[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] anilkuj:
asked Samfirmware if we would get another build soon this is the answer i got

"SamFirmware: @anilkuj i think this is a PIT problem all new 2.2 roms have those problems..."

http://www.twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22737858065

i asked them that I9000 froyo dint have similar issues and this was their answer

"SamFirmware: @anilkuj XXJPC have this problem to. thats why we also skip this from our site."

http://www.twitter.com/SamFirmware/status/22738228408

so now my question is , is there anyway anyone can fix this ? or do we just have to wait for another build, then how did the JPC froyo work in ODIN finally ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Finguz:
I think it's probably best to wait, unless you like to live dangerously :D

I flashed back to 2.1 from JPC today because it was becoming unstable, but fun while it lasted!
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Richthofen:
This release is for I987 (Captivate Tablet), not for I897.

It is not supposed to work one any other platform.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
I am not sure if anyone else has had this problem, I know that some people have had trouble with setcpu.... I thought that it was adw crapping out on me, but the problem stayed when I switched to launcher pro. I am still using setcpu@ 285 min and 528 max. I was able to narrow it to the active setcpu widget killing the launcher. Since I have removed the widget, v32 been very stable. My battery life is great. I just wanted to pass this on in case anyone else was having the same problem.

Thanks again for such a great rom.

[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hallstevenson:
It's not an unknown problem that SetCPU's widget will kill your battery. Many people advise against using it.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] truegrass:
It did not kill my battery... It cashed my launcher. My phone would freeze up and the only thing that I could do was to force quit the launcher. Forcing quit did not even resolve the problem, I would have to pull the battery and reboot.... Then I had about 3 to 5 minutes before it happened again. I removed the widget and the problem is gone.
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DS36:
This is a well known issue

Thanks for the post though
[Droid Eris Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MrObvious:
Just don't use the widget. Let SetCPU run in the background and it should do fine.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
Is there a known simple method to alter the useless lock screen on the captivate.it's not exactly pocket proof. Also I saw a lock screen somewhere that had several sliders that could launch the phone, mms, ect....

if I could skip the home screen when making a call/text that'd be awesome.

[Captivate Themes and Apps] billy_rud10:
Checkout WidgetLocker, works great.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] darkamikaze:
or if you would like a free alternative but not as yet polished as it is new try Simply Lockscreen
[Captivate Themes and Apps] renegaderalphie:
the one your looking for that goes to phone, sms, email, and home is called GOTO... i had it on for a little bit... but ultimately kept the original lock screen :D
[Captivate Themes and Apps] JRd1st:
There's a widget named No Lock that lets you bypass the lock screen altogether. It's on the market and it works fine on my stock Captivate.

One tiny issue is that you have to hold the on/off button a little longer than normal to wake up the phone.
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Dani897:
Thanks guys. Widget locker it is for me!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Little Dragon:
+1

this thing is the bomb! never looked back on my stock lockscreen
[Captivate Themes and Apps] ozy944:
+1 for No Lock. Great as the Captivate has only capacitive buttons and volume buttons dont seem to activate the screen!
[Captivate Themes and Apps] Griffon23:
The problem I'm having with most of these alternate lock screens is that quite often the Samsung one still comes up and then I have to unlock twice. If that doesn't happen then sometimes two of the new lockscreen will come up.

I've tried changing around settings but every one I try has these similar issues. Is there no way to just disable the TouchWiz lockscreen?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinu81:
is there a way where you can add logos on the top left hand side of the task bar?

I have a Sprint Evo 4G US
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
U coooooould, but its gonna look awfully ugly when notification icons cover it up

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] xxbabiboi228xx:
I think what would be cool is replacing the reception bars with the sprint logo it would be shy 1 bar though.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinu81:
i got a notification from Sprint when i updated to Android 2.2 it looked awesome there and then i cleared my notifications and it went away..... how can i get that notification back on my bar
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Rydah:
Yea it looked cool. Just a little bit tho.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
By doing something that makes it pop up... what kind of question os that?

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] kevinu81:
If your gonna be a smart ass about it, at least be SMART and spell correctly... What i was asking was what can i do on my phone to trigger that notification again.....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TJDuckett:
I wasn't being a smart ass. It was an obvious answer to a stupid question. And then you clarify it with another stupid question... if a sprint ota update brought it up the first time, then you know what triggers it.

As for my spelling, my tapatalk Sig explains that... what's ur excuse for the mess you're posting?

Anyways, if you're doing ota updates, are you rooted? If so, you could edit one of the fairly permanent icons like 3g to the sprint icon

All spelling errors thanks to xt9 on my Evo!
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] nxtech3:
Its the Sprint Zone Promotion app, anytime Sprint has an update that icon will pop up, its just like getting a text or email notification
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
just called and asked about the 2.2 update she said we have no clue about the update. we are currently working on it with samsung but we have no date on when its going to be sent out to users .

THIS IS NOT GOOD
[Vibrant General] cashless:
That's a standard reply. I wouldn't worry about it... at all.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
why is this not good? You got a clueless rep.. big deal.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
so do you have a clue about it?
[Vibrant General] ELStiko:
You didn't necessarily get a clueless rep.

I work support for a software company and I am far from being a clueless support analyst for said company. Even if I did know the expected date of a release, I still will not let on that I know the exact date in case of unexpected delays. Unless there is a confirmed and published release date for anything, a service rep would be foolish to give you a confirmed date.
[Vibrant General] MilkPudding:
Pretty much what he said.

Any release have to come from an official announcement of the company and the staffs are NOT supposed to speculate even if they know it's confirmed. Some companies are pretty strict on this and you will get fired and sued if you leak the info.
[Vibrant General] YMark:
The rep wasn't clueless. The OP asking the question and expecting an accurate reply is the clueless one.
[Vibrant General] The_wolf88:
So what ?

Have patient people it's coming soon !
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
Apologies all... in an effort to not flame the poster (XDA rules) I leaned more on the rep.... I know you can not call and get an ETA like this over the phone.
[Vibrant General] Chalup:
Yea what is the deal with these service people. I just called and asked when Gingerbread OTA will be released and the person had no idea what I was talking about.
[Vibrant General] johnnyh64:
We are all excited about the updates. I'm particularly wanting the GPS fixed, but PLEASE don't waste valuable resources asking for speculation from the friendly CSR reps. They are there to help people with problems. And guess who gets to pay the CSR's salaries? Yep, we do!
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Because he ate it and didn't want anyone else to know about it. :rolleyes:
[Vibrant General] Droidicus:
Wait...what?...did you say soon??? Sue sue sue! He said soon!
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
Guys, I just called T-Mobile about when CM6 was going to be available for Vibrant and they said they hadn't even heard of CM6. Oh noes?
[Vibrant General] disturkis4u:
I asked them when they are getting the i-phone. You know that I-phone. It has apps. I want it. The one with 32 gee-bees. The rep didn't know when it was coming out. I'm going to switch companies! What horrible service.
[Vibrant General] Aphotix:
Samsung is still on 2.1, and you are asking about 3?

Remember, when you call customer care, you are calling billing support. They do troubleshooting and phone orders, but they follow flows for troubleshooting and look up articles, why on earth would they know that, I doubt even Samsung has a clue about when 3 would be offered. It sounds more like you called because you wanted to make someone feel dumb.
[Vibrant General] chronos7:
It's a waste of time to keep calling CS because most of the time we know more than they do about releases and dates.
[Vibrant General] dex1701:
I'm pretty sure asking about Gingerbread was a joke. ;)
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I called T-Mobile and asked the CSR when my left nut would be parallel with my right nut. She didn't even know what I was talking about! I'm switching carriers. What horrible service.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
I LOL'd HARD~~

* Insert clever rebuttal *
[Vibrant General] jayzusfk:
This thread is classic. So many lulz.

Update's probably out late Sept but maybe not. Just follow the CM rule: don't ask about ETAs. Bugging a CSR about a software update just means they're likely to mute the mic and make fun of you/call you names while pretending to give a ****.
[Vibrant General] rwbarnes67:
Funny! That's exactly what I did while I read all 3 pages of this thread!!!!!:p
[Vibrant General] All~G1:
I just called Tmo and they said it actually dropped yesterday!!!! OMG :eek:!!! They told me that if I had not gotten it by now then its probably cause my GPS is broken and the OTA cant track it. She said that I should box it up and send it back to get a full refund. :D Crisis averted guys...... THANK GOODNESS!!!!
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
talked to android just now and they said we don't have a date on it yet........
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
I'm using Samsung Apps' Social Hub Push Email and IM for my IM, Contacts, Calendar & Email sync (it's awesome!) :)

So everytime after i reboot the phone (when i change my battery pack), all the apps comes up fine on its own

all the IM accounts logs online by themself yahoo, & google talk; except for MSN

i always have to click the green button for it to connect.

So, i'm pondering why MSN doesn't auto login like the other accounts that i have in Social Hub Push Email and IM? :confused:
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
no body uses MSN ?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] d3a:
i tried using that app and it doesn't work very well... I switched to msn talk and it works much better.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AllGamer:
what kind of problem did you get when you were using the Samsung Hub App?
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
I haven't had a whole lot of time to test this modem, but it should support the 850MHz band and I'm getting upload rates of about 1400kbps. Please post your experience, if everything checks out I'll make a walkthrough for the layman.

No worky, 1.5 down .3 up. I'm running JH3 with this modem.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
testing now... going to check all the normal crazy stuff
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
Wont work with Captivate kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
Running JM6 w/Captivate kernel. Flashed and seeing no real improvements. Getting 3MB/s dl, ~1MB/s ul. Still says it's connected to HSDPA. :(
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
Correct. Now by chance does anyone have the default captivate modem .tar?
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Odd, my numbers jump from 400kbps to about 1400kbps. And that's with only about 2 minutes between tests using the same server. I'll upload the stock modem in a few minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
are you trying this with stock Captivate kernel ? is your voice calls working ?
[Captivate Android Development] id10terrordfw:
Thank you kindly, I do hit 1024k up vs the normal 250k with this .tar, but voice calls are bricked. But it does work enabling it.
[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
There are 9 categories for HSUPA - the slowest is .73Mbits/sec.

If you are seeing close to 1Mb (I assume you meant bit not byte) then you are wll into HSUPA speed for uploads.

If you were getting 1MB (Megabyte) then we would all be jealous as you would be kicking A** at 8Mbits/sec.
[Captivate Android Development] anilkuj:
yep AJerman tried this long time ago , the only way we can get HSUPA and voice call working on both 850 and 1900 Mhz is to use bell vibrant modems with Vibrant Kernel

or just use a I9000 rom with the bell vibrant modem

either case you have to live wit some limitations

with vibrant kernel

you lose GPS and screen orientation , button issues can be fixed.

with I9000 kernel

you have issues with recovery console and ROM manager and screen orientation issues.
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Ah, thanks. I believe I had the Vibrant kernel loaded so that must be why my voice worked fine.

Front page has the stock radio.
[Captivate Android Development] kkeo:
It should still say you're connected to HSDPA (D = downlink) because you still are, HSUPA (U = uplink) is just on the upload side.
[Captivate Android Development] Fortune090:
I actually was thinking that was the case...

I had it working, but like previously stated, voice is bricked. Didn't check before, but I flashed it again and called voicemail and got nothing.

Really don't understand why that happens. What in the modem.bin is different between the ATT/Bell modems that would cause this?
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
The problem is with the kernel. If you flash the Vibrant kernel voice will work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
I'm really excited for someone to find the difference between the two. Hell if I had any idea how to do it I'd have the two sitting in front of me right now comparing line by line. I've got the time, just not the experience :(
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
I don't believe we have the source for the Vibrant kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Zilch25:
You sure? I thought it was released the same time the I897 was. Our crack team of kernel modders pulled stuff from the Vibrant to make our voice work with custom kernels since our source is apparently incomplete
[Captivate Android Development] Muhamadabdelaall:
May I know please if I flashed the "Vibrant Kernel" on my Captivate which has the I9000 ROM, will that solve the "Bluetooth hearing" problems?

If yes, from where to download it please?
[Captivate Android Development] REAVER117:
Really? Has anyone tried using a custom kernel with the Vibrant modem? Or were the custom kernels compiled to only work with the Captivate modem.
[Droid X General] Mayfairkid:
Randomly while the line in is plugged into the headphone jack and listening to pod casts through BeyondPod, or pandora, the music app will start and over ride the other apps.

It usually happens when the screen is off, and I move the phone. Is there a hotbutton for the music player I am missing somewhere? Thanks, SHane.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
I was wondering does google voice include free texting? And how does it work. If so i want to cancle my unlimited texting plan. Please give me some info
[Vibrant General] lolcopter:
yes, but no MMS support.

1. Download Google Voice app to Android Phone

2. Set up account/voicemail. Make sure to adjust your setting so that texts aren't forwarded to your actual phone

3. ???

4. PROFIT!!!

all the texting is done within the actual Google Voice app as opposed to using the stock messaging app or an alternative like Handcent
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
^ pretty much nailed it. You can also send texts from your pc with GV.
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
Google Voice looks good on paper, but it's really not very reliable.

Texting works fine for the most part, but I've had delayed texts at times. You cannot text internationally. And surprisingly, the integration with Android is not great.

Also, Google Voice recently took one of my friend's numbers and gave to someone else.

It created a total mess for my friend, since she had been giving the GV number to everyone.

So, yeah it's free, but you will not get a very reliable service, and if you have a problem, Google will not respond.

I used Google Voice for about a year heavily, but am moving away from it now.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
so with texting i will have to get a new number from google am i right?
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
yes. but if google screws up, as they seem to do more than rarely, at some point someone else may be reading the texts meant for you.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
oh thats not good
[Vibrant General] XfooYen:
I've been using Google Voice heavily for a few weeks now. It definitely has its problems. Voice quality, delayed sms, inaccurate vvm, complicated setup. It's all a bit beta-ish. I do like the capabilities when they work. I would suggest keep using it but not exclusively. Send in surveys to Google when offered. Also mark inaccurate vvm as "not helpful" and send those in to Google too. The more people use GV, the more apt Google is to improve it. If people stop using GV altogether, it will surely be canned.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
"MacGuy" on here bashing a google product, shocker.

GV audio playback is low quality b/c it uses less bandwith/downloads faster. A necessary evil for having your VM sent to you via text I suppose.

The GV texting has never had an issue for me... i guess to each their own.

Stock SMS via carrier is easier, no doubt... but GV brings a lot to the table for the right price.
[Vibrant General] rwbarnes67:
Do a Google search for Google Voice. It tells you what the features are.

Sign up and try it. If you don't like it, don't use it. I've had it since last year and use it daily.

Give it a try!
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
What is this supposed to mean? I use mostly Macs, true, because I like them. But my main HTPC is W7, and obviously my current cell phones are Androids. Just like my old, old phones were WM6, and before that Palms.

I've used GV for quite a while, and all I am saying is that it is unfit to be your main number, if you depend on your phone.

Call quality is marginal, and international call quality is less than marginal (yes, I actually have paid to use some GV features). Skype is much better for that, and it's often cheaper.

For texting it's fine, but at times I have experienced delivery delays, so if its important, I'd use the stock client (I have unlimited texting, so what's the point). International texting is not allowed anymore by Google.

I was all excited about GV a year ago, just like I was excited about Wave, but I am actually transitioning away from it now, because it's just not reliable.

Plus, as I said they can take your number away without warning, and without you being able to do anything about it.

Nothing to do with Macs. Just the facts....
[Vibrant General] SykesAT:
my 2c...

GV is great, yea it's a bit beta-ish but for the functionality it can't be beat.

Not to mention free calls if you have a my circle plan, an older version of the GV app and set GV to show your number as caller id for inbound calls.

Free text, the delay is minumal and we get emails so lack of mms is a downside but I can live with it.
[Vibrant General] courtmagician:
I do love GV and give that number out to everyone, I almost never give out my cell number unless I need some form of MMS sent to me (pictures, or some services need to send more than just text). I've rarely had issue, especially not delays, although I did have an entire day where I didn't get texts and was unable to send them. Still don't know what happened to all those texts. But call quality has been excellent on both my land/voip line and my cell going through GV. The voice call and call blocking features are worth it, too, and were the original reason I got the number 3 years ago. I certainly didn't plan on getting an Android phone back then, but the transition was great as I had started using more and more Google services.

Note that except for that one day, and probably 4-5 other days (out of over 1,000 days, and over 1600 text conversations) of minor delays, I've had zip for problems. No missed calls, and no missed texts. Highly recommended. But better integration would be nice (I just use the GV app for voicemail or to send an initial text when I don't have someone's "special" GV number).

[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
Hey guys, like all of you I am a proud owner of Vibrant and love it for its fantastic hardware - beautiful screen, fast processor, quality camera, sleek look and so on..I know most of us are a bit disappointed with Samsung implementing the dated RFS file system on Galaxy S(as RyanZA has enlightened us). We really appreciate what he and other hardcore developers here and elsewhere have done to work around the lag issue and provide us with few fixes. But we know these are not long term solution and also not perfect. Nothing would be like Samsung rolling out an updated firmware to fix it. Something like this would require lot of testing and QA to ensure phone will work stable under all conditions for prolonged time. Only Samsung has the money and resources to do it (I do not intend to disregard the work of independant developers, they are doing fantastic job given their constraints).

I am sure Samsung is aware of the lag issue, but couldn't find anything in the web about official response about fixing it.

Is it possible that we submit a joint petition to samsung and try to get an official response? I do not know how to contact them, but i hope someone reading this thread will know.
[Vibrant General] nguyenmd:
Goodluck my friend.
