Yea...weird, IDK. I flashed the new modem, still no AP. Tries to connect but eventually fails. I suppose I should try a different laptop.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nardusg:
I had that behavior on stock already. Just learnt to do with out it and now I it does not bother me.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Works fine for me on all CM7 builds. Check your settings and also make sure you have a valid lockscreen for it to work.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] The K-Zoo Kid:
what exactly do you mean a valid lockscreen? I am using stock
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] peeturr:
Some people like to use third party apps which disable the stock lockscreen like "nolock" which doesn't work with noled. Go to manage apps, noled, clear data. Leave all settings intact except enabling the notifications you want shown. Should work out the box. Don't enable blink.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sonicdescent:
When you upgrade from the kernel baked into serendipity, do you need to do anything other than flash the new one? When I did this without changing any kernel settings in CWM, I got horrible battery drain, and looked to see kswapd0 jumping in at 50-75% on osmonitor. I know this has something to do with the lagfix but didnt want to monkey around in CWM until I was clear. In other words does flashing k13a over the serendipity speedmod carry over tweak settings or does it not, which would have caused my problem, or could the runaway kswapd0 be from something else? Flashing back to the backed up original kernel does fix the runaway process.

Only reason I want to upgrade is to keep learning how this all works together. And im a sucker for the latest and greatest. Searching yielded info on that process, but not much about how to remedy the issue, so apologies if im missing a relevant thread.

Thanks in advance.

I would start by calibrating the battery. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=7723557 this usually fixes my drain. hope that helps otherwise i would start with a stock reflash with odin before trying again it couldnt hurt.

[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ozzmanj1:
I have a Milestone. I flashed a CyanogenMod rom to it the other day. The Rom worked but after a day I decided to go back to Telus Lite V4. Unfortunately now every time I flash a new Rom, no matter what it is, it jus shows the booting animation forever. The only time I can flash it and have it work is to flash an SBF. Even then it will be glitchy. I don't know whats going on. I am wiping everything between flashes, dalvik, cache, system. Everything. I tried the Telus Lite again and it does the same thing, boot animation. Anyone know what may be the issue? And or how to fix it. I want to go back to Telus Lite V4 again. Thank you in advance.

PS. I have reflashed a stock firmware, then gone back through the steps to do the custom recovery. I have then tried to reflash the Telus Lite V4 and all I get is f/c on the anddroid market. Adb pushing a newer market apk does nothing, still constant f/c. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I did a search and didn't find this topic for the Tab..... If you have encountered this, please let me know how you resolved it.

I am currently using ADW Launcher EX instead of the Samsung one. I have set it as the default under the settings > applications and also downloaded Home Switcher and it is showing ADWLauncher as the default, but frequently (very) when I click the home button I am prompted to chose between the two and set the default.

Has anyone encountered this, and if so what did you do to resolve it?
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juusuhako:
It is UNDERNEATH the round glass that protects the lens, so its on the actual lens. It doesnt show up on pictures when im in the camera, and it focuses perfectly on whatever I click - ergo, it doesnt affect pictures but I wanna hear if anyone else has this "issue".

Images attached, open in Windows Picture Viewer (or whatever you use) at a reasonable size, cause the resolution is 2560x1920, which is too blurry in full-size.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Juusuhako:
On first picture its on left side, and 2nd picture its on the upper. Its a white line (the blue-greenish is just a light reflecting!)

When applying Lens-protection I did NOT notice this (I would've if it had been there) - could a little (big?) dust particle have slid its way in, some crazy how? Cause wouldn't it ruin the camera if the lens had such a big scratch?

will not sync with exchange server calendar, but works fine with email and contacts. anyone else having this issue?
[HTC Inspire 4G] awtryau89:
I had the same thing happen to me. I went into calendar and unchecked all my calendars. Then I deleted the Exchange Account and set it up again. This time it synced up with my EAS calendar fine. I think mine was that I am syncing with some google calendars and EAS. After that I check my google calendars and they all came back.
[HTC Inspire 4G] alwayslearning:
thanks for the feedback; I did try deleting the account and reinstalled without any other calendars. strange thing is I have three exchange accounts and this new phone with HTC new Sense allows you to sync more than one exchange account, the other two worked just fine :confused: it is my main account that is not working with calendar only. I will try it again in the order that worked for you and see what happens,

update: it didn't work, there must be something with that one account, strange it will sync with my other phone and my Galaxy Tab
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
I use CM_InternetSharing app on my WM mobile phone to create a hot spot. The software works great and all my Windows pc's & my brothers iPad find my cell phone and gain a internet connect but the Elocity A7 does not connect. The Elocity A7 does connect to my home network but it does not find the mobile hot spot.

Note: WiFi Analyzer finds my WM phone but I can't connect - So I guess it has to do something with the WEP encryption between WM & Andriod in obtaining a IP.

My elocity is on build 0127.

Any ideas?
[A7 General] ninetoes49:
I have to install the adhoc-fix.zip by dexter on to see my hotspot I have a hotspot on my virgin mobile phone . do a search here on the forum for adhoc-fix.zip and it will give you the link. You rename it to update.zip and install like the mods on the a7 but you do not have to clear stuff.

ninetoes49
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
I found the adhoc-fix.zip. Did you apply this using recovery? Ie. rename to update.zip.

I also seen that someone mention to execute a chmod on a file. Do you know how to get keyboard in command prompt mode?
[A7 General] ninetoes49:
yes just apply using recovery. I dont know about the other.
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
Well I applied the adhoc-fix.zip. It got me closer. I can see my phone broadcasting SID XDA-Wifi-Sharing but it won't obtain a IP address. -- Thanks. I'll keep looking
[A7 General] ninetoes49:
I run the barnicle legacy on my phone to make my hot spot. I have a virgin mobile samsung intercept.
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
I believe barnicle is for Andriod -- so you are communicating Andriod to Android. My phone is Windows Mobile running XDA CM Internet Sharing. My A7 will not connect to my phone while other PCs (windows) in my home can connect to my phone.
[A7 General] michaelviner:
Im in the same boat and I cant get the darn thing to connect when to the XDA-wifi-sharing (adhoc) network on my wm touch pro 2. I wish someone could solve this. I used to be able to dual boot my phone into android 2.2 (rooted) system and set up the hot spot on that and it would connect but that doesnt even work now for A7. I wish someone who really knows this stuff would give it some attention. Ive looked everywhere I find a search query. This is especially annoying since I cant switch to a different phone for at least another six months and I use the phone to get remote access to the internet for all my hardware.
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
I've got a work around if you are up to it. I starting thinking about a previous user using barnicle. So I ported Andriod to my WM6.5 TP2 CMDA http://sites.google.com/site/androidport/downloads. I launched Andriod from my WM and went to Android Market place and downloaded barnicle. Lauched barnicle and connected my A7. It works. I just have to remember to boot into Andriod when I want to tether.
[A7 General] tdively1:
Is there another place to get the adhoc-fix.zip? I have tried pulling it down but without any luck.
[A7 General] michaelviner:
Glad to see you keeping this alive. I did the same thing except the android rom i installed on tp2 had a wifi hotspot feature built into the wireless settings. Its a pain going back and forth though and i find wm is way more stable. I saw someone mention wifi encryption ane cmod on a file. I dont know much about these and how to fiddle with it but im gonna keep searchin.
[A7 General] tdively1:
Ninetoes49 was nice enough to povide a link to the adhoc-fix.zip file at the following site:

http://www.4shared.com/file/dHDOwV-T/adhoc-fix.html

After installing,, my A7 saw the barnicle SSID. I haven't used WPA yet but at least the wifi link is working.
[A7 General] michaelviner:
I have windows mobile phone and barnicle is for android. From reading alot, i guess froyo (android 2.2) has problems with WEP connections. The tethering program i use on windows mobile, xda wifi-sharing, uses wep encryption only. Im wondering if something can be changed within the code to make it open like it is in android tethering program which works fine. I would keep using android on windows mobile phone except has no bluetooth functionality and its freezes up a lot. By the way, ive noticed problems with the a7 dropped from home wep networks ive been on too.
[A7 General] tdively1:
I wish I could help more but I am not familiar with Windows Mobile products.

I have been wondering if I should even fool with encryption on my mobile setup. I figure no one can jump on if its not running. I only use it occassionaly. Is it possible that enough people in a given area could "clog" the connection if I don't limit access with encryption?
[A7 General] hudd333:
wep

I'm assuming you have a key assigned in the WEP setup. Basically WEP is not secure since there are tools readily available to crack the key you use in less than 10min. If you don't broadcast the ssid that would make it more difficult since most people would not see the network readily. You would have to try that to see if you can access with an ssid that is not being broadcast. Some systems have a problem connecting to wireless networks that aren't broadcasting the ssid.

I am connecting to my home net using WPA/WPA2 with no problem. I have not connected to a tethering capability.
[A7 General] Marbieskarb:
I have a TP2 (Sprint) and had the same issues as you do. I was using the XDA wifi sharing app but have found an older version of wmwifirouter that works and doesn't require a wep.

There is one caveat though. Using the app has broke my internet sharing one time causing me to have to clear storage. So, if you check the net for wmwifirouter 0.91 and use that, you should be able to connect after the adhoc fix is flashed on your a7.
[A7 General] dkcarmona:
Thanks Marbieskarb -- for the older version tip of wimwifirouter 0.91 http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=152502&d=1233460803 It worked for me too but after I applied the adhoc fix discuss earlier in this thread. So, now I do not have to dual boot my TP2 to Andriod just to use a tethering app. Great. I'm running wimwifirouter on TP 2 WM6.5.

[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RegnierD:
Actually, there would be a ton of benefits to a Thunderbolt rom... Namely the CDMA base of the rom, as opposed to the GSM nature of a Desire Z rom. This would fix phantom calls, and probably optimize battery life overall. I'm no porting expert, but with even these few subtle changes, it would impact much if the rom's functionality.

I tried asking in the development forum, but since I don't have any posts it wouldn't let me.......as I'm a newb.:D I rarely post on forums unless I have problems or can offer advice to help someone else, but I'm still new to all the root level modifications such as ROMS, themes, etc.

Anyways, I flashed Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo ROM, which I love btw, and all is working great, so far. I tried flashing the Themed LauncherPro for Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo and it flashed ok, and all seemed to work fine except one thing. When I scroll to the left or right there's only 1 screen on each side of the home screen whereas there's always 3 screens on the left and right side of the home screen using HTC Sense. I tried searching, but couldn't find anything on the matter.

Also, from what I could tell there was no way to go into any settings for the launcher pro after I flashed that theme. I had installed the original launcher pro app, but had to un-install it as per directions before flashing the "Themed LauncherPro for Myn's Warm TwoPointTwo" mod. I'd like to use this theme because it provides 5 rows on the bottom to leave more room up top on the home screen, but if it only allows me to use only 3 total screens versus the 7 total screens in HTC Sense then I'll do without it.

I hope I was able to describe this in detail enough for someone to understand what the heck I'm trying to say. I guess I'll find out. ;)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfxpzeke01:
When I flashed it the first time and hit Menu, nothing happened except the haptic feedback. I thought this was odd that I couldn't access any sort of settings menu. I suppose it was a bad flash or there were some conflicts going on because I failed to wipe data, system and cache after having flashed a couple ROM'S with Myn's being the last. Last night I did a proper "wipe" and re-flashed Myn's ROM and then re-flashed a few things afterwards like Vanilla Lockscreen, RLS5 browser fix, Transparent Title bar, etc...

I'll try to re-flash and see what happens. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tfxpzeke01:
All worked when I reflashed! :D

The moral of my story is to do a proper "wipe" before reflashing ROM's, so things don't conflict. I'm still learning as all of this is still fairly new to me. I rooted for the first time about 3 weeks ago.

Hello, my name is Esteban, I'm from Argentina and I'm new in the forum.

I'm going to buy in Rogers Canada the Samsung Captivate ( SHG-i896 )

I'm planning to Unlock it for using it in Argentina and I have 2 questions:

The easyest to answer: will the phone work here if I unlock it with Helroz app? (I've checked and the bands are the same, i mean, is something ELSE that could make my phone not to work here?)

and If so, the Captivate from Rogers Canada comes with 2.1 stock android... if I unlock it in 2.1 , and upgrate to 2.2 official or to a CRom, will it still be Unlocked? (I dunno how android works for networks permissions, i think it will still work, but i guess you could answer better).

I hope you can answer those ittems... if all goes as I want, in a month I'll have a Captivate in my hands.

Thanks. Esteban.

update 1:

PLEASE SPECIFY, if you manager to succefully unlock, wich tool did you use and where did you BUY the phone (Rogers, AT&T), tnx!

other thing: i need yo know where did you buy it in Rogers or AT&T (i mean, for your profile info) because i896 (Rogers) and i897 (AT&T) are EXACTLY the same, except when it comes to UNLOCKING.... the AT&T is easy.. but the Rogers one, is trickier. (and I would buy it in ROGERS) tnx!
