[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
That must be USB charging.

From a wall socket I get 10% / 10 mins - 100% charge in ~100 mins.
[LG Optimus 2x] aMpeX:
USB is restricted to 100mA if the device doesn't "connect" to the USB port (identifies itself blabla)

If it does, standard USB is rated at 500mA for each port.

I recommend using the wallcharger, as those usually deliver more juice.
[LG Optimus 2x] TakenName:
Its not USB charge.. Connected to the "socket" in the wall...

I just noticed on the phone that battery condition is "overheated"....

This is the second phone I have with the same problem.....

oh.. and btw;

ive was done at work at 4pm, battery at 69%..

Now its almost 7pm, and its down to 25 %
[LG Optimus 2x] awf:
Non USB charging from 4% till 100% 2 hours :-)
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
That's probably bad... unless the fuses in your house (charge at home) are bad?

Way, too slow and it should not get hot.
[LG Optimus 2x] TakenName:
I put the phone in "Airplane" mode, and now it charge fast, and keeps the power/current(?)...

Since WiFi is allways disabled, it most be the phone connection that draws all the power out of it....
[LG Optimus 2x] djmcnz:
Plus you get free airpoints!
[LG Optimus 2x] wh1tekn1ght:
Experiencing some issues with charging too.

Under heavy load (for instance 3D games), even if my phone is charging with the wallcharger, my battery slowly discharge and my phone eventually shuts off automatically :(

I also noticed that my phone can get really hot. I had this issue with MCR fr8 and fr12 with and without calibration. No overclocking or fancy kernels. I'm now considering sending my 2x back to LG with an insult letter. :mad:

Anyone experiencing this issue as well? Any clue how to fix that (wallcharger > 1A for instance?)
[LG Optimus 2x] L10nH34Rt:
Supposedly the 2X has an issue with Radio usage. Using only 2G networks will improve it alot.

We are hoping for a fix in the Gingerbread ROM...

Also do you have the newest baseband installed when using FR12?
[LG Optimus 2x] wh1tekn1ght:
I already experienced this with fr8 and the old RIL so I don't think it's a baseband/RIL mismatch problem. I will see if fr12 and new radio improve things though.

Btw, I can see that phone/data layer takes up as much battery as wifi. Is that a normal ratio on an android phone? Can't remember battery usage on my previous phones.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Which one of these two ROMs give faster use experience? I have used cognition and serendipity. I felt serendipity to be somewhat faster..please let me know
[Captivate General] cappysw10:
IBTL.

This is subjective as all hardware is not the same. You need to find what works best for your setup and run with it.
[Captivate General] QuarkGluonSoup:
Neither are really faster, but you have to be careful because i9000 kernels are often incompatible with captivates and your phone will behave strangely if you flash the wrong kernel.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thanks. I am contemplating between cognition and serendipity. Hence the thread. Yes, I know I cannot mix modems and kernels.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thanks
[Captivate General] DAGr8:
I tend to believe since i9000 roms are always more recent (since att s**** at updates ) they will be faster , but since they were not made for captivate , less 'crisp' in some areas , all this is really subjective to the usage of the phone ..

There is middle ground here , like Andromeda and DRAGON rom , both NON based off i9000 roms neither captivate (i9010 & i9088 ) , using there original kernel you can use any modem you like , with no issues . And since there kernel did not need to be reoriented you dont lose any of the crisp , Andromeda being based of 2.2 is probably the closest to the Captivate source right now , Dragon being the latest kernel released by samsung is definitly the most stable and crisp kernel out there , there is no source for it but neither there is for the latest 2.2.1 out there either , like someone said in this thread what works best for you is what you shoudl use so dont hesitate and flash them all and please dont limit your testing to a few hours days is what you will nbeed to make up your mind ..
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thanks a lot.
[Captivate General] bobapunk:
i9000 ROMs should give you faster data speeds since the use HSDPA and HSUPA (i897 ROMs use HSDPA but not HSUPA).

i897 ROMs should give you better sound quality on calls since they utilized the noise cancellation audience chip which the i9000 does not have.

As far as ROM speed itself, I do not think that is based on which source is used, but on the actual ROM itself. What I mean is not all i897 ROMs will have the same performance, and not all i9000 will have the same performance.

That is the great thing about ROMs, try different ones and use the one you like best (or switch between several you like to keep it fresh!)
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thank you.
[Captivate General] sold1erjjt:
It's not necessarily the ROM that give you better sound quality or faster speed. That is in that is in the Modem and kernel. You can "basically" use any of the modems with "most" ROM's (BE VERY CAREFUL NOT ALL MIX. FOLLOW DIRECTION ON ROM THREAD). JK4 has really good speed and you can use that with most ROM's
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thanks a lot. I use eXistz beta 7 kernel on my cognition 4.2 ROM. Are you saying I can replace the KB1 modem? Are you recommending that I should replace KB1 with JK4. If I do that than probably I should replace my eXistz beta 7 kernel with either speedmod or suckerpunch kernels? One question is: how to do all this from CWM without doing odin back to stock and reflashing the whole stuff? Thanks
[Captivate General] bobapunk:
You can flash kernels and modems right over the rom without going to stock first.

SGS Tools is probably the easiest way.

FYI JK4 is an i9000 modem. Flashing it with a KB1 KERNEL may yield les than ideal results.
[Captivate General] antonyvijai:
Thank you! So, I need to change the modem and kernel at the.same time to make sure they are compatible! Got it.
[Adam General] cedricj:
Hello,

not sure i have seen a thread on this...

I tried stock, beast and Eden and each have a common issue:

Battery is draining in standby mode...

One night sleep and battery drop 40 percents...

I have a LCD 3G and see that phone idle is eating 50% of it...

Do i need it if i use 3g only for data and not phone?

Did you experience difference between using WIFI or 3G all the time?

Thanks

[Galaxy S I9000 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] D33KK:
I don't have any of the 3 button combos anymore (for some reason?) but I used to lol. I can't get into download mode or clockwork mod even through ROM manager, the phone simply reboots.

Because of the download mode problem, I can't access my phone via Odin, and the kies connection is sketchy, as it doesn't often connect to my I9000, it just sits at 'connecting..'.

Luckily its being connected today and I would like to update to 2.2 froyo!

My current software is 2.1update 1 and my firmware version is

PDA:JF3 / PHONE:JPM / CSC:JF3 (VOD)

I live in Scotland, and 2.2 has been released for i9000 in this location, but when I get connected to Kies, I get a message saying This version of the device cannot be updated.

Kies version: 2.0.0.11014_49

Create repeat events in Jorte

as I can see on my device, it is available in Jorte only when using Google Calendar in Jorte, not with Jorte calendar (see Jorte options, selection of the calendar).

Then, I can't find a way to create a daily event with a date limit (e.g. at 10:00AM for 1/2 hour for the next 4 days), while this is possible when accessing directly to Google Calendar web site.

[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] marvin02:
For some reason some apps won't update properly.

First go to:

Menu->Settings->Applications->Manage Applications

find the app and tap on the name. Then select the "Move to phone" button

Now hit the back button until you are at the main settings menu and then select SD Card & phone and tap on "Unmount SD Card"

Go back and mount your SD Card (same sub-menu).

Now update your app in the market. You can move it back to the SD Card when you are done updating if you wish.
[Streak 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] kaysola378:
That may work, except, I have uninstalled those programs (e.g Angry Birds) and reinstalled them from the market (after unmounting my SD card), which works, but now when trying to move them to the SD card, it says that it cannot....

This whole thing is getting rather frustrating, and it seems like there should be a deeper fix for this, instead of the hassle of unmounting, them mounting

You need to contact Google or the app devs then because this issue exists on multiple phones across multiple versions of Android.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] viny2cool:
Most of the custom roms don't require flashing to stock now a days. But if its mentioned in the instructions than I would do it.

But definitely you should disable lagfix and stuff before flashing over new rom.

If u flash any zip from stock froyo it gives you sign verification error. So u need to fix that a nd than just flash custom rom as u normally do
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Liv33viL:
Crash N Burn....Owch!

Sounds as though your bootloader got hammered.

Yes, as another posted, with 3e recovery you'll get a signing error, but there is a workaround, depending on your device and ROM you're using to have files pass through as if it were on 2e recovery. Another method is if one passes files that are unsigned. (only load if it's from a trusted source)

Is it possible you performed a nandriod backup before this debacle occurred?

If so, try a restore from recovery with your last nandroid backup. This should restore the bootloader and correct partitioning on your disk.

it works on all 2.2 stocks with 3e.

if you are rooted using "one click root 1.7" (NOT ODIN ONE CLICK!!!) you dont need adb commands just root explorer to mount and replace file. or use adb to mount and push file. the instructions in the thread have the 2 methods mixed together.

I'm not advertising for anyone. Just stating what I had to do to get my phone up and running. I get nothing for telling pepole who fixed my phone, my repairs are paid for already so its not like I'm getting a discount for telling people who fixed my phone.

I do however happen to feel that the person that fixed mine can do the same for others that have the same issue that I had. I would never try to push a service on anyone. I was just trying to help this person, not trying to sell him anything.

So no shameless plugs here, just honest info on what he will probably have to do in order to get his phone fixed. If I were that type of person I would have just gotten a free phone from att. But I'm an honest man so I paid for my repairs instead of lying to someone about my phone dying from trying to update with kies. I broke my phone so I paid to fix it and the person that fixed mine happens to be in my opinion a very good young man that has the know how to fix our phones when we mess them up.

You should have been able to tell by the first post that would not work.

Jigs don't fix black-screen bricks. Jigs don't really fix anything. A jig is only good on old phones. A jig is for old-non-updated phones without 3-button fix. That's it. It won't fix any problems. If his phone was going into download and recovery before, then using a jig will accomplish nothing.

JTAG is required. I will be publishing information about JTAG as soon as I can. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1000175

From what I can see, it takes a Parallel port, or an Arduino and some resistors for hardware. The software is my only question about what to use. I intend on covering the topic very well.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
Not entirely correct. I've managed to boot my Captivate from a black screen brick (doesn't turn on in any way, not even connecting the charger) twice. And this one came with the 3 button recovery.

The only way to truly brick your phone is if somehow Odin fails flashing the bootloader (boot.bin I think).

There is a device called RIFF Box (JTAG) that comes with the necessary hardware and software to fix a lot of phones. There is some soldering involved though.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] AdamOutler:
cumanzor, you are saying that you had a black screen and it would not turn in any way, shape or form, it had no AT&T logo, no way to get into the recovery, and no way to get into the download, it did nothing at all...

Then you plugged in a jig and it went into download? You're saying that a jig somehow restored your download mode? A resistor, made it possible for your phone which did not have firmware driving any of the buttons, go into download mode?

Or are you saying that your phone would boot to a black screen and you used a jig to put it into download mode? This is more likely. The same firmware that drives the buttons would be used to drive the search for amperage on the usb port.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cumanzor:
The former, yes, that's exactly what I'm saying. It wouldn't turn in any shape or form. The only thing it would do is getting a little warm after plugging in the usb cable for a while. Other than that, I wouldn't even get the charging screen when the phone was off. No AT&T screen, no recovery boot, not even the HW test some Captivates have (black screen with red characters I think). No USB + Vol Up and Vol Down download mode either. This is with a phone that had the 3 button recovery working perfectly before. I don't remember the version of Odin 1 click I used though, so there is a chance that the 3 button combo was disabled on that attempt. But even if that was the case, at the very least I would've been able to see the charging screen I think.

I am not saying that the jig restored the firmware. It didn't. The bootloader was still there, but for some reason it just didn't boot at all. I've had this same issue twice. First time, Odin got stuck and my phone displayed a purple screen. Second time it just got stuck. This time I even opened a ticket with Samsung to have it replaced because my home made jig wasn't working either. The next day I tried again with a little more patience and I got it to boot into download mode.
