Hello

I'm having problems charging my captivate. It's not the micro usb cable because I have tried multiple ones. I do receive power but its not just simply "plug and play". I literally have to tinker with it and if the phone is interrupted it stops charging.

I priced the repair for it online and cell phone repair shops want 60$. I looked up the (SAMSUNG I897 CHARGING PORT) and its 3$. My question to anyone who has repaired or knows. Is this piece modular or is it soldered to the circuit board.

This is the part I'm referencing to.

Charger-Port-Connector-Plug-Samsung-Captivate-i897

Sorry I cant post the link because I'm a noobie, and this site has a great feature built in to avoid spam.

Thanks for all you help
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ZBigT:
I've never taken mine apart to find out but I just saw this post by Statstalker that has some pics of his USB port and it appears to be soldered. Hope that helps.

Hey all. So 2 days ago I first noticed this problem. If I have music playing, and I turn my screen of the music then get very bad quality. It skips, it lags, it distorts. When I go to turn back on my screen the phone is very unresponsive. Have troubles getting the music to turn of, or even the screen back on. It happens with both player pro and di imported. But not with power amp. I thought it was a app specific problem at first, till I had it happen on di imported. The very first time it happened I was using it with my trucks input. Could I have possibly had a power surge do something to my device? I didn't change any settings on my phone that day, so I don't think it has anything to do with my set CPU settings. Any thoughts or help would be appreciated.

[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
Okay, so actually when I said the bit about set CPU it made me think about trying it without. And the problem was gone... but I have never had this problem before. Running at 1113 performance, 245 powersave screen off. Still very confused

[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
I deleted that.lol.

[G2 and Desire Z General] xT4Z1N4TRx:
Lol, it could be because the music app your using is needing much more processing power than 245mhz. trying upping it a bit.
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
I will try that. But I'm still confused as they worked fine before

Edit: Tried it at 368 and no problems. I guess I can live with that:P I shall hit thanks next time I'm on the computer

[G2 and Desire Z General] martonikaj:
Its probably the fact that its a 3rd party music player and it, along with all other apps you have, require just a little more CPU to keep running smoothly. a 245max/min screen off profile was probably just a little too low to keep it running smoothly.

Believe me, you're not the first person to have issues with a 245mhz screen off profile. You need to run a pretty lean ship to let that run smoothly with no problems.
[G2 and Desire Z General] deliriousDroid:
I have no trouble beliving that. I am just confused about the fact i didnt change anything or add any new apps, and it just stopped working proper.
[Samsung Galaxy S (4G Model)] DJ_Caibel:
So, ever since I rooted my SGS4G I've had three really odd issues that happens across all ROMs - stock, custom, ODIN, CWM - all of them.

1. When I first boot up the phone it gets stuck in landscape mode. Then after about 30-60 minutes it starts working fine and auto-rotates like it should.

2. It randomly goes into Car Mode or Desk Home starts up on its own - on ICBINB and Audiophile if I hit the Home Key then it starts Desk Home. So I have to back out to the Home screen.

3. Also, whenever I play certain games, it only works for a minute or two, then goes to the home screen. I've uninstalled and reinstalled the games and it still happens.

So, has anyone else had similar or identical issues? If so, how'd you fix them?

Here's a space dedicated to discussing the new nightly builds of CM7. They are arranged numerically and chronologically on CM's download mirror.

This is a link to the nightly change log. The buildbot compiles a list of changes made to the ROM each day. If a feature stops working, a good resource to check would be the change log.

When discussing builds, please remember to include which nightly ROM you are on. For instance the ROM from July 28 can be referred to as either 7/28 or #3.

Happy Flashing!

[Fascinate Android Development] neozen21:
No specific changelog for FascinateMTD yet, but if there is one it would be here..

[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Build #3 here:

For me everything is working fairly well. When I flashed Glitch Kernel (HL) it broke a lot of system processes, so I just went back to the default that came with this nightly.

See what works for you.

PS: Mic volume is loud and clear in build #3.
[Fascinate Android Development] fifreak:
This seems to work:

http://cm-nightlies.appspot.com/?device=fascinatemtd
[Fascinate Android Development] neozen21:
I just installed #3 too, and looks like the bug with the signal bars is still there...

Everything else seems OK so far..
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Great find. Added to OP

Interesting note. The newest CM7 (build #3) is listed as Android 2.3.5.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rick S:
Is everyones mms working on this nightly? Mine seems to have stopped...just says sending...
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
my regular messing is messed up now, I'm using build #3 and Handcent. For one bln appears to be broken, and to get a message I have to wake the phone up.

Volume during calls seems to be about the same, one wierd thing I noticed using cm7 in general, when I'm in a call the phone vibrates erratically like its crashing, but it actually never crashes. Very bizarre
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
This version of CM7 comes with a different kernel than what you've been on. This kernel doesn't contain the features of BLN, hence no light up notifications.
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
It's quite possible that you can't send MMS with wifi on. On previous CM7 versions I have had luck turning off wifi before I send my message. Otherwise, I got stuck with a perma-send.
[Fascinate Android Development] bleeeeeeek:
Glad I saw this post.. Cuz I was gonna say.. I'm getting service there's just no signal bars..
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
Bummer I really need BLN, ah well no guts no glory lol.
[Fascinate Android Development] Rick S:
Thanks, but I didnt have wifi on at the time...just installed nightly #3 over build 7-17.
[Fascinate Android Development] jearl75:
Same for me, mms isn't working with nightly #3, going back to 7-17 build for now. Glad to see the nightlies started though!!
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
It's also possible that a toggle of airplane mode on and off would remedy the issue. We'll see.
[Fascinate Android Development] tonu42:
I was going crazy for an hour looking up why mms didnt work. I turned wifi off and BOOM. Then that didnt work for a bit, so I turned airplane mode on off and it worked after that.

I thought mms didnt work so this little procedure is fine with me :D:D
[Fascinate Android Development] mxpxrobbie:
Is anybody else getting random phantom rings? When I try to turn the volume down, it shows up as 'In-call volume'. the only way I can get it to stop is to actually call a number and then hang up.

I'm on Nightly #3, but missing BLN and having problems with MMS, so I might go back to 7/25 or 7/26...
[Fascinate Android Development] baron4406:
If you can find the 7/26 build let me know, I flashed the 7/25 and it really freaked my phone out. I'm on 7/17 now I gave up on the nightlies for now.
[Fascinate Android Development] Dueling Chainsaws:
Could you elaborate on which system processes were bugged? I'm on Glitch Kernel as well and have not experienced any.

Like android.system force closed when I attempted to start the phone. Couldn't get a status bar to appear on top.

Possibly fixing permissions would have helped.

There's a bit of stuff here but it says it won't work for the Fascinate. Linking from there, however, is some more info that DOES include the Fascinate.

[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
I'm going to ask the obvious question ...what is this doing in the development section besides cluttering it? I actually got excited when I first saw it thinking it was a new Rom, then I realized you had actually posted a discussion thread labeled [Rom] in the development section when there is a general section specifically for everybody's stupid comments and noob questions. XDA WILL SOON BE A GHOST FORUM IF THE MODS DON'T BRING A LITTLE ORDER!!
[Fascinate Android Development] djk21108:
Thankfully there are internet white-knights like Headcase8911 keeping order in this wild west of a forum.

This thread has helped a few people out, and I created it before JT officially announced CM7 nightlies in his own thread. No reason to delete it now, since there is some good info in here.

If it really offends you that terribly, I suppose I'll take it down. Seems pretty harmless at the moment though.
[Fascinate Android Development] Headcase8911:
For the record, there would be no need for white nights like headcase8911 if there weren't first free-wheeling trolls such as djk21108. Look, I'm sure you're a fine chap but you're out of your element here, come now, no hard feelings, all I'm asking is for simple instructions to be followed. Additionally, does it bring you pleasure to bring chaos to the forums and watch our devs leave us? It's no surprise to me that jt is moving on from xda, if I had to negotiate through these forums I'd slit a wrist.

Headcase, you could use a little grace and class in your critique of the posting practices of others. Something to consider. Berating people on xda does not help its reputation either.

[Fascinate Android Development] projektorboy:
Got nightly #6 (from today 8/2) running. CM7 pretty much makes the fascinate monstrous. This is even 200 points faster than when I had Vanilla Gingerbread running on this phone. This is stock kernel, stock speeds, ondemand governor from SetCPU.

At this point I think all I could ask for is for the signal meter to be fixed. Also I experienced an odd freeze in the phone when setting alarms where none of my capacitive buttons worked, but the screen and other hardware buttons did. Could have been random, could have been the ROM. No idea.
[Fascinate Android Development] djlim4:

Any suggestions for the best mobile recovery app? Looking for something that I can activate if i lose my phone, to either turn on GPS, send location, lock and/or remote wipe.

Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] crenshaw1979:
Lookout Security
[Captivate Themes and Apps] nizbot:
Yep. Nice. I've used Lookout for AV before, but forgot it had the remote recover features. I just tested it and it's perfect for my needs. The free version, allows you to remotely locate as well as make the device scream.

For reference sake, cause it was important to my since the Cappy doesn't have the best battery when gps is enabled.... I have the gps radio turned off and when you login to the Lookout site and click Locate, it remotely turnes on your gps, locates your device, then turns your gps back off. Freaking amazing!

Thanks again!

I would like to know everyone's opinion of the best MIUI ROM and why. I want to try one out but there are so many different kinds.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grundoko:
I've been happily using the MIUI.us release for a while.

MIUI is a Chinese ROM, the other ones are just translated versions of the same ROM with some minor changes. In ROM Manager, there's the original Chinese MIUI, MIUI.us, MIUI Android, and MIUI-PT.

MIUI.us is the most popular of the 3, haven't used MIUI-PT, but I'd assume it's not much different.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Spastic909:
Not really much of a difference. There are a few that remove a few apps and such, but as far as settings and such I don't see much of a difference
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xsteven77x:
Seriously that whole miui debacle is a mess. I don't even THINK of trying it because there are 13425 of them to pick from and barely any documentation on what makes them different! But honestly if i was gonna try it, it would be the official miui usa release. Or better yet i might just go buy an iphone ;)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draketh:
Meh.

I'd go with the MIUI.us version off of their site. Most frequently updated, less buggy, smooth, negligible speed difference between it and the other "optimized" versions of ROM Manager. Like mentioned above, some just add or remove some apps and other minor stuff. MIUI.us is the official "unofficial" MIUI translation, as mentioned on the chinese MIUI site.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] zkid2010:
It really doesn't matter which one you flash. Once you've installed the Simpson's theme, it's all money :D
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grundoko:
Yeah just install MIUI.us through ROM Manager (The version on ROM Manager is up to date). It has the best english translation, and its the most used by far.

And I must say, MIUI is a very nice ROM, by far the most user-friendly. It has a somewhat iPhone-like UI, but much nicer looking. It's heavily customizable, but I'm quite fond of the defautl theme that's pre-installed with the latest MIUI.us

I personally prefer Cyanogenmod myself, but if I was going to choose a phone for a non-power user, it would be an Android phone, and I would install MIUI on it.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] happymfeet:
Thanks for all your replies. I understand there is no app drawer in MIUI if I'm not mistaken. I would like to know if there is a way to put this in the rom. Or an app that can do this or something similar because for me I need it to be organized. Thanks for your help in advance.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cjward23:
You can use any of the many different launchers that are available. My favourite is launcher pro. Or you could use adw, go launcher, stock gingerbread. Take you pick
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Draketh:
This. If you want Tmo app drawerish and launcher, you could push Launcher2. I did that for awhile (break from cyanawesome)
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Athrun88:
MIUI.us Official with LauncherPRO will give you the best experience. I personally like the UI of MIUI and I don't miss the app drawer too much. It just takes a little getting used to. Plus, having 9 homescreens is pretty cool =p
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Grundoko:
Yeah, the default launcher with MIUI is more like the iphone launcher. All your app icons are on the many home screens. However you can easily install any other launcher, my favorite is Go Launcher.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 318sugarhill:
I was wondering the whole 4 different versions of MIUI from Rom manager myself. I NEVER flash roms from Rom manager, only from recovery but I do download from Rom manager occasionally. I have been using MIUI.us WITH launcher pro. I LOVE the rom, but do not like the iphone launcher. An app drawer is a must for me, and I use too many widgets to use the default iphone launcher. I know you can use widgets on the default launcher but it's a lot easier with launcher pro to just long press and add them. I'm a big fan of Sense, have always stuck with it over CM7 (except on my Nook of course) but I figured I needed a change. So far MIUI is the most stable ROM I've EVER used outside of the stock rom (which isn't always stable......ask any VZW BB Tour owner when OS 5 was "officially" released).

Point is MIUI is a really great ROM. Many criticize it because it looks like an iphone at first, but with a new launcher, it's surely pure android. Enjoy.
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] awsrasool:
you should just try one and see for urself... one thing i love about MIUI is how easy it is to customize the themes and the variety of themes available directly on the phone... not like CM where u have to find the theme in the forum or market... definatly give it a try

I am getting the charge tomorrow after having the fascinate for 6 months..I used CWM and ran Evil Fasacination on that for most of the time and i wanted some help on seeing what everyone thought was the best rom or kernel was to go to after using thoes thing. Also i want to know how to do it with the charge and is it like the fascinate?

don't mean to be rude but wrong section bro, mods move this to general...

anyways your best choices right now to get the Fassy experience are probably froyo roms with a voodoo kernel

[Verizon Droid Charge] mmamo:
Personally, and I have tried many of the Rom's, I ended up using the Debloated Ginger Bread Leak EP1F and Loaded the EE4 Radios from Kejar31 and here is why. On Froyo, which is what your phone will come with, the battery did not last that long. I loaded the EP1F G/B leak and noticed a huge difference. I tried the latest leak EP1H but noticed a few issues so I went back to EP1F. I was having an issue with 4G and running Barnicle as well as other issues on EP1H but since I went back and loaded the EE4 Radios things have been great.... Once you do you can download Launcher Pro from the market and rootexplorer and tweek anything else you need to tweek.

Hope it helps.

If you liked Evil Fascination, then the choice is obvious: Eclipse, which is Nitro's ROM for this phone and is basically EF+ for the Charge. Just had a big update today, too:

And FYI, the last poster's claims about Froyo battery life are just wrong. It's the kernel that really determines your battery life, and as for that, just like on the Fascinate, your best bet for great battery life is imnuts' undervolted PeanutButta Jelly Time:

If you disagree you have your right to state your opinion but don't state I was wrong based on my experience.
