[Vibrant General] Romanbb:
not sure, it worked fine for me. what kind of output are you getting?
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
This is what I'm trying to do...

does it matter if I have root on this Vibrant?...
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I'd just root it, use android commander to view the contents of the SD card, remove what you want removed, then either unroot it or put it onto download mode and flash the stock firmware via Odin.

Seems pretty simple to me.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
Hahah!... I wish that it was that simple for me!... As stated in the op post, I can't see anything on screen, I can't plug it in to my computer and use ddms because the glass can't pick up touch points, and it's running 2.2... :|...
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
I missed the part about not being able to hook it up to the computer. Is the Micro USB port crushed or something?

EDIT: Wait int the OP you said you had it connected to adb. Sooo?
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
If you can use adb my previous idea would work.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
"I can't plug it in to my computer and use ddms because the glass can't pick up touch points"

When I said that, I meant that I can use ddms, but there's no point to it because the phone can't pick up touch points...

Thanks for your help though! Somebody on twitter helped me out immediately when I tweeted it(it sure helps from time to time having more than 600 followers)...
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
You don't have to be able to use the touch screen to do any of the things I suggested. DDMS has nothing to do with what I said.

Oh well. Glad you got it sorted out though.
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
Updated the Op post on how I did it... thank you @birgertime for leading me the right way! and thank you @Macil1868 on twitter for telling me the correct command! :D

This thread can now be deleted and/or locked... thank you all for your help! :)
[Vibrant General] xMemphisx:
You're welcome. Glad it worked.

By the way the -r is the recursive part of the remove command, so it'll take out directories (folders) as well as files. Which is why it wasn't working for you originally. ;)
[Vibrant General] Ted417:
Interesting :)... I don't know much about ADB and such... I just know the most basic of the basic commands :|... thanks for helping me out :)
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
Now I am kind of interested in what an "internal" "sd card" is.

Anyone?
[Vibrant General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
I thought I was the only one.. Thank you sir...
[Vibrant General] kboater:
we have 16gb internal storage plus what ever you external sd (the micro sd in the back of your phone near battery, sim...) the 16gb internal is referred to the internal sd, vs your mico sd that you are able to remove. (keep in mind I actually dont know what kind of physical storage the internal sd is, just what it is in regards to the external sd)

not sure if that helped explain it at all...
[Vibrant General] Alkaloid:
It's exactly what it sounds like, man. They don't put spinning disk drives in these devices. :p
[Vibrant General] azyouthinkeyeiz:
Makes more sense.. Its internal flash memory.. Not like a SD card.. Think more like solid state hard drive.. (only used that example because of the guy with the disk joke.. lol)
[Vibrant General] Cartigan:
That would be a solid state drive (sort of) not an SD card
[General Questions and Answers] asaaprabhat:
Sir want to connect "+" and "-" terminals from other battery and leaving other terminals,and on my phone is it cause any damage,will charge externally because of heat problem,want to connect the battery is lithiyum polymer,Is it cause any damage please tell me.
[General Questions and Answers] tntexplosivesltd:
This sort of thing can damage your battery, especially if you want to charge it. The battery is made up of cells, and the charging process charges each cell up to the same level individually. Not sure what affect connecting the cells of a different battery would have, but it's probably not a good idea. The batteries probably have different electrical characteristics.

as the question asks :), also i do not want to start a rant about buying the pro version, its just that i cant find it in the market and wondering if i have ballzed up my phone :)

[Fascinate General] Kingali1997:
I think somebody should post all the roms and new updates on one thread that way it would make it easier for noobs to get the things they need and that would prevent all these how to root topics
[Fascinate General] peckjh:
Then take some initiative and put it together.
[Fascinate General] ashasaur:
This post is so much WIN. I agree 100%.

I will try my best I just would lije help please
[Fascinate General] Roblovesbox:
If you start the thread people will comment on what you put in giving you all of the help you need. They just wont do it for you.
[Fascinate General] jenisiz:
Not to be a ****...but in my humble opinion, I like things the way they are. Gives noobs initiative to research first and to clarify issues. Throwing a ****load of roms (that are required to change their title already when updated) in one thread is gonna lead to alot of headaches unless you break down specifically the requirements of each one. I can see it now..."oh wow, I just bought this and look at all these roms. Ima load superclean 2.9 since it's the newest on my Ea28 fascinate!". **** noobs still come in here to ask how to fix there phones after flashing another phones rom...everyday. There should be a quiz that pops up asking you a series of questions about what you're about to do. Like a fail noob proof capcha. If you fail...a note pops up and says "read some more dumbass!"

[Fascinate General] djlim4:
not that i don't entirely agree with some of the sentiments of the more senior members, but i was a complete noob w/ my 1st smartphone not too long ago so I can see how someone coming into this now after all of the DL09/EB01/EB16 releases can be overwhelmed...

so here's a link to a thread on android central with exactly what you are looking for

http://forum.androidcentral.com/ver...ks-roms-themes-kernels-updated-3-17-11-a.html

... a LOT friendlier with a handful of senior members that seem to be on always to walk noobs through

you won't get as many comments that, although may be true and one should take note of, doesn't contribute at all to what you asked.

Again, everyone is entitled to their opinions on a forum, so I'm not making any attacks toward anyone, but I feel like you know when your comment doesn't help the OP and only helps you feel better about walking into a post that annoys you... and maybe consider that there are people of all different ages and lives that may not allow for hours upon hours of catch up reading
[Fascinate General] ace5198:
this is great!!!!
[Fascinate General] Kingali1997:
hahaha lmfao read some more dumbass. That what be constructive yet funny as hell
[Fascinate General] MrManiacNF:
While I agree that if such a form existed... at the end of the day it most really be useless.

People will still have the same questions about this and that rom, and term, and version of phone.. etc... and if you combine ALL those answers into one form, well I would maybe make it too the third or fourth page before I give up and move on. Like a lot of forums now, some are a thousand pages.

I'm sure many people will agree the next scenario, which I find myself in a fair bit. You just soft soft bricked your phone, or something new is released... 20 min later you're sitting down with 5 or 6 browser windows open, each one has 20 tabs, and you have 30 new bookmarks made just case there something you might need later from one those pages.

lol... i tell you guys, its awful messy sometimes.. :) Especially when a friend gives me a phone he bricked and I've never used the phone before.

Wondering if anyone knows if it's possible to unlock OEM for the Galaxy S20 Ultra 5G model G988U1 (z3q) and flash a custom ROM to it. I'm aware that certain models don't allow this and I'm hesitant to test it out from the posts that I've seen describing how to do it. I saw the same thing for my model of the Note 9 and soon after found out that it's not possible for my model of it. If anyone can confirm whether or not I can and provide a link to a thread that includes the sources to what I need or links directly to the things I need it'd be much appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 16cocopuffs:
I've flashed gapps before without a problem on my Hero, but when I flash them on the Evo, it doesn't give the option to login to my google account. When the phone first boots up, I get the account login screen, but on google accounts it says, "google_login". When I click it, nothing happens. It gives me the option to skip, but I can't sign in to my google account. I don't know if its the version of gapps I'm using. I'm flashing gapps-20110112.zip
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Muellersirch:
What ROM are you using, that will make a difference.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 16cocopuffs:
I keep switching between them, I'm realizing that you don't have to flash gapps for every single rom. Right?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] proskateronnie:
It might be the ROM, but I'd try downloading a different zip. Theres a lot. Might just be the one you downloaded.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dseda86:
If I'm not mistaken there are different gapps for GB and Froyo. Make sure you've downloaded the appropriate version and you've wiped cache and dalvik cache before flashing.

hTC Evo CM7-n17
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] teh roxxorz:
That's correct. And you should always flash the newest gapps for the respective version when you flash the rom, and flash gapps after the rom. If you're updating the rom like CM7 #14 > #17, you don't have to re-flash gapps.
[Galaxy Tab General] edpete97:
Somehow I wiped the modem out of my VZW tab. I've used the instructions to get me back to stock via Heimdall and it works, other than the radio. I know at one point I accidentally put the zimage in the modem part. That's when I lost my modem. I've searched and found a modem.bin but I can't get it to flash either in hiemdall or odin. It fails at the end every time.

Now that I'm back to stock, I try to use the boot strapper from the market, and no matter what I do, I can't get back to Ext4 either. I think I borked it up. I can get into recover and download, just can't get my radio or any ext4 conversion to work .

Thanks.

How can it be OEM? Samsung never released something like this. Seems funny, but I'm sure it is still functional.

A store like that would sell you a slab of plastic and call it OEM.

I hope the chinese translation is worse than the product! i bought one right away even though i have 2 samsung batteries.

the "mugen" 3200mah battery with i897 backplate is still $80 on ebay, and that backplate is shiny and ugly.

[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
not to mention, i didnt buy the phone because it was thin.

honestly i find the phone too thin, and i have small hands. (only hands.. perverts.);)

i miss feeling the phone in my palm not just the edges.

i hope this battery sits nicely in the palm. i will definatly post pics when it arives. we havent gotten many good pics of oversized batteries yet.

the real question is does it actually work, many of these aftermarket batterys claim really high mah but never actually work much longer at all than the stock battery....
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
although I DO reserve sceptisism, as yes its a $10 double capacity battery from china, from reading the MANY threads on aftermarket batteries in this forum, i have optimistic hopes.

i have read about a similar looking battery but rated 3200mah that while it may not last twice as long as OEM it does last alot longer.. they dont just say a bigger number, they are twice as thick *.* new backplate.
[Captivate Accessories] WickedNite:
So how many hours of charging?
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:

anxiously waiting for so many ebay toys...
[Captivate Accessories] taKuto555:
i've ordered one myself, I've been waiting on these to come out for the captivate ever since I got my phone. After coming from a blackberry and using similar china extended capacity batteries, i've found it to be a huge benefit. I doubt it'll be the actual capacity but i'm sure it'll be substantial enough.

With my old blackberry I could barely get to 12 hours on a single charge (and carrying two oem batteries was a pain if I forgot to charge the spare), but with the extended battery I would easily last 2 days and still have charge.
[Captivate Accessories] shaolin95:
Thanks for this mate...I am getting one for sure. I dont expect twice the charge but anything over normal is fine. :-)
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
I am on day 2 with the correct battery. Day one battery life was the definitely better than oem. For instance yesterday i left to go to work an hour earlier and I came home an hour latter and my battery was at 50%. Usually i come home it is between 30-40% but that is also with 2 less hours also. After I got home at 6pm I wanted to try to kill the battery so I turned on EVERYTHING and put it on Full brightness. I let my daughter play about an hour of games, 30 minutes of GPS navigating and the rest of the time I just let it play videos. My phone got down to 3% by 10pm. So for 4 hours the screen was pretty much on and I lost about 50%. I am happy with those results so far.
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
The seller made it clear though that if there is any charge left in the battery once you receive it ...you should drain it first and then fully charge to 100.

Are you charging the battery on a standalone desk charger or the phone itself?

I'm at the disadvantage of running cm7 which only allows the battery to charge once the OS is loaded.

As of this morning, 4 hours on battery with an hour of display....75 percent ...

Ill fully charge again tonight and report back tomorrow.

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Accessories] fiveoneooo:
If you were to charge the battery on an external wall charger then when you put it in the phone flash a new rom that should reset the battery stats correctly right?
[Captivate Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
You can just clear battery stats when you go into clockword mod recovery. You don't need to flash a new rom to wipe it
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
Sgs tools can delete battery stats also while you are in OS too.

As for me, I charged the battery once I got it I didnt let it die first. Today though I unplugged at 6 am and it is almost 3 and i am 75% now. So today I am already experiencing better battery life.
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
How much display usage though? Display is the biggest user of battery....especially on the captivate

Ive been unplugged since 6 am

..it is now 5 pm here

With two hours of display...I am down to 50 percent.

I believe that is in line with the stock battery's usage...or at least it is for me.
[Captivate Accessories] pewpewbangbang:
You are supposed to drain the battery once you get it, then charge it up......not the other way around.

Anyways..........mine still didn't arrive today -.- zzzzzzzzzzzzz been 17 days now. I pray it comes soon to my new york location.

Hopefully its not lost or freaking stolen

This is the original US seller of the battery that i saw. Sadly, when i purchased the battery, the listing ended and it didn't reappear until yesterday.

Will definitely arrive much quicker and its only $18..........if mine doesn't come by this week, im gonna try to get a refund and buy this US seller one.

At 6pm I am at 60% with 50% usage on display and 38% on calls. Better today than yesterday that is for sure. I am going to test for a week before I try the stock battery again.
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
Jev3gs,

What is the length of time your display was on? Also, how long were the phone calls for?
[Captivate Accessories] Gregory:
Mine came today.. and its the wrong one as well, I reckon I will at least email the seller before I cut it, it appears to just have a spacer @ the back.. so..

Mail sent, hope they hurry up and reply, I wanna go ahead and trim it to start chargin' pretty bad :)
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
Display I dont know. It is 3 hours later so now is not a good judge. I havent made a call though since then and I have been on the phone for 34 minutes so that is correct at least.
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
So after surfing the i9000 forums to try and find some information on the extended battery...it turns out the actual output is 2000mah

And to be quite honest...that output seems more realistic considering the cost of the battery and the manufacturer.

Still better then the stock battery but nowhere close to the 3500mah claim.

I'll find the link I read and share with you guys
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
2000 mah, ah that sucks.
[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
if it were only 2000 mah thats only a 33% increase over the 1500 oems.

hmm...

i wonder how that stacks up to actual experience
[Captivate Accessories] WickedNite:

[Captivate Accessories] TRusselo:
oh **** brain fart.. 1500 oops.. and i have 2 of em.. duh!!! edited above.
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
Hey guys,

Here is the thread in the i9000 forums...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=816581&page=8

I will quote this from one post:

"Hi,

I have a LiPo battery reconditioner at work and it allows you to see - upon full charge and discharge of the battery, the remaining amount of energy that the battery can store (mAh)

My results are as follows:

Samsung Stock Battery: 1322mah (after 3 months of use - charging every day)

"3500mah" ebay Battery: 2067mah (after 4 fills and discharges)

Samsung Stock Battery: 1401mah (brand new spare at home - never used apart from test)"

I noticed right away when I got the battery that it was definately not a true 3500 mah claim. The first test I do for any type of battery, whether OEM or extended is to check display usage and compare both. So far, the 3500 mah battery is pulling in a slightly better display usage compared to OEM.

The cheap Chinese batteries on Ebay are exactly that....Cheap

You get what you pay for.
[Captivate Accessories] nickm50:
Mine showed up today.

Had to mod the battery it cames with, but the seller (Transcend) is shipping me the proper battery.

I have it on charge now. Will post back my results.
[Captivate Accessories] Spidious:
My $9.99 battery and case just showed up. 13 days to get here !

The case and battery fit perfect !.

It came 41% charged by the battery gauge. But that may be off due to the other was a 1500mAh

Currently having it playing AVATAR, Did notice one thing. With staggered case, now the speaker port isn't blocked laying down ! It is much louder !

I modified my Body Glove to fit by cutting out the battery area. Looks pretty good actually. The battery cover has what feels like a rubberized coating on it, and feels great next to the Body Glove...

And it feels a lot better holding it in my hand.

Here are a couple of pictures of it for you guys..

Even if it is actually a 3000mAh battery (21500 mAh batteries put together). It may well be worth the money. After discharging and recharging and clearing the battery memory, I will see just how long it last ?

Just noticed that while writing this the movie player has been on 40 minutes and only used 4% !
[Captivate Accessories] domtra:
Good job with the case! Looks great

When I first received the battery, it lasted very long as well. The problem is when you recharge it, it drains very fast. Oh, and even if it is 3000 mah...that is just a "claim". The OEM battery doesn't even produce 1500 mah (it's around 1450). Thus, if you take into account the two 1500 mah "cheap, chinese" batteries...the actual results will be FAR LESS then the claimed number. I read on the captivate forums that the 1500 mah shipped from China are posting results of 1000-1100 mah which is AWFUL.

After a few days of use, I can see that this battery is no where near 3000 or 3500 mah. It will probably be closer to 2000-2200 mah.

Ofcourse this is just from information I've read at the i9000 forums.
[Captivate Accessories] jev3gs:
Ok so I decided to go back to my stock battery to see if I am really getting better battery life or not. Truth is the extended battery is better without doubt comparing to my 4 month old oem battery. Right now it is 3pm and I am at 45%. Yesterday i was at 60% by 6pm. Plus my screen has only been on for 13 minutes. I am sold, i am going to buy another case to modify it for the extended battery. Lets just hope the battery lasts for 6 months at least :)
