[Captivate General] APE992:
Obviously it won't. Another odd behavior it is displaying is that during some reboots it skips the AT&T logo and goes straight to the boot up animation. Some times it vibrates before showing "swipe to unlock" and sometimes it doesn't. I almost have enough time to get into Rom Manager and tell it to reboot into recovery but I've gotten to hit the button and then it reboots into it's fun cycle again.

Almost as if it doesn't have recovery mode at all anymore or USB function.

Yes several times now. It just pops up with the charging screen and sits there each time.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
What happens when you hold both vol buttons and the power button? Anything?
[Captivate General] APE992:
Pulls up that circular loading whateveritiscalled then the grey battery appears, sits for a few seconds and cycles that again over and over.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
Will it stop force closing long enough to go into the settings and do a factory reset? Also, I would check the usb debugging box. I have found it unchecked after a flashing or restoring sometimes. Don't know why.
[Captivate General] APE992:
Not usually no. The amount of time I have to get in and try anything varies a bit based on voodoo and how many times I press the screen it seems. Without a stop watch I'm guessing it's alive for a full 20-30 seconds before it reboots with the Force Close boxes slowing down the process further as most of the time it's unresponsive as something else is crashing in the background.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
Have you tried plugging it into different usb ports? There will be times that only one out of the five I have on my computer will register. All others only charge.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Chances are USB debugging is not enabled and that is what your issue is as suggested by the previous poster. Unless you are able to get into development you might just have to get lucky. I am not sure what else you can try.
[Captivate General] APE992:
Yes I have. This laptop has only 3 ports and my desktop 8 or so but they all react the same. The phone just wants to use the power to charge.
[Captivate General] majinzen:
Sorry, out of ideas too. Looks like it's time for a jig.
[Captivate General] APE992:
Yep. Got lucky and had 3 100k ohm resistors on hand. Cracked the casing off the end of the USB charging cable and soldered them on and just finished running Odin. Seems to be booting up just fine now.

Hopefully this thread of insanity will be able to help someone else.
[Nook Color General] applecityfoxes:
Hey guys,

I decided to reflash my nook by holding the power button down 8 times. It loaded the software update and proceeded to the white barnes and noble screen but since then seems to be stuck, the boot animation keeps replaying. Every now and then the screen turns black and it goes back to the white b&n loading screen. It's been this way for about 4 hours so far. Is this normal? I've never reflashed before so I'm not sure how long it's supposed to take. Does anyone know the time it takes to re-image the system partition?
[Vibrant Accessories] Sekito:
Anyone tried Klipsch Image S4i, Bose - MIE2 mobile headset, or Beats By Dr. Dre - Monster Solo High-Definition Over-the-Ear Headphones with ControlTalk? (I got the titles off Best Buy). I hear a lot of the more expensive headsets have trouble with phones that are not apple brand. Anyone own any of these and use it with the vibrant? I am running latest axura rom with voodoo enabled, if that matters.

Can anyone skim through the best buy online store and tell me what are the some of the best headphones they carry (preferably with mic but without mic is fine too)? thanks :)
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Best earbuds imo:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001NABXXE/ref=twister_dp_update?ie=UTF8&psc=1

They are on a severe discount now too. As for where it's coming from, I'm an audiophile and did my research on ear canals when I was looking for a pair for my Vibrant. The microphone also works perfect with the phone and can control music players just fine.

This set is a tad bass-heavy, just warning ya. It can handle ANY volume you throw at it too.
[Vibrant Accessories] Sekito:
hmmm those look really good, I really want to get something from best buy though because I can get employee discount, if none of the best buy ones work maybe i'll get that
[Vibrant Accessories] brooke00000:
I own the Beats by Dre Solo HDs and use them with my Vibrant. The audio is perfect, but I haven't been able to get the Control Talk to work (although I haven't tested them yet with Nero). I definitely recommend them!
[Vibrant Accessories] Sekito:
does the mic work?
[Vibrant Accessories] Five0nIt:
he just said no.
[Vibrant Accessories] brooke00000:
Actually I haven't tried the mic, I just know that the controls to change and pause the music don't work. I'll try the mic and let you know.
[Vibrant Accessories] Five0nIt:
Just tried my Beats. Mic works.
[Vibrant Accessories] lilflip193:
I have beats by dream studio headphones and use it with my.vibrant all the time. Its awesome and sounds really clear and peefect
[Vibrant Accessories] heygrl:
I love my Mobile In-Ear BOSE earbuds. I plan on upgrading to the MIE2 soon, but the sound/operation should mostly be the same.
[Vibrant Accessories] ionic7:
If you think the beat by dre are perfect you have alot to learn about audio all they are are heavy bass and crappy mids and highs, people only buy bose and dre **** just because media tells them too when theya re really some of the ****tiest things you can get

and vmoda is tits.
[Vibrant Accessories] m3ta1head:
Klipsch s4i is the best out of all in the OP. Etymotic, shure, and ultimate ears also make good headsets in the same price range, not sure if BB carries any of them though. Beats and bose are all marketing, you'll find little in the way of actual sound quality.

Personally I am using ultimate ears triple fi 10s with my vibrant to listen to music, and they are very revealing-the vibrant is not a very good source in this regard. I highly prefer a dedicated DAP with a decent internal amp for optimum sound quality. These are probably out of your price range, though.
[Vibrant Accessories] heygrl:
If you haven't heard the new MIE2 you shouldn't make a generalization about it. I hope those S4i's last longer than they have for others.
[Vibrant Accessories] }{Alienz}{:
Some Bose are good but all of them way too overpriced for the quality.

Dr. Dre is marketing mostly though, don't get that if you're looking for actual sound quality. If you're looking for bling that looks nice in your ears, get them. :)
[Vibrant Accessories] Sekito:
heygrl does the mie2's mic work with vibrant? anyone know if the s4i's mic works with vibrant?
[Vibrant Accessories] Sekito:
I read some of the reviews and quite a few say they have poor build quality, is this true? one of the reviews said that the manufacturer wouldn't honor the warranty because it was purchased from an Amazon reseller.
[Vibrant Accessories] steveruv:
anyone with the beats by dre, either solo or tours...do they come with a regular cord and then the one with the control talk? im thinking i can use my sony mw600 bluetooth with the beats without the control talk cord.

thanks.
[Vibrant Accessories] jbeez:
The earphones that come with the vibrant aren't bad at all for freebies. I'd rather listen to these than the beats or the bose headphones. That said, I don't typically use my vibrant to listen to music with headphones, if listen with headphones i have a dac hooked upto my pc that goes to a hornet headphone amp and a pair of hd650 sen's.

Since I drive to work and don't take public transportation, I find that I rarely am in a position to consume media from my phone in that manner.

I do like the shure se series, you should look into them and see if they're right for you.
[Vibrant Accessories] sablemonster:
I have a pair of klipsch (forgot the model), the sound quality is great. Highs and lows are very clear.
[Vibrant Accessories] m3ta1head:
Ah nice to see another headphone enthusiast on xda. Im also running a usb dac from my laptop to a hifiman ef2 to drive my denon d2000s. Been thinking about picking up some hd600s to compliment the denons.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wormwonder:
So I just rooted my phone today and I was wondering what are the next steps that I should take. Should I make a recovery file just in case my system crashes? If so, how would I do that? Secondly, do I have to flash a ROM to my rooted phone or may I just keep the stock version? If I decide to keep my stock version, would updates still happen automatically or would I have to unroot and then update? As you can see, I'm a noob at this.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] beanbean50:
well it seems that you've nearly got the hang of the rom manager so that's your backup problem solved, but it's not a good idea to backup your unrooted stock rom as when there is an over the air update it will reflash your rom to a rooted version
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] phoenixhel:
I would boot into recovery, probably Clockworkmod and do a backup. Then download Rom Manager or search the web for Roms and play around and see what one works best for you. I would leave kernels and radios alone for now until you play with flashing roms.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] wormwonder:
So I did a backup through rom manager lite version. I was thinking of flashing bb.01 but can I do that through rom manager, despite the fact that I have the free version? Also, when I wipe cache and data, I would lose my contact info right? So how would I recover my contacts after I install BuglessBeast? lastly, is it safe to flash a rom through the free version of rom manager because I had several attempts using backup ability on rom manager before it finally made a backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Caspers25:
Well they just recently updated the Amon RA Recovery from 1.8.0 to 2.1.1

so if i could get some help.

they have the new features of wipe data,wipe cache,wipe sd card,wipe sd something,and then they have the wipe dalvik cache,data and factory reset and just wipe cache from last recovery.

So i need to know how to do a full wipe for a Rom

and a how to wipe correctly for a kernel or just flashing anything.

please.

dont flame=]

have a nice day.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dkdude36:
anybody kno the new features of the new amon?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
what are you looking to do, flash the new Amon?

If so then you need to just push that image to the phone. What I did was after I downloaded the new version i renamed it to something easy, like FILE01 or something. then just push it. Either terminal via your evo or do it using the CMD using adb shell

here is the commande to push it.

1. Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.1.1.img to the root of your sdcard

2. start the terminal app or launch adb

3. su(press enter)

4. flash_image recovery /sdcard/(CHANGE TO WHATEVER YOU NAMES YOUR FILE TO ) .img(press enter)

5. reboot recovery(press enter)

If youre wondering what to do if flashing a new rom, I would do factory data reset twice, then do cache twice and dalvik cache twice. Make sure you have your rom on the root of your SD card. Put it on the first screen as the SD card comes up. Dont put it in a folder. Then do a update from zip and find it and flash it then reboot.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mroneeyedboh:
Yeah, its the usual except:

under

Wipe:

Return

Wipe ALL data/factory reset

Wipe /data

Wipe /cache

Wipe /sdcard/.android_secure

Wipe /sd-ext

Wipe Dalvik-cache

Wipe Battery settings

Wipe Rotate settings

Partition SD:

Return

Partition SD

Repair SD:ext

SD:ext2 to ext3

SD:ext3 to ext4

Mounts:

Return

Mount /system

Unmount /cache

Mount /data

Mount /sd-ext

Mount /sdcard

I think thats it.

Hi guys

I have recently come from the Windows mobile systems to Android (because WP7 is kack), I used to log into my Windows Home Server and stream movies from it to my phone using WebGuide.

This method doesn't seem to work on Android, does anyone know of any applications for Android or Windows Home Server which will allow me to do this again?

Most movies are home made and have been converted to .mp4 or .wmv formats but I do have a couple of .avi movies too.

Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you.

Terry
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] darthteacher:
I have had luck with the mp4 streaming server from the tools4movies website. Streams well over wifi and will do 3G if the quality is reduced enough. It might suit most of your needs

Never found an Android app and was considering a Windows 7 phone since it is supposed to work well with WHS V2, I have decided to stick with Android.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tkolev:
If you can install VLC player on your server, you can watch your movies with VLC S&C Free app for your DHD. You can play anything with that - mp4, avi, wmv, mkv... you name it.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] terryd1980:
This is probably old news now but for anyone who wants to know, I finally found an app that works.

It's called Subsonic, it works on port 4040 on your media center/WHS box and streams perfectly for music and video - it doesn't say that it supports video as it was originally designed just for music but it works impressively none the less.

Subsonic also has a trick up its sleeve which allows you to watch live tv directly from your tv tuner, from what I can tell this only works from Media Centre machines itself with a HD Homerun box which allows TV over IP.

I hope this helps anyone who comes across this article.

Hello,

i am new to the andriod world (few days) well i decided to get a samsung captivate i used to have an iphone, i was wondering if there is a recent list of the steps on how to root this phone? not assuming that i know a step or more. i researched all day today and found some that were pretty good but some didnt work for some reason. i also didnt know i need it the samsung drivers so this is what i mean by not skipping a step or assuming i know a step. thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
There are several how to videos you can find. Look for one click root if you only want to root. It is about as easy as you get. It was created by TGA Gunman. Or you can search for the Clockworkmod update.zip and place that in the root of your SD card. Then you would be able to install a Rom without actually needing to root your phone first.

Also please make sure to post questions in the proper section. You will have the wolves after you for posting a general question in dev ;)

[G Tablet General] sonkey:
Hello All,

This is my first post so be gentle.. Hehe. I just got a G Tab yesterday and installed the TnT 3.14 custom ROM. I have a Moto Droid 1 so I am experienced with flashing custom roms. I noticed that the G Tab has 16gb internal memory.

The problem I have is that it says I have 13gb user memory left but for some reason I cant get that portion on the memory to be viewable to load pics or movies on,. It keeps saying not enough space like its going to the APP partitioned space which is like 2gb.

Is there something I can do to load stuff onto the other 13gb of space it says is there.. Please give me a hand if anyone knows....

Thanks, Rob
[G Tablet General] cscotty:
If I'm not mistaken you have to go into clockwork recovery and mount the SD card. Give that a try and then reboot and see if that works.

Hello,

Thanks tried it but it says the same thing. I think I know what is going on. My movie file is 4.37 GB MKV. The error says that the file trying to be copied over is to large for the destinations "File System".

I think this is a limit of FAT32 isn't it? Can the internal card be modified through clockwork to accept large Files?

Thanks, Rob

No... You need to stay under the 4gb limit.

I've tried a few NAND builds. They're cool. However on everyone of them, when I am using the keyboard, I notice the phone thinks I've touched a different key (usually on the other side of keyboard). For instance, I'll hit the O key, and the phone thinks I pressed V or D or such. Or I'll tap one letter, and the phone registers 2 to 5 different keys pressed.

Has anyone else seen this? Any solutions?

Reflashing HSPL fixed the issue.

Personally, I think your screen has developed a fault and it's just co-incidence that you're trying NAND builds. I, too, thought that it was Android that was at fault, I sent my phone back to HTC and they replaced the screen.

Confirming the problem, I took these steps.

Task 29 Phone and formatted SD card

Install MAGLDR

Install a nand ROM

Problem remained.

Task 29 and format again. MAGLDR again. Another ROM, problem remained.

Task 29 and format again. Flash stock WinMo ROM. Problem gone.

Task 29 and format again. Flash ChuckyDroid and HD2ONE sd ROM. Problem gone.

Seems to me a problem with the MAGLDR / nand builds. No one else has had this? Any solutions?

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
This really sounds like a hardware problem to me man... Try returning for warranty.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FreakyFerret:
It's not hardware. Cause I can run Android SD builds and Windows and have no issues. Perfect operation of the touch screen in all the SD and Win builds. Perfect precisions too. Any build using the NAND and MAGLDR has the problem happen after a couple of minutes.

I can switch between the various types of builds and produce (or resolve) the problem consistantly. It seems odd to me the problem would only exist in MAGLDR use.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
I'm sorry I had misread your post, I thought you had the same problem on WinMo but you just meant in Android with WinMo still in NAND.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] FreakyFerret:
Right. (Wish I could delete my previous posts and consolidate them properly.)

Also, it seems the screen is bit more ... charged when I'm using MAGLDR. Like there's a slight more "static charge" to it. I'm thinking it's some sort of driver issue or something. :/ It becomes really noticable once I install Swype (beta and nonbeta), so maybe Swype is changing a value or something that accentuates the problem.

Does anyone know how to contact the DFT team directly?
