Not to point out the obvious, but you do realize that the AUX port is multi-volumed.....right?

You turn up the volume on your handset AND you turn up the volume on your car stereo.

From what I've read, it appears you should turn your "media volume" up to 50-80% and leave it there, then use your car stereo volume button to alter the overall volume.

If it's still not loud enough from there, either you have a short or something is up with your output.

Your ears should be bleeding.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vafifty4:
Yea, I turn the volume up all the way on my phone whenever I plug it in. It was the same way when I used my iPod Touch.
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
Can someone ttell me how to save all my contacts to my sd card so for whenever I switch roms? Or can I also do this on titanium backup?
[G2 and Desire Z General] Sv3nt3k:
Is there something wrong with using your google mail account for your contacts? That's how I did it when I tried out different ROMs. So you don't have to have the issue with saving it and restoring it. All you'd have to do is sync your phone with your google mail account.
[G2 and Desire Z General] joemm:
Yes you can do it with Titanium backup.
[G2 and Desire Z General] zkid2010:
+1 what's wrong with Google contacts??
[G2 and Desire Z General] kingvaj23:
Everytime I save them and sync and get a new rom I no longer have those contacts but I just backed up everything with titanium
[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Make sure your contacts are being created under your mail account and not on phone storage.
[G2 and Desire Z General] androidcues:
+5 on wtf is wrong with google?

however... as a criminal throttler (according to tmobile) if I want to flash a rom after a wipe and I am not near wifi my only alternative is to manually restore ****. Why? Because resyncing a **** load of data back to my phone while throttled makes me want to eat my phone in front of a tmobile rep. infuritating! (Its like driving a WWII era moped on the expressway)

but thats one reason why i sometimes need to avoid the gumminess of google. because it pisses off tmobile.
[G2 and Desire Z General] ianmcquinn:
Another reason some people may not use Google for all of their syncing is if they use Google for personal contacts, but still have business/miscellaneous contacts (and their business does not use something like Google or MS Exchange that they can set up a sync for).

Granted, they could set up another Google account for the business ones, but maybe it's not allowed due to corporate IT policy or something. Everyone's usage model is different...
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] carlsbad0331:
Here is the set up that I created for my SGP.

I picked up the Incipio 2 piece hard/soft case from the T-Mo dealer, installed Ghost Armor on the screen and use a waterproof and pressure released hard shell case with foam interior for it.

The case also houses my Cygnett BT wireless keyboard and power supply/USB cable.

Works very well for me. I just wish there was a car dock available that would allow the use of the case that I have.
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] natious:
Cool, but why would possibly need that much protection? Where the hell do you travel to? lol

Are you using the tab as a primary device, if so, is that case too bulky?
[Galaxy Tab Accessories] carlsbad0331:
Well lets see, my travel list for the next three months includes, but is not limited to:

Los Angeles

Washington DC

Arlington VA / Norfolk VA

New York

Kabul, Afghanistan

Jalalabad, Afghanistan

Kandahar, Afghanistan

And quite possibly a few other even more exotic locations

Lets just say I dont carry it to the office with me, and its not my primary device. I have my MBP, My G2 and my Iridium 9555.

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] csy7550:
I've got the same problem. Searched google and theres like 2mill hits, but no real answer. Worked perfectly, but suddenly it started giving me the county's name instead of my town, which isn't very accurate since it's like 300 miles in each direction :p It's the same in official stock rom, custom rom and even android (sense, cm, etc) GPS workes fine tough.. google maps locates the cell tower I'm connected to in no time.

What can I do to enable successful downloading from the browser? An example would be downloading attachments from my yahoo account or downloading files directly from xda_developers. Please help.

Thanks,

I had the same problem with the stock browser, downloading works well with dolphinHD though... maybe switch to a different browser?
[G Tablet General] wittmer25:
Your right. I downloaded a file download app and dolphin hd browser app. Using the dolphin browser, I have been able to download attachments and random file types that are linked on webpages. I may not have even needed the file download app.

I have always had that problem with stock browser.....I think everyone does .....the question needs to be, who CAN download attachments with stock browser.
[Defy General] linel90:
Hello,

Anyway of changing the top bar where the time battery and signal notifications are from silver/grey to black?

Loving the phone >)

Thanks
[Defy General] jjp84:
There is, but go to the "Themes/Apps" subject thread under Defy. You may also check out the "Android development" title, the different ROMS and thmes all have a little something you might be looking for.
[Defy General] add.thebad:
you will have to flash a framework or theme through recovery
[Defy General] jjp84:
Were you able to find it?
[Defy General] Kovyrshin:
right here
[Defy General] linel90:
thanks for all the replies, I dont want to change the whole theme tho just the top bar without having to alter any of my other changes,
[Defy General] Jt612:
it does change other stuff you have to make your own if you only want the status bar to change.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
question asked quite a while ago, but in case you're still looking for this or someone else wonders about it also... here's what I use and suggest:

On this post: http://xdaforums.com/archive/index.php/t-923360.html

you can find this:

DarkBar Patch : adlxmod-Defy-Froyo-DarkBarOnly.1-signed.zip

http://www.mediafire.com/?hoiaf7d4na80jl6

It only changes the status bar to a 'blackish' look.

It's not pefect beacause the time display font hasn't been changed to white - but the rest looks ok.

To install this, you'll first need to have root access for your phone and Clockworkmod (CWM) recovery installed.

Then you use CWM to re-boot in recovery mode and then chose the update option and select the .zip file placed on the root directory of your SD card

[I didn't wipe or clear cache] reboot and it's done!
[Defy General] alfchin:
you need to modify frameworks.apk&service.jar yourself
[Defy General] drakeM:
be carefull, me too tried to mod the framework to change the lockscreen (following a guide) and the result was bootloop.
[Defy General] SiL3nTKiLL:
im looking to know this too!
[Defy General] drakeM:
however, if you go into the dev section, there is a rom by iaio72 called s.froyo CEE, it have a theme with a black statusbar like gingerbread, you could try it.
[Defy General] [] AL []:
I still beleive that the method I've mentioned at post #8 is easier than flashing a whole ROM...
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] kjjb0204:
Droid Pro is so new and not widely adopted (yet) and I'm having an issue and can't find a resolution. I'm thinking some of you original Droid users are pretty advanced and might know. The home row keys' haptic feedback can't be turned off - it's a bug that is affecting every DPro user.

Wondering if anyone might know where the system file for haptic feedback instructions might be so I can try root explorer to somehow get the haptic feedback on home row keys turned off, or if the haptic action is even handled via a file I could alter. I tried searching for the issue on the Droid and D2 forums, but didn't find it. Already used root explorer to remove the droid boot sound and camera shutter sound. Not sure if haptic can be altered in a similar manner since it's an action and not an audio file.

Thanks

So my power button stopped working... even after recovered and even in the recovery utility itself.. Im going to take it to sprint.. anyone know if this is gonna cost me the 100 dollar deductible?.. or will it just be replaced?.. the phone itself is still in perfect condition.
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
That's a hardware defect, and is covered under the one year warranty. They should fix it for free. If they try to deny you, talk to a manager and tell them it's covered under the warranty.
[EVO 4G General] tomh1979:
might be a problem if he's rooted, unless he can unroot, which at this point would be impossible since he won't be able to flash s-on if it's currently set at s-off, but that's just a guess, though he could still run a RUU causing to loose root access, but would not fix it from being s-off.

Good luck though.
[EVO 4G General] computerjunkie:
I had this problem. start tapping it. eventually it will work. don't press too hard. Just keep pressing it.

Also, if you're going to unroot, make sure you give it a few seconds after you press it to see if it picked up the press. you don't want to accidentally press the wrong button.

Same thing happened to me. I just threw a stock ruu on it and took it in yesterday. My replacement should be here tomorrow or Wednesday.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] insaneturbo13:
are you thinking up papi jump?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j101399j:
Describe the game; as there are many jump games on the market. Is it s cow jumping, a ball that jumps over holes or a little wierd guy in a jet pack? And which direction do you jump?

Also a word to the wise, asking for someone to post a link to download an app is called app trading and can get you and the poster banned, just my $0.02. No harm in asking for the name though...
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
If it is a free game it is not warez. If it is paid then yes warez is against XDA rules.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j101399j:
If you are asking about the game called The Impossible Game where you are an orange box that jumps over things, then you are asking for a paid game; which, as you pointed out, is against the rules. Unless you are refering to a different game?

Please understand, I was not trying to start anything and I'm not a mod; so I'm not going argue the rules. That part of my post was just a heads up to protect you and others. I want to keep everyone safe and I don't want to see you or anyone else kicked off xda for gray area post. Free apps are a gray area, it is better to be safe than sorry. Since I joined over 2 years and 1000 posts ago, I have seen many members get kicked for posting links for paid AND free apps/programs;anyways back to the subject at hand, are you asking about the game in this youtube video?http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4XTKzMUAonw
[Captivate Themes and Apps] flashman2002:
I have no idea what game he is talking about. I was just pointing out if it was a free game there is no issue. We are on the same page, just talking in different terms.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] j101399j:
Opps, I mixed your post with he OP's original question (bad brainfart); which expains why my last post did not make sense, I am really sorry about that. And thank you for clairifaction

Excellent review
[Captivate Accessories] nappent:
I'm assuming that 2700mV is the min voltage required for the phone to run, correct? If so, where did you find that information?
[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
2700mV is fully drained battery. At that point your phone will not turn on without plugging the charger. There plenty of reference material on the web that point to this number. Here is wiki:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lithium-ion_battery

To put together my tester I used following design, with some of my own modifications. It also references 2700mV

http://www.instructables.com/id/Arduino-True-Battery-Capacity-Tester-Li-IonNiMH/

Now, if you look at the data in .xls file, notice that the battery outputs only 3mah as the voltage drops from 3000mV to 2700mV. This is the same in china1800 and samsung1500. So, it might be worth while to modify my rig to stop the test at 3000mV.
[Captivate Accessories] evoic:
This is such good information.

Thank you VERY much for taking your time to write up a detailed result from testing each battery.

Looking forward to your verdict on the 1900mAH.

Thanked the original threaded. Much deserved.
[Captivate Accessories] xaudiblex:
I read in one of the threads that the first 2 or 3 discharges were really bad but after there the battery began performing better.

did your run this test on a brand new one or one that has been cycled a few times?
[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
Cycling of the new Li-ion battery has no effect on the battery capacity, therefore it has no effect on my tester. When new battery is discharged/re-charged couple of times circuitry within the phone learns about the true battery capacity and device battery life improves. Here more info on that

http://batteryuniversity.com/index.php/learn/article/charging_lithium_ion_batteries

I used 1800mah Chinese battery for one month, at which point I really wanted to validate the capacity claims and so I did the research.
[Captivate Accessories] lokhor:
Awesome work. can you test some of the claimed 3000mah and 3500mah extended batteries?

Also not sure if you have heard about the SGS Armani that supposedly comes with a 1650mah battery stock.

[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
lokhor: I believe this Armani battery is the one to watch. The only rating's claim that seem to connect to reality is Samsung's OEM.

1900mah battery is in the mail. Should be testing it in a week or two
[Captivate Accessories] javicoder:
Heh, my 1900 mAh is in the mail too. We'll see, though I do not keep any hope, really.
[Captivate Accessories] nappent:
So this is not actually based off of specs from Samsung saying that our Captivate phone need X amount for the system to run. Keep in mind that I'm wanting to know what is the minimum amount of voltage for the phone to keep operating rather then for a phone to turn. People want to know how long a battery is going to last from 100% until the phone's internal system forces it to shut down. Its good you are doing these test but we can't really say for certainty that either battery is good or not. Let keep in mind for every one doing tests like this you really need to take and test more then just one battery for each brand. Each manufacture is going to produce bad batteries in every batch... which is very easy to do if you look over the process of producing a Lithium-Ion battery. One mistake and the battery can easily fall below the intended specifications. It just depend if the manufacture is going to catch those bad batteries or not. OEM batteries likely have a lower chance of a bad or low performing battery to be release because Samsung likely requires more testing of each battery or batch of batteries. I can't say that for 100% certainty.

I've by no mean want to test batteries to the degree I recommend above as I really don't have the time or resources to do it. On the other had I've been using the 1800mAh battery for over 2 weeks now and it works at least 10hours longer (40-50 hours total) then my OEM battery (30-40 hours). So does that mean my OEM battery is bad or is it that the 1800mAh battery is just better as the sellers claim? We won't really know because we haven't done any extensive testing. Let just not jump the gun too quickly because one battery was tested.

I don't mean to be a jerk or anything... just my $0.02. And just for the record, I am no way promoting to buy a aftermarket/extended battery... Honestly you really should stick with a OEM battery as it has the lowest possibility of causing damage to your phone.
[Captivate Accessories] slvr00gt:
I would really like to keep this thread free from comments such as "My phone lasted this much longer" It is hearsay. It doesn't really help much and discussed to death in other threads.

On the other hand, I was waiting for somebody to bring up sample size. It is a valid point. I only tested one battery. So, if you believe your battery lasts longer and you want to help out, send it to me and I will test it! If you include self-addressed and stamped envelop, I will send the battery back to you after test is done. PM me for more details
[Captivate Accessories] sjavvaji:
i think that might be the issue here...but i honestly think that this battery can be good...if 5ish people are getting these results...im thinking there might be something quirky making it better (ITS MAGIC!!) jkjk...i might get one to put in my 2 cents
[Captivate Accessories] prayread:
No offense but chinese quality control is a joke. It's like a lottery.

No doubt in my mind the value (performance/cost) is still better than OEM. Please don't expect the miracle that the capacity is as advertised. Just use it as a emergency/backup battery and be happy.
[Captivate Accessories] Dani897:
I think there might be a quality control issue here because I am having excellent results with the chinese battery.

I can't wait for the 1900mah test. I found that battery after I placed the order for the 1800.

Thats almost 27% claimed over stock. That would be a significant increase if its true.

[Captivate Accessories] gohaha:
thanks. Your study is the most scientific one so far, speaking from my science and engineering background. Somehow I still believe recycling a branding new battery or one that not been used for long time 2-3 times will stablize the capacity.
