A little background on my phone:
T-Mobile G1 USA, black
2300mAh battery
Amon_Ra's Recovery
CyanogenMod5 Test 6
Newest Radio
DangerSPL (Hayukos, however it's spelled)
Launcher Pro
Ok, so here's the issue:
A while back my Wifi stopped working completely. I flash my phone a couple times a month, every couple of months. I get bored and look for a good ROM every so often but once I find one I like I stick with it for a few months.
If I can coincide Wifi issues with a ROM, it would have to be KingKlick's 2.1 Espresso, but I'm not positive on that and I can't blame it on one ROM, at least I don't think so. It doesn't work with ANY ROM since around that time when I flashed that ROM (about 3-4 months back).
Since I flashed Super D 1.1x and up it works for about a minute or two and then I get an error saying there's no connection in the browser, Youtube, etc. It's doing this with CM5.0.7 test X.
I've done complete wipes of the phone through Amon_Ra's recovery, Data, Dalvik, EXT, battery, rotate... reflashed fresh ROMs... won't fix it.
I don't see how this could be a ROM issue at all, since it's across different 1.6 and different 2.1 ROMs. I also don't see how it could be a hardware issue since it works for a minute or two then stops.
So could this be a radio issue... or an SPL issue? I don't know exactly what those are, so I couldn't say. Would flashing the radio again fix the issue? Any help or suggestions is appreciated.
Download an application called "wifi fixer" from market. It seems to fix issues like this. Just a chance, though.
Strangely, I started having the same problem a few weeks ago. Wifi only works from a few minutes, to a few seconds. If I stream some music, it may last all night. Next to playing around with apps, I have not re-flashed my G1 at all. I found setting a static IP sometimes helps.
Trying wifi fixer now.
Downloaded it... doesn't work!
It seems to stay connected about another minute or two longer, but that's it. The app itself is really laggy and I keep getting a Not Responding error when trying to pop up the menu to get the logging to work.
When I finally get the menu to pop up I have no clue how to even get logging to work, there's the button for it but I have no clue if red/green is on or off. The pop up "Enable Logging"/"Disable Logging" doesn't really explain it well. I have no clue if it's saying I did enable or disable. And I have no clue where it saves the file.
Thanks for the suggestion though. And I don't know if it's T-Mobile, but my internet in general isn't working right now. 3G shows several bars but it won't load ****... I've had this problem before when T-Mobile was just the issue for a few hours.

Sorry, fixed my issues without any problems when I had them. =[ I don't know why it's so buggy for you, worked like a dream and that was the only reason I suggested it. Sorry to offer false hop. =[ I can't really be of much more assistance.
Hey guys, I've had my captivate for about 3 months and I love it. Well, I loved it until the at&t update about a month ago. I dont know if it caused the problem, but since that week or so, Ive had crashing problems with my apps. It started with the messaging app. Everything freezes, I still get haptic feedback, and then the sms fails, sometimes the phone and some games too. So I downloaded handcent and that worked for about a day without crashing, and now it wont open half the time. I have never rooted my phone, but I use launcherpro if that helps.
Does anyone know why this is happening or how I can fix it?
Have you flashed any custom roms or did you just do the at &t update? I can make some suggestions but they would require you to root your phone. Otherwise call at &t
Captivate
Cog 2.2
Why don't you just simply use the Odin one click and go back to the firmware from before the at&t update?

no, i havent done much customization besides installing launcherpro. nothing that requires a computer

i dont know much about odin, mind telling me more?
I am hoping someone can help me with this. I had my nook rooted, market, youtube and gingerbread keyboard installed and working. different boot screen flashed. i plugged it in to my pc here at work to charge. when i unplugged it, it was at the startup screen with the android. The old boot screen is back. All apps are removed. it appears to still be rooted, but I cant bring up keyboard at all. All my apps and everything I installed are gone. I don't understand what happened to it. Any one have any idea? Thanks!
A wizard did it.
Seriously others have reported similar anomalies The thing to do is wipe and start over. I suggest you get titanium back up so you don't have to completely start over next time.
I figured thats what I would have to do. I don't think i would have needed to, had I not installed the gingerboard keyboard. I was just wondering if anyoen else experienced, perhaps we could pinpoint the problem and figure out what to do to avoid it. Worse part is some one wanted to see it after I told them not to waste thier money on an ipad, they come over and it doesnt work at all. Well it worked, but just as an e-reader, bleh who bought it for that, lol.

Dropbox + AutoNooter are a NC's best friend.. Show the friends how easy it is to root and load up apps. Remember to share.... 2.5 NC's to every grannysmith!

Dropbox works very well indeed. Awesome Drop is also very good. While it offers no online storage, it doesn't require an account either. However, neither wanted to work without an External SD card. Haven't looked into they wouldn't use the internal storage. Anyone know?
Possibly it updated to 1.01? Mine was act a little strange, then all of a sudden it updated to 1.01 (even with the script in place to disable over the air updates).
I also had some sporadic reboots. Just re-rooted after the 1.01 update and it seems more stable. I also installed an uptime widget to monitor and it's been up now for 11h 30m..
In a couple more weeks it won't matter as the 2.3 build continues to progress..

Hey can you let me know if your Read to Me functionality is working on 1.0.1?
Im on 1.0.0 still because the read to me doesn't work with the 1.0.1 update.
I also get sporadic reboots now that im rooted.

It was already updated. I am not sure what happened, but Its up and running again. This thing is awesome, even with the barnes and noble rom, and restrictions. It plays every game I throw at it, just as good as my Incredible. Most apps fit the screen well and its only going to get better. best 250 I ever spent. I literally carry this thing everywhere I go!
Just saw this post. Same thing just happened to me while I was in the market. Sucks... have to reroot now... argh...

Another data point: got my Nook Color December 25. It was version 1.0.0. Updated to 1.0.1 and rooted with auto-nooter-2.12.25 on December 26. All went well (including using the Shop, though I didn't buy anything) until last night. Entered the shop and got the infamous "authentication problem" message, after which my nook reset itself. When it was finished, the green 'n' icon in the lower left was on (which is odd, since it appears to have updated from 1.0.1 to 1.0.1).
When the dust had settled, the device was still rooted (I still have Market, still have NookColor Tools, still have SuperUser), but everything I'd put on since rooting was gone, and all my settings (wifi key, barnes and noble account, gmail account) were gone.
I'm reasonably familiar with linux (though only a little bit specifically with android), so I'll be happy to poke around to see if I can find anything....
Possible reason?

No, that would be 1.0.1. Android Police tend to be late on the uptick on real news, and make up the rest...
I finally updated to the official AT&T Froyo 2.2 probably about a month ago. Everything was working great. I wanted to root/enable sideloading apps/unlock. I used SuperOneClick 2.1.1. The root worked fine (at least I think so). I was not able to enable sideloading apps so I read online how to change the value of sideloading apps from 0 to 1. I also unlocked the phone using the Galaxy S unlock app from the the Market.
Almost right after the SD Scan would take a long time and then I would get a red SD card symbol saying "Low on Space - Database storage is getting low". I tried clearing cache's to fix the problem. It didn't fix anything. Soon thereafter I started getting "Message Memory Full - Incoming messages rejected due to full...." I cleared phone log/txt messages but it hasn't fixed anything. I looked at my internal and external SD card. My external card is 3.68 total with 17MB available. My internal has 12.67GB available.
Today all of a sudden if I try to look at my missed call I get "samsung captivate the application phone (process com.sec.android.app.dialertab) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again". I get similar messages trying to open Gmail. I haven't gotten it on any other apps yet as far as I know. It vibrates like crazy when the apps crash.
Can anyone help me with the problem? It's making my phone useless right now and my battery is dying much quicker than before. Thanks!

My vote is to go with a custom ROM. It will solve all of these problems. Cognition is the most similar to stock and is quite easy to flash. As for the problems you are having, I don't know what to tell you.
Try Cognition 4.5.3. You won't be disappointed.
Thanks for the quick replay Jack especially on a Fri night. What exactly do I do? Is it difficult to do?
Well, not busy tonight. Watching pre-season football.
Flashing a Froyo rom is not too bad. Since you have stock 2.2 it will be a little more tricky than if you were still on 2.1.
First, what is your build number? look on the sticker under your battery to see a four digit number beginning with either 10 or 11.
I will private message you with more.

Make sure you READ EVERY LINE OF THE OP. When you think you got it, read it again, then give it a shot. For the time being just factory reset your phone, should clear up some of your issues. Good luck
sent from long ago, in a Galaxy far, far away.
^^^ he's right. READ, READ, READ... until you're sick of it. It will pay off and keep you from bricking. Sorry I didn't mention that. But I will be glad to help you if you need.
and if (or when) you manage to brick it do not panic,, go back and read some more,, seems that almost everything an idiot like me can do is fixable,, and most normal people are pretty safe,, they are not going to kill their phone,,,,if they read and follow instructions,,,not doing those two have found my phone in some pretty unresponsive states,, but I am running mosaic VI now and loving it,,but have been on so many I had to go look,,and have finally I hope learned the value of reading ( and those other people probably do know more than me so I should not think I know better ,,,yet)

Not sure how much of knowledge you have gained before doing these attempts of changing some values to enable side-loading...
I would suggest to do factory reset since you are still on FROYO and see if this does the magic.
If it gets locked back to AT&T, I suggest just talk to AT&T rep to unlock & side-enabling. Once all is well, you can do rooting as you did before. Hope this helps to solve your problem.
For any other help, we have XDA here and get some time to go through forums. As others suggested, please read, understand and act.
A day after I posted this the phone seemed to be working right. However Jackman pointed out if it happened once it's almost sure it will happen again. I tended to agree with him so did a factory reset and then flashed with Cognition 4.5.3 with a lot of Jack's help of course. Right now seems to be working flawlessly. I do like this whole custom ROM idea. Even thinking about buying a used Captivate on ebay just so I can mess around with other ROMs. Thanks everyone for your help & input. If you have any other suggestions my ears are always open...

Just for a bit of encouragement ive been using Cognition 4.5.3 as my daily driver for the past 4-5 months and have never had a single issue with great battery life. Ive tried numerous other roms on this forum and always have run into a boot loop, force close, or other random issue that makes my phone unstable but with Cognition I experience what my phone was meant to be like.
Just updated my phone to the official ICS. (XEN)
Now, Swype works for an hour or so, after that it doesn't react anymore.
Allready did an factory reset, but i still have the same problem.
Does anybody know whats going on, and how I can solve this?
Reboot every hour is a little
Ok, I think Thumb keyboard is the problem.
I bought this a while ago, so with restoring my Google account it was installed automatically after the factory reset.
After deleting this prog the phone works fine.
I hope it stays like this...
Use swift keyboard X
It's best.... I was tried every keyboard out there but bought only swift x..

I have this same problem. It suddenly freezes and will not work. Only way to get it started is to choose another keyboard, wait a long time, then go back. It STILL freezes after a while. STUPID ICS update.
I have googled everywhere and there still isn't a solution. SWYPE can't do anything cause its built into the Samsung update and not a stand alone app... Come one Samsung! How can you put out an update without checking! Grrrrrr
I need my swype working!
Ok, it did freeze again but just once.
Eskasi, what firmware do you have?
Mine is XEN.

At last someone else has the same issue as me!!!! I am on an SGS2 and it's doing my head in, no matter what version of MIUI I install the new swype just stops working as you say unless I choose another keyboard then it seems to be hit and miss whether it works or not.
Any solution found?
After installing another rom I am fed up with this, there is however an alternative, try the TouchPal Keyboard, similar to swype and actually in a couple of instances better, like sliding up on the number keys to get a number straight away or slide down to get a character straight away, rather than holding the button down, so far after 5 minutes of use works fine. See how you get on.
Try Touchpal Keyboard from the market - it's free and I find is so far as accurate as swype without the headache of freezing.
Same problem for me after ics update. It would freeze on me and while doing that drain my battery as well. Note is performing so much better after disabling swype. I hope they come with a fix soon though,I love swype...
