[Captivate General] KreepyKen:
If you're just trying to transfer apk files to it for sideloading, you can use a wifi transfer app. I use Wifi File Explorer and it's great. You can connect to your phone via web browser and upload/download anything on the SD card.

Another option is to use an external SD card that you can remove and plug into your computer, transfer the files to it, then insert it back into the phone.

This won't work for connecting to PC apps like Odin, Heimdall, or Kies, but for simple file transfers it works like a charm.

Additionally, regarding other usb cables, you didn't mention what types of cables you used, so I'll throw in another thought. The cables that come with the Captivate don't work on some PCs (like my new iMac). Third-party, generic usb cables might not work, either (I tried some and got a whole lot of fail). The only cable that works for me is the one that came with my wife's Motorola phone. If you haven't tried one yet, I would recommend getting your hands on a Motorola cable and testing it out. You'll immediately notice the cable is much thicker. I don't know if that has anything to do with why it works when others don't, but there's something about that cable that others don't have.

Bad Phone?

Could it be the phone port is having issues?

I've had the same problem and it seems that the port on the Captivate is shot which may be your issue. it will always charge; but tends to cause a lot of profanity when trying to get a PC connection to transfer files or flash it. It will be seen, then immediately play the 'unplugged' sound from windows. I've sat there and had it play the tones of plugged in and un plugged over and over again just by tilting the phone from side to side. No matter what cables I use (tried several but they are all samsung due to the recessed port). If it establishes the connection; I have to be very still with it or it'll lose it. If it loses it; I get unknown device messages or not functioning messages on that port until I reboot the PC.

Trying to flash anything via ODIN takes a lot of patience.

Those same cables / USB ports are used on my wife's Focus without ever having a problem. I wrote it off as too much flashing / overclocking of my phone but am not sure.
[Captivate General] hadeanmars:
hi i was having this issue as well. i solved it by:

1. download a good & stable miui rom, rename it to update.zip and place it into your sd card. i took the sd card out of the phone and used a adapter to connect the sd card to my PC since i can't access my sd card through the usb port.

2. put the sd card back into my phone, turn off my phone. press and hold volume up and down buttons, then press n hold the power button till the screen shows something.

3. select install from sd. wait until the installation finishes and select reboot the phone.

4. when you're in your new miui rom, try to connect your phone to the pc via usb port again.

this worked like charm for me.

about the miui rom, i suggest you to use the one from miuiandroid.com (the UK version)

after flashing the rom im able to connect via usb and use mass storage.

hope this helps

[Captivate General] ashok.antony:
I had this issue once before. Here is what I did which resolved the problem. I was using a windows 7 PC

1. Download the ADB kit and extract it to C drive.

2. Connect your mobile to the PC on USB port

3. Wait for the drivers to be installed automatically (it might give you a failed to install message)

4. Never mind that message. Open Device Manager

5. In Device Manager, if you expand the "Universal Serial Bus Controllers", you'll see a device that has yellow question mark against it. This is your phone and since drivers are not installed properly, it has the question mark.

6. Right click that device, and select "Update Driver".

7. IN the window that comes up, select "I'll select a driver".

8. Browse to the folder where you have extracted the ADB kit on C drive

9. Check include subfolders and click Next.

10. The drivers should be be installed and your device should be identified by the computer.

Let me know if it works for you.

Hello,

i am using google voice recognition very often - I am loving it. The problem is that i need to talk very loud in order to get the voice recognized by the app.

Is there a way to increase the volume/sensitivity of the microphone?

Milini
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Foladko:
If you ever tried to do a recording, you'd notice that the quality is awful.

Google Voice probaly has more issues getting a clear enough sound rather than a loud enough sound.

Our phone isn't exactly known for it's senses, poor camera, speaker and mic :)
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] SupremeBeaver:
Agreed about terrible audio quality in Froyo.

But wait till you hear the quality in Gingerbread for the DHD.. it's like a new phone.
[Desire HD Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milini:
I know that the microphone quality in general is not good.

But that's not my problem. If you use Google voice recognition you have a kind of signal strength meter (don't know the english word for it) that shows you the input level measured by the application.

My observation is that sometime I have to shout in order to get recognized and sometimes it's enough to speak with normal voice.

The question is: Is there a way to change the microphone level or sensitivity?

I have been using SGP's anti-fingerprint screen protectors for my iPhone. Does anyone know of something similar for the gTablet?

I currently use the Skinomi protector, and it does nothing to hide fingerprints, it also was much harder to apply and I don't really care for the rubbery texture. I already have two dents in it from when I applied it. The SGP protectors are more like hard plastic.

I sent SGP an email but haven't heard back yet. If anyone else is interested in it and there isn't something out there please consider emailing them too, so we can generate some interest.

Hey guys, over the past couple days, it seems my phone has lost some audio abilities, what's weird is that some audio STILL works, here we go:

- Notifications (Text and email) *WORK*

- Music Player/Youtube Videos/Phone Calls(inside the call, and ringing) *DO NOT WORK*

- Phone Calls in SPEAKER mode *WORK*

Here's what I've tried:

- Flashing to stock via Odin (Did a flash, didn't master clear.)

- Reflashing Serendipity 6.3 (What I was using before, should I maybe try a different ROM? It's an i897 ROM.)

- "Pressing" on the speaker, as I heard some have connection problems, but this is almost a year after owning the phone.

- Different audio apps (Stock music app, and PowerAMP)

Any ideas?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milkshakes00:
Bump. Solution found.

It was actually my headphone jack failing. I pushed in my headphones, played some music and noticed the button on the samsung headphones wasn't working, I took the jack out, blew into it, and now the headphones no longer work, but audio is coming through the speakers again.

Fixed my problem, although it wasn't the fix I wanted, since I use my phone for all my music, constantly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pyroman27:
I had the same problem. Turned out to be lint from my pocket in the headphone jack. If you have lint, get a needle, take pliers and bend a small hook in the sharp end. Pull out the lint that got jammed in with your headphones. I posted this fix a while ago in the SamsungCaptivateForum.com. I thought I was the only one who had the problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Milkshakes00:
You know, that makes a lot of sense. I took a can of air spray this afternoon and let the headphone jack have it, and now it seems fixed. I think it might have been dirt from work. (Damn you, construction!)

[XPERIA X10 General] xKrisx:
Who is your network provider " ATT / Rogers ?? "

Anyways, drop your Sim Card out of your phone and leave the battery out as well.

On your computer, start up SEUS

Insert your USB Cord into your phone

While holding the back button down reinsert battery

Reinstall original Firmware with SEUS " Do not put SIM back in yet at all "

After restore is complete, disconnect and boot phone up " still without SIM "

It should show and error once phone is booted that will only allow you to make an emergency phone call. " No SIM Detected, Emergency Only " or something along those lines.

Turn phone off and reinsert SIM Card.

Turn phone on and let it completely boot up and see if it works.

^^ If the above steps do not allow your phone to recognize your sim card, then either 1 of 3 things. YOUR doing something horribly wrong and probably shouldn't be trying to install custom RoMs in the first place, 2, your phones SIM Slot is busted, or 3, your SIM Card is no good.

The above steps are a fail proof if you can follow the onscreen instructions and will illeminate any user errors from trying to use Xrecovery / Flashtool to reisntall a BB or FW

X-PART

D2W

can anyone tell me the difference between roms that contains these different keywords in the download file name. are they important?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madffrogs:
A2SD is generally meaning apps 2 sd card = A2SD

X part is type of data to sd card from Miui, same for D2W = Data 2 wherever .

That the Xpart can use multiple partitions to store data on D2W only uses the next available one.

If in doubt ask the question in the relevant rom forum.
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] turnerpctech:
If your new to it A2SD would be the easiest, just requires one extra partition and can be done through ROM manager. just moves your apps to your SD card, or A2SD+ which will move your dalvik cache to SD also giving more room on your phone
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jann32:
which of these three can recognise a partition, so that i can use it as an internal storage?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madffrogs:
As far as I'm aware they should all recognise a partition, the xpart and data2wherever transfer more of the app data to the partition.

Do a search on the rom thread you want to flash and there should be a more in depth answer.

a2sd is the easiest to use as you can do the partition with rom manager as turnerpctech said, xpart and d2w require multiple partitions to work, the easiest way is to use gparted live cd to do that, then you can create any size partition you want. see the Miui GB thread for a how to.
