OTA Update coming? - Captivate General

Something strange happened to me today. I got text from AT&T today saying an update was available for my phone and to press ok when prompted. I am running Acura RC1 so I wont be doing an OTA upgrade, but I found this text interesting.

If you would have searched, you would have found that people are receiving this message from AT&T if they are running anything other than JF6. So everyone running these custom ROMs have the potential to get a OTA "upgrade" to Eclair.

FFS, not again...............
Attention to detail people.

And this is what the other posts were referring to. I mean with 100 posts you would think you would know how to use the search function.

I think people just wanna be first to tell new news...

It's not even the search function. There's at least two new threads on "mystery text messages" a week.

The last part isn't correct. The phone continue to have issues with Sleep of Death and random reboots. Camera Software sucks now. This is hald baked update...i am switching to another phone and never coming back to LG product!
Do I have to recovery stock? or can I just restore my stock ROM and leave CW? Anyone can help me out here?
wow
They think we're stupid. Maybe we are for thinking the LG update was just a leak and that development was still in the works...

[Q] Available FOTA update disappeared in some days

About 1 week ago when I checked for update manually I got the message there is. (2 small ones and after a bigger one). Several people installed it (talked to them on internet). Some days later I wanted to install it and it says there is no available. I contacted HTC but I have not got any useful answer. T-mobile Hungary. Actual one: 1.28.401.1. The update would be: 1.47.401.4.
Could anyone help me what the problem could be?
This update was peace of s....We all have now broken WIFI, that is why it dissapeared...
Up to now none of the people who intalled the update and I am in contact has noticed WIFI problem. I asked again them about it.
In Poland, on T-mobile phones, all users have broken WIFI, HTC claims to repair it soon
2-3 people answered my question up to now. Nobody has problem. It is very strange.
I also got the update message, so I downloaded the update, but when installing it my phonescreen shows an error..
Update ( 1.47.401.4 (35.39)) is still there and ready to download/install on my phone.

Based on your posts above, it seems you guys haven't changed your ROMs to any Custom ones.. Just a quick question though, has anyone of you experienced the so-called Wi-Fi Death Grip? I trying to find ways to fix it. Please check here.
Now I got the info about the available update automatically. But I am not sure I should install it. Has the previous problem of update been solved?

Uh.. what happen to my XDA ?

I used the search utility and then this happen. It went from normal looking (pic 1) to this weird funky yellow thing (pic 2)

I think cause its a diffrent theme, click on your username in the top right corner near your notifications or where you would type to search a device, once you click your user name it will take you to your profile or the about me, then look at the bottom left of your page, there will be a little list you can open, says xda classic, change it to xda 2010 those are the themes

I guess you figured it out, otherwise how would you have a screenshot of before and after? Do you often take screenshots just in case something is about to happen?

I tried using a method from xda forums, however I just screwed gtalk and made it impossible to use (this also happened on my x10) so I think it depends on the phone or something
sadly google is not updating any google apps beyond market/play or gmail
A few months back an XDAer posted a ported version. I don't know where I put my copy of it, because when I switched back to Froyo I could no longer use it. From what I recall you had to flash it, rather than side load, but it worked perfectly! It should still be on here somewhere.

I think the ones you used were from this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1056793
note: none of them worked on my o3d
Don't think that's where I pulled the file from. I did have a chance to dig through my backups from the Gingerbread days and found the file that worked perfectly here. I am pretty sure it was just a flash install, but can't test because I am back on Froyo. I really wish I could reference the author, and if you're out there please reply and take your due credit. I hope this works as well for you as it did for me!
argh can't flash, my cwm got screwed after I moved from 21a to 20a

[Q] Google Maps update

I've been reading articles about a recent major update to Google Maps, but so far nothing appears to have changed on my phone (or tablet, for that matter) and the Play Store tells me I've got the latest.
Anyone know what gives with this? Does anyone have the new version?

Good for a laugh first thing this morning lol
Thanks. Didn't realize they maintained different "versions" of the app targeted to specific O/Ss and devices. Hey -- my app runs on anything from 2.3 up!

The lastest update really does suck !
I was on the free way, but it showed my position on the street next to the free way. It had never happened before the update. So I don't recommend people to update. And my GPS signal is pretty good (16/25 sat.), so there is nothing wrong with my gps, but the app itself.
Agreed, if you can keep from updating, definitely hold out. Mine wouldn't keep up with my position in navigator and it was telling me to turn in directions which weren't even possible. They've introduced some major bugs with this update. I reverted back to an older version and I'm good to go now.
