[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffdaddy420:
no i didnt do that. lol

this is why im sooo nervous about flashing this rom...

cuz i read the instructions on the sticky forum and it seems straight forward...

then i start reading posts about how u need to back up nvdata, efs folders, now im hearing about android id changer....

im glad i didnt flash it yet, cuz i might have avoided a mistake!

Pretty much i just rooted my phone, backed up apps and data like said in the instructions on the sticky topic. I downloaded cognition rom...

and i am hesitant to proceed...

i dont want to make a serious mistake!!!

is this android id changer a nessisity?

i been reading all over the boards and it is confusing the hell out of me!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Deep breath

You are flashing a rom not recreating the wheel.

Android id changer is soo easy to use that it makes no sense not to back up your id. App is free, open it, save id, done.

How about you're contacts, have you backed them up? If you have an external sd, go to contacts, menu, export/import, save to sd

it is not hard, it just takes some reading and getting used to. In a month you will be flashing with your eyes closed.

If you want help along the way drop me a pm
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdahgary:
Hey mcord, since you're being so helpful, can you tell me why we should backup the android id? What is it used for?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Android id is a unique identifier for your phone. When you flash a custom rom it gets changed. It can cause some issues with downloading from the market, and some games identify your device using that id.

I have flashed and not restored my id without issues before, but it is real easy and is a way of troubleshooting before a problem happens
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xdahgary:
Thanks, now I know why the Chase app says your phone is not registered after flashing a new rom. lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
You can grab it if you go back to stock or if you have a nandroid of stock there is a way to get it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffdaddy420:
thanks mcord....so i dont need to worry about anything else then?

i backed up wit titaanium...all contacts are saved on my gmail...

i am goin to back up the id then ill proceeed with the flashing..

my main concern was the imei and stuff like that...but it doesnt seem like it will b an issue...

thanks buddy!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffdaddy420:
so i finally grew my balls and took a leap to install...

i decided to just jump right into it...

i did save my android id. but i didnt need it tho...

I just loaded clockwork recovery (skipped the odin step to set back to 2.1 since i was stock already)

Then i chose to install from sd.

loaded up the cogntion rom.

then went outside to smoke a cig.

by time i came back inside it said complete!

i was surprised it flashed it so quickly!

the long part was at the first boot when it started playing the "voices" at the att screen

so everything worked out great. i decided to manually install my apps rather than reload my titaniu backup restore. since i didnt want to reload the stupid att apps, and a bunch of other apps i downloaded and didnt care about.

so i spent all night setting up my 'new' phone!

so far so good...seems like everything is working good as of now. gps seems to work alot better than stock rom. i like the fact that i can turn it on/off as easily as wifi!

I love the new AP feature. i tested that one out too! to connect 5 comps to wifi via phone is so sweet.

Then i decided to run my battery down to 0 and fully charge while it was off.

so i ran it down to 17% and decided to go outside and watch an episode of How i met your mother on project free tv so i can take advantage of my new flash support which is sweet as hell too!!

So to sum it up, im glad i did this! i should have done this a long time ago. but my fear of bricking my phone/losing my phones unique settings prevented me of doing this. I did so much research and in reality it was alot easier than i expected!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] piffdaddy420:
Ok I have a lil concern with my battery life...

I calibrated as per instructions...

But my situation is that My display was like 75% of battery, and calls are 20%

But on stock rom it was always the opposite....Calls were always the highest percent (by far) and display was second... (the phone lasted aroud 8 hours before battery depleted)

Anyone know why the battery is drained alot more by display than with stock? thx
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
There could be a couple of things making that happen. First is 2.2 is faster than 2.1, so you're going to sees a little more drain from that, then there are the other things it could be. An app could be draining, a big thing could be the modem. If the modem you're using doesn't play well with your phone you could see big drains there, just from the phone trying to lock a decent signal.

I generally will easily get a day and a half out of a single charge with moderate to heavy use. If you're only during 8 hours, there is something going on there

[Epic 4G General] plapczyn:
So my external speaker stopped working properly after my alarm went off yesterday. Now it sounds like I'm talking to tech support in India using a Barbie walkie-talkie as a speakerphone. I think it's blown. Being the industrious engineer type, I took the whole phone apart to try to see if something rattled loose. No luck, but I did have fun going to a meeting at working with a pile of disassembled components for a cellphone. I think my external speaker is probably blown. It should be noted that I was using the ViperRom volume hack at the time (I've since removed it from Nebula Rom just in case that was the issue). I really doubt it is the root cause of the issue because it wasn't at full volume, and I rarely use the speaker for any prolonged duration other than alarms, notifications, ringtones. This is just a cautionary tale, a boombox is not a toy. Samsung said 6 business days for a turnaround on the RMA. Ugh. I might have to pay the bastards at Sprint for their $35 "convenience" charge. They conveniently bend me over on a legitimate warranty claim, or I don't have a phone for my business for over a week. I'll tell you what, I have never had a problem with the speaker on my iPod/iPad not working after 3+ months. Thank you Mr. Steve Jobs. You must be a genius for creating these magical products solely by yourself, crafted skillfully out of love and rainbows. Without this (and sacrificing unicorns), I can understand why the competition has such a hard time creating a device who's external speaker can withstand normal use for 3 months.

Long story short, my phone has DI18 stock on it right now. Wow does that make me sad. What's worse is that I couldn't find the 13th windows 95 floppy so I could install ODIN.
[Epic 4G General] betterment66:
this happened 2 me once

and all samsung could say was to get me the repair going on but i had the full protection from s;rint so i just got a new phone at a cost of a hundred bucks of course
[Epic 4G General] brian2220:
i dont think anyone can make external speakers like apple :p

i have a mac and an ipod and the sound amazing

hope your epic gets fixed soon
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
You probably can just replace the speaker yourself

If you have the time and patience you can just order the original OEM part from ebay. Just search for "New OEM Samsung Epic Speaker Replacement" and they're like $13

Hope this helps.
[Epic 4G General] aleph23:
It'd be nice if there was a speaker upgrade.

I had a blackberry 9000 (bold) before this phone. Had it for two years. The external speaker on it was amazing. Blew Iphones away. It actually had legitimate bass response. If RIM can do it, seems like Samsung should be able to too.

But then have you seen samsung's new led tvs? Awful picture!
[Epic 4G General] jimmythegent:
Same thing happened to me. I wasn't using any volume hacks or anything like that... it just blew when my alarm went off.

Took it to the nearest sprint store and they didn't have the part so they called the only nearby sprint store that, according to their online inventory, did have it. On the phone, they confirmed that they had it so I drove another 30 minutes to get there. Finally, they take my phone, disassemble it, and realize that they don't actually have the part. They had a samsung moment speaker.

I took my phone and had to come back a week later when the part finally came in...
[Epic 4G General] Xerloq:
Happened to mine too. Sprint store fixed it. That was before the TAP policy change.

Looks like the DIY replacement is the cheapest way to go.
[Epic 4G General] DroidApprentice:
After a phone lockup and rare battery pull this morning I thought this had happened too. The "beep" when turning volume to full was distorted and super loud, while ringtones were faint and almost inaudible. After a few minutes it stopped once I played a youtube video, but I'm puzzled and wondering if this will happen to me as well...
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
What is it with all these blown speakers? Are the speakers they use that much ****ty?

[Epic 4G General] InhumanElmo:
Mine did this the other day. When i was charging the phone while plugged into my computer and I got a phone call, after the phone call was over everything sounded really bad. All my system sounds were distorted and loud. Even the shutdown sounds were crazy. After a reboot though it sounded normal. I've recreated it when im plugged into my computer, but on the regular samsung charger it doesn't do it. Weird...
[Epic 4G General] zlyons:
My phone did this last week. I haven't taken it in yet. Sounds like somebody needs to get a class action going.
[Epic 4G General] JulianUF:
Happened to me a while ago, made a topic about it: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=885296

Not sure if it's the exact same problem, all of my media-type sounds were just making static noise, and I had to get the phone replaced.

I didn't have insurance, so it cost me $35, not a big deal. Except that the replacement phone had issues with the capacitive buttons not being very responsive, and they wanted to charge me ANOTHER $35 to get that fixed, when I brought it back in the next day, wtf! Luckily, they waived it just that one time, and I haven't had any issues since. (crosses fingers)
[Epic 4G General] Mushmaster:
1. Isn't it common for manufacturer warranties to be honored by the manufacturer and not the reseller?

2. Doesn't Samsung make 8 million different phone models a year while Stevie and the Rainbows make 1?

3. Are you serious about the 13th floppy?
[Epic 4G General] Darkk69:
Firmware?

Is this happening with stock D18 firmware, modded or stock Froyo?

So far it hasn't happened to me with the stock D18 firmware so I am curious.
[Epic 4G General] plapczyn:
1) Yup. It is. But since phones are tied to a service they traditionally were covered by the service provider. This was the case with Sprint until recent changes.

2) True, but a speaker, really? I've NEVER had a phone speaker stop working on ANY phone that I have ever had. Perhaps I was just lucky. But I pretty much only use the thing for ringtones and alarms. I barely ever even use speakerphone.

3) Na. That was a joke. I have Vista...but using it is comparable to my 13th disk analogy.

I took one of the posters suggestions and bought a replacement oem speaker. For the record, Samsung was very considerate about the problem and issued an RMA right away. I just don't want to deal with not having a phone for over a week.
[Epic 4G General] futureprospect:
Do you mind sharing where you bought your external speaker and how you went about replacing it?
[Epic 4G General] Marlinsfan88:
ya ive been had the crackling noise in my speaker for a while now. its serioulsy horrible. gonna take it to a sprint store for the free repair since i have insurance but im wondering if i can use an external speaker from a different device for better quality. givin id have to afro engineer it, still think its worth the time as opposed to replacing the crappy speaker every 3-6 months cuz it blows from regular usage. ive had quite a few people come to my work with the epic complaining about the same thing that have been on stock since day 1 so it obviously a hardware issue in its own.

I just installed the CM 6.1.1 ROM and have everything updated and running the way I want it to: Other than MyAccount (and WiFi Calling).

Is there a way to get MyAccount to recognize the SIM card number, that way it can pull my account information? I tend to rely on this app greatly for not going over minutes.

If anyone has any ideas, that would be great!

Thanks!
[myTouch 3G Slide General] aaldiar:
I've never had any troubles with the MyAccount app on any of the CM ROMs. What is it doing? Does it simply hang there in search mode looking up your account info? If so I would make sure that in Application Management the app be removed from the SD card entirely and run it in system completely, MyAccount and Visual Voicemail tend to run smoothly like that.

I rooted my Dx some time ago and removed the standard bloatware.

The one that I can't get rid of is that damned motohelper installer that pops up on my pc when I plug in my phone. It seems like it would be an 8mb ISO somewhere in /system/ but after spending WAY too much browsing everywhere that seemed meaningful I've got nothing.

dialing ##program doesn't show me the features option on 2.2.1 the same way that the incredible does. bummer.

just edit this line in the build.prop:

change it to 0

[Droid X General] infazzdar:
Then, in theory, you should be able to delete/format the partition using something along the lines of GParted.

I don't know what effects this would have on the phone though. I assume it wouldn't brick; however, I guess it would have to be tested to know for sure.

Would an SBF restore this CD partition if the phone did brick?
[Droid X General] bravo1234:
I am sure you can just kill it by disabling autorun on your windows. Sure it will kill it for everything, but that is why the setup.exe was invented. :)
[Droid X General] openbox9:
The concern isn't with preventing the image from mounting on a computer, that's easy to remedy, either by disabling autorun for Windows and/or enabling USB debugging mode on the DX. The crux of the issue is mounting my DX on my car stereo. USB debugging doesn't appear to help "fix" that situation :(
[Droid X General] dwray:

I have sucessfully installed MAGLDR 1.10 and flashed CyanogenMod7_v.2.6_NAND_A2SD to my HTC HD2. The phone works 100% Appz/ voice calls/ messaging/ internet/ videos/ Nothing was wrong for about 1 week. Now my phone cannot make any Voice calls and I get terrible T-mobile signal where I usually get all bars Full. When I try to make voice calls it would connect to the other person I am trying to talk to but I cannot hear them and they cannot hear me. Then the phone gives me an error code.

You can get radios over on the WM6.5 ROM development forum (or click the radio link in my signature ;)). Switch phone off, hold vol down and switch phone on - you will boot into bootloader mode. Connect to pc and when usb shows on phone screen flash the radio as you would flash a winmo rom.

No, it will have no impact on the NAND rom or magldr. Just go to bootloader, flash the rom and then the phone will reboot and boot back to your Android rom. Just make sure that you flash a radio with a 50 in the naming convention (not 51) and it must be at least 2.08.50.xx or higher.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] KennethL1:
It's under res/values-XX where XX is the language code. However looking at LocalePicker.smali there is something that looks like it's checking the flex.db/flex.xml (found under /system/etc/flex) for a region code and in my rom the region code in flex.xml is 6 (MEA) which is most likely the limiting factor to which languages are available.

Hey Android world,

I want to connect my MT4G through my works internet connection via USB.

I work at a nuclear plant with a lot of metal inside resulting in no service. I would like to have a fully functional phone via my works internet connection. Our computer systems at the plant do not have wireless cards and it is impossible to create an ADHOC network. Also, additional software is not allowed to be installed on the computer due to strict system admin rights.

Is there an app or setting out there that can allow me to preform this function?

Please help.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Triketra:
as far as I know IMHO there currently is no app out there that can help you. But if your local System Admins don't mind a side step in the internet connection at your work I would suggest using a wireless router, preferably one that you can use LAN and Wifi, that way your computer stays connected and YOU stay connected to your life using wifi and wifi calling. bout the best answer I can give you bud. and the router shouldn't require any extra software to be installed on the computer therefor bypassing your strict Comp Admin Rights. Hope this helps ya a bit!
