[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcjcc:
AT&T's website says the Captivate is a quad-band UMTS phone (850/900/1900/2100), but the box for the phone only lists three bands (850/1900/2100). Looking it up in the "Device Database" on the xda menubar also gives quad-band UMTS. Has anyone successfully used it on a 900MHz network?

Can't post links, meh.

Installed MIUI ROM yesterday and just flashed Kings 11 CFS kernel but after it rebooted my touchscreen doesn't work! The phone is working but I can't unlock the phone. Tried rebooting and taking out the battery but it didn't help

What do I do?!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _MetalHead_:
Kings 11 CFS is a Sense kernel. MIUI is an AOSP ROM. You need to flash a kernel that is meant for AOSP ROMs. This is flashing 101. Methinks you need to do a bit more research before you flash anything else, before you do some damage to your phone.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PCap79:
Okay thank you for that...but how do I un-freeze my phone? I tried going into recovery to restore one of my backups but it says there are no files found. Is there anyway I can remove the Kings kernel and go back to the original from the recovery mode? Like I said I can't access ROM manager or anything bc my screen is frozen

Does anyone know if this will be something that can or will be achieved?

Sucks for someone like me that used my HD2 to jailbreak my PS3 then ended up upgrading to the HD7. I backed up all my games to my PS3 and now I'll never be able to play them :(
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] root beer:
With the keys now public it's just a waiting game for the a game launcher/os to be released which shouldn't be too long.

I hope someone ports a useful web browser on the ps3 as the default one is terrible .
[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pistol44:
So correct me if I'm wrong. The current way (which remains unchanged) to play backups is still by having the usb device which was used to jailbreak to remain plugged in while booting the PS3. And with the keys being public this could potentially eliminate the need for this to be done??

[Nook Color General] webbstar842:
Not sure if anyone posted this, but I thought I saw someone mention the lack of apps in marketplace under top paid/top free, etc.

I noticed that when you switch to landscape, marketplace will then load the rest of the apps under each category (continuously, as you keep scrolling). Probably old news, but figured I'd throw that out in case there are others out there that were confused like me, considering it was my first time ever using droid marketplace
[Nook Color General] seeddemon:
new market

The old market will only display 10 apps and 1 app need to be off the screen to enable scrolling.

Download the new market from the post below. copy it to your SD card and use Astro file explorer to install it. The new market is made for tablets and you will not need to switch to landscape to scroll to more apps.

Open astro. Click menu. Click more. Click preferences. Check the box next to browser downloads.

Try again.

There are instructions in a thread in the Themes and Apps section.

It involves using adb but it's really no biggie.

[HD7 General] ThePhoenixUK:
Seriously doubt it at the moment as we have yet to "crack" the HD 7 or even WP7 for that matter and you would need full file control and whatnot to do what your after, that's why you could do it with the HD2 as that was fully cracked open.
[Defy General] qwerty121:
Hello,

I own Defy from week. Many times I tried to check via System Update in Settings if there is any update for my phone. After pressing "System updates"i can see info "Checking for available updates. Please wait..." and few seconds later window pop-up saying "Checking for updates is currently not available. Try again later"

For me it sounds like there is problem for mobile to connect with server with updates. Do you experience anything like this? If my firmware is up-to-date I would expect little bit different info.

Connection is established via WIFI, I tried check updates via GSM - the same effect.

Phone soft is not branded, no simlock, works in Polish Orange

Thank you in advance for any helpful suggestions

BTW

Is there any other way to perform update check? It seems not possible from PC but maybe I missed something.
[Defy General] psixda:
I agree, the answer isn't crystal clear, anyway I don't think there is any available update yet, not until android 2.2
[Defy General] qwerty121:
Thanks for answer. I'm not hoping to get Froyo quickly, rather update that will add missing Advanced Settings in camera options I mentioned in another post.

Regards
[Defy General] psixda:
Yes, I've seen the other post and I must admit that I'm curious too about the missing camera settings.
[Defy General] sarge78:
"Checking for updates is currently not available. Try again later" = Motorola's OTA server is down?
[Defy General] qwerty121:
I'm happy that I'm not the only one ;] In meantime I reset to factory settings to check if this will solve missing Advanced Settings in camera menu and System updates but it didn't help.
[Wildfire General] Hx00R:
Hello everyone ! :D

I'm a proud owner of an HTC Wildfire with Cyanogen 6.1.0 ROM.

But I have a problem, I don't think it's related to the rom because I had this problem before I flashed my phone.

So, no GPS software can get my position. (Copilot, OSMand...). i'm only using GPS, not aGPS.

I'm using "GPS test" from the market to see if any satelite is detected. And they are detected ! I get a good signal ! But...my GPS software keep saying that they can't get the position. I almost hear a laugh everytime.

Actuallty, it worked a couple of times before. Very randomly. I don't know why. But now...it never works...what's going on ?:eek:
[Wildfire General] Frank C:
Hello, had similar problem with some of the versions of Sygic, with other versions of Sygic it worked well. However Sygic kept crashing and therefor I removed them.

I recently installed Co-pilot 8.2.0.368 without problems.

Alternatively do a soft and hard reset (back-up all your data!).
[Wildfire General] Hx00R:
Well i'm already using Copilot. It doesn't work. And i've done an hard reset twice. It still doesn't work.
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
I use CoPilot as well.

Does your GPS Test indicate there is a 3Dfix?

Because there needs to be atleast 3-4 satellites with a sufficient signal available.
[Wildfire General] Hx00R:
Well, maybe that's the problem. GPS Test tells me that there are 7 Satellites in view but 0 in use and 0 in accuracy. I don't know if that's a clue.

Still, Everywhere I go, it's always the same. I've gone to places where I could manage to make it work once but it never worked again.
[Wildfire General] Hx00R:
Could a damaged SD card cause this ?
[Wildfire General] Frank C:
Apparently where you are located there are enough satellites but you get no fix. And since you tried various GPS apps without success it seems like a hardware issue (gps chipset). Would contact HTC service.
[Wildfire General] Hx00R:
Well it's fixed. I've reloaded a ROM manager backup and everything works now. I had already done that but it worked this time...I don't know why...

thanks for the help ! :)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrzl:
I've been kind of baffled at how terribly Android handles the file organization on SD cards. It seems totally crazy to me that it dumps everything into the root of the sd card, instead of putting all of the apps, folders, and temp files into a single parent folder (/sdcard/android/* for example). There has to be some way to deal with this, especially considering that Android OS it's a biproduct of a company who's entire business model is built around efficiency and streamlining information. :rolleyes:

So my question is this: does anyone have any idea how to deal with this? I've done some Googling but haven't really found much.

Thanks in advance!

(I'm rooted and running MIUI 12.11 on an ADR6300.)

*** er, organization ***
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SR3TLAW:
...

I too have wondered the same thing. The best thing I have found to do is reformat it and start from scratch. A lot of different programs seem to make their own folders. Coming from windows mobile where everything is organized via things like "programs files" sucks but id definenlty take android over all
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
agreed. i came from ios jailbreak world - even there things are more organized. best way to liken this is:

iphone = lexus - user friendly, everything works but it wont give you great thrills. even if you jailbreak it, virtually impossible to brick. there is always a way out.

android = mercedes - designed by engineers for engineers, a whole lotta fun if you know what you are doing but extremely inelegant UI or organization inside the guts. you can hurt yourself bad if you make a mistake i.e. brick it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SR3TLAW:
I like it.. Good analogy.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SethAC:
Reformatting? What kind of stuff sites that erase? I myself have been noticing the sd card is a bit messy, but it seems like reformatting would erase app data that us kinda important.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rvrzl:
Good analogy indeed.

That's kind of a bust though. I came from ios jailbreaking as well, and I had high hopes for a more cognitive file system from Android. Needless to say, I was more than let down.

I still feel like there has to be a setting or string of settings somewhere (at least on a binary level) that could be changed to send everything to mnt/sdcard/Android instead of just mnt/sdcard. Something has to tell it where the sd location is.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] khanam:
thanks guys! the people on these forums can be quite rabid about android and i was worried I might be told off. The truth is that despite the more chaotic way things happen in android I still prefer it to iOS. There is certainly more tinkering to be done in android and certainly a bigger unofficial dev community who can tweak it. However, one of my observations is that most android dev work here tends to be a lot more individualistic expressions (and funnily most of them are still quite similar) rather than concerted teamwork of the iphone dev team type barring a few exceptions - MIUI, cyanogen come to mind.

I wish the devs would collaborate with each other a lot more than they do. then there could be specialization on various aspects and we would truly see the advantages of open source code.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SR3TLAW:
I feel all of y'all. It really is the lesser of two evils; the file system. Give a little, get a little.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Hypcrsy:
I've formatted my SD card before without any dire consequences. As soon as I put the completely empty card back in that whole "preparing SD Card" message appears, and you get the typical android folders back in there. I did that because I've wiped my phone when flashing a new ROM and there were app folders on there for apps that I never put back on the phone. It was just part of my slight neurosis towards organization.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kebabdylan:
what I do is just ignore the root of the sdcard as much as possible. I have a directory in the root named my name( like "users/username") and I use astro and make that the default location. I have music, videos... folders there and that is where I keep all my stuff.

You could probably make symlinks from there out to your picture and download folders and never really have to leave it to get your stuff?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gigab0rt:
Smart solution. Thanks!!

Hi there!

I know this is an old thread but it just helped me, so I wanted to say thanks ^__^

Kebabdylan, smart idea. I just did it. Thanks a lot :)

Loved your analogies khanam :)

This is my first entry on xda, I've been using the forums for ages but never took the step to register since I'm just an amateur developer.

Please don't be rough at me! I'm a noob! :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wvcachi:
This apk is a slight mod on jerryfan2000's Button Saviour app (similar to softkeys). . . the only difference I made on his app is that the ever-present overlay icon (that you press to bring up the soft keys) is invisible.

So if you learn where it is on the screen, just touch there to bring up the keys--and you won't have to have an always-present arrow overlay sitting on your screen. It gives you the option to set it to launch on a long-press, in case you find yourself accidentally launching it.

If you have trouble finding it the first time (after all, it is invisible), just switch to the Sense theme, then back to default...

If you have trouble finding it on a regular basis ( harder than you might think) and your LCD density is set to 250 like mine, here's a setting that will make it easier:

1. Set it to come up on the right side (default)

2. Set "icon position" to 0

... This will give you an easy landmark to help you find the invisible launcher icon: the bottom of the volume down button on your nook. Look for that, then touch the edge of the screen next to it to launch button saviour.

If anyone has found useful landmarks for screens with LCD densities other than 250, please post and I'll update.

If you want to check this out, you'll have to uninstall Button Saviour (if you already have it) for it to successfully install.

If the button menu looks tiny, you might want to get the Spare Parts app and check the box for Compatibility Mode (then reboot). This should increase the size.

If you like it, please thank jerryfan2000 (his thread here), as the app is his creation--my contribution in making this mod was an idea and two blank png images.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] ColdH33t:
Is this file the same one as the site in your sig? I'm assuming thats your site b/c it has all of the info from your thread over in General.

But so you know if you change the Theme to Sense you can get the position of the button without having to play with the numbers.

Also on 0 it wasn't on the bottom of the Volume Down button. I'm gonna guess this is b/c your LCD density is 250 and mine is default but just FYI.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] wvcachi:
Good point on the LCD density - I'll edit.

Yeah, same file as the one on the site. :)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
I am using this now after switching many times. The visible button on Button Savior drove me nuts. The Softkeys button could be made transparent but it kept floating around so I never knew exactly where it was. But I got this one finally to my liking. I left it in the center on the right side. Easy to find in landscape mode because it is next to the hard home button. For portrait mode I put a very tiny piece of black tape next to the edge of the screen. This allows me to feel exactly where the button is. Works perfectly for me now. Thanks.

*settings are at 260 for the slider, LCD Density is set to 204. I used the Sense Theme of Button Saviour Mod to get the numbers to visually line up with the hard home button in landscape mode and to apply the black tape in portrait mode.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] jleecong:
Would it be possible to somehow map the hard home button to the "invisible" app to make the menu appear?

I love Button Savior 5, but it would be great if it appears when the hard home key is pressed. Even better if I could set it to bottom center of the screen in portrait! ;)
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] supersoulfly:
I don't think u can map Button Savior that way. You can mount Softkeys that way. Leave the Invisible button Savior installed. Also install Softkeys. Set Softkeys as your home launcher. In the Softkeys settings set the home launcher of your choice and set Softkeys to one home tap and your home launcher to double tap. You will also probabily want to "kill" the Soft keys floating button if u are running Button Savior along with it.

The only problem I can think of with that configuration is that when u hit the Button Savior Home button all u will be doing is opening up the Softkeys buttons unless u double tap it. U may want to set the Softkeys button to a double tap and your chosen launcher to a single tap to avoid that redundancy.
