[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] skycamefalling:
I never saw something like this on my or my girl's HD2.

I would say, flash everything back to stock and try again.

If it's still like this, send your phone in for repair.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
i hope its not a repair job, as that could have been done under warranty when i first got the mobile on contract 3 months ago. if it was to go for repair, id have to do it under insurance, as i had also dropped it in the toillete a few months ago (dried out)

but this problem has been there since before that.

damn

Ill need to get toa windows machine at some point. as my pc is solely linux, so cant task29. the last rom i loaded i did task29.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
i installed a new rom. coukdbt task 29 cause no acces to a windows machine. lockscreen now works perfect. its not once became invisble even with lots of programs open.

however i still get complaints of no memory when opening images sometimes when just opera is open..vstrange. with no programs open pictures can be ipened
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] veda_sticks:
Update on progresss. Even the VBN showed very bugy behavious in regards to images, and loading of the camera ap. sometimes complaining of not enough memory even with just opera opening. So ive got access to a windows machine. went back to stock, removed hspl. So my phone is as it would be coming from htc. it doesnt have a t mobile branded rom.

everything works perfect as far as i can tell, ive not been able to reproduce the bugs. no matter how many programs i have open, images open fine. the whole device just seems alot more responsive.

So now im going to flash a custom rom and see what happens. But it looks like, the problem is solved so far.

Here is what i did

Performed a task29

updated with stock rom

used hspl3 to remove hspl

device bootup and so far so good.

Id recomend trying going complelty back to stock if you keep getting odd behaviour.

Hello,

Out of the blue my contacts tab (bottom of screen) is gone.

How can i get this back ?

Thank you !!

[Galaxy S I9000 General] nicoschoeters:
It's ok !

Go to programs, and then change order.

There you can swipe it back to it's place !

Thx,

At the moment the volume control only has 5 levels of volume. I'd like to have smaller increments if possible. When i'm listening to music it's either too quiet or too loud so i'd like a level inbetween.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Ghost_ghost123:
You can use your finger on the volume screen to give smaller increments, not sure if that helps or not!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] steviewonders:
Thanks for the suggestion but i've already tried that and it's still only at five different levels. I'm using the omega ROM though. Wasn't a problem before but this ROM changes the volume screen and other ones i've installed still only have five volume levels.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pckshd:
Volumex allows up to 16 leves for the speaker

http://volumex.jdbp.mobi
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] ProjektFuze:
what the OP is asking... is if there is a way... perhaps a registry edit or something along those lines.. which will make the volume raise/lower in smaller increments... downloading a whole new volume application is not a fix/solution... he is looking for a why to keep the manilla/sense version of the volume interface and tweak it from there... i know this, because i was looking for the same thing a while back.. but to no avail... so yea.. sorry OP... unless you want to use a completely different volume interface... you're kinda stuck... just get used to it... that's what i did
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
You can use THIS app to add your music app to the allowed list for use of the smaller 'media volume' control (the volume control you get on the sense music tab etc). This has more, smaller increments so you have more control.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] Eroc162:
Thanks pckshd I was looking for a program like this. Sweet
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
HA HA. With a name like pckshd do you happen to work for or be the creator of PocketShield and Volumex LOL. You've recommended PocketShield and Volumex a few times in the past.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] pckshd:
Hey! then man asked for more volume levels, volumex has that (and even more features he might find interesting). Was just a tip ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] point4:
I also found this tip very useful, i have searched this kind of cab for a long time. Thanks pckshd.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps] optiknerv:
There is possibly a free (or at least not a trial) solution in post 6^^^^^^

They've fixed the bug that kills the camera, hooray.

Useless without Skype, boo.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] INeedYourHelp:
Indeed. I wish skype would release an adndroid app that's just not for verizon phones.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] TravUK:
Cool, wasn't much use with the wrong camera, will try the update when i get home :)

Tested this today from Australia to USA on Fring.

Me: SGS

Friend: iPhone 3GS

Me: worked fine, front camera showing picture

Friend: worked fine.. with a mirror..:D
[Galaxy S I9000 General] yani2000:
I was using Fring on SGS with Samsung's headset and my friend was using GTalk on Windows and he said he could barely hear me :(
[Galaxy S I9000 General] wavemechanic:
My I9000 is very laggy. Not always, just most of the time.

Closing com.sec.android.app.samsungapps.una & Daily Briefings with TasKiller gets me back around 30 MB, available memory now back around 60MB & phone now useable.

I've found a couple of samsung apps in system/app, SamsungWidget_WeatherClock.apk is 8.9MB, I think that's the culprit. How do I stop it running? Do I just delete it? (I'd probably copy it to the SD card & backup just in case.)

Are there any others i should get rid of/prevent from starting?
[Galaxy S I9000 General] alovell83:
I use LauncherPro so I don't (can't) use any Samsung Widgets. However, I was using touchwiz for a while, I didn't have many memory issues with it. If the widget is running you can just click and hold the widget and move it to the trash, you don't need to back it up (it'll still be installed). There are many other things running that the Samsung TaskKiller doesn't pick up, that said, Android from what I read and see myself doesn't need much more than 30-50mb free at any time (though when I'm going to start surfing and doing a lot of activity I do try to free up around 150mb, just incase) and if you happen to push the boundary it'll free up memory for you.

If you want to be able to kill more tasks get ATK (advanced task killer).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] robnil:
After what ive read android dont page memory the way computers do, when it runs out of working memory. Reason is lack of memory i guess. But with several gigabytes of memory in internal storage, whats the problem?

With winmo I had to share working memory with installed software (if not installing on sd).
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Seifer1975:
No lah. Ram & rom, different.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
this are new apps available vibrant on the market,

I CANT FIND IT CAN ANYONE SHARED THE APK HERE

THEY ARE FREE APPS SO DONT WORRY

search on the market like this

"Car Home Samsung Vibrant"

"Desk Home Samsung Vibrant"

thanks
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] kizer:
I just did a search for Samsung Vibrant and there they where.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] bessertier:
Confirmed

I went to Cyrket to try to get you the barcode to download it, but its not up there yet, however if you go to the market and search "samsung" they are the 3rd and 4th app down
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] aalopez10:
root my phone and maybe it could be that, but i search on the market and it doesnt show it for me.

ANYone CAN POST THE APKS, please

Anyone notice the Car Home doesn't have the music player in the default screen? Quite a big omission I think to leave out music player for car use.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] diaa08:
same on droid and all the others... the car home app seems to just be a skinned version of the same app on droid from when i had it. on the droid people eventually made custom car apps with music player on them.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] ElahC:
Same with me I re-flashed my Vibrant to original following this thread: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=728698

Everything seems normal except I can't play my backed up Avatar movie and cannot find some market apps such as the Samsung apps.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] zephiK:
I see it 4th and 5th down when searching for "Samsung" on the market.

Rooted Vibrant as well.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] srqt:
same for me, also rooted.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] jblade1000:
ditto. I even asked the question in the car dock accessories thread, because i assume that these apps were on the phone but "hidden" and only activated when they were put into the samsung dock/cradle. Silly me :rolleyes:

P.S. the Home one hurts my eyes...but i love it! this screen is sooooooo bright!:eek:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyz88:
I was wondering if anyone else's Captivate has shut down automatically? It happened 3 times yesterday the screen goes into standby mode but if you try waking it up you had to pull the battery.

Last night I let it completely drain then completely charged it. When I picked it up it read 99% battery immediately. I went to get ready for work and check my email and it was shut off. I had to restart it again. Since then it seems as if the battery is lasting longer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
random shutting down

Okay so i had this problem but it only arises for me when i do a few things. i have spent hours scratching my head about what it could be and through process of elimination i found on my phone it was one of two things.

1.) make sure that if you are using the auto kill feature in ATK that its not set to anything above safe

2.) if your using setcpu with profiles selected and have a very low profile for when the screen is off then try ramping that profile up a little bit to give the phone a chance to run background processes a little easier and actually wake up when you want it to!

hope it helps and if you give me info about what is going on then that should help us help you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyz88:
I havent been using ATK at all. Also does SetCPU really work with the hummingbird processor? When it boots it always kicks down to 19.2 which is obviously too low. I removed it just in case. I also set it back to the default settings. I would really enjoy SetCPU to save battery if it works of course. I thought it only works on HTC devices and Motorola devices?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] domin8:
i had setCPU on my phone yesterday and it was freezing like you describe when trying to bring it out of standby. I pulled the battery twice before i said F-it and took the program off. If you were using setCPU i'd say that was your problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyz88:
I deleted SetCPU and I thought it might be Screebl so I disabled it. Sure as hell it just went to a black screen and shut off again. God this is beyond annoying. I dont want to have to bring back this great phone but I need the phone to work.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madjsp:
We've also got to think, Samsung just released this phone. The more we do to it from the market, the more things are gonna happen.

Most devs haven't had the time to really test and relay bugs from this phone that would cause other errors.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyz88:
Yes but if I am correct none of these issues will be fixed until they decide to release FroYo?

EDIT: I just tried removing the MicroSD to see if that resolved the issue. Shocker...it didnt...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] doug_s:
This has happened to me once. Came out of a meeting, pulled it out of my pocket, and couldn't get it to wake from sleep. I have not installed SetCPU, so it's not that. Not sure what the root cause was.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tbae2:
What apps do you have installed would probably be the more relevant question. And what have you changed?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THATTON:
Mine is doing the same **** and it is driving me NUTZ!!! I thought SetCPU first so I uninstalled and rebooted. Phone is still doing it. Please someone figure this out quickly. I am going through my apps one by one and uninstalling them to try to pinpoint the problem. Subscribing to the thread.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] _Opiate_:
Interesting.... I haven't heard this happen to me yet so its probably an application or process your guys all have in common.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THATTON:
I have a feeling it is setcpu. I just did a reboot after installing and now it is not happening. Cross my fingers!

I'm having the same issue and I never had setCPU installed. sucks..

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] irmoballen:
Like a lot of you, I started uninstalling my apps one by one when this happened. It stopped restarting after I finally uninstalled Launcher Pro. After that, the phone stayed on the whole night last night. It's weird because it worked with Launcher Pro for a good 2 days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CryptArc:
I'm also experiencing this issue, ad i've only downloaded a few apps.

Has anyone exchanged their phone over this yet?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spyz88:
I reflashed to stock firmware and I'm still having an issue. I noticed that if you take the battery cover off the battery and push on it then it seems like it has a little give to it. Can anyone who is not having this problem confirm? Also, anyone who has this issue, please see if your battery has a little give to it.

It should be on the side WITHOUT the contacts. Also, if this doesn't work I'm bringing the phone back. I already had a problem with the first one and since this is my 2nd exchange AT&T wont exchange it anymore. They told me I need to go through the warranty. They are out of their minds the phone isn't even a week old. Never had these problems with HTC...

EDIT: I uninstalled ADW Launcher as a test to see if thats it.

EDIT 2: Make sure the battery door is covered tightly. I pushed mine all the way down until it clicks. Hold it down and then close the slider. I think this actually might fix the issue.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] brisknfade:
Anyone figure out why this keeps on happening? I've reflashed the stock as well and it still occurs randomly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pongothemagnificent:
Strange this dosnt happen to me, and i installed setcpu(performance governor 1ghz/800mhz) but uninstalled it after seeing that it ****'s up gles 2 rendering...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DesertZero:
I found this thread via Google search, and I just wanted to add that my phone started doing this last night, however, I have not added anything to my phone, nor is it modded in any way. It's completely stock. The only thing I have done thus far was remove all of the extra home pages and rearrange some app icons, and that was on Thursday and Friday. It does it both when it goes to sleep normally or if I hit the sleep/power button.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] THATTON:
I narrowed mine down to SetCPU being underclocked while asleep. Bumped up the minimum clock and took off the profile I had set, phone hasn't rebooted in 4 days.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NoSlo:
Well, i won't have my new phone until at&t sends it...which should be within 7 days. I was 4 days out of the 30 day return window, so i had to call and talk with at&t.

My phone only shuts down when the battery is between 85%-70%.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksf01:
no shut downs so far, ever since i did the dimissing of the fully charged message. right now, my up time according to the phone is 296:54:28

fingers crossed....:)

@NoSlo,

Do we need to take insurance for 12 month warranty? or does it comes with all new phones?

I have taken mine from Wirefly.com, will I get the same ATT 12 month service?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] noequaliz:
No shutdowns for me since 26 August with a spare battery "made in china" from eBay.

Yesterday I put on the phone the original Samsung battery and when I woke up this morning... the phone was totally shut off and I had to pull the battery out and put the "made in china" battery again.

I think in my case is a battery problem.

Greetings!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88EVGAFTW:
Mine does it every few days, usually after a good charge.

Question, when you guys say "dismiss the charge message" do you mean, hit Ok and then unplug it, or Unplug the phone then hit Ok? :confused:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WeeklyWars:
I've had my phone for 5 days and I have the shut down problem. it will only turn back on when I take out the battery.

I've noticed its also only when I take it off the usb cable.

I was going to get setcpu and change it to 400 or whatever, but I can't root my phone because every computer refuses to see my phone connected to it.

someone suggested I get a regular charger from the store. I read everything on this thread and noticed no one mentioned if that helped.

I honestly believe the cause is the power settings but since I can't root my phone, I'm not sure what to do.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtrashcanfan:
I have had mine for a week. It shuts down sometimes every 5 minutes when idle. It seems to be more frequent when battery is battery is between 85%-70% as well. I tried turning off the Use GPS satellites, did not help. I have a replacemnt coming today from Amazon wireless. Fingers crossed.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Mike8203:
What this guy said! Can anyone having this problem dump their log so we can examine the events preceding the power down? Should provide some insight into the problem!

After shutdown and turning the phone back on.....i check the log through android systems and it shows no logs.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksf01:
I've been hitting OK and then unplugging it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcylcruzin:
UPdate: I've been having better luck by dismissing the "Battery Fully Charged" dialog and then dismissing the screenlock to get to home screen before unplugging the usb charging cable. Just dismissing the "battery fully charged" dialog doesn't seem to do it for my phone -still goes into coma periodically.

Summary: get to homescreen before unplugging the usb charging cable and seems to stabilize the phone for me.

At least for the whole morning -no more dreaded phone coma.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksf01:
well, after 2 weeks of staying on after doing the "dismiss the fully charged notification" drill, my phone shut down while i was using it! i'll continue to monitor it, but if it starts happening again, i'm going to have to get a replacement
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jcylcruzin:
Dang it! And here I thought we might be on to something. Well I'm gonna try my drill for a few days and then peel off some of the steps to see if it makes a difference. I'll keep you posted on status.

Though I'm waiting for froyo to since my initial 30days is passed and based on other posts could be power management causing this with samsung hardware -possible froyo would fix this.

Also, I'm about to change to a new SIM chip as mine is a bit old and worn -hoping this will fix my other issue... LOL! Great phone but unstable -just like my last Korean Girlfriend.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Singhman:
I said it before, i'll say it again:

My phone does this too..BUT...only in areas of bad reception. Is this the same as you guys? Someone on the i9000 forum also said they think its reception related too.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wuxingwarrior3:
I apologize if this question has been answered already but is this problem exclusive to stock builds or does the random shutdown problem transcend rooting and flashing new firmwares??? I just purchased a Captivate on ebay and praying that the phone isn't plagued by this problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksf01:
Mine shutdown today while i was walking into the office. something that i've been doing every day with the captivate. So, i don't know. This thing is so completely random!

I've got nothing to add other than it my phone just shut off in my bag while I was playing soccer. Also turned off during the night on sunday....not cool because then my alarm doesn't go off. It's got me super paranoid so I've resorted to using my alarm on my old phone as a back up. Ugh. help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
I had it happen on a bone stock unrooted device. I've had it not happen once on two totally rooted and customised, lagfixed, overclocked Captivates. I had my first phone replaced because of many random shutdowns and a hairline crack began to form in the screen under the glass and I never dropped it banged it or was rough with it in any way. The second just got replaced a few days ago because I called AT&T about the music player freezing, crashing, fluttering, and stalling and they told me to take it back to the AT&T store to be replaced, that was the one and only issue with it and I didn't want to return it, I had a protective skin on the entire phone that took hours to install. AT&T told me to return it so I did. The one I am on now, has never shut down randomly and the music player plays great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] garebear0506:
On setcpu on the captivate it must always be set above 200mhz or it will auto shut off.... Had the same issue
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] belayson:
well I emailed samsung about this issue and used this website as proof of how widespread the issue is and this was their response:

"Samsung is aware about this issue and currently working on a fix for the same. Your information is forwarded to the concerned department and once the fix is out, you will be contacted accordingly."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bigtrashcanfan:
I received my replacment three days ago. Its been fine so far. Not a single shutdown.

The previous phone, clean factory OS no apps, would shut down 8 - 10 times a day. It never made it more than an hour or two without a shutdown.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vksf01:
that's good news. hopefully they'll fix this and the gps issue!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 88EVGAFTW:
Today was pretty bad, the phone shut off a total of 6 times so far, never had to take the battery out. Everytime it happened the phone was just idling at work or on my bed. I turned it back on and it would shut off on its own a few minutes later or whenever I checked it. Battery is sitting right now at 42% says the Sense Analog clock.
