Yeah, I tried that at first, then rebooted, both with no success. The APN update was all that worked, which makes sense because when I went to update it there was no entry, whatsoever. Seems like maybe the ODIN didn't get it written properly.

Exchange email may not be working?

Ok tried a 2nd time to install v2.3b1, this time from stock. Same results. Everything works except Exchange email. The backup of my 8.1 is also FC all over the place. Had to start from scratch with a different ROM.

Has anyone tried Exchange email on v2.2b1 or 2?

Thanks.

Here is the thing every time a new cog come out there is a bunch of people have issues that at first give me concerns. Then I say what the help and go for it. This is by far the best 2. 2 version to date. Not a single issue yet to report.

I have never flashed back to stock. Always flash through CW. Flash with sim and ex SD out. Have moded notification menu, dialer, and bat. Knock on wood, not a single FC. Restored apps and data with TB. Am I just lucky or is there a ton of people out there who can not follow instructions?

why does my notifications volume come down to 25% ALWAYS...it did in eclair..it didnt in cogb2.2b7...does so on cog2.3b1......when we have an option of selecting the ringtone volume same as notification its allrite...when theres a seperate notifications volume it always comes down to 25%!!!
[Captivate Android Development] mrschwarz:
DG:

New site design is a big improvement. Much more readable and easier to find things. You're doing great work!

I was one of the first to report the ringtone sound problem in email. The workaround you suggested doesn't work for me. I use standard notification sounds, but I receive so many emails during the day that I need to set the sound off. I had notifications on for the status bar report, but had selected silent for the ringtone. Since it's not possible to do that anymore, I just shut notifications for emails off. It's not the best solution, but it works.

Another comment on email. Older versions like in beta 6 email programs required selecting the email folder from the menu instead of a tab on the top of the screen. I found that much more convenient to use than the current arrangement.

Several hundred posts ago, someone posted a link to an older email replacement for this one. Would it be possible to put a link to the older email program on your download page?
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Yes. Just remember to disable lagfix, some say they don't, but it its easy enough and might save trouble.

This is what I did and it worked fine.

[Captivate Android Development] original2k:
this is a throwback to my post yesterday, when you read these "issues" they are more often than not user errors during the installation process, i myself have not had any problems installing ANY of these beta's either...

it's not my thread but it's a topic that concerns a lot of ppl who read this, ppl just need to read the FAQ's, scroll thru the last 800 pages of this thread and you WILL find your answer. i can promise u that there is nothing different with the installation process with current beta's in comparison to those processes when DG started all this.

i'd just like to see more quality when it comes to the posting of issues and such, ppl are getting deterred from installing these beta's for no reason! if you follow the general rules of thumb when updating many of these common issues won't happen
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
For those of you with email notification problems (or email problems in general) I'd like to recommend k9 mail.

I've been using it since the beginning and have had none of the issues that others have. My notifications work just dandy. Never had blank reply issues. Nothing.

Not the best email app I've ever used but it does work and is very stable.

Just my opinion, ymmv.

Mobile Ap

OK, I've been following this thread and all the updates since I installed 2.2 Beta 6. I haven't seen any reason (for me) to update my ROM until this new leaked version of Froyo came out - it looks like everyone is reporting increased speed and function. I have but one question, and it is related to the Mobile Ap app and this changelog:

Disabled ATamp;T's hold on USB tethering, it checked to see if you had tethering on your plan! no more.

My sole purpose for rooting my phone back in September was to get wireless tethering. Does this comment solely relate to USB tethering or Mobile Ap and/or the wireless tethering app. I need that function and I don't want ATT knowing that I tether - also, early reports were that Mobile Ap wasn't functioning too well. Any thoughts?

Also, thanks DG for your work. I really like the version that I am on and it is very fast - my Quad....hey, what is that fishy smell....[smack]...
[Captivate Android Development] parisallen1:
I know the solution is probably in here somewhere but i cant find it.

I have v2.2 BETA9.1.3 installed. I disabled Voodo after the install.

when i place a call, after the 2nd ring i get a message stating, "the process com.android.phone has stopped unexpectedly" and i have to force close.

Same thing occurs when i recieve a call, but as long as i dont click force close i can continue talking to the caller.

Please help me!
[Captivate Android Development] navytron:
DG thank you for all of your hard work, Cognition is wonderful!

The only issue I'm facing while running 2.3b2 after clean Odin reset to stock is my battery life. Does anyone have any guidance on that?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Did you flash with full battery? If not then you might need to reset battery stats. I cannot find the instructions but they were there somewhere
[Captivate Android Development] original2k:
this is most likely an issue with a TiBu restore, you usually get these kinds of errors when you restore a system app version that isn't compatible with the current release of the rom, generally you only want to restore user/market apps and nothing system related.

from this point i would, wipe and reflash, then cautiously restore whatever u need
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Well, I tried using 7 Zip and copied the files to the 2.3b2 file set, and when I applied to the phone, it goes to the blue Cognition screen and FCs and flashes that screen over and over.

I don't see any instructions for the correct way to install those files (from teh page they are posted on). Can anyone give me input on correct method to install them?
[Captivate Android Development] brefmint:
I've noticed really poor battery life as well. It could just be from trying to keep up with the posts on this thread! What is this reseting of battery stats you speak of? I flashed when my battery was about 60%.
[Captivate Android Development] lrs421:
Warning...noob question. Let's just say someone wants to disable lag fix. How would they do so?

Still running 9.1.3

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Create a folder or extension-less file named "disable-lagfix" and put it in your Voodoo folder. Then reboot. It will take some time, but when you have finally rebooted, you will have disabled the lagfix. In order to re-enable it, just delete the folder/file.
[Captivate Android Development] ratflinger:
Also, look through the batch report on TiBu BEFORE you start the batch job. There are several Google 2.1 updates in there. Don't know if they make a difference, but I always unselect any app that claims it's a 2.1 update and I've not had any problems. I use cwm exclusively.

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It is best to flash with 100% battery. If I were you I would follow these steps.

Charge the phone while on till it hits 100%, then unplug the phone and power off

Once totally off plug back in till it reaches 100% charge while turned off. Use volume up /down to bring battery status up. Once it vibrated and says you are at 100% unplug turn your phone on and let boot up run completely

Power off again completely. Plug back in and let charge too 100%

Unplug and use three baton combo to get to recovery. Click reinstall packages to get to CM recovery. Navigate to advanced then to clear battery stats. Then reboot

Use your phone till the battery is completely dead and turns off on its own. Plug into charger and allow to charge back to 100% while off. This although a long process should calibrated your battery to a true 100% and true zero.

ATTENTION!!!

Why do people still want to rename to update.zip? Stop doing things that aren't in the instructions. Put the file in /sdcard, RUN ROM MANAGER OR CWM, and choose "install zip fron sdcard".......
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Installed 2.3 via CW after disabling Voodoo using ROM Manager and clearing Data and Cache. Installed 2.3b OVER using CW.

No issues of note. All downloads have been without issue. I do keep them all though in a Samsung file on my PC JIC...LOL

One thing about the battery is it will "leak" I have one on charge and it can lay the bare battery on the nightstand all night and need another 5 minutes in the charger in the morning to go green. I think and do as with all devices that offer so much power and carry an extra battery. One of the many things that make this better than the iPhone. No need to ration usage and not enjoy the device fully.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
You don't "... just copy the files..", you have to install. Rom manager or cwm.

I think I'm going to hold off on this update a few days. My phone is running great on the 10/29 version of cognition...I don't want to rock the boat and spend hours rebuilding my phone again.

This stuff is time consuming. Once all the kinks are 100% worked out, I'll upgrade. Anyone else feel the same way?
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Missed all the fun an noticed the updates to fix swype and the desk app! Very cool stuff DG. Sucks that Samsung has turned their ROM into a Gordian Knot though and not allow you to make it completely lean and mean.

.... and since it was just an app update from 2.xb to the 2.3b update and does not attempt to format my sdcard I just installed it over the top using CWM. No need to disable Voodoo for installing applications to the system file :) If you see "no data wipe" it means he created the update.zip to just install the apps and wipe the Dalvik cache.

My personal suggestion is to disable voodoo when doing major ROM flashes - and since I think ROM Manager is playing nice with Voodoo's file system I didn't disable it when I upgraded from 9 to 2.xb.

DG is making installing his ROM pretty brain dead (and trust me... I'm one of those with only a few brain cells left rolling around his skull).

Great work as usual sir DG! Can't wait for OTA so you can lose the "beta" and turn this into a "final" :D
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Seems the main problem left is just the Mobile AP. I don't really use this feature, so, it's not that big a deal to me.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Sorry, all the info from previous posts was absent in my last post.

I attempted to copy the files from the Version A zip file into the ROM zip file, before flashing. NOt copy to the phone, which I've read several times can be done. Didn't work for me though.

So what I'm trying now is this, with an embedded question here ...

I flashed 2.3b2 zip.

Then w/o rebooting, I selected Install Zip from SD card again, and selected the update.

After that when I rebooted, it FC'd during boot. Message went by too fast to see what it was. Should I have booted up and cycled first before applying the update?

For the Version A circle file, I'm going to use the Select from SDcard again to install that.

Given the boot FC, I have a feeling I'll be wiping all back to stock Froyo and starting again :rolleyes:

I interest in knowing the answer to that question above before I get there.
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
Then hold off. While it is time consuming, we're not forced to do it. I'm on 2.3b2... and it's working just fine.

Battery life is as to be expected. Phone has been off charger for 5 hrs, about 1 hour to 1 1/2 screen time. 70% left. Figure that means I am good for 15 hours with 4 hour screen time. Everyone uses their phone differently but for me I am happy with the results

I got to drive with the GPS today. This is as good as the best rom GPS I've used. That in no way means perfect, but it's a heck of alot better than most others.

I have to think this rom is close to the final release.

I'm guessing we won't see Bluetooth voice commands. They are out for some of the i9000's. NOt sure why they aren't in this one unless Samsung is withholding them for some reason.

Bluetooth works well beyond that issue.

Hmm interesting... I'm running 2.3b1 flashed from CWM. I want to install the update to b2 but everytime I try to connect my phone to my PC to transfer the file I get a FC and reboot. Only happens when i click on the USB notification to mount the drive.

I'm guessing this is an isolated issue as I have not seen anyone else experiencing this. Any idea's how to fix without reflashing?

Edit: Nevermind. I replaced the android.policy.jar last night to get the stock lock screen back from NiXXeD thread. That was causing the issues. I replaced the original from 2.3b1 and it is mounting now. Anyone else using the stock lock on this ROM having issues with mounting the phone via USB?

Maybe try to turn USB debugging off and copy the file to SD card. You can turn it on later
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I posted earler too that the GPS was great for me, based only on 1 26 mile trip.

On the Blue Tooth voice command, I will be severly disappointed if they don't come through. I have been experimenting with Vlingo on it, and this is what i"m seeing so far:

Comes up with BT button push

Does not hear me through BT

When brining up via phone button, it hears me

It is not as accurate as Google Voice for the commands.

I have just finished my latest reinstall and restore, and will be testing further today on things and providing feedback.

Someone mentioned they cannot send MMS while on Edge. Could you be on the same boat with them? Mine works just fine. Actually, the stock APN settings did something strange.

I've applied the b2 update and did some tweaking around with a new APN and it works normally now. When I send myself an MMS, I get it back on the same thread that I sent from. Back to normal.

Email refresh issues

Running 2.3b1 and ever since Beta9.x.x really I've been having issues with the email app not refreshing.

I have an Exchange account as well as a Gmail account. The Gmail account is set to refresh every hour and Exchange is set to push. If my phone sits for too long (IE- at night) it seems that the email app gets stuck and will not refresh any longer. The only way I have been able to work around this is to go in to Task Manager and kill the email app, then upon opening the email app again both accounts sync up fine...until next time :/

Has anyone else experienced this issue? Also, in the recent versions LauncherPro has been locking up on occasion as well.
