[G2 and Desire Z Accessories] Crey23:
Got my Otter Box yesterday, and couldn't be any happier. I have had about 4 or 5 cases on the phone. OEM soft rubber case, hard plastic (black x 2, White x 1, &clear x 1). I didn't really feel that the phone was protected with the cheap thin cases, but better than nothing. The clear one was nice and thick, but you could see the dirt inside which sucked.

I did use the T-Mobile OEM soft rubber (gel) case for quite a bit, but it was far tooooo grippy, causing it fall often due to the fact that it could get tangled as I was pulling it out of my pocket, not to mention that it was very thick!

Now the Otter Box, should have felt bulkier, but after the TMO gel case, it is actually no that bad. it does feel slightly heavier, but it not feel much bigger (if you are using it coming from a bare phone you will see a huge difference).

The level of protection, and confidence this case provides is above any other case I have tried. Definitely worth the $25 on amazon.

Modem seems to work great.

I would hold out on flashing the ROM.

It seems some people are having the following error and bricking their phones:

E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p2

(Invalid argument)

Flashing modem right now to axura 2.1 with xcalibur 2.1.6 kernel

Will post update zip shortly after tested. Update zip works via CWM.

CWM JK4 Modem

Here is the Modem packed for CWM

EDIT for n00bs :) : CWM means ClockWorkMod Recovery, not the stock recovery. This update does not need to be renamed!. And if you really are a beginner, please read before you risk throwing 400 bucks out of the window ;)
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] cappyron:
I am getting more consistent upload speeds with this over jk3..

Sent from Cyanogen... or something similar
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] keredini:
Just flashed using clockwork on axura and setiron kernel, so far so good. DL / UL speed seems slightly better, athough I know that fluctuates a bit anyway.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] kennethpenn:
This thing is very comparable to JK3. Don't see any real speed improvements, but definitely nothing is worse.

Call quality is wonderful
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] geokilla:
What's the modem used for? How is it compared to the Rogers modem?

I just rename it to Update.zip and place it in my root folder of the phone, then boot into Recovery and update it correct?

wow.

stop

please dont go any farther.

where the hell does it say anything about renaming to update.zip??

why is it people dont read?

Don't rename it. Just put it on your sd card and go int clockwork recovery. Select apply zip and then choose zip from sd. Then choose the file. Let it do it's thing and then you have it.

I tried to flash the .tar ROM and ended up with a totally dead Captivate. Black screen, no power on, no bootloader, no download mode.

Any ideas? Or is this going to have to be a return-to-store for $100 type of thing?

I didn't try flashing the rom yet, but was planning to later until reading your post. Looking around, I've discovered other people have been having problems with this rom from the official Kies download from Bell. If the 3 button combo and the jig fails.. the only other possible solution I've come across is the riff jtag box. Either find someone who has one, or they cost $150. They are supposed to restore from dead boot and re-enable download mode. There is a list of posted locations on the website, try to find one close to you.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Cezar`:
Read guys, reading could save you a lot of money

OP, wouldn't this stock rom thread stick better to General? And, people, before flashing anything, WAIT and READ!! Investigate, let someone with experience check if this is a LOW (with bootloader update) or MEDIUM (without bootloader update) package.

Bootloader update could make your Captivate useless (like a real brick, they're not even used for building anymore :) ). Keep in mind that this is NOT a Captivate ROM!! So things can go pretty ugly.

Anyway, is true, if the bootloader is the issue, then I believe Samsung will take it and repair it. But, for the love of God, dont brick your phone and then go there and lie that it died by itself, assume responsibility in the same measure you assumed the risk.

Note: this is not directed to kennethpenn :) is for all people which dont know exactly what they are doing.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] killer23d:
No luck so far, have been dumping the ROM out from RFS, root and stuff (the normal things) and boot to the Galaxy S screen with 3 vibration of death.

So... no go at the moment.

It seems the later releases are same deal, won't work on the Captivate at all.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] storm68:
I disagree, i have it working on my cappy flawlessly..... :D (not the bell, the I9000) :D

Axura 2.1 w Setiron 1.4.5 and JK4... smooth as butter.

Wasn't Da_G saying that the GPS drivers were stored in the modem baseband? I wonder if there is a chance this new modem will have better GPS support... ??
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] comdei:
just wondering what does the modem do?

Just trying to learn some stuff to get my brain ready to flash.

Would this work with Axura and give me stable call quality and overall stability

Did you just Odin flash the tar file? Or you actually replaced the kernel in a already modded firmware?

Flashed the CWM of this modem this morning and promptly lost most of my GPS function... wouldn't lock at all. Tried rebooting, various locations indoor and out... nada. I did notice an improvement in download speeds, but slower on uploads. Voice calls were same with either modem. Flashed back to JK3 and have excellent GPS function again.

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] existz:
Theres 2 ways..

1) Download the modem.bin and use ODIN... all you have to do is make sure ODIN is opened up first on your PC, then put the phone in download mode and then connect to PC.. then just flash the Modem.bin file...

2) Use CWM.. download the JK4.zip, boot into CWM, choose install from zip, choose the jk4.zip file and it will install

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] lrs421:
Ok, so its clear GPS has a mind of it's own. I just flashed this over assonance 4.3 with xcaliburinhands kernel and got a lock in 3 seconds with great accuracy while driving. GPS was great with jk3 but is even better with jk4. I'm also noticing improving dl and ul speeds. Jk4 is a keeper.

I still can't believe it locked so darn fast. Subsequent locks were the same, 3-5 seconds.
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] devz3r0:
Nice!

I too was having the GPS problem until i cleared the data using LBSTESTMODE:

I can confirm it. I have Perception Build 4 ROM and replaced the kernel to Setiron 1.4.3 with working GPS. After flashing modem, could not get a lock. I then flashed the gpsjmp.zip. Then went to LBSTestMode (you can dial one of these 2 numbers to get there from the phone:

*#*#3214789650#*#* OR *#*#1472365#*#*

and click Application Setting > Operation Mode. I changed to Standalone. If that fails, change to MS Based.

I then got satellite locks in 5 seconds.

why was this moved to Captivate?

this should be in the I9000 forum
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] dayloooo:
That may be because you are on an i896 kernel . You need to have a i9000 kernel and modem for it to work properly .

It's here because the Captivate is sick , and we have re-oriented i9000 kernels that we can combo with the i9000 modems .

Correct me if I'm wrong .

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] enerj:
Also a captivate related question, perhaps best placed in the serendipity 6.4 thread, but why is this the stock modem for 6.4 which is an i897 rom?

It's also on 1900 band, while I'm under the impression at&t phones like the 850 band? I tried to change this with*#0011# to no avail.

Am i completely off here?

Quick edit to my last post-*#0011# now (and sometimes) tells me I'm on 850. Still not too impressed with this on my i897 which I'm pretty sure is my real problem. Just can't see why this is stock on 6.4

Where exactly on this ad are you seeing that Sears is selling it for this price this Friday and Saturday? I just bought mine this past weekend so I'm still in my 30 day window where I can go in and demand $30 back since I bought it for $379.99.
[G Tablet General] jae-v:
yea looked up sears ad not seeing it
[G Tablet General] xmr405o:
See that price is more reasonable. They should just keep it at that price. :D
[G Tablet General] copc:
Their price protection is for 14days. I just got off chat with a sears rep and they say go into store and you will be taken care of.

I even told them I could return it and buy it at staples with the sears price.

I think we should be taken care of, I will be going down Fri or Sat with receipt in hand!
[G Tablet General] Lindarose84:
Just got off the phone with Sears and they had no clue what the hell I was talking about. Someone please verify which site that coupon comes from.

[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
crap... my 14d w/Staples were up Monday!

I knew that I should've returned it and bought one at Sears!
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
Okay, I'm really confused. Where did this ad come from?

My Fri/Sat ad for Cincinnati doesn't even show a GTab in it, and the weekly ad that ends tomorrow says its $379.99 still, and then, the website says $399.99. When I got my price match at staples for $379.99 on Monday, the website showed that price. Now it doesn't.

Is Sears as confused as we are?
[G Tablet General] rushless:
Just call and ask them. Price they would charge will show up when they enter the sku. Sears is pretty good with coordinating prices with their adds.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
Site looks pretty screwed up ATM. It shows $379.99 but when you click on it for the specific page it then shows $399.99 ...

Yeah, I did a price match to $379.99 on Monday as well instead of returning it.

[EDIT]

Looked in the online weekly ad and didn't see it there either, but there was a BT Garmin GPS which is kind of tempting, but I want something smaller w/o display...

[/EDIT]
[G Tablet General] NewbTrader:
Staples has an extended return policy through the holidays, and it includes electronics. You have 30 days minimum.
[G Tablet General] cutterjohn:
I bought before 11/26 though... the Monday before, i.e. 11/22 ... my price guarantee was marked as an "exchange" though (new receipt)... hmmm....
[G Tablet General] KnightCrusader:
If he got it 2 weeks ago this past Monday, that means he got it the Monday before Thanksgiving, which the extended policy doesn't apply. It only applies to purchases Black Friday to Christmas Eve, and the return deadline is Jan 8, 2011.

(I checked into this before I bought mine to make sure I'd have quite a long time to make up my mind to keep it.)

My Vulcan logic would make me believe that they'd extend the price match guarantee to that date too, but I haven't found word about that. It only makes sense though; either price match the item, or I'll return it and get a brand new one for the matched price.
