[Captivate General] vicmaxabc:
Hey guys,

I just got my Captivate yesterday and today I discovered a very weird and annoying problem. Everyday at work I download a podcast from a radio talk-show. It works fine on my iPod and my old SE Xperia X10 but on my new Samsung something is going wrong. For some reason when the hosts are talking the quality of the sound in the right earbud is horrible you can barely understand them, but here comes the funny part, when they play music everything is fine there is non a difference between L and R. If anyone can explain what the heck is going one I would be glad do listen. I've tried a different media players and different headphones but no luck.

Here is the website with the podcasts:

cronica.primatv.ro/podcast/

(add the http part because I cannot post link - I'm a new user)

Probably you wont understand what are they talking about. But if somebody with another Samsung Captivate can do a test I would be glad to hear what the results are.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Can't help with that problem but I can with another.....it's spelled weird. :D
[Captivate General] vicmaxabc:
Oh...c'on man... English is my third language :p
[Captivate General] Uncle Irish:
Check the Effects in the settings for the default music player. Also, there is a 5.1 surround icon in the top left when playing music/audio. Tap that to disable 5.1

this might help
[Captivate General] polarbee:
If the sound is fine on the left earbud with the podcast, my guess would be it has something to do with the one being a mono broadcast and the other being stereo.
[Captivate General] bp787:
does the podcast have multiple audio streams? There are a few that require you to select one or the other, otherwise you get both at the sametime. Depending on how the podcast is recorded, one audio stream may only go to the left or right channel, while the other is stereo.
[Captivate General] vicmaxabc:
Hey guys, thx all for the input. I played around with the setting and still no luck. About the mp3 file, I opened it in a wave editor and is absolutely fine both channels are fine. The file is stereo @ 96kbps. This is very odd!!!
[Captivate General] thabeast:
Have you tried playing it through the phones speaker, How does it sound then? Besides that u may be SOL
[Captivate General] opcow:
Yeah I can verify the problem. Right channel plays fine on my PC but parts of it are choppy on the phone. The music seems fine, just the spoken dialogue is broken.
[Captivate General] thabeast:
Is it Just That pod cast or others as well?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OhDear:
I just flashed "Eugene_2E_JK2_Froyo.tar.md5" via odin to restore my soft bricked phone. Then after reading about, I noticed some talk about froyo bricking people's phones. Am I at risk?

Firmware version: 2.2

Baseband version: T959UVJK2

Kernel version: 2.6.32.9

Build number: FROYO.UVJK2
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Sdobron:
Most bricks are due to lag fixes...usually Voodoo. Eugene's ROMs are solid and won't brick you unless you have underlying issues.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lqaddict:
It was earlier when I9000's Froyo builds started to show up.

The current ROM's are derivatives from the Vibrant specific leaks, and pose no issues if you follow the instructions, etc.

Sorry if this is in the wrong place.

Im stuck a the samsung recovery and worse than that all im getting from it is error messages. Apparently It's missing bitmap intermediate 1-6. all help would be appreciated. Im running nero beta 3 if that helps
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Deleted member 2653512:
brother if i were adb savvy i'd tell you exactly what to type to fix this. but i'm not. :/ it does, however, sound like you'll need to use adb to fix this. might be wrong tho. i'm sure someone will come along who knows for sure.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blahbommer:
ok im like a uber noob what's adb
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kadoh:
i think you have to use odin! in download mode!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] blahbommer:
ok i was trying to avoid that because it wipes data but if it must be done i can loook up a tutorial thanks.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PeartFan40:
In my experience, certain ROMS won't boot into recovery. Not sure why. You can always use ODIN and PIT to recover to stock, then re-root and install a custom ROM again. I was never able to boot into recovery on AOSPISH 1.1 Always had to ODIN and PIT. Good Luck, hope it works out for you.
[Epic 4G Themes] fastmikey1969:
I really liked the brightness tweak with the ultra low brightness setting.

There's a Screen Filter app in the market which seems to do the same thing, I haven't seen any posts about it here so I thought I'd share.

Edit: Added App Brain Link:

[Epic 4G Themes] tonysohn:
Ditto. I really like this app.

Using 40% and already made a shortcut on the main screen.
[Epic 4G Themes] walord:
Nice find! I was getting ready to make this if it wasn't on the market already. I noticed that the alarm clock had a dark filter overlay when you set it to night mode which is darker than the lowest brightness setting.
[Epic 4G Themes] Erica8123:
I have been using it a while and LOVE it! Just make sure you don't turn it all the way dark or your sol
[Epic 4G Themes] RisinT96:
1)If i put it on very low can it damage the screen? (AMOLED, Super AMOLED, LCD-TFT, S-LCD)

2)What is the maximum limit? (The device's maximum / More than the maximum / Less than the maximum)

[Epic 4G Themes] orangekid:
any way to get an APK so we don't have to create an appbrain account?
[Epic 4G Themes] contazrazor:
you can found the app in the android Market by search screen filter ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] XlAfbk:
Great app!

Any chance you could add some kind of (customizable) color adjustment as well? When I reduce brightness my amoled gets very redish and I'd like to reduce that effect
[Epic 4G Themes] fastmikey1969:
I didn't write the program unfortunately!

But feel free to still hit the 'thanks' button if you like the program :)
[Epic 4G Themes] sleepyfu:
Not on LCD panels, this app adds a gray tint to the colors, your back light is still on at whatever level the "brightness" setting is on the phone.

EDIT: I got to the thread from the XDA-portal and just realized this is a AMOLED phone thread, as posted below, on AMOLED screens, darker screen means less power consumption from the display. Not sure what the app itself would use, tho. As in CPU processing.
[Epic 4G Themes] Toast95135:
It should give more battery life with our SAMOLED screens because each pixel glows to give brightness/color, so if it's darker then it should be using less energy. It's not like LCD where you're pumping backlight through the display.
[Epic 4G Themes] thecresta:
Anybody know how to integrate this into Tasker?

Eg: IF brightness=10 THEN Open App Screen Filter ELSE Close App Screen Filter

I'm looking into it, but wondered if anyone has already done it to save me a bit of time ;)
[Epic 4G Themes] Sizzlincok:
This app has been around on the market for a fairly long time actually.

I discovered it when I typed "dimmer" in the market search, and found this.
[Epic 4G Themes] lukian:
It's a known bug where this app randomly stops working.

Been meaning to contact the dev to suggest it might be to do with applications using notification LED.

I see no change in power usage via PowerTutor using this on my HTC Desire (AMOLED).

Does anyone see a change?

Nonetheless, this is a great app for lowering screen brightness below the minimum!
[Epic 4G Themes] hallucinate:
Alternatively, stock kernel users who've clockwork reccovery modded can install this kernel patch: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=10325268

Works great for me! Unfortunately not much of a battery life increase; display is still by far the greatest battery offender.
[Epic 4G Themes] Locobox:
Alternative method to download screenfilter!

Hi everyone, I've seen the app in a friend's phone, it's just what I need.

But I can't download it from the market!

I'm using an Android tablet (Cant access the market with this device!), is there any other way to download or get this app?

I really need it!

Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G Themes] The El:
Hey guys,

I'm using Darkys Rom 9.1, which has installed Screenfilter by default. But since I couldn't get to configure how much it should decrease the brightnessm, I tried to delete and reinstall it.

Well, unistallation wasn't a problem, but I can't get this damn app reinstalled. I start the download in the market and nothing happens (well, it seems like the app will be downloaded, but then nothing happens).

Can anybody help?

//Edit:

I just reflashed Darkys Rom. Since it's just a reflash on the same version I didn't wipe and now everythin works fine.
[Epic 4G Themes] gsmuser:

[Surround General] rob243:
Hi everyone

if I power on my htc surround while holding the camera button, I get a a black screen with a windows mobile device and a cable showing to plug it into the computer. I am just curious does anyone know what this is? Why its there?

Any info appreciated.
[Surround General] rodivian:
Did you plug it into your computer when after doing this? When I did my computer searched Windows Update for software and when it was done installing what it found the Zune software ran and showed me the screen shown in the attached image. This seems to have something to do with restoring our phones to an earlier state. However I have no idea how to make a backup of it.
[Surround General] rob243:
oh interesting so I guess its like a system restore for my cell phone lol

anyway thanks was just wondering why it did it.
[Nexus S General] Joshfu13:
I have my phone on silent mode and heard a slight hissing sound while I was navigating through some menu options. I held the speaker hole next to my ear and noticed that there is a 2-3 second hissing sound made anytime I touch anything that would trigger a click sound if it were not in silent mode. Does anyone else experience this?

I just got shootme today after doing the update and it works just fine so far for me. My EVO is not rooted either.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] supdawg:
If you are reading this forum, you really should root your phone. It's not hard, there's very little real risk, and of course is completely reversable.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bielinsk:
Shootme has never required root on the Evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Raadius:
It actually has. When the Evo first released Shoot Me worked fine, than about a month or so later, Sprint released an update that patch the security hole that allow Shoot Me to work on the Evo. So when I updated my Evo, Shoot Me stop working. Than when they released Froyo, Shoot Me work again.

Thanks for all the replys guy, Im gonna update. Far as rooting my Evo, nah, not just yet, no good reason IMO to root. I can do everything I wanted to do with my Evo already.

[Nexus S General] dskyers:
I want to know am I the only one that does not feel the need to root this phone. I mean I come from a g1 day one buyer mytouch 3g the g2 a nexus one, and I lived for installing roms just like everybody else I was flashing everyday lol. But on this I just don't want to I mean it's sorta perfect. I mean the no notification thing I hate. The samsung on back I hate. And a camara in the front that I can only use to look at my self what the hell is the point. how many pictures of my self can I really take? But the phone, the hardware gingerbread it perfect. What do u guys think?
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
I certainly don't feel compelled to flash any custom roms or kernels on mine; it's damn close to perfect. There's a few CM or DocRambone extras I sort of miss, but it's nice to be off the ROM-A-Day or ROM-A-Week treadmill I'd gotten on with my Nexus One and Galaxy S phones.

Root, though, that's a much different story. There are still things you need Root for that I don't want to give up:

Screen captures.

Titanium Backup.

adb wireless widget

Not to mention just the feeling that it's my phone, and I should have full access to the file system if I want it.

You shouldn't feel pressured to root, though. If the phone does all you want and you're not missing any of the features root gives you, don't bother. No one will look down on you for it...
[Nexus S General] TheBiles:
I can't live without Titanium Backup and other various root-required apps, so I definitely have to root. Plus, it's not like it's a complicated process.
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
I don't feel like rooting mine either, at least for the moment. I feel mine is pretty perfect too. Considering I came from a G1 with Froyo and constantly lagging and taking 30 seconds to load the home screen, I am completely happy with my NS.
[Nexus S General] ap3604:
Rooting is mainly for tweakers who like to customize beyond the norm. I can't think of anything substantial it would provide me personally to do so. A little bit faster? Meh. Better battery life? Meh. HD video? Meh.
[Nexus S General] jacksonj51:
Yes its a great phone, but to purchase this phone and not tweak on it, that I will never understand...

Couldn't imagine running a non-rooted stock N1.... oh how far we've come!
[Nexus S General] tekkitan:
I'm sure most will end up rooting it, but as it is right now some people don't feel the need since it's still quite early in life.
[Nexus S General] chrlswltrs:
Honestly the only reason I rooted was to get rid of ads. Some of the other root only apps like Titanium (get rid of google earth, email (I only use gmail), etc) was nice but not needed.

I haven't decided yet if I am going to do ROMs although I probably will eventually do CM.
[Nexus S General] vroomr4:
I totally felt the same way, until I found out my received MMS pics were compressed and thumbnail quality/resolution. I had to root and replace the Mms.apk, now it works fine.
[Nexus S General] distortedloop:
Ahh, that's interesting. I don't use MMS, but I've read numerous threads where people complain of the compression. I suggested they try Handcent or other 3rd party app to see if problem addressed, but most seemed to think it was a T-Mobile server setting.

What apk did you use to replace it with?
[Nexus S General] sstang2006:
Could you point me to where I can get that Mms.apk? I'm having the same problem. Thanks
[Nexus S General] knytphal:
I hadn't planned on rooting as quickly as I ended up doing....but waking up one morning to see that my stock device was bootlooping for fun caused me to rethink that one.

I still don't plan on flashing another rom, at least not yet. This is the first device that I've been happy with from the get go, and I'd like to keep that feeling for as long as I possibly can.
[Nexus S General] onthecouchagain:
As fun and beneficial as rooting is, it'd be nice to get a "Google phone" with clean Android iterations already packed with all the features that rooting brings.

If developers can create better custom ROMs, why can't Google make these implementations themselves? It's a little baffling to me.
[Nexus S General] Darrien13:
I think everything is ok on this device but I will still root because I love the freedom!
[Nexus S General] thepoetvd776:
I also haven't thought about rooting, I used to flash new roms like 5 times a day on my faithful g1.

The only thing that bothers me is the compressed photos I get in the messaging app. Hopefully they will fix that soon.

Is there anyway to get the Magnified text correction thingy on x10? My sisters x10 mini pro has it and I would love to have it on the x10. If you don't know what I mean, it's the function (also available on iphone) where you can quickly jump to any part in a word accurately by dragging a little magnifier thing which shows you the letters slightly magnified so you have better control.
