[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ekerbuddyeker:
Actually I didnt reboot...

and guess what, after an hour of seeing my captivate, I went into DL mode to run Odin FINALLY and all of a sudden it stopped recognizing the captivate. once again USB DEVICE NOT RECOGNIZED!!!

my issue isnt getitng ito DL mode, its getitng the PC to recognize my device.

anyone???
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
Sorry man, I am at a loss as to why your computer just up and stops recognizing the connection. I would back up your internal sd to your computer when you are/if able to get it to connect again and get a new one because something has to be defective with the phone.

Edit: You never answered one posters question about a different cable. Do you have one to try? Is the cable you are using the OEM Samsung?

Hey Guys,

I'm a Canadian Rogers phone user, and I've just flashed my phone's rom out for a new one, and now, whenever I receive an sms, it's about 5 hours behind. Through my snooping around, I've found that this is a common problem with Rogers and unofficial roms. I found a couple solutions, but they both apply to WM6.1, and do not work for my phone which is WM6.5.

I'm looking for the registry entry that I can switch, such as "TrustTimeZoneField" or "RecvTimeStamp" so that my phone won't trust the time given but rogers, and will instead use the phone time.

Anyone know where that registry entry would be, or possibly where I could create a new one that would?

Thanks
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonsence:
reg entry to use

this worked for me

TrustTimeZoneField

HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\PhoneSetting\

Add a dword key "TrustTimeZoneField" and give it a dword value of 0
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kurazz:
I've tried that, but it doesn't seem to work.

Are you using WM6.5?
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] nonsence:
yes

yeah using 6.5 energy rom
[Windows Mobile Development and Hacking General] kurazz:
I think I'll try a different rom, and then try what you did again. I can't stand how all the text messages get all out of order.

Thanks for replying.

Something fell off my shelf and feel directly on my phone earlier, cracked the screen to hell. Actual screen part is alright, but the glass is destroyed.

I have been looking for a few hours trying to find a place that has them in stock but to no avail. I am looking for a US or other North American based seller as I do not have the time to wait for a shipper from Hong Kong or elsewhere in Asia.

Does anybody know of a website or specific seller on eBay that is reputable or just has them in stock, any help at all would be very appreciated.

Thanks

I recently bought a screen for a friend's captivate from http://stores.ebay.com/sbstoreonline. The quality of the screen was the same as on my vibrant and the price was right ($62.99). I'm certain that what I bought was a Samsung part adn not a knockoff. The double sided sticky tape was applied to the back of the screen - all I had to do was peel off the plastic covering the tape and lay it down (I saw some adds that show a seperate adhesive kit).

Shipping took about 3 weeks...
[General Questions and Answers] Snazzz:
Hello all,

Now that I have a few days off before I go back to work for the new year thought I would find a project to keep me occupied.

I have what i believe to be a Dopod /HTC/ 838 Pro.

Thought I would upgrade it and maybe get a few more years out of it, since it has been sitting in my top drawer for the last two years ever since getting my Iphone. Had TomTom running on it as a navigation device, but the Iphone does it sooooo much better that I found I was not using the WinMo.

So in light of the above, any advice appreciated.

I live in Australia so a Rom specific to the region would be great, as I would like to upgrade from WM6 to ----> 6.1 with Touchflo or 6.5 if possible?? Is it ???:confused:

Ideally I am after the touchflo experience, I know its a whole buch of fancy graphics etc...but before I get flamed for being lazy and not looking etc thought I would see what your opinions are. (and yes I am being a tad lazy too) please no flames only constructive advice.

:rolleyes:

I have seen the WM6.1 touchflo installed on the phone on Youtube however could not find the Rom, having searched ..(possibly with the wrong words) but I did try.

Could you also suggest a failproof method of upgrade..

Starting with Hard-SPL_V7 if it is required ???

Any Help appreciated.

I just spoke to a Rep at the Verizon store in Humble, Texas named Isabel. She told me that she spoke to their Samsung Rep today and he told her that they are skipping the Froyo update and going straight to Gingerbread. No word on when though.:(

There phone number is 281-446-0415 if anyone would like to call and verify.

[Fascinate General] AlexDeGruven:
Devs working in Gingerbread is an entirely different animal than a release from the vendor.

I'd be REALLY surprised if they gave 2.2 a miss entirely.

Gingerbread is now confirmed to be a tablet operating system, it will not be on 'phones'

EDIT:

eek, definitely misspoke. I meant Honeycomb, and yeah, was far to tired to even be commenting on Gingerbread, sorry.
[Fascinate General] jiggaman508:
You're definitely thinking about honeycomb.....and if I'm not mistaken honeycomb will run on phones as well but is "optimized"for tablets...
[Fascinate General] micdawg12:
Yeah, GB is running on the Nexus S, so how can you say its for tablets only? You are definitely thinking of Honeycomb.
[Fascinate General] obededom:
yeah, and it was running on my Incredible :p

until I unrooted and gave it to my wife :)
[Fascinate General] orateam:
it would be a huge victory for Samsung to pass on froyo and release GB within the week. It would catapult them past HTC and motorola in the significance area of Android development. I think they need to do this if they want to regain lost respect.

Since Nexus S is galaxy S with GB on it already and is basically 99.9 the same as our phone, I definitely think it's doable. I would definitely prefer gingerbread. I want it just for the newer copy/paste feature.
[Fascinate General] Kamar234:
God man, all this misinformation. Let me clear it up for you. We are most likely NOT going to skip froyo (2.2). Gingerbread (2.3) has ALREADY BEEN RELEASED and it is on a phone called the Nexus S on T-Mobile USA. Honeycomb (2.4 or 3.0) is for tablets in its current form. Man, this getting ridiculous.

[Fascinate General] orateam:
nothing wrong with a good rumor here and there. relax folks. Geeesh.

Big cash cow online sites like espn 'insider' get big $$$ just to get rumors that never pan out. Tabloids make big money just for rumors.

[Fascinate General] cesium:
lol no. first off we are CDMA versus the GSM radio in the nexus s. and that is not a small little trivial difference. they are completely different technologies requiring completely different chips.

just look at windows phone 7. there's a reason it's taking them an extra 6 months to get the phones out on sprint and verizon
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:

[Fascinate General] adrynalyne:
Thing is, its not even a reasonable, much less good, rumor.
[Fascinate General] drnihili:
To be honest, I suspect most reps don't know the difference between froyo and gingerbread. At best they know there's an update, only the rare rep will be able to speak knowledgeably about what the update contains.

In this case I'm far more inclined to trust Samsung's own tweet which specifically states that a froyo update is in the works. With luck, we'll get 2.3 thereafter sooner rather than later, but I won't hold my breath. Honestly, I'm going to play with froyo for a month or so til the newness wears off and will probably then move on to developer releases of gingerbread.
[Fascinate General] Daswolven:
It's just kicking a dead horse. I actually do expect Froyo to roll out very soon, but to skip it for Gingerbread is everything but likely. :)

[Fascinate General] JaeKar99:
Given the coversation with the Verizon Sales Rep (please note 'Sales") - sitting in my office this week telling me with a straight face: "You will be seeing Gingerbread on your Fascinate."

Keep in mind this was halfway through a transaction of ~$2500.

Anything to solidify a deal... $$ makes people say/promise anything... Now about that Evo??
[Fascinate General] nitsuj17:
sales people know about as much as the guy on the street
[Fascinate General] obededom:
probably less

the guy on the street doesn't have the motivation of selling you a phone :)

for instance, my salesperson told me the Fascinate had 2.2 out of the box to which I corrected him. The store manager just looked at him in dismay
[Fascinate General] zachsx:
Too good!!
[Fascinate General] freeformlaw:
Not to be an ass but I was told the other day by a service technition that she could send me the 2.2 update to my phone to fix the issue for me.( knowing that she couldn't I played along) I spent an hour on the phone with her before she told me that she was wrong and I *****es her out. So any one that tells you anything at Verizon is bull ****ting or knows nothing. So just wait till Droid forums or xda tells you about it and work from there
[Fascinate General] SlyHusky:
Just my expirence...I know a lady from my church who is a Verizon rep.

She had the Moto droid X two weeks before the release...I asked her about the froyo update and she said that she nor any rep for that matter knows WHEN the froyo update will come out. If anything she said they would know the day before...

In any case I do not believe any rep would know, either Verizon nor Samsung.

[Fascinate General] toby1064:
If you really wanna have fun you go into the VZW store and play with the phones, then when they ask you if you need help you tell them you are comparing them with yours. Then you show them yours, it's hacked and much longer and stronger, they get sad and ask you how you did it, just tell them it was born that way.

Actually it's a lot of fun when you show them and they realize they know nothing about the phones.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
That may be fun, but I wouldn't dare do that in my Verizon store, for fear they'd call in the dogs on me. My Verizon store makes you sign in with your name at the door, so if I did that, I'd be scared that they'd look up my account and put notes on there that my warranty has been voided.

No thanks, I stay away from retail stores. I've never once had a billing issue on Verizon, and I certainly don't need to go in to have them show me how to use my phone. The only reason I'd go in one now is to check out a new phone in person.
[Fascinate General] Bwangster12:
So, obviously I'm SPECULATING here, I have no facts or info telling me such... but that is why I'm posting in the General section.

Could there be any meat on the bone regarding the fact that Froyo was leaked (from VZW/Samsung) and not officially released yet? Could this be a hint that Gingerbread is in fact going to be coming out for the Fascinate and Froyo was scrapped (officially)?
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
Doubtful. Leaks like this almost always happen when official updates are nearing release. The thing is, we've always known Froyo was coming to the Fascinate, but there is not one shred of evidence to support the theory that they're skipping Froyo and going right to Gingerbread, or even that Gingerbread will ever be officially released for the Fascinate or any of the Galaxy S phones. Or at least, if there is, I haven't seen it yet. No leaked builds, no leaked Verizon documentation, no here-then-gone pages on the Verizon or Samsung websites, no nothing. It's pure speculation and rumor right now.

Again, I don't think any Android phone, aside from maybe the Nexus One (official Google phone), has ever gotten more than one officially supported OS upgrade before it becomes EOL and they drop support for it, so I have very strong doubts that Samsung will ever release it. I can't say I blame OEMs for not wanting to make lots of upgrades anyway, because all the time spent coding/testing/carrier testing/etc. has practically zero return on the investment, since they do not charge for the upgrades. That's why I'm glad we have XDA devs, who are willing to work for donations.
[Fascinate General] Bwangster12:
What have I seen over the last few days about the Droid X might be getting Gingerbread? Also, wasn't there that article on AndroidCentral.com speculating what phones are getting GB.
[Fascinate General] Lodingi:
I guess Isabel was wrong.
[Fascinate General] ivorycruncher:
I'm not saying no phone won't ever get more than one OS update, just that historically it has not really happened. That may change going forward, I'm just saying don't hold your breath on it.

The hole "sales reps are idiots" tends to be a little more true then I'd like to admit. Thankfully, it's what keeps me busy at work, I'm sales rep/tech guy/tech trainer. More importantly though, getting info from a sales rep very typically amounts to a hill of beans. I've had many times where I've been in a training and told my account manger about things that they had not even been told about yet. Thanks to the wonderful world wide intraweb! Info does not trickle down as fast, or as much, as one would think or hope. With competition being a lot closer and tighter compared to a year or two ago. The people who are in the know, don't share that info nearly as fast or as much as they use to. Otherwise one company might be able to one-up another before they even release something.

g'day in the last month i'm randomly experiencing a problem during phone calls.

my phone seems to reboot while i'm on a call :confused:

i'm running

Android 2.2

i've also wanted to root my desire but been a bit worried about doing it as i only done it once before with my wife's hero.

can someone lead/guide me through a good basic (noob) step by step ROOT for my android please & whats a good custom rom to use ?

also another problem i'm having is my desire keeps telling me i'm running out of room in memory ?

i keep deleting apps but i'm eventually going to have none left on it. compared to my wife's custom hero she has 2 x as much & no problems ?

i have used apps to SD & saved all i can on my 16GB SD card

cheers: brett
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AndroHero:
do you use any kind of case on your desire? the two main reasons for devices rebooting are:

1) overheating, just like a laptop, the device will reboot itself if the cpu reaches a certain temp for a certain amount of time .....

2) Faulty mainboard, this was a big problem with older desires, but htc addressed the problem so it shouldnt happen with newer desires.
