Any friendly soul that can post the new musicplayer apk from this rom?

No update

I am rooted, no sideloading or lagfix installed. Even before root, stickly out of the box, still received the message I am receiving now.

Communication Failed

Unable to communicate with the AT&T server​

I called AT&T, they were not help. They said it was because of network issues in my area. When I explained to them it's been that way since I received the phone, they had no answers.

Hi to all, My question is is their a way to send a message when texting by pressing a key or enter ? I use a bluetooth keyboard and would like to just press enter to send my text message. Instead of having to touch the icon on screen .

thanks in advance.

Maybe you can start such a poll in every device forum and compare the results.

BTW the results up to now are very predictable.

Nice poll anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Tehpriest:
As I said no real point but then again does everything we do need one?

At a guess I would say iPhlop would be the 30-40 range and blackberry would be 40-50. Nokia don't have a competitor at the moment and HTC is the <20's phone of choice. All conjecture of course.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] AllGamer:
see, that makes a perfect point for me :D

very interesting stats even if not accurate, i do agree with those numbers
[Galaxy S I9000 General] nemethb:
I'm 21.

This poll is extremely biased. The only people that will be coming on here to vote are the ones that are somewhat technologically inclined and actually care about the device they're using. Thus, what you'll see is most likely people from 18-30 yo.

None-the-less, good poll. :)
[Galaxy S I9000 General] john306:
Well I've just hit 50, should I vote for the 40-50 or 50-60, hmmm

35+ is the generation which has grown up without electro stuff, so numbers are dropping.

Bet if you do this poll again in 20 years there won't be such a drop between 20 and 50 ^^ That's why the electronics industry grows that fast...

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
I forgot that my phone was plugged into my PC with the sd card mounted. I checked for update and it found one and started the download. The download just sat there at 0%. I realized my usb was connected and unmounted it (thinking that the update somehow was waiting for the SD card). No change, so I clicked Cancel on the upload screen. I then tried Check for Update and again and it said "no firmware". I rebooted and tried again. Still same message. I then tried "Resume update" instead of "Check for update". It said it found an update and would reboot the phone in 5 seconds. The phone then rebooted and it started to apply the update. This seemed very wrong to me because the updated certainly didn't have time to download. The update failed and it said it was rebooting my phone. The phone went off and now I can't get it to start back up. I press the power and get nothing. I pulled the battery and sim card. Still nothing. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] a.n:
Yikes, that's a sticky situation you've got yourself into. From reading around the forums it seems that the update was bricking phones anyway; however, from what you described it seems like that isn't your case. If you can't power on your phone, then there isn't a way to head back to stock or fix the update, that I know about. You might think about calling Samsung or AT&T and saying you tried applying the update, but now your phone won't power on.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThisWasATriumph:
try holding both volume keys and power button until you see something then release power.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hollowayXDA:
If you bought your phone from an AT&T store and you have one close to you, I would take it in and show it to them. They replaced mine on the spot, took me less than 5 minutes.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
I already tried that. I held them for 1 min. It just doesnt turn on. The battery was about 75%, so I know it's not dead.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
I bought it from Best Buy. Also, it has been more than 30 day. I'm not even sure who to bring it to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Superguy:
Check and see if there's a warranty center in your area. AT&T has one on the south side of Baltimore. You walk in, they test it real quick and if they can't fix it, they give you a new phone. Much quicker than exchanging it by mail if there's one close to you.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PRS_Player:
Have you tried holding both vol up/down while plugging in usb to get into download mode?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMC_Sherpa:
hold the + and - volume buttons and plug the usb back in, if you get to download mode your not quite dead yet

must type faster next time......
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
Yup. Nothing. Screen stays black. No sign of life.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bamathrasher:
Damn I was really close to messing mine up too then from the sound of it. I noticed my phone downloading some kind of update today too, well I immediately hit cancel, not knowing what it would do and wanting to come do some research here before accepting it. When I went back, I also hit Resume Update and it gave me the same "no firmware" error, then I hit check for update and it gave me an error message that said "You have not waited 24 hours since the last time you checked for an update, please wait 23...."

Guess I wont be trying to update tomorrow afterall
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] graceflanger:
I had the same problem, but my phone completely downloaded the update. Couldn't power it on at all even if I pushed the + - volume button with power button. Took it to ATT and told them that it happened when I applied the update, and since I was over my 30 day update, they called some ATT replacement hotline and they are sending me one today.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] revjwb32:
ditto on a dead phone because of OTA my wifes not mine(glad it was hers)

stock captivate update stopped at 87% then went black, no power at all, not even the volume +- way

called att 2 day air on a replacement of course its a refurb but better than no phone at all....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ice3186:
oven

Well i am going to sound like nutcase but have you tried putting into the oven? I am being 100% serious. Look over in the i9000 forums and i think there were some people that were bricked beyond recognition and they did some crazyness such as putting it in the oven at 350 untill it was hot to the touch but not melting and it got their phones into download......just a thought and no i am not lying it worked for them!!!!

Best of luck guys
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] JorgeC:
Remove the battery and put it again, without turning the phone on, press volume up + volume down, and then plug it to the USB connected to your computer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] richb500:
That didn't work either. I will receive a replacement phone tomorrow. I hate getting a refurb. My phone is in perfect condition. I hope the replacement one is too.

Here's something that I did discover. I don't think the phone is actually dead. I think it's stuck in some kind of loop, making it completely unresponsive. I had it sitting in my dest drawer today for several hours. When I took it out it was pretty warm - as if was clocking some pretty serious cpu or network traffic. Either way, it's a brick, but I think it a living brick, not a dead brick. :) In case you're wondering, my office was like a refridgerator today, so it wasn't from the warm room.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rkorzuch:
I have received several refurbs over the years and all the phone appear to be brand new. I already exchanged my Captivate one. Not a scratch on them. Even though they say they are refurbs the device appears to be new product. You will not have a problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sayurann:
i got mine bricked too, it was perfectly fine before the update... it stopped at 50% and then it said update failed, phone rebooted, and then it never open its eyes again, its DEAD... omg, good job att! morons giving us wrong software...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dirtblade:
I've had the same issue but I was able to fix it. Unfortunately, I don't remember the exact steps, you will have to try for a few times until you make it work.

When your phone is "dead":

1. Take out SIM+SD cards (keep your battery in)

2. USB connect to your PC

3. Start Odin3

4. VolUp+Power and wait until a few red colored lines will show up (if not then try for a few times until they show up), you should see something like this:

RST_STAT =0x1

PMIC_IRQ =0x3c

..... and so on.

5. When you see the red lines press VolUp+VolDown+Power

6. The red lines will go off/on in a few seconds but you keep holding VolUp+VolDown+Power

7. When red lines will go off for a second time just release Power, you should get back to download mode

8. Use Odin3 to re-flash

Good luck!

[Vibrant General] Kubernetes:
If you go over to the Captivate forum, many many many people are reporting failed updates, including possible brickage in some instances. There doesn't seem to be a common thread to the failure (root, lagfixed, custom ROM, etc.); it's just widespread and seemingly random. Some people have stock Captivates that won't update successfully, while others have updated rooted phones and maintained root.

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say "T-Mobile and Samsung, please take your time and make the Vibrant update perfect."
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Not only that, but also if you read AC at all they are planning another OTA for the Epic because the last OTA slowed their 3G speeds waaayyy doownn
[Vibrant General] presence06:
That's what I said in the other thread about the update. MAYBE, just maybe T-Mobile held off on the update for the GPS/other fixes just to see how the update did on ATT and Verizon and go from there. I'm not as upset over the fact that we didn't get any update, so I agree with you. Take your time Samsung and T-Mo and make this update awesome and worthy to hold us until 2.2 gets here :D
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Read that tonight too. Other carriers are "Pawns" while T-Mo users wait while the bugs get fixed and the others have to deal with them maybe?
[Vibrant General] MMcCraryNJ:
Wonder what this will do to everyone here who have been endlessly complaining about T-Mobile not updating fast enough like all of the other companies.

....Probably nothing now that I think about it.
[Vibrant General] qreffie:
Maybe T-Mobile is shooting for quality. I just wish they'd tell us about it instead of being super tight lipped. A simple "the update did not meet our QA standards" message would do the job. Saying absolutely nothing is only hurting them. Same for Samsung. Give us a release date for Froyo, even if it's Dec. 27th. They've got nothing to lose since people in the know are already being persuaded to not buy the phone and people not in the know are still going to buy it because of all the pretty colors.

What sucks is, them having to fix this problem is probably only going to slow down the time frame of when we should get our update.
[Vibrant General] dcontrol:
My gfs captivate updated without a problem, I guess shes in the minority though
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Got a tweet from TMO after I asked them and SamsungMobileUS about the update

Hopefully that means that we will get an update that doesn't mess with our Vibrants which I was for a little bit thinking about selling.
[Vibrant General] rakeshchn:
I have made up my mind not to accept any OTAs. I am running a great custom rom called bionix now and I trust the devs here to do wonderful things for our phones.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
Same response I got when I tweeted them this morning about not getting updates for the Vibrant. Again, I just have a feeling T-Mo is just seeing how these other updates go and then they can tweak theirs to just work (hopefully)Flawlessly.
[Vibrant General] Ms_Vibrant:
same response i got when i tweeted them earlier..

well let's hope that the update will be bug-free and the update process is not troublesome like bricking our phones..

is it possible that tmobile is not working enough on asking samsung to update our vibrant that's why it is taking a long time for them to update our phone? vibrant is the very first to be released and why is it the last one to get an update?? or is it because there isnt much vibrant users and thus makes samsung less focused on updating it? ughh

just wondering
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
I'm running the new Froyo ROM, but would like to have a good working stock ROM to go back to in case I need too
[Vibrant General] lotherius:
Seriously, someone should buy the programmers that work for these vendors an actual phone to test their releases on.
[Vibrant General] presence06:
A lot of peole have been wondering if T-Mo/Verizon/ATT test their phones before launch. The only one that's had little issue is Sprints Epic. Samsung pushed for this device to be released in the States, even though people have been complaining about the GPS issues..
[Vibrant General] backslide311:
I too don't plan on accepting any OTA updates. I still don't understand why some of the peeps that visit XDA are all QQ over slow/lack of updates for the Vibrant. Not to mention all the QQ'ers about Froyo. FOR GODS SAKE we are at XDA the majority of us don't even run Stock UI's or would accept an OTA due to running a different rom.

I wish all the douche nozzles would just STFU.
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
+1 for common sense about XDA Vibrant users
[Vibrant General] heygrl:

[Vibrant General] Tpavey:
It would be nice so the devs would have an official rom with official drivers that are optimized to start with. The froyo we have now doesn't have a nice JIT, correct?
[Vibrant General] gothdroid:
Not yet, its still a work in progress, but even without JIT still getting around ~14 MFLOPS in linpack

[Vibrant General] Tarzanman:
A lot of people talked smack about Samsung when they announced that they were making a high end Android phone.

So far, I have to say that the people who said that Samsung was bad (and/or slow) about software/fixes (a la the Behold) have been proven right so far.

The phone launched July 15. It is two months in and Motorola has beaten them to the punch.

I guess we shall see what the future holds
[Vibrant General] MacGuy2006:
"douche nozzles?!" Really?! Did they send you home from grade school?

Lemme guess, this is your first smartphone and you are the envy of all at the local Dairy Queen?

Even funnier, you've been on XDA for barely two months, and now you ARE XDA, and anyone who is not as giddy as you is a "douche nozzle?"

LOL.
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
Just run bionix. My phone is crazy fast now and I couldn't care less about any sort of update.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Wow... you really got offended. He has just as much claim to be XDA as you. Your time here means nothing. Make sure you understand what thread we are on before you start prancing about on your high horse.

Douche nozzle is pretty lawlish as well... why dont you QQ about it.
[Vibrant General] smutek:
I understand folks who don't want to root and feel they should not have to do this to get a good experience from their phones. It's a completely justified and realistic position. I kind of felt the same way and after rooting and trying vibrant 4 some weeks ago I ultimately un-rooted and flashed back to stock.

Last night I flashed bionix 1.3 / kings and this phone is running great now. It seems to be working the way it is supposed to. I personally don't put much faith in quadrant but I ran a test and only scored in the 900's - however, the phone is now incredibly fast and responsive with zero lag. This reinforced for me that quadrant scores have little bearing on the actual on the user experience. If you are into that sort of thing a version of bionix with lag fix is available, but my phone is running really snappy without it and I'm very happy. :)

I'm also locking an average of 5 or more sats in under 30 seconds now.

It took me a total of 15 minutes to root and flash the rom. No Odin or anything like that, just rom manager, a USB cable, 2 zip files and that's it.

So a big plus 1 for bionix, or for any of the offerings from Eugene. Flashing a custom rom may not be an ideal solution but it's dead easy, you can revert back, and it will greatly improve the experience of using this phone.
[Vibrant General] NoDataFound:
Thank you for this. I need these types of reports prior to flashing. It took me almost a year of carrying around a rooted G1 prior to trying custom roms. Mainly because i didnt want to break my daily driver.

That said doing so was my best move ever. Now i use my G1 tehtered to my Vibrant for internet and testing roms.

Ill give thia bionix a shot and see how ahe shakes out.
[Vibrant General] bauerlucas:
I spent I good half reading about how at@t screwed every one. Sounds like t mobile knows what they are doing. They have had android the longest I think they should have some clue.
[Vibrant General] RageR6:
Been trolling these forms for awhile and I will probably be bashed for this but oh well

There is one thing I've noticed no matter what happens there will always be complaints. No use fighting or telling them to stop, it will come no matter what..

People complaining about how slow T-Mo is to update will be the same people who will complain if T-Mo had actually sent out an update first, but ended up being buggy, you would here those same people say, "why couldn't you have waited and tested fully before releasing!"

Patience is a virtue, the fact that they are even updating their phones shows this is not another Behold moment.

now back to trolling..
[Vibrant General] dalepa:
I told my coworker about the captivate update yesterday and he click on update... BRICKED (wont even power on)... Sorta feel bad, but not too much since I told him not to go with at&t
[Vibrant General] christpuncher:
i just feel that both sides are right. tmo and samsung both suck for their respective reasons (not mentioning any sort of update/releasing a faulty product), but on the other hand i'm pretty grateful i can load up a rom that some stranger on the internet made and it makes my phone run the way it should. yes it's terrible that a major company released a product with a major feature broken, but we should all be glad that we have the ability/knowledge/resources/etc to fix these problems on our own. like i said, just load up bionix and be glad we have xda.
[Vibrant General] DKYang:
Motorola = 3 phones (Droid, Droid X, Droid 2)

Samsung = ?? phones (Korean Version, International Version, Vibrant, Captivate, Epic, Fascinate, US Cellular version, European Carriers, Canadian Carriers)

Of course Motorola would beat Samsung to the punch. I don't know how the company has structured everything inside so I can't say anything about that, but just buy looking at how many versions they have to keep up with. It's impossible to get an update up within 2 months unless T-mobile was actually helping out with the update; depending on the amount of resources T-mobile used, then technically, it should have been out already.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
This is one of the main reasons i'm contemplating switching to windows phone 7. No custom skins = extremely easy OS updates, plus the UI is much better looking. However, no multitasking and not many apps have are a major disadvantage.

I'm really hoping android 3.0 does away with custom skins to help with timely updates. Knowing google, they have something up their sleeve to help/alleviate android fragmentation.
