[Captivate Android Development] SnakeHaveYou:
I asked this before, but nobody answer me..

My Captivate never had the 3-Button Combo lack/bootloader issue, so it never needed any fix..

Cog Beta 9.1.3 (that includes the Sbl file) will overwrite/touch my sane Bootloader? Causing it to lose it "BUILT-IN from Stock" 3-Button Combo?

I'm asking this because i saw in the "3-Button Combo Fix" thread that if you flash this file (Sbl on an update.zip, also included in Cog's Beta), you'll need to flash it EVERYTIME you go back to Stock to get back the 3-Button Combo working again.

I don't want to lose this ""already built-in from the buying day"" funtionality, or be overwrited..

Thanks..
[Captivate Android Development] solufein:
pretty sure the "3 button combo" fix is an issue with the i9000 kernel on our hardware.

your phone's safe. don't freak =P

9.1.3=> Anyxperience?

The GPS worked pretty decent for me on 8.1, and also 2.16, albeit after installing the Jupiter changes.

But on 9.1.3, for me, the GPS is very bad. Drove up to KC tonight, and had blue circle 95% of the time, and it was quite large often. In town it threw me on wrong roads. Pretty unusable.

I'm curiuous if maybe I need to reflash for some reason. What other experiences out there?

BTW: I did this type of upgrade:

Factory Data Reset

Master Clear

Format SD Card

OneClick Odin to 2.1

Odin to 9.3.1

TIBU Restore from 8.1

Did not restore any system apps

All else seems to be pretty good for me. Although, I'm not sure I like the Contacts, with the video button and the way it works. (I can ignore the video button). I'm not sure what the driving force is to change that. Need to read up on it.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Need to keep the original camera for video though..........No switch on 360
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
If you read the first post in this thread DG tested it and says you can never lose the 3 button combo if you had it out of the box on the original 2.1.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
edit: what opcow said.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
you should disable the lagfix before flashing new ROM.

Beta 9 onwards Cog uses voodoo lagfix and not tayutama..and READ COG FAQ from first post of this thread.....

one more thing if you use CW and installed ROM from sdcard i.e. without ODIN, remember to delete 'disable-lagfix' after installation.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Make sure you only restore apps, no system files or data. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] serialtoon:

The email app that comes with Beta 9 is still having issues with older versions of exchange server. I am Beta 9 but replaced the Email.apk with the one posted earlier from CM6. Everything works for me running one exchange 2003 and one trial BPOS exchange account at the same time.

Alrite guys sorryvi havnt went thru the 713 pages but im using unhelpfuls cognition 2.1.7 should i go to 2.2beta or what
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
no one can really answer that for you. i dont really see a reason not to which is why i flashed 2.2 the first day it was available. its really up to you. you can always go back.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
It totally depends on personal choice. If you want complete rock solid rom the stay with cog 2.1.7 .I have been using the same till 2.2 beta 4 came out. But with 2.2 hou get advantages of froyo like flash and video calling with yahoo messanger etc. But then it has some issues like email apps and some occasional fcloses...so it depends on you.

How do I load / convert my vCard file (821) from B9.1.2 into Google or my current B 9.1.3. I tried to convert all phone entries to Google before the upgrade but that didn't work.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
throw the vCard onto your PC, go to google.com/contacts and import that vCard :)
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Go to 2.2

I went from 2.16 to 2.2beta and I've been happy...only been a few days but works well.

I originally went to the leaked 2.2 non-cognition flavor a few weeks ago...that was a mistake...very buggy. But this version of 2.2 is great, smooth, fast and reliable.

I do, however, still have issues with my streaming radio applications like NPR and Public News Radio. They don't play at all on any of the beta versions of 2.2, no clue why.
[Captivate Android Development] Mechapanda:
Pandora has worked for me on the past versions of the cog2.2 beta
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:

I'm running 2.1 Rooted. I think it's Unleash The Beast (I'm not sure anymore. On the Build Number it says "Bugless Beast Teaser :P").

Can I just do what it say on the FAQ to get it to Cog 2.2? (This part)

Will I lose my apps that I sideloaded, and/or my app data? How about my whole home screen layout?
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
At&t logo on load is not related, it is part of the load sequence and is not affecting other issues. In general, this is not 100% from scratch os, so you have a lot of samsung / at&t pieces left in it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
To save your apps download titanium backup. It will allow you to back up all of your apps for easy restore. DO NOT BACK UP SYSTEM APPS OR INFO.

as far as your homescreen goes, are you using the touch wiz interface or have you downloaded a custom launcher like Launcher pro? Launcher pro has an option to backup your home screens and settings but it will not restore your Widgets. So everytime you flash a rom you will have to redo your Widgets.

You can flash through clockwork from where you are. Flash with your sim and SD card out at 100% battery. Make sure your contacts are synchronized with google

Please read what to expect regarding bugs and what not. Do not become another person who flashes 9.13 and wants to know why the video call button does not work

[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Yes you can go from any rooted rom to cognition using steps from FAQ. Make sure to disable any lagfix you have if u r planning to use cw. Or else use ODIN to master clear go to stock, root it then again ODIN to flash cognition.

U loose all your apps and contacts while flashing. Make sure to backup using tiny and sync contacts with gmail.

Really? What are you running? I'm running Baseband I897UCJI6, Kernel 2.6.32.9 and Cognition 2.2 Beta 9.1.2

Nada. Soon as I downgrade to 2.1 and JH7...works instantly. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] greenstuffs:
Beta3 was working fine until i left the phone overnight and it shut off, tried to reboot but the phone was unusable, the system FC all the time so i had to do a nandroid back up and went back to Beta1, everything is fine now.

Thx for the greatg work.
[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
What do you mean by the don't back up system apps or info. I just went to Batch -> Backup All User Apps + System Data.

Was that wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Yes you never want to restore system data when flashing new ROM's...Only apps with data...
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Even if moving to a newer version of same OS? (Ie Froyo-> Froyo)
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Do not restore system data. You are moving from 2.1 to 2.2. Restoring system data can and will cause problems because not everything is compatible. When you flash run the batch for user apps, do not restore system

[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Not sure on this but for example beta 6 has a different contact app from beta 9. So I would avoid restoring systems apps

so far so good .. snappy response .. will update regarding batt later on ..
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Did you flash the rom already?

If you did I would reflash and clear data and cash. Then when you restore from batch just select user apps and data.

If you have not flashed then there is no blunder. When you are comfortable flash the rom and restore only user apps in batch.

[Captivate Android Development] fireshot91:
Alright cool. I'm moving the Cognition file onto my SD card. (Internal). Now, all I have to do is take out my SIM card (I have no external SD card), and flash it through ROM Manager?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Yes. When you click install rom from SD inside rom manager I would suggest you click on back up current rom and clear cache/ data.

This way you have a saved backup of your current state.

When you flash there will be a period where nothing appears to be happening. This is normal. Let it run its course

When you do this you may initially go to stock recovery. Click reinstall packages to get to clockwork then let it do its thing

Is there a way to add the stock lock screen to 9.1.3? Any specific reason why it was removed and the default one added back after beta 8?
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
thanks everyone for the awesome help. 1 last question before I reflash correctly this time

When using ti backup should I only backup user Apps or is user data OK as well? I now know not to backup system data but will user data cause any issues?

Lastly, do I have to flash from the internal SD and remove the external SD? So far I've just been flashing with the rom on the extrernal SD.
[Captivate Android Development] Seraphimos:
I flashed to Beta 9.1.3 using these exact instructions last night from Beta7. Everything was working fine last night calls and all, but this morning my phone process FC's right after making or receiving a call. TiBu was used to restore apps and data from Beta7, no system data, though. The only difference I can think of is that the battery was around 25% today. Plugging into a power source changes nothing. Any ideas?

Update: Phone app doesn't FC every time with battery at 30% and charging.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Apps with data is OK, and it must be on your internal SD to flash. Remove you external SD and SIM card before flashing.
[Captivate Android Development] Mechapanda:
I can no longer use SIM management after 9.1.3, is that something that required the yahoo clock that was removed from this build?
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Thanks! Will report back once I get everythign updated....hopefully I'll have a USB tether option finally!!
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Also make sure that you have copied your tibu backup folder on your computer just in case anything goes wrong, because by default tibu backup folder is saved on internal SDcard.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I went into settings in TIBU, and set it to backup to my external SD card. And of course, also Dropbox. That way I don't have to remember to backup to PC when I flash. I'm too old, and need every trick I can think of to not have to remember anything :p

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Same here. It is all about how much time your screen is on. You can put your phone in your pocket for 8 hrs and not drop 10% but if you use the screen for 45 minutes you will atleast eat up 15-20%

Captivate

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
This. The screen is by far the biggest eater of your battery. Like right now, I've got 34% left, with the phone being unplugged for almost 14 hours. However, my screen has only been on a total hour of that. WiFi has been on all night, as well as auto-update and auto-brightness.
[Captivate Android Development] sjavvaji:
need a little help with this

Hey, I am a new Captivate owner (3 hours) to be exact. I have been looking through the thread for the past couple of days so I need you guys to answer some questions for me.

1) Should I use the Odin method or the clockwork method to flash cog 9.1.3?

2) I seem more comfortable with the ODIN method so how will i be able to back up my files since it sets everything back to stock? Titanium backup or something like that?

3) Are there any steps I have to do prior to using one of these tools that would be common sense to normal users but not to a person who has the phone for 3 hours (i.e. root, drivers, adb, range of various other things)?

4) If it is not too much work, can someone make a very short step-by-step installation for the recommended method?
[Captivate Android Development] SiL3nTKiLL:
when u guys use titanium backup to backup ur apps b4 flashing a new rom, do u backup apps + data or just apps?
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Before you do anything, I would make sure that three button recovery works on your phone.

Download appbrain and sync it with your computer (you will use this to restore your apps after)

I suggest odin. You have no need to go back to stock since you are there already, right?

Start with phone charged to 100%

Download Odin Beta 9.1.3,

place pit and pda in proper slots in odin,

Turn off phone

Pull battery and sim card

Replace battery

Hold down up/down volume (not power)

Plug in phone to computer (back usb preferred)

Wait for download mode (digging android)

Hit start in odin

Let it run

When phone reboots, unplug.

Wait for awhile, it will take a few minutes for this first boot

Turn off phone, replace sim.

Download appbrain and recover apps

Download titanium backup and backup with it

Download clockwork recovery for next time you flash

Enjoy

[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

Think I've read back to the start of Beta 9.1.3 discussions and haven't seen this reported yet. Sorry if it's a re-post.

When using Google Navigation for the first time, everything was working fine in my car until I plugged the phone into the cigarette lighter to charge. After the phone went back through media scanning and I re-entered Google Navigation, I was prompted with a message that I needed to install Speech to Text, which was interesting seeing as it was working fine prior to plugging the phone in.

I was at my destination, so while waiting around for someone I uninstalled Google Maps and re-installed and everything was back to OK. Upon getting back into my car, and plugging back in, every time I re-started Google Navigation I got a force close after selecting a destination at the point where it was calculating the directions.

Unplugged the phone and everything worked fine.

I flashed using ODIN if that matters.

Special Note:	If you are running JH6 Baseband version (Settings -> About Phone) obtain unlock code BEFORE you flash. Search for one-click unlocker for more details.

Install using Clockwork Recovery

1.	If you are not already rooted, root with the tools here

2.	Go to the xda thread located here. Download the latest version of the ROM. Move it to your internal SD card on your phone.

3.	Download ROM Manager (available in the market, more info here) and choose "Flash Clockwork Mod" which will put an update.zip (holding clockwork recovery) on the root of your internal SD card.

4.	Open Rom Manager, choose "Install ROM from SD Card", navigate to your Cognition2.x.zip, and watch the magic happen!

5.	Note: if this is your first time installing clockwork, it may fail at stock recovery and reboot. Simply choose "reinstall packages" once more, and it should work properly
