Official OTA Update Discussion

Who put and end to wait? The 24 hour waiting period is a feature of the Captivate's software only...nothing on AT&Ts end. :D

I'm sure you'll get the push sooner or later, but if not, just move your date forward a year and two days to try again...lol.

Yeah, you're probably right since the response is so quick. But I I tried updating a couple of times, then got an "unable to connect" then was told I need to wait a week.
 
Complete Stock was warranty exchange 2 weeks ago. Battery was almost full.
Update started got to almost 50 % and then the phone went black. No warning, just like the screen timed out. I waited a few minutes and nothing. Waited a few more minutes still nothing. Tried turning it on, took out battery, put back in, absolutely nothing. Tried plugging in phone just in case.
Anyone else with this issue or am I just so very special? Thought I would check here real quick before calling AT&T. I spent enough time with all them before they finally warrantied out my phone.

[Just select automatic under date and time, then change it again after it resets to the network values...]

Tried it. No dice.

hmm... reboot and try again.

at which point was the no dice, the selecting "automatic" or changing it again?
a reboot should reset the settings cache and let you try again

Time before you can make a new request: 8879 hours

I may have advanced my date by a year and a day by accident...

Any suggestions? Please???



and yes, I feel like a moron...

Do you have Fancy Widget... or some other widget that is updating your date/time?
 
Odin (a rom-pushing program for the Galaxy S phones) could probably fix it, check out xda (forums.xda-developers.com) and find the Captivate section and the Captivate Development section for more advanced info, but there was a thread there from people who did the same thing flashing roms after rooting. They should be able to help.
Or try AT&T...

Tried the reboot. Still he same.

No widgets or apps installed that update time.

Hmm... this is getting tricky and intriguing... does it let you select "Automatic" at all (even if grayed out)? if so, there's hope. If not we'll have to figure out what exactly happened...

I'm noticing that now, even when I uncheck "Automatic" update of time/date values. It still is updating automatically.

It will, until you cross time-zones and it stays at the one you were at. It is like an old computer's system time clock before the internet, it just keeps time itself beginning with the last known date

Yeah, I was able to try one more time (by setting ahead more than a year), but now, even if I manually set the date, it automatically reverts back. I tried checking and unchecking automatic date/time, then a manual change, but it still did not work.

hmm.. then how were we able to previously set the date/time and hold those manual settings?

AH! try leaving it on "automatic" for like 10-20 minutes, make sure it has had time to ping the towers and process it. If it still doesn't revert back after a good 10-20 minutes, then the problem will be tricky but should still be solvable. Try letting it talk first though

EDIT: Mine took like 5 minutes and a reboot to revert back after I changed it to get the update

Because you are able to switch between beginning to use only the system clock (which is what you checked) beginning right then, or "automatic" which sets the system clock to be reliant upon the network values.
 
Can you check for updates on wifi? Im in Tennessee right now on a partner network with edge working once in awhile.
 
Update to my last post.

Phone is rooted, bloatware removed, no lag fixes applied.
Update ran, downloaded, rebooted and than said no update applied.

Now Im showing:

Firmware version
2.1-update 1

Baseband version
I897UCJH7

Kernal Version
2.6.29
jataek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number
Eclair


Here is what a friends unrooted shows after the update states it was successful

Firmware version
2.1-update 1

Baseband version
I897UCJH7

Kernal Version
2.6.29
jataek.lee@sep-11 #2

Build number
Eclair.UCJH7


So mine ran and said it did not work, my friends ran and said it worked and the only difference is the Build number...mine just says Eclair, theirs says Eclair.UCJH7.

I can now see more than 8 satellites so Im thinking that the update actually worked. I read somewhere that the original was limited to only being able to see 8 satellites.
 
Is it possible to download the update over WiFi or it only downloads over the network?

If it is a big download, I would prefer to wait until I get back home (no open WiFi in the office) to download and update.
 
Same thing happened to me although my download paused. When I went to resume update, phone restarted, said update failed and now it won't turn on. Won't even show it charging when the phone is off....
 
reset the date back to normal.

then rename /dbdata/databases/wssdmdatabase.db

reboot

see if that works - this *should* also work in resetting your chance to check for an update without changing the date
