Has anyone used viber app with this rom? It works for me except the other end cannot hear me. I can hear people from other side fine.

I did a fresh install of the latest version and I've searched through the forum but can't get a clear answer.

I am unable to connect to my PC after the install....when I plug it in the computer doesn't even recognize it as new hardware.

Help please....and Thank you in advance.

Have you tried 2 things...install new drivers(try these), or reboot your computer and your phone

That happened to me sporadically; reinstalling the drivers (even though they were the correct ones) and rebooting the PC solved it.

Have you tried downgrading to another version of this rom?

That or try a different ICS rom and see if you have the same problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnehXD:
A day or so ago I made a backup then did a factory reset to show some friends what the rom looked like by default. I haven't been able to flash back to my backup since then. The restore is successful but whenever I try to boot it, it stays on the boot animation. I tried again today and it stayed on the boot animation for 3 hours.

I have other backups to use from a couple days ago but they're missing some things. Is it possible for a backup to just be bad? Is there any way I can still restore to that backup?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryry2000ad:
Usually it would be bad if you messed with the file. I use titanium and it tells me if the operation is complete. Did yours say complete? If so, I would upload one of the older versions to verify it is working properly. Then factory reset, clear cache, then reload rom.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnehXD:
I did the backup through ROM manager, everything went fine with it, it finished then rebooted like it should have.

I've had it restored to the backup from earlier in the week, the phone works fine. I didn't mess with the backup file or anything, just tried to restore it.

I have been doing a factory reset and a cache clear before each reload.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryry2000ad:
Bummer. If it creates a separate file like Titanium you could always rummage through the files and see if anything is missing. Other than that it may be a bad back up. I recommend using Titanium.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JonnehXD:
You can back up an entire Rom from titanium and still be able to flash the backup from recovery?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryry2000ad:
1. create back up in titanium (stores it on sd) i recommend copying file to desktop just in case.

2. clear cache & factory reset

3. install rom

4. re-download titanium from marketplace

5. install settings/apps from saved file (pick and choose or install all saved)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Yes, this is good for backing your apps so you can use them on a new ROM, but it isn't quite the same as restoring an image of the exact state you were on before. I am also encountering backups that won't get past the boot animation. The problem is /data, because you can wipe /data and the ROM will boot just fine (obviously without your data). It seems to happen randomly, and I don't think there's a fix for any /data related problem yet.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ryry2000ad:
Understood. I thought that going forward using this method work. That way it did not have re-flash the rom itself just restored the old set up he had.

Haven't used the local back-up. Always started fresh then reloaded info w/titanium. Is it generally better/faster to use the stock back-up?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
It takes around 10 minutes for me, which I consider pretty fast. With ics though, there seems to be a lot of issues relating to /data

Pretty sure my captivate is 100% bricked.

Went back to Eclair 2.1, then CM7, then build 17 of Teamhacksung's ICS.

Everything went fine until ICS tried to boot up.

Right now it's stuck at the boot animation and doesn't seem to be going anywhere.

Volume up, volume down, and power. Hold the power until the screen comes on and continue holding the volume buttons.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyjed:
Hold the power down until after the att screen disappears. That might do the trick. . .

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyjed:
The kernel doesn't support overclocking. Try the glitch kernel.

Try the battery pull method with Odin already running on the computer and see if it doesn't recognize it. Have you tried adb reboot recovery?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlukiestEmperor:
Odin can only be done when the phone is in download mode.

Anything with adb with the phone in the state that it's in is useless.

You can buy a download jig here for $8. http://mobiletechvideos.mybigcommerce.com/samsung-galaxy-s-download-mode-jig/ I have one, it works great. If it won't get you into download mode you are totally bricked and will likely have to send it in for repair.

Some captivates simply won't go into download mode with the 3 button combo method. There is a fix for it you can install, you can learn about it here. http://youtu.be/qXMqLpnTPh0 I have done this as well, works great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlukiestEmperor:
Yeah, I'm sure it's 100% bricked without modifying the motherboard.

I've used a jig, it boots up without going into download mode.

I've left it at the boot animation for 8 hours, still never finished booting.

Any button combo I try will not get into recovery or download.

Oh well. Next week I'm eligible for an upgrade, but it's 4 months before my contract is up. I wanted to wait till my contract was up, but looks like I'll just buy a new phone anyway.

Should I buy a Galaxy Note?

This time, I don't think I'll be flashing it like I did with my captivate which pretty much was unbrickable until this point.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rciomper:
One other option would be to mail it in to the guys at mobiletech videos.

I have never used the service, $40 and got great reviews. Might be worth a shot. I have heard the new Galaxy III is going to be out in the next few months. I am holding out for it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlukiestEmperor:
It may be announced in a few months, but the looking at the note, that came out in November I think, and at&t didn't get it till February.

Other than the 12mp camera, I honestly don't see the point in waiting for it.

-Note has the largest screen of any phone so far.

-Note has a convenient place to store the pen, which by the way, works extremely well.

-Is there really a significant difference between a quad core and dual core phone with general usability? Not that I can see.

Anyways, I may as well keep the $40 and just by the Galaxy Note. It's a great phone, and since the cappy doesn't have a usable GPS or a camera flash, I think it will be a nice upgrade.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
What can I do about apps restarting due to the system being out of RAM? It causes lag and obviously interrupts processes. I'm not really sure if any of the memory management settings address this.

Also, I can't remember if build 17 had the CRT screen off animation, because my phone no longer does it and I can't find the setting. I've been on other ICS roms lately and I forget if this one has it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FlukiestEmperor:
Yes, I've tried the jig several times. What happens when I try the jig? It doesn't even attempt to go into download mode. It just does a normal boot up.

I went back to stock Eclair. Then Flashed CM7 RC 1 which came out a couple weeks ago. I liked it so much I was about to just stick with that.

Then I flashed Teamhacksung's ICS rom build 17. It seemed to flash fine. That is, until it tried to boot. Boots up and stays at the boot animation no matter what.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rciomper:
When I plug in my jig within about 5 seconds I go straight from black screen to download mode. Since your phone is progressing all the way to the boot animation I would guess your jig is bad. I had a cold solder joint in my jig that had me worried for a couple days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
Have you pulled the battery for more than 2min?

GMail Not Working on Build 17

I decided to try out build 17 coming from CM7. Everything is working great so far (it's only been about 12 hours, but still) except for my Gmail. I'm not receiving any email at all. I've sent myself multiple test emails and not only am I not getting a push notification, when I go into my inbox and sync it, nothing new shows up.

Anyone have any ideas for a fix? All my other Google apps work fine so far (market, Talk). I searched the thread for a solution and found none. Thanks for any help.

UPDATE: I was also getting an error that I was out of storage space and started moving larger apps to the external SD. After doing this, my push notifications showed up and my test emails come right through. So I guess it's fixed.

Ok, so I tried this before and it worked fine but this time it didnt. I replaced my peoples app with an inverted one I found online, I know it isnt meant for cm9 but it worked. However, the app also replaces the dialer as well, which is fine it worked but yesterday I did a clean install and replaced the contacts.apk but now when I click the phone it says, app not installed. I'm not sure why... There is already a phone.apk in system/app. Do you think I should fresh install again? Or is the contacts apk conflicting with the phone apk...

This is the forum from where I took the apk, http://rootzwiki.com/topic/15092-invertedtotally-inverted-apps-3-24-google-voice-updated/

Update: I just realized the first time I changed the contacts apk, was on b16, the fresh install was on b17. I'm going to assume that this change is why the apks are conflicting.

Titanium Backup problem/solution

I just installed the latest CM9 nightly (update-cm-9-20120330-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd-signed.zip) and when I went to download Titanium Backup from the Play Store - it was not to be found. I was able to download the "Key" for the premium version - but not the application itself. My only guess is that the Play store Titanium app doesn't consider itself to be compatible with my newly installed ICS 4.0.4.

Anyway, I was able to go to the Play store on my PC and install the application from there.

Anyone else have this happen? Did I do something wrong?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
I find it just fine. Try going to settings/apps/All, and clear data in Market then reboot

Also, just to be sure you are not making ANY reference to getting a key for the premium version, without paying for it are you? Just have to ask, that is a BIG no, no here

Titanium Backup problem/solution

Thanks alot for the response. Wish I had tried that 1st. But when I installed TiBu from Play store from my PC, TiBu installed and the problem was corrected. TiBu now shows up not only on my captivate but also in my list of apps via Play store on the phone. So as far as I can tell, everything's ok now.

As for the premium key, mine is legit and paid for. I was just providing that info to help describe what happened. Like maybe license keys don't have "compatibility" (android version) information attached in the store and are always available for download - regardless of phone/version; where the TiBu app itself would have compatibility info? My guess was maybe that's why the TiBu app wasn't showing up.

Thanks again.

I've been tending to avoid staying on this ROM for too long since I am so used to everything being so snappy in CM7 with glitch. But I am confused, as I see others saying that ICS is running much smoother. I'm OC'd and UV'd with no problems, but I'm suffering from lag. Luckily Build 9 fixed the frequent restarting of the launcher, but in general the UI frequently hangs and takes forever to accomplish the most simple of tasks. I'm running Autokiller Memory Optimizer (set to 40, 50, 60 and with screen off preset) my homescreens are absolutely full of icons and widgets except for 8 slots, and I have stuff like Llama, Facebook, and Swype running in the background. And force GPU rendering is on. Build 10 is even better, but it doesn't sound like what others are saying. What can I do to speed my system up?

Also, what is the official deal on browser sync as of now?

3g stays gray for some time B4 turning blue and if not blue I get no connection errors. happens every time or most of time I wake the phone.

when going to app drawer its very laggy and sometimes the icons are huge then zoom down to normal.

Trying to flash this for the first time, coming from Mosaic 8. I'm having issues while flashing (looks like when it's looking through device properties or something like that, scrolling through i897, etc.). I can get more specific if needed (I was trying to do it while grocery shopping with the family, lol, so I didn't write down the exact error). In the instructions it says "coming from CM7 or another ROM", but then other places it seems to prefer coming straight from CM7. Should I just flash CM7 first, or am I doing something wrong? Thanks!

Honestly, seeing add this is a alpha ROM, I'd advise FTS/MC, install CM7, and then flash the ROM. It will reduce you're chances of things going wonky too much.
