Not really. Sync your contacts with Google. It makes things so much easier. As soon as you enter your Google account on the new ROM, the contacts come back. I use SMS Backup and Restore from the market to take care of messages. Don't know if there are any good options for keeping logs.

Did you try KC1? I only ask because it gives me the best reception in Central NY, worth a try.

Swype 3.0

Are we going to get official integration of swype 3.0 here? haha...i'm loving this rom~
[Captivate Android Development] twvance:
I would try KC1 as suggested in the post above, and I would try JL2 as it has always been the best modem for me....even better than JK4. But as always, your milage may vary (or more likely, your milage WILL vary)

I am happy to report that it has been 2 weeks since I last flashed another rom, and that my addiction to constantly flash roms has been easy to suppress because of the functionality of S7. I have not experienced all the charging and drain issues that a lot of users have either, could it be due to the fact that i read and re-read the instructions and did proper searches to make sure i educate myself in case if anything goes wrong? in any event, Props to the people involved.

Help!

Hoping someone can help on this one. After flashing my cappy with ROM's for a year now I got hasty....

I was rolling back to stock using Odin one-click JF6 from Serendipity VII. During the process I got a blue screen at factoryfs.rfs. The process never budged beyond that so I closed Odin and disconnected. Now I cannot power on, cannot get charging screen, no download mode, etc.

Anyone have any ideas? I imagine it had to do with the bootloaders required by GB ROMs not jiving with the old stock Eclair.

Help!

Edit: After several attempts I was able to enter download mode. I ran Odin again and had the same issue. I downloaded a fresh Odin one-click JF6 and it successfully took me back to stock. My Odin file must have become corrupted. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
Why. Unless you're going to a Froyo ROM it is pointless and risky.

MikeyMike01,

What procedure would you recommend to wipe out a Gingerbread ROM. Currently running S7, but i want to wipe my phone as clean as possible. Then re-install S7 from scratch.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Wipe Data via CWM, and just reinstall S7?
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
And/or do a factory reset from the settings.

[Captivate Android Development] Dungeon47:
I was hardcore back in the day. I would flash to stock and master clear before each different update for Assonance and early Serendipity. Then I realized how much of a pointless waste of time it was and I haven't done so since. I think the last master clear was like Serendipity 6.0.
[Captivate Android Development] MikeyMike01:
It's mainly a relic of crappy install scripts that didn't wipe the phone completely or at all.

Here's a battery life update for all you juice-watchers.

Since kernel #4 was released I've done several full cycles, so this is not fresh from flashing or recalibrating. This is everyday real-world usage.

Today since getting up to go to work:

8h 34m on battery.

Display 1h 56m @37%

Voice Calls 19m @ 15%

PowerAmp 13%

Cell Standby 7%

AOS 7%

Rest below 5%.

I'm at 40% battery remaining. For the entire duration of this cycle, I've had 2 email accounts checking every few minutes, and several other services updating every couple of hours.

Keep in mind that this is during work hours. On-peak standby loses about 4-5% an hour. Off-peak standby loses about 1-2% an hour. Screen on tends tobe about 10% an hour for simple things and 15-20% an hour if I'm just hammering it with music playing while web browsing on Wifi.
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
so, a little problem here, is there any way to fix this? I really don't like the new beta and i'd like to hang with this one for a while
[Captivate Android Development] zeddock:
JL2 working good so far in one of the phones that never had a problem.

I downloaded my email.apk off the weebly site. Trying to get the email.apk that updates with all the folders for hotmail, and is exchange, instead of auto-update. Could it be the way it set it up when I did the set up for it?
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
It is a possibility.
[Captivate Android Development] killerxtreme:
Ok how do I do that, I need to return it to pre gingerbread loader then to get eclair right? Or do I just use odin and put the phone into download to return it that way? If I did that would I be able to update to froyo by their auto updater? Cause I didn't do a backup of my vanilla phone when I started using roms.
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Will they send you a phone and then you send them yours? Or?

When I did my return they sent me a phone and a return mailing label in the reusable box. Worked well.

That's the one I did. I had to create a new "manual" set up account, and set it as an exchange e-mail.

It still auto-rotates and such, but I see no text. Any ideas?

Thanks... gonna email AT&T to see if I can get my hands on a new phone ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
Use Odin3 one click to go back to eclair. You don't have to do any other steps. If you want to upgrade to froyo then you can do it via kies.
[Captivate Android Development] kegobeer:
The last time I checked, you normally have to go through AT&T for a return. GPS and/or scratches won't get you a refurb phone, though, in case you are planning on using that as a reason.

I see you changed Samsung to AT&T just prior to me posting! Disregard.

I'm running build #2, kernel #4, and JV6 modem and my Exchange email keeps a running count of all new emails, regardless of the actual number of unread emails. I saw this post and one other that mentioned the issue. Has anyone found a fix, or is this just something to ignore for now? Fortunately it's not a huge deal. The new mail icon is all I really care about.

I actually didn't notice the increasing count until today when I saw "71 unread emails" in the notification window. Kind of scared me for a moment. HA!

Factory reset your phone, then try it again.

You should use the search button.

Tibu > Uninstall Swype > Uninstall Swype Installer > Move APK over > Install
[Captivate Android Development] jerkysh:
this, my friend , is the drill

1. uninstall current swype with TiBu

2. delete libswypecore.so from system/lib with rootexplorer

3. extract content from swype.apk with rootexplorer and get the libswypecore.so from lib/armeabi and paste it in system/lib

4. copy the swype.apk to system/app

5. reboot device
[Captivate Android Development] JayPhill89:
Thank you for this. Exactly what I was looking for. Installed and working great.

I would start by calling the warranty number here: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB99619#fbid=kO2QemH1JA0

Or by calling International Care:

+1-916-843-4685

All ATT devices that are new come with a 1 year manufacturer warranty, and typically get a new or refurbished replacement unit. If they give you issue because of your location, you could perhaps get an American XDA'er who you trust to obtain a replacement for you, but I imagine this will leave you without a phone for a couple of weeks.
