problems with wifi and marketplace. - Captivate General

hey guys i havent had any problems with this phone until today, and it seems like these have both started happening at the same time..
but when i turn wifi on, it connects and then a few seconds later disconnects. and when i try to go to the marketplace it says server unavailable, please try again.
also i sometimes i cannot find webpages on the browser. any ideas whats up with this?

hey guys, do any of you have a copy of the original setup.db file?
I'm pretty sure that is what is wrong with my phone..
when i was messing with mine, i messed up and changed the wrong thing with out noticing it before replacing it and now i can not access the marketplace or use wifi..
so if anyone has that file i can use i would really appreciate it.

Do you have an application named Navizon?
If so delete it.
I don't think i have the original setup.db?
Explain? I have no idea what you're talking about I'm pretty noobie about android.

My Wifi Is Dead!!

Hello all I really hope someone here can help me. I really like the touch style 10 button comm manager but for whatever reason, my WIFI never worked when I had this installed so I found a download that changed the registry for WLAN under Comm Manager that was supposed to fix the wifi problem but instead, it completely killed my WIFI. I have uninstalled and reinstalled like 3 different Comm Managers and my WIFI will still not turn on.
Here is an attached copy of the WLAN reg that I installed. If someone with working WIFI could please tell me what this registry's string is supposed to be in order to have working WIFI that would be incredible.
Please help, I'm Desperate. I use my WIFI at work.
Thanks in advance, Dan.
Tried flashing new rom?
new rom?
try this rom: ICTDifrentie ROM
Greats Antonius
I'm not interested in trying a new rom. I actually just flashed back to WM5 because I like the performance and the lack of bugs. I am the one that screwed up my WIFI but I want to fix it without hard-resetting since I don't want to have to reinstall all of my 3rd party software again... It takes forever...
All I'm looking for is the correct string for the registry that I attached.
Thanks.

My apologies, my computer was acting up and I attached the file but it must not have actually attached. It should be there now. Thank you for helping me.
I can't find something similar in my registry. Wm6 registry is different than wm5 one. Can you post both the 10 button comm manager cab and the cab with the registry modification? I'll work on it tomorrow morning, now i'm going to sleep.
bye
Here are the attachments you requested. I do not have a cab for the comm manager with the registry tweak though, it was just a registry that was supposed to fix the WIFI problem with the 10 button Touch comm manager.
I will attach everything I have below for you to look through.
EDIT:: Nevermind. My impatience caused me to go against what I originally wanted and I hard reset and just reinstalled everything... I hate doing that though. I have so much on my phone that it kills me to have to go through and reinstall everything.
Did anyone else read that headline as "My WIFE is DEAD!!!!"?
Thats pretty funny... I don't have a wife but that would be pretty sh**ty if I posted that here if that were the case... LOL
hehehe funny **** , cause i have 22 inch screen , and the fonts are kind of small ... anyway i'm glad your wife is alive

Drocap folder name problem

for some reason i cannot change the folder name destination in drocap. i talked to the dev and he said something about my /data partition being corrupt. any ideas how to fix this? ive hard reset like a day ago and it still doesnt work. can somebody maybe test this setting and see if it works?
im running cyanogenmod 7 nightly#24 droid incredible
Did you or anybody figure this out?
I'm having the same issue.
I can change it but it doesn't stick.
cLK, CM7 on HD2 if it matters.
i had a convo with the dev and he said it should be working. tried a couple things he suggested, but still no go. he said something has to be currupt. data something.
Odd that the issue wouldn't manifest elsewhere if corruption is the problem.
Guess I'll check the market and see what other apps do screen caps.
Appreciate the reply.

[Q] uaing root explorer..trying to change default gmail acc

So before I start, I just want to say that I can't do a factory restore because at the moment in in India studying and getting another unlock code would take too long and isn't advisable I think. also, one night my inspire was charging and the whole night the air conditioner was dripping water on the screen..all night, so I'm pretty sure the digitizer is broken because the startup goes fine and the screen still works but when it come to unlocking the screen I can't..the phone doesn't reasons to any of my touch. Luckily my sister wanted an infuse, got that and I just got her phone the inspire. However here is where the gmail problem plays. In short I want to get all my stuff from old inspire to nrw.
Anyway I've read threads that claim that changing the gmail account is possible, I've tried everything before finally downloading root explorer. For some reason market is having a hard time connecting but that might just be for the moment,hopefully. Anyway I downloaded rootexplorer through Megaupload online, still works ap its all good I presume.
Anyway, after downloading I read that I must go through data to system then find accounts.db of which I must delete it and then reboot order for gmail to ask for email again.
Unfortunately, everytime I go to the root I go under data..nothing is there. I search up accounts.db and it searches and searches but stops or idles at say/class/msm_vidc_enc/msm_vidc_enc. Question is why can't I fins it? What now
So ya, dunno what to do and stuff. All help much appreciated
couldn't you just log out of the current Gmail account in the accounts and sync menu, then log in with the desired account?

The only problem I would think then is not being able to unsync the original and replacing that with my gmail acc ap it could hopefully get all stuff I've lost from my broken digitizer phone.
Sorry couldn't fins the edit button.... anyway I tried the logging out thobg like you suffered however it didn't work out..can't really fins a way to do it. Also says the sync OS having problematic ap it is temporarily down. Root explorer still searching through thw msm vidc file..but isn't frozen because the searching wheel is still going found and round.

The hack kit carrier unlocks your device so no need for an unlock code. Best bet is to either factory reset and or since you've done the hack kit flash a new rom.

Thanks for the answer and especially the pm. I'm looking forawlrd to learning all this stuff..konda Haha. But it'll really help I presume and if not ill let you know. So just wondering, what good does the root explorer do? What can you do with it?

So phone screen cracked... anyway to backup internal SD?

My phone screen cracked a couple weeks ago, it wasn't that bad that I couldn't stand it but it was a little bothersome. Anyways I thought I would just put up with it for a while, but I ended up placing a claim for a replacement from Asurion a few days ago. Well I dropped my phone again the other day while I was walking home using the LED flash, and I thought everything was fine til I got home and I noticed the screen didn't turn on anymore. It is unresponsive as well so can't answer calls either. I tried plugging the device into my computer and it listed the device but I couldn't access the actual files. I tried opening Odin up just to see if I could even write to the phone, and ended up flashing a root66 file I had from a while back. I don't believe it wipes the the internal SD so I was wondering if it was possible to retrieve the data off the phone still? I have most of my stuff, including Titanium backups, on my external SD; but I believe I have a few important files on the internal too.
Edit: .-. Just remember I was on an AOSP rom before odin'ing.. so phone won't boot up all the way. Are there any AOSP roms I can flash in Odin? Yeah I know what I did was really stupid haha.

There's an app called airdroid that let's you control and use a lot of the phones functions on a web browser via wifi. You can browse your files, send and receive text messages among many other things. Maybe it will help you out with copying files to your computer and other problems?
Edit: just saw your edit sorry don't know how to help.

Even then, the screen doesn't turn on and is unresponsive. So can't install any apps or anything.
You could try adb pull, but I don't know the exact paths you should use. Don't forget phone needs to in usb debugging before you're able to use it.

Gave up on adb a while ago. Tried so many times to figure out how to use it to no avail. Plus I might have screwed up too far at this point to adb
You could give Android Commander a try. Read about it on Addictivetips, I believe it uses adb. It's pretty much a file explorer.

Did you solve your problem?

Portable ADB ALL [ANDROID] devices

Have you ever needed to use ADB at a work PC or a location you could not "install" applications?
Unzip the attached file and click the RunMe.bat
I have tested this pulling logs, pushing/pulling files, flashing recovery, roms, and anything else I could think of.
I tested it on the M8 stock rom 5.0.2 but this is a generic file so it should be fine on most if not all android devices.
The idea came when I was at work and looking for a solution for a problem I had. I could not install anything on my work PC, so this came in handy, the only problem is that it was outdated, or seemed outdated for my needs.
find the zip file here https://www.androidfilehost.com/?fid=24052804347791558
This topic has been covered but is very outdated. I only found information from 2011 and 2013. The included information has since been updated by Google. I found it and included it, re-zipped it and now it is here for you to enjoy.
Thanks
to @Kickface, (where I first found this solution) wherever you went and any others who have created a truly portable (not minimal) solution to using ADB without installing anything.

I know this is totally off topic, I'll report myself for it later....
So, I installed the zip file onto my work PC, a DELL Inspiron laptop running Windows 7 professional (I really cannot get too much more info about it now) sorry. My nooby butt just went and downloaded the file not checking the MD5 :crying: Totally a dumb thing a NOOBY would do. It started to get late & I had to get ready to go to work. I know I had the command prompt screen (Black box) running and I then left the computer. 8 hr's later I come home from work and the computer is locked as normal, I to proceed entering Ctrl+Alt+Delete combination as usual & NOTHING (panic setting in)!! I was concerned since it was frozen from something I done, also I didn't want to loose all the work I gathered that night prior (is the very least of my worries now)... I took out the battery to reset the computer, again like a dummy, I started Windows normally ignoring the other "safe mode, etc" options. I click on windows Chrome, NOTHING! Not even an option to open the program/app. Okay, I'm really panicking now WTH did I do??? I knew I did something wrong, so I reset the computer by battery again, put it in "Safe Mode" which did absolutely nothing as I couldn't "open desktop gadgets in safe mode". Now, I restarted the computer from the start menu... Started up completely fine, I have access to everything EXCEPT Chrome, Internet Explorer, etc. anything that is browser related has the administrator shield on the icon. However, I still cannot even click on the icon to run as an administrator even if I had the password!?!?
Is there any possible hope to uninstall that file and just maybe it'll go back to normal??? I cannot re-install Chrome or Internet Explorer due to the darn administrator rights!!!
I've searched to the ends of the earth since last night trying to find a solution, this is my last ditch effort resort for any possible suggestions to point me in the right direction. Luckily my friend was kind enough to lend me his laptop and my phone is in proper working order:angel: If I tell my IT guy what happened, I'll be in huge trouble, going on the 2nd laptop destroyed, 1st time really wasn't my fault, just saying so u don't think I'm continuously reckless.
Any help as always is greatly appreciated! Hoping someone has had this happen maybe:fingers-crossed: and just a slight point in the right direction (link, website, specific thread on forum) would b awesome?? Again, apologies on the "off-topic" content, I don't know what else to do & I feel as though XDA is THE ABSOLUTE BEST forum site for any Android help, apps, devs research, roms, etc. Thx in Advance!!

I can tell you that it's not related to the files because I use them on my work PC all the time. I am working 10 hours days, 6 days a week. So the only time I can do anything out of the ordinary on my phone, it has to be at work.
That being said, have you tried system restore? I'm not sure if that requires admin rights, it might. On another note, tell the IT guy your internet explorer just stopped working, they love that. Because seriously, it's unrelated. The most he will do is uninstall and reinstall IE/Chrome. If that doesn't fix it, a system restore should. If that still does not, there is something off with the settings for internet access (I've seen that before). But if you are saying there is a shield/lock over an icon, that's new to me.
Also, I can install chrome at my work. It usually does not require admin rights, that and Firefox. There are also many portable browsers you can download from another PC and copy the zip file to the laptop, and run the app. Just search portable browser. At least this will help determine if the browsers installed got locked or if there is a network setting being blocked.
Let me know how it goes. This IS a bit off topic, but let's figure out what's wrong publicly so the mods can see there is nothing wrong with the zip I posted and then we can have our posts removed.

Thanks for getting back to me, I appreciate it.
I'm glad to hear that it's not the file bc I cannot uninstall that regardless. We do have crazy blocks on all the computers at my work. I'm pretty sure it has to do with the sensitive information we have (a drug tx center so everyone's personal info is in our database). We can't even update the time on our computers, I have no clue why. I asked him once, he said something about giving that permission would open up another way to bypass security (I can't remember exactly).
This is my laptop, I never even bother bringing into work because I work so much from home. For example my login at the office has updated twice when at home it's still my old login password. The computer is physically in bad shape (it's been used & abused for sure) I'd prefer not to the bring it in for him to see so I plan on waiting to Friday night (IF ALL ELSE FAILS) and txtg him saying I absolutely need to work & see if he will do troubleshoot remote access! I hope that doesn't sound too horrible :-/
As I was typing this I just received an email to restart all workstations due to updates/ changes to the server done this weekend... Hmmmm it could totally be bc of this!!!!! Fingers crossed. I may just have to bring it in let it connect to the local server reset it, and bam good to go If not due to this I can almost guarantee it's the internet settings that I don't have access to!! But the portable browser should work...
I will still try all of your suggestions once I get home this afternoon and report back to you ASAP!!
Luckily I have my friends laptop to borrow & Dell had some good deals on laptops last night so I ordered a really nice one since I really need a personal computer again. Which I will also get an expense check for (bonus)!! But, won't arrive until 3/16. Until then I do have access to extra pc's here I could always swap it out, but I don't want to be scrutinized or punished for being sneaky, it's really not my character...
Again, I appreciate your input. Also, totally agreed on the "off-topic resolution" first and then delete our posts...
Thanks Again!
Yeah, I cannot get through the security on it.
When I look at the properties or try to repair Chrome or IE, it has an incorrect path, totally crazy looking.
\\localhost\C$\os(c\Users\mludford.....
I'm currently downloading a zip for a standalone browser. Hopefully that'll work...
This thread in general is totally crazy too, it looks like I replied like 3 or 4 times, I DID NOT :/ I tried twice & it told me that I didn't have access to the post, with a grey button over my original post you replied to, saying "Spoiler"!?! Very strange....

Needless to say it's not the settings or anything with the computer as I took it into work for it to "register" & update to the network settings... Nothing! So, I'm trying the above to see if I can't get around it. Thanks Again
