[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tmoles41505:
Dont know what to do at this point...any help would be GREATLY appreciated. Here is what all i have done so far. Late 2010 i downloaded OCLF from android market and rooted 2.1 Eclair had consistant Quad score from 2300-2450. Phone started acting glitchy and slow so i used app to unroot and root back. Worked great for a little while then same problems repeated. So i thought i'll update 2.2 then reroot. Waited on 2.2 through Samsung Kies to release and updated. 1st attempt phone rooted but when booted up it didnt recognize sim or memory card and about 5 force close screens appeared when on home screen. Also, wifi stopped working completely so i bought a new router and it worked again(tried on other wifi locations to test issue before and after). Samsung Kies wouldnt allow another update so i used Odin and it seemed to force everything through. Tried downloading SuperOneClick on WinXP went to root error stated i needed .net 2.0 file, so i downloaded .net v3.5. Went to root again and same error missing 2.0 file. Tried using One Click Root and copied files to memory card clicked 2.2 root phone reboots and i get the "signature verification failed error" a majority seem to be receiving(both done on WinXP and Mac 10.6.6-on Mac phone reboots fine but there is no root in place). Ive also tried other methods i've read about such as OneClickLagFix and z4root, downloading to computer placing on memory card using "MyFiles" that comes stock on device and "Astro Manager" from android market. When i extract files i get a security error that At&t has wonderfully put in place. Also tried rebooting into recovery mode to apply update.zip file and there is no option to install specific file only option to reinstall packages and when i reinstall i get signature verification error. THEN i used Odin to go back to 2.1 tried using SuperOneClick and One Click Root same problems repeat. Used Samsung Kies to go back to 2.2 to make a little faster since i cant seem to root either way and now i have no 3 button recovery mode or download mode. Purchased 3 ohm resistors for a Jig in case i EVER need download mode since my phone seems to be all sorts of messed up(or maybe its just user error). Ive tried many other ways and methods but this post is already too long to list. Phone seems to be running decent Quad score between 1000-1050 but i would appreciate ANY advice to root on either 2.1 or 2.2. I'm running Windows XP and Macbook w/ v. 10.6.6 and i feel as though i had exhausted all options!! PLEASE HELP!?!?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bames:
New tried Super One Click Root with 2.1 but always flawless for me with 2.2. You said you tried it with 2.1 but have you retried Super One Click since updating to 2.2?

If that doesn't work try odin back to 2.1 then use galaxy s one click. Only instead of running the program that places the update zip on your phone try manually putting the file i have attached on your phone.

The file attachment labeled Root.zip is the root update file from Galaxy One Click Root from. Just rename it as Update.zip. Put it on internal SD. Goto recovery mode and Reinstall packages (this is for 2.1).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gorgy76:
if yo can go into download mode try odin back to stock as what bames said if still no button combos install the leaked froyo from designgears rev02 it will bring back your button combos and you can messed up anything again once settled:p:D you did't diasble oclf and file ext2 before flashing something that's your caveat there.. your phone will bounce back and forth with that:rolleyes::D

Ok, just flashed to CM 7 #22. My battery usage indicates 35% for android system.

My settings were the same on RC 2 and usage of android system was like 5%?

what exactly is wrong?

I have sync apps all day long on RC 2 too.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
more info is needed. you need to post your total battery percent that you started with, and how much battery dropped, and how many hours that took to drop. and also post your "screen on" time. without that info, your android system 35% is meaningless. maybe the phone was only unplugged for 25 seconds, and android system used 35% in those 25 seconds. we need the relative usage.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
im sorry, :p. I just wiped battery stats so dont really have a screenshot of it.

but essentially i started with 65% battery at 6pm, ended with 32% at 10pm, with no major usage (no games, minor web surfing, accounts syncing were on) , display usage was tabulated to be 50% and android system 35%.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zephiK:
you wiped battery stats without recalibrating your battery.. google on how to do it if you're unsure
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
That info was before i wiped battery stats. I recalibrated my battery and will post an update in about 10hrs time.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
Roughly 3 hours into battery time, with minor browsing. Android system is using 30%.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
14 hrs on and android system is eating 23%.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RogerPodacter:
Seems pretty normal to me. How much battery have you lost.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] OblivioN1:
I have a N1 in 2.3.3 and had the same problem. Right after I updated from 2.2.1 to 2.3.3 android system would devour my battery very quickly. Turned out to be an issue with how gingerbread handles wifi sleep. I changed wifi sleep policy to Never and the android system usage of my battery decreased slightly. Then I took it a step further and started turning off my wifi once I left home (constant wifi source). Since then my battery life has been amazing.

Again I'm on a N1 not a NS but maybe it'll help.

[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] afishpie:
After 1 day, my android system now takes about 8%, things are getting back to normal.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] abhilashraj:
I agree with this as well.. Infact, i'll go one step further and say leave ur wifi off, if your phone finds it hard keeping the connection..

I assumed that leaving my Wifi on would be a good thing while I was at home..but certains parts of my house have pretty lousy wifi coverage... so i switched wifi off completely..and tadaaa.. my battery lasted a lot longer..

(i guess its probably because my phone had to spend lesser energy "searching for wifi" and then hooking onto poor reception, only to lose it again in 5 minutes.)

have a look at the inflection in the battery usage graph attached at the point where i switched wifi off ..definitely looks like something's up with wifi
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nickmv:
Try CM7 build #26. The battery life is quite impressive on it, especially when on standby mode. Over night, it drained the battery less than 2%.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] crzdcole:
i'm having an issue with this as well.

running stock rooted rom

11hrs 49 m on battery

display 29% screen on 2h 12m

android system is 17%

etc.

why is android system so high!? i don't recall it ever doing this before until recently.
[Nexus S Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rentaric:
@crzdcole

If your overall battery life is still ok, then nothing to worry about. High percentages in one part doesn't automatically mean something is wrong, might as well be that the other parts - in relation - just take less.

how do they know? think it's purely based on how much data you are using at once time?

Think they are really doing this or just trying to scare people out of tethering?
[HTC Inspire 4G] gehjl:
There's a big thread on this on another iPhone site, but I'm curious how many android users have gotten this email.
[HTC Inspire 4G] mudknot2005:
Hmmm I could see a class action lawsuit coming from this. Along the same lines as when Apple tried to make jailbreaking illeagal. Personally I don't see a problem we are using the data we pay for. It should be up to us how we use it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] netnerd:
what about a class action lawsuit about att 4G BS??

on att map, it shows i have 4G coverage in bayarea, CA but my speedtest never go higher than 4mb! speedtest on inspire 4G is the same as any 3G phones!
[HTC Inspire 4G] kgeissler:
I tether once in a while, usually while on vacation. I did not get any notice. I seem to think this is triggered by data usage. I only use about 1GB a month.

Those of you that got notified, how much data do you use in a typical month?
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Wow. I too think it's a 5GB or so trigger.
[HTC Inspire 4G] bedwa:
It's more the gateway than anything else. MyWi enables the broadband or ISP.cingular gateway. If we ensure we are going through the wap.cingular gateway then it is less likely. In addition, I would suggest anyone running anything close to stock edit your database in /data/data/com.android.providers.telephony/databases/telephony.DB and ensure that anything in the area of 410310 doesn't say broadband or ISP.cingular, but wap.cingular or phone instead.
[HTC Inspire 4G] lrs421:
Good info, so if you changed your APN to wap.cingular would that do it?
[HTC Inspire 4G] smalis:
The email in the link says AT&T sends text messages when we hit certain percentages of data used. I have never received such a message. Are they supposed to be automatic, or do I have to enable them?
[HTC Inspire 4G] grumpy.medic:
I would say it is a little of both. This is nothing new, not even for AT&T.

Ultimately what it comes down to is, the amount of data you move at one time, services requested and types of packets sent/received. Everything which can be monitored on an automated basis.

For thethering I try not to over-do it, but only use it when I need it.

As far as I am concerned, I already pay for data usage and I should not be restricted on how I use it.
[HTC Inspire 4G] metaldood:
I have read people using 20+ gb a month. Those people deserve to be capped. They are the reason why capped data plans came in the first place. With that said how At&t is detecting this through browser Id's or Ttl is a mystery for now.o
[HTC Inspire 4G] Simba501:
I've consistently used more than 5 gigs a month the last few months and I don't even tether much at all. The vast majority of my data use occurs on my device.

*Haven't seen the aforementioned text or email btw

Via the XDA app for the HTC Inspire

[HTC Inspire 4G] jacknifebootstrap:
I know this is the Inspire thread but I've been thethering with my HTC pure for months now (between 3-8gb) and have never heard anything... I wonder if it's because I'm directing my data through MediaNet or if I've been lucky so far.
[HTC Inspire 4G] gunnyman:
Everything I'm reading says iPhone owners are the only ones getting notices.
[HTC Inspire 4G] cyber_pete:
I wonder if they built something into the stock ROM that allows them to track and if by using custom ROMs we avoid detection.
[HTC Inspire 4G] Gunfighter13:
$10 per GB is to much. I see if you upgrade your phone you can not keep your unlimited plan. 4GB is not enough if you do everything from your personal communication device. :mad:
[HTC Inspire 4G] steezee:
I don't think it's unfair for AT&T to bump users off of unlimited plans if they are tethering with their device...the Smartphone data plan is for the phone...not for devices attached to the phone...they did have a 60 dollar tethering plan back in the day that was unlimited on the phone and 5GB for connected devices...I disagree more with AT&T capping DSL/Uverse more than I disagree with Mobile broadband caps...since a smartphone isn't supposed to be a person's primary source for internet
[HTC Inspire 4G] TurboniumX:
I disagree completely. That's like saying a loaf of bread is $3, but if you're going to use it for grilled cheese it's $10. Both loaves make sandwiches, who cares what kind it is. In the end, you'll eventually run out of bread (unless you were grandfathered in).
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScottHW:
I recently upgraded from the CM7 stock ADW.Launcher (1.3.6) to ADWLauncher EX 1.2.2.

Firstly, I want to support the Dev of one of the best and most popular Apps out there.

The Feature I was most interested in was the ability to edit the Menu (I hate that More \|/ dropdown, totally unnecessary clicking).

When I try to do this:

Menu>More>ADWSettings>General Behavior>System Preferences>Customize Menu>

and then uncheck items, and/or move them around, the changes don't stick when I go back to my Home Screen.

Or more accurately, they stick about 1 in 20 tries, but I have found no rhyme or reason to it.

Anyone else experienced this same problem?

I was also discussing this on the CM Forum

http://forum.cyanogenmod.com/topic/18309-force-adwlauncher-settings-into-settings-menu/

And I'll post a comment directly on the ADWLauncher EX page as well

http://jbthemes.com/anderweb/2011/01/adwlauncher-ex-1-2-2-released/#comments
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScottHW:
Workaround

Well, I think this is almost certainly a bug, but I did figure out a workaround.

Menu>More>ADWSettings>General Behavior>System Preferences>Customize Menu>

Make the change(s) you want

Press Back button

Click back into Customize Menu>

Make the change(s) you want again

Press Home button
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] si3eck684:
A way to put the ADW Launcher EX menu back into the settings menu?

I read your post on the other forum and was wondering if you or others have found a way to put the ADW Launcher EX menu back into the settings menu?

Once I purchased the EX version, made it my default, and deleted the regular ADW launcher, the ADW menu disappeared from the settings menu. I also tried to use root manager and move the file to /system/app folder from the /data/app, rebooted but nothing shows up.

Anyone have a solution to this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] ScottHW:
No solution yet

Sorry to say, I haven't really come up with anything yet.

For the time being, I have settled on using the Customize Menu option, according to the hack I described above.

Since my [REQUEST] in the CM forum went totally unresponded, I think I will submit it in the Bug Tracker.

Skrki was discussing how Requests should be best handled, but until a more unified (and possibly democratic) approach is implemented, I think I'll just double-post in the Forums and Bug Tracker, and give links to each other.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] si3eck684:
I asked some devs here as well and they don't seem to know either... Let us know here if anyone reponds to you from the CM forums with an answer :) thanks!
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] jamRwoo:
This continues to be an issue...Customize Menu still does nothing, the workaround previously mentions seems to have some effect, but half of the menu items don't show up at all, regardless of what I do.

It's driving me nuts that I can't access the "Manage Apps" or "Remove Catalog" options...I don't even know what they do but they sound useful.

Has any progress been made on this?
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] AGStumps8807:
I've tried using the workaround. It works, but not for the "Manage Apps". It is listed as enabled, but doesn't show. By far my most used menu item on stock, wish I could have it here.
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] Tone_Capone:
I also found that the customize dock bar options dont stick either. Not sure what the issue is
[Android Software/Hacking General [Developers Only]] all.black.nexus:
So glad I found this thread confirming that I'm not crazy. No matter what I do the 'Manage Apps' button doesn't show up. Everything else seems to work fine, but this one button doesn't show. This happened on both my stock unrooted Nexus One and on a CM7 Nexus one (both with ADW Launcher EX). Since its been awhile anyone has posted here, as anyone found a solution yet?

Thanks.
[HD2 General] fatmonk:
According to > this< article on The register, o2 UK's new 3G on 900MHz data service will work on the HTC desire...

As the hardware is 'pretty similar' to the Leo, can we expect it to work on that as well?

Is a radio upgrade likely to be required?

My network speed seems to have increased over the last couple of days, but that could very well just be a coincidence (or the fact that I have just hard reset and built my phone).

Cheers,

FM
[HD2 General] Rusty!:
The UK HD2 does indeed support 900Mhz UTMS, so if you're in the right area, you're good to go.
[HD2 General] samsamuel:
There was an update released on HTC several months ago to incorporate 900 into the stock o2 rom. As of the later roms it's built in.

However, you don't have to have an o2 rom or the update, the phone will negotiate which frequency to use by itself. The update was only so it would show the correct bands in phone settings.
[Xoom General] ritalin:
I had a thought while describing to a user how to use my wallpaper template.

Would anyone be willing to help edit the box that shows for cropping when setting a wallpaper? All that would really be needed to make it useful is to add in 4 additional lines inside of the cop box itself. Two horizontal and two vertical lines to serve as a guide for what is actually visible on the desktop.

If someone can point me in the right direction of what file to edit, Ill start working on it myself.
[Xoom General] dimitri407:
That is a wonderful idea. Would love for someone to actually fix the crop tool. Wish I could help but I would love to help test if you need it.
[Xoom General] ritalin:
150 some odd view and no one knows where what files need to be edited to modify the crop tool?

Some one just point me in the right direction and Ill work towards getting this done.
[Xoom General] bishop72:
that is a great idea! Maybe posting this in the android development section will get some feedback.

I updated to Paragon RC6.0a couple of weeks ago and since then Jefit isn't working properly.

The save and start timer option counts down but then asks me if I want to continue our start from set 1. Also the weight and reps don't move to the next exercise like they should.

I've tried getting a hold of the developers, but they said they can't reproduce out and stopped responding to my emails.

Had anyone else who is using Jefit had this issue, or have any ideas how I can troubleshoot the problem,i would really like to get this working correctly again.

I love the CM7 rom (I'm using an unthemed RC2 right now). However, I would like to know if there is a way to push the transparent dialer (contacts.apk) from shadowrom 2.2 to CM7. I am a noob when it comes to modding, and I apologize if this is covered somewhere else - nothing I came across made any sense to me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaclipse:
Im retarted wasnt paying attn, too sleepy.

I flashed the stock pit and tar from an epic onto the cappy and now it wont even turn on. Wont respond to anything.

Cant get it in to download. No life at all,Shes dead captain, kinda thing.

So it started out i was going to flash back to something other than trident/cm7.

Im bought the car dock and was going to use the kernal so the dock would actually work.

Well it was like any other flash ive done countless times.. Till odin preformed an illegal operation and then it dawned on me what i did.. It was still in download but the computer didn't recognize it any longer. So power off and try to go back to dl mode.. the phone wont respond at all. The power button does nothing.. Plugging it in does nothing..

Im pretty sure its dead, thoughts? other than the flamming for being a newb.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] indomikey:
Jig maybe? Or Jtag if you can find one.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaclipse:
Well with the jig it still has to be able to turn on.. I cant get it to even do that

So i dunno.. Thats why im drawing a blank. I would think it would at the very lest be able to get in to dl mode but nothing lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] flashman2002:
So you had the 3 button combo working before?

Have you

1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want

2 plug in the cable to your computer

3 Hold the vol up/down buttons

4 Plug in micro usb to phone?

If that doesn't work try the same process but do this.

1 Open Odin one click or the full version to flash what you want

2 Remove battery from phone

3 Plug phone to computer and hold vol up/down

4 Push battery in

Try those methods if you haven't already. If they don't work a jig might be your best option to get the phone to DL mode.

And a jig seems to work when you really think it wouldn't but try either of these methods first. I was stuck last week when my phone would not power or anything and the second method worked for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaclipse:
Yepper thats the method ive been using forever to get into dl mode.

And yea tried the the 2nd way too no dice..

It sounds dead sir. No idea what ODIN did, but if it's not responding to the power, charger, usb, combo-tricks, etc. It sounds like it's been perma-bricked :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aron1980:
I find it hard to believe since a bad flash killed my battery from 96%. But I'm not there so I can't say otherwise. The homemade jig thing from radioshack did not work for me though. I had to use one that was made by one of the members here. I had it plugged in, popped in the battery, and it fired up. Try a couple different combos and see if you get lucky. If I remember correctly it was like 3 tries for me
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ninjaclipse:
Yep, verified she's dead..

I hacked a usb cord, and teseted it on an Epic. worked great for the epic..

but the same method on the cappy and she's still dead no life..
