slow 3g

i've been having an issue with my 3g, i cant found any solution what so ever.

- the 3g is too slow i've changed my modem so many times that i figured out that is not a modem problem..i tried to change the access point's configuration but didn't work out either....i cant browse anything, can't recieve or send files....

is there any 3g fixer or something?

some help could help me please :(

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] speedy_11:
Try cleaning media storage and music data + reboot (to activate media scan).

The captivate has a tri-band 3g radio (2100/1900/850 MHz). Maybe your carrier uses the 900 MHz for 3g. That might be the root of your problem

The captivate is a quad-band phone! Know your phones specs before posting fake ones

I am having these issues with Build 7.1:

I don't use the Music app at all. But, if I unplug my wired headset, sometimes it says "unfortunately Music has stopped." I have tried force stop, clearing cache, data, from the app panel, also cleared cache and davlik cache from CWM recovery. No change. My headset is the standard Samsung wired headset that came with phone.

Sometimes unplugging the headset launches the Music app.

Voice Dialer: This app doesn't work. When I launch it, it closes after about 1 to 5 seconds saying "connection to headset lost". This happens whether or not there is a headset plugged in. When it closes, I hear what sounds like a dial tone lasting less than a second. When it stays open long enough it says "Listening" which flashes, but if I speak a command, like "Open calendar" it looks like it ignores it.

ICS 7.1 with gapps 5.1 is working great, much faster and very smooth. battery life is meh yet but it has been lately anyways. people with sync issues need to realize that if you are upgrading and the phone reboots (or rebooted) during, you have to go back and clear data/cache again, install ICS again, then flash gapps 5.1 BEFORE rebooting the device. This should fix all facebook, market and calendar sync issues.

I have been using the teamhacksung rom since build 9. At some point (build 11 maybe?) the sound is disabled when docked in my car windshield mount. Actually, I imagine its being routed to the dock sound port, but I don't have anything connected to it. Is there a trick to switching this?

When I searched for this, I found some posts about people who wanted the opposite behavior - to switch to the dock sound when put into car mode, but I haven't seen my issue. Going to try build 15 today and see if it works, but since I haven't seen any mention of it, I'm guessing it hasn't been addressed.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Rom manager will probably come into place when the builds are set up to download from there and should work to install roms and gapps. It works for cm7 properly on our pbones. Teminal emulator i have also always wondered about since it is an older version than from the market. But it is safe to delete it with tibu. I am guessing it is in there for those that dont flash gapps so they can still make changes via terminal emulator for testing and such.

I have the same problem, device identification assert fails and there doesn't appear to be a way around it, I tried editing it out of the installer script but then the flash just straight up fails with no error message.

This is on a SGH-i896 (Rogers Captivate)

I'm going to try flashing another rom and then flashing build15, it might be related to the fact that the device is identified as i9000.

Devs please update to take into account roms that identify the phone differently or allow us to ignore that assert.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WindRunnerXC:
This has been an issue in several of the past builds. A quick search of this thread would show that there are a few documented ways around it. But yes, the i9000 based ROMs seem to be the ones causing the issue. Flash a good i897/i896 build and/or kernel and you should be fine.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Just download this file, move it to your sdcard, flash the kernel reverter.zip file.in cwm, then before rebooting flash the full cm9.zip let it reboot, then use the extended power menu to go back to recovery and flash gapps. This is just the kernel from cm9 with a kernel cleaner. So bootup time will take a bit to rebuild all the caches.http://db.tt/o1IOmK4d This will get rid of your get.prop failure issues.

If you look more closely, you will see that there is no * next to WCDMA 900. I have tried unsuccessfully to enable WCDMA 900 in the past, but it could be that I was not using a modem with WCDMA 900 support. The Armani modems should have support for 900 Mhz, so it may be worth flashing an Armani modem and then see if you can enable 900 Mhz.

It is quite possible that the hardware is capable of quadband UMTS support, but actual frequency support depends on the modem in use. It is also possible that the hardware cannot do 900 Mhz and Samsung just made the menu the same on all GSM SGS phones.

Ok, so before flashing Build 15 I decided to check out the other ICS rom out here (rc4) just for funzies. Turns out not a great idea.

According to google, some say status 7 is an out-dated CWM Recovery I think. Well, I thot I dont mind going back to stock and then working my back to ICS but the new ClockWorkMod app is weird. It says it doesnt support Captivate (MTD) and to use the already installed recovery which I wouldnt have if I go back to stock, right?

If I understand correctly, it has something to do with CWM/i9000 ROM/i897 ROM conflict. I 'think' you need to go back to stock, and start from scratch(Which I tend to always do anyway). i think there is a work around, but I always believe in starting with a fresh install

Poor battery life?

I just flashed build 15 on my AT&T (unlocked and using on rogers in canada) captivate. While I love the progress thus far on CM9, it's very fast and seems relatively stable, my battery life is terrible (which I always found was the case w/ CM7 as well)

I have a 3750mAh battery installed, and on a gingerbread ROM I was getting almost 3 days with pretty heavy screen on time (almost an hour)

I put CM9 on last night and my phone was in my pocket all day and I come home from work and it's below 40% remaining.

Also of concern, it shows that I have over 4 hours of phone call time, when I haven't made a single voice call since changing ROMs. Has anyone else experienced this, or is this a bug?

Currently on Doc's Master ROM and people are having issues hearing me, never had this problem though when I was running CM9.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Depends on how you flashed to CM9. If you flashed to CM9 from a non-MTD based ROM (a Samsung based ROM), you were probably using the KG3 modem, unless you later flashed a different modem. If you flashed to CM9 from CM7/MIUI or another MTD based ROM, it kept whatever modem you were previously using. If you flashed from CM7 (etc) and never changed the default CM7 modem, then you were using JL3.
