Hi Guys,

Anyone confirms that the "3.5 mm" doesn't work on this ROM? also the battery is lieing & very inaccurate?
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
My 3.5mm works just fine - Dropbox on the other hand...

DLed the one-click downloader, opened, held volume buttons, plugged into USB, the android triangle popped up, clicked start, and got this message multiple times:

<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0)

I left it multiple times, once for two hours. It just doesn't do anything. Tried a master clear, same message. What am I missing?
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
Are you in download mode? Do you see the little dude with the shovel - it should be really, really clear if you are cause it says DOWNLOAD MODE or something.
[Captivate Android Development] hott-toddy:
Yes, I've tried it several times with Odin loaded before plugging it in with it in showing download mode. The longest I had it in was about two and a half hours; I'm assuming it doesn't take that long?
[Captivate Android Development] vsboxerboy1:
If you're using Vista or 7, make sure that you're running Odin as an administrator. put the phone in download mode, run odin in administrator mode, THEN connect the phone...if that doesn't work try uninstalling and reinstalling the drivers.
[Captivate Android Development] hott-toddy:
Now running Odin as an administrator. When I reconnect the phone, Windows does not recognize the device in download mode. In normal mode, it recognized it as an android device, so I reinstalled the drivers, turned the phone off, ran Odin again and plugged in the phone for download mode aaannnddd... still says Unknown Device.

Why can't it just be as easy as it should be? haha
[Captivate Android Development] cliffgardner:
Don't get me wrong, I'm glad to see this is available but are there any actual benefits to choosing this over the cognition 2.2 beta 7?

Does AT&T bloatware, etc come loading in this build?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
It is your personal choice....DG put this out when he got it then started modifying for cog 2.2

I'm terribly sorry to ask this, as it probably has been answered previously, but I've looked all over the internet on how to back up my Captivate, with no success. So I dreadfully ask, how do I back up my data so I can flash JI6 afterward? :confused:

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] esox23:
I too am interested in how I can go back an out of the box flash if down the road I decide to.

Download Odin and you can flash back to the stock rom if things go awry

Love the 2.2 but holy crap is the battery a $hit show

even with ATK on CRAZY and autokill on screen off

need to get battery optimization fixed
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Just recalibrate your battery, no worries. Did you flash on a full charge?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You might want to consider forgoing the task killer....i finally did a while back and my battery definitely lasts longer. It was hard...don't get me wrong but just trust the os to take care of that for you.

If you are really seeing an issue that you feel you need a task killer for, use a monitoring program such as system panel and you can see how much or little cpu time those evil apps sitting in memory are actually using ;)

You don't need ATK or any for that matter, your battery will improve, I used to use TK, not for the past two weeks and battery has improved.

one more question, is it bad if i have 3 batteries, 1 is oem and 2 are different but the same
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I don't think it's bad, I have them too, I like to have a fresh battery available whenever I flash something new to the phone. Every couple of days I recalibrate if needed when I am flashing a lot. Oh and welcome to the forum. Enjoy your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] slashmania:
Ok, first off, thanks a ton for passing this on. Life saving deal. I have been having a weird problem since flashing this build. whenever i got to the market, and search for the asphalt HD that i had purchased for 5 bucks, it says no result found. i reverted back to the eclair stock ROM and it works then. is this due to the froyo build or my phone is messed up.

P.S: i googled the **** out of this problem, but no answers, and hence i finally posted here. thanks again

[Captivate Android Development] slashmania:
So is there a remedy to this?
[Captivate Android Development] lolgrec:
lagfix

so i flashed my phone with the one-click Odin to froyo (no cog or anything fancy, just what was provided) and i saw the RyanZA lagfix on the market...so would that work with froyo? or am i going to turn my phone into a fancy paperweight? and i apologize in advance if this was already addressed i didn't look through the 150 some odd pages entirely D: any help would be greatly appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
editing build.prop
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Worst that will happen us you have data problems though that is highly unlikely....and since you can obviously flash, as long as you have download mode, get to trying out some of the other options out there. Voodoo is coming to froyo soon for us which is theoretically safer than oclf but you gotta get off the stock train... ;)

Edit...short answer is it works just make sure you don't have any apps on your sd card as this makes it fail to apply

ahhhh i see i see well i figured the ryanza method was straight but ill definitely wait for voodoo then albeit i have no idea how id put it on my phone nor do i know a good rom to put on here besides this stock one im hopeless haha but i appreciate your help sir
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Check out three z4mod thread here in captivate development forum...that is what I am using for lag and also the aosp beta rom is nice (what I am running atm ;) ). Cognition is also a rom I use frequently and if you want to get adventurous, venture off to the i9000 reorient roms. Just be careful, flashing can become an addiction!

What's the linpack score?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
Well you can only boot into one rom currently. There is work going on for the htc evo to multi boot several android roms and maybe in the future winmo for the hd2. but the devs here haven't started work along those lines and the mod keeps moving threads on that topic.

However you can backup a number of roms with clockwork recovery and restore them as long as they are the same android version. you will need a kernel with the older 2e recovery, root, and rom manager. To restore an eclair rom from froyo you will need to first flash an eclair rom, the backups will still be there, then in clockwork recovery you can flash a backup.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Well...how much memory do you have?....jk...as stated, you can only run one at a time but that does not stop you from flashing new ones at will...i actually had three different ones going at different times yesterday...had the day off, wife at work, kids at school...what was I supposed to do? ;)

Ok so i haven't flashed any of the Froyo builds because there were a lot of things not working here and there....

Seeing this made me jump right back into the forums....

So from stock I rooted with the 1 click root...

Installed Rom Manager and Flashed Recovery from there....

Put phone in download mode.... took a while to do this. Had to use Terminal Emulator on phone to get it into download mode..

Anyways... was able to flash this ROM and all is well it looks..

So here is where my question: When it booted up again I lost my root and SU Icon.. so I was thinking I am not rooted anymore. I tried the 1 Click root again and it errored out...

I need to be rooted and busybox installed so that I can install prgorams NOT FROM MARKET...

How do I root this Froyo 2.2? Am I rooted somehow still but with no icons? What do I do next....

I recently purchased samsung captivate. By god's grace and developers grace I was able to unlock it to tmobile and using it now. If it flash to 2.2 will it lock again? I still have the unlock code? Can I use the same code to unlock again?

Can someone post me simple instructions on how to to flash to 2.2 using this?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
There are a number of ways to root. Many roms will do it when you flash, as well as enable side loading non market apps, etc...also a very easy way...as in my 12 year old could do it, is to download OCLF from market.. open app, click on root phone, click fire it up, success.

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
It will still be unlocked. After flashing mine to 2.2 I tried locking back to AT&T and unlocking it again and it worked.

Just be sure to save your unlock code because after you flash to 2.2 (or even the OTA 2.1 update) the unlock codes will be wiped from the phone.

Exchange email issue

Anyone notice have an issue when you reply or forward an email using exchange the email cuts off the response? Did not have this issue with 2.1. Interestingly it does not happen when I originate a message. This issue makes the device useless for business use.

Thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Hmmm, why can't I find certain apps in the market?

I know they still exist as I downloaded some of them yesterday. What's the fix for this?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] opcow:
Maybe it's your Android ID. You can flash back to 2.1 and get your original ID and then use Android ID Changer to fix it when you're back in froyo. If there is any easier way, I don't know about it.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Has some flaws...

I was originally running Unleash the beast but then downgraded back to stock using Odin. Completely wiped it clean and rebuilt it.

Stupidly, I decided to try this version of 2.2 and I found it had a lot of bugs.

1. It's very choppy. I was constantly getting some major hesitation when clicking around. It was not smooth at all. Especially compared to stock. I even ran Quadrant and it came back slower than the Galaxy S.

2. A few apps I like are not available on the market. Calorie Counter and New York Times. That sucks.

3. A few of my apps didn't work at all. NPR and Public Radio Streaming. They didn't play at all but they worked fine stock and with Unleash the Beast.

4. The market was crashing quite often.

5. The battery life was horrid. I literally lost 10% battery life in less than 15 minutes. I plugged it in and it still was draining. I rebooted and it stayed about the same, even while plugged in.

Anyway, I'm back to super stock for now...not even rooted. I think I'm going to stay "official" for a little while because I've spent far too many hours on this thing lately. :)

I also rooted and did the 2.2 upgrade on my G1...so I still have a toy I can tinker with.

But those of you not having problem..congrats! But those of you wondering if you should do this...just be aware that is definitely not flawless...IMHO.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
It's a known issue I found out...some apps will not be available since 2.2 is not "officially" out yet.
[Captivate Android Development] Ozydedanaan:
Drew489, no New York Times or NPR - I would think that was a FEATURE ;) Just messin' with ya, dude.

You're right on the battery life, definitely worse than 2.1 stock - so far though, I'm only burning through about 50% in an eight hour work day, so I can live with it.

I haven't seen anyone else mention this, but before my first reboot after going to 2.2, everything was running way slow, keypresses were taking in upwards of 10 seconds to register, and I could literally watch my battery bleed out. After the first reboot, everything ran fine.

Still a little slow on the back and home buttons occasionally, but still usable.

Ozy
[Captivate Android Development] djfrost40:
Yeah i have to say...that i did try the 2.2 and in the end it's a nice preview of whats to come, but not nearly as smooth as the stock rom that came with the phone. I mean yes...i did like the cool new features that the 2.2 had but at the end of the day. Not being able to get some of my favorite market apps like the "have to have" Fandango app at the least. I mean that is one of the coolest apps out there. With 2.2 the market didn't see my phone so a lot of stuff was locked. Not to mention no voice dial over bluetooth support still. From what i understand the official froyo 2.2 will have voice dial over bluetooth so that will be cool. So im not knocking the devs who came up with this 2.2 but it does need a lot of work, but like a said it was a nice preview of whats to come. Even if the official ATT version doesn't have tethering i can still get that through the samsung keis software so that's no big deal.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You guys need to edit your build prop file in order to see all the apps in the market as it does not recognize the phone on froyo.

You can try eris market fix on the market or search the forums on changing your build prop file. It is simple

As for the speed, switch to an i9000 rom with a reorient kernel. They have official build which is optimized and lag fixes incorporated..you won't be sorry

Live several people said, I too am having a lot of freezing/choppy problems with my Captivate since flashing to 2.2.

The Browser is incredibly laggy.

Doing simple things like sending a text message can completely lock up your phone and force a reboot.

Launcher pro has to reboot often.

JuiceDefender no longer works so thus my battery drops over 20% over night if not more.

Unlocking the screen can take a long time.

Is there some way I can downgrade back to 2.1 without flashing and completely formatting everything?
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Yes, use Odin 1-click to get back to stock 2.1. But, before that, I would back up your apps using AppBackup Reinstall. I like this as a back up tool for apps only. It will back them to your SD card just in case.

As for emails, pictures, contacts, etc...they should all be syncing with Google or whatever anyway.

[Captivate Android Development] Uppsala9496:
Only way to get back to 2.1 is odin as previously stated, even if there is a 2.1 nandroid on the phone?

2.2 was working great and the last couple of days has constantly been shutting of the phone (which is irritating when waiting for some important calls to find out the phone is off).

I'm assuming all of my pictures, music, etc will be deleted? All of this survived the move to 2.2 from 2.1. I did copy all of this info onto my computer. Would it be as simple as dragging/dropping back onto the phone to have them back after going back to 2.1 if all is cleared during the conversion?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
As long as you have been saving photos, etc to your sd card, they will not be deleted unless you do a master clear or format your card in another way. But in case something goes wrong you should back them up to your pc anyway.

As for three random shutdowns, hopefully it is not one of the phones that seem to develop this problem. There its a thread dedicated to that problem

[Captivate Android Development] degenerazn:
Thanks, I actually had to use this once when my phone bricked on me. But this will completely wipe everything out. After having to reinstall all my apps, link all my contacts, set up my widgets/icons, etc etc for the 4th time, I think I'll just wait till they fix the bugs with 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Don't you guys sync your contacts with Google? I don't understand how people worry about contacts or emails anymore...it all syncs...that's the main draw of these phones...to me, anyway.

As for apps, yes, you will lose them but use a backup apps tool (plenty in the market) to back them up to your SD card. You will have to reinstall them, kind of a PITA but doable.

SMS' would be gone too or you could back them app using an app in the market. Restore them after.

Anything on your external (the tiny little one that you can remove) SD card would still be there.

All your settings would be set back to stock settings. But that doesn't take more than a few seconds to fix, depending on what you even changed, if anything. I.e. the pattern to unlock your screen...you'd have to reset that if you use that feature.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
The problem with that is it's not the official version of 2.2 so you're probably going to have to do downgrade back to 2.1 then upgrade to the "official" 2.2 version from AT&T when it comes out.

Then use all the software hackers...errr..developers version of the stuff they do to 2.2. I doubt anyone is going to clean up that early version of 2.2 because the by time they spend time doing that...the "official" version will be out.

With my experience, you won't get the OTA updates from ATT on your phone if you're hacked, rooted or using same random version of Android. I.e. this version of 2.2.

No harm in waiting though I guess. My phone was just unusable because I needed some of the apps I couldn't download. Plus the choppiness and constant freezing was hell.
[Captivate Android Development] TheSopranos16:
@Designgears Thanks for hooking us up with this. I've been using it for the past month and the benefits of Froyo are with the occasional hiccup of running a beta build.

That being said, do you think we'll get a more update leak between now and when the official Froyo release comes out? Kinda the way we had JH2 and JH3 before JH7?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Dg has cognition which is a modified 2.2 build. There are also i9000 roms that you can run by using the reorient kernel that will enable hsupa. Tayutamas is one as well as others. They are simple to install and voodoo lagfix is now incorporated as well! There is also a build which is close to aosp which runs very smooth...that one is called cde aosp. Just look in dev forum here and you will find a much better 2.2 experience.

Playlist clearing on subsequent mass storage connects

I'm unsure if this is a problem with 2.1, but on stock 2.2 after I sync a few playlists using DoubleTwist or iSyncr, the playlists work fine.

On subsequent connects to my PC as a mass storage device and not syncing any playlists, after unplugging, when the media scanner finishes scanning I have playlists (sometimes duplicates) but none of the playlists have any media associated with them. The media is still on my SD card so they can be played, the playlists are just empty.

Anyone else having this problem? Was this a problem in 2.1?
