I Just recieved my new captivate (sent the other one in for warranty issues) in the mail, and am wondering if it's worth it to upgrade this 100% stock captivate to JH7, or if I should wait for 2.2?
Another suggestion
Upgrade to the Cognition ROM...you get JH7 with a lot of other goodies... http://cognition.theidiotshideout.net/phpmyfaq/index.php?action=show&cat=1
The GPS issue appears to have been resolved with this ROM, and the whole phone seems quite a bit snappier.

That's awesome; I'm gone for a week-ish and THIS pops up?
Major thanks.
+1 for the Cognition ROM... I have had my device 2 days now and the first thing I did on night #1 was blow away all that ATT and Samsung [email protected] and load Cog.... this ROM rocks... super fast for me. No telling when 2.2 will be baked enough on our devices for me to use it as my daily driver.... weeks maybe....
Flashed Cognition 2.1; Works wonderfully, sans GPS... This phone is turning out to be a real debbie downer in that department.
My GPS has been somewhat OK.... for the 3 times I used it, it was pretty darn close. It drifted a little when driving highway speeds, but crap, close enough for me most times. I think my phone is a late build... I waited for a while to pick one up due to the glass shortage that occurred earlier... curious, can we tell when our units left the factory, and if so, I wonder if they are coming out with different GPS chips on them?
One last thought - did you do a batt pull once your new ROM was in place? Just shooting off ideas... I hope it starts working better for you... I am really liking this phone compared to my Bold 9000.

I've never gotten a lock with either of my Captivates; What do you mean by a battery pull? Just lug the battery out of the phone while it's running and put it back in? I'm curious as to how that would be beneficial to GPS. (I've done a reset, but that's about it)

Yes, exactly. Pull the battery out, wait for a minute, put it back in and reboot. In many cases, this has (for me) fixed weird little issues after ROM updates etc. I have no evidence that this would affect the GPS in your case, but I thought I'd mention any tips/methods that have helped me in the past.
Yeah a battery pull usually solves a lot of issues when upgrading roms...I've had t so that twice.

Hi,
I'm seriously considering going out and buying this phone but I'm really not sure after seeing all the threads with people saying that they go back to their phone and it's switched off and requires a battery pull.
This seems to be a fairly serious problem but I was just wondering if it is happening to everyone who owns the O2x?
Please let me know if you are unaffected by the problem!

I've had mine since March and I have not experienced any freezes or reboots.
It really is a great piece of hardware. I'm not that fond of LGs software, but that can be solved with a custom ROM.

So, how do you get on Rusty, you seem like a very experienced XDA member.. how is the O2X treating you?
i am not the best guy to talk to . i just got the phone used yesterday for very cheap. i figured that if i dont like it, i can sell it for the same money or even make a little more and get the SGS2.
but so far. no crashes/reboots.. been more than 24 hours. using custom rom as well.
i got the phone for 300$. the stickers still on it. i figure if i decide to sell it. i wont lose at all..
so far. i am really loving the phone. i love the UI of LG. but its slow. it laggs. i wonder if there is a custom rom with the LG UI but smooth one.
right now i am on modaco. with 3000 quadrant. if i switch to google launcher. phone is smooth. if i switch to LG one, it laggs a little in the home screen. i tried the Tmobile version 2.3 on my optimus. its super smooth. but i cant make phone calls on it lol.
and i had a screen problem with the cayanogen rom. for some reason my screens dims and go bright on its own.
oh yeah. i also have a screen light leak/bleed. but it doesnt bother me much because the only way i can notice it if the room is dark and i have a black wallpaper.
Mine went slow once on stock, once isn't bad though. The froyo Rom does seem rushed in truth, (I have random battery drains from my Dialer which makes no sense) but I'm sure Gingerbread will have everything sorted.

Pretty well to be honest. I use CM7 nighties (I bought the phone specifically because it was going to be supported by them) so I cannot expect a bug free experience at this early stage.
I am enjoying it though, I came from a Nexus One that had bugger all internal storage and a poor digitizer, so proper multi-touch and 1.5GB spare for apps is fantastic.
The IPS screen is great if you can overlook the associated backlight bleed (it's not just the 2X, look at iOS devices as well, same thing), the GPS chip is excellent, I can get locks in place that my N1 couldn't.
The stock ROM is turd, frankly. It's fast, until you install something, then it becomes unusable for a bit until it's finished with the app... quality coding
fine
i have my lg optimus 2x now for over a month, no problems here.
i stil have the stock rom.
first v10a. no problem
later v10b. no problem
I have had 2 O2x now for litle over a month
one of them has had BSOD and restarts randomly - the other had none, atleast for the first month - but these past days this one has now also rebooted a couple of times.
Both are completely stock - not rooted and not using any custom roms.
Only using a different launcher which do help make the BSOD and Reboots less often.

I been over there as well. Most of the problems on the SGS 2 are either software or can be solved with apps. My O2X had so many problems that I could never use the phone and wifi at the same time. Bleeding, constant reboots/freezes crashes even with Custom ROMs. Since Im in afghanistan now I need a phone that will work not just when it feels like it. I will say that when the O2X was working it was a sweet phone. I just dont see the same problems with the SGS2 and Samsung tends to be better in the service side instead of LG leaving us pissing in the wind waiting for a "possible update" that might fix things or not.
guess i´m a lucky guy, too!
i have no crashes/reboots and absolutely NO backlight bleeding
Mine is also working properly.

I'm sorry if this is a noob question, but even the omniscient Google failed to give me a satisfactory answer to my dilemma.
I've waited, prayed and even made some ritual sacrifices to the Gods of the mountains under the sea to make Samsung update the I9000 to Gingerbread. And all that for this one feature: to use integrated SIP calling.
But when I updated to Gingerbread this morning and looked in the "Call Settings" menu, I couldn't find the "Internet Calling" option. With a sinking feeling that the mountain Gods have failed me, I decided to turn to the Tech Wizards of the xda-developers for help.
I saw in a few sites that it is possible to enable the option, but I couldn't understand anything as i'm a total noob in these matters. My phone's details:
Model: Samsung Galaxy S GT-I9000.
Firmware version: 2.3.3
Baseband version: I9000DDJV4.
Kernel Version: 2.6.35.7-I9000DDJV6-CL198883
Build Number: GINGERBREAD.DDJV6
Please help me out here. I'm desperate to the point of doing something crazy, like getting a Nokia.
Sorry for bumping this up. Somebody please help me out here.

lol That's TOO crazy! Personally, I never used SIP or Internet calls. But if it's that important to you, you can try flashing CM7 on your phone. It has this feature implemented extensively in the settings. Besides, you won't come back from CM7. Everything else is pretty much inferior!
Or find another rom like XWJVH or XWJVO they have all the stuff

Okay, but is CM7 stable? I read that some features are not working properly. Anyway, i'll try it out.
I felt that using inbuilt SIP instead of Skype or Fring would lessen battery usage. I also liked the idea of dialling from the dialler and video calls over IP.

Wont that change the product code? That happened to me when I flashed a froyo leaked ROM. My phone had the product code as "KOR" instead of "INU".
And thanks for your replies, guys. I had almost given up hope.
I looked into CM7 and some of the bugs are a bit scary. Esp, the issue with the phone unable to charge when it is powered off. I routinely run the risk of a fully drained battery, even with daily charging. Besides, the gingerbread update has speeded up the phone considerably. So, I'm quite happy with it, except for the SIP thing. I'll have to consider it more before I make the jump.

That is not a bug, just operating according to CM7 spec. When you plug in the charger, the phone boots up. You can then turn the screen off and go to Airplane mode if you wish it to charge more quickly. No big deal.
As for the rest, there are very few standing issues left with CM7, and those tend to only occur on a case by case basis. However, it is an acquired taste, and rewards people who enjoy tinkering and learning about their phone and Android. Since it is so easy now to install CM7 and then return to Samsung ROMs if you need to, it makes sense to try it out and see how you like it.

I didn't know it boots up completely, even in the case of a low battery. Some person said that as soon as it powers on, it finds out that the battery is low and hence powers off again. It keeps going on through it cycle and hence never powers up.
Still i'll look into it. Thanks.

Nope....untrue. It just boots up. The behavior is similar to the iPhone / iPod touch.

After a 21-hour marathon session of flashing and re-flashing Eclair, Froyo, Gingerbread and CM7 on my phone, I finally managed to get CM7 working. After using it for a couple of days, I haven't found anything useful to justify the effort. Though the fact that devs are going into so much pains to develop this ROM is astounding. So I finally bought ROM Manager premium this morning to support the movement. Also I am planning to stick with CM7 for the predictable future. BTW, your guide for installing CM7 is amazing, rschenck. Thanks a lot.
As for the SIP feature, I tried it and found the results to be under-whelming. Quality is poor and implementation is half baked. I found Skype to be better. Also all my contacts are on Skype and none are using SIP. Finally battery drain was much higher than using Skype. Hence i'm not returning to SIP anytime soon. I feel Skype or Fring is better suited for my purposes.
Thanks for all your help, guys. And also thanks for introducing me to CM7.
Hi there!
Ok so recently my Cappy has decided its going to be screwy. For some reason if I plug it in to charge, it doesn't charge, instead I get a battery drain 5-7% within about 20 mins. I've tried 5 different cables (Zip cord, walmart one, random ones I found/borrowed, one staright plug in one not usb) and 5 different chargers (car/wall plugin hybrid, apple wall charge two different computers.) and its all the same result. I can still use it as a USB no problem, moved some files around and removed and added soem photos no problem. There is no issue with the port itself (on the outside) my cover snapped off but I make sure to keep it clean.
I also have no odd battery draining I can usually get about 12-14 hours out of it. No out of place wakelocks, no apps running wild, and all my backups are on the cloud or on my laptop. Only thing I could think this is is a hardware issue. That or its just time to get a new phone. Thankfully I have an external battery charger and I've just been switching out batteries.
Any thoughts?

My guess is that you need a new battery.
Does it show the charging animation? Also, when plugged to the pc, does fast charge help at all?
Does it charge when the phone is turned off?

That's just it, I bought 2 new batteries, RavPower ones. They work great and last forever when I charge. My original battery and my cheap one off ebay do the same.
And yes it shows the charging thing, by battery monitor says it's charging and shows the different kinds like a/c or usb, everything acts as it should just no charging.
I have never tried the fast charge, I forgot I even had that. I'll give it a shot.

Also are you OC'ing or changing the Voltages? Probably won't make a difference in this issue but worth looking into. My Cappy refuses to OC at all, even at 102% it starts to act weird (System UI crashes sometimes, I lose signal, etc).

I actually have mine stable at 110% still don't know how lol. Cappys seem to be very picky. I'll try turning it back down.

Apparently Samsung's hardware consistency control was lacking when the Captivate was made, so that's why they're so picky, which sucks for any kind of troubleshooting or development.
I wish I could get my Cappy to 110%. But try turning it back to 100% see if that changes anything. Also does this happen on multiple ROMs or just the one you're currently on (probably not the issue but hey I've seen weirder).

Got it, off-topic but any reason you haven't gone to Slim build 4? I saw slight improvement in performance on my Cappy. Was my daily driver until this morning when I flashed C-Rom v16, which for me is as fast. Just trying to get used to how big everything is compared to Slim, I liked being able to read about 7-8 messages in the messaging app, but now I can only see about 3 lol.

Sorry x3 was a smiley not a build number, I'm on 4.2.
Anyways! I let my phone charge while off for about an hour. It was at 49% turned it back on and it was at 23% see what I mean? That's a crazy amount of juice.
Also, yeah I did play around with some other ROMs and I hated how big they all are, I like how small everything is on Slim. It just works better for me. X3

I'll try not to use it so you don't get confused. Its just habit.
I don't either. I really did see much on hardware issues that would drain it like this. I really am stumped by this.
And recently I did flash back to stock and work my way back up to Slim to see if it would help and it didn't. I didn't think to see if it would charge on stock or CM 10 but if it really came down to it I guess I could flash back to stock and play with it. Only reason I don't think it's the ROM is because to my knowledge no one else is having this particular issue.
If you have anything I can do to test or provide info just ask. I'll do whatever is needed to help figure it out. And I'd really like to as I'll have this phone for a bit longer then I thought so I'd like to see it fixed

Do you have a battery charger? Like one that you just attach the battery to, to charge it. We could then see if it's your batteries (highly doubt) or your cappy (99.999% sure).
I don't really want to suggest checking with multi-meters only because the phone internals would be exposed while it's on and if you're not used to working with hardware like that you could accidentally short something etc.
Why not make a nandroid, flash to CM10, see what happens with your battery then. That way, if you ever need to go back to your current ROM you could just restore it.

Yeah I do, it's what I've been doing to keep using my phone, I've had this problem for a month now. I think.
It was suggested I open up the phone and check the charge port, make sure it's clean, that kinda stuff but I don't want to do that unless I'm absolutely 100% sure it's not something else.
Wouldn't hurt. I'll go try it. Thanks for being so helpful. :3

Huzzah! Well, I got CM loaded, did a full wipe too. Everything looks so big. I'll report back in an hour or two. :3
EDIT
And its charging!
I guess it is in fact the ROM. Dang. I wonder why?
I'm going to see if I can get this to charge fully before bringing it to the SlimBean thread. Just to be extra sure.
EDIT
It seems to get to around 30% (31% as of now) and it just stops. It won't charge any higher. Been like that for about 45 mins.
And EDIT again. x3
Ok so I (still on CM10) couldn't get it go charge past 30% so I decided, I'm gonna poke around and I thought back on the fast charge, I wondered if it had an app, I managed to find one (Fast Battery Charging x2) and ITS CHARGING! I downloaded another app before this called Battery Mix, I love it as it has awesome battery graphs, anyways before I used Fast Battery Charging x2 it (Battery Mix) didn't have any stats on how long it would take to charge, now it does, says about 3 hrs to full, so we shall see where it goes. I don't know how the app works but I will wait and see. If this works I'll hop back to Slim and see if I can't make it work there. I don't know if it will though.
EDIT:
Got to 100%, going to flash back to Slim and see if I can't get it to charge there with the setup in CM 10 I have now, if I doesn't then I guess it must be Slim?
Edit!
Alright so back to Slim and the best I could muster is to keep my battery level the same over night. I tried using the phone for a bit and the battery drain happened again. Overnight I had nothing installed aside from gapps.
Hm...So CM10 w/ fast charge seemed to work, but when you went back to Slim the problem re-appeared? That's extremely odd. I reverted back to Slim 4.2 when C-Rom v16 was slowing down, just dirty restored and charging isn't an issue. Have you tried C-Rom v16? It's based off of Slim Rom I think.
Try it I guess, lets see if it's any other custom CM10 based ROMs. This seems like such an odd issue...

Yeah, C-Rom worked great. Charged and everything. I ended up going back to Slim due to my power button being stupid again. It goes in and out and I couldn't find an option to do volume rocker wake on C-Rom so I switched back to Slim.
Its the weirdest thing. I don't even care about fixing it anymore as just figuring out the puzzle. X3

Its the weirdest thing. I don't even care about fixing it anymore as just figuring out the puzzle. X3

Haha, I share that feeling. Once something is wrong and I can't figure it out, it's not even about fixing it so much as knowing WHAT was wrong. Not sure if those settings are also available on the new ROM I'm trying now (GamerzROM, oddly enough I was going to port it for the captivate this weekend but I guess the devs beat me too it). If I see them while I'm playing around today I'll shoot you a PM.
But the fact that C-ROM works great, even though it's built off Slim (I think), puzzles me completely. Have you tried any other version of Slim?

Its just so annoying as I don't know a lot but I am trying to learn.
And thanks that would be fantastic actually. I appreciate it. :3
No I haven't I've tried CM 10 stable, Avatar, Pac-ROM (very fun ROM so many settings to mess with), C-ROM, Xylon, and Slim.

Hi. I'm very new to xda and unsure how it all works, so please excuse me if my 1st post isn't written with the proper terminology! Ok. So, here's my issue. I, have the Samsung Galaxy Exhibit 4g. It, was rooted with cwm, running on jellybean 4.1.2. Recently, I was installing a new rom, from Slim. I, found it on xda. I, believe it's called Black Out. I, was doing a backup, while, in cwm recovery mode, and I happened to fall asleep in the middle of the backup. I, woke up an hr or so later, only to discover my phone completely turned off and wouldn't turn back on! I, had a full battery. I, have tried on numerous occassions to leave the battery out for several hrs and replace it, but still nothing! I've used different chargers and still nothing. Not, even a light blinks! The only thing, I haven't tried is replacing the battery. The phone is only 3-4mo old, so I didn't think it would be the battery. I've never seen this happen before! The ROM, didn't even get installed! I've searched high and low about my problem, and haven't come across not 1 solution! Could, this just be a case of a bad battery, or of a bigger issue?? I'm still under waranty but of course already being rooted, and having no way to get into my phone to unroot, I've voided that! PLEASE, if anyone can help with some support I'd GRATELY appreciate it! Anything, that can help save me $, would be wonderful! Thank you!

Sounds like you may have installed a rom for a different phone as I have not heard of a slim blackout rom. I am sorry to say you probably bricked your device. If it doesn't even power on them you have no way of getting into Odin mode.

If you didn't install a ROM and just did a backup your batt is prob just dead try leaving it charged for a few hours. Doing a backup won't brick your phone

Yeah if its a backup then you can't brick your phone doing it. Sounded to me like you were installing a rom when it happened though?
If you want to see if its the battery, go to batteries plus, they will let you try the battery to make sure that is the problem

If you didn't install the ROM try another battery try getting the premium battrey got one 2 wks ago and works good even has a chip in it that prevents the battery from over heating Which probley happened in your situation.

Yes, I did notice it wasn't the correct rom for my device afterwards But I never got the chance to install the rom. It was on my sd card but never updated. I was in the middle of backing up my phone, on a full battery before it just went dead! I'm going to try a new battery and see if that was the problem. I hope so! Thank you for your advice!
