I ended up using a different app to unlock my vibrant. I did it all through the phone, without having to connect it to my pc. It took few minutes. Anyway, thanks for the response. BTW: im not feeling the pink on your car lol ;)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] caffeinated chris:
u sonofabch hahaha

what did you use? an update.zip file into the clockwork recovery / rom manager?
[Click General] yatindroid:
redownload file may be corrupted

if u can enter hboot ( as expecting after view pic ur phone on hboot ) try this

there is a ROM.zip in temp folder where from ruu setup running ( in task manager goto process than goto open file location ) copy that zip rename as CLICIMG.zip put on SD reboot hboot than goto fastboot if file ok your stock ROM will install

Hello there, I've been looking all over and can't find any solution, my kaiser's earpiece won't work, teh speaker's working fine but no sound is coming out of the earpiece.. hope somebody can help me.. thanks..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
you try to check the cable connecting the speaker , maybe broken or not connected correctly...;)

if allowed know what radio version do you use on your device ?? :confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcausaren:
I'm very eager to open it and check the connection/s but still hoping that it's just a radio problem, tried changing to other versions.. right now radio-1.65.16.25 is installed on my device.. is there a way to find out what's the original radio for my TyTN-II? p/n= 99HCY140-00. thanks.. hope we can figure this one out..:)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] myc:
I can confirm ear piece does not have any cable. Maybe is just poor contact after all the years. Just a simple contact cleaning may just do if you are taking it apart DIY with reference to the service manual.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcausaren:
Thanks.. will have to do it once got plenty of spare time:D will upddate later..thanks guys..:cool:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcausaren:
How would you know the original ROM & radio shipped with the TyTN-II? the part# of my unit is 99HCY140-00..
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Hakim Rahman:
sorry a typo, actually that's not the intent of my question ;)

I just want to know from the radio version that you use on your device today ??:confused:
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] kcausaren:
I'm using 1.65.16.25 right now.. I can't seem to find the original ROM for KAISER 140.. do you know where can I find it?:confused:

This comes to me as a suprise and i am not sure if this is just my phone or the way WP7 works. when receiving an email with an attachment an wanting to forward it to someone else it seems I have to tap on the paper clip and download the attachment first then i can forward it to someone else or it will not send the attachment. in winmo 6.5 you could set to auto download attachments so they would be available. is this the way it works for all WP7 phones?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
That should depend on the type of server you are using. I may be wrong, but only Exchange has this capability.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Do you know if there a reg edit to make your email attachments auto download? like in 6.5?
[Windows Phone 7 General] vangrieg:
I don't think it's possible, at least I've never heard about it.

Since all my accounts are Exchange (you know that both Hotmail and Gmail offer this for free, don't you?) I don't even need this. When you forward a message on Exchange, you don't need to download attachments to the phone, they will be added by the server automagically. In addition to push mail of course.

I know this is not an answer to your question, sorry, just something you might want to consider.
[Windows Phone 7 General] rruffman:
Yes but my email address have my own domain so not sure wha i can do i heard there are exchange services you can pay for per month do you know of these? or can you use your own email address with hotmail?

thank you

I don't want to flash a ROM quite yet, just looking to upgrade Gmail.

Shoot a pm or a link if u can.

Thanks ladies....and gentlemen...
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] moos3y:
Wouldn't you find the new Gmail app under the Market?

If not then try going into Froshedyo because I know he has the latest gapps out to download and flash

Try this:

Recovery Mode

Wipe dalvik cache

Flash Froshedyo's gapps under Vanilla (gapps-mdpi-20101218-signed.zip)

Reboot

You do know that the upgraded Gmail only works on Froyo, right? If you got a replacement Eris and haven't flashed a ROM yet, then you're running on 2.1 (Eclair) and you won't find the upgraded Gmail in the Market.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
Ok so Here's the deal

When I flash a rom I charge the phone till it hits 100%. I then reset the battery stats and go on about my day. With in a few minutes of being off the charger my battery has now dropped down to about 96 %. I do realize that batteries do not stay at 100% but this is crazy. I've only deep cycled my battery once for fear that it may damage my battery.

I Am using Teamwhiskeys ultra awesome bionix-v rom with ttabals oc kernal. I know I am to expect a slightly more rapid drain but this is crazy. I have even tried to lower the vcore and I slowed down the cpu to 800mhz. It still drains just as fast.

The odd thing to me is If i turn my phone off and let it fully charge to 100 percent reset stats then turn on phone It will show full for a minute then drop down to to 96 or 95 percent.

I personally think my battery is damaged but spare parts shows that it is ok.

So i am rather confused by this .

I know I should probably use the stock kernal but it seems like its just as bad with that.

I have looked at the threads about battery life and I am not expecting it to be amazing just hoping it will be ok!

Tell me what ya think !

mt battery play tricks on me too when my phone doesent see that im lookin at it it shows 90 when i look at it and phone notice it bounces to 85 like it hates me , lol but dont take my words for it :pP
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Alex530:
Spare parts would show that too. I remember when I had my G1 spare parts would tell me it was fine. But a 3 hour full battery doesn't seem fine does it? Id suggest getting it replaced.

Ill probably nurse it... but I am having major ocd type problems about it.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Br1cK'd:
I cannot stress this part enough, so I'm putting at the top, do not do the following often, as it can have a negative effect on Li batteries if done too much.

You want to try what is known as a bump charge. With your phone off, charge to 100 percent. You will see the green battery icon with "100" on it once it reaches full. Unplug from the charger for a minute, then plug it back in, phone still off, and let it reach 100 again. If you want you can do this a third time, do keep in mind, bump charging too much or with any type of frequency can have negative effects on your battery, but doing it once in a great great while helps with with what you are experiencing.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hazard99:
thanks Br1cK'd and those who replied.

I have tried the bump charging method. I am affraid that my efforts to repair my battery are causing it more harm than good.

ok i just restored bionix v and had it charge to 100 percent

spare parts says

battery level 100

battery scale 100

battery health good

battery voltage says 4243mv

battery temp 30.0
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
There is one thing you are messing up. If you flash your phone on a 100% charge then you DO NOT need to wipe battery stats. You only have to wipe battery stats if you flash when your battery is not at 100%!
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
It's not out of the ordinary for a battery indicator to show a few percent drop rather quickly on a LiIon battery. Secondly you should take a battery indicator with a rather large grain of salt. Expecting precision in single digit percentages from the indicator is unrealistic and nearly impossible to rely on given the nature of discharge of a battery. Batteries do not charge or discharge in a linear manner, and people do not use battery powered devices in a linear way either.

It is a visual guide, not a precise and accurate indicator. Many custom roms have a percent accurate indicator, but don't mistake this with being dead-on accurate. It is merely an attempt to make it a BETTER visual GUIDE.

To evaluate battery life properly is moderately time consuming, though rather obvious. Use your device as you would normally. Pay attention to how long it stays charged. If it's not staying alive for a reasonable amount of time (12-24 hours depending on what you are doing of course), then it's time to dig deeper. Apps that wake up and generate unnecessary Partial Wake usage, a lot of background application syncing or apps with short sync intervals, being in an area with poor data/voice signal....these are the usual culprits.

Apart from situations where people are playing around with experimental kernels (i9000 derived kernels tend to vampirically drain battery a few percent an hour regardless), the things that drain your battery are....things that "use" your phone. The more you do (and the more your phone is doing with your permission while it's in your pocket) the less battery you will have.

In the end it comes down to asking yourself some questions. Do you need to automatically update facebook, myspace, twitter feeds constantly when you can manually update them and be inconvenienced by a 10-20 second wait? Do you really need to update 35 rss feeds in Google Reader?

Most people's power related issues come down to three things.

1). Apps that wake up without your knowledge and waste battery for no good reason (I'm looking at you Media Hub!!)

2).All those other apps and widgets that are updating inside your pocket when your not reading, watching, or caring about them.

3). Being in an area with poor data/voice signal, forcing your phone to "hunt" excessively for a better connection.

Apps that wake up and do god knows what without your knowledge can either be removed, disabled, or frozen. Examining partial wake usage can give you insight into what may be going on in that scenario. Apps can be "Frozen" with Titanium Backup Pro (paid) or App Freezer (free).

The other part that is within your control are all the apps/widgets you actively use, and your decisions about how often (or even if) they update themselves.
[Galaxy Tab General] bdl1969:
You can flash straight to JMG from JJ3 fine. If you look in the JMG thread in the Tab development forum, on page 3 (I think) I've posted a link to a stock JMG package which contains everything you need but doesn't contain bootloaders. Don't use the link Chainfire posted in the first post as it doesn't have dbdata.rfs included in the package and your Tab probably won't boot if you flash that. I'm sure you've seen the threads about bootloaders but just as a reminder, beware of flashing any ROM that may contain them as you could hard brick your phone if the flash goes wrong.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sLiKK:
This is the second time I flashed Concoction's theme and every time I flash it my 'dialer' button stops working. Im using Launcher Pro. I rebooted several times but it was still the same. When I press the dialer button..it says "couldnt launch the activity". I tried to restore the Nero theme with a 'restore Nero theme' file I had downloaded previously from Slightly Better Gingerbread's OP post. But it didnt do anything at all...and my phone started taking alot of time to boot up. I then flashed BlackGinger theme but the dialer button still isnt working.

All this happened a week ago . I followed the steps I mentioned above and at last I had to re flash Nero. Right now, I would like to restore my original theme than to reflash Nero again due to school work.

Thanks in advance.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Monk4Life:
You should have made a backup before doing any of this flashing. You have flashed so many different things that you most likely wont get the error to stop. Next time make a backup so if this happens you can restore.

If you open Rom Manager go to manage and restore backups, your backup should be listed. Then just click and click restore. Your phone will reboot and start restoring.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Hi,

I'm researching flashing via CWR, ROM over ROM without flashing to Stock via ODIN. Specifically, I'm at Cog 3.02 with "base" Cognition Kernel/Modem thinking about going to Andromeda...both employ Voodoo/EXT4, so shouldn't need to disable lagfix (I think?)...

I read at this link (apologies for spaces, but I'm new so can't post actual links): h t t p : / / xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=900463

a spirited debate starting about page 4 that flashing to ODIN is effectively doubling your chances for a bad flash, and that recovering a bad flash via CWM is far easier (just try re-flash again...and again(?) until fail back to trying ODIN) than recovering a bad ODIN flash.

If that's true, what prep should I do first via CWR?

1. Andromeda says requires wipe, does ROM install do this or do I do it via CWR first (wipe data/factory reset in recovery)? How 'deep' is a wipe...what do I need to save prior to this?

2. Wipe Dalvik Cache and/or wipe cache partition?

3. Save /efs folder?

4. Aside from TiBu backup to PC, am I missing anything else to save? I forgot to save my Android ID on my first flash, so it's my understanding I can only get that back via flash to Stock...I'd prefer to only go to ODIN if I have to.

Another question I had was regarding nandroid. I made a nandroid backup right after flashing to Cog. Do I really even need this? Since I haven't changed kernel/modem, wouldn't I be better off just flashing my initial Cog zip file?

Finally thanks to all who make this site kick_ss. Connexion2005's videos are indispensable for a newbie like me. People actually answer questions here, and the Devs suceed in delivering onto us a wolf in (out of the box) sheep's clothing...something AT&T and Samsung have failed to do.

Cognition 3.02 is my first and only custom ROM and DG, you have literally saved me from making my phone a brick the old fashioned way: throwing it against a wall. Running flawlessly since Jan 17th...at the same time, I am eager to see what else is out there, ***safely*** as possible.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
Since they are both ext 4 you should be ok.

The rom wipes, I clear davlik cache before flash and after, but there our no good reason as to why

Efs files, do you use kies? If so you may want to back them up, if not don't worry, I have never backed then up

Odin flash is not needed but my opinion is you should know how to use odin prior to flashing. Why panic to figure it out if something goes wrong,?

NANDROID only needed if youare going back to cog and after you have flushed the rom you want to restore settings

I think I got everything you asked
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Thank you.

So really just the Dalvik cache wipe in CWR prior to.

Kies...soooo failed ever getting that working, and don't seem to need it.

Yeah I actually flashed ODIN1 unnecessarily prior to my flash to Cog. I was at stock and somehow thought ADW would mess it up...rook. I have build 1006 so good to know ODIN's there if I need it.

Re: Nandroid, but if I kept the initial zip for my flash to Cog wouldn't I just use that? Or does Nandroid do better job of ensuring good flash back to what I have right now?

Not familiar with flushing...Would I be able to restore Nandroid directly on top of ROM I'm switching off of?

Thanks again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
OP,

You'd double the chance of failure if all else were equal. I don't have statistics, but I have no doubt that failures happen far more often with odin flashes, though.

The ROM install script does the wipe. This simply means all your apps and data will be erased (your pictures and anything on the internal and any external sdcard will not be deleted).

I never wipe the dalvik cache or cache partition before flashing. I only do that if I'm having issues like FCs (sometimes happens after a bad theme install, for example).

You probably should have backed up /efs before flashing anything, but that's not to say a backup now isn't a good idea. You only need to do this once.

If I recall, you do need to flash 2.1 to get the ID back. I'm not 100% sure there isn't another way.

WRT the nadroid backup, you don't really need it. What I do is keep 2 or 3 good CWM flashable ROMs and the CWM update.zip on my sdcard in case of problems. I also keep TiBU backup of my stuff there (which I also occasionally backup to my PC just in case my sdcard gets wiped for some reason).

One thing I would suggest is to be sure you have working button combos in case you ever need download mode (hopefully you never will, but it's always possible). If you don't have that, there is a clockwork flashable fix or you could just flash cognition or perception once and then flash whatever you want over them (you can do both flashes all without ever leaving recovery). That should fix the button combos since DG's ROMs include a good sbl.bin (I'm not a fan of that inclusion, but it is useful in this case). Since you are running Cog, I assume your download mode is already working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Thanks opcow.

Yeah I made sure I could get into d/l and recovery mode with button combos before I even rooted.

So would you ever use a Nandroid backup if you added a different kernel/modem to a ROM? Or would you just go back to the initial zip and SGS Kernel to flash kernel/modem? I haven't done kernel flash...yet...:cool:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] opcow:
If the ROM you were running when you backed up is compatible with the new kernel then I don't see why there would be a problem. I don't do it, myself, but I'm not sure why. Maybe it's because I have the paid TiBU and I just use that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Thanks again...

Yeah I bought full TiBu, so obviously that should work for the apps/data.

Did some more digging tonight and apparently Nandroid backup is ROM only, not Kernel...So seemingly would need to be on same Kernel at least to do proper Nandroid restore.

...that being the case, I guess I don't understand why people stress importance of running a Nandroid prior to and/or post ROM flash...am I missing something?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:
If you like a rom and set everything up but want to try another doing a nandroid allows you to restore once you flash the rom again.

Also good to run nandroid on new flash, so if you play with themes and something goes wrong you can restore
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
That makes sense.

Showing me newbie-ness since I haven't played around with themes yet...

...Figured I'd at least get 2nd ROM flash out the shoot before playing with kernels, modems or themes...

This thread is helpful for me. I appreciate your time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
This is along the lines of the question that I was going to post so figured would ask here. I too am considering trying out the new Andromeda. I am currently using Cog 3.04 and want to test out the new Andromeda. The TiBu I have right now is from when i was on stock as I just recently purchased this and Cog was my first flash.. Would i want to continue to use that backup when i flash to andromeda, or would it be better to run a full backup with tibu while cog is on there and then flash to andromeda and use the cog backup??

also,, from above, i could possibly just skip the step with odin and go straight to andromeda? or do I need to run odin and put it back to stock before going over to andromeda?

thanks

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
Hey Zug,

Just flashed andromeda last night via method outlined above...did not revert to stock at all (no odin). Only issue thus far is market only showing very few installed apps under 'My Apps', but I think this is a common issue. Will research solution tonight (I did have some issues getting back all apps from TiBu, but after I restored missing apps twice and rebooted a few times they all appear to be back). Also my simi clock widget comes and goes, not sure why...might clear dalvik cache to see if that helps.

Regarding TiBu, it saves apps and data. It is not ROM specific...you just back it up, then after you flash new ROM you restore missing apps with data (do NOT restore system data).

EDIT: Resolved the My Apps Market issue (only a few were showing after flash) by going to Settings, Applications, Manage, go to Market, Clear Data, reboot. Search is my friend. :cool:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
Thanks Madtowndave.. i might give that a try.. so, since my phone is rooted and what not, i can just go to the guide and start at the portion about puting the new rom on the sd card, rebooting it and what not in recovery and select that zip and flash it right ? (well condensed version of course) and it should all be good?? guessing if this fails can always use the odin and wipe it and go back?

since i added a few new apps, guessing then that i should use tibu and go ahead and reback up everything since this rom does the master clear and then reload them right?? and hate to ask.. but how do I do the nandroid? newbie still to android and i know that just backs up the rom, but is it a app to dl from market? was fishing around in phone and didnt quite see it yet. .but figured i would do a nandroid in case i want to go back to cog.. this smart?

thnx again

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Madtowndave:
I think most of your questions are answered by others in this thread...

One thing I noticed last night is that I only got red (voodoo) cwm recovery menu via 3 button or long press power and reboot to recovery...when I rebooted to recovery via ROM Manager, I got the green cwm recovery menu. Not sure if this matters, but in another forum (on Vibrant phone, our sgs cousin), they said to flash ROM via the red voodoo cwm menu (since cog and andromeda both employ voodoo you can leave it enabled).

Nandroid backup you can do either from ROM manager or in cwm recovery...

Also andromeda wipes the system data, not a master clear...your data on 16 gig internal memory should not be affected, but is very good idea to backup everything to pc per the flash custom ROM guide.
