[Vibrant General] ram130:
Short answer.. YES it will...suggestions: use google voice for your calls/voicemails, this will ensure that you know of missed calls even if your phone is off..The way mine is setup. If you call me and my cell is off, the call is forwarded to Google Voice which rings my landline or goto voicemail..I have an option in the settings set to alert me of missed calls.
[Vibrant General] clivo360:
In addition to being more accurate in showing the right amount of bars, JI6 did slightly increase my signal strength. A few places where I was unable to place a call, it will easily hold onto a bar or two. Big upgrade if you ask me.
[Vibrant General] azsamsancho:
Guys, thank you very much for the advice! I upgrade my phone to JI6 and have noticed slight improvement. I am seeing 1-2 bars now at home and i am able to place a call ..Still testing if calls continue to drop.

ram130,

THANK YOU for this suggestion!!! Did not even think about it but that is exactly what i need!! It will suffice and make my overall service more reliable and I will be informed about voicemails. This is phenomenal. Now I think I can keep my phone :) thanks to your help guys!!
[Vibrant General] tecjunkie:
I hate to bring back the dead but I just recently got my vibrant and I am having some of the same issues.

I keep my phone in my pants pocket and when I go to the back of the store I almost always lose service. I never had this problem with my TP2. Will this JI6 fix reception or is it just a gps fix? How can I check to see if I have this? I did do a update when I received the phone so I am thinking I might have it already.
[Vibrant General] ZX3ZX4:
tecjunkie-

JI6 is more than just a GPS fix;it also adds a Media Hub and Task Manager app, and I believe there are a few software tweaks. However, I'm not sure that Samsung ever revealed all the things it was designed to do, and I don't remember hearing anything about a reception fix, but I'd say, install it and see....
[Vibrant General] mrxela:
It did improve my signal level.
[Vibrant General] tecjunkie:
Thanks for your replies.

I am afraid if the JI6 is the update that included the media hub functionality and task manager I do have that update.

Now I am at a lost. Do you think the weak signal strength is because it isn't hspda? My TP2 showed a H and like I said I never had a problem at work with it. Every time I walk in the back and send a text it says failed. When I am in the front near the windows(retail store) it works fine.
[Vibrant General] s15274n:
To the OP:

Perhaps you should upgrade to the leaked froyo. I say this for 2 reasons.

1 - it has wifi calling. You can use your homes wifi instead of the network.

2 - you can upgrade to the JK6 modem which has shown many a much better signal.

I have steps in my signature for option 1. Option 2 is at the top of the development section. I just flash JK6 and my up/download speeds doubled.
[Vibrant General] heygrl:
JK6 has excellent data throughput.

The new Motorola DEFY however has EXCELLENT reception. at least -5dBm better than my Vibrant.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordiharrison:
About 4 weeks ago I installed JPH on my Bell i9000 with a lag fix. It randomly froze while I was looking at it, I wasnt even interacting with it. Pulled the battery, booted passed the Galaxy S screen but stuck on black. Recovery had nothing to say, so I re-flashed a firmware on it, and then recovery would say: E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1. I imagine this is due to the Lagfix changing the filesystem format, and then flashing a stock RFS rom ontop, but I had absolutely no choice. After a couple days of trying to fix it, I surrendered and sent it off to Bell for repair. Got it back almost 2 weeks later, they had to replace the board.

Now flash-forward to right now.

THE SAME GOD DAMN THING HAPPENED (except this time I almost flung myself off my balcony).

Substitute JPH with JPM. Rinse & Repeat.

I haven't sent it off to Bell yet...again..But I have a feeling I will have too.

Question 1: Any clue as to why these lag-fixed 2.2 builds randomly froze and were rendered unable to boot?

Question 2: I see these "unable to mount" threads popping up but with no success stories. Is there any way to fix this on my own? I remember searching up an article with a dude explaining how to format partitions by pushing tools to the phone via ADB but I never was able to get 'er done.

Thanks for reading my tragic novel :)

...urge to kill...RISING...
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1chung:
i have had absolutely no luck with the froyo roms on my bell sgs. first time (jpk) around i got the can't mount error (device busy), but somehow fluked saving it by just reflashing back to eclair. second time (jpm) i got massive data corruption (file names "*^@)#$") and eventually lost all my data and had to reflash back to eclair.

i'm not too sure what's going on, but i suspect the international/european froyo's are incompatible with the bell sgs. from what i've read, the captivate users are running the jh2 firmware (same as us?) so i might try again with tayutama's captivate firmware.

to answer your question though, i believe there is hope if it just says "device busy" and not "device not found". keep trying to reflash if it's "device busy" and use jh2. seemed to work for me and my buddy's phone.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Jordiharrison:
Thanks for the info!

Ya...adb says device not found....Deja vu..

Adb does see it while in Recovery though.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] wang1chung:
well, while searching, i have found people saying not to flash any captivate roms as the bell sgs is closer to the international version than the US captive version.

might have to wait for a bell specific firmware then since i know the international ones don't work well.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kraiko68:
It Happened to me and I had no lagfix installed. The phone was not even rooted.

It happened to me twice. The first time was about two weeks of getting it (not rooted, no lag fix). Bell just replaced it with a brand new one.

It happened again about two or three weeks later (no lag fix). Knowing my way around linux & embedded systems, I could confirm that the kernel was not able to mount the partitions on the internal flash (mmcblk0) and they even seemed to have disappeared. I was getting the same message "E: can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1". I think it's a more fundamental issue and that the internal SDcard gets permanently corrupted.

They sent the second one for repair and after three weeks of pain & frustration with the Blackberry Bold they lent me, they sent me a replacement (probably refurbished!).

Sorry, but I think you will have to send it back!
[Droid X General] axemanmike:
Any news on the hdmi video out feature? Also why cant we use the 3.5mm plug ? will we be able to after roms are availible?
[Droid X General] bennero:
Check "real HDMI" in the market.

Allows use of HDMI out, just not dual display as I believe the processor is not capable.
[Android Software Development] infiltwb:
Is there something I forgot to do beyond the instructions in the dev resources for installation on the android sdk site?

I went through a couple of the test projects to get a feel for it, and keep getting execution fc's in the emulator, exported everything to my laptop(vista 32bit) and no problems.

Have reinstalled the sdk, eclipse and java on my desktop machine but no help. Any thoughts?

Weird question, but have you set the SDK version when you created the project? Happends when you are in a hurry! :rolleyes:

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
You got cognition on your phone, so you must have visited the developer forum...

Have you even tried to find the answer on your own? I know you are asking for help, but didn't you look up "how to restore to stock" before you started? What if there is no way - like on some other phones? Why would you do a major mod, without looking up how to go back before you even started?

Try the first post in the developer section - the stickied one - the captivate bible.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] S4NDM4NN:
Look for odin one click to down grade. I believe there is a thread dedicated to it. I've noticed some off things in the market but nothing worth downgrading for.

Alphadog I know it can be downgraded but I could not find the post that says how it can be done thats why I asked
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
I must agree with what Alphadog said. You did not even bother to search. If you did there's absolutely no reason why this thread would be here. It's on the first page of the Android Development Section of these forums. You can't fricking miss it. But because you did, here's the link. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=731989

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewart2568:
You can't be banned from a site like this, if so you just open up another user name and email....come on guys you must be new, but just for you i will delete it, i just hate when a new person gets on here and is treated like dirt. The guy asked a simple question...just answer "yes or no" thats it no need for the "extra advise" especially if you can't be nice about it. Besides how do you know the guy never bothered to search...thats an assumption on your part and when you assume you just...well you know. Don't assume just answer the question without being a jerk about it. A smart comment can be hidden behind what was suppose to be "friendly advise" and it's plain to see that this alpha dog was being smart assuming that the guy had not done his homework before making changes to his phone. At the end of the day...this release was not a good release, as we can see a lot of members on this site are having problems with their phones now. This is phone hacking using an leaked aka stolen version of froyo 2.2 that was patched together. We all took a chance and downloaded it at our own risk and now some members are paying for it because that's what happens when you accept stolen merchandise sometimes there are consequenses. Once you download this version of froyo the android market does not recognize the new version of the firmware and so a lot of apps are no longer available for you on the market unless you uninstall it put your phone back to eclair 2.1 and then try to access the market to find you missing apps. Now there is an Official version of froyo that is going to be released and anyone who downloaded the leaked aka stolen version will not and i repeat will not get the ota update from att this has been stated because the att server no longer recognizes your phones firmware version. Once again you will have to use your USB cable and pray that the "iffy" samsung keis application will see your phones stolen firmware and allow you to update to the leagle version of froyo 2.2 that should be a lot more stable then the the leaked...aka stolen version that everyone fell for.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dave the Knave:
These things are always "install at your own risk". If you screw it up, be prepared to figure out how to fix it. What Alphadog was trying to get at, is that if you just search, heck you don't even need to do that as all the answers are on the first page of the Dev subforum, you can figure out how to do it. He's also right in saying people need to do their homework before they mod their phone. You NEED a plan. You need to know how to be able to start anew should something get borked or you need to return it or something else.

It is irritating lately that these forums have been getting filled with really nooby questions like how to assign a picture to a contact. If everyone would spend some time using the phone or using google or searching the forums, the answer would be blatantly obvious. I think for the most part we're all just fed up with these questions, but instead of "being smart assed" about it and flaming, we just need to ignore the thread and let someone else deal with it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stewart2568:
That is true...or people who tend to be arogant in their thinking and looking down on folks who are not able to figure it out should use another forum. Thats all im trying to say. Heck what is the forum here for if not to help people. Check this out...I work in the mortgage forclosure industry..thats what i do im the guy that will put your home on the auction block if you can't pay for it for any reason. Poeple call me all the time all day long because they didn't read through their loan note before settlement or they were not informed during the settlement process as to what would happen if they didn't pay their mortgage. I don't get rude with them, i try to assist them because i have knowlege that could help them, imformation that they don't have. I don't want to see them get put out so i try to assist them by pointing them in the right direction over and over again no matter how often they call asking the same question.

My point? This is unchartered territory for some people, some of them don't even know how to use a forum...i wasn't born knowing how to write blog or use a forum. I had to ask questions sometimes over and over again. I had to research as well. But come on man these are 200.00 phones and for some folks thats a lot of money. If they mess up their phone ATT won't help them at all. Not to mention, unless you can get that samsung kies working on your computer your "might" be stuck with the stolen version of froyo 2.2 which as you can see is very very glitchy for some people.

Yes the sight says to mod at your own risk...but how can you dangle candy in someone face like that and expect them not to take the risk. Besides can you imagine what this country would be like if we had informed shoppers who did their homework before the shopped...this economy would be worse off then what it is, because people would think before they shopped or played around with their 200.00 smart phone taking a risk on damaging it for good.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] alphadog00:
If you want to spoon feed the entire world, that is your choice.

But defending people for their lack of judgment and research makes you look equally ignorant.

The point, at the beginning of this thread, is that if people just bothered TO TRY, they would find answers. Or just read the first post of a mod thread. I would think the words "this could brick your phone" would mean something. But no, most people are so used to bailouts and handouts that they don't stop to learn. I pointed the OP in the right direction - the information is there if he/she looked.

Oh, and if we had informed shoppers - we wouldn't have the mortgage mess we have now. People blame the banks, but it is idiot consumers that buy more then they can afford, get zero down loans, balloon loans, and hope their house goes up in value so they can refinance later.

The idea that more informed shoppers would make the economy worse is comical.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mcord11758:

Since I moved from Windows Mobile I've been looking for a USB Webcam app.

I've recently found it and wanted to share the info.

Check for "USB Webcam" on the Market and Placaware for the desktop drivers.

USB debugging must be on for the driver to work.

It's working for videos in Skype (but not for audio).

Too bad the developer is shutting down this project. Maybe some developer will find it interesting and take over the development.

hummm... I'm more in line with titooo... I believe usb reading can be better Hatenl...

I've got my copy from the Market. Does the apk gets stored somewhere so that I can copy it for you?

In the meantime, have you tried to post a message to the developer. I think he even mentions to so if you can't get the sw on the Market.

If you update OTA you will lose root. If you wish to keep your root then you need to flash a rooted ROM.

DeOdex roms let you flash themes, other customizations

DeOdex 3.29

Odex roms are basically as close to the stock rom as possible (just rooted)

Odex 3.29

Or you can flash Fresh, Baked Snack or any number of roms in the Development section...
