zip

pm me if you still need it. do you have s-off? if you do then just flash a stock unrooted then reroot. i think i have the stuff let me know?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jonathan062:
This will unroot you. then you can start over. sorry but its the only thing I know to tell you to try. pull the sd card plug it into your computer and erase any PB31 you have there, then put this zip on it. reinsert and boot into hboot im sure that won't be a problem. then run the update when asked, hope it helps. http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7628419/Unroot/Unroot/PB31IMG.zip

Can you change the name of the backups on the sdcard/ clockwork/ backups, i know they are listed by date, but is it possible to change it to say the rom that was ran on that particular backup, so that way i can backup to that rom instead of guessing by date, lol.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tomh1979:
so i decided to find out myself, since no one else could answer this, but yes you can rename your backups so when you go to recovery and do a nand restore they are renamed to what rom your running instead of date and time.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemilm:
Hi people,

I have a stock Captivate, which I updated to JH7 yesterday. My phone is connected to my company's Exchange server, which requires mobile devices that connect to it to have an alphanumeric password lock. So, every 30 minutes to an hour, I need to enter a full password to unlock my phone, instead of the typical pattern unlock.

I first noticed something fishy when immediately after the JH7 update, the password entry field would auto-capitalize the first letter in the password, something it had never done before. I could still enter my password successfully, however, so I didn't think much of it (though it was a little annoying to have to manually de-capitalize the first letter in my password). When I tried to unlock my phone this morning, it behaved even more strangely, bringing up the number entry keypad instead of the standard keyboard (you know, the one you normally get when you do things like enter people's phone numbers in the address book). More importantly, I could no longer enter letters into the password field at all! It lets me change to the alphabet keyboard, but the password field does not accept anything other than numbers (I tap the letter and nothing gets entered in the field). This is an issue because my password consists entirely of letters.

So, has anyone else updated whose phone requires an alphanumeric password lock in addition to the pattern lock? If so, have you experienced this problem? Anyone have any suggestions? I have been on the phone with Samsung support, and talked with someone in level 3 tech support, but they had never heard of the problem. I am currently waiting for them to call me back.

I am at the moment completely locked out of my phone, and I only have 5 more password attempts before my phone bricks...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thgoepel:
I had the same issue and the only solution I found was to do a hard reset. The problem is that the Exchange policy was not fully enforced before the update to the new firmware, but now is. The policy on your exchange server is set to numeric password and you had chosen an alphanumeric password. Now with the new firmware the numeric part is enforced (was not in the previous firmware version) and now you cannot enter alphanumeric characters anymore.

So my suggestions to folks running the OTA update, remove your Exchange account before the update (to remove the alphanumeric password lock) and then add it again after the update with a numeric password.

Seems to be the only choice!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemilm:
Thanks, thgoepel. I was hoping to avoid a hard reset because I have a bunch of pictures on there from a recent trip that I haven't gotten off the phone yet. I guess I learned my lesson on that one.

I'll post here if Sammy tech support comes back with anything useful, but I'm not holding my breath.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] thgoepel:
Hi bemilm, I think I have good news for you. I had the same concern on the pictures, but if you have saved them in your internal or external memory card (I think the standard is on the internal memory card) they will stay even if you do a hard reset. At least for me they stayed. I was afraid the same thing will happen to me and at the end I decided I have to give up all my pictures, but to my surprise after the hard reset they all still were there. Not sure if this is a bug in the hard reset procedure, or if it only clears out the flash memory and not the internal memory card. If you so not get anything useful from sammy, there is at least hope you won't loose all your pictures, just a ton of work for restoring all your apps and settings ...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bemilm:
Thanks, that's good to know!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ravipkumar:
same issue

Same exact thing happened to me too. :(

Any suggestions, without hard reset?

Ravi.

UPDATE : I requested our Exchange Admin to disable the policy temporarily for my account and it didn't ask for the password. I am in now.

Its all here: http://smartphonebenchmarks.com/

There is much to expect from this incredible device, as we all know the "Hummingbird S5PC110" CPU is exclusive to Samsung so the crown will be hard to take away from them at least for now.

Its already rooted and we all know the capabilities it has, here's hoping for the best to all who own and are OTA updating their beasts as well.
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
...until november/december when they release the new hummingbird.

Even so, the fastest processor in the world doesnt mean anything if other things do not work properly. ie GPS not working properly, bugs in the UI, ect.
[Captivate General] legend221:
True but the OTA update should fix some issues, especially the GPS one.

Time will tell and Samsung should really be looking into these problems, many first time adopters are using their Galaxy S line of phones and will remember the support they received from them.

Luckily the Dev. section always has innovative minds that have fixes as well in case they don't create them however but thats not an excuse for Samsung to slack off.
[Captivate General] legend221:
"Qualcomm announced Wednesday that while still on track to ship the 1.5GHz dual-core Snapdragon processor this year to manufacturers, the speedy chip will not be in devices on the market until the last part of 2011. They however did say that the 1.2GHz chipset would be shipping in consumer devices in less than 6 months."
[Captivate General] iceman4357:

Some interesting info about its GPU. Also gives you a bit of info on why Cortex A9 is so cool. :)
[Captivate General] wrayrb:
The problem with this is that it will probably have the same initial problems that the present Captivate has. I am wondering when the Android 2.2 update will be out from AT&T. And will it have different, but just as irritating problems that 2.1 has after being worked on by AT&T?

This is really a pain, if I think about it. Why does AT&T have to mess it up every time?

[Captivate General] derek4484:
Nope, the OTA update was NOT a GPS fix. Look at the official release notes of the OTA update.... not a single word about a GPS fix.
[Captivate General] iceman4357:
I agree. I dont understand why they mess with every phone. I dont really see that many people using all the useless crap they put on there.

@ Legend- There is no GPS fix yet. Honestly I dont understand how the GPS was not fixed before release. The developer phones would have the same issues, and I would want to fix something major on a brand new product I was trying to sell. To me it just makes the company look stupid.
[Captivate General] Zman28SS:
Even though a GPS fix wasn't listed in the release notes, there was one.

Had mine a week, completely stock and couldn't get a gps lock at all, did the update on Saturday and now I get one in seconds.

Is turn by turn voice navigation working now in Google Maps?
[Captivate General] Lee1733:
It's working in Froyo for me - wasn't working with either of the official releases prior to the leaked 2.2 though - that's just my personal experience, I'm hearing a lot of different stories about which update fixed it or did not fix it.
[Captivate General] max_warheads:
legend.. Your relying on Quadrant scores, pushed up by the EXT2/4 fix? REALLY?
[Captivate General] Ryukeima:
We already have a 1.2 ghz processor :P Overclocked and undervolted sure, but my wife hasn't had any problems yet.
[Captivate General] legend221:
Thats not my website, Ive bumped into it one day and I thought it was a great idea.
[Captivate General] legend221:
Wow, I'm actually contemplating getting this phone once again if this is indeed fixed.

Thanks for confirming.

Hello everyone,

I went from an HTC Touch Pro to a Samsung Captivate. I have a bunch of contacts that are backed up via pim backup utility, I also saved my pim.vol file. Is there an app or utility out there that will import pim contacts to the Samsung Captivate contacts list?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sstrunks:
bump, anyone at all? I know im not the only person going from windows mobile to android. there has to be a way to import pim contacts into the captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RojasTKD:
I just got my Captivate yesterday Coming from the TouchPro 2). From what I can tell, I think the answer is NO.

I tried this method to get my contacts from my WinMo phone the the Captivate (I don't have Outlook):

http://www.makeuseof.com/tag/move-contacts-windows-mobile-android/

I did get my contacts on my captivate (kind of), but It just listed their first name and didn't show any info (phone numbers, e-mail addresses...) when I taped on the contacts.

Thus far I'm looking at having to move my contacts over manually one by one. :(

Hopefully someone knows a better way... I have yet to dig one up.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kubernetes:
Well, I migrated from a Blackberry and what I did was export my contacts to a .csv file, import the .csv into Gmail, and then sync Gmail contacts on my phone. Still had a bit of work to do since the .csv translation wasn't exactly perfect, but it was a fairly painless way to transfer 300+ contacts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] saint168:
I think the best thing to do is sync all your contacts/calendar from WM or BB to GMail first, then when you login to Gmail with your Android, everything is already there.

I want to flash the amonra revocery as i believe it lets you format an ext3 partition where as clockwork only allows ext2. But i cant figure out how to flash it. people have said use unrevoked again to re-root your phone and just choose a custom recovery, but it wont successfully complete the root again a second time even if i DONT use my custom recovery image....any ideas? how can i do this?

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] halfhp:
One lesson this OTA fiasco has taught me, is that as careful as we are, there is no way to put our phone back to the way they were when we bought them once we start flashing:

The only people that I've seen reporting success on the OTA update are the ones who never flashed. Thanks to people like designgears, workarounds have been provided, but the fact remains: once you flash, there's no going back (for now). Which brings me to my concern: if the OTA is failing because of this currently unidentified difference, then AT&T, Samsung, etc. can certainly tell whether or not you've screwed with your phone if you send it in for repair, even if you flash back to stock. And they could claim this voids the warranty. It seems like it would be worthwhile for us to understand why the patch is failing and remove this problem in future 3rdparty ROMS, just in case the return/repair dept. starts looking for this inconsistency.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MikeyMike01:
It's not really something to be concerned over.

I really doubt Samsung is going to waste time checking the phones that get sent in to them. I sent Microsoft a melted Xbox 360, and they replaced it for free under the warranty.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] malfuncion:
I agree. And to just double confirm this- I have actually spoke to a couple techs at Samsung who do the RMA stuff, and it does not void our warranty to flash THEIR OFFICIAL firmwares. All they do anyway when they get the device is immediately flash back to stock firmware themselves. They dont have time to "investigate" each RMA. The techs dont get paid enough and the turn around time woudl be a LOT long if this was the case.

It's a breach when we start flashing cooked stuff on there, but as long as the problem remains with factory based ROM there isn't a problem. It's only void if say you jack it up and cant get back to a "factory load" to verify the problem is actually hardware based.

Same thing with HTC devices too so just FYI. Oh and AT&T & Tmobile reps will also confirm this too. Your best bet though when calling in warranty is to NOT SAY you were dorking with your phone and messing with Cooked ROMS.

So the buzz is that the Froyo update for the samsung Galaxy S Series has been pushed back to October instead of the hoped for September dates. Typical Samsung fashion, but they have stated they are working to get the phone issues resolved before updating the Android versions. I know Froyo would be a welcomed upgrade but with Google confirming that Android 3.0 Gingerbread is set for a October release do you think we will see Froyo or you think we will see a push to Gingerbread. Samsung Reps are not wanting to give any info other than: "Samsung and Sprint are committed to getting an update out for the Epic" but not a wisper of what might be on the horizon. What do you think?
[Epic 4G General] stud_muffler:
One step at the time, lets not find ourself running in front of the train...

[Epic 4G General] Doppler808:
You know what I find really odd...

SamsungUK states September...

SamsungSPAIN states October...

two different COUNTRIES. Seems like it's rolling out now, and Spains turn is in October. No word from SamsungUSA so I wouldn't expect it in September or October.
[Epic 4G General] vansmack:
I agree with Doppler. And don't forget, those updates are for the non-keyboard version of the Galaxy S (regardless of language). The Epic is TW 2.5 because they were struggling to get 3.0 to work with the landscape mode/physical keyboard combination.

I suspect that the Captivate, Vibrant and Fascinate will all get Froyo before the Epic. I have nothing to back this up but my gut instinct, but anybody who did custom ROMs for the Touch Pro series vs the Diamond series can attest to how much more goes into a physical keyboard ROM vs a non-keyboard ROM.
[Epic 4G General] djcslice:
Also remember that the US is one of the few countries that are using CDMA. GSM is more widely adopted and much easier to code for.
[Epic 4G General] jessep28:
Hopefully the delay is because they are going to correct a whole host of issues in addition to the Android update.
[Epic 4G General] LordLugard:
If they can't even get 2.1 right, why go to 3.0? I'd rather they fix 2.1 or work on a solid 2.2 before bothering with 3.0. What should be on Samsung's horizon should be what they've currently released that isn't working propery rather than playing catch with Google and 3.0.

From all the hoopla about how 2.2 unleashes some mojo that speeds up stuff, I'll be good with that for the time being.

3g upload cap (and 3g speeds in general are slow), battery optimizations, 3g battery drain should be their priority...not 3.0.
[Touch HD General] el-grosso:
for some reason, all of my photos that i take with the camera are now saving on to the phone memory, specifically my documents > my pictures.. im fine with that (though i would prefer if they saved on to the memory card)..

however im unable to access the device memory when connecting it up to the computer, though i can see everything on the memory card. am i doing something wrong? i tried searching, but i couldn't find any answers. thanks :)
[Touch HD General] Chef_Tony:
if you connect via active sync, your blackstone should show up in "Computer" or "My Computer" (depending on your windows version) and you should have 2 drives inside, one for the phone storage, and one for the storage card, and while you cannot access the phone's windows folder from there, my documents should be possible.

if you connect as a disk drive, there is only the storage card, because the blackstone acts as a card reader, then your phone unmounts the card.

if you are using vista or 7, you can import all photos, no matter where they are stored, using the image importer in wmdc.

and if you want your photos back on the storage card, because apparently everything runs better that way, just move them using file explorer or total commander on your phone and set the option to store on the storage card in the camera app.
[Touch HD General] Sp1tfire:
If you want your pictures saved on your card, just go to camera settings and you have the option of saving pictures on card, instead of phone's memory. As for the part of not being able to explore your device, are you sure you synchronized it with the pc and you are not using your phone as a storage device ? It should prompt you to choose a connection type: activesync connection or storage card. Choose activesync and when you connect your device to your pc, you should see the following pic and you can explore your device but clicking on that folder.
