?? which hboot version do I need??? :(

I currently have hboot 0.92...do I need to upgrade it to 1.07 before flashing the radio???

No you do not need to update hboot, but you do need to be s-off. The only way to update the radio if your s-on is to do a complete ruu, whic will update everything to the latest ota.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wisenick:
Does anybody know of a universal app or method of preventing OTA updates? Here is what I have found out so far. PLEASE feel free to correct me

There is a lot of threads that are started because of this and every now and then someone seems to have half an answer. it seems there is 3 different ways of preventing OTA updates.

One is to rename /system/etc/security/otacerts.zip to otacerts.zip.bak but apparently that KILLS your battery. It still allows your phone to look for and install OTA updates but not install so it can drain your battery

The second that i saw was a zip some guy made back when Froyo was a BIG DEAL

the third seems to be the most complicated, yet the best choice. now i'm going to post the instructions for the Droid Incredible.

download android sdk, unzip and copy all files and folders to c:\sdk

root phone with unrevoked3 (see youtube)

Boot into Clockworkmod recovery (dwn vol btn + pwr btn)

press volume down to select "Recovery", then press power.

at Clockworkmod main menu press volume down until "mounts and storage" is highlighted and select it with the optical joystick

then select with the optical joystick "mount /system"

on your computer click Start > Run, and type CMD to open a command prompt

at the command prompt type cd\sdk\tools

at the next command prompt type adb shell

type mkdir /system/app/disabled

type mv /system/app/SystemUpdater.apk /system/app/disabled/

(notice caps in SystemUpdater.apk)

(SystemUpdater.apk app is now located in the disabled folder)

at Clockworkmod partitions menu select with the optical joystick "unmount /system"

press power btn and select "reboot" and unplug the USB cable

Does anybody know of a "one click app" or anything that will prevent OTA updates on all android phones?

[Nexus One General] OPTheory:
Hey guys,

I'm a Vibrant (Galaxy S) owner myself. Yesterday, Mom came home with a Nexus! They're basically the same phone, so it was easy to navigate, etc. She had some major gripes though...

First of all the contacts and dialer app in Gingerbread seem to be quite a step back from what I've had in my Galaxy S since I got it months ago. You can't side-swipe the contacts list to either call them or message them, it doesn't have a list of letters on the side so you have to scroll through the WHOLE list in order to get to where you want, the dialer app looks pretty but it doesn't bring up names as you press the different numbers.

Is there any possible way to bring a Galaxy S style dialpad and contacts list to the Nexus? These features may seem like not a big deal, but when you're dealing with over a thousand contacts it becomes quite important.

Any suggestions would be very welcome! Thank you.
[Nexus One General] Jack_R1:
1) You're on the wrong forum. This in Nexus One forum, not Nexus S.

2) Download Dialer One from the Market.
[Nexus One General] arminsoyka:
Yeah, I too have had a good time with dailer one. Just download it and use as standard app.

Well that's embarrassing! Thanks for the tip though on DialerOne - it looks good.

[Windows Phone 7 General] thesecondsfade:
If someone calls while you're listening to music, it stops the playback for the phone call, but then starts back up after the call ends. The problem with this is that if you were listening through headphones or speakers, you have to race to get it plugged back in before it blasts through the phone's speakers.

Is there any way to make it pause playback after a phone call?

Any announcement on the official ATT Android 2.2 update? I have one of the Captivates with the random shutdown issue and I wanted to wait until the update is released to have ATT make the exchange for a new one...since that was supposed to be this month (Dec).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zevipa:
official 2.2 will be out for the captivate when pigs fly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
Although Endgadget keeps teasing us.. now states that the Epic 4g will really (no I mean really this time) get the 2.2.1 update in early 2011.

At this point I have no hope that AT&T will release one nor that Samsung will ever release the Source code so the devs here on XDA can put out an awesome release.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Love it!

It was never promised for December, only rumors. You'll know when it drops with all the "omg...omg" posts that are sure to follow. I'm still sticking to my original guess of St. Patrick's Day. ;)

Samsung had tweeted that it would be by the end of the year. But a few have said ATT told them it wont be out this year.

In other words we probably still wont get it any time soon.

ATT is a bunch of liers. When I bought mine back in August, I bought it on there word that it would be out by the end of the year. Looks like I might be selling if they dont release it by the end of the year.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] karmsrs:
I'm happy for 2.2 and all, I'mm'a let you finish, but...

Actually, we were only told we'd get the update by the end of the year. Now that I think about it, they never said WHAT YEAR!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnerb123:
I was told by att when I bought the phone that froyo would be released by year end. It was the reason why I upgraded. And with less then a week left I may be returning the phone. Att is just about to perminantly lost me as a customer.

2019... year of the flying earth pig ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] arabcamel:
I would recommend to read up on how to Root your phone and flash a custom ROM. I have Cognition which is a froyo build. I have and have had froyo for a while on my captivate due to a custom ROM that probably works better than the official froyo anyway. :-)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] browwiw:
I run Cognition ROM, too, and it's great...but think how much better it would if the devs and an official 2.2 Froyo for Captivate to work off of.

It would be kind of hilarious is AT&T/Samsung jumped over 2.2 entirely and released a 2.3 version once that wide spread out int he wild.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
Here is a new twist.... My wife received an email from Samsung today advertising that she would soon be able to enjoy Media Hub on her Captivate.

From what I've heard, this goes hand in hand with 2.2, doesn't it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wvumaniac79:
I think we're supposed to get it october of 2010
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skippyg:
Indeed its only available on froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Illidine:
I hope so.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ricethief:
I don't want to extinguish any hopes people may have, but I do not believe 2.2 is required. If I remember correct the Sprint Epic had MediaHub activated by a stand alone update right after it released. It released with 2.1, so pretty sure they can release it packaged in with 2.2 or just release a stand alone update to activate it.

I am sure if they release it as a stand alone update before Froyo, it will really frustrate Captivate owners even more. So hopefully its coming packaged in Froyo.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Miami_Son:
I'm feeling the same. I was ready to jump ship after 12 years with AT$T and get a Droid X, but the Captivate...well, captivated me. Now that I've had it for 2 weeks, I am less than enthused. The GPS on my Tilt 2 always worked, inside or out, and I use it alot. While the Cappy worked great the firat few times I tried it, I haven't been able to get a GPS lock on it for days, inside or out. If Froyo isn't coming then I'll be returning it before my 30 days are up. Keep an eye out for a bunch of accessories I already bought and may have no use for.:mad:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:

At this rate, we will get a 100% vanilla Gingerbread before 2.2 drops.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 10tonhammr:
AT&T's sales reps are excellent at figuring out what people want to hear, and telling them just that. Whether or not its true seems to be a moot point. I'm not going to waste people's time with the story of the epic debacle of trying to get the ECLAIR (2.1 for God's sake!!) upgrade on the fail-tastic Moto Backflip, but it started just like this and ended 11 months later in december of THIS YEAR.

Carriers can't release upgrades they don't have, and neither Samsung nor Motorola have stellar reputations for putting out timely updates, but I'm starting to think AT&T only makes matters worse.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
I for one am fine with stock 2.1 & am willing to wait on an official 2.2. And if it never happens that's cool too. The phone is fine out of the box IMO. Maybe companies like att rely on customers like myself but I'm willing to bet that is the majority for owners of the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
as for froyo, well we will likely have something close to a working gingerbread when froyo launches. we may even have a cm7 release fully working depending on how long they take. also stop blaming att. if t-mobile gets an official froyo then blame att otherwise shut it, the observation that att is lazy may be true but without releases on other carriers then there is no basis for the argument that its all att's fault. i know canada is getting there releases, well i heard the telus t959 did but im not sure if thats just a leak or what. bell is an i9000m so yeah they finally got it months after the international i9000.

i an happy with the dev work here, i will continue to use there roms, i know who is good, who tests there stuff, who is hasty and to wait for the list of complaints before they fix it and then i flash. some of this work is above samsungs quality and i wouldnt give that up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
Stock any version is garbage bloatware. Just run 1 of the many super custom roms and you will be much happier. April 1st was the last date i heard for the 2.2 update. :)

+10 char and +1!

And its the sheeple in the world that keep companies (AT&T and Samsung in this case) from really feeling any pressure to get updates to fix known issues for faulty equipment.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Phoenix-Lead:
Second that. ATT told me the other day that it was supposed to be out late Dec. but will not be coming out until Jan-Feb of 2011. Said they ran into a few "issues."

Happy how? Its fine for me the way it is-I suppose it's like you don't know what you're missing until it's available
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
If you've read about the Vibrant, Fascinate, and the i9000 updates they fubard so bad that people were complaining about frying their internal SDCard (well corruption).

Although I'm not happy about it - I'm kind of glad AT&T has been holding out until Samsung gets this figured out.

.... def not defending them and both AT&T's and Samsung's business practices suck on this. Who want's to bet that AT&T pulls all their Android phones in the future because of debacles like this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
I'll take that bet.

That would be like McDonalds pulling the Big Mac. Ain't gonna happen.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fldude99:
^^^I wouldn't take that bet. Captivate is a huge seller for ATT...I'd say maybe 1% of users even frequent a forum such as this, or root their devices. 99% just use it as is, such as myself-at least for now
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
LOL sorry that was sarcasm. I don't think any carrier in their right mind would drop a line of phones based off of one snafu with one type of phone.

But - you never know with AT&T - they could just start offering WP7/Crackberries/and of course the iPhone and be done with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] upNsmokeAllDay:
Stock 2.2 has been leaked and how much do you really think is going to be different from that and the version they decide to release. I know i am not missing anything from what they will release.:D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alaimar:
Well said. . I personally don't care for it as my custom ROM works a lot better then any stock ROM will. I understand that having the official release will make the custom ROM's better, but honestly how much better can they get. As far as AT&T is concerned they would love to be the one to release the update before T-mobile does I know that for a fact.

Assuming you don't have the shutdown issue (no custom ROM has helped my wife's captivate), and that your GPS isn't compltely sucky (no custom ROM, contact cleaning, tinfoil hat, standing on top of the Empire State building, chicken sacrifices have improved mine).

Thankfully it lets me make calls, listen to music, watch a movie, text my wife, surf the net (as long as I'm not out in the boondocks where my wife's beat up old iPhone 3G could get reception), and play some games pretty well.

Has anyone seen anything about the new Samsung competitor to the Ipod? I saw an article the other day, wish I remembered where, that gave specs about it. It is based on the Galaxy S but without a phone and the AMOLED screen. It is being released with Froyo 2.2. Seems like they are definitely putting time into 2.2 for the Galaxy but not necessarily for us Captivate users!

There is a few post in development that contain the "official" T-Mo update. As far as Kies goes, my educated guess is you do not have the Samsung drivers installed.

I was on the same boat as you. Never got an OTA update. Contacted tmobile online and said to use my sim card in a different phone and make like a 2-3 min call. After that, put it back in your Vibrant and should notify you in 24-48 hrs. That didn't work so I spoke to a different rep and sent me to a Kies site (even though the first rep said it wasn't recommended). I just used Kies Mini.

What step are you stuck at? I got it working through Kies Mini, but it took a lot of trial and error. Did you take out your micro sdcard before plugging in? Read the small print at bottom of the Kies Mini Guide if your phone doesn't recognize on your pc.
