Hello - I just updated my AT&T Note 4 to 5.1.1, and I am having several issues. The most serious issue involves my S-View case. Typically, I could see notification icons in my status bar in the S-View window (ie: if I had an unread sms, I would see the messenger icon in the status bar both in...

Hi All, I just upgraded my Captivate from stock 2.1 to CM 7.1.0 (Captivate version). Everything has been great, except for one problem - I get little to no reception in most places. The phone will frequently show "No Service" or "Emergency Calls Only". When I do get reception, it is only H or...

Hey all, I am having trouble adding my work gmail account to my gmail app. I go through the process, enter my email address and password, but I always get a connection timeout. I have tried with a different account that belongs to a coworker, and got the same result. Though the account...

Hi, I am having trouble mounting my Captivate via USB. It is not recognized as a drive in Windows Explorer. I am telling it to mount, putting it in the right mode, but nothing is showing up. I have tried to install both the Captivate and the Galaxy S drivers found on this forum, but neither...

Hey all, Cognition 3.0 dropped this morning. Has anyone tried it out yet? I haven't flashed a ROM yet, but if this gets positive feedback, I am going to start with this one.

Hey all, Slowly but surely, my Cappy is becoming the super-device that I want it to be. With tethering covered (thanks once again to this great forum and it's users), it's time to turn to remote desktop. So I ask you - what is the best remote desktop app out there? I can only imagine the...

Hey all, I have been messing around with the camera on the Captivate, and was wondering if anyone had any advice on ways to make the image quality better. I'll just go ahead and say it - I am not pleased with the camera quality on the Captivate thus far. Compared to the iPhone 4, the...

Hey all, Found this on Reddit yesterday - a Gingerbread keyboard APK. You can install it without root, but it needs to be sideloaded. I got it up and running. The keyboard itself is awesome - looks good, has a good autotext feature, fast and accurate, etc. I really like the row of symbols on...

Hey all, I tried De-Crippling my Captivate based on the directions in the capfaq, and the file in this thread, but I am still getting the default error message when trying to install apps from an APK file - "For Security, your phone is set to block installation of applications not sourced in...

Hey all, I really like using voice to text for SMS text entry (the little microphone logo next to the space bar), but sometimes I get a message that says "Couldn't Connect", and it does not allow me to use the feature. Is this a common occurrence? It has only happened to me once, but I am...

Preemptive Edit: The cause of my problem IS NOT the sliding door. I am opening the door completely (feeling the "click") before attempting to connect the cable. Hey all, I just wanted to get some other people's opinions on this, as it isn't one of the flaws that is usually brought up when...

Hey all, I am having some trouble using my custom mp3 ringtones for txt messages. I would like to use a custom tone for txt messages, but not for the other notifications. Is there a way to selectively set the tone like that? Thanks!

Hey all, The first couple of times I connected my new Captivate to my PC via USB, it worked fine. I was given the notification to mount and view my files, and I was able to access everything. This morning, I plugged my phone in, and told it to mount in the notifications, but it did not appear...

Hey all, I am brand new to the Android world (replaced my lost iPhone4 with the sexy looking Captivate), and was wondering how to remove items from the default dock on the home screen. I use Gmail instead of the Mail app, so I would like to remove the Mail app and put Gmail there instead...
