Love the fact we are on GB, but the charging issue is forcing me f to revert to v4. After Cezar gets the bugs worked out, ill be back to v5.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
If you pull it off the charger right when it reaches 100% you won't have the problem.

no charging issue here either
[Captivate Android Development] Harbinger1080:
I have this problem, too... Happens when the phone is on, and charging. It dings 100%, and then appears to start using the battery from that point forward, but the display still says 'charged'.
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Im guessing he is saying it stops charging when it hits 100%? That would make sense because I pulled mine off the charger this morning after an all night charge (was at 92% when I went to sleep) and it was at 76% within 5 minutes. I just assumed it was because the battery calibration was off, but I could've been wrong (as I have been many, many times before haha).

Only happens a few times. Drain fully and recharge to full and delete battery stats and should be good.

[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
if you change the default keyboard to samsung the fc on the about screen goes away - and then when you change it back to another 3rd party keyboard it happens agaain
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Switch keyboard to either Samsung or swype. Its a problem with GB keyboard and swift key that I know of.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
what keyboard do you have enabled? Apparently there is an issue where it crashes unless you use the stock samsung keyboard.

edit: im too slow, and swype is ok to use!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
What problem are you having exactly.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
smart keyboard as well.. at first it didnt happen and now its happening again

the animation when unlocking the phone. It used to do a moving page type animation
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
Do you mean the "screen on" animation like in this video?

[YOUTUBE]zdWaDS_CIqI[/YOUTUBE]

..because I'm pretty sure my phone never had that. Would be sweet to have along with the "screen off" animation (which works great).
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
It did? When you are unlocking the phone? I don't know of it.
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
yeah i have that animation. after you do the unlock screen the image on the screen flies away revealing the home screen.

he is not talking about the crt wake animation, just an unlock animation that many roms have. though it would be cool to enable the wake animation as well!
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
Any word on the battery charging issue? It seems to have just gotten ignored and I don't want to let it get too buried hana.

[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
i didnt notice any battery charging issue
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
Lot's of people have mentioned it. I noticed it too, there seems to be a draining issue when the phone is left on the charger after it has reached 100%
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
The unplugging and only having 80% charge issue? Cezar saw it and is looking into it. I don't have it I always see 100 when I unplug, I guess I'm just lucky.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Several times while on, only once off.

If it matters, my phone is a1007.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Well that would depend on what them he is running and if/what animation was included. My mattedblues port does that. Cause I UOT'd the rudolf animation in the theme.
[Captivate Android Development] mprinceiii:
just flashed B3 and mattedBlues theme. enjoying the experience so far, will report back with more information when i can
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Guys I had the 75% charge issue the first couple of charges but not for the past 2 days. Just fully drain the battery and recharge and you should be ok. Clear the battery stats file once fully charged just like a regular battery calibration.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Tried. Didn't help.
[Captivate Android Development] Harbinger1080:
Same here-- I've run it down at least 5 times since first flashing B1, and twice since flashing B3. I've wiped stats after flashing each, and after I topped it off on B3. It doesn't appear to have changed anything.

EDIT: it's definitely not a charging issue as i've normally encountered them-- it is charging completely, but begins to decharge even while still connected to power. it appears that when it hits 100% it just stops charging entirely.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I have the GB Boot loaders so no problem there. I was just wondering I needed to use ODIN still to flash modems and kernels. I guess they will be okay in ZIP mode from CW.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
You have to wipe stats when it is at 100% and not before.

I talked to a friend and he has seen the behavior described by some with the soft boot. Seems to be kernel. I'm sure xcal is looking at it.
[Captivate Android Development] stangri:
While powered on and plugged into charging source. The charging reaches 100% and then phone starts using battery even tho it says "charging". Once you unplug the phone it shows an actual battery charge then (way below 100% since the battery was used and the phone has never resumed charging).

PS. Loving the screen off animation. Any idea if you could implement the screen on animation as well?
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
Gingerbread Screen Off is that old TV power off design, right? Then might I ask an option to turn that off, if one is possible?

I wish Android would stay basic. Google is getting too artsy with this.

[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
It's not really using the battery after hitting 100%. It's just not really reaching 100% to begin with.

Force it to 100% and then delete battery stats.

Turn off animations in display settings. easy enough.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Turn off animations in the settings menu or go in spareparts and change the animations to fast.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
Never thought I'd see someone that actually dislikes the old TV animation :eek: :rolleyes:

Wow take a few days off, and look what I come back to :-) looks like I have some reading to do.
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I like the signature animation
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea.... get on it!
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Yesterday I drained my battery until it could not turn on anymore and started charging while powered down before going to bed. When I woke up, I made the sure the battery indicator while its shut off show 100% so I turned on the phone and put it into recovery to delete the battery stats. When the phone did its first boot, I noticed the battery was at 92% already and it had only been unplugged for less than 2 minutes!
[Captivate Android Development] thehyecircus:
What are the other animations it disables?
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
Changing the lock screen fixed it Thanks!!
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You have windows and transition animations. All uses both and some disables transition animation but still leaves crt animation. If you set both in spareparts though... keeps the animations but disables the crt animation.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
exactly what dani897 is mentioning. about the screen flying away animation...

Well i noticed that animation when I flashed mattedblues -- not sure if it was just on that theme maybe?

and that wake animation is pretty cool too!
[Captivate Android Development] rmntruexjr:
I figured out how I can move installed apps to internal sd (usb storage). when I click the button to move I get an error saying it cant move it and low memory, but if I click on the same button again it moves it. In other words I just had to try twice to get each app moved.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yea it is part of mattedBlues. So you don't have that anymore?
[Captivate Android Development] Harbinger1080:
I would normally agree with you... but that's not what's happening here.

I started testing my phone today, observing battery levels during charging. I unplugged it as soon as I saw it hit 100%-- it stayed there, and went down as expected with some wifi usage. Next, I let it hit 100% again, and started using wifi as much as possible, and kept it connected. After about 30-40 minutes I checked the battery in About Phone/Status and it had dropped to 96%.

The battery absolutely was dropping, even while the phone was connected to the charger, even though it said it was charging.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
That sucks, because that was awesome. I flashed PD remix and loving it.. anyway to incorporate that same thing into the PDremix port?
[Captivate Android Development] rnewton01:
pretty sure it is using it. i've taken it off after 100% and battery still shows that or 99% after unplugging it.... then plug it back in for a few hours, take it off, and it shows 86%.

not the same as the 2.2.1 kernels that just dropped to 97% or whatever when you took it off the charger before.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Ok so when you do unplug and it shows 100%, use the battery calibration app from market and wipe the stats as soon as you plug it in again and see how it goes.

[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
I've had the same experience as you. If I take it off right when it reaches 100% it's fine but if I leave it charging for a few more hours it reads 80%.
[Captivate Android Development] IDoMy0wnRacing:
Cezar, you really out did yourself with this OP. Very informative, very well laid out and easy to follow.

Helllo friends,

I have been experiencing a abnormal thing. While using the phone the screen shows the bootanimation "Android" for few seconds and then i get the unlock screen. Then it starts Media Scanning. I never came across such a porblem. And this thing is happening 2-4 times a day. Is it a feature of rom or there is some problem.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
Cezar,

Have you seen the safe method of flashing Gingerbread over Froyo, described in the http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1047924 by SDeba in the I9000 forum?

Can it be used for Captivate by flashing bootloaders and the kernel described in that thread and then flashing C5 beta 3 using CWM on top of it?
[Captivate Android Development] nephets0:
I had minie do it about 20 minutes ago... its like a hot reboot... probably something in the kernal...
[Captivate Android Development] pizz0wn3d:
This looks interesting. Seems like it could help those that want to jump ship from froyo later on.

I haven't experienced this... yet. haha.

It does seem to be kernel, I've seen somewhere a person saying it could be somehow related to the modem. When it does that, put the phone in flight mode for a few seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
It's some bug in using ASOP lock screen with auto-rotate. I disabled my auto-rotate and it never happened again.
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Unlikely, it had happened with TW and Sony launchers as well
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Or don't use the android lock screen.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I am frankly not sure how safe it is as you are still flashing bootloaders.

I read it in some thread, don't exactly remember which, that the generally bootloaders are flash some where in middle of the whole flashing process as there are more chances of stuff going wrong in the beginning (like ODIN crashing), so even if things go wrong, your bootloader is safe and you end up with a soft brick rather than hard. Now if you just flash bootloaders that is not exactly possible.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Yeah thought about that, but I like to switch between vibrate and sounds from lock screen, and it is the only one that allows. The rotary one toggles between sounds on and complete mute (no vibration)

So it was between auto rotate and sound toggle for me... I chose latter ;)
[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
There is no 100% safe method of flashing bootloaders
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
For those looking for a safe way to flash bootloaders: have you ever heard of a safe way to flash	a bios on your PC? There is none. You are always taking a chance when you do that. If you are willing to take that chance you can enjoy this our any other Gingery rom, if you don't you are stuck with Froyo.

Always make sure your USB cable is safely connected and don't touch a thing when flashing is done.
[Captivate Android Development] mrcpu:
Flashed beta3 and matt's muted theme. Seems to be working great. Love the transitions, and the tv-style power off is just great.

I lost my dialer and messages apps lol im trying to download something from the market too and i get that it was unsuccessful. Any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
clear data on the launcher ... setting>applications>manage applications>all>twlauncher>clear data. this can also be done in titanium backup

or change launchers
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I just drew a blank on how to clear the data from the launcher
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
i dont know what your market problem is though, clear data on that too maybe
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I cleared the launcher defaults and got my dialer back by choosing the GB launcher instead of the tw one. Cleared market data and still cant download anything hmmm
[Captivate Android Development] Dani897:
clear the twlauncher data if you plan to ever use the tw one. same location as the defaults anyway.

for all i know it might fix the market for you as well, though that would be weird, i have seen weirder on this phone

the missing icons are because the twlauncher doesnt display apps in the drawer that are in the dock, there must be some config file that shows what goes where but the modified launcher must not be able to use that data. it is a problem on gtg's 5-icon launcher for 2.2 as well.
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Thank the Lord! Lol
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
ahh i see then. Still cant download from the market. Im going to try and flash mattedblues just to see if it continues. At this point im just trying anything, if this doesnt work back to stock i go and re do everything.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Before you flash matted blues re flash beta 3.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
too late, it flashed ok though and it booted. Can i reflash B3 while im on mattedblues with NO problems?
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Yes, then you'll have to flash the theme all over again after. You should never just goo theme to theme. Could cause problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Thanks, shoman you have any clue why my market wont let me download anything?

also keep getting notifications that my google talk authentication failed

Alright im going back to stock and going to reflash everything.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Did you flash beta 3 yet? Make sure it work there first. If so go to cwm and clear dalvik cache before flashing the theme.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
yea B3 was flashed already and it wasnt working. I want to go back to stock for a fresh start. Using odin one click to stock and then flashing using the other odin is the way to go right? im on a 1007 device if that matters
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You don't need to go back to 2.1. Just flash beta 1 no boot then cwm beta 3

Edit: beta 1 will write fresh.

Well heres my stupid question of the day, if I download this and decide the bugs are too much to work with can I revert back to froyo would I need to odin back because of the bootloaders or are the ginger loaders compatible with froyo roms
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
If you're asking about focus then yws, it focuses before takin pictures
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Guys, after b4 this will be a release candidate. Most of the bugs are fixed. The only one remaining is that charge stop after it reaches 100%. ill be flashing stock JVB and check if it exists there as well. If it does... Well, that will take a bit to solve as is samsung "official/final" firmware. If is in stock as well i wonder what kind of drunk people they employ there that can let such a bug escape.
[Captivate Android Development] demonte21:
Can anyone else confirm there is a battery drain issue when setting an Exchange e-mail account with the e-mail app?

Without any exchange account set, I got about 1% /hour battery drain which is awesome. As soon as I set my exchange account, I got 8% to 15%/hour battery drain... my phone last about 9 hours and the battery is depleted.

As soon as I remove the Exchange account, the battery is back to normal drain.

I remember from Eclair (2.1) there was a similar bug.

Thanks!

The best part of gingerbread that i like is that when i restart my phone and go check the battery use, the time continues instead of resetting like previous roms. Its great to know that I can reset my phone to install a theme/kernel/modem and the usage time doesnt reset
[Captivate Android Development] antonyvijai:
Wow! When it becomes a full release candidate (out of beta) I am planning to transition from continuum v4. Rightnow, I am a bit reluctant given all the small issues that are typical for a beta version also I love my current C4 with crysis theme, HC puzzle unlock screen and a window animation mod cooked in UOT! I see there are some cool themes already ported to 2.3.3 but the bootloaders step is kind of scaring me :-)

EDIT : Please see my other post. I tried to run the .exe file (after extracting from the odin .zip) but my windows 7 stops it and removes the file because of security threat! I don't know how to flash this wonderful ROM without the ability to access the odin posted in the OP

The sync start and end time can't set to midnight.

The notification email keep increase number of email that haven't been read even I don't have any new email.
[Captivate Android Development] jacorso:
I noticed the same thing but I think this is a reporting problem with the number of bars and not the actual signal. Right now my WiFi is showing no bars and just the little green dot while my signal reported by WiFi Analyzer is around -55dBm which is excellent. Unfortunately my current AP does not report the signal strength from connected devices which is equally important.

It's a good idea to always take the number of bars reported by WiFi with a grain of salt as there isn't a signal strength to number of bars standard so they can mean anything. Knowing that though something is still amiss here.
