Hello

[Mark20]

A long time embedded software developer who's had a Samsung Captivate for just over a year now. Have wanted to learn to develop for it but one thing or another gets in the way. My son with the other mobile OS has challenged me to display the battery life remaining as a percentage like his does. So that's the next thing after I root mine.

Hello Mark! Welcome to AF!!
Glad to see you are interested in rooting your device and here is a link to your device's root forum to help you out

Thanks!

Followed the instructions here http://androidforums.com/captivate-...ng-adding-cwm-recovery-2-3-5-corn-kernel.html when Super One Click & update.zip didn't work for me. Now to really start doing some things with the phone and learn some new stuff.

A day without learning something new is a wasted day in my book.

No problem! I am always learning stuff about my phone too! It's so addicting ain't it?

Being the principal engineer means I usally have at least 3 projects at any one time. Couple that with life unfortunately leaves me with not too much free time to just play with tech. I have been trying to find a project to incorporate the Android OS or an Android device into a project at work to give me a good reason to learn development on it and get paid to do so

Now to root a Motorola Xoom, but I'll probably do that later.

Where in the control panel do you set a signature? I don't see it but have been accused of looking with my eyes closed

 

[Mikestony]

Look on the left side in the green bar for "User CP"..click on that and then look for "Edit Signature"

Not there, I even used the browser search to find it on the page.

Limitation of not enough posts?

Edit:
The link to site rules in Rush's post answered my question.

Signatures: Until further notice, signature privileges have been removed for those with less than 25 posts. This is to combat the growing signature-spamming trend.

Been away for a week or so and busy at work. But my daughter just got a HTC One X and my wife got a Motorola Atrix HD. This is my wife's first really smart device (Kindle doesn't count). She's completely amazed we can share our crazy calendars now. Now if my son had only seen the light and not gotten an iPhone.

Did not have time to play with the HTC before my daughter went back to school but I see a lot of similarities between the Zoom tablet and Atrix.
