[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] modest_mandroid:
The SGS Unlock tool from the market won't work on Froyo, as far as I know (I haven't bothered checking to see if it has been updated in the past few months, but it was a 2.1 only thing the last time I checked.)

There is a froyo unlock procedure in the development section. Have you tried using that after flashing your Rogers rom?

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831569

Edit: Oh yeah, make absolutely sure you back up /efs before you do anything, or you'll have your face ripped off if the procedure doesn't work for you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
Helroz has put out an app on the market to unlock 2.1 and 2.2 phones :) Havent tried it yet.... worth a shot...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
kind of confused. I mean, I originally purchased my phone from Rogers, and my Sim is from Rogers. I am not sure if it was always locked to rogers, but it just says "no service" and doesn't recognize that I have a rogers sim card. even if network lock is on, shouldn't it still recognize my sim? The methods you have posted have not worked for me. Perhaps I should see if I can get an unlock code from Rogers themselves. If I could do that, would that solve the problem?

Also, if I somehow managed to get an unlock code for my phone, where would I enter it? Would I have to relock my phone to rogers? Could someone explain how I would do that?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
Did you try a factory reset from the settings?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
I have done a factory reset before, but i'll try doing it right now...see what happens.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
ok I just did a factory reset...still telling me there is no sim inserted even though there is..any other ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
Alright so finally everything is showing as "OFF" including Network Lock but it still will not recognize my SIM. i did another factory reset but still no luck. Any other ideas??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
What does it say in your APN Settings?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
Can't access APN settings. infact, just going into "mobile networks" gives me "insert SIM card" even though it is already well-inserted
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] G-Man.:
Sorry - I meant to say mobile networks - brain fart :)

[EDIT] The only thing i can think of would be to check the pins that contact the sim card... see if those somehow got damaged. Also check to ensure they are clean, blow out the sim card holder and if needed give the pins a wipe to clean them up and try again. If all else fails, try to get your hands on another sim from the same carrier and see if it works. If a different sim works, then yours is hosed most likely...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xnoctis93:
It's okay guys I managed to solve things in the end! thanks for all your help tho

[Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] janemanno1:
Hi,

Before I get bashed on this let me explain please. I know I can sync Outlook contacts with WP7 using Outlook Connector but the trouble is Windows Live (Hotmail) contacts have a field for birthday but doesn't have a field for anniversary which I use a lot.

I can't efford to get hosted exchange service so that is out of question.

So I was thinking something like exporting the anniversary field data from Outlook along with some sort of Contact IDs in an xml file.

Then sync the Outlook data with WP7 using Outlook Connector par the missing field.

Then write a WP7 app to read that xml file and populate the missing field in the WP7.

So the question is does WP7 APIs have a way to read and modify a contact or not?

Or is there a better way to do this?

Cheers :)

I bought some ibeats from best buy all excited of course, came home and unbox'd them. Apparently the headphones with the talk control in them sound like there's is a major Flanger effect in them unless you press the talk button.

and i tried it with the AT&T xperia's which were at best buy tried different pair and they sound exactly the same.

Anyone else out there using dre. beats with there xperia without any problems
[XPERIA X10 General] bonzaike:
I can only use the ones from x10 to get good sound others dont work on x10
[XPERIA X10 General] foxhound494:
My Solos never worked with my Xperia. Infact neither did regular iPod headphones. Quite annoying.
[XPERIA X10 General] rsingh612:
i tried 2 different android phones now they work perfectly fine its just the freaking Xperia , im just tired of this phone. No more SE brand's for me. квартиры посуточно Тюмень
[XPERIA X10 General] pngface:
If you get the ones without the mic they should work fine.. tried it with a whole bunch of headphones so that I could choose the right one (ended up with Denon D1001 - great set, esp with X10)
[XPERIA X10 General] consolation:
Yeah, Sony switched the contacts around on the plug compared to how everyone else does it.

Should work ok if you plug the headphones into the clicker instead of directly into the phone. Well, the headphone part will anyways.
[XPERIA X10 General] javaCity:
if your headphone has a mic, ie with 3 bands on your jack, it won't work. apparently , sony has its own thing concerning mic, but the regular 3.5 mm jack, with just 2 bands, it should work just fine.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
All of a sudden, (perhaps due to an update of softkeys?), when I reboot, I get the swipe screen OK, then swipe in and am sitting at a black screen with SoftKeys running, and the words "Recent Tasks" on the screen - with nothing actually showing. The only way around this is to go into the Nook "Extras" apps drawer and select Zeam, my launcher of choice. Up until yesterday, I would have to just hit the Nook hard button after a reboot/swipe to get into Zeam.

How can I tell the Nook to go straight into Zeam on a reboot, and not SoftKeys? I have a single press of the Nook hard key set to go to SoftKeys, so I can get to a Back button when I need it, or use it as a Task Switcher.

Thanks for any help!! I think I've tried every setting here.
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
It was a bug in version 3. Get the latest from the market.

Sent from my NookColor
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
I have the latest: 3.06. We're talking about SoftKeys, right?
[Nook Color General] likearaptor:
Thats strange, I was talking about SoftKeys. The developer mention that it was a bug in a previous version but 3.06 should work just fine for you. Try uninstalling it and putting it back on. Make sure to set your default lancher in the SoftKeys settings, it is under virtual home button, normal press.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
No good. I uninstalled and reinstalled. Same issue. Im giving this to my 75 yr old Mom, so i really hope to fix this before i do. Thanks
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I assume you don't have Softkeys calling itself as the launcher in its prefs, right?

I haven't noticed this myself, but then again, mine hasn't rebooted in 4 days.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
Not sure what you mean here. In SoftKeys prefs... I see a Tools menu which pops up Settings... is that what you mean? There's nowhere in there to specify SoftKeys as the default Launcher. I do, however, have SoftKeys as the Default Launcher in NookColor Tools... When I change it to Zeam or Home, then SoftKeys doesn't work at all, like when I press the Nook button.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
I meant Home Switcher, not NookColor Tools.
[Nook Color General] ClarkSt:
OK, I fixed it, sort of. Got it back to what it was doing before - which is still a bug, but when you hit the Recent Activity on a black screen thing, you just hit the Nook Home button and it will get you into Zeam. Still a bug, but the workaround is less painful for Mom. ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolkachi:
Hello everyone-

This is my first time modding the G2, and I've run into a problem at the last stage of the project. Let me go through what I have done so far to help clarify:

1. Rooted through "rage"

2. gfree -f to full unlock

3. hboot install (confirmed s-off)

4. Factory reset to clear data and settings

5. Clockworkmod Recovery install

6. adb pushed cm_vision_full-85.zip + gapps-hdp-201011 to sdcard

7. Recovery boot > install zip from sdcard > selected cm_vision_full-85.zip > apply > reboot (rinse and repeat for gapps)

*used the "wipe data" setting for the clockworkmod

On reboot, I'm getting a Cyanogenmod boot animation stuck in a loop. Am I missing a step?
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tolkachi:
Aha! After wiping data and cache in Clockworkmod Recovery, the phone booted after a minute of the logo. PLEASE DISREGARD! Thanks-

Installing NMAP to run via Terminal

Let me start now by saying, if you dont know what Netcat is, you shouldn't bother going any further. If you do, then I hold no liability on how you use the following information.

Netcat has been said to be the "Swiss Army Knife" of networking tools. Ergo, as a network/tech, I have used this Program for a long time.

You can read up on Netcat and research this tool before use at its home page @

http://netcat.sourceforge.net/

If you need to root your device, please visit http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Rooting for the walk through process.

Following that you will want to install Superuser and su by following the steps found at http://nookdevs.com/NookColor_Instal..._Superuser_app

You can download the file as well on your own from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/netcat/files/netcat/0.7.1/netcat-0.7.1.tar.gz/download

However, I have taken the time to unpackage the Tarbal and GZ to make it easier for this process.

Netcat files: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=S4K9QC60

First thing is of course unzip the folder. This install, compared to my last post regarding NMAP, will be slightly different. Once unzipped, there will be the primary folder holding all the files. Open your CMD/term, and run the ADB push command. For example, if the file is on my desktop, i will run

adb shell
mount -o remount,rw /dev/block/mmcblk0p5 /system
exit
adb push C:\Users\User\Desktop\netcat\netcat /system/bin

This will copy all the files within the netcat folder.

Old netcat users who used it when the syntax started with the command "netcat" will notice a difference in this revision. Now to run the commands, you simply use "nc".

To access the man page, type in nc -h and hit enter. If you installed the files correctly, you will get the following results.

NetCat for app invertor

Hello

I just saw this tread and was thinking that the app inventor community ( including me :o ) has been looking for a TCP/UDP API ti send and receive data via tcp and udp is there a way to interface Netcat via appinventor so we can communicate with Ethernet enabled devices using this tool.

Anyone knows where can I find informations about to compile CyanogenMod and kernel for Tattoo from source or other packages already configured for Tattoo? I want to help working in camera and FM development. I have a little experience in Linux, beagleboard and arm7 (lpc2368) programming, maybe I can help, but at first I need to learn the basics to help the working in camera and FM drivers. Sorry about my bad english. I have a lot o time disponible to help.
[Click Android Development] arco68:
Take a look at CyanogenMod Wiki: http://www.cyanogenmod.com/wiki-page
[Click Android Development] filipepferraz:
I cannot find informations about the compilation process in HTC Tattoo. Can I use the process of wildfire as example?
[Click Android Development] arco68:
The procedure is basically the same for all phones. You will need a vendor specific config for the Tattoo though. You can use mine from git if you want.

https://github.com/arco/
[Click Android Development] filipepferraz:
Thanks. I will try to compile your repository for learning. I need to download the android sdk for compile or just the 3 sources?
[Click Android Development] arco68:
Follow the instructions in the CM wiki, and you will get the whole build environment, everything that's needed to compile. You will also need to download my files, either as a zip from github, or use git to clone it. And then put it in where the other phone vendor configs are - device/htc for HTC phones. Just poke around a bit and you'll understand it eventually. Takes a while to get familiar with how things work, what is where etc, so don't expect to master it in one day.
[Click Android Development] francians:
@arco: a little question, can I compile a rom and use your kernel without recompile it? I have a celeron processor and need 1 hr and half to compile a kernel
[Click Android Development] KalimochoAz:
If you need one hour for kernel, Cyanogen will take 1 day. But yes, arco has kernel precompiled in his git
[Click Android Development] arco68:
1,5 hours to compile the kernel? :eek: Takes about 5 minutes for me, and building the whole CM sources takes about 0,5 hours. I have an i5 750@2.6GHz, using 3 cores in an 64-bit Ubuntu Virtualbox environment.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentamandawelborn:
After watching a "how-to" video on youtube titled "Android Lock Screen Swap (How-To)", I've decided to begin my search for a taplock update.zip file that will work for my phone build.

My phone:

SGH-I897

Build: Eclair JH7

If anyone has one or can make one or can point me to one--that would be fantastic. I've searched around via google and past xda posts but haven't found one that has a working link.

Side Question: Does anyone know if the current Cog version has a slide style lock screen?

Thanks in advance on any help! :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] quarlow:
Don't know what taplock is.

Congition and perception have the stock slide to unlock / silence. Perception also has epic, vibrant and captivate lock screens as a choice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongothemagnificent:
Wrong section of the forum, move it to Q&A.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brentamandawelborn:
wasn't sure where to post this message--as writing a update.zip file for a specific phone build seemed to be more specific in nature than just Q&A but if it goes there--feel free to move it or let me know how i'm supposed to move it.

To the previous post--Taplock is a lock screen program much like what you just described. I was hoping to just flash taplock rather than have to flash an entire ROM to get a different lock screen than the stock sliding glass panel thing. If someone knows another way--I'm more than willing to check it out.

I would post a link to the video that i saw so that this would make more sense but I'm not allowed for the sake of spam protection or something like that.

thanks for the response on the cog question though.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] uiskibum:
Before the mods close this I'll give you the answer I think you are looking for.

For most roms the Taplock (android aosp) functionality is achieved by modifying the android.policy.jar file. You decompile it modify a few of the smali files, recompile it, and push it to your phone.

Caveats

1. I haven't been on an Eclair rom in ages, so I don't know 100%

2. You need to have the android sdk tools

3. You will most likely need to be rooted and have CWM in place. I haven't worked out of the 2e recovery in terms of an adb session.

Personally this is an easy task (i've done it a lot), if you post up your android.policy.jar from /system/framework I'll take a look at it, however, I make no promises. Also can you elaborate on what your phone is running? Is it still factory stock, unmolested, er modified?

PM me with the details, let's let this thread die/get locked/ moved, etc.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NISMOFO:
I'm also interested in this "slider" or iPhone looking unlock screen. It's called Taplock.zip on the YouTube video...but not sure if that's it's real name.

I am rooted on stock Android 2.1, ROM Manager w/CWM and I also have SDK installed on my PC.

I'm not ready to jump into a new ROM just yet, just trying to take little baby steps for now.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] driodfreakz:
I have rooted my phone however when I install setCPU the application is unable to obtain root access. I have to tried to grant access to the application in the Superuser application however, the application does not seem to allow that option.

BTW, I have search both google and the forum to see if there was a fix for this before posting this message.

Any advise or direction would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Used to happen once in a while when I used to use SetCPU.

Try this:

1. In superuser, delete the entry for set cpu. (I would suggest reinstalling super user app.)

2. If u have any protection apps like protector pro, disable that.

3. Run the setcpu app. This should now prompt superuser dialog.

4. Grant access and make sure u have check box selected to grant access always.

Reinstalling super user app always resolved this issue for me.

AT&T is trying to fill the internal SD card with as much bloat as possible, it takes time to make sure the phone will run as crappy as possible.
[Captivate General] AlecKyle:
AT&T and Samsung are both focusing most of their time and energy on their upcoming phones revealed at CES. Samsung is notorious for their slow updates, sometimes they don't even update their phones at all. And AT&T is slow at releasing updates because of having to put all of their bloatware in there

New Captivate noob....

Hello All! I have just ordered my new phone from Amazon and should receive it tomorrow. I hope to figure out how to use it as a modem for my Macbook while deployed for some military training. I have been reading as much as I possibly can about this phone and modifying it and feel like I'm trying to get a drink of water from an open fire hydrant....SO MUCH INFO !! I really appreciate the fact that you guys seem to be helpful and am looking forward to "moding" my new phone. I guess my first question is this: Is it possible to use this phone as an access to the internet for my Macbook laptop? I love this computer but didn't want the iphone 'cause it ain't apple's business (or AT&T's) with what I do with it and I don't like "Big Brother" telling me I can't put certain stuff on it. So, is there an app for using the Captivate as a modem for a Mac? Thanks and I'll deploy soon so hope to get this done by then.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
You can either:

-Pay more per month (I think it's $10)

-Install a custom ROM and do it for free

But yes, you can use it as a hotspot for a laptop.
