please dodnt typ lke a kd . ths s rlly fucking annoying!!!


what rom are you using? what kernel? what were you doing before it stopped working?


why would you run custom operating system software on your phone if you aren't good at technical stuff? sounds like you are waiting for trouble and hoping someone else can fix it and read your mind because you are bad a explaining the technical stuff you dont understand??


heres how to fix....
flash to stock with odin one click .[Stock ROMs](OneClicks Master Collection)
LEAVE IT LIKE THAT.

DOWNLOAD INSTRUCTIONS:
-Perform a factory reset on your phone. (Optional, recommended)
-Download any OneClickOdin package to your desktop.
-Be sure you have the Captivate drivers installed on your computer.
-Right click and Run as admistrator the Odin.

-Put your phone into download mode. (Press and hold both volume buttons and insert USB cable into phone)
-Wait for Odin to recognize your device. Yellow com port will light up.

sounds really odd, did you flash a new kernel? anything different at all? Have you tried rebooting?

I've had this happen to me a number of times (more often then not when flashing a ROM or back to stock). In my experience this is b/c I've lost my APN. Anyway I check this first:

SETTINGS --> ABOUT PHONE --> STATUS --> MOBILE NETWORK STATE = Disconnected

Then I head over to here:

SETTINGS --> WIRELESS & NETWORK --> MOBILE NETWORKS --> ACCESS POINT NAMES --> Here you should get prompted to enter an APN, click yes and follow the prompts and enter one manually with these settings:

Name: AT&T
APN: wap.cingular
Proxy: leave blank
Port: leave blank
Username:[email protected]
Password:CINGULAR1
Server: leave blank
MMSC: http://mmsc.cingular.com
MMS Proxy: wireless.cingular.com
MMS Port: 80
MCC:310
MNC:410
APN Type: MMS and Internet
Auth Type: none

Save and then select it and you should then connect no reboot required (well for me at least). This is one reason I always install the app "APN backup and restore". Of course you'll need to connect to a wireless network in order to connect to the market, etc... so I find it faster to just add one manually.

Hope this helps.
