I've been talking myself out of reflashing for a good 2 weeks now. I finally give in to my own selfish desires.. and back up everything... charge up....then I read the last few pages of the thread of the rom I decided to try this time. Then the bomb hits... newer better coming soon. Now i have to retalk myself out of reflashing long enough for 3.5 to hit! Curse you flaming bird squad!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
This is the friendliest XDA thread I've ever seen (even though no one answered my questions a few posts back). I guess having a Captivate just makes you HAPPY!

That's OK...at least no one yelled at me for asking a question. :-)
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
LOL, yeah, maybe you have to donate to be noticed:p

You should have seen us TILT users on the PHOENIX ROM WINDOWS 6.5 site a couple of years ago...now those were crazy times...
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Maybe someone knows this one:

I thought I had read a while back about an issue with the stock bar code scanner not working....did anyone catch the fix for that issue??
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Sorry guys the way this thread moves it is hard to keep up with all the questions. So I will take some time right now to answer them. As far as the Kernel goes I cant really say as I have never had a reason to use it.

Post any questions and ill answer them as best i can. And no you dont have to donate to get answers
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
What was your question? Sometimes they don't get answered because the answer isn't known...or it's late and the appropriate people to answer aren't online.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
That was fixed by replacing the email apk from the FAQ for 2.5 and was fixed in 3.0 and was posted a few times in the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
No I have not seen much of a difference. Happy I answered you. with out you giving me money? Stop your complaining if your question did not get answered, you could flash and find out for yourself. Does complaining really get you places?
[Captivate Android Development] xtremekilla09:
I know it can feel like that sometimes, but this ROM has the best support around.

As for your question on TIBU, I have backed up and restored spare parts successfully. No problems here

I will be doing a baseline test on all kernels with phoenix soon, so look out for that.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
wuussssaaa:D
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
lol. just so much negativity. Now wheres my money :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Kernel choice/performance will vary by phone but I have had better results with the speedmod kernel with regard to battery.
[Captivate Android Development] JoeDV:
I've never had an issue with tibu not restoring an app, including spare parts.
[Captivate Android Development] mykull:
dude i love your sig! lol
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
The fix was with the email apk and it has been incorporated.
[Captivate Android Development] disellusional:
please include a battery test (with OV/UC and speedmod tweaks)

that would be greatly appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] kb9nvh:
I did TILT and then TILT2 and now the captivate. At least on the TILTs you just had to hardspl and then no worries about flashing after that. Here you have to reflash stock, re-root, then install clockwork something or other...three button reset, reload applications, then wait for a blue or green menu (I always get a red one), choose your "zip" file that you loaded on your internal SD card not to be confused with your external SD card.

I contributed to NRG just before I left and I paid up a few times to twopumpchump when he was doing Kiaser. He stopped cooking I guess.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
K well here is your money but I want my 99 cents change. Just playing, at times I cant help myself:D
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Yeah I have not heard from TPC in a long while myself. Last I heard me him and Josh were working on a tilt 2 rom but then poof he was gone lol
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Sorry I am tired and couldn't find original post with the problem so I quoted yours hoping they will see but the problem is that they are likely trying to restore from a backup which the rom had installed spare parts as a system app. Simply downloading the app from the market would allow the data to be restored.
[Captivate Android Development] dingokevin:
your the man Zel lol. :D
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Looks like the old WinMo crowd is rolling in now lol.

OK am I stupid? Kies / Mount usb in 3.0?

Hello,

So I can't seem to find the way to mount usb in 3.0...

I see Kies and I installed it on my pc, still dunno if I am getting it to sync...

BUT either way I NEED to be able to mount usb so I can just drag n drop all file types and so on.

Please HELP!!

How do I mount USB like you can in Android normally?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
GO into settings...applications...development and put a check in debugging mode. then plug in usb and pull the notification bar down and mount away
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Actually I do...I think those who want a stock/custom rom will stay with what ever comes out on it..as well as those who are after a fresh asop build...hell...people are flash happy these days...2.3 is nice..and has a lot of new features..but we will never have an official release put out for our Captivates..They have brand new Androids coming for that...but we will get it here eventually in time..if we are still running these phones and not migrate to the daul cores..I see those who get some of the new ones already on AT&T's sight being the most pissed off...it will be worse for them waiting for 2.3 to be out officially...just like it is for us waiting on 2.2...and by that time..the 1.4 & 1.6's will be out...along with 2 gigs dedicated...and 32 gig internal cards and external..and 1080p out put...That's when things really start getting interesting...then the leap to quad cores on smaller chips will happen..and we see 3d get forced on us...since they can't really sell that technology on big screens..like they wanted..

[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
For those having shut down issues >>> I did the first day, but after applying the Haptic fix it seems to have solved that. No issues for 3 days since. I was getting some FC issues with LauncherPro, as well as a weird issue with the app tray button becoming a home button and locking up. Haptic fix corrected this.

Weird thing I've seen in the AM >>> Unplug at 100%. I show 100% in the house. I drive to work and lose 6% in 20 - 30 mins. I think there is some WiFi drain going on during that time. I don't see that issue when I have WiFi active. At work now with WiFi on, and battery drain is back to normal.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Hmmmm, wonder why on my phone I get TERRIBLE speeds on JPP modem?
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
Will the haptic be fixed on 3.5

captivate phoenix 1.5
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
No, you do not have to donate to get noticed. I am on here all day every day but I needed some rest last night. I do still work FT and am working on my Masters in IT. I am a very tired person.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Yes it is fixed in 3.5. :D
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Kaiser/Tilt here.

Although the procedures here seem a little simpler, I find myself flashing too damn much. When I had my Tilt I would flash a rom...then use it. I might check back in a month or two to see if there were any new flavors, with my Cap I am flashing weekly.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Everyone that is still troubled with poor battery life MUST remember to try changing the Wi-fi sleep policy

Steps to change sleep policy

Wi-Fi sleep policy

When screen turns off
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That has been fixed in 3.0.
[Captivate Android Development] upNsmokeAllDay:
Anyone that is curious about a 3.5 release wil be happy to know that it is now in the hands of the beta testers. I myself would like to test it atleast untill friday evening and then go for a saturday public release if no bugs are found if that is ok with Adam.
[Captivate Android Development] guccit3ll3m:
So pumped about 3.5 .....im still on 1.5 right now ...I have been holding out bc I found myself flashing weekly lol..axura and now phoenix both made me addicted to my device

captivate phoenix 1.5
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
Hey Zell:

Don't know how to send attachments via PM...so I figured I would try it here..Here's the apk you needed for the dialer...

Thanks Bro

Mac
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Adam,

I was just gonna toss on 3.5.. Whats up? Did not get a PM from you.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Heads up

Version 3.5 will be running the JPP modem. I know some do not get great results with that modem in regards to ul/dl speeds but boy do I get great GPS when paired with the GPS cocktail I chose to implement. I tested a fresh install of 3.5(haha) and the first lock took six seconds(in my house) and the first and second tracking sessions were flawless(yes network assistance was turned off;) ). It is very easy to flash an alternate modem. I will not be putting out an alternate release with a different modem. Just an FYI.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
In a respectful awe.. I have no idea how you do it either Adam. I wish I could keep up with you!! (more likely I'm just getting old)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I have no idea either. I think I will be taking a vacation after 3.5 comes out. Only a few days though. I just need a breather.
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Some bandwidth stats from my server.

Pretty easy to tell when you release a new ROM

Day	All Traffic (Megabytes)

1	1.2 GB

2	1.1 GB

3	2.5 GB

4	12.2 GB

5	1.7 GB

6	30.8 GB

7	31.1 GB

8	24.6 GB

9	22.6 GB

10	4.3 GB

11	1.6 GB

12	2.2 GB

Bandwidth chart for the 7th. Looks like it had an average cruising speed of 4-5 Mbit for the entire day.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I guess it is pretty easy to tell. thanks for the update. I will try and balance across the 3 servers we have when it is final release time.

Edit: I may even put up a fourth mirror to maximize DL time for the new comers we seem to be getting. That will make everyone happy.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
So wallpaper images are just plopped down onto the filesytem right? Where?
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
A little vacation sounds nice to me as well... I think I'll take one after 3.5 comes out also ;)
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Good to hear, I may try it until 3.5 is released...thanks
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
I am running 3.0, with the issue, minor issue, so I may just reflash.....
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Naw, no complaints...just my way to elicit a response...:D...or is that illicit...or...NM
[Captivate Android Development] redsst:
Will the 850 band be enabled by default? I flashed JPP on 3.0 and can not get it into 850.
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
Naw, the issue is probably worse than that, as several apps are not getting restored...I will just re-download the stuff and/or contact the developer of TIBU.

KUDOS!!! to all....I went from COG to perception, to AUXURA and now I am stuck on PHOENIX........;)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
It is enabled by default on mine but for some it will not be. If it is not on yours, just flash the jk4 and then flash jpp if you choose. That "should" fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] RyanFromQA:
Well I think the wallpapers that are found under "wallpaper" in the launcher are actually stored inside Launcher.apk, so the easiest thing to do is make a Picasa Web Album for your wallpaper and choose your wallpaper from the Gallery.
[Captivate Android Development] lanisan:
lol.. using illicit to elicit ehh ;)
[Captivate Android Development] keller.jeff:
That's why I recommended a torrent :D
[Captivate Android Development] xalman:
Kernel

first off, excellent work adam and team phoenix.. I've been reading this thread since post one... i don't kid when i say that i'm addicted to it!! well, the OP did mention something about the ROM being addictive LOL keep up the great work guys..

just had one question about 3.5.. will it be running the new FireBird 2.0?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Nope, no torrents here. I think 4 servers will be more than enough:D

More than most people use too!
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
I have gotten a few people to convert there crappys to phoenix and make them galaxy s phones :)
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
That is excellent news. I cant believe the success we have gotten with this ROM. It is unbelievable!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
The only guaranteed method for enabling 850 on jpp that is proven to work every time is to:

Flash stock using odin

Flash jg8 modem

Flash rom with jpp modem

Hopping around to other modems and back to jpp after this will kill 850 as well.

For some this is not an issue as they are in areas where 850 is not utilized by AT&T but for others jpp will cause headaches if they try using it without following these steps.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Can you please get those instructions to Zel for the faq and install instructions.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
You are a very good dev!:) please keep up the good work!
[Captivate Android Development] ShannonPricePhoto:
Is this the only way? I have always had it on NEVER.

And never lost 10% in 30 min
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I have it on never as well. I have zero battery issues and usually go a day to a day and a half without a charge and I test like a mad man.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I will shoot him a pm.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Thank you much sir!
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
Have you ever calibrated your battery? And is your gps on? You caj actually get gps through wifi networks as well. Go to settings-location and security and it shouod be there
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
adam,

I flashed back to stock then to 3.0, still getting message not sent. Where can I change the message center number at?
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
COmpletetly unrelated but the us celluar just released the official 2.2 froyo update.

Not that I would even go back to stock if att did.
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
That sucks having to do this...:rolleyes:

Mac
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Please try the stockk MMS apk. You are the only one with this issue and I can not reproduce it. Also, if you are using the current MMS, which I think you are, there is no message center #.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I know it sucks, but until a different modem comes out that works great with the GPS like JPP I can not possibly see myself switching it for the release. I hope you can understand that.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
So that means the no wipe version will only be for people that dont use 850?

D: gps is awesome on 3.0 here.
[Captivate Android Development] ShannonPricePhoto:
No gps...

Made about 20 texts this morn is all.

I recal the batt after loading 3.0 charging,wiping,charging,wiping a few times now.

I'm running it exactly as I got 3.0

Afraid to try any mods to it, gps is fanphuckingtastic!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
You can always just flash another modem and not mess with jpp if you have one you are happy with.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
How do I know if i need the 850 band
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I don't know how up to date this is but here is a map http://www.cellularmaps.com/att_850_1900.shtml

Or you can always see what you are connected to by using *#0011# in the dialer
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
is there any difference between the 850 band and 1900 in terms of speed?

my area has both
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
850 offers higher ul speeds.
[Captivate Android Development] :
I flashed 3.0 and battery life is pretty bad compared to cognition. How can I improve battery life? Also, wifi seems to not always connect when the phone comes out of sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] JacenSolo2001:
Grabbed the stock mms, replaced with root explorer - rebooted - same issue - message not sent, anyone have any other suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Cognition is not based on 2.2.1 which is a work in progress. I myself have excellent battery with 3.0 and the same with 3.5. Wifi is not an issue for me either. Therefore I can not test out different solutions.
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
Thanks,

I will just flash to stock and do the method previously posted.

To combat the annoying people. I have really good battery life ^^
[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Nice link. That might help explain my signal drop issue. I'm in West/Central Texas, in an area that barely has 1900 or 850. Honestly I'm lucky I have data service at all. :P

In NC right now about a mile from a device support center, going there at lunch and see if I can get another phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I am glad your battery is good as well. My wife's sucks, but she literally has about 10 apps running in the background at a time. She does not understand the concept of closing an app after she is done with it.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
yea i wanted to know the same thing Adam. I couldn't get it enabled either when I tested it last night

Kudos for pursuing your masters man I know it's not easy especially working full time. I definitely appreciate your time your putting into all of this.

sidenote: adam does a amazing job and trying to get this gps to work along with the others that have been working at it it's super said that such a great device is hindered so badly but such a terrible gps to bad we can't do like some type of class action lawsuit against samsung for a subpar working gps. This just isn't a captivate issues I remember a lot of there old windows mobile phones have terrible gps also and a lot of there other android devices. It's pretty sad. Hopefully in the newer models of the phones they will just use whoever htc uses to do gps and cut out there current gps provider cuz they suck BIG TIME.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
First suggestion would be to flash the speedmod kernel. It seems to provide better results for those whose phones don't get along with the included one.
[Captivate Android Development] cy-rock:
Hi,

Couldn't find a widget for the music player integrated to the rom...anybody?

thx,
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
you should setup auto task manager for her that was the first thing i set up on my wife's cappy it works wonders and i've been using it the last few days set it up to kill the apps after the screen has been sleep for 10+ seconds it's worth checking out
[Captivate Android Development] meyesme:
Absolutely loving 3.0...this just gets better and better every release! Nice work to all involved!

I do have a question though. Is it just me or does the "thumb and index finger" pinch/zoom on the browser not work? I swore it did on Eclair...
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I agree with the class action but do not see anything coming of it. So far 3.5 has excellent GPS for me. It did not lose me at all last night or this morning and I went from back woods to city, top speed of 80 mph(testing purposes) and zero to 60 tests to check for any lag. Could not break the damn thing. I updated the GPS files again in 3.5. Just changed a few of them out for you guys.
[Captivate Android Development] ShannonPricePhoto:
Just cause I didn't ask a 850 band question I'm annoying?..
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
That's funny cause my wife if the same. She complains constantly about her battery life, I won't respond any more,i just say"no problems here"

Sent from my SuperDuper!Captivate | PHOENIX RISING BETA TESTER | FireBird Kernel
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
It does not work at this time. Not a bug per say, but I will look into it.
[Captivate Android Development] nissy86:
3.5? Where can i get it? :D My captivate is getting itchy now.
[Captivate Android Development] Mac11700:
No Adam...I honestly can't understand this...

I see only problems ahead for all of the new folks to flashing roms...

I'll say no more...

Take Care

[Captivate Android Development] redeuxx:
I like them especially the variety. I'm currently using the black dialer. I wish there were plain colored ones in addition to the ones with the color gradients.

Much thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
I just cant see putting out a ROM without a modem that seems to greatly improve GPS. It just doesn't make any sense. I think more people rely on GPS than a higher UL speed. could just be me though. Maybe I will do two releases than, one with speed mod kernel(bc it is popular right now) and the jk4 modem and one with my set up as it works wonderfully for me. How about that? We have 4 servers so downloading wont be an issue. If so I wil lput it together now and get it to the testers as well.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
I am unaware of the details surrounding the "850" modem topic. Can someone summarize the issue (s) that resulted in the 850 topic? Trying to round out my understanding.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
The 850 topic is related to the JPP modem I found works really well with this ROM and its GPS functionality. For most it will not give the option to enable the 850 band without first flashing the JG8 modem and the JPP on top of it.

I hope this helps you understand it a bit better.
[Captivate Android Development] Keland44:
nice lookin forward to putting it to good use

lol @ top speed of 80 mph for testing purposes.
[Captivate Android Development] RyanFromQA:
It would seem that the modem included in 3.0(?) and 3.5, the "JPP" modem, is not compatibile with AT&T's very prevalent 850Mhz band. At least, if you directly implement the JPP modem by flashing 3.0 (and 3.5?) over a stock Captivate ROM, the 850Mhz band will not be enabled.

For many (myself included) 3G voice and data is dependent on the 850Mhz band which, to my knowledge, only AT&T and Rogers use. It depends on the area of the country in which you live. However, according to the maps posted, the entire state of Florida supposedly uses the "other" frequency (1900Mhz) for voice calls. I have found from personal experience that this is not true. I have an unlocked T-Mobile dumbphone which uses only the 1900MHz band. This phone gets much more spotty reception, and often gets no reception at all (out of doors, in buildings, it doesn't matter) compared with a phone that uses 850Mhz.

You can check your phone's current preferred band by dialing *#*#0011#*#*.

Apparently, if one flashes back to stock, flashes the jg8 modem, THEN flashes Phoenix, it should use the 850MHz band. I am waiting for 3.5 to try Phoenix so I can't tell you if any of this is true or not.
[Captivate Android Development] berean:
Hello Adam,

Are you including the secgps GPS fix in the 3.5 ROM? I made this change on my phone. I just want to know if this is a helpful fix, or should it be ignored? My GPS was working well before, so I haven't noticed a difference. The GPS is working very good in the Phoenix builds for me. Thank you so much for your time.
