Are you certain about this?

After upgrade EasyTether no longer worked.

I tried disabling auto-start of Tethering Manager - no difference.

I then tried re-naming TetheringManager.apk to TetheringManager.apk.keep (which I believe should effectively remove it), reboot - still can't tether (with EasyTether), and tether menu still wants a contract...
[Captivate General] lyrad12:
we had the same situation, purely stock, rooted and oclf, never tried to flash rom,coz im noob, though do u think if I factory data reset my phone, the lagfix will go away?then ill do the official froyo update, I already backup everything, ready to factory data reset? thnx, cant update yet, still readng this kind of post
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
Does BusyBox need to be installed in order for Titanium to work? My phone is rooted but Titanium kinda told me "no, it's not" and said that I need to have BusyBox installed. Currently, I'm trying to get BusyBox installed but it's taking some time for it to check the system and whatnot.
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
I just tried the OTA update for ****s and giggles.

It proceeded to exactly 99%.

Then....

Communication failed message.
[Captivate General] DimSumGuy83:
*UPDATE*

Never mind! I got Titanium to work. I rebooted my phone (yeah, I'm a noob) and it worked!
[Captivate General] DoctorQMM:
Titanium Backup Pro requires BusyBox to be installed. To install it, open Titanium Backup.. on the bottom of screen (in white box) press "Problems"... this will automatically install the latest 'stable' version of BusyBox on your phone. It installed BusyBox 1.16.0 on mine (i know there's a newer version) but app has worked flawlessly for past 3 weeks after install. Hope this works for you.
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
Not in my opinion. I updated my wife's stock Cappy to AT&T's Froyo 2.2 update and then ran a Linpack on it. It got a decent 14.1. Compare that with a Linpack of consistent 15s from Paragon RC 6, out of the box, loaded on my phone.

I don't know about others, but why lose the freedom to do what you want with your phone when there are better hacked ROMs here on XDA than the AT&T 2.2?

I have been running Paragon 6 since yesterday, surfing the web, making calls on HSPA (faster than 3G which AT&T's Froyo 2.2 is at), connecting to my blue tooth devices, and more with excellent battery life, sound, and reception. It definitely "smokes" my wife's stock phone and hers may not be stock for long if she likes my phone better. :D

Oh, don't forget that with the stock tethering you have to subscribe to AT&T's tethering plan to activate it. With a custom ROM you do not.
[Captivate General] Dante04SRT:
I have Ti-Ba and don't have BusyBox - Never even heard of the two being inclusive...
[Captivate General] PhilipPeake:
Tried removing the .apk -- still doesn't work.

I think they learned their lesson with Rogers, and did something a bit more invasive this time.
[Captivate General] shinji257:
Thanks for that.

EDIT: I went and grabbed root explorer and renamed the file (so I didn't lose it). After that reset the phone and I'm golden. Tested browse on both mobile ap and usb modes.
[Captivate General] rnewton01:
no, a factory reset will not undo the lagfix. you need to run oclf and undo it through that program for the data system to be restored.
[Captivate General] shinji257:
If the root method doesn't install busybox for some reason then Titanium Backup will download 1.16.0 to make it work. Otherwise whatever version installed by the root method will work. Currently SuperOneClick Root is installing 1.17.2 when I did it earlier today.
[Captivate General] randyyy:
There's no way I'm leaving my Darky's ROM 9.2 for this AT&T 2.2 update :p
[Captivate General] LBCaptivate:
Are your contacts and apps lost when you do the update?
[Captivate General] xhozt:
i copied it and deleted it .. are u sure you mounted and RW .
[Captivate General] xhozt:
mine were not
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
I did a reboot and got the white software update gitvto 50% and failed. Lol
[Captivate General] Barsky:
So, now that we're all up on froyo (hehe sure) has anyone:

1) Tried to install themes? (done this with roms, but they are themes known to be fine on particular roms/kernels)

2) got a working lagfix? (This mistake of mine earlier caused me to redo it all. hehe)

3) Whatever other goodies we rom people like to do but I am forgetting at the moment....for instance, I have a theme for just the dialer I like?

Isn't this stuff fun. Phone Update Addiction ftw
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Can anyone help? Never been rooted or used a rom. Went to download kies mini and it downloaded fine. Even though my pc is win7 64bit. The phone synched up fine etc.

About 1/2 thru the download (downloading binary?) in kies I get this message.

I rebooted the phone and took the battery out etc and tried agian. Got about 1/4 way thru and did it again.

Then I thought that being on a 64 bit pc was the problem. Went to my Xp 32bit and installed all the drivers and kies and it synched up fine. Went to upgrade and got the same message... Ive tried this about 5 times on each machine lol.
[Captivate General] hrishi2das:
I had the same problem, changing my USB port from front to rear helped.

Also I did the emergency recovery.

P.S> really happy that my apps/data are preserved and no reinstalls needed except for setting the home screens,

But all this talk of custom roms, I might give those a try. Froyo didnt blow me away.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
im not familiar with what the emergency recovery is?
[Captivate General] sanderswm:
Glad the source code is out, looking forward to some fantastic ROMS from the devs. I'll stick with Firefly for now, since I can't figure out what else I would want my phone to do that Firefly doesn't.
[Captivate General] Seanbest:
Ran the OneClickRoot tool, said it rooted. Trying to run TitatniumBackup and it doesnt get su rights and I went to problems for BusyBox but it just says it failed.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Are you doing an OTA update instead of Kies Mini? OTA is still the old JH7 ROM and failure of update is quite common. 2.2 is available through Kies Mini only.
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
I'm on jf6 2.1+1

I tried it just to see what would happen. LOL

First time it went to 99% I rebooted and it went to 50%.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
Why are wasting your time on this? We already knew it is not going to be OTA and OTA is still JH7.
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
Finally got it! Went to my brother-in-law's house for better internet speed and it worked the first try. I installed Kies Mini and Samsung PC Studio on their machine, and connected the phone using Kies and did not use debugging. Everything worked without a hitch and so far I'm loving the new features.

The only weird thing I've noticed is the missing Quick Office icon. I can still open office files and such, but the program doesn't show up in the applications list and there is no icon for it anywhere. The first time I tried to open a doc file with it, it asked me to register Quick Office, which I did, but still no icon.
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
Like previously posted, I tried it out of my own curiosity. Is that OK with you boss man?
[Captivate General] gicuenitro:
Was all set to do this, but got a bit worried after I read someone had a problem by not removing lagfix before. I know this is going to sound silly, but I am very sick and memory is shot along with health....I cannot seem to remember if I installed a lagfix. Is there an easy way to check real quick before I do something stupid?

I was fairly knowledgeable with this, but cannot seem to remember how to do most of, it not all of this. Mainly been the reason why I have waited for stock 2.2. I feel in the dark when it comes to roms, kernals, etc. I am def. willing to learn though. Any thoughts? tips? Appreciated...

::Update:: After a bit more searching....feel stupid. I found some help. Sorry about the post. I'll do better next time. lol
[Captivate General] kb0npw:
Okay, weird but I just found Quick Office. There is an icon labeled "com.qo.android." and that is Quick Office. Strange, but true. Now If I can just find out how to rename it.
[Captivate General] :
Okay so I used Odin 1 click to go back to stock Eclair then did a master wipe to make sure everything is clear. I go to samsungs website get kies mini, open it and it updates itself. I connect my phone and I get a pop up box that says

"MiniApplication Launcher has stopped working, A problem caused the program to stop working correctly, close program."

I try again same problem, reboot my computer same problem, i use Odin again same problem! What am I doing wrong?

I'm using Windows 7 64bit, I think I read somewhere it has to use 32bit, is this true?
[Captivate General] blongs:
Uninstall IE9 and it will work again. You can always reinstall IE9 if you use it
[Captivate General] Caliesv:
OK, so, just got home and did the update, and i gotta say, its pretty quick for no lag-fix or anything. I'm really surprised. But anyways, hope everyone is doing ok on the whole upgrade process.
[Captivate General] jhightower31:
Do I need to do away with any traces of rooting on the phone before updating to 2.2?
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Anyone's Wifi runner really slow? Speedtest 3254/2635 should be in the neighborhood of 10000/3500, for me.

OK, wifi back to normal now. very spooky. wish I could delete posts :-\
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
Ok, so now that we all have 2.2, how do we get past the newest restriction that keeps Clockwork Recovery from working?

Geez, these people can't find enough ways to lock these things down!

Other than that, my update went smoothly. Lost no data or apps. Rooting went smoothly, and the bloatware was even still frozen from TiBu on 2.1. lol
[Captivate General] Krisbo:
Is it possible for someone to do a nandroid backup or extract a zip that can flashed with CWM? No matter what I do, Kies gives me the Unregistered Device error.

Thanks,

Krisbo
[Captivate General] JRd1st:
No, being rooted doesn't hurt you. Only if you have a non-stock ROM.
[Captivate General] factor27:
I'm currently running one of the leaked froyo builds. I guess I have to go back to stock eclair to install this (or any other custom ROM) right?

Will titanium backup preserve everything that I need before I do the restore?

After updating, what should I restore from the backup? I've heard horror stories where the restore can overwrite updated files with older ones. How do I avoid that?

Thanks for all of your help!
[Captivate General] jth747:
For anyone having trouble with kies mini on 64 bit win 7, I could not get it to work (lots of effort). I did put my phone in download mode as per samsung instructions and let it load the drivers to the phone, no help. So, i still have kies from before the last update on my machine, thought I would try it, long story short it worked fine, updated no prob, kept all apps (lost shortcuts), all contacts and txt messages, GPS is fantastic (hope it lasts). So, if you can't get kies mini to work for you, there seems to be an alternative (worked for me). Use at your own risk of course.
[Captivate General] Barsky:
Anyone's Wifi running really slow? Speedtest 3254/2635 should be in the neighborhood of 10000/3500, for me.

not sure how I duplicated this trying to edit a typo. sorry
[Captivate General] :
Wow, thanks it worked no problem. I wonder why IE9 interferes with Kies?
[Captivate General] jhightower31:
Then I just re-root with SuperOneClick correct?
[Captivate General] byteme2008:
I got the quickest Speed Test result I have had on my Captivate on my home network since I have owned the unit after today's update to 2.2. I have been stock since buying the phone. Fastest previous was 12mbps down, 2mbps up but is usually around 8mbps down if I am lucky (yeah, I know my upload sucks lol). Today after updating to 2.2 I was a shade over 18mbps down and 2mbps up.

Also got nine satellites to lock on the GPS today - never had that happen before (I know that may diminish with time but we will see).
[Captivate General] Hurricane Andrew:
Here we go. Upgrade went well. Was rooted, but still running stock rom. Used kies mini on win xp. Took all of about 10 minutes, and half of that was stuck on the s screen on reboot.

Was able to root using super one click. Biggest downer is gps was working nicely before, not so much now. Also, circle battery mod won't install. Fails at file verification.

Speed is better, quadrant score was around 900, now 1000. Phone is definitely snappier.

All apps (tested so far) have survived the upgrade with data intact. Still upset about gps, which for me has always worked very well (got my cappy in august), but I'll work on it in the coming days. Hopefully a nice battery mod will surface too.
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
I figured out what my problem was. My internet connection was terrible. Keep getting that error when it was basically unusable. Now that i reset my modem and router its working:)
[Captivate General] wolanm:
Same thing

Same thing happened to me :confused:
[Captivate General] Pierce533:
I can confirm that Kies (not mini) also worked for me in upgrading my wife's phone.
[Captivate General] canoners:
Does anybody know why I get "Firmware version: Unsupported device" on my Kies Mini?

It's stock, not rooted, no custom ROM.

Thanks.

Market update

How long does it take for the Market to update itself? On 2.1Update-1 it would update quickly. I upgraded to 2.2 this morning and my Market is still the old one.
[Captivate General] shapid0908:
Is bluetooth voice dialing working for you?

Bluetooth voice dialing is not working for me (the feature I was most looking forward to in this update). I have seen some reports of others experiencing the same thing. Does anyone have bluetooth voice dialing working?

Note: I'm using a Jawbone Icon headset.
[Captivate General] gadgetguy681:
Battery Full Before Upgrade

Do I really need to have a full battery before installing the upgrade to froyo? I'm only at 30 percent and really don't want to wait.:(
[Captivate General] fldude99:
I don't believe BT voice dialing works in 2.2. Need 2.2.1..just another reason to flash a custom rom
[Captivate General] gio22:
I believe that function is available on 2.2.1, not 2.2 that AT&T and Sammy released
[Captivate General] bdpyo:
Can you goto a support center and have them update it for you?
[Captivate General] mafo5000:
Help?!

ok ok so my phone is rooted, like most ppl. ive been trying to find out if your phone is rooted and they push out a new update should u unroot and update or just update it? im a noob to all this rooting stuff sorry:D lol

if you can answer this question shoot me an email:

mafo5000@gmail.com

thanks(:
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It's already been done. Both ODIN version and CWM version are avaialable a few days before this official release.
[Captivate General] gio22:
Guess I'm lucky

I was running Serendipity 5.11 this morning when the official Froyo was released. I ran Odin and then ran Kies on Win 7 x64. All worked without a hitch. I then rooted with the 1-click app and so far so good. Now just looking for some excellent updated ROMs from the chefs. However, I don't have CWM running successfully yet on my phone. That is my only glitch. As this is 2.2 and not 2.2.1, I'm thinking of going back to Serendipity 5.11 or one of Cezar's ROMs. I really feel like I've gone backwards. I'm assuming I can go back to Serendipity 5.11. Am I correct with that? Thanks!!
[Captivate General] xhozt:
uhhh never got a straight answer on not being able to flash recovery ... any one ?
[Captivate General] fldude99:
Once "upgraded" to this official 2.2, if one cannot root and use tibu, then is that going to throw a big wrinkle into being able to flash a custom rom and use tibu to restore apps and data?
[Captivate General] NascarFastcar:
Something I noticed about the gps after this update.

Using sgstools and gps test.

I went back to the stock gps settings...

SUPL/CP Settings/SErver FQDN Type/Custom Config

Application settings/Operation Mode/Standalone

SUPL/CP Settings/Server/www.spirent-lcs.com

SUPL/CP Settings/Port/7275

Then after the update i deleted the gps data and let it get a lock via sgstools.

Then after I got a lock I backed out and did the gpsrestore ap via samsung.

Now I notice that the gps satellites appear all the time in gps test even when the gps icon isnt present in the notification bar... I guess it's either finding sats very fast or its making use of the hot start much better.

Also make sure you take off "Use wireless networks" under location and security under the Location and security tab. This is why people are getting so called locks real quick.

Has anyone been using the supl.google.com settings aswell? Im gonna keep the stock settings and play around with navigation and tracking tomorrow. Then try supl.google etc.. Which always got more locks on eclair then stock but the tracking was still terrible.
[Captivate General] foxbat121:
It CAN be rooted and use TiBU.

Searched thru this thread and didn't see anyone with a market problem.

[Captivate General] gicuenitro:
Gotta download Kies Mini. Links are strung out thru this post. Load Kies, put your phone in debugging(so kies sees it) and connect it to your pc. Follow the prompts...should be good. Make sure you are running the stock launcher and do not have lagfix installed. Updating a rooted phone is o.k. And, the greatest part is that you shouldn't lose any of your data, but backup everything jic.

Hope it helps! if not, tons of genius here to help...i'm just not one..lol
[Captivate General] tvujec:
Captivate on Rogers doesn't have audience noise cancellation chip like ATT version. This is the reason why NONE of the ROMs out there could've supported it before this release.
[Captivate General] Kchrpm:
I'm having a weird issue. I followed the instructions exactly, have Kies Mini up and it sees my Captivate (non-root), but when I click the Phone Upgrade button it just minimizes the window for about 5-10 seconds and then it pops back up. None of the upgrade dialog shows up.

External SD card help...

Successfully unrooted... installed 2.2 update.... re-rooted... all is 99% perfect... with one exception... I forgot to take my external SD card out before flash! Here's the strange part, all of my music, and pics show up in MusicPlayer and Gallery; however, when I use a any File Manager (Root Explorer, Astro, etc) no files show up on my /sdcard/sd. I have 6 or 7 folders, none display. Anyway to correct this? Thx.

EDIT: in case anyone else runs into this... figured it out: Eclair 2.1 external SD path is: /sdcard/sd. Froyo 2.2 external SD path is: /sdcard/external_sd All is good. For some reason after flash it left the /sd folder in /sdcard (with 2 of my folders, but empty). All my stuff is in /sdcard/external_sd
[Captivate General] whitesox311:

[Captivate General] jahfry:
I flashed the KB1 update today on mine and my wife's phone. She's happy with it at that point. I took the time to do some tweaks like removing bloatware, killing boot sounds, etc.

I'm still going to stick with stock for now. We're happy with the upgrades and the fact that we have 2.2 while keeping the noise cancelling chip active. I'll be keeping an eye out for custom ROMs possibly adding that feature, but I don't -need- them.

The trick for removing TetheringManager0114.apk has worked like a charm and I really like having a WiFi tether that isn't an ad-hoc network solution.

Overall, for people not so set on custom ROMs, this ROM works fine and 2.2 is definitely a nice upgrade. Then again, I've been lucky in that my GPS has "just worked" on this phone (my first Captivate was a different story).

Stoobie, I am not the right person to fully answer your question, but I figured I would help. I know it can be a pain, but maybe not with FIOS speed. Run through the pages of this post from like page 20+ somewhere in the late 20s or 30s there was one or two people that had the exact same problem. I have no idea on exactly how to fix it, but I know they got a bunch of help with it. If I remember right, it might have to do with your 64bit edition of win7. Sounds silly, but there were all sorts of odd problems today. Thank god they had some smart, friendly devs in there helping everyone out.

Hi Doctor,

i had rooted 2.1 before i did 2.2 update. The update was successful without any issues. :)

I would like to root 2.2 again since original is too slow. Can you point me how to do root for 2.2 captivate?

Would appreciate if you can give links or steps.
