[Captivate General] gunnyman:
Has anyone found out what AT&T is offering on the Captivate?
[Captivate General] tsncs:
Where did you get a captivate so cheap? Did you have to renew your contract?
[Captivate General] nuwayman:
I paid 48:88 as well. Renew contract. Walmart. What's strange is phone upgrade eligibilty is in 1 year when I signed a 2 year contract though. Fine by me. Next christmas there should be lots of new phones out.
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
I take it your monthly bill is awfully high?
[Captivate General] JoeMap:
Why would the monthly bill be any higher depending on where you buy it? The price is what it is. I haven't seen Captivates on a payment plan.
[Captivate General] nuwayman:
yeah the bill is pretty high buts its because of all the extra stuff on the plan. family plan plus internet for me and the wife (she has iphone) and text messaging. almost wanting to switch to sprint with there everything plan for 70 bucks a person. been with at&t for a long time though. ive never had much complaints with them and they have treated me well.
[Captivate General] wilsongis:
If you spend over a certain amount a month you get early upgrades
[Captivate General] Phateless:
From Craigslist, USED, without contract. I would much rather spend an extra $150 to NOT be on contract with AT&T. Yuck.
[Captivate General] YoungGun821:
I wonder what my captivate will be worth in late 2012 when I'm up for a new contract :P
[Captivate General] s13envy:
Only reason i own a captivate is bc i went into at&t and complained about my last two phones being crap (samsung eternity & backflip) and they sold me the captivate with no contract or any other fees for $75
[Captivate General] agentfusion:
Mine didn't go up at all. I insisted that they change the IMEI back to my original phone (Rogers Dream) and since that's not an at&t-owned IMEI they don't know that it's a Smartphone. So, that means what? It means $10 Data Connection! (Family Plan, Unlimited data for standard feature phones is $10.)

My line: $9.99/month+$10 Data+$5 Insurance(Note in my account with Captivate IMEI so I don't get some random POS)+$6 for my share of the Family Unlimited Texting+$18 Upgrade Fee - 25% = $36.75 first month after upgrade, every month after that no upgrade fee, so $23.25/month.

Not bad, eh?

I used to work for at&t, and they never took off my 25% discount. I have a note in my account that explains that I use my captivate only 'some' of the time, and mostly use a feature phone (the one attached to my account) because of 'work', so I can keep my Captivate covered by the insurance.

I still have my "Dealer Account" phone from the at&t business-to-business work I used to do too, which is a smartphone with unlimited everything for $30/month but I use that SIM in my 3g 'aircard' (old at&t tilt that doesn't work for anything but data set in wireless access point mode in case my internet connection drops... I have my own web server, and I can't afford any downtime, so if my connection drops, it immediately shifts to wireless through the tilt. Slower than my 20mbit connection, but it keeps the server up!)
[Captivate General] Essenar:
Next time, buy your phone from Best Buy and purchase their trade in plan. Within 6 months, you get back 50% of the retail value when you bought it, toward a new device.

So if you got a MyTouch 4G (Retail $599), you'd get $300 toward a new device as late as 6 months later. I'm confident that's more than you'd get for a MyTouch 4G on Craig's List or Ebay when dual core Androids, Bionic and Atrix 4G are out.
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
Bought two of them for $29 a piece from Best Buy. Amazon had them for upgrade, went into BB and they price matched - Extended the contracts for 2 years though - so typical I guess.

I thought it was a good deal because I really like the phone and all three of them work fine. (YMMV)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] danman132x:
Read a couple posts about this, but I would like to confirm if this is true with our EVO's. Is using WiFi better for the battery than 3G when it comes to draining it? If this is true, it would be nice since my work and house both have excellent wireless connections. Before, I always thought wifi would use more battery since the antenna is always on..

AVA's ROMs give me best battery life. I never turn off data and best battery life was 27 hours on single charge. That was with less than avg use though. I typically get between 18-20.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Brad_Dubbs:
I'm a little confused on the subject of kernels and roms. Im not sure whether you have to start fresh on your phone every time you change either the rom or the kernel. If you don't have to start fresh, I mean redo all your apps and settings etc, then I would be a lot more tempted to play around with more roms and kernels.

On a second note, if I wished to change a rom or kernel, what do i need to do while in recovery, minus making a nandroid backup.

Any Help is Welcome! Thanks!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bradleyw801:
You can change a kernel without much effort and without wiping anything out. In recovery, wipe dalvik cache, and then flash the kernel. It should be a signed flashable zip.

But kernels are tricky. If you use the wrong one, you could lose things like bluetooth. Some are designed for AOSP roms, and some are designed for Sense roms, so just make sure you pick a kernel that is compatible with the Rom you are using.

Once the new kernel is flashed, you will probably not notice anything has changed, because the kernel handles all the underlying processes.

Roms on the other hand, change everything. When flashing a new rom, it's always a good idea to do a complete wipe of your phone. Even if you are flashing a newer version of the same rom.

You can use apps like Titanium backup to restore missing apps, and settings once the new Rom is on.

[Desire HD General] zidanee:
Hi, I really hope somebody might be able to help me here.

I got my HTC DHD on Tuesday and it was working fine till today. For the last 4 hours it shows 'no service' (i.e. no network coverage/no phone). Everything else is working fine. I've tried switching my SIM card to my old HTC HD and it worked fine, I could make/receive calls. I also tried airplane mode on/off, restart, taking out the battery, plugging to pc, plugging into power socket, even hard reset - the problem still exists, like the phone module is off for some reason. WiFi works fine btw. All settings look fine. The phone doesn't have a scratch on it, brand new, never been dropped. I'm really upset by this issue - the phone is just 3.5 days old and such an issue appeared. Doesn't look promising (

Any suggestions apart from the obvious 'return to the shop and wait for ages to get it repaired'?
[Desire HD General] beasty54:
Just to add, this had been happening to me as well for the last 3 or 4 days. My DHD is only 11 days old and was working fine untill tuesday when it started to say no service. It seems to display no service randomly and then just kicks back in and works no problems for a few hours. My text messages have also started to be delayed and i'm often getting them 2 hours later than the time on the actual message.
[Desire HD General] olivierlee:
Have you tried to set your phones on GSM only and see if that helps? Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks > Network mode
[Desire HD General] zidanee:
olivierlee - thanks for the reply. yes, i've tried that with no luck. :/

beasty54 - mine didn't bounce back yet. how long are your phone's 'blackouts'?
[Desire HD General] beasty54:
Most of the time i miss it actually drop the connection so for all i know it could be hours but i have caught it drop for 10 mins or so a few times though.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grifforama:
Hi,

Seeing as though development and support for this ROM has now ceased, does anyone know if there would be room for Themes to be done on it in the absence of the Dev ?

Failing that, has anyone managed to get any themes from other ROM's to work on this ROM ? I'd love a gingerbread theme for the ROM, but am not good enough to try myself.

[Defy General] m0nk3e:
Hi, I've got a question, that is if anyone else knows this problem or how to solve it.

I have an .mp3 ringtone located in the media/mp3 folder on my SD. Now when I receive a call, the ringtone starts but stops after one second or so - display still shows the call, however the phone is mute, doesn't even vibrate.

Any ideas?
[Defy General] lilazngoku8:
is the vibrate settting on ? and is your mp3 corrupted ?
[Defy General] m0nk3e:
Yep it's one, the mp3 is perfectly fine. Now when I rebooted the phone, it worked correct again, but at some point it's the same issue again.

I have googled, and it seems that it's not a Defy specific issue, but happens on many Android devices. Closing random processes and rebooting seems to help, yet it's annoying...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] zamcum:
I have been creating playlists, and after the soft reset they disappear or are empty.

When I boot, without SD card in the Galaxy, and I insert the external card, after the multimedia scan of the internal card, the playlists will not be deleted or become empty.

If it is possible to delay the mounting storage?

Thanks
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
Got the update from Kies for froyo 2.2.... The reason I wanted it so bad was because the Samsung car mount requires it for the audio out on the dock to function correctly.

Well I have it on the phone now.. Guess what the Samsung car home app is no longer visible on the market..

Any ideas?

I have a US Cellular Desire and I want some freedome with it. We have been told that we'll be getting the 2.2 update every month since October... I'm tired of waiting.

I'm thinking about rooting but nervous to. I want to know that I would be able to go back to completely stock if I wanted to.

The more I read about rooting and custom ROM's, the more confused I get. Can someone give me some guidance/advice for a US Cellular Desire?

Thanks!
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trmason:
I know I'm new to this forum so I wanted to ask if maybe I've posted in the wrong place or if I've maybe asked the question wrong. Or, maybe it's not possible to root a US Cellular Desire??

Is there anyone out there who has rooted and flashed a custom ROM on a US Cellular Desire that might be able to help me?

Huh... 59 views and I'm the only one that has responded to my own post. Well, thanks anyways guys. I guess I'll just find a different android forum and hope they are more helpful than this one.
[Galaxy Tab General] rclua:
Dear wizards of the coding.

Everytime I see my new devices I must say every purchase action depends on how much is supported in XDA-DEVELOPERS, so keep doing it.

Not sure if this is the right category to post this but as an advance user (not developer) I was thinking that could be interesting to develop an application to extend your current screen with Galaxy tab screen.

As I'm not an expert, I'm not sure if current USB bandwith will support it, but I ask to the experts to check if they see will benefit the community.

Another topic I've experienced is about bluetooth. I use to use a bluetooth earphone Sony Ericsson MW600 with OLED display. There are some devices where I can see son title or call ID name from my mobile phone. That doesn't happen with my SGT.

Sorry for the extended email and look forward to seeing these developments or threads.

Regards to all!!!
[Galaxy Tab General] Loccy:
Not quite sure exactly what you mean, but if you mean using your Tab's screen as a second (or third) monitor for your desktop machine, you could do that right now on Macs - run ScreenRecycler on your desktop, a VNC client on your Tab and job done. The virtual second monitor of ScreenRecycler is shown in the VNC client on your tab.

I don't do Windows but a quick Google seems to suggest ZoneScreen does something similar.
[Galaxy Tab General] brilldoctor:
The promlem with vnc is its slow. It moght be possible to do it over usb since it is way faster than bluetooth
[Galaxy Tab General] rclua:
Your solution is fine but I don't think VNC will be as fast. I was thinking on same way windows/mac/linux extend their screens using dedicated video ports/hardware but in that case using all potential USB bandwith for transferring such data.

It could have applications of monitor in the music industry (Imagin a DJ o composer controlling from SGT and playing other stuff on main screen), things like that.

Any hint on the second topic? (bluetooth realted to songs titles or call ID names being transferred from your SGT or Android Device?

Thanks!!
[Galaxy Tab General] rmjdees:
There is an application in the market called androidmonitor that allowsa phone to be used either as an extra monitor or as a keyboard input. It's $9.95 and the review so far are not good plus one notes that it does not work with the galaxy tab. With 15 minute return policy, reviews need to get better to try it.

[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbathgate:
Hi,

Is there any ROM or App which has the function to add GPS/Wifi/Mobile Data/Profile Toggles (on/off) into the top status bar of the HTC desire?

Basically, I have these four toggles as 1x1 icons as I use them alot, but they take up alot of real estate, and I think I have seen somewhere examples of these toggles in the top bar, when you drag it down.

Any ideas of what ROM/App offers this would be most appreciated.

Cheers

Rob
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Oxygen has it, cyanogenmod also has it i think and most Sense roms(not hd) have a flashable zip, depending on framework version, to add it.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjbathgate:
Many thanks for the reply.

I'm looking at Defrost -- any idea if that has it?

And also, if I stick with sense roms, what/where could I find this flashable zip for it?

Thanks again
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheGhost1233:
Not sure but I assume defrost also has it. For the sense add on look in the theme and app section. Should be called something like: mod notification menu power control for sense roms.

Ok so im tryin to get the new update off of kies but when I plug up says unregistered device. Im runnin nero v3 with DOW and the ka6 modem. How do I make kies work?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
You need to use Odin to get back t stock 2.1 first. do a search for odin 2.1 and you will find a thread that will guide you step by step through the process.

Once you are back to stock, then you can hook it back up and run Kies, and you will be offered the update.

heads up your phone needs to be fully charged for kies to start the update so plug it in.

I formatted my SD drives and did everything else I've seen to do. Is there something I'm just missing?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Bl4ckpheniX:
It is worth it for me only because I bought the Samsung car mount that requires OFFICIAL 2.2 for the audio out on the car mount to function the right way..

Other wise I would stick with Nero 5 with voodoo and Dragon 3.1 kernal

Does anybody know of a dock that works with the XT720? I found one from Amazon for the droid that since the micro USB port looks to be in the same place it looks like it might work. I just didn't know if anybody knew of any or knew if this one worked.
[Milestone XT720 Accessories] reverendkjr:
I've been told that the docks available that appear to work for our phone will not work due to the positioning of the USB port. Ours are upside down from the droid's or the motoroi's. Unless someone knows otherwise.

Here's a link (I don't know why it was hard for me to find now as well...): http://www.droidforums.net/forum/droid-hacks/2425-how-diy-media-car-dock.html

There are dock apps, check around for Droid/Milestone Dock in android market. I tried one once, that worked fine, but I think it only works for 2.1 so prob won't be compatible with Dexter Froyo. I think there are others that do. Check around. I don't know about making it turn on specifically when you charge the phone, could be though.

For myself, I want to get the Spider Podium dock because there are so many uses for it (i.e. dock anywhere at any angle, tripod for the camera, etc...). Only thing is, I don't know how I can get a magnet on that.... guess we'll find out once I get one. :)
