[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adrenalinechild:
looks like i found a solution today. last night i underclocked my cpu to 700mhz and i have not seen any performance difference and the battery is lasting allot longer. i have been using it moderately and the battery has gone down 8% in 3 hours of use which is already allot better than before.

i checked my battery power and after it was fully charged it showed 4.2mah so i knew that wasnt the problem. does anybody have the problem that their contacts(in android) are removed if they soft reset their phone? and if so does saving contacts to sim work to fix it? thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Macelangelo77:
No, that doesn't sound familiar. Are you syncing your contacts with your Google account?

Sincerely,

Mac
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adrenalinechild:
no i just manually put in a few to my phone. does saving contacts to sim work in android on the hd2?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] roloracer:
yes it does, but why don't you have all your contacts sync with google?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
backup everything before you do this though. it's known to cause crash at startup and you won't be able to use your android again.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] adrenalinechild:
im having a problem with my hd2. i made a call today. and all the incoming voice sounded like a decepticon. kinda cool but definately not useful to actually talking to a person. what should i do to fix this? is it the rom i am using?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] dan138zig:
it's a known issue. read the faq.
[Captivate General] scales11:
hi all. I am not a newb when it comes to computers, I have hacked a few devices here and there, usually with the help of instructions online. I recently noticed that my captivate was having some trouble with the wifi, clock, and overall being slow. I decided it was time to root it and install the cyanogen rom. I did so by following these steps which I found at their wiki:

Everything was going smoothly, no hiccups. Phone rebooted into the proper rom and seemed ok. The wifi was still giving me trouble though, gave me error messages about not being able to scan for networks, and ultimately I figured I would turn it off for a sec. So I turned the phone off, took out the battery and sim, and left it for a min. I then put it all back together and tried to power up...nothing happens. The screen stays black, I get no feedback whatsoever. I have tried to get it into "download mode" by holding the volume down and pressing the power button, but no luck. I am trying to follow this guide here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=775911

to troubleshoot it but am really scared at this point. Any advice?
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
Try

Remove sim, bat, EXTERNAL sd. put bat back in. volume up and down while plugging in usb.

If not look into a jig
[Captivate General] scales11:
amazing

Well after searching and testing for an hour I did what I never do, left it alone and slept on it (perhaps hoping for a miracle). When I woke up this morning I rushed over to see if the situation had changes, which it hadn't. Then I decided to try holding the keys down while plugged into the wall, not the computer.

After taking out sim and battery (I wasnt using an sd card) plugging it into the wall, holding buttons and inserting the battery, it booted up into clockworks menu!

I chose the reboot option and everything seems to be working. Unfortunately I am still having the same wifi problems that I did before the rom flash. With the wifi off the phone runs great. With the wifi turned on though, it becomes laggy, and seems to just hang while trying to scan for networks. It never actually completes a scan and I often get the "force quit or wait dialog". I will open a new thread for this issue though.

Thanks all!

Hi, I just had my repaired here in the US, the screen was no longer functioning. I mailed it out on Thursday, they received it on Saturday, fixed it on Monday, shipped it on Tuesday, got it on Friday. Absolutely quick. I returned everything back to factory settings, stock radio and rom. I went into a store and looked at the original radio & hspl as i glanced at the phone to make sure. Then I went on the forum and looked for the original stock/radio and switched it back, otherwise they will NOT fix it. Good luck.

Is there a way to allow unknown sources be installed?
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Please search on these forums before opening up new threads. Answer to this question has been posted multiple times. Search for "side loading" apps, that's the tech term used.

On stock ROMs, u would need to enable side loading.

On some custom ROMs, there is an option to allow for unknown sources. On those that don't have the option, u would need to enable side loading of apps.

Steps to side load (copied from existing thread/post):

What you’ll need:

* Android SDK

* BusyBox

o If you don’t have BusyBox, go search “BusyBox” on the Android Market

o Once installed, open up the BusyBox app and follow the full installation directions to enable it

* Samsung Captivate with root

* SQL Database Manager

o We suggest trying the SQLite plugin for Firefox, you can find it here.

Process:

1. Turn on USB debugging: Settings >> Applications >> Development

2. Plug in your Samsung Captivate

3. Open up Command Prompt on your computer (Windows: start, search, type “cmd”, right click cmd, Run as Administrator)

4. Type in: cd _____PATH TO ANDROID SDK FOLDER______\tools

Example:

cd C:\Users\USERNAME\Desktop\android-sdk-windows\tools

Press ENTER

5. Type in: adb shell

Press ENTER

6. Type in: su

Press ENTER

7. Type in: cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db

Press ENTER

8. Type in: cp /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db /sdcard/settings.db.backup

Press ENTER

9. Type in: exit

Press ENTER

10. Type in: exit

Press ENTER

11. Type in: adb pull /sdcard/settings.db %userprofile%\desktop

Press ENTER

Leave Command Prompt open

12. Open SQLite Manager in Firefox by pressing Tools >> SQLite Manager

13. Click “Database”

14. Then click “Connect Database”

15. Navigate to “settings.db” on your Desktop

16. Expand the tables

17. Click “Secure” on the panel

18. Scroll down to ID 6, “install_non_market_apps”

19. Double click it and change “value” from 0 to 1.

20. Close SQLite Manager

21. Go back to the command prompt window, type in: adb push %userprofile%\desktop\settings.db /sdcard

Press ENTER

22. Type in: adb shell

Press ENTER

23. Type in: su

Press ENTER

24. Type in: cp /sdcard/settings.db /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings

Press ENTER

25. Type in: chmod 777 /dbdata/databases/com.android.providers.settings/settings.db

Press ENTER

26. Type in: reboot

Press ENTER

27. Disconnect your Captivate from your computer while your phone reboots.

Congratulations! You can now sideload non-market applications on your Samsung Captivate.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Abolfazl:
I just got the G2 as an early christmas present. The first thing I did was root the phone. The only modification I have done (aside from installing CM6.1.1) was installing LED Me Know. What modifications have you done to your G2?

Also, what is the purpose of the rosie remap?
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
Rosie remap makes redundancy... redundant. Ya know the thread for rosie is quite clear...it just allows you to remap the options available. Quite clever.

[G2 and Desire Z General] Abolfazl:
Oh i see, it is for the launcher. So if i used ADW, i wont need this..
[G2 and Desire Z General] jeallen0:
correct, and technically, if you are using CM6.1.1 there is no reason at all to install it as it is specifically for the sense rom launcher.

other than CM6.1.1 ive installed setcpu and overclocked the core to 1516mhz and installed launcher pro plus with transparent widgets as well as a few clock mods and a smoked weather widget. ive also bought quickdesk pro... last SS is with quickdesk up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] jamesfrom818:
Aside from rooting and flashing CM 6.1.1, I changed unlock/lock sounds to on/off sounds of the codec from Metal Gear Solid. Haven't really done much else.
[Android Software Development] jashsoft:
Hi,

I published my app in the Android Market today and it showed up on websites like AppBrain that pull content from the Android Market. However, I cannot find it on the Android Market. Also, how do you add keywords??
[Android Software Development] kekele:
I have seen some developers are adding keywords:.....

at the end of the description, but i also read that some one got removed after doing this. So my suggestion is to add some keywords like this but just a few.
[Android Software Development] Zappescu:
The Android Market seems to be slower than AppBrain, I don't know why but my app had the same bahaviour. You should just wait some minute more and you'll see it on the Market.

For the keywords: you'd better put all the keywords you have in mind to describe your app. It's important to spread your app together with others similar.

Don't add fake keywords and you'll be happy.

HTC Desire's 3G signal is much weaker than 2G.

I am at home, HTC Desire only has 1 to 2 levels of 3G signal, but full signal when turn to 2G. I use same SIM card on my Samsung i8000, 4-5 levels (5 is full) when in 3G.

How to fix the 3G weak signal of HTC Desire?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MasDroid:
Are you rooted? If so, try flashing a different radio version as this can improve 3G speed and signal strength as well as Wi-Fi performance, and battery life.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
have tried different versions of radio, no luck. which version of Radio is the best ?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
2G has a greater range than 3g, I think.

When I'm in the middle of nowhere I always get a 2G signal even if I know there is a 3g tower closer than the 2G one I'm connected to.

I generally get better signal with 2G most of the time.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mercianary:
sorry,

phones perform differently, also some phones give you a misleading scale on the signal level, there is no industry standard as to what signal level 4 bars is afaik. manufacturers have been known to fudge scales of all sorts on their devices to make it appear better than a rival product.

try to get both phones to report signal level in dBm to compare accurately.

I also get relatively poor 3g signal with my desire compared to some other phones i have had...looking at bars, have never compare dBm.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Bars are no way to tell how strong the signal really is, since i flashed the latest radio i have a decent 3g connection without any bars.

If you already tried different radios there is no way to fix it, different devices will preform differently under the same conditions, nothing to do about that.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
which radio you use regarded as decent?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
32.49.00.32U_5.11.05.27, but please understand that that will mean nothing for your situation.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] scott4:
this is what I am using. no good.

By the way, to all.

What I mean 3G signal is for voice. the reception is poor for phone call in 3G, it sucks when doing phone calls, but no problem in 2G. I place my SIM card into Samsung i8000, reception is strong and phone call has no suck at all.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] obscureghost:
I keep getting an error "paired but not connected" anytime I try to hook up my galaxy s/captivate to another blue tooth device (aka another phone - aka trying to send files across)

i've read numerous reports, and the last post I just read mentioned there being a fix for it if you root the phone. Could someone point me in the right direction, give me the right keywords to search, or something.

Anyone know if it's just an app, because i've been using another method to install third party apps, without having to do a root. I was trying to steer away from that, but if I must I will, this bluetooth thing is annoying.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 8526WM6:
If you have paired your car's bluetooth to more than one phone, or more than one time, the car's database will not auto connect. It won't know which pair to auto connect to. I had to delete all prior pairs then pair it one time and then it worked beautifully each time I started my car.

Hope this helps...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CoolhandLocke:
Hey there, the ol' captivate has been driving me crazy lately and figured i would finally post and ask for some help. I've had this one for about 3 months & this is my second Captivate, first one dropped calls but i also dropped it a few times lol. I'll be on the phone and then just randomly boom, i'm talking to dead air. A few times lately i've noticed the screen will be on/flash on, when it drops the call or an app/icon will be highlighted as if it's been selected. Have also felt it vibrate a few times before dropping a call and seeing the screen come on. Then again a few times it has dropped a call then i get no response from any of the buttons or screen and it seems powered off......only to start working about 10 seconds later. It really is a mixed bag as far as the symptoms go...

It is rooted and running a version of Cog but it did this before it was rooted and with rom. I've went a week without it happening then sometimes it will be 2-3 times in a row then nothing for a week. Nothing to do with the weather or a tower being down as AT&T said lol, i just figured it had to be phone related with the screen or something. Any help would be appreciated, i love my phone and this is the only problem i have with it..would be great to get it sorted out :D

Hi All,

When I use WM6.1, this problem can be resolved by using QPST.

1.Dial #3424#

2.Run QSPT

3.Get [System]/[Preferred Mode] and set value [HDR only]

But now I turn it to Android 2.2.1, I do not know how to change this setting.

Dose Android has the same method to connect PC,or changing this setting by program?

EDIT - Updated post with working zip - EDIT

I've ported over the Frost theme, made by sonnysekhon for the HTC Desire. I went with that one since I'm personally not a circle battery fan. I added a couple pieces of work in here and there, but nothing major. I'd also like to take the time to thank fritzgerald for helping me with some smali edits. Thanks!

I've built this theme on top of Assonance 4.3, I'd assume it would work on all versions of Assonance (or any JK3 ROM for that matter) but I can't say for sure.

Here are some screenshots, downloads for the theme, and for the icons and wallpapers supplied by the original author are attached:

Im sorry but im curious what widget are you using in that second screen shot...id like to get that
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Hmm this is my first time making a theme, or a flashable zip for that matter, so I very well may have done something wrong. I'll check it out when I get to a computer.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] King Shady:
yea this didnt do anythingfor me.. hopefully u can figure it out because its an awesome looking theme! thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Give this one a shot. Should be fixed.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] SiL3nTKiLL:
very nice theme :)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Notification drop down needs some work. Toggle becomes unreadable toggled on.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Yeah, been looking for where that would be located, gotta be somewhere in twframework-res.apk. I've noticed a couple other things in the version posted, such as the search icon in settings being the wrong one, and I'm still working on getting the blue text in there to be white or gray.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Themes and Apps] delutedsoul23:
Ok does anyone know what widget that is
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Yeah its in the "twframework-res\res\values\styles.xml". I haven't applied the theme so I'm not sure where\what some of the issues are. The blue text for the settings menus is located in "framework-res\res\color\zzz_tw_secondary_text_sub.xml" on the 2nd to last line.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Sorry, which one? I have SiMi Clock widget, Beautiful Widgets Weather, Minimal Text Widget for the date, OneSeven for the day of the week, BattStatt for the battery percent, and then the phone, sms, and mail icons are SMS Unread Widget.

Thanks for all of the help man, this port would not be possible without your help! I'll get started on this right away! Actually, gonna PM you after I post this about some stuff.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Just a tip.. The hex code for the blue color is the same hex code for the blue text throughout the phone. Its found in different locations but it's always the same hex code.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Hmmm, "twframework-res.apk\res\values" doesn't seem to exist... :/
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
Sorry. You need to decompile the APK first. Use APK Manager or apktool. If you simply try to extract the APK you wont see it. After you make your changes and recompile the APK it's all located in the resources.arsc. Messing with the xmls especially in the values folder you'll want to make sure you back up. I crashed my phone tons of times while learning that portion.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Ah got it. Still seems like the zip won't flash, even the one you posted, and the one's I've made since... Either get error or it doesn't copy the files and sits at "Installing" as the second reply states... :/
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
I downloaded the current zip on the OP. Installed every time for me. Are you installing with CWM Recovery or stock recovery?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Running CWM, maybe it's just my phone :/

Now I'm getting stuck in a bootloop and my Nandroid b/u won't restore. Awesome...

(FYI, this was from working on twframework-res.apk, nothing to do with the theme posted in this thread)
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
I've made some changes to the framework and twframework files to get rid of the white text on the notification drop down as well as the blue text in the settings menu. Anyone willing to test out? I know the settings menu change works but I'm not sure on the drop down. I'm not running this ROM so it crashes my phone if I try to apply it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Hmm, gave me a bootloop but I'm starting to think there might just be something up with my phone not wanting to cooperate with tw-framework-res.apk or something...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] fritzgerald:
That was built off the zip in the OP. I guess I may have to flash the ROM to properly test it first.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] rrrrramos:
Yeah it actually managed to flash correctly whereas before it wasn't doing a thing or was outputting errors. I'm almost certain that it's something in TW that isn't playing nice, I get the Force Close vibration at that boot animation then it restarts. Though this time I was able to get out of it without having to re-flash a new ROM. From that standpoint, this will now be being tested on the newest Assonance, version 5.0.
[Samsung Mesmerize] phidelt82:
I'm not sure how well this will go over since it's not just a download and flash ROM, which is why I haven't released it yet. I've decided to explain the basic premise to see if there is interest.

What this is basically, is a "DIY" DI14 deodexed Mesmerize ROM. Everything is there ready to go with a few minor changes. All of the dependencies are left in so all of the stock apps will work. Many of the apk's have been removed and placed in a separate folder to reduce some of the bloat (not nearly what jt's super clean ROM does, but some of the bloat). What this leaves is just a bare bones ROM that you can add whatever you want back in to it. Once you have everything you want in it, you just zip up the two folders and flash the zip file from ROM Manager.

My reasoning behind doing this is hearing people asking for apps to be placed back into jt's super clean ROM. This way, you get to decide exactly what stock apk's you start with.

This is as basic as it gets. Follow the directions from the readme.txt file and build your own custom ROM. This will work with jt's voodoo kernel, so you can get fancy and add custom boot animation if you want. This should also support themes that some of us are working on porting, also.

If anyone is interested something like this, let me know.
