Problem with aDownloader on my Captivate. Please help! - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Today I installed the aDownloader on my Captivate and it seems to be working fine, except when the phone goes into sleep mode, I can't get out of it. I have to take out the battery and reboot the phone that way, and I noticed when I do that, even though the phone was unresponsive it was still downloading data. Does anyone know how to stop it from freezing up?

some more info would help.....
like what rom and kernel you're using. oc/uv settings is my first thought ....
I personally am unfamiliar with that app but without more details I don't think anyone could give you an answer...

Im using the Phonix ROM. All I did today is root the phone, install clockwork, and then installed the Phoenix rom. Then I found the adownloader app, installed it, and once I started downloading files, the phone started freezing up

Well I think that if anything it would be a kernel issue but I believe the latest phoenix comes with speed mod which is known for it's stability.
I'd ditch the app or try a similar one to see if you get the same result.
Sorry I couldn't help more.

Darkyy's Q&A

Darky Q&A
It seems that a pinned Q&A for Darky is missing here.
I have been using Darky 8.1 and just recently decided to give 9.3 a try. One of the things I have liked about Darky is that that the version of 2.2.1 on it supports bluetooth voice dial. I have a BlueAnt S4 in my car, and although it does not voice dial 100% perfectly, it's still worth using. (the rest of the 2.2.1 roms I have tried that do not support bluetooth handsfree)
Okay, here is my question: on Darky 8.1, going to Settings - Display - Wallpaper -Lock screen wallpaper - Gallery ... would result in->
Sorry!
The application Settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again.
[Force close]
I seem to remember the initial update to 9.0 (or 9.1) listed that this was fixed. I just got 9.3 running last night, and this still results in a force close. Does Darky have a forum to post this kind of thing, where the developers might see it?

Okay, Swype just expired.

Same problem here, also on Darky 9.3 extreme cappy. I've tried reflashing the captivate swype file, restoring a previous back up, and installing the newest beta. No dice on all 3 accounts.
This doesn't seem to be a problem with just Darky though, and poking around the site it doesn't look like it is exclusive to the Captivate either.
Darky's 9.3 phone not receiving calls
Once again I would have posted in Darky thread in android development if I could..
Ever since I have installed Darky's my phone has had problems receiving calls and will often say "simcard removed from phone please reboot". Today I got a new simcard because I thought that may be the problem but I tested and it still doesn't work. My friend rung me and as the call comes through my phone loses service and the call gets cut instantly and slightly later it'll pop up saying simcard removed please reboot phone. Is anyone else having this problem? Maybe it's time to go to Cyanogen Mod..
Did you ever restore data with Titanium Backup after you installed Darky's?
Yup I restored everything that was on my old rom Cognition
That's your problem. I used to have the same problem. Your phone settings is different between the two ROMs. You should typically ONLY restore app data. Not the system data.
Try going into back into TiBu, then find 'Phone' and click on 'Wipe data'. Hopefully that'll make your calls work again. If not, you might need to reflash Darky's.
System data backups really don't work well between different ROMs (and even different versions of the same ROM).
P.S. Nice to meet another NZer btw.
Oh I see, yeah that makes sense, I asked a friend if I should restore everything I backed up and he wasn't sure so I just restored them all anyway. Now I'm not sure if I should reflash Darky's or move to Cyanogen Mod.
I would try the 'Wipe data' thing first before I try any flashing though!
Upgrade from 9.2 to 9.3 help
In the dev thread, it says you should flash a captivate kernal and modem before installing 9.3. I was wondering if anyone could point me in the direction of a guide to flashing modems/kernals.
Just kinda worried cause I have read so much about people bricking their phones when putting the wrong kernal/modem combo together. I noticed on the Darky app it has options already there, so do I have to downlad the kernal seperately, or did it come with the app, or does the app download it from somewhere?
I am afraid that if I flash the modem first, then reboot it won't match the kernal and I will get stuck.
Thanks!

You can flash a Modem in Recovery just like you Flash a ROM or Kernel. If you happen to Flash a wrong Modem it won't cause any problems other than you won't get Cell Service. I am presently using the New znkp1 modem and it doing Great on my Cappy with 9.3 Darky and SuckerPunch/Voodoo Kernel.

Just letting you know that in the Darky Rom Configurator App, if u enable LockScreen Wallpaper, it would use Samsung Gallery which has a battery draining bug. Hence it is an option in the Darky app before flashing.
If you really want to use it, enable it and then flash. Or I'll just work on disabling that menu option.

Don't know if I'm too late on this but...the modem/kernel combo included has been working good for me; no need to change it. Like rickysa2000 said, don't select a modem/kernel using Darky's Configurator when you flash 9.3.
My only SMALL issue has been when going into APPS and sometimes they won't scroll for maybe two/three seconds.
But it's still my favorite ROM so far (though it's only my fourth). Especially impressed with the dev's attitude and willingness to help!!!
[ROM] Darkyy's 10.0 Gingerbread!

i do not think the port will be coming anytime soon. Without source you can not have a captivate kernel. You can flash i9000 but no back button, and screen rotation, head phone jack, etc

[Q] GT-I9000 Bootloop with Wifi on

Hi All,
I have a strange problem for the last month or so which is giving me a lot of headache. I was hoping someone here could help me.
I have a galaxy s i9000 which I got on contract from 3 UK a few months back which came with Froyo 2.2.1. Everythng was fine and sometime later, i was offered an upgrade to Gingerbread and I went ahead with it. Then, I decided to root the phone as well with CF-Root, something I had never done before (rooting Androids that is).
It went well with that as well, and I got CWM and Superuser installed but I discovered that I can't use the Wifi anymore. The moment I switch on the wifi, within a few seconds the phone goes off into a bootloop. Switching off, battery pull, nothing works and the bootloop just comes back when the phone is booted back up. Apart from a full factory reset and a restore from a nandroid backup I haven't found a way of correcting this. So effectively, I am without Wifi at this point. Since then, I have switched to a different cf-root kernel, added lagfix etc. and everything works...except the wifi. I have not touched the ROM in any way, despite being tempted to do so many times. Didn't want to break anything else in the phone being quite new to this.
The current setup of the phone is the following:
Firmware: 2.3.3
Baseband: I9000JV5
Kernel: 2.6.35.7-I9000XXJVO-CL182937se.infra
Build: GINGERBREAD.NEJVD
I had other cf-root kernels before, and all of them have the same wifi issue. This one at least gives me a very smooth interface.
Would really really appreciate if someone out there can help me or point me in the right direction. Why am I getting this bootloop when I switch on the wifi and is there a way of stopping this? Many thanks in advance.
Abhi
I'd come off that baseband as its your network operators release, flash JVH, JVP, JVR or JVB or something, then all should be fine dude

Many thanks. Finally took the plunge and used rom kitchen for jv5 with full wipe. Things seem to be working fine now. Am still using the same kernel and it looks ok so far!
Word of advice....galaxian kernel will double your phone speed it *whoosh* super quick lol

Thanks for that! But now, using my new found confidence on all things Android have installed GB 2.3.4, again from ROM kitchen. The kernel is the Chainfire kernel of JVP. Its fantastic and the phone has speeded up tremendously!! Will still try Galaxian to see if it gets better.

No luck. Just tried that along with several other "GPS Fix" apps. For GPS Aids, the XTRA (native mode) fails so I tried using it in "forced mode". Still nothing. Curious why I can't start lbstestmode.

Hmm you might have a captivate with a really bad gps .(hardware)
Where can I download v2? I'm running 1.9 now and loving it. The best battery I've had, ever. I'm getting 15 to 19 hours usage with ~2hrs display and 1-2hrs talk. The same basic setup since the day I bought it (7/10), multiple gmail accts, wifi and bluetooth on and display set to automatic.
3G problem
Hello I love the ROM. I had Fasty 2.5 but changed to Fasty II 1.9. Now my Browser dont work in 3G, yes in WIFI, also the Opera Mobile, but Opera mini works OK and other software that use 3G like Market and Slingplayer also work OK.
Thanks!

Loaded Fusion V and have GPS back. But, I prefer FastyII...
So Far So Good
I haven't had a chance to really test drive the ROM yet, but things are looking fine thus far. There is a small bug. I have the honey smoke theme. I noticed that when I go to make a wifi connection and enable auto rotate (when entering WEP key) I have to manually go into settings in order to turn it off again. The drop down auto-rotate button won't work. Nothing major. Keep up the good works guys!
App kill
3rd day on fasty.. no issues.. Excellent battery life
I miss the CM7 feature which kills the current app by long press Back button. If possible, could you please add that in the next version
I have a problem, sometimes I try to open an app and looks like crash or something because reboot the phone, was with latitude, TouchPal keyboard trying to open it and the last was trying to read a text .

Last I checked fasty 2 thread is closed, and I lack the link to dl atm. But on cyanogen you should flash to stock. And get GB bootloaders if you dont have them. Also If you dont havr bootloaders id recommend flashing jf6 or kb1 (based on your phones build). After on stock flash GB bootloaders and then flash boogs kh3 kernel, then cwm rom. Alternatvly you can flash stock kh3, but i still recommend jf6 or kb1 first.
Im not on my computer so dont have links sorry

The thing is whenever I am using my tab, suddenly the tab doesn't respond(particularly the touch screen) and I have to lock the tab and unlock it in order to fix it. I had this issue when i was in stock 2.2 then upgraded to stock 2.3 and still had the issue. I Decided to flash with overcome 4.0 and still the issue is there, I hope someone can help me with this..

If you have upgraded and tried some custom ROMs and are still having these issues, I would look into faulty hardware.
But if you want to try another ROM and have a CDMA(VZW) GT check out this custom ROM. Runs smooth and is stable and pre-rooted.

Phones giving me major problems ever since rooting

Ever since i rooted my phone i have been having and noticing more problems or getting worse and i am just wondering if it is because i rooted it, the phone itself, or maybe it was not rooted the right way or a proper way. I had a friend do it and needless to say hes off in his own little world half the time. Thats besides the point though the problems I am having are the touchscreen does not work half the time i have to tap on it a bunch of times for it to even register another one is i click apps and they will not open once again i have to keep hitting them if they open at all. Apps stop working and force close all the time along with the whole phone just freezing up on me. The keyboard doesnt work half the time and usually when something wont work it will just force close on me. I thought when i rooted my pphone it was gonna work better and be faster but so far i have had nothing but problems and i have had 6 maybe 7 roms flashed onto it and every single one the same thing. before it wasnt great but now it frustrates me so much i wanna just throw it out the window. Any help would be greatly appreciated and im a newbie at this so if you could explain things to me id once again appreciate it.
Rooting a phone gives you access to system files and should not affect the phone functions. Did you do anything after rooting? I think you need to find out how it was rooted.
Perhaps you could tell us which process you used to root?
sent from my PACman Atrix HD
Best way to troubleshoot this is by unrooting the phone by using the RsdLite tool to go stock again. Then go to the Original Developer section and download the rooting method by djrbliss to start over. Thats how i always fix my problems
Sent from my Atrix HD using ProBAM rom and XDA 4 Premium
I bet your issues would be resolved if you flashed a custom ROM. If you don't want to do that though, then you can just RSD Lite back to stock Jellybean. WARNING: You need to look up Myth Tools and use it to unlock your bootloader before you attempt flashing anything of any kind. I have seen several on this forum hard brick due to trying RSD Lite on locked bootloaders.
thank you everyone for the advice i had no idea i could turn my phone back stock i am going to do that now and follow the instructions to re root it that is exactly what i wanted thank you. I have tryed everything my latest rom is pacbam which is nice i like it alot but it still messes up after that i flashed a better kernel and pure performance i found it in the thread of PacBam but they havent done much.
The name of the rom is ProBam my bad
Stick with ProBAM kernel as it works great. All you have to do is to tweak the phone with CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker Mod for play store. Get Init support and your phone will fly

I posted something earlier about my phone being stuck at the bootload unlocked screen and i came back to this post to try to go back to stock while i wait for a response so maybe ill have a phone but I was using ProBam and that gave me problems also i am now wondering at this point if its just my phone but you said to get CrossBreeder and Android Tweaker what are those exactly and what do they do or help?
Do you have an unlocked bootloader and cwm installed? I assume you do since you're running a custom rom.
