On my phone, thin plastic piece around the usb port is cracked and i sometimes confuse that with the sliding usb door and tries to close it until i looked down to notice that it's not the door that i'm trying to close
[Captivate General] tdogz:
I've noticed this recently too (I've had mine since July). On mine, when holding the phone normally, if I push the cable toward the center of the phone and it comes loose. If I push it outward (toward the volume buttons), it doesn't really move.

If I open the usb door all the way, plug the cable in, then close the door *slightly*, it holds the cable a lot better. Not like it did when it was new though.

Has anyone diagnosed the cause of this yet?

What exactly did you do? I was a little hesitant to try bend anything - I didn't want to make things worse.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
Actually I do not recommend doing it this way until other means are available, remember, ruin your usb connection = your screwed.

But it's the sides of the usb connection I'm trying to tighten up. Where it forms / \

Mines so loose, that if I do a simple reboot and move the wires too much it will give me the: ! to android guy pic.
[Captivate General] MarlowXim:
If it's becoming loose its due to the plastic bezel around mini usb port. Eventually it will crack at where the door hinge has to pass through the part just before the door becomes secure when set to open position. Not sure if it's a plastic quality problem with a certain batch just order a replacement.

Secondly the usb cord supplied is not flexible at the handle for the miniusb connector. Flex it to much you will dislodge the data + - wires. Took it apart and inspected. You'll need to resolder to fix it.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
Thanks for that post :)

I have a question though: When you say order a replacement, do you mean a new phone or the little plastic bay that holds the charger?

I also bought this phone at launch, and I'm sure that means I am out of any kind of warranty.

UNLESS!

Is there a year warranty on hardware defects?
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
You're still under warranty (1 year). You'll have to deal with a AT&T DSC for replacement.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
So does that mean I should back up with Titanium Backup and flash back to stock?
[Captivate General] prayii:
cracks

My cappy has 2 tiny cracks on the top of it. One where you posted ( between the charging port and the back of the phone ) and another between the headphone jack and the back of the phone. They are so small no one would notice them unless looking. Returning the phone would be too much of a hassle for me ( I'm lazy ).

My idea was if the plastic began to chip or crack anywhere else I would just buy a bodyglove case and voila - no more cracks. And I didn't have to talk with an AT&Tard to fix it.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
If you actually have physical damage to your USB port to warrant a replacement phone, yes...I'd say flash back to stock.

If you're trying to address any problems you have with the USB slider door, I doubt they'll replace your phone. You'll probably have to have it sent in to Samsung for repair, and shipped back to you. Of course if your phone goes to Samsung, you had better flash stock.
[Captivate General] daleaf:
It's not the slider door. That is broken now too, but it isn't a problem for me. It is the USB cord won't stay in the charing port anymore. It is a bit of a hassle to wake up in the morning and my phone didn't charge.
[Captivate General] Xstop:
For each usb wire that I use, I am now gently crimping the top and bottom of the usb connector to get a tighter fit. DO THIS AT YOUR OWN RISK THOUGH

It seemed to help me to get a tighter fit and now I don't have to check if the sucker is charging or not.

But yea, I was at the point where it would not charge my phone if I did not get it right, sucks I know. :mad:
[Captivate General] vunuts:
^^^I also did that and it helps^^^

And, on the usb wires I use, there are little prongs, or tabs, that I gently pulled up with a tiny flathead screwdriver, actually a clean razor blade worked better... But I pulled those tabs up, and now I have a pretty snug fit.

And of course, do that at your own risk.
[Captivate General] Nnyan:
I started having this issue too where the lightest touch on the sides would bump it loose from the connector. In my case though I noticed that I did not have the door open completely all the way (yeah DUH). Once I pushed it completely open it fit much better.
[Captivate General] kennonk:
I have flashed a lot and my phone is repeatedly connected and disconnected from USB at my desk all day at work and my usb still fits snug. But about 2 weeks ago the little plastic sliding door started sticking as I was opening and closing it and yesterday it finally just fell out of my cappy. Bought on release day last July.
[Captivate General] Shammyh:
I had this problem too, but it was the cable, not the phone.

Got a new OEM cable off of Amazon, and now it's nice and snug. Maybe not 100% like new, but pretty close.

Because of the little metal hooks on them, Micro USB cables tend to wear out much faster than the Mini USB cables of old.
[Captivate General] kletiz:
I swapped mine out last week for another refurb (number two) because of this. It got to the point that I had to make sure the cable was in precisely the right spot otherwise out wouldn't charge.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate General] Rizz67:
I had the same exact issue a couple months ago. What I figured out what was the issue was using a non Samsung cord. More specifically, using a blackberry cord. It started to expand to the port, and then it got REAL serious. It starting pulling the port off the board. This lead me to have a repair shop re solder. This lasted for about a month before it started separating again. A downward spiral ensued. Long story short, after them frying my board, I had to get a replacement.

[Galaxy S I9000 Themes and Apps] Davidm65:
For weather widgets, I was a huge fan of Fancy Widgets home weather widget. But just because GoSMS was included in Darky's ROM, I went with that team's GOWeather just out of interest. And I love it. Much simpler (without calendar and clock features), but the UI is fantastic, especially with the innovative forecast videos and slide up forecasts. And the homsecreen widget is different but cool. Give it a whirl

Other thing i have PDAnet and when i connect it to the USB PDAnet finds the phone and says to connect or something like that. So i think that it can be recognized
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tragusman:
if it reconizes internal sd then copy every thing you need if it doesnt then you gunna lose it im afraid.

if the phone is in the debugging mode will i able to see the sd card in the my computer ?

You will lose all system data (applications, contacts, sms), but all your stuff like music that you copied over onto the sd card will stay intact.

To my knowledge there isn't any easy way to backup the system data, unfortunately :/

hey guys im 15 and just got an epic. i effing love it!.... :) only have one question so far. how do i change the lock screen...?
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
There are a few on the market, widget locker is good but its paid....lockbot is a good one that free
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
hmm i tryed lockbot but i dont know how t set the lock screen. also most of the reviews suck.
[Epic 4G General] Sh0wNuF:
I believe you have to open the app first, set your options and then it will work. The problem with any of the lockscreen replacements from the market is that they don't disable the stock one so from time to time you will have some issues. The only other way to change the lockscreen is to use the flashable aosp one in the dev section
[Epic 4G General] Kitteh298:
hmm seems i have a perdicament here... not really. waste post. yay!
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
If you root it and flash a rom, you can just flash the aosp lockscreen, which is theone from the nexus 1
[Epic 4G General] PokeAsheep:
I use goto lockscreen... works well, looks great, and found a recommend for it here on xda. Been using it for a bit now and love it.

[Hero, G2 Touch General] androguns:
Hi,

Posting a new thread since I could not find any thread that could address my issue. If there is one, pls point me to it.

I have a GSM Hero. I flashed Froydvillain 1.7.2 ROM on it. However, for some reasons, I want to go back to stock 2.1 HTC ROM.

After rooting the phone, I had created a backup with Nandroid. However, when I try to restore it using Nandroid, I get following msg -

.android_secure.img not found Skipping restore of applications on external storage', and then also something about skipping restore of /sd-ext

After this, it says restore complete.

When I reboot, I am stuck on the Airtel screen (HTC India). Can not go past it.

Can anybody tell a way to load stock 2.1 ROM?

Thanks in advance.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] derred:
I'm not sure, but it could be a missing file leading to a corrupted backup. If that is the case you can either get a stock 2.1 rom in zip form

(like this one for exemple http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=714075) or you could un-root by running a RUU (rom update utility) and remove the patched recovery image, in effect restoring your phone to factory condition.

There's a decent guide on how to do that here.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] androguns:
Hi,

Thanks for reply.

I actually prefer theunloackr.com method of unrooting. However, the problem is that since I am having a Froydvillain ROM, I can't use HTC Sync with it. So, can not use the RUU.

I think first installing the zipped generic OTA you mentioned and then using theunlockr.com method will do the thing for me. Isn't it?

Are there any other zipped RUU?

Thanks again
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mljjlm:
Just boot your phone into bootloader, plug it into your computer, and make sure it is on hboot-mode (it shows HBOOT on the screen) then go into Device Manager on Windows and look for "Android USB Devices" - if the device under there is named "My HTC" then everything is fine and you can start the RUU.exe, but if it's not you will have to update the driver with the one installed with HTC Sync (probably located in C:\Program Files\HTC\HTC Driver\Driver Files\(Your OS here)\ ) then it should be named "My HTC" and you should be able to go on :)
[Hero, G2 Touch General] androguns:
Hey...

**

I hope you can imagine the feeling of relief... :)

The Android USB device listed is indeed 'My Hero' so I hope it is completely safe to go ahead with RUU....

I have downloaded India RUU from some site...however can you tell me where can find authentic RUU?

Thanks again...
[Hero, G2 Touch General] bellor:
There has to be a thread with all the roms for the hero... including the official ruu. Also, you could try the xda wiki.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] mljjlm:
Is it Generic HTC or is it branded in any way? If it's branded you will find it at your carriers homepage (hopefully). If it's generic you will find it on htc.com
[Hero, G2 Touch General] derred:
I usually go here: http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero

They are all authentic and if one isn't compatible with your phone it should just say so (though the latest one with asia in the name should probably work).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] androguns:
Thanks

Hello all,

The issue is solved now.

I am back to the stock ROM.

I found that the method suggested by mljjlm worked perfectly for me.

The issue I faced was: Going back to stock HTC Hero 2.1 ROM from a rooted, Froydvillain 1.7.2 ROM

1. I had already downloaded appropriate RUU from following link -

http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=android&model=Hero

2. I followed confirmatory steps suggested by mljjlm in the post above

3. Just plugged in Hero to PC via USB cable, and ran the RUU. This pdf from HTC website tells more about running RUU (for a different device, but same procedure) http://www.htc.com/uploadedFiles/Co.../Touch_Detailed_RUU_Instructions_07152008.pdf

That's it.

Thanks all for help.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_other_ray:
I just rooted my incredible and I'm using the kernel that came with it stock. I disabled perflock and I left the max speed to 998 and the min speed to 245.

When I'm not doing anything on my incredible, I see that the speed constantly changes from the max to the min. Not even one second passes before it just goes back and forth, back and forth. Is this normal?

Coming from the d1 where it would stay at the min when idle, I'm not sure if what's going on with my incredible is normal.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Yes that's normal. For better battery life, I'd try a kernel with smartass governor. It spends more time on the lower frequencies.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20twins10:
Switching to a different kernel will give you the ability to overlook//underfoot the system needed.. this in turn increases battery life.. kingklick, ziggy's, chad's kernel are all well known kernels.. you will want to play with different kernels.. not every kernel will be stable to overlook to certain speeds on certain Rom's.. switching kernels is almost as addictive as switching roms.. always nandroid before flashing anything..

Yea! By stock i'm assuming all you did was root. I am currently running SkyRaider 3.5 Sense along with

I will edit with links to these two items.

SkyRaider 3.5 Sense - SkyRaider

Chad's Kernel - Incredikernel

My phone runs amazingly fast with sense but yet, even with heavy usage (Texting constantly, on the internet, gmail, even Fring) I can go an easy 24 hours on one charge. If my phone stays screen-off idle I could last at 95%-100% for several hours.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The_other_ray:
Yes, all I did was root.

Does the chad kernel provide wireless tether and will i still need to disable perflock in setcpu?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20twins10:
the non stock kernels all disable perflock already, you do not need to do it..

flash the kernel via clockwork, and you are set.. jump into setcpu and adjust some settings and add profiles.. you'll be golden..
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] adecker:
What he said ^^
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pons:
Not quite. I believe Lou's has some tweaks within perflock, so disabling it would lose those.

And most kernel devs, particularly Lou and the ones who use HAVS, advise against using SetCPU. I'd check with your chosen kernel thread for details.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mr. Rager:
Also, I wouldn't 'set on boot', at least till you find frequencies that your phone can handle safely. Otherwise, you'll get a 'crash' loop, where your phone starts up just fine, but once you go past the initial lockscreen it'll crash and reboot. Very annoying...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 20twins10:
what rager said... ive put on kernels and ran em high only to get a "boot loop".. its tuff to get out of cause you need to get back into setcpu to scale back otherwise it keep on going.... i learned to put the setcpu app icon on my main screen so i can get there fast to scale back..
