Nice I will have to check it out. Some people were saying the code was not out yet.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
Did this actually fix GPS, shutdown issues, phone and dialer lag among other issues?
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
If you go to the developer threads you can read all about cog in the first post, its pretty interesting to see all the added features :)

This was just released last week? Wasn't the Samsung stock 2.2 released over a month ago? Why would someone want the AT&T 2.2 over the Samsung one?
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
They're the same thing. There is no Samsung version or an AT&T version

[Captivate General] reventon1500:
When i go to manage applications in settings, all the ATT apps are disabled. there is no option to uninstall any of those apps like maps, music, hot spots and likes.

is there any other work around?

thanks
[Captivate General] scidon37:
Use Titanium Backup. Be careful what you delete though, you can't restore system apps from TiBu backups. Although you should be able to find them in these forums (look for Cognition removed apps).
[Captivate General] reventon1500:
So in future, if i have to revert to stock 2.2 without root, i won't be able to restore system apps and will have to use cognition removed apps way to do it. a simple superclick unroot wont work?

sorry for asking so many questions, just wanted to get it right.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
There is no such thing as Samsung stock 2.2. Samsung released 2.2 for international versions of Galaxy S last year. Canadian versions got theirs in Jan. 2011. US T-Mo version get updated Feb. 2011. AT&T version didn't get released until now. Each release targets specific hardware. Not exactly the same release.
[Captivate General] TonyV125:
Doh!

That was it. Thanks. I didn't realize that it started defaulting to saving to the gmail calendar, and I usually keep calendar syncing off (I don't need it). I really should have checked the settings first... Quite embarassing. :o
[Captivate General] scidon37:
If you flash back to stock, all the apps that were originally on the phone when you bought it will be back. What I meant was that if you remove a system app, you can't restore it from TiBu without re-flashing, or getting the .apk from somewhere else (TiBu doesn't backup system apps, only their data).

Unrooting doesn't restore any apps, only removes root privileges. Also, to clarify, DesignGears publishes the apps he removes from his Cognition ROM; I was suggesting that as a resource in case you do remove something you end up needing back later.
[Captivate General] TonyV125:
Here's a blow by blow update if anyone is interested...

Interestingly enough, after removing OCLF 2.2 and then EXT2 Tools, I still had better performance than prior to installing them. Quad score wasn't so high, but I've since read that it was never meant to measure what lag fixes do to a phone. Anyhow, battery performance wasn't any better.

Yesterday, at work the battery guage all of a sudden took a dive. When I was at about 25-30%, I decided to shutdown, pull the battery out and then put it back in, thinking that maybe this would be a better way to reset the phone. When the phone came back up, the guage was much lower and eventually got down to 8%!

I didn't have a power cord with me (rarely needed it in the past), so I tried not to use the phone until I got home. When I did, I decided to run the battery down to less than 5% and then do a full recharge. I know lithium ions don't have "memory" like Ni-Cd's, and that it's actually recommended to charge them more frequently, but bringing them down every once in a while supposedly helps calibrate the "fuel gauge" of the battery (if this battery has one). For the longest time, I couldn't get below 8%. I would play a game, go to a site utilizing a lot of Flash, watch videos and keep checking battery status in between under settings. Finally, I decided to do another shutdown and pull of the battery to see if it would change. After doing so the level read higher, 16%!

After that, I finally got the charge under 5% (browsing the photo gallery seemed to be one of the best ways to do it). That seemed low enough. I recharged it last night, and so far the battery doesn't appear to be draining as quickly according to the gauges on the phone.

I'll post more if the situation changes, but at this point I'm thinking a lot of the drain may have been due to not getting a true reading of the remaining battery life.
[Captivate General] chudak25:
Battery

I also noticed worse battery life after upgrading. I have AT&T's Captivate and it had 2.1 on it. No rooting on the phone, was all stock. I would be able to get anywhere from 15+ hours before the battery was down to like 10% after upgrading to 2.2, all of a sudden I'm at about 8-10 hours and thats not suing the phone that much. Wonder if I should try clearing everything out of the phone and then add all my apps back on and see if that makes a difference. I just cant stand a phone that cant last me from 7am till about 9-10 pm. Oh and my talk time is usually under one hour. Hope something improves soon.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
I just flashed cognition 4.1 (my first flash ever :) thank you thank you....anyways) I been on my phone moderate to heavy for about 5 hours now, and my batt life is @ 87%... This is a huge difference from stock 2.2 I was anti flash, untill I read about peopled seeing a better battery difference. Well worth it. And its still extremely close to stock. Do I recommend it? Yes. Check out the xda page, it comes with some goodies too :)

nagging window "The update was not completed"

Got my Captivate the first day it was released last summer, rooted it, everything was working great except GPS. There was an update last fall, I thought it would address the GPS problem, it did not. But, I started getting, after every restart, a notice on the phone from Device Managment: "The update was not completed", although I did have the update. I one-click un rooted and upgraded to froyo the day it came out. I am still stock and I get the update not complete (nagging) window a lot more now. Any suggestions? And, and, the GPS still sucks!! I'm getting the sense that the very early captivates had a GPS hardware problem. All thoughts are welcome.. Roger
[Captivate General] silver2wind:
I would agree with your guess. Just yesterday I exchanged my captivate through AT&T due to the inability for the GPS to keep a locked signal (on any number of stock and modded ROMs I tried, even from the first day out) and the new one seems to hold a GPS position accurately enough to use google navigation for a trip from the east bay into San Francisco. I'll see how long it holds out.
[Captivate General] mfpmax:
LOLOLOL

AT&T just sent me a text message telling me the 2.2 update is avaiable. Yeah thanks AT&T for the quick response!
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
LOL! I got it too! Soon we will all have 2.3.3 and show our middle fingers positioned precisely at 90 degrees to at&t :-)
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
I just got this text too....Too bad I'm all ready running a Froyo rom that actually works. Piss off AT&T /flipsbird
[Captivate General] zeusx64:
I about pooed myself but am glad the wait is over. Just rebooted into win to do the upgrade. :)
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Also, JUST got this. Wow they're slow.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
The wait was actually over on 2/24.
[Captivate General] rjayflo:
IF 2.3.3 Gingerbread is coming to the US...will the Cappy be able to upgrade if it is still running 2.1?? Or would Cappy owners have to upgrade to Froyo in order to receive Gingerbread??
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
I can't see why it would matter what firmware you're running.
[Captivate General] ERICK MENDOZA:
Shinji257. Since you are an AT&T member I was wonferibg. You know how AT&T send a link vua text message to everybody having a samsung captuvate to upgrade it to froyo 2.2?? I was wonderibg if you hve any idea how to root thia type of froyo due to the fact that I've gotten Update.zip folders and. When I try to install the packages it says error. That it cannot veryfy licence for rooting.. do you have any tricjs to be able to root and be able to install non-market applications into the samsung captivate??
[Captivate General] zelendel:
If you would have done a search you would have found that you have to do one of 2 things. 1. revert to 2.1 and flash a custom rom or 2. replace the 3e recovery that comes with the 2.2 update for 2e without the sig check
[Captivate General] aicirt17:
TiBU is the only backup that I have. Do you recommend, or is there any other method of backup that I can do with Eclair before tomorrow?
[Captivate General] A.VOID:
TiBU requires root. So if you are going to use the stock 2.2, then TiBU will not be able to be used.
[Captivate General] aicirt17:
Good point. I guess what I really want to know then, is when I upgrade tomorrow, am I gonna have to re-download all my stuff (pics, music, apps)?
[Captivate General] FLAC Vest:
That's how I feel man; I've been on 2.2.1 for months now thanjs to the awesome ROMs made by guys here.

Are there going to be any real benefits of using a ROM made by the stock firmware?

Rooted/ROM Captivate

[Captivate General] JohnnyDanger:
Last time I returned to stock with Odin I couldn't check for OTA updates. After looking around for a while I found if you clear data and cache in Device Management under applications then it will let you get OTA updates again. That was my experience a couple of months ago.

[Captivate General] fezzy102:
will we be able to root

if we upgrade to 2.2 will we be able to root with one click root?and then also would we be able to run firefly or another custom rom that is based of 2.2?or would it just be better to stay on the current awe inspiring rom that you are currently running?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Not entirely true. If you plan to root and reinstall your apps after upgrading to Froyo, then a TiBU backup is essential. I have several apps that require their data to be restored with them (a mileage tracker, a GPS tracker). I prefer not to lose all that data, some going back over a year. That's why I'll probably wait until an Odin and 1-click root for the new ROM comes out. That is, if I decide not to just stick with Andromeda.
[Captivate General] lnchbx:
Update

I tried the cognition 4. The promptly went to Paragon RC6. I like this one much better.:)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
I know it is essential. But when the underline OS changes (from 2.1 to 2.2), you may encounter tons of force closes using the TiBU restore (yes, that happened to a lot ppl when leaked 2.2 first come out). You may end up factory reset your phone anyway.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
no, You will need to search for SuperOneClick Root PC app in dev forum and doing it using a PC.
[Captivate General] captmiddy:
Doesn't this just figure. I spent hours on the phone with ATT about the fact that there was no date on this and that I had finally had it with the Captivate and I wanted an HTC Inspire, they agreed to sell me one for $74 and it is already shipping. This was on Monday, and then 2 days later an announcement shows up up. ARG!!! Well I will install their 'update' and see if it fixes my GPS and other issues but I will likely jump over to the Inspire anyway.

I guess I should just offer up my services to call ATT and complain when you all get tired and suggest they replace my phone then you will all get a new update ;-).
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
thats my question. we have had 2.2.1 so why the need for 2.2?
[Captivate General] gandalf21502:
Been running 2.2.1 Paragon 5.1, just updated to 6, no way I would go to stock 2.2 via AT&T with there bloatware...I am sure the developers will make some improvements to current roms. If you are running a custom rom, sit tight and wait for the updates...:D
[Captivate General] CatFan:
Since I have never managed to get Kies Mini to see my phone this isn't much news for me. I'll have to wait for OTA or better yet, XDA devs to cook a good ROM based on official source.
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
Why don't you call and complain it's not 2.2.1 w/Bt voicedialer?
[Captivate General] lmaoxlong:
This will be awesome if it turns out to be true..
[Captivate General] jamespaulritter:
I have Kies working just fine but when I go to 'Software Update' on my captivate it always says that there is no communication. It has said that ever since the B.S. update I did OTA months ago. Has anyone heard of this update OTA communication problem before.
[Captivate General] rjblack11:
not really sure how but you can delete something to get rid of that.
[Captivate General] Dnorwood:
Wait it won't have bt voice dial? Thought this was a major feature of froyo...
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
So anymore detail on the update as far as kies or ota?
[Captivate General] jahfry:
Funny about all the griping, at least it finally happened. Hopefully the custom ROMs can start working with noise cancellation now.

I know I'm in the minority (for this group, though I think I am more in line with a typical AT&T user otherwise) but I bought the phone to talk :) Noise cancellation on this phone has been a tremendous help for me, since the times I talk on the cell the most are when I'm in noisy places. I don't talk on the cell when at home.

I tried a few custom ROMs but ended up deciding they weren't worth the degraded voice quality that I was giving others. I would -love- to be able to have both.
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
I am running rooted stock to which I added the ported MobileAP (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=760193) from the i9000; anyone know whether that will need to be removed, and if so, how? It doesn't show up in Manage Programs

[Captivate General] Planswalker89:
Well it's about damn time...

I've had Perception 10.4 running, though, and it's working great for me right now so I'll just stick with it until some awesome 2.2 ROMS come out or something.

part of me considered going back, but I have a feeling that'll lead to more problems than it's worth. I like my phone as is right now, so I'll wait and see what happens.
[Captivate General] fezzy102:
Amen the devs have put such a great effort into these roms for us to enjoy we should enjoy them and not bug them to get new stuff out but let them enjoy building it on the 2.2 build and we can wait for the excitment to happen when thee ready to put stuff out.I'm happy as can be with fiefly. Been running it for 2 days and I can garuntee( red neck spelling) its way better then stock 2.2.
[Captivate General] zelendel:
It was stated that you will be directed to the Samsung site for DL and info so it will be over Keis. the Last OTA was such a huge issue bricking rooted and stock phones alike. OTA updates are a bad idea from the jump. To many things that can go wrong. Just my 2 cents of course but never will I do or advice anyone to do an OTA
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
Thank you. Hoping I do this early,, I'm trying to flash stock jf6 then grab this update.
[Captivate General] jlbryan24:
wow on my birthday too...sure wish the update had come sooner but complaining can only get you so far. Hope the source code helps the amazing developers make even better roms:)

[Captivate General] DoctorQMM:
Do we have to Unroot to get update?

Can anyone confirm if our i897 device must be 'unrooted' in order to be able to download (via Kies) new Samsung/AT&T 2.2 update? I'm still running 2.1-update1 JH7, but rooted just for a few root apps (TiBu, adbWireless, Root Explorer, CacheMate, etc). Was wondering if I left it rooted, wouldn't the new 2.2 update load fine (since I'm still JH7) but would blow my root (no pun intended) out... and I would just have to reroot to use my current root apps? Thx.
[Captivate General] Johnnie5000:
I choose to remain cynical. I doubt this pos they release will even have a gps fix in it.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
i know i was rooted when i did kies update with my rogers captivate... i was able to update, but did need to re-root using super-one click. z4 root didn't work with stock froyo
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
Hey everybody! I got the Captivate at the beginning of this month and I'm loving every bit of this phone. After reading about all the stuff about Froyo's release tomorrow, I've had some questions pop up in my mind. I apologize of the questions have already been asked (new member btw.) First off, I have my phone rooted but have not flashed any custom ROMs (pure, stock ROM.) So, my questions are:

1. If I update to Froyo tomorrow, will I have to re-root?

2. Are the chances of bricking my phone during the updating process high or low?

3. Are there any one-click rooting programs out there for 2.2?

Again, I apologize if these questions have already been asked but I really want to make my Captivate, well, MY Captivate. Rooting was such a great process to do (and really cleaned up my Captivate from all the stupid AT&T bloatware) and I would love to have Froyo rooted. Thanks in advance!
[Captivate General] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Aww man. This is like way over due! Pfhh i doubt it i'll go back! With all the bloatware.. and lag!

Puh lease. You know what they say! "Once u go custom, you'll never come back!"

Lol! ;)

kies 2.0

hi guys, i was wondering how could i upgrade my samsung captivate from kies, i already installed the kies version 2.0.0.11014_49, and when i try to connect my phone, it shows "This device is not supported by Kies 2.0", there is something that i can do to fix this?

thanks in advance.
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
Its crazy how this isn't as exciting as most thought, I mean look we already have two ROM's off KB1 as the base and most haven't even.tried it. I'm just hoping the source is out soon so dev's can go to town on kernel work and maybe even.better ROM's
[Captivate General] echelonMCRhartgrenade:
Hey! :)

What version of Kies are u using? As far as i know we're suppose to be using Kies Mini
[Captivate General] xinul:
i'm using the last version, 2.0.0.11014_49, is the kies version for windows, kies mini is only for mac os x.

thanks
[Captivate General] cnewsgrp:
Is the update "safe"? If we install the update will we lose the ability to root or install custom roms?
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
Bzzzt! Wrong. Kies Mini is the only one that will work with the stock Captivate and it is for Windows.

[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
If you were to attempt to connect your Captivate up to the Full Samsung Kies 2.0.0.11014_49 you would have a 1/1,000,000 chance of it actually working. Needless to say Kies Mini is the only way to (through Windows) update your phone. Until Samsung decides to get it together and make the Official Kies compatible with the Captivate and US devices.
[Captivate General] xinul:
oh, thanks a lot guys, sorry for the misunderstanding, i will install that one and try to connect the phone, i will let you know how it goes :D

thanks a lot again!
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
No problem, Things with Samsung/AT&T have been topsey turvey and just plain confusing for most. I'm quite anxious for the update tomorrow, been waiting a very long time for it.
[Captivate General] bam365:
Every week for 7 months, someone has started a new "WHERE'S MY OFFICIAL FROYO?!?!?!!?" thread on this forum. Now that it's actually coming out, most of us are completely disinterested. The irony is palpable.

I have to say though, even though this phone is no longer the baddest android on the AT&T block, thanks to the awesome modding community here I can see myself being satisfied with this phone for quite some time, which is great because I don't exactly have all kinds of money to be dropping on an Atrix+ETF.

Do I need to un-root for 2.2 update

I rooted my Captivate last summer, nothing else, do I need to un-root or factory reset for the froyo update? How do I un-root and how do I reset to factory?

Thanks..
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
Use the One Click Root method, there is a option on there to Unroot your phone, I would advise doing so before updating through Kies Mini. You can search One Click Root and it will pop up. Download that and follow the instructions (simple as anything can possibly be).
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
I'm pretty sure you have to unroot using the same method that you rooted with. I believe 1-click Root/Unroot only works for itself and not other rooting methods. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

You should unroot before any OEM update. I would do a TiBU backup beforehand, though.
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
You could be correct, I never really "unrooted" my phone I just rooted it and then I used Odin One Click to revert back to stock because I had 2.2 because I heard the official release was coming. Better to take Miami_Son's advice over mine though, but either way shouldn't hurt. One of them is bound to work just fine.
[Captivate General] ailanaimages:
Thanks..

Thanks for the quick response.. I read stuff here all the time, this was my first post. (I have screwed up simple things before, will keep you posted)..

Aloha,,
[Captivate General] stoobie-doo:
According to various Samsung twitter feeds: SamsungJohn, GalaxySSupport, and SamsungService (if I could figure out how to link to them, I would) - it will be Kies Mini only.
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
Your Welcome, Do let us know what comes of it though, Im interested to know myself on which method worked for you.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
As long as Kies Mini can recognize your phone (which you can try right now), you don't need unroot. Kies Mini works much like an automated ODIN: it automatically download the firmware and put phone into download mode and start flashing. So, it really doesn't matter what state your phone is (of course, you need to be on TouchWiz launcher in order to connect), it will just ODIN the entire firmware.

It's not like the JH7 OTA which only sends a small diff package (in order to same cell data usage) that will need your phone be in original stock form as close as possible.
[Captivate General] fldude99:
So..to throw a curve ball: what % of Captivate owners actually have even the faintest clue that there is an imminent update? 10...15...? When the remaining 90% hear of an update they will welcome it as just great...ATT how great you update my phone...that's it..the way it is...the real world..corporate world..but thats ok. I'm surprised that a stock release gets any run on XDA..other than what it can do for the devs
[Captivate General] oninjagaiden:
How many of you guys are going to check after midnight?
[Captivate General] PeteSeiler2010:
When I Open Kies Mini and plug my phone in with USB Debugging Enabled, I get Unregistered Device. I used Odin and flashed back to stock, is there anything I am missing? i even made sure all of the drivers were installed.
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
what a coincidence someone has the same idea that I had. Yes this was top on my agenda! I'm definitely going to be checking after midnight. But i'm doubting it's gonna be there right then.
