Problem with aDownloader on my Captivate. Please help!

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.

[Q] Best option?

Hello to anyone reading this your time is greatly appreciated.
I have been trolling forums for a couple of days now and am not sure which process may help me out of my situation the best. I am new to android and recently used a one click Samsung s program to root my phone. It worked fine until after I uninstalled some stock apps and ran a cleaning app. I began getting the Sorry! The application settings (process com.android.settings) has stopped unexpectedly when I would try to change the voice ringtone and many apps followed suit when I would try to use them.
I came to the conclusion that a factory reset may solve my problem. It only made it worse. I can no longer download apps; kies, media player and my pc do not recognize the phone, kies won't update, the android market has a different theme, and most things I try to do on the phone I get the Sorry! message.
I did not flash my ROM because I did not learn about it until after the restore.
My question is what has the highest probability of making my phone work properly again, flashing the ROM (I have been looking at a Darky's custom ROM), downloading an newer firmware version ( I currently have 2.2 FROYO), or is there another way to fix the issues that I just have not come across yet?
I appreciate any pointers or advice and once again thank you for taking the time to review this post.

I would have to say your best option right now is to switch over to CyanogenMod 7.
Since you are still on froyo the installation is dead simple now thanks to codeworkx's efforts and atinm's nightly updates are knocking off the last few open issues like 9 pins. Plus great kernel makers and an experienced user base means that the community is active and high spirited.
Come to the CM7 thread in the dev forum, read the first post and the troubleshooting post (also on the first page) to get all the instructions and to see a video that makes very clear why cm7 is the gold standard of android ROMs.

Thank you very much I will check out the CM7 thread!

can't use wifi tethering and data at the same time

this problem is found since i flashed ics rom
i used to be rocket rom user, everything works great with r rom v22
then i started to use ics, also started to face the problem
the first ics rom i flashed is midtone2.0, everything is fine but the tethering
when data is in use, the tethering will turn off automatically and immediatly each time i turn it on.
however, when i turn off data...tethering runs normally, but it s useless as no network function...
then i reinstall the rom, but nothing changes
few days after i flashed the team rokcket rom, thought i could solve this issue
however it is still the same
then i restored the rocket rom, then the tethering works fine again with data in use
i repeated flashing ics and restoring and wiping and blah blah blah...nothing takes effect
team rocket rom: same problem
midtone2.0 :same problem
chain fire ics repack: same problem
i've go through a lot of threads but didnt find a solution...anyone got an idea?
sorry for my poor eng

All the ROMs u have tried with is based on Chinese leak i9220. So still the ROM is in Beta Stage and need to fix lot of bugs in it. you should wait for proper N7000 leak which is going to be out in next few days.

yes...but just feel so strange as it seems like i'm the only one facing this issue...
i 'll will try other ics leak from other countries then, hope it helps

Also, does anyone have a problem with tethering via usb?

Galaxy note boot up is driving me nuts!!

So I was on iMilkas rom for a bit. I decided that I really needed Skype and netflix to work so I went back to stock for a bit while I decided what to do. Everything went back fine. However whenever I reboot my phone it plays a tune over and over for about let's say, 6 MINUTES!!! It loops over and over and over. I go into my sounds and my default ringer is set properly and my notification sound is set. (neither is this annoying tune btw). Any ideas why this phone keeps doing it. Also I swear it gets a little longer with every reboot.
version: 2.3.6
baseband: DDLB1
kernel: DDLB2
oh and the song it repeats over and over is the one of the defaults: "Over the Horizon"

Does sound like a funny bug. I swear I heard something similar a month or so ago and a reflash of the rom solved it. Someone may be able to determine the exact problem for you though

Symptoms of improper flashing mate.Try factory reset if it doesnt work try to reflash the rom again

hard reset it or flash it again

Man I was hoping that wouldn't be the best solution although in the back of my head I think it is. Considering this, I might just downgrade again and re-enable root so I can restore with TB. Since this is where I'm heading I guess i'll spend the rest of my time in the developer forum finding the most suitable rom to jump on board with. Any suggestions from people on GB roms? ( I can't go to ics as I need Skype to work for "work".

Best rom to go with is rocketrom v22 its a gb rom and you can get the ics look with a matching theme put franco kernel 9 and you are ready to roll into awesomeness!!
rocket rom comes in miui theme by default but in the opening post of the rom u will find a perfect ics theme to go with!!
the best combo is rocket rom plus ics theme plus franco kernel

I've seen similar problems mentioned with early versons of SuperSU.
have you updated to this recently?
some were able to resolve the issue by disabling the notification toasts, and/or granting SU access as default.

I installed MIDNOTE 2.0 yesterday and I must say that it is a flawless ICS rom. I dont have any problems at all!!!

[Q] Having issues. Make me not hate my phone please!

Boyfriend (more technically apt than I, however, currently unavailable) helped me root and install a new rom on this POS and am still having issues (running [ROM][JB][4.1.2]Slimbean 3.1.0 Unofficial Galaxy Exhibit 4G by camcory)
Issues I have are as follows:
- Constantly having to use a task manager to kill apps that constantly start and restart so nearly all my memory is being used and phone is laggy as all get out. (Consequently, anytime I try to open an app, it takes AGES before it starts..including my contacts or msging...any app in general)
- Randomly (and sadly, not consistently) when I plug in headphones, music player starts on its own. Have to kill multiple times as every time I kill it it starts again until I reboot phone out of frustration. Only solution at moment was to delete all mp3s I had on my phone and remove music player (which sucks, cause I would like to be able to listen to my music on my phone...).
- When I use Pandora, Google voice search starts on it's own. I have to kill it multiple times as it keeps restarting, before I have to reboot phone out of frustration and that tends to take care of the problem..again, temporary (and annoying) solution.
- Curious, when I bought phone, it was partitioned (or so it appeared) so there was USB storage, SD storage, and then external SD. Even after installing new ROM, a lot of files that were on the phones internal SD storage remained, wondering if there's a way to wipe that so there's not duplicate files laying around, or files that are no longer necessary as they were part of the original phone's system, or if these are files that should remain on the phone for some purpose.
Also, in general, not terribly pleased with the look of this ROM. I really enjoyed the look and some of the default apps that came on the phone (the msging and contacts especially) when I bought it. Any recommendations as to possible ROMs that would be similar to the stock, yet not as craptastic, would be much appreciated.
Any and all help is much appreciated!

ITry Linero either version with formula84 gapps and either PoweredbyEvil v1 or DemonsBlood v8 over clocked max 1612 smoothass gov SIO io and set oom and minfree to strict in ROM toolbox. Use pimp my ROM for additional tweaks such as entropy sdcard tweaks all and carefully read memory tweaks
This benches and runs smooth with zero lag for me.
No problems with music or headsets. I deleted Apollo with ROM toolbox and installed fusion.
Memory is 168 free on average without using task manager due to tweaks in pimp my ROM and ROM toolbox.
I don't use Pandora but have yet to have Google now open when opening other apps
If inserted sdcard then you have the proper storage. The partition is for boot and internal then sdcard is external
Note that I use swapsd included in linero so my internal is really now external as most all goes by default to internal when installed so with a 32gig card I don't worry
When flashing ROM wipe cache + dalvik cache + system + factory reset + internal storage and I also wipe android secure. Be sure files you want saved is on sdcard along with ROM + gapps to be flashed.

Finally having a moment to look over everything and give it a shot today. Fingers crossed I don't brick it
Do you have any recommendations for launchers/themes? I was really keen with the look of the stock theme that came on the phone. The hololauncher that came with slimbean and the default theme I was not terribly keen with.
Thanks again for your help. I will let you know how it all pans out!

I personally use jellybean extreme cm10 and love it. Have tried many but always go back. I use the blue one as it is near black and updates is often and very well supported. It is a paid theme but worth it imo

So I've done all as you said except for the pimp my rom just yet (battery started dying and I couldn't bother to be tethered to the charger while I worked ). As it is, it seems a bit faster, and I've yet to run into the bugs that I had previously (but that's always how it is in the honeymoon stage). Am trying to stay optimistic.
I am dying for the old messaging, contact list, and alarm clock that stock had, but cest la vie I spose. I'll have to nose around in the future and see what's out there.
Thanks for all your help

So I installed and all seemed to be going well and then I started getting crashes and lockups. So I reverted back to Slimbean that I was running previously. Now most of the apps I had before (even on Slimbean) will not work; "aren't compatible."
I can't for the life of me remember how we bipassed this last time I dropped that ROM on here. Any suggestions?
Thanks!

Do a factory reset 2 times , wipe ROM 2x and wipe internal SD 2x then flash the ROM again. I recommend causing team win recovery made for our galaxy exhibit. Since of what I read you want jelly bean but a stock feeling I recommend you using remics jbjob rom

You need to change your dpi to 240 and reboot. Then clear cache on Play Store and reboot again. It might take a few app cache wipe/ reboots before your apps come back.
