[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaxx189:
so heres what i did, i got a stock captivate, used odin to flash rom to galaxy i 9000 and its really buggy. i wish to flash back to stock rom and update to froyo then unlock it so i can use it on t-mobile. when i say really buggy i mean i cant get anything but G network maybe E if im in the middle of portland or salem, but always have full receptoin. now can anyone help me fix this so i can use it with t-mobile? if not then i would like to flash it to another rom but, it wont go into download mode since i dont have a home button to use. should i get a jig and do all that other stuff ive got to do or is there another way? can anyone point me into the right directoin. either post they know of or from experience. i would greatly appreciate it ive spent a few days searching and havent found much info thats helped.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] venomio:
Oh wow... First of all, flashing a i9000 ROM is really NOT GOOD. i9000 ROMs are for the i9000 phones, not the i897 (Captivate). As far as unlocking goes, I hope you haven't screwed up your IMEI (and such) data on your phone somehow while flashing different ROMs onto your phone. Unlocking can be done on both 2.1 and 2.2, but you will need the unlocking codes from AT&T themselves (easiest way).

For the download mode, if you can't get into the download mode via ADB... I would definitely try a USB Jig. Try the alternate key combos to try and get into download mode as well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mbudden:
Owch. This is what happens when you don't read before you do things.

Hopefully you can get yourself into Download Mode so you can flash via Odin back to the stock ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
you do realize that by unlocking it and putting it on TMobile you will not get ANY 3g?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaxx189:
well i was fallowing advice from an idiot and a few other idiots who backed the info and was happy with what it had done with their phone. little did i know till a little bit ago is that it was for germany not usa. ok so i need to do some research on adb. now since i want to use this phone for t-mobile and do get into download mode should i flash to captivate stock then update to froyo then unlock or just flash to vibrant? im not going to be using this phone for calls or internet browsing unless on wifi and using skype. its only going to be used for texting and games and video and pics and all the other wonderful options this phone has. t-mobile has a pre paid texting only plan thats only $15 a month. and everywhere i go has free wifi, if not ive got my own way of getting wifi if ive got my laptop for ad-hoc with braodband card.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmaxx189:
do i need to change anything with the phone if i just plan on using t-mobile???? cause it is considered a global phone or whatever and not locked cause it shows i have t-mobile or att or sprint network to choose from as before the flash it only showed att. or should i just fix this one and flash it all back to stock and sell it to buy a new used phone lol

thank you for your help and advice/ its greatly appreciated
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
just flash back to stock 2.1...unlock it and u can flash any awesome rom.most save your imei and nvdata...i was on darky 8,1 and used t mobile, even used all carriers in india

to get to dl mode use adb or jig....never flash i9000 roms directly, if u want, u can flash i9000 based custom roms we have in dev section..
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leadfoot9281:
i don't believe i will have any problems in the root itself as unrevoked should work here like it did on my desire, but my question is my friend wants root to get rid of sprint bloat and wireless tethering and battery life help. pretty much the basic reasons lol. he doesn't want any major upkeep, just a stable rom since he is a police officer that he can use everyday and not lose any functions of the phone. since it isn't me with the phone the normal flash and test method is just kinda not possible so im looking for some input on the best rom to give him. any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k2buckley:
Basically any of the Sense roms are fully functional. I prefer Myn's, but I like all of them, really. They all differ a bit with the theming, but they are all fully functional, and have most of the bloatware removed, with the option to install some sprint .apk's back if you'd like. If you want an unthemed fully functional rom (looks exactly like stock, with a few changes), then try the Sprint Lovers rom. I believe it does not have bloat removed, and has all of the sprint apps.

Keep in mind that AOSP roms also have 4g now, and hdmi is also working for sense and aosp. So I guess almost all roms are fully functional now, but I have less issues when I use sense roms.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leadfoot9281:
Cool. We aren't in a 4g area so that's not a deal breaker either way. I'm gonna let him decide on the way the rom looks as I will worry more about the techie stuff. Thanks for the help.

Sent from my desire with SWYPE sorry bout the spelling
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jayharper08:
I have tried many and the most stable is the Myn's RLS5. Has everything (4g, hdmi, etc.) and with Netarchy 131 more aggressive kernel it was awesome with battery life. For me anyway :)

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] leadfoot9281:
Cool, I will check into that. One thing I was just noticing, there is alot of talk about prl/pri updating? Is that something that has to downloaded and flashed and how often does it occur? I'm on cellsouth and not familiar with it because on our network we just dial*228 and its done automatically rooted or not.

Sent from my desire with SWYPE sorry bout the spelling
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] splink7007:
The PRL can be updated using a sense ROM thru settings and system update. The PRI will be flashed. All the radios can be found here. As far as the PRI goes, most people find 1.77 has most stable battery life.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BonkyMoon:
I'm a fan of the Sprint Lovers rom; it's basically stock, but the Sprint bloatware is removable just like any other application, so you don't need to go into system/app/ to remove any of them. It also has a classy battery indicator with percentages and neat animations when charging and stuff.
[XPERIA X10 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] usmanjavid:

Hey buddy go to the app called developer tools and crash the system server. Then it'll reboot. And you should have signal. Now if you still don't then you have to reflash the rom just reinstall v4.5 with xrecovery then do the update 4.5.7 then flash gapps and your done. Hope this works

[Epic 4G General] wolvdog316:
I don't think any of the other threads I searched had this exact problem, so here it goes.

The haptic feedback vibration is SO weak on my Epic. Is that just how it is? Cause I tried my friends Vibrant and Galaxy S 4G Monday and their haptic stuff was real strong. Like its decent if a third party app uses haptic feedback like a keyboard app. But as far as going into settings putting vibration all the way up, then hitting the back button its really weak like you can barely feel it. It's been like that since day one. Eclair, Froyo, Bonsai, nothing changed it. I'm curious if I got a bad phone and should return it.

Hi,

I purchased tmobile g1 phone from ebay USA. Now I moved to India. It came installed with android 1.6 and DMD64 build. It was having good battery life. Almost 12 hours with sufficient usage.

Then I installed CM6.1.0 and danger spl as 2.22.23.02 T-Mobile / US.

http://wiki.cyanogen...title=HTC_Dream

HTC Dream: Rooting

Installing DangerSPL

Installing CyanogenMod 5+

Now I see battery draining in 2 hours. Battery usages shows things like:

android OS 55%

cell standby 22%

android system 9%

The battery does feel warm when its charged/charging and then draining even with no usage of phone.

I have also done power saving tips like disable GPS, use 2G, disable bluetooth, set display brightness to min (earlier it showed 82% power usage by display so I set to MIN). But still I get above results now.

is battery dying or bug with my install or bug in cm6.1.0 ?

What are the guidelines for including a free market app such as a launcher, widget, utility, etc. in a published custom ROM?

Is there an understood licensing model for free market apps that aren't explicitly GPL or CC?
[Android] gnarlyc:
Get permission from the author who wrote the app. I'm no expert, but that would be what I would do.
[Android] jeff.mac:
Thanks gnarlyc - kind of what I figured, but wanted to be sure. :)
[Android] Droidzone:
Most authors would be delighted that their software is offered in a custom Rom. Providing credits on your Rom download link usually suffices, but of course getting express permission is always better.
[Android] rogier666:
For copyrights, patents and other intellectual property rights it doesn't matter if the app is paid or free. The author always keeps the rights and you always have to ask for permission, unless the app comes with a license like GPL that explicitly allows you to copy it without asking the author first.

Authors do not always like their apps included in custom roms, because it reduces their market download count.
[Android] Droidzone:
I agree that permission should be sought, but can't agree that inclusion of apps reduces its market download count.

Some apps have topped popularity charts because custom roms include it, and might be the first exposure of the app for many users. Also every time a new version is released, every person who uses the rom would have to download the app update.

Swyped with my Starburst based Desire. Forgive any typos!
[Android] notasimpleway:
App devs might have an issue if their apps have ads in them and the ROM dev blocks ads. I feel that it is stealing then. Ads = being able to give the app away free. I knew a few app devs that got mad at a ROM dev for making his ROM block ads(changing the host files) and using their apps without making it known beforehand.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] paravorheim:
I know there's plenty of threads about this, but I wanted to contribute my two cents.

I have lasted, and am on my last percent:

17 hr 1 m

display 3 hr 57 m 56%

phone idle 13 hr 4 m 20%

cell standby 17 hr 1 m 10%

voice calls 9m 9%

wifi on 10 hr 5 m 8%

Really good for usage in my opinion. This was not standard usage either, tons of apps were downloaded over wifi and 3G, pandora on for about 1-2 hrs (still running), played a couple waves of dungeon defenders, doodle jump, fruit ninja. Was on webtop for 15-20 mins, played some flash videos in this time.

Used camera and Videocamera apps and effects/flash for 10-15 mins. around a hundred texts or so.

I'm fairly sure that on a day with fairly standard use (for me of course), I could last a full 24 hours.

[Desire HD General] lawrence750:
best thing i've found so far is androstream (using vplayer to play the streamed files) it works pretty good over wifi, but as my home internet sucks it's too slow to really watch outside of the house, because the whole vlc converting/streaming part of it doesn't seem to work so well - but I put that down to my slow connection.. you might have more luck give it a try!
[Desire HD General] dexteral:
There are many way

Androstream . Best way

Vlc stream and convert . Just install the androstream server and get this free app from market it should work without a problem

Use file expert ( from market) on network . Give your ip of computer (don't forget the password on computer otherwise sharing will not work ) and play any video on your dhd using v player or rock player. Also best

Gmote from android market with v player

[HD2 General] zukа:
Just posting this in case anybody is tossing up purchasing a 1 year + old phone - I certainly was, and don't regret the decision at all.

Just received my HD2 I bought last week. New definition of frustration - having your SD card arrive a few days after your handset so you can't install Android yet. Anyway, just on hardware alone... woooow...

Even in WinMo 6.5, the screen appears to be relatively clean and crisp. The handset itself feels incredibly good to hold, is amazingly thin (everybody I've shown it to remarks about that) and somehow manages to feel slight despite packing a screen large enough to have your breakfast on.

I've handled every phone HTC has put out for the past two years, and this by far feels the most solid and premium. One of my biggest bugbears about the Android stable is I haven't found build quality to match Apple's iphone efforts, but the HD2 does - I was especially impressed with the rear battery hinge mechanism and just the general feel in your hand. The thing is gorgeous.

Why did HTC abandon this minimalistic design direction? The Desire HD looks like it has several growths coming off of it, the Desire looks like some kind of quasi-purple alien sex toy, and the Legend - which I currently own - is far too blingy for my tastes. This is understated, space-defying and restrained. Even the HTC logo on the back is a reasonable, unflashy size, as if they recognise that not everybody likes feeling like a giant billboard.

As I say, I can't flash Android for a few more days yet, but based on hardware alone this thing is a real winner. Very impressed. To me, it feels better made than any handset on the market that I've played with: more solid than an iPhone 4, more expensive than a Galaxy S, more restrained than a Desire HD and thin enough to make Tom Brady's wife want to go and have a vomit.

If you're tossing up whether to buy an HD2, do it. I'll let you know how I get along with flashing Rafdroid HD (I'm a total noob, so it'll be interesting to see if I manage it).

Cheers,

Zuka

as for me ive had it with HTC anymore. yes the hardware is awesome but HD2 software freezes just annoys me. I hope you will not encounter such problems but i doubt it.

[HD2 General] da9th_one:
i too purchased an hd2 last week...i got the touch pro2 when i came out and deliberately put off purchasing the hd2 untill i got bored with the tp2...also i wanted a winmo device as opposed to the wp7

as far as the freezing issues goes...once i updated the software at http://www.t-mobile.com/wmupgrade/ that reduced the freezes on the device nearly 95%...the only "mini freeze" i get is when listening to music when a text message comes through...prior to the update it froze approx 5 sec and about half a sec post update...

i went to tmo yesterday and all their hd2 accessories were 30% off and and they took off and additional 35% i got a data cable, screen protectors and the clear case w/ kickstand for 8 bucks n change...
