[Q] Help with semi broken Captivate.

My captivate recently stopped working out of the blue. I had rooted using One Click Lag Fix and sideloaded a couple of apps using the Android Central sideloader, but aside from that I haven't done any major modding. I turned it on the other day and it went through the AT&T screen to the Galaxy S screen, but it froze there for about ten minutes. I pulled the battery and tried it again but the same thing happened.
I called AT&T and they sent me a new Captivate. I now have two questions.
1) Is there any way to get my contacts off of my old Captivate? They were NOT synced with Gmail.
2) Should I flash the stock ROM onto my old Captivate that I am sending back to AT&T? I am worried about them saying that it is out-of-warranty because it was rooted.
PLEASE HELP

Yes absolutely put it back to stock or they most likely will charge you for a new phone. You're going to wanna remove all traces of rooting as that is a violation of the warranty and you will not receive any warranty work, repair or
Replacements.

Sad to say but no. Your contacts can't be recovered if you can't boot the phone.
Yes flash stock before you send it back. You should also find that it may boot once you do, if it does then you might be able to get your contacts back.
On a side note. Should always flash stock before calling att as it will normally fix your issue.

[Q] Captivate 2.2 [Official] Lag problems

Just finished installing the official 2.2 release on my Captivate (problem free). Before installing I backed up everything to my SD card via titanium, then removed the lag fix, and did a hard reset / format using the dialer code, verified everything was wiped and all the internal storage was wiped clean (although MCR scripts and superuser didn't go away).
first reaction, THE LAG IS HORRIBLE. hoping it was a result of crapware, I rooted via SuperOneClick, reinstalled Titanium from the market, and removed all the ATT crapware, rebooted, and it is no better.
I've restored my apps and everything except facebook contact syncing seems to be working great, but the lag is awful! often I wait 3, sometimes 5 seconds before a screen click is even recognized.
are there any lag fixes that have been tested on, or at least suggested for the official 2.2 release?

what lagfix did u use

I assume you are referring to the one used on 2.1, I don't remember the name, but it used MCR Scripts and was installed with an update.zip. once installed you ran MCR Scripts and "installed" the lag fix with 2 options, either 512mb or 1gb of space, and a third option to remove the lagfix
I ran the remove option before doing the upgrade

I thought I read that voodoo didn't work with 2.2, only 2.2.1

I'm running stock 2.2 with no lag. I formatted my external sd and that fixed my initial lag problem

If i understand you, you had lag problems after upgrading to 2.2, and then resolved them by formatting the external (removable) sd card?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

I just upgraded and it seems very snappy to me. It's not my everyday phone anymore so I don't have a SIM or external SD in but from just fooling around with it for about a half hour it moves nicely! About to root now and remove the bloatware

That was solved months ago. Go to the dev section, download the 5.x voodoo + stock KB1 kernel odin file, and flash it on. Phone will take a while to boot back up, but will tell you it is converting partitions to ext4. Once it comes back, you will see the amazing speedup from getting rid of the piece of **** known as RFS.

Is there anyway I can get lagfix by itself? I have no computer so id just like to download to phone, put in root and goto recovery mode.

Reading does wonders for problem solving.

Yes hello I can read. I have NO COMPUTER to run odin on. Is it really that hard to not be a smartass and help someone out???? Really??? If Im still asking obviously im overlooking it. ONCE AGAIN I HAVE NO COMPUTER SO ODIN IS OUT OF THE QUESTION
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897 using XDA App

If its that much of a lag, then something didn't load right. I'm on stock 2.2 wirth no lag. Its just about as fast as oclf. But, if you read the [official] froyo update thread, people kind brush on what ideas to try. Most of them say, like I said, something want loaded right. Good luck.

No ones answering because a search with one word gives him the info he needs. He just refuses to read and wants the info handed to him on a silver platter.

Respect goes along way in these forums. How did you expect people to reply to this? Everyone understands you have no pc. Yelling is going to get you no where. The hour you spent waiting for a reply, could have been used to do a search for it, find it and do it.

Ok so....i found the
voodoo 5 stable for 2.2.1 yes I know I only have 2.2
downloaded it
renamed it
put it in /sdcard
rebooted to recovery with CWM clicked reinstall packages
Went through its process and said it failed..could not verify or something. Is this not the way to do it? I did it on 2.1 same way w/eclair approved voodoo and it worked just fine. And I apologize for getting upset its just a little tedious doing all this searching on a small phone screen.

Froyo uses 3e recovery I believe so it will not install any update.zips the only way I know of is using an alternate recovery...a kernel with 2e recovery or going the custom rom route like torch 1.5 or cog 4 in the dev section which use the new froyo

And for your no computer issue...i suggest you find mcdonalds or a neighbor and use the wifi and download one of those custom roms directly to your phone that have a lagfix included with root and no bloat. I do this all the time when I am in the field. Just some suggestions I hole they help and I understand your frustration.

Yeah, thats because it just comes right back shortly.

I was able to stop it. An hour later it has yet to start running. All stock here

I'm totally stock as well, and it came back pretty quickly. It may get re-activated if you use an app or such, but it definitely came back for me...

Oh well... after about 2 hours it came back... and now pops back on in seconds when I stop it
I guess no way to stop this with out root?

FACT: You can not disable it being on stock. To remove it you would need to root and flash a custom rom with it removed. Just letting you all know. Check out the skyrocketeer rom in dev section, its awesome
Also, for the people that are scared to root because of voiding warranty, there are two easy solutions.
1. Just unroot it, flash a stock rom or something.
2. Brick your phone by some means and if your rooted but it doesnt power on, they can not tell you rooted it. Just tell them you woke up and it was like that or something..

[Q] OTA being rolled out again, any different?

http://support.t-mobile.com/docs/DOC-2362
I downloaded the original GB update back in July, just saw this and haven't had a chance to try it. Anyone know if it is an update over the previous "fix". I sure hope it is, just did the daily battery pull about ten minutes ago. It would be nice to get that fixed.

Nope its 2.3.3
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App

Right, I assumed that would probably be the case. I was talking about the other stuff kernals/basebands or anything at all that could possibly be different which would actually fix this phone.
A friend is downloading it now (he was still on froyo) we will compare and let you guys know if anything appears to have been updated over the first "update/fix".

Ok , it's exactly the same
2.6.32.9

SongPoP does not WORK!

Hey XDA members,
Ive updated to the latest SKY ICS R-3. i must say it is the best ROM I've used and always looking for the latest update.
the only problem I'm having is running Song Pop app. I'm addicted to it and SKY ICS will not let it load. it starts up and then a blue screen thats all.
any help here would be greatly appreciated

Yup. Couldn't get it to work at all on skyICS. which sucked because I wouldn't get rid of that ROM, but got JB now and it works!

I'm having the same issue. I upgraded from sky ics 4.2e to 4.2f(non dragon) and it worked on my old ROM, but not since I updated. I posted in the sky ics post earlier... no replies yet hope we can figure something out. I can even help get debug if people need it, I just don't know enough to change code... I only know Linux, not java programming.

Currently running the newest SKY-ICS 3.0, and SongPop still does not work. Tried everything, including installing the last Adobe Flash Player with a Flash Installer. Adobe Flash Player runs just fine, but still no SongPop. Had the same problem with Screenshot from Google Play today, as far as force closing, and the same error message. Uninstalled Screenshot, and reinstalled it, works fine now. I did notice the last time I uninstalled, and reinstalled SongPop, it said a shortcut was already on my home screen, but I had just uninstalled it. Maybe it's not truly uninstalling all the way to get a fresh install. I don't know, but SongPop not working on SKY-ICS is the only thing that sucks for me.
Just for ****s n giggles, SongPop support sucks ass. I tried seeing if they knew what was up, and all they do is dance around the problem. Told them all of what was going on in my first comment on there, phone, o/s version, and exactly what was happening. The tech replies with, please reply with all of this info including SongPop username, phone, o/s, sreenshot of when it's failing. I was kinda harsh, and told him I already posted most of it in my previous post, and then sent another reply with username, and a couple screenshots. One of the blackscreen when it f/c's and another one of the error message. Next reply is, try uninstalling, and reinstalling SongPop. In my first comment, I already stated that I have done this many times, along with clearing cache, data, and even did a fresh install of this ROM to make sure none of my other apps, and or settings was screwing with it. Next reply is, We're sorry you're having this isssue, please check back often to see if your problem is fixed. Also, each time they reply to new comments, they close your help request, and mark it as solved. It took me 6 days to get told, sorry it's not working, and we'll try to fix it.

Works fine on CM10/AOKP. Sky-ICS is dead. Switch to a newer ROM.

try using the libCore.so from adobe air:
1. Install the lastet adobe air from google play
2. Copy the file libcore.so from /data/data/com.adobe.air/lib/libCore.so to /data/data/air.com.freshplanet.games.SongPop*/lib/libCore.so , you can use a file explorer like cm explorer or the terminal.
3. Start playing
