Resolved question

Finally got Gingerbread for my Captivate...

by tech_ninja_81 - 2/6/12 10:42 AM

...but now I am having weird issues.
First, every time I plug it into a PC or wall charger, it locks up for a second and gives me an error that "The application TetheringManager (process com.tecace.tetheringmanager) has stopped unexpectedly." It pops up this error repeatedly as it is plugged in. It generates the same error when I unplug it, usually twice.

The second (so far) is that my SMS message threads are out of order, but only when messages are in rapid succession. LIke if one comes in, and I immediately reply to it within the same minute, it will go above the message I am replying to.

I want to make sure you have tried what others did such as http://www.samsungcaptivateforum.com/samsung-captivate-updates/gingerbread-rolled-out-to-att-yesterday-now-getting-%27tetheringmanager%27-error/ and quite a few other discussions.

I don't have any NEW ideas on this since it appears to be solved by unrooting and hard resets.

Suggest factory reset...

I have a Captivate that was running Froyo (after previously being upgraded from Eclair) and it is not rooted. I was getting this error after the Gingerbread update. I was having some other issues so I decided to factory reset (which reformats/removes your data but keeps the Gingerbread update). That seemed to do the trick for me. I did not see the tethering error after that.

(I still have many other issues but that's a different story since I think the Captivates are a line of lemon phones.)

You should have upgraded to "Jelly Doughnut" and skip "Gingerbread".

Just kidding. laugh

In all seriousness, did you get the Gingerbread update from your carrier or did you manually install it. Your phone may simply may not have the resources/requirements to operate correctly on that operating system. Kind of like trying to install MS Windows 7 on a computer previously using Windows 95.

Gingerbread

I'm guessing since the original poster wrote this recently (2/6) that it's probably the official AT&T Gingerbread release for the Samsung Captivate since that just came out a couple of weeks ago. But that's just my guess.

I tried all the solutions online, but in the end I had to do a full factory reset. This fixed the problem (*a few weeks ago, sorry for the lag :$ )
