Well I think we all know where I stand. Not gonna happen. Why give up all the bounces of 2.2.1 for a laggy bloated stock rom lol, Just my 2 cents
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
Don't put it in USB Debugging mode, it's supposed to work without that. Plug it into your PC and watch the screen on your phone go from "initializing" to "connected" and while your doing all of this make sure kies is already opened to where it says "plug in your device" you have to give it a second even after you have plugged it in and it will automatically go to the update screen.
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
NICE! Just another step forward.
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
I reset my Cappy to stock, removed root, reformated my sd card, all for the new Froyo 2.2 release. I then flashed to Paragon RC 6. I just can't bring myself to turn back to the darkside. :D
[Captivate General] zelendel:
To get Kies working I had to put it in debugging mode just not mount it. Even in the directions on the samsung site it states to but it in debugging mode

Edit sorry it was the ATT site

On the phone, USB Debugging should be enabled. To do this, go to Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging. Tap Ok to the message.

Plug the cable into the phone and then into the computer. The computer should detect new hardware and install automatically. It will do this for several devices and may take a few moments.

Unplug the cable from the phone and power off the device. Hold down both the volume up & down keys while inserting the data cable. The phone will enter a Downloading mode. The computer will then install the rest of the driver files. If there is a problem with Windows finding the driver, let it search online to grab them. Once the computer has finished, unplug the device from the computer, remove the cover, remove the battery, insert the battery, and place the cover back on. Lastly, power on the device.

Restart the computer.;
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I agree. You have to put it in debugging mode first
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
That's weird because it worked for me multiple times never once using USB Debugging.....hmmm guess it's different for some people. Im running on Windows 7, don't know if that makes much of a difference

Edit: I just tried it again without USB debugging mode and everything connected just fine.
[Captivate General] keller.jeff:
Anyone have a link to download the rom yet? I can't wait to tear it apart...
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
I didn't have my phone in Debugging mode. When it gives you the 3 choices: Mass Storage, Kies, and Media Player, I chose Kies (duh) and Kies Mini recognized my phone.
[Captivate General] keller.jeff:
If you backed up your /efs, you may have to restore it to get kies to work.
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
It's So Sad

I honestly think it's kind of ignorant that the full Samsung Kies can't even support the U.S. devices yet. They came out with 2.0 which (here it comes) gives it a whole new look but where is the support????? common!
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
I was on youtube searching for videos on how to root 2.2 and apparently, there are people that have Froyo (which I'm guessing is that leaked version that went pretty crazy) rooted using something called Z4Root. Perhaps I'm being too optimistic about this but could it be our answer to a simple one-click rooting solution?
[Captivate General] adaptabledna:
Yes it is the leaked version, I had the same thing but I used the One Click Root, the thing with Z4Root is that your phone already has to be rooted to use it since it's a non market application (ATT restrictions and all that)
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
There is already a pretty simple solution in dev section called SuperOneClickRoot. search for it and it works as it claimed.
[Captivate General] PeteSeiler2010:
I found out what was wrong, from flashing i9000 roms it changes the product code of the captivate from SGH-I897ZKAATT to SGH-I897ZKAKOR. Kies will not recognize the phone until you change it back using a hex editor, I found this very useful post using google....

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=780509&highlight=Product+Code

In case anyone else has this issue, I did the searching, it was very easy and major props to the original poster.
[Captivate General] sclRanger:
You can side load it. I am unrooted and have side loaded many non market apps. Use this:

Kies Mini is now updated to 1.0.0.11014_6.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
I'm actually surprised so many are wanting to flash this gimped and bloated ATT Rom.

I'm just excited for the source to be out so we can get some roms based off of it.
[Captivate General] no driver:
Some of us want to flash this gimped and bloated ATT Rom for family members who can't be bothered to try any custom ROMs.
[Captivate General] chasesavestheday:
also cant stand applications that dont let me choose the installation path. some people have ssd's there days! just like shotty google chrome.
[Captivate General] qwertyaas:
I'm referring to all those asking if they have to un-root their phones, flash to stock and what-not to flash this.

If you are already using a custom rom, this will 99% be a step backwards. If you are on 2.1, then obviously you should be excited for it.
[Captivate General] PeteSeiler2010:
Well for me, I have an issue with every custom ROM I flash. i used the app HeyTell, and for some reason or another, when using it on the stock Captivate ROM, it works flawlessly. If I try using it on a custom ROM its flaky and rarely works, if there would be a way to fix that, I would love be running a custom ROM again.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Im on stock eclair. Never been rooted etc. Will I lose my apps during the update? Most are sideloaded...
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
I've been wondering that also. I've installed over 75 apps and only 1 was sideloaded with Sideload Wonder Machine. All others came from the market. Mine is un-rooted, running stock Eclair.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
You lose everything during an update.
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
Thanks foxbat for your suggestion on the SuperOneClick.

Kies or Mini Kies

I have both Kies and Mini Kies on my computer. I did a reflash to stock, when I started Mini Kies it updated to the latest version, but when I plug in my phone it crashes right away. I tried Kies and it recognized my phone and updated to JH7. My problem is will I be able to update to 2.2 with Kies or only Mini Kies? If Kies then I'm good to go but if update only available through Mini Kies then i'm in trouble.

I'm running Windows 7 64 bit, have the correct drivers, have unistalled and reinstalled Kies, and have rebooted the computer. Mini still crashes and Kies still works. My phone has JH7 on it now with no changes, all stock, and no apps.

What do you think I should do?

I know I probably should've just stayed with Cog4 but want to test drive the official untouched 2.2 .
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
I have the older kies, before the last update (or 2, not sure) and my phone connects everytime. I did the update once, and I wasn't able to connect, so I went back to the previous version.
[Captivate General] tat2messiah:
everyone keeps saying use kies mini.. i install it it regonizes the phone but instantly crashes cant get it to work at all any help would be appreciated
[Captivate General] mwilhelm:
Really? That doesnt sound right. I mean, it's an update not a format of the entire phone. I can't imagine any non-technical person ever upgrading - ever!

Sent from my...
[Captivate General] blongs:
My update went fine from JF6 to JH7 on Kies, I just can't get Mini to work.
[Captivate General] Dave the Knave:
Well technically, not everything. Your internal/external sd card stays untouched, but settings/apps/messages/memos/wifi access points/bluetooth connections/etc get deleted.
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
Wish I knew how to help, sorry
[Captivate General] matt868686:
does anyone think a similar work-around will be available for us?

(won't let me post the full link, but copy/paste into a browser works)

admin.androidcentral.com/how-manually-update-your-epic-4g-android-221-froyo

i guess it depends on whether or not samsung gives us the update.zip. kies mini refuses to recognize my captivate i've tried literally everything... i'm thinking my 64-bit windows is the issue.
[Captivate General] pmorales35:
I had problems with Kies Mini too, but it was after all that nv_data crap. I was able to restore it along with my product code and voila. Kies mini recognized it then allowed an upgrade to jh6. I flashed Phoenix after that, but I now know that the product code was the issue
[Captivate General] dp1mat:
Yea mini didnt work for me. I had to oden 1 click. Then root then fire up root explorer copy my nv_data. Reflash oden one more time. Then do master clear. After that mini kies works. I never had this problem till I started using 2.2 and 2.2.1 roms.

What is the best way to backup contacts besides export to SD card? I have been using Android Manager WiFi. http://global.mobileaction.com/product/product_AM.jsp Are ther any other good apps for a non rooted phone?
[Captivate General] Thare187:
Google Contacts

[Captivate General] bames:
dont believe 64bit system is problem

i have working kies and kies mini on 2 different 64 bit win7 systems
[Captivate General] LBCaptivate:
In order for this to work you have to first take all you phone contacts and then save them as Google contacts. To much work, unless you know of an easier way to get them all into google without having to enter them one by one.
[Captivate General] LBCaptivate:
I could not get mine to connect until I enabled USB debugging. Now it tells me I have the latest firmware when I connect. I just plugged it in and got the updatepage. Update is not out yet. I just did this. Under USB Settings I have "Ask on Connection" enables.
[Captivate General] bubbinator91:
If you are running Windows 7 64-bit, then that is where your problem lies. There is some sort of weird bug in kies mini that causes it to crash on most 64-bit systems. You need to find somebody with a mac or 32-bit Windows.
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
I run Windows 7 x64 and mini-Kies works flawlessly. If there is a problem with the mini it is best to uninstall it, and uninstall any other Samsung drivers for the Captivate, then reinstall mini-Kies and make sure to get the latest version and update it if necessary through the application.
[Captivate General] KewlRobD:
Uninstall IE9

I have not been able to get Mini Kies to work for about a couple of months now. It would crash as soon I connected my captivate. I have read that it was a windows 7 64bit problem. This made sense to me since I am using that OS but then I would read posts from people who have had success on the same OS. I finally read somewhere that this is a compatibility issue with IE9 both beta and RC1. If you have this issue and have any version of IE9 installed try uninstalling IE9. This worked for me.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Whats the current version of Mini Kies? Im on windows 7 and have v1.0.0.11014_6 and it's running fine.
[Captivate General] Miami_Son:
AT$T Contacts also allows you to sync to their servers and restore from them. If you have online access to your account you should be able to do it before the update.
[Captivate General] matt868686:
AMAZING this worked!! thanks so much
[Captivate General] xpratherx:
I put Twingerbread 3 on like 4 days ago and cant imagine looking back. No issues whatsoever so far, other than the 100% battery shutoff, but have Cap Keep Alive. Not even worth looking at untill the awsome devs here top their own work that Stock can never come close to. Some of them should be showing these companies how to do it right.
[Captivate General] franksig:
Just export your contacts to a VCF file then import them into google. Very easy and you get a good backup of your contacts to save somewhere.

Hey guys, I'm loving the MIUI Rom! However I'm having problems keeping themes...

For example I was on g4arb4ge's miui rom and applied the iphone 4 theme. But I kept getting random reboots and my phone would freeze. So I tried the elite pro theme... same results.

Any solutions on how to fix this? Any kind of help would be great...

Btw, I got my themes from the miui-dev sit if that's of any importance....
[G2 and Desire Z Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] burtcom:

[Atrix 4G General] youareme7:
This is more of an FYI post than anything else; ifixit tore down the Atrix this morning and it was detemined that it contains the Broadcom BCM4329 wifi/bluetooth chipset; which DOES include FM radio with RDS.

http://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Motorola-Atrix-4G-Teardown/4964/2

http://www.broadcom.com/products/Bluetooth/Bluetooth-RF-Silicon-and-Software-Solutions/BCM4329

So it is there, think it will be enabled with an update like I heard the Droid X did?
[Atrix 4G General] nsaia:
Man I really hope so. This is a no brainer.
[Atrix 4G General] crawlgsx:
Who cares? Radio Zzzzzz that's why Pandora etc. exists. FM is lame, crap quality and commercial bloated.
[Atrix 4G General] netboy:
Any added feature is welcome and there are people who like to listen to radio DJs and talk shows.
[Atrix 4G General] domin8:
yeah i love the local morning radio here and would like the fm app since its not listed on tunein
[Atrix 4G General] Inspiredwire:
I care. Not necessarily for listening to Top 40 radio, but getting local traffic, weather, emergency information without having to rely on Internet access through ATT. Second, my local gym broadcasts TV sound over FM.

According to the Broadcom specs. this chip can also transmit over FM (perhaps to car FM for listening to stored music?). So why waste a bunch of $ for a clunky FM transmitter when it's built right in to the phone?

Somebody out there must have the technical prowess to figure it out.
[Atrix 4G General] hotleadsingerguy:
Most people don't care about listening *TO* FM radio...it's about broadcasting *ON* FM radio. The ability to broadcast your music over FM means you could play music in your car without plugging it in or using bluetooth.
[Atrix 4G General] clubtech:
Looking at how at&t went far and beyond to cripple this phone, i doubt they will enable anything on it.

Disable more features with the upcoming update is more likely.
[Atrix 4G General] kenyu73:
Install Tunein radio. Most stations stream over the internet and this app makes it nice and simple to grab these radio stations.
[Atrix 4G General] James62370:
Thank you for your suggestion, but I already have Tunein Radio, however there are some stations which I like to listen to which are not available on that app. Also, where I live, Internet Access comes and goes so I cannot do my walk/run without constant interruption with Tunein Radio.

Hopefully there will be some sore of remedy soon like what they have done with other Motorola phones.
[Atrix 4G General] mn3kgtvr4:
Ridiculous that FM isn't enabled. I bought mine a week ago and just assumed it had FM since my last 3 phones had it. Never thought it wouldn't so didn't check! I've got an awesome local station called The Current that I can't live without and really don't care to risk data overage charges just to listen to it on my phone. Silly ATT.
[Atrix 4G General] ixohoxi:
Well not everyone uses Atrix on AT&T. I use Simple Mobile, which is on T-Mobile, and can only use EDGE. So FM receiver are very welcome (also transmitter).

I'll use my example here: Also Atrix was just made available in Thailand where Internet radio is really unpopular. Although that there are several 3G providers in Thailand, the quality and consistency are on the low par. More than that, the 3G coverage is very limited. On the other hand, traditional FM radio is very very common and popular across the country so phones without FM capabilities are the first to be easily cut off from the customer's choices.
[Atrix 4G General] DJ_Steve:
i should mention that the bcm4329 also has inbuilt fm TRANSMITTER ability which ive never seen enabled on any device as yet though :(
[Atrix 4G General] crnkoj:
the atrix doesnt have an RF chip and an antenna for the FM radio, so it FM radio is quite surely not doable as such
[Atrix 4G General] DJ_Steve:
the fm is part of the bcm4329 module, and the antenna is usually the headphones
[Atrix 4G General] Magoodigan:
it makes me angry that this phone has so many features that cant even be used :(
[Atrix 4G General] chriscerv90:
You can use TuneIn radio....
[Atrix 4G General] MdX MaxX:
What else is there that can't be used?

The locked bootloader isn't really a disabled feature, it's just a locked gateway into the development of more efficient ROMS.
[Atrix 4G General] chria01:
I assume he is talking about the hdmi webtop that is disabled unless you buy the expensive dock.
[Atrix 4G General] eedna:
the tvs at my gym broadcast on fm, id appreciate this considering i still cant use netflix so im formatting and adding/deleting tv shows to watch on the treadmill every couple of days now
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] stigdu:
When I turn my phone on, and then slide down to unlock, it very briefly shows me the 'main' screen on my 7-page wide homescreen (the one that shows the time and shortcuts to email, people, etc) but then quickly zips across 2 'pages' to the left without me even touching it. Like page 2 rather than the middle one, page 4, the default screen when I turn it on from sleep.

Does anyone know why it might do this?
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TMSsecret:
Make sure you don't come near your htc desire trackball, if I assume you have a desire! In my experience with my desire it is some times very sensitive to the smallest movement (skipping 7 screens when trying to switch 1 screen)
[Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RonSykes:
I always found the Sense UI very buggy when it came to managing the screens. I would sometimes loose all widgets and shortcuts until I switched to an empty screen then back again. Or it would jump to the last screen randomly when an app closed.

Just get rid of Sense UI and you won't have the problem (you may want to wait until your warranty is up).

I was trying to find a working version of the HTC Input keyboard with Cyanogen 7 because I really don't like the stock keyboard. Just wanted to share that I found one, not sure if everyone already knew or not but I thought I may as well just in case.

here's the link

The version that works is the High Res(Froyo/2.2), I haven't tested very much but it seems to be working fine.

As a side not, anyone know if there is any way to get the HTC Camera app working on cyanogen? I miss the effects etc. but am loving CM7 at the moment :)

(N.B. I am using CM7 Nightlies #4)
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] tmhaohong:

gimpsta.com

sign up and make your own keyboard. customer ones.. v27 froyo works with cm7 rc1. just checked..
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] gravis86:
Because HTC wasn't nice enough to share the source code for the FM radio with the developer community. So the only way our developers know of to turn on the radio is to power up the whole chip, which includes bluetooth. Without the small amount of proprietary HTS code we are helpless to turn it on by itself.
[G2 and Desire Z Themes and Apps] jmwils3:
according to my newsfeed, though, the desire z source code was fully released a few days ago. Was the fm radio source code not included?

Seriously?! No offend, but do you have a clue what kind of connection you have on your G2?? And do you have a clue what that cable is?? LoL

To answer your question, NO. That is a micro HDMI cable. It is NOT possible. G2 doesn't have micro HDMI port. Only micro USB.
