Hi. I have a rooted Samsung Captivate 2.2. I installed one-click-lag-fix, titanium, rom-manager, busybox, tegrak-overclock, task manager and my phone had lightning fast browser speed, and worked great. Then I installed Fastmod, and thats when the trouble began. I accidentally installed the wrong rom. I installed the rom for Galaxy GT-19000 instead of the rom for Captivate i897. I know this because my phone says GT-19000 when I turn it on.
Now, the phone is very unstable, freezes every few minutes, has forced closes for titanium, vlingo, messaging, etc. The phone even freezes when I make calls.
I set the phone to reset to factory- It is still rooted with 2.2, but the problems are still there. What can I do to get back my Captivate i897? Arnele

Lately past couple weeks on my captivate ive been trying out different roms for i9000 and i897 and for some reason market will not download anything. it just says starting download and never finishes, and in the notification bar it shows random apps that i never clicked to download say download unsuccessfull. if i do a hard data reset the market will work for a bit, but then does the same thing again. ive tried using 2 different gmail accounts with no luck.
the weird thing is that i thought i might have messed up some settings in my phone from flashing different roms, but the market works perfectly while running i9000 2.2 froyo jp3 and jpc roms. Ive tried various 2.1 roms, i897 jf6,jh2,jh3,jh7 and i9000 jm6, jm7, jm8 and all of them have the same market stalling.
Has anyone found a fix for this or are having this same problem? its really frustrating, but since 2.2 has a working market then i guess i just have to wait for OTA update captivate to froyo if there is no fix for this.
Are you on Wifi or 3G? I've had this same problem sometimes. For whatever reason it woulnd't download on the specific access point I was connected to, but when I switched to 3G it worked just fine. Other Wifi access points work just fine for me except for that one.
happens to me at home sometimes.. i noticed when the screen blacks out to nap.. and i turn it on.. the download starts
I get the same thing every once in a while. I fix it by going to Settings -> Applications-> Manage Applications, then Filter to show all applications. Scroll down and hit "Download Manager" and in there, hit "Clear Data." That seems to do the trick for me.
Yea it doesnt matter if its on wifi or 3g the download is stuck. Ive tried clearing cache & data on download manager & market with no success. I flashed i9000 jm8 last night on my i897 captivate and the market worked for about 20 mins even tho half of downloads wouldnt finish so i had to restart them...but now the market still is stuck on starting download. I ran i9000 jp3 2.2 yesterday and market worked perfectly, this is weird wtf google?

this happened to me when I moved for JF6 to JH3. I retraced my steps and it turned out that if I loaded my accounts from Titanium backup, I couldn't download apps from the market and it was stuck at starting to download. My suggestion is once you have your phone flashed the way you want it, restore only your apps, system settings, email, sms & mms..... restore your accounts manually.
I manual entering my email accounts, not using titanium backup to back up anything.

Hello there, have you managed to solve the download staling issue?
CHeers
I have a samsung galaxy sl i9003
got it a month back
india got the gingerbread update just a couple of weeks back,
i updated my phone, it worked well for a few days
but now
my keypad freezes when im typing, its very slow now.
i use the default samsung keypad.
i even tried factory resetting the phone, but that didnt work either.
even though i have no apps installed, its slow. YEA, NO EXTERNAL APPS INSTALLED.
Please help
Thanks.
just try out a different keyboard (better keyboard) if the problem persists then its the rom's fault
EDIT2: It seems that it wont remember settings either. I disable WiFi, and after reboot its back on. Same with all other settings. If I uinstall an app, its back in normal function after reboot. If I install a new app, its gone after reboot. And I cant even perform a hard reset, everything back to normal after I tried it... sick stuff!!
EDIT: Actually it seems like it wont accept new installations or something. Because now it found new updates to apps I did upgrade earlier this morning already...
Its the two latest installed apps Im missing after installing them (Swiftkey X and Dolphin Browser HD). Also now Im trying to upgrade my phone to version 4 of android, but after downloading the firmvare, it need a restart and then I have the same problem as with the apps. Its like I never downloaded the firmware, tried 3 times now and all 3 times the same happens. Anyone have similar problems with their phones??
Also noticed that last the phone reset itself it yesterday at approximately 9.04 (that was when my weather app last updated). Really wonder what can cause this? No one with any similar experiences or possible solutions?
Wow, this phone is becoming more of a problem than I expected. I am rooted, stock ROM and settings. Lately the browser, facebook and messaging app all force closed often. Yesterday I had to do a factory reset because it wouldn't start up after a reboot (I rebooted because I hadn't in awhile and got stuck for no apparent reason). That is when I discovered the calendar issue in my other thread below. Since then the facebook and browser seem to be fine, but the stock messaging app will not start. Any suggestions on that?
How did you root first of all? What did you do after you rooted? eg did you freeze a lot of apps, use autostarts etc..
Retrace your steps and should be able to figure it out...

I ud the original root method. I froze the stock email app, but nothing else. Did not install CWM. Since July 10th when I received and rooted, until two days ago I did not have problems, and used the phone as normal. Guess I will go through and see if I have any other programs that could be affecting it.
I'm Having trouble with my Samsung Galaxy SIII Verizon, Every 30 days or so I have to do a mater reset because my keyboard won't show at all, whether searching google or writing an SMS it just never pops up, This will be the 3rd time i have had to perform a master reset since december and it's getting old. I am running the stock ROM, non Rooted. Eveything about this phone is stock, Verizon will not replace it because Performing a master reset resolves the issue and the keyboard works immediately after the reset, I've even tried not installing any other apps and used only my on device apps and my Nexus 7 for everything else. and the problem still occurs. I searched the forums for the same issue but came up empty handed and even searched google where I was presented with other issues that were similar, but not the same as what i'm seeing with my device. This has only happened since I upgraded to Jellybean 4.1.1, Baseband I535VRBLK3, Build# JR003L.I535VRBLK3
