hello everyone.... I tried installing the CM7 on my captivate last night and this morning with the same problems...

1. there is no market app... (i cant even download any app) I tried installing my back up app but every time i lunch the market nothing happen... just goes back to the main phone screen

2. I can't add any account on my phone.. every add a google account it would ask me of ssl? and it would tell me that there is no internet connection even though i can browse on a browser with no problem...

never mind i found the answer on the first page..... gotta try this one again

Ha, what a coincidence.

Question, has anyone been able to set up a PTPP VPN using CM? To be honest, I've never tried this, not even in stock roms... so umm, has anyone ever been able to set up a VPN in Android at all?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] hernan078:
my headset is working great, but with the stock music app, anyway, i notoce something, i dont know if is a bug, when i turn off the auto sync in the power widget it stay on in the notification drawer shortcut, is not a biggie but i thought that i should mention it, thank CM Team a lot!

still hard for three weeks and no thoughts of turning back!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
I followed the instructions exact as shown on mobiletechvideos "Samsung Captivate/Vibrant (How To Install Gingerbread CM7)" on youtube, watchd all the other videos and did exact instructions as well to get 3button enabled, odin 1 click factory reset, etc. booted cappy into download mode then tried to follow incstructions to use Odin3, and thats where it bricked. 3:32 of the video "Samsung Captivate/Vibrant (How To Install Gingerbread CM7)".

Also tried to unbrick the cappy afterwards, and followed instructions in mobiletechvideo's "Samsung Galaxy S (How-To Unbrick *USB JIG Method*)", made my own jig from a factory samsung usb cable, got the 300ohm resistor fro electronics store, still won't come to life. not sure what to try next here, anyone have an idea?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouija147:
NOT 300 ohm but 300K ohms -- that is 300,000 ohms = 300K ohms

needs to be close to 301K ohms check resistance and if it is low add a big enough resistor in series to get you closer...or buy one, a jig that is

the tolerance on most cheap resistors is about 5% could amount to more than enough to keep your jig from functioning

GOOD LUCK remember 301K Ω
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Keep trying. I had a very hard time trying to get my Captivate to boot into download mode the second time I bricked my phone.

And buy a jig if you can. That way you can remove yourself from the equation and make things easier.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
I'll keep trying, not a pro using a multitester, but i have it on the dial that says "2000 ohm" and the display reads 301 when i test my resistor. see attached pic. Is that correct?

thx for the help everyone!!

sorry everyone, here's the pic again.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouija147:
probably not right

no picture...so not sure but 2000ohm could be max reading.

what is the color code on the resistor

is it orange black yellow? 300K ohm resistor

or is it

orange black brown? 300 ohm resistor
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
looks like 3 x brown black brown yellow
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouija147:
is the yellow possibly gold? that would be a 5% tolerance resistor

brown black brown would be 100ohm

so three in series like pictured would be 300ohm

you would need three of the following in series

brown black yellow

brown is 1

black is 0

yellow is the multiplier and is 0000

so you get 10 0000

what you have is probably not enough resistance

what are the other ohm scales on the meter?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouija147:
Found a resistor color code chart...

http://wiki.xtronics.com/index.php/Resistor_Codes

bet that meter has a 2000K and 200K reading set it at 2000K and tell me what it says...

at that 2000 ohm scale that meter is reading up to 2000 ohms. So yeah, you are WAY under what you need
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
ok, i built another resistor for 301K ohm, still no dice though. I may need to buy a jig.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
Thanks man!! I'l have a look and see where I'm at here.

I really appreciate the help everyone!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] ouija147:
when you measured at 2000K did it read 301? or 290 something? even 298 or 299 is too low.

Or buy the jig :)

Again good luck
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
When i measured at 2000K this last time, it showed "302", but still no dice. i know the battery is charged too, so it should be good to boot. ;)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
u trying to use the method u just touch the ends of Resistor to the USB pins? in the picture u posted earlier, the metal part of resistors should be covered with tap and not the middle part. If u touch the metal part of resister, the resistance will increase...also that process takes lots of patients and time dude....
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jbinc:
the tape was for me to hold since I dont have plastic gloves. I wasn't touching the metal part, rather holding the tape to position the ends of the resistor to the tips of the USB pins 4 and 5.

I've been trying to register my cappy for nightly build notifications but it will not register. It just sits at Registering… Please Wait. (CyanogenMod Settings – System – Update notifications)

Anyone have any suggestions? Does something else need to be turned on or registered for this to work?

Or is there another way to do this?

I do have ROM manager Pro.

Any advice would be appreciated.

Do keep waiting. It'll succeed soon after we merge to mainline. Let us know when it succeeds. It'll be a day to celebrate for us devs working on CM7 for SGS. Thanks.

Sorry . . . couldn't help myself . . . anyway, this will not work until we're merged to mainline and has been explained before. We are not an officially supported CM7 version yet.

having a small issue. Camera is working fine but new pictures are not showing up in the stock gallery.

If I browse to the /sdcard/dcim, the photos are there. I've tried media rescan but no luck. Any ideas?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin Kaioh:
Hi, still kind of new to this, but being I am not an idiot, I thought I would give it a try.

Followed the instructions in the accompanying video on the Dev thread, and everything worked fantastically. I am encountering two small issues, though.

Neither of these are huge deal breakers for me, they're just annoying, for now.

My Home and Search softkeys don't work at all. I am not too worried about Search, since i never really used it, but I used the Home key a lot.

I also don't have any lockscreen, at all. I have gone through it many times, and checked every setting I could (in both the cm7settings and launcher pro settings).

Like I said, neither of these are a huge deal breaker as of now. If I can't fix them I may flash back to Andromeda, though.

Any fixes would be much appreciated (especially if they're not something like "You messed up somewhere, reflash", because as I said, I followed the directions exactly as in the video). Thanks in advance.

Does the RIL polling problem only effect the phone when it's first trying to get a signal or is it the entire time the phone is running?

My signal bars in CM7 appear to be always lieing to me.

It will say I'm connected with full signal and HSPA in places where I usually have no signal, but data wont work at all.

Any suggestions? Going to try a different modem tomorrow and see if that changes anything.

For the latest nightly update changelog, what does it mean by "Upstream updates"?

Also, I don't know if it's possible to get a log of the H error, but it still doesn't seem to appear and I know it's been an issue for Canadians. Has this issue been looked at?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
did you restore system data with tibu? because it sounds like you did. and make sure you didn't disable the lockscreen with a power toggle.

only on first boot and switching from airplane mode.

upstream = from cyanogenmod directly

without logs, there's nothing to look at, so it doesn't exist until then.

Guys quick question, runnning stock 2.1, or a custom 2.2, my navigation would use the default voice I set in settings, it also said street names.

Since using CM7 I notice Nav is using its own voice selection and not reading street names.

Hands down the ABSOLUTE BEST ROM for the My Cappy

I'm a chronic lurker (mother issues) and iPhone survivor (caused one helluva case of irritable bowel syndrome) but have come out of the dark to THANK ALL THE DEVS for saving my Cappy from being posted on Craigslist. CM7 is absolutely the best ROM I have run in terms of performance and UI; and it's almost there with stability and battery life. You've made my phone a joy to use. Beautiful job guys. Keep up the good work. Donation sent. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeybear23:
I just posted this in the issue tracker, but thought I would put it here as well:

Feature Request: Turn Off Debugging

I am sure there is a lot of debugging that is turned on in the ROM in order to track/identify issues. I am curious if it is possible to add a debugging on/off switch/app/setting to help with battery life for regular users.

Obviously, if a user encounters a problem with the debugging off, there would be less/no information for devs to work with, but in such a case, the user can turn debugging back on and try to reproduce the problem.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] prayii:
While I can see your point I don't think this is going to happen.

This release is not really for normal use. Its for testing and so leaving it on makes most sense.

Also I would rather them spend their time working on the current bugs and trying to get into mainline than wasting time making a switch.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeybear23:
Yeah... you're right.

I wonder if someone else who knows what to look for will see this and offer a solution.

I'm patient. I can wait for a stable version on which they are comfortable with turning debugging off, but it would be nice to be able to do so sooner.

i should know how to do this but someone flash for me CM7, how do i exactly do the nandroid backup, throug CWM app?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Majin Kaioh:
I told it to only restore apps and data, but I think it may have restored everything. I'm going to uninstall a bunch of apps I no longer use, and go through and selectively back them up in Tibu, instead of a batch, then reflash. I didn't want to have to reflash, but it sounds like thats the only way I will get this working again.

Randomly, did anyone else get an email congratulating them on their purchase of a Nexus One? I found this quite funny. :D
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Yes through CWM. Just scroll down to "backup and restore" click on it. Then scroll to "backup" and it will automatically start backing up everything.

Built-in wallpapers

I really like the wallpapers they have included in this magnificent ROM and was wondering where the built-in wallpapers are stored. I took a look though the zip file but I didn't see them anywhere.

Thanks for the help and Please keep up the great work with this wonderful ROM!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
You should be able to use the update zips at any time they linked up. Just make sure you are using the latest update for captivate and not what is sometimes posted at the top of the page (which a lot of times is for the galaxy S I believe).

Also just in case you haven't already. I am presuming your already on CM7. If not then follow the directions in the OP perfectly. You can use the video to aide in the How To but just be aware that it DOES ha e some steps added or changed compared the the ACTUAL instructions in the OP. The OP should be followed first and foremost.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
only use kernels that are marked as for CM7, which is why the instructions say so. and as for "reflashing stock ROM"... that's only if you want to stop using CM7 (which would of course flash a new kernel because you would no longer be on CM7...)

voltage control isn't compatible with this kernel as it has no undervolting enabled, and nowhere does it claim to.

Edit cursor

This is a repost from a different thread; someone replied suggesting I might get more help here.

My previous ROM (Perception) had what looked like a blue inverted golf tee to indicate cursor position when editing: if I clicked on it, it would open a context menu, one option of which allowed me to select a region of text. (Double clicking on a word would also bring up the Swype misspelling menu, but on this ROM it brings up a menu to edit the single word that is selected. Not terribly helpful, but beside the immediate point.)

Now on CM7, I have a much less functional edit indicator that looks like half of a brown house. There's no context menu and it seems more difficult to move the bounds of a selection precisely. Any way to get the other one back, or is this a gingerbread change that I'm stuck with?
