[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] trekie86:
I know this question exists in other forums but I'm curious. What is the max speed supported by the Captivate? Pretty much, what class of SD card should I go up to that will still provide the best speed on the phone? What's the best bang for my buck?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheriaultAJ:
Captivate... Rooted, ROM'd, Kernel'd, etc. I would consider myself a medium skilled user, decent in adb/sdk, and have flashed numerous ROMs, kernels, etc.

So, here is the problem...

Customized a ROM, and a theme, plug phone in, move files, unplug, ready to install from .zip in recovery, open "choose from sdcard", nothing there. Reboot, ATT screen opens, boot screen flashes completely, once, and vibrates. A second time, vibrates twice. Finally a third time, vibrates three times, then shows screen as it is off, and charging (battery icon).

Any ideas? Phone will not register in Odin, nor can I flash from Update.zip.

Any help is appreciated, possible bounty. Thanks in advance!

Make a jig and get back to download mode
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheriaultAJ:
I can get into download mode through recovery, but it's not readable via Odin, and I have full access to recovery, just no data at all... That's why I'm so confused, it goes through the boot screen, but just doesn't load anything. Thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
try toggling r/w r/o in Root Explorer. or boot into clockwork recovery with speedmod options and unmount / mount your internal sd card.

sounds like it isnt remounting. also when it boots into your launcher do you se "mounting card" "preparing card" "media scanning""media scanning complete" ect? twice? once for internal and once for external?

did you enable lagfix options? did you set them right? did you re-root after?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
So which recovery are you able to boot into? Is it clockwork? If so, can you send adb commands? If you have adb connectivity then I would format the sdcard and push a cwm flashable ROM to /sdcard and install.

If the above is no good then I suppose you'll need to use download mode. Remove the battery and sim for a few minutes, try different USB ports, run odin as administrator or try a different PC.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTCNetwork:
Hi,

Have just received a dock for my HTC Desire Z and was using it on my PC for the first time. Phone connected to HTC sync Ok and got the usual noises when the connection on the PC was being established.

However, not long after my internet died and wireless connection dropped/disconnected. On looking further I see I have new hardware with no drivers. Some IDE controller called AT43ZU27 IDE.

Re-established my wireless etc and searched for the above to find no hits??!!

Odd..

Disconnected the Desire Z and uninstalled the hardware.

I have seen something vaguely similar in the Windows phone section about turning off high speed USB? Might this be it?

Or would this be the quality of the cable that connects the dock to the PC??

Dock is one of these:

Desire Dock...

PC is a Windows 7 64bit with Intel Core2, 8Gb RAM and more HDD space than you can shake a stick at.

[Desire HD General] fernandosaez:
So, I live in Chile and sold my phone (HTC HD2). The HTC DESIRE HD A9192 works with 3g in my country and I read it would be reliesed soon.

I saw some companies that sold them pre order:

https://www.electronicbazaar.com.au...tatus=null&utm_source=getprice&utm_medium=cpc

https://www.celluloco.com/product.php?productid=3190&cat=125&page=3

I read online that they are kinda sketchy.

So what do I do? look for another? wait till it apears on ebay? I do need a decent phone. I am using a */*-* one!

Advice?

does it have a Gen ? classification

tried it myself & used a SIP acct..works great on overseas intl calls too..

I assume that everyone is talking about the Kineto UMA app that is being introduced on some of the ?Orange branded roms ?

Skype (and other wifi calling apps) are available on the market; so why ask to 'bloat' roms with this??

Just use MarketEnabler and try a US provider if Skype is not available for you to download.

Skype is not free to call phones (only Skype-to-Skype) and people cannot call your mobile phone number!
[Defy Android Development] bimmerd00d:
I don't think some of you guys are catching this. Lookup T-Mobile uma. It allows you to make calls using wifi when you are out of the coverage area. It is not a separate sip acct, it uses your cell minutes.

And if you have unlimited-minute plan, it's totally free!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halabeaster54:
I got an Evo for the intention of flashing it to boost mobile. Then I saw virgin mobile and decided i wanted to flash to them instead (same service half the price). I ended up going with metro pcs and I spent maybe 12 hours today working on this thing. I CANT FIND ONE TUTORIAL THAT WORKS! Also I'm now finding out that you cant use the evo with 3g in New York, apparently that's where I live hence a problem. Can someone point me to a good PRL, Tutorial on how to flash to metro, and a funny picture that can make me happy because I'm very angry.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halabeaster54:
can someone respond? i have a $500 touch screen desk ornament just hanging out...staring me down, mocking me
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackelmatador:
Dang 1:49 minutes, relax...

First off, you can't just flash your EVO to metro yourself. You need to go to a metro store and have them add the ESN to their database. This will active the phone and get it working for talk and text, just get the $40 plan!

To get MMS and web working follow bloody's info and flash his ROM to make life easy.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=795182

Now to make you mad, Metro does not have 3g, you will only get 2G. The good news is there are ways to potentially get Clearwire 4G working for either free or cheap.

Virgin Mobile won't active the EVO since Sprint owns them and they don't want people flocking to the cheap plans. If you find someone that will actually do this let me know I would be very interested!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Halabeaster54:
My esn is already in their database and I had service until I flashed my prl and now I have no bars can someone post the sprint prl for new york and had was it clear wire for free
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jackelmatador:
If you want Metro to work you need a metro PRL, search around it is easy to find, howard forums has a sticky, the PRL you need 02004

As for clear do read bloodykiller86 metrodroid ROM thread I posted info there on how to get clearwire to work.

Tried googling around and wasn't successful; maybe I just used the wrong tags..anyways

I've noticed this issue quiet a while back and never thought of it; but recently it seems to of been getting worse..no Idea why because I haven't changed my setup

But; what happens is if I send a text message then open up another app; I.e browser, irc, ect, ect.. then press the back button when I go to open up my messaging app again to reply or send out another text it'll open up the previous app I just backed out of.

This is seriously annoying because I can't get to my text messaging threads at all and have yet to find a work around to fix this except rebooting.

I've tried clearing cache and that hasn't seemed to work. If anyone has any other ideas i'll be glad to test and report back.

[EVO 4G Accessories] Biker1:
Sprint does not sell the standard size battery. I remember this with the Diamond also. A few years ago, Sprint stopped carrying standard size batteries for their devices to make room for inventory space, or something to that effect.

I am looking for a standard size HTC OEM battery for the Evo.

The P/N of the stock battery is 35H00123-22M

I have been looking around and saw the battery for sale.

I researched other sellers before purchase regarding description OEM, picture of battery, specs, etc.

I stay away from the $3 - $11 batteries etc. as you usually get what you pay for.

I received the battery but the P/N ends in 25M. The price was $29.99

In addition,

- the red wrapper looks to be too small and there is silver showing on the bar code side around the entire perimeter where the red wrapper edges do not meet.

- the water mark sticker is smaller and does not have a black plastic border around it as in the original, although it is embedded in black plastic.

- the type font appears slightly larger than the original

The above are the differences I have noted between this battery and the stock one I have. I have no other stock batteries to compare to. The Red wrapper appears to be exactly like the original. The differences concern me.

At first glance the batteries appear to be the same until you take a close look for comparison.

Do the differences I have notated also appear in other Stock OEM batteries, or are these difference indicative of a non OEM battery?
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
I have two stock batteries that came with different EVOs. One is the regular one with the wrapper that goes all the way around and the other is the one you described with the silver showing and part number ending in 25M. Depending on where you got it from, I would say it's legit.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Biker1:
Ok. Is the edge where the water sticker is the same as I described regarding the 25M cell?

I got it on eBay but the seller had a 100% rating with 1900 sales and 230 battery sales.

I messaged the guy regarding the issues, and am awaiting a response. I did mention that the cell appears to be a counterfeit, I may be wrong though.

I guess the 22M battery and the 25M batteries have some subtle differences.

The ad showed a pic and description of the 22M battery and I received a 25M which was why i was concerned.

The differences were subtle but enough to make me wonder, which is why I inquired here. It appears there are variances of the OEM cells as you have mentioned.

I have also seen around the web regarding the silver foils showing, etc.

I showed the battery to a Sprint Manager I know, and he thought it was fake, But he has not really seen any Evo 4G batteries anyway, and I showed him my stock battery for comparison, so I take his opinion with a grain of salt.
[EVO 4G Accessories] _MetalHead_:
My water sticker is smaller, and there is no plastic around it, here is a small cutout in the red sticker where the water sticker pokes through.

Just as a warning, there are a TON of fake OEM batteries on ebay. They look just like the OEM ones but they are counterfeit.

I use these batteries. They aren't true 2000mah batteries but they do last me about a half a day longer than the stock batteries. Been using them for 5 months now and I can wholeheartedly recommend them. They are easily the highest quality cheap ebay battery.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Biker1:
Thanks for that. Sounds like my 25M.

I found this on xda regarding the 22M and 25M batteries, but it seems the pics have been removed from the link >>

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=821173

Here is the link to the battery I purchased. Pic & description is that of a 22m though, which is what threw me off.

From experience, appears to be a solid seller >>

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140441582056&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT

Edit:

I just took a voltage reading of the 'new' battery and it read 3.42V

I installed it into my Evo, and the red LED was blinking. It went steady after a couple of minutes, and it was at 6% charged. I removed it from my Evo as I didn't want to possibly damage it.

The Li-ion battery I received was in a state of Complete Discharge, and is no longer viable.

New Li-ions are usually received @ 80% of capacity or thereabouts.

230 sold, so maybe I received the bad apple. Hmmmmm.............

I notified the seller and am awaiting a response.
[EVO 4G Accessories] Biker1:
The seller made good on the battery and exchanged it for the 22M.

I also had another 22M on order from fommy.com, BUT they shipped a 25M battery. And this was after I confirmed on the phone before ordering the battery that it would be the 22M version as per the site's pic and description.

I am returning it for a refund, But I am paying the return shipping :(

They better not charge me a restocking fee, as they shipped the wrong/not as described battery in the first place.

the 22 and the 25 are both legit. the very first EVOs came with the 25 and then they switched to the 22s. I have many of both models. personally i think the 25s are better but im sure its just in my head. you over paid though, you can get them on amazon for about 15 last time i ordered.
[EVO 4G Accessories] OneStepAhead:

[EVO 4G Accessories] subcypher:
I disagree. I bought two batteries that say Touch Pro 2 on them plus a wall charger on Ebay when I had a Hero. They cost me $9 and were shipped here from Hong Kong for free. They are still both working fine. You can now get three batteries plus a wall charger for $11 and free shipping. Hell, for that price I could replace them every year and be happy.
