So I've been tinkering around with Odin and flashing to the many firmwares floating around- the latest is the JFM6 i9000 firmware.. Which also included flashing the CSC and kernel.. My question is, since I flashed the csc and kernel, how do I flash back to the stock JF6 rom that came with the...

So 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...

So I'm on my #3 Captivate now.. and I need to get some other people's experience on these items. First off, my #1 Captivate would get hot while on voicecall (lets say 15min), the #2 phone would NOT get hot even after a 30min call. The #2 phone also had the longest lasting battery of the 3 as...

My battery was approaching 0% last night at 10:30PM - and to avoid any late night calls, I turned it off and plugged in the charger. At 11PM, the charge status showed about 50% charged already? I fell asleep before checking again, but to me it sounds like there is something wrong with the...

Anyone notice there isn't an icon on the top showing an SD card? On my Eternity phone there would be an SD symbol on the top indicating the phone recognized the card was in place - however, on the Captivate, I do not see the icon. On page 15 of the manual, it shows the icons and their...

Is there a way to view the home screens/apps in landscape? Do I have to install a theme for this?

Anyone else notice all of the default startup apps when the phone is booted? Is this to help speed up the launch of the app? Is there a way to disable the startup apps? I'm using Advanced task killer and when the phone is first booted, there is about 10 apps running on startup - and only...
