[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Really? Nobody uses their Captivate as a phone?

I have downloaded KP1 and JL2 and will try them this weekend I think, but I cant be the only one living in BFE that has this snazzy phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Someone may be interested in my test so far so i will continue to talk to myself here. :)

I switched from the JK4 to the JL2 modem and have had a dramatic difference in signal bars. I now get a bar or two at the ski resort base where as before I never had anything. It reads 'emergency calls only' instead of 'no service'.

I still cant send any texts out and am unsure if I would be able to receive any. I think the phone needs to ping both ways to get a text.

I am unsure if the 'signal bars' mean anything about the sensitivity of the modem but its interesting that I get them now.

Next time I will try the KP1 modem for the weekend.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ridethelight:
Im in southwest USA and the UGL2 modem works wonders for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mengbo:
what about the battery for jl2 and jk4, can you compare them as well?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Clienterror:
Just a word of advice, make sure you check the actual signal strength (db) because bars can lie badly. The only reason I say this is because it "says" you have more bars but you still can't text sounds kinda like you're getting an over exaggerated bar signal strength.

Just my .02 :-)

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Is there a *# code that will read out your actual signal strenght? I have SGS Tools installed and can use it to get to that information if you know were its at?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I carry 2 spare batteries and swap them out as needed so I am not sure about battery life. At the ski resort it pretty bad but probably due to the constant wifi usage more than anything.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cwgannon:
You can get your signal strength (measured in dBm, so you want a lower number) in Settings, About Phone, Status.

The service mode accessed via *#0011# will also show you that signal strength, as well as some more info. (RSCP, received signal code power, corresponds to signal strength in the Status menu above.)

Good luck.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TheDude:
sgs tools provides more than information... Its a shortcut to all your hardware codes. I'm in batch 1007 and when I flash stock ---> custom rom... I always have Data issues. JK4 modem Serendipity Speedmod... Toggle my bands and for some weird reason my WAP jumps from stock New York WAP to a more local WAP (Kansas or Chicago) and my Data goes wild (latency lowers dramatically and speeds return to normal)... Otherwise my phone is a paper weight.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
So I flashed the ZNKP1 modem this weekend and tried it out. It seems about the same as the last modem. However I did notice something interesting with it.

At the lodge I get full bars and no service! It will hook up to what I assume is the tmobile network? The signal shows -95dbm and 6 asu but the service state says out of service.

I am guessing that might be why I can get signal bars on some of the lifts but be unable to send or receive calls or texts.

I had been under the impression that the signal bars were only for networks that were usable but I guess that is not really the case.

Is this a function of the modem not being stock or is it always going to pick up and show unusable signals?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Theodor911:
I've tried and tested just about every modem, and I always come back to JK3. For me it has the best battery life and reception. GPS is also important for me, so this one seems to do the trick (with Adam's GPS fix).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movielover76:
JL2

The new JL2 modem works best for me, drops less calls than JK4

and consitantly has more bars.

Also my gps works better with JL2, my captivate is revision 1007
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
I switched my ROM to Cog 4.1 so I will have to see how it works for me at the resort next time I go.

But does anyone have any clue about the signal bars indication I mentioned? Full bars but on the wrong network?

Is that something I have never noticed before, or something to do with flashing different modems?
[Captivate General] hamburgertrain:
Okay so I'm getting my phone sent in to Samsung to be repaired, and the support person i called listed my product symptoms as : Android/Application/Application Freezing. I'm sending it in for sleep death, will they fix what needs to be fixed or did he write it up wrong? I thought it should be listed as Power/Intermittent Shutdown or something.
[Captivate General] norcal einstein:
Why don't you just call them back and ask?
[Captivate General] hamburgertrain:
It seems I can never get a straight answer, he told me not to worry about it but i don't think he understood what i said.
[Captivate General] opcow:
Sounds wrong. I would call back.
[Captivate General] nickm50:

They will check what he put in his notes, and if he entered them wrong and they don't know what to look for, they will send it back to you as working.

They have to be able to reproduce the problem to send you a new one.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Y49Si:
So all my work faxes come to my G2 via e-mail through outlook but they are .tif files. I have searched through the market but have been unsuccesful to find a viewer...any suggestions?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] daaango:
If you can't find a tiff viewer, there's always TIFF2PDF on the market. It might be a hassle to always convert it to open it, but meh...

I also heard gmail preview works on .tiff ...?
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] TDF_Software:
Try "Fast Image Viewer Free" in the Android market. It does a good job with TIFF and can display animated GIF and others...
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] Y49Si:

[Epic 4G General] Beezer80:
I've tried Fring and had choppy results. I've also tried Tango with minimal success. What's the opinion of the board as to what the best video chat solution is? I have WiFi and 3G/4G available to me so take that into consideration in that bandwidth isn't a problem. Ideally I'd like to be able to chat with my buddy in Spain via my phone to him on his computer. Thanks in advance.
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
2.2 and yahoo video worked flawless for me.
[Epic 4G General] knyque:
ooVoo works well for me. It has both desktop & phone apps, and is free. I'm on rooted stock DI18, but it should work on anything.
[Epic 4G General] Beezer80:
I forgot to mention that free is the only option. :)
[Epic 4G General] apatcas:
Well use Yahoo messenger then, both desktop and mobile do video calling but only on froyo. Anyway from what i can figure Yahoo has the most bandwidth for it because it's been working great for me with low 3g
[Epic 4G General] Beezer80:
Good looking out. I'll gve it a shot.
[Epic 4G General] musclehead84:
thyat was a good question cause ive tried tango, qik, and fring and they all suck. never tried yahoo messenger though

[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I wasn't being a douche I was just playing

Video callin isn't gonna be practical until its baked into the os. Even winmo 6.5 has a video call option! I hope 2.4 has it baked in...

My friends nokia that he bought from a european store downtown had a video calling feature in the call menu...and this was in '08 lol
[Epic 4G General] othan1:
Second for this one. It's a much smaller footprint and better, faster video than yahoo is. The FFC rotation works the way it should, too.
[Epic 4G General] maghig:
The biggest question for what video chat to use is what your friends and family are using. I've spent years trying to get my parents and siblings to figure skype out and am finally getting some progress. Trying to get them to switch to yahoo or some other jazz would be impossible.

Google talk really needs to come out with video support on desktop, browser and mobile. I think they would be comfortable with that.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] tcpsyn:
I built my first java/android app today to force recalibration of the NC.

It's very basic and has a few issues. (mainly, it requests su rights twice, which annoys me)

Are there any devs available to help mentor me a bit to get this out.

I'm not sure how to do basic stuff, like check to see if you're on an NC first, or check to see if you're rooted.

I have php experience, and basic OO concepts, but I need some help to get my hands around android dev.

Thanks,

here's what i usually do if i have any issues... Load up android... go into your settings and storage. Unmount your SD card, then "format" it using the option in the settings. Once its complete. Remount... then reboot your phone.

Also if it won't let you remount, just reboot your phone after formatting completes, then remount it and reboot again.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] berbecverde:
If you have MAGLDR installed then you can not charge the battery when the phone is off.:(

You should try to charge the battery using an external charger.

Edit: If you have a friend with HD2 and windows Mobile 6.5 then you could use the phone to charge you battery.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] StephanV:
Wrong, you can charge it while it's off.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] samsamuel:
really? are you sure? because there are a lot of references to the magldr bug that wont allow charging (or even powering on without pulling the battery) if you try to charge with the phone turned off.

well i tried to charge for the last 2 hours nothing tried to remove battery nothing. Iam going to try and find a charged battery to see if the phone mite turn on or something. ill post later to let yall know what happen tho. thanks for the help.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Sukuya:
what are you guys fighting about man, they just updated the magldr v1.3 and yeah we can now charge the phone while its off
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MattOG:
Wrong x2.

1. No one is fighting.

2. With new magldr, phone turns itself on when plugged in. Charging when off is not possible. The battery requires management which is only implemented in software. It may hold a small charge if you have magldr installed, but it won't charge fully, or properly. Also, it's not likely he's got the new magldr if he's returning back to windows.

Lastly, for the OP, what method did you use to return to winmo? And which winmo rom did you use?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] berbecverde:
Find a way to charge your battery and everything it's going to be just fine.Your phone it is going to work.:)

I'm new here so basically with new 1.13 or later phone can't be charging if it's not turned on?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] MattOG:
Read? Phone turns itself on if you connect a charger. Phone has NEVER charged while off with nand. This way at least you don't have to pull the battery to turn the phone on.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] datas0ft:
Just in case: If you on same situation that described on first post try this:

Q: If you completely run down the battery, would you be able to charge it with the phone again?

A: If your battery is dead, press and hold Vol Down and plug in USB cable / charger at same time. Phone will boot into bootloader and charge there just fine. Leave for 20 mins, pull battery, reboot and charge normally. If phone has just run down, plugging in the charger will usually turn it on.

Its found on one NAND thread and goals goes to g.lewarne

Actually i was on same situation and this helped on first try.

ok i bought another phone and i took out the charged battery from it and put it in the bricked HTC and it does nothing. now i know it was almost reverted back and i think the battery ran down but Iam not completely sure but maybe it could have been in the reverting software i used and maybe it just like lock up or something cause at that point you couldnt see the battery indicator. now i guess ill just have to sell on ebay for parts but it would be cool to try and un-brick it or try and figure it out.
[Fascinate Android Development] drod2169:
This should remove the data throttle cap for the new DL30 Leak

**THIS SHOULD ONLY BE FLASHED OVER THE LEAK OR ANY ROMS BASED OFF THE LEAK, NOT ANY THEMES. IF FLASHED OVER A THEME, IT COULD POTENTIALLY CAUSE A BOOTLOOP, OR BREAK THE CHANGES THE THEMER MADE. YOU'VE BEEN WARNED**

..::..Data Service Governer Killer..::..

1. What does this do?

This is a modification to the services.jar framework file, that allows you to have an un-throttled internet.

2. Will this make my internet faster?

Yes and No. This will not "Upgrade" your internet. This only takes the trottle off, so you can download, or play games and not have to worry about it hitting a certain peak and lagging from that point on. It doesn't provide you with a new internet, only a warm fuzzy feeling from knowing you don't have to worry about it capping off.

3. If I flash this, will it break my phone?

If it did, yours would be the first case I heard of. I've personally flashed it NUMEROUS times.

4. Will this work on any ROM?

Yes. This is not based off a particular ROM, and can be used with ANY Fascinate ROM. ALTHOUGH If you're Dev has made changes to the services.jar file, this could wipe those changes out. If you are unsure, send me your services.jar file, and i will look for you. Hopefully, i'll be able to make a download list in a couple days with all the Dev's services.jar files, so you can download that specific one. You can always ask your Dev.

5. Do I have to be rooted?

Yes. In order to be able to flash this, you are going to need to have root with a custom recovery

All credit goes to the dev who figured this out,

sino8r

! I simply applied this to the new froyo leak.

[Fascinate Android Development] mbh87:
Slows down your data speeds.
[Fascinate Android Development] mrodsunshine:
not too sure on the details, but either it a) drops your bandwidth to a lower amount once you hit a predetermined data cap (from say, 2MB/sec to 100kb/sec for a given time), or b) limits download/upload speeds below what your phone/carrier is capable of. feel free to correct me if i'm wrong on this though.
[Fascinate Android Development] drod2169:
this. they throttle your data once you hit a certain amount, or once your area hits a certain amount.

something like that. i just know it helps when downloading things :)
[Fascinate Android Development] johnnyv5:
My results.

Have installed dl30-leaked.zip. Downloaded speedtest.net from market and before applying this was getting mid 100's with 1 bar (bad signal in my office). After applying getting 444kbps first run and 647 second run....

ymmv.

[Fascinate Android Development] 40Glock:
The idea is to remove a "data throttle" much like a governor built into the phone which keeps your data speeds at whatever vzw pre-determined as opposed to what the phone/network can handle at the moment.

This install however completely ruined my phones ability to accurately report my battery charge.
[Fascinate Android Development] deaffob:
So this throttling is part of rom or kernel?
[Fascinate Android Development] scriz:
Services.jar is a system file. And this zip works. Took my data speeds from 80k/150k to 899k/345k
