Yes, I'm sure that I have it on vibrate and not silent. When I first thought I noticed the problem, I realized that I actually did have it on silent. It's been on vibrate since 8AM.

Go into settings in the Messaging app. Scroll to the bottom and click on "Vibrate", make sure "always" is checked (not sure if "silent" includes vibrate).

I have clicked the new message icon in the left corner but how do I bring up contacts from within the messaging app?

Just start typing the persons name in the "To" field. After the first two letters it should suggest contacts (works just like the search function).

Message vibrating is working correctly now. Seems I had to change it to "always vibrate" and then turn it off and reboot. Now it seems to mirror the global vibrate/silent/ring setting.

just curious how many of you have tried both and which one seems to be more stable and working better? I had a hell of a time get the THS release on my other cappy..which i no longer have access to so didn't get to test it for long..but the SGSICS installed easy on my phone and been using it for a few weeks now..pretty damn good..some minor stuff thus far..but curious about THS too..

After reading some of the reviews and caveats about flashing the Captivate to run ICS, I have a couple of questions for those of you who've done it:

1) What happens to the capacitive touch buttons at the bottom of the phone? Do they still function or are they disabled in favor of the virtual buttons on the screen?

2) Have you noticed many of your apps failing to launch or run properly under ICS?

I've been thinking about rooting my phone for some time, mostly just to get rid of the AT&T bloatware, and was wondering if you had to first root Gingerbread, then upgrade to Honeycomb, then go to ICS, or if you could go straight to ICS. I want to make sure I don't brick my phone to the point where I have to go crawling back to AT&T.

1) They all work. I never had any issue with my buttons when flashing different roms.

2) Yes, its more a app issue then a ICS issue. Some apps don't handle correctly under 4.0 since they were made for 2.3-.

Yes you will need to root first. Honeycomb is only for tablets, you can go straight to ICS from Gingerbread.

1) The TeamHacksung ICS ROM doesn't even have the virtual buttons. All of the capacitive buttons, including menu, still function the way you would expect. I can't say for sure if this is the case with all ICS ROMs for Captivate.
3)It's actually kind of hard to perma brick the Captivate. As long you can get into download mode (the "jig" method is supposedly guaranteed) you can flash back to stock. I don't know that ATT would do anything if they know you'd rooted the phone (never mind tried to flash it, or being out of warranty).
