Awesome work man! Hey could we get that battery icon to something clearer? the text is so small can't even read it lol. Everything looks great I'm going have my battery full all day so I can flash this new update when it comes out!!!

I been having some launcher Lag/FC issues because of Fancy Widgets is anyone else having these issues??
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Any progress made on charging issue?

Also, once my battery is charged, I get GREAT battery life. Yesterday I got nearly 4 hours on my display, and still had 30 something percent when I plugged in.

Cezar, even with charging problem, this is great. Since I can't seem to get of it, I'm gonna stick with this rom. When I get fed up with charging,ill flag back to C4. Thanks for your hard and tireless work in creating this masterpiece.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
I love this rom. A million thanks. Never seen such speed, stability, and battery life on my captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Well, it sat on the charger all night at 100% so if that's a bug, it's not bad, again I had the same issue on C4 so I have recallibrated battery now and I will watch what it does when I charge it tonight and take it off in the morning. I have 2 backup batteries so I am not too concerned.

I am having diffuculty syncing with Backup to Gmail app, says communication error when trying to restore sms and call logs, anyone else use this app having trouble?
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
It will be there :)
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Now imagine if Handcent wasn't destroying the battery.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I'm on continuum RC3 with the latest kernel, GB launcher (I gave up on TW4 because it was FC'ing) with the blacked-out Nexus S live wallpaper, about 80 apps installed (mostly restored from TB), auto-brightness, ext4, only the power control widget and the tweet deck post widget.

I wiped the battery stats before flashing the rom.

Let me know if there are any other settings you would like me to report, I haven't changed too many of them.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
lol yeah I know. You got to sacrifice something though. I haven't used the built in messaging since "cognition" :p
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
I do love the secret live wallpaper with the weather but it keeps google maps running too much in the backround and I can tell it's going to suck up battery, so far I've lost 2% in 30 minutes while doing nothing with the phone and it's chowing that it's using 12% and the screen 26%, I will leave it for a few hours and see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] grkmaster:
I dont get any battery loss with it on... I got 27 plus hours before a charge and 2 1/2 hours of on screen time .. Doesnt seem to bad to me.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
So i was on JVB bootloader and I was trying to flash to stock using Odin 3 and Icezar's package and it failed on me....Now its showing phone-!-computer....but i cans till go to Download mode...and Odin is seeing it but its failing...I even tried One click odin (by DG) and it remains on file analysis for some time and then say removed....

Any ideas guys?
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
can you get into recovery mode? If you can, you could try installing the rom again.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
cant get into recovery...just download mode...but none of the ODin is working for me...
[Captivate Android Development] EnemyOfGlaDOS:
When Odin doesn't work for me a restart of the computer usually fixes it for some reason.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
I might get some crap for this but... I think you should give AIO a chance if you haven't already. Same thing had happened to me once and it actually worked. Always have used odin but now it uses Heimdall.

[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
I had that same issue yesterday when updating the kernel from Talon 1.2 to 1.4 in ODIN 1.7.

I fixed it by closing ODIN, disconnecting the phone and pulling the battery for 30 seconds. After that I reopened ODIN, put the battery back in and entered download mode. Plugged the phone in and was able to flash the kernel. Are you trying to flash the JF6 with or without boot loaders?
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Yeah, glad it's working for you but it's killing my battery, maps is showing 28% and screen is only 13% and cell standby 13%, unplugged 1 hr 47 sec and I am down to 91 % in standby, no calls, no browsing, that's definately a problem. I am going to flash a theme and get rid of the live wallpaper as they are known to cause battery drain.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Have you tried disabling Latitude? Also disable any option that allows querying of your location.

This is a Google Maps issue, I've experienced this as well in CM7. You can try to "freeze" the app with TiBu, or uninstall it altogether to see if this is really the cause of your problem.

Is anybody else having memory problems? Tasker constantly reports that there is low memory, and sometimes my home launcher gets reloaded. This never happened under CM or any other Froyo ROM. I think it might be related to the browser.

Also, regarding the browser, while it flies, I really hate the overshoot/kinnetic effect. Is there any way to disable this?
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
So out of curiosity, what happened to Install method 0? That's what I used and it worked perfectly. That and the i9000 bootloader package is no longer in the 1st post.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Here this link explaining the gingerbread battery drain issue and a fix not a solution for it.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1039696
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I also had massive battery drain due to maps. I completely removed it. Since, battery life is outstanding. Also had to remove KTLO for same reason.
[Captivate Android Development] rjyanj:
I'm curious as well, I used the same method for my girlfriends Cappy and it worked perfectly -- running smooth w/ great battery and GPS (which is all she wants, she's a Foursquare addict) -- I love this ROM too.. no issues since the random reboots from the first RC.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
That method installed the bootloaders and ROM and took longer. His current method just installs the bootloaders and saves alot of time. It's just as safe.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Just curious how many people have converted their file systems to ext4? And actually noticed a difference? I still have not yet and honestly thought I already was on it due to the shear speed and stability of this ROM. :D
[Captivate Android Development] bavarianblessed:
Makes sense. Thanks for the clarification:)

I have converted. To be honest I only have seen a difference in benchmarks, a big difference. Daily usage feels pretty much the same after as it did before converting.
[Captivate Android Development] nyydynasty:
i have ext4 with no noticeable difference.
[Captivate Android Development] djencode:
I did and it's night and day. My quadrant scores went from 600 to 2000. And there was definitely a noticeable improvement in battery life and performance.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Same here. Not noticeable at all. Except benchmarks. Both are equally good for me.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
The thing is most people won't notice the difference between the two right away. However after a period of time people using the rfs filesystem will start to experience lag. It will start slow then get gradually worse. Most may not notice it because they flash so often.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
+1, no difference for me. Everything is running very smoothly overall just as it did while on rfs.

EDIT: Just saw nybmx post...that may be true...hardly on one flash long enough!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
You wanna see difference, go to Tweaks, in the app drawer, enable stagefright, deadline scheduler and in Voltage Control set the frequency to 1.2 GHz. Any sort of lag will dissapear. As well lagfix needs to be enabled.

And for the hell of it make a quadrant benchmark (yuk)

I apologize, no release today, waiting for a cherry for the cake
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
+1. Don't see obvious improvement except for benchmarks.

One note of caution, I used the ext4 app to convert the file system. After conversion, I started to get FC all over the place. I rebooted and it does not help. Seem like something messed up during the conversion.

I re-flashed RC3 and afterward everything work. I use ext4 tool to check and file systems have been converted to ext4.

This is FYI just in case other run into the same issue.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Thanks for letting us know. I can go do something else until tomorrow :D

JK4 modem (or better)

I noticed that my speeds were much better using the JK4 FROYO I9000 modem. My friend at work has JK4 installed and I confirmed that he is getting consistently better data transfer speeds. Does anyone know where I can get a JK4 model for gingerbread? I saw on a previous post that some people were using JVK with success; any links to a flashable .zip for this modem? Do I have to do anything to set 850 MHz as the default?

Other than the data speed issue, this ROM and kernel (using the latest 1.4) are AWESOME!!
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
CWM 3 flashable modems.

[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
I am testing out GR-11 and my battery isnt what it was on Continuum, if i wanted to come back i would just flash talon with odin then flash RC3 in cwm3 right?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I have installed that way. I also cleared the cache after installing the kernel but before installing the ROM. I am not sure if clearing the cache is required but I have read it can prevent problems.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
HOLY *$&@. That just goes to show this phone cannot be measured with Quadrant. FWIW it was 2855.
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Alright i hope it all goes well, i knew i shouldnt have went wandering off to other ROMs lol
[Captivate Android Development] Adaptive13:
thank you for the modems! I flashed JVK and am getting the same not so good data speeds. Is there something I need to do to specify 850?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
I am not sure about the GB roms but Showman has a thread which goes into detail on different modems. Hope it helps.

Charging issue

Another note on the charging "issue". Last night I ran down my battery to 2%, charged it all night and woke up to battery icon saying 100%. Unplug and it showed 88%, then I plugged the phone back in for 30 minutes while I was getting ready, turn screen on before unplugging and it shows 100% again, unplug it and it shows 94%. I still had some time so I decided to plug it back in, and leave the screen on. The phone showed it was charging from 94%, then I let the screen cut off. Unlocked the phone like 15 seconds later and it showed 100% again. Plugged the phone back in again, it starts charging again and then after the screen cuts off it shows 100% again.

It's like it the battery reaches a certain voltage or current and the charger or phone thinks the battery is full, but then when you remove the current it drops and shows the actual charge level of the battery maybe? Maybe the gingerbread source code reads different voltages or currents at different charge levels than froyo did, or does the gingerbread source code think that a lower voltage is "100%"? Sorry for bringing this up again, just an observation I made today.

This "charging/discharging" of the battery is my ONLY minor issue with Continuum5 RC3. Even with only "94%" I'm getting good/great battery life, and it's only getting better. Seems the worse killer of battery life for my phone is wifi, so I have it to off when screen is off and I make sure when I leave a wifi area I turn it off completely.

EDIT: Also forgot to mention that I'm using the Secret wallpaper #1, and it's not using any kind of battery on my phone, doesn't even register on the battery stats. I have it set to poll every hour.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Previously, with froyo roms, a specific order was needed (the modem dance). Most people have reported its not necessary on GB. To verify, in the dialer type *#2263#, select combi-bands. There should be an asterick next to all freqs. If 850 isnt selected, tap on it, then menu. Select key input(orsomething like that). Place one asterick in the space provided, hit enter (maybe it says ok). Menu again, back. Check combi bands again. 850 should be selected.
[Captivate Android Development] Adaptive13:
That was a great link. Everything seemed fine for the modem settings already so I will test the DL/UL speeds over time to see if anything changes.
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
Thanks rselvaggio, I'll probably flash the next release (candidate?) of continuum, but until then, this will do :))
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Thats the charging issue. once the battery reaches what it thinks is full it stops charging. Problem is, it usually doesn't restart charging when it drops below its low limit threshold.

As far as battery life, its just unreal. I got nearly 4 hours of display time, and still had 30 something percent. Like you, the charging issue is my only problem.

Did you mention if auto rotate was on or off?lol
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
I'm fully aware that it is the "charging" issue, kind of why I called it that :), I've had it since the beginning of Continuum V5. I was just trying to add a little more detail, who knows someone who may be able to figure this out/fix it may read these forums :rolleyes:. And auto rotate is always off, I hate landscape mode.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Sorry to sound stuffy. Got you mixed up with a different poster. I remember you saying that. Like I said before, never have to much info on this. It probably should have a thread of its own. Thanks for posting.

[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
As a noob with Continuum5 then a soft brick. I am a little shy of not following procedure. Now that I'm back to running I Odin PDA'd talon 1.4 kernel.

So how do I load v5rc3? After all, the other roms I flashed forced me to flash back to Eclair. I don't imagine the same holds here.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
If you follow the OP closely, you will be fine. Just read, read and read it again until you feel confident.

Good luck. :)
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You don't want to test modem speeds during the day with high tower usage. No matter what modem you have it will give very random numbers during busy time.
[Captivate Android Development] vin1993:
quick noob question, when the next update of continuum comes up, do i just download the rom and install it through some such as rom manager? or do i go into download mode and do it? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
Um, wow. That really is noticeable. I'm someone who hardly noticed any performance differences with any lagfixes, roms (incl. CM), etc

But I really can see it with those tweaks you mentioned.

Thanks for the tips!

[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
What I did to make sure I didn't mess it up was install stock GB using the instructions in the guide thread(it pretty much holds your hand, and all the necessary files are included and labeled), then I loaded CRC3 with confidence.
[Captivate Android Development] mark1962nc:
At this point I just follow whatever the OP directs......

If the man says "flash while standing on your head" then that is exactly what I'm going to do!!!!

Cezar hasn't steered me wrong yet!

Im having a strange issue, whenever I toggle wifi I loose all cell signal for about 5-10 sec. Is anyone else experiencing this issue?

Btw. Running rc3 with talon 1.4
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
5-10secs are you kidding? It does not seem important issue.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
Any themes?

Samsung Galaxy S i896 on Cezar's Continuum v5 GingerBread
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
your signal disappears.... did you load a theme?

EDIT: GB has a feature where it changes the color of the signal icons when there is not data connection... so if the themer took these icons out.... that could happen.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
How are you guys enable ext4? I've had some issues. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] kytrauma:
First off I didn't say is was a huge issue. But being as I have no 3g in my area at all, I am on and off wifi a lot thruout the day. So it is kinda a big deal for me although it might not be for you. But thanks for your valuable input into this matter.
[Captivate Android Development] kytrauma:
Prob the theme it didn't cross my mind thanks for the quick replies
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
You can use the ext4 app in the drawer.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
If you have Wifi, may be you should just leave Wifi on. Switching between Wifi and 3G data would consume some battery. Sorry you are having this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Hmmm, tried that and phone froze. Or should it take a really really long time?
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I ran into problem after using the app. Applications started to FC all over the place. So I have to reflash the ROM. Run ext4 again and it show the file systems were converted to ext4. Chalked it up to app bug and move on with my life... :-)
[Captivate Android Development] dude_uuk:
hi Cezar, that is good to know. I am a big fan of your work since your first Continuum rom and still running C4 because of its flawless-ness...just getting curious in flashing your new C5 but just want to make it really sure with what I am doing...:)

But again, great work and thank for nth time...:)
[Captivate Android Development] markmunsch:
Weird, I just fully charged my phone by usb charging because I was sitting at my computer. The first strange thing was that was the fastest it's ever charged by just usb, from 5% to full charge in 2 maybe 3 hours. Second is that it charged fully to 100%, when I pulled it off the charger it showed 99%. I am definitely going to test more tomorrow, but maybe this isolates the GB charging issues to just the AC wall charger.

Will definitely test the charging again and see if it will discharge while only connected as usb charging at full charge, or if it will stay at 100%. I'm also going to test my non-samsung wall charger to see if there's a difference. Just wanted to share.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I am running unthemed C5 RC3 with Talon 0.1.4 and found a issue with the camera. I tried to take a picture with 8% battery and got the low battery warning and the app closed. Charged the camera to 25% and had no issues. I noticed one of the features of the ROM is low battery camera usage so I figured I'd report this small issue.
[Captivate Android Development] p1gnone:
thanks, it just surprises me a little that I can flash files Roms and kernels both using Odin and then I still use Clockwork for ROMs or updates.. All in file format I suppose, that is how it has been prepared.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Yeah, I've been trying to figure out all of that too. I will say that I followed Cezar's instructions 3 times now (very carefully and slowly) and have successfully loaded GB bootloaders and then back to the old bootloaders with no issues.

However, each time I run Odin knowing that I can fully brick my phone, I am in a mild panic until I know it is complete. I have bricked my phone several times in the past before GB because I didn't take my time and follow all of the instructions. A Senior Member once posted the same sentiment I gave you about read, read and read again and I took that to heart and haven't been disappointed since.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
I use the wall charger and have no charging issue.
[Captivate Android Development] bluerap04:
I've noticed pretty much the same. Phone charges FAST, and if I'm by the phone when it reaches 100% and unplug it, it will hold the high charge (97%+). The charger issue occurs when I'm asleep; after it reaches 100% something causes the phone to drain at a higher rate than normal standby.
