volume down + power gets u into download mode with the gingerbread kernel

the original way was take out battery, hold volume up + volume down, plug in USB, put in battery and it would go into download mode but that was before the new gingerbread kernels and stuff

try both

or just look at the original post and read about how to safely go back to stock =/

I am able to get the download icon on my phone using both volume pressed and inserting usb..i was still on froyo..i never flashed any gingerbread ROM..my odin is not recognizing the phone..i have used AIO toolbox many times but tis time it is not recognizting..i see the phone and computer screen if i try to power it on...

I AM ABLE TO GET BACK TO JF6 using AIO TOOLBOX finally....
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
From what you are saying, you can still get your phone into download mode. If that is the case, then you are in a good position. When you put your phone into download mode, plug it into the computer next, making sure Odin is already open. However, I have learned that if it didn't work the first time, I would unplug the phone from the computer and close Odin. Open Odin again and then plug in the phone. If Odin sees the phone try to start it again. However, I'm assuming you know what files to load into Odin first before starting. If not, try DesignGears One Click Downloader at http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989. It will load the Eclair/Froyo bootloaders. This is again assuming you have a bootloader issue (based on where Odin died on you). However, Cezar has an excellent Odin setup that will put you back to stock without reloading bootloaders. I don't have the link but it is in this forum.

I'm hoping this helps. I believe your problem is bootloader.

Good luck!!

EDIT: Also, try plugging in your USB cable into different ports in the computer. It is also possible that the cable has gone back and needs to be replaced. You also might want to try to reinstall the drivers on the computer.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^^ Try rebooting the computer, different usb and or different usb cable, etc. ??

[Captivate Android Development] maerlim:
Right, so that was then and this is now. It took about 8 hours of use but the lag came back and ended in a total freeze. So yeah, with apologies to existz, it does not seem to be the kernel. I'm tackling TW4 next. I'm determined to find the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
You can batch missing apps + data, but some recommend only doing apps. Much better in tibu than dling again.

i heard that Xcal's kernel is the best for Continuum V5.4 and 5.4.1.. where i can find it ?

thanks

I would flash again and do a manual factory reset after first boot. Fixed my issue with all my apps, and the Market, disappearing every reboot back on Doc Rambone's kitchen.

Just jumping in. used different versions off talon. Have drawer lag and eventual launcher slowdown. (spb ..so it is kind of my own fault uses 65-75mb continually without even all my widgets). Worked through rfs and tried xcal no voodoo ashraf voodoo. Best I have found is talon 1.7 with ext4, no minfree, and shanes CF app to disable my 100 state. No drawer freezes so far and haven't had my launcher stall out yet. Just my cappy, but the cocktail is working

[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I have tried every ROM and kernel but you don't see me time and time again putting down any of them. I choose continuum and Talon because they perform best for me. You don't see me on Fusion, GR or any other devs thread putting there work down over and over again.

The devs on XDA do an exceptional job and constructive feedback is welcomed. I can quote from several of your post where you put down existz's kernels. If you want to recommend someone else's work fine but quit putting others down.

I was having that issue on GR-12 ROM with Talon-0.1.4 kernel.

After I installed Continuum 5.4.1 and Talon-0.1.5-TEST11 AND WIPED CACHE AND DALVIK CACHE, no more Google Voice problem. Of course, part of the install procedure was a Factory Reset.

Make sure you haven't disabled Media Scanner.

The "SGS Tools" app has scripts to enable/disable it.

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I'M very proud of ya...But I will have my say about any kernel/ROM combo..People should read about all possibilities regardless of what thread they are in. A few posts up someone said this ROM runs best with Xcals kernel...opps? ...Thats a bad thing? I think not.....So take make your rants and flail your pom poms as you wish....I have had issues with Sucker Punch on Froyo and Talon and OC/UV Kernels in general THATS my big "put down" you can quote me on.

I don't view this dev thing as a contest..with winners and losers.....I don;t see a reason to defend and protect a particular developer. I put my money where my mouth is. I donate EQUALLY to Mikey and Icezar as well nearly $100 to DG alone over the past year....as well as others who have made my phone "new" again... and I have supported the site it self . I have earned my right to have my say when and when I choose.

When you become a moderator you can "moderate"
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Xcals Kernels has always been less about bleeding edge and more about stability.....Nothing wrong with seeking stability over bleeding edge. Hardcore had the best Froyo Kernel for stability,

Two months ago the Captivate was lighting fast on the "latest Froyo releases"

In the end speed can only get so fast and bleeding edge speed messes with stability...........Stability is key.

But we cannot talk about that here.....:D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] zerkai:
Though I haven't been on a Gingerbread ROM yet, seeing how up to date you are with your roms is amazing. Seems like you're just always on top of it. I was a fan of your Froyo work for a while and I can see you have a vast amount of followers. Keep up the good work! Donating.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Why not ALL people had issues? Can you find an explanation to that?

I have a colleague, he has no knowledge about android or flashing whatsoever, he read the steps, he did them , everything went fine and I never had to support him in any way. Im not saying people dont wanna read but Im pretty sure that in the rush of wanting to "try something new" they dont pay attention and things go wrong.

On the other side, I think devs should't take the blame for the fact that Samsung decided to release 10 different hardware configs for the same device (there's where the OC/UV limits come from and not only that).

Please, again, if you are angry or you feel like you wanna spread s**t.. think twice. I said it once, Ill say it again, we (not me and eXistZ but the entire dev community) are not sleeping full nights for bringing something better to you. Something that could fix the points that ATT and Samsung failed terribly at and something that will make you feel better at the end of the day regardless of what s**tload of money you spent on this device.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Tested this out, same issue. Nothing happens with the button. I'm going to try swapping with GR-12's Swype tonight.

They are only accessible with the Glass Lock screen. You can change that in Settings > Display.

Cezar, don't listen to the complainers, they're selfish. You and existz have done a fantastic job getting this build so stable so quickly. I'm extremely impressed.

this is the longest time ive had a single rom on my phone for a bout a month. i do like the cyanogen mod notification bar toggles, is there a way to get it?
[Captivate Android Development] dalewest:
What he said, and:

I'm more and more convinced that it's the 3rd party apps that are causing the lag issues that have been discussed here. A few astute observers here (you know who you are) have noted that most apps haven't been updated for GB yet, and so could be behaving poorly as a result.

Additionally, for some, Xcal's kernel might do things differently enough so as to either mask the app issues or not present the differences between Froyo and GB to them. This is just me theorizing here, since I'm not a dev and I don't play one on TV.

For my part, I'm sticking with Continuum/Talon, as Cezar and Existz seem to work really well together. And I love how responsive they are, both to our posts and to the frequent code updates.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Never mind, tried GR-12's Swype.apk and lib file, didn't work at all. There must be another file this time around or something that isn't compatible with JVH.

Sony Launcher

Just in-case anyone wanted to try it ....I have been using the sony launcher with this newest version of continuum v5.4.1 and it is extremly fast. Now that touchwiz 4 launcher to me is still kind of laggy but it's still pretty nice.
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I think that XCal's kernel uses CWM 2.5 but Talon's uses CWM 3, could this be the culprit?

i did a full backup, but I am NOT going to do a FULL restore, just restore apps, and a few settings. so my question is, what under Titanium backup holds the wifi settings.. nono or not, i would like to try.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Go to Backup/Restore tab on top middle, there should be a "wi-fi access point" option there, click on it and restore.

I have tried it on 2.2.1 roms and it worked, can't guarantee it for 2.3.3 , maybe the settings are set up differently. I would strongly recommend a nandroid backup before trying it so you can go back if things go terribly wrong

EDIT: Just to make it easy, the option has TiBu Icon, yellow star in front of it.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
I installed this last night and everything was working great. I recharged it this morning. A few minutes after I took it off the charger is powered down. I booted it back up and all seemed ok until it powered down again about 20 minutes later.

Anyone else have this issue? I was really pleased until that happened.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
By the way, just to go through the steps:

1. Go to recovery, do a "Wipe data"

2. Go to download mode

3. Flash noboot package

4. Again go to recovery "Wipe data"

In between 1 and 2 you might want to flash to stock using cezar's method which does not flash bootloaders and "wipe data" again, but I am not too sure of that. I would recommend against using any one click or other methods to restore to stock that flash bootloaders.

[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
connexion can jtag them i think, also adam from team komin/andromeda is working on a way to restore with the usb port even when download mode is unreachable.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
That requires opening up your phone hardware, and surely voids the warranty, I would prefer warranty anyday.

I know flashing voids it too, but still people have been able to still claim them, but if samsung detects hardware modifications, I am pretty sure you are out of luck.

I've been running this Rom since yesterday. No force close , everything work great, quick and snappy!

Only issue so far, Battery... I unplug at noon.... 6 hours laters, i'm at 50%, and I've used my phone about 5 minutes for a phone call.

I took a look in the battery Use, and I see the e-mail App taking more then 50% of the battery. That is very unusual compare to a Froyo app.

I change the e-mail app from Push to synchronize at each 1 hour.... seems a bit better now, but I didn't had that isse before while using Push.

Thanks for your hard work into this :-)
[Captivate Android Development] streetsmart999:
Yes.,. Search for At&T service center in ur Local area. They will exchange with no questions asked. Just tell them U plugged in for charge and it never came back..(battery became hot or something like that) and Act as dumb as possible. :) that will help. believe me. DO NOT TALK TECHNICAL.(To them)

[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
This rom is great except for the lag that I get. Especially when I play music through Bluetooth. It gets to the point where the phone just locks up completely and I have to do a battery pull. Sometimes when I am texting it will lock up completely as well. Another problem I have had is random dropping of calls. I have never had this problem before and have installed some different modems, but it still seems to happen a good bit (once every three minutes). It sucks because this is by far my most favorite rom.

Voice cut in IGO GPS

Hello,

I having a voice cut when using a IGO GPS software, does anybody have the same issue or Just me?

Thank in advance.

Oscar
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I have to agree that there is something going on with Bluetooth. Not just on this ROM, but even on base JVB I was experiencing popping in BT audio. I can make it happen by hitting Voice Search and Navigating somewhere... as soon as the GPS gets activated- pop.

The symptoms seem to change slightly with kernel changes. Not sure if that means anything. There is a little chatter from time to time in the kernel threads about BT audio. I assume modem changes affect Bluetooth since I have to re-pair whenever I flash one, so if you are running the JPY modem that comes standard, I would try flashing JK4 and see if it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
I used JK4 for awhile, but I was dropping too many calls :/
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
hmmm seems a bad flash or maybe some 3rd party apps causing it are you using tw 4? tw 4 causing way more lag for me took it out and my lag problem is solve. never have that problem very stable for me using my bluetooth never get drop call talking to it for like 2 hrs, try do a clean flash not sure if kernel has to do with i but u can try flashing xcal kernel maybe it will fix it im using xcal kernel no issue except for the batt drain and proximity sensor when you make a call

He is not trying to moderate, he is just defending those who volunteer their time. It is great that you donate, however that does not "earn" you the right to complain. Donating is different than paying for something. Paying for something that is being offered in return for money gives you the right to complain. This ROM is being offered free of charge, therefore you do not have the right to complain if something doesn't work properly. You can and should report problems as that is the only way the developer can know what needs to be fixed, but there is a way to do that without complaining. Donating helps compensate volunteers for graciously giving of their time and talents without expectation of compensation. When you donate you are giving money that is not required or asked for. When you donate in anticipation of getting something back then you miss the point of what donating means.
