there a way to increase the 1gb data.img to way more, like 8?

Thanks everybody who will help!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Delano.888:
Nobody knows?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
hey

you can use the same data img if its just an update to the same build e.g. 4.3 > 4.4, ive also used the same data img in a completely diff' build but did get a few fc's in certain apps (tho clearing cache will help with that)

as for an 8gb data img:eek: cant see the point as it will prob slow down boot time & you've got the sd card to store music, vids, maps...

but if you want to try & increase the size manually, look here:

or here for some ready made (up to 4gb):

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Delano.888:
Hey.

Okay great that I can just keep the data.img so I don't have to re download all the apps.

I need more space for my apps, I download A LOT of apps and have the feeling the 1gb will will up soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] kam333:
if your main concern is download apps again, you should use titanium backup, (apps+data setting) since there is always a risk of corrupting your data.img when using it in a new build.

like i said you can use your old .img, but personally use titanium with a fresh .img (should have made that clear) when changing builds. :)

all the best
