Do you have a lot of backups saved? If so delete the ones you don't need they take up a lot of space. Let me know if this works im curious. :D

Never mind I did not read your post close enough If rebooting does not work I would suggest reflashing.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] boneykingofnowhere:
I try to do that but when I select captivate it says it isn't supported by clockwork

mod recovery.

Also I've reflashed like 3 times.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhernandez0105:
Yes and that is the point where you select yes.

(Have you installed a clockworkmod based recovery manually?) yes CM7 does

Do you get the internal storage error on any other ROM? If no try a factory reset then flash. Once again no expert just suggesting things that I would try if it were my phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] rivera151:
That's ok. I can cancel the installs on a batch reinstall and the settings will still be recovered. What really chafes my ass is having to dance between the install button and the acknowledge install button to proceed to the next one, especially when I hit open by accident. I'll let you know how it works out on the next nightly.

By the way, I saw that there isn't a ROM anymore in RM. Did I miss something?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
they still appear in ROM manager under the cyanogenmod nightlies section. you can only see nightlies if you have the premium license though, which you should (help support Koush, he's a major reason you have official CM7 on your phone). or download manually from download.cyanogenmod.com

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
No idea what version you're running. You need to download the latest from http://mirror.teamdouche.net/?device=captivatemtd, go into recovery and install that.

EFS is where your phone stores things like numbers etc - generally dangerous stuff to touch. We don't write there, we just read it.

Just wanted to post that I upgraded to the #9 nightly from the 9/16 nightly in ROM Manager Premium and all is well.

Apps were not wiped and GApps reinstalled fine.

Half of screen was scrolling at a different speed at first. Was odd. Screen lock/unlock fixed it.

**Side Note:** the setting in ROM Manager to disable progress bars for faster back up is amazing. Wow.

I posted here because I thought it was cm7 related.

Great work and rom. I have a question that I can't seem to figure out on my own. I have premium rom manager so I can easily update nightlies, but everytime I select a nightly it downloads, reboots, but never installs. Is there something that I am missing here? Thanks in advance!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
Make sure when your in RM you are using CWM3.x. you can double check by opening RM and at the top under flash recovery it will say what version you are using. If it's 2.x, then you'll need to flash cwm 3.x.

Just a thought. :)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jivy26:
Yea im running 2.x I'll update threw rm ty
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleither:
I worry I'm posting a previously asked question; but I haven't found the answer in 30m of searching. How does one get CWM3.x installed on a rooted stock rom? ROM Manager seems to only list the 2.5.x.x versions.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
When you select flash recovery in RM you should have to choose what phone and which recovery no?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Lhernandez0105:
I don't believe you can do it on a stock rom. You can flash cm7 without cwm3.x just do it manually with the 3 button. If you want to flash nightly after that you can go to cwm3.x once your on cm7

netflix on nightly #9

I installed the #9 nightly and netflix comes up and even allows me to select a movie to play and starts to play it, but I just get sound and no picture it is just a black screen. if I touch the screen I get the controlls but the movie is just not there. Is this expected behavior at the moment or is there something I can do to get the picture too?

I am about to update manually.

Hopefully that will fix the cifs issue I am having.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
Just exit out of the Netflix and then reboot your phone. From then on it will play correctly. Seems like it is just the first time starting it (or at least it was for me).

So just rename the newest build (#9?) to update.zip, place it at the root of my internal SD and boot into 3 button recovery? Do I need to modify 3e recovery to allow unsigned files first?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
you need CWM to install. please do not attempt to install from 2e/unsigned 3e as it will create more issues than it's worth. flash a custom kernel with CWM first.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cesierra:
Quickly lock and unlock the screen. That worked for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleither:
Sounds like a plan. I haven't really followed many of the custom kernels, and the focus now seems to be more on 2.3 kernels/roms than the 2.2 versions. Do you have a suggestion of a kernel that'll work on Rogers stock 2.2 (JL1) that comes with CWM 3.x that'd let me properly flash CM?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
you don't need CWM3.x, but I recommend hardcore's speedmod kernel K13E (it's what I used to install)
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sleither:
Oh okay, everything that I'd read said I would need a 3.x release to properly install CM7. Would 2.5.1.2 be safe to use (assuming I run the modded 3e recovery located @ http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=909213) or am I better off using speedmod kernel?

Ok... just updated to #9

Still no cifs support.

Root/unroot

Is it possible to unroot CM7? And then be able to reroot it later? I asked because my company is looking into deploying an agent that will report on and disconnect rooted phones. So, I would like to be able to run unrooted and root whenever needed to say update or whatever.

Btw, I am absolutely loving CM7. This is the best of both worlds. Awesome Samsung hardware without being stuck in ancient times with their slow to get updated firmware. Thanks much to all who work on this and those helping in the forums. I was able to install this without any assistance JUST BY READING. :)

Just an FYI on battery life:

I just ran this until 0 and shutoff for the first time and it went about 19 hrs including 4 hours of display time. At first I thought the battery life was poor, but I was judging that based on the charge registering "full" at 95% and it dropping to 80-70% pretty quickly. However, it has been lasting longer and longer as the percentage gets lower...

I would suggest trying to drain to shutoff before making any conclusions on battery life.

I am curious how an app will be able to check whether it is rooted without having root access...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
this question isn't directed at cmsgsteam, direct it to cyanogenmod's issue tracker if you want this (not the cmsgsteam one as this is related to things at the top, not specific to our device). if you want to replicate this functionality, use dialer one from the market.

capacitive buttons will always be lit while screen is on. expected.

enable "always use proximity sensor" from call settings.

post bugs with logcats to issue tracker, can't do anything without a bug report/logcat

it would technically be possible, just uninstall the superuser app and remove the su binary from either /system/bin or xbin or something. but I can't guarantee this is a good idea or will work.

wouldn't be hard, just try to elevate permissions and if successful, broadcast. apple started doing the same thing with the iphone and ibooks... ibooks tries to run a piece of unsigned code when opening, if successful it means the phone is jailbroken and tells you to restore the firmware in itunes and refuses to open.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] joeybear23:
So, if you just deny SU access, the app won't know that root is available, right?

If so, that would be this guy's answer...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] purplebear:
That can't be the case. The agent that is installed requires being set as a device administrator, but it never prompts for superuser. It does see my device as rooted. I am testing this stuff, so I am currently allowing myself to have a rooted device connected. I am also asking their developers how they detect root.

saving logcat from terminal emulator?

So I can get into terminal emulator and get a logcat file by entering:

su

logcat

but then how do I save it so I can copy it off and send it in to help debug?

I tried:

logcat > /logfile.txt

But cant find it, did I need to save it into a particular folder? Or am I up in the night completely?

I figure running it from the phone right after a problem will get a better file than waiting until I can get to a computer, (which might be hours).
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Kaik541:
if you ran it exactly as typed, it'll try to output to the root directory (not your internal SD) which is just a tmpfs... you need to put it some place you can get to it easily (like your sdcard).... logcat > /sdcard/out.log
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] FireRaider:
Sweet! That worked. Thanks for your help. If that odd phone call related shutdown happens again I am set.

I would imagine the logcat I just ran is worthless for something that happened a few hours and 2 reboots ago?

How far back does a logcat go? and how long can I wait to run it for debugging purposes?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] atinm:
Not long after, instantaneous is best because then we can see exactly what the phone was doing when it misbehaved. Phone crash and reboot it is the /proc/last_kmsg that will be more useful and you need to do it soon after your phone boots.

Actually, you can send them wherever you want including http://code.google.com/p/cyanogenmod7-for-samsung-galaxys/issues/list - what we work on still gets chosen amongst the bugs we want to work on.
