Hey there,
I haven't got my Samsung i897 Captivate yet (I live in the Netherlands and bought 1 via eBay from the USA) , but I'm already looking things up like how to get froyo 2.2 and disabling AT&T etc.
I know the Dutch(Nederlands) language isn't available as OS language , but I was wondering if I can still install this via the ANDROID Market or with a tweak? I know the Galaxy i9000 and the Galaxy i9010 both have the Dutch language as operating system...
Thanks in advantage!
I also need to add support for my language to a Captivate I bought in the US, but I'm not sure how. I'm fine with menus in english, what I really need is the voice recognition and swype in my language. I'm aware there is a Samsung Galaxy S model designed for my country and it has these features, but I have no idea how or where to get them to my Cappy.
What country are you from if I may ask? Some keybpard lamguafes can be downloaded from the Android Market.
Well there's maybe some hope, the i9010 Armani fw has more languages and they're currently porting it to the captivate...
I'm from Brazil (brazilian portuguese), so the actual qwerty keyboard layout is not a problem for me (though I'll need a way to write ç à á ã é ó ô etc). As long as I'm aware, the keyboard layout is not a problem for Dutch too. Are you looking to have the menus translated, or are your main concerns swype and voice search?
I haven't got problems with anything. I understand everything in English, but I'm Dutch and I want my phone in Dutch. I want the full device in Dutch(inc. swype, menus voice etc.), but the first priority to me is the menus.
So, anyone aware how to put more languages on Android? I've searched Android Market and haven't found any language pack.

Really, I just searched "language pack" (without quotes) and found:
Russian
Swiss
Arabic
Hebrew
etc.....
Edit: I they are for keyboards, my bad.
I also live in the netherlands! Im running perception 10 now and its in dutch!! My kernel is firebird 2 and my modem is kp1 from the i9000. The standard samsung keypad has dutch preinstalled and you can get swype from other site ;3 hope this helps!

@Snaai
Thank you.
What carrier do you have? I'm planning to get Vodafone NL. Is your 3g internet working here?
Hmm Im getting the Froyo from the briefmobile website for my captivate I think(seems most stable and swift)
morelocale 2 is a good app for changing os language. Japanese is working nicely on my cappy, but not everything is translated
Im using it with vodafone. I even get hspa upload speeds!! Although when you flashed the rom you'll have to set band selection on automatic (sgstools --> secret codes --> band selection).
Perception with the firebird 2 kernel features voodoo sound, a really nice and must have app.
Kp1 modem works amazing here!! Good reception and without the simcard problem. Will post more info..

Here I am again!
The at&t captivate does have the bands for vodafone.
The modem Kp1 is really fast, and uses less battery.
For the kernel you could choose firebird 2. It's fast and supports voodoo lagfix and sound (and possibly color and some other improvements too). You will have to unlock the phone for it to read your vodafone simcard. (write your imei and unlock nummer down and protect it with your life it could be usefull in the future, and if you flash the leaked rom than Perception it will be harder to unlock your phone).
And really.. Use a lagfix! It makes the phone so incredibly fast.
I used one click lagfix and voodoo lagfix and must say that voodoo really tends to amaze me!
The thing you should check before flashing roms is if you have the 3 button recovery menu and you must check your product number (mine is 1006).
Oh and the last thing I got to say, use a gps fix. The gps is terrible at first but after some tweaking it'll work great!

Swype_1.60.36.8214_WVGA.apk
That's the swype version I'm using. I'm also Dutch and brought a captivate here and this swype version with many languages (including Dutch) is working like a charm.

Nederlanders, verenig u !
Ik snap echt geen drol van al die roms, flashes e.d. ik krijg hoogstwaarschijnlijk m'n Captivate volgende week, dus zou wat meer willen weten. Ik vraag daarom ook vriendelijk om de hulp van een van jullie Nederlanders, stuur me een private message en dan kunnen we misschien verder praten via MSN , wel zo makkelijk.
Thanks in advantage
Can't send you private message four some reason... You probably turned it off in the settings. Anyway I haven't flashed a rom yet, most stuff I've done is pretty basic.
I actually have a question, I need a shortcut to switch between swype in dutch and english, anyone have any ideas?

There is a letter in the up legt side of the keyboard that has two initials. EN or NL or something.
Long press that key and tada! A selection menu pops up.

For speach language go to settings-->speach input and output-->settings speach recognition-->language. From here on choose your prefered language.

Sorry, I can't find option "speech input and output" on my "settings" menu. Closest match I could find was text-to-speech, but this is related to the way the phone generates voice from text, not the opposite (afaik). Can you please provide more detail?
The user OrtizFerrari from HTCMania created a one petition on Change.org asking us to sign this petition .. Do we you help?

I can't say I ever noticed delayed notifications, but then again I don't do anything that requires instant notification really...
Nothing against the petition, but I don't consider this a major issue at all (it should still be fixed nonetheless). For a nice example of a major issue however, how about inevitable surfaceflinger memory leaks causing reboots on Nexus 10s?

Its not just notifications. Try downloading something and turn your screen off. The download either pauses or becomes awfully slow after sometime. The WiFi also sleeps when the phone sleeps. A custom kernel with the experimental WiFi drivers fixes this.

Can't even say I noticed this either on my Nexus 4. Notice it greatly on my Nexus 10 however, and I just factory restored both devices (downloaded all my apps in like 10 minutes on my slow DSL connection on my N4, screen timeout at 1 minute; still downloading the same apps on my N10 an hour later also with the same screen timeout; heck sometimes it wasn't even downloading anything until I woke it...)
It will be fixed in 4.3. I don't think we need a Petition for it at this point.

It's not Google's fault exactly. The driver is supplied by Qualcomm. Qualcomm has recently fixed this issues and the fix should be available in the next android update.

Yesterday I had to order replacement that I spoiled the Nexus, and asked, they said it was fixed and only had to send the update .. I also asked about Android 4.3, and they said they could not tell me anything .. but then I said .. "Soon ..".

Wow.. I just switched to a Nexus 4 couple days ago and was puzzled by how I was missing notifications from Google Hangouts (the new google talk app).
I'm a little surprised I didn't read about this earlier.. I've been browsing this forum every so often for a couple months just to keep up, in the hopes of eventually getting the Nexus4. Obviously, it must not affect everyone, but I'm just unlucky.
Thanks david! Just signed!
Hi,
I love this tablet but I hate the home physical button from Samsung[emoji16] .
Do you know any app that allows to have on screen buttons like on other Android devices?
Thanks.
Envoyé de mon Nexus 9 en utilisant Tapatalk
You need root.
You can edit the build.prop to show the onscreen keys, add the line below:
qemu.hw.mainkeys=0
or if you install xposed there is a good app called Ultimate dynamic navbar.
Without root there are various apps that can give similar onscreen keys.

Great info. I'm going to be rooting soon so I have this question - where onscreen will the buttons show / how large an area? Thanks!
Have you tried the Assistant Menu? No need for root, just turn it on.

I tried back button app. Nice. You can place your on screen buttons anywhere.
But I can't place them Under the dock so when I use some applications or even the keyboard these buttons are on the keyboard[emoji35] ...

To turn ON the built in function... Assistant Menu...
Go to... the system settings
then tap... Accessibility
Tap... Dexterity and Interaction
Tap... Assistant Menu and turn it ON
This would show a small button which you can place anywhere on the screen with multiple functions.

If I could have soft buttons just under the dock (as in other Android devices except Samsung) it would be great! @ashyx, is it possible?

Ok it was just to be sure, because all I have tested, non rooted, allows me to install what I want (home button, back and recent app), BUT not below the dock ..
I mean if I use for example the keyboard the on screen keys are ON the keyboard, very annoying.
Maybe it's only with root that I can have a real navbar...

Without entering in details, (I don't care void warranty), is it usually easy to root, install twrp, etc....Or there is some restrictions I should know with Samsung devices?

Euh... Samsung is not Motorola or HTC! With download mode and Odin, you can flash all what you want and it's easy.
If you have a french version (i think), your bootloader is unlock. Only some providers lock their BL (Verizon, AT&T...).
And, if you're not sure there is a video here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/tab-s2/general/video-guide-root-samsung-galaxy-tab-s2-t3224788
It's for 5.0.2, probably your rom version.

Hum,
Maybe my eyes are not good enough but I didn't see these bandings on my unit.
But I noticed much more the bad calibration and over saturation of the colours on adaptive mode, photo mode ...(I am a photographer). Basic mode is the best but not perfect: the whites are a bit grey, and the "auto" contrast bothers me on some of my pics...
The nexus 9 was better for reality display, for a photographer.
But on the other points this tablet is perfect.
Any calibration tool, kernel, app exist for Samsung amoled screens guys? [emoji102]

Hi,
On my new 10Pro the proximity sensor doesn't really work.
99% of time it doesn't work.
On dailer and also on whatsapp voice message

For me work fine but i know is a comon bug/problem in some xiaomi devices
This doesn't exist on redmi note 10 pro
Hello everyone.
I have my phone for about 5 days now, and i have the same problem.
It would be nice to see Xiaomi fix this soon with an update .
Best regards,
Luís Coelho.
Hello, the "bug" could be solved by software update? Or the bug is a hardware problem?
It seems that Redmi Note 10 Pro hasn't proximity sensor. Has a IA that knows when display has to be powered off.
Youtube
In my case I have been able to verify that the sensor works when the mobile is placed vertically, simulating that it has been placed near the ear as if it were on a call.
With WhatsApp/Telegram audio it have the same behaviour.
I just had a rom update to version Miui Global 12.0.10.0 Stable, and for now it seems that everything is working ok. But i haven't done enough testing to say for sure that this was it. Will see how it goes, bt for now, i still keep my good expectations .
PS- Thanks josedo90 for the youtube video. Interesting to know.

Most of the things I have been reading are complaints... I am staying on A11 for now.
Try Samsung band selection.
My experience with One UI 4 has been good. Some lags but seems to have been fixed by January update.
Some G998B has been having issues from what I've read but nothing major on the G9980.
I have had no issues whatsoever. Everything works.

Same here. Everything good to go.
I made the switch when I took the phone out of the box however, so I've no experience with 11. Going to flash it later today to see if I can get even more performance out of it.
As someone who just came from the Pixel 6 Pro to the S21 Ultra, I can confidently say Samsung did a better job of rolling out 12 than Google did.
No bugs other than a blank screen if I exit Netflix using Nova launcher.
Other than that it's been totally smooth and works very well.
If the other poster can't access the Phone Information Menu with stock phone app, use the Google phone/dialer app and it works.
