Data and text issues after Firefly - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

I recently started using Firefly 1.5 as of yesterday. It was working fine until this morning. I recently am not able to go on the web on my phone via the browser or facebook/twitter apps, and I am having issues receiving text messages as well. Has anyone else had this issue? Is there a possible fix for this? Any help would be greatly appreciated, this is my first Android device and I just want to take the proper steps to fix any issues. Thanks in advance.

sms not coming through

Hi all,
I'm currently using Incbusus' Super Eclari Lite Rls5, but I've had this issues off and on since I got my Vogue, and I started on Warm Donut RLS3.
I use text messaging a lot, mostly to talk to my girlfriend who lives in another state. However, I have a lot of issue with either my phone never receiving some text messages, or receiving them incredibly late.
Is there something I should be doing differently? Do other people have this issue? What can I do to fix this?
That is a known issue with that build that im having trouble resolving. Most of the other builds should not have this issue.
so you're saying try one of the other builds, and I shouldn't have issues? Alright, I really like RLS5, but this is a pretty important feature for me.

Facebook and GPS issues

I apologize if this is a repost. I've done extensive searching on this and found only limited results.
My girlfriend has a Droid 1. We had her first Droid replaced due to a bad proximity sensor.
The replacement worked fine for about a month or so. Now she is having issues.
First, the Facebook app won't load at all. Additionally, we tried loading it on the browser and that didn't work. That makes me think that it's a Facebook issue not a Droid issue. Is anyone else having this problem?
Second, the GPS doesn't work at all now. It can't find her location. It just keeps searching. I've read a few posts where an app may interfere with the GPS. Has anyone had this experience? Also, I've heard of the app GPS Test and the fact that it can potentially fix the problem. Could this be true?
I am willing to try anything to make her happy considering I have to deal with the complaints.
Her phone is all stock 2.2. I haven't rooted it or customized it in any way.
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.
Edit: Now I can't access my facebook. I have a Droid also.

[Q] 2.2 c2dm working?

Hi, I like to use beejive/trillian. These use c2dm, but don't seem to work on my phone. I only get the messages once I actually go into the app. Chrome to phone doesn't arrive either. I've used coginition roms, and am currently using axura. Does c2dm work for you?
I've changed my android id to the original in case that was causing any issues, but it still doesn't work.
Was this issue resolved? I'm having the exact same problem here.

[Q] HeyTell App Issues

Is anyone else having issues using the app HeyTell? The only ROM i can get it to work properly on is the stock AT&T 2.1, it doesn't even work on the stock 2.2 update. Basically on stock 2.1 I can send and receive messages perfectly without missing a message or having to close the app. If I update to 2.2 or flash a custom ROM, I can send about 2 messages and then it stops sending or receiving, I have to close the app and then try to send the message again. Once I open the app again, whatever the person sent to me is lost and they have to send it again.
Just putting this out there, I have emailed the developer and they are stating that they have no issues. I don't know what else to try, I have cleared the app's cache, uninstalled and reinstalled, I am out of ideas.
I've never even heard of this app before... I'll install it now and tell you how it goes.
EDIT: Okay, I obviously have no friends on this at the moment... But I've been clicking around the app and it seems fine? I'm using Paragon RC6 right now. The GPS/Map component seems to be working fine anyway... I can't really send a voice clip or message through it (no-one to send it to).
EDIT2: Okay, I somehow sent a voiceclip/message to myself and I've recorded it, sent it, and then received it fine. I'll keep playing around with this a little bit further in the morning.
I really appreciate it, it will work at first, and then just stop sending and receving, the little sending icon just spins and spins...then you have to force close it and then start it again, then it works for a few messages and then stops again.
I'm having the same problem with the HeyTell app. It's pretty much hit or miss for me, sometimes it works good for a while, sometimes it sends blank messages. I have a ton of friends using this app on iPhones or other Android devices and they aren't having problems at all.
I have emailed the developer and he states that it works perfectly for him on his phone, whether or not that is true, I am not sure.
Not trying to thread jack but for some reason my hey tell doesn't get messages on time. I'll be next to a buddy and I'll get a message that he sent hours ago. Does anyone else have this issue? I just have the 2.2 froyo update, no custom roms.
I thought for sure HeyTell would work on Official 2.2 as well but I have the same issue your stating. Like I said though, the developer states he has no issues...I am not sure what is going to happen.
HeyTell Support
Are you sure you contacted HeyTell support? I don't have any record of sending a "works for me" answer on a report like this...drop me another email to refresh my memory at [email protected] if you can - thanks in advance!
So! We're aware of an issue on the Galaxy S series phones (Fascinate, Epic, Captivate, Vibrant) introduced by 2.2 firmware (Samsung only, 2.2 makes HeyTell better on other phones). Symptoms appear to be spotty network reporting, media player issues (inconsistent record behavior), and the OS killing HeyTell during screen dims.
We're currently working hard to find a workaround for affected users (and trying to get more info from Samsung), but in the meantime, if you could do us a favor and email us your firmware revision number and any logs you have related to the behavior, we'd greatly appreciate it!
Since I had the issue with Stock 2.2 and not with Stock 2.1 I am running Stock 2.1 until there is a fix. If your asking me for logs I cannot help you there unless I put 2.2 on my phone. i am currently running HeyTell version 181, I am willing to load 2.2 and work with you and get you information, just let me know. I love this app, but my phone is kinda laggy and slow running 2.1 and I want to be running 2.2.
I"m also using HeyTell on 2.2 and having quite a bit of troubles. I'd be happy to send you logs if you could explain to me how to do so. Thanks!
Just a little update, I finally got tired of stock 2.1 last night and decided to try out MIUI. I was pleased to find that after sending more than 10 messages back and forth, HeyTell has not failed yet.... I will be testing all day at work today, I am not sure if they updated the app or if something in MIUI allows it to work. I just thought I would update those few of you that have had the same problem as me.
Everything is still working fine with HeyTell, I am running MIUI Beta 6 and HeyTell is working perfectly. I did notice an update to from the market, I am hoping that could be a fix for other cutom Roms and Stock 2.2.
As MIUI has no samsung crap in it, it should work fine, since it seems to be a samsung issue. Runs fine on CM7 as well.
We put a workaround into builds 1.1.3 -- that fixed it for stock, but didn't catch all of the custom ROMs, so we spun 1.1.4 - give that a whirl and it should work. If anyone runs into this issue again, shoot us an email with your model number (Menu > Profile > Email Support sends this to us, so that may be the fastest method, but also don't forget to include a description of the issue you hit).
Oh sweet so HeyTell should be working fine now with stock 2.2? I will test it now, thanks alot!
Ever since I downloaded the update the app works great! Thanks!
Hey Tell Message Queue Issues
I've been having a problem for a while now where message don't come in automatically, as if they're caught up in the queue somehow. I have to exit HeyTell multiple times, manually click on the message, hit the stop and play buttons, or multiple combinations of all of these just to get a single message to play sometimes. I'm using a Samsung SGS3 with Synergy. Any way to fix this issue? Thanks much!

[Q] Cant download audio files from messenger

Hello,
I have a quick question. I am currently using Gingerbread Hero Deck and while chatting on the stock messenger, a friend tried sending me an audio clip. When I tried downloading it, it said "Unsuccessful". So I asked if he could send an image. That worked fine. He then tried sending a pic with an audio embedded and that failed also. Anyone have any ideas on how this could be fixed? It seems I cant receive any type of audio clip. Also, the audio clip is within the size for Sprint.
I also tried another messaging system called Handcent. That failed also.
Everything else on the rom works well.
Thanks!
I found a temp cure for this. I downloaded GO sms and it is able to download the audio just fine. The only downside is the battery life it sucks away. I am trying to keep my phone for battery life so if anyone else knows how to fix this with keeping the stock messaging app itll be greatly appreciated!
Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving

I don't have any issues with GOSMS wasting my battery. The audio files you are getting use 3G to download through the mms network, that could be why you are thinking that it's GOSMS and not just the process of downloading over 3G.
