[Captivate General] SOEed:
I have to say thank you so much. I have been flashing my captivate for over two years now and have soft bricked it many times but I have always been able to 3-button or buttons with USB cable recover it. Last night my brother asked me to flash his phone to CM10. I agreed to and I was shocked with ODIN failed and got stuck on setting connection. I was even more upset when nothing would put me in download mode.

I stumbled on this thread whilst waiting for radio shack to open this morning and my stock 2.2 ODIN saw the phone! Yay. Now the phone is happily running CM10. I think this is a sign anyways that I should make a JIG anyways. Third time in need of one and yet I always find the most obscure way of getting by without it. I am such a bad elec. eng. to not have make a single usb JIG.

Thank you again for posting this so long ago. And thank you XDA for (putting me in trouble but) always having the solutions to save me.

PS. The only difference in the two phones that I can tell is mine is batch 1012 and shipped stock eclair and his is 1xxx and shipped stock froyo.

thank you Soween
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] indiacam:
Hi all develoers here. Salute to you all for whatever you did for our milestone.

Just a noob question. Is by any chance, by stripping down, or by any magic, is there a possibility to port Android 3.0 for Milestone? Is it possible?

http://developer.android.com already released information and sdk about 3.0. Any expert comments about hardware requirement or any hardware comparisaon details available yet?

I have seen many chinese android tablets and devices with same or lower configuration than milestone running with higher versions like 2.3.3 and some even claiming to have 3.0. (There are already many 3.0 tablets on ebay with lower configuration than Milestone. http://cgi.ebay.in/BRAND-NEW-8GB-7-...31243148?pt=IN_PC_Laptops&hash=item4cf532848c )

Any possible luck? Any experts there?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] keunhuvac:
The old HTC G1 even can run 3.0 (just for fun, nothing more) so i think MS can run 3.0 (but...just for fun, nothing more...^_^).
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] lvcio:
As sayd, maybe MM can run 3.0 with some hack/tweak/mods, but nothing farther...

Google says that 3.0 is for tablets intended, 2.3/2.4 and so on for mobile:cool:
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] ovitz:
MM can't run Honeycomb, cause we have locked bootloader.

I can't imagine Honeycomb with Froyo kernel
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] indiacam:
Then why not for fun? When other low-configured devices can run 3.0 seriously, then why not on Milestone, which actually have good confi?

Do you still believe that developers should stick to what google or anyone else said? Most of the new tablets runnung 3.0 have similar configurations and even resolution of milestone.

Do not agree. Milestone is already rooted and thousands of experimets with GB is already done. Seems you dont visit milestone rom developement section. Its always better to get some information before commenting with dead ends.

Anyways thanks all for your inputs.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dimicom:
Are they still trying to Bruteforce open the bootloader? Or did they give up?
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] dcarr622:
It's still open at www.androinc.net, but most of us don't trust the project since the source was never released and it just seems shady.
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] indiacam:
almost a month over, but no useful information from motorola nor any developers. Seems motorola bootloader will never be cracked in future. :(
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] wisefreakz:
You are wrong. All the latest rom available for MM is over froyo kernel and no GB as you stated. Yes we now run GB on our MM but the Kernel still Froyo. I think YOU should start read the DEV section a bit more instead of saying this things.

Peace
[Motorola Droid and Milestone General] linuques:
Google has clearly stated that Android 3.0 is only meant for tablet use.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwerpla:
Installed superclean 2.9 with vodoo. EB01 voodoo kernel with no problems. Did this about 2 days ago and all has been awesome. Today had an interesting issue arise, twice today when trying to make an outbound call the phone hangs and won't complete the call. After reboot outbound calls work flawlesly. Any ideas??
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jenisiz:
It's not an issue with the rom...something is up with all the networks and modems as of late. I've been experiencing it for awhile as I use my phones (Only one is rooted, and tampered with, my fascinate) ALOT. Several ppl are not receiving calls and are unable to make them. If it begins to happen very often, as in every two or three calls, then I'd recommend going back to stock and seeing if the problem persists. If so, it's a hardware/network issue.

Edit: I dialed a number earlier and the phone hung for almost 15 seconds before connecting...no ****.
[Fascinate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pwerpla:
Glad to know i'm not the only one with problem. I suspected it may be a Verizon problem since I have had no problems with the upgrade to 2.9 till now.
[EVO 4G General] Igzekyativ:
So a random number called me this morning and I missed it. I don't usually return these calls but today I decided to.

After the phone rang, someone answered, "Hello, this is Sprint's Customer Service, how can I help you today?" I told the rep that I had received a missed call from this number and he said ok, and wanted to talk to me about some things with Sprint.

I had received calls like this before, requesting lots of my info, just to try to get me to buy a second line; but I decided to listen (I mean who wants to work anyways?).

He took all my info and then told me that they noticed that I use my 3G service more than 4G. He then asks me why? I told him, straight up, battery life. 4G is a battery killer.

He takes a moment and then says, well, for the first 1000 customers that we contact, we are offering a second, backup, battery for $0.99. I then proceded to ask what size it was, do they have extended batterys, etc. Turns out I just missed the extended batteries but they still had some 1500mah batteries.

I ordered one even though I have the stock 1500mah and a 2600mah just because it was only $1.04 after tax; why would you pass this up?! The rep told me the amount will show up on my sprint bill and that it will be at my house on March 16th; and that was that.

Basically, if sprint called you today and you want a battery for $0.99, call them back and tell them why you dont use 4G!
[EVO 4G General] codyboi18:
woah what is the number they called you from? I wanna see if I can get the same deal.
[EVO 4G General] Dan330:
awesome...
[EVO 4G General] Jfree3000:
If they call I'll be sure to tell them that I don't use 4g because its a battery killer and it doesn't damn work at my house! Wonder if they will give me a "4g Airave" lol.
[EVO 4G General] nyne7lac:
I had a number call me today from an 805 area code. I picked it up but no one ever said anything so after I said hello 3 times I just hung up
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
I sure hope you didnt give them your credit card info. Sounds like a scam to me. Sprint would never just call you as ask if you want a cheap battery...
[EVO 4G General] gqstatus0685:
Sounds like a phishing scam. It was probably to get you to give up your number and pin so they could order equipment and bill it to your account. I would call and change your pin and see if anything was done in your account.
[EVO 4G General] 4redstars:
i call scam as well...I never give out info to a solicitor...i hang up and call an official number back
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
do you kno what department they directed you to
[EVO 4G General] dbolot1:
Sprint called me yesterday and offered an extender battery for $.99 + tax. I said yes, today I got a conformation email with a tracking number. Very nice of them and I was about to buy one.
[EVO 4G General] pimp100500:
i need an extra battery do u know wat number it was from or how i could get one
[EVO 4G General] sitlet:
Again, it was probably scam. It doesnt matter what department they say they are calling from, they can say anything to get you to believe them.

Once again, I hope you didnt give out your credit card infomation. And if you gave out your account and pin, call sprint immediately and change your pin.

once again, it's probably a scam. If it's not, then you should just be able to call *2 and ask for it. But again, I highly doubt sprint would just call people and ask if they want a cheap battery. Sprint never puts accessories on sale just over the phone. If they were on sale, it would also be on the website.
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Yeah I'd be careful about something like this ... I too hope you didn't give out CC info even though they said they're charging to bill. Don't want to be #DuhLosing
[EVO 4G General] 94tbird:
because scammers know you have a 4g phone lol

Sprint WANTS you to use 4g. They dont have a congested 4g network. They DO have a congested, constipated 3G network.

Just like when nextel merged with sprint. everyone was told to push Sprint phones as the nextel network was so overloaded it was on the verge of collapse. That was why you always got the "Please wait while the nextel subscriber you are trying to reach is located" messages. That is how the 3G network is now, and that is why everyone and their mother has been complaining about 3G speeds lately
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Who says they have to know to ask? If somehow they know you're a sprint customer ... however that may be ... just sounds more curious than not. Scammers work lime that ... they try to target and sometimes it doesn't go as it should, they ask questions that don't apply ... but they're hitting tons of people so ratio of blah blah blah to bleh .... just saying. Be careful, honestly hope its legit. Just seems strange.
[EVO 4G General] Igzekyativ:
I hope it was not a scam, they were able to tell me what my secuirty question was and what my address was and I did not give them my PIN, just the answer to the security question.. I just changed my PIN and security question/answer to be safe..

I will post up on the 16th to see if I got a battery.. and no they did not ask for my CC info

the number was 877-624-****
[EVO 4G General] mmegalodon:
Well, certainly sounds more legit.
[EVO 4G General] Rydah:
It was me.
[EVO 4G General] overclockxp:
Deal is over for now. If you call you can get a wall charger for a buck. But the $1 extended battery was for 1,000 targeted individuals.

To track the delivery of your Sprint order, please access the designated carrier’s website.

DO NOT REPLY: This is an outbound email address only."
[EVO 4G General] :
Check the tracking number. I just think it's fishy. They always ask for PIN first.
[EVO 4G General] WhatThe2:
Tracking number begins with a legit number. Looks ok to me.
[EVO 4G General] overclockxp:
I don't understand why you have to swear at me just because you are too stupid and lazy to find the number for yourself and give them a call.

All I did was type up what the CSR at the number posted above told me. I didn't even mention the 99 cent battery. I called up complaining about how the 4G sucks down my battery and how I liked having 4G but can't really use it due to battery drainage. He offered me a wall charger for a buck. Then he said they just had a promotion for the extended battery for a buck as well and that they received very positive feedback on it. They were out of the 1,000 allotted but Sprint might run it again in the future. I said I'd take the wall charger for a buck. He asked me for my cell number, PIN, verify address, and the buck would be on my next bill.

I'll post up what charger I get. I'm on vacation next week so it might be a while.
[EVO 4G General] lookout4theyeti:
I run a preferred retailed sprint store, and sprint usually calls customers from 866 numbers. Anything else is usually a scam.. I'd be weary of this. Also I have not heard anything about this from any of the corporate people I speak with on a daily basis.

You should NEVER give out your account information unless YOU make the call into customer care.

If this is legit, then its a great deal for sure! I just usually receive a newsletter whenever sprint runs these kind of promotions for how to handle it when a customer comes into the store asking about the promotion
[EVO 4G General] bacidath:
just check the header on the email...
[EVO 4G General] :
Can you post the email address you got in your email? I think there is a way to look it up to make sure it's not an alias. Ask yourself this also:

Did you visit a kiosk recently to inquire about an upgrade or new line?

Did you post on a website your number and carrier? (etc. Sprint users.com)

I just think it's fishy. I'm happy for you if you got that deal but if it's too good to be true then you know...

I would call Sprint and asked them if those charges were billed to your bill already.

Also read this:

http://www.walletpop.com/2010/09/10/sprint-employees-charged-in-15-million-cell-phone-scam/

It could be internal fraud (biggest type of fraud). They could have spoofed the number to get info also. Read this:

[EVO 4G General] dbolot1:
I think that everyone should stop freaking out. I got the same phone call, ordered the extended battery, got the email, went to ups website and it shows that the item has shipped and in transit to be here on Monday.
[EVO 4G General] :
It would be funny if they sent you a dirty sock with a strawberry smelling sticker attached to it.
[EVO 4G General] dbolot1:
Give me your address so I can forward it to you, it looks like you might need it more.

All jokes aside this is not a scam.

[EVO 4G General] OneStepAhead:

[EVO 4G General] Bigjim1488:
Probably so but it's always good to be safe then identity thefted (yea I just made that word up wanna fight about it??) :D
[EVO 4G General] DirtyShroomz:
They need the account information, even on a call out, to verify identity and order equipment with the customers permission. Nobody can just go in an account and order something without verifying it.

Also LOL at all the people that think this is a scam, Sprint does this ALL the time - but I can see where you guys would think it's a scam. Though I do have a question, what is the probability that scammers are calling Sprint folks, specifically with 4G phones and know their security question so they can get information to order equipment? Absolutely 0.
[EVO 4G General] ExSaint:
I doubt this legit. Probably not even Sprint. Sounds like a scam to me. I'm sure you can Google it and find a bunch of bs about it.
[EVO 4G General] overclockxp:
I got an email from ups with a tracking number for my $1 wall charger. Looks legit to me so far.

[EVO 4G General] cruise350:
Its legit, I got a phone call like that more than a year ago when I had a TP2 and received a battery deal also. You guys crack me up on your conspiracy theories. In reality your just upset because you didn't get the call and the battery deal so you have to complain about something.

I could give two ****s about a battery since I work at a desk where my phone is always plugged in. I work for one of the big 2 carriers and I speak on experience. I see fraud on a daily basis and forgive me for actually caring. It's because of my job that I put a block on all credit bureaus.
[EVO 4G General] sand1303:
Go to eBay and get one if u don't get it from Sprint. I got one in a bundle dirt cheap. Never used it. Where are us guys going to stash an extra battery on us. That is what charges are for. Besides a warlock never let his battery get too low.

I got a call.today said I would like a phone with better battery life yada yada yada, and in the end I was lucky enough to be offered that low end lg phone........not rudely but informed him.that would be a downgrade from.the evo
[EVO 4G General] AdamLeonard:
If you use the same PIN and Security Question/Answer on other sites, I would change them too. If this turns out to be a scam, they could use that information on random popular sites like Amazon and Paypal try to gain access.
[EVO 4G General] babyschmoof:
I would tell them I don't use 4G because half of South Florida doesn't have it.
[EVO 4G General] elitistdogg:
do they give you 7 gram rocks too?

BI WINNING
[EVO 4G General] twilk73:
Why are you all saying check this check that it could be a scam.. Just call Sprint and make sure someone from them called you and ordered a battery. If not let them know someone contacted you and is probably trying to hack your account. Iv delt with scammers and they will say anthing and its hit or miss with them sometimes. They dont care if they tell you something that doesnt make sense, its a phone they just say oops wrong number and try again with the next number. And as far as 4g goes if they buy your info from Sprint they can see what kind of phone you have and thats enough to see that you have Sprint.

Scammers are crafty.
[EVO 4G General] heathmcabee:
I had the call too!

I got this call too about a week ago and called them back. They asked me if I had, had any trouble with my Evo. They said they had got it the records to call me from Sprint. I said, no, no trouble as of right now cause I'm using my Epic at the moment. They said oh, Ok.. Thanks bye and call me back if you want to report anything.

Man I wish I still had his number, cause after this thread, I believe they were probably using HTC to promote things. The guy didn't try and push anything on me, but when I told him my Samsung Epic sucks and my HTC Evo never had any problems, he promptly told me to have a great day.

Sucks for me, I guess, could have had a free extended battery.

BTW my epic is for sale if anyone is interested. lol

My sister went behind my back and upgraded her phone and billed it to my account at one of those kiosks. All you need is the name and pin. I found out when I looked on my bill this month. I ended up paying for it since it wasn't that bad but still. Oh yeah she wasn't authorized either.
[EVO 4G General] Zoidpilot:

As much as I would love to see Linux on this thing, i would also love to see the Streak running Android 3.0, or at least the Honeycomb tablet UI. As i am not skilled enough to do this myself (and have no idea where to even begin learning how), in the mean time I would like to offer a bounty to the first person who can produce a version for everyday use. *cough*DJSteve*cough*

I'll throw in $10 to whoever can make it happen.

Hopefully I'm not the only one?

I would also throw money at this but you might as well just send it on the DJSteve. As he is the one working on making it happen and given his past ROMS it will be wonderful.

Just have to wait. I hate waiting :(

[LG Optimus 2x] gensplejs:
Sooo. I have had my Optimus 2X for 2 days now. I charged the phone fullt before goint to bed and left wifi on. (should turn off when phone sleeps)

The first night i lost about 3% of the battery. Great....

But... The second night i lost 42%!!!

I have been trying to investigate the issue and after some digging with spare parts i found out the wifi was on all the time the second night... Also for some reason car home allways runs in the background (starts at boot and restarts if killed) and spare parts claims car home uses the phone sensors 100% of the time.

Anyone else having battery draining issues?

Im going to charge 100% again tonight and run with no installed user apps. If the problem persists i try and freez some of the loads of sys apps that run in the background all the time.
[LG Optimus 2x] Divicio:
I also noticed some battery drain on mine but not over 40%... its more like 20%. The battery really disappoints me anyway. I have to recharge two or three times a day?l maybe thr battery needs to get trained over time, I hope...

You found a solution yet?
[LG Optimus 2x] londahl:
My battery already holds up alot better now, then when i got the phone four days ago.

About 60-70% left after a 14 hour day with some surfing, benching and calling/texting. Much better then my Desire on stock ROM, but still nowhere near the Desire on custom ROM.

Looking forward to some community goodness :)

BTW, removing carhome.apk seems to make quite the difference.
[LG Optimus 2x] fen_nyc:
That's good to hear. Is it common for batteries to act this way? Talk about wildin' out. :confused:

[LG Optimus 2x] goulloux:
Quick question about best used on the battery ...

Should we dry the battery to 0 for the first cycle ?

Or only to 20% ?

Is it bad if we start to charge the phone whent the battery is at 60% ?
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
On the contrary:

modern Li-Ion batteries don't like it if you discharge them to a minimum. Moreover they don't have the memory effect that you seem concerned about.

In a nutshell: Charge your phone whenever you can, at any charge level. Your battery will thank you.

On the first few charges though, you should always charge to 100% to help the battery gain her full efficiency
