That's been reported by several people... including myself... had the same thing happen with Onix 2.0.3 and speedmod.... Onix 2.0.4 seems to be fine. That's why you have to take reports of greatness with a grain of salt... everyone will have different experiences since no two phones will respond identically in all situations.

Multimedia Messaging???

Having problems with receiving multimedia messages:

1) When I receive a picture message, it doesn't go through. It'll just say "downloading" and get stuck. Nothing happens.

Hey Guys I am knew to flashing ROMS and an very much unfamiliar with the process. My phone has been rooted using CLShortFuse's One-Click Root. : I have done my Homework but have some questions:

1. I am running on 2.2 Froyo will I have to downgrade to 2.1 Eclair in order to flash?

2.Can Super Nova be Flashed Using CWM's "ROM Manager"?

2. Do I need a new kernal besides the stock one such as speedmod etc.?

3. If #2 is yes then can I also flash it using ROM Manager?

Like I said I am a noob when it comes to rooting phones, this is all new to me. I have read all of the posts and so forth but I just want some concrete answers before I go and start to try and flash a new ROM. Please Help :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] meadhros:
If you are rooted yes. Rom manager is not needed but can be used to make backups. Doesn't work well with custom roms. Supernova has a kernel already cooked in. best practice if to 3 button into recovery. Make sure supernova zip is on SD card. (not the external if you have one). Hold vol. Up until the ATT screen. Might take a couple tries. Select install zip from...., find the correct download or saved location and flash it from there. It will take a few minutes to boot the first time. If you don't have, download titanium backup. It's a favorite for backing up and restoring your apps. Don't, however; restore system data. Hope this helps.

This won't work...

Here is a quick Rundown

I897 ROM (Cognition) + Stock Kernel + I897 MOdem (Stock = JL1) = BLUETOOTH WORKING (no static)

If you change the Kernel and modem to Firebird and JK4 this breaks the combination and you end up getting static. The Firebird Kernel is based off the i9000 source.

IF you want to use the Firebird Kernel, I suggestng switching to Perception which uses the i9000 source.

*This is my understanding of how this works...if I am wrong please correct me*

I have the same setup cog.3.04 FB2 ver 1.0 and JK4 modem, I used SGS kernel flasher to back up stock cog. kernel. I will flash back to stock kernel and JJ4 modem when I want to use bluetooth then flash back to FB2 and JK4 modem when I want to use Voodoo control for sound.

Newbie: tell me prepare steps before flashing

Please tell me the steps I should do to a pure stock ATT Captivate before flashing Cog ROM (will probably wait for v4 which apparently DG is working on now).

I don't need (right now) the how-to-do-each step, just what to do. May have to ask later for some of the details, but I =think= I know most of the process, just have never done it yet. What I am still not clear on is the "for your safety" (e.g. backups other than Tibu), the "it's a good idea", and the "just in case" to do's.

I would like to end up after flash with all the apps I have now (except ATT bloat). Please include the apps I will need before the flash process and any that would need to be there afterward.

Oh, on ATT apps--I do use the ATT Address book at

Contacts >menu>more>Settings>ATT Address book

because the gmail sync WILL NOT send phone contacts to gmail--only the other way from gmail to phone. So, would like to keep that for backup in case of phone theft/lost. Possible?

Thanks.

Thanks, however, other than doing the root on a stock phone, that is not the BEFORE things--it is the flashing process. I was asking for things desirable to do before starting all of that (well maybe after rooting, but before the flashings).

Examples (made up)..."you should use ____ and manually copy ____ from _____ to ______." You should get ____ app and run it; copy the ____numbers from the screen and save them, or move the file it created at_____ to____.

Maybe there is nothing else that should be done, but I am sure somewhere I read something about that last part (saving some number out of the original setup).

I am trying to avoid any possibility of ending up saying, "Dang, I wish I had _____."
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Johnny Paranoid:
Other than backing up your user apps and the data related to them, there is not much else to do other than root your phone and flash the ROM. Afterwards you can restore user apps and data (but not system data) and flash a separate kernel and/or modem if you like, nut it is not generally necessary to do so. As long as the ROM you are flashing is for the phone you are flashing it on, there should not be any problems.

Once you switch to a custom ROM you will no longer be able to use ATT Phone Book... I learned this the hard way. Besides... ATT Phone book SUCKS!!! With the new ROMs... Google will sync your contacts better than ATT ever did but since you've already used ATT here' is what you'll have to do to save your contacts.

1. Go into your Contacts on the phone and click on the Menu Soft Key on the phone.

2. Look for an Import/Export feature and click on it.

3. Now Export your contacts to the SD Card. It will name the file something like: 00001.vcf

4. Now either use Drop Box or connect your phone to PC and save the file.

5. Login to Gmail and use the import feature. Click on it and look for the file you just saved and select it. Gmail should now have all your Contacts.

6. Now you are ready to do whatever you want with your phone with no fear in ever losing your contacts,

7. That I'm aware off... once you use a Custom ROM Froyo and above Gmail will sync both ways. You'll just need to select in on the sync and contact menu.

8. From the home screen... click on the Menu Soft Key and go into settings. Look for "Accounts and sync" and click on it. Add your Google account and allow it to "Auto Sync" and "Background data."

9. Now go back to your Contacts and once again go into the Menu Mode. Click on "More" down arrow and click on "Settings".

10. In there you should see a "Save New Contacts to" Click on it and choose Google.

11. Your all done... from now on your phone will keep your Contacts in sync with Google Account even when you add a new one on the phone.

Note: In "Display options" under the Contact Menu... I have mine to only show Contacts on my phone with Phone Numbers only and to only show Contacts from Google. This avoids Repeats or a crap load of email only contacts being shown on my Phone list.

Hope this helps you or anyone else not wanting to lose there Contacts... I had to learn the hard way the first time when I found out ATT sync wouldn't work anymore. It Sucks anyways in comparison to Google Sync since ATT doesn't even allow you to export Contacts from there site.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] movrshakr:
Thanks you very much for that--very clearly expressed and complete.

Agree the ATT sync is not great, but since Google sync was not taking them, I had to save them somewhere....thus the ATT.

Hmmmm....on Item 4 about Dropbox: I guess I don't know how to make the mobile version work.

I put the vcf file into a folder I made called "nonpublic." It shows on the phone, but is not appearing in the Dropbox account either online or on my laptop.

I don't see a sync button or anything in the menu button, so how do you get things in dropbox folders on the phone to sync to the other places?

LATER: Installed OI File Manager (recommended in a Dropbox document I found) and was able to make it work. In Dropbox on the phone, you have to use menu and command an upload ("Any file"), then it lets you start your file manager, you drill to the file, and upload it into dropbox server; then it syncs. A bit complicated and not immediately obvious--but it is quite a useful capability.

Swype Expired?

Hello everyone,

So today Swype stopped working. I could enter text in, but the keyboard would flash with a blue outline and no text appeared. However, I could use the old-fashioned tap entry to get my words in.

I rebooted the phone with a full power off and power on, but it made no difference. I attempted to reinstall a Swype.apk that I pulled from another ROM that I had lying around, but it refused to install. In this process of trying to shoehorn in another Swype package, I discovered what may have been the real error:

Swype license expired!

I got this message after I had manually killed the Swype process using OSMonitor and doing various gyrations with switching back and forth between keyboards. I don't remember the exact order of things, I just know that I finally got a meaningful message.

I resolved this by registering for a proper version of the app through Swype.com and manually cleaning up the bits and pieces left-over when you do a TiBu uninstall.

So I'm curious if this has happened to anyone else or whether I somehow inflicted this on myself through the other hackings about I was perpetrating?

I had poor to moderate GPS results after flashing Cog 4.1.1, so I tried the GPS fix from SGS tools, and it totally screwed it up--so it would never lock on any satellites. Applying the PlumbBob fix repaired it, so at least the GPS sorta works now.

What issues does this fix address specifically?

I just flashed Cognition 4.1.1 and Vlingo will open with a press of the headset button but the mic never opens so it does not receive audio. Interestingly it closes the handset mic so it's half way there.

Google Voice Search will recognize voice through the headset but like others here have experienced it only does a web search not a lookup in my contacts for dialing.

Either of these apps would be suitable but each has their own problem.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
I am using JM9 and it works really well for me. I recomend downloading a GPS app (either GPS Test or GPS Status work well) and then tring out the north america fix and then the european fix (checking the apps inbetween to see how effective they are). Also I have seen somehwere that "using networks" to detect your location can prevent your phone from showing a good position even with GPS on so maybe it's a one or the other. Then maybe move onto the two more permanent mods (JM9 which cannot be undone without a flash or restore and plumbBob). Either way i recommend a backup before you start playing.

Good luck

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Beny The Kid:
Yeah, I am currently battling the same problem. If you read in the suckerpunch kernel thread there is reference to this being a problem with 2.2. Apparently something about the "suspend process". i am still trying to work through it but might just flash to DG's Firebird kernel or Overstock 1.1 in the meantime. Both have good feedback so far. It might be the way that the kernel (suckerpunch) is interacting with DG's ROM. I am actually waiting with heightened anticipation for DG to release the COG 4 Kernel. I can't imagine anything working better with the ROM that a Kernel designed by the same Dev specifically for the ROM.
