I downloaded the update, and had the option to install or postpone. I selected postpone, which asks you to select 30 min, 2 hours, or 4 hours.

Right after I selected 30 min, I went back to the update screen, and selected "Resume Update". That screen says that I would be able to postpone 2 more times. That leads me to believe that once you download it, you only have up to a max of 12 hours until it will be installed. Unless your phone is off or you do something to prevent the install.

Just a note to those keeping tallies, I downloaded and it went through the install with no issues, although it hung at 50% for a minute. When it rebooted, it said the update was unsuccessful, and I can't really tell if anything happened.

Stock w/root.
[Captivate General] netnerd:
i wonder which is worse, a phone that drops calls. or a phone that cant get you home (if you lost), and you will be late for you appointment/meeting/interview/showtime if you depend on this samsung garbage! cus gps will give you all the wrong turns!
[Captivate General] zerocalories:
Thanks for posting this. Have you had the chance to test GPS functionality? i.e. actually driving around and see how tracking and lock do?
[Captivate General] brandonb81:
What should I do if I have Cognition? I have, supposedly, JH7 right now. GPS doesn't seem to be at all fixed. Should I do Odin and look for an update? Any suggestions?
[Captivate General] angrystraw:
I installed the push patch. Phone does seem a bit snappier...gps is the same though.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
About Phone:

Firmware Version- 2.1 -update1

Baseband- I897UCJH7

Kernal- 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build- Eclair

Got to 100% and FAILED! After reboot said it was unsuccessful. Though that is the information on my phone. It is rooted and stock rom. I tried the oneclick lag fix from the market and uninstalled it with titanium a few weeks ago. No idea where that Kernal came from? Also if it failed whyTF does it say JH7?

I wonder if AT&T has simply never owned up to there being a problem with GPS, so they totally ignore the issue and don't mention it in their list of fixes.

Samsung seems to think this is it.
[Captivate General] RDI:
Tried Update, Failed, Rebooted x 2, Software update=>No Firmware

It seems I ran the same stuff you did over my period of ownership because my list of stuff matches yours. I ran the updated, it did a ful download, tried to flash, and failed.

I have rebooted twice, once by the software and once I later did. I am still on I897UCJF6 and when I push the "Software Update" button it says No Firmware
[Captivate General] hosscat:
No root or lag fix here. Updated no problem. Haven't had a chance to test GPS yet.

One thing people with 100% and failure, have you checked your build number? Mine says ECLAIR.UCJH7 after successful update. I also have the Quickoffice software installed now.
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
FYI, this update DOES come in via cellular data. I tried doing the update via WiFi (by turning on Airplane mode and enabling WiFi) and it won't find the update. So yes, you need to have data coverage (3g,edge, gprs, whichever I'm sure).
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
That sounds exactly like AT&T's way of doing things. :rolleyes:
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Unintall the one-click lag fix app does not remove lag fix at all. You need to use the app to remove the lag fix before you remove the app. Good thing is you can re-intall the app again and use the app to remove the lag fix.
[Captivate General] UserNamer:
Ah, I see the problem. You are either not reading my comments or you simply do not understand them.

The issue is not with your advice to remove all lagfixes before attempting to apply this update. That's obviously good advice.

The issue is with your umbrella description of "all lagfixes" using the same method of repartitioning, etc. This is demonstrably incorrect, and potentially misleading in a robust troubleshooting process for those of us having difficulties.

No matter, now, as this thread is moving so quickly that your original post with the incorrect information is buried back far enough that few will read it or pay it any mind.
[Captivate General] Decer:
Just got my update.

As may others have said, dled fine. It restarted the phone and proceeded to install the update, hung at 50% for like 10 seconds then continued.

Restarted again, popped up a box that said it failed. Though when I go into "About Phone" it has JH7 there now

Firmware version: 2.1

Baseband version: I897UCJH7

Kernel Version: 2.9.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build Number: Bugless Beast Teaser : p

Only thing I've applied to the phone is "unleash the beast".. though I'm not sure what version it was when I installed that.. think it was still version 1

Don't really notice anything different about the phone speed wise.. so not really sure if its just saying JH7 is installed or if it really is.. already had quickoffice installed.. Youtube widget is the same for me (maybe because i'm using launcherpro?).. I'll get to play with the GPS tonight when I go geocaching..

Updating a little: I wasn't happy that I really had JH7 so I did an odin and reset everything. Downloaded the file again and at 50% of the install it fails. Factory reset it, tried again and it said "No Update Available"
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
Ugh....I must have tried multiple lagfixes....maybe I should try uninstalling ALL of the ones avalailable.....grrrrrr
[Captivate General] dougatkins:
gets to 100%, but states unsucessful

I was rooted, but with no lagfix or anything else exotic (did remove AT&T bloat, however).

The baseband version reads I897UCJH7.

I already had downloaded quickoffice from the market, so I don't know about that.

I unrooted and will try to apply the update again.

I'll test the GPS at lunch.

Any other ideas about what to do?
[Captivate General] WD333:
I didn't get an OTA notice so I tried the "change the calendar date" trick and it worked. Was able to download and install it successfully. My phone is stock out-of-the-box.

It hung at about 50% during installation for about 30-45 seconds and when it rebooted, it did hang at the Galaxy S screen for a minute or so. Then when my home screen popped up, the media scan ran a little long but not sure if this was just because it was the initial scan after install or not.

As someone posted earlier, the YouTube widget is slightly different. It now shows a "Most Viewed" running list next to the Search button.

In total from start of download to installation complete, about 10 minutes.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
Anyone know if the update referred to in the Engadget article (the one w/the GPS fix) is indeed this JH7 update? Or is there perhaps another update on the way?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
And you never answered my question. Convert or create another partition doesn't really make a big difference here. If the native OS can't read them without addition driver installation, it is the same thing.
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:
tomato tomoto, jesus you guys. Give it a rest.

I've got to get off this board and get back to work. If noone figures a fix in a few hours, I'll TRY to help, but I make no guarantees. But I'm totally neglecting my dayjob by screwin' with this.
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
Very interesting guys:

http://www.engadget.com/2010/09/22/samsung-captivate-gets-gps-fix-other-galaxy-s-versions-wait-pat/

According to Engaget, this has a GPS update.

Did the date trick and its downloading now.
[Captivate General] shamelin73:
Mine DL fine but failed

I have the ATT bloat removed and unrooted

added the Circle battery mod.

any Ideas?
[Captivate General] keitht:
Here is my experience. I have a rooted phone but did not install any ROM's, lag fixes etc. I did install battery circle mod and removed ATT bloatware. I haven't had the same satellite lock issues with GPS but the accuracy was horrible. Google navigation would have me driving through trees with constant rerouting. So I have not used GPS much because of this.

I set my date forward to get the update. The install process took a long time at 50% but then went to 100% and said it failed. Rebooted phone and it also said the update failed. Setting > About phone incremented the baseband version.

The release notes stated QuickOffice but I did not see this in my applications so I searched the market and there it was. I am not sure if this was available before the update or not. But I was able to install it no problems.

Now for the big issue with GPS accuracy. I just got back from a drive and I can tell you with 100% certainty that the GPS is now working flawlessly for me. I did not have a single reroute and the turn by turn was dead on! I am pretty sure there are GPS fixes in this update.
[Captivate General] manwiththedroid:
I did update on rooted phone. It said the update failed but it did update to jh7... but i did have to setup all my icons and widgets again.
[Captivate General] amazingtaters:
Here's what my about readout looks like:

Firmware Version: 2.1

Baseband Version: I897UCJH3

Kernel version: 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build Number: Bugless Beast Teaser :P .UCJF6

I did a check for update, dl'd the update fine, chose to install, phone rebooted. Upon reboot I was informed that update had failed. Now when I click on the check for updates bit in settings, it simply says No Firmware. So, would I have any luck if I flashed back to JH6 then tried this again. Or could I go through and find where the upadte is stored and try to reflash?
[Captivate General] iamcgn:
I had the exact same config. I got the no firmware so I one clicked to JF6. Now I can't get the update to show up... :( I did the date trick and it still says there's no update available. Has anyone been able to overcome that issue?
[Captivate General] jebabcock:
i applied the update... Scanning didn't really seem to be improved that i could tell... At least here at work, my wifi is not working at all now... have to use mobile data... anyone else have this issue? It connects and shows a connection.. but no data is transferred and everything times out... i disable wifi and boom things come through on mobile data just fine...
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
OK, manual update success. I can also confirm that the GPS locks on much, much faster now. GMaps locked on in less than 10secs. Using GPS Status, I also got a quick lock, followed by 10/10 satellites (something I'd never seen on JF6), however, the error oscillated between 10m & 15m... not so sure that'd be all that accurate for driving...

Not rooted; stock ROM
[Captivate General] Stephenv1971:
I don't see an option like that for odin one-click. I guess I need to use odin3? Anyone got a guide for that?
[Captivate General] connectx:
Hello,

I did OTA update and it failed. My phone is rooted.

Current baseband version is ucjh7

I will try to unroot and do Calendar trick. Anyone knows on how do you do Calendar Trick ?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate General] mikeypopps:
Settings

If anybody has successfully done the OTA update, can they please post the stock JH&GPS settings from the LBSTEstMode menu?
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
go into settings and uncheck auto-update in date/time and set the date a day forward.
[Captivate General] revjwb32:
i unrooted and did the calender fix still failed for me...

good luck
[Captivate General] mchimney:
I've tried this but it always seems to revert my clock back to today.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate General] SkitchBeatz:
i un lagfixed and tried to update from jf6. it failed around 50% i think. I was rooted. I just unrooted and fastforwarded a day. trying it again with no root/no lagfix. expecting it to fail

edit: yup. it failed. the phone is reporting JH7 like everyone else though
[Captivate General] tnayrbj:
updated

Okay I had:

Rooted

AT&T bloatware removed

Pimped my captivate and that is all.

update got to 50% and frooze, for awhile, and then continued quickly to 100% and then said failed.

I looked at the system and it has JH7 and and firmware 2.1-update1.

I am not the smartest person on this site but I am guessing what happened is the system updated and since I do not have bloatware it failed there???

not sure,

Jon
[Captivate General] connectx:
Thank you !!!:)
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
well i managed to not get the install to work, reset the clock up to oct 1 but the date wont stick. looks like i'll wait my 215hrs till i can check again though this update will probably be gone since its only thru friday? oh well.. note to self my iphone was much easier to get updates.
[Captivate General] t-readyroc:
Just tried & can no longer get into the GPS menu using *#*#1472365#*#*
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
Guys, I would re-root and bring everything back to stock. I did the update on two separate stock phones without any issues at all. Seems like if you have the phone rooted, it will say failed but will still update.

First impressions is actually really good. The phone feels a little faster. The videos are smoother and so is the gallery. When I opened maps it found my location instantly instead of getting the %waiting for location" message. Accuracy was 1000 meters, but I didn't turn on the GPS.

Also the signal strength and internet speed seems much faster, and stronger for me.

Card scan seems to be the same, and my exchange server setting still will not save. I go into the sync options and try to set it to "automatic(push)" and when I hit save and go back into the setting it goes back to the default 15 minutes. Oh well...I can deal.
[Captivate General] wesblog:
I had previously used lagfix, but I used Odin one click to flash back to stock.

I tried the update twice. I never got a "failed" message, but after the phone rebooted it said. "The update was not completed"

Now I am stuck with

Firmware Version 2.1-update1

Baseband version 1897ucjf6

Kernal version 2.6.29 jetaek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number Eclair

Any ideas? I don't know what to try next.
[Captivate General] connectx:
I was thinking maybe to unroot it. I am on the same boat as you are now.
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
+1, anyone know the new code to get into it? Maybe the vibrant or other carrier has a different code we can try?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Ok Im all backed up and ready to give it a go. I just have a few questions.

I don't use the Sense Launcher and have almost nothing on my home screens. just the scrolling dock at the bottom. launcher pro.

What are some things I am going to lose?

What is the differences in the Camera? Details?

What are the differences in the Dialer?

I like the dialer on Fresh 3.2 because of the FB integration.

I don't use 4G

I have not used HDMI as my flatscreen has a CPU connected already.

Is it possible to have the gallery from 3.2 with the FB pictures tab? or is that a sense thing?

Basically I don't know what all is strictly sense.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
the default aosp dialer has what i consider to be a fault. you can't just spell out the name of contact. so i started using DialerOne.

dont' forget to check out both CM6 related threads (both are a bit quiet, but will answer many of the questions you may cross...search is your friend)

not sure on the FB stuff since I don't use it except to fill in the pics in my contact list.

give it a whirl. it will be a bit different.

enjoy.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Thanks Draginmagik (sportbike rider?) I had already thought out what I wanted to ask while at work and only had time to ask while on lunch. Figured Id get some input from some people who had used both but your input is appreciated to. I forgot about dialer one. That is one of my favorite things about the dialer I have. I tried Dialer One on The moment but couldn't get it to come up with the green button. I guess thats not a problem with the evo.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wanfaltm:
A few things ive noticed in Fresh 3.2 Vs Cyanogen mod is that...

Fresh's battery life (by itself, no kernal flashed) is by far the best of any of the ROMS ive used.

I like the sense camera sooooooo much more than the default android camera so thats a no brainer for me.

I do like the AOSP call history though, its much easier to navigate to and through.

Overall, im running Cyanogen right now but ill probably go back to Fresh later tonight... the battery difference is amazing.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Reading a little more I don't see where Sprint vvm / weird text message is there or not. I hated that on the Hero AOSP roms. Also want to get opinions on GPS as i need it to work at the end of this week. I will be flashing this tonight, just want to get some feedback so dont need the "just try it" post. Again, Im just trying to get a comparison so I know what to look for faster after I flash to be sure I like it before I head home this weekend. Once I get on the road and get back home, phone playtime is over until I get caught up at home . hahaha.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Have you tried Kings ASOP kernrel? Im using #3 BFS and its great if I dont use the phone but it seems to suck down pretty quick when the phone wakes up. I'm over the battery thing, I just started carrying my usb cable in my back pocket and hit up a usb plug when I see one. lol But thanks for the info. Ill keep an eye on that too.

Can you explain the difference? I just figured out on the Fresh camera that if you touch the screen it focuses on that spot. Awesome feature. Wish my real camera did that.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
not sure how the stock CM6 kernel is. a few days ago the CM6 nightly was upped to the .34 kernel. the custom ROM's are mostly on the .32 kernel still. i ran Kings on CM and it was 'ok'. the UI was smooth but the battery life reminded me of my previous stock kernels. perhaps as he rolls out more kernels that will be adjusted.

Cyanogen wrote the camera app in CM6. it also has the point touch focus. it has been much improved from the default aosp camera.

c'mon...make ur nandroid and jump in the beautiful cyan colored waters. :)
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
All nanded up and flashed and restored most of my apps. Pandora sounds great. Ill test it in the shop but in the hotel its loud! I didn't Know that was a feature.

I liked the look of the dialer until the phone rang. YUK!

Im trying to finish up my Manup them but not sure if the ZIP I already have for the notification bar will work with CM6

The camera work good so far, as long as the pictures take good im OK with that. I hate 3d gallery, always have. its on my list of things to fix.

I downloaded the one in the link. Your on nightlys right? do they seem stable enough for you? whats the best way to try those out? The github link is kinda over my head.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lokifish:
Cant forget having the ability to zoom while recording video. That's one of the big pluses of CM.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] yamaford:
Well I found that the stock notification bar zip that I had on file won't work. I got the little blue android of death. After a quick reflash of cm6 all is well. still need that manup theme.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DraginMagik:
i'm on the 9/15 nightly. i think it was the 'swipe away items from the notification bar' feature or maybe a camera update that got me to flash up from the CM6final.

running it with -snap 7.6bfs kernel

currently, the CM6nightlys have slowed down so you just kinda keep an eye on the thread for nifty new features or updates...other than that, it's been very very stable for me since well before CM6final was released.

Straight from Toast:

He also said that he'd be handing out suspensions for repeat offenses, just so everyone knows.

Here's XDA's official announcement.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
Well, that sucks. I'm glad I have my copy. I don't know why Swype just doesn't put their app on the market. I'd a paid for it were there a trial version I could have tried. Personally, I love Swype and I don't know how I managed without it. The only thing I missed about my Blackberry when I switched was the typing. With Swype, my BB is a distant memory now.

Edit: Is Swype under contract with a certain carrier/manufacturer?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
I think they have OEM contracts with most of the major manufacturers because we're seeing more and more handsets preloaded with Swype. They could still make bank off a Market version, though...
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] Adanedhels:
So...

Does this mean we have to either be in the beta or know someone in the beta to get a copy of swype now? That makes me sad.....
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
I agree. Hopefully they will put it on the market once those contracts expire so everyone can get it and have full support on it.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] PPCUserT:
they really should just go market. i have a few different copies saved, dont know how many of them are expired or not. as long as i have one working copy, i'm good. once those expire though...... blah
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] dekcufi:
I think it is crappy that if you want swype you have to purchase a phone you do not want to get it... shame on swype

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] bluebeast213:
Man, that really ticks me off because I was really getting into themeing swype. My thread had over 4000 views in 3 days.....and tons of downloads. Oh well, at least I still have my Carbon Fiber versions to use.........I guess I'll have to move on to themeing something else.

P.S. Do not start posting asking me to PM you a link, or they will delete this thread too.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] mrmylanman:
Hopefully one day they offer a paid version. I put Swype on my phone a while ago (before I switched to CM6... so it was probably 2 months ago?) and I liked it a lot. I'd gladly pay $2-3 for it or something like that.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] TheBiles:
Because we're enjoying Swype right now?
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] rugedraw:
Every time I see this guy (gqstatus0685) comment on anything, it's usually some BS. I was going to say something, but all that would happen was the thread would get cluttered with a bunch of nonsense.

Yea, we got owned. Owned so badly, that Swype had to come here and beg the forum to stop posting their app (that isn't supposed to be on our phones) on here. Sure........the devs/members from here, the ones who figured out how to put it on phones that weren't supposed to have it, are the ones that got "owned". Edit: Not to mention, like TheBiles said, we still HAVE Swype.

smh
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] gqstatus0685:
No I get annoyed at the fact that people on XDA storm in on threads claiming OP's are breaking forum etiquette and rules and get mad when people call them out on their threads. It's just funny that's all.

[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] KiamatDusk:
Just FYI: when my last Swype .apk expired, I DL'd the SlideIT beta and played with it for a few days before I snagged a new Swype. While I definitely prefer Swype, SlideIT was definitely serviceable and way better than the stock keyboard.

So if you can't get your hands on Swype, give it a try. It's in the Marketplace.
