Does anyone have problems with wi-fi here? For some reason wi-fi stop working when I connect usb.. doesnt matter what mode it is in, wi-fi always turns off. If I disconnect the cable and reboot the phone, wi-fi starts working perfectly again.

Does anyone have a clue whats going on here?? I cant really see a link between the two things.

Really need help!!

Mine:

Firmware version

2.2.1

Baseband version

T959TLJL3

Kernel version

2.6.32.9 reoriented #99

Build number

Darky and ytt3r's 7.8 Captivate Edition

The only issue I'm having is with SMS timestamp (I didn't have this issue on the stock ROM), everything else works fine (better than eclaire for sure - better battery life, signal, data speeds, gallery never crashes), got tired of waiting on Samsung for froyo)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rafsi:
thanks for the response, i switched to darky 7.8 yesterday... All is good except my battery is still terrible, i have to constantly charge my phone... also the GPS took just over 5 mins to get a fix...

data speed, I agree, has now both 3G and H...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Have you guys considered bump charging and stuff as seen here?

I'm getting tired of waiting as well and might take flash it over to Perception or a ROM that people recommend by the end of the week. GPS is a must-have, which is one reason why I've been sticking with the stock ROM.

Try Perception 10, I get great Gps performance and it is blazing fast.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] gunzblaze007:
GPS was a concern of mine too, but I can say from personal experience that the GPS on Darky's 7.8 works just as well or better than the stock 2.1

I have no regrets about flashing. By the time samsung releases 2.2 for our captivates, we'll have a fully working gingerbread ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
I just finally pulled the trigger and flashed to di11igaf's 3.0.2 ROM and it works really, really well. I did notice that the initial GPS lock took about 4 minutes but after the first lock it sped up considerably. Tried it this morning on the way to the office and it locked in under 15 seconds. Since it was a fresh flash I'm wondering if maybe the initial lock would be a cold-start so takes longer??? Not sure but after reading that's what I'm thinking.

Anyhow, I can vouch for di11i's 3.0.2 ROM and I like the theme on it as well. He's got a 4.0 version out as well but apparently GPS is not working on it yet so I'm holding off on that front.

My big challenge right now is battery life - switched to the glitterballs 12/23 version "f" kernel and it runs really, really fast and smooth but the battery life is terrible. Read some suggestions that his latest 1/3 version is much better so going to be trying that tonight. Also looking into the wi-fi firmware version as apparently the older version is easier on the juice...

If anyone else can confirm on that front it would be appreciated!

Rooting

Hey guys new to the forum and i'm having trouble routing my phone.

1. Im trying to get odin3 to do the first part of setting it back to stock firmwire. But then the next step its the guide is to master clear. I do that but says it completes but then I can still see all my items in my files. All my stuff is still there.

2. I'm trying the preception build. After i download the rom manager. I rebote in recover mode and I can find the preception zip to boot from but as soon as I try and install it. The phone stopes and says its trying to find update file. Kinda wierd. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
You say you are having problems rooting your phone. We need a little more information to help you.

1. Which guide are you following? Are you using the Odin one-click to store to stock firmware or are you trying to restore to the Rogers stock firmware using Odin? Same applies to Master Clear - how are you trying to master clear?

2. I haven't tried Perception myself but did you actually root your phone? If you aren't rooted then ROM manager and recovery mode probably aren't going to work for you to flash Perception the way it seems you are trying to flash it. Are you using a CWM flashable version of Perception? There may be a way to skip rooting if you want to flash a perception build via Odin (not sure if this is possible) directly over top of the stock ROM but if you want to use ROM Manager / CWM then, as far as I know, you need to make sure the phone is rooted properly first.

If I've made any mistakes I'm sure someone will correct me. Still learning too!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] geokilla:
Wait. If I flash it, it won't get locked to AT&T right? So i can continue to use my fido sim with no problems?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
I can't speak for Darkys ROM but I'm running Di11igaf's 3.0.2 with my Rogers SIM and it works just fine. Oh, and I did NOT do a manual unlock on my phone. My guess is Darkys will work fine but maybe someone running it or that has run it can confirm 100% for you.

SIM lock is not related to the Android OS... You can flash the ROM you want and your SIM card will work
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] k-0s2:
1. I'm following the exact guide that is pinned to the top of this forum. The how to with videos. Except that to root the phone I used 4zroot. I believe that in that guide they use the one click to store stock firmware. Same goes for masterclear. O and that I used the Perception build not cog.

2. I re tried the last steps of the process last night and then sure enough perception fired up just like it was suppose to. So now i'm running that rom on my phone. GPS is working, wifi, everything is working. I'm just worried if i'm going to have problems because the master clear didn't seem to work. I'm not sure how much that matters.

3. Now that I've got Perception running is there anything you guys can recommend that i do with it? I just like how I now have flash. And 2.2 which is pretty cool.

For Everyone Upgrading to 2.2

YOU HAVE to put the phone in DOWNLOAD MODE BEFORE you download the update or the update process will fail. (If you read the first pop-up it says how to go into download mode)

NOTE: You must use the TouchWiz launcher and set your usb settings to Kies firmware update for Kies to work properly.

Also make sure you disable your lagfix just in case.

The update is Froyo 2.2 (UXJL1) and not 2.2.1

Just when I got ready to flash to Perception.... I guess I'll flash to Rogers JL1 instead.

Hey now that JL1 is officially released, does this mean it's easier to revert to stock firmware before flashing a custom ROM? Because before, you had to use Heimdall to flash to JI2, but now that JL1 is out, it should be easy-peasy?

im currently running perception 10.1. do i have to downgrade to stock first then upgrade to the official rogers Rom? Also are there any reviews on the JL1 modem?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] loonieryan:
Probably a good idea to at least uninstall the lagfix that's included with Perception 10.1. If you can't uninstall just the lagfix then revert to the 2.1 Rogers firmware before upgrading to the 2.2 Rogers firmware.

I, on the other hand, am waiting for an ODIN image of the Rogers 2.2 release.

How to flash the Rogers Stock from Wiki Page? It is different from Odin.

Any helps?

Somehow, I managed to reflash the stock back in with AT&T logo screen. Still trying to upgrade to JL1. No success.

Can not convert to upgrade mode...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Riker2k:
jamit, the most likely reason that Kies won't detect that there is an upgrade available is because the product code on your phone has been changed while flashing another non-Rogers ROM, and is not the Rogers product code which should be SGH-I896ZKARWC. You will either have to hex edit your nv_data.bin to change the product code back to the proper Rogers product code or restore a copy of your original nv_data.bin back to your phone.

I would suggest you restore your phone to the stock Rogers 2.1 ROM before you try to fix your product code an update through Kies. Alternatively, you could wait and see if someone posts an Odin or CWM flashable version of the Rogers 2.2 ROM here and then take that route.

PM me if you have questions.

Rogers Froyo Kies Update

Just letting everyone know that I was able to update to Froyo via Kies although it was a huge pain in the @$$. Prior I had Rogers 2.1 rooted with OCLF lag fix. I tried removing the lag fix but could not get Kies to recognize my phone. Ended up going into recovery and doing a full wipe/factory reset and finally got Kies to recognize and updated my phone. Everything seems great so far. GPS locks on quickly. Flash player is great (no lag).

I've rooted my phone again and applied OCLF lag fix (same procedures as 2.1). Quadrant score is ~1800-1900. Happy to finally be on Froyo (didn't want to go to a custom rom as there seems to always be some kind of issue with every release - glad I waited).

I have my Captivate through AT&T. I decided I'd give the Rogers Froyo a try. So far I've found a few bugs but nothing too bad. It was a pain in the @$$ to root. I was able to root by flashing Supercurios stock+Voodoo-Froyo-I897-UCJJ4 Kernel, pulling the build.prop using adb, editing every entry that read "SGH-I896" to "SGH-I897". I rebooted to CWM (included in the kernel) and adb pushed the edited build.prop to /system/ . I then used the GalaxyS_One-Click_Root_All_Mod to root. Once it rebooted into CWM I selected "apply update.zip". I hope this helps those that are having issues. If needed I can post the edited build.prop here.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BoldFace:
Installed froyo through kies and it wouldn't update unless I ran it in recovery mode. Besides that everything went without a hitch, it didn't wipe my data/settings/apps which was a plus and GPS lock is quick! Since it wasn't official from Rogers I thought there would be some kind of problem(s), however everything is working great so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rye&ginger:
Its official apparently. It came from Kies, why would it not be and someone did post Rogers told them its official.

Im having issues with the internal SD card after the update.Via Windows "Error 0x80070057:The parameter is incorrect 'for files and 'The file is too large for the destination file system' when I try to make a folders. When I try to format in Windows, it shows capacity only as 2.19GB rather than 13gb or whatever it should be.

quick search shows my other models had issues with this with Froyo. I have formatted via Windows and the phone, still seems to be an issue.

Could just be the SD card failing unrelated to the update, but I have no idea. Seems I can copy to an external SD, and then copy via the phone to the internal SD. Odd.

EDIT: seems it might be this issue that 2.2 caused for the SGS Vibrant ?

For those wanting to go back to Rogers 2.1 stock, correct if me I'm wrong anyone, but I don't think there is a full restore available. How I always did it was but is unofficial, you load the stock AT&T firmware then you load the I896 over it, do no reformat partition as it requires some files from the AT&T firmware you loaded before.

GPS will not work most likely after this, all you do is factory reset phone and it should start working. I would post links to the exact threads but I think you should be able to get them from the I897/I896 phone detail/info page.
