[Venue Pro General] Spinstorm:
There are occasionally bargains on ebay with cheaper VP's but I am probably going to go the route of using com gateway to get them to buy one for me and get it shipped here and pay using paypal. I added it up roughly.

Phone $450

Fee $45

US Shipping Free

Total $495

------

International Shipping $50

Total $545 (£335.23)

-----

Unlock £45

----

Tax £79.50

(VAT at 20% and Import Duty at 6.5%

GRAND TOTAL = £414.5 + £41 unlock = £455.5

These are approximate prices. The exchange rate fluctuates and tax depends on

the declared amount on the phone. It may be much less. But state tax may also be included. Unlock fee may be more as well.

Having said that a total of £450 which I imagine is the upper maximum is less than

the UK price currently and without the wait.

Ok, I was an early adopter of this phone bought it the day it came out July 18th. There are a great many things that disappoint me about this phone, main thing being lack of Froyo at the moment. I'm tired of waiting for samsung, I have little faith it will truely resolve my issues which are the following

In order to use wifi I must reboot my phone, this only occurred after the official JH7 was loaded on it through the over the air update that ATT did.

Constantly having lag all the time, and having apps running that I never ever use and dont want such as ATT Navigator, ATT Family Map, etc. I was able to root the phone and get rid of those but it really hasnt helped.

My stereo bluetooth headphones must be paired EVERY single time I want to use them, its not the headphones because they work perfectly with 4 other devices.

Of course the GPS, it sucks for everyone, any of these or all fix that? Samsung seems unwilling.

So maybe I'm wishing too much but I've watched almost every youtube review of the ROMs that are out there and theres a few details that stick out for things that I want in a rom so I'll detail them here and hopefully someone can point me in the right direction as to which one has the best combo.

1. froyo based, I need 2.2 for certain apps

2. I've heard theres different modems that can affect HSPA, I want fastest download and upload.

3. No wild color schemes, I dont like orange or green. I quite like the look of the phone I think samsung did a great job with the touchwiz and I know theres alot of you out there that perfer the "vanilla" versions of Android. I'm not one of those people. I really loved the look of the cognition rom and some of the things it had visually.

4. Overclocking would be nice but not at the expense of battery life, I'm right in the 24-30 hour range just as most are on here, better would be great if possible.
[Captivate General] vaiol123:
Go to romkitchen.org and build your own there. There are many threads about the advantages of one modem over another, and you can pick pretty much everything yourself. Then search for CLShortfuse's GPS fix and you'll be set.

Don't worry, its extremely easy
[Captivate General] mcord11758:
24-30 hours of what kind of use? There are a couple roms out there with stock appearance

Cognition

Perception

Precision

Andromeda

Docs

30 hours, you have to consider what you are asking. I want faster dl, no lag, better gps, but I don't want to eat any more battery. It is possible to get 30hrs of light to moderate use. Heavy use will yield 12-18
[Captivate General] shoman94:
Andromeda v1.2 is a rom that is pretty vanilla....simple and has the things your looking for. You have to try roms that you think will be what you want.

Sent from my Andromeda-Captivate on the XDA-App
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
+2 for Andromeda 1.2.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
You can fix all of these if you root the phone. The best ROM out there is the Rom Kitchen (aka "Doc's ROMs") over at romkitchen.org. You can "cook up" your own ROMs using the specifications you want. This is what is so great about the ROM kitchen, especially when compared to the other ROMs like Cognition: you can pick what you want, and don't have to take whatever it was that someone else decided was best. For example, if you want the benefits of rooting but want to keep touchwiz, the ROM kitchen has an option for that. It also lets you pick things like the theme, boot animation, apps, etc. There are 5 captivate modems, and you might just have to experiment to see which one is best. I did this, and it was well worth it. The one that worked best for me was the XXJPP modem. Just load a seperate ROM with each of the different modems, flash each, and download a few things to see which is faster. Also check and see how well the GPS works on each.

Rooting will fix the lag, although one of the ROM kitchen kernels (Glitterball's Voodoo) will improve it even further. There is something called "Project Voodoo" which is a community of developers who build a kernel tweak called Voodoo which completely fixes the remaining lag issue (this is caused by the inefficient way the captivate organizes its folders), and also improves a few other features such as resolution.
[Captivate General] ih4ckback:
You should go try out my ROM its small and fast and stable. I'm getting great battery life and DL/UL speeds. Give it a shot.

Here.
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
Well I decided to go with the serendipity 5.9, I love the speed, my upload and download speeds almost doubled, bluetooth and wifi finally work like they are supposed to!!

I do have a few complaints though, like the keyboard for texting, I loved the samsung one, I hate swipe any way i can get the stock one back on there?
[Captivate General] xdahgary:
Use the add on kitchen and add samsung keyboard. download zip and flash.
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
It comes with the Gingerbread keyboard as well.

However, if you're still interested in the Samsung keyboard, it's in here:

[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
I just found that, wow, short of having a flash on the camera and video chat this phone is now everything I could have ever dreamed of

Holy crap what a difference. Everything actually works and is super fast. I would be on cloud nine right now except for the fact I'm probably soon getting the Atrix, this will def hold me over till then.
[Captivate General] Vivified:
Im using Precision 3.5 with the monochrome 3.5 theme. Its running the latest suckerpunch kernel. For sure my favorite combo I've tried so far. Its really amazing, not to mention dev'd by ryude, who is one of the best!
[Captivate General] osendott:
Samsung Captivate running Serendipity 5.12 Paragon6 1200-100hz (uv'd and slightly oc'd) and I9000XXJVE modem. Almost have it edited/themed up how I want it. Need to get started on custom icons and I think I want to try my hand at a completely custom framework. Anyway, I was perfectly happy with 'dipity out of the box, but since I've flashed Paragon this phone is AMAZING. It's quite fast and the battery seems to last forever. Just now recharging for the first cycle after having to reflash my rom w/o a full battery, so after today I'll know for sure how long the battery last, but initially it seems like I'll get a day or so with my daughter constantly playing video's and games all day.
[Captivate General] pontiacmn:
I have tried the team phoenix roms. I'm currently running phoenix 7.0 and am happy so far.
[Captivate General] mtx187:
I am running phoenix. 7 with latest paragon 1200 rom using uv and this is by far the best combo I have had yet. Using jl3 modem and call quality is great. I change roms almost daily and this one will be here for a while, I am happy with everything this combo has to offer and speed and battery life is excellent.
[Captivate General] osendott:
...How quickly things change, now running Serendipity 6 with all the above still the same.. although I think I may flash the 1400 Paragon and try that out..
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
just went up to Serendipity 6.2 yesterday, same battery issues again im trying to do what I did last time to fix that part

busy day though, just got an ipad last night :) been trying to ha0xr that thing, no luck on jailbreaking 4.3 yet though
[Captivate General] osendott:
14:25:12 uptime, moderate use and I'm t 70%

I guess every phone is different...
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
im still working through my first charge after wiping the battery stats so im sure it will be better once I cycle through

In those screen shots posted how did you get those multiple icons at the bottom? i mean other than the stock serendipity theme. im running the redrom right now, i dont want to lose the red but i would like the more icons at the bottom other than the phone the :: for app tray and the globe for internet
[Captivate General] Jay1390:
I wouldn't mind knowing either. I'm thinking it's a different launcher, but I'm only guessing. Still kinda new to android.
[Captivate General] rodimus_prime:
I tried wiping the davlik cache too whatever that is
[Captivate General] Brosto:
I'm using FireFly 2.5, very happy with it. It meets most of your criteria, but is more geared towards themes. Overall, its extreemly fast and stable.

I gave Phoenix 7 a try, but it didn't have AllShare on it. I searched around to try and install it separate, but couldn't figure it out. Besides that, phoenix 7 seemed really great. The speed was amazing.

Hope it helps.

Hello everyone, I would have posted this under:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=881937

but my less then 10 post restriction is not allowing me to :(.

My problem is once the ROM boots up, as soon as it says "Preparing SD Card", my phone freezes. The only thing I can think of is that I have an incompatible SD card. I am currently using the one that came with my phone which is a class 2 16gb SanDisk. What would you guys recommend that I use?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] Azerox:
Use a program called SDFormatter (from Panasonic) .. format it.

Then use windows format utility to give it a slow format 4096 cluster FAT32

Works great for me on "broken" cards.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] jvillejoe:
He's right. The stock card should work.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
A class 2 Sandisk should be fine unless it's defective. Maybe you have build setup wrong... have you tried a different build? Try that and see if it works. Are you trying to dualboot or anything like that? Or load the build with magldr?
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reodan92:
Alright thanks for the info, I'll give that a try and see how it goes.

:)

Possibly and no I haven't tried a different build yet but I will if this continues to happen. I am not dual booting at this moment but I am using magldr to boot up android.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] zarathustrax:
If you are using magldr, you need a build compatible with magldr or edit the init.rc file in the build to make it work with magldr. Look at the thread in my signature... post 2 has some builds that I edited to work with magldr. I'll be adding more soon.
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] reodan92:
Alright, well I've formatted my sd card and now it's worse then before. It just stays stuck at the MAGDLR screen and doesn't boot up at all. As far as I know the build is compatible with MAGDLR so I'm not sure what the problem is.

[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] linj:
Hello all,

I use a campus-wide wifi network (MAC registered, since the WPA2 Enterprise network requires the phone to keep inputting my password for credentials) while I'm at school, and sometimes the wifi network will drop and not reconnect.

For example, after a random period of standby time, when I turn on the phone and look at it, the wifi will still be happily connected with a proper DHCP-requested IP address, but all efforts at using ping or the Internet browser and so on will time-out.

As far as I can tell, calling reassociate() on the connection is not very effective, as I've tried applications that monitor the connection and try to reassociate().

The problem most often occurs when I leave campus and then come back on.

If I cycle wifi on and off, then the wireless will work again. However, this is annoying since sometimes push Gmail will not get sent in on time. This is also problematic for Voice, since that requires data, and if the phone thinks wifi works, it will not bother connecting to 3G/data to get Voice messages.

Any thoughts? Log-looking suggestions? I'm open to anything! Does anyone have this problem too? (I think my personal wifi router drops similarly so.)

InfX and I looked at the sleep states of the wifi and CPU performance in thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=950655 , but that seemed inconclusive (although it is slimly possible I am not building the kernel correctly).

Thanks muchly,

Jeff

Edit: I am using rafpigna's kernel on a Sense (imilka's mytouch 4g) build.

I'm trying to connect to our companies network through a VPN PPTP connection. The connection does not work and this is what I can see with logcat:

So as you can see the tunnel works but the problem is with the socket() call returning an error.

The problem is here in pptp.c line 238 I think.

Can any kernel developer help? Perhaps this is only a kernel configuration issue because standard HTC Desire and Motorola Droid seem to work without problem.

I have tested it on the P500 with stock kernel, drellisdee kernel and Der_Caveman kernel. Always the same problem.

Hmm, 2.2.1 uses a different kernel. Perhaps we have to check kernel configs of both versions.

DISCLAIMER: It is now 5AM and I've had about 8 hours of sleep over the past 48 hours so I might be imagining things. I'm pretty sure there is a difference in audio quality, but without 2 phones side by side, it's hard to compare :p

Instructions:

1) Flash any DesireHD ROM, your choice!

2) Flash the attached zip file with CWM (it includes the Inspire 4G kernel)

3) Install the attached PropEditor apk, and run it.

4) Open build.prop using PropEditor and change

htc.audio.hac.enable=0

to

htc.audio.hac.enable=1

5) Hit the menu button and save! REBOOT!! win?

Let me know how it goes! I do hope I'm not going crazy :)

I'll update tomorrow with what exactly I did. Too tired to type it out now, GOODNIGHT.

THE DIFFERENT VERSIONS:

-V2: Better quality than V3, speakerphone microphone does not work

-V3-test: Slightly worse quality than V2, better than no sound fix, speakerphone microphone works 100%

CHANGELOG:

V3-test: Removed extra files, sound quality is around the same (or slightly worse) compared to V2. Speakerphone Mic should work

V2: Removed AIC3254_REG_DualMic_MCLK.csv and AIC3254_REG_DualMic.csv as suggested by BelacNongaw to fix mic
