This has the best battery life yet on any stock rom or cog i have tried. It is utterly sipping the battery compared to stock and 2.4.1. It is very stable and quick. It also picks up location on weather/time app ultra fast and accurate.

View 1 Replies View RelatedSo after flashing to the JH2 firmware, I noticed that the battery is reaching high temperatures during voice calls - Before the firmware flash, the phone would not get above 100 degrees during a voice call. After 8 minutes on a voice call, the phone is reaching upwards of 110 degrees.

View 14 Replies View RelatedA server error has occurred. This is after I flashed a custom ROM. DO NOT point me to SDX because they have not provided me with any solutions to it. DO NOT move this to the Root sub-forum because it's hardly active.
I just need someone somewhere to tell me how to fix this because apparently Moment Root developers are too sad to find a fix.
I've currently got a Bell Samsung I7500, I flashed I7500XEJC6 onto it with Odin (using this site http://mauweb.net/3.0/en/technology/17-android/99-icon-androidsamsung-galaxy-i7500-upgrade-1634.html) and was able to get it from being in some foreign language into english again.
But now it loads up with SIM Network Unlock PIN, when I have a Bell Sim card in. I can either enter the pin, or dismiss the message.
If I dismiss it won't read the SIM card and therefore has no signal. I was able to get the WIFI to work, and got into the marketplace. I had already downloaded Drakaz's updating software, but there was problems with that before I flashed the Baseband. I took a picture of the problem with the Galoxo system running (I went back to it to see if that would help) for reference.
Now I can't seem to find any way to get around this. I asked Bell if they could give me a code to lock it to to their Network. When I called them they tried numerous codes but none worked. They said after it loaded without the SIM card in without that message, that I needed a new SIM card. A new SIM card however didn't work. Same message.
I tried getting a company online to get me an unlock code, but their answer was that "There are so many mobile out there sometimes the firmware on certain versions mean I can't generate the code. Your only option may be your network operator or a local shop who can unlock via a cable."

I am a NOOB and don't really know how I got Baked Snack. It's really a pretty sweet ROM but I'd like to go back to stock soon so that I can get the OTA Froyo update when it is officially released.

View 4 Replies View RelatedI got AT&T Samsung Captivate i897 (2.1 Eclair). I unlocked and rooted my phone. I was using simple free phone earlier which doesn't require data plan but after two weeks I bought samsung captivate, AT&T added $25 data plan. I got my phone from AT&T store where my friend works so he took my data plan out of the plan for now but he said they will find out and add into your plan again. Also, He said that they recognize by your IMEI number. My question is: Is there anyway I can change my IMEI number? I was thinking to use my simple free Nokia phone's IMEI number and use it for Samsung Captivate so AT&T thinks that I am using Nokia phone.

It happens at the top of the screen just to the right below the battery. It's a quick yellow glow then it disappears until my phone is locked then unlocked again. One of the updates had to do with my weather widget [Weather & toggle]. Anyone seen or heard of this?

Now I have an AT&T captivate and wonder whether GPS or other apps will work. Does GPS require a data plan to work? If so I'll have to figure out whetted I can add this to my T-D1 plan. This will also answer my question about whether using the Captivate for navigation in the US needs a data plan to work.

View 2 Replies View RelatedNoticed since I work in a rather quiet environment. During office hours I need to keep it on vibrate mode. When the phone vibrates during a call, it causes a severe rattling noise when the phone is in my hands or if the bottom is not resting against a hard object. Removing the battery compartment cover and repeat, and the rattle is non existent. With the battery cover on, the rattle can be diminished by pressing firmly on the top section of the cover.

Is something wrong with just the app or phone? Has anyone experienced this?
I am having an issue with my M3U playlists.
I use the default Samsung media player, Isyncr and Itunes. Although I have also used the Doubletwist Player (not the desktop software) and had the same issue, I just prefer the Samsung default player mainly because of the lock screen app.
Here is the issue.
First, I sync my playlists with Itunes using Isyncr, all of the songs come over great, art and tags, everything is perfect. It also creates M3U playlists on my phone. I double checked that everything is there.
Then when I unmount, media scanner scans my SD card (which takes way longer than it should) and it deletes all of my playlists. Now a little research on XDA forums tells me that this is because anytime the media scanner scans a playlist and can't find all of the songs from that playlist, it assumes it is an old playlist and deletes it. The problem is that when I look through the M3U files, every song referenced in the list is on the card...they are all there, yet it keeps deleting them.
Does anyone know of a solution to make it stop deleting my playlists?
Umm first time I tried hooking my Captivate up to my computer, and It says "device driver software unsuccessfully installed..
