[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
well the math above is not accurate. i mean the assumtion is too simple. and the rated mah is probably even less accurate. 1500mah is a rating measured with certain test criteria. say maximum charge or a specific voltage drained down to another specific voltage regarded as zero. also the battery never actually reaches zero in the phone. the battery meter scales batery use to the minimum voltage that the phone can safely operate determined by the manufacturer and is likely a different value than the minimum used to rate the battery mah. testing standards may differ from battery manufacturers as well. all in all a 1600 mah battery may have negligable effect or it might increase battery life by 20%+ especially if the voltage considered 0% by the phone is significantly higher than the voltage used to rate the battery.

the extended double thick bateries unless specifically designed for the captivate will not work without modification to the phone. it is the simple fact that the lock slider to the battery door wont close unless there is a cutaway in the battery to clear it. the i9000 and vibrant batteries wouldnt allow you to close the lock slider so it's not as simple as making a battery door. this is why we dont have a battery door available. the easiest way is to leave the lock open and create a molded slip cover that wraps around most of the phone as a batery door but this will increse the length of the phone and leave the slider vulnerable to impact if dropped. other options include permanently modifying the slider or dissembling the phone and removing the slider. most consumers are not about to take a screwdriver or blade to there phone so thats out as a comercial option unless it is a service offered at cell phone/accessory stores. but for the diyer the phone is easy to take apart, traditional philips screws are used and the plastic is not fragile, the slider can be extended further to expose the hidden screws if you use your fingers to pull upward on it as if to just rip it off, it will flex and you might fear breaking it but it is tough, once it is bent up in the middle 2mm or so it can be slid down enough to expose the last two screws. it can then be slid back into place with no damage. once the back of the phone is separated from the screen assembly the slider can be slid right out. i think this type of mod could work if someone fabricated the new door and lock but it would be hard to sell.

i am a machinist and could produce something if requested but i feel like its not the kind of thing that would make money. too few have this phone and want an extended battery. and i feel like id have to do a large number of the installs as well. how many people are willing to send an expensive phone in the mail to some dude that has a mill in his basement to have a mod done while they wait phoneless in the mean time? just not realistic.

Hey I just flashed my droid x to cricket and the internet is really slow. On the top of phone it says 1x and little arrows under that. Isn't there supposed to be a 3g symbol there instead . Is it supposed to be like that. How can I make it faster. Any ideas. Also if I flash cm6 will I loose my full flash
[Captivate General] jz3:
Samsung posted this updated installation guide on their website this morning. IMHO if it's going to happen in December it's going to be this week. http://www.samsung.com/us/support/owners/product/SGH-I897

[Captivate General] SlappyMcGee:
I think they just added the instructions for recovery mode. Seeing as how "Some of" the Canadian Vibrants are reporting corrupt storage issues after trying to upgrade via kies mini.
[Captivate General] jatkins09:
With all of the gingerbread action in the past week, I don't know why anyone would even bat an eye at an official froyo release. If you aren't running a 2.2 rom based on the leaked versions yet, you are severely limiting the speed and "snappiness" of your device. In short, while you guys wait for Sammy to roll out their "official" 2.2 update, we'll be running GB.
[Captivate General] jz3:
Good point, but isn't that the U.S. site?

There are plenty of reasons as discussed in these forums. For me I heavily use my phone for business and cannot afford any "hiccups".
[Captivate General] emuneee:
JH7 w/ Voodoo is faster than any ROM based on a leaked Froyo build (from my experiences). I haven't tried the i9000 based ROMs however.
[Captivate General] guthriemd:
I too use my phone for work. And I also cannot have any "hiccups". I can be without it long enough to flash a ROM and then re-setup the stuff I need. That process takes less than 30 minutes nowadays.

If you stick to a true Cappy ROM (not an i9000-based one), then you won't experience hiccups...at least I don't. Battery life is a slight issue, but really, when are completely without the means to charge up some?

I've flashed maybe half a dozen times since I can't afford a bricked phone. I'm picky about flashing. But I'm also very picky about having a phone that is quite impressive hardware-wise, but almost completely crippled by the lackluster software. While Froyo isn't the most awesome thing ever, it is a major improvement over Eclair.
[Captivate General] xiaoali:
I used to flash quite often.. But it got to be a hassle restoring game saves... Contacts (then re-linking then to my Facebook contacts)... yada yada... It takes up more tme than one would think.

And like its been said. A stable release from Samsung means a stable release for the devs.

Though Im not gonna think twice about flashing 2.3... Can't wait for a working version.
[Captivate General] bames:
thats understandable but i would say in my experience there are less hiccups with most custom 2.2 roms than there are with either stock 2.1 rom.

Not to mention on the business front Exchange is much more stable and functional for me on the 2.2 roms vs. 2.1 stock.

Axura, Assonance, Chronos all very stable.
[Captivate General] gmanunited:
I thought the hold up was the carriers on the update. But I think Samsung has been really slow in the release of 2.2. Samsung not AT&T has been the problem all along. Don't you think one of the carriers would have tried to be the first to have their device on 2.2 to sale through the holidays.
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
more speculation here, but I suspect there has been some back and forth between samsung and att. Like att put it through their testing procees. (we know it is pretty extensive) and asked for a change or two. 'caus I'm pretty convinced that samsung just checks that the phone powers up and gets signal with no care as to the quality of signals it is receiving... I am certainly intrigued to see what they come out with after "working" on it for so long.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
The carriers don't care that much... OS version as a selling point matters ZERO to most users unless it brings some major feature. Most feature improvements are minor and don't affect most users - they are not hackers or flashers. For every one person visiting phone Forums, there are 10 others that own the phone and just use it.

2.2 has been out for Galaxy S and Armani - so it is really done for the hardware - we haven't seen any Froyo leaks in a while either - the hold up is the carriers - Samsung was probably late getting it to them, and now they have to give it their blessing.

The Vibrant Froyo was released recently but pulled as it corrupted internal storage. So T-Mo was first, and i guess AT&T will be second.

I also think this updated doc is relevant to the Froyo release - we didn't see this doc with the previous Kies Mini update and there was no Emergency recovery option - they are definitely getting ready to push something new.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
No...certainly not AT&T...they always push the I-phone harder than their Android phones...Can't say for any others selling Galaxy phones though..

Seriously...I use my phone for my work and business as well,and there are quite a few stable 2.2 roms out to use.Hiccups...are always possible...but most times..it's because of a bad install that causes more headaches than anything else..or something left over on the system too. No way in hell would I wait on either Samsung or AT&T for another bloat filled update.Not to mention...all of the bricked phones that happened with Kies last time around...Your much safer getting your upgrade longing filled here..than any OTA update....at least if you get it from here you will get help fixing it...Good luck doing that with AT&T or Samsung...you'll be out a phone for a few days or weeks..

Mac
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Froyo was not released then pulled for the T-Mobile Vibrant. It was released and pulled for the Bell (Canada) Vibrant.
[Captivate General] avgjoegeek:
Thought that Sprint's Epic has Froyo released? Or is that just another leak too? Forgot to ask my brother last night (he has the Epic)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
None of the US carriers has Froyo update for Galaxy S yet. That tells me it is Samsung that is dragging the feet.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Even if samsung pushed the update to the carriers 2 weeks ago they still have to test it.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Samsung knows exactly how long carriers need to validate and test the firmware. If they intent to release the Froyo on schedule, they should have pushed the update earlier. After all, carriers test updates from all manufacturers like Motorola and HTC, not just Samsung. If Motorola and HTC can release Froyo, and subsequent patches, in time for their phones, there is no reason Samsung can't if it is capable of.

This just tells you how somethings never change when it comes to firmware update from Samsung.
[Captivate General] C.C.W.:
Then why does AT&T have the Samsung Galaxy Tab available with Android 2.2?
[Captivate General] ardyer:
Because the tab was released with 2.2. It never had to get updated.
[Captivate General] richb500:
I think you may have answered your own question. It's likely that Samsung put their development resources in the Galaxy Tab and let the phones wait. They already have our money.
[Captivate General] jpinks:
I blame them both. This is kinda stupid to have GB already out and hitting phones and we still sit on Eclair. If I'm not mistaken some of the phones getting GB dont have half the hardware we are supposed to have.:mad:
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
So get another phone.

GB has nothing to do with this - the only phones with GB have hacked versions that are not 100% functional.

Anyone complaining about upgrade time and path should go get an iPhone 4. It will probably get the next 3 updates each about 6 months apart. But then again, Apple could change at any time.

Android upgrades are what they are - since 1.5 if you bought anything other then a "google phone" you will wait on upgrades.
[Captivate General] Evilspawn:
another pointless froyo thread...i started one and mods closed it...please mods do the same here....if this isnt closed thats soooooo unfair because my thread was something official. I work for at&t and i got an email about the froyo update for december and mods decided to close the thread??? awesome:eek:
[Captivate General] polarbee:
Regardless of any point, you really come across as just whiny here.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Who's to say that once it was released to AT$T that some problems didn't crop up? Since it will be AT$T having to deal with any issues related to the update they might not have wanted to see their customer service swamped with calls and decided to hold it up until the bugs were worked out. It really is hard to point a finger of blame for the delay in this situation, but AT$T likely has final say on the when and won't do so until they are satisfied it will be less headache and more benefit.
[Captivate General] emuneee:
Not one phone currently has Gingerbread besides the lead device, the Nexus S...lolz
[Captivate General] Evilspawn:
Yea whinny complaining about dumb kids like you that clutter the forums and make everyone leave to d4a
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
But that doesn't explain lack of Froyo update for Samsung phones on Verizon, Sprint and T-Mobile. Last time I checked, AT&T doesn't have any say about other networks. In the meantime, we see Froyo updates for HTC and Motorola phones every other week.

Besides, it is not AT&T's fault that Samsung produced crappy firmware.
[Captivate General] gunnyman:
I guess we shouldn't be surprised by any of this. Has Samsung EVER properly supported a phone after the sale?
[Captivate General] jz3:
Yeah I remember they were many months late getting out a WM6.1 update for my old Blackjack II. Same old BS!
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
And WM6.0 update for BlackJack 1 was even longer wait. Took Samsung a whole year to release it.
[Captivate General] liquid blue:
Not that I think those samsung monkeys at twitter know anything more than sending out factory reset codes for every problem people have, but they've stopped responding "Froyo before year's end" to "We don't have a date."

C'mon Curio! 2.3 FTW.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
Ok guys can we let this die lol. I close or remove a ton of these threads a day. Weather it is ATT or Samsung that is holding it up either way by the time it does get here we will most likely already have better. I have to say I have had less issues with custom roms then with the stock roms to a point where not one person encluding the companies it guy that will not run a stock rom. Either way it will be here when it gets here. A watched pot...........

[HD7 General] crippled:
My HD7's GPS ('my location' doesnt work, nor does the free 'GPS' app.) doesnt seem to be working.

I dont have a 3g network, and my GPRS doesnt work thanks to the failure of HTC's connection settings app as well. But even over WiFi, the GPS fails.

Is that how it is? Does GPS required GPRS/3G to function?! If not, should i return my HD7?
[HD7 General] crippled:
ok GPS app now works and shows some altitude/longitude.... but the Maps 'my location' still fails. :/ any ideas?
[HD7 General] crippled:
i've got 3g and still refuses to work :(

anyone?
[HD7 General] TheYyg:
HD7 uses aGPS

Unfortunately, the GPS capabilities of the HD7 have disappointed me as well. In actuality, the HD7 uses assisted GPS technology which requires a signal from nearby cellular towers, preferably three towers or more, in order to triangulate the position. Also, currently no external true GPS can be used, at least via bluetooth, since the bluetooth profile on wp7 only supports hands-free audio.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
Lately, as I delete emails after I have read them within the Gmail app, they will show back up in the Inbox a little while later, sometimes as new/unread mail and sometimes showing as unread emails in the Inbox counter but not actually showing in the Inbox.

I've done several things to try and fix it:

- Went into Applications and cleared the caches (problem eventually comes back)

- Cleared the caches as well as uninstalled the Gmail updates then reinstalled from Market (problem eventually comes back)

I've searched through the forums and can't find where anyone has written about having this issue or resolving it. Has anyone here run into this and if so, how did you go about resolving it?

Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thyestes:
I have the same problem. Did you manage to solve this issue?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
No "final" solution that fixes it...just have to keep doing the 2 steps I wrote about and the problem goes away for a while.

It happens maybe every 2 weeks and seems to pop up when I haven't gone into Gmail and emptied my trash from within the Gmail site for a while. Also seems to come back if I read through emails too quickly; maybe an issue with reading and then deleting on the phone before the phone can push back to the server that it's been read...just guessing.

Sorry...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
Go to manage applications, find GMail then force stop it. clear cache and then clear data. Reopen GMail and set up the label sync etc how you like it and should be good. Hope this works for you, let me know.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
Thanks ifly! Haven't tried the force stop part before so I just did it. I'll report back if anything comes back.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ifly4vamerica:
No problem at all. Hope it fixes it. I have this happen quite a bit after a nand backup or restore. When I do a nand restore i always wipe data/factory reset, then cache and davlik now and that seems to fix the problem. Not sure what is getting hung up in the data to cause this.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
That's what's been bugging me as well...I do all the wipes when I do a nand restore or load a new rom but Gmail always seems to go back to this stranger behavior. I looked all over these forums (and others), hoping someone had at least seen the same thing but to no avail.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
UPDATE: Started having the same issue with Gmail. Was honestly hoping the last suggestion would help...guess not.

Any other ideas...anyone?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacktacular:
Login to gmail from a browser.

Click settings and then "Forwarding and POP/IMAP" tab

Check the settings there. I have both pop enabled and IMAP.

What are yours set to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sigmaxaa:
I've got them both enabled as well.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hacktacular:
hmmm not sure what the deal is then...strange.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rycelover:
I'm having similar issues as well. I would get an email notification, open gmail, read it, delete it. Few minutes later, it shows up as an unread email but does not appear in my inbox. If i go to my "all" email box, it's there. I also still see it on my desktop PC. It finally goes away when I delete it from my PC. Another major problem that has not been mentioned here is that I cannot send an email from my EVO using the gmail app. It just keeps sitting there in my outbox. Very frustrating.

hey guys. I'm not sure if i can do this but i come to the community to suggest a bounty to the Developers and team wich can make a completly workable port wich is fluid and isnt a battery drain for HTC magic 32A for new radio 6.35 for Froyo cyanogen and if we are lucky upcoming Gingerbread.

For start i would be giving a 5$ to this bounty.

This bounty is not only a motivation, but a reward for those who worked so hard and made it happen so that we can have our magics working flawsly . I hope the team such as Carz sanpei capychimp and others join up to this fight together.

Anyone care to join up ? :)

[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] alex_canada:
I would donate as well...I'm sick of the old radio. I promise myself to never try that again because of the problems one has to cope with when using that piece of ancient software.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
same opinion =p
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] eyegor:
To be honest, the old radio works MUCH better in Serbia than the new one.

When I'm using the new radio and I get disconnected from the network i need to reboot, sometimes up to FIVE times for the phone to be able to connect again.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] mathcunha:
one more!

I will definitely contribute!
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] sunny1227:

the cyan: http://saraev.ca/CyanogenMod-NR-6.1.0-RC1.zip

gapps: http://saraev.ca/gapps-mdpi-20101020-signed.zip

some important things you should know:

- camera not working. no time to deal with it sorry ;(

- I have no idea about battery life with this. check it yourself

- do not try to install updates via rommanager (wont work even if they appear)

- do not report bugs to cyanogen forums. I am almost sure he won't support this :)

- you'd better download the file and host it somewhere so I can remove it from my server.

- if someone is interested in further development, please open a new thread. I really don't have time to support it..

- if you wish to donate I am not the right person, donate to cyanogen ;)

enjoy ;)

32a aosp gingerbread

I don't have a 32A device myself (ADP1) but I'm working alot with ezterry on AOSP 2.3 for dream/sapphire in this thread

Just to mention the work was done before I saw this thread so the bounty did'nt drive me to make a 32A version :D A few members did ask for a 32A "Alpha" rom so I did take some time to make one off the lastest nightbuild we have with a few tweaks.

Check out this post for download link. It says I cannot test it and everything but it was tested by atleast 3 persons and it's working as fine as on 32B.

It's not 100% functionnal... we are aware these things dont work :

gsensors

gps

cam recording

video playing

If some people with 32A devices can give us a hand I guess it's worth posting the links here :)

Happy new year !
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] jgcaap:
Hello bypass this wich you are suggesting is not for new radio :(
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] gkenny1991:
well im kinda a noob but i wana know what bounty is :D maybe some explenation :rolleyes:
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bypass23:
Have you even tried it ? :eek:

The 32B 2708 Kernel version we have on the other thread is for newest radio but that requires kernel patches + SPL to work on 32B and as far as I know it doesnt requires any patches for 32A... where have you seen 32A 2708 kernels ? :confused:

I've got people running the 32A version on older and newest radio... It's just a matter of kernel to get the 32B rom to work on 32A and as I said there is no special kernel for newest radio for 32A devices........
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] nobooya:
Well, new radio for 32A is 6.35 with 1.76 SPL and it's not compatible with old radio.

We can run all 32B roms with old radio - 3.22 and 1.33 SPL, but we need to flash ported kernel, but it's not the problem (pershoot's kernel is compiled for 32B and 32A). Bounty here is for creating ROM, that works with 6.35 radio.
[myTouch 3G, Magic Android Development] bypass23:
Thanks for the clarification ;)

I'm still curious if the 32A AOSP Gingerbread works with 6.35 radio...

As the persons who tried it never really told me what radio they were using and not mentionned in their signature either :cool:

Anyway I never posted anything here related to the bounty I'm just being curious...
