[Captivate General] JOLiu:
Thanks for both of your replies. I'm glad (sort of) to hear that I'm not the only one with this problem.

@mike parsons - I am in the same boat as you where I have missed critical work emails due to the phone not fetching my email. I also grudgingly agree that the iPhone mail client worked much better. The only thing I could do to get the email on the Captivate working again was to restart the phone. Even then, I sometimes had to restart 2-3 times before the emails were sent to the phone.
[Captivate General] 10ee:
I had this issue with stock Eclair 2.1 on my Rogers sourced Captivate SGH-I896 running Eclair 2.1-update 1.

It happened rarely with POP accounts, never with G-Mail, but with Exchange ActiveSync it was disastrous. I set up and configured this, and with my old Windows Phone 6.0 it did this maybe five times in 18 months.

During the off-time between Christmas and New Years it only received e-mail properly on ActiveSync two days out of eight. I didn't get much e-mail during that time either.

Sometimes it helps if I manually changed it from automatic (push) to every 15 minutes and hit "refresh" but most often it did not. The only fix was to remove the ActiveSync account and re-establish it, and it would work fine for a week or so until it started doing this again.

Another thing that seemingly affected it, was how much e-mail I would sync. It would happen quicker if I sync'd the last month of e-mail versus let's say one or two weeks.

I had run Cognition 2.3B7 without a hitch for about a week and a half and it never happened.

I just upgraded to the stock Froyo 2.2 and I'm hoping this isn't an issue with the upgraded client.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Use k9 mail. This is lots better than stock.
[Captivate General] JOLiu:
@diablo009 - thank you for the suggestion. However, I had the exact same problem using K9, so I am not sure what else I can try.
[Captivate General] diablo009:
Did u try configuring k9 to fetch mails at intervals? It would be "folder poll frequency" under account settings. Want to see if u did this too.

Also, some apps need "background data" to be enabled in settings. Is that set? Same question about "auto-sync" being turned on.
[Captivate General] JOLiu:
Thanks for the suggestions - yes, I had tried different folder poll frequencies on K9 - 1 minute, 5, minutes, 15, minutes, and so on. However, there are still times when I won't receive an email for hours even though K9 is set to poll much more frequently. I will only learn of this when I check my mail through my home or work computer. In fact, on occasions like this (when I learn that phone hasn't downloaded the new messages), I will go into K9 (or the email app) and hit either refresh or check mail. Even in these situations, the new mail won't show up on the phone until I restart the phone completely. Again, I had this problem both on stock Eclair as well as on Assonance 5.2.

Also, I had enabled "sync server deletions" on K9, but messages still don't consistently get deleted from the server.

Lastly, background sync and auto sync are both enabled in settings.

Thanks for the fast response.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rickysa2000:
Just use the adb tools.. Should be a folder called Tools containing adb.exe

Once you have it,

from command prompt go to the folder and then start typing commands to the phone, with the phone connected to PC using debug mode.

For instance > adb devices

It should show the device connected to the PC

So i been wanting to use MiUi for the longest time but i have no HDPI device :(

so i did my own research and came up with this

video- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NV1Ngirei6I

My own very MiUi on myTouch Slide :)

Ill show you how to do it ;)

Get This ADW Launcher by andmer - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=845376

I used these icons - http://www.droidforums.net/forum/team-d1-miui/104197-launcherpro-miui-icons.html

and thats it :)

1st. place the icons (after you d\l and extract) on your sd card

2nd. install and set the ADW launcher from up there^^^

as default launcher

3rd. once you have set up ADW, press menu> adw settings> UI Settings> AB

Size> change to 13 (otherwise icons will be too big and look blurry)

4th. go back to ADW main setting then go to General Behavior> Swipe Up

Actions> click Open/Close App Drawer

5th. Click home

6th. any icon you are gonna use (for dock or on homecreen) drag out of app

drawer (by swiping up) and place on home screen.

7th. Long Click App Icon then let go a window should pop-up tittled "Custom

Shorcut" click on the picture of the icon

8th. Once you click icon picture another pop up window will show tittled "Select

Icon Type" click "Select Picture"

9th. Navigate thru your gallery and find the MiUi Icons and select the icon you

wish to use.

10th. Drag icon to dock (if using it for dock) or leave on home screen.

This should give you the MiUi Look

-MiUi Player is found on Cyanoginger Rom - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=886589

Please help us see if there is a correlation between the P/N & country and origin and the screen found in the device (sharp type=1 & sony type=2) or whether we can possibly find a link between the S/N and the screen type.

Just a reminder for everyone not to participate in the poll unless they have VERIFIED their screen either through S-OFF hboot system info or DMESG command in terminal.

If you have an XB please reply with the info and I'll record it here instead of in the poll which can't be edited.

China 01 XB - Sony ==== 2 confirmed good

If possible reply with more information as follows:

I'll try to compile a list with this information. Currently it looks like HT stands for Taiwan and SH for China. RM stands for Black, T7 for Red.

Taiwan

China

Bad

[myTouch 4G General] bobsbbq:
Ok I have done some more comparison with regards to serial numbers and here is what I have found. I'm obviously not going to include the entire number but I think the important part is the first numbers and letters. This may or may not lead us to know if there is a chance to tell before opening a box. Please everyone help and perticipate and vote in the poll above as well as leave your information about your serial numbers and the OP can keep it updated.

2 units Taiwan (Bad SH Screen)

HT0B8RMxxxxx Black

HT0B9RMxxxxx Black

4 units China (Good SO Screen)

SH0BTT7 RED

SH0BPRM Black

SH0C8RM Black

SH0C4T7 Red

Now what I'm guessing is the HT stands for Taiwan

The SH stands for China

The 0 not sure could be origin.

I think the B or C might be the Month made? The last 2 New Retail units I have got are C leaves me thinking newer.

The next few digits not sure but I think the RM is definitely looking like Black color. T7 Is looking like Red Color.

Anyone else with help or theories please let us know.

I have 2 red mytouch phones both with the bad screen. One from China 00A and the other from Taiwan 01A. I called today and finally got through to someone who would exchange the color from red to black. Originally wanted black but had data issues with 2 black phones so I settled for red but came across the thread about the superior/inferior screen and decided I wanted a black one. The success rate for getting a good screen seems greater with the color black according to the other poll. They express shipped it out so I should be expecting it by Monday or Tuesday.

From what it seems my serial number should be good, right? The only complaint is the kinda squeaky back button, but no issues with FFC, battery case, etc. So from what I've read my phone should have a good screen cuz there's no other issues and similar S/Ns are good, panel type 2 screens. Guess I'll take it in.

I have no idea where it's from.
[myTouch 4G General] Mrdaviso:
Get us the numbers under battery minus last 5 of serial number if you could and it also shows there where its from but I bet its china being #shoa we just need the s/n, last 2 of p/n plus the floating digits after p/n

2009 Serial Numbers :

HT = Vendor HTC
Y = Year (9 = 2009)
M = Month (hex 1...C = 1 - 12 months)
D = Day (hex 1...9A..Z = 1 - 31 days)
YY = Part Code
ZZZZZ : Identification Number (decimal)

I heard a rumor there was a second manufacturer. Maybe HT is from HTC and the other someone else?

HT (manufacturer, in this case also country) 0 (year - 2010) M D YY (part code - color?)

Not sure if this matches, but looks very close! Looks like we guessed the right number of digits to ignore @ the end.

I wonder if the manufacturing date is any where in the system info or in hboot on a stock unrroted unit?
[myTouch 4G General] Ewout_vB:
I don't understand the day code though. They say it was 1-9 and then A-Z, that'd be 35 days if it goes to Z. We have a serial here with a Z. We also have an A and a 3, so this day code doesn't seem to match.

The only s/n & p/n difference noticed are the last 4 numbers of the s/n. All other numbers with the excpetion of the IMEI (of course) are the same.

BTW, the difference in quality is obvious. One can tell the difference as soon as the phone is powered up by looking at an angle when the myTouch splash comes on. I double checked my good screen with S-OFF LCD-SO-C2. FFC is a bit crooked to the right but everything else so far so good. I think it's a keeper....FINALLY! :)
