Try that. Most likely it wont work and youll have to flash stock wipe data and start over. Ginger doesnt like alotta flashing
[Captivate Android Development] topiratiko:
max is 10 minutes
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
I can second that. Got started with Handcent shortly after I heard about the MMS bug in the Android app. Randomly, the Messenging app would send your text to someone else. Had that happen twice and decided I had to switch. Plus Handcent is highly customizable and the best part, it's free.
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Do a battery pull, boot into CWM3 recovery using button combo, then do a factory reset, cache wipe, dalvik cache clear, reflash Continuum, and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Handcent

Did you all get rid of the mms.apk that comes with this or just leave it there? Nobody will txt me back right now to see if it's working right. Maybe it's not. lol
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Handcent runs off of the stock mms app so don't remove it. Make sure to uncheck notifications in the stock messaging app after installing handcent so you don't get 2 notifications each time you get a text. Also to test it just run the code to check data usage.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Far out! Thanks! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
There's also chomp sms. Has a built in test option. Handcent may too. Both are good. I think Go has an sms too

[Captivate Android Development] :
Go SMS is my favorite. Good notifications, lots of options, and you can schedule future texts.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Yeah handcent has it too I just meant to test if the messaging itself was working over the network.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
I have both frozen and uninstalled the default MMS app in Tibu. Handcent actually doesn't run off of the default MMS app as I run Handspring without the Messaging app running at all. If it did run off of the default MMS app, the bug would still be there and I wouldn't be able to use it with the default not available. Only reason I freeze or uninstall the default MMS app is because I don't like multiple notifications for a text. Even though I would disable notifications in the default MMS app, it would tend to come back on for some reason. Very frustrating.
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Sorry, not true. I've removed and frozen it many times and had no issues with Handcent. Handcent isn't just another shell/skin for stock MMS, it's a completely separate app that doesn't have the bug that the original has.
[Captivate Android Development] Storm T:
Thanks

It's pretty sweet. I froze the default and seems to be working fine. Now to play with all the options. :)
[Captivate Android Development] gio22:
Cool. Have fun with it.

Is it just me or is battery life really bad on GB? Anything I can do to improve it, I was getting 1.5 days with Froyo and now can't make a whole day.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
It's just you. I have had exceptional battery life with GB, especially compared to froyo. It may be a single app causing it, a bad restore, or a bad flash.
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
From all that's been posted its a GB bug. Is there a fix? I hope so. Im sure these great devs are digging into it.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Again, my battery life has been improved with GB. Some people are reporting bad battery life and some good.
[Captivate Android Development] TheGrub:
Check your battery use to see what is draining your battery. For me continuum has been better on battery than stock froyo with one of existz kernel.

I do at least 1.5 days since continuum with about 2hrs of display time, 40 min talk time and some browsing / xda forums.
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
I check it all the time, right now i have 47% Android OS and 28% Display.

Its only 4 PST and i'm at 15%

I was using Perception before and it was OK. Continuum seems worse. I am using xcal kernel because talon lagged like a muhfah with this rom.

You think I should freshly re-flash?
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
To get rid of the lag with the Talon kernel. First flash test 13 Talon kernel and uninstall ( with Tibu) TW launcher and every other launcher you don't use. Then setup the voltage control.
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
I never really messed with Votage control. I went through the faq, set them all to 100 and my system froze. I didn't bother running benchmarking apps to find stability because my battery was so bad I assumed messing with that app would kill it faster.

I will try flashing the Talon Kernel.

Maybe some advice on voltage control could be useful.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] danix180:
Had same problem.

I disabled wifi and problem disappeared. I had checked disable wifi when sleep. Not sure if that had any effect.
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Set the "scheduler" to noop and "limit clock to" 1200 mhz. from the bottom up 100 to -75, 200 to -75, 400 to -75, 800 to -75, 1000 to -75, and 1200 to -50.

That is what I have mine setup to and I have 0 lag, smooth as butter, and great battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Im thinking u meant to say stability apps like stability test instead of benchmarking apps like quadrant. If so when you load stability apps it recommends you plugged into wall power to so the phone doesn't die. Although the best way to observe stability is just regular use because stability test basically just pegs the cpu at max speed.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
I was running RC3 and Talon 1.6. The only issue I notice that some time the GB keyboard freeze a few seconds. I tried Xcal 1.2 to see if there problem is there. Did not observed the freeze BUT the charge issue showed up.

I am back to Talon 1.6 now.

This is FYI if this information is useful data to developer.

Anybody getting the dreaded wifi error?
[Captivate Android Development] fortelv999:
ehi, i wanted to ask if anyone managed to get CIFS working? last thing i flashed was 5.4.1 but it didnt work...

Are there different battery mods that are flashable for gb? The white numbers are hard to see sometimes.

Is there a way to get back the voice recording option?

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I usually get 4+ hrs on display, with an uptime of about 17-18 hrs.

What worked for me was freezingour installing Maps and KTLO. After that my battery has been great.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I just tried to play a video through the stock video player at 9% charge and got a low battery warning and the program closed. Running 5.4.1 with reorient 1.2
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
I really like the dialer in that theme. Is there any way to extract the dialer from Pau Diddy theme & apply it to another (Red Gingerbread)?

Or maybe the dialer from GingerFire Blue?
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
Red Gingerbread changes the battery icon & signal strength indicators red & Blue Gingerbread changes them to blue. They also change the colors of the progress bars and the unlock screens.
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
Have you tried to calibrate your battery? This could help, especially if you flash a lot of roms on your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
Not very often. I toggle the wifi and it usually works.
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
RE: calibrating battery

With draining and charging? Or by erasing battery stats?
[Captivate Android Development] yguns76:
I tried to drain my battery fast today. 100% brightness, gps on, bt on, wifi on, ftp file transfer, and watching a video played from sd card. The program closed at 2% or 1%, hard to tell.
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
I tried erasing battery stats & it didn't help - My battery still drains super fast. I can watch the numbers drop as I use it. I can leave it sitting on my desk doing nothing and it will still drain like crazy.

I just took the phone off the charger to flash a theme and in the time it took to do that the batery dropped to 79%!
[Captivate Android Development] charmartist:
Can anyone help me out? I'm not sure how I'm supposed to flash this coming from Stock 2.1 (JF6 with 3 button fix). It seems like the only way is to flash to JF6 without the 3 button fix or am I missing something?
[Captivate Android Development] mfpreach:
Its interesting that some of us are experiencing this and others are not.

I might could reflash and not restore my app data with Tibu and see if that helps.

Also I am using the voltage settings that were suggested to me so hopefully that improves.
[Captivate Android Development] charmartist:
Ok, so it seems like I need to revert to stock using this method:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=995143

And then flash the 3 button fix in PDA using ODIN.

Afterwards, flash the JVB 2.3 Bootloaders in PDA using ODIN also.

My question is, after I flash those bootloaders, will everything boot fine? I don't want to end up bricking my phone since I don't have a jig
[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
I'm certainly no expert, and I may be completely wrong, but my understanding is that you should avoid the 3 button fix like the plague with Gingerbread! I would wait until some more experienced members chime in before you move ahead!

Read page 1 of this thread.VERY detailed instructions on how to flash this rom.
[Captivate Android Development] santosh134:
I had that problem, but just for one day. Google maps was sucking most of the battery. Then I installed watchdog lite app to monitor the app who uses cpu beyond certain threshold . You can try that
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Erasing battery stats shouldn't be done randomly. Battery should be at 100%
[Captivate Android Development] FroggyStyle:
You could extract the dialer.apk and swap it out with the current dialer.

[Captivate Android Development] Ranulf WolfSage:
Ok, so I flashed to stock, master cleared, cleared the cache in recovery, loaded the bootloaders, flashed stock Gingerbread, rooted, installed Talon 1.7 Test 11, installed Continuum 5.4, then 5.4.1. Now I know not every step was needed, but I didn't want issues. After getting up and running, I converted to ext4 and removed the minfree tweak. I do have occasional lag as well as the charging to full issue, but for the most part the ROM runs great! I've only noticed one major problem. I tried to enable bluetooth earlier today, and it wouldn't enable. It would go off color like the icon was enabling and hang for about 20-30 seconds, then just go back to the off setting. I also tried enabling it via the settings menu, no luck. Any suggestions? I've been reading the thread for awhile, and I haven't seen anything related to this issue...
[Captivate Android Development] jferg5:
I want to change modems and I'm running xcal's with cwm2, can I still flash the froyo modems that are still cwm2 compatible? Or do I have to flash talon first?

Thanks in advance
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Reboot phone, then try. Also, if what you said above was in order, you may need to flash the kernel again. The flash before installing continuum doesn't permanently instal the kernel, just gives you cwm3. If you look back several pages, you will see my post on how i reinstalled frim jf6.

check post #5417
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Yes, the cwm2 modems you have will work.

Yes.

No.

I have had the same problem with the talon kernel, personally I switched to xcal's kernel and they went away. But my phone has always liked xcal's work

what kernal are you using?

i found that I had lag issues with talon, but if I switched to xcal's kernal everythign was alright...:confused:

this version of talon (test version) might work better....I'm trying it out right now

only reason I'm not going to use xcal is cause it doesn't have oc/uv

[Captivate Android Development] Velshtein:
To clarify now, a "factory reset" after having flashed the new bootloaders and having continuum installed for awhile is equivalent to using the newer version of Odin to reset the phone, then reflashing a new ROM from there?
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
"factory reset" wipes your preferences and user apps I believe

anythign that is stored on your internal sd (music and such) will remain on your phone unless your format the internal SD as well.....

I usually "factory" reset after flashign the gingerbread bootloaders before flashing continuum
[Captivate Android Development] Velshtein:
Now is this using ODIN or through CWM?

Additionally, ODIN seems to refuse to recognize my phone now. I get the standard "0:[COM4]" but can't get a proper fill so that I can reset, regardless of the combination used to bring it up.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Factory reset are done through CWM. Master clears are odin and are different.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
cmw

this

master clear through odin iirc formats the phone or something right? not sure on that

but master clear through CMW
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
It's DialerTabActivity.apk, FTR.
[Captivate Android Development] nybmx:
Yeah. When you master clear it wipes your internal card. So if you one click back to stock and then master clear you would never know the phone was even used.
[Captivate Android Development] raven2000:
I am using Talon. To use xcal kernel do I just flash it over or should reflash 5.4.1 and then flash xcal?
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
I just flashed over. Just make sure to delete voltage settings in the voltage control app or in recovery under advanced then flash using the cwm flashable
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
i feel somewhat safer using odin to flash xcal

but thats me
[Captivate Android Development] oblivianz:
I just tried switching to xcal kernel through CWM. Personally its less laggy for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Its just as easy to turn off all tweaks in talon. Im not sure why people dont try that first.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:

I guess i'll try turning off the tweaks for talondev now before i change to xcal...

[Captivate Android Development] NeidRider:
I apologize, if this has been answered, but I've searched and read through 100+ posts, without finding a solution...

I just installed 5.4.1 coming from another ROM, did a wipe and all, but the camera can't take pictures; it freezes and force-closes as soon as the focus would have a hit (i.e. the rectangle doesn't turn green even).

Any help on that matter?
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
How would I extract the GingerFire Blue dialer? There's no phone.apk to extract just a Dialer Tab Activity.apk.
[Captivate Android Development] bullinthechinashop:
Have you rebooted since you flashed?

If that doesn't work I would just reflash 5.4.1 and see if it works after that. Sometimes it just doesn't flash quite right.
[Captivate Android Development] NeidRider:
Yeah, should have thought of that before... Tried several reboots, but only reflashing did the trick.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] breakthru_sep:
If re-flashing 5.4.1 doesn't work, going back to stock following method 1 in the original post should always do the trick...
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I would think that flashing 5.4 first, then flashing 5.4.1 would do the trick. 5.4 is a wipe release, while .1 is not.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Add a factory reset from cwm, and you can get a wipe version :).

Edit- this is the best my phone has run. Great work.
[Captivate Android Development] 1randomtask:
out and out weird one here.

I installed this tonight. Every reboot, I lose my installed apps.

Specifically things like beautiful widgets, android agenda plus (both of these are widgets on the homescreen), Touchdown 2.0. I still have the Touchdown Pro Key listed - however, I've installed all these apps about 3 times now, rebooted and then found nothing there.

Any ideas?

Running 5.4.1 (and install 5.4.1 from base). My install process went Serendipity 6.4 -> Full Data Wipe -> JVB Gingerbread -> Darky v10 -> this didn't quite work right, crash loop on wifi -> full data wipe -> xcal 1.1.2 GB kernel -> Continuum 5.4.1.

I've re-applied the 5.4.1 release a few times now.

Clear cache, davlik cache, factory reset, and then reflash I'd say.

my apps would "disappear" but it would still be "installed"

how do I know? once I saw it "disappeared" I fired up TiBu, and when I got prompted to reinstall my apps, it said it was already installed, and did I want to restore them

I flashed to eclair stock.....gingerbread loaders, talon kernal from odin, continuum, restored apps again from tibu....everythign working so far....changing from talon to xcal kernal right now...hopefully this won't brick or anything

Wow. Goes to show you how each phone is different. I also came from Mosaic to test the jvh waters. It's ok here, better than gr11 imo, but still more fc's and not near as smooth as Mosaic, which was literally flawless for me. But this is certainly a quality rom, battery life is close to MosaicII and nice overall. Good work Devs.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
works great for me

just remember to disable lagfix from talon before flashing xcal

where did you get test 13? I only have test 11 and it caused me to have loads of issues (apps disappearing, soft bricking and lag)

cheers
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Actually, when I tested excal's kernel I originally did not disable lagfix and I noticed that the ROM became much more responsive and much quicker. When I went back and disabled lagfix before flashing excal's kernel there was noticeable lag and unresponsiveness. Just a personal observation. You have a PM waiting BTW.
[Captivate Android Development] droid_does:
i read somewhere that there was a difference in voodoo lagfix and the lagfix in the talon kernal hence why I suggested disablign lagfix in talon first

no idea if what I read was true though....just staying on the safe side ;)

PM has been replied

off to bed now, will check back tomorrow :)
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Yeah it's defiantly better to be safer than sorry. I have been lucky enough to have been able to obtain 3 captivates over the past 7 months. Bought one originally from AT&T and purchased 2 for $50 a piece that the sellers thought were completely bricked. Of course they were not and was able to bring them back to life. That being said, I am not always as careful as I could be. I have never totally bricked a device either though. I have always been able to breathe life back into soft bricks, so there has been no losses for me, Keeping my fingers crossed.

Hello,

I am trying to play some music, but the default music player do not scan the music and I cant find how to add a music folder.

Any help please

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
I'm not having that issue at all. If you want to create a music folder on your external or internal sd all you have to do is open your app drawer and select "My Files" then tap on your menu button then select "create folder" and label it Music.
[Captivate Android Development] oscarivera17:
Thank you Climber,

My issue is that the default music player doesnt show any music file.

I have create many folder in the internal and extsd and not success.

[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
Do you have any music in the music folders that you created? Is your phone currently plugged up to your computer?
[Captivate Android Development] oscarivera17:
Yes I have some music in there and is computer unplugged.

The only file that recognize the one that are in asphalt folder
[Captivate Android Development] climber1872000:
That's rather strange. I think I remember reading someone else in this thread posting on a similar issue. Unless someone else comments on your issue and suggests a fix, the only thing I can tell you to do is search for the post that mentioned a possible fix in this thread or perform a factory data reset from recovery. I have never had an issue where the music player was reading the wrong folder. You could also try installing a different music played and see if it's giving you the same issue. You could also just move all your music to the asphalt folder. That might temporarily fix the issue. Open your music player and tap on menu then tap on music menu and take a look at what is checked.
