samsung captivate

I want to update my galaxy s sgh-1897. it is rooted and running 2.2. how do I go about this and do I have to go to gingerbread first then ICS or straight to ICS and where do I get it I tried the samsung site but no luck. Thanks for any help

I have a problem and I don't know how to fix it. I had to do a complete wipe of my phone and when I hooked it up to the KIES software it upgraded my firmware to the following. Version 2.3.3 Kernal 2.6.35.7-I896UXKH2-CL296008 se.infra@SEP-50 #2 Build number GINGERBREAD.UXKH2 Now I...

I was running Myui Euphoria (great ROM, by the way) on Captivate, and I went from 3g to H, great signal- anywhere but home. When I got home, I lost ATT signal, only had WiFi. At work, bingo, 4 bars H appears. Home, 1 bar, then an "x". So, yesterday, I used Odin and reverted back to factory...

My Samsung Captivate loves the silent mode and constantly activates itself. Am looking for a way to totally disable Silent Mode.

I am currently running CM7 on my captivate with clockworkmod. The power button stopped working several months ago. I was able to work around it by setting the power keys to wake up the phone, and by installing Virtual Button Bar. However, I haven't been able to do anything in recovery mode since...

Hi. My phone was working fine yesterday, but last night things started getting weird. Just about every one of my applications would force close on launch, so I just restarted my phone. It worked fine for a while but the same thing happened again and then I turned it off. I tried restarting it...

A member asked for a little hand-holding with rooting so we are bringing it to a new thread. Here's the beginning: Feel free to chime in or follow along.

I downloaded Temple Run Brave on my Samsung Captivate - Google Play says my phone is compatible, but it won't download. Says my phone doesn't have enough room, but I have plenty of memory on it - I've deleted a lot of my apps and it still won't load. Is there something else I need to do...

have fun toying around with these. Maybe someone can figure out the bluetooth issue with A2DP on high frequencies and why it sounds like garbage. Samsung Galaxy S Secret Codes and their meaning

I just got a new bluetooth for handsfree car talking, but when I go to set it up with my Captivate, it doesn't show up when I scan devices. The only thing that shows up is my husband's MacBook. How do I get the phone to recognize my device?

My Cappy is being replaced with a Galaxy S III as of tomorrow. I can't say that I will miss my Cappy... If it the new one runs anything like my Asus TF300 tablet, I will be very satisfied. I will be over on the SG3 forum...

Hey everyone, I know this phone is getting a little long in the tooth, but I still need it so I am trying to keep it going. About 6 months ago, I found this site: Samsung Captivate 2.3.5 (Gingerbread) and Freezes - AT&T Community Support which told me how to get into LBSTestMode to change my...

when hitting the power putton to turn the phone off, it no longer does so. and then a few minutes later it will show the screen to turn off the phone or use silent mode or flight mode. then when i hit the power button to turn it back on. nothing happens. i have to plug in the charger to get it...

I admit I don't check this forum but about every three or four weeks on average but it seems the last time I was here this forum was a lot more active. There were a couple of threads about ICS and the Captivate not getting it. Now nothing. Everybody upgrading to new phones?

So, Here it goes... Two days ago I stopped receiving incoming text messages for no apparent reason. I've pulled the battery, pulled the sim.. I'm on ATT, so I called them.. they told me to update the OS with Kies Manager, however Kies Manager does not support the Captivate.. They checked the...

I have the Samsung Galaxy S or Captivate. I heard it called both. Anyways, I'm have a few problems with it. Recently my lock button has just stopped working. It's not like it was pressed down to far, i can still click it with ease, but it doesn't lock/unlock my phone. I've heard of an app I can...

So I thought I'd give one of these custom ROMs try. Serendipity looked nice, and I had already rooted my phone so I thought, why not? I tried following this guide: http://androidforums.com/captivate-support-troubleshooting/495585-my-experience-loading-serendipity-7-my-captivate.html It went...

Hi. This happens when I'm typing a text message, typing into a search box, or doing anything while typing on the Captivate. The screen randomly goes to the main menu. The text is preserved, so when I click on the app, the text is still there, but it's very frustrating. I'm currently running the...

Forgive me if this is a dumb thread. I have MyUI Euphoria, QQ Launcher, or the stock launcher. Trying to install MIUI themes, but for the life of me, there is no theme manager. I d/l the themes onto the SD card "miui/theme". But have not figured out a way to apply it/them. Driving me up a wall...

I have a samsung captivate model SGH-I897. But I have ATT so they call it the Galaxy S. So Kies mini finally got the 2.3.5 Gingerbread update, and I went ahead and used it to update from 2.2 Froyo. Immediately afterwards, my wifi ceases to function entirely. I'm sure many others have had the...

I'm having trouble trying to fix my sister's captivate. First off, let me tell you all details before I tell you the problem. A couple of months ago my sister got a used phone, samsung captivate, from her friend and well she was using it and everything was well until about a month ago she...
