You may need to go with a rom built on at&t to get those services working. I have never used those, so i can't say for sure. Also, I've not seen this brought up on the phoenix thread before.

Try a search on the general development thread to see if people have that issue.

You may be able to fool it with some build.prop editing, but I wouldn't do it... You'll most likely break a lot more than you fix messing with that file...

Did you do any tweaks or new kernels/modems? I have found that 4.5 as is does great with the GPS. This can be phone dependent however.

Cannot download from Market

Hopefully someone can help?

Running FireFly 1.5, been fine since I flashed it 4 weeks ago or so.

Have downloaded a handful of apps since the custom ROM.

Haven't dowloaded anything from Market recently, until today.

At first I could not get Market to load. I cleared the Market cache, once via Applications, the other via SGS Tools. Reboot.

I can now get into Market, but download fails.

"A network error has occurred. Retry or cancel and return to previous screen"

I haven't been folllowing the Phoenix and FireFly threads for several weeks, though I recall someon posting that Google was revamping Market soon, and that custom ROM phones may have issues?
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Look in Advanced ULK features, look for BLN options
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Have you tried to download a different vending.apk?

or have you tried the market fix in SGS Tools?
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
I went in and youre talkin clockwork recovery right? if yes i dont see these options anywhere. heres what i see when i boot into recovery:

-reboot system now

-apply sdcard:update.zip

-wipe data/factory reset

-wipe cache partition

-install zip from sdcard

-backup and restore

-mounts and storage

-advanced

-voodoo lagfix

if i got to the "advanced" section i see the following:

-reboot recovery

-wipe dalvik cache

-wipe battery stats

-report error

-key test

-partition sdcard

-fix permissions

-restart adbd

-reboot to download mode

i dont know if this makes a difference but my letters are red. thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] tepickytoo:
Nope. It's all 4.5 stock. cud it be because of the gps app? Im using ndrive with satelite only. No wireless connectivity. Wud u recommend going back to stock then reflashing 4.5?
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
What kernel are you running?
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
If I had to guess you are running firebird kernel, unfortunately that option is not available in CWM.

My suggestion is to go to BLN control free app in app drawer and disable it from there, by unchecking Activate BLN...

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
it worked! thanks a lot :)
[Captivate Android Development] sl0v4k:
i am running:

2.6.32.9

FireBird #29
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
OK. Sounds like kaljr1980 solution above took care of your BLN being on.

Video out 4.5

I apologize. 4.5 has been so good for me that I have not been keeping up with the thread for the last week or so. I am not able to get video out to work. I seem to remember this is known and I thought there was a fix, but I can't seem to find it. Can anyone let me know if there is a video out fix for 4.5. Tks.

@#$%### @@#$%%$

After loving 3.5.... tonight the flash bug bit and I made a decision to flash 4.5....

#@#$#%$#%#

It crashed on line 11 ( whatever that means, maybe a corrupted d/load ????) and now I am stuck trying to get the PC to recognize the phone so I can copy a newly d/loaded 4.5 to the SDcard to try to flash over ...

I am stuck on the boot loop... but can get into CWM...

BTW... i tried restoring two different backups in CWM .. but no joy !

any suggestions ???

If you can get into download mode does Odin see the phone?
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
To be honest.. I have never used Odin, I am d/loading it now... Fingers crossed !

Thanks for reminding me to try it !
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
No joy.... it doesn't recognize it ~!

Looks like I will be making a jig !
[Captivate Android Development] coderunner:
open oden first. Then pull out your battery for a couple minutes then hold down volume up and volume down while plugging in the usb cable. That should put you in download mode and you can start odin.
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
If i could just get my pc to see the SD card, i could paste the rom and reflash using CWM.. ahhhh the frustration...

After multiple rom and too many kernel flashes.. I finally suffered the dreaded screen of death !
[Captivate Android Development] comdei:
download mode works 99.999 percent of the time...
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
If you are running Harcores kernel, if you are able to get to CWM and scroll down to the bottom, you will see advanced settings go there and there will be an option to reboot into download mode. And then from there use odin... This had happened to me a few times.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
Thanks.. I just can't get the PC to recognize it... I can get into download... but the pc comes up with USB Device Not Recognized...

I have installed the drivers 10 times.... very frustrated....:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] wmason92:
The exact same thing happened with me and no matter what people said about download mode adb would pick it up but not respond to commands and odin would not, but nothing would allow me to enter it or any button combo. The only thing you can do in this situation is make a jig. I found the easiest jig to make was buying 3 1/4 watt 100 omh resistors and cutting up a captivate charger. Sure it costs about 20 bucks but its better than having a paperweight.

Goodluck, i remember when it happened to me i was freaking out.
[Captivate Android Development] kaljr1980:
Try this.... Change usb ports on pc....

Close odin

Restart odin.... Let program load

Then after odin loads then get into download mode then insert usb to phone....

The key thing here is making sure odin is loaded first....

Hope this helps.

Previous post said it right.. The jig works
[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
Just another suggestion, restart you computer and try it again.

I had the same problem once before where no matter what I tried my comp wouldn't recognize my phone but after a restart it was fine.

Hope that works for ya.

Pc not seeing phone

I had the same thing happen to me for three agonizing days. I finally took the phone out of usb debug mode, turned off PC and connected the phone , turned the phone on, Turned the PC on and let it boot and it recognized the phone and reloaded everything. Might be worth a try.
[Captivate Android Development] keller.jeff:
I have this problem all the time on 64 bit windows 7. Just reinstall the usb drivers over top and it will refind the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] sboltman:
Cool!!! This fixed it. Thanks so much!

I assume this is permissions on some of the folders on the O/S? Changes to -rw-rw-rw ? Or is this a different permission issue? Why would it have been fine, then not? I have done only on ROM flash ever. And Market was fine after that flash.

Thanks again!

Battery Life after Battery Calibration

4.1's battery life was amazing using the Speedmod version K12-S or k-12P.

However, when I re-calibrated the battery (fully charging to 100%, wiping battery stats, and letting the battery run to zero before recharging to 100%), the battery life is SIGNIFICANTLY reduced. Where I could get 24 hours of juice, now I get a range of 12 to 16 hours max. Go figure. I just wanted to report that in case it could be an issue for development. Anyone else experience this?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
You might have a app going haywire. Try system panel to see whats running for awhile.

I installed the accuweather clock file from the samsung apps but the widget doesn't show up. Can anyone help me out? I tried rebooting but didn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Doesn't work with stock Phoenix launcher I believe. Try the touchwiz launcher from SGS tools.
[Captivate Android Development] ardyer:
I am having problems with maps/gps. It gets my location, but always says "Unable to get address." I tried doing a fresh reinstall of 4.5 after flashing back to JF6, and that didn't fix it. Gps worked fine in 4.1. Does any one have any ideas how I can fix this?

Edit: it appears to be a problem with google maps and when I uninstall the updates it works.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Okay I downloaded and installed Captivate SGS Tools and installed it. Loaded it up and went into upgrade Stock Apps. Next selected upgrade TW launcher. Now which one do I want?

So I believe this is what I need to do. Install the first TW launcher is in SGS then install the samsung accuweather app then go back into SGS tools and apply script to restore the stock launcher. Before I do this is this correct?
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
Pick one you think you would like, basically they are all "upgrades" to stock touchwiz and all should run with that weather widget.

Basically the ones with colored tiles means all the apps have colored tiles as background instead of black. I personally prefer the black. I usually end up picking the second one.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Sorry noob here with the android os. So I don't need to go back to stock after upgrading?
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
Thanks to everyone that offered help.... I finally made it to work today where the "OEM" USB cable was sitting on my desk and whammo..it worked....

Obviously the aftermarket cables must be missing "something"....

Now I just have to go back to the start as my Ti Backups where wiped out in the process !

Today I noticed Ryans OCLF ( How I originally rooted) is now a non root version.....

Does anyone have it handy ??

It will be a long night ..using eclair today just plainly sucked..... I now realise how spoiled I have been with Phoenix.... on the bright side.... I will now have 4.5 just in time for the Supernova realease ! :)

Thanks again to everyone... as crazy as I was going.. you were providing sanity !
[Captivate Android Development] indomikey:
No, click the upgrade you want, it will place it on your phone, and when you hit the home button, it will ask which launcher you want to use. Pick touchwiz, don't set as default yet, as you might want to take a look at what it looks like before setting it as default. To get back to the launcher chooser, just hit home again and it will ask again.

You may want to look around this post for the different looks of each one.

Thanks Zelendel...

Without all the helpful people on here... I would have a paper weight !
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
Glad you resolved it. What I would suggest for you, and others, is always keep the last good rom installer on the card. That way if you have a bad flag you go back to the old rom. Same for installing themes, always have a backup on the card in case you go to infinite loops

[Captivate Android Development] LightningGA:
.....and have a jig available before you ever need it. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I would not use OCLF. You could be asking for troubles, if you're installing a ROM with a different lag-fix enabled by default. If you NEED to root(No 3 button recovery) Use One Click Root. It works great.

Go to display properties and turn on TV Out using NTSC for TVs here in the States. Here is the kicker when plugging in your cable to the TV, put the red plug on the cable into the yellow video jack on the TV. White in white audio jack, yellow in red audio jack. I had this problem along time ago when I was on stock and it seems to not have changed. Hope this works.
[Captivate Android Development] anthesca:
Thanks for the feedback. Already did all of those things. 4.5 is the first ROM that it hasn't worked. Figured it was ROM specific issue.

SuperNova status?

I haven't seen much about SuperNova lately. I know Adam has been on a well deserved vacation and there were several items to work through but I'm curious what SuperNova is. Is the main difference from Phoenix 4.5 the fact that is based on an updated codebase - JS3 OR is it a first attempt at using a GingerBread code base? Phoenix 4.5 is the best yet and I'd rather wait on SuperNova until it has the same quality (or at least close...) but I'm also really wondering what it is. Since the name isn't even Phoenix I'm thinking it is something major like a port to GingerBread but I'm guessing...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Battery drain issue. I'm running 4.5 with the modem and kernel it came with. I charge it before I go to bed and when I wake up it's at 50%. I have background updates off, the gps off and the only thing on is wifi. I know modem and location play a big part so anyone from Northern California (Sacramento) have any suggestions for what modem and kernel work best in our area?
[Captivate Android Development] bleeman:
You might try changing your Wifi sleep policy setting from never to when screen is off, this made a tremendous difference for me

Settings/Wireless and Network/Wi-fi Settings.....then hit the haptic menu key at the bottom and choose Advanced/Wif-Fi sleep policy and change to When screen turns off
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
More than likely the source of your drain is the WiFi. No idea why some see this and others don't but I would disable it and see if that is your problem.

It would be nice if a real fix were found besides setting to turn off but I have not found one aside from not using an I9000 based Rom.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Thanks. I'll try both and see which works best for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
I would also flash the latest version of the speedmod kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I have been to the Themes and apps page but can't find a theme that meets my needs. Can someone explain what exactly I need to look for in other theme's, to be sure they work with Phoenix 4.5.

Once again I reiterate, I have vision issues and blue set on a black background is my visual spectrum. The red (orange) on black and green on black (VA) I've tried but not so good...for me.

This is the major reason I've rooted. to set the theme to a view I can see.

Aha, so this is another assumed (but not mentioned) deficit for all the i9000-based custom ROMs. :( I was afraid of that.

Would be really helpful if each of these ROMs stated everything that didn't work up-front and in the first post. No assumptions, even if it's redundant.

[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
Just an odd question. Is it necessary to keep "reloaded" in the name? Isn't it implied that it is reloaded by the version (i.e. 1.5 or 2.0)?
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
It is part of the Samsung framework best I can tell. On an i9000 there's only 2 buttons and they are easy to find so there's no need to light them. I've been diving in and trying to find exactly which part of the framework is causing this, but so far it is slow going.
[Captivate Android Development] sremick:
I understand, and I understand why... I just wish these issues were kept together and up-front on the first post of each ROM instead of assuming the users coming to the thread already know about them.

It's getting to the point where everyone assumes everyone knows that a certain dozen things don't work on any i9000 ROM that a newbie can read an entire ROM's discussion thread and never see any mention of them. Just a suggestion to keep this information on top. ;)

I've not flashed any custom ROM (I'm still on stock) but I try to keep tabs on the goings-on and progress here, and it's getting harder because key info for the newcomer is getting buried amongst all the noise (much of it is 100 pages of IM-chat quality discussion just anticipating a new version before it's released... heh... but that's another issue. ;) ). Knowing what doesn't work is an important factor in my and others' decision-making before deciding whether to even enter into the ROM-flashing game in the first place.

So, again I ask: what's the full and complete list of all functions (coming from stock Captivate) that are known to not work with this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
Downloading and flashing 2.0 now. Wont br able to post findings until I get back.from work around 9pm. See you then.

A no data wipe version of the rom would solve this and eliminate assumptions on which files are being replaced by the theme.

[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
I fully encourage and empower you to create a new post and ask the mods to make it sticky that relate these issues. It would help everyone out, as many ROMs are using i9000 as their base.
