Thanks guys. Looks like I'll have an excellent time with my Captivate.

It's nice to hear that no one's Captivates died on them yet. It has me worried, but at the same time I think the whole thing was blown out of proportion.
[Captivate General] tomcase7:
Hey,

I bought my Captivate from Rogers on Sept 25 (I believe it was the launch date) in Ottawa, ON. I tried out the stock firmware and everything worked swimmingly. I had great GPS locks, the phone was quick enough for anything I did, and did everything it was supposed to. As long as I was mindful of how bright my screen was and whether GPS/WIFI/Syncing was toggled, I was able to push my phone reasonably into the second day without charging it.

Since the first few days, I've been loading Cognition software (currently 2.4) onto my phone. Not because the stock firmware was horrible or anything, I'm just an obsessive tinkerer who needs the absolute best performance and reliability out of his phone. Unlike many of the AT&Ts out there, I didn't break my GPS after loading cognition. My phone is lightning quick, whether it is picking up a GPS satellite lock or playing my music through the auxiliary input in my car. The battery lasts just as long as it ever did, maybe even longer. Again, Cognition isn't a miracle battery cure, and you still have to be mindful of any running apps in the background or if any of the GPS/WiFi/Syncing is toggled to really max out your battery life. Alternatively, you could get an app like locale which automates things like that for you.

If you're looking to buy a version of the Samsung Galaxy S, I really can't think of a better version to buy than the Rogers one. I haven't had ANY troubles with it and it seems to have the least amount of problems between the ones released in Canada and the US. I may be wrong on that, since my researched focused mostly on the Captivate, but perhaps someone could verify what I just said.

I'd go for it,

Tom
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
The phones pretty damn fantastic, I just wish Samsung would drop Touchwiz and release vanilla Android. Seriously, no one likes it, and everyone likes new versions of Android.
[Captivate General] TheEscapist:
DOUBLE POST! (Sorry guys, not sure if it's an issue here, I know on some forums it is)

To answer your question, yes you can. Personally, i've had issues with data not working and OCLF + stock is more than fast enough for me, after I got rid of TwLauncher. One thing to note though, is that you will have a permanent ATT screen before the "I896" screen, so if that bugs you, stay away.
[Captivate General] geokilla:
I picked up the Captivate last night and loving it a lot. However I am having a few problems with it that I dunno how to solve yet. One of em is the poor battery life, and another is texting. I'm not gonna repost it here. If I have to, I'll make another thread.

Thanks for the feedback guys!
[Captivate General] fluidd:
This is all very good news. I had the Samsung Vibrant (Bell) version before and never really ran into big problems other than some freezes, but let go of it because my buddy's internal SD died, so that phobia caused me to get the Captivate, since they are all the same internals..

Mine is coming in the mail from retentions.. Lets hope i'm not disappointed. Already got a case from SGP lined up and on its way, also the 2 battery + battery charger combo. Already know what to expect.. Surprised that the GPS is fixed!.. I will be sure to check when I receive my unit tomorrow.

Has everyone checked it with the actual GPS receiver turned on? Because, I know that the "wireless networks" gps box always works. But what if it is unchecked, and only the GPS box is on, does it still work then?
[Captivate General] fluidd:
I would also like to know if someone can please confirm whether the roms for the ATT captivate (i-897) are still compatible with the Rogers Captivate (i-896), just incase I want to flash a rom in the future.

Also, if the OCLF is safe to install? Or do we have to wait for one specially made for the Rogers Captivate?

Hi will this work on the captivate?

http://m.pocketnow.com/android/how-to-get-wifi-calling-on-your-t-mobile-nexus-one

Assuming you start at step 7 skipping the cyanogen mod flashing.

And yes I am using a Captivate on T-mobile. My data plan does not allow for the usage of T-mobile branded Android phones.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cappysw10:
Really? :facepalm:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
What's wrong with those instructions? It seems as though it just adds certain functions to the kernel for the app too call on.

Sorry I am just trying to figure out how to get this working because I am in a no reception areas for about 5-7 hours a day. This would really help allow me to get service and possibly save on battery life so that the phone isn't searching for a signal constantly.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] curti.nogg:
There are some people who use the Captivate on T-Mobile. A few people have asked if it's possible to still add this feature in the Cognition thread and I have not seen an answer yet.

To answer the OP I'm not sure if it would be as simple as that since you're also flashing a kernel.

Sent from my Captivate
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
Has anyone tried?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
if you read the instructions, you clearly need a modified kernel.

we don't have a kernel source to modify. on top of that, for the people who *can't* use it, it would just be a source of potential trouble. if you're on t-mobile and want to use t-mobile features, I suggest buying a t-mobile phone.

until we get sources, we likely won't see this on captivate kernel (as for a vibrant kernel, it's possible, but that has it's own source of issues)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] designgears:
Hey, come to the cognition IRC... I have some stuff you can test, I can open the app and such, but I am not on tmobile, so no way to test it beyond that.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
Yeah when I get out of class ill gladly test out some stuff for wifi calling. Ill also have to figure out how to use Irc again. Any helpful guides? Wont be out of class until another 3 hours.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
As an update, me and designgears tried several different combinations to try this out. So far I flashed a full Vibrant rom onto my Captivate and got the Wifi Calling to work. The keys were a switched because of the Vibrant Kernel but it was definitely working. Now if only we can port this feature over to the Captivate roms.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] justlovejoy:
are you serious about this? what other quality benifits are there from flashing the full vibrant rom? i'm using simplemobile which is a sister network to tmobile. If you can post a link to it with instructions on how to install it I would be glad to experiment with you!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] johnny13oi:
I literally just flashed one of the custom Vibrant roms in the Vibrant section using Clockwork and it worked just fine. Just some of the buttons were misassigned due to it running a Vibrant kernel.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] slvr00gt:
Did anybody ever got wi-fi calling to work on unlocked captivate on T-mobile network?

Flashing vibrant ROM sounds interesting, but I would prefer to keep captivate rom on captivate.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shabazz18:
I wonder if any roms have implemented this yet. I've been looking but found nothing. It would be a great feature. And to all you smart asses that keep saying "get a vibrant," I'll gladly swap your vibrant for my captivate. No? Well this is the phone I have and that's what I'm modding. So keep it to yourself.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] YoungGun821:

In my country, we have the similar problem, we dont know who has the rom, as far as we know is the tow videos released on the internet show us that our HD2 can really run the WP7. the individuals there are still waiting for the news, be patient, if there's any news of wp7 ON HD2 from xda.cn, i will notice you guys.

ok?

:p
[HD2 General] Rouz.:
thanks woion0415, this is much appreciated :)
[HD2 General] jdlorinser:
Thanks alot woion0415. Now go and find that ROM for us!! :D
[HD2 General] TacoLoco:
Ok good to know, but why they don't share with us? I think atm they don't share with anyone, as there is no download at xda.cn.. No one says Russian don't share with us, only because Cotulla didn't release MagLdr to public yet so I don't think it would be helpful to post such offensive threads..
[HD2 General] zarathustrax:
I don't think there is a flashable rom. I heard that they just have one of the test hd2s Microsoft flashed to developed wp7. Someone else said that the hd2 was flashed with wp7 with a jtag flasher, so if either of those are the case, which I'm beginning to suspect, there is no rom and may not be for a while. I would think that if there was a rom, somebody would've gotten whole of it or atleast know something about it.
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Please do not let the fellow who wrote the derogatory post bother anyone. Even if he was joking, his way of thought is not indicative of the quality of people on XDA-Developers. Best thing to do is just ignore ignorant posts.

With that said, it will be fun watching to see who now comes up first with a working Windows Phone 7 ROM. Now that is what I would call healthy national competition!
[HD2 General] woion0415:
thanks for the understanding

i must confess that i am not surf the net often, and i will not always focus in this title, but when i know any news from XDA.cn, i will come and tell the news. not for the few people who wrote derogatory post but the big family.
[HD2 General] tiratira:
yah none of us users have a flashable rom, while we should be patient and wait.

and, thx to cottula&other developers who made it possible to run wp7 on hd2
[HD2 General] Pierce Zhang:
by now, no flashable WP7 on HD2 rom released from xda.cn.....

i think there must be some reasons for them decide to do so.

the guys on xda.cn are also waiting for this.
[HD2 General] sureke:
I'm from chinese,as we konws,all of chinese are waiting for the rom.....

Thank for all of your informations, it's good to see people who can help us to anderstand.

In my opinion it's a global waiting ;)
[HD2 General] luciferyu:
the video of wp7 run on hd2 come from a businessman ，as we can know from the sound in the video 。the day when the rom will release is hard to know
[HD2 General] radiance26:
You say before it was meizu, but why, what interest for them to do that ?
[HD2 General] vasilisxxx:
fake

its fake !!! if you see the video look at the app is from 6.5wm , its just a shell no wp7 , we must wait cotulla
[HD2 General] radiance26:
I'm tired to read everywhere wait cotulla.

Yes he's doing an amazing work, but I want imagine that he is not the only one who can do everything that.

Thank you for posting a bad image of us at their site (xda.cn) Now even there is a thread talking about the foreigner who went to the chinese website and registered but he didn't find what he was looking for, thus he called them fake and selfish ... you are now the talk of the chinese :D .. So they said that others think chinese aren't communist !! and they hated us .. you can see wonderful posts about us in this thread : bbs.xda.cn/thread-96523-3-1.html enjoy your journy.

A Little note,

when you want to express some feelings, try to make them individual and not to contain others with your thoughts ;)

And btw neither us nor them have a flashable ROM, they are just like us, waiting anxiously for the release !
[HD2 General] TacoLoco:
Please stop posting comments that it is fake, unless you can prove it.. This is only confusing to people.. For me this is like when cotulla posted a video of WP7 booting, I looked every day after it until I realized that it wouldn't come in near future.. Now we don't even know if it (chinese ROM) is for real, so calm down it's done when it's done..
[HD2 General] rlydiard:
Maturity

Come on guys, many of the postings in this thread are comments that are not even worthy of a juvenile. If you think something is fake, then prove it. And, don't start the silly game of he did this, they did not do that, and they are saying this about that. Are you a bunch of oldsters in a home gossiping away your final days? The guy who wrote the post in question was already chastised enough, and the purpose of the thread explaining why no ROM from China can as of now be shared has been accomplished, along with promises from China of sharing if a ROM is developed in China.

Aren't we suppose to be about sharing technology and knowledge, not gossiping our withering days away?
[HD2 General] mwang:
ONLY DFT had rom and DFT always share the newest build now WP7 HD2 ROM will coming soon , we will release new video in this few days

I can't figure out how to refresh IMAP folders in the mail client. I created a new folder in my desktop mail client. I actually want to do a subfolder too. But I refreshed on my phone and no new folder. Go to accounts and refreshing is no dice too. Force-quitting the email app and reloading in/refreshing doesn't work either. I haven't found any advice on the web either, except that HTC Sense does it better.

Anyone figured out a way to refresh your IMAP folders?
[Epic 4G General] fooo1:
I found that after trying for 20 minutes, then installing K9 (which failed for exchange support), I came back to the default mail client and it had refreshed, with the sub folder working even.

I guess it decides to refresh on "it's own damn schedule".

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3MPH1S:
Well I've had my Captivate for 3 months, and up until now it's been smooth sailing. Two days ago I came home and my power was off, and when it came back on I tried connecting to my router like usual, but now it won't connect. On the "wifi settings" menu it just says "obtaining ip address from..." for a few seconds then it says "disconnected" and goes back into "scanning..." mode. Also, under the "wifi networks" section it shows my network as "Disabled, secured with WPA/WPA2 PSK". (I am using a Linksys WRT54G with WPA2 security f.y.i.)

I've tried "forgetting" the network, I've deleted the whole file that remembers your networks, I've tried connecting via WPS button, I've double checked my password, I've power cycled my router, I've reset my router back to default and re-configured it...still nothing. It connects to the wifi on campus with no problems (in 4 different buildings), so obviously there is something wrong with my router setup.

If anyone has any advice on how to resolve this problem, it would be much appreciated!

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] diablo009:
Happened to me a few times. Only way I could get out of this was to restore to a previous backup, or install fresh again. By the way, I experienced this problem only on 2.2. Never happened on 2.1.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Joav:
Elaborating on the issue

I've encounter exactly the same problem described here.

Samsung Galaxy S I9000. Froyo (official version). Not rooted.

Now it is the first time it has happened, and still I have not found a solution (restarted the router, restarted the phone and made more tests).

Before the upgrade to Froyo it has never happened. After the upgrade it worked ok for several days untill now.

Several other deviced at home are well connected to the router.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ExMM:
Its just s stupid suggestion maybe... but have you tried to change channels with your router?

Sometimes is just a stupid channel issue....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] DigitalEagle:
I found out the answer to this problem. I had to connect using static addressing. It seems at some point, the captivate 2.2 roms get confused for some of us and it starts trying to assign an IP address already used.

In my case, I tried everything... rebooting phone, router, ect.

Laptop connects fine, Wii connects fine...

But, I decided to connect via static addressing... BAM connected perfectly and instantly.

Connecting to other DHCP networks seems to be hit and miss as well.

So, I'd suggest reflashing might be the overall fix. But if you're like me and cannot reflash right away, try static addressing till you can get around to it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3MPH1S:
Not stupid at all, but unfortunately yes, I tried a couple different channels and still nothing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] M3MPH1S:
Awesome! This sounds like a promising solution, thanks. Yeah I need to reflash soon anyway seeing as how Cognition is up to 2.4.x already...

Probably won't be tonight, but I will do this soon and let you know my results.

Alright, I have typed just about every keyword into google relating to setting up my router/phone to use a static IP and for some amazing reason there are ZERO results that have any information whatsoever about setting up a static ip on a phone. This is really frustrating, so if anyone would be kind enough to explain how to do this or link me somewhere that does, that would be awesome
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] 0utkast:
go to your wi-fi settings and click the menu button.

it should pop with a "scan" and "advance"

click on advance and scroll down to "use static ip address"

then i guess you have to put in your network details, not sure on the details there cause i have done it but experiencing same problem with my galaxy s

power went out and now can't connect to my network

Edit : Possible fix

I just managed to connect to my network.

I put the device in flight mode and restarted my modem at the same time

put it out flight mode and pluged in the modem again and now works.

This is probably just for me, but this isn't a viable solution.

The ONLY router I seem to have this issue with is the one that Verizon gives all it's FiOs customers. It's the Actiontec M1424WR Router/Modem. I know my WEP key is correct because it works just fine on all the laptops and other phones (a Palm Pre and another Captivate on 2.1). It tries to obtain an IP address for about 5 minutes and then just sits and says disabled. Does anyone know if there's a way to dump the DNS cache or whatever like you can on Windows?

And the "funny" thing is that my router doesn't have an Static IP option, it's a simpler router from the cable provider.

So i'm trying also to find a solution to this. Two days ago i changed the wifi channel and it worked. But today i have again the same problem and changing the channel don't work anymore.

Each time i find a possible solution, it only works one time.
