Oh and by the way nice ROM!!
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I have two times been able to over come the charging bug so I thought I would post about it. The first time was on an RC version and I didnt think a ton about it since some had it and some didnt and I didnt. Then I upgraded and have had it ever since. I got fed up with it yesterday again (on 5.4.1 with T17 kernel for a while now). So I thought about what I did before that I didnt do after I upgraded beyond RC and repeated that and today instead of waking up with 89-94% I woke up with 99% after a full night on charge.

I bump charged it....bump charged the heck out of it. First I deleted battery stats then recharged fully. Then unplug, it drop to 97 or whatever then plugged back in until charged....repeat until it would show charged 100% immediately when I plugged it back in. It probably took 15+ times to get to this level.

Will it work for you? No clue but it did for me twice.

Wrong Time Zone?

So I just noticed that the time zone is actually labeled wrong. It shows GMT-04:00 Eastern Daylight Time, Eastern time zone is supposed to be GMT -05:00 which it shows as Central time.

Has this always been like this on the Captivate or is it something with the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] ajgarr:
No the time zone is labeled correctly. EDT *is* GMT-4. EST is GMT-5.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
Is there some known problem with the voltage settings? I'm running Talon 0.1.7 Test 17 and as soon as I set clock limit up to 1.2 and all voltages to -50 (which I have always done without a problem), I cannot boot.

Can anyone please help me out? :)
[Captivate Android Development] aryn.galadar:
ajgarr's correct. "Central" time is in DST right now, so CDT is GMT-5. CST is GMT-6.
[Captivate Android Development] typ44q:
Got it, so this shows the time zone offset instead of standard time zone, never noticed it before, probably because I do not use the calendar that much which is where I noticed it today.

I do prefer standard time zone with a check box for daylight saving time.

thanks for the reply!

Same here I've had to bump charge for every GB ROM I've tried and it helps, but battery life still is not great.

Is anyone else using LauncherPro 0.8.6? I am having problems where it can't stay resident. Each time I go back, it restarts all widgets, etc.

I am on the same version on my Nook Color, cyanogenmod, and it is working fine.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Unfortunately, everyones phone is capable of handling different levels of UV. Some are not able to run UV at all without issue. For instance, I run -125 at 100Mhz, -100 at 200Mhz, and 75 all the way to 1000Mhz. I have no problems. I can take mine all the way to -150 for all below 800Mhz with pretty good stability. I have read some on here that cannot go past -50Mv on any setting and some that cant do it at all. What I'm saying is, the best calibration for you specifically will be what you try and can come up with unfortunately. There is a user, I think his nic is Showlin or something like that, that had an UV guide. Someone can chime in that will know.

A good starting point would be, in my opinion, -50mv and go from there.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I use a method similar to this. I charge to 100 with phone on. Turn off, charge to 100. On an Off two or three times. Then after charging the last time with it off, i boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Come over to the Talon thread, and read through the last four or five pages of posts to learn about lmk.conf tweaking.
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
After updating to 5.5 and still struggling with getting Talon to work, I flashed back to the trusty kernel by Xcal (includes BLN now!) and I'm happy as ever :)

Thanks Cezar for your awesome ROM. Just wish that the included kernel was more stable for my usage, anyway (I know existz is working hard, and I do not mean any disrespect).
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
I do not have this issue and when I had issues I changed kernels. I am running Talon T17 and no lag issues. I would suggest switching kernels as I have seen others here post success in doing so. You could try xcals or try flashing a different talon kernel. That would be a good place to start.

I would also ask if the lag was there prior to reinstalling apps? If the kernel does not do it I would reload the rom and see how it does before loading apps. You could have some apps that are a problem. I have had a few that I had to uninstall and reinstall because either they were eating battery or simply having issues. Throughout this thread, some have referenced some apps as issues.

Good luck.

Bump charging is horrible for your battery. I never bump charge or clear battery stats or flash from a full charge. I have excellent battery life. I listen to pandora ask day at work over 3g and typically have 60% life left when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
I haven't calibrated my battery for eons, and no complaints here.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
For me, it wasn't about battery life (although mine is pretty good). It was merely a way to try to fix the charging issue that plagues GB users. I'm not saying it worked, but so far so good.

Oh, battery life:

Thats about average.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
Ok many thanks :-P
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
Things to try, and in more or less the order to try them:

Open up the tweaks app and turn them all off

Open up the tweaks app and enable SD:speed tweak, I/O:no-a-time, and/or VM:dirtyness... disable everything else

Use TitaniumBackup to move all apps to the internal sd card

Change kernels

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] Soccer_Dad:
Two things I found that were laggy:

The standard TW4 seemed to lag a lot. I've switched to one that supposedly was specifically built for JVH, and have had no issues.

I haven't tried with the recent version of Talon, but prior versions ran pretty laggy on EXT4. You could try going back to RFS.

The suggestions above are pretty mandatory, too, I found. Well, except that I'm okay with the "stock" C5.5 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Same here. I virtually never calibrate my battery or bump charge but this time to prevent waking up with 10% of my battery gone was worth it for me.
[Captivate Android Development] carey:
I stuck with the default Talon kernel too. I got hooked on ADW awhile ago and switched to it right off the bat so no idea how TW4 would have been.

I did switch to rfs from ext4 which might have helped a bit. Of course people who went the other way claim it helped too. Probably just cleans things up a little during the conversion.

I came, I saw... I left confused
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
Next version solves most of the lag issues, also fixes launcher getting killed in T19.. still fixing a few things but a final release will be soon...will probably bump it up to 0.2.x, since there's so many changes/fixes

Please no transparency on the notification pull down. That is the most annoying thing I have ever seen. Leave that to installable themes please! I can't stand having my notification text blend with the background where it can barely be read.

To each his own on that but why do you need transparency on the notification pull down when you are there for about 10 seconds to see your notifications? Is there something in the background that you might miss in that time? Don't get it.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:

[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
I ran into the same issue not sure if i did something wrong or what but it would be nice if we could get directions for using uot with this rom in the op or sumthing.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
I always download the ROM first, extract the framework-res.apk file and systemui.apk from that ROM to upload to UOT kitchen. Once the files are modified from the kitchen and downloaded, replace them in the ROM ZIP then flash because I could never get it to work either flashing in CWM. I do this for each new ROM release before I flash to ensure I get the mods with the same flash with no extra steps later.

[Captivate Android Development] joedoe:
Which block contains the /system partition?
[Captivate Android Development] existz:
The tweaks being off really isn't going to effect battery life..if anything you want to have noatime enabled, better on the sdcards life, better battery..etc.. but the rest are not going to effect battery that much, if even at all.. you don't want the conservative governor enabled, use kernel default, same goes for deadline scheduler, use the kernel default, its a mix between deadline and noop. But I only use noatime, sdcard tweaks (just sets readahead to 1024, default is 512). If you are on the latest talon, (t17+), having the swappiness tweak enabled will disable swap/zram, I recommend having the swappiness tweak disabled. The minfree tweak is disabled, does not work (you can change lmk settings in /etc/lmk.conf

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Go back to the Continuum themes, download C5.x(depends on version of C5 you are running) FULL REVERT, and flash it. It undo anything the theme you flashed did. Its also a good idea to flash the revert between themes, if your going from one theme to another.
[Captivate Android Development] leoriver42:
I recently noticed a new problem after flashing: Sometimes, not always, when I want to see a video inserted on a web page (from youtube for example), the video seems to load but instead of playing it just crashes or something and closes my browser (stock or Dolphin), taking me to the desktop.

No idea if your sleep death could have anything to do with the fact your using VC but there is a new app called control freak that was written for gingerbread use. Its done by the same guy who did VC EX. Go in the themes and apps section to get it just so you have the most current app.

[Captivate Android Development] lifanus:
About 2 weeks of normal use, a few observations:

Only ROM that my captivate GPS works well and locks fast.

"Phone Memory Getting Low" keeps showing during input method switch, Perfect Keyboard works less good than Gingerbread and have higher Mem useage.

When charged, phone starts to discharge itself really quick instead of stay on USB power. (sometimes phone would display 100% charged, but when usb cable is unplugged and phone restarted, battery drops down to less than charged say from 100% to 92% suddenly)

Some occasions phone would sleep and go blank screen and won't be able to turn it back on unless unplug battery...

Java io error in Picasa Tool app: Installed first under Continuum 5.3 or 5.4 and worked fine to view albums. But now under 5.5 I get the error. It could always be some other aspect of my set up: loaded Talon 1.7r2 and a 5.5 theme Green Gingerbread 7.0...

Google Voice App keeps crashing

Hi,

I searched through the thread and couldn't find anything on this subject but since I've upgraded to 5.5 Google Voice keeps crashing!

I can still see when someone sends me a text message on GV through the notification bar on top but any attempt to open "Voice" app crashes with "process com.google.android.apps.googlevoice has stopped unexpectedly".

Did anyone experience the same? any solution for that?

Thanks,

Gil.
[Captivate Android Development] lifanus:
In Settings->Location & Security-> Make sure "Use Wireless Networks" is disabled. That way when you turn on your location service, it won't use wi-fi.
[Captivate Android Development] lifanus:
Go to Settings-Applications->manage applications->Downloaded, find Google Voice, open it and click "Clear Data" and "Clear Cache" button if they are not grayed out.

If not working, try uninstall Google voice in titanium backup and reinstall through the market.

Try calibrating battery with this method:

Charge to 100% (phone on)

Turn off, plug back in. Don't be surprised if it takes 10-20 minutes for it to reach full.

Turn phone on, charge to full.

Power off, charge to full again.

On, charge.

Off, charge. At this point, it should only take about 15-30 seconds for phone to reach 100%.

Before turning phone on again, boot into recovery (vol up + power). Clear battery stats (its under advanced on main cwm menu). Reboot.

I used this procedure and it seems to help the charging issue alot (i am hesitant to say it fixed it).

If this helps your charging problem, thank shoman94, not me. Its his calibration method.

[Captivate Android Development] artvandalay22222:
Ok so here is my gps question.

I read a few posts where people claimed they got a new captivate under warranty and the gps on the new one works fine. So I finally had enough and went to the att store and they gave mea new one. It came with preloaded froyo and gps seemed perfect. it locked very quickly, was had no problems with accuracy, and stayed locked.

I had about an hour and a half driving after that, it worked flawlessly.

Of course, continuum 5.5 was released that day and I had to try it. Now my gps is about as bad as it was on my old captivate.

My question is, if they fixed the hardware and the settings in the rom are meant to fix the gps on captivates with bad gps, could it be why my gps is bad now? Would there be a way to get a version if the rom with no gps fix?

GPS changes in changelog

I see GPS is not working well for some people and they are looking for a change/improvement. Personally, my GPS is working better than it has on any ROM so far (and I've tried many builds).

Cezar, if you do make any tweaks to GPS in a future version, could you include the V5.5 GPS config settings or a .zip flash file, etc in case it gets worse for some of us? I'm not even trying any other ROMs other than Continuum at this point since everything is working so well.

Also, I can not get AngryGPS to launch the lbstest menu. I am running ADW EX and I choose "custom shortcut", pick your activity>activities, expand AngryGPS and I have tried several of the items - the top AngryGPS, AngryGPS (.AngryGPS), AngryGPS(.SuplSettings), etc and they all just launch the location and security menu. Does anyone have any suggestion? I'd like to see the current config.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Unlike before with lbstest, gps has to be on to use AngryGPS. Try The custom shortcut again, with gps on. You should see the same menu as you saw in lbstest.

Also, SGS Tools is up to beta 4.8. Wilson includes a dialer shortcut for AngryGPS:

Are you undervolting?
[Captivate Android Development] lifanus:
Hmm sorry to hear that, I used to have a few programs force closure on me and uninstall did the trick.

If not and you have everything backed up in titanium backup(exclude Google voice), do a oneclick restore to 2.1, then reinstall the GB kernal, install talon and reflash the rom(as described in continuum installation instruction). Finally, "wipe data and reset to factory" and clear the delvic cache in recovery. Wont take more than 20 min and may just cure all the problems with force closure.

Hope it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Odin one click will reflash the bootloaders. If you want to go back to stock, use cezar's safe jf6 method in the op. It does the same thing as 1click, without the bootloaders. Also, you said to flash the kernel twice (Talon IS a GB kernel).
