Should I exchange it?

Like alot of people said in other posts I am experiencing not being able to get into recovery mode via the 3 button combo.when it comes to rooting I was wondering how important it was. I'm new to android and unless I'm not mistaken, there are other methods to rooting.however I'm more concerned if something goes wrong, I want to make sure I can get things back to normal and not be bricked. Also, when the froyo update comes out I'm going to want to revert to stock. To people who are experienced at rooting, how necessary is it. If it is I will return it, but I'm worried the one I will get will have gps issues and so far mine has been lucky enough to have gps work almost flawlessly.

GPS won't be flawless for long, it is flakey, known everywhere. It works sometimes and dosen't others.

i personally dont know how necessary it is but, all i know is you can side load apps like roms so u can play the emulators they have such as sega genesis and what not. also you will be able to get the apps we normally cant get in the android market such as: super mario wallpaper, tethering, and many other 3rd party apps that are available that we cannot get. i dont know all of them. but comming from a jailbroken iphone jailbreaking the captivate is way more difficult. android is not as user friendly when it comes to the technical geek stuff. my captivate is a week old now
but i think you should wait on the froyo then wait to see if they come out with a one click root method for 2.2, which they probally will. i was close to rooting mine but it seems a little bothersome to convert it back to stock. so i would just hold off till froyo

Yea, I'm just thinking I should than exchange my cappy for one that will go into recovery mode via the button combo.I'm not very experienced in rooting but from what I understand if you can't you have more of a chance in bricking the phone. Not sure though.

I just replaced my cappy today. Went to the AT&T store and got it right away. The new one still can't boot into recovery mode via the button combo. So, its up to you. I say its worth a shot.

I didnt brick my phone while root. I accidentally pulled the battery when my phone was rebooting from removing the lag fix.
As of right now, there are many root methods provided and all of them work flawlessly (provided you follow directions).

Nope, not worth s shot, if you can't boot into recovery, how do you plan to apply the root, you need recovery mode for this. Unless you plan to use ADB everytime. Eventually your phone will brick without being able to use the key combo method. To me it isn't worth taking the chance.

get a new one. i just replaced mine for a new one. took me going to 3 different stores trying a total of 9 captivates to find one that the 3 buttons worked. you will NEED that if you get bricked. i would HIGHLY suggest not flashing anything unless you do it. if you have any other questions feel free to pm me, i can give you my speech i gave.
best of luck sir!

i stood there, told me the store manager i would like to keep trying the other phones. since a sim card is not needed for the phone to boot to recovery it will not void their "warrenty pre sim card"
like i said in above post 3 stores and 9 captivates

Yea I guess I should exchange it. Hopefully it won't take abunch of phones to get one that will, and if it does, hopefully they will let me test til I get it right. Anyone know if this is just something samsung just started on later date phones that were made to stop people from trying to root? I'm not sure how phone companies view phone rooting.

It's your phone, why should they care if you modified it? Void warranty maybe. Otherwise, why use open sourcing?

Yes, definitely exchange your phone. Also, I would test this function in store until you get one that works. From what I have read, it seems like there was a bunch of phone made during the week of 8-10-2010 thru about 8-14-2010 that had a hardware defect. There's another thread in the boards somewhere that people who can't use 3 button recovery post their build dates, and all so far fell into that build week.
I wouldn't even begin to mod my phone if I didn't have access to recovery or download mode by using buttons. If you rely on adb you are out of luck if you soft brick it.

Of course I'm going to try to test in store. How do I check the news manufacturing date?

Wow, that falls into the date range of the others I've seen.

So ive now returned that faulty cappy, and have one that will goto into recovery mode. Although, the gps definitely,seems as if it won't even get a fix. Oh well I guess if the problem is software ill wait for the update. Also it could be me, but it definitely seems more laggy then before, especially the back button.

VIDEO Touch panel problems

I am having issues with my panel.. at first I couldn't figure out why scrolling webpages seemed so laggy...then I discovered it is not properly "holding" on to a press...it cycles it... I am horrible at explaining it so I uploaded a video.

Mine was doing that, I couldn't move icons at all until I did a factory reset. Now it is a lot better but still a little flaky when moving icons. I think it is a software problem, maybe be improved with an update.

If you look at the touch test program it's registering hundreds of "presses" from me just holding down my finger.

I'd need to look at the video again to see if it caught I'm talking about. But, I would hold my finger down and the touch indicator under my finger would flash as if I was tapping the screen.

That's not good then.

it kinda reminds me of the multi-touch issue the Gnex had at launch. Or maybe even the grounding issue the EVO 4G had.

Having the same issue. Unrooted, returned to stock. I'm convinced it's a heat issue - it is fine when cold, and then goes wonky after a bit of use. Decided to return rather than exchange it - wait on my pre-order from J&R that is like a month out. Should be worked out by then.
Here's my video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_ZPDzKhQzSU&feature=g-upl
A touchscreen device where the touchscreen doesn't... recognize... touches... kinda sucks. :-(.
Google Guy said there were a lot of problems with the pre-orders, not for retailers, FYI. He was quite honest, refreshingly so, so I won't reveal his name . If it's any indication, it took me about 45 minutes on hold to get through just now!

Just looked at the video. EXACT same problem. Infuriating. Especially since it's such a neat device otherwise!!
(Although I still have no idea what I'd use it for...)

My girlfriends has this issue, but I fail to see how it can be a hardware issue since it seems to stop upon reboot at least (yet to try it just sleeping and waking it).
Will keep an eye on it and worst case RMA after a few days when their support is a bit quieter.

I think I may just return it and purchase a new one from somewhere locally where I can just go down the block for a replacement if need be.

Reboots aren't stressing the hardware too much, at least not the GPU. If the GPU is overheating and heating up the digitizer or something else, it can be cool enough to work when the reboot is complete. Just a theory...

Turns out putting it to sleep and waking it also fixes it. Really not sure now if it's hardware.

I did not have this issue start until yesterday and have been using my I/O Nexus since the event.. I feel like its something to do with flashing Roms that somehow changes the way the digitizer responds to touch.. Maybe a calibration issue of some sort.. Just an idea.

New MIUI User with Questions

Just installed MIUI-20120608 on my Bionic, switching from GummyNex 1.2. I like it so far but I THINK I need a little schooling on how to set it up.
First, the reason I switched in case it matters, I loved GummyNex but the video recorder never worked, I guess it is an option that they never got to work from what I read, I can't seem to get it to work on the MIUI rom either although I want to believe it will since it seems to recognize it has a video recorder.
Secondly, I am having some issues getting the data to work, I saw online that there are some steps to go through to get it to work (go to phone info>switch to GSM only; go to setting>mobile networks>CMDA/LTE....) which works but everytime my phone reboots I have to repeat the process. There has to be a way to set it up once and thats it.
Thirdly, there are a LOT of flexibility with this ROM, AWESOME. But I don't know where to start, what all the options mean to me. Instead of trial and error I am hoping some of the experienced users could share some of the best "setups" with me?
Thanks guys!

.... Miui? Where did you find that rom? Every Dev related to Miui stopped working on that ROM sadly which means its out of date now. Unless I'm out of the loop on Miui LOL.

The (very-almost-nearly) theft proof Nexus 4

I'm not sure if a mod like this exists already but a couple of days ago I realised that if the power button were disabled entirely on the lock screen and the user installed phone tracking software like lockout then it would be very difficult to steal.
Most thieves turn the phone off and remove the battery immediately once they have the phone so it renders the tracking software useless but if you couldn't long press the power button to shut down, get to the context menu to access shutdown/reboot or remove the battery then in theory the only way to disable it would be to have the sim-access pin on you to take the sim card out.
Is anyone interested in implementing this or has anyone done this already?

The only issue I see with this is if your phone freezes.

True... do you know if it would be possible to have an alternate way of turning the phone off that wouldn't be effected by a crash?
Perhaps some sort of button combination instead of long pressing power.

Alternatively just let the battery run out I suppose...

All someone has to do is put the device into fast boot mode and wipe userdata. Easy if you have a little know how.

Put a gps tag in it, separate of hardware/software. That's the only way to track it. Otherwise there's always a way to get in if you have physical access to the device.

Could you put it into fast boot if you're stuck on the lockscreen with the power button disabled though?
Also, highly doubt the average thief would have the know how.

Still, a small mod like this would make it all the much harder to steal and get away with.

Even if the power button were disabled in software, you could still long press the button to force a power off. As far as I know, this is a hardware failsafe feature.

You are correct. There is a microchip that disconnects power to the circuit when the power button is held. This mod would have to bypass that microchip and wouldn't be worth it.

Does it really matter if the phone is "lost" or "stolen"? Either way, you don't have it and someone else does.

Exactly! This wouldn't make it theft proof. Doesn't stop the thief taking it out of your pocket.
As mentioned there are a number of apps that can track the phone, remote wipe etc etc.
Luckily I have never lost a phone or had it stolen. My main and really only concern would be people having access to the pictures of my children. As the nexus 4 doesn't have an SD card slot these are only stored on the phone. So if I remote wipe they won't have access to them. Plus as the storage connects to the PC as MTP most public data recovery tools won't work which is another safety net. Who would have though a phone with no SD slot would be the better option

Yea the photon turned into a joke sadly. But the good thing about the Optimus G and G2.. They may be behind on updates but both are updated by great devs with the latest version as quick as any other device with all features working nearly 100%. The G2 already has 4.4 internationally and it also helps that the N5 is pretty much the same hardware kind of like the atrix and photon.

Well, before I could do any sort of collaboration, I have to get the source I've got building upped. It's really screwey how they have this thing set up....took 3 different tries to get the right files to actually repo sync. Their instructions seem quite incomplete in some areas, and are totally GONE in others (like the links to getting VoiceCall and HiFi audio working...links are page not found).
Once I get it synced remotely, I'll be more than happy to have some others pitch in. I have a feeling it's going to take a few of us to do it any way.
But for now...if anyone knows how to write UCM mixer files for alsa, I'd love to have some pointers. Their explanation is nearly NIL...LOL

Seeing this put a really big smile on my face

@Th3Bill

For now, I'm going to keep it here until I get it working a bit more...once I get it fixed a little more and sync my source, I'll be moving to Development....just wanted to put it up that there's something new cooking
