[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamato2:
I have a captivate that is effected by the standby of death. I called the warranty return and they are sending a new one and i will return my old one back. I to know what i should do to my phone to prenent them from knowing i voided my warranty by rooting ect. And also i would like to master clear my phone but the odin one click thing doesn't work for my phone, and i have tried the master clear on it and it did nothing. And also they asked me if my screen had any cracks and i said no but it does have a tiny scratch do you think that would matter? By the way to all of you out there, thank you, I know you must hear that a lot but you really have made my phone fun and answered any question i had. So thanks!!:)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boardsportsrule:
not just one click, quite a bit more than that, but here's a good guide to getting it back to JH7

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=10056254&postcount=36

PS that seems to leave the rom rooted after install, so be sure to unroot. I used "1 click root" rather than Z4 root as the guide shows...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappyandroid:
I agree with boardsportsrule.

Just one click back to stock and unroot.

I don't think they'll bomb you for the little scratch if it truly is a little scratch.

Make sure you clean it up really well before you ship it, too--and keep your SD card and charger, they don't mind if you keep it, and it doesn't hurt to have a spare!

If you cant get odin to work i dunno how u can use this, but it seems solid:

I believe One-click Odin + Master Clear will do.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
I have done a lot of searching on this topic, but as yet have not been able to find a specific answer for the SGTab. So I hope I am not asking for the obvious, even for a noob.

I have done a full flash with no trouble (thanks to the XDA guides and videos, and Roto's great ROMs), but now I want to install an upgrade.zip From what I have gathered, I can do this by copying the upgrade.zip to the SD card, and then accessing it through the tab's recovery mode (power+vol_down), rather than flashing through Odin.

I would very much like to confirm if I am on the right track, and also whether I put the .zip file on the SD card or the extracted file?

Thanks for your help.

_________________

Sorry - I think the recovery mode should be power + vol_up
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
What is the purpose of the upgrade.zip? Like a theme, or a rom upgrade?
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
It is Rotos JMI v2 upgrade.
[Galaxy Tab General] Bugman1:
I ran the upgrade with Odin as PDA. No pit file, No modem file, No repartition required.
[Galaxy Tab General] zaoltryence:
I think what he wants to know isflashing ghe update on recovery mode instead of using odin for that instant.. well id like to know that too
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
The Roto upgrades are made for Odin, and not made to be ran as that type of upgrade. Roto said that down the road, using the recovery Chainfire was building, he would bundle his upgrades as an upgrade.zip, but not yet.
[Galaxy Tab General] njackson:
Thanks for the explanation, I now know why it didn't work. However, Odin did so I have got to where I wanted. Thanks.

However, if I was to be using that type of update, is the process I mentioned the way to do it, i.e. copy update.zip to the sdcard root and process through the tab recovery mode?
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Yes that is the process. It is the usual method to flash roms, modems, themes, etc. the time is very close for tab owners. I am trying a beta of this process when I finish my daily reading of xda.
[Galaxy Tab General] Copyright78:
So I have the Z4 app and I am about to root to open up a few programs I would like to use. I have a couple questions.. Does it matter that I have a data plan through sprint on this? I wasn't sure if it would cause my service with them to not work anymore. Also, Will I lose any already loaded apps? When Samsung comes out with this next firmware... will it effect already z4 rooted phones? Thx for any advice!
[Galaxy Tab General] quattr0:
I dont have Sprint tab but u should be able to unroot it w z4 or SuperOneClick. Just make sure u will use the same prog for both
[Galaxy Tab General] rangercaptain:
Rooting only gives you access to things within your operating system, so it won't affect your sprint account.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
I wanted to know if there is a program that can do what you guys are talking about. I would like to make my own themes with themes made by other people. If the is no program then where would one start. Thx in advanced.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
Ok I don't want to piss people off but how can I make a theme. Where do I start, is there a program to help you make themes instead of copying off of people. That's what I really like to know.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] david1171:
What mind of theme are you talking about? There are different methods for different types of themes.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] rich2thad:
I think u just need Photoshop and u have to edit the images then repack them to the zip for install just be sure u don't lose where the icons are placed and don't rename them... I think.... but I have no idea "/

CM7 wtf else....
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
Well I'm talking about themes poeple make that are in android market. I dont know what type of themes they are. Forgive me I'm new to android, I had a iPhone 4 and used winspc to change themes other people made on cydia.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] Payaso1:
Now do you just got to only use Photoshop cuz I use gimp is it the same.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] VolcanicSkunk:
You can use any image editing software. Read this thread. It pertains to the same thing that you are trying to do. You will use almost the exact same process to edit themes made by others.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] rjhay22:
Like the previous posters have mentioned, Photoshop or Gimp photo editor which is free would be your best bet, if you wanna make your own designs... If you want to theme your home screen using other people's work visit this thread, might help you out a bit.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=901649

It also has an instruction on how to change the icons after you make the design :)

Good luck!
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] creator2456:
If you use anything that is not yours, ask first. A lot of time goes into making a theme (even a not-so-good one) and I've seen too many people just say "credit goes to blah blah" but never asking. Please be considerate of the work of others.

As for actual theming it all depends on what you are theming. Some apps (launchers and widgets mainly) have built in theme functionality and should have a guide specific for them. Theming a ROM is a lot more time intensive and involves decompiling frameworks, setting up development tools, dealing with many possible problems, hoping compiling works, being frustrated about forgetting something, testing, etc. etc.
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] fst2011:
good info was looking for something very similar
[myTouch 4G Themes and Apps] tweak89:
Is making a them for a stock MT4G that uses the theme installer different than those made for custom ROMs?

It seems the androidian theme is the only one that can be installed and used on a stock MT4G. I'd love to see that exact theme with the green replaced by a dark gray.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] philselmer:
When I plug in my phone to charge, the charging light does not come on. Within 2 or 3 minutes it becomes noticeably warm in the area below the battery. After about 10 minutes it gets very hot. No matter how long I leave it on, the battery does not charge.

I can turn the phone on while it is plugged in, but it will turn off within 30 seconds of unplugging.

I have tried 3 different wall chargers, 2 different USB cables on 5 different computers. I even bought a new battery. The result is the same every time.

Does anyone know what the problem might be and if it can be fixed. It is out of warranty, so I'm not worried about opening it up if there is a fix that involves getting dirty.

Thanks in advance!
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] philselmer:
Some more information that I've discovered since the first post:

I can charge the batteries as long as the phone doesn't overheat (in the fridge/freezer).

When I plug it in to USB, it will charge (as long as it doesn't overheat), but I can't connect it to ADB or mount the SD card. The computer doesn't really even recognize it most of the time. When it does it says "unrecognized device". FYI, I have used ADB many many times in the past, so I know it is set up correctly.

I'm not sure if this is useful information, but the SD card shows up as unformatted when I pull it out of the phone.

I realize that the problem is hardware, I just wish someone knew exactly what part of the phone was bad.
[A7 General] adamofthestoffels:
Hello all,

Received my a7 a few days ago and was noticing sometimes it wouldn't wake up when it went to standby. The green indicator on the top of the device became solid instead of blinking which I assume means its not in standby anymore, but the screen remains blank. I thought a factory reset would fix the problem, but it didnt. I installed dexters mod last night and it did nothing to fix the problem. Any suggestions? Should I send it back or is there a fix for this?

Adam
[A7 General] 5[Strogino]:
You can't send back while you have custom ROM. Revert to stock ROM and try to reproduce the problem. Install 2-3 applications and check. Then install a few apps again.

I think it's app fault.
[A7 General] adamofthestoffels:
I just installed the new firmware and its doing the same thing, even before installing any apps. Gonna send it back.
[A7 General] sdialect31:
Mine did this briefly, I removed power cord, pressed reboot button with paperclip, then went to recovery mode and did factory wipe. I've been good ever since. This did not help until I tried with cord out for entire process.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
Here is my problem. So i am having problems putting magldr onto my hd2. When i downloaded software and hit Romupdateutility.exe i am able to hit run but then nothing happens i have the updated radio and the hspl3 updated as well. Or it will say that there is errorusb any suggestions what i need to do?

R u running romupdate as an administrator?

I did not have this problem and I am running & Ultimate x64.

Try re-downloading and extract the files on a folder on the desktop. That worked for me.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Kailkti:
Just wondering if you're installing MAGLDR through the bootloader, and not in the usb flasher mode of MAGLDR. And bootloader I mean the tri color screen which is accessed by holding vol down while phone powers up.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
Well i tried that earlier and nothing happened. and now when i click the romupdateutility.exe. it doesnt even do anything. Do i need to find a different magldr?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jose makalolot:
what earlier are you referring to?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ionbasa:
Do you have any Windows Mobile ROM installed on your phone? If so which? Also you have HSPL installed right? you can quickly find out if HSPL is installed by powering off your Hd2, then hold the VOL_Down button and the power button. If it succeeds you should get a RGB (tri colour) screen.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
You say that you ran hspl3 but don't say that you have 2.08.hspl installed, you could have selected 2.08.0000 also using hspl3. You also say you have an updated radio, but is it a 50 series radio, 2.08.50 or higher?

Boot into bootloader, confirm spl shows 2.08.hspl, then connect to your pc. Does "serial" on screen change to "usb"? If so then run the romupdateutility by right clicking on it and selecting Run as Administrator (although it should run it as admin by default)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
Earlier as in i tried having it hooked to my windows mobile sync and then when that didnt work i put it into bootloader mode.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
Hi I have the 2.08hspl and have the 3.15.50.14 radio the newest one...should maybe i start over and put it back to the 3.14 rom then put the 2.08 back on and try it all over again?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
No, if you have spl 2.08.hspl and radio 2.15.50.14 then boot to bootloader, connect to pc, when "usb" shows on screen run the romupdateutility form the magldr 1.13 file you downloaded.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
So now it says that the readme.text is missing....ugh
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ClydeB1:
Did you run romupdateutility.exe as I said (twice already) or did you run daf.exe?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
Well here is what i tried. i tried to run daf.exe and it came to the screen and said the readtext. was missing. and then read ur noob guide and then tried to run the romupdate in bootloader mode and it still doesnt do anything when i click run romupdateutility.exe. I am now going to try and put froyo on it and then try to run the rom?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] pakure:
dont run daf.exe...just run the ruu.exe as administrator;)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] bunnysface:
I am going to try that now i just put everything back to stock and will start from scratch.SO i downloaded the DFT_LEO_MAGLDR113_DAF.rar and this is what it has on it for files:Daf.txt

daf.exe

[G Tablet General] HunterTheDog:
Getting a "Paired but not connected" issue with my bluetooth ear-piece and I've tried everything to get it to connect, even force closing wiping all the data from the bluetooth application and rebooting several times. I've only had this problem since switching from cyanogen mod to vegan tab (Love vegan tab btw) does anyone know some fixes or solutions?

Thanks in advance :3
[G Tablet General] HunterTheDog:
come on :\ doesnt even one person have a suggestion?

hmmm, thats really odd, maybe my headset itsself is being stupid. Thanks for the feedback guys.

bluetooth help

I am having the same problem. Tried 2 different headsets, netbook, and my moto droid - but everything says "paired but not connected". nothing works! please help
[G Tablet General] doihaveto:
may be a direction for a fix; DEVs could you clarify for us

I found this in a post today by enigma0456:

More research finally revealed something. BlueGPS4droid at sourceforge not the market. So, the external gps was "paired but not connected" until there was an application (bluegps) to "connect" to. Once that was installed I turned on the bluetooth and it immediately saw the hollux remote gps receiver. Tested it with Maps and it worked beautifully. So theories:

1. If there isn't an app waiting to use the bluetooth device it will pair but not connect until something asks for it.

now I realize this has to deal with gps but as i understand all phone apks have been removed that can be and not lose functionality in order to save battery life in Vegan 5.1 so if the above quote is right then there is no app (phone.apk etc.) to ask for the use of the ear piece and thus the paired but not connected issue.

now some people have mentioned not having issue getting their BT headset to work and maybe this is because the headset offers another use in their programing like they are designed to work like headphones or something and then there would be and app to ask for them and so they connect

the ones that do not work on the other hand like mine are only designed for phone audio; ever notice that on your Droid cell that your headset will say connected to phone audio, well in our case if the phone.apk/s are not there then there is nothing asking to connect to it.

DEVs are there any ideas to get functionality back even it that means adding back the phone.apks--and is that possible to do with our re-flashing a rom like side installing it or an update.zip

Thanks
[G Tablet General] rayhova:
There is an app on the market, called "headset toggle widget" and that will do the trick and unmute your speakers
[G Tablet General] LazloTheGreat:
Possible workaround...

Don't know if this will help but, after I paired my BT headset with GTAB, I then paired it with another device (my phone) after which GTAB started giving me the paired but not connected message when I tried to connect back to the GTAB. What worked? Well, now before I select the headset device in GTAB's bluetooth device menu, I put the headset itself back into pairing mode. THEN, I select it in GTAB's bluetooth device menu and voilà, it connects. Downside, I have to put the headset into pairing mode everytime I want to connect it to GTAB. (Haven't bothered trying to unpair the headset with my phone yet to see if it makes a difference.) Hope it works at least as temp fix for ya.
[Nook Color General] Nimocone:
When you guys bought your NC from B&N, did you purchase the extended warranty for $55? I typically don't but they kept selling me that it would be covered if dropped, etc. I have 14 days to decide as long as the box isn't opened. I plan on rooting after the weekend when I'm off so I still have a chance to purchase the warranty. I know it's really how the owner feels, but I figured I'd ask here in case there was a war story where the warranty saved someone from a major repair bill that wasn't covered by B&N.
[Nook Color General] methodz:
I bought it. they told me i could throw it off my balcony if i felt like it and they would cover it. sounded like a deal to me, this thing looks easy to drop and is rather heavy for its size. so i may throw it off my balcony in 2 years.

i held both the galaxy tab and the dell streak 7 today. both of those felt pretty cheap in the hand compared to the nook. i thought about buying one of those as well but to be quite honest they aren't worth the pricetag. only positive thing was the screen on the galaxy tab seemed to be good quality the rest of it wasn't. oh and the dell... horrible screen with horrible viewing angle. i don't know they just felt cheap in the hand.
[Nook Color General] k8108:
Well, for the 55 dollars, and for two years, it's well worth it to me. And I actually called a month to the day after I got my NC and was told that I still had time to get the warranty, which I did. Can't remember what the actual time limit is. Got kids and I'm sure at some point this thing is going to be dropped.
[Nook Color General] woot1524:
i purchased mine from bb and grabbed their warranty for $40 because i knew i would be rooting / hacking it. as far as explicit reasons to get a warranty there nook has few. the micro usb plug has tendency to break off from the board. there are some screen issues like glow through near the bottom and just some complete screen failures. not to common but probably worth it. software wise, its nearly impossible to brick the nook thanks to priority sd boot. it really comes down to how rich your feeling

how do i go about purchasing the square trade warranty if i'm buying the NC used?
[Nook Color General] fpga_guy:
I never purchase extended warranty. My credit cards provide an additional one year warranty - so I am cover for two years.

Extended warranty is a big margin item - that's why merchants push it.
[Nook Color General] xenuprime:
For today only, use the code WINTER to get 30% off a warranty.
[Nook Color General] redking79:
SquareTrade offers warranties if you bought your item on eBay. You just need the eBay auction number. If you didn't get it on eBay, you can still get coverage if it's a refurbished model you bought from a retailer.

Other than that, you may be out of luck. :(
[Nook Color General] sc37:
That code might be for today only, but a few days ago there was another 30% off code:p Either way, it's a great deal. I'm never up for extended warranties, but for 20-some bucks, 3 years I'm in. I will def get one once I pick up my Nook this weekend. Honestly, I'm sure I will 'accidentally' drop it before the end of the 3 years ;).
[Nook Color General] Brenbags:
Yes, yes. Good point.
[Nook Color General] tech_head:
I bought my warranty from Square Trade.

I had a coupon that made it less than $30 right after Christmas.

Three years, and as long as you can send them enough to recognize.......
[Nook Color General] drp1:
Thanks for the tips & coupon code for SquareTrade. I normally don't like to purchase extended warranties, and I passed on the B&N warranty for $55. However, the SquareTrade 2 yr. warranty was $25 & change, and that seemed like a good deal. Now I won't be so worried about dropping it, etc.
[Nook Color General] solace.discord:
I went with the B&N warranty. in Maine third-party warranty's aren't allowed (consumer protection law), so no SquareTrade for me. I have kids, I'm clumsy sometimes, sh*t happens.. made sense to get a warranty of some kind.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] skinja99:
LTE cards are basically next gen GSM sim cards, right?

Will a Verizon (cdma) phone that is LTE capable like the droid bionic work outside the USA?

Since LTE needs an LTE sim card, would an LTE device work outside the USA simply by removing the LTE card and inserting a local country sim card?

Thanks!
[Motorola Droid Bionic] moosc:
No the radio frequency is different.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
If your device has an antenna that supports GSm then yes it will work. You wont get LTE of course.

Ala my Tbolt works in Europe.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] Travelr:
I didnt' think the Tbolt had any GSM capability, where in Europe does it work az?
[Motorola Droid Bionic] GatorRuss:
I have seen conflicting information on whether or not the Bionic has a GSM radio in it. On GSM Arena, they have the specs up now, and emphasize that it doesn't have a GSM radio, but when the phone went through the FCC, there are articles talking about how it will be a 'world phone'.

Does anyone work for Verizon, or actually know the situation? It baffles me that there are no LTE devices that are also usable in Europe.
[Motorola Droid Bionic] azwildfire:
Verizon piggy backs on Vodaphone's network in Eruope.

Check out http://b2b.vzw.com/international/Global_Phone/Europe/Germany.html for proof.

It isn't cheap though :P
