[Captivate General] Picsman:
That rep was mis-informed, Marty. Indeed, the recent, full versions of Kies specifically prevent support for any Samsung Android phone sold by AT&T. But, Kies Mini is solely to support (I'm laughing so hard here I can barely type) AT&T's Samsung Android phones. That bit of software is a very silly, one-horse show.

I have several Samsung products in my home. I think they make fine products and, in my experience, they are well supported (not excellently but rather adequately). I am almost certain the problems we are experiencing result entirely from AT&T's effort to extract maximum possible revenue from the phones they sell and, at the same time, to minimize their support costs to the lowest level possible.

One final point: Us "techie-types" represent a tiny fraction of their overall audience. If they lost all of us it would likely make a tiny, insignificant dip in their revenue stream. The shame of this is that if they made some accommodation to us they might significantly increase revenues. I can't tell you how many people ask me what phone to buy. For those who are stuck with AT&T I have to recommend an HTC phone over a Samsung phone and for those who can use another carrier I am forced to recommend they use that other carrier.

I really like the Captivate and Android but I am forced to stay with AT&T. Every day my resentment for my imprisonment advances by several points.
[Captivate General] Picsman:
Ah, but it does not!

Just for the heck of it, I rebooted Windows and turned off the phone. Then I started Windows. I opened Device Manager so I could watch what Windows was up to as I followed your instructions.

I connected the USB cable to the phone and started the phone. When the phone was connected--but Kies still not started--I touched "Kies (Firmware update)" on the phone. In Device Manager I could see both the device (Portable Devices) and the drivers (USB controllers) had properly initialized. The phone's screen reported "Connected... Press the home key to quit Samsung Kies." (Note Samsung Kies had not been started which is, I think, some kind of a clue as to what's wrong). Then, I started Samsung Kies. Kies wanted me to connect a phone. Endlessly. Mindlessly.

Did it all again. Same result. To his/her credit, whatever some programmer did wrong fails consistently. (I am cursed by always seeing the bright side of every dark situation. :D)

We're all dealing with folk medicine and voodoo here. Each one of us has had something that works for him/her upon occasion and, in good faith, we each pass on our "good news" as if we had just found the Holy Grail.

Frustration is a word I use to indicate I'm confident my next attempt will meet with success. The word I use to describe something that will never work until something I have no way of knowing is changed by someone who does not care in the least about my frustration is disgust.

I'm quite much disgusted with AT&T as regards support for this phone. I actually don't think Samsung deserves my ire. I'm pretty sure--by holding a promise of selling thousands of Samsung phones over Samsung's head--AT&T by either its indifference or its incompetence or both has jeopardized Samsung's reputation and bastardized the Captivate--an otherwise excellent phone in most respects--at the same time.
[Captivate General] alphadog00:
Are you using Kies or Kies mini?

My instructions are for Kies Mini. The full version of Kies will not connect to the captivate - older versions will though. But I will admit it is difficult. with a mix of drivers (captivate, and generic samsung) and 2 different versions of kies, the full version of Kies is very hit or miss when connecting. It also is finicky about USB ports and cables.
[Captivate General] Picsman:
Everything I mention above relates to Kies Mini...

The last version of the full Kies which works with this phone is v1.5.3.10093_82. Because I have installed software which duplicates every feature I would use in the full version, I have never tried to install it.
[Captivate General] CatFan:
Picsman,

I gave up on trying to get Samsung to help me by the time Kies mini came out. It's like gambling each time I connect the USB cable. Today it might connect, tomorrow or later today it might not. My issue is that Samsung and ATT advertised the phone as being able to sync with Outlook. While trying to get that to work the Samsung techs gave up on me and used the "Kies not supported" line to just end my tech phone call. I do the same as you now. When my friends see my new snazzy phone they all ask about it, I was even asked by a waiter at a restaraunt the other day. I tell them all the same thing. I love Android, ATT is so-so and stay away from Samsung phones. I've had lots of years of success with HTC phones so I recommend those. As far as carrier I just tell everyone to look for the best deal. The carriers have all gotten past the point where I care about loyalty. I've been with ATT since back when it was still Bellsouth or was it Cingular then Bellsouth, either way, over 12 years. Do they give me any special deal? nope. The good deals go to new customers. The best deal you can find is who I recommend anymore unless there is a reason for something different like no reception for so and so carrier in my area, etc. I don't recommend one way or the other the iPhone. I won't buy one because Steve Jobs thinks he is god and he gets to pick what I do with my phone and what apps I can load. I won't do business that way so the iPhone is not an option for me. The part I hate most is that I'm afraid to flash and try new ROMS since everything I see about fixing a bricked phone requires a USB connection and mine doesn't work more than it does work. :(
[Captivate General] Picsman:
As I was reading your lament it occurred to me everything you said is somehow applicable to almost everything bought and sold these days. There is no such thing as reward for being a long-term customer and there is no such thing as customer service. Like the old days of the snake oil salesman rumbling into town with his horse and wagon, the objective is to sell as many bottles of the magic potion he has and then get the heck out of Dodge before there's a critical mass of people yelling "liar, liar." It's all a sad commentary on how things are these days.
[Captivate General] CatFan:
It's sad, but seems true in most cases anymore. The bigger the company the more it happens too it seems.
[Captivate General] charrog:
Ok I have done the impossible well at least it seemed that way I have been able to install the mtp drivers I downloaded the new Kies version for the Captivate listed here after connecting instead of stuck on connecting to PC it now says The device is not supported by Kies. I downloaded it from here http://www.samsung.com/ca/support/d...&prd_mdl_name=SGH-I896&prd_ia_sub_class_cd=P#

This makes no sense any ideas?
[Captivate General] charrog:
Oh this is what I did to fix the mtp driver issue...

This is not correct. I think your driver is outdated. Could you do what I said:

- uninstall the driver (click right mouse button on "Android MTP" and select "uninstall" in the menu)

- disconnect the device

- remove from windows folder/subfolders everything related: wpdmtp*.* (especially wpdmtp.inf and WPDMTPHW.INF in windows/inf folder)

- reinstall windows media player ver 11 or 12 (depends on windows version, ver11 for Windows XP)

- connect your device and install driver automatically

The device should be reported as I9000 or similar not "MTP device" and not "Android MTP"
[Captivate General] Picsman:
I'm confused! It's hard to figure out how your two messages are related to each other.

The site you show is in Canada and, while for a Captivate, it seems to be for a SGH-i896 as opposed to a SGH-i897 which is not Rogers but rather AT&T. And, what's this about an I9000?

To get help, you need to explain what device you have (Samsung model number), your carrier (Rogers or whom), and what you are trying to do.

If the Kies you downloaded says it does not support your phone, it may be because your phone is not an SGH-i896.

Need more info, please.
[Captivate General] charrog:
Yes you are correct mine is a ATT version no wonder :( oh well was excited for a moment thought it was released for all Captivates oh well at least I finally got the MTP issue resolved....the info to fix the MTP problem was from a this thread http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=8701204&postcount=76

[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gravehero:
Hi friends...

Ok. I flash my i9000b with this ROM and it really seems to be an open version 2.2 Froyo.

It works perfectly well for me (I flashed using odin3) and all features, including GPS and Brazillian Digital TV are working perfectly. (and all my programs and contacts remain installed)... nothing was deleted!

Another thing I missed is the "Energy Save Icon"... that one that is like a battery icon, that enables you to turn 3G on/off.

One thing I noticed is that this ROM came with that Gameloft games launcher... I have to remove it myselft.

I gained root access using OneClickRoot tool (using international version with Brazillian version of the phone) and after a few seconds... I got it rooted.

I just remove this annoing apps and get it unrooted again using the same method.

Thanks again Chainfire!
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] Manguita:
Root ? para esta ROM?
[Galaxy S I9000 Android Development] gravehero:
Yes... You can use an app called "SuperoneClick" and patch Brazillian I9000b using International version. I already tested it, and it works!

[Vibrant Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rjwisniewski:
This may sound incredibly lame, but try going to the market and searching for "Flash".

This should show you a few things. First you should see that Flash Player 10.1 is installed, if it is and you want to verify, download "Adobe Flash Showcase"

It's a free download that highlights sites with videos and games made for Flash 10.1 and it will only work if your phone has it installed.

After you're done and you've verified whether it's working or not you can simply delete the showcase if you don't want it.
[Nook Color General] Ravynmagi:
Maybe this has nothing to do with the NC, not sure yet.

But I've noticed that some apps don't seem to show up in the Market on my Nook Color, but do on my Android phone and AppBrain.

For example EA Mobile has some 99 cent games on sale right now. I got Need for Speed for my phone. And it shows up in AppBrain on my NC, but in the Market it's not there.

I noticed some others missing too like Super Manager.

Are these apps not showing up because this Market apk came from the Galaxy Tab and they aren't supported on tablets (noticed one of the EA games did mention it wasn't supported on the Galaxy Tab)? Or is something else going on?
[Nook Color General] clockcycle:
Market will not show apps that are deemed incompatible with your device. Since NC doesn't come with market, it will mainly show you generic apps. Other alternate market apps may show you apps that work or that don't and apps that require OS 2.2, since the NC is an unsupported device.

[Nook Color General] naezwood:
I've had this same problem, specifically with Pocket Legends. I sideloaded an old .apk of it and booted it up. It works, but then tells me to upgrade and when I let it go to the market, the screen just flashes and goes back to the pocket legends app.

Ugh. Is this something that could be fixed in the future? I'm starting to get surprised at how many apps I can't download from the Market now. Can't even install Firefox. :(

[Nook Color General] earlyhike:
Inconsistance

I've had to re-root my new nook color several times. The first time I did it the Market had a limited number of apps. Viewing the "Top Free" or "Top Paid" only had about 10 apps visible as opposed to a long ongoing list of apps.

After a factor reset and re-root the market was showed any and every app.

After a third factory reset and reroot the market was back to the original way with far fewer apps. (currently Firefox, Dolphin, Skyfire are NOT visible but Opera is)

So I can confirm "something" is problematic. I came to this forum hoping for an answer myself.

Running 1.0.1 and used auto-nooter each time.
[Nook Color General] barbo:
This may not fix your problem, earlyhike - but it may help someone:

When viewing the market holding it as a portrait, only 10 apps show but if you rotate to landscape then you can scroll through the long list.

Hope this helps someone :)

Hi just a quick question.

Is there any way i can run Andriod on my stock T-mobile UK

Rom - 1.72.110.4 (86525) WWE

Radio - 2.07.51.22_2

I tried to update to 3.14 but not able to as HTC site does not allow me to as it does not support my phone yet

I dont want to put a custom rom on.

Thank you in advance
[HD2 General] Stephen:
Think that radio is too old to run android properly. If you are worried about warrenty, all you have to do is extract the .nbh file from the stock rom and rename it to leoimg.nbh, put that on to your SD card and reboot into the boot loader. This will wipe all custom HSPL rom and radio and put the stock rom back on to your phone.

I have tried tried it and confirm that it works. It will also re-instate your warrenty as well :) Go ahead and flash a custom rom you will be surprised at just how much better it is than the stock 1.72 rom you mentioned it is sooooo out of date :)

BTY suggest you look at duttys rom and also download radio 2.15 as well. Better reception and battery life :)
[HD2 General] colinm:
I'm running on stock Tmobile 1.72 all you need to do is upgrade your radio to above 2.08 but ending in .50

Minor difficulties. The bootanimation.zip file I have for the true stock animation is corrupted and I'm not having any luck fixing it.

I've attached two alternatives though. The first file is the SGS bootanimation that has been optimized for a smaller screen. It works fine, but it is smaller than it would normally be.

The other is a modded version with a BIOS boot intro followed by the SGS boot animation (full sized). In my opinion, its pretty freakin sweet. Credit to specialex and LitePro. This one is their work, not mine.

Either way, download, rename to bootanimation.zip and drop it into system/media folder using root explorer or a comparible file manager app.
