Hey hans. ..the problem with system file is it is set to read only..and u can change to R/W
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Jay, lagfix is enabled by default. You should have a folder in your files folder named voodoo. If not, your flash went wrong. With quadrant scores in the 800 I am leaning towards a bad flash. They should be around 1100 on average.
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
Ill defintley have to fix that then. Thanks!

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I think that would be a good idea Hans. Only thing is the BT problem for people who care about that. Other than that it would alleviate a lot of lagfix questions/concerns. I would say to just post a link to the direct DL for it but I have a feeling that would cause a lot more harm than good.;)
[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
Pity I'm so new and can't post more than in 5 minutes. I'd already done the 2 minutes thing (suggested earlier in this thread and again on the Odin thread), so after reading your post I pulled the battery (USB unplugged) and walked away for 10 minutes (cigarette break.) Returned, attempted to follow the steps in the FAQ to enter download mode, and still got the phone+!+computer thing. :(

If there's another thread to which I should take this issue, please advise. Don't want to pollute the latest Axura thread with my miseries.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Hey Zel, not that it matters but you killed my post count when you cleaned up the thread! Went from 350+ to 270. Oh well.

We are here to help you and will get you through this. It is not polluting unless you are just chit chatting or having a war like myself and a few other guys had last night. that was really fun though. Let me look into a few things.

I don't like the Email.apk in this rom. I use this one http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=9029751&postcount=25

Flash Preparation

Adam,

Thanks again (as you above posted) for all your useful responses. I was able to get that issue (when clicking on Display under Settings) of FC's cleared up after formatting the sd and doing a master clear or master reset (whatever it's called in CWR, not going to reboot just to find out ;) ).. I have already done a back up using astro.. Still think I should wait for the next build or now that my rom is pretty dang vanilla just go ahead and flash to 2.1?

Thanks,

Haptic Feedback

Hans/Adam/Mac/Whoever else might know..

In RC2.1, does the Gingerbread keyboard have actual haptic feedback? I haven't had that since I flashed from Eclair and I really like it (on any of the android keyboards.. the swype/samsung/htc ones all work w haptic)

I am currently using RC1, GB keyboard, no Haptic feedback (but it's enabled)

hey guys, i've searched and searched to no avail. cant seem to find much answer to this issue. i'm having difficulties connecting to my router with wifi. always had problems with it since day one and never really tried to figure it out as i dont know much plus i had higher priorities.

now that i'm working on it, i cant solve it! my router is wep based, i put in the encryption (pass code) and it'll say obtaining ip address and just sit there doing nothing. as per another thread i tried to use a static ip address and even that didnt work. filled in ip address, gateway, and netmask. everything is exactly the same as my computer except for 1 digit at the end of ip address being different, still no luck. anyone willing to help me take this on or is a reflash needed?

for what it's worth, i'm still running RC1 as i'm waiting for hans to post a change log. also forgot to mention that i powercycled my network as well to no avail.

Guys how do I get into cwm to disable bln notifications? I boot into recovery and all I get is 2e :-(

GB KB

Thanks for the link..

I have it installed already, not sure if I like the size of it, tad smaller than Latin. Also doesn't offer the drag up option which I like better. I'll keep using it for now though.

For RC2, My understanding is we want to use Odin3, not the one that lets me point to the pda & rom correct? After I do that and it boots up, I drop the update.zip on my sd, restart into recovery, use the update.zip and I get CWR and can then flash into RC2 Correct? (is this rooted by default? I find rooting to be a PITA here at work)
[Captivate Android Development] jtdroid:
I wasnt getting this error with RC1. How do I resovle this?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
You can't with this kernel. Go to the market and DL bln notification. That should help you.

Edit: Yes, you can flash sentiron's kernel over your current setup. Disable lagfix first. You do that by creating a folder in voodoo called disable-lagfix and reboot.

Unnecessary Roms?

I am trying to determine if apps that are showing under "Manage Applications" -> "All" are supposed to be there and if I can remove them with out affecting anything.

Car Home

Buddies Now

Calendar Clock

Days

Feeds & Updates

Y! Finance Clock

Desk Home

Manage Online Albums

Music Visualization Wallpapers

News & Weather

Samsung Apps

Sound Player

These seem to be useless apps and overlap with other apps. Before I flash 2.1 I wanted to see if these will be in there as well.

Thanks,

I get scores around 1100 when I disable lagfix, and scores near 2000 when lagfix is enabled. Seems odd that so many people are getting similiar results.

I, too, am getting decent battery life. Flashed this morning (9:00am) at about 90% and been messing around tweaking this and that since and am at 70% now (1:15pm). Even played a couple games, sent some MMS, listened to music, etc. At least as solid on battery life as I had with Axura RC1.

[Captivate Android Development] thomcrowe:
I don't know what the deal is with my battery (I know it has to be my cappy) but I flashed last night and my phone charged back to 100% when I woke up at 7; I don't listen to music, my gps and wifi are both off, and I've only got 43% battery life left. This is leaps and bounds better than I was getting on stock, but does anyone have any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
Sorry emoticons are lacking in subtlety. I'm annoyed (at myself) but hardly raging...

I'm in the phone+!+computer thing. Here's what I've tried so far (not in order, I've tried many things):

1) Pull SIM, SD, battery, let it sit for 5+ minutes, reinsert battery, power on: P!C

2) Pull battery, let it sit for 10 minutes, reinsert battery, press power+vol down+vol up: P!C -but- this P!C blinks every 10 seconds or so, until I release one of the buttons.

2a) Variations - releasing power when it's blinked, releasing vol up when it's blinked, releasing vol down when it's blinked - all three result in steady P!C

3) Pull battery for 5+ minutes, insert USB cable, insert battery: P!C

4) Pull battery for 5+ minutes, insert USB cable, insert battery with vol down+vol up: P!C

5) Pull battery for 5+ minutes, insert USB cable, insert battery with power+vol up+vol down: P!C, and the blinking behavior.

That about sums it up. I've tried every variation I've seen anywhere while searching for "phone+!+computer" and none have worked. The difference I see from success stories others have had is that no matter how long I leave it disconnected, it still goes back to P!C, whereas others have had it show the ATT logo after a few minutes off battery.

Thanks for reading...

Open ODIN One-Click... Pull battery... Let sit for 2 minutes... Put battery back in... Hold both volume buttons - (DO NOT TOUCH THE POWER BUTTON)... Plug in USB while still holding volume buttons, but not touching the power button!

You should now be in Download mode and recognized by ODIN One-Click... Click Start... Sit back and watch... Report back...

That is normal. The captivate always hangs on the DB writing.

Try this:

1. Pull battery

2. Reinsert battery

3. Hold Volume Up+Down buttons

4. Connect your USB cable to your PC but not your phone

5. While holding volume buttons plug your USB cable into your phone

6. Hopefully profit from Download mode

Sigh...

I didn't mention in earlier posts, in each case I listed I was restarting Odin prior to attempting to resuscitate the phone. Anyway, I repeated these exact steps, and still got the P!C.

For a moment I wondered if maybe the problem were with the 'computer' end and so I pulled the battery and USB again, rebooted, waited for the system to settle down, restarted Odin, inserted battery, held both volume buttons (no power!) and plugged the USB cable back in.

P!C.
[Captivate Android Development] lionheartck:
I would redownload Odin One-Click

Open Odin

Pull Battery, and replace. (do not power on)

Hold down both volume buttons and plug into PC (do not touch power button)

You should go right into download mode.

once Odin recognizes your phone, click start.

If that doesn't work, reboot your PC, try a different USB Port, give Odin more time between steps.

•Be sure the Samsung USB drivers for the phone are installed on your computer.

•Remove and replace the battery.

•Connect the phone to the computer with the USB cable. The "phone-exclamation mark-computer" picture should display on the phone's screen.

•Hold the Volume Up+Volume Down+Power buttons down simultaneously.The screen should go blank, then the picture should appear again. When the screen goes blank a second time, release the Power button while continuing to hold the Volume Up+Volume Down buttons down

2.1

Flashed to 2.1, seems to be going good.. going to try Astro Restore for apps. Did master clear a few times along with an sd format etc. Quick ?..

I'm a tad concerned about all the talk of lagfixes. My understanding is that this ROM would be pretty good out of the box.

Do I or do I not need a lagfix and is one enabled by default?

If one is needed, what are the steps to enable it or point me to the thread that states the directions.

Thanks Again,

Off to buy a cable to build a jig...

Done. I've actually obtained Odin from two different sources, but have compared the MD5s for all three EXEs (including the re-download from the link in the FAQ) and all three are identical.

I'm pretty well convinced it's toasted. Windows does not get any indication that a USB device has been plugged in, as it did when I first went to run Odin. The very instant the phone is connected to the PC, it shows the P!C picture, Windows does not go "BONG", so it's just torqued.

If nobody has any new suggestions, I guess I'm going to go try to find a spare cable I can dissect and rig-a-jig from.

[Captivate Android Development] AlsoNamedBort:
Nope, pulled them out immediately after I first encountered the P!C.

This is exactly what I was hoping to hear - some sort of trickery involving what buttons to press... but I've just tried it twice, and each time when I released the power button I just had the P!C come back on steady. If I hold power again, it will start flashing (~10 secs.) but it just happens again.

I am certain the drivers are installed, but for full disclosure - I'd installed the drivers off of Samsung's site originally, and they worked for mass-storage access as well as adb, so I thought I was good. But when I fired up Odin and got the phone into Downloading mode initially, there was no driver match. So I downloaded the drivers from the Odin page, installed them, and then it worked. That might have something to do with my brickage.

One last effort - going to take my drivers and Odin over to the wife's computer and see if things go any differently there. On my wife's machine, I'll only use the drivers from the Odin page...

After that, it's off on a cable hunt.

Thanks for all who contributed.
