I'll be willing to bet that number 1 is due to your finger on the notification bar. If you slide your finger across it, the brightness will change.

2. Bug with Google Voice, not a hardware problem.

4. Ringtone starts quietly so you have a chance to catch it before it gets obnoxious. It only stays quiet for half a second, and if your phone is ringing, half a second isn't going to make or break the call.
[Captivate General] deuX`:
I had a similar problem with Google Voice. I just deactivated the service for my phone number then reactivated a few minutes later, haven't had any problems since.

I'm not sure if that'll fix it for you, but you might want to give it a try--just go to your voicemail settings on the Google Voice website.
[Captivate General] mesasone:
Maybe, but I would agree that the option to turn it off should be available.
[Captivate General] k2snowboards88:
I bet the brightness problem is because you can change the brightness by sliding your finger across the notification bar. It's actually a very nice feature when you get used to it.

If I were you,i would go through the google voice mail set up again. I haven't had any problems with it at all.

Also, my ringtone does not start out quiet and then gradually increase in volume. Is it possible that the ringed you have tried are just recorded that way?
[Captivate General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
Thanks for the tip ob the brightness setting.

As far as I know the ringtone thing applies to every captivate so either yours is going it and you just don't notice it or you've got a special firmware or something
[Captivate General] nihiladrem:
I also missed my visual voicemail. I've found that YouMail is an effective if not perfect replacement (my only real gripe is it is a separate app not integrated into the phone app).
[Captivate General] Ptaaty:
That's too bad. I literally have none of those problems.

By far my biggest problem has been GPS, like others. However, with JH2, left all at stock settings I actually have good accuracy - even after 3 days - google nav has been right on. I used cardiotrainer and went for a walk and it was again completely on - better than my old Nokia N79, better than 5m accuracy.

Initial lock times were slow a bit over a minute (default has skyhook off). I put skyhook on yesterday, so I am interested to see if my improved accuracy after initial lock continues. What I have found is that all the suggested chances in the GPS fix might help initial locks, but went to crap after a day or so - and never really had the accuracy while moving. JH2 at all stock has lower initial lock speed, but must have a gps fw algorithm change leading to much better navigation / moving accuracy.

Bottom line - I will be shocked if Samsung doesn't have a 100% GPS fix next month (or with Froyo).
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I dont think you know what you're talking about in reference to Hotmail. I have a hotmail account and when you go to the browser and login to your hotmail account, all the options are there. Right in the middle of the screen is a "More" button, just click that and a list flies out and scroll down and "Move to" and the list of custom folders is right there. It has full functionality of the desktop site.

If you're trying to use the built-in email app to work with hotmail, dont. It wont work. You have to use hotmail through the web browser. Hotmail has a great mobile website.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
Yes, to activate google voice for your phone you have to go to the google voice website and follow the instructions there. You have to enter your phone number and what mobile carrier you are using and then it gives you a string of numbers and characters that you must dial from your mobile phone to tell AT&T to forward your missed calls to a google voice server/phone number.

Do that and it should work fine. I did and have had zero problems from google voicemail.
[Captivate General] cjpp78:
If you have brightness on automatic it will change screen brightness based on light in room. If you go outside it will turn brightness up. If your in dark room it will turn brightness all the way down. You can test by covering sensor on fron with your finger and see if brightness drops. If you dont like it turn off in settings.
[Captivate General] wildkarrde21:
Make sure auto-brightness is turned off...also, like someone else mentioned, the notification bar lets you adjust the brightness by sliding across it horizontally while the gray bar is showing. Neat feature once you get used to it, but it also confused the hell out of me when I accidentally slid it. Best thing I've found is to just flick the notification bar up and down quickly (vs dragging it all the way up or down).

Assuming you've set it up correctly (which it sounds like you have, since it does go to GV voicemail sometimes), the problem does lie on GV's end. They make it wait 25 seconds before GV will actually pick it up, so your carrier voicemail will intercept it if it's set to pick up sooner than 25 seconds. Until GV lets us decide how long it takes for it to pick up, you can sort of fix this with the following workaround:

1. On your phone, dial *#61# and click Send.

2. Some information should be displayed: number that the calls are being forwarded to and the delay before the forwarding engages (should be your gv #)

3. Dial **61*+1xxxyyyzzzz*11*30# and hit Send. +1xxxyyyzzzz is your GV #, 30 is the delay in seconds. The delay can be set in 5 second increments, 30 is maximum

4. Dial *#61# to verify that the new settings are active.

Unfortunately this means that it will take >25 seconds for it to send to GVoicemail, but it does reliably work.

As for the GPS, I'm optimistic that the firmware fix that Samsung has leaked will solve that and our lag issues, but I can see how that would be frustrating to some who want it to work now (as well they should). Sorry to hear that you're having gripes with the phone, but hopefully these solutions will alleviate some of your issues.
[Captivate General] cambridge4sale:
This is a feature. They built in a brightness slider when you draw the notification tray down a tiny bit and slide your finger from left (dim) to right (brightest)

ah sorry, didn't see the answer already. my bad
[Captivate General] AsSiMiLaTeD_77:
No offense, but your assumption that I don't know what I'm talking about is way off...

Clearly, I'm aware that you can manage folders using the web interface in Hotmail, otherwise I wouldn't have known how to create the folder initially that isn't showing up in the standard mail application. I thought it was obvious I was walking about the capabilities of the phone, as in the built in email application...

If I have to use the web interface to manage my email then what's the point of even having an email application?

The email application gives me almost the exact same functionality with Hotmail as it does with Gmail, I think you're mistaken that Hotmail won't work in the default email app. The only thing I get with Gmail that I don't with Hotmail is access to view what's in my extra folders, which really doesn't help because I can't do anything with items in those folders like move them around.
[Captivate General] cambridge4sale:
I 100% agree with you about moving email. That is one of my biggest gripes too. Also HTC DOES have this integrated into their mail program, and also folder hierarchy. I think it is just poor that Google didn't integrate these right into the stock mail app, and also that Samsung didn't in theirs.
[Captivate General] matt310:
I think not being able to take MMS photos vertically is annoying. I was used to it on the iPhone; I think vertical or "tall" images look better for Facebook mobile uploads, and I can't find a way to take them so they don't end up sideways in the MMS or mobile upload. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] ConceptVBS:
Whats reassuring is that almost all of your complaints can be address through a software update.

Its rumored that the GPS fix + Froyo update will be launched simultaneously or very close together.

I'm just starting to dive into App development for Android and one of the things high on my list to develop is an app to record FM radio. So far, I have not been successful in finding an API reference or SDK that allows me to interface with the FM radio. There is no mention of it in the Sprint Dev Guide for the EVO and a Google search hasn't gleaned much either. If anyone has or knows where I can find a good API reference or SDK for the BCM4329 chip that includes info about the FM radio, I'd greatly appreciate it.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaediil:
I did a ton of searching on this. The only thing I ever found was in looking at the source code from the OS that was released by HTC. That st least showed the API and the example code for the FM radio app from HTC.

All that bring said, it really did not help me any since the sdk does not provide the api, I still could not code anything against what I found.

Thanks, that's kind of what I was afraid of... guess that explains why no one has released any alternative FM radio apps... i'll keep looking though...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmeladdieari:
So, about 2 weeks ago, I got my HD2 off of Craigslist with a cracked screen. It worked perfectly fine with the exception of the hardly noticeable cracks. I knew I could get the replacement digitizer/screen for $40-80. I got my screen in the mail yesterday and, following the "YouTube" video tutorial found on this site, I......ugh.... replaced the screen....................I SCREWED UP BIG TIME!

First, I broke the ribbon cable for the Side "Volume Up/Down" buttons. Then, I broke the ribbon cable for the "soft keys." Ah, crap, but oh well. I figured I could use the touch screen for pretty much everything i needed to do. Well, while prying the cracked digitizer screen from the LCD, I went a bit too deep & peeled the tinted film off of the LCD. I thought nothing of it at the time. I'd already done enough damage. So the display would be a bit brighter than normal oh well.......WRONG! I put the phone back together and once I get it to power up, all I get is a white screen. I thought I missed something. So I disassemble & check 3 more times. Still a white screen.

Well, after all of this, the new digitizer/screen doesn't want to stay in place very well. So, being pissed off and curious, I pull it out and away and notice in the backside reflection of the digitizer that I can slightly make out the phone display. So, apparently the "Tinted Film" that I accidentally peeled off of the LCD makes images visible on the phone screen. I kind of damaged this film when peeling it off. Therefore, I am unable to put it back on. Does anyone know of a simple fix without replacing the LCD?

SORRY FOR THE "SHORT STORY LONG."
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jimmeladdieari:
I was brainstorming and thought that maybe the film was polarized. So, I grabbed my sunglasses, which are polarized, and wearing them, I can faintly see the display. Anyone think maybe polarized window tint might fix my problem?

I've got it functioning...

I found the film that I ripped off, put it over the screen and........I CAN SEE! However, the top half has lines through it. So, I must've damaged the LCD. The good news is that my phone is useable again. I just have to do everything via the touch screen and can't let the screen hibernate unless I have my charger close by. I'm just gonna keep my eye out for a cheap busted phone and eventually have a 100% phone again...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rihui:
I sympathize with you. I broke HD2 while I was trying to check for loose WiFi card cable(cuz i was getting weak WiFi signals). The cable turned out to be fine but the external speaker stopped working. I opened it up again and adjusted some parts and it just got worse. the HD2 didn't power on at all. I tried fixing it but to no avail. I ended up sending the HD2 to a repair shop and was charged $170 for the repair. the repair guy said i messed up the power IC and the connector for the external speaker and he had to replace the power IC and resolder the connector.

I think I'm gonna stop trying to open up expensive phones. :( i was stupid thinking that since I have successfully replaced digitizer for my previous Palm T3, E2 and T5, opening up HD2 wouldn't be a problem. Should have known HD2 components are really fragile... :(
