Sprint DID cancel my account even though I begged them not to. I then signed up for service again (new 2 year contract) to test google voice on Sprint.

Needless to say I canceled the new contract sold the evo on ebay and just got an atrix. Too bad because I loved that phone.

There is no lag on ATT or T Mobile

I do not recommend Sprint w/ google voice under any circumstance.

From Wikipedia:

Features of Google Voice, many retained from GrandCentral, include:

A single Google forwarding number to all of the user's phones

Unlimited free calls and SMS within the US and Canada, up to three hours in individual length.

Calling international phone numbers with rates starting at US$0.02 per minute

Call screening. Announcement of callers based on their number or by an automated identification request for blocked numbers

Listening in on someone's recording of a voice message before taking a call (press 2 while answering, * to "pick up")

Blocking calls from specified numbers

Send, receive, and store SMS online

Answering incoming calls on any configured phone

Call routing. Selection of phones that should ring based on calling number

Voicemail transcripts. Reading of voicemail messages online

Listening to voicemail online or from a phone

Notification of voicemail messages via email or SMS

Personalized greetings based on calling number

Hey All,

I got my Xoom this morning as well. Love it so far! The Widgets blow the Ipad out of the water. However, I am trying to get VPN to work. Anybody know if there is a native VPN client or anything we can install from the Market? I know there are issues with Cisco VPN on Android 2.x but wondered if that might have been fixed in 3.0?
[Xoom General] bogatyr:
None that I'm aware of. Doubt this will work until we get a tun.ko module for it, then we can use VPNConnections.apk like other handsets.
[Xoom General] nindoja:
There is a built-in VPN client. Go to Settings -> Wireless & networks -> VPN Settings and add a VPN from there. Your standard PPTP, L2TP, and L2TP/IPSec options are available.
[Xoom General] StirCwazy:
As the topic states, I can't get the drivers installed for my XOOM to be properly recognized by my PC so I can copy to/from. When I plug it in my PC I get a popup bubble on my system (Win 7 64 bit) that says unrecognized device. In device manager it's listed as Unknown Device. I've tried with debugging enabled and disabled just to see, same issue.

I've used USBDView to view the currently installed USB devices and removed as much as I could, installed the latest drivers and no matter what same thing happens.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

**EDIT**

It would seem that I have 2 bad USB ports. Once I tried another port, TADA, my XOOM was happy.

Mods, if you want you can even delete this.
[GT540 Optimus General] Aytac01:
My sister has just bought a LG GT540. She has rooted it with z4Root. (I only had the phone for 5 minutes now)

So does this give a recovery or do I need to install a recovery? If I have to install it, how would I install it?

Because she wants to flash different ROMs and make the phone faster and overclock it.

And can anyone tell me how to get into Recovery, Fastboot and other stuff.

Sorry, I'm used to HTC phones and the Sense UI ;)

Thank you for your answers!

i recommend you to use this guide, but instead of 2.2.1 - cm 6, you flash mur4ik ROM CM7, is better (very fast- i am not using overclocking, there is no reason)

Ok ppl im on o2 and using this radio

32.54.00.32U_5.14.05.17

but when I connect to a call I get a 2 second silence after answering or someone picking up (only on my side), could this be the radio or the rom?

The rom im using is Redux.

Should I try another radio, and if so which is best at the moment.

Hopefully someone answers my question instead of letting it go "unanswered" - I would really appreciate it.

My question is simply if anyone knows where I can obtain Windows Mobile 2003 operating system for my Samsung SCH-i730 PDA. I lost it trying to upgrade to WM5 and got distracted and ended up making a mistake during the new installation.

Can someone tell me if it's even available, and if so, where might I be able to get this software to load it back onto the device. Your help is greatly appreciated. FYI: my device is the "Verizon" model. Thanks again.

[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zharthemad1:
I managed to get my phone running Freex10, went to install a custom theme and reinstalled xrecovery, but i FORGOT to install busybox again.

Now the phone will not launch xrecovery. When I get to the lock screen all looks good until i try and unlock the phone. Then it comes up with infinite notifications telling me that every process has stopped unexpectedly. The phone will also sit at the lock screen for a minute or so, then it looks like its trying to relaunch the OS. It will do that in an infinte loop. Also, it shows no network connectivity when its in the lock screen state.

The only thing I can do it pull the battery and start all over.

I would be very appreciative if someone could help me recover my phone as I dont know how to fix it without getting usbdebugging going.

I don't see an option anywhere to limit 3G usage - such as preventing the Xoom from using the connection when the screen is off, etc. Does anyone see a way to do this?

Also, trying to register for an account on verizonwireless.com (to check data usage) results in the system sending a text message with a temporary password...that's helpful! lol :rolleyes:
[Xoom General] foldog22:
There is an app for that! Verizon has an offical app that shows data usage.

Haha, there is indeed...however when I launch it (My Verizon for Tablets,) even when on 3G, it seems to think I'm connected via Wifi and wants my user ID/password for MyVerizonWireless!

Did you try restarting your xoom? I experienced the same thing today. I was on 3g, switched to wifi, and while on wifi, I the tried to check my data usage using the Verizon app. It wanted a username and password. Realizing that i was on wifi, i switched back to 3g and tried again. When I signed in with Verizon credentials, it showed me account information for my phone instead. I restated my xoom and launched the verizon app while in 3g and everything worked fine.

Oh...that 1gb data plan is JOKE! Halfway through it and haven't even spent 24 hours on the Xoom.

I was able to log in, as I had my Xoom added as a new line on the same account on which I already have a Droid. While I can see my Xoom data usage within the app, the widget will only show me my phone data usage. Has anyone found a way around this?

Yeah I've found a way. Call verizon and ask for a refund on your 1 month fee plus the activation fee since they already came out and

Said you can get a refund. They don't require you to buy the data to buy the xoom anymore.

Pulled this straight out of the motorola xoom system dump (that is now gone from xda it seems) and sized for our screens. Works great on my screen. Drop the bootanimation.zip into /system/media or /data/local and it should work on any 800x480 screen. Use the honeycomb-boot.zip to flash with CWM.

Updated: I've also added a themed Pandora designed to be a bit darker (will try and figure out the now playing screen to make it fully black) and fit in with a honeycomb theme if you have one. Be sure to uninstall the old one before attempting to install this one.

I rotated the images, looks better now.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kaik541:
I actually specifically chose not to do this even though the images are in "portrait" orientation because it more matches how it would look on the xoom (since you're more likely to hold that in portrait mode, I feel).

With yours it looks like it's falling from right to left, mine/xoom is top to bottom. Thanks for the alternative but all it does is make me want to turn my phone into portrait mode when booting :P

Hmm... After adding it in there and flashing it to the phone... I actually prefer the alternative with the image rotated.

Could you advise a rookie? Do I need a custom ROM for this, or can I change it on the STOCK ROM?

I Am rooted and through Linda Manager can see System/Media and bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg

advice?

Thanks
[Captivate Themes and Apps] RaptorOne3:
You'll want to use an application called ROM Manager. (tis the easiest way)

It can be downloaded from the Market. Search for it, download it...

Since you're device is rooted you will not have to do that part but ROM Manager requires root access so you're good to go there.

Next step is to open up the ROM Manager app.

Tap "FLASH CLOCKWORK MOD RECOVERY"...

Tap "Allow" when superuser prompts...

Next you will want to make sure you have placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip on your device via USB Mass Media mode. Copy/Paste it right into the device drive.

Release/Eject the device from Windows.

Turn off USB Storage access on your device.

Disconnect the USB cable.

Now open up ROM Manager again.

Tap on "Reboot into Recovery"...

Once the device reboots, if you find yourself at a screen that is in BLUE text (Recovery), you must use the Volume Down key to navigate to "Reinstall Packages", click the power button to select. You may have to do this once or twice. But once it works your device will reboot into a screen with GREEN text (ClockWorkMod).

Once you are in CWM, use the Volume keys to navigate to "Install .zip from SD card"... You will have to kind of navigate around and find where you placed the Honeycomb-Boot.zip file.

Navigate past the crazy amount of No's and click Yes - Install...

Navigate with the volume buttons to "Go Back"...

Navigate to "Reboot" the device...

That should do it.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Kaik541:
you will need a custom ROM (or at least kernel) that supports AOSP bootanimation.zip format. by default, the samsung kernels play the above bootsamsung.qmg and bootsamsungloop.qmg, but almost any available custom kernel will support the bootanimation.zip support.

(2) whats the most recent version if i decide to do so (where can i find it)?

**NOTE**: I've flashed different clockwork mod versions via Rom Manager, but when i hit boot into recovery off my current ROM, it always goes to the same version. (v2.5.1.0 Speedmod ULFK)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
the version you are booting into is built into the kernel you are running. you cant update it unless you use a different kernel. the voodoo kernels run v2.5.1.3 usually
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
not true just like the OP said you can flash different versions through rom manager for kernels that dont have it built in. (stock kernels)

To OP if its built into the kernel you cant change it, see above.

i forget where but there is a website from the creators and they have every version available for every phone in a long list.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
im sorry, but this is incorrect. you can flash a million times with rom manager, but if its built into the kernel "WHICH HIS IS" then it doesnt matter....you arent updating it unless the kernel updates it.

How is what you quoted incorrect? If you read the whole thing you will see that he said you can't change it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
its a reading comprehension thing. he didnt comprehend what was said in my post OR the OP

the OP stated he was on Speedmod ULFK.....that means its baked in....that means that he cant update the version...

I'm currently running:

Model Number: SGH-I897

Build number: FireFly 2.2

this may seem like a novice question, im still trying to understand everything about my new phone;

when flashing a new ROM, through clockwork, does that include a kernel in the rom package?

in other words, if Rom ABC is running kernel #abc and i flash Rom XYZ, will the kernel change? how do i change the kernel without changing the rom?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CuriousTech:
All ROMs as far as I know include a compatible kernel and modem. Inside the ROM zip you'll find 4 folders plus the META-INF. The updates folder has the ROM (zImage) and modem.bin, which are flashed to the write-only memory. The other 3 are copied in the same structure as the zip file after fomatting (sdcard is copied without formatting).

This is probably in Q&A, but anyway. To flash only a kernel or modem, get the CWM zip of it, put it in sdcard, reboot into recovery, select zip and go. Make sure kernel and modem are based on the same hardware (i897, i9000, etc.).

And last but not least read, read, and read more. This is just info I've read many times here.

Ok so 2.2 offically came out for captivate today.

I know There is Cog 3.03v which I am running.

Cog 4 came out like 2 days ago.

And I don't have any clue when a Stable rom is coming out for 2.3 Gingerbread.

I am probably going to flash stock (thats odin right?) tonight.. then go to Cog 4 tonight.

I am not really interested in gingerbread theme's so much as the actual changes.

Can anyone break down why cog 4 is an entirely different rom than 3.03v?

My understanding is its a modified version of the stock at&t froyo although I could be wrong.. So I am guessing 3.03v is a ported version of froyo from some similar phone.

Any idea what is going to give best over all performance?

I would like to think 2.3 gingerbread is coming out soon in the form of a rom.. but, I am also not holding my breath.
