[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Yeah it froze. I already did the Stock-i500-VZW-System.tar.md5 thru odin pre-re-rooting. Should I do the stock nandroid image as well?
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Doh! Answered my question before I asked it. I'll give that a try now
[Fascinate Android Development] frostman89:
Someone please go in a tunnel and confirm if the signal lost sound is still playing.
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
Where I live I pick up pretty good but still lost signal once in a while, normally 2 or 3 times/hr had this up and running since 10:30 or so and haven't heard it yet!! Maybe some rest tonight:) If I do hear it i'll let you know.
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Just so I dont screw the pooch. I merely use odin and the nandroid.md5 right
[Fascinate Android Development] Njzkrish:
Use Advance Task manager. Not sure why but when i end all. My signal resets and i get the disconnect sound. After update i still get it.
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
I don't use ATK only time I have gotten the sound is when I reboot. I have watched it swicth between 3g and 1x numerous times. No sound.
[Fascinate Android Development] WillisD:
Its still there, i just turned it to airplane mode and then back and got it:(
[Fascinate Android Development] saps:
Well I didnt need the Nandroid after all apparently it went thru and now Im at DI01. Now sure how it all worked out but it did and Im done and going to sleep now. Thanks who helped me
[Fascinate Android Development] spaciorek:
That bloody sound

It is still there. Where I work in a Hospital I lose signal at my desk and guess what that friggin beep is still there.
[Fascinate Android Development] namebrandon:
If you used the update in the first post of this thread, then that's why. Thanks for confirming what I suspected, that the signal fix is not in modem.bin! :)
[Fascinate Android Development] spaciorek:
Sure did use that update.....
[Fascinate Android Development] atraitees:
Thanks so much.I'll try it when I get back tonight..
[Fascinate Android Development] destroyerbmx:
I cant get any modem.bin file to take on my phone, what could the problem be? I've even flashed back to stock through odin and nandroid and it still would not update and just freeze, could something be broken w/ my phone?

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalik228:
ok so I take a lot of pictures and videos with my vibrant and so all my pictures and videos have to be organized. But I noticed that the vibrant creates a folder "photos"in the gallery for cam pictures and "videos" folder for my cam videos, but the problem is that I have a lot of folders in my gallery and just to find my camera pictures or videos folder it takes for ever. This is not this way on other android devices with this same gallery app. On other android phones, gallery creates a camera folder that stores all the camera pictures and videos and that folder is always the first in the gallery. So my question is is it possible to make so that my camera pictures and videos would go into the "camera" folder instead of making two folders that are hard to find? Thanks in advance.:-)
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kizer:
They should all be going in the DCIM folder.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vitalik228:
They are going in the DCIM but inside the dcim folder my pics and videos are going in "photos" and "videos" folders instead of the "camera" folder.
[Legend General] cdfs:
Hi,

I rooted today and installed dark azure 9/17 along with dumfuq's 825-oc-kernel. Works so far good, but I'm a little puzzled regarding Flash 10.1. I thought with FroYo I could install it from the market, but I can't find it there, only apps, that need flash to be installed before (like adobe's showcase for flash). What am I missing?
[Legend General] Kwen:
Flash 10.1 so far is only avail to those 1Ghz Snapdragon CPUs afaik
[Legend General] cdfs:
Thanks for the info, didn't know this. So is there at least a possibility to get flash-lite, like in stock 2.1-HTC-ROM, installed?
[Legend General] biomy:
hi,

i got new legend, its working fine, but i found something really so strange !

if my phone is on and i see the home screen..

i click power button (short normal press) the screen is off now ok ?

then, if i touch the screen with my finger its still off.. as usual

but the strange is when i touch it with a part of any cloth covered my finger,

the screen turns on and there is status bar msg noticing that memory Card is removed !!

i am sure of what i say i tried lot of times to wake up device with my finger on screen nothing happens, but when i use my finger covered with part of cloth to clean the screen like cleaning my sunglasses, the screen suddenly turns on !!

is the screen is kinda senstive with cotton/nylon clothes ? or electrostatics power that comes from clothes sometimes?

and is there anyone faceing same problem?!!!

sorry for any english mistakes

thanks ..
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
Never heard of such issue. Have you tried with different type of clothing?
[Legend General] biomy:
Yes i tried it with Cotton and Linen, its annoing me, sometimes my screen is full of finger stamps, so i clean the screen using my glasses cloth cleaner, or my shirt or Tshirt using one finger "Thump" without any liquids, and i care not to touch any key , then when i rub it fast for 3~5 seconds (its like "alla aladdin's lamp!!) "the screen turns on sudenly with this msg "SD Card unexpectedly removed" ......... ???!!!! and if the music player is playing , it stops and tells same msg showing SD CARD big icon on screen !!

please all legend users try it and if u find same thing tell me, i want to know if its my phone mistake or its problem in the "HTC manufacture"..
[Legend General] rajasyaitan:
You should send in your unit for warranty. I thinks its a faulty screen. Tried doing it with numerous kind of clothing but nothing happened. This couldn't be a software issue because its related to screen sensitivity.
[Legend General] biomy:
well,

i shutdown phone then removed the SD momory card, i turn on phone again and i tried touching screen with cloth, nothing happend, the phone is ok..!

then i shutdown the phone and inserted the SD card again, when phone opend it couldn't recogonise the memory card it gave me this msg: "SD Card removed, please insert new one" (i donno is it normal when i remove SD? or its an issu?)

then i restarted phone, also re inserting SD several times till it works now.

i tried the touch screen cloth issu, and its gone ... !

I am windows mobile user i never tried android !

are such things happen normaly with SD cards in legend?

or is there a problem in the device ?

thanks for helping me..
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Yes, yet another JH7 thread. But this one might help you gain your sanity back.

JH7 will (but not limited to):

1. Remove PC Internet option for tethering: When you go to Settings, Applications, USB Settings, you will not find the PC Internet option. If you currently have "Ask on connection" selected and you connect your phone to your computer, you will not see "PC Internet" as one of the options. This means, you will not be able to tether your phone to your computer (using the built-in tether feature).

2. Give you a better GPS lock: Some people have commented on how fast their GPS locked. It may have even improved the GPS accuracy. After installing JH7, mine locked in 45sec on the first try. After a reboot, it locked in about 15sec. Also, you cannot access the GPS Lab Test by dialing the *#*#.

3. Install Quickoffice: While you can download and install this yourself from the Market, JH7 installs it for you.

4. Update YouTube widget: You will see rotating thumbnails of the "Most Viewed" videos on the YouTube Widget.

5. Adjust the display's lowest brightness settings to even lower (is it just me or are my eyes tired from reading through so many JH7 threads?): I have my display to not adjust automatically. This allows me to slide my finger across the top status bar to manually adjust my settings. I always leave it to low (under normal room lighting conditions) and I can still see the display just fine. After JH7, I'm having trouble seeing the display. I just manually adjust it to one tick brighter. Problem solved.

6. Removes unlock code: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=789888

7. Improve your battery life: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=790449

***

Having said all that (based on my current experience with JH7) you should think twice before updating. I (kind of) did. Keep reading.

This is what I did while still on JF6.

A. Rooted my phone using One-click Root.

B. Installed Titanium Backup.

C. Installed ROM Manager.

D. Deleted AT&T bloatware.

E. Created a backup of my current (now semi-stock) ROM.

then, I...

F. Updated JF6 to JH7.

G. Played with JH7 and noticed 1-5 above.

H. Restored my phone using ROM Manager using the backup I've created (see E.)

Even though my Baseband still says JH7 after the Restore...

a. I got PC Internet (tethering) back!

b. YouTube widget is back to the old version

c. GPS takes longer to lock, >1min

d. I can access the GPS Lab Test by doing the #*#*...

e. Quickoffice is gone (of course. I never had it in when I did E.)

f. Brightness setting still behaves like JH7

Lesson: Create a backup before updating if you want to retain some settings and features!

EDIT: One last note...it may brick your phone, according to some people.
[Captivate General] terrigan:
AT&T wants to remove phone tethering? Big surprise there.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
#6 added. See original post.
[Captivate General] aloant:
The files are still there for me in JH7, the /efs/nv_data.bin just requires root access now. It may be just a matter of updating the unlock apps.
[Captivate General] RexEscape:
Thanks. I'll update the OP.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Just about everyone is having trouble installing the official JH7 OTA update... except a very few!

Those people who successfully installed the OTA JH7 (and got the "system updated successfully" message), please help your fellow XDAers out! We could use a Nandroid / ROM manager backup of your updated firmware!

1) Root your phone (using One-Click Root)

2) Install "ROM manager" from the market

3) Flash Clockwork recovery using "ROM manager" (select Galaxy S Captivate)

4) Backup your current ROM using "ROM manager" (save this as my-personal-backup -- you don't want to share this one)

5) Perform a "factory reset" (to clear out all your personal stuff, under settings -> privacy)

6) Re-root your phone (same as step #1)

7) Re-Install "ROM Manager" from the market, and then REMOVE your Google Apps account from Settings->Accounts and Sync

7 Alternate) Re-install "ROM Manager" via side-loading using attached APK and Sideloading Wonder

8) Re-flash Clockwork Recovery (same as step #3)

9) Make another firmware backup, and save it as "JH7-OTA-Stock" (or something)

10) Share that backup with us! It saved it in your internal SDcard memory under clockworkmod/backup

11) Restore your "my-personal-backup" firmware with "ROM Manager" to get back to normal

This will allow us all to try out the update. Thanks for whoever steps forward!

EDIT: I have attached my Titanium backup APK for ROM Manager -- you should be able to side-load this for step #7 "alternate"
[Captivate General] mmm_tacos:
If they do this and set up their market again, won't it save their username and password?

Wouldn't side loading Rom Manger be a better option?
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Yes, good point.. does anyone have the ROM manager APK on hand to attach? I can get it, but if someone can attach it faster than I, go for it :)
[Captivate General] maximus-dev:
This may be a dumb question, but does a factory reset restore the bloatware?
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I think so... but it would only be temporary. Once you restore back to your first backup, the bloatware would be gone again. Yes, the backup you share with us may have bloatware in it... but we have become very efficient at removing it :D
[Captivate General] jhego:
Does a succesful update mean having both PDA and Phone firmware read

I897UCJH7? I'm not sure how I achieved the PDA updating to JH7 since my update failed. I had to restart with Odin JF6 then to JH7, flashed Cognition and Voodoo Lag and was surprised that i have JH7 on the PDA and Phone.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Successful update is having the phone say "Update was successful" after it reboots. If it ever said the update failed, it didn't complete the update. It may have updated a few things (which you see in the "About Phone" section) -- but I highly suspect it isn't a 100% update and key things may be missing.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Nothing from me. Update is failed at 50% so I am not going to be trying again in hopes of keeping my phone unbricked. Sorry guys.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I get a fail at 50% too.. the only way I can think of us getting this update is either Samsung fixing it (which is unlikely anytime soon), or someone giving us a ROM manager backup.
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
I think that most of the people that are sent to this tread are newbies that may be scared of the "Root your phone" part of it. Can we attach the link that explains how to do it? ;)

Just a thought.
[Captivate General] cpk86:
That absolutely describes me! Haha. I'm totally willing to help out but nervous as hell to root/flash my phone as I have zero experience with that kind of stuff. I have been following xda for years now, by have never really done anything like that. If someone would be willing to help me out I might be able to do this.

Edit: I suppose it would have been helpful to mention that I did indeed have a successful update. ;)
[Captivate General] mike_terror:
Ditto, I think the people who HAVE successfully updated through OTA are newbs (I don't mean that in a derogatory way) because if they weren't newbs, they would have already flashed a few roms, played with rom manager, and used odin..... which wouldn't allow their device to update.
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
I see what you are saying, as long as one of them speaks up we can help.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Done (includes side-loading too!). We need to push more people over here :D
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I added a link to Super Rooter Extreme on the first post -- this should get you rooted and allow you to "side-load" (e.g. install applications from memory, not from the market). Let us know, we will walk you through it!
[Captivate General] flashman2002:
Well if you have successfully gotten the update, look in the dev section and you will see a thread titled one click root by tgagruman. Download that zip, unzip. Put phone to usb debugging and open the galaxy one click root application. Click root and watch the screen. When your phone goes to recovery mode select reinstall packages and hit the power button. That will be it.

Next you can download the sideload wonder machine to install the rom manager apk on your phone. After that it is just making a backup through rom manager and making a zip to host.
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
Question. Why is everyone freaking out about this update is it not thesame as the jh7 put on samfirmware.com weeks ago?? If not what is the difference my dad has the same phone and i did the update for him today and it was successful. I told him i dont need it i already have it. Are they the same
[Captivate General] NYCJOE:
Same with me. This stuff is way over my head but I'd like to help after seeing the issues others are having. Unfortunately I'm just a dummy with a smartphone:(
[Captivate General] pietro_spina:
super rooter might be scary. I know I chose the most minimal method when I did it the first time...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=682828

Download

Rename

boot in recovery...

and for sideload I used the manual editing of the settings DB method at the bottom of the link

http://samsungcaptivate.wikia.com/wiki/How_to_Sideload

just my humble opinion as a new captivate owner...

-p
[Captivate General] echonc:
My update was successful, and I am a newb. But ill give it a shot. I was rooted prior to the update, I still think I am... anyway to check so I can skip steps or do i need to start at the beginning?
[Captivate General] Gr8Danes:
Well, that is quite interesting. On another tread, someone says that they downloaded the JH7 from samfirmware today and it says ECLAIRE.UCJH7. Do you think it got updated to the one we are trying to get now?

I should have clarified that the Build Number was stated as being ECLAIRE.UCJH7 after updating today vs. Just saying ECLAIRE
[Captivate General] phr00t:
The JH7 firmware up on samfirmware.com is 270+MB, the "official" OTA one is much smaller. Samsung also said this is the GPS fix update. So, we can't complain the GPS hasn't been fixed until we test the "official" GPS-fixed JH7 ROM. Are they the same? Not sure, but I sure hope not. ;)
[Captivate General] phr00t:
If you are rooted, then you can skip the first root step... but that is it. Make sure you can "side-load" (using Super Rooter Extreme or the Side-loading wonder machine) for step #7.
[Captivate General] cmanatam:
I have downloaded the update and postponed installation (first attempt failed at 50%). I am rooted with root explorer installed. Can I find the downloaded update and copy out while it is postponed?
[Captivate General] roadrash7:
The JH7 firmware up on samfirmware.com is 270+MB, the "official" OTA one is [/QUOTE]

Is what??
[Captivate General] modest_mandroid:
Mine 'updated', sort of. It installed to 100%, then said the update failed. Reboot shows that baseband is at jh7. Tested gps on my drive home, worked great. 8 sats found instantly with 6 locks for the entire 30m drive. Update did not knock out my root or side loading capabilities though, as I was expecting it to (?). Perhaps that is what failed at 100% - the update failing to unroot my phone/settings.db?

Anyway, let me know if you want my successful unsuccessful rom image.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Ha, guess I shouldn't use the less-than sign!

I tried to find the update and failed.. other people have tried without much success.. but go for it -- you might find something we missed!
[Captivate General] Asraiil:
I actually have something similar. The update got to 100%, then after the reboot it says it failed and didn't install anything. FW says it's JH7, but the GPS doesn't seem to be any more sensitive or accurate, I have no QuickOffice, and I can't click on the Software Update button in Settings (it says "no firmware"). My phone was rooted with sideloading and non-market apps enabled. I did not use Odin for rooting, all manually done.

Not real sure where to go from here...
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
mine did the same thing, i continued to try and update again, as far as i could get after that failed attempt was the white screen with the preparing... then fail, not even 1%. i'm afraid you and i both are not fully updated.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
I'd really like a completely successful upgrade... feel free to share your ROM image, but just name it "almost-an-update" or something so we know it didn't report a successful update.

I ultimately want to complain to Samsung if the GPS hasn't been fully fixed, and I only feel comfortable doing that with a 100% successfully updated phone image. :-\
[Captivate General] pooler00:
Same thing here. My GPS is much better though! Im not sure exactly what Im missing but mine still just says "ECLAIR". My baseband does say JH7 though. I was rooted with bloatware removed and had sideloaded some apps.
[Captivate General] phr00t:
Let's not get sidetracked.. I want this thread to be about getting a ROM manager backup from a non-failed update.

Many many people are in your same position -- partially updated. We want a full, successful update.
[Captivate General] TheRealXenu:
I just got home with a brand new phone. The update is downloaded and waiting to install. I'm going to follow the directions outlined in the first post unless someone says otherwise. I'll try to get the rom uploaded tonight.
