[Q] software update question - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Two quick questions. First, what was the most recent software update that my phone wanted to install? It wouldn't work on my phone, and I was wondering if it was important. Second, does it matter if my phone is rooted and has the one click lag fix?
Thanks

The most recent update was JH7 which has quite a bit of fixes. The most likely reason why you couldn't install it was because you're rooted with one click lag fix.
The best/easiest way to get the update would be to just install cognition 2.1.6
It has the JH7 firmware along with voodoo lagfix.

id recommend going over to froyo( cog 2.2 beta 8) its much better than eclair....i dont face any laggs whatsoever.....do a masterclean first....

Is it a worth while to update to JP3 now ?

I´m in JM5 , and i think about upgrading to JP3...
is it a good ideia ?
No.. Highmem has been merged into the eclair trees, MobileAP is totally broken (and there are many other broken/crashing things) and finally, JIT isn't available in that build anyway (so no real speed benefit).
The only reason for using Froyo at the moment is if you have apps that require Froyo, or there are API's in Froyo you want access to.
Otherwise, trust me, you are wasting your time with it. I installed it because I couldn't help myself, used it for 2 days, and then reverted because it was an inconvenience.
I am finding JM5 more stable. I've tried both. Im not going to bother with JP3 again.

ok..
thank you guys =D
the leaked 2.2 is not stable enough
i'll wait for the final
I tried the new builds, but went back to JF3, which came on the phone.
As the others mentioned, I will wait for the official release.
upside, you can view flash on the browser./
These ROM versions are getting confusing - is JM5 newer/older/better/worse than JG5 or are they practically the same?
tried it for a week and it got very slow even with tweaks.Wait for another leak or the official version
I tried JP3 i found it abit laggy but it was a good taste of what 2.2 to come
Google Maps just force-closed on launching for me in JP3 - that was a complete deal-breaker, so I reverted.
JM5 is a later version than JG5 (at least it should be)
I've had no problems with JP3 at all and have benchmarked 1843 with it......Everything has worked fine for me on it??
I'm running JP3 as well and very pleased with it. I tried it on 2 previous occasions but couldn't get it to work well and reverted. A few days ago I did a fresh install, rooted by downgrading the kernel to JP2, rooted and upgrade kenel back to JP3.
Root access made it possible to fix all the little bugs on the ROM, so now I wouldn't go back. The only thing broken is Mobile AP, otherwise it's smooth, lag free and working as well as any other ROM

which little bugs did you fix?
also wouldnt JH2 kernel work on JP3 rom and fix the lag without ext3/4 on sdcard trick?
I'd stick with JM5, someone mentioned about Flash but you can get that working on Eclair. I actually had it running on the stock ROM, just check over in the Apps and Themes section for the .apk, it seems to work quite well.
Been using JP3 for a week now, followed the guide on hemorrdroids.net (search for "Galaxy S FroYo With New Speed Fix!" but I did not apply the speed fix.
Honestly the phone is at least 3x faster then the stock version that came with it.
Seems to be working VERY stable except for the AP Wireless option which is broken.
Have not had any issues besides one crash when tried to use AP.
After using both JM5 and JP3 I can assure that at least with me the froto update is ablot smoother even without the lagfix applied... After the lagfix it just flies really...

Too buggy for now. I'm sticking with JM5, have already tried 3 custom jp3's and they all sucked.
I'm also running the JP3 without any problems. The JM5 was fine, but seems to default to Russian. Anyone knows where I can find the real original JF3? Just in case I want to go back.
I missed Froyo JP3 ROM. after loading back DXJG4(latest Official South East Asia ROM ),the Eclair ROM has this bad memory management problem. without using Task killer..the lag will come back..even after lagfix.
On JP3,I dont need to use task killer, I have no sudden blackout problem.

The reality is that no, it doesn't resolve lag
not by a long shot in recent leaks, q&a please.
i9000 froyo made lag worse!!!
I installed it yesterday via kies.
The former version worked perfect for me but the froyo update was real bad!
I can't work with my phone, it's getting stuck all the time.
The EMail software won't work at all.
Maybe i'm missing something but if i could downgrade back to the old version it would be great!

Well if you read all post about it you should know you should wipe the catch, Format the internal sdcard and do a factory reset when you flashed the latest froyo.
All error and strange thing you got is for all bad data/settings you have.
Froyo works real good...

Lol DamianGto. Seriously though, how long have you been working for samsung?
If i did work for Samsung i would not be here and help people to tweak the sgs and make custom kernels.
Many issues on the sgs is user errors. If they read some tread they would know how to deal with it.
I feel its to easy to make a tread or post about things without reading about it first.

[Q] Best firmware (froyo) to use via regedit hack for the Philippines

The title pretty much sums it up. I've been itching to get my hands on froyo for the SGS for weeks, and I'm at the point that I can't wait much longer. So, I was wondering what's the best region to use for my upgrade and what are the possible problems I may encounter such as network compatibility, drivers (or lack thereof), etc.
My phone is unbranded and not SIM-locked. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Just out of curiosity, what do you think would give me a better android experience stock 2.2 or Samsung's 2.2.
Stock 2.2. You might brick your sgs like i did my nexus one.

Thanks for the quick reply, but what I meant was, what's the best region to get Samsung's official 2.2 firmware from (i.e., Nordic countries, Hongkong or other European countries, etc), since it hasn't been released in my country yet. And is there a possibility of encountering problems with network compatibility or drivers, etc.
I think I9000DXJPA would be fine for you. I may reflash it using this since im using the JPO right now.
Got my update to Froyo a few days ago. Im in your country bro. Q.C. Use Samsung Kies. Root it with z4root. Don't lag fix it cause it causes the qwerty to freeze on my SGS.

Ok i just tried the OCLF lagfix v2.2 and my SGS runs smooth!

Are you sure you can't update yet from KIES?
DXJPA is now available.
ROM wise, I prefer Doc's ROM with HardcoreK9A Kernel.
CWM ULK advance features: data = ext4; dbdata = ext4
all tweaks ON

Updating to froyo 2.2.1

A while ago I updated to JPO and rooted my phone. I then proceeded to uninstall the stock version of aldiko ebook reader with my new found root power. I now want to update to the newest version of froyo (JPY?), and I read somewhere that the process is more complex if you have un installed a protected app. Is there any truth in this? If so, what do I have to do different? Also, is the improvement over JPO noticeable?
All help is much appreciated.

Nope, definately no issues, after upgrading the the app will come right back to the phone and you can remove it again if you need.
JPY is undoubtedly much faster than previous firmwares....very noticeable difference, made me fall in love with the phone all over again....

[Q] Help - Rooting Samsung Captivate SGH-I897 w/ Froyo 2.2 Flash

I updated to the latest OS Froyo 2.2 on my Captivate using the ODIN3 One Click Downloader.
How do I properly root my phone so I dont have to go back to 2.1 and then reupdate to 2.2?
Any help?
I was going to use the one click root for the galaxy s phones available on this site.
but it said it was only tested on 2.1 Eclair..
Does that matter or can I use it?
Okay scratch this.. i figured it out thanks to you all at XDA
I rooted my phone finally and now it has a lag super bad. Especially when texting..
Will Voodoo lagfix fix that?
Voodoo will help with overall performance of your phone (faster r/w access)
But.. um usually Rooting your phone doesn't cause Lag...
If your using the stock 2.2 update you would've needed to re-root your phone as it would wipe the phone.
Most custom ROM's already come "pre-rooted".
Alright i got it fixed.. im not sure what happened then cuz i updated it to froyo 2.2 using the odin one click downloader. Then rooted it using software from another post. Then it lagged super bad. I used oclf and its working great now. I couldnt figure out how to install voodoo so i just used that instead.
