[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
My 2 cents:

I don't know why it took hours to enable sideloading, i spent only a few minutes - but that gives me the impression that something might seriously be broken.

I would back up everything you want to save and do a master reset - it will clear all data, but you hould be JH7 fresh. If you want to go further, you can reflash factory JF6 then update to JH7. Either way, make sure you check basic apps first before installing a bunch of stuff.

I don't subscribe to the blind grasping at straws method of fixing things. After to many hours it is just faster to rebuild. If you knew what was wrong, then fix it, but if you don't then rebuild.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] swedishcancerboi:
I agree. If you are needing this to function properly now, then just reset back to factory and start over. But if you are like me and just have to know what is broken.....that could take a while. I always try to make sure I don't have anything on my phone I couldn't live without just for instances like this.

Flashing just the kernel can be done with Odin (search the forum). There is a "stock captivate kernel" floating around (I'd post it, but I'm sure we don't need files posted multiple times). Instructions are included in that post. Basically you need a computer, USB cable, drivers, and bollocks. However, as mentioned, this is a shot in the dark. Random force closes could be caused by a variety of issues ranging from corrupt software, file system inconsistencies, to hardware failure, phase of the moon, appetite level, etc....

The safest bet is to backup everything, flash stock (if needed) and take it back to AT&T for a replacement.

Good Luck!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Hi:

Thank you so much for the replies, and help.

I decided to go ahead and reflash JH7. This has fixed the entire problem. So, apparently it was software related.

I am now going to install all my apps one at a time, in order to find the culprit. Hopefully it is one I can live without lol.

Anyway, thanks again!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tnerb123:
Did you ever figure out what app was causing this? I am starting to get annoyed with my force closes and was going to re-flash and re-add all apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Hi:

Well, I MAY have figured it out. I had a million programs installed, and it just seemed like too much work to try to figure it out.

So I just re-installed JH7, and started from scratch, so I'll never really know what the problem was.

However recently I started having the same problem again. Since I started from scratch I have been gradually installing programs, just in case one cased a problem.

Well, it seems my problem was Startup Manager. I did NOT disable any system programs etc..., but it was still causing apps to crash, as soon as I froze it with Titanium Backup Manager, the problem stopped.

So, if you happen to be using Startup Manager, I would try uninstalling/ disabling it. Or, if you use a task manager, try not using it, maybe it is stopping whatever Startup Manager was disabling on mine.

Anyway, I hope this was of some help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cincy1020:
Oops, sorry, the program causing my troubles is actually called Startup Auditor.
[Liquid S100 General] Koki1337:
Recently I bought a retail Acer Liquid E and I looked at a few screnshots of the Acer Liquid. Both are white in colour

The things I realized is that the design changed quite a lot. List of differences are :

Aspect Liquid Liquid E

RAM 256MB 512MB

Android ver. 1.6 Donut 2.1 Eclair

Notification light colour Blue White

Physical buttons' colour Silver Greyish black

Just something to share since there's a lot of complaints going on about the only upgrade for Liquid to Liquid E is the RAM.
[Liquid S100 General] HustlinDaily:
The Android version isn't a big deal as official update for Liquid is available on Acer website.

Never knew about those color differences tho.
[Liquid S100 General] [[ Cold ]]:
also if u get an E rogers version, 3g will be 850/1900/2100

not the usual liquid 900/1900/2100
[Liquid S100 General] Koki1337:
Ah never knew that. By the way, sorry for posting this at the wrong section
[Liquid S100 General] Chewy11:
Cool to know about my rogers liquid... thanks
[Liquid S100 General] dragonz6189:
Why the change from 900 to 850? Is that specific to Rogers' network? Could a 900/1900/2100 phone work without issues on the Rogers network?

EDIT: Oh wait 900 is European isn't it? N/A uses the 850 ?
[Liquid S100 General] HustlinDaily:
I know for AT&T you can use either/or 850MHz and 1900MHz. A phone with both bands is ideal but if you have 1 band, you can get 3G.

I have a 900/1900/2100 (Liquid A1 S100) and I get 3G throughout most of the greater Houston area.

My guess is that it is the same for Rogers.

[Captivate Android Development] alphadog00:
A lot of work has gone into removing AT&T Bloatware, but has anyone looked at the init files to see what/where some of them are auto-starting?

Have the init files been changed in any of the custom roms? I ask only because I wonder if the OS will keep trying to start something that is not there? AT&T Navigator seems to be one of those apps that runs on its own, so i wonder if it starts in init.rc?
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Anyone know if and how I could turn off 3G but leave data on in 1x only? I'd love to keep data always-on but heard 1x is much better for battery than 3G.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
Thanks for that tip. Tried to install it from the market and got an unsucessful install error. Description says it's for CM6 only - I'm running fresh.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rutter9:
You can always unclick mobile network in wireless settings to turn off
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fchipm:
True but it's my understanding that disables data all together. I'd like to keep data on but just disable 3G. Reckon it's not possible.
[Fascinate Android Development] ikithme:
Is it safe to remove SNS and all of its services? Will it affect the weather clock (I assume so)?
[Fascinate Android Development] Daswolven:
One would think so. After removing all of the crap-ware I assumed was safe, I was noticing occasional force closing of system processes, and re-instated certain things like the SNS files, after which the FC issues went away.

I guess the question would be what is the harm in leaving them?
[Desire General] TH1882FC:
I had an issue with prolauncher where i tried to set up a screen 1x1 columns, this put me into a force close loop so i tried a reboot from recovery and have also tried a factory reset however it seems to be stuck in a loop at the screen with "android" where it sort of glimmers across it after the green htc on the white background?

Any ideas on how i get out of this? I'm stuck in the office at the moment so am unable to attach the phone to a pc for now?
[Desire General] shoemeistah:
Hmm, there are several things you can do, add if I forgot something:

1. Reflash the ROM.

2. Wipe Date and Cache.

3. Restore Nandroid backup if you have one. (I recommend you do this regularly in the future).

4. If you didn't reset to factory after the force close loop you could reinstall it from adb, guess that's not an option now though.

"An OTA update will be announced soon. Please do not install the kies update due to some known issues." - T-Mobile USA
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tjhart85:
Meh, I'm happy with the update. I'll flash the new one when it comes out too, but this is running smoothly for me.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Of course, it's better. However, you'll likely have to flash back to stock 2.1 JFD as I'd expect to you won't be able to update directly from JI5. Even the JI5 update forced people to do that (for example those that were on JI2 / JI4), I'd expect more of the same. There are those who have no problem doing this and that's fine. I'm just warning those who aren't / might not be.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] demo23019:
Fine there are Odin official tmobile images over in bible sticky and take a min to flash

Yea you lose programs settings ...ect but IMO its better to start from scratch when using new updates. And not run into intermittent and compatibility issues like what seems to be going on now with allot of people

but yea this update works great no problems whats so ever for me
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
Thanx, but I sorta needed that working GPS last week, not soon. Besides, "soon" is such an evasive term.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
This makes me recollect the June 8th outing of a policy statement by Cole Brodman, Chief Technology Officer @ T-Mobile titled "No Phone Left Behind". It was in regards to assuring owners of the HTC Mytouch3G that they'd be receiving a Froyo update.

Nearly four months later and zip for the MT3G from Tmobile or HTC.

Maybe I'm wrong as my knowledge of timelines is from the inside of my addled head, but I do not believe T-Mobile has had a successful OTA of *ANY* Android phone in their stable this year at all. It's not the most encouraging development. (I do recall the Behold II 1.6 OTA, but it was eventually pulled for bricking phones....and led to me getting my Vibrant for free from T-Mobile before the official Vibrant launch...long story).

Granted, T-Mobile does not develop firmware, so they are at the mercy of the phone manufacturers. Still, if there's any issue that is at the core of Android angst, it is this one.

Just so I don't come across as a troll, I love my Vibrant. Compared to the Behold II I had and every other smartphone I've had it's leaps and bounds ahead of them all. I just get irritated when P.R. and "spin" get out of control...
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
Of course, this thread was a warning to the people who hadn't yet flashed JI5 / Kies and were still uncomfortable with doing it. Obviously, it's not people who are (already) comfortable. Knowledgeable people are certainly free to ignore and flash away. :D
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jrharvey:
This is BS. T-Mobile... how soon is soon? How long have we heard there would be an update to the MyTouch? I cannot and will not wait around for them to OTA anything. I will be very shocked if I get an update in the next month. I know i sound a little pessimistic but who wouldn't?
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] grennis:
This is nonsense, installing this update does not prevent me from ODIN to any other firmware. I went directly from JI4 to JI5, so whoever said that I cannot do that is very confused.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] krylon360:
That's because you ODIN flashed it.

Kies looked for the JFD product code, then gave you the option to update.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] disturkis4u:
Lol how ironic that they don't want you to flash the firmware because it has 'known' issues. But the firmware on it has bigger issues so hmmm
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
I can't fault T-Mobile for wanting to try to stem the tide of potentially bricked phones and clueless noobs calling in for support, though. :p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mobilebone:
OTA could brick it just as well. Would it be Samsungs first OTA update for Android or the first OTA ever?:p
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] epakrat75:
True. I'd like to think the probability of bricking over OTA would be lower. Since it would be an official update they'd also likely be / feel more obligated to provide whatever support they wanted to.
[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] masterotaku:
Tmobile last update for the Samsung behold ii was pulled for bricking phones it can happen.

Neither Samsung nor Tmobile have a great track record with ota updates period.

Hello everyone! I have a generic chinese GPS unit that I picked up on Ebay for 20 bucks. The unit has a 4.3" touchscreen display, an MTK ARM1176JZ processor at 533mhz, a 64mb ROM i'm to assume, 2gb of flash memory built in, and a microSD port. The unit is running a hacked version of iGO 8 and some boring finger friendly menu that allows you to watch videos, read ebooks, play music....the usual boring stuff that is included in generic devices. Windows CE 5.0 is just boring too. The unit is capable, i think, of running a flavor of Linux. I was wondering if someone has successfully done this before. I read through some forums, but nothing that really matches what i'm looking for. I think it would be pretty cool/interesting if linux could run on these devices that are so cheap and so readily available! How would I go about doing this? Any ideas? I don't care if I brick this thing either, I am willing to try anything. Thanks in advance!

[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] posguy99:
You already have a keyboard using that name installed. That's why you get the conflict. Therefore, the answer is to remove the one you already have, to install the other. Since the one you have is installed in /system, not /data, you can't just overwrite it.

That, or get one prepared by someone with a little more on the ball, that doesn't conflict.

Seems rather simple.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CTH-EVO:
My only thought here, was that if it wasn't a stock ROM, that it may be a custom keyboard app.

So there could conceivably be a better route to take to resolve the issue.

[Nexus One Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Arcarsenal:
For what it's worth, I notice that when the phone is going through the boot process right about the time the softkey lights under the screen light up the screen vibrates ever so slightly. I imagine this is normal behavior, perhaps the digitizer or the haptic feedback (engine/service/whatever) starting up. It's a very slight tremor that you might even miss if you're holding the phone in hand.

Is this similar to the issue you two have seen, only stronger?

Does anybody else have a problem with their phone "stuttering" when they switch songs on their Captivate. I mean, sometimes it's okay because it just happens at the beginning of the song, but other times it continues for half the song, and it's really frustrating me. I can't seem to find any other threads with people having this problem, so.... any suggestions? also, if it helps, I'm using stock JH7 with the one click lag fix available on the market... I have messed with all of the options a while back, but I never set any to "set on boot" also, I am using setCPU as "conservative" but I tried it on "performance" and still had the same problem.

Any suggestions are welcome. :)
[Captivate General] InsaneJester17:
I used to get this a lot and I will say that what you have running in background can make this happen more. But, I'd recommend getting rid of the one click lag fix and upgrading to the voodoo lag fix. Besides helping with music studders, voodoo has made my phone so much snappier!

edit: also you might try a different music program. Try searching for android stock music player, or doubletwist in the market. I use btunes but it isn't free.
[Captivate General] shiftylock:
I was using Voodoo before, and it seemed to make the stuttering worse... but I think I might just wait until 2.2 and see if Voodoo is available for it. Also, I totally forgot about what was running in the background.
