If you are having problems with odin, Use heimdall to flash the initial kernel... it is easy to use and is more reliable. There is a these about it on the l9000 development forums. Works on Linux, Mac and windows. I don't trust Odin and I don't use windows.

anyone having issues with watching youtube videos?
[Captivate Android Development] SirBrettrick:
Alright, so I've read through every page and it looks like only one other person has mentioned having my problem -- and he was never really answered. I have no problems getting CM up and running on my phone, at least the initial build. However, when I try to install any update through CWM, I'm left with a phone that will only boot to the AT&T logo screen, and I can only get CM to boot again by reflashing the initial kernel. It doesn't look like the build "took" at that point, since I have a permanent WiFi "Error" message and I'm not able to change the CPU governor settings (which are supposed to be fixed in the update). Anybody have any ideas as to what I could be doing wrong? Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
Yea somewhat
[Captivate Android Development] angrystraw:
im having a problem watching any videos while my signal says 3g, sound plays but no picture

but when my signal says H, im good to go (same thing with wifi on no signal while 3g)
[Captivate Android Development] ward24:
That's the only problem I'm having other than that this is the best
[Captivate Android Development] zas0006:
The only problem I have is every so often my phone just starts ringing. It wont stop until I reboot the phone. I think it has to do with the blacklist but haven't been able to nail it down. Any ideas or suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I've been running CM7 for a week and I'm extremely happy with it. I haven't had one single fc or reboot. Only thing is that I can't login on Facebook from account and sync. Anyone know how to fix that, if not its cool cuz I can sync with the fb app from the market.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
If I'm not mistaken it might be because google stopped supporting that to stop the false feel that the contacts were actually on your phone.

I don't know if that actually went in to 2.3 or not, but I remember reading that on the news a while back.

Edit: Here's the link for the article. Looks like this is for the Nexus S but didn't we steal code from them?

http://techcrunch.com/2011/02/22/google-android-facebook-contacts/
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
The Facebook account sync worked for me so it looks like we are exempt.

As for a possible fix, I just logged into the Facebook app then went into settings and selected sync all contacts. Then I went into the Facebook account settings unchecked then rechecked sync contacts. That got things going.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Hi I just flashed this last night and everything looks like its working fine except for it not recognizing my microSD card in my storage settings. It finds my internal SD card but not the MicroSD. Although I can access it in my gallery for say when I want to change the wallpaper.

Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] bassnfool:
Known bug.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Well what I use to do was sync my contact through the SNSync.apk that came stock on the cappy but now when I try to log in it fails and says try again later. Its the one on the bottom of the screenshot. Weirs that it won't work though.
[Captivate Android Development] DirtyRasa:
It's under mnt/emmc
[Captivate Android Development] r3ferrei:
For me I'm not using the snsync, I'm using the included Facebook app based sync which is the first one in your list I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Uhm.... You do realize that is a Samsung app right? And that 99% of them won't work on anything other than a Samsung rom?
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Well said... I don't think a lot of people realize this is not a Samsung ROM and expect to see the same things.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
I got the download and it works fine. But I can't seen to be able to add songs to playlists when I make em. It says "addtoplaylist not implemented" u having a similar problem?

[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
Any info on the RC0-kang release?
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
I think the problem is more like...

most people don't know what parts are from samsung and what is from stock.

I would hope that if someone was flashing this they know its not from samsung.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
Yea its the first one. I too am using the Facebook app since it the only way to sync contacts.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I was thinking that but wasn't sure if it was, but thanks for letting me know.
[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
test build, do not download/use
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
I realize it's not a Samsung rom I just wasn't sure about that apk.
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
People need to stop using the Original back to stock file, the one by DG. Not sure why people keep using that and keep losing the 3-button.

use this instead http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=818439 this STOCK has the 3-button fix included. USE THIS TO GO BACK TO STOCK!
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Alright and it not showing up on my computer through my phone a known bug also? Or do I need new drivers?
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
You need the nexus s drivers I believe.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Hmm I thought I heard that also, I shall give it a try.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I think the nexus s drivers is so you can use adb, its a known issue that you cannot access external plugging into the computer as well as external not showing up on the phone. It comes up as /mnt/emmc.
[Captivate Android Development] stacio88:
That's right, its for adb and so you can access you internal SD card through you computer. Currently there's no way to access the external SD.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
+1 That was me and for the life of me I still haven't been able to get it to work. It acts like everything install fine but when rebooted att screen stays on. I THINK but not certain something must take place since my build number changes in about phone but no one has said what build they show for 0311. I hope this can get figured out. It is working so good I don't want to go back. I also have not had one wifi sleep issue even with changing it to turn off when phone is off. So I am guessing at least part of the updates have taken. ANYONE with ideas for the two of us? I have redownloaded EVERY initial kernel, zip, updates in case I had bad downloads. Please help...

[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
The one click from DG works fine if you have one of the phones that don't suffer from the 3-button failure. I always use it and have no problems. You just need to understand what your phone is and use the one that fits it.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Are you using the 3 button combo to get to CWM recovery? I don't think you can use ROM manager to get to recovery as it is different then the 3 button combo.
[Captivate Android Development] LGSilva:
Ooops... hahaha. Too late now
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yes. Followed everything to a tee and everything works fine for the past 4-5 days. I can cwm with 3button and change to the cm7 modems with no issue. I just cannot use any cm7-update.zip. or try out the OC kernels. They both will apply in cwm, show no errors while formatting, updating, anything. I then go back to REBOOT from cwm and it stays on the att screen. I then have to connect via Odin 1.7 and flash the initial kernel and I am right back with the original Tom. ( I am not reflahlshing to update.zip but the initial-kernel)

PS. I have also went back to stock formatted internal SD card, and started over completely.

[Captivate Android Development] SirBrettrick:
Same here. I have downloaded all the files multiple times to rule out a bad download. And I have flashed back to stock and Master Cleared in order to have a completely clean start. I don't ever touch ROM Manager, nor would I have any need to since CWM 3.0.0.5 is included with the initial. Everything works smoothly (or as smoothly as it's supposed to) with the initial -- I only have problems trying to flash any and all updates. The only thing I could think that might help at this point would be if there were a full ROM with all the updates, as opposed to just an update package.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
When it is stuck at the at&t screen did you try a battery pull and restart. I know sometimes mine will hang and this works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Looks like an update has been posted for other devices.

[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
I have an issue.

Everything runs perfect and smooth for a couple of days...

This morning, I launched YouTube and all the videos were black. Upon exiting YouTube, everything is slow and choppy. Scrolling is slow and there is tons of tearing.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Yep. Have tried battery pull then power on. Also letting it sit powered on (at att screen) for at least 20 minutes. Also not able to 3button combo to get back to recovery after. Then I have to power off and set up Odin to get back to where I was. 3button will restart the phone as it powers off, flashes the att screen and stays stuck again. Thanks for the ideas please keep them coming.

[Captivate Android Development] Haitian:
Titanium backup

I have read all through this and have not seen anyone post how to set the preferences to restore apps with Titanium Backup from the external SD card after installing CM7.

Since the external doesnt show as external it shows under emmc.

Open Titanium Backup and select Preferences. Go to backup folder name and change it to read /mnt/emmc/TitaniumBackup

You should then be able to restore your apps.

I hope this helps someone.

I have a very strange glitch/bug to report.

Whenever my battery drops below about 15%, everything slows down to a crawl. Scrolling is choppy with tons of screen tear, 3D framerates are cut in half and everything just performs poorly.

When I charge my phone back up past about 20%, everything is normal again.

[Captivate Android Development] JEANRIVERA:
I have it and no issues so far I don't know why it has been pulled can any one tell me why?
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
It didn't get pulled. It's still on the sourceforge.

And I have no problems either, but my opinion is invalid because I'm running my custom kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] phoenix2217:
Im not seeing the captivate one. Still says 3112011. I see the SGS one for 3122011, but we can't use that right?
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
Haven't reported it yet but I've flashed and my internal SD was not recognized anymore - no data damage in case anyone wonders. Flashed back to 03112011 and all's fine with the world again.

Maybe that's why it was pulled. Haven't read anything.
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
http://sourceforge.net/projects/teamhacksung/files/captivate/

There's a 03122011 update right there.

And my internal sd is fine, but again, custom kernel.

[Captivate Android Development] frankdogg:
I had the same issues with the new update. Internal and external sd was acting strange. Had to revert back to the 311 update.

[Captivate Android Development] cardassianvol:
It must have been pulled. I saw it and downloaded it earlier. I am running it without any obvious issue, but I am considering reverting to the 311 nightly just in case it decides to screw me later. I sure wouldn't try the new version for a different phone.

[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
the current nightly is being worked on due to issue's with the sdcards.... you dont lose anything, just access problems. Just use the 3-11 until the new one is posted again.

Oh, and DONT flash for galaxys if you have a captivate, to the person who tried...........

Getting much better battery life with JK4 modem.
[Captivate Android Development] mwmalm:
I love this rom, accept the battery life. Great on idle, but i loose 1 petc per 5 to 10 min when in use.
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
1% every 10 min....

so if you were using it nonstop without ever turning it off you could play with it for 16hrs straight...

OMG thats horrible...:rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
Or at the other end of the spectrum, 8 hours. :p

Of course, if you really want longer battery life, I got a undervolt compatible kernel up for download. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] mnjm9b:
Thats still better than my laptop...

I can't get better than an hour on that without plugging it in.

you can also just try optimizing screen brightness, cpu governor, the render effect to "cool" etc...
[Captivate Android Development] TheEscapist:
I don't think there's any laptops that can compare to a good smartphone in terms of battery life.

And you can also downclock the CPU when you know you aren't going to be using it for a while.

Battery life seems to have improved with time. I thought I wouldn't be able to use this rom because of battery life but now I charge the phone overnight and I usually still have 40+ percent left when I am ready to go to bed after about 16 hours of use. I am sure I could get over 24 hours of battery life and even more with light use.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
Ha im back with one more question at this time (sorry about asking so many) but I just started playing some audio from my music player it only plays music into my headphones when the audio jack is put in half way and then when the audio jack is put in completely it plays music from the phones speaker.

Can I change this or is this a known bug/issue with the rom?

Another one is how can I go about stopping my phone from turning on while its plugged in via usb.
[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
headphones are fine for me. and for your phone turning on when charging see the Q&A:

Q: The phone turns on whenever I plug it in, is there any way to prevent this?

A: This is also related to the kernel and for now is an annoying side effect we have to put up with.
[Captivate Android Development] atinm:
What kind of headphones? 3 or 4 pole? iPhone headphones?
[Captivate Android Development] pvr:
I have to ask but why do you find it annoying? Even better: why do you turn off your phone if not to save battery (which would make this moot)?

I keep it always on, if I don't want to listen to anything I just keep it in silent and even during the night I use the Silent Hours (f* amazing!) so I only hear urgent calls.
[Captivate Android Development] jonnyg1097:
The headphones I was using was 3 pole. Not iphone headphones

[Captivate Android Development] h0ckey10:
I don't find it annoying. I took that directly from the cm7 Q&A page.
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Unfortunately i dont have an answer for your question, but i was just gonna say.. you don't need to pull the battery. If you hold Vol up and Power button for a few secs, it should reboot the phone. I use this method everytime i get stuck in 3e recovery or even when my phone freezes when I'm doing OC testing..

[Captivate Android Development] Kaik541:
samsung's mobile tether is actually based off of the AOSP. As of my build last night, mobile tether and USB tether both work fine.

kinda goes without saying that an AOSP-based ROM will not work with Samsung proprietary files (especially things that hook into framework), but might eventually.

no, ADW is default launcher (also, just install another one and leave it as every update will include ADW, no point in deleting it every time)
