[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
Unfortunately they are lol kinda sad I agree. AT&T and Samsung don't differentiate between 3G, 3.5G, HSDPA, and HSUPA. They just lump it together as either "3G" or "H". The only way to tell what you're on is do a speed test, HSDPA should get you about 1.5 down .3 up and HSUPA should net you 3.0 down and like 1.5 up. To get HSUPA on my cappy I had to flash JH3, then flash the Modem.bin off the JP3 i9000, then the kernel off the stock vibrant, then remap the buttons (Volume up was the down and vise verse and the back and home button were reversed) and I had to turn off "Auto orientate". I lost GPS in the process but I think 5x the upload speed and 2x the download is worth it especially since the GPS was crap to begin with. I'm really really really hoping JM6 fixed it.
[Captivate Android Development] aqtrans:
The one thing I'm missing from this ROM is haptic feedback on the Home key. Does anyone know the name of the lib that controls this?
[Captivate Android Development] blackerwater:
I wanna know how you guys are able to flash i9000 roms to a captivate. When the vibrant is unable.

Correction: were able to flash the i9000 roms but the volume buttons get reversed and the home and back keys don't work or light up. And the phone acts retarded.

Wonder how I can fix this...

[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Are you flashing a Vibrant kernel after this ROM? The i9000 kernel has all of these things swapped (as I understand it..)
[Captivate Android Development] Clienterror:
What you do is flash the CSC file and the PDA file (from whatever i9000 rom you want). Make sure "reboot" is unchecked. After it finishes it says "reboot", close odin3 , unplug the usb and pull the battery. Put the battery back in and put it into download mode (whatever key combo is for vibrant) start odin3 again then plug in the usb again then flash your kernel for your phone and let it reboot when finished. That's how we do it.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 (My phone is having and identity crisis, it boots to an i9000 screen then a Vibrant screen then loads the captivate rom lol)
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
You need to flash the stock captivate kernel after loading the rom or some things wont work.

Home Button functions as Back button.

Screen is rotated 90°. (Not a huge issue as there is a Notification button to disable rotate.)

Speaker/Headphone logic seems reversed, will only play audio through speaker when headphones are plugged in.

Proximity Sensor is not functioning.
[Captivate Android Development] blackerwater:
Thanks for the reply guys. I tried this method and it works great.

So I used the Navigation with the FJM6 firmware today -

I still had a difficult time getting a lock while moving (60 mph)... although it was slightly better than JH3 once I did get a lock- It did not jump me all over the place as much

As far as getting the satellite locks - it seems like I get more locks and faster locks with just using GPS Status or LBS menu than when using Google Maps - Anyone else having this issue? I can get a lock by my window in 5 seconds with LBS get position test - but it takes 30 seconds in Google Maps
[Captivate Android Development] dalingrin:
I would be surprised if a using a rom while using the stock captivate kernel is going to make a substantial difference in the GPS performance. I think the issue is in the driver.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
If you don't think there is substantial difference all I can say is you clearly haven't tried it.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
This may be true that we will not have a 100% fix until we get new driver in september but this rom's gps\speed is better then any other rom I have tried. It makes my gps very usable.
[Captivate Android Development] darcjrt:
I just installed this fw but sre does not works....anyone?? Thx
[Captivate Android Development] dalingrin:
The only major problem I have with the GPS is with accuracy while driving. This firmware with the captivate kernel didn't seem to help.
[Captivate Android Development] votum:
I can't get it to flash for the life of me. Odin3 seems like such a shoddy piece of software. Anyone have any tips??

I am on windows 7 and running it in xp sp3 compatability, and as admin. The 1 click restore works maybe every 3rd time...I always have to pull the battery and restart until it shows a progress bar.

Trying to do this I first try and flash the pit alone, it freezes at the 4th step..flashin pit I think. Never moves past that, let it sit 12 hours. 5 seconds after it hits that stage I pull my battery and it shows the little phone and compuiter symbol, so I know it did something, but wont finish. Tried flashing just the rom also, same deal
[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
go back to page 4 and I had posted how I did mine..and worked with no problem but Im on vista tho..hopefully that will help you
[Captivate Android Development] sfernandez:
I loaded the stock kernel and the 512 pit and no go on sound any ideas?

I even tried re doing kernel &512 pit and factory reset..an still nothing

Edit:

I am a dumb ass I figured it out i started phone instead of leaving in recovery and adb reboot download so it wasnt installing kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
*sigh*

Yesterday, I would have swore the GPS was fixed. Today, I can't get it to work at all with this ROM. Accuracy is all over the map driving using My Tracks... I tried deleting the GPS data, rebooting... Nothing. Very frustrating, since it worked so good just yesterday (and the day before).
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
After using this rom for the past 3 days I find my tracks (at least for me) is not good at all while driving but navigation works much better than it did, but my tracks still accurately tracks me walking.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
There is something that makes the gps go crazy after a few days. Try following the clear gps data guide once you start having issue. Make sure to do the first step with the reboot. This should get you going again for a few days.
[Captivate Android Development] Dxtra:
Sorry to say, but quit trying to fix the GPS people. It's broken and only Samsung could fix it. I gave up long time ago.
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
I tried clearing the GPS data via LbsTestMode and rebooting during my trip and it didn't help... is there something more to it? Where is the "clear GPS data" guide?

Attached are some examples of today's GPS test with XFJM6... :(

These ROMs we are flashing are from Samsung, and there are noticeable changes between each ROM. I was very impressed on the GPS performance after putting this one on my phone... just wish it lasted :(
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
This thread should be called 'Roller Coaster' :p

Just read it all, very excited, and finally the letdown that ultimately this too fails.

[SIGH] [/SIGH]
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
What steps are needed to go back to the stock rom now? I haven't done this many flashes (kernel/csc) for one ROM thus far - I've only done the PIT file and TAR file..
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Hrm... another GPS theory?

Just saw this was part of the unofficial froyo update for the i9000:

"12) GPS has an additional option - use sensor aiding - which says

"Sensors enhance pedestrian positioning and save battery power. When indoors or underground, sensors work best if handset is aligned with direction of movement. Distorted magnetic fields will affect performance."

So maybe that's the big fix that's supposed to help, using the internal compass?"

Interesting to think about... a few days after I flashed my Captivate, the GPS went from great to terrible. Maybe I just need to re-calibrate the internal compass (e.g. wave the phone around in the "compass" app)? Sensor aiding might be permanently turned on in our firmwares, and the new version makes it an option. When our compasses become uncalibrated, the GPS gets all messed up...

I will test this theory on the ride home from work today (delete data, reboot, calibrate, My Tracks) :D

Its fine though. Its a **** software from what I have seen so far. Someone should really look into updating it...Iknow Im not the only one with issues.

Ill just wait for real roms i suppose :(
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Theory busted... GPS is still terrible.

/waits for the next "fix".. :( c'mon Samsung!
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Am I the only one who flashed this the day it was posted and still have gps working fine without re-clearing gps data or anything like that?
[Captivate Android Development] dalingrin:
Define "working fine."

If by "working fine" you mean that while using the GPS in a moving car the GPS never loses a tight lock, then yes. You are the only one.

It is pretty rare that I can drive around in my car and not see the "blue circle of ambiguity" pop up around the my location marker. Oh how I miss my Nexus One.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
Work fine as in yes i occasionally get the big circle, when between tall building etc, but it finds me again without the circle within 5 seconds and has yet to miss a turn or display me on the wrong road and my tracks still tracks accurately while walking.
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
I used the update.zip file from this post:

http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=7884031&postcount=169

To "re-install" the XFJM6 GPS goodies... I only tested halfway of my ride in to work, but results are very good... track was just as accurate as when I first flashed. Of course, I'll have to test more on my ride home today to see if it just wasn't another "blip"... but maybe one (or more) of the GPS files installed from this ZIP get bad data / corrupted, causing it to go wonky within a few days?
[Captivate Android Development] anosis:
I might be another one that has had good results with this rom. I installed it on Saturday and used the Google Nav software going to work and driving around.

Here what I did:

1) loaded code and CSC (used the canadian version)

2) loaded captivate kernal

3) applied the no lag fix via the "Tayutama's Update.zip method"

4) GPS settings (#*#*1472365#*#*) have been left as is - they are stock

Here my observations:

- Initial lock takes between 10-15 sec

- accuracy right after the lock is within 15-30m

- 30 sec to 60 sec later accuracy goes further down to 5m to 10m

- driving at highway speeds tracks fine, no overshooting in corners or random street switching (Nav software seems smoother than before, maybe due to the lag fix.)

- in the GPS settings tracking screen I get up to 12 satellites and up to 11 have a lock.

This is only day three for me so if anything changes I will post again.
[Captivate Android Development] shep211:
Thank you for the update. I have updated first post with a link to update.zip
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
@cropythy

what steps did you take when flashing the rom? as you don't seem to have any issues with gps like everyone else.
[Captivate Android Development] cropythy:
I flashed using he standard method, used the xfjm6 in pda and the csc file used by shep with autoreboot unchecked in odin then flashed the stock captivate kernel and the pit512 file with autoreboot checked. I also changed to MS based in gps settings and that is it.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Is the DBT CSC file in English? I used the DBT csc file first but couldn't get connected to the AT&T network (I think it was in English but can't remember as I had to flash a few to get it right).
[Captivate Android Development] phr00t:
Did some more testing... track started out good, but then quickly went bad.

My conclusion: XFJM6 is the best GPS experience I've had with the Captivate, but it is still very unreliable.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
In summary there is no point to flash to this ROM or update.zip since GPS performance is still hit or miss?

Anyone want to bring a laptop with them to try the ddms.bat and grab GPS debugging data?

Indoors I grabbed a lock, accurate to 5 meters in minutes. Course I had to disable WIFI since it was acting real stupid with it enabled.

I have a question about changing 1 part of a theme. I have a theme that I downloaded from the SkyRaider ROM. I love the theme except for the Signal Meters. I want the default Signal Meter back.

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] gamescan:
This isn't a complaint, just a bug report. ;)

System: Sprint TP2 (Rhod400)

Build: [MJG]Rhod.2.2Froyo.082610 w/8-27 sound patch (modules-2.6.27.46-01149-g74aec59.tar and update zImage)

Install Type: Clean Install

Problem: Voice Search does not initialize the mic.

To recreate:

1) Boot into Android.

2) Start Voice Search.

Voice search will fail as no sound will be recorded. However, voice search itself *does work* if you start it with the mic active.

To see voice search working:

1) Boot into Andorid.

2) Make a phone call.

3) End the call.

4) Immediately start voice search.

5) Voice search will record the sound (you will see the mic icon flash white) and run the search as expected.

Note: Voice search closes the mic when finished, so if you attempt to immediately use it a second time, it will fail.

I hadn't seen this noted anywhere and as such wanted to mention it since the sound system is now in a much better state.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] VDubGli:
I think the same thing happened to me, unless I dont know how to use the program but i'm sure i do.

Its called talking tom cat. it records your voice then replays it in high pitch kitty talk. I pressed record, spoke into the mouth piece both normally and very loud. It didn't playback anything.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Android Development] ryanng2:
This works for me fine, as long as the first thing I do when I turn my phone on, and make a phone call. After that it just work.

can anyone help. thanks heaps
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Last Sunday I rooted my phone, changed the boot animation, removed City ID and Tweet/Peep, and installed wireless tethering.

Today I decided to apply s-off and put back the original boot/recovery loader so I can get the OTA update.

I downloaded what was supposed to be the boot loader. It was a pb311mg.zip file. It put in the boot loader but it also wiped my phone. I wasn't expecting that :(

I have Nandroid and Titanium backups. Which do I restore to get all my apps and settings back?

So I think I should have just had a zipupdate file. I guess I need to reflash unrevoked3, run a full Nandroid restore, and then a full Titanium restore. Just need verification.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jdmba:
They are all called "pb311mg.zip" so that doesn't help. That's the filename the phone looks for in HBOOT to force an automatic flash of its contents.

It sounds like you meant to flash a zip with just the stock recovery, but may have flashed one which was stock rom.

Regardless, if you can still get into ClockWorkMod, then restore your nandroid. Can you still get into ClockWorkMod?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
No. It did put back the original boot loader. I can install clockwork again though. So I'm guessing I reflash with unrevoked3 and then run a Nandroid restore and then a Titanium restore?

I reflashed unrevoked3 and ran my Nandroid restore. It looks like everything is as it was! So don't need a Titanium restore? I thought I would for apps and app settings.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shiodooru:
The thing is that the .zip can have multiple IMG files, what you wanted was one with just recovery.img
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marcmarshall:
Yes. I found a img file with just the boot loader. That a Nandroid restore and I'm back. Thanks

That link says the same thing as I have posted above. I was just hoping someone could physically measure both and let me know the measurements. The reason I'm asking this is because I feel these people took the measurements off the Samsung site, and since one is in mm and the other in inches converting one might lead to a difference (when there really isn't).

- flashed (successfully)

- rebooted
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:

[Hero, G2 Touch General] 150pilot:
Same here.

I also just flashed CM6-RC3 and after flashing MDPI Google Apps (20100816) .zip file, I have Gmail and such but no Market and Home & Search buttons are not working either on Mytouch 3G (32B).
[Hero, G2 Touch General] pulser_g2:
Check inside the googlebits zip if the market apk is included?
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 150pilot:
Yes MarketUpdater.apk is in that .zip file in fact the GoogleApp .zip files for CM5 and CM6 are identical but the Market only works for me in CM5. And since the Home & Search buttons don't work in CM6 either I am going to stick with CM5 for now.
[Hero, G2 Touch General] 150pilot:
It turns out...

for me at least, I should have used the "tiny" GoogleApps .zip file which could have been my problem. But a new CM6 ROM file showed up today without the -RC3 after it so using these two files I have the Market and my Home & Search buttons are now working in 2.2 Froyo on this Mytouch 3G (32B). Cool.
