Not true. My phone doesn't have the three button access, but I can access it by holding the buttons and plugging in the USB cable.

Try it. You may be pleasantly surprised.

EDIT: or don't try it since you've already fixed it. lol
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] PizzaAmerican23:
Please read above post.

Some phones CANNOT access download mode by using ANY button combo. The method you described is how my old phone would go into download mode, this one does not go into download mode.

"This combo works for me" might be the second most annoying post behind "GPS works for ME!!!"

Both are actual issues, just because yours works doesn't mean everyone else's will too.

Hi, I am a recently registered user but a longtime "lurker" on the Opal section of xda.

I've bought my girlfriend an opal, roughly a year ago, and in three months or so she started complaining about some issues of the phone:

- From time to time she cannot send me SMSs, she just keep receiving the "cannot send sms" error

When this happens, she usually:

- Cannot establish an outgoing call, and more important,

- She cannot even receive any incoming call despite the mobile being connected to the network, and free, so that the caller just get a "no answer" while she doesn't even have neither a missed call report nor any ringtone deployed.

- Receive incoming SMSs

I've already tried to solve the problem in various different ways, including(of course) looking for help in existing threads, flashing a new rom on the phone resetting more than once.

I'm just stuck on a dead point, as of now.

Do you have an idea on how to solve such issues?

The only "fix" we found was to activate airplane mode then deactivate it to restart the network connection.

I think it is something related to the radio part of the OS but i couldn't find different radios to flash on.

Thanks in advance!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] wbadry:
Hi Paperboy,

your problem is contained into 2 possibilities:

Your Network Setting (the SMS provider number)

Your OS (most propable)

I guess the best remedy is to use the official ROM (WM 6.1 Professional). You may have used unstable ROMs that caused such a mess.

Unfortunately, I merely found the Arabic ROM (It can be changed to English from (Settings>> Multilanguage Support).

WM 6.1 Arabic ROM

Hope it helps somehow.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] DaPaperboy:
Actually, I think it's neither of two.

I checked more than once the provider settings, including the sms service center. Actually if it is not correct, she'd never be able to send messages, while the "hangs" are just...random.

On the os side, i think it's not a matter of roms, mainly because i flashed as a consequence of months of frustration with the original rom.

Any other ideas?

btw, thanks for your advice!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Mr Ducks:
it happens to me sometimes, when a message will just not go. i think its network/radio related, but it happens to me very less. i havent seen any radio's either.

sorry, i know, i could not help...:confused:
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] DaPaperboy:
At least I'm not alone! Let's hope the gurus have a solution!
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] karthiksk:
Hey there. I cant help but laugh, I had the exact same problem when i first got my phone and I used to think its a problem with the network but it isn't, if you haven't changed the stock OS/ROM, thats your issue, Flash an new ROM and it should resolve your problem.

(I recommend the pajerm RC3 ROM)

(Take care to backup all data, use outlook to backup all your contacts and stuff).

If that doesn't resolve your problem, post back. Best o' luck.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] DaPaperboy:
Actually I flashed that exact ROM, still experiencing issues, though.
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] karthiksk:
Okay this issue is rather different, What is certain is that the issue is not on the software side. Either your phone is konk or its the service, check the same SIM on a different phone, see if you face the same issue, if you do then its your network (which I know You said is unlikely, but no harm in making sure right?) If on the other hand, the phone works perfectly fine, then you have a problem with your phone's hardware in which case you need to get it check and probably serviced, worst case, get the handset replaced (if its under warranty).

Best o' luck
[Touch Viva, MDA Basic General] Shreyas Jani:
Try THIS ROM and report...Has a variety of apps as add on...Hope it works for you.:)

Issue Not Solved, but figured out

The HTC opal is sort of incompatible with certain carriers around the world, and this issue does not apply to all opals, only some of them have an issue. For example my phone has this issue with Airtel in my country. The phone seems to work fine with every other carrier. I think I might have to change my damn network again!

Can someone tell me how to put back the stock notification bar back on my phone using metamorph I'm currently have the blue android on my notification bar and I want the stock one. Please step buy step for me I'm a noon.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
You're asking for the stock notification bar? Like when you first turned on the phone? Can you post a snapshot of what you have now? Also what rom you're on? I can probably get a north up here for ya.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
Stock rom. I will try to put up a pic. For now its the notification pull down bar where you pull down and its the same as the stock bar but with a blue android at the bottom.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] willsnews:
This has nothing to do with your post but I use the clear bar and it's awesome are you trading in your phone or something if not you should try clear bar

Still flashing
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
Here it is I want to go back to the stock pull down bar
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] down8:
That's not stock - there was no little blue android on the original pull-down.

-bZj
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
Yeah, he was showing a picture of what he had. He wants the stock one back.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
I gotta run out for a few, but i'll have this up when i get back (if someone else doent first). Do you have the morph you used to get the android guy there, or do you know where i can grab it from? That way i can just revert all the files that change in twframework-res and zip it back up.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
If you want it to go back to stock you could download whichever rom you are on (either JFD or JI6 by the looks of it, extract the framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk from the system/framework folder and use root explorer to copy them to your system/framework then reboot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] wildklymr:
Yeah I was gonna make a MM to change the status_bar_background.9.png in twframework-res.apk, but then I noticed the text in the dropdown is white too. Normal is I believe gray. I think that's in one of the layout xml files in framework-res.apk but I'm not sure. Thats why I just suggested to copy over the original framework-res.apk and twframework-res.apk
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
You can try this out. I just changed theb "status_bar_close_on" in twframework-res. I dont know if it will get rid of the android guy, tho. Let me know. If it doesnt work, the original morph would be very helpful.

This is for MetaMorrph!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
it did not work still the same. But thank you anyway
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
OK so I applied the black pull down that I've used before then I tried the stock zip again thinking that might work but the only thing that changed was the bottom tap is now gray instead of black as you can see in the pic.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Try this one out. I think I reverted everything back.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
The new zip worked thank you but now my notification bar is still black from the black theme that I had and I thought that I had the stock notification bar but I don't can you also post that for me if you can.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Try it again. I updated it to include framework-res. tried to edit the post quickly, but you might have downloaded the original. In metamorph it should have 2 filess (framework-res and twframewrok-res) Hit apply all. Reboot.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
OK its almost there the only thing us now I still have the black icons in my notification bar. Also the text in the pull down is all white. I think its supposed to be black not sure. Again thank you for your help
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] mentalex2:
Ok. I can fix the rest tomorrow after work. Almost there!
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
thank you and no rush.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Wow.. Kinda hurts my feelings that you have been working this hard to remove my lil android guy...

Well actually its hackus image..

But next time if you back up using ninja morph you won't have this hassle..

Open ninjamorph

Click new project

Choose the app you want to backup

(inside either system/app or system/framework)

Then when/if you want to revert..

Open ninja

choose finish project and chose the app..

Reboot

Enjoy
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] spacecasespiff:
Its not that I want to remove him its just that I like to know I can go back to stock when I want to and I don't know enough about how to use ninjamorph. But I learn something new from you guys every day. You Guy rock.
[Vibrant Themes and Apps] junkdruggler:
Well ninjamorph pulls the apk and allows you to replace parts at a time.. It can be used as a great backup tool.. If you use ninjamorph to pull before you use metamorph then you can use it to push back the old files when you want...

Just follow the instructions I posted..

[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
I wanted to buy a spare battery for my Captivate. I went to ebay an found many OEM Batteries sold at a cheaper price compared to the one sold on Samsung shop.

Are there any difference in quality between these OEM and Original batteries?

Please help me out. Thank you!
[Captivate Accessories] diablo009:
correct me if i am wrong, but don't OEM and original both mean the same?
[Captivate Accessories] Sqdnguns:
Yes..............
[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
Oh my, this question made me sound stupid. Thank you for clearing up my ignorance. Haha...
[Captivate Accessories] alphadog00:
Keep in mind, that even though the eBay batteries say "OEM" - it has been shown that they are not original samsung batteries. These Hong Kong sellers list everything as OEM - usually they say "an OEM battery manufacuter" - implying that the batteries are made by "somebody" that makes original equipment for some manufacturer.

I don't want to scare you; for $3 apiece the batteries work well, but many have been reporting occasional reboots or batteries that only charge to 80%. Even the ones that say Samsung are usually knockoffs.
[Captivate Accessories] double RL:
I bought one of the Samsung batteries from Ebay. I was not sure if it was a knockoff that looked real or not and really still don't. It does outlast my original battery though. Neither are great but for whatever reason I get better performance out of the Ebay one. It is dated July 12, 2010 and the one that came in my phone is dated Nov 10, 2010. I crush them both daily as I stay on the phone and internet a lot. I'm ordering another one.
[Captivate Accessories] seriouslyjeff:
Nifty idea

Do this. I went to ebay and typed in "Samsung Captivate battery charger". For only $8(including shipping) I got a wall charger for my samsungs batteries AND TWO batteries! They came from Hong Kong but both after-market batteries last as long or longer than the stock battery. That and I haven't plugged my phone into the wall since the end of August. I have a battery in the wall charger while I'm not using it and when the one in my phone is about to die I simply change the batteries and put the dead one on the charger. I keep the third fully charged and in my car. It makes life sooooo much easier and I never have to worry about a dead phone no matter how much I use it which is a lot! I have done the same for my Nexus One and totally recommended this to anyone, heavy user or not. Lets see you do THAT iPhone!
[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
Sounds like a good recommendation.

Can you do me a favor and post the exact item on ebay you have bought?

There are too many of them. :D Thanks.

[Captivate Accessories] JayinToronto:
I'd appreciate hearing as well. So far he's only sold 36. Most of the few complaints have to do with non-receipt.
[Captivate Accessories] pachukomendez:
I ended up getting the desktop charger and it comes with another battery from Samsung its 49.99 and i used a coupon code "mobile10" gave me 7.50 off of the final price. I used to get ebay batteries for my nokia and they would all discharge Outta the blue like i had 80% then just shut off and when I would turn back on their say 5% or so.
[Captivate Accessories] redjersey:
may I ask where you bought this please?
[Captivate Accessories] MaxRabbit:
I'll let you know.
[Captivate Accessories] nissy86:
Yeah, it is not the original battery. It's a generic one. I hope this works well as the original ones. I heard complaints (from AMAZON.com) about that certain generic batteries that can't charge from the phone; can be only charged using the provided charger.

I hope this is not the case. I really need a spare battery with an external charger. :(
[Captivate Accessories] pachukomendez:
From the samsung.com website its listed on the accessories for the captivate.
[Captivate Accessories] halfbrainhunter9000:
What rom are you using? I'm constantly online/tethering as well as listening to music and I get a minimum of 12 hours out of my battery with Cognition
[Captivate Accessories] MaxRabbit:
I just got in the two batteries! I really like it so far :) but too soon to tell I guess.
[Captivate Accessories] MaxRabbit:
Ran into my first issue. As nissy86 said, I can't charge from the phone - it turns off completely after leaving it charge for too long.
[Captivate Accessories] MaxRabbit:
I'm quite happy with my purchase! I can charge from the phone, but if I leave it too long at 100% it shuts off. Otherwise, works perfect. I am just leaving the OEM batter in the phone, and keeping the two around as needed and I am happy :)

Hope you don't mind I added this to the wiki.
[Focus General] Seed 2.0:
When you use *#2580# it brings up " Phone Integrity". Default is "ON". This is purely a guess, but if that is "ON" then possibly no options explored or mistakenly changed will be permanent. The reason for my guess is, that I explored many of the screens and changed setting and changed them back with out any negative affects. However, after I mistakenly changed phone integrity to "OFF" (option 2, on that menu) Thats when my accelerometer craped out on me. With phone integrity off and I entered the LCD TEST screen and opened the Accelerometer Test screen.

Does anyone know what " Phone Integrity " represents?

I'm finding the echo cancel during phone conversations is horrible. For example, plug in the headset/mic, if I call my phone from a land line and hum, I can't hear myself in the ear buds. But if I mute the phone, I hear myself fine.
