Shoman, you're the resident modem expert. Both my phones are experiencing rather annoyingly often sim refreshes .. to the point it drives me nuts. I've had this in the past and switching the modem ( don't remember what it was) to JK4 stopped the issue but now it doesn't seem to matter what modem I run. I tried JK4 KC1 on top of the one that's in the ROM, i changed kernels .. no dice .. it refreshes like crazy. Is it the modem or I'm shooting mosquitoes with my theory?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Both the wipe and no wipe releases of Continuum format /system and rebuild it. The no wipe release is not an update of just the things that changed.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
5.4.1 doesn't format /system.... it deletes /system only and does not run WIPE.

5.4 deletes /system, /data, /dbdata, /cache then runs WIPE which formats them.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I don't understand what you are trying to explain to me. sim refreshes?
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
Don't tell me you've never experienced it :) the 3g connection drops, the phone gives you the "refreshing sim data" message . It's annoying when it happens during a call (dropped call) .. but the most annoying part is : the damn screen comes on .. and when it does that 3-4 times in a 5 minutes span it drains the battery like crazy.
[Captivate Android Development] stuff:
I've had it say "refreshing sim data" or something like that, but it never affects the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
What if is the sim?? I never get this behavior.
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
That's a good point .. poor contact maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] gv2112:
I was using Talon TEST 15... but went back to 1.7... now I am trying xcal reorient. BT works... Talon felt faster to me...
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
i also have never had that happen before.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I have never seen it say that or do that at all.

Maybe you have a bad SIM? You could try to clean the contacts of the sim chip with an eraser.

First of all i have to say that i love the battery life of this rom. works wonders compared to continuum v4.But i keep facing one weird problem after another. initially, my volume up button caused the phone to go into upload mode!! That was probably due to a bad flash, as a reset and reflash seemed to solve this. But now, i got another issue. My quadrant scores are 800-900, phone always seems to lag a bit compared to froyo, and it freezes up alot on cpu/gpu intensive tasks. I even tried ocing to 1.2 by using control freak app, but still problem persisted. Help??!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Uncheck minfree. That will help. Also...if battery isn't a big deal, try the performance setting. The upload is fixed by making sure you have the updated kernel. I remember that being a brief bug on the first 5.4 release.

how bout them beastie boys!
[Captivate Android Development] santosh134:
Which kernel are you using? Xcal's kernel have been faster for some ppl. Me too using that.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I wouldn't read to much into quadrant.... also if you go into irc channel suckerpunch and get the latest test version of Talon. I'm on it and OC'd to 1.2. I decided to try Quadrant because of you comment and I'm getting 1325, 1429, 1485

(run 1, 2, 3)
[Captivate Android Development] xtremesv:
Reporting back. I started to have extreme lagging with Continuum, at first thought it was related to launchers but wasn't the case. I managed to solve the lag issue by flashing xcal's reoriented kernel
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
You also could have gone into the suckerpunch IRC channel and asked for the latest test version.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
New feature suggestion, I don't know if it is possible from within the ROM itself or does it need an upgrade in the android OS itself, but I think it will be cool if we can choose which SD cards (Internal or external or both) to mount when connected to PC.

If anybody is aware of any app that does it, I would appreciate if you could point me in right direction.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
Battery is a big thing 4 me. :p How much r we talking about? Anyhoo will instal xcals kernel n recheck.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Well it mounts both anyway so I don't understand why mounting only one would make a difference. Even if you weren't going to use the other one it doesn't slow anything down or cause issues. Is there any reason you want this feature? I'm just curious as I can't figure out a scenario where this could come in handy.
[Captivate Android Development] wickedninjalo:
True. Test 15 big mem is flying

[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
It does not hinder anything, but just adds a few more steps, you the have to eject both of them.

Also I like to have the auto-run feature on my PC on, so it opens 2 dialog boxes which I have to close manually.

So it's more out of laziness that I want them there than out of requirement ;)
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I think if you close the connection with the phone it will close the dialog boxes on their own.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
I am not looking for a solution, I don't have a problem closing a few dialog boxes, it's just that it would be nice to have it ;)

Thanks anyways.
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
I agree. In theory, if done right, it could save the time/battery on the phone of rescanning the extra media card, too.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
+1 I've only been on it for a few hours but so far all issues from the included test11 kernel seem resolved.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
I have found out the hard way that not ejecting from the computer first might cause data corruption. Also, I had read somewhere that the proper sequence is to eject from the computer, then unmount on the phone. I lost stuff I had just copied by not ejecting from the computer first. Won't happen all the time (like pulling anything USB out of the computer without software removing first), but when it does, you might regret it. Anyways, I'm putting that out there for whatever it's worth.
[Captivate Android Development] psycho2097:
Thx... Did wat u said. Getting quad 1400+. Phone also feels much snappier n lag free. Think I will pass on xcals kernels. Or should I?.......meh...
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
+1, I have corrupted my drives in past by not ejecting safely.

In phone you can disconnect your phone while data is being transferred, it is not like PC which gives you an error if you try to disconnect while the data is being transferred.
[Captivate Android Development] vin1993:
Whenever i try any type of app that's intensive on the phone (games) my phone will usually reboot. Help? thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
just flashed this from GR-12, its working but i wanted to flash a different modem, (JK4) when i go into clockwork recovery, (orange writing) and flash the modem, it starts too, then says installation aborted, and something about edf scripts? can i flash it with Odin?
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Are you flashing CWM3 compatible zip files?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
You need CWM3 compatible modems, check my signature

EDIT: you can use ODIN too, unzip modem.bin from zip and flash it using ODIN by placing them in phone tab.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
you guys are amasing, thanks for the fast reply, just flashed it now :D:D

Battery

I have heard stories like this. I get nothing like this. I find myself charging at least 2 times per day. I have mine OC'd at 75 for everything but 1200 and it's set at 50. (noop) Screen is at 72% and nothing else out of the ordinary. Anyone have a clue? I have tried another battery with the same results. I don't think I use the thing that much. Lots of texting.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
another quick question wifi wont connect, keeps saying scanning, then connecting , then disconnecting, thats all it does, any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
Try disabling it and enabling it again.
[Captivate Android Development] markdexter:
yes been trying that still no luck
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
What's your screen time on? People with great batteries usually have less screen time than others. It really depends on a person's usage in my opinion. You have to decide for yourself how the battery is based on your usage, not others.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
try toggling airplane mode, or restarting phone.

Whenever it happens to me a quick disable and enable fixes it, so these are the only 3 things I can think of at the moment.
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
In your signature I see continuum 5.6, when did that come out ?
[Captivate Android Development] meadhros:
Power cycle your router

how bout them beastie boys!
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
OOOH! Where do I get 5.6!!!!!?????
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Please remove this post. Oops
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
screen time

You mean the time out? I have it set at 1 minute but usually click it off right after I'm done using it anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
If you are using Talon, change to SIO.

[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
SIO

Yes I am, and thanks! I will give that a shot. Saw a recommendation to use the other. :)
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Why sio? I have always used noop. It seems that when I try and use sio i have lag issues with certain video codec paybacks.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
Ok now may sound dumb but what is this u speak of ?
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
My Voltage control sometimes like to FC too and gets that bazinga message. Might be an issue with it?
[Captivate Android Development] lowlymarine:
No, he means time on. Under battery use, tap Display and see what it says for the "Time on" line. For instance, I just got the 15% notification at 1d 6h 33m on battery, with 1h 20m of display time on (but Cell standby is tied with Display at 25% of my battery because I spent most of yesterday in bad coverage). On a typical day I have about 2.5 hours of display on and 16h of total time on battery, and end the day at ~40% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
What kernel are you using? Talon?
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
battery

Oh, sorry for the noob stuff. lol Mine says 2.45 on display. 15 hours time on battery. But I already have it charging again. Was about to die.

Yes, it's Talon. The latest one that came with 5.41
[Captivate Android Development] jdv1:
dump that kernel and go excals, no fuss no muss...it just works
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
That's rather strange. The only time that you should get that type of error with the voltage app is when you're using a kernel that is not compatable with the voltage app, ie. not an oc kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
I have heard that. lol Thinking about it but I sure like how Cezar and Existz work together. Still thinking.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Kernel

Yes, that's what I thought too. I might try and reflash the kernel to see what happens.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Which talon build are you on?
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
0.1.7

It's 0.1.7

(just filling in enough for 10 characters) lol
[Captivate Android Development] marcopolo1:
WiFi

i have this problem .. even with wifi off, it turns on by itself .. it runs for 4 or 5 seconds and then turns off again ..

if you are using Mobile AP, it closes because both can't be active at the same time.. annoying.

Anyone having the same problem?
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
SIO is default for Talon. So it is recommended that you set it in VC as well.

The Bazinga warning could be related to the app itself or BusyBox.

You can try reinstalling Busybox from the market.

You should only get that warning when running a non OC enabled kernel.

New Kernel

Just updated to a new kernel and it seems to be working good. At least the V/C. lol If it happens anymore I will try BB again. :) Thanks again!
[Captivate Android Development] sharksman:
well I bent the sim holder inwards and put two strips of tape on the back of the sim ...now it's securely locked in there and guess what .... no more "refreshing SIM data" crap. Yeeeeey
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
Just wondering if anyone is getting constant dropped calls, even with 3 or 4 bars? I have tried different modems and to no avail. When the call is dropped is really random. Sometimes 5 minutes into the call, sometimes 20 seconds. It doesn't even say call failed or ended or whatever. It just closes out to my contacts list. It's almost like the phone app is crashing. Anyways, if anyone has this problem, I would love to know how to fix it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I thought 14 was faster.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
What he's saying is the new one (T15) is faster than the included (T11)
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Have you tried the KC1 modem? It's always performed the best for me.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Cool... glad it worked out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I've been running fast and smooth with xcal's kernel. I don't know much about these numbers, let me know if these are good, bad, whatever:

Linpack: 14.01

Neocore: 55.5

Quadrant: 1507
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Did you flash with odin or kernel flasher app?
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
From my experience, you should always flash a new kernel with Odin.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Oh, ok. Misunderstood
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Thats the point I was working up to.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Flash

Odin. Does the kernel flasher work? Never tried that before.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
That's the way I've always done it. Well, not that I've been doing any of this for long. lol Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
I've used the kernel flasher app without any issue. It makes it a lot easier actually. What'd the reasoning behind not wanting to use it?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Cezar and eXistz said to do it that way. Theres an extra file that odin writes but flashing through cwm or kernel flasher don't. That extra file helps system to be more stable. at least they'd how I understood it.
[Captivate Android Development] gv2112:
I had a small issue with BT before, but after flashing again, from stock, to 5.4.1 the BT works great now. I love this ROM, almost 2 days with normal usage (NO streaming Netflix or anything!) but wifi on and exchange server pushing emails all the time.

My name is Greg and I am a habitual flasher (of C5 GB ROMS and Talon kerns!)
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
This Rom and kernel combination is amazing!

I'm on my 38th hour with 2 hours display time and still 40% battery!!

Bluetooth on, gps on, wifi on... actually everything on!

No force close, no dropped calls in 5 days, solid bluetooth connection.

I just flashed talon 1.7 test 15 and the phone is blazing fast! Let's see if battery life is still amazing on this one!

Thank you devs! Amazing work!
[Captivate Android Development] gv2112:
Exactly!
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
wow

Whatttttttttt? lol Not getting why I don't get this. Just flashed the same thing so we'll see what it brings. Almost to 100% here. What is your display set at?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
themes should not effect battery in any way
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
On this rom with the last 3 or 4 kernels, I've had 4-4 1/2 hrs of display in about 17 hrs of heavy use.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
What's your brightness setting?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Lowest possible.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Brightness

That's probably it. I can't even hardly see the screen at the lowest. lol
[Captivate Android Development] The_Zodiac:
btw when flashing from another gb rom is the best method

to

move to sd card

reboot recovery

wipe date

wipe cache

install this rom?
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Well, lowest possible for me means lowest that I can see it. I never use auto. Also have background data off, auto rotate off (that took some getting used to ), I deactivate data from power menu if I know I'm going to be away from phone for awhile(text messages still receive just can't reply), wifi gps bluetooth off, haptic off, crt shutdown not used, and I clear any notification as soon as I can.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Most ROMs are "wipe" releases so they do this themselves, but this can never hurt.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
aha

See, I use full brightness. lol I use all that stuff. Oh well. lol I got one of those Chinese 1900 batteries. No good with that thing really about the same.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Use the ext4 app to convert all partitions to ext4, then change the tweaks indicated in my signature.

I'm getting similar (almost 2 days battery life with between 2 and 4 hours of screen on time). I have my brightness set to 14 or 26 for the UI and 49 or 75 for video, depending on my environment. I have background data and autosync off, I only turn on wifi when I'm using it (30 minutes to an hour a day).
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Where can you set brightness numbers like that and have different environments? All I know of is the slide bar in settings--->display.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I use a Widgetsoid switcher widget with a brightness toggle, it brings up a slider that shows numbers from 1-100 as you drag it. As for different environments, I change it manually if I need to, but both mVideoPlayer and MoboPlayer can remember separate brightness settings for video playback.
[Captivate Android Development] 88EVGAFTW:
Quick question, I have GR-12 installed already so I have the bootlaoders and stock 2.3.3 rom, can I flash just the continumm rom over my current one?
[Captivate Android Development] koreancanuck:
Yes you can

Edit: If the zip file says it cannot be installed, that means you have to flash talon first via odin to get cwm3. But if I remember correctly I moved from GR 12 to Continuum with CWM2.5
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
Just wanted to thank climber for the various advice he gave me.

I now get INCREDIBLE battery life and great stability.

Anyone else who wants to know how I did it here is what I did.

First I flashed talon 1.1.7 test 13

Second, erased battery stats ( @ 100%)

Third, removed all launchers I didn't use

Lastly, configured voltage settings as stated above.

After pretty heavy use I'm at 50% and the day is over.

Thanks a lot!
[Captivate Android Development] Bluetoth10:
Coming from Serendipity here.

All in all Continuum 5.4.1 with default kernel is less stable. Freezes time to time, gallery crashes, also bt doesn't switch on often. How can I cure bt?
[Captivate Android Development] bluerogue85:
so when is the next version coming out??? cant wait!! i love this rom..its been a week since 5.4.1 came out..looking great so far..
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
No problem buddy. Glad it worked out for you.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
which kernal are you using?

if you use talondev test 13 with above settings then its buttery smooth....
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
And bluetooth stops working.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I had that issue during the betas and first using talon. Going back to stock and flashing continuum over fixed it. I can switch back and forth between kernels and bt always works.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Display setting is at about 1/8 of the slider..... No auto-brightness.

Running Sony Launcher btw.

Hey would anybody happen to have that daily briefing apk?
[Captivate Android Development] flucks:
You are awesome. I have seriously tried about 5 modems and they all dropped calls. This is perfect, thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
It's included in the ROM, in the user apps folder.

Here it is anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
I set my wifi sleep policy to 'sleep when screen turns off'. When I charge it and pull the usb it automatically goes back to 'never' sleep. Anybody have a fix for this?
[Captivate Android Development] ddoubt:
does anyone know where I can find the latest test version of talon for download?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] golfslicer:
I must agree, I have tried several of the talon kernels and they eventually begin to lag and freeze. I am using the reoriented kernel now. So far so good.
[Captivate Android Development] neffarious:
I finally figured out what was causing my lag, autokiller memory optimizer. caused the worst lag i have ever seen. without it its great.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
battery

I changed mine from full brightness to about half. Just can't go 1/8th lol Seems to be helping a bit though. Maybe with the new kernel too.
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Oh, it definitely helps. I always used to use auto brightness, but having the sensor polling constantly probably didn't help with battery too much. I'm now at lowest brightness. I didn't think I could stand it, but if you just set it and forget about it you can definitely use that setting (except in bright sunlight of course).
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
I used to be like you.... I fixed my brightness addiction by slowly dropping the brightness every day or 2. After a while, i was able to run with 1/8 brightness without any "urge" to go back to full. Now when i try to put it to 1/2 or more, i actually find it too bright ! ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Going to B.A. meeting today as opposed to AA. lol
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Test versions are available from existz on his irc channel. Theres a link in the op of the talon thread.
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I noticed that using the SGS2 live wallpapers causes a lot of lag on my Captivate. Other live wallpapers don't cause nearly as much lag as the SGS2 ones do....
[Captivate Android Development] olo567:
Certainly possible if they expect higher specs.

IMO live wallpapers are to show off to your friends for 10 sec if you're into that sort of thing, and that's it. Too much of CPU/battery hog to keep full time for most.
[Captivate Android Development] codeles:
To anyone with Google Voice force closing (sorry couldn't take time to read the entire thread) I was having this issue. I resolved it by going into "Manage Applications" finding Google Voice and clearing the app cache and uninstalling (overkill?) and reinstalling it. Works fine now.
[Captivate Android Development] goabunny:
I am looking for the same link but couldn't find it on talon op. Can you please provide the irc link?
[Captivate Android Development] LNJ:
That app only sets the LMK parameters just after boot and doesn't run anymore.

Shouldn't be causing any issues at all.

In fact if you set an Aggressive policy, you will be back where RC3 was.

Cause the RC3 kernel combo had a similar LMK setting as Aggressive.
