Yeah, it's really just as easy as following the steps. If the Cappy is fairly new it seems it won't have the issues that plagued the earlier runs of this phone so just pick a ROM and go for it.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hwoarang747:
hello. ive looked around the forums and havent found anything like my problem. My problem is that whenever i receive an mms, usually a picture, it becomes a video with a cation. like my friend today sent me a picture of his new skateboard and when i opened the messanging app, it shows the little video playback button, you know the little sideways triangle in a box, over a thumbnail of the picture. when i click it has a picture of the skateboard, it is a five second video of the picture that takes up a 1/4 of the screen in the top left corner with a black background and his message under the picture. then the "video" ends and takes me back to the menu of the messanging app. oh, and you cant interact with it like a picture, so no zooming in or panning. this happens with every picture and is becoming really annoying. any help appreciated! thanks!

ps: im on a tmo g2 on tmobile
[G2 and Desire Z General] willham:
Same thing happens to me. I don't think there's anything we can do about it though.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hwoarang747:
Maybe there's an alternateive messaging app?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hwoarang747:
Because I usually end up asking the sender to email it so I can view either the pic, sound file, video, etc.
[G2 and Desire Z General] tronmech:
You're going to love this. Long tap on the "text" of that message. You should see an option "save attached to SD card." That option will save the pic to /sdcard/download. And the gallery app will pick that right up.
[G2 and Desire Z General] Hwoarang747:
Thanks! Its allot better than some "side show". Just wish you could view it straight from the messaging app instead of saving it but ill live, thanks! But is mine the only one that does the video thing?
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
Continuing this solved thread, I have another bug-like event:

when I send an MMS the messaging app "slows down". A lot. It takes 4-6 second for the app to open, typing letters are VERY slow.

I have to kill the messaging app and the it works fine again.

anyone else having this?
[G2 and Desire Z General] KCRic:
It's happened to me before. It seems it has more to do with the gallery, 3D gallery to be specific.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zirra:
I'm using gingerbread (cyanogen 7.0 RC1) and I think gingerbread addresses this issue and displays it correctly unlike froyo.
[G2 and Desire Z General] moolash:
MMS bug

I don't have a 3D gallery, so that shouldn't be the case.

After sending an MMS, it slows down my messaging app, I have to kill it, then it is good again.

I tried attaching a pic from a message, I have also tried tapping on a picture and share it as MMS, same thing happens.

I have round 1,200 contacts on my exchange server

For quite a number of friends I saved only the first name. And this @&%^# contact app from Samsung joins all the people who have the same first name (When nop last name is saved). How convenient...

I "could" go trough all my contacts and split them. But it's slow. And every time I flash a new ROM and charge my contacts through exchange they get agregated again

Is there a settting somewhere where we can prevent the application from merging contacts ? Or if keeps on doing so, is it possible to have it save the fact you split the contacts somewhere on my exchnage account (So that it doesn't do it again the next time I reload everything...)

Or maybe some of you have already settled for another Contact manager app

It's super annoying
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Anyone?
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] kromosto:
dont know the answer but writing this to wish you luck i have 120 contacts and it was a real pain to put it in order 1200 contacts i cant imagine
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] knightnz:
Isn't it confusing anyway having multiple contacts with the exact same name? How do you know which is which?

I make sure all my contacts have either a last name, or some differentiating text at least.

There's no way to stop the app doing it automatically, the only options are to either clean up your contact entries at the GMail end, or use a different contacts app.
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
I use exchange but yeah I get what you mean by "clean up your contact entries at the GMail end"

How do I differentiate ? The good stuff with smartphone sis we can include pictures... Same first name different picture --> fastest way to differentiate for me. However the stupid app merges the contacts and put the pic of the first contact --> I am lost

Honestly, not having the option is a shame. That's a bad application. At the very least it should allow you to choose to merge automatically or not. At best it should leave you the choice of the aggregation key (Which filelds make a contact unique)

That sucks badly... very poor level of programming...
[Galaxy Tab Themes and Apps] Alcibiade:
Actually i was wrong. This crappy piece of software also sometimes joins contacts that have a last name... I don't know what to say. I don't understand why there is no option to decide the key of oining contacts (Or simply disable it...)

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
Hi Guys,

I have run into a strange issue where Google and searching this forum is not proving helpful.

I am trying to unroot using Unrevoked 3.3 reflash tool. I have Android 2.1 Update 1, so basically the stock build from the summer of this year.

I have hboot drivers installed

HTC Sync Uninstalled

USB Debugging Enabled

Running As Administrator

When I run the process with Unrevoked, it basically pushes the Recovery, goes into recovery, says it's waiting for a bunch of stuff, then waiting for reboot, my phone starts rebooting. It says something like, Still waiting, waiting for system to settle, and basically, the moment my phone comes back on, Unrevoked just says (very briefly, "Starting root" and Immediately switches to):

Internal erorr: am reported error starting service.

That's it, that's where it all ends, nothing further happens to my phone or in the App.

Can anyone please tell me what's going on? What am I doing wrong, am I using the right tool and etc?

Sorry for my ignorant questions, I have been an EVO guy, just coming to Inc.

Any help is much appreciated. Thank you guys in advance for your help!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug piston:
Think you might have to upgrade to 2.2. But I would try #unrevokedtest on freenode first.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ProFragger:
That did the trick, thanks doug :D!!!
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jabuzan:
I also had this problem, but a different solution - which might be helpful for other people happening upon this thread...

I think this happened because I changed the default install location for apps to sd card. I suspect this causes the unrevoked service (called "zyspkloit") to be installed to SD. As the SD card is unavailable immediately after boot, the service is unable to start.

The solution that worked for me:

1. Set your default app install location to "phone"

2. Use "manage applications" to uninstall "zyspkloit"

3. Re-run unrevoked

:D
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhanna:
Same issue here

Hi,

I am seeing this same issue, but do not understand the reference to #Unrevokedtest on freenode. Regarding the second suggestion I'm not sure where to go to check the default for installing applications, but did delete it and try again without success. My device is the HTC Aria running with that recent 2.1 upgrade. Any additional information would be appreciated.

Thanks !

Louis
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhanna:
Now looking for unrevoked 3.21

Hi,

I actually managed to make sense of the #unrevokedtest, but the recommendation there was that I needed an older version of unrevoked, specifically 3.21. Unfortunately they couldn't find a copy, does anyone here have that version for me to try?

Thanks !

Louis
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lhanna:
v3.21 found and all is well

Hi,

Found a copy of 3.21 after several Google searches, worked like a champ.

Thanks,

Had the same problem with Unrevoked3.31

Using 3.21 did the job !

[Captivate General] realsjn:
the same thing happens to me last week.

and in my country,if you flash the phone,you can't get their warranty anymore:mad:
[Captivate General] GAMacky:
In most countries and just about all manufacturers will void warranty if the product is tampered with, and that includes flashing rom's. The key is to not to tell them you flashed rom's on the phone. The OP simply told AT&T that the phone can't be connected to PC's via USB. As long as the reps and techs can't tell the rom has been flashed, you shouldn't have any problem getting your phone repaired. However, now that you have told them or if they figured out you have flashed your phone, then it might go in to their database and void the warranty for that device indefinitely.

Can you delete a rom off your sd card after youve installed said rom and done a nandroid backup? will that backup still bootup and run correctly
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
If you talking about the actual ROM zip file then yes you can delete it. If you are talking about deleting other Nandroid backups yes you can. Just make sure you don't delete the most recent nand backup.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrewington75:
thank you sir
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
I usually like to keep my ROM on my SD card so if something goes wrong, at least I have it. The only time this practice has ever been useful was when I flashed Amon Ra and tried to flash a new ROM. Went into bootloops and found out the hard way that Clockwork nand backups don't work with Amon Ra. Because I had my ROM, I fixed it easily.

Just my two cents. Nandroids usually do the trick, though.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bizdady:
I usually keep 2 nand backups on my SD card 1 stock sense and 1 of my current rom. If I have any other roms Ill just save them to my pc to keep room in the sd card clear.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cbrewington75:
finding this out now flashed amon ra 1.8 and doesnt see any downloaded roms on sd card, rebooted phone and i have no service. working off wifi only, rom manager is gone and I cant access the market to download ,any ideas

"the process com.android.phone has stopped"
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
Do you have Rom Manager? If so you can try flashing ClockworkMod...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] generalExpert:
Sorry, just reread your post...
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gqstatus0685:
Place the ROM on the root of your SD card. It must not be in your download folder.

I learned my lesson today and will always keep a zip of a rom on my card. The latest version of clockwork was a bust. I couldn't use my phone for almost 2 days. Thank god I fixed it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheMagicalSock:
This is why I keep my ROM on my SD card. Glad you fixed it, man.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacothebandit:
OK. so what happens if you are running beliEVO and then flash Cyanogen. Can you restore a backup from a previous ROM without bricking the device? And if you can will app data be there?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigmoogle:
If you had done a nandroid backup of the beliEVO rom before flashingCyanogen rom, then yes, your can restore the backup and all the apps will be there.

But it's always a good thing to backup the apps before flashing a new rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pacothebandit:
Awesome. Same rules apply if it was not specifically a Nandroid? I used ROM manager prior to flashing Cyanogen.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] josh995:
This is a helpful thread, i was also wondering this...

I have a question, can I rename my nandroid backups on my SD card so I know which backups are which?

Also, sorry to sorta hijack your thread, but I backup my apps with mybackup, and data with titanium, but how do I restore that info if/when I flash a new rom? I'm using cm6 and loving it but would like to try more... thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NewZJ:
yes, you can rename backups for both RA and CWM backups, I've has issues with putting spaces in the names though so use _ or -

I bought a DX earlier this week. It was updated to system 2.3.340 before i left the store. I also have a D2 and experience flashing ROMs and SBFing. What is puzzling me here is that no matter what ROM I install i get random reboots. This happens no matter what apps, activities, etc... i am doing, even when just idle, i will look down and phone is rebooting. I haven't tried SBFing the DX yet because i can't find a clear answer on how i need to do it. I know that a full .340 SBF does not exist yet. I have a full .32 SBF file and a system only .340 file. I am assuming that i would flash the .32 full, then the .340, or could i just flash the .32 and then let the phone update the factory way to .340? I am getting this reboot problem with Rubix 1.9.5, Fission 2.4.3, and GummyJar 2.5. Any advice, input, or help would be greatly appreciated. THanks in asvance.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
try here http://rootzwiki.com/index.php/Smartphones/Motorola/Droid-X/Droid-X.html#comment220 scroll down towards the end (idk if you use windows or linux but the linux method of sbf'ing is alot easier ive used both) except in their directions it says an older sbf file just insert the one you have, then go here http://www.mydroidworld.com/forums/...ystem-baseband-2-3-340-kernel-bootloader.html to download these zip files for kernel updater, 340 system update your baseband and bootloader should already be the correct ones, (i recently bought my X too) then once you finally root your newly sbf'd X and installed droid x bootstrap etc and get into clockwork mod recovery you can flash those 2 zips (recommend flashing only one at a time, reboot, and do the next) and then you should be updated to full .340

[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Thanks for the quick replies. Gonna try your suggestion tonight or tomorrow. Now i get random lock ups followed by a boot after about five minutes. The only upside right now is that its 4 days old so if i can get some resemblance of factory back on it then i can just exchange it :) Thanks again will report back with results.

And also by "insert the file you have", i assume you mean the file i have that is VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_01.sbf is the file i need to use in RSD Lite, then update the other files with clockwork recovery?

Thanks again.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
correct tho the one i used had was labeled VRZ_MB810_2.3.32_1FF_01.sbf
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
I guess the one i got is ok? it came from the TBH app from the market? I would like to get ahold of the one you got too if thats possible, since you know that file works.

LOL i am a dumbass, left the FF part out for somereason, thats the exact file name i have. Thanks again.\

Edit- Just tried this, i don't know whats wrong but it has the start button in RSD Lite greyed out when i select the file, its the exact one listed above. Gonna try same file from different locations
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Ok, so now i am starting to worry. Tried 3 different .320 full sbf's. All the same result. Failed process close to the begging. Then on the phone it says

Critical Error

FEBE

0047

Please Helppppp. I don't need a really expensive paperweight, all i need to do is get it so that GummyJar doesn't show on boot and i can take it back, its brand new.
[Droid X General] Mr1070:
Try removing the battery. Then boot into recovery (volume down + power) then do a factory reset/restore.
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Tried that, i finally got it to flash, i had the phone in the desk dock, didn't think about it. Once i plugged it into the usb cable direct everything went fine(so far). Also i noticed that with this phone and my wifes D2, i have to put a (1) at the end of the sbf file name to get RSD Lite to use it, otherwise the start button stays greyed out. THanks for the replies and help, will post again if there are any more problems.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
ive heard there are several problems with rsd lol thats why ive stuck with my ubuntu/Linux its 10x easier
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
i also believe you DO have to have it all in specific locations but idk i use linux to do it, if you continue to play with the X after u get new one i would read up on how to dual boot ubuntu its a whole lot easier once you find ur way around i have it booting off of a 1TB external hard drive no need to install the correct moto drives etc..just plain easy lol
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Finally total success!!!! Flashed .320 Full SBF, then used the Kernel and System updates you referenced and bam, back to stock. Now i feel better about ROM flashing, cause i can recover from most anything with this process. THanks again for your help and info.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
it only takes once correctly doing it to feel comfortable lol also make sure using droid x bootstrap recovery make sure to tap the first choice and let it do its thing, otherwise it will constantly reboot to recovery EVERY time you turn it back on
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
Well... the SBF and updating where successful. But even after the SBF, SD Card Formating(Long format in windows, then 3 times on phone to be sure), clean install and download of all Fission stuff i normally use, still get random reboots. Gonna SBF again and try Rubix and see how that goes. If it still has problems too, i may SBF again and go to the store and return phone for a new one.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
try something blurless like darkslide, which im currently running, no random reboots
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
LOL funny you should mention, thats what i actually decided to go with instead. It really looks great, seems to be seemless too. Since you use it maybe you could tell me... Can you overclock? I downloaded the blurless version from their link and it has the blur alarm clock and a few others? is this right or is something wrong with the link? Thanks again.
[Droid X General] Funnyface19:
Well I haven't overclocked yet anyway the phone gets hot enuf lol plus coming from an Eris 1k is fast lol

Um yeah it should be wright depends on what the blur clock looks like lol
[Droid X General] willjohnson:
I looked back at there post in another forum and it actually says that they added a few Blur parts in the blurless rom. I guess some blur things just work better.

yeah but the obsidian rom is completely blurless just not everything working

I'm not sure what they will do... I haven't had to return a phone to VZW in a while. I'm sure that they take into account the fact that some returned phones will have cosmetic wear and tear.
