So after living with official Froyo for a month...

How has your experience been with it?
Mine has been fine, my wife's not so much...
My wife's Captivate: WAS very very laggy but 2.2 fixed it. She had zero problems with her GPS but the 2.2 update threw it off about a block : /
My Captivate: Just as smooth as before, and GPS is perfect as was before.
How are you guys enjoying Froyo?

Not quite sure what you mean. I didn't know there was an official one for the captivate sent out? Searched for it and couldn't find it on google. You sure ATT pushed out official 2.2 a month ago?

There is no official froyo yet for the captivate

Sorry I should have specified Canada : /
It is complete bull$hit that ATT has not given you guys 2.2 I think I would go custom ROM and be done with it.

Just get a new (not refurbished) Captivate instead!

Get another phone. Do not settle on a defective phone. I spoke with someone in the "Office of the President" (a higher level of AT&T customer service) and after checking into the issue, they overnighted me a NEW Captivate (my phone was purchased in August, so I am well out of the 30-days). Their statement was that the defective phones are not supposed to be in the new lots or refurb lots, as it is against their procedures to knowingly sell defective phones. I would suggest taking your complaints there. The number is 1-800-331-0500. Be firm and upset, but be respectful. They will work with you.

Overall its not bad, but I do have a few issues I am still contending with.
When I first did the update I lost navigation all together. I restarted the phone (using a access number Samsung provided me) and solved that issue.
I lost a lot of files that were on my SD card. I haven't been able to figure out why that should be. It's like the update made a point of deleting everything except my media... Oh well
However I am still fighting issues with the both the home and car docks. (Which by the way Samsung Canada doesn't recognize up here and said I am on my own)
The usb audio out worked once and then disappeared on me altogether... Restarting apps and phone isn't helping...
And using the home dock, the phones main screens get stuck in landscape mode (only after doing it all night, if it's only running for a couple hours it's fine) and I have to shut off the phone to get it back to normal. Using Samsung home dock app it was every night. Alarms Plus as well. I am currently using an app called no dock and its down to 25% of the time I don't get stuck in landscape mode. Livable... The car dock I have not gotten stuck in landscape yet, but then I don't think it will ever be in the dock long enough to get stuck...
Which brings me to a point of frustration. Why isn't landscape mode functional outside the dock mode? I love the ability, just not getting stuck there until I reboot... The phone CAN and WILL do it on certain conditions, so why not all the time?
I haven't tried the mass storage mode or tethering yet so I don't know if they are working or I have more issues to deal with.

[Q] data and roaming issues

I hope this is in the right place if not I apologize. Anyways I was running AOSP v0.9 and this morning I turned off data to conserve battery life. After that my phone will only connect to 1x and it is always roaming. It seems to realize that it is supposed to be on USCC it even says USCC in the status bar. So I called customer service and they told me to do a *228 and from what I hear this is really bad for anyone running ASOP then I did it anyways and it connected me to verizon so I disconnected the call and am still stuck roaming and with no 3g. Then I decided to switch back to MIUI and I'm still having the same problems. Another weird note, if I set my network to automatic it kills my connection but if I put it on home only I am roaming. Any ideas guys.

This is the same issue I posted earlier that I haven't resolved yet. I am getting the verizon thing when I dial *228 as well. It is really frustrating because the phone is virtually unusable for data now. Hopefully we get it figured out. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.
Sent from my SCH-I500 using XDA App

OK so after doing some research, it looks like this issue can happen if you disable your data (using a toggle, such as the ones in the notification bars of some roms), and then flash a new rom or kernel or something with the data off. It looks like it wipes the APN? Anyone know if this sounds like what may be the issue or how we might go about fixing it?

Well I just got off an hour long call with tech support they think it is an issue with the radio and want me to do an exchange since I bought it less than thirty days ago. So I don't know maybe I should just cancel this and get a new phone with a new carrier. Maybe something with 4g. But I love this phone so I don't know what I'm going to do. Keep me updated if you find a fix.

Check the Showcase AOSP thread. I managed to find a little trick that fixed our phones suffering from the same issue. Its worth a shot on yours.

Tried your method and nothing. Kind of running out of ideas here. Any radio/modem I should need would be in the ROM right? I have gone as far as to flash all the way back to DI14 and can't get this thing to work. Still can't figure out how it even happened in the first place.

Well I figured it out for me anyways. Call US cellular and they will give you a new phone under warranty. I'm on mine now. It is back to 2.1 and stock but it works!

Just got mine working about 10 minutes ago. Call USCC tech and they said that for some reason I was no longer "provisioned" for 3G service so they fixed it. I know our issues were a little different. Glad we're both up and running again. Now lets see if I can do something else to screw this up . . . . .

Official Gingerbread Update Soon???

So I've been looking for a way to try that GB sweetness on my Tbolt. The leak a few weeks ago was very tempting, but due to bricking issue and the fact that the leak is just a test build made me hesitant.
After googling GB update for TB, a few links came up that suggest that the TB and Evo should get official update to 2.3 in June.
Here is my question: I just saw an announcement for Evo update to 2.3 on June 6. When is it our turn??? I know it's a bit antsy but they can't just throw a wet cat in front of me and not expect me to beat that sh#$ up.
But seriously, anyone got news?
here's a poll for ya speculations

Even if sombody has a date its always wrong. So let's get over the guessing game. The bamf gb rom is flawless you just need a little experience when it comes to wiping data and radio updates. But I have had no problems once the ROM is up and running.

And battery life is better in this ROM then froyo from my personal experiences.

Going to have to add another vote for BAMF GB. Loving me some "ROM of Death" ;}

The latest CM7 Alpha build from Slayher is almost problem free for me (no big issues, all data etc. working great) and I've had lots of problems with previous builds. It's worth a shot.

I'm guessing there will be some more leaked builds, but the final version and OTA won't happen until September... 4 to 5 months after the first leak seems to be the standard procedure with VZW and Android updates...

I got an email from HTC yesterday and was told that Gingerbread will be out this summer.
I Emailed HTC to complain about the constant rebooting issue and battery life after the OTA.....bla bla ect ect & asked when the Tbolt will get Gingerbread and this is what I received back.
Dear XXXXX XXXXX,
I understand your device is randomly rebooting after the latest OTA. I will advise how to back up your contacts and perform a factory data reset. If the device continues to reboot we are currently advising customers to swap the device out with Verizon, but I will provide another option as well.
I do not currently have any information that indicates the cause of the rebooting issue or whether it is possible for it to be resolved in a software update. I can advise you that the Thunderbolt will be receiving Gingerbread this Summer.
To back up your contacts launch the People application and press menu=>import/export=>export to SD card=>Phone. If you are not sure that your contacts are in Google you can repeat this step and select the Google category.
The Thunderbolt is usually configured to mass-reinstall your Market applications after a factory data reset if you log in with the same Gmail account. If you wish to avoid this for troubleshooting purposes you can open the Market and press Menu>My Apps and uninstall your applications. Alternatively, after the factory data reset, you can wait to enter your Gmail account until you have had a chance to test the phone functionality.
A factory reset will clear all of the settings and data from your phone's internal memory and restore your device to its default state. Media on your storage card, which includes your pictures and videos, however, will not be affected. To perform this reset, from the home screen, press menu=>settings=>SD & Phone Storage=>Factory Data Reset.
If device behavior continues we are asking customers to swap their devices out at a Verizon store. However, you can also use your warranty with HTC by calling our warranty provider PCD at 1-800-229-1235 (8:30 AM - 5 PM EDT M-F).
To send a reply to this message or let me know I have successfully answered your question log in to our ContactUs site using your email address and your ticket number XXXXXXXXXX.
Sincerely,
Douglas
HTC

I would but there is no 4G LTE on CM7, and I'm not willing to give it up since I live in an area with the service, but to anyone that isn't in the 4G area, CM7 is a great choice.

We already knew it was coming in summer the problem is when in summer? Summer can go all the way to the end of August basically so its really cloudy as to a somewhat exact date.

From what I understand, the 3G/4G/WiFi handoff is fixed in the version released early this morning/late last night.

We went threw the same thing with the incredible-froyo update. When we get updates, is anyone else like, wow that took a year?? Sure we get a couple new features and performance bumps and new extra awesome crapware, but this time I don't think I'll be marking off days on the calendar.

Exactly. So if you're itching for some Gingerbread, you might as well flash one of the roms based on the GB leak. Otherwise you could be waiting much longer than expected

From work to my house to my girlfriends house, I have 4g everywhere. That was the sole reason I dumped CM7. After last nights update, I figured I would give it a try, and am glad I did! 4G Has been fixed and this is now the ROM to use! Everything is working great and have had 0 issues after using it for the last 12 hours or so.

GPS Not Working / Random Restarting enough to send it back?

Has anybody else sent their G2X back because of random restarts and the GPS not working correctly? I haven't had any of the other issues some of you guys are having and my battery life seems pretty good. I can't complain about that.
But I often use the GPS on my phone for work. It was great on my Nexus One and never failed me. I tried to use it on my G2X the other day and it was horrible. It took minutes to load and finally when it seemed like it was going to work, it was real lousy. It wouldn't keep up with where I was driving, so the directions were real sloppy and inaccurate.
As far as the random restarts, that might be normal..? It's a smartphone which is like a mini computer, so I think restarts might be fairly normal. I seen a restart the other day and I seen 2 more today.
My question is do these seem like software issues? If so, i'm willing to wait for an update to fix these things. I like the phone a lot and i'm lucky to have no screen or battery issues. So I don't wanna risk sending it back only to have those issues.

My GPS is rock solid. It is slow to start sometimes but my old phone was the Vibrant and ANYYHING is better than that. Don't have any restart issues. You should do an audit of the apps you have on your phone.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA App

What exactly do you mean by an audit of my apps? Do you really think any of the other apps are messing with the GPS?
I'm debating doing a format. I'm not sure whether or not it would help anything.

We have the same issue, everything (dialy used apps) works except for the GPS. I can't even see GPS icon even after toggle ON and running GPS toolbox. Though, sometimes if I am lucky, after Rom Manager Fix Permissions and restart it works. But only if am lucky.
Maybe it is a software issue or permissions issue, but I am hoping that this will be fixed with the long awaited update.

I was speaking of apps in regards to the reboots. My GPS icon doesn't show sometimes also. A quick reboot solves that for me. There's a thread about fixing the GPS. You should try the steps in there.

Return it. Phone should never reboot. Android runs on Linux which is designed to be up 24/7 365. GPS should lock quickly.

Lol.......

I called about my GPS and reboot problems and they are sending me a replacement g2x. The tech rep did say that he would check about their exchange program eligibility where I can exchange for an equal or better phone under warrranty. He said there were no phones that were of equal value currently released. He told me if I call tomorrow when the sensation comes out that it may be an option. For now I'm going with another g2x but to answer the original question, GPS and revolts is a good enough reason to send it back.

My GPS locks up almost daily now. The GPS icon doesnt show... I think it's an app issue (gas buddy) that's not compatible... A reboot fixes the gps for about a day.

I have problems with GPS also, it's horrible at times. Tonight it took two reboots before it worked, and even then it was flaky at best. My Nexus One was great prior to 2.3, at which point it was unreliable also, but not like this.
Basically I have to reboot daily or else GPS won't work when I want it. And all I run on it that uses GPS is Maps, My Tracks and when I'm attempting to fix it, GPS Status, which sometimes just comes up as a blank screen. Sometimes it takes two reboots to get GPS to work, which is just odd, but I've seen that twice.
Also, I have witnessed at least 5 spontaneous reboots, and I've had the phone just a few weeks.

The retail for the G2x is $499 and that matches the Samsung Galaxy S 4G. Would've matched the G2, but reports have it as discontinued. The Sensation is 10% more expensive.

He was talking features also. Dual core should match up with another dual core.

there is no gps problem. this happens after you flash the infused 1.5 rom and others because it has altered settings and there must be a conflict somewhere. you can fix it by entering lbs test mode from the dialer (sgs tools will launch it but it doesnt seem to make the settings stick, you can check if the settings stick by reading /data/gps/secgps.conf in a text editor) the dialer code is *#*#3214789650#*#* it sometimes doesnt work if gps is disabled. then toggle the agps mode to something else and exit lbs, then reboot the phone. reenter lbs from the dialer toggle the settings back to stock and clear gps data. then exit lbs(use the back button not the home button. i think it writes settings on exit), see if the settings stuck (/data/gps/secgps.conf) and reenter lbs and and get position test.
it is a pain but wont normally be a problem if the phone was never messed with. gps issues are a common complaint on any smart phone regardless of manufacturer.. my iphone 3g would not work under cover, that meant no car navigation(not that the app was available for turn by turn at that time), my friend complains about his droid incredible, my other friend complains about his lg, my other friends complain about various blackberries. it is a normal complaint.

I have to admit. I've only used gps a handful of times, but I've yet to have any issues with it. I'm running Bionix Infinity at the moment and have seen nothing but excellent gps.

Wow realy infused rom issue lol? I had this phone stock for a week and gps was horrible before anyroms period if anything is a samsung thing. I came from iphone 4 which.had an impecable gps, therefore no need to blame this on any rom ive tried them all and stock its all the same

while it is true there are bad units, this can be said about any manufacturer. what i am refering to is a specific situation that i have encountered when using roms that have the modified settings to use the nokia supl server. though this server works amazingly well for some reason when you flash a rom with the changes pre set there is sometimes a conflict that prevents a lock even though 10 or more sats are in sight with strong reception. one of the users above said they say "all gps working" i am assuming that means they can see sats but get no lock and i posted a way to resolve this if it is rom related. if you have a bad phone and are sure of it im not calling you a lier, get a new one! if you dont trust samsung well the lg thrill is coming soon.

Im not sayimg that bro.i love the infused its not the roms though.it may effect settings when u flash roms but its easy fix. I get locks all the time some fast some slow but 90% of the time it locks. In a house maybe mine does but no lock at work, so yea areas ,weather, signal,device, location,etc all play factor and for me the better battery charge I have the better the locks.

Did you flash the gps tweak addon when installing the Infused ROM? When i did, i noticed that the settings were still on stock settings in LbsTestMode. After changing it to jz3's required settings, the lock on gps was a lot better, but accuracy is sometimes off.
Here is his thread:
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1107860
If you dont know how to get to LbsTestMode, i downloaded an app called Any Cut. Long press on an empty area on home or whatever. Then shortcut>any cut>Activity>LbsTestMode
After that, refer to the link above and start on step 2 (if you already have the gps tweak addon)

yeah i didnt mean to point the finger at the developer either. the mod works very well for many people but for me and a few others when reflashing you have to toggle things back and forth to get it to work, i also make a few other changes afterwards but experience varies so im not gonna push my successful settings on people. as for your experiences, well my phone is impecable anywhere i go in any weather so there may be an inconsistancy in the antennas or something. the gps works under cover on my infuse better than my iphone but oddly not better than my captivate. my captivate is less accurate and gets slowwer locks but can find me inside a building with a metal roof and in the basement of my house, this is from a phone that is supposed to be notorious for gps issues, but this is only after i changed a few settings and updated the glgps daemon with da_g's mod and did a lot of figuring out what doesn't work.

Yeah i started to see up to 8+ satellites after the fix. Before wouldnt even LOCK on lol.

I'm on my 2nd stock Infuse (only rooted) and each had the same pathetic GPS/Software lack of performance issues. It is driving me insane. I assume, based on forum threads, this is a SAMSUNG specific problem.
My old iphone4 GPS was basically perfect with almost instant satellite fixes which meant I used it for running, biking and motorcycling (in addition to car use on trips), photos, etc. Can't do this with my Samsung Infuse.

it's all subjective. it's kinda a ymmv situation but the extent of what i do is start with the mod from jz3 and delete one line in his gps.conf file that says "DEFAULT_USER_PLANE=TRUE" there is no need for this (and other additions in his file) because it will be set in secgps.conf by way of lbs test mode anyway and i dont use userplane so it might cause a conflict.
the operation mode is set to msbased and dynamic accuracy is turned off ( i just do this out of habit, it "seemed" to work on the captivate)
supl server is set to supl.nokia.com and the port set to 7275 with secure socket off and agps mode set to controlplane
i have no way to know why this works any better but it "seems" to work for me. also after some googling i found that control plane can be used for emergency location for 911 calls which is a good idea if you like hiking or 4-wheeling which i do.
i offer no guarantees that this will work better for anyone but it seems to work on my captivate and my infuse, the captivate has other mods to the jupiter.xml and an updated glgps deamon thanks to da_g's mod. the infuse should be up to date on the glgps daemon from the factory and the jupiter.xml is stock.
i can get as low as 4m locks and get locks in as few as 4 seconds to about 20-50 meters initially quickly coming down to 6-8m. most locks take under 10 seconds.

Hrmmmm....no noticeable issues here. We used the apps gps status and faster fix on some evo roms to quickly connect and it seems to work on the infuse.
I will check out the link above when i have some spare time
