my rooted htc hero with the stock sprint rom doesnt recognize that its plugged into my computer. when i go to settings>about phone>battery , it say that its charging through ac. now i cant figure out how to unroot. anyone have any ideas ?
You probably have it set to charge only when plugged into a pc.

You probably somehow set the default to "charge only". Clear your defaults, and when you plug it in, it SHOULD recognize and pull up a menu. If that doesnt work, enable USB debugining and reboot.

I am currently having the same issue. I am running Froyo 2.2 Cmd 6 extreme Blue Oct 4 release. I am unable to do anything but charge my hero when I connect to my computer. I have tried using multiple usb cords including the cable provided by htc, as some post have recomended, and tried connecting to my Windows Xp, Vista and Ubuntu 10.10 system but have found no success. I've tried doing a data wipe in the recovery screen as well as messing with the various setting inside Android, debugging mode etc. I am unable to go back to stock 2.1 because I am unable to connect to my computer and use the official updater. Please help I don't have any idea were to go from here.

Hey, I just bought a Samsung Captivate from Rogers. I am really new to this phone and the os Android. I have never used Android before, so I have no clue how it really works. May someone please guide me? what is the first thing I should test for to see it is working perfectly fine? what are some awesome apps on the Android? and whats all this froyo, custom roms? etc for? please help and thank you!
ps: I came from a blackberry, I was wondering how can I transfer my contacts from the BB to the Captivate? and would the BB charger be sufficient for the Captivate? I noticed they both used the same port.

Welcome to the forums. Glad you got yourself a Captivate. It's a great phone.
To test if everything is working perfectly fine, turn it on and use it. Make phone calls, text people, use the camera, go outside for a walk with Google Maps with your gps on. Use the phone like you normally would. If it doesn't explode or melt in your hands, it works just like it should.
As for your contacts, there are a few ways. If you synced your BB with your computer, you should be able to export your contacts to a .csv file and copy that onto the phone and import them in the contacts app. I know I had AT&T copy my contacts from phone to phone when I got my Captivate. You could also try saving all your contacts to your SIM card and then put it back in your Captivate and import them that way.
Your BB charger should work just fine. The Captivate charges at 500ma or 700ma. As long as your BB charger has one of those outputs, it should be just fine.
Sorry for jumping in the middle as I try now to create a new thread for something similar.
I am a new Rogers Captivate owner as well and I am having a connection issue between my PC and the Cap.
I used the SamSung Kies I got off SamSungApp.com by selecting the UK region thingy and installed Canada as the region. Installation went fine and I rebooted my PC after it went through.
Plugged in the phone for the first time, Windows attempted to install the driver but no success. FYI I am running Windows 7 64bit and wonder if there is still a communication issue between Windows 7 and the Captivate? Am I doing anything wrong? What can I do to fix this issue?

Kies does not install the drivers for phone. Go to the Samsung website and go to the support page for your phone and download the drivers. Install them before you plug your phone into your computer again.

Hi everyone, sorry if this sort of question has been asked before but it's hard to search as UK is too small of a word to find any key threads.
I was considering buying a Nook Color and getting it over to the UK because of the hard work everyone has done in order to root it and basically turn it into a tablet. I know that you cannot sign up and use the Barnes And Noble store and such if you're outside America but you can still register the device.
The main issue I believe that might stand in the way is charging. I read that the device cannot be charged via a computer and can only be done by plug socket. Just wondering if that would cause issues in the UK as I would imagine the device is set to work with US voltage and that UK voltage may cause issues? The obvious way to do it is a basic travel type plug but would it in the long run end up causing more problems or does everyone think it would ok.
I've been searching to try find mentions of people in the UK with the device but I'm struggling and really if there is no other true issues that anyone can mention, I would likely go ahead with it.
Thanks for your help
I have one in the UK, the charger is happy with the voltage and works with just a travel adpater plug. I believe it will also trickle charge via USB, but the mains charger is much better.
The registration also works fine, I put in a real credit card number and made up US address and it was happy. The only issue is the time-zone, which you need to set after registration in the settings menu, where you can tick 'show all time zones' and get good old GMT...
Thanks for your reply danfreak. Good to know it works well. Now to continue my search for the best price to get it for.
Well I was very excited this Sunday as i received my HDMI cable and was looking forward to watching the NFL red zone as I'm a verzion customer and the NFL network is free part of my plan. So Sunday came and i plugged Mr. Bionic into my SAMSUNG 52" LCD TV and setup for MINOR mode all of the ICONS came up and low and behold when i went to the NFL Network and selected RED zone or play a VIDEO on the NFL network a nasty little message came up with unable to open or display video. When i unplugged it from the HDMI everything would work fine. Anyone come across this and have a fix for this? Is there a setting on the phone to change? I looked under setting and came across nothing that would help.
If your rooted and have the webtop without dock mod applied, you may be able to do it through webtop mode. IDK if it works, but it's worth a shot. if not, you at least have webtop mode enabled now.
It's part of the drm protection, they purposely disable this feature

there is an app on the market called xternal display. click on the app first and then nfl moble and it will work
I say to you, search the forums before posting here. There have already been 2 threads previously full of pissed off and upset Bionic owners myself included who bought the hdmi cables thinking they could watch red zone on their tv's. This is dreadfully not the case and when Verizon took away the red zone for bionic users for a day I almost lost my **** with them.
As far as I know the xternal display application only worked on the Droid X and not for the Bionic. If we can get a report from a Bionic user who has actually done this successfully than that would be a different story.

Good evening all,
Has anybody in the UK had success in connecting their Chromecast to A SkyHub? I have tried several times, but I cannot connect it, I have had to use my old trusted Belkin to do this...
Thanks
Matt
Hey Matt, got one of these myself a few days ago. Managed to get it connected and set up via my Sky Hub (newish white one), but then couldn't get anything to cast properly and it kept freezing up and becoming unresponsive. Have sent it back as faulty and got a replacement on the way, so will see if it was just the unit.
What problems did you have and did you ever manage to resolve them?
Chris.
All working fine here with 2 chromecasts, one UK and the other US. Black Sky hub, whcih is the newest router
You might to ask this person

At least they had it working at some point...
Got mine working the other day but had problems.
I couldn't activate it via a Win7 machine, kept getting an error saying it was unable to find the chromecast online. The only way I could set it up was to use an app on my phone. Now that it's setup everything seems to be working ok.
White Sky hub approx 9 months old.
