if you need the arrow keys to go back and edit something, samsung now includes a much better way in the text field. tap anywhere in the text field and a little blip pops up, and you can drag it to where you want to edit. much faster and precise than arrow keys

Works everything fine except 2 "issues":

- I'm getting the remote sim activated too, and can't turn it off...

- Tried to install an HTC keyboard, selected as default, but whenever I try to type something (basically anything), it doesn't show up, and later on just force closes...

None of them biggie though...

So is it a Beta or not?

I realize that, to some extent, ROM development is pretty much a never-ending process until the phone becomes obsolete, but the reason I flashed to 2.4 is that the b disappeared from the numbering scheme. I am a little paranoid about flashing anything with a BETA tag to something I actually use every day.

Since after 2.41 the numbering system went back to beta, I got really confused about the author's intent. Is there some indicator that the author believes a given ROM is stable enough for everyday use? I say that, but I've not had any problems with 2.4, other than I can't flash the circle battery mod yo it.

As I stated I restore SMS/MMS, Bookmarks, Accounts, Accounts and Sync settings, WiFi, Bluetooth, Contacts, Email, and a couple others every single time...I've done this for almost every ROM released from 2.2B5 on (I skipped a couple)

The only thing I've never gotten to transfer that irratates the hell outta me is my dictionary 'cause I like to type like I talk...ya know what I'm sayin'

I do point TiBu to external_sd\titaniumbackup and wipe/master clear/stock first (this time I didn't go to stock)

Only time it was ever an issue was 2.1 to 2.2

When I'm done all I have to do is enter my FB/MS/Twitter passwords and I'm set :)

It's a problem with the Media Scanner... I had this problem when i was using MikeyMike01 (sp?) Rom...

Never found a solution, but if it really bugs you, why don't you try to re-flash? Re-flashing (from stock) can solve about 95% of the problems people experience on here...

Edit: To force media scanner to run, try un-mounting the internal sdcard, then re-mounting it... it should make the media scanner run... lemme know if this works.

you have to be using the touchwiz launcher to use it. i've been just opening up the zip file on these roms prior to sending them over to my phone. i go ahead and stick the touchwizgtg launcher into the /system/apps folder along with this program monitor widget. they automagically install when i install the rom.

the way i had been doing it is to just copy them into that directory using android terminal and then rebooting, but typing on android terminal sucks when you are trying to type a long string of a cp command.

[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Decided to go ahead and move from 2.3b4 to 2.3b6 without going back to stock first, so, if anyone wants to do this - and want to take my word for it here are the steps:

1) Backup with TiBu - obviously - and copied to my computer

2) Disabled voodoo lagfix

3) Reboot

4) Wait some time (the voice tell you what's happening)

5) After finished booting up, used CWM to Flash 2.3b6 - Selected Wipe Data

6) Wait the usual flash and got to home screen

At this point voodoo was already enabled, no FCs or anything

7) Market: CWM and TiBu

8) Restored everything with TiBu - including HTC mod keyboard

9) Installed Super Circle Battery Mod (great btw)

10) Recalibrated my battery

11) Came here to boast :D

Impressions so far: Very good. To be honest it feel a little bit faster than 2.3b4 but I'm not sure if it is THAT relevant. Let's just say the last version has been polished up - we're probably getting ready for a 2.3bFINAL_UNTIL_OFFICIAL_FROYO :)

No issues with battery, data disabling, market, android id (had to restore using Android ID changer but so far so good).

My only issue with this - and it's probably a Froyo thing - is that the phone numbers get formatted (just when viewing not on GMail) by using US format. I'm in Brazil so it gets really weird. With Eclair it just did not format at all - which was nice anyway.

Time to replace this Swype with one that has portuguese in it :)

Thank you DG for a wonderful job!
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
First off...thank you DG for all your hard work.

Here is my experience with 2.3b6 so far

Yesterday morning I flashed from 2.4 to 2.3b6 using CW(Cleared data and all that good stuff). Reason being I was having tremendous ramdom shut down issues and surprisingly NOT A ONE forced close....plus...GPS would not lock onto one single bird even though it saw up to 9 with jupiter mods and others said here(2.2b9.1.3 was best...11 out of 11 birds was the best on a drive with just GPS checked)

My first issue with 2.3b6 was TB didnt show in app drawer..showed in download but not in apps...uninstalled and reinstalled....ROM was working great all day long.....no forced closes....no random shut downs.....battery drain was a bit high but to be expected after all my fiddling with it...4:30pm comes around and time to go home(20 mile trip)....so I test GPS(with screen on whole time)....no mods...just GPS checked...it locks onto 9 birds...woo hoo....has me spot on road for road...so far gps is working and no more random shut downs....I get home...do my usual home stuff and then later on decide to take some pics with phone...battery is down to about 15% at this time....I go to look at pics and screen goes to COGNITION boot screen and stays there and vibrates randomly.....Let it do its thing for a while then decided to pull battery....got it back up and thats when all the forced closes started...First it was TB and then ROM Manager...had to uninstall and reinstall....today Handcent has done the same....anyone else have this experience?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
When a Rom wipes data so you need to re-install anyway, and it's recommended to flash stock 1st, why are people so reluctant to take the extra 1 step and 5 minutes to flash stock? You still need to reinstall, so all you lose is the time it takes for the stock flash and boot. Then you just reboot into recovery, clockwork, (you DID remember to save the update.zip on /sdcard, correct?:)) and choose "install zip from sdcard". No rooting required. Just install the cognition zip then.

Also, a VERY overlooked feature of titanium is this: go to MENU>MORE>CREATE UPDATE.ZIP and tell it you want a USER not SYSTEM app and named "TITANIUM.ZIP", not UPDATE.ZIP

You will then have on your /sdcard update.zip (cwm), titanium.zip (tibu) and cogntion.zip. Since cogs are rooted, you should never have to perform a seperate rooting procedure.
[Captivate Android Development] sodomanaz:
Flashed to 2.3b6 a few days ago. Have to say this is quite an improvement coming from JI6.

Only issue I run into is when selecting the contacts app and choosing a contact, it will come up blank with no info. It will come back if I hit back then choose the contact again. Seem to have a similar issue with files on my external SD card as well as nothing will show up until I hit back then select the external folder again.

Other than that, this is pretty awesome. Got a bit annoyed with JI6 stock as it would hang/lag a bit when I needed to just make a stupid phone call.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
1st, it says on the downloads page if you have problems, flash stock 1st, which you do not say you did. Try that.

the random reboots is a KNOWN issue with HARDWARE (searching is your friend) and you need to try to replace that phone. If it's inside 30 days, factory reset after restore to stock and go to the store and exchange. Past 30 days, call att for warranty replacement due to random shutdowns.
[Captivate Android Development] sodomanaz:
Forgot another issue: Market downloads and installation. Apps will download, progress bar states it is 100%, but it won't install. Have to cancel download, then redownload/install the app to get it to install. Again, minor annoyance, but something that sticks out.

[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Rule of thumb -- regardless of what the ROM is called, until there is a final released version of Froyo specifically for your phone, all of these versions will be beta.

Ironically the 2.4x series were probably even more so a "beta" than the 2.3bx series because it was based off a Vibrant ROM, which can potentially introduce even more instability because it wasn't written specifically for our hardware.

So until you see something from the ROM dev (DG in this case) that says Froyo FINAL or until he starts developing Gingerbread COG ROMS :D, it's best to assume these will all be betas.

Now with that said, if you are entering the world of flashing it's a never ending process, even with a final code build, as many folks here (including myself) can attest to on ANY platform -- Windows Mobile, Android, etc. (well, maybe not Lord Job's phone, but let's not go there heheheh). But even if a ROM is not "FINAL" you will find that the best ones are stable enough for every day use (even in a business environment) with a minor annoyance or two. It's the price for living on the edge.

Hope that helps.

I wasn't asking for a reslolution.. I was just reporting and asking if anyone else has had the same issue. I do read and have an idea what to do, if it persists.

I do know how to use the search. I've had the phone for a while and random shut-downs didn't start until I went to 2.4(at least 6 times a day) and now on 2.3b6 it hasn't happen in 24hrs. I could be wrong but that don't sound like hardware? Maybe something in my flashing?

Battery life does not seem to be as good as 2.3.4b. I left the phone on (wifi mode on sync on) turned the screen off and went to bed with 100% 7.5 hours later it was 32% claiming Display used 45% and wiFi 34% of battery......

How is the display using nearly 1/2 the battery when it is off for 7 hours? LOL

live wallpapers?

in 2.3b4 had an issue where i couldn't choose lwp's so i copied livewallpapers.zip and livewallpaperpicker.zip from 2.3b3 and copied to sys/app folder and all was good..

2.3b6 only had 3 lwp to choose from so did the same steps as above ...this time it did not work. i do not see the lwps i installed.

What you are seeing is 16 minutes 6 miles..Read the Google track information

I don't have those issues of losing track every 5 minutes. I have gone 110 miles and used the GPS to get there and never missed a turn. My only complaint is the time it takes to lock. Once it locks it does not jump around on me at all.

But the device HAS to have a clear shot to the sky visible I use it on the windshield or handle bars on my Bike. It cannot be in ones packet or on the center console unless you have a convertible. I made the same run with the phone in my pocket and got broken lines....
[Captivate Android Development] aleadam:
Thanks guys. Yes, remounting works. I downloaded both sdrescan and media scan root from the market. I'll give them a try.

Anyways, I deleted the data from applications/all/media storage and now screenshots appear immediately. They still don't disappear when I delete them, though, until the next remounting cycle.

Everything else is working so nice that I don't feel like reflashing just because of that. It's fast, battery is good, gps for me is awesome.

I'll post it if I find something else.

I installed b6. I set it up the way I like it. I disabled the lagfix and made a backup with clockwork. Then I re-enabled the lagfix. I messed with some system files and the phone stopped booting. My fault. I restored with odin. Then I tried restoring my backup. The phone wouldn't boot. I used odin and clockwork restored and got the same problem. I thought maybe the problem was that because of 3ei had to flash b6 before restoring the clockwork backup. I flashed b6. Let the phone start up and heard voodoo enable. I then made the file, and rebooted. I heard the voices few times and then the phone shut off. The phone wouldn't boot. I odined and tried it all again. This time it just hung while disabling the lagfix. I gave it over an hour. I redid everything three times. It hung every time for more than an hour each time. Is anyone else having trouble disabling this version of voodoo?

No. Tibu zip just installs tibu so that you can access your tibu backups and restore them. It just saves the step of setting up phone for market access and downloading tibu in order to access your backup files. As long as yopu have cwm, you can use the tibu zip to restore tibu. =)

No access to a Windows machine except for HTPC which is almost untouched as far apps go. And, it did work - why should I go through the hassle of (a) installing windows on my mac or, god forbid, (b) install **** on my HTPC which I essentially have as an appliance?

If I have a problem with the method I do like to have the option of flash stock but if not necessary I could not care any less for it.

Interesting, I didn't know this existed. Then again I will setup my google account with everything so the most I lose by not making this backup is at the most 2 minutes of setting it all up and downloading TiBu from the market.

I've put my experience because I believe other ppl would like not having to flash one firmware just to then flash another firmware. It's good to have more knowledge in these threads - although ppl rarely search it.
