i recently tried flashing a kernel and now the phone is stuck in a bootloop
now usually 3 button recovery would do the trick BUT
> i guess i've lost 3 button combo since they don't work anymore
so i decided i'd make a jig with the 300k ohm resistor
however, most of the how-tos say "Don't touch any button!" so i was wondering if the jig would work on my phone (since it behaves like the power is always pressed i.e. the phone boots as soon as you put the battery)
(and i have neither the skill or the balls to try the unbrickable mod)
QUESTION/ DOUBT : does the jig work on phones with power button issues
Phone: AT&T captivate
ROM : cm10 JB 4.1
Have u tried getting to download mode with the volume buttons? That method doesn't use the power button.

yes i have ... ...
... unless i'm missing something, isn't it press them for like 5 seconds and then let go of volume up ...
Pull the battery then put the jig in first then put the battery back in

Sorry got a little ahead of myself there the other day someone else had the problem with sticking power button and I was curious about it so I have two captivates one for backup and I took one and took the battery out and plugged it into the computer with the usb cable and then held all 3 buttons and put the battery back in and it booted to download mode for me.

Well i finally picked up a d950. So far ive rooted and updated to 4.4.2. Ive done some searching for other roms,mods, or kernels for it and not sure what im actually able do with this phone. Any recommendations on roms or anything for it? Thanks a lot
There... Kind of isn't any at the moment. Not really. I'm hoping now that Bump is out and works with the Flex and that we have a working recovery again for the latest update things will start to pick up.

Try wiping finger across the proximity sensor and tap again. If that does bot work press firmly across of flex near proximity sensor and if that works it means the sensor is sliding back in the housing is what was happening to my flex 950

Haven't seen the minimized one handed mode used in videos yet, anyone know if it's still there on the Note 5? Also, does the triple click on the home button activate the one handed mode like on the Edge+
The one handed mode is still there. I tried double click and it activated the Camera. I will research a bit more.

I saw a video (I don't have mine yet) that said a triple-click on the home button does it.
I tried triple click and it didn't work.

Triple click in rapid succession and it will give you one handed mode. It has to be rapid. If not, nothing will happen or you will get camera mode.

It needs to be activated in the settings before the triple click will work. Its under settings>display.
Is there a way to resize (enlarge) one handed mode window?
My tp was left uncharged for about a week and now I've got the dreaded white battery. I've tried everything. I cant get my tp to boot into download mode. It stays like that til it does, I plug it and try every button combo trying to boot back and just get white battery. Any feedback welcome. I'll pay $25 in amazon credit for something if someone wants to personally fix it. It's not worth it but I love my little touchpad.

This should fix it unless you can get to the USB symbol. Try power+home+volume up for 30 seconds.

What about a touchpad thats been dead for a year? I gave it to my daugter in law after i had updated to android with webos. I have two other touchpads i saved from death and they are doing well. I would like to resurrect the third one for my wife. I've got it on the touch stone with a charger plugged in also. So far nothing.

Yeah tpdebrick is what you need. That is probably qdl mode. Be sure to follow the instructions. I think there is some videos on YouTube.

I'm not doing something right in the terminal window. I have Ubuntu running on an external hard drive and TPDebrick in the download folder. I'm not typing the commands correctly or something. It's been a few days since I mesed with it. I'll try to get a screen shot to show what is going on.

I bought 3 touchpads several years ago. I was able to get 2 into usb mode and install android. This one had android and webOS and my daughter in law let it go dead. So I have a couple of options.....keep trying tpdebrick, buy a battery off amazon or just keep it for parts.

I use my Note 9 for ScummVM and Point and Click Adventure Games.
I used to have a Note 2 and it would only register a Click when the S Pen touched the Screen (with an optional right click on the S Pen Button) and i loved that.
The Note 9 registers clicks from the S Pen long before it ever touches the screen and thats really annoying for those games.
Can that somehow be changed?
You can turn off that. I think it was called hover something. Let me check

Wait a min.. it's registering a click without you touching the screen.... hmmm
First try turning off Air view in SPen settings
If not then try turning sensitivity down...
Or check to see how the button click is set to do.
Basically check the settings ...

I turned off just about everything i could get my hands on in the s-pen settings.
It still registers about 2 or 3cm before i touch the screen.
EDIT: I checked. Air view is off. Like i said, everything is off.
Okay then I am leaning towards the pen itself... First try changing tips. You should have some extra. If not then just take the tip out & reseat it. Make sure you don't push it back in too much.
If this doesn't work then look into getting another Spen.

Long story short the pen maybe stuck. Maybe from pushing too hard on it as you use it. Or as you replaced the tip.
