Colleagues, I found a way how to assign photos in good quality with contacts Android 4.0, not selecting them in the properties of the contact each time after re-flashing!

We need to do this:

1. find and install old program known to all users of Sony Ericsson - "My phone Explorer" www(point)fjsoft(point)at , this program develope not stop and currently supports synchronization of phones running under OS Android. The current version 1.8.2 of October 10, 2011;

2. program-client for you phone that you can download from Android market (find it at the words "my phone explorer");

Once Installed software (to PC and your phone):

1. you need to establish a connection between phone and computer (with USB or Wi-Fi);

2. create a new profile in the "My phone Explorer";

3. synchronize your phone with your computer - contacts appear in the program on PC;

4. then you can assign photos in good quality with your contacts in "My phone explorer" and sync the phone with your computer again.

And that's enough! In the address book pictures of good quality and not defective after resizing in the Google contacts! ;)

I hope everyone understood what I wrote... Excuse me for my terrible English! :rolleyes:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
that link is www.fjsoft.at

I have not tried to run this myself because I sync my contact list with Google.

So someone else will have to be daring enough to try it ;)

To be honest I dont find much of a difference though the bootscreen is now cyanogenmod 9 and I think its faster or maybe its just me..give it a try! and also try to flash icy glitch kernel v14b6 if you want an even better performance!

For stock, use a bootloader-free Odin or heimdall package. Unless you've never had gingerbread before, in which case you'll need bootloaders

No, you'll only get boot loader changes when you Odin to stock. Custom ROM's don't touch the boot loaders. But there are Odin packages without the loaders

Bluetooth DUN client?

I was poking around at a tablet the other day and they have an option to connect to the internet through a bluetooth device. That means the Captivate would be getting internet through another bluetooth phone. Does CM9 include this?

My Captivate with CM7 does not have this option and I've tried using pppd over bluetooth from the command line, but there are kernel modules that aren't installed, plus I'd have to grab a terminal to start or stop it.

Hey guys, help needed.

I have a captivate fully flashed an working perfectly on this rom, but when I flashed my girlfriend's phone the Imei of the phone os not loaded correctly, it shows a generic imei ending in 40000 and after while the carrier network refuses connection.

Another problem is that it does not recognize the external sd card. I have rebooted, waited for hours, manually tryed to mount the sd card but still wont load.

Both problems go away when I flash any GB ROM, phone works fine then.

Thanks!

is anyone else having gps issues with build 17 and the latest nightlies? I can't get GPS to get a lock in anything but the "GPS Test" application. I keep having to open "GPS Test", get a lock, and then open the other application that i really want gps for (run keeper). Before you blame run keeper, I also can't see any satellites with the GPS Test app.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pqee:
Not here. First lock after wipe/install takes a good minute but mine are pretty quick after that.

What modem are you using? Have you tried a different modem? (modem does affect gps doesn't it??)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kangi26:
I'd first ask, what ROM did you come from, and which one did you flash?

What you can try is flash to GB stock, copy the contents of your system/efs/ folder, onto your micro sd. Flash ICS, and if the IMEI is not correct, copy/paste your backup
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drwx:
I had the jv4 modem for the last 10 builds or so and hadn't had any issues. I just tried switching to the KG3 modem a couple of days ago and get the same thing. It seems as if the apps aren't able to initialize the gps. It works fine if i use GPS Test and then immediately open the other app. RunKeeper shows GPS as full strength and GPSStatus shows a lock very fast and several satellites. If I only open GPSStatus without opening anything else, It sees 1 satellite and can't get a lock.

Help flashing...

Hey all,

I was wondering if any kind, experienced users out there would be willing to help talk me through the flashing process for my specific situation. My cappy is currently rooted, running the last version of the Firefly froyo ROM (released last April). As such, I have clockwork recovery all ready to go. But I am confused by the switch from 2.2 to 4.0, and if there is anything extra I need to do besides Tibu backup, wipe, and then flash the new ROM using clockwork recovery. Do I need to flash a 2.3 ROM first? Is Tibu going to give me problems? Should I revert to stock first? Odin? Heimdall? I'm so confused!!

I know this is a deep question, so if someone wants to DM me instead, that would be amazing. Essentially, I'm looking for a step-by-step explanation of how to get from Firefly, a 2.2 ROM, to this or another ICS ROM, with the smallest chance of flashing complications.

Any good samaritans out there? THANK YOU!

Root your device and install ClockworkMod Recovery.

Reboot into Recovery using 3-button-combo

Do a Nandroid backup!

WIPE (wipe data/factory reset + wipe cache partition)

Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery

Optionally install the Google Addon

Any luck or help from this? I'm in the same boat. Several days ago gmail stopped updating, now it just crashes "Unfortunately, Gmail has stopped". I Too have this storage space 'error' even tho i have 40 to 70 percent available space depending on what you look at.

any thoughts?

i've been on build 17 since it's been out, and all sync had been working fine, over a week ago the "Low on Space" started showing up, not sure if or why it might be related, but it's irritating to say the least
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] billyjed:
Try using the disk usage app from the market to see what is taking up all the space in your datadata folder. Moving the biggest offenders to sd should help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] theyurtingyeti:
When I had similar problems disk usage was a big help. Although moving things to the SD didn't make a difference. I had some latent data stored in /datadata that I could not get rid of, and it was a significant amount.

Remember, you have a limited amount of space in /datadata which is small compared to the total volume of your SD card (237 MB sticks in my mind, but don't quote me).

Go to 'root' in disk usage to access the /datadata folder and see what's there. If there is a section of "system data", how much space is it taking up? Mine was A LOT. I had to go back to stock and do a master clear to get rid of it. No, formatting /datadata did not do it (still don't know why).

I hope that isn't your issue, cause it was a pain and there was very little documentation.

-Good luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] reom_76:
I think I re-flashed build 17 and that corrected the Gmail issue.

To remedy the low on space error, I moved all my apps to the SD and that took care of it.

Question about Nightlies

I've been using build 17 for a few weeks and love it. There are a few small bugs that I could do without, but nothing major. I'm thinking of switching to the nightlies, but had a few questions.

First, when you flash the latest nightly, do you also need to flash the Google Apps add on? Do you need to flash the add on every time you flash a new nightly?

Secondly, how are nightlies updated? Do I need to check the site every day, or will they be pushed to the phone?

Thanks for the help. I searched and couldn't find this info on the forums, sorry if it has been answered already.

Another question

What version of CWM Recovery should I run with ICS?

I am currently running version 4.0.1.5. I recent download on XDA offered CWM 5 for captivate. The Clockworkmod web site says the current version for the captivate is 2.5.1.2.

I attempted to bring this up to date with the paid Clockworkmod ROM Manager. ROM manager does not offer the Captivate as the current phone.

You have to flash gapps everytime. You have to check the website, it doesn't automatically push.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RootTheMachine:
Run the version that comes with it. That's all you need. Don't use ROM Manager for anything at all on the Captivate, except if you like getting your gapps from there. So basically, just flash the ROM and don't worry about what the recovery version is. Also that website is definitely out of date.

Hey kangi26, I think you should change the title of this thread to match pawitp's new dev thread for CM9, since it's a bit confusing to people who weren't around for the Team Hacksung dev thread

Good Call, thanks.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rciomper:
You can use the premium version of Rom Manager to download nightlies directly to your phone and install just like with CM7. You just have to go so settings in Rom Manager and select 'Web Connect' and do the one time set up. After that 'CyanodgenMod Nightlies' will show up as an option in Rom Manager under the 'Download Rom' menu. I found the directions to set this up by clicking on the Rom Manager icon on the CyanodgenMod Download site.

Just flashed cm9, from Serendipity 7. It works pretty good but I have a few of questions:

1. Am I stuck with this phone app? I really liked the gingerbread one where it guessed who you were calling by typing in a couple of numbers. Also the contacts app, I just liked the look of the old dark one. These phone and contact apps look weird.

2. How can I mod the drop down menu so I can add a silence button?

3. Is there a hacked camera for ICS that has a power button shutter? I don't understand how anybody can NOT want a power button shutter. Why isn't this default?

SO basically,, I'm looking for some mods to make it look more like gingerbread. Do I just basically have to go back to gingerbread?

Not waste battery for poor signal

Is there a way to optimize battery use for poor signal (wifi or data). My battery life is great until one of those signals is low... then the battery seems to constantly look for a better signal 'cause it drops pretty quick.

Is there a way to have the phone not do that? If the signal is spotty, there's no need to try to obtain something that may or not be there. I know I can shut down data / wifi, but if the signal is there I want to use it, if it isn't I don't.

I just don't want to phone working harder than it has to...

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:48 PM ----------

Is there a way to have the phone use the most appropriate source for data (wifi or cell tower?)

For example, if I'm outside in my yard I'm still connected to my wifi, but there's only like 1 bar, if that. I have full bars for ATT. If I try do to something, the phone uses wifi and it takes forever. I have to turn off wifi for it to start using data.

Are there apps/scripts to make that more automated? (If wifi < 1 and data > 3, use data) :-)

App dock scroll issue

Posting here due to inability to post in nightly topic as a bug report.

At time of issue:

Phone model: Captivate

Radio (baseband): i9000ugk3

CM version: 9-20120412-NIGHTLY-captivatemtd

Gapps version: gapps-ics-20120213-signed

The 5 icon app dock was scrolling horizontally after flashing to the nightly version above (full wipe/cache/dalvik fresh install). I showed many of my co-workers this function just to show it off. Early this morning, however, not ten minutes after showing the app dock horizontal scroll function to a friend of mine, it stopped scrolling. No matter how I swipe it or try to drag in apps from all different angles, I only have 5 icons with zero scrolling. I am unsure if this is a linked incident, but the app dock quit scrolling after I used the panorama function on the camera for the first time since installing.:confused:

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ app dock ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This rom took my captivate from craptivate:mad: to capf*ckingawesomevate:D so I really don't mind a minor thing like the scrolling app dock ceasing scrolling functionality.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Goldyn:
Trebuchet is showing as a cached process. The screencap I linked to does not belong to me and was only in my post to show the app dock (because every google search for android/app/home dock showed either car dock or a third party launcher like golauncher). Also, I did not use my own screen cap because it was faster to link to a preexisting photo than to take a cap with my captivate and upload it somewhere to link it here. BTW my friend is now running the same rom as me (latest nightly hacksung cm9) and his home app dock scrolls but mine does not. After comparing everything I can think of, I have not come up with any noticeable differences. Maybe I'll just wipe everything and freshly install nightly again. Since nobody else seems to have this issue, and I can't seem to recreate the process on my friend's phone, it really isn't important. I was playing around with just about every feature my phone has to offer, showing it off to my buddy (EVO 4g owner) as kind of a "my old phone is more awesomer than your new phone :p" kind of thing...then one not-so-important feature stopped working and he proceeded to laugh at and mock me lol.

Is this ROM still supported by Team Hacksung

This might be a dumb question, but I'm just wondering if Team Hacksung has changed the threads in the developer's section for this rom? I'm on Build 17 and haven't seen a new build in a while nor do I ever see it on the first page of the Captivate Developer section anymore, where I used to see at the top of the list all the time. I've seen there are CM9 nighties, but has the rom officially become CM9 yet or is it still in alpha (it's what it says on their developer page)?

I have been having a very annoying issue since the early builds and continuing until now. The phone app will on occasion stop working completely. I will try to place a call and I can hit the call button or the contact as many times as I want, but the call won't get placed.
