Think I got ADB figured out, and I am fixing to flash the Ursa Minor #2. (Thanks PirateGhost)

One thing I use a lot due to my downtime in the field is Netflix. That app does not seem to be working in Andromeda. Is it a known issue that is being worked on? Seems like it times out trying to connect.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] creepyncrawly:
Netflix works just fine for me, since they upgraded the application to include more phones, including the Captivate. If that was my phone, I think I'd try deleting the application and re-downloading it from the market.

Car Dock Audio out with Andromeda 3

Hey there,

Has anyone had success getting audio out through a car dock using Andromeda and Ursa Minor?

Or, can anyone reccomend a good kernal that supports audio out through the dock that will work well with Andromeda?

On an unrooted stock Captivate can I just put the CWM update.zip on the root of the phone, install it and from there install a custom rom without problems?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
yes. absolutely
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpgdev:
Thanks for your prompt answer but why is the installation process described here so complicated when you just need to do what I described? The information is useful of course and I would probably refer to it later but I just want to be sure that the process I described would work. I'm on 2.2 stock by the way, I don't know if that changes anything...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
2.1 works that way. 2.2 uses recovery 3e and requires a downgrade to 2.2 or Ursa minor kernel

I know but what I meant was that it just says that I have 340MB available instead of 512MB. I read about how the system on some Galaxy S phones uses some of the ram for cache or something like that and wanted to know if it was possible to free that space and have it available as ram.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Pirateghost:
no. plain and simple, you will NEVER see the FULL RAM on ANY phone/mobile device

its the same on HTC/Motorola/Samsung....

the reason is that the system is using RAM and is strictly allocated to using that ram....you dont need access to it, because the system needs it
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rpgdev:
Well, that is dissapointing.. I know that on any given system we can't ever have the whole ram capacity available since the system eats some of it but I at least expected the OS to tell me the entire capacity of the installed ram even if just half of it is available for use by user apps.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TayzGpa:
Wierd phone situation.

Didnt know where to post this so I thought I would start here.

I have a Captivate I897 that came with Froyo 2.1 which I updated to 2.2. via KiesMini just after 2.2 came out.

A few months ago, I flashed Andromeda3 and have been using it ever since.

Now, I would like to flash back to stock but when I do ...

The problem:

If I make or receive a phone call, I cannot hear the other person, and they cannot hear me.

If they call me, my phone will ring and when I answer, I cannot hear them, they cannot hear me.

If I place a phone call, their phone will ring, I cannot hear it ring on my end, and when they answer I cannot hear them, they cannot hear me.

If I get a phone call and do not answer it, it will go to voice mail and they can leave a message, but I cant retrieve it because I cant hear after I dial the voice mail number.

What I have tried:

I have tried flashing to stock using OdinOneClick.

I have tried flashing to stock using regular Odin and I897UCJH2.tar and I897UCKB1-homeBinary.tar

I have tried using the Odin s1_odin_20100512.pit file.

I have tried flashing Cognition 4.x.x

I have tried flashing Serendipety.

I have tried flashing using Hiemdall (both regular and Adams OneClick).

I have tried varions I897 modems (kb1, kf1, kh3) after flashing to stock.

I have tried all I know to try and have tried all that I have come across in surfing through the forums.

Bottom line is, unless I flash back to Andromeda 3, my phone doesnt work correctly (as described above).

Anyone have a clue as to what might be going on?

P.S. Just where IS the modem.bin file on the phone anyway?

csc file for i897 (or why don't my text messages arrive)?

I flashed Andromeda 3 about 3 weeks ago and last week my text messages stopped arriving. After investigating my phones firmware it appears as though my firmware info is now:

PDA: i9010XXJL1

PHONE: I9000UGKG3

CSC: Unknown

I expected the I90** entries, what I didn't expect was the CSC: Unknown. I used Odin to flash without the CSC checked. So I may need a copy of the ATT/USA CSC file for the I897.

Everything seems fine, but I wondering if the unknown CSC is the cause of the text messages stopping working.

TIA,

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguin359:
My guess is that your Messaging database is corrupted. First install SMS Backup and Restore and do a backup as a safety precaution. Then install Titanium Backup and backup all system and user apps. The former app understands how to backup the contents of the SMS database whereas the latter merely copies the files blindly which might be corrupted. After both apps have completed their backup, you can try wiping data on the SMS Messaging app with Titanium Backup. I believe it should appear in green in the list. If wiping the data fixes SMS, then you can try and restore your old messages with SMS Backup and Restore.

Lastly, you can always try doing a full Nandroid Backup from Recovery and then do a factory reset. If this fixes it, then it's nothing to do with the ROM flash itself, just the user data and you can try restoring just the data, and selectively wiping an apps data until it works.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mrwalls:
Just a quick Thank you. Wiping and restore cleared my sms problem. I found the cause (a little over aggressive with deactivating the stock messages app).

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] aww.W.T.F?:
It's not Andromeda it's your phone. Early model Captivates have a known problem of , well, ****ty GPS. Here are some settings you can try, no guaranty they will work but they might help.

In sgs tools go to secret codes then go to GPS- test and settings, Application settings, open

Session type - tracking

Test modes- s/w test

Operation modes - ms base

GPS plus - on

Dynamic accuracy - on

Accuracy - 50

Back out of that and go to SUPL/CP settings and open,

Server FQDN Type- Custom config

Server - supl.google.com

Server port - 7276

SUPL Secure socket - on

AGPS mode SUPL.

these settings work for me , most of the time, it's still a hit and miss somedays, can't explain why either. You can do a search and fine a bunch of different topics on this, and about as many ideas to fix it. Good luck.

Also, when you change any of the settings make sure you reboot your phone.

I have a really low volume on call with Andromeda3 installed... is there a way to address this with some fix?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] shutterbc:
I searched this thread for wireless tethering, but didn't come up with any results. I just tried it on my Captivate and it does not seem to be routing traffic (using the built-in Mobile AP function). Packets get to the gateway (the phone) and then nothing happens. I have used it successfully with other ROMs.

Data works fine on the phone, just not for any clients that connect to the phone.

Has anyone else had issues with this?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] penguin359:
Nope, I use the Mobile AP all the time successfully, a key reason for me to use a third-party ROM in the first place. What settings are you using on the phone? Are you using WPA Encryption? Can you post or PM me the IP Address/Subnet/Gateway/DNS Servers that are picked up by your wireless client? The Address and Gateway should be a private address in the 192.168.x.x range so it won't give anything away about your public location on the Internet.

when I click PDA and then click the ursaminor file odin will not recognize it. Whats up with that??
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] evolver10:
I apologize for the desperate questions. I was trying to flash on hardly any sleep in 2 days. I was pretty much out of my mind. That being said, as usual, I ran into issues that I had to figure out for myself. Downloaded ursa minor and andromeda3 from several places before I found files that Odin would recognize. Then once I got ursa minor loaded I couldn't get the Andromeda3 zip to drop onto my phone's root. Kept getting an error saying disk write protected try again. So then I got it to drop into the SD folder then moved it to the mount SD from the phone. Then everything worked like a charm. Seems like I always run into weird stuff like that when I try something. Anyway Andromeda is fantastic and I'm done flashing for a while. My hat goes off to you guys and gals that know how to develop all this great stuff. My brain explodes just trying to flash! Thanks again. Later.

Sure. Just so I know I have data connectivity, I'm posting from my phone while mobile ap is active.

Wpa2 encryption is being used. Did not seem to make a difference to use open mode though.

Subnet is 192.168.43.1/24. Client ip is 192.168.43.61. It is getting instant response from dhcp and can ping the gateway/dns at 192.168.43.1. There are no responses to dns requests from the gateway or a public one like 8.8.8.8 so I think nat/routing is not happening.

One more note; this seems to happen maybe 75% of the time; other times it can share the connection (very slowly). Still not sure why this feature works haphazardly for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RickHenry:
I don't think that us correct. I use Good for Enterprise also and used it for several weeks with this ROM and several other rooted ROM. The only issue I have had with Good is that it is the only app that I can't restore with tibu. Every time I flash a new ROM I have to get the key regenerated and install Good from scratch.

Okay so i, (like thousands of others) have rooted my captivate successfully and flashed ursa minor#2 and flashed andromeda 3....on two different captivate phones. First time went perfectly and is still kicking very hard! However the second go around on "MY" phoneis where im having the problem.

I have internet access and can recieve mms and sms messages as well as the market shows my apps as being free but not installed. My captivate tells me my item will be downloaded....but for some reason they never download. I have read through this thread looking for someone else with this issue but just cant find anything at this point.

Any help will be greatly greatly appreciatted!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scothran3:
;);)Well it seems that after flashing either andromeda3 or the ursa minor #2 on my cappy it changed the time in the market that says its been a while since i have used the market and this was why i couldnt download anything. Simple fix was to open market from app then from PC then log out and reboot....done!!!

However...:mad: grrrrr :mad:......after multiple downloads in the market tonight and a final reboot before the charging was to begin....The said reboot resulted in the world phone white screen showing up(which i have not seen since i rooted the first time and once after i flashed my kitchen zip. prob..a month? or so) and now in a continuous loop :eek:.....Ive tried to go into download mode by removing the battery then inserting the battery and holding the up + down button and at the same time injecting the usb cable (which only sends the phone back to the battery charge screen).....so i then tried to do the 3 button combo(which has never been a problem til now), that would send the phone into a combo of the battery charge screen for 3 seconds then to the world phone screen then back again (looping continuously). :confused::confused:

:( PLEASE tell me this isn't a job for the "Super JIG"???????:eek:
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Rule #1: If you can not get into download mode, there is nothing we can do for you. You need a jig or unbrickable mod to save your phone.

However, a boot loop is pretty common ( happened to me on firefly more than once) and you usually can get into download mode. So I would suggest just keep trying the button combos and if you can ever get it back into download mode try reflashing the rom or using odin to flash back to stock. I hope you had your data backed up because you are probably going to lose it.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Scothran3:
I hear ya capocaccia and i did have all my things backed up....Thank the lord!!!

I am able to get it into download mode from time to time and then flash a new rom including a kernel....but when i go to reboot i end up back in the same boat....same ole boot loop and grey battery charge thingy that flashes every 5 to 10 secs.....

That rule #1 is actually my rule number two.....my number one rule is research first....(well since this has happened anyway) lol

I think i might have actually had a I9000 bootloader and tried to flash another bootloader on top without going back to stock at some point....:(
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] capocaccia:
Ya from what you describe now you are going to need to find out what bootloaders you are on first.

If you are on the stock froyo or eclair bootloaders you can go to download mode and simply odin one click back to stock then your bootloop issues should be fixed. But if you arent, this could make things worse. I.D. which bootloaders you are running because if flashing a new rom didnt help you might have something wrong at either the bootloader or kernel level so please try and find out which bootloaders/kernel you are running. I know this sounds ridiculous since your phone doesnt start up but you either need to remember what it is that you flashed or look at the files you downloaded to determine what is on your phone.

Oh, and be more careful next time.

Well, I"m thinking I am about to the place I need to refresh my Andromeda load. I am having lockups. Its been installed for quite a long time, and has been great.

Given that I've been able to run it for so long, I'm concerned that I may be (I'm sure I am ) rusty. I'd like to be able to get back to exactly what I have in a worst case scenario.

In the past, I've tried to do a CWM backup (if I remember terminology correctly), by booting to recovery. But the 2-3 times I've tried that my restores were never successful.

I am running the ONIX 2.05 kernel.

Can anyone make recommendations to me on correct way to proceed? I presume I would go to recovery, select backup, then backup all.

Restoration is what I am not sure of. My thought is: Get Andromeda installed; then the Onix kernel; then boot to recovery and select restore all.

Chuckling here... I had done ROM installs so often before Andromeda, I was quite comfortable with the process. Its been long enough now, I am not comfortable at all:rolleyes:
