[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gnarlyc:
I was trying to help my friend with his Vibrant and now it's stuck at the splash screen in a loop. I can't seem to get it to download mode or recovery or anything. I've pulled the battery, held down both vol keys while pushing power. Any time I connect the usb, it just starts up the boot loop without giving me a chance to do anything else. I can never get to the green charging battery. Any ideas?

I guess I could provide more info... We had rooted the phone multiple times, but Superuser would FC every time. So, we decided to flash eugene's froyo build (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=740558). That's when I got the boot loop. Odin said it was finished, and it did not go into recovery. It just started boot looping. Maybe I didn't wait long enough before hitting the power? I'm not sure. Anyway. I'm stuck.

EDIT: Unstuck now. I guess I just need to not panic and read more. I held both VOL keys in while connecting to USB and it went into downloading mode. SO, I flash a stock 2.1 ROM and it's back to the way it was. Calling works fine. No data though. Apparently, that was one of the issues before. I'll try rooting again, but it seems like there's another issue. Also... No settings survive reboots. Like turning on USB debugging... Strange.

Is there anyway of dumping the ROM from a HTC Rhodium? And when I say dumping, I mean, extracting everything off of the phone onto a PC when it's locked?

I know this is probably a noobish question, but I would appreciate some help with this.

Thanks

Hi all,

I would like to know if it's possible to have hebrew input and reading on my i9000.

I happen to have hebrew written emails, and can't see them neither answering them ..

thanks a lot !
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mike.sw:
I guess you are still on eclair, so you have three choices:

1) root and add hebrew fonts and keyboard but no RTL support.

2) flash your phone to jg8 firmware which comes with built in hebrew fonts and RTL support.

3) flash your phone to froyo firmware(or wait for one).
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnust:
Hi,

Thanks a lot for your answer !

1) How, where ? :) What's RTL ? (sorry to be so noob)

I flashed my phone to I9000XXJPK which is an european Froyo release and no hebrew keyboard .. but I can read now :)

Thanks !

Hi all,

I can't find an answer to this anywhere.

Before I had a LG EVE with openetna rom and when I synced my contacts with gmail, it synced only the "My contacts" part.

Now with my i9000 it syncs "All contacts" which is "My contacts" + All the contacts I ever answered to, which polluates my phonebook ...

Any way to avoid that ??

Thanks a lot !

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Adevem:
as far as i know, eclair (2.1) syncs everything from your account. but froyo (2.2) allows you to show/sync selective groups from your Gcontacts.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cygnust:
Great !

Thanks for your answer, I'll have to wait a little, or flash it with a JPK firmware to test..

But I'm quite sure that the openetna I had was based on 2.1 ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bestbeancounter:
Is this specifically a Galaxy S issue? because I'm trying to do the same thing where I only want to sync contacts in my contact list, not everyone I've corresponded with in the past over gmail.

The reason I ask is because my buddy's got a HTC Desire and he says he doesn't have that problem and it syncs fine.

[Galaxy S I9000 General] immyh:
As we are aware that there has been a official Froyo release for the captivate. Ive done some reading and cannot find conclusivly if things have been fixed as this may well be a good view of what the international version will look like.

The questions i have is

1. Is the GPS fix a completed fix and all is now well with teh gps.

2. Is JIT enabled and does it improve the speed.

3. Is the lag issue no gone or will we need to do a lag fix.

4. What other improvements are there? and whats not fixed?

Cheers guys if anything this will allow us to discuss the leak from our i9000 point of view.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] Valeo:
You know there's a thread for this in the Captivate forums, right? :confused:

To save you some time, here's what I've gathered from the mammoth thread:

Some claim that the GPS is working better. Some also claim that it hasn't made much difference.

JIT is enabled but the software hasn't been optimised for the SGS' processor yet.

According to some, there is less lag. But as with the GPS fix some are still claiming that there is still lag.

See this article and this xda-developers thread.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] immyh:
thanks for the update but i had seen those and like you mention its a mixed bag so i just wanted to get an overall feel of what the version is like as alot of people complain endlessly and they seem to be the ones posting well as the ones that are happy post less as they have nothing to complain about.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] darkoroje:
It is unlikely that lag has been fixed as Samsung is still using the RFS file system. The problem with the lag is that it gets worse over time so even those claiming they have no lag immediately after installing new ROM will probably get it after a few days.
[Galaxy S I9000 General] foxbat121:
GPS is definitely NOT fixed.

Leaked FROYO on Captivate - excellent so far

ATT Captivate

One of the pre-Nov 6, 2010 Korean machines - and, yes, it has had the random turn-off issue both pre and after upgrade to FROYO.

Use LauncherPro for the Home Screen.

Used SuperOneClickv1.7-ShortFuse to root.

Working around the random turn-off with NoBars app - we'll see if it works.

RESULTS:

Phone is WAY faster than 2.1

GPS works fine

Good new additions and look in Settings

Apps I use simply do NOT FORCECLOSE! ...like some did incessantly with 2.1

Of course, voided warranty, but phone is now fast, stable, and seems to be much more reliable.

ATT Captivate FROYO update re random shut-down....

Well, I know there are threads about this - ones I've seen are closed.

So, a quick update just in case anyone finds this useful:

The random shut down continued, despite NoBars app.

Installed APN OnOff. Turned it ON, disabling 3G/EDGE/GPRS, and after 3 hrs, no turning off. Turned it APN back off, and noticed the screen would go blank, and I could bring it back by pressing power button without then having to enter my security code, every time something accessed 3G/EDGE/GPRS. Put phone into standby - shut itself down within 10-15 mins.

Solution I am trying: following above I went into sync settings and disabled Background Data, and Auto-sync. So far so good - no shut down.... if it does, it does look like the APN OnOff app will prevent this, you'd just have to turn it off when needing to use the 3G/EDGE/GPRS.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinuxNewb:
OCLF will not root the phone ;) That will be done by DG's Cog 2.2beta :) I did the kernel swapping version with a rooted update.zip file... not nearly as easy as the One Click Odin installer.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNut*:
LOL... yeah, no I didn't intend it to sound like I would root using OCLF... :D my bad...

Meant that I'd do the kernel swapping and then applying the lagfix via OCLF 2.1+ :)

The kernel swap sounds easier than Rageagainsthecage deal, not comfy with all that.

Just got in to Linux, using command line to navigate throught, shell scripting... etc...

Barely got my feet wet with Linux, thinking of getting a "Linux for Dummies" lol ;)

Ok back to work now b4 I gets in trouble... :P
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] j1mb34m:
I just wanted to add the the rageagainstthecage process is quite simple. That's the method I followed, preferring it over kernel swapping. I chose that option because I'm not very familiar with Odin yet (that's what you need to use to swap kernals right?), while I AM familiar with ADB commands, having had to use them for my G1.

So, yea, I guess it is a matter of preference...and my preference is ADB :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNut*:
Hmm... Maybe I ought to try either one then. I believe that I have all the info needed for ADB. I guees my concern is that I don't believe that I know enough on ADB... :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zilch25:
Well that's the thing, if you have experience with Odin and have flashed kernels and modems and other modules around with it before the Swap method will take you a minute to do. However, if you AREN'T familiar with Odin the possibility of doing things wrong is a lot higher, even with step by step instructions if you aren't experienced with getting into download mode you'll have trouble along the way.

The rage method is pretty easy too, and the upside of using ADB is, if you don't know how to use it it will spit out errors and not goof anything up. It either works or it doesn't :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinuxNewb:
The major PITA with Odin really isn't Odin's fault at all... It's making sure you know the button configurations to get into download mode.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNut*:
I have more experience using ODIN at this point.

Have flashed a few ROMs...

Using ADB is there anything special that I need for it to play with Win7?

I like not screwing up... lol

ADB is called from the command line right? After having extracted all the contents from the zip file.. I think I got the latest framework (.Net4).

Need anything else?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] LinuxNewb:
Just make sure you run the CMD prompt from within the tools directory where the adb.exe resides.

Just make sure debugging mode is on and that you connect properly. adb usb or adb start-server is one of the first commands you should use in order to have it properly connected.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNut*:
Re: Buttons...

Yeah once u know how to get in to DL mode its really simple... Not really a PITA since Odin pretty much takes care of the rest...

I will play with the ADB when I get a chance though, since knowledge is power.... :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TechNut*:

I used the forum. saw that maybe hooking it up to pc and starting custom rom .exe should work. but no. wont even start when hooked to a computer. so please help!

Hey guys,

maybe you haven't read my whole posting: Have you tried to get access to tricolor bootloader without pluged in SIM and SD?

If you had trouble with your answer button before flashing, is it possible your volume button is also without function? Therefore it seems to be a hardware problem.

Sorry, if this is not the answer you would like to read, but the advise to test without pluged in SIM and SD is my last. Entering bootloader is a basic system feature, as far as I know.
