I had a similar problem some time ago (Phone ! PC screen)... I disconnected the battery for half a day came home from uni and put the battery into the phone, while holding ALL (hard) buttons at the same time... then, download mode actually went through :D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ricardo_1991:
That doesn't work.. the same screen appears all the time
[Galaxy S I9000 General] azleep:
Happened to me once too, just keep holding onto the buttons, it will eventually go to download mode.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ricardo_1991:
Ok guys, thanks for the support. I will keep trying, and if it fails, i will get my warranty and go to samsung.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] rudeboy150:
Get ur phone into a black screen no icon so basically completely off then hold the download mode 3 button combo u phone should then turn on in download mode

To sumerise

Use the download combo to turn on ur phone basically its how I got my butt saved when I first got this icon thing

I only had the phone a week so I was very happy to save it
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ricardo_1991:
I did that so many times already, but the result is always the same for me...

I pressed the buttons for 5 minutes, but nothing, the "phone ! computer" icon disappears for 1 second, and appears again, over and over again
[Galaxy S I9000 General] [Ramad]:
@Ricardo_1991

If you remove the battery for some time(10 min.) and you still can't access download-mode then Sbl on your device has been corrupted while kies did flash the ROM, take it to a samsung service center and get it fixed.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Steph_1973:
You probably have done this but ensure your usb cable is REMOVED until you get the download mode working.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] DrFredPhD:
Personally I'd use the jig. As soon as you have that jig built you can have your phopne working again (and updated) in less than 30mins. Who knows how long it will take the service centre to fix it.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Ricardo_1991:
I agree, but im from Portugal, and i dont have any nearby store where i can buy all the materials. What i can do is order the micro sim thing from amazon.co.uk, and the 301K resistor from somewhere else..

ps: the sellers of resistors in amazon wont send them to portugal, only the micro sim plug

When people recommend clearing the cache, is it the partition cache they are talking about? I always clear the delvick, but wasn't sure about the other.

If you were to completely wipe the phone and card, is there any best partition setup that works better than others?

Still learning here guys. Anyway, I am using CM6 with ADW and I cannot find anywhere on the phone just an app for the Google Navigation. I have searched the market for it, and I have searched my phone for it. Stock my phone came with the little blue arrow shortcut that took me to navigation, right now the only way I can access navigation is by going into maps and then from there, I tried to create a custom shortcut for the shortcut from "Car Home" but still cannot find it. Any suggestions?

[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bur2000:
I wanted to edit my build.prop file but have a problem saving it.

I press Ctrl+O (Ctrl being the Vol-Down button) to open the write file dialog. Then I specify a filename but what to do next? Pressing the enter button doesn't do anything. I can change the file name but still enter does nothing.

Is there a specific command needed to write to the file? It's probably not file access settings, because the same happens when I choose a file from the sdcard.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Don001:
First let me just say that I am aware of Battery Tool and it is very useful, but after looking and searching many threads, having gone to the windows phone 7 development and hacking thread and other phones which have WP7, I cannot find any applocation tile which just displays the battery percentage, is they any? If not, how would one go about designing one?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Beany69:
Don't think you can at the moment. WP7s api was shipped with this feature missing. Will have to wait for updates, probably ManGo late this year.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] Don001:
Thanks for that, would be a useful tool to have. Trying to see how the battery is behaving, getting weird patterns, some days, with very heavy usage, I get a good 12 hours usage with at least 40% left. Now, today, been using the phone for a few hours, not heavy usage and 40% has gone, restarted the phone as the battery percentage is not always accurate and got the same reading.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
as he said, there isnt any API available to get this information

as for your battery, WP7 was not ment for your device, in short it doesnt have a clue what its doing, you battey may appear full but probably isnt, charging externally is just about the only way to be sure, do not assume windows knows what its doing because it doesnt, any battery tool for our device would have the same problem, i think the answer is quite simple, if you want a zero hassle device that lasts a good amount of time, then buy a real one, cuz the HD2, dispite its brillience has its issues that are unlikely to be fixed.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mickfarr:
It there isn't how does the Battery Tool app get the battery information?
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] ben42us:
Need battery app, if it can work with hd2 android it should work with hd2 wp7, wp7 is more a fit than android for the hd2.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
well its a hunch, but given that HTC make the thing im guessing they know how to access the information directly from the battery controller, its also worth pointing out that the HTC tools need side loaded, you can not access them in a usual manor.

this also explains why the battery tool along with WP7 its self doesnt know what the hell its doing with regards to the battery because both teh tool and WP7 believe its not our hardware
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mickfarr:
It's not much of a hunch and doesn't explain anything, if they can do it others can too. I can see my WP7 battery percentage displayed on my PC and I can see it displayed on my WP7 and the software I'm using is not written by HTC or by Microsoft. So it can be done.

That has nothing to do with anything! I have apps that can only be loaded by side loading. It just means its not available in the market place :p
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mickfarr:
Just going through the touchexperince beta forums and one user asked if Julien could display the battery % on a live tile and his response is:

"Unfortunately there is no multitasking so I can't provide real time info like battery or signal to the tile when TouchXperience is not running."
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
It is exactly a hunch, its a thought, its a posibility, its my belief. your asking for an app that is available to use as a tile, as it stand only MS has access to auto updating tiles, the API that allows access to the battery information is not available to anyone, however if you build the thing then its likely you would have the knowledge to access the information outside of the "microsoft domain" of control. you have an App that shows battery info on your WP7 that isnt made by HTC or MS then please let me know what it is, likewise, what is the program that you have on your PC that isnt made by HTC or Microsoft that allows access to your battery information? just curious.

The side loading is very relavent, it limits what access you have to the system, as it stands because MS doesnt give access to battery information you would need to bypass microsoft, hence you would need to side load the application which is exactly what the HTC battery tool has to do.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] mickfarr:
The 2 programs are TouchExperience and Windows Phone Device Manager. They're not released just yet but keep a look out at www.touchxperience.com for more information.
[HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting an] dazza9075:
intresting, i stand corrected, i just got it yesterday myself, but the application does need to be side loaded.

it must be getting to info in the same manor as HTC tool, ie directly as there is no API to access it via MS which makes sence since it needs side loaded.

oh im guessing the desktop is pulling the info from the client app it installs.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tt0204:
I have rooted my phone for a while and suddenly the question poped up in my mind.

Googled for a while and found out that rooting is legal(but voids warranty), distributing the ROMs based the on the AOSP is legal, and even for some ROMs made by manufacturers (in my case, Samsung) are legal.

But it seems to be illegal to have google apps (e.g. market, maps) or apps by manufacturers (e.g. TouchWiz, Sense UI).

Does anyone clear about that?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] crstfr:
how the heck am i gonna play angry birds!!.. got to have the market~
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] tt0204:
Yeah of course.

I am someone who will sit in front of my computer and use my phone.

But be serious, is it legal?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Meltus:
Not sure tbh.

Cyanogen was requested to remove all Google Apps from his ROMs (although they don't seem to mind you installing them afterwards) so i'm not sure whether or not it's breaking any laws or whether they just really don't want you to do it :p
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] aventinus:
Not sure about this but I think it's illegal for a ROM to ship with the gapps preinstalled. If you install them separately it won't be a problem. They are free apps after all. That's way Cyanogen and others have removed gapps from their ROMs but the tell you how to install them.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] rakludnet:
why not. no way to survive without it :)
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Dan2552:
I think in terms of market and other Google apps, you own the right to a licence assuming they came with your phone's stock rom in the first place. Sense UI and alike probably not strictly speaking legal, but companies don't seem to be caring, in Meltus' Meizu thread I believe somebody from the team posted in the thread - their attitude made it seem that they saw it as advertising for their platform.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
I'm just surprised when running cm7 on my nexus one. It felt snappy. But when I put in quadrant, it actually came out in 3rd place when running 998 Max and 245 min. So I overclocked both to 1113 mhz, and the score wasnt impresive either: 1424...which is only a tad bit better than n1 on 2.2. Now does this have to do with the app itself or the device?
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] willverduzco:
Thread moved to Q&A, since this is a question.

FWIW, on my Nexus S, my score (and overall 3d performance) went down considerably between 2.3.2 and 2.3.3 ROMs (e.g. CyanogenMod 7 RC1 and RC2). I used to get ~4000 in Quadrant at 1.4 GHz, whereas now I only get around 3300. The part most telling for me was that in the first 3D test, I used to be locked at 65 fps for the majority of the test. Now I get around 2/3 that. Similarly Smartbench 2010 and 2011 show major declines as well. Not quite as pronounced, but noticeable nonetheless. My previous recorded score was 1635/3669 at 1.4 GHz, and now I get 1551/3251.

On the Nexus S, I know that this decrease in performance is due to the different framebuffer driver in 2.3.3, which now supposedly calibrates the screen to not be as over-saturated and raises the gamma to 2.2 from 1.8. I don't know if this is applicable to the Nexus One.
[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1404:
There is definitely a decrease because I used to have up to 1800 in quadrant when running at 1.113 ghz. But the weird thing is the phone still felt really snappy when I set it to 998 mhz. In contrast, I experienced random lags on cm6 at 1032 mhz. Weird!

Here is a collection of alarms, notifications, and ringtones collected from stock and various roms. This is a CWM flashable zip. If you enjoy this, remember to thank the devs here. I just made a collection from their work. If anyone has other audio from other devices they want added just let me know and I'll recompile.

List:

Captivate Stock

Atrix Stock

Armani Stock

Andromeda

Cognition

Continuum

Dragon

Phoenix

Serendipity

Twingerbread

Talking Notifications

and others I may have forgotten.

Now converted to Edify! These are flashable from the newer CWM.

Grab them from my signature
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mipakr:
I don't have the audio, but it would be beyond awesome to have the audio from the original Nokia 5100 :]

Anyone know of a site that has audio from old phones?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
I found an online MIDI converter, converted them to wav, and then over to ogg. I've attached a CWM flashable zip to this post with the 5100 ringers. I can't stress enough about doing a backup before you apply this as I haven't tested it yet.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] KonaZXIII:
For those that don't want to CWM flash you can extract the files and place them manually.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
Yep, that is also possible for those who don't want to let it automatically place the files for them or who want to pick and choose the tones they want.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
I updated the original post with my corrected Audio file (removed duplicates) and included a link to download the stock Captivate tones as well.

Enjoy!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mattsternc:
Great package! I flashed without any issues, but I am seeing duplicates of some of the files. If I look in the directory where they are with Astro, I am only seeing single copies of some of the files.

Any ideas? How can I clean this up? :confused:

Thanks for posting these BTW!!

--Matt
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
Try another reboot. If that doesn't work then go into settings --> applications --> manage applications --> all --> media container. Force a stop and clear data. Reboot. That should force another fresh media scan with no cached data.

What duplicates were you seeing? That way I can along double check my source files.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
A couple of questions... if we don't want all of them, can we just delete the unwanted ones out of the zip before flashing?

Also, if we should want to just direct load them onto the phone (assume that is possible?), where should they be put?

Related to direct loading, there seems to be beaucoup file manager apps; anybody tried a bunch and find a clear winner?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
1. If you delete the ones you don't want then it won't be flashable through CWM

2. You can direct load them to /system/media/audio/ and then notifications or ringtones or alarms

3. I use root explorer
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Pmac25:
You can also make a dir on your SD card internal or ext like this.

/media/audio/notifications or ringtones or alarms

and they will be seen and you can set them as ringtone/notification/alarms just like you can with the build in system ones
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mattsternc:
I tried what you suggested and I'm still seeing the dupes. As a data point, I was using whatever came stock with Cog 4.0 (clean flash from stock) and Cog 4.2.2 (upgrade over top of 4.0). Not sure if there were dupes before, but confident there were not.

Here is a list of the dupes:

AT&T Tone

ATT Tone (this one is lower volume .... going to try and delete via Astro)

Bird Loop

Bollywood

Calypso Steel

Classic Bell

Digital Phone

The floor

Gutta tone

Luminescence

Noisy one (Noisey one .... spelling difference, but same tone)

Popple Tone

Pure Tone

Samsung Tune

Single Tone

Winter

As I said before, I only see one file in the list when I look in the directory with Astro.

Let me know if there is anything else you need!!

Thanks for looking at this as well! :)

--Matt

P.S. -- I also just noticed that there are dupes for the notification tones now as well. I'll reply back here with a list in a little bit.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
How large is the zip file you downloaded? I think you might have one of the older ones.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mattsternc:
The file that I downloaded is 27.49mb (28,823,899 bytes). Is that an older one?

--Matt
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
Nope. That's the most current one. I'll do a little more research and see if I can find out why you're getting duplicates.

Did you run the CWM version or did you extract them to a folder on your sd card?

Also try deleting the data/cache from the media storage and then another reboot.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] mattsternc:
I ran the CWM version. I tried the deleting data/cache again and had the same result (no change).

--Matt
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
Make sure you're doing both media storage and media container then followed by a reboot
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
You also may want to check for an extra media/audio folder structure
[Captivate Themes and Apps] movrshakr:
If you do this, will the media player see them as "music" and include them in the "playable things" inside the media player app?
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Red_81:
I notice my Ringtones created by Ringdroid do show up and they are in a folder like that.

You can exclude media by directory by adding a file to that directory called .nomedia

I can think of one use. It's because the global generic stock ROMs do not have any of the local regional customizations, and since everyone on xda is using global generic you may be missing out on some cool apps that are specific to your region. For example, the official regional Brazil X10a firmware has google Voice Search, a 2.2 app elsewhere, that is not on the global generic firmware. Also missing is Okrut(photo social network I think) and Cell Information (allows emergency broadcast text messages during a disaster I was told).
