Contact/Sim card/sync issue - Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

When I first got this unit, when I added a contact it gave the option to save to google account or Sim card/ sd. I do not have that option anymore, nor can I find a setting for it. Im sorry if this is noobish question, or if this has been covered elsewhere.

Is your phone stock? It is seeming more and more to me that stock phones are having major issues with everything. My wife had a stock LG Optimus S and its barely a month old and already having major issues with handling and weird random stuff like what you just explained. Can anyone else confirm this? I have no problems with my Zio other then wifi cutting out. That's been this particular sets only problem. I keep up on this thing, stock phones don't have the control to keep caches free and clear and so on.

Yes its all stock. And also I can't/don't know how to set my mp3 ringtones to my contacts. Like, an mp3 for one contact, a different mp3 for another contact, so I can know who is calling me just by hearing which mp3 is ringing.

The answers to your questions are all in reading around here. Not gonna spoon feed you. Assigning a custom ringtone to a specific person is really easy and if you can't do it you need a less smartphone because its obviously too smart for you.

Spoon feed? Nah nah, ever since the "upgrade to 2.2" the option to set different mp3s to different contacts is no longer showing up when editing a/any contact. So ill disregard ur lil smart a** reply. I ain't all tech-y with smartphones and stuff, I just want to set it like before the 2.2 so if I'm at work welding or playing baseball with my kids, I can hear who's calling without having to stop mid-weld or mid-pitch just to see who's calling. Yeah its probly already answered somewhere in hear but I ain't searchin n searchin when HOPEFULLY I can just ask, post, and just check back later for someones appreciated help, not some sh** like spoon feed crap. If ud rather reply with that crap and not with something helpful to what's being asked then just be an ass with someone who is already being an ass. L8Rs.

The lord helps those who help themselves. No one else will spoon feed you either. Jack Wagon. If you won't search no one is going to help you. I search and that's how I find things I need. I don't post and wait for someone else to read for me, because I'm not lazy. Get real. If you can't figure out simple things like mp3ringtones you have a phone that's too smart for you, idiot.

Dude I already answered that in the last thread you made regarding this.

Wow, this is so simple. I will go ahead and tell you how to do it. Got to your contacts, find the one you want to set the ringtone for and hit the menu button, get this it actually pops up a menu that has some options, one of which is "Ringtone" Select "Ringtone" Then it will pop another menu (tricky I know) bear with me here, choose between Android System or User Added Ringtones or Zedge or whatever other ringtone apps you might have. The next step is all up to you just pick the ringtone you want and VIOLA!!!!!! /discussion
Alright can we stop the bashing on others and get back to the subject.

Everything is koo up untill I select ringtone, after I select it, a list of stock tones (that I know I didn't put in) come up starting with default, Android beat box, sunshine, rainy day, waterfall or something like those. Never does it ask Android ringtones or user submitted tones or anything of that nature.

I SOLVED MY OWN PROBLEM! I WENT TO MUSIC, LONG PRESSED A SONG, SELECTED "SET AS RINGTONE". HOME SCREEN, THEN CONTACTS, SELECTED THE CONTACT, MENU, OPTIONS, RINGTONE, THEEEEN IT WAS IN THE LIST TO PICK FROM ALONG WITH THE STOCK ONES! No one came close to suggesting that process. But thanks anyways.

can't sms CAn't send from Gmail.

Ok..
Rom--Firefly 3.0
I recently have been unable to send Gmail from my phone-- Yes the Email works but not Gmail. app.
Additionally now I can't send Txt messages.. or recieve them apparently.. .
Any ideas.
Sorry for the Nubish question..
Usually questions go in the Q&A section. Questions about a certain rom go in their respective stickies.
Have you tried clearing the app data? Have you tried reinstalling the apps from the rom package? Those are some good first steps.

Check your imie and see if it matches the one one back of you phone. Or I might be your ANP might be messed up, make sure it matches your carrier's specific ANP. This is just my 2 cents.

[Q] How to store birthday information in contacts?

Hello guys,
I'm using X8 for a month now and I still have a very annoying problem (for me at least) - I can't find a way to store my contact's birthdays directly from my phone. I've read a lot about it and it turns out, that there's actually no way of doing that Yes, I know I can edit my contacts in Google Contacts and then transfer them to the phone, but I don't really like this option since I usually want to write the person's birthday just after writing his name and phone.
I'm writing this thread here, because it's not a general Android 2.1 problem. I have a couple of friends with some LG Android phones (not sure about the exact models) and they have this option in their stock Android 2.1.
So, how can I do this without any 3rd party apps (like EboBirthday and others). I hope there will be a solution to the problem. If not - can you please tell me a custom ROM that has this feature. I've tried a couple, but they don't. I don't really care what version of Android will this ROM have, because I'm actually satisfied even with the stock 2.1.
Thanks in advance for any suggestions and help.
P.S. Happy first post
Maybe u can.
Edit a contact and click on add detail....select birthday if its there....hopefully ,,it should be there....
Hit thanks if it helped:fingers-crossed:

[Q] Apps safe to remove list

Can someone point me towards a list of stock apps safe to remove? I know I saw a list somewhere here but no luck finding that right now.
Thanks
take attention to: sorry, couldn;t find it here.
You'll need root, and I'd recommend you to freeze it first, before uninstalling, using Titanium Backup.
I would thank you if I had a Galaxy S 2 or had asked this question in the Galaxy S 2 section.
Sorry to disturb you, but if I'd be you - I'd look on common apps at beginning.
If you're unable to do so - apologies again for taking your precious time.

there is another section in which this tread can be moved. I'm looking for someone able to read the logs and help me to find a solution. can a moderator move it to the appropriated section?
