It has nothing to do with Froyo, you couldn't install Timescape, Mediascape and Backup and Restore on 2.1 AOSP either. They're signed to only work on SE ROM. You will have to reinstall a ROM based on stock-SE firmware and backup your contacts in another way.

Easiest way is to sync contacts with google account, so they'll be automatically restored on every ROM when you sign into your account. Other way is to export them into a vcf-file on your SD card, like someone said before.

I don't really know about backing up messages, but there are lot of free apps on the market to backup and restore these. Just don't use Titanium Backup, since it caused force closes on message apps for some people after restoring the messages.

Hi guys!

yesterday I finally decided to install Android NAND. Everything worked just fine - BIG thanks to all developers at this point!

There's only one big problem: it seems like Android doesn't find my sd-card. I can access, format, write and read via my cardreader, but in Android's SD-card settings there's no sd-card available.

things I tried to do:

removing sd card: android says, that the card has been removed

rebooting system without wifi: no changes

formatting sd with fat32 in windows: no changes

here some general information:

android version: 2.2

kernel: 2.6.32.15-g66f6ed7-dirty

baseband: 15.40.50.07U_2.12.50.02_2

please can anyone help? thanks in advance!
[HD2 Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting and Genera] eichkater:
OK, here's an update:

I just tried another micro sd from a friend's galaxy I9000 - and it works! Though, I don't think, that my own sdcard is broken, since I can work with it via the cardreader.

One thing could be important: earlier I formatted the sdcard for using it as goldcard. Therefore I have been working with a tool called PSAS. I guess, this changed something. Can this process be reversed?

Thanks for your replies!

I don't think that using your SD-Card as goldcard is the problem, i've done the same with my SD-Card and it works without Problems.
[Nook Color General] Rotesmofa:
Hello Guys,

i have received my awaited nook color today.

So i tried to register it first using the Wifi of my phone and a open Wifi at home.

Both times the server of Barnes and Noble seems to be not responding. I get the message that the connection may have been interrupted (standing 1m away from my router).

Because i am from Germany and i am not using an Proxy, my question is: Is it possible to register the Nook Color from anywhere else the US?

Best regards,

your

[Nook Color General] benp12:
Yes, I'm in New Zealand and registered no problems - I didn't use a proxy or anything. I registered for a barnes and noble account on their website first (on my PC) without adding credit card details - then I used that account when registering the nook color and skipped adding credit card details. That works fine if you just want to use it as a rooted tablet without the barnes and noble store features. Otherwise I think you need a US credit card address and possible vpn for using the store- but not sure on that one. But you definitely can register from outside the US without a proxy etc.

Cheers

The issue was the store from B&N it started to work after 8h of trying.

I was normally using android 2.1 and I download the data files via wifi and is able to play gameloft games without any problem.

However recently I install android 2.2 beta3 and when I launch any Gameloft games ( eg. Spiderman), it asked for downloading of data files.

So I tried to backup my spiderman data files to my com, delete it from my phone and reinstall the data files via wifi. But after install for quite a while, it stated that "A problem occured and the download could not be completed successfully."

So what should I do to get it to work? How to continue from my progress?

I'm not sure what the source of the problem is, but WiFi is slower than 3g and doesn't maintain a stable connection even though I'm 50 feet from the router. I have Cog v3.04 and Firebird Kernal v2.05. I just installed the KP1 modem, but I had these issues before that. Any suggestions?

I've had something similar with the latest Cognition release (cog kernel and modem as well). My Wifi connects and works for webpages but won't download apps from the market or other files. It uploads files to dropbox fine. Any help is appreciated. And I'm getting ready to flash the kernel to SpeedMod and use a i9000 modem to see if it's any better.

I'm running Cog 3.04, SpeedMod K12r – 500hz (SpeedMod installed with Odin is the only installation that does not quickly drain battery for me), and JL3 modem. Everything is working great and fantastic battery life!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
I'm also playing around with Cog 3.04 at the moment with this issue -- no wifi internet. No, it's not the router, there are multiple LANs around in my area and I was connecting and using them just fine on stock Froyo + Captivate Voodoo + JI6 modem. It's definitely something that came up after installing Cog.

I think the general rule of thumb says that you shouldn't mix and match, but so far, the JI6 and JJ4 modems have not given me any Wifi connection (the phone says it will connect, but no internet services work).

Meanwhile the JK4 modem for I9000 works, it will connect to LANs and let me browse to pages, although it's a little slow.

As of this typing I *just* tried out JL3, but the result is no good. I can load Google.com and nothing else.

I'm wary of trying the XXJP* modems due to changing bands (I'm no expert) but if nothing else works (or JK4 breaks) then it'll be on the table.

Is there anything else we can change aside from modems and kernels? I like how fast Cog is but if I can't get Wifi then I have to go back to stock Froyo.

Edit: Just tried out the Firebird 2 kernel. Wifi with the JI6 modem is back! Albeit slow. Battery life is also depleting VERY quickly. JJ4, JL3 still no good; JK4 works and is very fast, however internet only works with one wireless network, which happens to be unencrypted. Now going back to the original Cog 3.04 kernel, see if I can get any more data.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
ive recently installed the cog 3.04 rom on mine.. currently deployed and can only use it with the wifi and so far, have not really noticed any issues.. i can download from the market and access the wifi's as needed.. only thing is sometimes it will disconnect when the phone locks, but when i unlock, it logs back on.. but that is about it for me.. so far loving it..still too new at the phone to really know much though :(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
Ok, I think I may have found what I did wrong.

I used Titanium Backup to backup ALL of my system data from the leaked Froyo install, and restored it to the Cog install once it finished. I just re-flashed Cog to my phone (from leaked JI6 Froyo) WITHOUT restoring system data -- I only restored user apps and user app data this time. Tentatively, I seem to have Wifi working on all available LANs! Haven't changed a thing from the Cog install (using the modem that came with it, etc.) and all seems to be good.

Sad thing is, I think DG's page on Cog 3.04 specifically mentioned we shouldn't restore all system data after flashing. :o So for anyone else having Wifi troubles, you might want to make sure you didn't restore everything from your old ROM.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zugshad:
yeh.. i believe they changed it to do the restore missing apps and data instead of restore all apps and data... the video linked on their to show how to flash cog 3 has the guy telling you to restore all but once he made the video, he went in and put a splash on the screen for a correction to only do the missing apps + data and not restore all as it is known to cause issues :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
Actually, a correction on my part: Wifi's dead again. Seems to work for a few minutes at a time. Not sure what to do, going back to normal Froyo for a spell then...

Cognition 3.04 ROM and the firebird kernel

i would like 2 use this combo but i read they drain batt like crazy.

would like 2 know if anyone has found a combo that fixs this.

I have been running the cognition 3.04 rom for a few days, every thing works perfect with flash from stock 2.1. btw great rom i love it thanks for this rom.

Cognition 3.04 ROM stock kernel

hopeing for firebird read nothing but great things about it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
Edit: Nevermind, wifi eventually broke again.

This took several tries, but the procedure that finally let it work for about 12 hours follows.

Now it's been a couple more hours and I am sad to report that the secured networks are once again unreachable on the JL1 modem, or any other that I have as far as I know. *Sigh* back to trying more things.

Edit 2: I have tried the "rm bcm_supp.conf" method of wiping wifi stats for a clean start, tried it on the stock Cog 3.04 kernel as well as the supercurio kernel. Doesn't fix the issue.

Edit 3: I dunno guys. I just did a fresh install again:

Now I can connect to all the unsecured networks and ONE secured network. I'm willing to write off the other secured network that I can't connect to because it wasn't compatible with the stock 2.1 Eclair ROM either (i.e. some protocol is probably in error). Nonetheless, the connection seems very fragile and I wouldn't be surprised if I rebooted and suddenly lost the capability to connect to that one secured network. *Shrug*
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
I've found a robust, working workaround!

I think that something about flashing kernels via Clockworkmod Recovery may be what's breaking wifi -- I have no idea why, but I flashed SpeedMod K13A via CWM and I couldn't connect to anything, then immediately afterwards flashed the same K13A, but via Odin, and absolutely everything works! The cause may be a particular version of CWM, it could be that the CWM and Odin versions of kernels are different, I don't know jack about the innards of software. But if you're having Wifi troubles try flashing a kernel via Odin, then flash (by whatever means, I still use CWM) a compatible modem, and see if it works.

Right now, I have Cog 3.04 running with SpeedMod K13A and the JL2 modem -- very robust and quick connection, data flows fairly quickly as well (10Mbps down/up). Have tried several different I9000 modems since then and they all work. JL2, KP1, JP5, JL3, JK4 are the ones I have in my "stash", every single one works so I've pretty much ruled out the modem question. :)

Hope you guys can also get your Wifi fixed! As a starting point I'd definitely try SpeedMod (via Odin) + JL2, the two of them work very well together and it gives me the best Wifi, GPS, voice quality, smoothness and battery life out of all the combos I've tried so far.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parabolee:
Thanks color0, I am going to try this right now. Flashed to Cog 3.04 yesterday and my Wifi has been sporadic at best.

EDIT: Well I flashed the K13A speed mod using ODIN and I still have issues with my Apple Time Machine Router. It connects fine but I receive no data (always worked great in the past). The connection to my other router seems to be working ok though, let's see if it lasts.

I could not install the JL2 modem as I am on a SGH-i897 and I understand that is a I9000 modem.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js22:
At work, we have 2 wifi networks : one is open, the other uses PEAP and MSCHAPV2 (?)

On my brand new (unflashed) Captivate I could connect to either one.

I flashed Cognition 3.04 and now I can connect to the open network, but not the PEAP secured one. There is an endless loop of scanning-> connecting -> disconnected, and the network appears as "disabled" after several attempts.

Unfortunately the open network has limitations, and requires a manual login.

I hope someone finds a fix, as I really like Cognition 3.04 so far.

I tried backdating the dhcpcd as mentioned in one of the developer threads, as well as re-booting, but that didn't help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
Mine is also an SGH-I897. :) The SpeedMod K13A, however, is a I9000-based kernel, so you SHOULD actually use an I9000 modem to pair with it. JL2 is one of the best ones available, JK4 is also tried-and-proven, but drains battery. KP1 works very fast but voice quality drops.

JS22, Tzabka, yep, this is the exact same problem for all three of our Captivates. I can't guarantee there isn't something else that might break Wifi for you guys, but I can report what is working for me now. :) Best of luck! Once we at least have Wifi we can start working on other things like voice quality and battery life (currently trying out BVJJPD, I've heard some great things about its power consumption).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] parabolee:
OH OK great. Could you point me in the right direction for installing the JL2 modem, never installed a modem before. Can I just use Odin3?

Thanks!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] js22:
Maybe to get an understanding/solution to the problem, we need to be more specific. In my experience, the wifi problem seems only to be an issue of acces to protected wifi. I haven't seen much discussion of which kinds of wifi setups that are causing problems.

SUGGESTION : when you post about wifi problems, please say whether the wifi is protected or open, and give the protection scheme if you know it.

A summary of my experience thus far :

Friday:

1) Brand new Captivate (2.1), Yay !

2) Connected to protected (PEAP/MSCHAPv2) wifi.

3) Flashed Cog 3.04.

4) Unable to connect to protected wifi.

5) Connected to open wifi many times, no problem.

Weekend:

6) Connected to several other open wifi hot spots; no problems.

7) Did a full battery cycle (empty battery) for calibration.

Monday:

8) First thing in the AM : connect to protected wifi with the exact same (Remembered) credentials. Success.

9) Turned off wifi. (No problems, just saving battery.)

10) Accidentally connected to the wrong (open) wifi.

11) Not able to reconnect to protected wifi.

Q: Are any of you folks who are having problems seeing behavior that is inconsistent with this ?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] color0:
js22, to answer you, YES that is the exact problem I had when on "stock" Cognition 3.04. In my case I have two unsecured, one WPA, and one PEAP network around me, and the phone exhibited this behavior on the WPA and PEAP networks. Unsecured has never been an issue.

parabolee: if there is a CWM version, you should use that rather than Odin, as it's quicker and has less steps to screw up if you're sleepy or whatever.

Here is a good link to get modems from: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=876391

The infopage is not up-to-date however, take the info with a grain of salt. My current experiment is ZSJPE, the infopage says it's only compatible in Hong Kong but my phone IS connecting to the AT&T network down here in southern California, and to boot has better voice quality than KP1 AND JL2. Sadly, the battery does drain a little faster than what the thread indicated it would do, so I will be going back to JL2 for the time being.

PROBLEM SOLVED

I found a solution for the problem I was having, maybe for some others too.

Short version : the most recent version of wpa_supplicant (0.6.10) fails to negotiate correctly with certain (buggy) enterprise wifi routers (including Cisco). The easy fix is to replace wpa_supplicant with an older version (0.6.9) from a 2.1 ROM.

Apparently this problem is known by android developers at Google, the developers of wpa_su[pplicant, and probably the people who make the buggy wifi routers. Everyone seems to know 'cept us poor captivate flashers.

The binary lives in /system/bin/wpa_supplicant, and you can tell which version you have by running :

wpa_supplicant -v

from adb shell or terminal emulator.

I got my copy of the older wpa_supplicant binary off a link in a forum from someone I don't know, which is a lazy/dangerous/stupid thing to do. I posted on Team Whiskey, where I think designgears will see, so hopefully this issue can be corrected in future Cognition ROMs.

Good luck.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stefphanni:
I read somewhere that institution/academic wifi addresses often begin with '10' and are incompatible with Eclair. This was the initial reason I upgraded my Captivate to Froyo, which was a gateway drug to flashing Cognition. =]

I found that my work's wifi did indeed have a PEAP protected address beginning with 10. I couldn't connect using stock Eclair, COULD connect using stock Froyo, and then no longer could connect using Cognition (3.04).

The last workaround mentioned swapping the current wpa files with those from Eclair, but perhaps the files from Froyo would work better? I can't test this theory til I go back into work on Tuesday to try out my own wifi.
