Noone has att addressbook sync issue?

I had that issue from cog 2.2 beta1 so i backed up all my contacts with google account so i dun need it anymore but i dun think it is working yet.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I am not talking about any particular person. I am referring to statements you have made in the past that the lag fix is not needed with Froyo. The file access test of Quadrant is much faster with lag fix than without, Although the overall score may not be accurate, it is clear that accessing files is by far slower without a lag fix. And you don't need a benchmark app to tell you that. I am looking forward to a ROM with lag fix included that is stable. I tried Ryan one click from market and it caused too many issues for me to use. Thanks for your hard work.

EDIT: Needed is probably not accurate. Desired is if you want peak performance.
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
DG,

Tried the manual thing and can do gmail and facebook etc. but when I tap Corporate it just vibrates a little and kicks me back to the main account page. Like I said I can live with it ( not having work emails at home is not killing me!) but hopefully in the next few I get it back.

Enjoy the night!
[Captivate Android Development] ranova:
although not as good as voodoo, there is a clear difference from stock froyo to OCLF. Use any high I/o app and you can tell the difference. We are not talking about app loading or swiping between homescreens, all of which are not affected by lagfixes as much as read/write.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
I had the same problem in the past with beta 2, I am now on 8.1 and problem has not appeared, master clear and factory reset seems to work for me..
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Is there a link to the removed .apk's I miss all share.
[Captivate Android Development] skatcat31:
Actually if you look at the mflops its the exact same with both. Placebo.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
glad to see that the lagfix argument has been resurrected though I am curious why so much time and effort is going into improving the file system here on XDA if it is just placebo ;)
[Captivate Android Development] netnerd:
funny, so mflops is reliable? and quadrant is not?

i installed oclf, cus quadrant score is higher! there must be a reason why the score is higher, you know...
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
No Placebo. If you actually use the phone instead of just flashing it all the time, you can clearly see the difference with file access.

When a lag fix is implemented, everyone will be cheering... OMG this is the fastest thing yet right? It is a fact that lag fix improves file access performance on this device, Eclair and Froyo.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
+1 sorry but real world usage theres a huge difference with lag fix installed. I don't need a benchmark to see the difference.

My phone won't do the 3 button combo to download mode, and I can't do it via ADB:

reboot download

reboot: Operation not permitted

I'm pretty furstrated. I just flashed my captivate back to 2.1 and can't go into download mode at all, even though I rooted it.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I do indeed flash a lot....can't help it....and I also agree that it is not placebo. Using z4mod atm though I can't wait til we can use the mods being made by sztupy over in the i9000 forum fully....played with it but could only live without home button for so long..lol

I don't think this has been talked about since the days of the Eclair ROMs, but has OC/UV been on the idea table? I'm not sure if it could be worked in, but what's the thought on that?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Use SGS Tools; available on the market; to set up shortcuts to reboot into downlaod mode. Long press on the home screen, select "shortcuts", scroll down to "SGS Tools - Create Shortcut" and click, that brings you to a menu with options to create shutdown, reboot, reboot recovery and reboot download. Long press the first dialog box to get those options. From there you can name the icons and even select the icon graphics. Hope this helps you.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
I know everyone posts about battery life but one week on b7 and I'm impressed. Now this was just over a hr on calls, random texting throughout the day and 30 to 40 mins of youtube. Oh yeah, played Asphalt 5 (paid version) for 20 to 30 mins. So to me, especially considering my stock setup needing a charge every 8 to 16 hrs, this is really good.

I just now plugged the phone in at 10% charge and it's 5:30 pm. I never did the battery stats delete or any of that other "magic" stuff after I flashed to b7. Also, my wifi finally recognizes my home network and connects all by itself after coming out of sleep mode. For me, b7 was a great step ahead. Thanks DG and crew for your work.

Note, I waited a week before posting on b7's performance.

You need to use odin and repartition.

Edit: I think you could get away with just using odin to flash without repartitioning. try it
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
This worked perfectly, thanks! Now my problem is that I'm trying to ODIN 8.1 and it's been sitting at "<ID:0/005> boot.bin" for at least five minutes.

EDIT: Still at boot.bin for almost a half hour now.

hmmm i just flashed the beta 8.1 file again and it worked!
[Captivate Android Development] SnakeHaveYou:
And you're right.. Right now, i'm rolling back to B7 built kernel. I'll miss HSUPA from the reoriented 2.0.1, and the posibilities to flash any i9000 ROM.. But i need more battery autonomy..
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
probably been covered to death but too lazy to read through all the pages and pages of posts. Just looking for a quick answer.

8.1 odin seems to not have the regular files (e.g. phone, modem), I'm coming from BETA6 can I just use the files included in the 8.1 download and not have any issues?

TIA

I unplugged my phone, and now my screen won't chamge from this.

Plugging it in to USB doesn't help either. Did I just brick my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] autocorrelation:
You should be able to boot it into downloading mode from that screen.

Hold volume up+down and power, then when the screen goes black let go of power but continue holding onto volume up+down. You should be back into download mode from there.
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
I was able to shut my phone down, but it didn't boot into download mode (it didn't before with the combo, either). It turned on to the same picture, and now won't turn off.

Is your sim and external sd still in the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] d2010d:
I have issues with Exchange sync with a lot of the ROM's, its a security issue, not all Exchange systems require the same security. I can normally fix the issue by replacing the email.apk with the stock email.apk but with Beta 8.1 this isn't working.

If you look at your webmail under the phone settings you will see the phone attempt to sync but will display a security error.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Another thought

Have Odin opened

Hold both volumes

Plug USB in

See if Odin recognizes the phone after a moment or 2

If it does you can flash
[Captivate Android Development] evanstapler:
Odin doesn't register it at all. And I don't gave an SD card or SIM card in it.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Battery Drain, Modem.bin, simcard and Odin

To avoid battery drain issues when flashing roms that have a new modem.bin, remove your simcard before flashing. If you have it in while flashing it will cause issues.

I thought this was common knowledge that you should remove your simcard before hand, but I guess not.

[Captivate Android Development] cmhock:
ditto for me with the exchange calendar synch. Went from beta 6 to beta 8.1. Noticed that the e-mail client changed from AOSP to something else for beta 7 but I skipped 7 altogether. In beta 6 calendar synch was working, but same symptoms on 8.1 as you. e-mail via corp exchange seemed to work, but not calendar appointments. I do use CalendarSnooze, and that was restored from TiBU, but never saw issues in earlier builds -- although I tend to go at least a week between updates.

Think I'm reverting to beta 6 for now. -- or maybe getting brave and using beta 6 email with 8.1 -- maybe my own 8.1.1?

BTW tried the ODIN back to stock, master clear, then loaded 8.1 so I don't think any settings should have been retained or in conflict to impact the calendar. There was a minor issue during ODIN back to stock -- my PC bluescreened during the process, but thankfully was able to resurrect my brick using the recommendations for force dl mode, by the proper combo of usb, vol, power, battery, and sacrificial chickens. :)

BTW Thanks DG - beer money coming your way next payday. Even with the occasional glitches the improvements in Cognition vs official ATT options are much appreciated. Just wish I had the time to delve into some of this myself.

Make sure you have internet access before you flash to a new rom. 8.1 is great but took over thirty minutes to log into the market and another twenty to download tibu.

Had the same issue yesterday. Keep trying the key combos. It may take many tries but you're probably not screwed. It should go into download mode at some point.

[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
Not unless their Batch Number says 1008. For their sake, i hope they have 1007.

Me <----from personal experience. If their batch is 1007, then they can go into download/ recovery ANYTIME (as long as they follow the steps correctly). That Batch is basically almost Un-brickable <------new word, note to self.

If they have Batch 1008, then i give them my deepest sympathy.
[Captivate Android Development] lungbutter:
A lot to keep up with. Didn't even know there were batch numbers. How can I determine mine for example?
[Captivate Android Development] Eibon:
hmm, what will change exactly with the updated eclair?
[Captivate Android Development] spartan062984:
"Well there's your Problem!" lol

Almost forgot about that one..... smacks head. I guess i'm an Old School Hacker....haha. :D

a) remove battery

b) look below your Serial Number

c) if your Batch # = 1007 = You are safe

d) Batch # = 1008 = good luck

That makes two of us. Unfortunately, i found out the hard way. It wasn't until I soft bricked mine that i knew Batch Number even existed. There is also a different thread or two with this subject.

The Good news is, DG has a thread where you can pull/ push or simply flash a file that will allow you to use 3-button combo REGARDLESS of batch numbers. That and also rumors of the OTA update is supposedly going to fix that issue as well. We shall see.
[Captivate Android Development] d2010d:
I was having same issue with Exchange, installed the Galaxy Tab email.apk and all is working great, I'm not having any of the issues with it as described.
[Captivate Android Development] NOFSBIGE:
What if your batch number is 1006?
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
are you sure about that?

I had a batch 1008 and it did not have the 3 button combo on stock at all. I had to do the OTA update to get it, and everytime I ODIN back to stock, i lost the combo. It eventually bricked on me.

I got a replacement, which is also 1008 batch and right out of the box, WITHOUT the update, it had 3 button combo. I've restored to stock with ODIN a few times and it always has kept the 3 button combo, no matter what.

So not sure where you got the 1008 vs 1007 batch thing.

You should be ok. Have you tried going into either Download/ Recovery mode without the use of ADB, and using only 3-button combo?

Question: can YOU get into either modes with the 3-buttons (stock), WITHOUT updating or using DGs Patch?

You sir/ maam, may have installed a version of Antim's voodoo + OCLF rom. I know this because i have done it myself to MY cappy. Personally, that version is ok. Let me guess, your firmware is different as well as your Kernel....correct me if i am wrong....please.

[Captivate Android Development] saoirse_go_deo:
So, I have been trying some different versions of Cognition here. First, I flashed beta 7 from 2.1 using Clockwork; worked great. Then I tried 8.1 with Clockwork, but found it to be slow. Stupidly, I tried applying the Voodoo lagfix (I didn't read far enough to see that it is not for any 2.2 version). Interestingly enough the conversion worked successfully...or so the robot voice told me...but then my phone would only continually reboot into recovery mode after that. I quickly flashed back to stock JF6 with ODIN 1-Click, and created the disable-lagfix folder in my remaining Voodoo folder. Re-rooted, Clockwork flashed to beta 7 again. Everything is fine, I think, though I could be imagining some slightly worse battery performance.

At any rate, what I would like to do is master clear, flash to stock, then flash to beta 7. I thought perhaps something is odd with my filesystem and could be contributing to the battery life. However, I noticed that my phone does not boot into recovery/download with the 3-button combo anymore. I read around somewhere that the OTA update fixes it...but is this the AT&T OTA to JH7? I heard that has bricked many phones anyway.

I have used quick boot to go into recovery mode from my current beta 7 setup, but I'm worried that I might not be able to successfully master clear, ODIN to JF6, and then flash to beta 7 if my phone no longer accepts the 3-button combo. And yes, I have tried virtually every combination of +/-/power/after second screen/etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks so much.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Yes, and it appeared you were trying to say that something in dispute was proven.

Yeah I read the whole thread and I've seen the posts. If you have a 1008 then chances are good there's no 3 button combo out of the box.

That is actually noted in about a couple hundred different places in the Captivate threads alone. Maybe refreshing the info every few days will make it more noticeable. I don't know, just thinking outside the box. :D

Let me see if I can illustrate what went down, albeit in an ever so slighty exaggerated fashion.

OMG YOU SO PROVED HOW RIGHT I AMD AND HOW WRONG YOU ARE LOL THAT'S HILARIOUS!!!1

But if perchance you did maybe find a working 1008 then it was probably one in 74,000 bazillions and was probably mislabled, and even though you didn't contradict yourself I'm not changing what I typed above.

So yeah, I kind of ignored that second part where you contradicted yourself, and that's all I have to say about that.
