I have unlimited data, I had the iphone *unlimited, I mean capped, no wait I really mean unlimited* data plan and when I went to my cap they kept it and it is *truely* and I verified repeatedly (I worked there for a long time too so I knwo to ask a few times) that I truely have no data cap.. 30.00 a mo, unlimited data.
[Captivate Android Development] Haighter:
Thanks! That's a great little app.
[Captivate Android Development] HDVWing:
Thanks that makes sense
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
They have for a long time. But as of (sometime) last year they changed it. It's not a "true" unlimited plan. I think there is a 2Gig limit. I was on before that and have a true unlimited plan, so I can use 10Gig and not pay extra. Not that I could do 10Gig on my phone
[Captivate Android Development] darkovin:
They used to have unlimited data plans, but pulled them. As far as I know, the only way to have one now, is to have had one before they cancelled them. When I got my first Cappy last Oct, the associate took almost 1/2 hour to make sure I kept that feature on my account. When I got my wife her Cappy a couple weeks ago, they couldn't add it to her account.
[Captivate Android Development] Pinepig:
He's probably a legacy customer and had it prior to the Captivate.

I have unlimited.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
I've used over 5 :). When you were grandfathered (say on an iPhone or other unlimited data plan) and go to a new phone and specifically ask to keep your unlimited data, they have to (had to) let you.
[Captivate Android Development] chrism0483:
Ok I was trying to find the answer but struck out. I can.download on network easily. But when I connect to wifi downloads stop at 1or 2 % and that's it. Was a fix ever made or is there a solution. Thanks in advance anyone

Use root explorer or similiar app and go to the: system>app folder and backup the email apk there. Then just place the new email apk in that folder and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
I work for att and they stopped offering unlimited data for $30 last summer. The only plans for smartphone data being offered unless you are still on the grandfather plan are $25 for 2GB with $10 per 1GB overage and the $15 for 200MB with $15 per 200MB overage. Obviously the $25 is better in every way.

The reason behind the change is that att said that 97% of users don't go over 2GB and 73% don't go over 200MB. So att cut the unlimited plans.

If you are still on the old plan you can keep it as long as you stay with a non-iphone or blackberry smartphone. If you switch from android/windows7 to bb or iphone you will be forced to move to the new plans.

just fyi.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
If you had unlimited data plans before they removed them then you were allowed to keep it. I have unlimited for 30 a month but my wife and son both got stuck on the 2 gig package because neither had a data plan before att switched packages.

i love this rom so much the battery life is amazing....also a little side not i just loaded up android 2.2.1 on my old iphone 3g just for fun...it almost makes the iphone worth having again lol....now if i could only put phoenix rising on it too lol
[Captivate Android Development] mod777:
Technically, whether you can keep it or not depends on where you go. If you call CS or go to a cor store and you tell them that you want to keep the plan, they can accomodate you. However, if you do not tell them or you go to an authorized dealer, then you will be most likely switched to the new plan.
[Captivate Android Development] Charles Brennan:
You know how in Windows, when you delete a default printer, it immediately sets the new default to whatever printer it can find? I suspect something like that happens in the Captivate while you are over-writing the Swype.apk. Same thing happened to me, (I too prefer a more conservative-looking interface) and when I drilled to Settings-Locale and Text-Select Input Method, I discovered it had switched itself to the Samsung keypad. Moved it back to Swype and got what I was lookgin for. Check and see if your Swype is REALLY Swype.

Hope this helps.

Hmm.. read a bit back about market issues? I can't update apps and when they download they just drop off after the dl completes. I'm on 3g but same issue occurred on wifi. I have applied the market fix. Any suggestion all?

[Captivate Android Development] BigMc71:
Love this ROM. I really haven't had any problems other than that Wi-FI drains my battery very fast (half the battery in two/three hours). I notice in the Wi-fi settings page, that the "scanning" message pops up every few seconds. My wi-fi is already connected which I know will work the battery but I'm wondering if the continual scanning is making even worse. Is there a way, and would it be beneficial, to change the frequency for scanning for networks?

Battery

I've been thumbing through the last couple dozen pages about 3.0, and have seen several people claiming their batteries won't charge above 99%, or they revert to 99% as soon as its unplugged.

Has anyone found a way around that issue? Despite recalibrating and wiping battery stats, my Cappy still drops to 99% as soon as I take out the charger. Seems like 99% is the new 100%?

It's a known issue on 2.2.1 ROMs

Used SGS tools, cleared mkt cache & restored mkt app.. working now. Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] ccdoggy:
Right now with the FireBird kernel it will not. The brand new speedkernel will work.

I posted it as a suggestion for the next release as something to greatly improve the ROM. It does need to be integrated into the kernel.

DG is working on / about to release FB v2.0 and it would be great if he included this change. The Dev tools are released to use already so it should be pretty easy. I have tried to catch DG on this topic but have not heard back from him. Maybe if enough of us in this thread talk about it Adam could catch DG and see what can happen.

GPS is still not perfect

Adam, thanks for the latest update on GPS. I tried on my phone and drove my usual route my work. It is still not perfect. I kept changing the blue circle around the arrow, and sometimes snapping to side roads, that I am not on. Actually it is not visibly different than previous versions. I think there is some HW issue with the GPS that probably will not be fixed with SW upgrades. I compared my captivates GPS with my friend's Droid (the original one). When stationary, my cappy can lock down to 10m accuracy, sometimes down to 5m. My friends went down to 2m accuracy. And it was really that accurate. I never got that level of accuracy from my cappy.On driving, the droid is always spot on, never missing it. Nothing like what I can get from my phone.

Thanks for all the effort you put into it.

Since installing the new modem, I have had no problems with random shut offs (granted it has only been a few hours)!

EDIT: Seems I spoke too soon. Phone shut off as I typed this...any chance a different kernel would fix this issue?
[Captivate Android Development] singlebeam:
Others have had the same issue.

Everyone has been saying that the new modem turns off the 850 band, which seems to be used by more than a few people. That could possibly be your problem. I think you can enable it through a service code menu - someone can correct me if I'm wrong.

Can someone elaborate a little more on this?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I found that the combination of our Captivates GPS and google navigation gives me varying results but once I switched to a different 3rd party GPS program (Navigon) I get vary good results. I never lose locks and it never jumps off tracks.

It is a known issue that the Captivate's do not have the best GPS hardware in them.

Great 3.0

Adam and the phoenix group, I just want to thank you for 3.0 I upgraded my stock unit for the first time to 2.0 and then to 3.0 and so far the best ROM on my phone I love it battery is running great, phone reception good, wifi good, gui looks great. Again thanks for the great job it is like getting a completely new phone.
[Captivate Android Development] docflower:
For those who want to try it... regardless of ROM have yet to find a good GPS fix. For a while now ive been trying new ROMs and the associated GPS settings. None have worked well.

However, I have kept a file that has ALWAYS been good for me personally regardless of ROM. I just flash it once I see the ROM gps settings dont work.

Its a flashable file called "cwm-vibrant-files.zip"

This file has given me great results. I dont know how to upload files but a google search yields the file.

Hope this helps some

I have a clingo windshield mount (if you're in a state that allows windshield mounts) and I love it.. It has some minor quirks but if you do as it suggests (which is really simple) it works great. Stick on, pull off. Do wish it were a smidge closer to my hands though & considered getting the vent mount..
[Captivate Android Development] Chargerdude70:
The random shutdown issue is strange to me. My phone originally did not have that issue untill I started flashing, mostly with another persons ROMs. I havent had it with Adam since Axura. Strange. Anywho, try this app. It seems this fixes the issue or at least bandaid's it. This is from the guy who did the video review of Phoenix 3.0 that is on OP of this thread. I tried to install the app but it would see my root for some crazy reason? Maybe you will have better luck.

Are you using a theme? The stock Phoenix theme shows an inflated signal strength. It will only show zero or two bars or higher. Some of the themes have that fixed, some don't.

I was also considering a vent mount but worried about vent strength and stability.

Thats why I am looking at the dash mount, a little closer to me then a windshield mount. Mount

I just called Samsung and they are going to take the phone in and repair it.

Will be android-less for 6 days :(; will update here once I get repaired phone if issue persists.
[Captivate Android Development] Klyentel:
I personally haven't upgraded to Phoenix 3.0 as of yet because I haven't seen the need to. My phone works so good with 2.0 and I've been so happy with it (battery life, speed, gps, wifi...etc.) everything on it is just great. Using the latest speedmod kernel K12L by the way. I did push the framework from 3.0 to 2.0 so I could sport the latest look. And I like that the number percentage in the battery icon is bigger. Other than that, Im sticking with 2.0, I think this is the longest I've ever stayed on a rom ( used to be a flash fanatic like everyone else, lol) I may upgrade to 3.5 or 4.0 or whatever comes next.

As far as the modem war going about in every conversation, in every thread...I'd say I would have to side with JK4, its been the best on every rom I've used as far as data and signal goes. Just my two cents.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Larger text for battery stat

I've been trying to recompile the framework with larger icons for the battery in order to get the circle batteries working, but had only partial success. Instead, I redid the battery icons to have a larger text (it is actually larger than the default in the circle icons). It's pretty much as large as it would get with this framework.

NOTE: This is based on the original Phoenix 3.0 framework, so if you applied other themes they will get erased.
[Captivate Android Development] darkovin:
Lol, I use a vent mount right now, and get so-so on GPS. Been the best on Phoenix ROMs, but never perfect. The reason for the 'lol' os that I JUST ordered a windshield mount from Newegg ( http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875998664 ) in the hopes that that might help.

Just FYI, I too use CoPilot.

Edit: Don't know if this matters, but I drive a dodge minivan, so decent slope on windshield, so Cappy has ok view of sky.

Rubber case

I have a rubber case (not plastic coated with rubber that snaps together) on my Captivate. I set it in my instrument panel in front of the tachometer. The rubber case holds it in place great. I don't use the tachometer much while driving anyway. You can get these rubber cases on ebay or Amazon for about $3-$5, including shipping.

Hey guys, sorry about the ghost act. Got kinda tied up lol. For those that wanted the stock dialer it is posted with the rest of the dialers in the theme thread. There is also a grey/red version that that might need a little tweeking so feel free to let me know what you think.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
That sounds interesting, 1 problem though. I use my phone as my pmp. I connect a 3.5mm to it and that would be in the way hanging down and all. it also wouldnt reach my charger.. I still haven't found the perfect solution.

One of the themes had a battery status notification with two bars, one above the number, and one below the number, that changed colors as the battery level increased. You may be able to shrink that enough for this framework.

I am running Phoenix 2.0 with SetiroN's 1.5.6 overclocked at 1200 and the stock phoenix modem (JK3 I believe), along with Cozmic76 theme (I had to install GingerMix first to get the voicemail notification to work). Everything is working outstanding, so I am afraid to change anything. Many thanks to Adam and the team for all your hard work.

I live in the country and was on the phone the other day for over an hour. I watched the signal strength bars randomly change from 3 bars, to 2, to 1, to 0, fairly rapidly with no affect on my call quality. I kept the phone in one spot, and it kept changing. It seemed as if the signal indicators had no idea how much signal strength I had, and was just guessing. :) So, I don't pay attention to the bars unless I drop a call, which has not happened to me at all with this setup. Actually, when I first installed 2.0, I installed a Glitterballs kernal and had several dropped calls. I could not talk on the phone for more than a few minutes. I changed to the SetiroN 1.5.6 kernal, and have never had that problem again. The GPS works great, along with wifi and call quality. (I have not tried Bluetooth yet.)

Nice work

Hi all. I flashed 1.5 last night and have been mucking around with it this morning (NZ time). It's nice. And I dig being able to import contacts from a vcf file on the SD card!

There are a few little things to tweak for the 'look & feel' (the battery icon, consistent colours in the notifications / status bars), but I'm sure they'll be tided up. And after all, when most other folk were getting drunk on New Year's Eve, Adam, DG and others were hard at work getting Phoenix away from its Vibrant base. Consistent colours and the battery icon probably weren't the top priorities. :) Gentlemen, I salute you all. (Ladies too of course, if any were involved.)

But I have found one weird thing...

My external SD contains MP3s and JPGs, and this has always been fine in the past (including Phoenix 1). But now with 1.5, Music Player has no problem with the MP3s, but Gallery isn't seeing the JPGs. Root Explorer sees them ok.

Is this a bug in the ROM, or the Gallery, or the user? :D
