[Captivate General] pmpntl:
Need to return this. I've been waiting on two fixes, and they haven't come...

1. Random Powering off (i use no setcpu, widgets, etc, i'm rooted, did a factory reset, etc).

2. GPS Fix

2a. Waiting on 2.2 Froyo could be forever on AT&T.

I'll return to my crappy iphone 3gs, until the problems on the 1st batch of phones is fixed.

main thing is the random powering off, gps, i've started to live with, but is really annoying once you become lost while driving and REALLY need directions fast w/o fumbling around on your phone.

I do love the phone.... just wish it was really reliable.
[Captivate General] iamamp3pimp:
Hopefully youll be back soon.

if its just turning off randomly i'd be pretty annoyed with that as well.
[Captivate General] Lendal4:
I'm sorry if I'm being naive but, if it were me, I'd try bracing up the battery with a thickness or two of card stock paper to see if the problem was just a loose battery.

That would be easy and free to try and it just might solve the problem.
[Captivate General] dirtblade:
I've replaced my original captivate due to random shutdowns. Since then there was no single power off problem for me.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
The random powering off issues sound like a hardware defect you should definitely return that phone.
[Captivate General] michintom:
Sorry to go a litte off topic but how do I do a return through AT&T? I still have all the original equipment, box, return label, and everything. I'm tired of this random shut down + GPS issue as well.
[Captivate General] saint168:
Bring everything to the store.
[Captivate General] droidal:
I'm sorry your having probs, but I still believe this is the best phone on the market and I could never return it other than to get another one. Chances of you getting another one with the shut off issues are slim.

The GPS fix and Froyo are not far off and in my situation I can wait. I understand others rely on their GPS more than me. I just couldn't give up all this Galaxy S has to offer.:)
[Captivate General] systoxity:
he's a troll dont answer him. What in the world is the purpose of creating threads saying, im bringing it back?
[Captivate General] michintom:
I'm really bad with directions and the map application is great if the gps ever worked correctly. I called about 10 at&t stores and couldn't find any store that had the iphone 4 in stock. I still have till next week to return the phone. I guess I still have some time to re-think everything.
[Captivate General] dmnall:
I do know that mine will freak out once in a great while and shutdown or require a battery pull but not enough for me to take it back and exchange it for an iPhone! If you really want the iPhone that bad why didn't you buy it instead? I bought the Captivate because I wanted a high end android phone and I did not want an iPhone because I am not a huge apple fan. Like if yours is shutting off daily then I would suggest return the phone and exchange it for another Captivate, my gps works fine with out any issues.

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate General] TPA_Droid:
On my second captivate and I have experienced both of them shutting down on me. It's still not a reason for me to return this phone and that wasn't the reason I happen to be on my second one. Problem only occurred after the phone was rooted and some non market apps were installed.
[Captivate General] BigJayDogg3:
If it weren't for the fact that I'd be returning to a first Gen iPhone or a Nokia E63, I'd return mine until the community developed more.

I like the hardware but I'd really like vanilla android. Even stock eclair. The GPS issues are able to be overlooked. I did it with my Fuze for the longest.

Sent from my Samsung Captivate.
[Captivate General] systoxity:
god that fuze was just balls.

ne way, mr. troll, phone should never be locking up and requiring a battery pull. go get a new one.
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
EXCHANGE IT!

as of august 1st, firmware 2.1-update1 has been released. it fixed ALL of those problems! (I had the random shutoff, gps probs, and my fbook barely synced)

definitely worth the exchange and its FREE!
[Captivate General] systoxity:
what

new firmware released? will i get it if i check for updates?

have i been under a fkin rock or something?
[Captivate General] V DidDy 210:
apparently i've been misinformed, check my other thread and see if yours matches up
[Captivate General] Paul108h:
I swapped mine for a replacement 3 days ago because of the random powering off issue, and this morning my new one was off when it should have been sounding an alarm to wake me up for work. I actually had to pull the battery to get it to work again. Then two hours later, while I was using it, it shut off again. It's an instant-off. The screen just suddenly goes black and it's all dead until it gets manually powered up again.

I've got three days left on my 30-day return period, so I'm anxious to call the warranty folks tonight.
[Captivate General] matthewpapa:
weird. I have never had mine lock up.....ever.

its really hard to believe but its true. but then again I never do these so called "tweaks", I find that they tend to do more harm than good too often
[Captivate General] jbcap43:
My captivate had shut off randomly a few times, but every since I installed juice defender, and advanced task killer, it hasn't shut off at all.... as for GPS, that should be fixed with 2.2, but I don't use it that often, so not a huge deal for me, I say exchange, I'm sick of apple, I'm glad AT&T picked up a killer android phone!!

[Android Apps and Games] Shuze:
Hey guys,

Wanted to show you a application i have been developing for the last few months.

Do you ever sit in a endless phone tree wondering if you'll ever get to talk to a human?

Dialfaster gives you the information you need to bypass phone trees.

Two applications exist on the marketplace UK and US Versions.

In the UK we have 700 phone numbers plus dialing shortcuts.

In the US we have 500 phone numbers plus dialing shortcuts.

Features Include:

Save phone numbers you use regularly as a favourite.

Call-Log logs all your calls made to companies, so you can keep a record of contacting them.

Quickly search through all companies to find the one you need.

Updates regularly, so you always have the most recent dialfaster database.

View more info at dialfaster.com/app/

Sorry but i am still unable to post links

Just search for "dialfaster" in the marketplace
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
I am guessing since the list comes from a thirdparty, it would be futile to ask for a Belgian version?

I could really use this for work =P
[Android Apps and Games] Shuze:
Hey,

Thanks for your reply, this info doesn't come from a 3rd party, I have been working on the database for about a year now.

We have a website as-well @ dialfaster.com which does the same thing but is desktop.

The information for the UK has taken me along time to build up, calling companies throughout the day, and trying to work out the quickest way to reach a human.

Sorry but at present, we don't offer a Belgian version, currently working on iPhone, and moving over to other countries, so we might be doing European countries some time in the near future, but thanks for your interest.
[Android Apps and Games] Skye Menjou:
Alright, Thanks for your reply.

I will point people I know online to that app.

In IT and most other Office work its a big hassle to go through the IVR menus all the time.
[Android Apps and Games] Ethan01:
VoIP Phone System is one of the most widely used Avaya phone by most businesses to be able to contact people and businesses from different sides of the world in the most economical way. And since this phone system runs through the Internet, you don’t need any phone cable lines to get this working.

Hiya - I have the Desire and just got Wildfire for daughter - she is delighted-me less so as we have switched from PAYG to contract and I do NOT want her to go over her minutes, so have tried in vain to get the Mobile Account Checker from the Android Market. It shows up on my phone on the market, but not on hers! I tried scanning the barcode thing with her phone - not available. Tried with mine and bingo it is there. Any clues? I have it installed on my phone, but really need it for her!

[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Did you try to install via the website with Fastinstall installed and activated?

Just syncing with appbrain doesn't work.
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
1. download and install appbrain from market

2. download, install, and open fast web install from market

3. follow on screen instructions to let fast web install integrate into appbrain

4. visit www.appbrain.com search for your application and hit the "install" button on the appbrain website

5. the application should then be magically pushed to your htc wildfire,

if not: check that wifi or 3g is enabled. if it still doesn't work, try "manage my apps" -> "sync with appbrain" in the appbrain application and wait a few seconds
[Wildfire General] Skye Menjou:
Sync doesn't work since it opens the market page or tries to.
[Wildfire General] fishb00n:
i guess you're mixing it with "perform installs" :-)

i noticed that sometimes i click install on the website, but nothing happens. even when wifi is enabled ... so i did the steps @ #5 and it worked then ... just a personal workaround. nothing official :-)

I've tried 3 different 2.2 ROMS now on clean wipes and each one causes the video recorder to crash and reboot the phone within 3-4 seconds of using it.

I've tried ahmgskMod_Froyo, LeeDroid_v1.8 and now another less modded 2.2 ROM which the name escapes me right now... but the point is the video recorder function causes a crash then reboot on every 2.2 ROM I've tried.

I've also noted that the video recorder also crashes in any other format or resolution combination.

adb push (your file location/framework.jar) system/framework/framework.jar

adb push (your file location/libskia.so) system/lib/libskia.so

I have got the same issue.

As for the localization, download the attachment (newer version), rename it to libskia.so and paste it in your phone '/system/lib/' using the method described above or use DroidExplorer for example
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] omar302:
You can also use "Root Explorer", it is available in the Market for free.

Copy the file from your PC to your SD Card, then after you start Android, start Root Explorer & go to SD Card, locate the file (the new "libskia.so", press & hold on it and choose copy. Now go to "system/lib/" and paste it there overwriting the old one (make a back up so you can go back).

I personally used the "libskia.so" file & have Arabic enabled (read & write, not interface). But what is the other file "framework.jar" for?

The method I use that always works is the following:

In windows mobile, go to the "android" folder

create a folder inside "Android" folder and call it "root"

inside "root" create the folder "system"

inside "system" create the folder "lib"

copy libskia.so to "lib"

when you start haret.exe it will copy the file Android\root\system\lib\libskia.so to system\lib

That method screwed up my Android install completely (the dreaded PID errors)

Once I got Android [Froyostone V2] working again, I:

1. used Astro File Manager to:

copy the libskia to the root of the sdcard

check the available space in /system folder

deleted some ringtones from /system/media/

2. Used Terminal Emulator to:

su

mount -o remount rw /system

cp /sdcard/libskia.so /system/lib

mount -o remount ro /system

exit

3. Rebooted android

4. Enjoyed joined Arabic letters :D
