Ok, I'm really stuck....I removed the ext sd and sim, formatted my phone and installed 2.1.7 and haven't put back in my sim or sd yet. so haven't restored any settings yet. Now, when I go to "network and wireless" and to "usb settings" there is NO usb tether option.

What the heck am I doing wrong? here's what it says in settings after flashing and no restore done yet:

baseband: I897UCJH7

KerneL: 2.6.29 chshrcat

Build: Cog 2.1.7 Unhelpuful 1.7

What am I doing wrong??

Thanks.

[QUESTION]

I originally installed Cognition v2.2 - v2.2 BETA2 (10/5/2010) shortly after its release. I have not flashed any other ROMs since then. Over the course of the last few weeks, I noticed that there was a bit of a lag even with OCLF installed. This led me to begin speculating a couple of days ago. I was dead set on flashing to 9.1.3. Earlier today I cranked up odin and did a "master clear" and then rebooted. Now the thing is snappier than ever before...

Can anyone explain to me how the master clear would have resolved my sluggishness issue??? I'm still on the same ROM. I just did the master clear and rebooted. All apps/programs are in tact.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Do the backup that way just when you restore choose apps......not apps and system data

Email, Beta6 version, exchange folders

This is slightly on a tangent but since I brought it up here a workaround.

I am using beta6, been hesitating to go to beta9 due to the exchange reply issue, but had a problem with folders in beta6.

The folder problem is apparently known in the google code:

(Can't post link, but here is munged version)

code . google . com / p / android / issues / detail ? id=9017

A workaround is just to create new folders, and copy the old contents to them. That worked fine for me, and beta6 does everything I need. I may upgrade later, but at the moment it is just fine.

And if I could figure out how to avoid creating a paypal account I would buy you plenty of beer; until then my sincere thanks for great work. [And if someone, online or off, could tell me how, thanks. I do not mind using paypal with credit cards but will not create an account with them.]

That's my point...there is no USB tether option under wireless and networks menu in 2.1.7 even though it says it is there in the change log.

Why isn't it there?? I've verified a good flash (settings>about phone says it's 2.1.7), but under "network and wireless" there is NO usb tether option!!

Here's what I have under wireless/network:

- flight mode

- wi fi settings

- mobile ap settings

- Bluetooth settings

- VPN settings

- Mobile networks.

No USB tether! ;-(

[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
ha ha...thanks...wifi tethering doesn't cut it for me since i tether a decent amount and need to charge at the same time....

well looking at the changelog on the wiki, it SHOULD have usb tether but for some reason doesn't. So instead, looking at the change log, there doesn't seem to be much different between 2.1.6 and 2.1.7 other then the kernel as you mentioned so i'm going to just go ahead and try flashing 2.1.6..... will report back......

UPDATE::

Ok, I'm officially giving up....put 2.1.6 on there and STILL no usb tethering? DG.....drop some knowledge here bro.... I can't figure out what the heck is going on that is preventing usb tethering on the phone. Could there be something left over from stock still on the SD holding it back? Is there a way for me to just delete everything (all the folders) off my sd and then retry?? Obviously I'd copy over my ti backup folder so I can put it back on after.... Other then that, I have no idea what to do and am stuck!!
[Captivate Android Development] startngate:
I had no trouble using wireless tether (betas 8 and 9) while charging on 2.1. Not sure why it would be a problem for you.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
They are saying that since they tether a lot they would run the battery down and need the USB cable hooked up to charge it at the same time.

[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
No reason you could not use wireless tether and have usb plugged in for charging at the same time

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] startngate:
I understood that. Which is why I mentioned that I successfully used the wireless tether app while plugged in and charging. In fact, I always had it charging while using it for that very reason.

Thanks newter55 for confirming ... :D
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Very true, actually that is what I do at times too. I do it that way so IF I need to talk on the phone I still can and just unplug from charging without losing my internet connection.
[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Wireless tether uses wifi, that in and of itself draws and uses more battery. When I'm doing this for an hour at a time, it kills battery. On my tilt2's I USB tether all the time and keep it plugged in to charge battery too.

If I wifi tether 1 or 2 hours a day for email and such, battery is shot!!

And yes, I could just plug it in and charge seperately at the same time but if USB tether is listed as feature on the ROM, why the heck am I not finding it on there?? something is up with this and I'm not sure why I'm not able to get it.

That and of course tethering speed should be theoretically faster via usb then wifi.... not sure if this really makes a significant difference since i've done both on the tilt2 and never noticed much of a lag.....
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You won't see a difference as the speed of your phones data network is not that fast..

[Captivate Android Development] rvt1000:
Ya, never noticed before in all my days of tethering, wired and wirelessly. Either way, it's the principle of the whole thing now that's driving me nuts. Why is it not popping up in my settings tab?? Driving me nuts!!

Anyhow, I'll be out of the country until end of Nov so hopefully when I get back, we'll have an official froyo that DG's worked off so I can finally get a stable bug free froyo on here....

In the meantime, if anyone has any input about the usb tethering (or lack thereof) please post....

Edit sizes are right except 13.* is 12.* sorry went to fast. But went ahead and disabled voodoo and got the.same error.

I was wondering if anyone else is getting random shutdowns with 9.1.3?
[Captivate Android Development] bookofjoshua:
maybe he's broke because he bought the phone... or maybe he was in a horrible accident and doesn't have healthcare to cover the medical bills... could be he has 15 kids and they saved money to get him the "expensive" phone, but he doesn't have any money to donate because he had to buy them all school clothes and food... or he's an idiot... perhaps he could have done without the extraneous statement that he can't donate because he's broke, but it doesn't change the fact that you have no idea why he's broke... maybe you should have asked then ranted?

also... I was curious about the previous question about random shutdowns, I was just about to update to 9.1.3, but I think I'll wait and see what comes of that question first.

I'd totally donate, but I'm cheap and need my spare money for drugs and booze.

I noticed a problem in the wiki FAQ for upgrading from froyo, using the bmlunlock method.

Step 7 is: "busybox chmod -r 777 /system/xbin/bmlunlock"

This command fails with "777: file not found" as it is trying to change permissions on the file 777, not the file /system/xbin/bmlunlock.

The proper command would be "busybox chmod 777 /system/xbin/bmlunlock" without the -r.

Please forgive me if this has already been answered.

On another note, I am also unable to send MMS messages with beta 4.
