[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] drothenberger:
Do any of the current ROMs fix the issue with the wifi netmask ignoring the DHCP setting? I've searched and it seems it was fixed in some of the early Froyo leaks, but Phoenix 4.5 still has the issue, and I read Cognition 3.04 does as well.

The issue is described in this AT&T thread entitled "Samsung Captivate WiFi DHCP netmask issue". (Sorry, new user -- can't post links.) Basically, the netmask is set based on the IP address instead of using the value provided by DHCP. In my case, I often connect to networks that use 10.x.x.x addresses but subnets other than 255.0.0.0.

Yes, I know the work-around is to use a static IP, but this doesn't help me when I'm using public hotspots with classless networking, which I often do. I already have a GScript script to fix this, but it seems that the wifi connection is often dropped and recreated, so I have to run this frequently and it gets pretty annoying.

Had the same issues on any ROM I tried.

The issue also appears to be fixed in Phoenix 5.2 JS5. I'm not sure about the JPY version.

Unfortunately, I read Adam is going to stop doing JS5 for Phoenix, so I guess I'll have to move to Super Nova.

Flash a 2.1 version with repartition on! (maybe 2 times if first time don't work)

Then flash a 2.2 or 2.2.1 version without repartition on...

PS: Everytime before flashing with odin put off the battery once first!

Good luck!

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] m2677086:
I think the point is not 2.2/ 2.2.1 .. The OP needs an odin flash with separated csc, modem and pda files plus a corresponding pit file plus repartition ticked.

I believe that this error happens after a odin flash with repartition ticked AND there s only 1 pda file (without the modem and csc things).

I looked through the forums for this but couldn't find the answer. Hosed Froyo (somehow) and want to go back to ATT stock, then reinstall. Have AT&T Captivate One-Click Root.exe but get a :signature verification failed message so it won't go back. Maybe it's the update.zip file that is corrupted or something, but not sure how to proceed. Used Odion (I897UCJI6-OCD-REV02-Low-designgears_1_.exe) and thought that would take me back to original Eclair/ATT ROM but all that did was put in a fresh version of Froyo...which might be good if it works but really wanted to start from scratch (Eclair.).

Anyway to go back?

Thanks everyone. I will read up on the aboe.

Should have mentioned phone is 1010 version (under battery) and I did get it to go back to Froyo 2.2, which I had read reflashing should be done by going back to stock then reinstalling, and so that is what I was trying to do.

Thought I had backed up my original update.zip for for just such an event but apparently either didn't or can't find it :S

The reinstall/reflash seems to be doing ok...unfortunatly titanium pro didn't back up all my user apps so I'm having to go back and reinstall everything, but I'll eventually get it all back.

Thanks again for all the replies!

it seems to be doing it after I use market at some point. i done the cache clear as above and it worked fine for 2 hours, then I opened up market and looked around. with in 2 min the screen went blank and i was to the lock screen. other times it goes to the home screen.

I done a shut down, restart and havent been on market and its been up for a hour.

I'm running the supplement at this time. only thing downloaded was quadrant and kindle.

tethering on 2.1 citrus

I had the same result as above.

I successfully rooted with z4root

tried both

wireless tether for root

and

wifi tethering mesh

Same results, as soon as you start the tethering process, phone restarts..

side note: I know I am rooted as these apps only run if so, i've tried it..

anyone find a hack for running a few apps like 'mint' that are not available in market on the citrus.. even though 'mint' and my local banks app runs on android 1.6 and up

motorola support says the citrus only runs apk files, yet I found a work around to run java apps, just not 'mint' or my banks app runs

this is kind of like bait and switch, the citrus was advertised as being android 2.1 yet its a rather limited version.. its like fedora linux calling itself redhat linux although its based on redhat it isnt:confused:..
[General Questions and Answers] cekiert2:
found one

'Barnacle Wifi Tether' from market worked on my citrus, i'll find out when i get my bill if its good or not regarding the tethering fees. but it worked in a 1 minute short test..

I came across some reviews which reminded me(on of all reviews one person with tmobile was charged):

so i would like to remind people some basics of tethering

1. dont do computer operating system updates on tether

2. dont download torrents or do filesharing on tether

3. dont use a extreme amount of data..

that said I would recommend using a firewall on you computer to block any applcations that might do any of above, and use it when your tethering...
[Epic 4G General] galaxywhat?:
I noticed something recently. My epic used to SUCK with battery life and took really long to charge. I've flashed a few roms over with ext4 etc, but I am now on stock dk28, (rooted+cwm2.5). Now what I noticed is that my battery charges really fast now even with wifi. BUT i m kinda thinking that maybe the battery statistics are not right? The batery seems to stay charged for a good time now too. Now, I am wondering why this could be. Three things I'm thinking:

1. I remember switching batteries with a vibrant before but I thought I switched them back. I don't know maybe I didn't now that I think about it?

2.flashing roms at random times/ when the battery was low. BUT I did odin back to stock 2.1 after all this..

3.Battery conditioning?

Thanks guys for any feedback.
[Epic 4G General] Elite11b:
What's really funny I just odined back today and I'm noticing really great battery life.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
when u flash to a new rom that significantly different than the previous rom you had you need to get your phone fully charged, power off and wait for it to complete charging again then boot into clockwork,unplug,wipe batt stats, boot and dont plug in untill the batt dies and phone powers off. This will let android gauge your batt....i've notice that flashing a new rom with a low charge seems to really throw off the bat stats
[Epic 4G General] JBakey:
That's not entirely accurate. Android gauges it on a full battery CYCLE. you don't have to go from full to dead. You should always start full though. You can run from full, to 50%, plug it in, back down to 50%. That would complete one full cycle. Theres a thread with all the info on it. I'd link it but I'm on my phone.
[Epic 4G General] BopChie:
Gauges a full cycle, beeing the FULL cycle of the battery... i.e fully charged to fully drained... then it knows the capacity
[Epic 4G General] running_the_dream:
That is all completely unnecessary. Just charge it to full, power off, boot into clockwork, wipe battery stats, restart. No other steps are required to calibrate your battery.
[Epic 4G General] styckx:
Or just simply use the phone normally and it will balance itself out naturally in a couple days. Charging is always quick for me "if" I'm not doing data and resource heavy tasks.
[Epic 4G General] A_Flying_Fox:
I do bump charging or quick charging or whatever its called.

The hero would charge to like 35% in 10minutes. The epic only charges to like 5% in 10minutes lol

I hate the epic battery. But when its fully charged, it lasts the day for me.
[Epic 4G General] skyjedi:
My epic battery used to be terrible, 4hours. But with little no changes im getting at least 12 hours or moderate use wifi, GPS, auto bright, and 3 or 4 widgets. i can only think that the battery has been conditioned.

Also i flashed the EB13 from here this morning with setCPU and i'm getting at least 4 more hours. Also charging is faster 30% in 60 minutes.

What i've seen is that it's a memory overload glitch in CM7 I haven't heard about it in stock. but for instance on cm7 your running music gps and want to make a phone call then boom it resets. It thinks it's out of memory so it reboots to close all processes and to regain RAM. I personally don't think it's running out of memory I think it has a mis configured default but that's just me. Hope that helps

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] krkeegan:
What is the benefit of using the native ATT tether feature over barnacle? It seems to me that ATT would be more likely to discover your use of tethering if you use their native client and access points.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Not to mention that I got faster speeds when using Barnacle than I did the blank AT&T APN - 4.26 Down / 0.33 Up using Barnacle - 2.70 Down / 0.29 Up on the APN tethering....

For those wondering how to get Barnacle since the stupid Android Market says "this item is not available for your carrier," a big F-U to AT&T on that one, just root your device and allow side loaded apps, then from your computer, go to:

http://szym.net/barnacle/

and download the direct link.... You'll have to manually update it though (if necessary, works great as is on the current 0.6.7 version), because even with using Appbrain, it shows up in the apps sync'd, but will not open the market app to update, when necessary.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] lorimer:
Other ways to get Barnacle

I don't have my Atrix yet (get paid on Monday), but on my current Streak, there are 2 ways to get Barnacle: Settings->Wireless & Networks->Mobile Network Settings -- Uncheck "Data enabled", then turn on wifi and download from the market.

The other (unconfirmed) option is to just use the Android web market: market.android.com . Search for Barnacle, install it there. It worked on my phone, but I had it installed previously. I don't think AT&T can block those installations, but I am sure they would if they could, so YMMV.

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
Since the app doesn't need an update just yet, I can't confirm the first way you suggested. But I can definitely UNconfirm the second - that's where I got the text from that says it cannot be installed on our carrier. I almost always use the computer to search for apps as opposed to the actual Market app on the phone.

Was sitting in the passenger seat of a car going 80mph down the highway earlier and was getting a great connection with Barnacle the whole 3 hour trip. Love it, didn't even bother with the APN tether!
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] i.mykol:
what kind of computer are you using. i have the Chrome CR-48 and it doesn't work because they can't connect to ADHOC networks. Tethering sets up an ADHOC network, not infrastructural like your Home Wireless Routers
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] mjsztainbok:
An easy way to bypass the Market check is to download MarketEnabler from the market and temporarily change the settings to another carrier (e.g. I tried Telstra). This will allow you install Barnacle directly from the Market.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] SNadler:
I also find that Barnacle works flawlessly. The Native Hotspot feature also works with no problem. I have found however that the native hotspot requires high speed or it will not even start. Barnacle on the other hand will work when still within the Edge network if need be.:D

[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] digital puppy:
Another satisfied Barnacle user here.

I am new to Android and when I got my Atrix the first thing I did was root it with SuperOneClick. I tried tethering it using the XDA's forum instructions for APN but couldn't get it to work. A friend of mine suggested Barnacle and I've been rolling ever since.

I was a little confused when my laptop showed the ad-hoc connection and symbol rather than a 'traditional' wifi network, but my connection is solid.

Now to wait on AT&T to do their thing and turn the psudo-4G switch on.
[Atrix 4G Themes and Apps] KryptosXLayer2:
This works PERFECTLY.... Just used T-Mobile (a little closer to home than Telstra is in Australia :cool: ) and updated Barnacle - will be doing this for any other "issues" AT&T throws our way......
