Will do, I appreciate it.
[Captivate General] hamburgertrain:
I am getting strange battery life.. I'm running kp1 modem with andromeda and speed mod kernel, and my battery will not last me a day with light usage. (some xda browsing, tweetdeck, texting) I've deleted battery stats and fully discharged and then recharged and that is what these screen shots are from. Any ideas?
[Captivate General] DeMarzo:
Well for what ever reason, a Kernel/Modem/ROM setup on one device might not have the same "Super Battery Sipper" effects on another.. It's all about trying out what works best for YOUR device.

So start playing with Kernel/Modem combo's unless you want to change your ROM.

Unfortunately there is no set science for some reason
[Captivate General] Milkshakes00:
If you're using an older version of speedmod, make sure the battery tweaks are enabled under the recovery menu.
[Captivate General] hamburgertrain:
I've tried everything, I've used jpy, jj4, and ji6 based roms, cognition, perception, andromeda, cezars... And I am using the most up to date kernel from hardcore. I'm using the kp1 modem for now but I've tried all the other modems and only jk4, jl2 and jk3 work well. I'm also using the lowest brightness setting and juice defender. I get about a day out of out with light usage..
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterbladez:
my lack of knowledge/terminology been sitting here for hours trying to root my phone with no luck. I know it is doable through ADB but I tried installing it and it didnt work. I tried the one click root method too but when it gets to the "repackage files" step, I just plain don't have the option on the menu, here are the options

reboot system now

apply sdcard:update.zip

wipe data/factory reset

wipe cache partition

format internal sd card

when I press the update.zip it says unverifiable whatever. ( not in the mood to reboot it just for this)

is there anything on here that actually is just straight up for a beginner?

I am completely confused past this point.

Try using Superoneclick v1.5.5
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] t1mman:
You're on jl2 right?

Problem is: Recovery 3e is verifiing signature on update.zip file, you'll have to get on Recovery 2e in order to root from an unsigned update.zip.

you can probably use the search fonction to find the "how To" easely. It took me less than 10 minutes gettings mine rooted.

Personnaly, all I did is flash another kernel with Odin

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] butterbladez:
K So I upgraded to the kernel you told me to and it booted up normally I have my market back and the superuser permissions but when I press superuser permissions it doesnt show anything other than settings which only have two trivial options.

what do I do from here.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] spectre85:
That is fine if you have the superuser app show up, that means it's rooted. You won't see anything in there until an app needs superuser permission. Download titanium backup when you first boot it you well be prompted for superuser access click allow then next time you go into superuser app you will draw titanium backup in the list.

+1 for SuperOneClick

I'm on JL2 i9000m too and rooted with SuperOneClick.
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] NargalaX:
Sup guys, I've got the Bell I9000M in Canada aswell, bought it less than a month ago, and I am not on JL2.

I, instead am on JK4.

What do I have to do to root my JK4 I9000M?

Any replies would be helpful. In the end, I would love to be able to get Darkys Rom on my phone, but no one responds in that thread nor does anyone really know what to do with my phone version.

If anyone could help me out, that would be great. Thanks :)
[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ThatHatGuy:
Help pls :(

OK so to start off i had this samsung galaxy s GT-I9000M from bell and i was trying to upgrade it so that my sister could use a newer version of android and not the boring v.2 . ANYWAYS I rooted it then reboot it and it was stuck at the splash screen so i thought it was stuck and i searched for a way to fix it which was to get the PDA PHONE CSC and PIT files and put them in odin and hope for the best. well that turned out horribly wrong. i ended up getting the phone stuck in some boot loop where it flashes a white screen and turns of and it does this constantly :crying::crying::crying: I can still get to download mode but not recovery mode for some reason...... PLS HALP
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jlopez512:
It always restarts automatically, when i make a call, the call just freezes and when i turn the phone on from standby to see what happen, well you guessed it, it restarts! its pretty annoying i went through 2 batteries today in 8 hours, because of the restarts. please help! :confused::confused::mad:
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] laie1472:
If your using the stock kernel I think its overclocked to 768 not sure though. Try one of dec's 691 kernel the #589 is my recommendation. Hope it helps good luck.

Root-Hack-Mod-Always™
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
There could be a lot of things happening. The most common is that your running a clock speed higher than that which your phone can handle. Not all heros are created equal, mine for instance starts rebooting at anything higher than 691. Try a different kernel or if using setcpu or over clocking widget to lower your upper end clock speed. Your phone freezing when coming out of standby can mean your lower clock speed is too low. ASOPGB has JIT enabled by default as well. Go into the settings and turn it off, then reboot. You will just have to play until you find out what works for you. Good luck!
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] il Duce:
Set cpu or similar will not fix the issue, laie was right a capped 691 kernel is needed and probably a capped recovery as well. Btw jit is no longer default in gb, and jit would not cause reboots anyway.

sent from my hero, which no longer sucks ass
[Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] runngwlf:
Ahh thanks for the info, I had not gotten through all the new posts on the other ASOP GB threads. Good to know though. I have no tried out the rom, I plan to this weekend and my phone does NOT like kernels that clock above 691.
[Captivate General] Radukk:
I mean, we would get Infuse 4G in this spring. However that is not Galaxy S 2, just overclocked Captivate with better screen. Rumors confirmed that new Galaxy S series will come with Orion processor that is duelcore hummingbird. I know android OS and apps are not optimized to duel core so it could be useless battery hog until it get honeycomb.

But most concerning point is Infuse 4G will come with froyo and take time forever to get gingerbread, it is really dealbeaker. Also Infuse 4G will have no international brother like i9000 which is our ROM source.

Should I end up contract to AT&T and move on other carrier?
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Given Galaxy S2 is still under tight wrap waiting to be announced at MWC, it is too early to talk about whether or not AT&T will get it.

Officially, Galaxy S2 does not even exit. So how do you know AT&T won't get it.

So far, the only Android OS I saw that mentioned dual-core support is HoneyComb (3.0) which is only for tablet. Gingerbread does not support dual core. So, having a dual core phone right now is quite useless, the other half will just stay unused.
[Captivate General] leetpriest:
Go to t-mobile and quit samsuck completely. AT&T is terrible with Android support, and Samsuck.....well......they suck. That is unless you want your phone to be a statistic in the Samsuck fragmentation universe.
[Captivate General] Mac11700:
T-mobile sucks in this area...so that really isn't a good alternative IMHO...and I have absolutely no idea what you are saying about the fragmentation..There really isn't any carrier that doesn't suck...they all do...some just more than others in some areas...

Mac
[Captivate General] firehazard:
lol @ relying on a carrier to provide OS support. Do it yourself. XDA is here for a reason.

[Captivate General] vizir:
there are rumors of the nexus s coming for at&t.

engadget dot com/2011/01/27/nexus-s-coming-in-a-new-atandt-flavor/

and at&t itself has said that this year they'll be bringing a lot of top end android phones (not gimping them to make iphone look superior). a good side-effect of them losing iphone exclusivity.

i'd wait for feb14-17 for the mobile world conference to get a better idea of which phones are coming.
[Captivate General] cdwhit:
Personally, the Captivate is the last Samsung product I'll buy, and probably the last product I'll buy from A**. The way I was ripped off on this phone by the customer support will survive in my memory for AT LEAST the duration of this contract. I don't care WHAT Samsung comes up with.
[Captivate General] derek4484:
I'm with you on that. Samsuck is dead to me. As soon as the Atrix or Optimus 2X hits AT&T I'm ditching my Captivate immediately.

I would like to leave AT&T too, but where I live, they have the best 3G speeds. With HSDPA/HSUPA enabled I get 2Mb down/1.5 Mb up. Verizon here cant touch that. Everybody at work has VZW and they get about 700kb up and down.
[Captivate General] rpicaso:
Here, here!
[Captivate General] MikeyMike01:
Unless it's the Nexus S, don't buy a Samsung anything. You'll regret it.
[Captivate General] cdwhit:
A nrw OS does not fix a broken phone. Even with the best OS, the bad phones turn themselves off and the GPS stays flakey. Thats not to mention that you're risking your warantee and the folks that bricked their phones upgrading. I have changed ROMS but for a top of the line smart phone, you shouldn't have to.
[Captivate General] thecellx:
Very Good Phone

im far away from ATT so i dont know how its support works. For me the Captivate is the best phone ive ever had. I dont have any complains about it. And is even better with the great roms available here on XDA. iphone 4 lovers hate me when i show them all the things i can do... Sure there probably are better phones... but i dont see a reason to change mine for a while.
[Captivate General] ScubaMedic:
This will be my last Samsung as well. Thankfully Andromeda 1.0 makes it a usable phone to get me through this contract.
[Captivate General] MexicanAmerican:
Yeah, the GPS leaves a lot to be desired. I've managed to finally get a ROM/Kernel/Modem combination that is stable, and can keep a GPS lock.

The only other Samsung phone I had prior to this was the WinMo Blackjack. Back then I didn't know enough about smartphones to be aware that it was horrible.

But, hey, I got my Captivate for free. Christmas present from my girlfriend, and she only paid $70 for the phone, screen protector, and 16 gig microSD card. So, I can't complain too much.

I am grateful to the Captivate, though. Without it, I wouldn't have learned about Android, and what true customization is all about.
[Captivate General] rob989_69:
Honestly not hating on you dude, but you should buy an IPhone. If you want something that works out of the box and you don't have to mess with that's the way to go. EVERY Android handset out there requires tweaking to some degree or another. And every other manufacturer has their own issues.

Samsung has a bit of a track record of not updating and now the GPS issues. But Motorola gets you a locked boot loader. LG currently doesn't have a real competitor in the US yet. HTC just took the EVO and rebadged it for Verizon and AT&T, not to mention the Desire HD for the rest of the world.

I'm not overly thrilled with the Captivate. It's a great phone, but the lack of support from Samsung (cmon, at&t may have it's faults but they have little to do with the lack of an update or support, they just sell phones, my opinion of course.) The biggest issue for me is GPS. I do have a standalone unit for trips and such but I really like having a phone that can get me from A to B easily. I don't carry my GPS everywhere, I do carry my phone.

Would I buy another Samsung Device?? Maybe. I'd certainly wait a few weeks after it was released to see what the main issues are. As far as software, I don't care. I flash ROM's more than I change my...... Well you get my point.
[Captivate General] FIREONHIGH:
if att gets the galaxy 2? it will hit in the fall of course,they will milk the atrix ,infuse and the htc dealio for all they are worth. sad reaallly:mad:most likely increase data charges for no reason than renaming their 3g network:eek:....sounds like the goverment at work here, we need bigger goverment to counteract this maddddnesss:D
[Captivate General] ZioNicR:
Gotta agree with you there. When I switched from my iPhone to the Cappy, I'll admit I went through some withdrawal basically because a comparable cydia/rock alternative wasn't readily available (I really missed the streaming video and content apps...the ones that worked anyway :/ ). The work the devs are doing within the XDA community breathed new life and excitement into my cappy. I think in time, the overall developement scene for Android will rival and (hopefully) surpass what the iPhone community has accomplished.
[Captivate General] cappyandroid:
Agreed. Before I got my Captivate, I was expecting the same Cydia/Installer combo to show up a couple minutes after I got it.

Honestly, Market serves as an undermined Cydia, but iPhone does have the better dev base by a landslide and that's why it's more popular, at least for devs and the like.

If Captivate had the dev base iPhone does, I wouldn't need anything else. Then again, I don't think anyone else would, either.
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
I'm gonna have to agree with everyone stating that overall, the captivate is a good phone, despite its issues. But then again, most all phones have their own set of issues. Some people just cannot be happy with anything. It is frustrating about the lack of software updates, but with the ability to update the software ourselves thanks to the developers for their hard work, that issue can be side stepped until the next base software comes out (if it ever does) And considering how I am, I would prefer to install custom over stock anyday because of the extra features and options you wouldn't get otherwise.

At this point, I see myself staying with the Captivate and AT&T, and riding out the storm for the time being. I am waiting for the supposed 4G revolution in networks as well as phones, and then maybe jumping ship to Verizon, with a real 4G Phone and service.
[Captivate General] squishy5:
Att galaxy s2

there was a viedo at cnet with ces where they where showing a 4.5 sammsung phone coming for att that was unamaned and they werent allowed to film the back of the phone. The phone also has 4g

sorry isuck at speeling
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
Sounds like that could be the Samsung Infuse...
[Captivate General] ZioNicR:
What I don't understand is if the Android platform is open source, then way isn't the developer base much larger than it is? This has always had me scratching my head ever since I first messed around with unix/linux/fedora/ubuntu based software. Just never understood what's preventing free cooperation towards producing superior products. It seems like software developement flourished under the tight grip of Apple, but shuffles along under open source. Somebody set me straight on this :( .
[Captivate General] justdrew:
having to code for low end phones is hard as far as games go
[Captivate General] cavsoldier19d:
My guess is..it may have something to do with the open source community and the likeminded has always been a much smaller demographic than products of microsoft or apple..where you have that control and lockdown that appeals more to the average end user because most people want working out of the box and mimimal tweaking solutions. That and the highly controversial philosophy of open source...that tends to not generate as much revenue.
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Definitely the Infuse; I like it; 4.5 inch screen, 9mm thick, 4G, and 1.2 gs stock; im pretty sure we could get that OCed to 1.4 stable too.
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
Of course im waiting for the galaxy 2 that samsung will announce at MWC.
