Hey everyone, I've looked around for this but didn't find an exact answer. My captivate is getting really bad about shutting off at night.I've been going back and forth between cognition and perception since I bought it. I reverted back to stock using odin about a week ago but it's still flaking out a lot and usually at night. I'm going to try and return it for a newer one but I want to make sure it looks stock. Everything seems to me to be ok but I was wondering about the Kernel version, it's listed as "2.6.29 jataek.lee(at) sep-11 #2" is this a standard Kernel or something left over from flashing it?
BTW the (at) is really an at sign but the forum thought it was a web address and made me change it here since I'm new.
Thanks!
That is stock kernel
Thanks! I called att on it and they're sending me a replacement

Hi guys Im new to this thread and I've been reading the whole treads for like 3 days and for some reason im getting confused about the pros and cons so I just want to ask if my understanding about the froyo leak flash with odin3 is correct. If there is something else that i forgot to mention that is really important please remind me before i flash my new captivate
PRos:
1. flash 10.1 on browser
2. JIt compliler
3. no need to root the phone
4. can save apps on sd card
5. GPs more accurate
6. can still be root
Cons:
1. unlocked code from 2.1 eclair to use other sim will not work anymore
2. IMEI number will change and impossible to retrived unless you send them back to samsung?
3. no more android keyboard
4. void the warranty?
5. updating through OTA will not work anymore after reverting from froyo 2.2 leak to the stock 2.1 eclair by using odin3
6. after flashing couple of times from reverting to eclair to froyo will ban you from andriod market and the phone will state that there is no sim even if there is one inserted
7. lag issues
This is my first time to have an android phone so im totally noob and no idea yet and a little scared of making mistake. Also if i root my phone will i be able to unroot it again in case i want to return back the phone to at&t? Thank you in advance
Are your pros supposed to be compared to 2.1?
"no need to root"? There was not a need a root 2.1 either - or the same reasons existed, so i don't follow this.
The way i see it, 2.2 gives you access to 2.2 only apps in the store. Not much else. It is 2.2, yes, but there is not a lot more functionality. I do want it, but I can wait for official build.
BTW, there are built in tether apps - no longer in 2.1 JH7. That could be a pro.
Cons:
How about bugs and work arounds. It is stable, but Google groups and Exchange groups don't work. Samsung email client is broken when replying, etc. There is a pretty good list.
I will wait for the next build from Samsung, but that is me.
If your a "basic" user such I am (no exchange support needed) and just do the basic tweet/fb/browse for porn (erm?)/ play music/txt etc... I think you would be fine.
But.. if your not comfortable flashing ROM's and realize that your going to be voiding your warranty as soon as you do. Then don't do it and wait for OTA.
And I can't imagine that the OTA would be any better or feature rich then Cognition's 2.2.X beta.
Btw.... you listed
"3. no more android keyboard"
DG added it into the latest build.
CON: ATT address book doesnt work.
PRO: better battery life.
Pro: Cognition any version
Con: You won't get anything done because you're playing with your phone too much!

I have not heard of this problem before. I will do some checking on it but sounds like he is a noob that is looking into anything that can possibly go wrong. Also sounds like whoever originally posted that problem most likely had no idea what they were doing and flashed 2.2 wrong even though I do not know how that is possible. I have flashed back and forth since SRE and have done so for each Cog build to keep current. Phone works amazingly, GPS is flawless and is the fastest phone I have ever owned. Go Cognition!!

DON'T DO IT!!!! wait for the Official release, this is a leaked..aka stolen version of froyo, you will void your warrenty. If you still want to do it after what i said keep in mind that when the Official release of froyo comes out and ATT wants to do an over the air (OTA) update, the ATT server will not recognize your phones firmware any more so you won't be able to get the update of the leagle version of froyo. This leaked...or stolen version is full of glitches don't download it.
ok seriously, its not going to void your warranty if u revert back to stock using the easy 1 click restore by odin...ive sent mine back once i was running cognition 2.2 and they had no problem exchanging it. the leaked version is NOT NOT NOT NOT full of glitches, it works perfectly and i have yet to find a problem with it! so dont talk here unless u knwo what u are talking about buddy

Number 1 im not your buddy sir...number two it is glitch ridden and thats been posted all over the internet. As well as an att bulletin that was release...maybe you need to do a little more studying "buster". Check out the ATT bulletin and it will advise as well as other xda-developers not to install as this is not the final version but it is a stolen version and as with all stolen merchandise there are issues once recieved by the poor sucker who bought it. Once you down load this froyo stolen version 80% of the android market will not recognize your phone so apps that you had previously won't be available anymore. And yes as quoted by ATT this will void your warranty so download at your own risk "Pal"

I've been using 2.2 since like a couple days it was released. * touchwood* so far all I noticed is that my battery performance is better. I don't even know what "glitches" u r talking about.
Before u say some software is glitchy, please be specific atleast for a few of them. And an FYI, not having android keyboard is not a glitch.
EDIT:
I got my first Captivate right on the 2nd day of its release. I exchanged it for another in 2 weeks due to battery issues. I rooted, n then flashed back to stock and returned. No question of warranty loss if you know how to revert back to stock.

ahaha wow this is seriously entertaining! Hopefully you continue as i needed a good laugh today.
I have been on the froyo LEAK since the day after it popped up and it has been much more stable than any version of eclair EVER was. This is the whole point of xda....you can go hang out with all the newbs at androidforums or something and preach about how dangerous it is and stick with eclair.
you have no clue if it is stolen. How do you know samsung didn't release this on purpose to get feedback?? I would never listen to a word ATT says they are a joke. Its people like you that need to just keep their mouth shut you obviously have yet to flash so how can you preach about how it is 'full of glitches' haha.
oh and its really hard to odin back to stock to get the official update.
I did not know that 80% of the market is not supposed to recognize my phone any more. Somebody should let the market know. Maybe now that I know 89% of the market is not supposed to work it will now quit working. Oh no! as I am typing this 93% of the market just disappeared from my cappy!
And by the way, if I get caught with stolen software in my possession - i'm turning all of you all in!

It's a leaked rom, which means that someone decided to release this...why are so many people interested in having their phones flashed back to eclair if this leaked rom is so much better? I don't understand...If I own a ford and decide to buy a toyota and it's a much better car...why would i go back to a ford? That's moving backwards right?

id definatly buy a ford over a toyota right now. toyota is overrated and ford is moving up. really drive one before you speak.
ok froyo has market issues right now do to presumably the android id. it has many new gui features and is much faster and in my experiance better battery life. so if you cant deal with the market errors wait for an official release. that is why many are going back. that and some of us are addicted to flashing our phones every 48 hours.
Hey all,
I have been won over by the initial reviews of the Inspire 4g and am aiming to buy one in the near future. Before I do that, I want to sell my Captivate, so I need to get it back to stock.
My question is, what exact OS version are Captivates shipping with these days so I know what to flash to? If you can provide a link, that would be great. I already have Odin up and running, and all that.
ps. yes, yes, I know the Captivate is a great phone and all that, and I love mine with its latest version of Phoenix running silky smooth, but I just want to have an HTC phone for once, since Samsung doesn't really seem to care about their customers and updates.
Thanks!

Just flash the odin 1click: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989 then update through kies to JH7
or
JH7 with CWM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=731989
But they are shipped with JH7 now. Have fun with the Inspire.

gave duplicate answer. sorry answer already posted above.
Yeah, one-click stock is definitely what you want to go with.
BTW, I'm also switching to the Inspire, not for 4G, not for the bigger screen size, but like you said, HTC<33
hey all,
anyone seen this on a captivate, there are blue lines that go horizontally across the screen. making it look hazy

^ Need more info from ya.
Did u recently flash something... kernel, theme, gingerbread, etc. What r u currently running. More info is better to help narrow the possible cause down. And then maybe someone will have an answer that will help.
i was running firefly 3.0 for months havent done anything new to it.
i did flash it back to stock, then did a master clear (just in case i need to warranty it, since it is only 6 months old)
the problem still exists i also flashed the 2.2 update through the kies software just incase
Sounds like may b a hardware issue then.

well thanks for the insight, thats what i had feared as well...
i brought it in to the ATT store for a warrenty exchange and got a refurb'd older phone lets hope that this one is OK sine its manufacturing date was a year ago...lol
My Captivate is really starting to bug me. The only thing that I have to complain about is the slow , or non responsiveness of my soft keys, especially the back or return key. Although they all kinda suck. The return key is at a point where it takes at least 2 or 3 touches every time, and sometimes more like 5 or 6 times. Does anyone else have this problem ? I searched the Captivate Q&A and went back to the beginning of the year before I gave up and started this post. Hopefully someone has an answer for me. Is there a way to adjust the sensitivity? Oh, so you know, I'm running 2.3.3 Gingerbread UCKF1 Kernel 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832 rooted.
Why not try the KK4 gb 2.3.5 and see if the problem is still there ??

I might have to do that. Or, maybe a whole new ROM. I was running APEX 12.0, Talon, Big Cache as my last custom build, but, I bricked it flashing back to stock for a girlfriend to use. So, I had Mobile Tech Video fix it and do the Unbrickable Mod back in January. And having a fresh stock Gingerbread 2.3.3 was really nice. Now I'm getting that itchy finger, and thinking about changing. That is why I asked about the soft key issue. Figured I might as well try and get that fixed and flash something new. Thanks again for your suggestion.
This is probably an old issue for some but it only recently started happening to me. I'm running SlimICS 4.0.4 on my Captivate (which is an awesome ROM), but lately, I'd say for around a month, the phone will shut off at random. The only way I can get it to boot past the AT&T screen is to plug it in. Any remedies for this or is my phone just on its last legs? I believe I upgraded in August, so I have another year to go yet before I can upgrade and I'm sure it's out of warranty so no returns/exchanges. I've tried a battery calibration tool, since I figured maybe the battery is getting old, but unfortunately that didn't work either.
Try upgrading your kernel, or whole ROM. sounds like a kernel issue. I'd recommend devil for ics.

Similar to how a KP will cause a Linux/Unix system to freeze or reboot? I'm fed up with it, it died mid-text with a 72% battery level... I may try CyanogenMOD since I'm somewhat familiar with it from using a previous version.
I just wanted to follow up on this. I figured since the phone was acting up and everything was backed up to my external SD card I didn't have much to lose by re-flashing it. I tried Doc's Master ICS, which worked briefly and crapped out. I then flashed back to bone stock OEM, stock bootloader, not rooted, etc... and it seemed to be working a little better, but unfortunately the freakin thing did it again numerous times. One ATT support call later and they're sending out a new phone.. I've read up on the random shutdown issue and found that phones under a certain number IMEI have had issues. Here's hoping I don't get another one out of the same batch.
