Hello all.....
Ok so I got my captivate not to long ago and I'm a bit frustrated with a few issues I'm having.... Besides these.... I like it
Ok so here it goes I'm sorry if these are lame questions or problems......
1) I'm using Handcent as my SMS app..... (idk if that's the reason or what) every time I plug my phone in to charge it turns my SMS notification sound to vibrate... Once I unplug it the only way I can get sound back is to turn my phone off and back on... Very frustrating....
2) Example... I try to go on Facebook using the Facebook app and it takes me to the mobile site on browser..... This started happening a few days ago.
I tried searching for answers for number one and no luck......

You searched? Really sense I closed one thread about the fb issues and replied where the thread could be. As for you SMS issue. You should check your vibrate settings. If it is set on only when plugged in then you found your prob.
And please use more descriptive thread titles. Yours is of no use to someone who actually takes the time to search who might have a similar issue.
long shot but the problem might be caused by your phone auto mounting your sd cards both internal and external. facebooks notifications are stored locally in internal memory /sdcard/media/audio/notifications/, not sure about handcent sms. If your sd cards are mounted your phone can't find the tones therefore reverting to just a vibrate or no tone at all.
i think your problem #2 has to do with that new update that just came out...mine just started doing that too...

This is my first time using this site and it's great! I'm sorry for any stupid questions I ask that may have been answered somewhere else already. I have the ATT Tilt/HTC Kaiser 8925 and love it...recently the ringer randomly switches to vibrate. It does it sometimes when I'm using the calendar/appointments and sometimes when I haven't even touched it. I've seen tons of posts on HTC Home versions that affect it but I found (then lost) a thread that said something about about a Registry Edit you could to to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated or any other thoughts that may help fix this. I keep missing calls and it's driving me crazy!! Thanks so much!
i haven't searched yet, but mine will switch to any level, i keep it on vibrate while at work(Kohl's) and today it switched to loud while in my pocket and i didn't realize it till my VC started to read an extremely long text in front of my boss. fortunately he thought it was the coolest thing ever but he said it will never happen again or i'm fired(ass hole) but yeah i will post what i find when i search later

Thanks so much for your help! Yeah, this is driving me crazy..pretty much every time I'm using the calendar/appointment fucntion, it switches automoatically to vibrate from ring and vibrate. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks again!!!
Are you using a stock ROM?
Unless people have had the exact same problem, it's going to be hard to help you without more info on what software is on your device.
If it does happen to be a random occurrence, a hard reset usually fixes it.
i have a similar problem with my tilt
i have noticed this hapening on my tilt which is running duttys latest rom. its only been happening in the last fed weeks.
ive also noticed that sometimes the phone will ring for a couple of seconds then go into vibrate mode as well.
i found my problem to be the settings in spb phone suite. if you have any profiles set etc if you change the system settings spb phone suite will automatically change them back after like 10-20 minutes. hope this is a help to some people. but i was about to go crazy till i sat and stared long and hard at my phone and realized what could also be the problem. i no longer have the issue!
i think this happens when your profile is set to automatic... it takes your status from your calender (if you have set it to busy in some meeting) it will switch to vibrate and if there is nothing for you in the calender it switches to the normal mode.....
I had the problem, then I flashed to L26 v6 and no more problems.

*Dumb question, but how and where do you SET your PROFILE? There's tons of options on the phone, but I don't know of anywhere to change something that says profile from automatic to something else? Any info. on that would be great and I'll try your solution. I'd rather not do a hard reset if I can help it. Thanks!
Having the same issue. Saw this post:

Not sure if it works yet, but good luck to others!

Looks like this might be due to HTC Home. It appears there is an update / fix:

hey there,
yesterday i switched my sms notification sound to a costum one (a song from one of my albums). today at work a got mail and, oh my god, the phone didn't stop to vibrate and play the song. i had to softreset the diamond as quick as possible to keep peoples attention on me as small as possible...
it didn't stop even after reading the sms, entering or leaving the mailbox and so on...
question: how the heck do i get the diamond stop vibrating and stuff after receiving new sms?
help will be welcome
I have this same issue
It's happened to me twice. The first time, it would not stop vibrating until I removed the battery from the phone! The second time, a power-off took care of the issue.
Regards,
M.O.

As I always say fellasss:
When things go sour just Hard Reset and try again.
If problems persist try with different ROMS.
Greetings.
hi,
For starters I've had my G1 since it came out, been rooted for a while so i know what I've been doing.
Anyways.. I've checked the forums and I've seen similar problems like mine but not exactly the answers I need.
Basically my Digitizer is being unresponsive randomly and when this happens my entire phone just FC's everything. The first time i noticed this was when I would Charge my G1 using a Blackberry Charger when id text, the Screen would be unresponsive to touch on all of the screen and just lag on everything. So I would have to unplug it and re-plug it continually. Recently I switched to the new Cyan Rom (i forgot the number) and now it will just randomly be unresponsive with the touchscreen id go on apps and it will FC. Ive wiped and rebooted many times, ive switched roms multiple times as well. So I'm on my last resort and asking for help.
Any help is highly appreciated.

Try to upgrade to the 27.08 Radio/SPL combo. Follow all of the instructions contained within that post. It will suggest you also re-install your recovery. Do it. Once all of this is said and done, if its a software issue, it should be solved.
I had this same issue prior to the upgrade, and all is fine now. Mine didn't FC tho. If I touched the bottom of the screen, it would select something at the top. any questions or a perfect walkthrough, my direct email to my cell is in my info on the left.
<<<<<<<<<< Over there.
ah! thanks! Im actually going to try this now, and hopefully i don't fail and mess up my phone even more than what it already is. and yeah the FCs are really annoying i cant really do anything like make calls, which is ridiculous. Im also having problems with the camera as well i got those really funky colours in it. and then my regular speaker for calls isnt working unless i put it on speaker, i think my G1 is telling me it wants to die. lmfao.

Oh crap. You have the funky color camera?! That might actually be a hardware issue. But we can certainly try this out. I have the gTalk PC app, and it's up and running now if you wanna run through this.
About a week ago I noticed this problem happening and I'm not sure why.
Every time I answer my phone it answers in Speaker mode.
So for example if my phone is sitting on the table and a call comes in I swipe left to right to pick up the call. Normally at this point I would put the phone to my ear.
But over the past week I have noticed that when I answer the call the speaker is on and I have to answer then turn off the speaker then put it to my ear.
Can anyone help with this problem!!!!
Not sure if it's relevant but I have the following on my modded SGS
Go Launcher EX
Go Dialer
Go Contacts
Go SMS
They have all been on the phone for over 3 months with no problems.
The rest of my phones details can be seen in my sig.
I too have been experiencing this problem! ANd it too just started recently, I ahd no problems before as well, Im running Darky 2.3.4 though, but I too have Go SMS, perhaps its a recent update? Im going to uninstall and see.
It appears that the problem has sorted its self out ... for now !
I turned off the phone and back on again and it stopped answering the calls with the speaker on.
Lets hope it stays like that
ive read thaat the problem at least for some disapeared after updating gosms or gocall app or somrthing like that so keep your apps up to date
Yes the problem is fixed, just update; and then restart your phone.
Hey guys, so today I decided to backup my texts and once I did that I started to delete messages from my phone (as I normally do without any problems). I know it can take literally forever for just one convo to delete especially if you have over TONS of messages, so i waited and waited for the 'deleting messages' box to disappear.
I left my phone doing it's thing whilst ocassiaonlly using the phone at the same time, obviously I didn't do anything in texts, but when I went back on messaging I noticed it was gone, so I tapped on messaging again only to find the 'opening conversation' to appear and its been stuck like that for ages, therefore I cannot access any of my texts yet..
Any advice on what to do? Is it really still opening conversations? (it's been about 15mins probably!) and I have no idea if it deleted one of my convo's fully.. Is it safe to turn the phone off & then back on perhaps? I don't want to risk losing anything...
Hope it all makes sense. Thanks!
EDIT: nevermind sorry, it literally just stopped with the opening conversation message and back up. My convo I tried to delete is still there though, so will try again and not touch anything this time! Sorry, please remove this thread if you wish!

Appreciate the response, but I thought I would ask to see if other people had the same experience and therefore can share the right way forward?

Oh my days, it's now probably been about 2 hours since I started deleting and its STILL doing it - is it supposed to take THIS long?
I had my phone showing messages from another conversation/recipient a few days ago. In this case, all alerts from my train operator about delays were showing as being sent from my wife.
Killing the task and reloading messaging seemed to fix it, but it now has me worried that such problems might one day see me getting corruption errors, although I don't really have any texts I couldn't afford to lose.
