I installed Froyo shortly after purchasing my Captivate late October, so I did not test this on Eclair.
I have problems on and off with pairing and using bluetooth devices. I work at an Audi store and will buy one next month, so I need my phone to work properly with the car's bluetooth system.
I have successfully paired and used the phone in the car, made calls, and the contacts are transfered.
The problem is that it stops working for most times. I have installed a couple of apps that manage profiles, that gave me problems, and successfully got it to work again after removing those apps. Now I have no apps that manage the bluetooth, and I ran out of options. Yesterday I got a bluetooth speaker to play muic at home, that pairs with the phone, but it doesn't connect after, and it works well with my wifes iPhone.
Does anyone know what may cause these issues, know apps that cause them, and if possible a fix.
I appreciate any help!
So which "version" of Froyo are you running? There are a couple of captivate leaked ROMs and all kinds of Hybrids based on Vibrant, i9000, etc.
Remember that all these builds are either Beta or slight Frakensteins with parts mixed and matched. Bluetooth doesn't work well in a few of the builds.
One of the reasons I am anxiously awaiting an official Captivate build - to make sure everything works (or maybe not) first before I start swapping kernels for additional functionality.
I don't really know which version I've downloaded, but do your know of a build that is better for bluetooth?

Runs fine on stock rom. 2.1
It runs great on the leaked Foyo ROM as well. Can you check to make sure it is on your internal SD? I tried to run the files from my external SD, and went into boot cycles. Hope that helps.
Works great for me on Cognition 2.3b7 I have the bought version and the early version that was leaked a couple of weeks ago, 1.0.4 and they both run without an issue.
Im running darky V6 with setirons kernel, and it just hits the splash screen, the music plays, one out of every 5 times I can get to car select and it crashes. I dont get a FC message or anything. I tried uninstalling and reinstalling also, and restarting the phone. The data it downloads is on my internal sd and everything. I have no idea what the issue is.
I'm with stock XXJPY and this crap is closing... I think we just were stoled...

How odd... I wonder what the issue is. I mean it starts up, then just exits. Hmmm....
same here
same issues here with 2.2.1 based roms. i could play once running Cronus.
Grab somewhere APK from Galaxy Tab - it's working for me perfectly
Beware: 120mb size...
Im wondering if it has something to do with the market. As in, because we are using the different baseband version, the market is trying to give us the copy made for snapdragon chips.
I guess to confirm this, what version of nfs shift do you all have? I think in my many wasted google searches I saw different versions for the phones that use the snapdragon chips.
It's not a market issue... It's a NFS game issue - version 1.0.56 worked, but .58 not
So I dont know if anyone was able to fix this, but I did find a version for the tab and its working great now. I can't share it on here, because I know its warez or whatever it's called, but mine works great now. I will add that I paid for the game, just had to find a copy that actually worked.
mine works fine and im running firebird 2.2 no problems whatso ever
I bought it during the sale and haven't ever gotten to play it either. I put a support request into EA, but 2 weeks later, I got a canned response (what's you phone, OS version, etc.... info that as already provided). I'm disappointed, since this was my first and so far only market purchase... I can confirm that it bombs on Xcal's and speedmod kernels, does anyone have it working with a newish rom (2.2.1)? If so, what kernel and game build are you running??
Mine works fine on phoenix, never have had a fc on this game.

What version of NFS are you using? I've got 1.5.7, someone mentioned 1.5.6 working, is that what you have?
I have never been able to use turn by turn. I've used Google Maps after enabling GPS and WIRELESS NETWORKS AND THEN WHEN i SWITCH over to Google Nav it says Searching for GPS....but yet it gets me text directions on how to get there and if I make a wrong turn it doesnt update with how to get there from the current location
Ive seen videos of people being able to use their GPS and Ive had this phnoe since last year. What in the hell...please help.
Baseband:
32.36.00.28U_4.06.00.12_7
Kern:
2.6.37.2
Cyanogen 7.0 RC2
If you can't use GPS in any application I would say it's hardware related and you need to send it in for repair/replacement.
I would assume you have the newest version of Maps and you have wiped and tried the stock rom already.
Can you provide logs?
Oh damn Im out of warrant :\
Im frustrated
and the weird thing in Google Maps, when I have GPS and wireless network enabled it grabs my location within about 500 yards of my real location but on Google Nav it says searching for gps and when I use the GPSstatus app it doesnt lock or anything it has that loading icon
500 yards is your network location. That would be flat out awful and useless for GPS. My GPS fix is usually in between 3-10 meters.
Download GPS status from the market and see what it shows.

Oops did not see the last line where you already tried the app.
As said before try a full wipe/ restore to stock if you haven't already. Other than that it will need to be sent into HTC to be fixed.

Not quite the same ....
I am getting problems where the GPS lock takes far too long, but it does eventually get there.
I am on:
Android - 2.3.3
Baseband - 32.50.00.32U_5.12.00.08
Kernel - 2.6.35.7-59423-g08607d4
Build - GRI40
All pretty standard stuff, the issue really is that it used to work great on 2.2 & earlier radios, so I guess the question is what is the best radio for 2.3.3 & GPS ?

If you don't have the same issue, then why post in the thread with a different issue? Start a new thread for a separate issue. Fwiw, stock Gingerbread radio is 5.08 which is what you should be using, not 5.12.
I think it's more of a CyanogenMod 7 issue since I couldn't have locked the phone with RC2 also. Try updating to RC4 it works for me now.

Android OS 2.3 coming to Bell Galaxy Tab, Vibrant, Incredible S, Desire Z and ATRIX this Summer
Great news for those Bell customers who have the following Android devices: Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung Galaxy S, HTC Incredible S, HTC Desire Z and the Motorola ATRIX… you all will be getting an upgrade to OS 2.3 Gingerbread this Summer. However, it seems that the Tab will be receive 2.3 today and the Galaxy S Vibrant will receive 2.3 sometime “Early Summer”, while the Incredible S will be graced with it “Mid Summer” and finally the others are pegged for “Late Summer”. Nice work.
(Thanks Tipster!)
Good to know... i wonder if i should restock to froyo then and run kies on my tab to see if i get the update....
I have stock JJ7 and I still get the message that this version of the device cannot be updated when I connect to Kies ver 2.0.1.11053_99 so I would be too quick to restock.
But I see if I follow the Bell link there is a version _99_3 so I'll try installing that. I always worry when I update Kies that it will stop seeing my devices....
Saw the tab still same message

Ahh, thats good to know...
If i hadn't done my upgrading since January, i'd be inclined to try.
There was a thread thats been around since January asking for the stock JJ7 version of the tab... I got it, but haven't tried to use it... If you ever do restock (clean out your tab to original factory settings), any chance you would be able to do a rotobackup?
If not i understand... its a lot to ask.
I remember you from the galaxys forums, our GalaxyS phones died nearly the same time. .. lol..
Thanks CASz!
Would be kickass if you could do a Rotohammer backup of the new Gingerbread too, see what improvements it has over the older releases...
Cheers...
My galaxy S did come back and I'm running stock Froyo on it How do you do a Rotohammer backup? I really like my tab the way it is set up now but saying that is probably the kiss of death or something

issues with video playback after official rom upgrade
I upgraded my bell galaxy tab to the officiHi,al gingerbread rom last week and now I have an issue.
The built in app used to play most of my videos in the player but now after the upgrade no videos seem to play in the app. I have tried third party apps but they seem to choke on videos that played fine before. Does any one have any suggestions or has any one else experienced this after an upgrade to gingerbread? It definitely sucks!

Hi,
So as soon as I heard the news that there was a date set for the galaxy tab upgrade with Bell I just kept connecting to Kies.
The info for the rom is:
Firmware version: 2.3.3
baseband version P1000MUGKF6
Kernal version 2.6.35.7
build number GingerbreadUGKF6
Please let me know if you would like to know anything further. As a note I did have issues after the upgrade. First it appear my security software was causing issues and the unit would turn the screen off and not come back. Removing avg and lookout fixed this. Then I had issues with some apps like music but deleting data under manage applications corrected that. Same thing with email app so I had to delete data and re setup. Only real issue now is lost codecs it seems in video player it seems.
Finally there are some new apps like pulse news and sketch memo.

Judging by your posted build number you are still Froyo (2.2.x). Gingerbread is 2.3.x. Unless this was a typo on your part.

Hi sorry about the typo on the build. In regards to 3g I recently started having service issues but after this upgrade the issues are less frequent. It could be a coincidence as they told me there was a network issue but even right after the upgrade it was better. No phone app unfortunately. I have not tried copying the videos back but before I was able to play these videos without conversion. I am going to try any ways. Thanks for suggestion. I am hoping to hear if anyone else has the same issue.
Hi everybody,
I think i got an unique GPS problem in my Captivate,
The thing is, when ever i starting GPS program (GPStest, GPSstatus, AngryGPS...) the GPS symbol in the status line flashing for 3 second and disappeared... no signal and not even a weak satellite. Nothing. The GPStest keep showing clear windows. I tried every trick i could fine, every server, lots of program, and nothing seems to make this phone to find a single satellite.
When i do the tests with AngryGPS/LBST, the test just doesnt process to anywhere(keep showing me Starting test... or 0/30.. Weird!)
Required data:
I am on Europe.
The phone is unlocked At&t.
Firmware - original one(stock rom)
Kernel - 2.6.29 jetaek lee sep-11
Build - ECLAIR
Basebnd - I897UCJF6
Please, this problem is driving me crazy... the one of my main used pitcher in my previous phone..!
Thanks In Advance!
You will never have working GPS running that firmware version.

miztaken1312 is right, you'll be hard pressed to get any kind of GPS using JF6. You'll need to go to a custom ROM to get usable GPS. I can't speak for the other ROM's out there but I've had great success with Phoenix(Froyo 2.2) and Mosaic(Gingerbread 2.3)
Ok, i also tried to upgrade to GB 2.3.4 PilotXrom 3.5, and still, the same problem, no GPS signal at all, tests in AngryGps stopped 3 seconds after its start. Could it be a hardware damage? What other Rom should i try? Froyo one?
Turn your phone off and remove the battery. Tell us what the build number is. It will be 4 digits starting with a 10.

Yep, 1007 is your problem. I had one as well and traded it in for a refurbed 1011. However if yours is a refurbed 1007 then it shouldn't be a hardware issue.
Not sure if this is a nougat issue or a Franco kernel issue, but when using Ford MySync or whatever it's called I show unknown artist unknown song as my display on my car audio screen. This same configuration was working fine on MM with France r10 but once I moved to Nougat it's been unable to give me artist and song info.
I've cleared cache, reinstalled apps, removed and added my car back as an audio source all with no luck in resolving. I have also looked through the Franco thread so I don't think it's related to his stuff. I am also updated to the latest kernel he released, no fix there. Not really anything else special on my device except magisk for root.
Is anyone else having this issue? It's kind of driving me crazy. I almost want to revert to factory and see if that changes anything but don't want to re-root etc.
I have searched this forum and others for a fix but everyone says it's app specific, which mine is not. It won't work in sound cloud, play music, YouTube, or any other media apps it was known working in before the update.

Took out my wife's 2015 explorer today and it has the same problems. I wonder if 4.10 will fix it? I'm holding off for a while before taking it...
I had the same problems with my car ( VW Passat 2014). I have the Sony Xperia ZX and HTC 10 and no problems with Bluetooth. I am using original rom and Nougat. It seems the is only Oneplus phones.
I've tried 4.10 and also now Lineage and it doesn't fix it on any of them. I'm guessing its firmware related then.

I believe someone said it's OOS 4.0.3+ so 4.0.2 was fine. I can confirm because I experienced this after updating to 4.0.3.
This bug is actually a pretty big peeve of mine. I'm considering going back to 4.0.2 because of it
7.0 update fixed this for me but when I tired the 7.1.1 update it broke it again and also added a noticialbe lag when using the controls on in my car. I have since reverted back to using the 7.0 software.

It does not work on mine, unfortunately. It DID work for a day or two though.
I'm running daily Lineage OS using default kernel (usually Fusion kernel, however not right now since it's not updated for latest source) and working beautifully with my Volvo Sensus Connect, both bluetooth internet connection for car and Bluetooth audio with audio track text working. So probably some Ford mumbo jumbo. ?
