You need to get all the stat_sys_battery_*.png and all the stat_sys_battery_charge_anim*.png files (200 total) from a framework-res.apk file that has the batteries you like. Place those in the framework-res.apk that you grab from the system/framework folder, then move the file back. The battery files are in the \res\drawable-hdpi-v4\ folder in the apk.

If you like the battery sample below you can install the file through CWM, it is based on 2.0.4 framework.

[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Guys, I am running FF 2.0.5. Flashed yesterday, reinstalled apps with TiBU. Today, TiBU is telling me "cannot acquire root."

I hit the "Problems?" button on TiBU to update Busybox, still no-go. Superuser app shows TiBU with root privileges.

The only thing I did today that I can think of was mess with Lagfix. I had run Lagifx on data, but today I ran in from Recovery on "System." Changed system to EXT4, where before only data was EXT4. I think I got that straight.

Ah, another detail. I recall that I flashed 2.0.5 from 1.5 without disabling Lagfix last night. That's supposed to be a no-no, but it didn't seem to present any problems. I was running fine all day today, until I went to Titanium Backup to restore an app that I hadn't restored earlier.

I read that you can check root by typing "su" on a terminal emulator. I do that, but get "permission denied." (With $ dollar signs instead of the # that is supposed to show up if you are rooted.)

Other programs such as ROM Manager and Root Explorer that require root are running fine. I used "one-click root" before installing FF 1.5. Didn't run it again as FF installs root, I believe.

Any ideas? I have searched and searched for a solution. Most people seem to fix it by hitting the "Problems?" button on TiBu and installing or updating Busybox.

Thanks.

OK guys I installed the gps fix thanks tsachi, as always I get quick locks tomorrow I will give it the real test as I drive 60 miles one way to work. The problem I have is when using NAV and make a turn the gps thinks I'm still going straight eventually it catches up. I hope these files fix that.

Can one of you post the settings you have set in LbsTestMode that work best for you, I've screwed around so much with them I don't know what they should be set to for the best results.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Could just be that when you reformatted system it brought it removed some of the root definitions. You can try to go to recovery -> advanced and debugging -> fix permissions.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
This still has that. I think a lot of the GPS fixes use a longer integration time to fix the jumping issues. The downside is that when you stop or change direction it takes longer for the GPS to respond to that. While it's trying to figure if this is a real change or a signal issue it assumes that you maintain direction/speed.
[Captivate Android Development] roger_n:
If I were you the first thing I would try is just re-root my phone. I don't thing that would hurt anything if I'm wrong someone please correct me.

It is a side effect of the SpeedMod kernel.. Go in to CWM recovery and then ULK options then install root/superuser.

Mobile AP

I did a test with KP1 modem. I had my laptop wirelessly tethered to my phone and ran a speed test on my laptop. I hit 2.5 down and 1.5 up, which isnt bad. I hooked up to my router (Comcast) and ran the speedm test. The down speed was 3.5 and the up was almost 2. So, there was not much difference which shocked me.

Also, how does a pic show on the dialer. I have a pic for some contacts, but wont show while on a call.

My battery life is great on 1.5 and FB2. Unplugged for 23 hours and I still have 55% left.

Hello all!

I am looking for an awesome dock for my SGS, it's the GT-I9000 from Europe. I am in the USA and I am not familiar with the compatibility / interchanges on the various models.

If anyone has any suggestions for a dock that would be cool!

Would like to have one by my bed and one at my desk. So I need to be able to connect to PC while docked and if possible access 3.5mm port as well, for TV out.

Thank you for your help!
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] androidsl:
Did you check ebay? there are various cradles for SGS :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] S7AN:
Yea I did most I find won't let you sync while docked, or use the 3.5mm, only charge.

And I don't want to use a dongle, I just want to plug it into the dock.

Thank though
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] Nirvana388:
Just get the official samsung dock, it's pretty nice, lets you do all of that. Automatically puts the phone into the home dock mode too, which is nice.

http://cgi.ebay.com/OEM-Dock-Charge...977987?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item5d2c869cc3

~Edit - Sorry that one looks like it is for the epic 4g, which is thicker than our phone due to the keyboard, but the dock might work, it depends on whether the USB is on the lower or upper half of the epic if you know what I mean. This one would work for your phone and it's only a few dollars more:

[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] S7AN:
Thanks Nirvana388,

I do however need to be able to sync my device with kies and use the mass storage feature through the USB of phone while docked.

Correct me if I am wrong but, as far as i can tell neither of those cradles allow syncing while docked, and for me that kinda defeats the purpose of the dock/cradle, it is instead a glorified charger. The ads are very deceiving and the only reason I know that those features are not available is by reading the customer reviews.

Thank you for the suggestion though
[Galaxy S I9000 Accessories] xmsnx:
As you can see from the pics there is a microusb connector on the back, just make sure the cable you insert there is in fact connected to your PC. :D

I've bought a cheapo cradle off of ebay, works fine for sync and charge, has a usb cable and also a charger! But it does not have the 3.5mm connector so not sure if it would be any good to you. http://cgi.ebay.com/USB-Sync-Dock-C...393647?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item45f84ac72f

My friend just bought a A101. He used a external hard drive once (Seagate Portable Drive, 500GB) After he connected it the first time, it has never worked since....

[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wokker666:
This sounds more like an underpowered usb port, rather than a failed usb port.

The usb port only supplies 200ma power, most hdd require 500ma, especially if you are powering said hdd off the port.

I suggest installing SDE, then installing UrukDroid 1.0, then look in the UrukDriod dev forum for Sibere's V10 kernel - it raises the ma from 200 to 500, but even then, it's not a 'complete' fix - the port seems to share power with the display.

Good luck!
[Gen8, Gen9, Gen10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spicy_puerto_rican:
Question:

Has the Seagate 500GB external portable HDD worked properly before it was connected to the A101IT.... like were there any problems whatsoever with it being connected to a laptop/desktop at all??

If the portable HDD HAS worked then you have a guaranteed FUBAR USB port, period! I actually had the same problem and I thought the problem lied with my Western Digital 500GB external portable USB-powered HDD because it was working with my A101IT for a long time then one day my A101IT couldn't find my WD HDD when it was connected. I then disconnected it from my A101IT and found that when I reconnected my WD HDD back to my laptop that there really was no problem with my WD HDD at all, it was the USB port on the A101IT! Also you can plug a thumb drive/usb stick with like 1 GB+ that has stuff like documents, movies, music, etcetera on it and if the information on the thumb drive still doesn't come up after you have connected it to your A101IT the problem is a definite A101IT USB Port problem.

P.S. - By the way, reformatting the entire A101IT AND upgrading/downgrading to a newer/older firmware will also not work.

[Ideos S7 General] fev79:
Hi all, I bought my wife a Telstra T Tab for Christmas which she loves, however, because the battery life is pretty ****ty, it would be good to be able to charge from the usb. I know that this isn't possible from stock BUT, there is a second hand T Tab on ebay and the seller claims that they have unlocked it to use the usb for charging.

Is this correct, if so, how?

Thanks

[Ideos S7 General] ntnlzr:
ideos already charge by usb cable, maybe there is a problem on that specific phone
[Ideos S7 General] CasualStarlord:
The Telstra T-Touch Tab does not charge from the microusb cable - I dont know about the huawei branded version, but the Telstra version with 2 camera's and no internal 8gb sd, does NOT charge from USB.

It only charges from the power port, what I did was cut the original power cord and splice it into the usb cable, this allows me to charge off the USB, I could upload a wiring diagram for you, all you really need is some electrical tape and a pair of pliers or a blade of some description, then just splice in red to red and black to black from each cable.

Alternately you could pickup extra cable parts and build one from scratch if you didn't want to break the original cables, either idea achieves the same goal.

Also, as a side note, I was selling a unit with the USB charging cable on eBay, I hadn't unlocked it, I had rooted it and provided an extra cable for USB charging. I decided against selling it however as mine was accidentally damaged (screen was crushed) and I'm waiting on a price to fix it. I may end up just trashing it considering the price of the unit :/

I can confirm that the IDEAOS S7 model 101 does not charge via usb, sadly..

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Markstar:
Hi,

I'm getting my Pro2 today and since I'm very worried about battery life (I hope to be using the TP2 A LOT), I was wondering how much an extended case adds to the phone.

This is what I had in mind (German Ebay but I think you know what I mean from the picture there):

http://cgi.ebay.de/Power-Akku-Li-Io...4579?pt=DE_PDA_Zubehör_KM&hash=item53e279e3e3

Does anybody have such a case for an extended battery? How comfortably can you carry the phone in your back pocket compared to the normal case?

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] ijwhelan:
I don't know if I would bother with a case like that (it looks like it'll make the phone about 50% thicker). With the stock battery, it lasts more than long enough for me to get through the day, so all I have to do is plug it in each night. What I'd do is just see how long it lasts you for the first week or so then decide if you want to get an extended battery, HTC makes an extended battery and cover so I'd look into that rather than a third party one.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] schumifer1:
If you think the phone is fat now, don't try it. It makes it bulkier but also a bit uglier (and i have yet to see a silicon type 2-piece case for the extended back cover (how are you going to protect it after install the extended stuff?))

Wait and see if the normal battery suits you , then if yes just go out and buy another one plus battery charger from ebay and you are set! If not, well it doesn't really give you a choice. You are going for the extended.

After all the purchases i have inside ebay and seeing the prices of the original models, i'd be nuts to prefer the official against the oem from a seller with proven history!
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Markstar:
Thanks for your replies!

The extended case does indeed look ugly, so I'm holding off buying one for now. However, despite my light use so far (I need to get the data connections turned off first), it does feel like the battery doesn't last long at all, especially compared to my good old K750i, which I could use to play mp3s for literally days :p (which I wasn't expecting with the TP2, of course, but still - that was really nice).

I'll wait and see, I guess. But since the docking station, which I also got from ebay, doesn't seem to recharge the battery fast enough, I might have to look for a solution soon. :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] steyn_e:
I have also seen a 1750 mah battery that isn't bigger at all. It fits underneath your existing case, and it is an improvement of 250mah.

I cannot post links atm. Just google "Seidio Inno 1750mAh Extended Life Battery " and find it on amazon. It costs about 50 dollars.

Greetz,

Steyn
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Markstar:
Hmm, 1750mAh isn't that much bigger of a capacity.

Hmm, $50 is a little too much for my taste, since I paid only little more that $100 for the whole phone and there are plenty of batteries for less than $20 out there. ;)
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] wooptyone:
I have the extened back and battery. Well worth it if you use the phone alog like I do. with the OE battery I was getting down to less than 20% battery life in not time at all. Now I get down to around 50% by days end.

Google HTC and 74H01486-01M (the part number for the OEM HTC extended back) they cost $12.95 (USD)

When I set the extened back next to the phone with the OEM back on it, the extened back is as tall as the original phone, so it is adding about 1/2 inch to the thickness.

Don't expect to find a case for it either, I have had my phone for 1 year and have yet to find a case that it fits in. I have an old worn out one that was stretched that I can get it into.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Accessories] Markstar:
@wooptyone: Thanks for sharing! I am back to considering the extended case as well since I will be reading a lot of ebooks with the TP2 and the battery does indeed go down pretty quickly. Also, I discovered that I'm not using a case anyway since I have the phone in my chest pocket all the time. The only downside is the docking station that I bought for it, but since that isn't working as intended (apparently the current isn't enough to load the phone while also acting as a USB port :( ), the extended case so look attractive right now.

Sadly though I can't find the case you mentioned in Europe and S/H would double the price. :(

I love my nexus S. I have yet to sell it. however i picked up a brand new captivate for only 200$ on craigslist still sealed. I love the screen, and how its bigger than the nexus S and the shape is somewhat normal as well. I also cant stand only having edge with my Nexus S (im on at&t). My questions to the Captivate community are what are

1. What are the best roms for this thing that will give me a "gingerbread" expereince.

2. What is the highest possible overclocking Kernel? I know this thing will do 1Ghz, i currently have my Nexus at 1.3

3. How is the battery life? The nexus has a 1500 battery... Im barley getting thru the day with moderate use.
[Captivate General] djnoicatse:
Isn't the screen the same size????
[Captivate General] bradleyG:
I suggest switching to T-Mobile :P haha jk. I think the highest overclock I've seen is 1.4 or 1.6ghz. I think the screen is the same size if I'm not mistaken.
[Captivate General] bradleyG:
Oh yeah and my batter does fine usually, I'm usually around 40 percent at the end of the day with moderate use.
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
Go back to the Nexus S. ;)

Froyo is the best you're going to get at the moment. There are a few to try, some are better than others it seems to be phone related.

Moderate use is subjective as well, depending on the rom, kernel and modem setup some people say they get a whole day. Personally, I have the worst luck with the I9000 roms my phone just doesn't like them . YMMV.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Thats what i was thinking, the captivate is a downgrade mainly due to a lack of official froyo/gingerbread.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Or wait for a couple more months for a better phone to be released
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
1. There is none yet. You'll have to use a custom theme.

2. I've seen 1.6. It's rare though, most stay at 1.2/1.3.

3. My battery life is great, I get about 20 hours. It's subjective, of course.

Also, WHY. :confused: I'd kill for a Nexus, even with edge only.
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
...What? Let me get this straight, you want to maximize your battery life to last longer than a day, but you also want to overclock your phone as much as possible and download stuff over 3g.. Reminds me of my coworker, who wanted a new car that was fast and nimble, but also big enough to carry a family and get good mileage, and had to be luxurious and exclusive, but also had to be cheap and affordable.

If you're going for battery life, you're probably better off flashing back to stock 2.1 JH7. In my experience, all of the 2.2 roms drain battery much faster due to either being tweaked for performance, or just being buggy from being built on top of leaked/unfinished/buggy firmware.

You won't find a gingerbread experience on the Captivate. The best you can hope for is a rom with a 2.3 skin (gingerbread keyboard, launcher). The cyanogenmod devs are working on a 2.3 port for the galaxy s series, but they're having major problems with it so don't expect it anytime soon.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
What do I recommend? You return to the Nexus S immediately.
