Replace it with Galaxy S II !!!
[Captivate General] abenn26:
Any news on the infuse? I'm pretty sure that's what you want to replace your captivate with...CAPTIVATE 2!!!!!!....................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate General] MurphyZombie:
If I do get a new phone anytime soon it'll probably be the Galaxy S II.
[Captivate General] tercenary:
The infuse looks nice, but i still have to go with the Galaxy S II. Why settle for one 1.2GHz processor when you can have 2?! lol!
[Captivate General] hmodel88:
is the Galaxy S II going to be at at&t or where do we buy it from?

[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RjsShadows:
I have my Epic running SyndicateROM 1.0.2. Can anyone tell me if its a normal problem of the rom to mess up my mic? People say I sound faraway or like I'm whispering and in reality I'm almost yelling. I need to know if its my rom or if I should switch out the phone for a new one I've only had it a week and have 30 days to switch to a newer one or should I just get an Evo?
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdelano:
Probably best to use the EB13 Extended tar, odin it to your phone (do a nand backup first).

Then check out how it sounds.

It sounds like a hardware issue really; but you could double check that way.

If it is; you'll want to odin a stock tar to bring it to sprint for a replacement. They won't fix or replace it with a custom ROM on it.

Good luck
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchocho:
I would try opening up the voodoo control application and check settings. There is a mic profile in there you can change. See if that makes any difference switching back and forth between profiles. Since 1.0.2 includes the voodoo sound in the kernel it seems that maybe something just got messed up with that. If that doesn't work odin back to stock as last person said to check that it's not a hardware problem. If it's better after odin then go back to ACS again and see if it's fixed, maybe just a bad flash as my mic actually seemed to be better after going from stock to ACS.

I personally wouldn't recommend switching to evo, its a slower phone, and the screen while slightly bigger isn't nearly as nice, plus even if you use virtual kb a lot its still nice to have the option of the physical.

Wow, thank you all for your help, today my actually worked all day so that was a surprise. I wish I could get the Evo 3D, haha. I love the Epic but the 3D evo just looks amazing.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RjsShadows:
Do you think I could get the Nexus S? You think it'd be a good trade? I heard it wasn't as good as the Epic but I wouldn't know.
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RjsShadows:
Thank you :)
[Epic 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamchocho:
Personally the keyboard in the epic is more important to me than the additions nexus S would give.

Differences:

Nexus S

+ Has NFC and Gingerbread.

+ Thinner

- No microSD slot

- No hardware KB

Epic

+ Hardware KB

+ microSD slot

- only (officially) on 2.2 - Though this is likely to change soon w/ CM7, and hopefully once Nexus S is released it will make software updates for our Epic easier.

- No NFC (I couldn't care less)

As far as I'm concerned the only down side of the Epic vs Nexus is software which can be fixed by our great devs here, and hopefully once the Nexus S 4G source drops there no longer is a software gap.

I've tried multiple custom roms as well as ODIN back to stock and it takes forever to download anything because it so unstable with the H connection. Constantly flips back and forth on both darky 9.4 and serendipity. any troubleshooting help?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ddangerdess:
It's doing the same with me :( running Apex 5.1. I think it could just be the network but I really don't know.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluemoon1221:
I think it has to do with att not having good coverage of the area you live.

I have used both roms you mentioned and had no problem with hspa.

If you are bouncing back and forth your best best is to disable H and stay on 3g, as it doesnt seem that ATT has good signal for hspa in your area

Anyone have any ideas? Does the fact that I'm on the 850 mhz bands have anything to do with it?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
it was answered above by zelendel....

let me say it better for you, being from the southern states...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contradude:
I understand what you are saying, but where I'm testing this at is at areas that at&t has overbuilt the network because of the number of people on it. I'm getting 5 bars of signal strength when I'm just standing there at 2am when I'm probably the only person on the tower. I guess I'll wait a while and see what happens. I've forced hspda off for the moment so that I can download things and surf the internet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] majinzen:
What modem are you using? I live in Orlando also and I've found jl2 works best (for me) on a i9000 Rom. Att just has crappy coverage in quite a few areas here too. I would mess around with the modem though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TRusselo:
yeah i get 4 bars of cell data too cell and 3g data, that doesnt mean you have good hspa signal or the "over built network" in your area is hspa..

same thing was happening to me so i disabled hspa... wow is it slow now. think i might prefer the switching back and fourth... has anyone ever had a solid H?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] txbera:
My HSDPA works decently here in Orlando. Mainly use it downtown, in and around the Orlando Regional Med Center, specifically Winnie Palmer.

I have noticed it does drop into 3G for calls though.

Edit: I am using Cognition 4.1.1 with stock KB1
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] contradude:
quick update: switched the device over to darky rom 10 rc6 and the modem is acting somewhat normal now that I'm on gingerbread. it only freaks out now when uploading. I saw over on the inspire side that this is usually caused by bad APN settings. the captivate only has the normal one apn instead of the two that the 4g phones seem to have. any way to define one apn as everything but internet and another as hspda data?

I also sent the other captivate in for warranty exchange just to make sure it wasn't going bad. it behaved the same under froyo as the other one did, the improvement only happened after gingerbread

MOD Edit: This may not be compatible with UK models and may result in a brick. Proceed with caution!

Once this issue has been resolved, PM me (willverduzco) and I will remove this warning.

I am posting this for jwtyler. All questions, comments, and thanks should be directed to him.

UPDATE: This tool is temporarily unavailable. It will be back as soon as jwtyler has time to incorporate a warning about the EU issues and apply a few fixes.

Xoom One Click by Jason Tyler

This is one of my first contributions to the community although I have read and used XDA for years.

If you want to know if you can trust me or my tools check out my upcoming Android App Inventor book on Amazon from John Wiley and Sons.

You can also check my heavy involvement over at the Google App Inventor support forums where I am a community liaison and PowerUser. Hal Abelson will vouch for me. (Heh Heh, Hal will kill me. )

This is an all in one package for Unlock, Root and UnRoot and ReLock of the Xoom MZ600.

It is a GUI front end for the adb commands that are needed.

To use this tool:

1. You MUST have your tablet in Debug mode.

2. You DO NOT have to download the SDK or any images.

3. YOU MUST ACCEPT ALL THE USUAL RISK.

Like ALL rooting there is a risk of bricking your device. It’s a small risk but a risk you need to be aware of.

You WILL void your warranty using this tool.

This tool is easy. I have rooted unrooted and rerooted my Xoom umpteen times today testing it.

NOTE:

The WIFI version tools will only work for unlocking and rooting. I do not have the images for the back to stock on the Wifi.

There are two versions of this tool:

1. Root AND Unroot and back to stock. This one is large because of the stock system.img clocking in at 200+mb

2. The NO UNROOT version. This is lots smaller. It is only about 19mb. You can NOT UNROOT with this tool. (Well, you can unroot but not relock. )

Instructions:

1. Unzip the tool and all of the folders and files into a directory. Preferably a folder on a root drive. (i.e. c:\xoom )

2. Run the Xoom One Click EXE tool and follow the instructions. Read the prompts carefully.

WARNING: WIFI Root is untested as I do not have a Wifi. Let me know how it works. Same process as 3G I just cant test it.

I will be taking this utility down until it encompasses the newest fixes and adequately warns about the EU issue.

I would have taken this down sooner except I was taking a disconnected writing /teaching break and didnt see the issues.

Works great on the wifi model! How do you flash the custom rom? tried to said looking for device but wouldn't go any further.
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
Not sure it worked.

I followed all the steps but i do not see Super User in the app drawer. Should i re-do the steps?
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
Have you tested in terminal?
[Xoom Android Development] Gwartan:
I'm a noob to rooting. haven't done it since my htc wizard. how would i check in terminal?

ok search is my friend. i downloaded a terminal emulator from the market. i enter su and get su:Permision Denied

and I guess I should mention I am trying this on a WiFi only Xoom.
[Xoom Android Development] xguntherc:
Thanks Jason for making this. I'll wait for you to add in the HRI66 update first. Gotta have that flash 10.2

One question, does this wipe the device when used? I'd like to root without loosing all my data and game saves. Is this possible yet for this?
[Xoom Android Development] Steady Hawkin:
OK well your not rooted then. Unfortunately I won't be much help due to the fact I rooted via adb.

Hey dude thanks for trying the tool. I am working on updating the tool and when I get the new version posted I will work with you on getting it to work. Thanks for your patience.

I'm just a local electrician but Ive been fascinated by all the work everyone does in here. So I learn things by experimenting I had a hard time with the SDK install and trying to Root my wifi only i just dont have the time to mess around for 4 hrs trying to figure it out but I got lucky with this One Click Root!

Download the updated Tiamat Xoom 1.1.6 BOTH MODELS WORK and unzip them. Then download the One Click Root flies unzip them. Now open the Tiamat 1.0 file in One Click then Delete the flies in there. Go to the 1.1.6 flies and copy them all not folders but files and images then paste. Close out thee program and repopen and install Tiamat follow the instructions. Thats all I did. Worked great ran 2 benchmarks clocked at 1.5 no FC at all!

Just did a root process to my wifi version xoom with the new April 1st release of the program, and all worked well. Just a note that 3 of your command windows ( "fastboot oem unlock", "adb push .\wifiroot\bcm4329.ko", and one of the "adb reboot bootloader") didn't run an exit command once completed , and another ran "ex" ( "fastboot flash boot ") instead, which is an invalid windows command. Doesn't break anythng persay, but just commenting to help you clean things up along the way.
[Xoom Android Development] DirtyDawgOriginal:
This exact thing happened to me when I used the program attached to the first post on here and tried to go back to Stock Kernel. What I had to do to fix it was use the same program to flash the Timat Kernel again. At this point I have no way to get back to Stock Kernel (if I ever wanted to).

Is there going to be an update of the files now that the wifi image is out there?
[Xoom Android Development] swcowger:
Ditto last post.
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Well it looks like the image that was pulled will not re-lock and has trouble booting the system back up so chances are we will have to wait until Moto releases the files.

As for the SuperUser issue someone is having, when it runs the command to push that and to move su to bin and xbin what does it say?
[Xoom Android Development] xguntherc:
The new RootmyXoom doesn't have the flash tiamat/stock kernel option anymore, but the files are still in the download?

Does that just mean we go to the tiamat thread and follow his instructions?

Also I tried the backup option and I saw about 10 adb commands very quickly scan on my desktop and that is all that happened. I see no backup files anywhere. Any idea's?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
No clue about the Tiamat Kernal, but I know he was having some trouble with the backup.

I just tried and it looks like it is still down, it worked once last night and then stopped.

Type adb devices from command line. Navigate your prompt to the RootMyXoom folder and run this

adb devices

See if it gives a list and screen capture it.

Then run adb remount and see what it does at that point.

Yeah, make sure you have no other devices plugged in and you will be cool, restart should not be needed after you remove your other device.

stuck at starting fastboot

wifi only here.

When running April 1st one-click app "wifi actions" I am getting stuck at the Starting Fastboot Protocol Support and the moto logo. It's odd because i was able to boot into fastboot with the previous release (March 28th) just not obtain su.

I am able to restart by pressing volume+power, and i have tried a couple of times with no luck. I have waited up to 5 minutes for it to boot.

Win7x64, latest motodev drivers, debugging is on, RootMyXoomNOUnroot.zip.

Any idea what's up?
[Xoom Android Development] stevenege:
Try doing this.

Restart the Device and let it boot up. Restart the app with Administrator rights and start from there. You should get step one which is the "protocol" screen. Click ok and another prompt will come up for step 2 and type fastboot oem unlock.

If this does not happen, let me know.

You can reach me here or on GTalk (I am always on) for this problem and I will try and help.

So the prompt is there, but not saying anything like fastboot oem unlock ?

If not, run the command in the windows because you CAN type in that window and see if it moves it along.
