So after seeing the price point of the Inspire 4G and craving some nice HTC build quality, I upgraded to the Inspire for a total of $66. The Captivate was a fantastic introduction into the Android world, but it's time to move on...
In preparation for selling it, how can I totally wipe it, internal SD and all? I don't want any of my data left over on it, most of which stays behind after factory restore. Any tips how to be extra safe?
Thanks

Surprisingly, I have been hearing that a lot from people that went and got an Inspire or Atrix...

Honestly, as of now, I can't see myself wanting to switch. The only thing I liked more about the Cappy was the camera and its speaker audio quality. Other than that, I'm already in love with the Inspire. For once, I'm actually happy with the phone stock. I found myself doing a lot of mods to my Cappy to get it to feel "right'. Maybe you'll be right, as I plan to keep it around for a week or two, but I can't foresee that happening.
No random shut downs, my alarm goes off in the morning, I get a 60ft GPS lock INSIDE my bedroom within 15 seconds max, battery life is just as good if not better, love the 4.3 inch screen, and digging the HTC build quality. Happy camper here.
So what are your greatest/wtf/funny/G.O.A.T Moments with OB
Starting with me(WTF MOMENT)
My power button got killed so i could wake the phone or turn off the display..so to keep the phone awake i used a ebook reader with night mode in lowest brightness and to wake the phone i used the power cable... and to power on i used the power cable method(plugging and suddenly removing the cable) LOL that was the most frustating week of my life

My WTF moment was when I bought this phone and months after, I heard: "No updates for Optimus Black", and I said: "FFFFFFFUUUUUUU LG"
there was once i was having fun with my friends when they started doing some really funny stuff.
i took out my OB to film it down, but when i played the recording back i noticed that there was freezes in between the video.
i hated my phone ever since. tried diferent roms and the problem persists, could be with my SD card though. but there's no way im swapping out my 32gb class 4 for another one.
Mine was inexperience flashing my under guarantee ob i was so afraid most amazing is when my gf sawn her pic in nova display wid crispy clearity

Greatest moment ? Probably when my screen crashed :banghead:

I bricked my ob two days after I got it and had no windows... (I use Debian). So I waited a week for a friend to come back. My first smartphone ever... bricked in two days...
Then I was reading about "gorilla glass", my kitty came and - mimetism, I think - decided to tap the screen and made a scratch.
It fell three times the same day... only few little scratches that proved my friends their Iphones were made like cars: made to break as soon as possible...
And, the best, when I compared screen size and phone weight to my friends' Iphone. There was an advertisment sayin' "when you have an Iphone, you have blahblah"... and I was jokin' "you have a real tiny screen..." lol.
And last, when my friend adked me to make a wifi point for him to use his Ipad in the train. I was like: "so... how's android?
And the fun I got using stuff in here. Gorgious. Thank y'all.

My greatest moment is when i use my p970 to actually make a call (or receive one). I know its not as fancy as you kids with your "bricking" and "repairing" or "myspacing" but im ok with that :silly:
But Seriously, nothing happend
When I realized how to install the last firmware (V20N at that time) on my brand (damn TIM) OB.
Jump from V1.0a (or something similar, I don't remember) to V20N was a great thing..
Oh, all this thanks to LGExtract and SmartFlashTool.

pretty much the same about LGOB vs Iphone XD...
like a month after I got my OB, just root it and flash cm7 like a year ago so it was way unstable, so some friends and I were at a concert and I was like your phone can't do this and so on... start recording a video while the best song playing, phone self-rebooting... priceless XD
Finding out I can improve the performance/behavior/interface by finding xda, before buying the phone (my first droid), therefore deciding I shall buy it. That Froyo look sure is fugly.
well i always see my exam result in my phone....... don't know why but i always pass all the exams when ever i see through my ob its the best and the luckiest phone ever
When I showed my OB in a club and it got me laid......
just sayin....
I am no ordinary greenhorn, in fact, to be completely honest this is the first smart phone I have ever owned. Before this love affair began with my thrill 3D, I was partial to the cheap flip phones. So without further ado; I rooted her bricked her first by checkin out system tuner and seeing what would happen if I turned up a thing or two. When i woke in the morning jungle font stopped unexpectedly, so i pressed force close, it came back faster than i could pull my thumb away, after about a dozen or so times w/ the same result, I did what any sensible idiot comparable to uneducated stone would do and pulled the battery. She rebooted with no font. Factory reset, root again recover my beloved apps and data and then (again what any sensible idiot would and opened system tuner. in my defense, however i was only moving system files to sd not uninstalling them. 'ol thrill did not like that one bit and with a sudden burst of rage-full, maniacal, protest force closed files of all types, one super quickly right after another. it was a domino effect sort of thing. anyway, i tried the lg flash package steps several times to no avail, now it seems overwhelming. tomorrow i am dive right in to xda university deal i heard about, but in the mean time any help in getting my deeply missed thrill back on line would be appreciated so much more than most of you could imagine. i have a lot on plate and this couldn't have been a worse time for me kill my life line.

Actually my friend, I'm in my late thirties with two little boys. I'm a single dad, with zero presence from their biological co-founder. I'm a carpenter by trade, hence the cheap flip phones in the past. In addition to work and kids, I did start going to college full time (I'm in my second semester) for child psychology in order to better understand the difference between my youngest (4) who is developing typically and my oldest (7) who is autistic. In the middle of wrestling an already obese schedule, I am smack dab in the middle of fighting with the school district because they are (in my opinion based on my careful observation) stuck in the process of teaching autistic kids how to be more autistic rather than how to be "human" like most of the rest of us. To recover my boy from his public-school-bootloop seems to be as equally perplexing as my phone. A seventh grade education over twenty years ago only goes so far. So there it is, while I love to write, I am far from a frat boy, where they get laid in bed, I only lay in bed Embarrassing really, but my sacrifice is/will be the root of all of my boys smiles. I don't have the money nor the desire to buy a new phone. I love my thrill! It is imperative that I get it back online ASAP. Unfortunately often times a picture in crayon is what I need when it comes to some things. If you guys can't or won't help me get it going I figure it out, I always do. But no matter what, I will have my thrill. P.S. Mad props for all you guy that have put the effort into XDA University and the slang terms thread, I admire people who give up their time and energy just for the sake of sharing what they know, for us "noobs" that kind of generosity is the only way learn about such alien concepts and processes as these. Like I said "I'm no ordinary greenhorn" Thanks again in advance, time is ticking and I'm not using a pay phone and refuse to get a flipper! Gotta run, good day all!!!!!!

I got a really nice one of a kind end grain cutting board i just finished up in shop i also just finished two Tangram puzzle sets hand made out of some beautifull exotic hardwood for any one interested in helping me make sense of this proccess of recovering from a bootloop. I'm not gonna go away, even if I have to figure out some other means.

I followed the instructions from an optimums thread by dark lestat, i tried four times. but absolutely nothing happened. Norton was a problem, fixed that. then found out what a com port was, let me ask anyway, that refers to the USB port right, and not communication port like maybe through a my firewall? i haven't tried a different USB cable yet cause i just found out about it tonite while i was looking for some answers. do i do anything with the kidz file? i would rather have a different ROM, what is the recovery manager for? and one more clarification, how do I know that it is working at the last step when i put the bat back in and connect the USB to my lap top? will it vibrate or screen flash or something. I am going to try again tomorrow. i learned a lot i didn't know today from xda u, so I don't feel so lost. I can build a house ,but droid recovery is a whole ball game! Thanks again Bigtech.
another Q
Does it matter which kdz file I choose, if so Which one should I use? I ended up with the official gingerbread cause it was the only link that worked.
use either v30b kdz of v28b kdz. they're both ics, which is, i believe much better than gingerbread
Any word if they got rid of the ghost call problem? And I am very surprised that ATT still cares about this phone considering they discontinued it like 5 months after they started to sell it

Hate the game Dog, not the playa:laugh: the xda new-membe- intro video made me do it! It said that you old pros are "lawn geezers" and we are the kids runnin across your front yard. I was simply getting into charector:} nah just kiddin, i did over do it a bit though huh won't happen again either cause you all are much more helpful when your not pissed.
OK I have not read your other posts. Install Smartflash instead and install the 2 drivers. Then flash XBSA's pretty rooted ROM with Smartflash.
Download XBSA's V7.2 ROM and flash it from recovery.

I just noticed a bug, not sure if others have as well. When my phone is charging the notification led's do not work, it stays solid amber. Has anyone else seen this?
It was like that on the M7 also
Really, that is not good. Did anyone make a mod to change that?
Not that I know of.
That's really going to bug me
It's like that on my LTE.
HTC Jewel
HBOOT 2.10 S-OFF (rumrunner)
Android 4.3 Sense 5.5 V3
It's been like that on every phone I've had.
It's been a couple years since I had an HTC, the gs3 light flashed even when charging so I got used to that.

@metalfan78, you sound like your having a rough time adjusting. I hope that you don't turn to the S5 because of that. Granted, I would still be able to utilize your rom on my wife's S5 when that time comes, but that's not the point.
No, I'm gonna stick with the m8, I'm just asking questions about this stuff to see how things work. There are a few things I got used to though. Loving the m8 so far though.

Wish more people would ask questions before breaking their sh**. lol
I learned long ago to read, read, read, read some more, then ask questions, lol.
Some of these things I keep asking about sound fun to dig for and mod.
This has been the LED behavior for a few years now on HTC devices. On the M7, you could use our custom kernel to give you a feature called button blink... Which flashed the cap buttonns if your phone was charging so you'd know if you got a notification. Sadly, that isn't an option we can do for the M8. Hopefully someone can do a kernel mod to change the charging led behavior.
Yea, that would be cool.
I have been digging around the web for answers to this, because it is really driving me nuts. My led is really dim, and I really hate not being notified while the phone is charging. I have no idea where to look though. I posted another thread asking for some guidance because I would really love to change this. It seems like a minor thing, but it is something that HTC should fix in my opinion.

The last time I checked, it is a kernel issue. ThickLizard was working on getting this working even with a blue LED color.
That's good to hear. It seems so minor, but it makes me want to go to a different phone, but if it gets fixed I would be a happy camper.

You could try a different Rom? Viper Rom allows the notification light to flash while charging, the screen to turn on, the rear led camera lights to flash, etc.
Hi all!
My HTC One packed up this weekend. It's the same problem as this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2280792
It happened on Friday night, I'm unsure if it ran out of battery or not - but I realised it was broken after I woke up in an alleyway drunk - it was raining but the phone wasn't wet.
However, none of the solutions in that thread have worked. The phone is on, and still receiving messages etc - I can take screengrabs and see them come into my Dropbox, everything looks fine on the home screen. I just can't get it to actually display. Whenever I try and restart it I get the flashing soft keys, it restarts makes all the noises and stuff but just won't display
The software is all the default stuff with the latest update of Android installed last week at some point.
Any help I'd love you for - I dropped my last one in the Thames and I don't wanna lose another!

Sounds like a dead LCD to me. Maybe in your inebriated [emoji481] state you fell and it took a heavy knock. Or you rolled on it while sleeping and fractured the LCD.
If there's any warranty on the device you can try your luck with that. Just say you pulled it out of your pocket and that's how it was ( no need to mention the drunk in the ally bit [emoji12] ) Maybe you'll get a free repair.

If you've tried rebooting it under a bright light, and all the software is still stock. There's not much else it can be.
Incompatible kernels can cause a similar issue but that's only for modified devices.
