UCKB2, 1106, Updated Froyo?

Just went down to at&t and exchanged my 1007 captivate for a 1106. The firmware on it is UCKB2 instead of UCKB1. So far the gps is horrible but I haven't had much time with it. Its still stock no root. I'll get back with you guys later. I have to go for now.

That sucks, also the reason why I don't exchange my 1007. The GPS works, it ain't great but it works.

GPS didn't work on my old one either so I figured I'd take the chance.
What I find interesting is the updated froyo build.

Hi, Wolf how did you get a 1106? Did you set up an exchange over the phone or did you go into a at&t device center? I just setup an exchange of my 1007 that I got on launch day in hopes of a better GPS. I thought I would try it out before my 1 year warranty was up. I was hoping to get the newest hardware rev. but your experience sounds bad.

I went to the local AT&T store and tried to explain to them the GPS issues I was having. They ended up getting hung up on AT&T Navigator trying to tell me to use that to get my GPS to work. Eventually they set me up to call the AT&T warranty department. Then the Warranty Department told me that kept thinking it was a software issue and wouldn't honor the warrant and told me to call Samsung. Called Samsung and they told me to call AT&T, then I had the store manager talk to Samsung themselves and eventually it got worked out that I was able to to an in-store trade out. And I got the 1106.

So if anyone wants me to create a back up / pull the firmware from my phone I'm going to need assistance, as I've never done that before. The KB2 Rom maybe more stable on another device.
Edit 1: Also, on this build the colors seem to be a little off. Maybe a little warmer than normal.
Edit 2: Just rooted and made a backup so I can start flashing this thing. If anyone wants the FW the offer still stands until Monday at 6PM eastern time. After that I probably won't have time to pull it for a while.

^ Dang, wish I could help, but I don't have the know-how.
Sure hope someone offers up. I really would like to test that KB2 modem out.

unknown sources enabled perhaps ?

That's something you should have tested before you left the store.
I just returned my 1007 via the phone and received a 1012. That phone's GPS didn't work either so I went to the repair center (40 minutes away) and exchanged it again.
I made them confirm the GPS would lock in under 10 seconds on the first phone they brought out, another 1012. It did not so I asked if they had any newer builds...the guy brought out a 1102 and it grabs a lock and holds it.
The 1102 also had the UCKB2 kernal which has the signed bootloaded which must be cracked before customer roms will work. Annoying, but there are easy workaround to it posted here already.

UCKB1 official Froyo build is horrible in many aspects. UCKB2 is probably just some bug fixes. I'd skip all AT&T Froyo build to the UCKF1 Gingerbread ROM. So far it is a much better 'official' ROM than any official Froyo ROM. If the rumor is correct, GB ROM will be released in the middle of July, I'd bet this UCKF1 is the final build.

Interesting. I exchanged mine last week. GPS didn't work, search button pressed itself sometimes etc. Got one with great GPS, but didn't notice when dim the screen was yellow. Had to go back and got an 1102. Didn't check version but right now I'm on cog 5 beta 3 and got there with no problems.

I just went and exchanged my phone again. This time I got a 1106 with KB2 and perfect GPS. I got 10/0 (visible/in-use) satellites inside the AT&T store. As soon as I went outside I got 10/10. Inside this old gov't building I'm seeing 6/0 in the center of the room but close to the window I get 7/5. Never out of all my Captivates, this being my fourth, have I seen such good GPS.
I also made it a point to show the difference in GPS ability compared to my old phone, my new one, and the display units to the store manager so he couldn't try to BS me.

I got my 1105, and it had UCKB2 on it as well. The GPS was terrible. Call quality was great, though. So far, I've been using the KC1 modem, and GPS lock is fast and stable, but call quality suffers at two bars and less.
I never knew that the GPS issues could be related to hardware problems, but it makes sense. I can put my wife's BB Torch next to my Cappy and she has -65dBm and mine has -95dBm. I've burned through about all the modems thinking it was software related and now I'm wondering if my phone has other issues. I can see a dB or two difference simply due to different antenna configurations, but a 30dBm difference is huge (the scale is logarithmic).

Just thought that I would add to this thread. I just got home from the Warranty Center with two replacement Captivates both with UCKB2 on them. Haven't had much time to fool around with anything yet though to confirm GPS or bug fixes.

GPS is the best ever on my new 1012 UCKB2
I had a 1007 before and the GPS with various fixes was "OK" - much better than my wife's 1007 with the same config. However, I swapped it out yesterday and got a 1012 with UCKB2 and the GPS works perfectly. I actually wondered if I should stick with stock (a horrible thought) since I didn't want to screw up good GPS and then not be able to get KB2 back. It took quite a few tries to root it - SuperOneclick 1.95 worked after failures with One-click, SuperOneClick V2 beta and 1.7.
I will flash GB regardless - Continuum Platinum when it hits GA. However, IF by some chance I want to revert, flashing a 2.2 firmware ROM and then restoring a nandroid backup should get everything but the kernel and modem. Is there any way to get those back? I haven't tried yet but apparently KIES only installs KB1 from what I read.

I honestly don't understand why you didn't just one-click back to JF6 and install CWM and flash from there. You over complicated it I saw your post in the old JI6 2.2 thread. None of that was needed.

When I told at&t about the gps issues on my cappy and you know what he told me? He said most smart phones even his htc aria has gps behavior which is normal. I told him about that the gps tend to jump around time to time and doesn't stay at one location. I don't believe what he says and can't issue an warranty exchange before the time is up.

I just exchanged a 1007 Captivate that was having all sorts of issues (gps, phantom search button click, random shutdown) via warranty. I received a 1008 batch phone.
First impressions were that GPS wasn't great, but phone signal was fantastic. Overall ran smooth. After figuring out how to install alternate recovery 3e, I backed up with CWM and one-click flashed to JF6 to do some test restores.
Once in eclair I decided to try restoring back to UCKB2. Whoops! Suddenly I didn't have button recovery or download modes, and was stuck in a boot loop (with recovery 2e). Not cool -- built a jig and flashed Andromeda3.
Now that I'm running voodoo lagfix ext4 again, I'm noticing some high CPU usage from kswapd0 that drains the battery. I don't think this was occurring in UCKB2 froyo and would like to flash back to do some comparison.
Is there some trick to restoring the UCKB2 ROM or should I just try again? (obviously after disabling the lagfix.) Not looking forward to another soft brick if I run into difficulty...

Where do you find the build number?

[Q] LCD BLACK BUT STILL FUNCTIONAL BLIND, MAJOR KEYS still lit up

First of all running stock Droid 3 Rooted Flashed to cricket
with all the fixin's, Bootstrap, CMW, ... etc....
:edit ... Now with safestrap.
_________________________________________
I noticed after taking my phone out of my pocket while trying to turn it on from normal off screen while on that it wouldn't show up the light still indicated it was working I can even turn off the phone.
Taking the battery out and back in semi fixed this but only to the extent where when the phone is turned on the moto logo doesn't appear but the droid eye does.
whence at the booted screen if I were to let it go black it has a chance to not stay on unless I RIGHT after it boots unlock it and keep it lit,
(but)
the main problem I noticed was it really only did this after lets say I was typing or doing anything with the qwerty board open and perhaps I let the screen turn off after a minute,
when I try to wake it up it stays black. EVERY TIME like most of the time,
it has to do with the keyboard being open when the screen goes to sleep.
WHAT IS WRONG *pulls hair out*
_________________________________
I can't say when but I've looked everywhere
tried uninstalling every app but the essentials,
then restoring to my first restore which was after my first initial root.
Tried factory reset,
Tried flashing back to stock,
yeah I think this counts for as much as I've gone insane looking for an answer for.
I have been told this sounded like a software issue so all I'd need to do is re install like I did when flashing back to stock THIS MORNING.
____________________________________________________
I need help to identify somehow if this IS or IS NOT a software/hardware problem.
and an answer to help me fix this would be nice as well thank you.
I know I am supposed to be brief but putting in all that into google and into every forum I have delved just isn't going to put it the way it needs to be said.
______________________________________________________
______________________________________________________
Edit:
Ok so far since no one has said anything I have also reinstalled my old newest state, still giving me crap.
Then just did the newest update 5.7 blah and still it's happening.
I hypothesize it might be the flex ribbon cable maybe (but it really might not) I read from another phone it might be a capacitor but it might not.
Whatever is wrong the phone still is able to at times now 40/60% of the time work properly and wake normal but then again not.
__________________________________________
Right as of now I have put isc to see if this helps .......... .... to be continued or helped.
I'm back, well ics installed fine after the second time made it boot loop over and over.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
I can receive calls now
but
no sms, mms, or internet.
(even though the network status settings are blank it's weird I can still receive calls, and send calls.)
since you can't restore the apn's with 3rd party I now have this NEW issue.
the phone goes unresponsive within cdma workshop and ##Program does not work.
I'd like some help in finding out now how to if it is possible yet to properly flash to cricket and or just change my apns and get into cdma as well as QPST.

PLEASE I NEED HELP thank you

Yeah, it does sound like a hardware problem. If nobody else can help you fix it, you'll need to reflash the latest OTA update (or revert to your safestrap nandroid), unroot it and restore all the system apps that you may have frozen/deleted, and hope that Verizon will replace it.

Thanks

Thanks for your input.
(verizon wouldn't replace it since I baught it from someone else (legit) and I don't have verizon.
UNLESS you think if I had the previous owner take it into the store could they replace it? what steps would they take to see if it was rooted?
_______________________
I never unrooted it when I did allll of this
Do you think rerooting is soumething that I should have done before doing this?
Or most likely is this a flex ribbon cable thing ....
I just tried the diagnostic (leave keyboard open then turn the screen off and on thing)
it came on at least 3 times normal then it didn't either right after the 3rd try or upon closing the qwerty board ...
also do you have an answer at all for the ics portion of my problem?
THANK YOU
___________________________________________________________
EDIT!!!!!!!! Actually realized I did reroot after the sbf ota flash .....
so all things aside yehs I also did that any other solutions inquiries ...
ANYONE ELSE PLEASE HELP!

Another path to try down is Motorola - depending on the age of the phone, I believe there's a warranty through them.

Sorry didn't read the part about you being on cricket. Maybe you could make friends with someone that has d3 on verizon have them activate it and take it in for you.

I believe there is another apn type tool that the Cricket Android tools are using for their specific settings. You may have to search XDA a bit to see if anything shows up for othere phones on Cricket.

my phone died for no reason

Had my note 3 about two months now. Running stock firmware.
I did root it with towel root . with no problems. I stated noticing my phone
rebooting out of nowhere. And pictures sometimes disappearing from camera roll and gallery. Where the pic should be was a blank space. I figured I had a hardware issue.
And was going to exchange it soon. But not soon enough. It went black and i have not got it to boot again. No lights come on when connected to charger or pc.sounds like
sudden death syndrome. I called att and they sent me a new phone.
my question is can I wipe it somehow before I send it back. Or will they even be able to tell it was rooted. I know knox was never triped..
thanks for any advice

You think the motherboard maybe fried or memory chip

I wouldn't worry about it. Rooting it won't cause a hardware failure.

Woudn't worry to much about it

i figured that would be easiest idea.. which ones are good right now?

WiFi and Blueothoot nor working

Hello giuys
Here I am again, getting every day more and more dissapointed in this phone
Two weeks ago (or when the update was released) I updated to 32.2.A.0.224 hoping to get a better batterylife because previous build was giving me 2h SoT and a lot of bugs like random reboots and overheat all the time
I downloaded an algerian version from XPerifirm (one of the first to was released) and everything was fine (actually there was no much improvement of wich I was looking for, but it was a little better) but one day I can't connect to home wifi, cheking some things neither bluethoot, I had to reboot several times to make it work. Last weekend I downloaded another version from xperifirm (an SA version) and flashed again w/o problem, but the issue persist (started today), actually is worst because today I can't connect at all nor wifi or bluethoot .... I tried Hotspot but can't turn it on too... The screenshots below shows what happens when try to turn on wifi, bt and hotspot
Any ideas how to fix this? I was thinking on simply root and get a custom rom, but almost every custom rom is rooted and there are some games I play a lot and can't be played with root (and root cloack and every tool doesn't work), so is not an option, I'm so frustrated with this phone, hope one of u guys can help me
thanks in advance

I guess you got the wrong modem on that rom, may be you wasn't supposed to flash it.

So, you are frustated with this phone because you flashed a version that was not supposed to be installed on your phone? You mixed up your phone, not the phone itself. You are complaining about SOT and overheating without mentioning how you use your phone. Well, i guess, if you can flass another version rom in your phone, i think you have done more than this..!
Anyway, i hope someone expert can help you. But you have to admit that maybe it is your fault and not accuse the phone

It just was an expression, but as a note, the phone is unusable since the beginning, every update mess one more thing, is the crapiest phone I ever had xD, two months later I bought a real flagship phone, but need this phone working for a not advanced user (that doesn't know or have the time to flash and install all apps over and over again), and every rom installed brings problems that make the phone useless as your post[\s], sometimes battery of 5h in standby, sometimes overheat all the time, sometimes random reboots...
Also genius, actually this phone came with the first customization I flashed, but if u didn't know, all customizations are the same, just came with some apps and market restrictions (plus carrier apps/ settings in carrier specifics) so there's no "version that was not supposed to be installed in your phone" (u can even flash between variants in the same model as long as is a single-sim variant), go home and learn something before u comment so useless things, I understand why there are so low population lately in xda, remember when ppl actually came to help QQ
Anyways, this issue was there since before in some devices (Z3+ obviously) in old updates, I was trying to get some info with that ppl to see if there's a way to solve it, but due limitations at not rooted phones I think there's no way...
Another thing, in the second last update, there's a thread about some issues bootloader/security-related if u updated via OTA, there's a problem if I try to flash am older version after that OTA was installed? because I think the phone was a little more stable before that

Hi, I recently bought this phone and found out the cell reception has some issue and due to that phone keeps on searching network and draining my battery.
I didn't start cursing sony or this phone because I knew there is some issue with the radio and it needs to be replaced and I went to service center and they told me that motherboard needs to be changed.
It's been 1 week still I am waiting but with the new motherboard I think things will be fine.
So why don't you visit sony service center and try to fix things instead of blaming them.

Don't misunderstand me, I love Sony phones and used it since W300-SE years, this phone have issues, sad is, service center actually doesn't give service if u don't buy the phone with the carrier they are (it seems the carrier pay to have service of almost all brands), and they sell phones (specially flagships) overpriced (like 150usd more) so I don't buy with them, neither use that carrier, so is a little hard
