You can do this, but it has to be a phone contact, not a gmail contact. Then you can link the phone contact to the gmail contact.

I think this whole setup is dumb in Samsung's part. I miss being to assign a ringtone to a contact like I did on my G1.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] s0niqu3:
Hi,

Eugene managed to port the AOSP/stock contacts & phone apps to the vibrant in his "Hybrid" series of roms, and he's hoping to release a new update tonight, so you might want to check it out when he does.

Otherwise, yep, no way to assign a custom ringtone to a contact stored on google from the vibrant's default contacts application, javacody's suggestion is the only way to do this.

This is one of my top 3, most boneheaded, backwards modifications samsung made to android. The other two would be creating all new Calendar events by default on the phone locally instead of your google calendar, and making sms/mms delivery/red reports post a notification, instead of an in-line icon like the AOSP sms/mms app.

Sigh, so much for not fixing something that isn't broken.

Cheers, =)

Im looking for a ROM that has norwegian (no-bm) menus, has win 6,5 with the same menus as HD2/HD2 mini? I cant seem to find anyone.

I found and tried a lot of WWE roms, they are really great, some of them, but i get tired of having my mobile in dual language!

pls link me if there should happen to be any

I am starting this thread so folks that are having batery life issues on their Captiates can post their findings.

Captivate users are getting mixed battery life with the stock and custom ROMs. Let's see if we can't get the problem narrowed down. Whether it's an issue with Battery Stats or possible a bad batch of batteries, whatever the case let's get this settled and resolved once and for all.

When posting, please include some basics about your device. We all know it's a Captivate, this is the Captivate forum, duh! But let's include ROM name, if custom, use STOCK for Stock. Date stamp on your battery, any custom apps and your basic settings.

Let's narrow this down.

Thanks.

Prsonally I am running Cognition 2.2 Beta 7. Have had the same problem with all prior ROMs as well as stock.

Have tried completely draining, recharging with device off, reset battery stats. No luck, same result. I leave the house at 5:30a, am down to 70% by the time I get to work. By 5:00p it's dead if I don't plug it in.

My next step is to try buying a new battery. See if that helps.

Anyone have any other ideas?

I had the same issue earlier.

I noticed that my battery life came back to normal once I stopped using ADW and disabled automatic sync for my corporate (exchange ) email account in @email.

(I am currently using TW Launcher with Cognition 2.2 Beta 6).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] avgjoegeek:
I can get on avg. 12-18hrs of battery life... with light use.

For my everyday typical type of usage? About 10hrs with moderate usage.

But.. let's say I'm stuck in a waiting room somewhere for a few hours? With heavy use - even with the screen dimmed - I can get 4hrs out of the device.

Bottom line.. no matter how hard I tweak this thing - the display just eats the battery like a fat kid at an all-you-can-eat buffet. So I just keep it hooked up whenever I'm at a computer... which is my job so quite a bit :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dngen:
My first captivate stock, I was easily getting 18-24 hours.

After having it replaced with another one, I'm getting less than 8 hours.

The only differences is that the second one was updated to JH7 using Samsung Kies
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] torres76:
Hi mate I have a galaxy s I used to get a days usage from the battery with heavy usage so I bought a 3000mah expanded one from Amazon.co.uk i haven't completely set the battery up yet it has only had one full charge and one full discharge but it lasts two days now with heavy usage games, movies and allot of web and app browsing maybe you should try one.

The battery comes with a new back cover and obviously makes the phone fatter but it is easier to hold and not really that heavy.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] tylerspaska:
+1

It's all in the screen usage. I'm also using setCPU which helps the standby time significantly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Demented71:
I have gotten a full 21 hours on this phone. But that is with probably what most would consider light usage. Maybe a few texts, some checking via XDA app, updating Facebook, playing a few games for about 30 minutes, but then when I sleep, I leave it unplugged, but turn off Wifi/Mobile Data and Autosync. When I'm at work, I leave those on. My display is always set to auto brightness, with the time out at 15 seconds.

Running Cognition 2.2 Beta 7 and I don't seem to have a dat of manufacture on these eBay batteries. My stock one is at work, so when I get there tonight, I'll update this post.

But like someone else said, I think it's all within the idea of what one calls moderate use. If I am using my phone a lot, the life goes does dramatically. My phone probably sits more than it is used, therefore that's why my battery life is so long. I'm happy with a baseline of 8-10 hours on this, since I have multiple opportunities to either plug it in, or switch to a fresh battery.

comparing with iphone - you could have all sync via wifi.

Am I doing something wrong ?

not sure what is wrong with your phone, if anything.

but my calendar, emails, phone book and other stuff syncs normally when i'm on WiFi

check your settings perhaps?

did you install any app that might give you some choices related to that?
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cedricberger:
It may be that your wifi has not all ports open.

sync uses gtalk for the push notifications. Check if you can connect to gtalk when on wifi.

Well, I'm on a rooted (hardware-locked) Vibrant with Stock FW, with no other modifications other than ClockWorkMod. I got the update available message, but I hear it bricks alot of phones regardless if its modified or not. Are the benefits worth the risks? I know there is an option to hardware-unlock it but it seems that theres only a 50-50 chance of it working. Ill give you some general info below.

LagFix- No

Kernel- Stock

Rooted- Yes

GPSfix- No

FW/ROM: Stock UVJFSD

hardware locked is when you do not have any button combinations to allow you to get into download mode or into recovery mode.

if you are rooted, don't do the update. My GF's phone is rooted and the phone hang at vibrant screen after update. Another friend with everything stock and non rooted updated fine.

2) download LG EVO Launcher / Widgets to the SD card and download it as you would any other app with "ASTRO , file manager ETC".

3)

"Application not installed"

I have an Optimus, so I already had the default LG Home on my phone which I never used. I downloaded the new one, tried installing it, it told me I had to replace the current LG Home. It failed and gave me an error "Application not installed". So then I used Root Uninstaller to first backup then uninstall LG Home. I did that, then came back and it still said it was going to replace the application. So then I went back and deleted my backup LG Home.

:confused: It STILL didn't work. :confused:

It still says LG Home is on the phone, even though I uninstalled it and its backup file. I really want this launcher, I like LG Home and the only reason I don't use it is because of the lack of customization on the dock and some other things missing. This one seems much better and I really wanna try it out. Any help at all would be great.
[EVO 4G Themes and Apps] GeneralSky2004:
Very nice launcher.

Like: The look. It has a nice feel to it and looks very nice. I like the customization you can do in the App Drawer and the widgets you posted as well.

Dislike: It felt a bit sluggish compared to ADW or Launcher Pro. I don't like that you can't reorganize the applications on the dock. I wish it had loping like the sense 3.0/LP/ADW. I wish I could delete the preset categories in the drawer instead of just renaming them. I don't personally like having that many divisions in the apps.

Overall, I really liked it and it was unique. Needs a little TLC, but it is well worth the dl.
