Is it possible to build and attach a Led Flash to the USB port?? As anyone tried this?
[Captivate Accessories] nappent:
I'm sure it's possible... personally I rather see a option for a forward facing camera to be added via the usb... but that's just me.
[Captivate Accessories] BlindSnipersInc:
Meh there have been a few occasions where flash would have been nice. Not a bad idea
[Captivate Accessories] praramis:
or someone could build a usb attachment that on the front has the front facing camera and on the back it has an led light for the original camera jeje
[Captivate Accessories] SeanHacker:
the have a mirror that attaches to the phone and acts like a front facing camera. its kinda cool because you can remove it. it you only need a ffc every once in while its awesome. just youtube front facing camera mirror

My bookeeper gave me her nook to root. Hers has 1.1.0 already installed. Use the same instructions for 1.0.1 to root? Her nook is a virgin.

thanks
[Nook Color General] eyecrispy:
You'll need to revert back to 1.0.1 or 1.0.0 before rooting. Then you can flash 1.1 on top of it after you nooter it. Go look in the Development forum. It's all there.

- Connect USB Cable, but DO NOT MOUNT SD CARD

Hopefully, one of those do the trick. If not, you may want to try something like Z4root.

Lets say I am receiving a text message on my phone... can I reply using my computer screen in the same format that is visible on my phone?

You can't format to ext 4 in windows. Try using gParted live cd by burning it onto CD. Or you can use Linux system, if you have one.

Windows does not read those filesystems... so the above method will work.

I've installed the JavaRE, and the AndroidSDK and the USB thing as instructed.

I tried going to Device Manager (Windows7), and updating the drivers for my phone to use the downloaded USB driver, but it won't have it, saying the best drivers are already installed (I have uninstalled, and reinstalled, and it won't accept it).

Any ideas?

No. If your trying to use adb commands for your phone and it isn't working, just update the platform-tools and see if that works. It worked for me when I did that because I couldn't get it to work initially. Am I completely wrong here?

So I have been having some battery life issues like some users not being able to get a full day. But there has been a few times I have had my battery at %50 and then after a reboot it starts up and says plug in charger your battery is dead. Today I had 90% only been using for a few hours. All I did today was remove handcent and put on go sms. I also installed juice defender but I have it just on default settings. Go sms was stuck in a search so I rebooted my phone. I had 90% battery and when i started back up it says my battery needs to be charged. I have done the whole charge / whipe battery thing before didnt seem to help.

Oh and i'm running dk28 mightnight rom.
[Epic 4G General] DiGi760:
sounds like a bad battery. Most sprint stores with service centers have a cadex machine that they can test your battery with.
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
I have been seeing the exact same thing. I will reboot the phone with what appears to be a lot of battery life left and when it comes back I'll get told I'm at something like 10% and I should connect the charger. Luckily I have two batteries and I keep the second one with me in the pocket case/charger.
[Epic 4G General] insanity213:
Same issue here with drastic change in charge level after flashing a ROM or even just flashing a new app or UI change via CWM when using my cheap ass Chinese eBay batteries. I've yet to be able to recreate the problem while using my stock battery - and I've tried. If you are using the stock battery, it's probably going bad. If you're using a cheap eBay battery, well, you get what you pay for I guess.
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Both of my batteries are stock and I don't think it's a bad battery. I can go several days with great battery life from both batteries and then out of the blue I'll restart the phone for whatever reason and POW! Come to think of it the only reason why I usually restart the phone is to either swap batteries or because performance has dropped dramatically. Now I am wondering if there is a run away process that is chewing up the battery but the usage isn't being reported until after the reboot.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
My battery is stock also. And mine appears to be random also sometimes I will have mild to high battery drain and other times its BAM %50 to 0 on a reboot or something it doesn't really match up with use or anything. I do have a Chinese battery on the way. I'm draining the battery down a bit more now and going to do another full charge with it off and then wipe the stats. Hopefully it helps will also try to stop at the sprint store and have them test the battery.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
This was most prevalent for me when running EXT4 using the ext4 compatible bonsai roms (and the other ROMs that use bonsai as a base)

i've gone back to RFS and the 1.0.4 (I think) bonsai ROM and the problem has gone away.

my phone would be fine for quite a while, then i'd notice crappy performance, browsing, texts not being sent/received so i'd reboot the phone and come back after boot and the battery would be almost dead.
[Epic 4G General] quik99:
I am on ext4 also. I have been thinking of going to another rom and possibly off ext4 but I was trying to wait for final froyo custom roms..ya I know stupid me lol
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
I'm ruining running "stock" DK28 so I don't think it is an EXT4 issue as much as maybe an issue with DK28.
[Epic 4G General] mtwow789:
Looks like it goes away

I am currently on Bonsai v2.0.0 rom with Gingerbread Theme.

My battery performed weird when I just flashed to Bonsai rom. After reboot, the battery suddenly dropped from 50% to 15% and told me to charge. However I believe it happened due to flashing a new rom and battery not calibrated.

However, after a week of normal using, the battery seemed to have been calibrated itself. Now it performs okay. I have been lightly used (facebook, XDA, Engadget, weather checking on Wifi) with screen brightness set to auto. I also played music on phone speaker for about 20 minutes while I am cooking. Oh, I didn't get a call, so no call usage. But I did some email checking.

I had Advanced Task Killer set up to auto kill processes every one hour. I killed facebook when not in use, as I heard that facebook chat causes major battery drainage. And I also set mostly black wallpaper in hope to save some battery. I heard that saves battery a lot for some reason.

Anyways I have attached the screenshot, although I didn't use much, I believe that I can withstand a day with no problem.
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
Not to change the subject but you brought up Swype. Is it just me or has anyone else noticed that the more they use Swype the worse it seems to get? I loved it at first but now it seems like it's been hitting the crack pipe.
[Epic 4G General] snowmanwithahat:
With due respect I think you're all wrong. I've had the same issues... sometimes at random after a restart

Shut down

Pull the battery

Put it back in

You should see your normal battery life

It's actually reading way lower than the battery actually is
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
Swype remembers mistakes that we make when hitting each key.. once a week or once every couple weeks I'll go to menu > settings > spplications > manage > select all apps > swype > force stop then clear cache.

that always gets it sober again.

The thing is, it shouldn't be happening. I can say for certain that after removing EXT4 and flashing back to the last stable (for me) Bonsai ROM I have not encountered this anomaly even one time (been 2 wks so far)... call it a coincidence, call it a solution. You decide.

Just sayin'

--DM1975
[Epic 4G General] flash_c4:
I tried this and no luck. I restarted the phone with about 80% and when it came up I got the critically low attach charger message. I then powered down, removed the battery, let it set for a minute, put the battery back in and booted. Still the same message. I'm keeping better track of usage and such today to see if there is something I can contribute this to.
[Epic 4G General] daddymikey1975:
In my experience, there wasn't a 'guilty' usage pattern or app that caused this for me.. I noticed that when the battery gauge showed around 60-70% my phone would start performing very poorly.. I'd reboot and when it booted, came back w/ critical low battery.

As I posted before, I reverted back to RFS and haven't had this issue yet.
[Epic 4G General] blackdragon79:
Glad to see I'm not the only one having this annoying problem. I hate having a full battery and after 2 reboots I have a low battery. Its hard to believe that a reboot takes so much power.

3rd party launcher

So I was having a problem over the last few days trying to see what was eating up my memory and battery.

This was my solution to my battery drain:

If you have a 3rd party launcher, like LauncherPro, go turn on TouchWiz (via settings->applications->manage applications->3rd party launcher->clear defaults). Open up both TouchWiz and the Default Android launcher one at a time, and make sure you delete all of the widgets and anything that might be operating under the other launchers.

LauncherPro and ADW do not turn off TouchWiz, they are really just an overlay. So if you have, for instance, the Sprint TV widget on a home screen through TW, then it is still operating while you use LP or ADW. I use this example because it is a widget that Sprint has set up to automatically be placed on the home screen when you buy the phone.

Also, I would recommend looking at these three apps that might show you what is draining your battery: OS Monitor, Android Assistant, and/or Battery Doctor.

Hope this help you in some fashion to uncover whatever it is that draining your battery. If nothing here helps, I would do one of the battery calibration techniques here

Most everything runs great. Text to speech settings force closes which looks like it's addressed in next release.

Only issue for me is that I'm trying to install Swype using Swype Installer. Keep getting Data network experienced problem message try again. Keep getting this. Had it installed on CM 6.1 with no issue.

i tried to install swype and got the equivalent to a 'hard reset' so reinstalling and will report back...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hulkamaphone:
Swype's working for me with no issues at all. After performing a superwipe and flashing the rom I re-downloaded the installer, followed the usual process and had no problems with it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jjrumph:
Yea did that too. Always get data network error. Never get to download screen from installer.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jjrumph:
Sounds good. Main issue I had was in the text to speech setting where it would force close. Hopefully thats what you meant.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mmaiolo81:

Okay, I've uninstalled Tweetdeck, cleared cache, rebooted and reinstalled.... and still getting FC. I'm lost as to what is going on here, everything else is working fine?

I'll just have to wait until the next Yoshi Ginger release and perform another wipe to see if that fixes the issue.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mmaiolo81:
Did you do a full wipe before you re installed the rom?
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hulkamaphone:
I didn't reinstall the rom this time, just uninstalled Tweetdeck, cleared cache (if that even did anything) and reinstalled it... oh and I removed the backup file I had in Titanium back too.

I'll perform a full wipe (superwipe) when I flash the new Yoshi rom, see if that fixes it.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mmaiolo81:
ok so i got swype installed however it says the one downloaded is for a difderent device so the actual swype doesnt work any ideas...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mmaiolo81:
Thats the one i am on and it works great... So if its not imparative i would just wait should be posted tonight or tomorrow...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jjrumph:
If Swype is checked in settings, then try long press text area and choose other keyboard. The do the same thing, long press and press Swype and see if that works. Thats what I had to do if I rebooted on 6.1
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] hulkamaphone:
thanks, I'm happy to wait.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] jjrumph:
So what did you to to get it installed? Anything different than run installer. Like I said all I can do is enter my name and password then get data network error.
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] mmaiolo81:
try superwipe v2.... search for it... i do that twice, and then wipecahce.zip twice, then wipe data/cache 3 times, then I flash...
[myTouch 3G, Magic General] cpaixao:
