it is BETA

it is not OFFICIALLY OFFICIAL

for all we know, we could see something completely different for the OFFICIAL release. a lot like we did with JH7
[Captivate General] shiftylock:

Force close error: process com.android.phone keeps poping up for both odin one click froyo and cognition beta froyo. :confused:

I did use TiBU previous 2 times to restore missing apps and data (not system data). Used TiBU to restore few system data like Phone, camera, SMS settings.

Have to reflash froyo then root and enable sideloading and avoid TiBU..

Email.apk

Search the forums for Email.apk there are a couple of them out there that are 2.2 version without this bug. There is a adb process to remove the original version and replace it with a modified version or a versions tripped from another ROM. Worked fine on mine.
[Captivate General] himmelhauk:
It has been confirmed on the I9000 as well that there is a memory leak with the browsers on 2.2 JI6 and it is NOT Flash related either.
[Captivate General] himmelhauk:
Works fine for me. Are you using the stock browser or 3rd party?
[Captivate General] whenemusattack:
I don't know whether anyone else has this problem, but sometimes when I open a browser, stock and Dolphin HD, it says "Network Connection Not Available", but it connects me to the internet anyways and I can browse just fine. Tried both 3g and Wi-Fi.
[Captivate General] WalMarx:
this one seems pretty bad. sometimes my phone will decide that the notification drawer should not open all the way. sometimes it only opens a quarter of an inch, sometimes a little more, but never fully. and it doesn't close after it is slightly opened. takes a reboot to fix the issue. anyone got any ideas on what this is?

edit: i've tied it (at least tentatively) to whenever an app force closes)

Hi,

My GPS isn't working in Android 2.2 & keeps "Searching for a GPS", anyone else?
[Captivate General] TheCynick:
Coupla things I noticed (around the Exchange implementation, since I'm a Road Warrior):

* Can't find the ability to set peak/off-peak schedules.

* Scrolling amongst Exchange folders at the top of the email client is almost impossible because the folder list keeps reseting back to the start (i.e. I'll scroll halfway through and then the list jumps back to the start).

I've reverted back to using Touchdown because of these niggles.

I am using Exchange email and when I loaded Cog 2.2 beta yesterday and applied the one click lag fix, things worked great. Today I was not able to get into email without force close. Restarted phone, same result. Removed one click lag fix and now it works again. Not sure if this is just my phone or not?

Forwarded mail missing comments

Sorry for all the edits to this post. My solution has been evolving throughout the morning. When I loaded up Froyo it appeared that everything was working fine except:

a. Exchange account would not add (bad username/password error)

b. Manual setup left me with no Push (only polling)

c. Email forwards/replies dropped any comments I added

d. When I opened mail all i could see was a black screen, I would have to press Menu and select my account to see my inbox

After some digging around I did the following to fix all of the above issues. Let me know if it works for you.

1. Check the first link below for instructions on replacing your Email.apk file, but instead of using his attached Email.apk use the one from the second link below.

Instructions to replace Email.apk http://ip208-100-42-21.static.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=789370

Email.apk file to use - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=729753

2. When you get to the part with the mv command moving the apk from your SD card to the /system/app folder you will need to replace it with a CAT command like this.

cat /sdcard/Email.apk > /system/app/Email.apk

For some reason the mv command was giving me a Cross-Device Link error so I had to search for another way to move the file.

3. Once you finish replacing the file you will have to setup your exchange account again.

4. Trying to use the autodetect process will still fail with a bad username or password error

5. Instead use the Manual setup button where you can enter your domain\user and password etc.

When I used the manual option with this apk I was able to select Push instead of polling and I was able to forward/reply without dropping added comments. The other problems were also resolved. I finally have my Froyo with Exchange working the way I need it to.

MMS problems?

I cannot send nor receive any MMS msgs, doesn't work through the stock messaging app either (I use handcent by default). Is this the MMS problem that was stated earlier?
[Captivate General] Oogy:
things that dont work properly for me:

1) GPS is still dead. The occassional lock, maybe once out of 10 tries, but then it doesnt follow you anyway.

2) Phone is shutting off randomly even MORE than 2.1.

Dont care about the GPS, but anyone have any ideas about the random shut offs?

I'd go back to 2.1 w/ the odin one click but it was shutting off randomly in 2.1 too, so I don't much see the point

I had backed up all my contacts using Outlook Sync in KIES, now KIES won't work :(

Now I have to deal with Exchange sync for contacts.....so I can't set groups.....Maybe Samsung will do what DirecTV has done for years and let a public community of Beta testers find all the flaws in their software before they release it (Oh wait....isn't this.....)
[Captivate General] jneilliii:
These steps worked like a champ, thanks a bunch. To consolidate the fix here are the steps I used. You must be rooted to follow these steps.

Download this Email.apk file into same folder as your adb command (SDK Tools).

Connect phone with USB Debugging enabled.

Run following commands in DOS from adb path.

adb pull /system/app/Email.apk
adb pull /system/app/Email.odex
adb push ./Email.apk /sdcard/
adb shell
su (at this point tell superuser to allow permissions if prompted)
rm /system/app/Email.apk
rm /system/app/Email.odex
cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/Email.apk
chown root.root /system/app/Email.apk
chmod 644 /system/app/Email.apk
exit
exit
adb reboot

Reconfigure e-mail settings using manual setup method.

* Update 10/5: Added permissions/owner changes (thanks rajendra82), changed link to Email.apk to updated one with folder sync (thanks id10terrordfw).
[Captivate General] j101399j:
Cool OP is updated with issues :D
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
I checked to verify that I also had the issue of stripped comments in replies and forwarded messages, so I moved my Samsung Email.apk and odex and replaced it with the CM 6.1 Email.apk using root explorer. Seems to be working very well. After moving the Email.apk into place I also fixed permissions to rw-r--r-- and ownership to root.root to match the original.
[Captivate General] rajendra82:
Too many steps, and moving the file to /sdcard changes ownership and permissions. Just use root explorer, click on the button to mount /system as r/w, and edit the build.prop using the built in text editor. Once you save, a backup of the original file will be created for you automatically as well. One small gotcha is that you must have busybox installed to save the file in place. Otherwise you can edit, but the save will be rejected.
[Captivate General] j101399j:
Cool, thank you. I updated my post to point to yours
[Captivate General] lkakarotto:
This Froyo release has too many bugs for me... JF6 was like bread and butter, and I've been reading here that JH7 was even better.

I'm planning to do One-Click Stock Odin, updating to JH7 and staying there until samsung releases the actual FROYO OTA.

Any advice of something that I should know? I can sucessfully root and OCLF JH7, correct?

Does the One Click Root works on JH7?

Thanks!
[Captivate General] swedishcancerboi:

[Captivate General] alphadog00:
How about adding:

Geotagging in camera app is on if location services (GPS or any others) is on - no way to turn off without disabling all location services.

No timeout values for PIN or Password under Exchange support - we don't have a policy, so this is optional, but if i use any, they replace screen lock and are immediate.
[Captivate General] id10terrordfw:
instead of the cat command, i used cp /sdcard/Email.apk /system/app/

I used the attached Email.apk and it has FOLDER SYNC! Thank the maker! Working great with my E2k7 deployment.

Otherwise the default email client worked OK, just not with folder sync.

Noticed an issue with the address book:

I have a few contacts that have multiple entries in the google cloud contacts list, e.g. Joe Blow has jblow@foo.com and joe@bar.org.

When they are synced from google they link up fine, but if you unlink them, all but one of the google contacts is removed from the address book and they don't sync back. They are still present in the cloud, though.
[Captivate General] tsachi:
A few things I have noticed:

1. Exchange email: the accept/decline options for an invite are gone. It is showing up in the calendar.

2. Blue tooth: I can connect to my device, but voice dialing is still missing. I have read that other phones got that feature with froyo, but I can't activate it.

3. Don't display check boxes: a lot of them don't work. I have a popup when I open contacts that returns after restart.

4. Shutdown and startup sound still tied to general system volume. Need silent boot workaround.

I can. Problem is with your specific phone not Froyo.
[Captivate General] sschrupp:
To OP:

You might want to change your formatting just a little bit to increase readability. Use lower case letters for sub groups instead of numbers.

So:

1.Stock internet browser is very laggy, it is confirmed that there is a memory leak not related to Flash

2.GPS still sucks for some

3.Silent mode does not silent notifactions

4.Cannot download attachments in Gmail

5.Cannot delete multiple e-mails

6.Under Exchange e-mail

a.Cannot download attachments

b.Forwarding an e-mail deletes your message and only send original message

c.Cannot scroll through folders, bounces back

d.cannot forward if there is an attachment in the original e-mail

e.The good news, to fix exchange e-mail, follow this post: http://xdaforums.com/show...8&postcount=99

f.Note doing the above fix will eliminate the ability to move the e-mail from one folder to nother

7.MMS does not work, cannot receive pictures

8.If you select a contact from a group, it shows a different person, works on gmail and exchange accounts

9.Market does not show protected paid apps, however to fix market apps, follow this post: http://xdaforums.com/show...&postcount=102

10.Contacts do not always import correctly (joins some and not others)

11.Cannot hear a call over the aux port, must use bluetooth or speaker

12.Force Close when changing fonts

13.3G is slower for some?

Just kind of odd going from 6 to 1 to 6 then continuing with 7 from before.

[Captivate General] clumsywob:
I originally flashed the leaked Froyo build by design gears and then went back to 2.1 update 1 via ODIN 1 click which rooted me as well.

From there I used Clockwork Mod to flash rom to Cog 2.2 and things have been great for a day. I rebooted the phone earlier and now i'm getting com.android.phone has quit unexpectedly. If i turn off all network access, it stops but other com.android.X errors occur.

I restored data/apps via TiBU.

Any ideas?

all was well except for my gps...

but today my samsung email app just stopped functioning properly. it wouldn't send text that i typed, emails were sent black... loading kies mini as i type to load official jh7.
[Captivate General] cr33p440:
So I guess the e-mail fix listed earlier in this thread doesn't really "fix" the official new app, but replaces it with something from a different device? The folders along the top are gone, as well as some of the other cosmetic changes in the stock 2.2 app. Replies do seem to work which was my major complaint.
[Captivate General] ianwood:
I9000 Froyo Email.apk: Replies work but no signature for some reason. And it's slow, laggy. Also can't change font size like in the JI6 version.

Other observations from rooted JI6 install:

- Auto brightness is all over the place when in certain apps/conditions.

- Browser is very laggy.

- GPS still broken.

- Changing fonts works but some fonts cause FC.

The default live background is different. The little bubbles sometimes zip across the screen at high speed unlike in JH7 and earlier.
[Captivate General] ag4vr:
SIM Unlock

If you've SIM unlocked your Captivate under 2.1 and you need it, you'll probably want to put off upgrading to Froyo. The code I used to unlock my phone under 2.1 doesn't work under 2.2.

Of course, AT&T and Samsung might not consider this an issue. :/

Edit: I got the code to work. It didn't work with one SIM but worked with another.

[Captivate General] landonaaronp:
Can't connect to Kies after updating to Froyo

The issue here seems to be that in Froyo there is no longer an option to unmount the internal SD card an thus you can not connect to Kies. This cause me much consternation at first as I believed this was the only way I was going to be able to access to many of my contacts as they were saved in Outlook not to googles goofy contacts deal. However it seems I must have been using some service which I don't even really remember signing up for called AT&T address book that must have been syncing on a regular basis as numbers gained just a few days ago have now been added back to my phone by going to contacts, more, settings, AT&T Address book and re syncing. And since I have been using google calendar sync to keep my calendar synced with my phone all is well and kies can go to hell where it properly belongs. Although it is pretty pathetic that that a phone in this price range can not sync with outlook, I mean come on, I have had free phones that could do that much! And those phones did it way better it didn't turn appointments that recurred every other week into every week and so on it made an exact sync not a jumbled up garbage sync the android is so fond of doing.
[Captivate General] MarcianoS:
I'm curious (and worried). I was under the impression that the unlock code was not linked at all to the firmware, only to the phone's IMEI.

The fact that the "old" way of finding the unlock code may no longer work is understandable---Samsung may have moved/encrypted/removed (?) the relevant files. But, can somebody explain how a firmware update may actually change the unlock code? Any ideas?
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
People have reported the phone relocking itself under 2.1 - I wonder if this unlock code is not the same you would get if you called AT&T - could there be a deeper unlock that crosses all OS boundaries? Maybe.

*#7465625# will show unlock status - i know that doing a stock restore using Odin3 locked my phone again.
[Captivate General] 4Majeed:

[Captivate General] Delldorado:
Wondering if anyone can help me root my Captivate with 2.2. I've tried various methods and nothing seems to work. I used RyanZA OCLF and tried rooting from there, when i clicked update package i had an error and it said abort. i used another one one click rooter and i got the same error. after that tried doing it manually by using the directions that involve the sdk files, saving the update.zip file to the phone, searching cmd typing in the appropriate code and running the reboot and i still get the same error. i have absolutely no idea whats wrong here and im getting very frustrated. please help
[Captivate General] MarcianoS:
That flashing a new firmware can relock the phone makes sense --- there has got to be a file somewhere that keeps track of your network lock status (i.e. the info you see when you punch in the dialer code you mention).

What I cannot understand is how the unlock *code* may be modified, as it is tied to the phone's IMEI. It may be the case that every IMEI may be associated with more than one unlock code, in principle. I just hope this is not the case, as the ability to unlock (easily) is the main reason I got a Captivate rather than an iPhone4.

[Captivate General] Nepenthyink:
For font issues, have you guys installed or downloaded fonts? I added some system fonts last night and was getting a FC when trying to change them. I went down the list of installed fonts and uninstalled them until I found the offender. Unfortunately for me, it was a font whos name started with a Z. If youve installed fonts I would uninstall them all and add one by one, making sure the display settings doesnt crash. Tedious I know, but one corrupted font can break the entire function.

On a side note, LOVING 2.2. My gps was completely unusable until 2.2. Wouldnt lock on with any app, even with full view of the sky. Now I lock on immediately in whatever app Im using, even when Im in my basement, where I can barely get carrier signal. Now I dont have to quickly change the subject when my iphone buddies want to see how the captivate handles GPS!
[Captivate General] schtuka:
you guys need to create your signatures so everybody knows what have you done so far to your phone and what is currently on.

signatures are not for vanity, at least not all of it. it helps ppl to help you without asking same questions again.

example:

if you running ryan's lag-fix the only way you can change font is via his application.
