[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
I did not know that 80% of the market is not supposed to recognize my phone any more. Somebody should let the market know. Maybe now that I know 89% of the market is not supposed to work it will now quit working. Oh no! as I am typing this 93% of the market just disappeared from my cappy!

And by the way, if I get caught with stolen software in my possession - i'm turning all of you all in!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
60% of the time, it works everytime

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewart2568:
It's a leaked rom, which means that someone decided to release this...why are so many people interested in having their phones flashed back to eclair if this leaked rom is so much better? I don't understand...If I own a ford and decide to buy a toyota and it's a much better car...why would i go back to a ford? That's moving backwards right?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
id definatly buy a ford over a toyota right now. toyota is overrated and ford is moving up. really drive one before you speak.

ok froyo has market issues right now do to presumably the android id. it has many new gui features and is much faster and in my experiance better battery life. so if you cant deal with the market errors wait for an official release. that is why many are going back. that and some of us are addicted to flashing our phones every 48 hours.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
I know! Your preaching to the choir here man. You already won me over.

Especially since 97% of the market no longer recognizes my phone. And im sitting here on edge waiting for the authorities to bust through my door any second. And all bugs and everything, I mean even though I actually have fewer now than I did when I was running stock, since you said the rom I am running is full of bugs it must chalked full of bugs.

And even though my phone battery life is better what good is it going to do me as I rot in what ever hell hole these authorities are going to put me in when they finally do bust down me door.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
No one is forcing you to flash it. My market has no problems whatsoever. Don't flash keep it stock and wait for the next at&t ota to brick your phone. It is hard to tell if you're serious or joking.

To the other poster talking about bugs and other non truths, I agree with Pirateghost go back to the beginner site Android Forums and spread your rumors there.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
yea, I often have issues on message boards because I am to much of a sarcastic smart ass and sarcasm often doesn't come through in print very well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
After reading your posts a few times I realized it had to be sarcasm. It was funny.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dayv:
Yea, it can be hard to catch sarcasm when your just scanning through the way most of us do when were reading posts.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] buddy17:
ever heard of a contract? how about other people on my plan stuck on owning the iphone??

In all seriousness, XDA is not a place for you. The people at xda are people who enjoy modding, using these so called "stolen" firmwares, and can understand the risks they pose and how to reverse if something does go wrong. That is OBVIOUSLY not you...now head on back over to the 13 and under group at android forums and make sure to stay out of the root section! ;)

Love it. More pros than cons way worth it. I started with N1 while back. Its great.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Asori:
Srysly?

Seriously, can this troll be banned already?

To the OP:

I'm running the Froyo build right now. I have noticed only a FEW problems, there are some random force closes but nothing more than what Eclair did to me on the official JI6 release. Everything else about Froyo is amazing.

Also, I'm not sure what you mean about not being able to revert back to stock after flashing the Froyo leak. Everything I've read lead me to believe you can use Odin to put the stock kernel and ROM back on without any issues. I haven't tried, however, when I was running Eclair rooted with OCLF I was able to restore to the original firmware with absolutely no issues.

Hope this resolves your concerns. In all honesty, if your phone runs good for you now - there's no reason to update. If you want to tweak your phone, go for it! That's what XDA is all about!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
i feel like this guy right now but ill hold myself back. i think the op can sort out the helpful members from the trolls.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro2112:
Back in college we used to use a* after sarcastic comments, made things way easier

To op: installed beta 6 last week. Had no problems getting apps back (didn't use TB so i didn't cause version errors). So far its been nearly flawless, and any problem that occurred was fixed with a restart. Flash and try it out if you don't like it odin back to stock.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] fsrkewd:
so if i flash to 2.2, what is the best way to restore my contact? sync with google is making all my contact in gmail appear on my phone, and i don't want that

What exactly is "version errors"? i read that its ok to restore apps using TB, but not with system data
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cliffgardner:
There are no glitches so far and I've been running 2.2 for a few days trying all of the different apps, etc. Additionally, you can revert your phone back to 2.1 and update to the 'official' version whenever AT&T's android developers (read: 2 guys in a basement somewhere) finish raping 2.2 and adding all of the AT&T bloatware that no one wants.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
export to a vcard on the sdcard and then flash then import the vcard
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Djfrost:
WOW!!! I just got my Captivate about 5 days ago...I like the firmware thats with it but from what i hear there's a better upgrade out. I downloaded that ODIN one click and it seems to work great. I updated my phone and it now has froyo 2.2...there's a little difference visually but I don't see much in the performance...I did notice that I used to be able to met MY CAST Weather from the Android Market but now it's not there anymore. Even Fandango is gone now. Hmmm. I think I might uninstall the froyo and go back to the 2.1 so that i can get the apps that i used to have. Maybe ill waite for ATT to send out the official version of froyo, even though that may never happen ....lol!!! when and if it does im pretty sure my contract will be ready to expire and i will move on to another phone anyways.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dani897:
yeah noone is very optimistic about froyo coming soon. id say about december if i had to guess.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Rhiannon224:
Flash back to stock with Odin one click http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989. Go to market and grab an app called Android Device ID and get your ID. Write it down, the market has a problem because all Froyo users have the same ID # and you need your unique number that may be what is preventing you from getting the apps you were looking for. Then reflash Froyo and replace your device ID #. I believe there is now an app to do this. I will find it for ya.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] micro2112:
+1 for that.

but then again, I went ahead and spent about 2hours merging all of my gmail and phone contacts. its nice to have that way bc i never had emails associated with contacts but now i have one master list.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
hi thank you for all the replies :p although 1 rages on the forum sorry for some of my misunderstanding about the froyo leak. I have sumarized what i want to do in my phone and would like to know if its wort it for me to flash or just wait for the official froyo

1. to be able to use the flash 10.1 on the browser ( i like watching anime on my nokia 5800 before using skyfire)

2. I want to unlock my phone so i can use my other sim from other provider

3. I still want to update to OTA when the official froyo comes out

4. I still want my instant messaging app the comes with it. I dont know if its still there if i flash the froyo leak
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Cboss:
You can do all that just know you will have to underdtand to flash ...not everything goes right all time...but well worth it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bmvik:
That stewart guy is one funny mofo... lol

Anyways, I've had Froyo from DG on my Captivate for weeks now. Works awesome! :D

Just noticed an issue that wifi doesnt wanna connect anymore, but thats it! Will look for the fix.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
I have tried looking seems like i cant find an app that let me input the ID #. Have you try to do this on your froyo captivate?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sinichi21:
Is that the firmware Cog 2.2 beta 7?

[Vibrant General] fendel:
I updated my phone to JI6 yesterday via OTA without a hitch. it was rooted with lagfix before, but i've since unapplied OCLF.

for some reason, the phone calls i make while on 3g are being dropped. it seems to work on 2g networks, but i haven't done enough testing.

Is anyone else having this problem?

right now my phone is rooted and stock.
[Vibrant General] Fathom0195:
I am having the same issue. I restored the phone back to orignial rom through ODIN before the OTA. Now I am dropping calls left and right.
[Vibrant General] darkknight49:
as far as i know, voice and data are carried over different frequencies, so they shouldnt affect each other (thats why you can talk and surf the web at the same time).
[Vibrant General] DonutYankee:
I had the same issue for a short while on my phone after flashing JI6 via Odin. Call quality is for some reason back to great and reception is much better.
[Vibrant General] fendel:
in order to make voice calls, i have to be on 2g networks ONLY. if i'm on 3g, then the phone call will after 5 seconds. i've been testing it by dialing my voicemail and i've gotten consistent results.

is there anyway to fix it?? should i go to the t-mo store and if they find out my phone is rooted does that mean my warranty is void or something?
[Vibrant General] fendel:
anyone know of any fixes or experiencing similar problems? or a way to undo the update?

i literally cannot make a call when I am on 3G, i have to force my phone to gsm only.
[Vibrant General] rogerchew:
happening here as well, noticing that it's dropping my calls when im transitioning from edge to 3g and vice versa.
[Vibrant General] ram130:

Great find and thanks. I would prefer the HD7 since I've come to love the size and shape of the phone (HD2). It fits perfectly in my pocket and I actually don't miss having the physical keyboard as much as anticipated (Cingular 8125 and 8525). Both phones are beautiful.
[Windows Phone 7 General] leepenguin:
Love this phone.

Can i slide out the keyboard to answer phone call?
[Touch CDMA General] daveribs:
Hey, I really need some help now.. No one anwsered my other threads.

I have problems with my Bluetooth hardware. Sometimes it works (rarely), sometime it does not. It used to work well about 2 months ago. Never really used it anyways. So my first question is: is there any tool available to verify/check/diagnostic the bluetooth hardware?

For the GPS, I'm also having some problems. I get some readings with GPS Viewer, like 4-6 numbers, but nothing else. It doesn't get satellites with Google Maps. Could a reflash of the radio fix this (currently on 3.42.50, which is the latest version)? Could using Bell's aGPS server settings help (btw, if someone has them.. could you PLEASE post them here! I've been searching for them EVERYWHERE) ?

Thanks in advance!

[General Questions and Answers] gregp1:
Hi,

I've recently purchased a HTC Touch Pro 2 running WM6.1. Before that I was on a Palm Treo 750 on WM6.0, and on the Palm when I touched the battery icon it would pop up an info bubble showing the % remaining. For that matter any of the other icons in the taskbar I clicked on popped up an info bubble. It just makes sense - icon provides basic info, if you want more detail click on it, simple. I presumed this was normal behaviour until I came to the HTC, and now when I click on the battery icon (or network icon or speaker icon for that matter) I just get a 'Notifications' screen which tells me nothing about the battery (or speaker, and not much about the network).

The battery icon itself on the Palm had a smooth decline from 100% to 0% rather than the HTC one which has just 4 fat bars. I know there are numerous other icons out there but I guess my question goes beyond just the appearance of the battery icon to the functionality of the whole taskbar.

How do I go about restoring the 'sensible' functionality of the Palm on the HTC?

Thanks,

Greg

[Focus General] adeltaY:
Hello all, I was wondering if you guys agree with me that the Omnia 7 looks much more awesome than the Focus. Too bad I can't get the Omnia 7 here in the US, you Europeans are damn lucky! :D

Omnia 7:

Focus:
[Focus General] rexian:
If you could show the photos of these 2 models side by side, people could easily decide and vote. Anyways, Focus is the only option for me and I like the fact that it'll have a mSD slot.

http://www.techwatch.co.uk/2010/10/13/samsung-focus-will-have-microsd-support-omnia-7-wont/
[Focus General] ryotgz:
Not a huge fan of the Omnia design myself.
[Focus General] dominicanx:
The omnia 7 will support AT@T 3g. I'm actually ordering a omnia 7 from the UK and use it with a AT&T sim
[Focus General] TheBlueSky.Net:
I liked the Omnia 7 the first time it was announced. Just today I had the chance to see and play with it for few minutes... and now I like it even more :) for me it's the best looking Windows Phone 7 device so far.
[Focus General] A Dustman:
I don't think it will, the omnia 7 has 900/2100 bands, and ATT uses 850/1900
[Focus General] Cruzer1:
Hi TheBlueSky.net,

Are the camera/standby/volume buttons plastic? and do they feel cheap?

Also is the rear bottom and top of the device feel cheap since they're plastic?

The design is up there with the HD7 imo, but the rear of the design has not fully grown on me (looks too busy, rather than simplistic as how the front is).
[Focus General] dominicanx:
A Dustman - below are the specs i got from phonearena.com.

Network Type

GSM Quad-band phone capable of global roaming (850/900/1800/1900 MHz)

UMTS tri-band global 3G (900/1900/2100 MHz)
[Focus General] root beer:
If they only sold the focus in the UK I wouldn't buy It as compared to the Omnia it looks a cheap phone. I'd buy the Dell instead as that does look like a premium phone.

Any chance of a seperate Omnia forum? Most people won't know the Focus is the USA version of the Omnia and will miss this.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
I wouldn't think a separate forum would work. Maybe rename this one Focus/Omnia 7 so people understand they are the same. Then it would be one big community versus two smaller ones.
[Focus General] akachay:
i hope the specs are true. gsmarena said 900/2100 for 3g. love the design of omnia7

update: i think your are right http://www.omnia7.samsungmobile.com/
[Focus General] MardiG:
With the Rounded corners, the Focus will be much more pocket friendly. It should be easier on your pockets and more comfortable to carry.
[Focus General] burnblue:
But they're not the same phone.
[Focus General] ryotgz:
It was my understanding they both have the same hardware, just a different form factor.
[Focus General] manlisten:
Would the Omnia 7 work on T-Mobile US 3G?

Edit: Hmm, does not support the 1700 band so probably not.
[Focus General] TheBexFr:
No, they have not the same hardware. it seems that the Omnia 7 does not support Micro SD. So, focus may be ugly... But you, american people are lucky to have it !!!!
[Focus General] mosaiques:
How do you deal with the customs?
[Focus General] akachay:
anyone knows of a good place to order omnia 7 unlocked?
[Focus General] dominicanx:
Don't know yet. It will be my first time ordering a phone from the UK.
[Focus General] akachay:
where did you order yours? most place don't have a price nor available date.
[Focus General] mosaiques:
Hm... I know that pocketnow orders all the time devices from the UK, specially from Clove: http://www.clove.co.uk/

The Omnia 7 is available for pre-order at Clove for £499.38 (inc. vat) which is IMHO a little bit much.

I will like to know how is the deal with the customs shipping from the UK to USA.
[Focus General] evilangelic:
Here she is!

Definitely cooler than the Focus... square and lovely! So nice.

Looks Bawsss when you see it on your desk.
[Focus General] moneysaver05:
matey can you check to see if the omnia 7 has a memory card slot? also what netwrok did you get it on? Im going to be getting my HTC HD 7 delivered on monday from o2 but really want the omnia except they dont sell it!! if anyone wants to swap their omnia 7 with my HD7 when i get it i would be happy to do it! or if anyone wants to buy it of me PM me.
[Focus General] evilangelic:
moneysaver05,

100% No memory card, only space for the SIM and a battery.

It's on orange, the only network with it in stock at the moment where I am.

I was on O2 but I switched because the HD7 is... um... because I prefer the Omnia ;)
[Focus General] tictac0566:
...and I switched to HTC because Samsung is total crap.

Maybe WP7 will improve things, because you are not forced to you the worst piece of software of the century. It´s called KIES.

But then again, support and build quality are not really strengths of Samsung anymore. They are only interested in market share figures. Just read any thread in any forum about Samsung phones...

AMOLED is definitely eye candy, but not showing a natural picture. And next to this, Samsung has nothing strong.

On the long run, others will catch up and eventually surpass Samsung - but definitely not LG, another Korean crap maker.
[Focus General] evilangelic:
Unlike you I didn't say a manufacturer was crap... my last few phones have been HTC, and I loved them.

I agree with your points on Samsung, it can plainly be seen with their approach to the OTA software updates for Android (along with Sony), where HTC were putting out feature rich updates months ahead of the pack.

The reason I chose the Omnia over the HT7 was the screen.

If you want natural colours then you probably get more at wider viewing angles with the SAMOLED than the old TFT tech on the HT7 :P (it's really washed out...)

I've spent time with the Mozart, Trophy, HD7 and Omnia actual devices, and I wanted a phone which made WP7 look coolest - the 'unnatural' on-off contrast of the SAMOLED for the black interface (and Omnia hardware).

You might say it is unnatural looking but is it not displaying a more real reproduction of extreme colours?

Say if the software says it wants to display BLUE then it is a lot more blue than the HD7's poor TFT LCD.

Does it not mean that the sort of colour space or gamut or whatever needs to be adjusted to compensate for the different technology? To make the blue slightly less astonishingly bright and beautiful on the AMOLED to reflect what the software programmers thought they were getting looking at an LCD screen?

Plus for a phone I don't need a 'natural' picture on my phone, I want it to look attractive with blindingly bright contrasting colours to make me love looking at it when I click the screen on to check if I have any messages (no LED notification light... lol).

Plus, seeing as the Omnia seems to be marketed as the more expensive WP7 phone (certainly with Orange), I can always change phones for a cheaper but more solid HTC later if I have any woes! (Which I don't yet...)

Talking about KIES lol... I agree and hope that through Microsoft and Zune that hardware support is equal.

The mechanisms are in the Zune software to check for phone updates, and I hope it is down to Microsoft to fairly distribute updates and support the handsets and not Samsung...

Hopefully the updates are to the base operating system and microsoft apps (and not a whole Samsung provided FW update), I think I can accept that Samsung aren't going to provide any amazing WP7 features, hopefully we can get them from MS or 3rd party apps. (I've tried the HTC Hub and it's ridiculous to sensibly use as a source of info because of the delays caused by overly fancy animations lol).

Final reiterated point though, if this handset gets overtaken... il sell it and get a new one. I'm on this forum cos i'm a tech lover! :cool:

Obviously you can get an idea of a manufacturers philosophy and market strategy, but I'm not going to ignore other manufacturers (the Omnia here) as a good phone, if it is - which so far it is, time will tell. :)
[Focus General] ghill55:
It's true that Kies is a piece of crap, but I'll have to disagree with you on some points :

Build quality - why do you think so? If you mean Galaxy S - yeah it's plastic, but the build quality is excellent, + according to the Engadget review, Omnia 7 has better build quality than HD7.

AMOLED screens - We could argue about AMOLED being oversaturated, but there's still nothing natural about washed-out colors, bad viewing angles and glowing blacks on LCDs.

Samsung has nothing to offer - what about cameras better than others, audio quality better than others, more codec support and the best processors?
