Hmm try to going to settings>system>mobile network settings>network operators. Check if It can find it there.

Guys I got a problem when upgrading from 1.5.13. For some reason my contacts don't relate properly EX: When I call a number it lists the contact name, however when they call me it doesn't list the contact name just the number. Same thing with Texts I'm able to send them a message and it lists their name and all, but when they text me I get a different message thread with their number, it doesn't stay in the same messaging thread.

I found a slight solution by looking at the number I get from calls/texts and I noticed that it shows EX:"1-Area Code-###-####" (# = Number) So I changed my contacts to include both "1" and "Area Code" and it related properly.

However when I get that pop up box for a text I'll respond to it and it will show up in another messaging thread??? Even when the names are the exactly the same with the exact same number? It only seems to do this in the pop up text.

Never had any of these problems with 1.5.13 though :(

EDIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ok so since I was able to modify my contacts by placing the "1-Area Code-###-####" so far I tested it with 2 phones, my home phone, and my brothers cell phone and phone calls seems to be able to relate properly. Now as for the pop up text goes...that seems to be giving me trouble. When replying through the regular messaging window it works fine, however when I reply through the pop up window I get a completely different messaging thread, even though the contact name and number are exactly the same.

EX: ME: I send my brother a text

HIM: He gets the text responds back

ME: I get pop up text and reply

ME: Goes to messages and see's 2 different message threads for the same person?

None of this ever happened on 1.5.13 and I never had to change anything. sigh :(

Help anyone???
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Unbelievable, I asked the simple question: Can we use these animated icons http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=722993 in Miui? And there hasn't been one reply.

Shows everyone how much it pays to donate.
[Captivate Android Development] 10Stars:
Sorry man I wish I could help you but I'm new to this whole custom rom scene. :(

I'm sure you'll get an answer from someone who knows.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Wow, entitled much?

To answer your question those can be used through inserting them into a theme but I would not flash any zip or anything like that. On first glance they are just status bar icons so just take the images, make sure they are named correctly for miui, and replace the existing images in the system ui folder in the theme.

Last I checked donating for a rom does not imply that the op is on the hook for theming your phone for you. But I could be wrong
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Let's not get into a debate about that.
[Captivate Android Development] jahanz:
Alright so been using this Rom for a while and what an amazing work you guys have done, just Amazing....

But I noticed something recently and I thought I would share I was using the music player ...Miui player that comes with and was playing on phone speaker... and after like 4-5 songs the volume just died .... I mean it was still playing but too low and this happened automatically...and somehow all media sounds were gone...and playing with sounds setting didn't help ...only reboot fixes it untill it happens again if you play 4-5 songs on phone speaker...... anyone else had this?
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Yes this has happened. I installed the Platypus MIUI kernel and played with the voodoo control app for a while and I'm guessing it's fine when I do that.

I could be wrong and screwed around with the rom like an idiot.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Mcord I'm down from 98 to 88 and its been maybe 1 hour, I was texting a little, I'm running platypus q9, with same UV you used. Is that normal? What kernel is working best for you?

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I have had luck with most as of late. Using tk glitch right now. Off charge since 5:45, 90%

It may be some services that are running that need to be checked. Battery always various from device to device
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
There is no debate to be had, agreed
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Where is that?? I have 84% at it's been 2 hours. Only services I have running is 3G watchdog, and watchdog lite. I know every device is different. Only thing I have on is, auto-brightness but could it take that much battery?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Kernel its linked in op
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Still doing the uv to 225 for 600, 150 for 100 and -75 for all the other ones?
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
+1000000. You guys are all awesome :]
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Is the glitch kernel that everyone is using so far V9B-VC-captivate?
[Captivate Android Development] Optilicious:
I have a couple things im looking for help with. First I'm still only getting 12 hours battery before I get the charge me warning. So I decided to try a different kernel. I flashed the glitch kernel. Everything seemed to go well but now all of the music in my external SD card doesn't show up in MIUI music app. I can still browse them in a file exlporer though. I tried reflashing MIUI but that didn't help. Any ideas before I flash back to stock and start over? Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yep. the newest one is having issues with not having working data still. just tried it a minute ago so you need to use V9B-VC captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Take out your sd card with your phone still on and put it back in. See if it shows now.

Also go into the miui gallery and hit the menu button, select rescan the sd card, and see if that works.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
not sure if this will work for you too. but when i had that problem i plugged my phone in via usb to my comp. it recognized both sd cards right away. i opened the externel. then i disconnected the usb. then i checked my phone and all was normal again. maybe try and reboot also and see if that helps ya out bro. and try all of the above that proto suggested.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
No, -75 on all
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
I had to reformat my sdcard and start over with it. This and creating the external_sd folder resolved all SD Card issues for me. I was also receiving an error when inserting the card saying "SD Card is ready to remove" like when i inserted it auto ejected. Either way now is all smooth and working GREAT!
[Captivate Android Development] xiaoali:
Nexus S Drivers?

I see that the instruction now says to have Nexus S drivers installed.

What's the best way about doing that? Seems like everything I can find online says to install the Google SDK or do a force install?
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Re-posting some more issues as well as previous due to no answers to my last posts. I am still having the following issues and wanted to know if they are resolved in a newer kernel or the latest 1.5.20 release.

- (Most likely not a ROM issue but posting anyway) Words With Friends LAGS on this ROM but is snappy on other roms (andromeda etc). Anyone play this or notice this issue? I receive a black screen all the time when submitting my words. I have reinstalled it multiple times etc. Just wondering.

- (Bug?) When WiFi is enabled and data is also enabled the connection still uses the Data Connection. Example: Playing a game online (wordfued) i receive the notification its my turn to play like 20 minutes later where as if i disable Data while WiFi is enabled i receive notifications instantly. This also affects my email as i dont receive email in a timely manor while at home when on Wifi as i am an 'on call' tech and reeeeaaaaally need it snappy without having to do workarounds.

- Still having the button lockup issue. When the screen locks itself and when i bring it back on, the bottom 4 buttons no longer function until i lock and unlock again. I loaded 'Plat r9' kernel and the 'on demand' kernel as per suggestions and still receiving the problem.

- When i install themes i can no longer access the system menu or launcher menu or most other settings. Anyone else having this or found a workaround? (Loaded ROM on wifes phone and she doesn't like the default theme lol) I am guessing this is a problem with the themes BUT i see it on every theme i install.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
not sure about the issue with words with friends because i dont use it. heres a simple thing to try with your wifi. go into wifi settings and forget the router that you are using and then reconnect to it and see if that helps you at all. i know in the past i would have to do that once and then it would work with no problems after that. Make sure that the themes that you are using are up to date. a lot of the themes haven't been updated to the latest release so some of the things won't work.

Try this kernel that i've attached. i'm using it and it works really well for me. run the kernel cleaner before hand to ensure no issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Funny i just downloaded the kernel cleaner before you even mentioned it. :) Going to try this now. Thanks for the input. As for the Wifi issue it occurs with every WiFi i so i am not sure removing / readding will work but i will run a test and let you know. Again thanks! U ROCK! And so does your custom keyboard. WOOT. (just installed)
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yeah that kernel cleaner is a really good thing to just keep on you sd so you can run it with every kernel flash. i'll look around and see what i can find out about the wifi issue you're having. I'm glad you like the keyboard bro. good luck.
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Just realized 1 more issue. If i am on a call and enable data after walking out of the building to go on a walk or whatever the data wont enable until the call ends. Kinda sucks if i need to access the web or whatever while on the call. :D Just wondering. Thanks again.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
yep. i just tried that for the first time and its the same way here. i think it mmight have something to do with the call being enable without data on in the first place. i never have to turn my data off so i've never had a problem. only thing i can suggest is just leaving it on so you dont have any problems with it. i think thats normal?
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Isnt a viable option if the data connection is used while on wifi and i have to disable it lol. Then I receive a call and walk outside to discuss things etc. Also the connection sucks by my house and i always drop to EDGE from H or 3G so i basically use WiFi while at home which stinks if i go outside while on the call due to loud children in the house. :) Seems to be a pattern in my lifestyle i guess.
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Apparently i am going to be posting a lot of bugs. With headset plugged in i rebooted and it didnt notice the headset plugged in. Had to reconnect it to work. Just an FYI. Only noticed because i got a call and man was my ringer loud LOL!
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Why is it every time I flash the glitch kernel, my menu,home, and back buttons stop working? Very frustrating.
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Do they start working if you turn the screen off and back on using the power button? My phone has this issue intermittently for some reason, across multiple kernels/ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] Optilicious:
For my missing external SD card files I had already tried pulling out SD card and mounting USB with no luck and I didn't know how to do a manual rescan. Going into the gallery and selecting rescan fixed the problem. Thanks for the help.... again lol
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
The battery is freaking horrible.

WiFi, GPS and auto-sync off

In 8 hours down to 20%... Wtf.

Any suggestions on improving battery? Maybe I need to just delete the battery stats and let the rom fill it up again.
[Captivate Android Development] JWallstreet:
Currently running 1.5.20 with platypus r9.. Overclocked to 1.2. It is running super smooth!
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Can you see if your phone is actually sleeping? Something could be preventing it, and causing drain...

Go here to check:

Settings -> System -> Battery Settings -> Battery use -> Click on the graph on the top
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Everything on

52%

11 hours
[Captivate Android Development] piyush7243:
Yes . Battery Life horrible for me too. Any tips or Tricks or Any particular Kernel you guys are using.

My Cell network goes and doesn't come back. Have to reboot the phone.. On Glitch Kernel..
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Wifi sleep set to never

Auto rotate off

Get rid of all bs battery saving apps

Turn battery monitor off in miui settings

I am using glitch will get close to 20hrs on charge. Oc 1200, -75 on all
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
so I have a new problem... When I plug in my phone to USB it doesn't show up as USB connected at all.. Just started doing this yesterday.

Anyone know how to fix that?
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Can you make sure things look right here:

Settings -> System -> PC / Sync Settings

You can have it ask on connection, and set the default action there...
[Captivate Android Development] integrasaurus:
Does anybody else have a loud beep when ending a call? It's rather annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Haha, I've often wondered about that... and how to kill it, but I've never thought to ask. Curious to know now...
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
The text color can be changed but I am not sure what xml controls it
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
is there a way to change the notification background?
[Captivate Android Development] mossination:
Which theme is that?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Thank you SO much bro! Found the SMSC number for Rogers online, used your PDU converter site, and it works!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's the miui dark ui, they finally released it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Has anyone used the new initial kernel zip yet, want to make sure it works?
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Lmao.
[Captivate Android Development] krazyphire:
No problem! Not sure if the OP wants to link to that post in case anyone else has that problem. Took me ages to figure it out the first time it happened to me lol
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
I'll add it to the faq tomorrow since I'm about to go get some sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
so how did you do that?
[Captivate Android Development] adzidek:
Man, I friggin love the MIUI community. You guys rock. That's right, here's the first love-fest post in this thread. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
Yep, saw that earlier...it's def the dark theme as I'm on rc7 and have it too.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It is not hard but also not simple and takes a bit of explaining. In the theme I believe in the framework res file there are a series of pop up images and menus. Most are .9. Pngs. You have to find the pop ups make them standard pngs, edit using a program like photoshop to get the color you want. Then map them using draw 9 patch which is included in android sdk. Then you have to convert the 9. Pngs so that they will work in the theme

As I am writing this I realize it sounds like allot, but it is actually not that bad. I have never themed before and although it did take a while with a little effort you can pick it up
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
is the ad blocking feature removed?

Black theme is dang coool tho!!
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
i'll edit some that might help you out right now and see if you like them.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I would guess a lighter grey would still show text while holding the darker concept
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
...added to the rc8b list.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
thats funny you said light grey. i did it with light grey.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Great minds?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's to let you know the call ended. As far as I know, you can't turn it off.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Yeap Ask on Connection is On and it was set to Charge Only. I changed it to Mount SD Card and get the same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Reboot your phone and try plugging it on again.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
do what Mcord said to do. the above is what happened to mine.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Back to platypus quora 9. For whatever reason it is my happy place. Tk glitch is a nice kernel, just not as good for me
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
does anyone know how to get the other lock screen that shown on the themes. Everytime I download a theme I just get that same old lock bar.
[Captivate Android Development] steph2:
You hardly use that phone thats why the battery last over a day.

For those of use who have used 2.2 and got a whole day or 2. and then we use these 2.3.3 roms and play music for a few hours make 20 to 50 text mesgs and a few phone calls, and some internet its dead in in a matter of 6 to 8 hours. dont let me even get started on playing games its dead in an hour.

O.O but you cant please everyone i wish battery life was better.

Hard to have a sweet OS and never use it.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
If you apply a theme and it doesn't change the lockscreen, then it hasn't been updated. Most themes are using the old 2.2 builds. We are using the new 2.3 beta builds, so majority of themes haven't been updated to it yet.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I get 15 hours with heavy use

Meaning 3+ hrs screen time, 20+ minutes of calls. Maybe 20 minutes of music through bluetooth. 1hr on gtalk.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
you got that right. thats not my phone. thats my girlfriends phone. and all she does is listen to music, download music, and text a lot. my phone gets around 15-20 hours and i use it all day long texting (about 100-200 a day), a couple hours of phone calls, web all day long, and music whenever i'm in my car. froyo can suck it compared to what we're running ya know. i don't think many of us would go back to it. battery life is just a price we pay in order to run such an awesome rom.
[Captivate Android Development] smeltn:
Rebooted phone still nothing.. WTF!!!

Everytime I plug it in now I get a message from windows saying

USB Device Not Recognized

One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
You need Google nexus USB drivers if I am not mistaken.

I flashed escapist's kernel, then went back to platypus r9 and now bln isn't working. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Follow up

While I thank you for the information, no part of my post indicated I was entitled to anything. Instead of asking why you jumped right into assumptions.

Could be my post(s) got buried and nobody who could answer the question saw the post. Could also be a number of other factors.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
just for next time. you should just repost your questions because sometimes this thread goes really fast and some things get passed up without being answered. i don't remember seeing what it was that you were having issues with but i know that if i did i would've helped ya out bro. Same goes for Mcord and Proto and most of everyone in this thread. you can pm me or send me an email @ task650@gmail.com if you ever need some help and your questions get passed by in the thread again.
[Captivate Android Development] millerhe1:
Hey sorry if asked before but I am having issues with ringtones only working randomly. It there a setting I'm missing. Changing themes seems to fix it for a bit then back to only viberating again all volumes turned to Max. Weird issue and only does it randomly. Itslike the candy commercial. Some times you feel like a nut sometimes you don't. Sometimes it rings sometimes it don't.
[Captivate Android Development] codeblue315:
I don't think you could've said it any better. Just flashed Glitch's kernel, working great so far. Fast lock on WiFi, fastest I've seen on this ROM yet. Fast GPS lock too, was quite happy about that. Other than that, speed is still terrific, but battery still and probably always will blow for me. Oh well. :)
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Yeah. With the way this rom has progressed and continues to progress. Battery life doesn't seem that far away.

Gonna give Glitch a try, which modems pair best with it?
[Captivate Android Development] Famos:
I had the same problem...what i did was send my phone back and had them send me another one...i think the mini usb port is done for, i bet it still charges though, i had the same problem.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Modems usually are trial and error depending on where you live. So I would just try out a couple and look at how call quality is, battery life, GPS if you use it and all that stuff to determine which one is best for you.

sent from my Captivate running MIUI Gingerbread 2.3.4
[Captivate Android Development] Krazyone:
Which one in your opinion gives best call quality and strength? I know my phone sounds like crap without using a fricken headset.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You tried locking/unlocking the screen?

Make sure you're using the Captivate version as well.
