You have to buy a T-mo phone. Only T-Mo phone has 1700Mhz AWS band.
[Captivate General] mnemonicj:
T-mobile phones use the 1700 MHz 3G band, as stated in the previous post. The AT&T Captivate doesn't support that band, it only supports 850 MHz, 900MHz 1900 MHz, and 2100 MHz 3G bands. The reason that you are able to use the Captivate on T-mobile at all is because the Captivate is a quad band GSM phone and that is what it can back down to for voice and 2G data if 3G is not available.

hmm have you tried calibrating the battery? or try a different kernel? sometimes problems like these are kernel related. I know that certain kernels have drained my battery faster than others.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
Nope don't use 4g, & when phone is idle it dies 10% in 8hrs of idle but after that .. man under 30 minutes it goes down another 10% or less
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
well honestly that's pretty normal especially for a sense rom but maybe if you try calibrating the battery and erasing battery stats, that could help you out. Also try not to have GPS on unless it's necessary. That also drains your battery. Or try a different kernel like netarchy's kernel and if it's a non-havs kernel then combine it with setcpu.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
What are you using?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
well I'm not on a sense rom so I'm running a savaged-zen kernel but when I WAS on a sense rom I used this one http://qap.la/~netarchy/netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-nohavs-nosbc-noUV-universal-signed.zip

y/netarchy-toastmod-4.3.2-cfs-nohavs-nosbc-noUV-universal-signed.zip It's cfs, has no havs so I could use it with setcpu and wasn't SBC because I don't like to mess with my battery that way.

What rom are you on?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
I'm on cm 6.1.2, I use the stable .0.4 savaged-zen kernel without SBC and with Wimax. and I average about 20-22 hours every day with moderate-heavy usage.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
Why not use cm7 wimax?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jstalford:
If it's charging too fast and dropping to fast, I would guess you need to calibrate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
For some reason I just prefer cm 6.1.2 but I'm fine with waiting for the stable cm7 to come out. I use a kernel with Wimax because all of the savaged-zen kernels are Wimax capable.

Honestly though, try calibrating the battery and then either use the kernel you have now or a different one but always remember to wipe cache/dalvik-cache
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] davidc23:
I'm about to flash cm7 wimax, and what can I have my brightness set to?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
you can use auto brightness. I usually keep it on the lowest because I find the others to be too bright for me personally and when I'm in bright places I set it to auto. By the way if you use the savaged-zen kernels, set the wifi sleep policy to never to avoid random reboots.
[G Tablet General] stiphy:
Hi,

I recently returned my first Gtablet due to the fact that it would never wake up from sleep mode (had to do full reset). The second one I have now is working great except the wifi signal strength on it is pretty terrible. I have a Linksys E3000 with DD-WRT on it and even if I hold the Gtablet straight above the router I get only 2 bars of signal on the tablet and about 75% signal strength in DD-WRT. I've tried this with another access point as well and still have weak signal with this Gtablet.

The first GTablet I had didn't seem to have this problem.

I am running Vegan 5.1 and I tried both with and without Pershoot's latest kernel with the same results.

Any thoughts on settings or anything that might increase my wifi signal strength? I cannot use my wifi from the other room because of this, I routinely did this on the first Gtablet that had the wake issue. My archos 101 also works fine.

Thanks,

Sean

You might also want to check out Meritline.com. They sell microsd cards very cheap and about once a week have specials on them, if you get their newsletter.

I like the Aplus cards they sell. Have had very good experience, better than a lot of the more 'household name' brand ones you usually see at retail. Another great place, if you like the Toshiba cards, is OfficeMax. Check their flyer in the Sunday paper. Last week, every size was on sale very cheap.

I tried many 16gb cards out (thanks to Amazon's generous return policy :D) and ended up keeping the Transcend Class 6 one. It was actually faster than the Class 10 I tried out, in all except the 4kb writing speed.

Newegg and Amazon are both great places to get cards, but don't go the eBay route..or even from a 3rd party seller on Amazon. Way too many knockoffs and duds out there to make the minimal price difference worth the risk.

The Transcend Class 6:

and the Kingston Class 10 that cost a ton more:

How big a factor is speed on an SD card for a phone?

Aside from dumping large amounts of data to it at once, how much does speed influence the performance in everyday use?

Bear in mind I've never watched a movie or something off my SD card. I'm talking about just pulling up photos, file trees, running apps, etc. Would I notice the difference between a class 4 and class 10?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
I have no clue how this started. Last thing I did was flash Amon_RA 2.3 recovery on FEB 9th then the newest CM7 nightly, 32 I believe. Everything was fine with my phone up until an hour ago. I was on the phone with Sprint, they screwed up my sign-up date. But thats a whole other story. My phones battery was getting low during the call. Once I ended the call I set my phone down then noticed it started going into a boot cycle. Now all it will do is boot to the splash screen then reboot again, and again, and again. I tried to pull the battery and boot to recovery. It does the same thing. It will let me get to the bootloader and select recovery. Once I select recovery, it starts its damn boot loop. Any ideas? PLEASE HELP!
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
Well since you can't get into recovery, try pushing a recovery via adb or fastboot...

download the amon-ra p36img.zip and place it onto your sdcard somehow, pull the battery, boot into bootloader, flash the pc36img and then reboot. they you'll have recovery and can load any rom you want again
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
^ Do exactly that [basically what I was saying/] But take out the battery and put the SD card in your computer via adapter to put the file on there.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
Ok, the PC36IMG.ZIP is on the root of my sd and the bootloader is not seeing it? Now what?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
if you're using windows make sure to not have the file as PC36IMG.zip.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
Ok, I got it to see it. I ran the update, once it rebooted I selected recovery. It first asked me if I want to delete data? Or something on those terms. I chose no, and it will not let me boot to recovery still.....Back to the boot loops :(

Edit: First time I must have selected clear storage by mistake. Anyway I hit no at that point. I just re-dl'd the pc36img.zip file to make sure. It does run in the boot loader but will not reboot to recovery. Still endless loop????
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sekigah84:
Considering you can't get into recovery still, I would suggest reflashing the recovery and erasing the data when prompted.

Did you do a nandroid backup? I only ask cause once you get back into recovery you can just restore that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
so the bootloader read the file, then you ran the update and then it asked you to delete data? I don't remember that being a part of the process. Try it again and as soon as it's done updating try to get into the recovery again. If not then try to use adb.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
Ya I hit clear storage at first by mistake. I believe if I hit that it will wipe my entire sd card and will loose my nand backup?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:

Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app or launch adb shell

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter)

I find it strange that all this happened after getting off the phone with Sprint lol.

Does it still say S-OFF at the top of your bootloader?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:
I copied this from the amon ra recovery thread

Copy recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img to the root of your sdcard

start the terminal app or launch adb

su(press enter)

flash_image recovery /sdcard/recovery-RA-supersonic-v2.3.img(press enter)

reboot recovery(press enter

now whenever I am about to start adb I use the command "./adb devices" without quotations of course, to make sure adb recognizes my evo oh and ignore the ./ that's just for mac users. When you enter that command you should see the serial number for your evo. after that I use

./adb shell

that should lead to

Then you type

su

and then you enter the rest of the commands. Sorry I didn't really organize it but that's pretty much it.

Hate to be the bearer of bad news... but you're probably out of luck, in that no one really knows how to fix this right now. It seems like this problem has been popping up recently more than in the past, I think it has something to do with CM7 personally, but I don't actually know that with any authority. Anyways, I never fixed it when it happened to me two weeks ago, after putting probably 20+ hours of work into it, and talking to VERY knowledgeable people on this forum, others, and on IRC networks.

My suggestion is, go through the list of things I tried, and see if they work for you... because its going to be what everyone recommends to you anyways. If none of the methods work, do a battery pull while updating the radio in PC36IMG.zip, to completely brick your phone... If you time it right your phone won't even turn on, and the LED light won't light up. Then take it to Sprint and ask for a new one.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mich11128:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thanamesjames:
Man I heard so many times that since I was in bootloader I would be able to fix my problem... but unfortunately I never could :(

In all honesty, between RUU and the various PC36IMGs I replaced pretty much every file and all the software on my phone... and it just kept bootlooping. I flashed recovery using fastboot and PC36IMG probably 20+ times, and all it would do is bootloop.

Anyways, regardless, OP, try the things I listed in the first thread I listed. When you ask for help those are going to be the things everyone suggests, but if you get lucky maybe someone will suggest something new! Good luck... don't spend too much time trying to fix it because it'll probably be in vain :(

How are you, NC enthusiasts using softkeys with your NC? I find it annoying to touch a small button and then additional touch every time I need to go back or pop up a menu. Also this small button is always covering something which can be tapped as well. Too much hassle.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] A. Nonymous:
No need to touch a small button. The softkeys simply flank both sides of the launcher.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] therealguppy:
I find soft-keys to be a god send for the NC, If you don't like the button you can just turn that feature off and setup soft-keys to pop up when you press the N key instead.

Or you could try button savior, which is in the market, many people are using it, but i found it far more annoy and less usefull.

Right now I have softkeys setup with the small button, at 75% transparent. and then i have the hard key N setup to single click my Launcher and double click brings up softkeys.

Also you know you can drag that button out of the way right? I have mine just above Middle and just enough off the edge to sneak a figure between it and the side, found it to be mostly out of the way there and I almost never have to move it.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] inferniac90:
I'm happy with button savior
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] thecalip:
I map menu and back to volume Up/down. I just don't like to have an extra tap with softkey
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] nicbennett:
I'll add my vote to button savior. Softkeys was in the way. I would also rather not map it to the N key as I use that for a task switcher. Button savior almost never results in accidental presses, is easy to get to, and does what I need. What else can I ask for?
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] khaytsus:
Set it up right and you get no silly button on the screen, use the N button to show the menus when necessary.

http://nookdevs.com/index.php?title=NookColor_Default_Launcher

And of course it any apps that hide the status bar, see if they have an option not to do it. Often they do, although most games don't.

[Nook Color Themes and Apps] hrizzy:
WOW! While I was flying back from New York, 2 pages of advices. Thanks for answers. Looking and trying at button savior... Seems the same - first tap to call shortcuts, second for back/menu.

I understand that this is because much Android software is done for phones, not tablets yet. What I really dislike that in Honeycomb they just sticked to the same philosophy, only adding the navigation bar at the bottom, imitating hardware buttons.

Volume buttons seems to be a good advice, but I always miss which button is for back, which for menu.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pceasar:
Not sure how so many like softkeys, anyone thats been on android for a while must have gotten used to having keys on their device. Thats why I dislike softkeys, too many taps and its always in the way, I much prefer the default Nook notification bar with back and menu buttons constantly there and I really like HoneyComb's implementation alls you need is a big square device you can move it around all day and your buttons follow you.

I'll try button savior if its nice I can do Nookie, though with HoneyComb being stable of late I can't see going back, only for flash maybe.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] vapor63:
I have SoftKeys setup without the floater button, just press N key and SoftKeys comes up. At the bottom are all the soft keys (and now you can add the volume keys there, in case you want to remap the hard volume keys but still have constant volume control), and at the top is a Task Switcher with all my recent apps in order. Setting N to a task-switcher-only setup seems like an unnecessary sacrifice of features.

Not sure how I did it, but I don't have a floater button at all, nor do I have to press anything to bring up Softkeys. They're just always there flanking either side of the regular BN button. One on the left is back obviously and the one of the right is menu. They show up in any program where I can see the BN button in the middle. The hardware button is the home button obviously. All I'm missing is search which I never use.

Why does it kill you. I like BS alot better. Sure I could config softkey but I actually prefer BS. You pick what you pick and I will use what I want to use.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] KitF:
SK's button is bigger and gets in the way of a lot of UI elements. Button Savior can be moved, and it's only like 10 pixels on the side of the screen.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] therealguppy:
? SK button can be moved anywhere you like... it can also be turned off if you wish. They are both highly configurable, although SK is completely free right now where BS is like 99cents for the pro features.

They are both great options and good APPs. I would recommend to try both and pick the one you like best.

EDIT: O yeah I forgot you can also change the size of the button... I have mine on Medium which i think is the default and never had trouble with it getting in the way.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
Thanks for demonstrating exactly what I was talking about...

SKs button can ALSO be moved AND even be made smaller.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] RoboRay:
When the reason they give for preferring one is available for both. Imagine someone saying they prefer Mustangs over Chargers because the Mustang they saw is painted red. If they only checked, the'd find out that Dodge dealers can provide red cars, too.

If you have other reasons for preferring one over the other, fine, but it's ridiculous if your reason is something that they both offer.
[Nook Color Themes and Apps] pceasar:
I for one just tried Button Savior and I prefer it! Now I may actually try nookie again, it seems to work every time too. I have looked at settings in SKeys but maybe I'm missing the one setting that makes it stick to one specific side of the screen and never move regardless of portrait or landscape and be like 10 pixels on the screen while it sticks to the side, cause thats what BS does

If anyone has the settings that makes softkeys do that I'll sign up especially since its free. I do like when softkeys does the screen dim thing but that constantly moving little button and sometimes in the way button is what put me off to start.

I don't have a dog in this race just want a solid solution.
