[Captivate General] spankmaster:
Hey There!

So a few weeks ago my friend (HaiKaiDo here on the XDA forums) got a replacement Samsung captivate from att after having some bad luck with an Official "OTA" update. Upon running odin the first time on his phone to prepare it for flashing some of the roms here on XDA he noticed that after doing so, he lost his capability to use the three button combination to kick him into download mode. While there is another version of odin, this still made both of uneasy with thoughts of a "yeah...that would only happen to me -_-" moment. So he asked me if we could make a USB jig for just incase. This would be something that isnt just a bunch of resistors twisted together and taped to a hacked off micro usb cable ending, or just twisting resistors together and trying to POKE at the inside of the captivates micro usb port (Sounds primitive yes?). After a few minutes of brain storming we came up with a failry simple solution and list of materials needed

1.) Premade PCB Board

2.) A Now defunct wireless receiver for a Kensington wireless mouse. (this was for the housing

3.) 3 100k Ohm Resistors (Fire resistant 2% tolerance worked best for us)

4.) A Micro USB ending carefully revoed from its cable and plastic housing

5.) Spray liquid tape and some good old fashioned HotGlue

There were two main attempts made at making this USB jig. The first attempt ended in complete failure and frustration through what turned out to be no fault of our own. It just so turned out that we were using resistors that were using had a higher tolerance (this ends up in discrepancy in what the actual resistance is compared to the rated resistance) so a few things were happening here. We would get out a meter to test the resistance and everything would pan out fine, then directly after we would plug in the jig and no dice. This led to us repeatedly adding and removing 1k ohm resistors for hours trying to find the "sweet spot" so to speak. This never happened....at all. So here we are a few weeks later with those nice 2% tolerance resistors (that were picked up from Fry's electronic for .95 cents SUCKIT RADIO SHACK heh 6 dollars for a pack of resistors bah) and some spare time. This time around, things went much smoother and faster with trimming down the pcb board, soldering on the resistors to the board and connecting them from the board to the micro usb end. And finally cramming them neatly (with **** loads of hot glue :D ) into the case that we had fashioned to use for this project. Here are some pictures and Youtube video of the final product below!

Enjoy

Spankmaster & HaiKaiDo(Hand cameo in the video woot woot :D)

PS: Stop spending TEN DOLLARS ON EBAY for one of these! Its rather easy and pretty damn fun to do! And how cool will you look when you can show your friends what you made ;D

PSS: Sorry for the lack of any form of start and middle pictures or content, we always decide to make something and think that were not going to post it, and then when it ends up being cool all we have is the end result to tell about hah.

[Captivate General] puckerth:
Cool. And that's the first I've ever heard of Liquid Tape. :)
[Captivate General] spankmaster:
Liquid tape is the bomb :) I like the spray stuff better, but they sell it in a jar like rubber cement too.
[Captivate General] HaiKaiDo:
I know this a SUPER old bump. But this was something that a friend and i made a good few months back but i think it has relevance as it seems there is a wave of people asking about jigs again in random places strewn throughout the forums. So for the same of saving some phones and money. BUMP
[Captivate General] owmygulay:
When you factor in the cost of the resistors, that little board, the usb connector, and a can of liquid tape if you don't have it already, it would cost alot more to make one than the $8 I paid for my jig that I purchased. You did a great job with your jig and the video but if you don't already have the supplies it is way cheaper and easier to just buy one.
[Captivate General] HaiKaiDo:
I would have to completely disagree. I made this ALL out of stuff i had laying around the house. also The bread board is optional. That was just my own personal touch. I spent 0 dollars. you spent 8 ;D. I had my jig in 30 minutes, you had to wait days. ;D
[Captivate General] tjwelshv:
does the jig have to be 300k and just 300k it cant be a little off?
[Captivate General] peachpuff:
Its actually supposed to be 301k, but with the large tolerance found in resistors 300k will do.
[Captivate General] boborone:
^^^ Yep. Ohmed out, one of my jigs is 294.
[Captivate General] rickeh82:

nice jig, but i think mine is secksy :) cant post links till i spam the forum with 8 post's :O

Hi, I need to know how to return X10i to stock in order to return to SONY. I have broken MicroUSB but fortunanely brother has same phone , so i use his battery - and he charge my. How can I flash stock ROM, delete recovery whitout connecting to PC(I cannot :) ??? P.S: RMA system of SONY SUCK BIG TIME (had problem with X1i) , so i need proper information how to remove recovery. Also, is rooting legal for them ?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Crowds:
so use your brother usb cable and flash through SEUS or PPC and dont do anything more (root, xrecovery, bla, bla, bla)
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didoop:
How ? My microUSB connector is broken (inside phone ... not chargeable, i was sleeping and probably my dog or I destroyed it while I was asleep) ... Changing cable won't help me ... P.S: I'm definetely not THAT stupid...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DooMLoRD:
which rom are u using? if u have stock se rom then have u tried "Factory Reset"? i am not sure if it removes rooting/xrecovery but no harm in trying...
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjems:
I had to send my phone for repair (vibrator not working) last October. I had rooted it and installed a generic 2.1 and still the accepted to service it.

It you want a proper stock-state, you definetely need a USB connection to flashtool or SEUS. So no choice, just send the phone 'as is'.:confused:
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] andy8271:
the USB fault is a very common fault with the x10 so the company dealing with repairs might not even look into the software side of it. the repairs are dealt with by big companies who deal with lots of manufacturers and phones so they arent the sort to really care. they just fix it then send a bill to SE

the first phone i sent back was rooted and debranded and they just swapped it .

another option is to find someone who is good with electronics to fix it. it is really simple , the USB port just needs re-soldering (the solder will of cracked off) through the board
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] droidjems:
Resoldering might void the warranty isn't it?
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] didoop:
Fortunately i've got backup of stock and rooted , but i just need to delete recovery. BTW as i said be4 i sent x1i to repair with broken case and they sony ******* sent me phone back with message : phone has been modified :)

Ps: also phone module stopped working ... I cannot leave airplane mode ...
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Over Clocker:
Hi guys,

I am flashing from CM7 to Darky 9.2. Phone is in download mode, and I am flashing the PIT file with repartition enabled as the instructions.

odin has been on the Set PIT file / Do not turn off phone for about 5 minutes now. I know when I've done this in the past it's taken a few seconds!

What shall I do!!

Thanks,

Mal
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Over Clocker:
Ok fixed it, I figured it wasn't doing anything so unplugged it, re-downloaded the package and did it again.
[EVO 4G General] rjd728:
FYI to anyone using SetCPU. I have discovered an issue with my ringer volume caused by running SetCPU. The issue is intermittent but quite annoying. Regardless of the volume of my ringtone the phone will either start out with a normal ring volume and get extremely loud or just start out as if you had the volume turned all the way up. I changed ringtones, turned off quiet ring on pickup, changed Kernels and even wiped and re-flashed ROMs. This was driving me crazy. I tried all kinds of volume apps to remedy the issue also to no avail. This is not ROM specific as it happened to me on Fresh, Evio, Elite, MikFroyo and Azrael. I don’t know if this happens with all Kernels but it did happen on HTC stock #15 and Netarchy 4.3.1 havs-nosbc. I do know this…..as soon as I removed SetCPU the issue immediately went away. I was not running any profiles in SetCPU. The strange thing is….on an AOSP ROM (Cyanogen/MIUI) this does not occur with SetCPU running. Has anyone else run into this? Hope this was helpful if anyone else has experienced this issue. Hopefully someone has a fix/workaround to this issue.:confused:

After going crazy with this issue that seemed to pop out of nowhere I decided to backup my crucial data from my sdcard and format it. I then did a full wipe (2x using Amon Ra 2.3) and flashed MikFroyo 4.5. I installed some basic apps (Weather Channel, Walgreens, Zynga Poker, Go SMS, Blacklist, Dr. Web). So far I have not had any volume issues (without SetCPU). I will install and test with SetCPU and provide feedback. Although I may just test out my battery life as is for now. Some of these tweaked ROM's and newer Kernels just about eliminate the need for SetCPU or Overclock widget (IMO). In other postings I've read they just cause issues negating the purpose of a HAVS Kernel altogether. We shall see.

I finally found others with this issue. Apparently this is a feature?? Anyone else heard of this? I suppose I didn't take notice that my phone only does this when in the belt case (sensors covered). Certainly there must be a way to disable this.

Man, I have a friend that has been having trouble with his volume control and we couldn't figure it out. He uses setCPU, and I don't... I think I better send a link to this post.
[EVO 4G General] 12MaNy:
I've been running SetCPU on my Evo for 6 months with many different ROMs/kernels and I've never experienced this. Sounds to me like you have a volume, or music app/widget that's conflicting.
[EVO 4G General] rjd728:
I thought so too. However, after a fresh flash of a ROM and installing SetCPU this issue starts. Really strange.

See changes in my first post. It's not SetCPU.
[XPERIA X10 General] Samich2007:
Hi there,

Since a few weeks, I own a Sony Xperia X10i. But it constantly crashes after a few minutes. Even if I don't use the phone at that moment.

First the screen goes black, than the indication light goes to red, yellow and finaly white for a few seconds, and than the phone restarts. Does anyone have (or had) the same problem? And does anyone know how to reslove this problem?

Thank you! :)

Kind Regards,

how could you expect some feedback/help without any more info?

how should we know if that`s normal or not if you don`t provide rom, version, baseband, what have you install, etc, etc, etc?
[XPERIA X10 General] Das_OSi:
Didn't know that the indicator can turn white.

Did you try to flash the phone again with SEUS ?
[XPERIA X10 General] arkedk:
I've had those symptoms on various builds and basebands. It happens when the phone overheats.

I had a lot of those on one specific build. Think those occured mostly on the 2.0.2.A.0.24 firmware. Haven't had such issues for a long time any more though.
[Epic 4G General] mynewepic10:

[Epic 4G General] nonzenze:
This is not a glitch, it's a the phone complying with the AD email server's security requirements. If you have a problem with this, the appropriate place to ask is your IT dept, not XDA. They were the ones that set the requirement for a lock.
[Galaxy S II General] _JKay_:
Hi

If you look at this youtube video it looks like Samsung Galaxy S II also drains batter fast.

Or simply look at this picture and compare battery and time!

I almost fell down from my chair laughing :p
[Galaxy S II General] Beards:
Has anyone actually seen the back-cover off displaying a 1650mAh Battery.

I'm not saying the SGS2 won't have one but until I see visual proof I'm running with it being a 1500mAh, regardless to what the written spec states.
[Galaxy S II General] troed:
Batt consumption can´t be worse than on my HD 2. SGS2 has AMOLED screen which consumes less batt power by 25 %.

But since this is really an "ALMIGHTY" phone one will use it for everything during the day, so will batt-drain SUBJECTIVELY be big...........
[Galaxy S II General] betoNL:
What a waste of forum space......a device that is just hitting the market, you didnt even try it yourself, and already speculating about battery performance!!

BTW, which high-end Android phone which such processors, dont drain the battery ??
[Galaxy S II General] EleCtrOx666:
Lol "With such processors" these processors are supposed to drain less battery than the single-cores.
[Galaxy S II General] betoNL:
I am talking about 1000 MHz processors and up.

Do you really thing that a dual-core 1000MHz + processor are going to consume less battery juice than a 480Mhz processor used in some symbian devices?

Can you point out a Android device that is not "draining" the battery?

Which part of "wasting forum space " you didnt understand?
[Galaxy S II General] virussnake:
no but a dual core 1ghz processor will drain significantly less battery than a single 680mhz processor ;)
[Galaxy S II General] soraxd:
wow what a hater.. lol@this guy, wish the forum had a thumbs down button for people like this
[Galaxy S II General] MoonRaven:
Well you are comparing 2 different things. Android allows you to run apps in the background which uses battery, it has a touchscreen (most symbian phones don't have that) which is a huge drain.
[Galaxy S II General] shishir95:
It isn't even out yet.
[Galaxy S II General] FLAC Vest:
.... lol.

But really though, go find something else to do with your time.
[Galaxy S II General] kibasscies:
It is impossible to state definitively that GS2 drains battery or not. It depends on how you updated your firmware, on which synchronizations you activated and many other configurations.

My advise:

1) Always clean and optimize through a hard reset BEFORE and AFTER you install a new firmware (stock or cooked): you will lose a couple of hours to save your personal data before the hard reset and another couple of hours to restore apps and data after the hard reset, but it is worth while!!!!

2) After installation of a new firmware, calibrate the battery by fully discharging (till the phone switches off) and fully recharging it at least three times (keeping the phone switched off)

3) Disable or minimize as little as you can the synchro features

4) Consider to buy a standard Samsung 2000 Mh battery: you will gain the autonomy needed to spend a whole day (then, during the night you are comfortable to recharge battery)

Now the problem is I have forgotten the password of the user Id (and basically i have no idea how the user name got registered in my device). Anyways someone suggested me to restore the factory settings to remove the user id and create a new one. Is there any other way to it?? If no then please guide me how to restore the factory settings.

so, i have some questions about flashing my galaxy 3

1- Can i revert back to android 2.1 ? how ? (link is really, really appreciated)

2- Does installing a custom ROM save battery (i mean extend battery life ?) ?

3- I have rooted my cell using z4root, do i have to unroot it before flashing ?

4- I have never worked with Odin, is there a link for noob's guide to odin ?

please see, i have failed using the search future :(

1- yes you can, you just flash it like any other firmware. you can find firmwares from here: http://www.samfirmware.com/WEBPROTECT-i5800.htm

first of all, thank you for the awesome reply!

but i didnt understand what you mean by " not to flash bootloader"

1- i mean when your in odin (see picture http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/2612/senzatitoloh.jpg ) you can see that there is between 2 and 3 BOOT, PHONE, PDA, CSC, now you must leave the BOOT option empty got it? there is also another quide here ---> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=778880
