[Captivate General] csmeance:
I already have gotten 2 new sim cards and am going to get another one today. I got the 5th one a few days ago and put the 2.2 update from Samsung and Att on it. Today the same thing is happening. I'm going to make a video of it and send it to att and samsung. This is getting ridiculous...

I'm using the stock charger and the ATT stuff only. I've noticed though with the 2.2 update, the phone will vibrate twice quickly, then once, then freeze and shut off and restart. With 2.1 on all the other phones, it would just restart without any sort of vibrate/tone.

Also this is with it off the charger and on the charger. It doesn't matter at all.
[Captivate General] csmeance:
Just as an aftertought, the only thing that I have done in common is talked on the phone while it's been on the charger. When I do this the phone gets VERY hot and I end up using the speaker phone function. Is it normal to do this on the capitvate? I know my old Tilt 2 used to do the same.

Update: Called up ATT and they said to get another new sim, they think it might have been corrupted somehow with the captivate update. I'm going to grab a new one!
[Captivate General] scidon37:
When they send you a new phone, do you get a new battery too? You said it gets really hot, maybe there's something wrong with that.

I'm wondering if its possible to make the backlight lower then what is the lowest setting on the stock htc rom? If so, roms/apps that let me lower it?

Thanks,

Download adjbrightness from the market.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildland:
Major overkill for just adjusting brighness, but Tasker can set these very low brightness levels as well - If you have other uses for Tasker automation, it's a very powerful app. On the Brightness front, it can be used to create brightness preset widgets, or widgets which popup a brightness selection menu, and of course to automate setting brightness based on any number of circumstances...
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Tasker is paid thats overkill for just a simple task IMO.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Well read my below post
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Actually, I waslooking for an app that allows me to turn off the backlight completely, or make it nearly so....adjustable brightness doesn't go any lower then the native widget
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wildland:
Just experimented with Tasker which allows you to set the brightness to a value from 0 to 255, setting a value of 1 didn't look too much dimmer than the dimmest that the system slider would set (on CM7, not stock) and setting 0 seemed to be the same as turning the screen off (CM7's screen off animation was displayed as the screen went blank.).
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Hmmmmmm, well that's great....hopefully I can make an app that will do what I want
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
I'd love that app if you make it.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Its not liking me, I'm having a hard time keeping the screen from going off with the backlight
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Gahh Its Lee:
Can you just set it so low that its basically off but not 100%?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cryous:
Its not much better then the stock lowest. So I'm not sure about just the backlight being off being possible

[Hero CDMA General] smokester311:
Hello all and thanks in advance for the help.

I just got a refurb Hero from Sprint a couple weeks ago. I Rooted with Z4Root and started trying out Roms. I had just went from CM 6.2 to 6.1. Had everything working fine until my screen would stop coming out of hibernate mode. I would have to reset the phone to get the screen back on. It has gradually gotten worse (over the course of one day). Now when I reset the phone I might get the screen to turn on 1 out of 40 times, but the screen is now all messed up even when it does turn on now. I cant figure anything out other than to answer a call because I know where the slider is supposed to be on the screen for answering calls, so if someone calls I cant see anything I just swipe the screen and it answers fine.

Any ideas what might be causing this issue? Would it be a harware issue?

Thanks again
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Yea I would try a different download you might have gotton a bad one. Also you should try a different rom after a full wipe. If that didn't work then I would say its a hardware issue.

[Hero CDMA General] smokester311:
Thanks for the reply. I did nandroid back to every previous backup I had. Now I cant get the screen to turn on at all so, Im guessing its hardware. taking it to Sprint Today, we'll see what they say.

I was just wondering if there was something to do with installing different roms that could have cause the screen to go out? I am thinking not, but I am new to the whole rooting and rom-ing thing. Is it possible that something I did caused the screen to go out?
[Hero CDMA General] laie1472:
Na I doubt it. Hardware usually is the manufacturers fault or user error. Unless you droped it, banged it up real bad or flashed a gsm radio your good. And a screen issue such as yours is most def not a rom issue.The rom dev's on here are solid. And XDA is a well known and respected site. If you need any help with anything just let me know.

Engadget survey wants some feedback from us about our NookColor devices...

http://www.engadget.com/2011/02/11/how-would-you-change-barnes-and-nobles-nook-color/

Perhaps our feedback might influence some tweaks in the future. Prolly not, but hey...ya never know!

For the average user...some of the things requested are understandable...

However, lots of people that frequent Engadget and other tech sites should be opening their devices to the fullest potential. My NC currently runs at an OC'd 1.1ghz (stable) gets terrific battery life (way better than my Galaxy S phone)...runs HC off internal memory (unofficial release) and blows away ANY other device at THIS pricepoint.

Asking for more...while more is always betta, is just ludicrous. Unless, of course we wanna pay twice as much. I would be happy with an official 2.2 firmware update...but only so our XDA devs can tweak it even further!!
[Nook Color General] khaytsus:
I won't bother.. Most of those idiots are asking for 2560x1280 resolution, 4Ghz quad core processor, 8G of ram, two weeks of battery life, 250g weight, and Android 5.0.

[Nook Color General] A. Nonymous:
Wait. What's so unreasonable about 8 GB of RAM, two weeks battery life and Android Lollipop? Granted the quad core processor is extreme, but I see no problems with the other stuff. Lollipop kicks ass.

[Optimus One, P500, V General] Magnetix:
Hey guys, I'm trying to update the VOID rom from Delta to Charlie and I'm using my PC now. I'm trying to toggle it to USB mode but it's not recognized on my PC. I usually do it at my friend's place and it recognizes it perfectly but on my PC it doesn't.

When I plug it in, it says "LG Android USB Device - Not recognized" or "No Driver Found"

How do I go about fixing this? I've already wiped the data and everything, just need to put the zip file in.

Been trying to get a hold of my friend but he's got class until tonight, and I kinda wanna not be depending on him if I need to do stuff with my phone, so I might as well try to get the drivers on my PC.

Any help would be great
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Magnetix:
Ok, so I just found the most random fix.

I took out the SD card, kept the cover off, booted into recovery, put the SDcard back in and mounted it, toggle USB and it worked.

So random but it worked!
[Optimus One, P500, V General] HK-47:
I had the same problem, and the fix was to install the LG USB driver from the microSD card included with the phone.
[Optimus One, P500, V General] paolog89:
Hello people, I have the same problem.

It works well but when I go into recovery and I toggle USB nothing happens.

http://www.lg.com/sg/support/produc...rgetPage=support-product-profile-mobile-redux

Download the LG Mobile Support tool first ... from there you can download the LG USB Drivers ... Once they are installed, your SD card will be detected in recovery ..

Nothing to uninstall ... PM if you need help
[Optimus One, P500, V General] Vivasanti:
Could also just put the microSD in a card reader and put the ZIP on that way :)

[Q]What's the different between (512Mb & 1Gb) data file running Android from sdCard??

Good day everybody,

I just want to know [Q]What's the different between (512Mb & 1Gb) data file running Android from sdCard??

because I'm having problems with running the MDJ FroYo HD v.4.6 in 512 Mbyte HTC HD2 version, such as;

- freezing

- slow movement while browsing the menu

- can't access the Market where it always saying that the username or password is wrong

while the same Android ROM is running smoothly on the T-Mobile HD2 version without any single problem and very fast.

both phones, the T-Mobile HD2 version and the HTC HD2 512Mbyte version are updated to the latest Radio (2.15.50.14) and Microsoft Windows 6.5 ROM (3.14.531.1)

any hints??
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
512Mb & 1Gb data files are simply the amount of space u'll be taking off d sd card for android apps & data installations...So d bigger,d more space you'll have for your android and less space on your sd card for things like music, ebooks, images etc...

IMHO....1GB & above is highly recommended so u don't have low memory issues after tossing android on your sd card..This is cuz u might end up needing more apps & some apps lyk high-end games do tk up a lot of space.

As for speed differences between the two Leos...Well d TMobile Hd2's more buffed up and so..........U might want 2 try lighter android builds cuz d HD versions are some what heavier....Also your choice of Memory card class & capacity also helps...i'd recommend an 8GB Class (4)...

hi

what kernel do you use?

try the hastarin 8.6 kernel. i used to have similar problems (i mean laggy phone) and the kernel kind of sorted it out (i use the same android build as you do). maybe it'll help you (i don't know if it's gonna help market problem but i think 'freezing' might be cured)
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ZeroNEX:
Thanks for the reply, so does it mean that I will have only a 1 GB in the sdCard dedicated for Android and all applications from the market???

I mean if I move the apps & games I downloaded from market to the sdCard using the Manage Applications under setting menu, will it make any diffrence???

Thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ZeroNEX:
Thsnks for the reply, but it's not helping as I said in the first post

" I'm running the same version of this ROM in more than one T-Mobile HD2s and all of them run very smoothly without any problems"

Then how it works in the T-mobile smootly but not in the 512Mbyte version ???
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] ZeroNEX:
Aha, here we go somebody with the same problem :cool:

Yes it might be the kernal, the kernal in the phone shows these lines:

2.6.32.15.s8.0-gf06973d-dirty

mdeejay@mdeejay-VirtualBox#10

Mon Dec 13 17:53:37 KART 2010

And I do remember that when I un-rar the ROM file, there was a kernal folder but I didn't use it because I don't know how!!!

Whould you please upload me the kernal you're using or give me the link you download it from??

Would some tell me how to install the new kernal ???

Regarding the Market issue, just don't worry about it " I was entering the wrong pass " :DMany thanks
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] truc007:
Swap the SD cards between the phones and try again.

If it follows the SD Card (and you're sure the setup is EXACTLY the same) it's your SD ;)

It could be a bad SD or you may just have to delete/recreate the partition and format it.

Your phone are also different. I'm not sure it's just the mem size, some chip could be differents, drivers...
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] voncrane:
Yes u'll have only 1GB dedicated to android and all apps...By this i mean it'll show up as available "phone" memory (just think of it as a virtual drive but in reality it takes physical space 4rom ur sd card)...I.e..using an 8GB mem card? Phone storage will read 1024MB while SD storage will read abt 6.xxGB...

Yes, if u move apps 2 sd it'll mk a difference but i think 1Gb is enuf for apps and u don't really need 2 move apps 2 "sd" storage as it might cuz slight speed issues since u r running android from d "same" mem card.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] emjakmaciej:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=787588

here it is. try the 8.6 (that's the one i'm using).

to install it on your phone:

unpack it

find the zImage file

copy it into android folder

find the root folder from the kernel zip

place the folder onto android

reboot

delete the root folder you pasted

(if i messed up something please, someone, correct me)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k3kenny:
So US cellular just got the update for 2.2 and i tried to do it on my own. i kept getting error 155 at the very beginning and i would have to recover my phone. after doing that about 3 times i hard reset my phone and took out the memory card. when i tried to update it again it got a little bit farther, but i got the same error, and when i recovered it after that, it just got stuck at the HTC screen when i first turned it on. after trying to restart it with or without my sd card in nothing made a difference, so i went to the boot menu and it would load and say that there was no image. i think when i updated it and recovered it somehow deleted 2.1 and now i have nothing, so if someone can give me a link to a flash of 2.1, i would be very grateful. if you dont think that's the problem, then give me some other ideas.

I was actually at the sprint store off of Russell Parkway this weekend getting my wife a new phone and asked about 4g.

There are a few threads all over the place about how you can get your mess of applications into alphabetical order using grid-view. I don't know of a way to sort it automatically, but if you want to you can do this:

Settings -> Applications -> Manage Applications -> All -> TwLauncher -> Clear Data

This will completely reset your home screen to defaults (assuming stock launcher) - however you will find all your apps (system and user) neatly ordered in alphabetical order.

For most people I think recreating the home screen will be much easier than sorting every app alphabetically.

I've only tested this on the International version, so I'm not sure if it will work on other variants.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] iammodo:
would be a bit of a pain to do this everytime you installed any application.

Shame there isnt a default setting as my partner ( for some crazy reason) likes the sideways scrolling rather then up and down.
