Usb debug is only for adb to work. You can still mount/detect the phone without it. Windows should detect it as a usb mass storage .
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slifer315:
but you can't sync with outlook with usb debugging on, which was the original problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatFan:
Thanks for the response. I've had debugging turned on and off. Neither seemed to make much difference. I did find one interesting thing the other day though. I uninstalled all Samsung software and drivers. Before I tried any kind of reload I used a registry cleaner to clear out any remnants. It seemed to act a lot differently when I reloaded things and I actually managed to sync my calendar and Contact List although not with Kies or any Samsung software. I used a program called MyPhoneExplorer. It takes a while to figure out but seems to work well if you have a decent phone-computer connection. It only worked once though and the next time I plugged back in there is no connection. There was a time when I was hopeful that Froyo would fix this but now I'm doubtful that the Captivate will ever get Froyo, at least from Samsung or AT&T.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jpinks:
I totally do not understand this phone when connecting to my PC. I am sooo sick of this thing not being recognized and trying to connect with Kies!!! I would run better odds playing Russian Roulette at being the big winner!! What other options do we have to get our phone to connect so we can load an unload our media. I dont have the space to load my whole library and wouldnt want to wait the years it would take to load it :|
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicYuzer:
I can't connect my Captivate to my Windows PC or Ubuntu through the USB cable that came with the device. I think it's the cable that's short circuited resulting in no connection so I will get a cable asap. My temp solution was an 8GB microSD but even now i tried rooting with the update.zip file and I had no luck I don't really care if my phone connects to the computer as long i have a microSD card reader and rom manager too bad for my 16GB memory but I can't even root! I hope they fix the update.zip file. This phone has killer hardware. It's such a shame how it's being brought down...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] axis01:
Have you tried connecting to a USB port right off the MB? I know my remote USB ports would charge the phone but were flaky when trying to connect to my computer. Moving to the MB USB port fixed all my problems. Connects everytime now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicYuzer:
Well I only have a laptop and I tried all the ports...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
If you truly think the USB cable is bad - then I would suggest going back to your retailer your purchased it from and get another one.

Also - if you want to ROOT your phone - you should still be able to. I would download the CLShortFuse's 1 Click Root application. Then you can copy the update.zip from inside that application's folder and copy it to your internal SDCard like you have been doing then flash as normal.

It will not include SU or Busybox I think though - or enable sideloading of applications. You will still need to d/l ROM Manager and get busybox that way.

I wouldn't recommend flashing ROMS to your phone until you can get it to recognize though. Please tell me you haven't installed kies? And I would go to the Q&A sticky - it has the 1-click root app as well as the USB drivers I recommend installing to have your phone recognized.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
I install the usb drivers for xp and never had an issue with 2 home laptops and 2 work laptops. Wife's windows 7 machine i did not even have to install drivers and it recognized it without issue. Make sure you are using the cable that came with the phone as i have had issues with other micro usb cords that did not come with the phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicYuzer:
I tried the USB drivers you posted on another PC and USB cable and it worked like a charm!

Thanks alot! :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CatFan:
If all you want to do is copy media you can get by without Kies I believe. All you should need is a proper driver setup for your computer. Once drivers are loaded and recognizing the phone all that should be left is to mount the drives on the phone. Just be sure to have the phone in "Mass Storage" mode instead of "Kies" mode. I can't get Kies to work for me but from what I understand the only real benefit of that is for doing upgrades, I might be wrong though since it doesn't work at all for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EpicYuzer:
Exactly I've read on Engadget that 2.2 finally came to Canada but kies won't work for me either :( all I want is to root my god damn phone on 2.1 update 1 to get the gingerbread ROM from supercurio as soon as it's stable but I can't even root :(

I AM MAKING A WIKI FOR ROMS. IF YOU WOULD LIKE TO CONTRIBUTE PLEASE JOIN IT. BASICALLY I AM TRYING TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE IDEALLY THE DEVELOPERS CAN HAVE 1 PLACE TO UPDATE THEIR ROMS AND PEOPLE CAN POST REVIEWS ETC.

ROM LIST

Others:
[Captivate General] creepyncrawly:
Very useful list. Thanks.

A couple of things I'd like to see added. 1) source of the rom / kernel, ie based on i9000, vibrant, captivate, etc. 2) listing of bugs / issues for each one, if available.
[Captivate General] nbs11:
What I'm actually working on doing is creating a Wiki that everyone can edit for the ROMs and then discuss then. I would keep it on XDA but it will be too hard to maintain on my own.
[Captivate General] sschrupp:
It would be awesome to have all that, but wow would that be some difficult work to keep updated. I mean right now ROMs are kind of in limbo as we wait for this Nexus S stuff to develop, but before that there'd be like 10 new ROMs each day it seemed.

That's a lot of change notes, bug lists, kernel updates, etc. to track.

[HTC Aria General] kaschenberg:
This is epic for a wireless device. I wish I had these speeds in my area. I think the fastest I've gotten was a bit over 3mbit and close to 1mbit upload.

- Running CM6.1

It's funny how all this 4G advertising has come about lately. Verizon's 4G is actually very impressive but the 3G network still can be improved vastly to be far greater than what it is now. The HSPA 3.5G network can handle 7.2mbit connections on our phones and we're only seeing half that. Imagine if everyone was getting 6-7mbit down speeds all the time! That's nearly 1mb/sec.
[HTC Aria General] Anthony1s:
Seeing this thread makes me sad because I used to get 3500kbps but now get about 600kbps. I couldn't figure out the problem and decided to call AT&T. They want some of my phones info and to maybe exchange it. I've been too lazy to backup and flash the stock ruu and talk to them.

Help! I have tried to Flash back to clean stock ROM on my Nook Color with no results. I still have all the Andorid stuff and now I can not "re-register my nook color to get my books back. I'm in a world of hurt here and would like to get my Nook Color back to the original state.

PLease help!

None of the following works:

Perform "Factory Reset" to clear /data After this completes, you will need to clear the /data partition.

Method 1: Hardware Key Combination Note: It's been stated that this procedure can be done while the NOOKcolor is powered on or powered off. These instructions follow the powered off method.

1. With the NOOKcolor powered off hold down the n button (home), Vol + button and Power Button until the NOOKcolor powers on.

2. You will be prompted with a Factory Reset dialog. Press POWER key to Exit Press HOME key to continue

3. Press n button (home).

4. You will be prompted to confirm. Press POWER key to Exit Press HOME key to continue

5. Press n button (home).

6. A Clearing Data dialog will show. NOOKcolor will reboot automatically once complete.

Method 2: "Erase & Deregister Device" 1. Go to Settings

2. Select "Device Info" under the top "Device Settings" section

3. Select "Erase & Deregister Device"

4. Select the "Erase & Deregister Device" button

5. You will be prompted with the following confirmation dialog Are you sure you want to reset your Nook? Doing so will return your Nook to factory settings, erase local content and deregister this device. Cancel Reset Nook

6. Select the "Reset Nook" button

7. A Deregistration message will appear and NOOKcolor will reboot.

8. Upon reset a Clearing data message will appear Clearing data... A reset is being performed. This may take a few minutes.

9. NOOKcolor will reboot again once complete.
[Nook Color General] themirthfulswami:
I had to do this with my first NC so I could exchange it for a non-defective one. You need to interrupt the normal boot up procedure 8 times in a row by holding down the power button while the device is booting. Shut the nook down completely, hold power until the screen turns on and you see the "future of reading" message come up, let the button go for a second, then re-press and hold it down until the device shuts off. Repeat that 7 more times and the nook will automatically factory-reset itself and all the stuff you installed on it will be gone.

You can re-register and re-download all your content after that.

Worked for me.. did it in the car outside BN before I returned my first one :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] merkk:
A simply little solitaire game i've installed has a review from a user that claims the app gives out your personal info to ad agencies. He claims it gives out your age, gender, name and phone #. I'm not sure how it would give out age or gender since i dont remember telling my phone how old i am or my gender.

And when i go to install the app it says the app requires NO permissions.

so i'm just wondering if the person who posted that review is just a spammer, or if there's some way i can determine if it's true. I kind of doubt it's true for the simple fact i know of no way the phone would know my age or gender so i don't see how the app could give that info out. And if it says it needs no permissions, doesn't that mean the app is incapable of sending or receiving data?

if it matters, it's the solitaire game by ken magic.

thanks
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] getlikeme2007:
are you rooted? if so did it ask for Superuser Privelages? i would download OSMonitor and check to see if Solitaire has an established date connection and if it does i would do a nand restore to a date prior to installing the app.

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Daz555:
Sense is more RAM hungry but in a device with so much RAM who really cares?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] faugusztin:
Let me rephrase that :

The memory difference between Cyanogenmod ROM and HTC Sense ROM is Sense itself. It's the Sense UI which uses memory the OP wants to get. So it's either Sense, or Cyanogenmod. There is no way to have Cyanogenmod memory usage with HTC Sense running.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cylent:
This may have been asked before but when i tried to search it said "Search is disabled for 10 minutes..." ... so heres the question

Compared to my samsung galaxy s i9000 the SE X10i screen sensativity to finger touches is really not that great.

I realize the screens are different but one fact remains -- they are both capacitive. On GSM Arena the specifications list the X10 as TFT capacitive touchscreen and while the GalaxyS as having Super AMOLED capacitive touchscreen.

Fine. so moving on. the problem is when it comes to gaming and some applications. i find myself with my X10 having to really put some pressure to get a reaction from the device ....

i was playing Armored strike yesterday and even the chat box in the left hand corner of the screen is hardly press-able. i have to literary put lots of pressure and try all sorts of finger positions to get a reaction.

Owning a WM-HD2 before i have seen many utilities out there that tweak settings like this so the question stands... is there a way to tweak the sensitivity on android and especially on our X10s??

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ooidort:
Because numbers above 33 increase the latency. 26 seems to be the optimal value for low latency and good sensitivity.

[Epic 4G General] grkmaster:
I been helpign my friend with updates for his phone and such and he was telling that when he was on stock that in the dial pad he was able to type the last names or a part of a name and it would show up as a option from the drop down..

But after i installed him a dk28 build it stopped working that way but with first names only. I have a captivate and when i was on stock, I definitely didnt have that feature.

Does anyone know if this is true? Any way to make it work the way he was telling me?

I would really appreciate it..

Thanks
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
I can confirm that mine (DK28) only searches first name, weird.
[Epic 4G General] grkmaster:
Do you remember how it worked when you were on stock?
[Epic 4G General] AndrewZorn:
Well, no, just saying it does in fact only search by FIRST name. Which is odd, considering the way I have my contacts set up... first name should not really be relevant...

So I'm thinking it isn't "first name" as much as it is "starts with".

I don't know if this is different than the way stock worked, but knowing that it is "starts with" makes more sense. I mean, every time you typed "a" or "e" you would get so many results if it searched as "contains"...
[Epic 4G General] grkmaster:
Contains would make more sense with what my friend wants to do.. Alot of his contacts cause of work have the name of the company before the first name to differ which person it is but also there is a "-" in the company which prevents him from searching exactly how he wants

[Nexus S General] Mr.Kakarot:
So a long story short, we drove down and bought 2 brand new Nexus S phones.... we did open them to make sure they powered on and stuff but it had that top protective layer on the screen.... so we drive back (6 hour return trip, had lots of fun explaining this to the border guys).

So now, we take off the protective cover... to use the phones, I have at least 4 light scratches on mine screen... I feel sick... call my buddy, the exact same thing... WTF? I would not believe it if I did not see it.... they are not bad enough to warrant another 6 hour drive, but it certainly makes me dislike my new phone a little more and it already hurts the resale value....

Just wondering if anyone else has had this problem? What is best buys return policy? Then again, they might not even believe me and blame me?
[Nexus S General] Ayesuku:
I've not had this problem, thankfully. My NS is gorgeous all around. Very happy with it so far.
[Nexus S General] allen099:
Sadly Samsung cheaped out on this phone and decided NOT to include Gorilla Glass. Bad move...I don't understand why manufacturers feel the need to move backwards sometime.

Anyway, Best Buy's return policy is 14 days, no restocking fee. They shouldn't give you any trouble with this particular issue as long as the rest of the phone isn't damaged (i.e. dropped).
[Nexus S General] demo23019:
Actually I read somewhere in here that if you bought the phone at full price you have 30 with no restocking fee
[Nexus S General] Mr.Kakarot:
I see, but again... it is a 6 hour drive round trip and then a fight with the border... hahaha.... it was the second the layer came off I could notice, I am sick about it... because it is an amazing, beautiful phone... and when i could not understand it... it only got worse when my friend said the same thing, 2 strange.

I might call, check stock, talk to a manager and make the drive.... thx all
[Nexus S General] allen099:
This is true for buying at T-Mobile stores. Best Buy (as I was explained on Saturday) has a 14-day for outright and on-contract purchases. Definitely give the store a call to double-check. At least they removed those darn restocking fees. I couldn't believe my ears at first!
