[Just wanted to add the dynamic similar posts module is a nice add-on]

Anyone had this problem before, or experiencing it now like me and can't find an answer. Would appreciate some info if anyone has, I had a look in existing threads but did not find any thing, may have missed it.

Here are the steps I take when in browser:

[1] type "mobile.msn.com"

[2] This redirects browser to 'msn' styled up for mobile devices

[3] Click the envelope icon

[4] This triggers modal popup window containing:

Download the 890 bytes file 'default.aspx' to the 'My Documents'

folder in Main Memory?

[5] Three options are available 'yes', 'change location' & 'cancel'

[6] I select yes // I have tried 'change location' & 'cancel' too, ditto outcome

[7] Another modal prompt box appears containing:

A file with this name already exists. Do you want to replace it?

[8] Options are 'yes' and 'no'

[9] I have chosen both options as well as deleting the file so this event does not happen

[10] ...Nothing else happens, I am thrown out to the default home page and clicking the envelope icons starts the same procedure steps [1] - [10]

Here is what I have tried by way of debugging:

soft reset

[ii] Hard reset

[iii] Deleting and reconfiguring internet connection settings, currently:

Connection Type: Cellular Line GPRS

AccessPoint: payandgo.o2.co.uk

UserName: payandgo

Password: password

proxy server: 193.113.200.195

HTTP: 193.113.200.195:8080

WAP: 193.113.200.195:8080

Secure WAP: 193.113.200.195:9203

Socks: 193.113.200.195:1080

[v] changing HTTP and WAP ports to: 8000

I use to be able to do this out of hand, then it just stopped redirecting to

my mobile email account. I know o2 have brought in the 'simplicity' package,

but after contacting them and going through there tech support

they say it is a 3rd party website issue and not a device or service fault.

Any ideas,

Much obliged

All links pulled due to XDA Request after an XDA member complained I was only out for profits to a moderator on a few products I have. Due to the fact I link to a product or two and a few other things in many videos, I was asked to pull any content relating to this.

I will still be offering all this great material at my website. Just go to google and search for MobileTechVideos.

That program is actually very nice and I'd prefer it over screencast to make videos. However, my tutorial is based on how to control the phone from the pc as well as view it from the pc and I don't believe that program offers remote control of the phone. Thanks again for the link though! I may need to make a video for that as well!

[Captivate General] vaibhavrulez:
First of all, I was very impressed by your detailed video about flashing custom ROMs. I used it step by step and works perfect. Even though b8 version was available, I still flashed the b6 version that you had on your video. I am assuming there would be just minor differences in the two? Also my Baseband Version is now UCJJ4.

I have noticed that Media Hub has gone missing. Is that a deliberate action or have I messed up in a small way?
[Captivate General] reinbeau:
Isn't that considered part of the AT&T 'bloatware'?
[Captivate General] vaibhavrulez:
Not at all man...the bloatware is all removed ala Radio, Mobile Banking, Mobi TV, Maps, Music, Navigator and Hotspots. I dont understand why was Media Hub removed?
[Captivate General] jonnyg1097:
I was watching a tutorial video of yours on how to change the android boot animation and mentioned that there was a way to mod the at&t splash screen and I was wondering if you were planning on making a video tutorial on that some time soon, cause I have it on my phone and its pretty annoying since im on rogers and i see that (thanks to some fooling around with roms) plus the rogers one also.

I'm still working on a stable way to do it. It's such a high risk mod I'm not sure I want to do a tutorial on it. It's higher risk than romming imo messing with the 2 files involved. You can search for it if you'd like though!

Hey so earlier on I asked about removing the AT&T logo from the boot up and I found a post here that shows it done. I guess it replaces it with a stock load image from a I896 captivate but I guess its a step in the right direction to replacing it. This is what I needed since this is the phone I have and it worked perfectly for myself.

Help with Media Scanning: Disabled

I installed SDK following your directions and then attempted the Media Scanning code. I'm on a rooted stock 2.1 Captivate.

My issue is towards the very end of the process. It says in the command code that my media scanning is disabled.....identical to yours in the video. So I would think its going to work. But I reboot my phone and no luck. It's still there.

I didn't see in your video at what point you plugged the phone from the PC. But I assume you did this before rebooting. Also, did you just do a regular reboot?

I tried renaming a file or two just to make sure it's still enabled....and its definitely still there.

Any advice? The command code says it's disabled...but the phone shows no changes.

Where is the Z4root file?

I watched your rooting video and along with the others a great job. This is what I was looking for 2 months ago when I got my phone. I'm finally ready to take the plunge and flash!

You mentioned in the video the Z4 file was in the More Info section. Well silly me can't find it. Can you point me in the right direction?

Thanks again for you great work.
[Captivate General] connexion2005:
It's literally right in the more info section man! It takes you to the XDA thread and there you can get the apk file.

Yeah, I figured it wasn't too bad. Just didn't know if the little things had to be done like disable lagfixes, etc.

In my searching, i've found several people that didn't know how to do it or were going to attempt to do it wrong. I figured you'd covered just about everything else, why not modems too. :D

An added emphasis

It would be good if you'd emphasize not restoring system settings when restoring after a backup. I see more and more posts from new flashers about ROMs not working properly, after a bit of probing it most always turns out that they were using TB or MBP and they did a full restore including system settings. Your videos are being passed around all over the place, they seem to be the go-to for new ROM flashers, congratulations!

[Captivate General] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Just bought a new computer for 1 reason... to have a reliable PC for my phone to do all this fun stuff. I've been using this old hand me down to gain root, and do most of my web browsing. I have yet to flash back to stock. I have yet to also encounter any errors.. but I do think i need to know what how to use and be comfortable with odin.. as well as anything else i need to know. However..

I cannot find i guess "drivers" to recognize my phone. I simply did a usb plug in expecting to see my phone on the computer but it didn't show up so i went into devices and saw it there with an error saying no drivers were found.

Any idea whats going on here?

My goal is to flash back to stock, and gain root again, and flash the current ROM that i am running which is Paragon RC5.1

And who knows, maybe try different ROMs and get comfortable flashing back to stock if need be. Kinda starting from square 1 except backwards:o

*EDIT* I have looked for Samsung captivate drivers.. also used the links provided in the op

The stock browser will only download file types it recogznizes.

1. Download the free ASTRO file manager from the market.

2. In ASTRO's preferences enable downloading of all file types.

3. Download

Note: you may need to kill the browser after you enable the option.

Also, try Dolphin Browser. Long press on the link you want then save. It is much better about treating hyperlinks as actual file downloads.
