Hi guys,
Froyo's update for the Captivate from Rogers is finaly here.
I followed the post here.
Every time I started the updated process, the updated module crashed on my main computer, so I installed Kies on my Gateway notebook, and it well very well.
A few notes:
- It may take a few times before Kies recognize the phone. in my case, I would say about 1 time for 3 tries. I tried using different USB ports, with a hub, without hub, there was nothing I could do to improve the recognition.
- Even when it works, Kies takes a long time before finding the phone, I would say 2-3 minutes at least.
- When you need to get the phone in download mode, do so after the pop-up message (You'll see it, you can't miss it), but do it quickly. I had to try twice before it worked. including the many times Kies would not find the phone, so it can get a bit frustrating.
The update itself went smoothly. I did not have to backup anything, every application I had is still there. I had to reinstall and reconfigure a few widgets, but that's it.
I just tried the GPS, and I got a fix in about 10 seconds, which is even faster than with the previous rom.
Right now, I would say that I am glad I waited to get the official ROM. It took a long while, but everything seems to run very smoothly. We'll see if it is still true in the long run.
