So 5.5 seems good so far.... I just wish the power menu were disabled in the camera for the power button hack thing. I like to lock my focus without using the screen before triggering the shutter (analogous to the half-press on a real camera) to prevent shutter lag.

Most of my fc issues were resolved by deleting data.

A few needed to be uninstalled/reinstalled.

Battery charge issue.

I know everyone has been having this problem from time to time. The phone charges to 100% then starts discharging while plugged in. I did some checking, and from what I can tell, charging via usb from a computer works fine. Charging from a wall charger causes the phone to charge, but it doesn't recognise that it is connected to anything. I use tasker a lot, and one of my tasks uses the plugged into any powersource state. It doesn't work when plugged into a wall charger, but does with the usb. I don't know if this has been verified by anyone else. I thought maybe the info would help, as I don't have any idea of where to start looking for it.
[Captivate Android Development] mcx6:
The charging to 100% and them discharging is a known issue with all 2.3 roms, you can search this thread, upper right hand corner and see all these reports. As far as I know there is no fix for it.

Ok, so I went back to 2.1 stock using odin 1 click after having Paragon RC6, installed continuum on the sd card, went into download mode and installed the JVB Bootloaders succesfully with odin 1.3 and after that I was unable to go back into download mode to install the kernel with CWM3. I tried all the combinations but it won't go into download mode...so I guess a jig is the only way to go back into download mode?

WiFi

Does anyone know if the GB roms or even the stock GB Roms have a weak WiFi signal?

Because I am sure the 2.2 roms where better.:mad:
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Several people have reported this.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
I had a similar issue and unfortunately unless you've tried ALL the combinations yes a JIG is the only way. I made my own cost me 3.99.

Went to Radioshack bought 3 100 ohm Resistors, and used it, it worked!! Pretty easy check the youtube Vid in my sig.

Did you try taking out sim and micro sd, hold down vol down and power, then inserting your usb?

There is another method, which involves holding the home button, im not too sure of it, good luck tho!!

EDIT: if you do get the 3 resistors, make sure there only 1/4 watt resistors, 1/2 watt is too much!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Did you try the GB combinations (power + down for dl, power+ up for recovery)?
[Captivate Android Development] VFO:
Maybe you have another issue because I am running Player Pro with no issues at all. Maybe try a uninstall/reinstall to see if it may help.
[Captivate Android Development] warp.asylum:
Any power rating on the resistor will work fine. That's a rating of how much power the resistor can dissipate. The resistance is the same for a 1/4 W or 1/2 W resistor, and the correct resistance across the pins is what triggers download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] carwatcher:
Yes, I tried all possible combinations quite a few times...all I ever got was a battery charging picture/animation. I ordered a jig from ebay, I'm not in too much of hurry to fix it.

So, any clue to what I did wrong? You are supposed to go back to stock 2.1, root, and then install from there the JVB Bootloaders and then the kernel with CWM3 with odin 1.3, right?
[Captivate Android Development] carwatcher:
Wow, I tried all the combos except for the one that works. Awesome, thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Heres what always worked for me(dl mode):

Open Odin, make selections forfiles

Plug cable only into computer

Pull battery,sim card, and external sd

Press and hold volume up & down

Plug usb into phone

Insert battery

Little digging droid should appear

Replace battery cover (you font want battery to fall out if your flashing bootloaders)

Just thought I would post this, maybe it will help. I have read several variations of this, but as I said this works for me.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I believe you could also do volume down and then insert usb cable for download mode, but make sure odin is open first.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
If that worked, it means you have GB bootloaders. That may change your installation method.
[Captivate Android Development] alrit:
u r right. it's the DSP pack.

After uninstalling DSP, even with media tweak enabled, playerpro works fine.

I realize this and I'm not complaining, just hoping to help. I thought maybe some testing could give direction as where to look

Extract kernel from Continuum zip?

I installed Continuum 5.5 and then decided to try xcal's kernel that many people were raving about. It works OK, but I want to try Talon's kernel again to take advantage of the overclocking. Can I just extract the kernel file from the ROM zip file and install it? The contents of the zip file shows this:

testing: updates/modem.bin OK
testing: updates/redbend_ua OK
testing: updates/wipe OK
testing: updates/zImage OK

Can I just take that updates/zImage and flash it in download mode with heimdall?

Thanks.

So far really digging this latest version. I've seen battery performance with this one that far exceeds any other rom I have flashed in the past. Take a look at the SS!

By the way, has anyone run into any issues with audio playback? As it stands right now, when listening to audio, tested in multiple different players, I continually get skips every 30-60 seconds.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
The current risk only pertains to public wifi, and it's not caused by the Android platform, but instead how Google handles your auth key to apps such as Google Docs, Picasa, Calendar, etc. (GMail is not affected) Google has applied or is currently applying changes to how those apps handle your auth key, which will prevent people from sniffing your information. Those changes are all server side, so nothing needs to be updated on the phone.

In brief, it's a server issue affecting all platforms, not just Android. It's fixed server side.

-If the screen is on, and I press power to turn it off, and then quickly remember that I need to do something else and press it again, the screen won't re-draw. I can see notification bar, sometimes even wallpaper, but the launcher is dead and no buttons work.

-Already twice today (9am eastern) it has died in sleep and refused to come back on w/o reset.

-After reset, my widgets are broken. This happened Friday, as well.

-Random weird lag.

5.5 brought back an orientation problem - it forces landscape continuously for all screens and the docking screen pops up repeatedly. I've reflashed about 6 times - including 3 full stock, clear, bootloaders, Talon test 15 then 5.5 and it keeps coming back. Also, I've noticed that my USB hasn't responded nearly as well when connecting to computer or charger (or even JIG for that matter). I even tried XCal's for a bit and it worked flawlessly all day yesterday and when I woke this morning, it was stuck in landscape, so I flashed Talon again and it lasted about 10 minutes. I deleted the dock app and it still happens. This did happen to me once on RC2 or 3, but was resolved. Calibration does not help - it says it's fine and calibrates correctly.

I've played with auto-rotate, tweaks, etc. - and refrained from restoring apps as of yet, but to no avail.

Any fixes or compatibility issues?

Help - OpenVPN

First off, I'm a not-so-knowledgeable newb. I had been running Paragon 6 ROM for a while, but for unknown reasons development on it has ceased. So, I decided to try Continuum 5.5. WOW! I'm VERY impressed with the speed and smoothness and overall goodness and intend to donate if I can solve one issue I'm having.

On Paragon 6 I was running OpenVPN by using two apps available in the market: OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings. When I installed Continuum 5.5 I checked to see if the needed tun file was there and it was (/lib/modules/tun.ko). So I proceeded to install OpenVPN Installer and OpenVPN Settings. They installed fine and their setup proceeded without issue. They work - I can connect to my OpenVPN server and am shown that the tunnel is created.

But, here is my problem. Nothing will route through the tunnel. Everything remains routed through my wifi or packet data connection even though the tunnel is there. I am mostly ignorant of the internal workings of android and/or linux, but I believe there must be some type of problem with iptables or iproute but I don't know where to begin to solve this problem. Any and all suggestions would be much appreciated.

Thanks!

On Continuum 5.4.1 for a couple of days now and have to say great work! Running at 1200 MHz OC with -75 mV to -125 mV under volting which has led to an easy 30+hrs battery life. At 55% after 18 hrs right now which is right up there with my life on the 2.2.1 roms.

Also, Continuum was the first GB I tried that let Launcher Pro Plus work as default even after a reboot with out deleting all of the apps I had installed. Really nice work, I thank you. ;) :cool:

[Captivate Android Development] xxsxx:
I had a problem like that on my girlfriend's cappy. It ended up being a dirty usb connector on the phone. I think it kept kicking it into dock mode without bringing up the actual dock application. It was weird. The USB not responding well was what made me clean it, and it solved the other issues as well. Don't know if that's your issue, but it can't hurt to try.

I used a cut down piece of emery board to clean it, if that helps any.
[Captivate Android Development] visionlogic:
I truly wish I knew the answer to that. When I connect to my openvpn server the OpenVPN Settings software shows that I am connected and shows the ip of my openvpn server. However, if I then use a browser and go to one of the 'whatismyip' sites it shows my original ip and not the ip of my openvpn server as it should.

Some further investigation indicates there may be an issue with the OpenVPN Installer/Settings combo in that at times the routes are not reset correctly. Apparently in some instances one must select the path to ifconfig and route -> /system/xbin/bb and make a link to xbin -> "ln -s /system/xbin /system/xbin/bb". But I am too ignorant at this point to know how to try to accomplish this. I just need to kick-start my 60 year old brain into gear and learn.

But your work Cezar is remarkable and you WILL be getting a donation from me.

Noticed a couple things as mentioned earlier in the thread:

* Landscape keyboard with the default keyboard is impossible as you can't see the text box. Must be a scaling bug with the gingerbread clone keyboard?

Flashing and first experience

ok here's how it went for me with the new rom install.

1-I had Clockwork V3.0 the orange one ( important )

2-I did a full backup with titan backup

3-I backed up SMSs using another backup program since titan sometimes fails here

4-Backed up pictures and music to PC ( also titanbackup and sms folder )

5-Downloaded continum 5.5

6-Rebooted in recovery mode

7-Deleted the following:

-Dalvid Cache

-Factory Reset

-Battery

-Voltage

-Everthing you can delete on CWM but SD card

8-Rebooted a continum 5.4.1 again ( it was completly clean )

9-Rebooted Recovery mode again

10-Deleted all caches, voltages and everything again

11-Selected install Zip from SD

12-Installed Cont 5.5

13-Rebooted

14-Everything looked fine

15-Tested Phone (worked good , it gave me a problem on 5.4.1 )

16-Restored TIBU ( user apps + data )

17-Restored the Rest of TIBU stuff ( the green packages )

18-Rebooted

19-Everything was back in place :D

So Far the rom is very stable ( I'm using default FS ) a quick test yesterday with lots of clouds and RAIN, rendered a GPS lock of about 30 seconds or so ( no idea really cause SGS tools seem to crash for me, I might have a wrong version )

Anyhow it locked very fast 8 Satellites.

Wifi is WEAK, and I'm concerned this will be an issue with battery drain.

Everything looks Dandy... I have to say... if I find any bugs I'll do a proper report, my SGS is V 1007. ( oldie )

:D

All this process took about 20 mins.

Some phones seem to have this problem. The way I have seen people fix it is to start over but flash the stock JVH first then flash continuum. It has something to do with the latest build version of the phone it seems.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Only way I've found is to either dial.*#3214789650# every time you want to access AngryGPS, or create a dialer shortcut (i used SGS Tools to do it).
[Captivate Android Development] othermark:
OK, my thoughts on this. I actually have a earlier phone (1008), so that doesn't really apply.

* Just volume up takes me to forced upload no matter where I am (even in recovery).

* Volume up worked fine in recovery before flashing continuum 5.5

* Volume up + power takes me correctly into recovery.

Since volume up is broken in the ROM and recovery, but not in the boot loader logic says this is a kernel level issue (maybe with just my hardware). If it is just kernel file corruption, perhaps a reflash of Talon is needed.
