[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mrjake1970:
I can't help but ask the question...if you got this phone for the bigger screen and super amoled graphics, why then are 98% of the themes and ROMs dark ?

before you say "battery life", I would argue that my personal experience is that color has an extremely low or insignificant role in battery life. I have color photos as my background, color icons and have what I consider to be excellent battery life.

I charge overnight and I spend 45 minutes first thing in AM on google reader, answer texts, then listen to music for 8 hours straight at work, reading news and texting at breaks and lunch. I have background data, and full sync on all day, and use wifi in the morning.

after all that, from unplugging at 6 am it is now 630 pm and I still have 64% battery.

how did the whole color kills ur battery thing get started? I would love to see some high, rich color themes :)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
Themers preference I suppose....the majority of.the time I only work on themes I personally like and black and grey based themes are what I like

Also what would you consider a good colorful theme from another phone? Just curious. :-)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jspidah:
Seconding. imo 90% of themes that arent as spartan as possible are garish and unsightly, especially ones that emulate real life materials like carbon fiber or metal.

But i can see how this gets boring to look at for most people
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] mrjake1970:
don't get me wrong, i'm not saying i dont like them, nor am i intending to insult the theme developers .. i did theming and some other developing on the blackberry platform, so i understand the dev side..

i just find it ironic that everyone gushes (and i agree btw) that this phone has a brilliant display - and then themes it with one of 12 different black and grey and/or "dark" themes.. just doesn't make much sense to me i suppose.. :)

i like some of the HTC based themes - and someone just posted a link to 3 of the HTC ones a few threads up that i kind of liked..
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] davidstre:
A spalsh of color is always nice. I agree, any theme that incorporates color tends to go overboard and gets a little gaudy. I am a big fan of the Minimal Theme in post 1, but one of the reasons i like Black AOSP is because while it is dark, it has SOME color here and there. +1 for some more colorful themes. HTC does do a good job at incorporating color without going overboard.

[Fascinate Themes and Apps] stereoblind:
If there was some kind of universal way to change the battery icon on all themes aside from Gingerbread ones back to the stock battery icon, that would be my dream come true.
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] nitsuj17:
nitsuj17 is just the same screen make I've had since I was 15 and made an aol account....,I wanted to sound older at the time so I went with 17 instead of 15 :-)
[Fascinate Themes and Apps] jspidah:
I will pick up the minimalist theme but I haven't tried the whole app theming thing yet...so that part may take me some time

[EVO Shift 4G General] lordsargon:
I was using Visionary to temproot my Shift. I am halfway through the permanent root process (step 6), but Visionary no longer lets me temproot. I read in another thread about issues with superuser and temprooting a second time, so I uninstalled superuser. That didn't fix my problem.

When I try to temproot now, the process starts, runs for 8 seconds, then the phone reboots.

Visionary is not set to temproot at boot. If I try unrooting, Visionary tells me the phone isn't rooted.

One thing which is unusual is that the phone continues to reboot after Visionary fails the temproot. Sense begins to load, then the phone reboots, and it will continue to do this unless I pull the battery.

Ideas or suggestions for completing permroot are greatly appreciated.
[EVO Shift 4G General] oboroninja:
You need to uninstall visionary and do a reboot.

powered by the tears of a million orphaned alpacas...
[EVO Shift 4G General] adamr240:
Also, make sure you have airplane mode enabled. I think that is in the instructions though.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lordsargon:
OK, uninstalled Visionary, powered down, pulled the battery, booted, and verified that Visionary was not installed. I then installed it, tried the temproot, and the phone rebooted.

This is crazy....
[EVO Shift 4G General] aestivalisakito:
This is a common issue among alot of us shift users, youll also notice on the reboot on a failed temp root that the phone is superbly slow, etc, try powering down on a failed temp root normally (meaning dont pull the battery actually power it down) wait a few, then power it on. Let it boot, and wait a few seconds after getting into the home screen, one it seems to have fully loaded everything, go ahead and attempt a temp root with visionary, if you are successful continue on with the perma root instructions. I had the same issue,however just so you know I had to make sure that my phone was NOT in airplane mode for the temp root but it needed to be in airplane mode for the Perma root portion, if i tried it any other way it failed, but now i have a perma rooted shift and it works perfectly. Hope that helps.
[EVO Shift 4G General] lordsargon:
Yes, I have airplane mode enabled. I have followed the permroot instructions to the letter.

Very frustrating........
[EVO Shift 4G General] lordsargon:
RESOLVED

I had to reset the phone to factory defaults, install Visionary, and proceed from that point.

Thankfully I had backed everything up with Titanium Backup before starting the entire process.

Thanks to all who gave suggestions and advice.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CANDRIOD:
Hi, I am new to the forum but need some help please.I can no longer get my contacts to display on the radio in the car after upgrade to 2.2 via Samsung kies. This feature worked fine before update but now I get the message that the phone is connected and a new phonebook is available but no contacts are there. I tried a HTC Legend and it paired and loaded the contacts no problem, running a custom 2.2 ROM. Any thoughts? Anyone know of a problem with Samsungs 2.2 for Rogers Capivate update and bluetooth?

Vehicle:2010 VW golf with 9W3 bluetooth kit.

Phone: Samsung capivate (I896) on Rogers

Thanks

Resolved

After trying a complete unpairing of phone and disconnect I repaired the phone and igorned the permissions and the phonebook loaded.

[Epic 4G General] Djarett088:
I have a Samsung Epic 4g rooted with the one click 2.5 and I upgraded to Froyo.

I had to use my wifes phone to copy the update.zip to my sd card because my computer would not let me see my epic. Same computer, cable and model phone works fine for my wifes.

I need to reinstall the one click root and can not get my computer to see my phone.

Is there a way I can root on the phone without using the computer.

So close to done, but I can not use the wifi tether without re-root
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Different phones can be more finicky. No valid explanation why though.

Make sure you plug the cable into the phone first, then the computer. Try using different USB ports. If all else fails, try another cable.

I have seen a bad port on the phone before, but it had charging issues as well.
[Epic 4G General] Djarett088:
I have tried all the ports on my laptop. The phone acts like it is connecting. Even brings up the new usb connection icon but can not see the phone or sd card on my phone. USb debugging tried on and off.

No problem charging. I have tried various usb cables also and different computers
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
That is pretty wierd.

Do you have a different computer to check?
[Epic 4G General] heathmcabee:
I'm having the same issue, but it isn't constant. I spent hours last night reinstalling drivers, different cables, debugging on-off. I go back to stock and try and it works fine, I install clockwork3 and ext4 with TrulyEpic and it does the same thing. Though sometimes it works. I found that my port is a little loose, cause when I move it to one side it looses connection. I think we may need to contact Sprint and get a replacement phone. I really want a brand new one, cause I didn't pay for a refurb, and really dont want one.
[Epic 4G General] Djarett088:
yes 4 computers 2 with Windows 7 and 2 with Xp
[Epic 4G General] Superbovine:
Sounds like something is up with the phone, man. The only commonality is the phone.

Especially if you couldn't access it before the flash to 2.2 either.

It's not a finalized version. There are bugs and such because its a leak. Its more then likely a leak of a beta version of 2.2

I was seriously sittin at work b!tchen about not have 2.2 and check on here and BAMMM.. there it was. I had 2.2 loaded on my phone faster then you could blink! lol

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] likiud:
I'm thinking about installing a custom ROM but a bit confused in the ODIN part. I'm fairly new to the android community having just got my Rogers I896 in October.

With Odin, I realized there's the Odin one click downloader which seems to be the easiest one. I do notice that comes prepackaged with the I897 stock ROM.

The other alternative is to use a Non-one click Odin and the Stock I896 Froyo rom but not really sure how to go from there. I think I need a PIT file or something after watching some youtube videos? There seems to be a few PIT files to use. I'm not sure which one to use and where can i find them.

Because I'm on Rogers and I have also updated to the official Froyo via Kies, does it really matter which odin and which stock ROM to install prior to flashing a custom rom?

Would like some guidance here. I've been searching, googling and researching about this custom ROM thing for days already and can't seem to gather enough information for me to confidently perform this.

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bms231:
I think they are all great questions and I am in the same boat so I will tack on a question of my own here.

If you flash a bad rom, can you use ODIN to get back to stock? Even if you have no backup?
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
Hi.

Did I understand You correctly, they sent You 3 times refurbished unit, different unit each time or it was still Your unit but "fixed" ?

Regards

fxdjacentyfxd
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
No!

They sent me '5' times refurbished unit - different unit. Not mine one that was fixed. I was keepint track of IMEI number as I read somewhere on forums about their dodgy dealings. So it was different IMEI number each time i.e. different device - but same problem!

Only thing common was - it was 'updated to 6.5' by Orange.
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
Glad to have you back on the forum Drupad !

Dont forget to Hard Reset after a ROM Flash! Or after you first recieve it. thatis appaling from Orange. Demand a NEW phone. Not a refurbished. Also that LG is no where near to the TG01 standard. it has only HVGA screen, resisitive touch screen, 600mhz. They call that a worthy tg01 compeitor? I heard a while back they were offering HTC heros. But stay on this forum, don't leave us! haha.. Hope you get your problems solved mate.
[TG01 General] fxdjacentyfxd:
I suspect that "refurbrished" units are simply damaged or rather bricked units returned by other users and Orange did not do anything with them.

Maybe You should contact Toshiba UK like user 'El Diablo' http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=11076193&postcount=30

[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
I was so pissed off and mental exhausted - I have had 3 sim card replacements (at first even after me shouting that it's not SIM, it's my phone - they wanted me to 'try' sims) and then 5 handset replacements. After I got each of these items my problem persisted so I called 'technical support' to sort me out - but even after nearly 90 to 120 minutes of diagnostic tests daily, all they did was send out 'another' sim or phone! This just drained me and since I could not even use it as a phone, let alone development - my absense to this forum!

I will try to be back and answer most generic queries which won't need use of my TG01, as I won't rely on my TG01 for now till I know it's fixed!

BTW, they think LG GT505 is THE ONLY competitor of TG01 or I should pay £495 + agree to another 24 months contract and get the phone of my choice! - how convenient.

I have already wrote an email to Toshiba UK and Orange Executive Office last night, and will hope to get some feedback on how to resolve the issue somewhere in next week. I very much agree to your doubt that at Orange it's been 'overlooked' - they make it shiny and nice looking but original fault in the handset is not resolved at all.

i.e. two handsets had issues with speakers - probably customers returned them due to bad speakers.

one handset had loosly aligned or highly damaged screen and if I press at the bottom of screen, my top bar was automatically responding - even screen alignment din't help!
[TG01 General] olyloh6696:
That is appalling.. I've always been dissapointed wig Orange customer support. They are not techinical at all. What about that replacement TG01 you said you were getting.? Have you received it yet? You could check if it has problems with it. I hope the executive of Orange will compensate you for the trouble. I would day a brand new TG01 + cash compensation. They shouldn't be supplying faulty devices. I hope it all goes well for you.. Best of luck!
[TG01 General] dr_strangetrick:
Hi Drupad2drupad

II know how you feel, I ditched Orange years ago and I am on Pay as you go and get my handsets from http://uk.webuy.com/ grade B or grade A

Anyway my TG01 also freezes a lot and occasionally will not switch on at all so this is what I have found.

If you are using the original 8Gb card supplied with the TG01 from Orange then buy a new one as there are loads of posts of people reporting corruption on those cards.

I say this because when my TG01 refuses to switch on I have to take out both my sim card and sd card then run a scandisk on the card from my laptop then my TG01 will boot (no errors reported from scandisk)

Secondly I have found nearly all the 6.5.3 or 6.5.5 roms keep freezing on me, or my TG01 wont wake up. 6.5 is quite good and I have never had a freeze using 6.1

So my advice just to see if your TG01 will work is to get a decent card first and download the stock Orange rom and flash using this then hard reset then download FFBoys 6.1 http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=679530 and when this completes do a hard reset again and see how this works

Remember to ensure your battery is 100% first.

I know you will not want to stay on 6.1 but if this works then your TG01 is probably ok and go from there.

Keep us posted and good luck.

### EDIT ###

Just remembered...

Someone (cant recall who) made a blank or empty rom for the TG01 especially for users suffering problems after flashing. Once loaded you have to re-flash using the pin method but I remember the developer saying something like 'as this is empty it will case your TG01 to reformat its internal memory' as 'fragmented' memory (I think that's what they called it) caused the reflash to not correctly overwrite the memory

This causes problems as other users for different devices agree about the factory rom first then custom rom afterwards.
[TG01 General] drupad2drupad:
I don't know why I ended up renewing my contract with Orange in first place! Oh I know, because ONLY orange sold this lovely TG01s!! :(

They don't talk anything more than what it says on their screens! Even the 'technical support' isn't technical! Probably a newbie on XDA can give out more details than that! :P

Yes I received that handset same day. The executive office - NO REPLY. Toshiba Europe, asked me to send this phone to Toshiba repair centre - however, this will cost me if it's not included in Orange 'warranty'. So I called Orange and they warned me NOT TO send it to anyone at Toshiba or anywhere else directly and bloated some legal lines to me! = I have no phone now! They are still on about the same thing - take the LG GT505 - it's BETTER than TG01.

So far - Orange cust service - not ready to even wave off my line rental for the days I haven't used my phone at all (since mid Jan till today - appox 22 days and I have successfully sent 12 text msgs and used 2 minutes 28 seconds of talk time!!) - reason being - rest of the hours it's freezing, restarting!

Orange exec office - no one has bothered replying, but when I called, the number doesn't seem to be answered at all!

Toshiba - thinks the handset that behaves this way is 'faulty' and needs to be sent to repair centre to 'confirm' and 'repair' - but with £20-£40 of charges involved even if phone isn't repaired!
