Sort of Fix for 'No VM Notif' problem

One temporary solution for this problem - Use NoLED app from Market.

When a new vm comes in, it shows an indicator on the screen. And, of course, it's great for any other notification too.

I have tried using adb but it does not connect to the phone. the command "adb devices" does not find the attached phone and, also, "adb reboot download" doesn't work either. Message "Error: device not found"

One click odin doesn't need recovery mode. It worked for me even from the error screen (computer - phone). If that doesn't work even after restarting computer and trying different usb cable then I haven't seen anything else that would.
[Captivate Android Development] justmde:
Sometime the best thing is to walk away for a few min. Then go back make sure everything is out of your phone battery ect. then start odin then hold volume buttons and insert the battery and then usb cable. If that does not work try a different usb port on the back of the computer. I have read they work better good luck if you had three button out of the box it will work just takes time good luck

Lost my SMS?

Well, I think I killed my SMS... I was getting poor dload speeds so I was playing with the phone band settings *#*#197328640#*#* and also with *#*#4636#*#*... I think I have blown away my SMSC number...

Anyone familiar with that? and what the SMSC is supposed to be? I'm in Atlanta, GA. AT&T.

I've tried to update to the numbers here: http://www.wireless.att.com/answer-center/solutionDisplay.jsp?solutionId=KB38686 but clicking update shows "Update Error"

Help me please! I've fallen and I can't send a text!
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I have to say that is a new one on me..... I have NEVER sen that stated..... almost tempted to brick to try it =)
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
Have you tried this?

1. Take out the battery and sim, wait at least 10 seconds.

2. Plug in USB cable

3. Hold down Vol Up/Down + Power button

4. Insert Battery

5. Release Power button, while holding Vol Up/Down

If I remembered that right, that has brought me instantly to download mode when I thought my phone was bricked. (LCD wouldn't even light up or display anything)

If someone else can confirm the above sequence, that would be great...
[Captivate Android Development] norcal einstein:
First time I've seen that too. Always thought ODIN needs to be in download mode...
[Captivate Android Development] Reita:
+1 to Windows not recognizing the phone in download mode anymore.

I had to uninstall Samsung's drivers, reboot, then reinstall Samsung drivers in order to get the phone recognized again and then One-click Odin back to stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Chillyw:
Flashed to 2.4.1 this morning. It's the first custom ROM I've flashed, and so far I'm liking it a lot. Had my phone hard lock on me once when I woke it up from sleep, but other than that it's really smooth.

I'm happy to note that the native Exchange support works! I thought upgrading to Froyo would break it since SP1 was supposed to break it, but it works.

Also, I used the GPS setting instructions previously posted and tested it when I went to lunch. Worked great!

I was also shocked at how simple it was using ClockworkMod Recovery. Good stuff.

Thanks DG!
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
I can't put it into download mode or recovery mode. If I hold the down volume and power on it sits at the ATT screen. If I hold the up volume and power on it sits at the ATT screen and if I hold both up/down volume plus power it just sits at the screen.

Is it just bricked for good now? **** ROM manger everything was done by the book and it said it had successfully restored the ROM I flashed back to and now this.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Ahhhh.... now I see what you did.... tried restoring one custom rom over a different one....
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Would this mean that you dont have the windows drivers installed correctly? Potentially, its that debug wasnt checked as well...not sure but someone can chime in and say.

I dont know what else to tell you, maybe some of the more senior members can assist as I have told you all I know. If you have tried the 3 ways to get into download and it failed, cant get into recovery because it fails and cant use adb, I dont know.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Have you tried removing the battery, reinserting the battery, holding down both the up and down volume buttons and then attaching the usb cable that is already attached to your computer? This is how I always go into download mode.

Thanks for all of the help. You guys are awesome. After all of my trial and error I finally got my phone into download mode simply by restarting my computer. Didn't think that my phone not working would be caused by my computer.

[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Yes. For what it's worth I was fortunately able to restore the phone with Odin 1 Click but I had to use the odd Method 3 of entering download mode. Even then it took the exact sequence of events to make it work right. For people in my previous position, keep reading the issues posts made by others when having trouble with download mode and Odin 1 Click.
[Captivate Android Development] Atokade:
I concur :)

You shouldn't need the POWER button for download mode.

I've always done these steps and they take me to download mode without fail:

Remove the battery, plug in the cable, hold the UP and DOWN volume buttons and reinsert the battery while the buttons are pressed.

I always found that following instructions telling me also use the POWER button never got me anywhere and lead to incredible frustration before I found the above steps.

Excellent ROM at 2.4

Wow, a lot of peopple still stuck at the basics of flasing using ODIN - when you go back to stock rom using ODIN - backup your ROM using ROM MANAGER, after you install root file, and TITANIUM BACKUP. That way you will have something to always fall back on. Also, delete all user cache and information during ROM swap - saves time. I have PHONE FUSION VISUAL VOICEMAIL and still rec message telling me that I have a VM. For those with data issues, go to your settings, wireless and network, and to mobile networks and have your phone search for the network - that worked for me. Sometimes, a 2nd or flash is needed if you do not return to stock. For a great launcher, try ADW - it has several free and 99c themes at the MARKET, and has many of the features you find with LAUNCHER PRO, with less issues.

DG, that app that stops stuff from running upon boot - I ditched it because the many FC issues it caused, so nm that.

ok, so for those having flashing issues - you should really check out the other threads that pertain to your problem, and it create less clutter on this thread. Hopefully, DG starts a new thread on here because it is a pain the arse looking through the hundreds of posts on here, with half of them concerning issues that should be resolved elsewhere....ciao...;)
[Captivate Android Development] TheTodFather:
LOL your so right. I see all these noob ass cog related questions penetrating other threads as well. Wish people would learn some manners and stop being lazy sobs cause it def takes the joy out of reading threads. Well if your like me then don't encourage people by giving them answers to things that have been answered a thousand times! This thread is a huge cesspool who the hell would want to read these posts 836 pages of crap! Seriously you guys need a mod to clean this up. No wonder nobody bothers to read it's just garage! Please for the love of God. Research before you post a question. Dont be a douchebag!

Adding Email Accounts

First post on the forum here. You can put me in the lurker category, but really appreciate all the knowledge on these forums.

I just flashed v2.4.1 and everything seems to be working well with the exception of being able to add my email accounts. After clicking on the add account buttons, I get the to haptic feedback vibes and then it crashes back to the home screen.

Any ideas?

EDIT: Nevermind. Just go to Manage Applications, choose Email, then clear the data. All is well. Big 'duh moment.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
It still doesn't work for me on 2.4.1 so I did what someone had posted previously and put the phone.apk that is probably a few pages back now from an older rom. This time all I replaced was the phone.apk and INSTANTLY I received my voicemail notification. I have a link to drop box and to download.

DG fing great work again. Thanks for all your hard work.

Is the battery life from 2.4 to 2.4.1 any better? I feel like it's worse than what I was getting on the leaked JI6 Froyo that I was running before...Wifi and GPS are both off. I lost 5% battery while the phone was asleep and I was at work. I had ATK running to kill tasks while the screen is off...but 5%? Seems a bit steep
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
lol, ATK, do you really need ANOTHER tasker killer? Android has one built in, plus there is a manual one, task manager...

killing off apps that start right back up again.. well you get the picture... killing it, auto restarts, killing it, auto restarts, killing it,auto restarts...

wonder where your battery is going... ;)

[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have applied the lag fix on 2.2.5 and I will say I really dont notice much, if any, difference. It may be in my head that I "think" I see a faster transition on menu changes.

My question is I see references to "all the problems" that the lag fix can cause and I would like someone to tell me what those are as I have never noticed a problem before. I have ran 2.1, 2.1.1, 2.1.3, 2.1.6 and 2.2 stock before I applied 2.2.5 so I am far from as experienced as a lot of you but this isnt my first rodeo either.

2.2.5 is fantastic btw, we will see if GPS continues on this way but for the first time I did zero mods to the GPS settings and mine hit 10 of 10 sats in under 10 seconds a few times. Today is the driving test, I will post results when I return.

Just flashed 2.4.1 from the leaked JI6. Everything restored good with tibu. Certainly snappier and cleaner.

GPS is still as good as ever on my phone. I've never had a problem with it, and after I flashed 2.4.1 I was in the car and my initial lock took 30 seconds. After that it was 10 second locks within 20m. So it is not 2.4.1 specifically that is messing up anyone's GPS.

[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
I actually ran into tried to master clear. Odin wouldn't recognize my phone when Windows was up (I'm guessing maybe because the phone thinks it's a Vibrant?). I went into download mode and had no issue, Odin saw it right away. Just restored JF6, then master cleared. Worked well after that.
