Data Management Server - Captivate General

Everytime I do DM, it says "Connection Failed", and when I click on it it says "No Firmware". Is it because I'm rooted?

Its because your task killer its killing it. Restart your phone and don't kill anything on the phone and check again.

Software update error on AT&T

When I manually try to check for updates on my Captivate I get an AT&T server connection error. This did not start until recently. Anyone have the same issue?
Yes ever since I loaded the update.

Great. Not even going to ask how we get 2.2 when it is released if we're unable to connect to the server.

As large as it is going to be I would say they will have multiple sites available..or just what till Samsung has it on their site and download it.

Yep. One day it works, the next it doesn't. I thought it was because I flashed to 2.2 but I went back to JH7 and still the same.

I'm afraid something in the update caused a problem. Not sure though.

I'm thinking that AT&T took the servers down because of all the charcoal (bricks) the last OTA caused.
try this solution if still having issues..worked for me:
Got to "Settings", "Applications", "Manage applications". When in "Manage applications", hit the menu key and select "filter". Once in "filter" mode select all. Now look for "Device management" and access it. When in "Device management" hit "Clear data".
Now you will need to reboot the phone. Once the phone reboots, wait a couple minutes and check for updates. If you just recently checked, go in date and time and change the date to a day ahead. This will bypass the ATT 24hr check.

Error message in stock Captivate

I'm having an error message on screen every one to two minutes. it said "Failed to Update my location no signal" I already go to AT&T customer service and change the phone. But I continue to have the same error message. I'm restoring all the apps using TIBU. The phone that they give me has an incredible GPS working. I have a constant 5 meter lock in about 8 to 10 seconds.
Does the error has to be related to an app?
Are you resorting system data as well with tb? if you are that can cause problems.you should never restore system apps only user apps
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App
No I just backup the user applications and restore only the user applications.
Any more ideas?
I found the error. It was the weather bug application

How did you fix it I'm having the same problem.
Probably uninstalled weather bug and used a different weather app...just guessing though.

Media scanner is running?

Recently my phone wont allow me to open either my camera or gallery and the message of 'Media scanner is running will appear'.
Does anybody know what I can do to stop this from happening? I've searched a bit and haven't found any definitive solutions.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

It has to complete before you can use files on external sd card. The bigger the card, and the more files on the card the longer it takes.

Its been like this for several days and it has never done this before. What exactly is it doing?

Also, I am unable to open the market. When I do a force close comes up for android.process.media. This is very annoying :/ I haven't downloaded anything new or change any system settings recently before this problem starting occurring

Trying scanning that sd card with a desktop. Under Windows7 after you insert the sd card, click on, Computer>(your sd card)>(right click)>properties>tools>error checking>Scan for and attempt recovery of bad sectors (option)>start. After it completes put it back into the phone and see if the scanning media message goes away.

Didn't work
There isn't actually any apparent message in my notification bar or anywhere else that says the media scanner is running. Unless I try opening my camera or gallery is when a small message appears that says "Media Scanner is running"
Even when I try to add a new alarm it says android.process.media has stopped unexpectedly and I have to force close. This is getting frustrating :\
Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated
The media scanner is disabled - grab media scanner root from the market and re-enable then the process will complete. If you are not rooted, or upgraded and lost root (like me) then a factory restore will clear that setting.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App
Are there any other alternatives to doing a factory reset? I would but I'm unable to open mybackup pro due to the media scanner running as well and I have some apps that are not saved in my market apps and are no longer available on the market either. I would rather do a factory reset as a last resort in this case.
Any other suggestions? Thanks again for everyone who has provided feedback regarding my problem, I really appreciate it

I think that the factory reset is your only fix for this or like the dude said try to root and cant you go to your google account and go to the dashboard and make sure everything is synced? I noticed that when I did az factory reset alot of my apps are gone but if I look on my pc on chrome go to market and check my account it is all there everything I have ever purchased or downloaded.
Thanks for the advice.
I just logged in online like you suggested but I still don't see some of my apps that were previously available on the market and no longer are. Specifically some of my rom stuff for snes and what not.
How can I back these apps up before I so a factory reset? Is there a way I can save them via USB?
Thanks again

Facebook?

Are coworker of mine just came to me saying that she updated her HTC Facebook app and keeps getting a "Facebook authentication failed" error when she uses it. She is running stock 2.2, any ideas?
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using xda premium
Clear all data or uninstall then re-install. Happens to me when I restore apps & data.
Sent from my Sensation using xda premium
If that doesnt work, could be facebook's new security option and it could be set up wrong for her. You are now able to set up phone authentication in facebook where you will try to log in on your mobile device (or any device) and will first be prompted with "Wrong username/password" but then will receive a text with a 6 digit code to put in as a password instead. Have her check out those settings in facebook on a computer she can log onto. Hope it helps
