[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
As far as I've seen, the cheapest I got mine was $80. Bad idea, too many issues, wasted money. Buying anywhere but swappa they're about 150$+. Swappa has one for $135 (hoping to buy that one actually, but either have to wait a week and hope someone doesn't buy it, or sell my pantech crossover faster so I have the money haha).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmntruexjr:
You just have to put "i897" or similar as an ebay saved search that notifies you when new products matching that description are posted.

I bought 1 cappy for $60 from ebay seller alltechwholesale, out of Texas I think. In my experience, they do a good job inspecting the phones first so you know what your going to get. In my experience and many others, the phone arrived in better condition than described....Then I picked up two more sold together on ebay for $70 that were listed as one bad digitizer and the other bad charge port. I got them as parts phones. The one with the "bad digitizer" ended up being just a bad search button because the screen lifted on that corner a little. A 50 cent tube of adhesive fixed that. Then the second of the two just had a dirty charge port and a squirt of crc electronics cleaner fixed it...Now I have a main phone, a backup flashed to be identical, and a media device!!

After taking this phone completely apart a few times it gets pretty easy to see it really is a mini computer and most of the major parts can be bought on ebay for decent prices and replaced fairly easy....The ribbons that connect the various parts can bend and break easily so that is something to keep in mind. I broke the ribbon for the headphone jack assembly but a little hunting on ebay and I had one on it's way for $1.50 after shipping lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
Haha yes, I can relate to the mini computer aspect. Just spent my day repairing about 8 hp Touchsmarts, the cappy compared to that, is a dream lmao. Much less to deal with :). I planned on using the cappy I have now as a spare part phone anyway, unless I can somehow get it to work. But I didn't know about the whole ebay thing. I shall do that now, thanks a TON :fingers-crossed:

EDIT: Just checked alltechwholesale ebay store, SO MANY CAPPYS FOR SALE!!! All around the same price, seems they put it up for 0.99 and someone keeps jacking it up to $70 shortly after. My only thing -- I hate auctions :P. But great share and bookmarked :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmntruexjr:
yeah, alltech is just auctions but I just took time to read conditions and saved a bunch and you'll find that they go for different prices depending on what's wrong and even depending on the day or time of day lol......That's why I suggested saving the search too. I use the ebay app and when there is new listings of my saved searches I get a notification so I go and look. If your quick, You can possibly snag a "buy it now" at a decent price depending on the condition your looking for. I really couldn't believe I ended up with 3 100% working phones and maybe I just got lucky, but I'd say it's worth a try lol.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
I'd say it was a combination of good research, and amazing luck hahaha. But I do appreciate it a lot, thanks for the info, cheers :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rmntruexjr:
Sorry we kind of got off the subject, But for the digitizer try what Bwolf said about the connections.

Once when I was testing the power button I soldered on my old cappy I didn't get one of the ribbons all the way on (i believe it was the ribbon near the power button), and the screen flashed a few different colors.

There is at least one probably more youtube vids with pointers on how to get the cappy apart in a way that wont do damage.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
I know there's a tare-down guide here, and there was a YouTube video where someone replaced the screen, if I can find it on my history I'll edit this post :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lejolasho:
i have checked and now i am sure, that the screen is broken. I live in a state, that is not supported by paypal and and where can i buy used captivate for parts with my credit card?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] x0ne215:
The only place I can think of would be ebay, if you can find a seller who accepts things other than paypal. Or you can try craigslist.

[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve17harris:

It's all on , still have problem.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] qoreQyaS:
I had the same problem. After I found out what to do i still didn't find it again after reading this thread.

But I finally found it again.

Sort Apps Alphabetically, find Google Settings. Goto location settings and allow Google apps to access your location.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cao0215:
I m 100% sure opening all, but still unavailable.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] steve17harris:
All I done was, turn google services on. Try turning gps on and off again. Or reinstall gmaps.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiscipleOfKane:
I've found that GPS location is working fine for me but network location is not returning anything.

It shows up in some apps like google skymap that try to get a coarse location instead of gps, none of them can get a fix.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiscipleOfKane:
So I tried a repair, no difference.

Then a factory reset and finally google location services work.

So chalk that down to yet another bug that may be fixed by resetting.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Warren.D:
Should of just cleared data and cache in apps management. Google maps can be finnicky and this normally always sort it out.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DiscipleOfKane:
It wasn't just google maps though, I tried a few different apps.

Things like flight radar and google skymap which use coarse locations.

SkEye was very handy as it asks to set a location and lists the gps location and the network derived location.

The gps would get a lock quickly outside but the network one would stay at waiting for location for ever.

Since the reset it is instantly populated.

Of course after you set a location it crashes but that's a SkEye issue.
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tamir_89:
The easiest thing to do was get into Google setting app that was preinstalled and enable the location thingy... Even tho I enabled it in phone settings, the switch in Google settings app was off, and I couldn't use maps, but as soon as I found this settings in app it worked straight away
[Xperia Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] biffsmash:
I had the same problems.

I've found that clearing all the settings or factory resetting, then turning all the location based settings, and then immediately restarting the phone afterwards, leaves you with a box at startup asking whether you agree to google collecting anonymous data etc and clicking allow now means maps works fine.

Clearing cache and data for maps should also do the trick as long as you restart the phone as soon as you've turned on the options.
[MDA, XDA, 1010 General] martin k.:
Hello to everybody!

I just signed in to this forum and browsed through the postings. There's already tons of info and I found several valuable tips, but I miss one or two topics:

How to enhance transcriber text input to be able to comfortably use it for more than one (default) language?

The reason for this is quite simple: I usually use my german OS settings, but frequently want to write english or maybe french emails.

Transcriber does not support text input other than OS default language, so recognition of english text is quite poor and takes a long time to enter without typo.

Any hints?

And then there's something on GPRS and roaming: I just discovered that EG in danmark there's no O2 GPRS roaming partner, but unlike with a T-D1 device, with the O2 XDA I can not use GSM instead, and customer support says it doesn't work because they don't have a roaming partner and that's it. I do not believe them: There must be a way to route the connection through GSM networks to OS germany.

The default GPRS settings provided by O2 were a bit unstable even at home, but I found better settings which now work quite reliably. I think there may be GSM settings O2 did not provide for whatever reason, but which will nevertheless work. Am I wrong?

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Hey all so I'm fairly new to this whole world of rooting and flashing custom ROMs (although I know how to) and I had just a couple of questions. I was thinking of flashing CM10.1 but I'm unsure of which to flash, should I just flash the most recent snapshot or the most recent stable version(10.0)? Is it more experienced people who typically flash the nightlies? I tried posting on the CM forums but they are incredibly slow.

Also, I know that there is no "best" ROM but I would like to know: what ROM are you on? Why did you choose it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
Personally I need my ROMs to be pretty stable for work, so I won't go with nightlies because they can vary in reliability somewhat.

I had avoided CM10.1 based roms for a while because I was worried about stability. My first couple of attempts didn't go so well. Lately though I've found that most all of the 10.1 based ROMs have been pretty solid and just vary in features and looks more than anything.

After using various stock ROMs (all freeza's), I switched over to LiquidSmooth for a while. When Carbon split off I followed that thread for a little while, but the last release just didn't work that great for me and I switched back to LiquidSmooth. I've found it rock solid stable, excellent battery life, and all of the AOSP features I need.

I think you'll find an extremely wide array of opinions on the ROMs. Everyone likes different ROMs for different reasons. It took me a solid day of flashing various ROMs when I first started out, so take your time and try everything that looks interesting. There are some amazing developers around here!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Thanks! I figured there would be a range of opinions but still wanted to ask. So does that mean I have to wipe data/cache and flash the new nightly every time it comes out?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
No, not necessarily. The trick though is that you can never be certain where your issues may be coming from if you don't do a clean flash (wiping everything). You'd be amazed at how many completely unexplainable little nagging bugs show after a few consecutive dirty flashes. So by dirty flashing a lot of the time you don't know if the latest version has bugs or if the dirty flash is causing little issues so you've essentially added another layer of troubleshooting difficulties to the issue. You'll also find that 99% of the time if you haven't done a clean flash the devs will tell you to do a clean before you try anything else when reporting a bug. That kind of says something.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Sooooo I'm just gonna go ahead and assume I should buy titanium backup pro haha
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Vfan23:
Support the developer if you can afford it, if not the free version has the main features you'll need.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Oh I plan on it :D I love supporting open source developers, means more for everyone!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] GiantJay:
Wipe data/cache/dalvick for a clean install. Possibly even internal sometimes. Just make sure whatever you are flashing is on the external card, such as your ROM and GAPPS.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
Oh thanks for the tip and do I have to wipe them in that order? I feel like it's always listed that way for a reason

Also what ROM are you on and why did you choose it?
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] JoeFCaputo113:
I would HIGHLY recommend to you Liquid Smooth RC2. Its blazing fast, amazing battery life, loads of customizations, Android 4.2.2 and it is based off of CM10. Just try it out and you'll never flash another ROM! ;)
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
I've been deciding between CM10.1 and liquidsmooth lol but I really can't decide between any of them
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
Once you start flashing, you'll probably never want to stop.

I might suggest going with a pure CM 10.1 to get an idea of things. Then go to one of the 4.2.2 ROMs based on 10.1 so you can get a gauge of the differences. Right now though my vote is LiquidSmooth for the ROM.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] sevenpioverthree:
I think I'm just gonna go with LiquidSmooth then

I have another question, do I have to flash my gapps RIGHT after the rom? or can I just do the rom and all other apps after I reboot and see what I have

And do you recommend using goo manager? It looks nice but I feel like doing it myself with adb is a lot safer
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Spuddlethud:
I use TWRP which allows me to queue up multiple zips to flash in one go. So I do the ROM and gapps.

Never took the ADB route for the S3, but that's just laziness. I used this to root and install the recovery. Then I just put the ROM and gapps on the SDCard and started flashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenzisor:
My Cappy is having some serious issues! It used to run slimROM 4.2 and untill the night that it started illuminating the ceiling of my room with the ATT bootloader logo. I woke up checked it out and... nothing would run. System kept rebooting without end. As I am a somewhat knowledgeable flasher ;) got into recovery mode and flashed my rom again. It went to the ATT bootloaders then it showed the slimROM logo as if it were to load it and then the screen went off. Dead!

I tried Heimdall SamsungCaptivate-SGHi897-UCKB2-Rooted-One-Click without any success.

Last, I tried returning it to stock using ODIN and this is the error message that I get

.

That's it. I think my /sdcard is dead. Are there any other possibilities and maybe a chance to bring my phone back to life? Please help!!!

I will be generous to anyone who can help.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
When you tried Heimdall, did you use a different USB port?

Also, is that quote from Odin/Heimdall? If so, you might wanna try other GB versions (Heimdall UCKF1 worked for me before when Odin KK4 didn't).

Another thing, do you have a external sd? If so, try booting with it in.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] frenzisor:
Booting of External SD card

I the quote is from Odin. What is extremely weird is that right after i posted this. My phone booted into GB. I then proceeded to see what my storage was doing and it turns out that I am somehow (I am not sure how this happened) i am running of my External SD card. My phone still can't see any internal SD card. Any suggestions?

Should i try to use ROM manager and flash recovery and try a ROM from there?

I am still worried that my Internal SD is not working.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BWolf56:
***First of all, don't touch ROM Manager, it doesn't do well with the Captivate.

Custom recovery is flashed through kernels with Odin 1.18 (or 1.17). You simply grab the .tar file and put it in the PDA slot while you phone is in download mode. (On stock GB, you'll want Corn kernel)

Now my guess is that your external sd needs reformat. Backup w/e is on it (same with your internal if you can access it from your pc) and full format it to FAT32. If that alone doesn't fix it, wipe your internal as well.

Are you using the native hotspot? I certainly have gotten it to tether on 4G.

[Sprint HTC EVO 4G LTE] tmwilsoniv:
Similar situation on this end... more or less resolved. Phone tends to default to 3G, even in the presence of good LTE signal.

1: Open settings, Mobile Data, toggle to CDMA only, wait for 3G icon to disappear on status bar, toggle back to CDMA/LTE,

2: With Mobile Data on and phone stable, reboot. Phone connects to 4G LTE after boot cycle.

These work for me only when the phone is in its place on the windowsill, seemingly glued to 3G. Note: I live in Baltimore with generally good LTE coverage. I would like to be able to change connection priorities in EPST so that the phone's prefered data connection is to LTE, but I haven't found and tricks to do that.
