My requirements to sound quality is pretty undemanding - I wouldn't mind something notch better than my stock settings on Tilt/WM6.1 + Jabra BT8010 or Sonorix C3 providing, but ability to take a call with 1 button click and autoresume worth more

any solution allowing to navigate without internet connection?

as expected.. but in one case Kindle wouldn't be preferable - where no external light (e.g. bedroom)

Well I got feeling " buy it without contract" wouldn't do it unless it's non-US model .. just hope GalaxyS from other operator would pool same trick
[Captivate General] REDMASTA:
Interesting to hear, I was looking at maybe getting the Atrix but my Captivate runs so damn good on Cog 4.1 I really don't see it as big enough of an upgrade to be worth it. IMHO the Captivate on a custom ROM should have no problem keeping pace at least untill next year when they release something worth upgrading too.
[Captivate General] dpmurphy81:
GPS On the Captivate is really a hardware issue " sure you can mod the settings for the AGPS for supt.google and that will help at least on the stock captivate you can not so much on the CM7" unless there is a different dialer code to access the setting I don't know about. CM7 is basically of source from the nexus S so it is a bit different. 2.3.3 is the closest you will ever get to stock google experience. CM7 adds a bit of custom flavor but for all intent purpose you have a Nexus S " i like it "

But anyway Samsung has really just borked the GPS on this thing and no software fix is ever going to fix it. " and I have run all the 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms with all the gps fixes it helps but it is far from the likes of HTC and other GPS hardware. in short GPS will never be accurate on the captivate until Samsung uses better hardware. maybe on the next version of the captivate I hope.

I like the new features of 2.3.3 like copy and paste. multi-touch keyboard for faster texting on stock Android keyboard.

Faster out of the box Rom without the need for a lag fix

In short the guys working on the CM7 are doing a great job I will never run another ROM after CM7 no need to. "yea it is just that good" and mind you this is not close to being complete yet but like I said the guys at CM7 are working there ass off.

Guess what I like the most about it is that it isn't just another themed over 2.2 or 2.2.1 ROM " No disrespect intended to the DEVS working on the other customs 2.2 ROMS".

And without going out and Buying a Nexus S Phone I Get a true Gingerbread OS and the next best thing to a Nexus S.

WHAT?!! lol the only time my captivate needs a reboot is when the battery dies...

[Captivate General] bames:
actually i think with the GPS it depends on individual units batch's.

i think there are 3 captivates

1. GPS hardware issue - have seen enough reports of people who cannot improve their gps with any method so i believe there are some devices that have a hardware issue.

2. Software issue - Many owners have captivates that seem to have really good GPS once they get the right rom and/or gps fix file. This seems to be the majority of captivate owners in the forum. This was the case with my first captivate. My lock times/strength was pretty good but i couldn't use tracking/turn by turn nav because it was so inaccurate but with a handful of roms my tracking became functional and as good as mapquest + iphone 4 which is pretty good.

3. No issue - recently swapped captivates due to shutdown issue. My biggest fear was i would get one of the devices from category 1 and it would never work/i would be taking huge downgrade in a function of my device. It came with jh7 pre-loaded. Initial gps lock/spee/strength/accuracy test was very encouraging and comparable to my best results from the prior captivate. What surprised me however was that tracking worked on stock JH7 something i had never seen with the 1st phone.
[Captivate General] spomytkin:
Interesting ... originally I was planing to get refurb. captivate - thinking to try 1-N devices (depending on the luck) until I'll get good one, assuming refurb. warranty still be sufficient to test device and exchange if it's not perfectly functioning.

Am I got it correctly - shutdown issue could manifest itself after significant time (>2-3 weeks)?:eek:
[Captivate General] skippyg:

Oh, so that's why Apple just forked over 7.8 BILLION DOLLARS to Samsung just recently right?

Sorry bud, but the Streak is nothing special, especially not compared to the Captivate.

Will be this. Hopefully that it's true, that it's for AT&T.
[Captivate General] d3v14n7:
No reboots here in 90.5 hours, and the only reason I had to shut it off was because the battery died after ~2 days of not being charged... Battery life is not an issue, nor do I have to reboot at least once a day.

Not with RFS no, but after the lagfix and getting rid of the bloat (which is really simple to do), it's just as snappy as almost any phone out there.

The Captivate is far from a piece of ****, the same goes for the rest of the Galaxy S line... With a few easy fixes, its one of the best phones out there, had you taken the time to do them, you'd know this... Ignorance isn't an excuse.

I'm beginning to think that your issues were user issues rather than phone issues... I haven't had any stability issues with my Captivate for as long as I had it, battery life has been great as well, averaging around 36-48 hours for the most part. Sounds to me like you just didn't know what you were doing in the first place.

I have already, I finally got my Atrix (to replace my Captivate), and I have a Desire Z (work phone) as well, while the Atrix is faster (as it should be), the screen on the Captivate is far superior... The Desire Z (overclocked to 1Ghz) on the other hand, is about the same speed, beats the Captivate (stock clocks) in some areas and loses to the Captivate in others. Apps open about the same speed on both the Captivate and the Desire Z, websites load a tad faster on the Desire Z (using Dolphin HD), games run faster and smoother on the Captivate, The Desire Z's GPS locks a tad faster than the Captivate, but the Captivate only takes about 3-4 seconds to lock (inside my car) so it's really not that bad...

Both the Captivate and Desire Z were running rooted stock roms (Rogers official Froyo for Captivate, and Froyo for Desire Z) with Launcher Pro, with all bloatware and useless apps frozen and all my usual apps installed (roughly 65-ish apps), the Captivate also had the lagfix installed... I didn't bother with synthetic benchmarks as they mean absolutely nothing considering they can be manipulated with simple Kernel tweaks that doesn't affect the phone's real world performance.

The Atrix is significantly snappier (after removing all the bloat and getting rid of the Blur launcher), both apps and games load faster, websites as well and battery life so far is a bit better... Sadly, the display on the Atrix isn't as good as the Captivate, but its far from the worst display out there.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
As I see it, the captivate is by far better than the Atrix because of the Super AMOLED screen and the bootloader. The speed difference, in so much as it exists, is small because nothing is optomized for dual core. If you are going to be staring at the screen all the time, best go with the most beautiful one.

The thing that would really do it for me is the encrypted Atrix bootloader. The encryption will probably never be broken (devs haven't had much luck in the past) and to make matters worse motorola added efuse, which hard bricks the phone if you try to flash a new rom or kernel. Devs will find a way to put some kind of rom on it, but it will never have the custom rom capabilities of the captivate (and probably never a cyangoenmod version).

4g and dual core are new technologies, so it would be better in any case to wait a year or so because by then they should be more polished.

Galaxy S II anyone?
[Captivate General] RKight:
dpmurphy81, I counted 23 quotation marks (") in two posts, and you didn't quote anyone in either of those. You should probably see about getting a new keyboard, as I can only imagine your keyboard is just randomly inserting quotation marks into everything you type.

[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
i'm trying to use gfree to unlock my mytouch 4g, but its always giving me a permission denied

I think my device is fully rooted, because I don't have to temproot it every time I restart, and my S=off

Anyways, my gfree while is located on my sdcard

so basically I go to

cd /sdcard

chmod 777 gfree

./gfree -f

Then it gives me a permission denied error.

Does anyone know how to fix this? I tried putting the file in /data/local/ but it doesn't allow me
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
If your s=off then you are permanently rooted. And you need to make sure you are using a root explorer like Super Manager.

Sent via Cyanogen powered Nook Color
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
Well, what am I going to do with super manager?

I have filemanager, but I still gonna execute ./gfree -f in my terminal.

It gives me a "permission denied" error
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] emckai:
Okay now, i'm able to access everything, but I cannot execute the ./gfree -f

It doesn't give me an error or anything.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leo221:
what happens if you type "su" enter in terminal? if you get denied error, go to super user make sure terminal isn't set to get denied. that is tab it, forget, go back to terminal, type su, select allow in the popup window. you might have to reboot after forget in super user.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Donnie_K:
start the process over, but use gfree 2 instead of the gfree 4 they suggest. I had this exact same issue and that's what was suggested to me and it worked.
[myTouch 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] neidlinger:
If you are using a non "SU" access File Manager it might not being placing the file correctly. Thus giving you an error. Since the system might still be in a r/o fashion it cannot execute the commands properly.

as donnie said make sure you are using ./gfree .04.

opening the app works, but as soon as i add the widget to a screen it FCs

this happening to anyone else?
[Xoom General] El Daddy:
Yes. I use the pulse widget for my facebook updates. Its better anyway in my opinion.
[Xoom General] mrsexkey:
I havent used the facebook app since i got the xoom. I just load it up in the browser and it has full functionality just like my pc. so I dont even see the need to use the app or the widget. I am sure it is not optimized for tablets as well. FB said they arent going to design for tablets because they dont consider them portable, mobile devices. so you are prob stuck with the non functioning widget for now.
[Xoom General] dudeimgeorge:
Yup. Known issues. Be sure to report it
[Xoom General] Xatt:
Yes -- the Facebook app works, though it's still formatted for a phone, but the widget does not. I think Facebook is still working at updating their app for Honeycomb, so I expect they will either make the widget work or get rid of it. In the meantime, it just crashes like you said.
[Xoom General] Droid-Xer:
Its a known issue because its not optimized for honeycomb. Only use optimized apps if you want to use Widgets.
[Xoom General] Phylar:
Sorry for zombifying the thread, but after Facebook never getting off their butts to fix it, some dev made a facebook widget for honeycomb - seems pretty nice, I grabbed it and it uses the stacked card widget style to display posts, with themes and such, click to jump to the post and stuff. Simple and nice.
[Nook Color General] kgonepostl:
So I followed the guide found here

androidtablets.net/forum/nook/3960-nc-news-nook-color-software-update-1-0-1-a-2.html#post24111

I followed the instructions but the nook bootup menu would just loop and loop and loop so I shut it off:eek::eek:

I left on the nook color bootup animation loop for like 5 minutes before turning it off. I assume it installed everything fine but I'm freakin out.

Can I just unplug my microsd card and boot it up all fine?
[Nook Color General] Taeseong:
You could update to the stock 1.1 firmware which will overwrite your root, register etc the device and use autonooter 3.0 found here to re-root it.

Good luck
[Nook Color General] kgonepostl:
I want to revert it but the usb charger isn't doing crap. It's just sitting there now not charging over 15%. The nook is still rotating the animation bootup logo and won't charge. I have no way of reverting it now!!
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
Sure you do. Restore to stock.

Read through the thread WELL. Follow the steps in the first post EXACTLY
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
Agree'd you just need to get yourself a CWR sd card, and boot it up with the right files to install. Read everything on thread and the other thread it refers too. you will be fine, Nooks are 99% unbrickable.
[Nook Color General] kar_:
I had almost the same issue as you. Bootlooping. I was freaking out to. But follow this and you will be fine.

Bootlooping is great, because it still boots. It's worse when the screen does nothing.
[Nook Color General] kgonepostl:
Alright man, got a new problem. Black screen. Now I understand this is a bootstrap problem but all those files that are listed in your link to unbrick are all linux files. I'm not at all familiar with linux. VERY familiar with windows. Please get back to me!!
[Nook Color General] therealguppy:
what you do you mean they are linux file? Becuase they are Tar? and Gz. those are just standards for Compression, just git Winrar. or 7zip and you can uncompress them.
[Nook Color General] muzzy996:
^^^ What he said.

I can tell you with 100% certainty that if youre bootlooping then going through a full restore described in that thread will work. I myself went through this three days ago and I use windows on my PC not Linux.

Not trying to be an a__ here, its just that there is no need for us to dilute these forums with the same information over and over.

You mentioned earlier the charge level being 15% and not charging, how did you know the charge level?

Is it possible now that your battery is fully depleted? Is it safe to assume youre using the stock nook color charger and cable (silly question perhaps but it does make a difference, the nook needs more power than a PC's USB port can provide if the nook is on...)?

being a noob, I don't want to mess up how my phone is working right now. I used adrynalyne method to flash my phone back after 2.7, to stock. Flashed new CWM, flashed 2.6 then 2.8 voodoo, used eb01 kernal, and enabled lagfix. I also have EB01 midnight/steel blue theme rocking. I would like to get back to dl09, becuase of the GPS performance. Do I need to do anything special before I do that, or just find and flash it via CWM. Voodoo is the part that makes me hesitant, and that fact that I use my phone as my modem, so I mess it up, I can't access this forum to fix it.

Thanks in advance.

i have a question

(sorry for my english... Thanks)

we have a list of native apps and content (sound. etc).

these apps are not used by many people

idea:

* make a script for remove (/move to sdcard/backup) and restore

functions of script:

- manual selection of content to delete

- press on key to run this task

- press on key to restore content

write answers with variants of the script please
[XPERIA X8 General] GreatApo:
There is an app in the market, "Unistaller for Root", which can remove or remove and back up your stock apps (and the normall ones). It is very usefull since it removes and back up your apps to your SDcard in a folder with one click/touch :D.

P.S.: As the name of the app say, it is only for rooted phones...
[XPERIA X8 General] alexdrakea:
Well, yes. This is almost what is needed.

...I am personally very well do this manually, since Linux file system - for me as a native home. But many users are forced to use a utility such as that on which it is written above and Root-explorer to remove other content.

It is often forgotten backups. Outcome - flashing through SEUS or other flashers...

Just wanted to make it to the Russian-speaking users who wish to perform these operations with the explanation of each item ...

Plus the removal of media

such as: ringtones. alarms. notifications. wallpapers, etc.

In terms of script it is easier because you can always translate to the language you want the signature to act

echo "bla-bla-bla "

I only need a sample file with commands to move, at least, 3 files, with a choice and a description of choice ...

Then I can myself to finish a full list of files and descriptions ...

In principle, some who may modify and Java application, but I'm not good at programming

have you try "Root Uninstaller" in the market?
