Not having the problems you are. I have been on numerous calls throughout this morning, each over 20 minutes long.

Maybe your phone doesn't play well with Talon. Mine doesn't. Have you tried flashing Xcal's kernel to see if you get the same behavior? You mentioned you haven't changed the default kernel included in C5.6...
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
After the update, I have 2 YouTube apps. I know that the update included a better version of YouTube, but I can't tell which one to uninstall.
[Captivate Android Development] ralphreyes:
I was using Serendipity 7 and its custom kernel. When I upgraded to C5.6 and restored my apps with tibu I didn't lose my apps upon the first reboot. Can you tell me if there's something else that may have been removed?

[Captivate Android Development] rkkaranrk:
can i flash this Rom over serendipity VII direct from CWM or do i need to be on stcok. 2.1/2.2
[Captivate Android Development] Uncle Irish:
Use Uninstaller. Only 1 will uninstall properly. Or, don't restore YouTube when restoring your apps. Or, use Go Launcher and long press to delete from the app menu. One will jiggle, one won't.
[Captivate Android Development] andrewdroid:
As long as you didn't install Continuum5.6 from Clockworkmod 2.5, it should be fine I think.
[Captivate Android Development] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
I came over from serendipity VII today... I followed the instructions in the second post and flashed continuum then reboot directly into recovery. I then had CWM3 and reflashed continuum.

Working great for me now.
[Captivate Android Development] mikeyman2171:
I just installed from cwm 2.5 2 min ago its possible BUT you have to install the rom, then go to advanced settings and reboot to recovery and install again unless you dont mind losing all of your settings.
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Or you could flash the talon kernel from the talon thread through odin make sure auto reboot is unchecked. When complete, pull battery put battery back in hold volume up & power to get to recovery and install 5.6. Of course make sure you have 5.6 on your phone before starting this process. This is probably quickest because of the load time in the other processes.

You will have CWM 3 when you boot to recovery since the talon kernel you are flashing contains CWM 3.

i dont understand why every gingerbread rom has problems with video playback?? is there a solution for this??
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Flashed Xcal's latest without voodoo. Ran it for a little while. Just got off the phone with my girlfriend, soft reboot.

Also, everytime this happens, it takes an extraordinarily long time to finish booting. Almost like the caches were cleared.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
What type of problems? I haven't done any extensive watching, but I've done quick tests of several videos and haven't seen any obvious issues.
[Captivate Android Development] tmng95014:
+1.

What ROM are you using? Kernel? I have not seen any issue with Continuum 5.5 and now 5.6.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Try updating flash player (current is 10.3) and check tweaks to see if stagefright is dis abled
[Captivate Android Development] rahlquist:
I am having trouble with 5.6. When I got home today I tried to get it to connect to wifi. I opened the txt file I keep that has my wifi key copied and pasted it in and got;

Unable to save the network

After some playing around I found that I could save any network I wanted as long as the key was not a full 63 characters. Can anyone else verify this one?

Anyone else cant get facebook to sync with contacts?? On S7 it didnt work either.

5.6 Lockscreen

does anyone else have problems? i cant change the wallpaper and which one decides the lock screen, displeasure one or Lockscreen Menu? Thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
I was having trouble on and off the last couple days too. Working for me all day now. Found a bunch of people online (with various phones) having the same issue.

Seems to be a general android/facebook issue.

[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
For some reason it took several attempts but after like 3 reboots and half a dozen attempts it just finally took my credentials and started working. That was late last night and it has been syncing fine ever since.
[Captivate Android Development] Peaster111:
I must admit I'm not having any of the issues in the last few posts. I'm still using "5. 5". Which I've modded/updated

quite a bitWhile I downloaded 5.6. I used select files icezar
[Captivate Android Development] Nickel Dime Bay:
Thanks, guess ill keep trying to sync.

BTW my phone hates Talon kernel, im not OC'd or on EXT4 and im gettin soft reboots for no reason...Xcals it is :)
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
Definitely saw that same issue last night after 5.6 came out, it eventually worked last night.
[Captivate Android Development] djoanes:
I too am having this issue.. has anyone resolved it?
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I've been on Continuum since the Release Candidate stage, and it still amazes me how bad the battery life is and how laggy the phone is.

For a long time, I was on 5.5 and was running xcal's kernel with RFS and just about every app I don't use on a daily basis frozen. This got me just barely acceptable battery life.

Since moving to 5.6 yesterday, I've left everything alone except for freezing a bunch of apps - maps, bluetooth, etc.

I guess I'll convert to RFS and xcal's kernel again.

I like the ROM in general and I know everyone has differing experiences, but it's just surprising that the phone could drain battery this fast and be so laggy. It makes me miss Froyo to some degree.

On the plus side, this is by far the best GPS I've ever had.

I haven't gone to any of the other ROMS because I gather from reading the other threads that they're all pretty much the same.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Quit freezing all of those apps, they just try to restart eating more battery. Pointless to keep trying to shutdown something that only has a placeholder in the memory, most of the apps that are supposedly using memory are not, with a good memory use viewer, , you'll see that even after you kill apps that you haven't used in 10 mins your free memory doesn't change. 2.3.3 has great built in memory management, you might be totally fighting it and causing more issuesthan are being solved.

Just IMO due to the fact that I'm OCed and get well over 30 hrs regularily on my phone with just about every rom I've flashed. I refuse to use app killers due to them severly cutting down the performance and battery life since 2.2, absolutely no need for them or that practice.
[Captivate Android Development] contradude:
My girlfriend gets well over two days of battery life and her phone is as fast as my epic. Did you follow the installation instructions to a T? Backup data, wipe data x3, odin to the stock rom on page 1, use the kernel package there and then flash continuum? Dont freeze apps and do not move apps to sd card on continuum
[Captivate Android Development] mgfjd:
There is something wrong with your phone buddy.. installation or something... Gingerbread is a lot faster and smoother than any Froyo Rom..Froyos were really good Roms. There is no way I am back to Froyo after Gingerbread..
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Depending on what you have installed/restored your battery will last as wise. Run the rom without restoring any app, just with what you use and dont restore anything until you need it.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
no, i will see if i can make a version for 5.6
[Captivate Android Development] Overgloc:
Wow great work 5.6 gave the best battery life ever! 93% with 8 hours of off and on use!!
[Captivate Android Development] MaxRabbit:
On 5.6 with Xcals kernel and JQ1 modem and I have never seen such amazing battery life. This is what I'm talking about!

Also, it's the first time, literally ever, that I've unplugged my phone from the charger and had 100% charge. Did you do something to aid the charging, Cezar?
[Captivate Android Development] smackdownn:
Whenever I open an avi video it says "sorry the video cannot be played" is there a solution for this?
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
I'm assuming we can use any themes from 5.5?

[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
No, you cannot. The framework changed quite a lot, if you do you will be caught in a boot loop
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Sorry, checked themes and found out, dumb question.

Sent from the frozen tundra known as Canada.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
works for me... is probably because of the way the video was encoded. btw, if it was working on 5.5 there is no reason why it wouldnt work on 5.6. Make sure that stagefright is not enabled in Tweaks app
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
No matter what the ROM, I have neve had great battery life. I use Launcher Pro with 7 screens, probalby 80 apps on those, along with the FB and calander widgets, Beautiful Widgets weather widget, Clock widget and battery widget, so I do have alot going on. Also, my latest addiction, Words with Friends, is a power monger.

With all that going on, 3 email accounts, I can get 8-10 hours on a normal day. On standby (no games, email checking or calls), I can go 20 hours.

This has been my experience on every ROM I've tried. So I assume it's my phone. My wife has an HTC Inspire, and can go 24 hours or more, with the same usage as I do on my Cappy. She is on stock 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
it's the widgets likely. what are your push notifications set to?
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Yeah, that too. I have gmail (1 account) and Enhanced Email (2 accounts) all set to Automatic push.

After may next full charge, I'll try it w/o the widgets and see what kind of life I get.
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Hi Cesar,

This is by far the smoothest GB rom to date. Great job on this!

Is it possible to repurpose the Android 3.0 Email app on Continuum_v5.6??? Will it work or does it cause other issues??? If anybody has that working well, please post the apk or zip??

If it can't be done, or won't perform well, would it be possible to change a setting to have the current email app to automatically download the whole email without having to tap Load entire email button on the bottom??? It's a pain especially on html emails.

Input from anyone with experience on this issue will be appreciated.

Thanks a lot in anticipation,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I agree with mdoctor 100%. My Captivate has never run so good. Aside from one weird little keyboard selection bug that I fixed easily, 48 hours into 5.6 it has been flawless for me. Thank you very much for all your hard work.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
automatic push notifications... yeah that'll do a **** load of drain. I'd change that. Mine are mostly set to ~1 hr
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I'll try that, thanks
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Or you could set them to manual and get even better battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] nikooe:
hi. I'm on MIUI lock screen an My cappy reboots every time I click on the message button. anybody else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] sstarre:
You need to assign an app to the button ..see settings>lockscreen
[Captivate Android Development] aryn.galadar:
From what I understood, that's a known issue if you don't have the "custom app" set in the lockscreen settings. Make sure you have that set.

[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
If im on serendipity 7 can i just flash this from CWM3?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
As stated before me (just saw the other post) auto push will ready the battery big time, most of mine are twice a day or manual.

I'm running LP Pro with 7 screens, fancy wigets pro, facebook, yoytube, google search, friends, calendar and gmail as widgets with about 120 apps installed, wifi off with screen, OCed @ 1200 MHz with -75 to -100 mV under volting.

Try it with a fresh install, only necessary apps and syncing, samsung apps set to off, etc. just to see how it does. You need to give it a few days our charge cycles for the bat life to level out after a flash also.

From the invisible light.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
you'll have to flash it twice or you'll lose apps after first reboot. Or flash talon kernel first with auto boot uncheck and then go into recovery and flash continumm.
[Captivate Android Development] pwnerman:
how is this rom on talon 0.2.2 and its not even on the thread for this kernel? is it like exclusive lol
[Captivate Android Development] wibi795:
wich rom is more smooth s7 OR continuum dont be dicks just want some feedback
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
yeah, something like that.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Continuum.
[Captivate Android Development] jjtitus098:
You should really try them both yourself. Every Rom seems to run different on each phone. Takes only a bit to flash to something else, so try em both

I opened a thread asking a similar question (comparing two ROMs) but a moderator closed it ! The rationale : UOT is up to the users' preference.

[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Ymmv......
[Captivate Android Development] Frank the Funkasaurus Rex:
I would say continuum. This is the first time I have tried it and I came from s7. S7 was ok but it lacked some refinement others have.

Try both of them. See what you think. Try some other ones too, Mosaic is nice as well.

For me its S7, went from 5.5 to S7 then to 5.6, it just wasnt as smooth as S7 IMO

Not cool guys. This conversation should be taken to the Q&A or General Section.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
i completely agree, this thread should be about Continuum and Continuum only :/
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Asking a question like that always does. This thread is for Continuum and not ROM compares. There is a Q&A for that. Thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
Newbies, why dont you just flash few roms and see for yourself?
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
I fully agree
[Captivate Android Development] MastaBetta:
It seems to be the attitude these days on the forums and in the workplace, why do it myself if I can have someone else do the work for me.

On another note, Continuum 5.6 has been the best rom I've flashed to date. So smooth and fast. Great job Icezar, I can see that you put a lot of work into Continuum. :)
[Captivate Android Development] mugenex:
Anyone have trouble with sound from headphone with 5.6?
[Captivate Android Development] bferguson:
Im a few days behind. I ended up dumping ADW after swearing it was the best forever, and moved back to Launcher Pro. I loved the "running apps" section of the drawer in Go Launcher, but the settings and other portions crash with it. LP is doing me solid atm. Look forward to the new build also. Im scared to switch however. Everything is running so nice with 5.5 and if it aint broke.. ah screw it, pass me .6!
[Captivate Android Development] alexige:
What trouble are you having?
[Captivate Android Development] Seamus1:
Has anyone pinned down the nature, or even a fix, for the problem of the phone rebooting when WiFi is toggled on? That aside, I am loving 5.6 It definitely fixed a few issues I was experiencing while using 5.5. Thanks again to you Cezar, and all who have contributed thus far. I've tried many different custom roms, and this is hands down my favorite!
[Captivate Android Development] Cezar`:
The wifi issue seems pretry random. I never ever had this problem except for when I was running JVB kernels on JVH/JVO, but that was a different matter.
[Captivate Android Development] ridethelight:
Its happened to me once or twice, also when plugging in the usb and mounting to computer.

Had an issue with bluetooth not wanting to work today too, a reboot fixed it.

Still the best rom to date.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Hey icezar1, just wanted to say great job again, 5.6 is my third continuum GB rom and even more fluid than the previous two. 5.4 was also the first GB rom that worked for me thanks to your instructions with all of the Odin settings noted correctly and the all in one package..

Thank you for another great rom. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
It happened to me yesterday, put me into a boot loop. Had to reinstall Continuum. No problems now. It is a very bizarre bug. Hopefully 2.3.4 fixes...
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Ok...what I was experiencing looks to have been a bad flash or a flash on a bad environment. Just for the heck of it, I flashed back to the Froyo version of Continuum to try it out again. Learned Gingerbread has already spoiled me visually, etc. (translation: Don't want to lose the CRT-off effect, lol) So I flashed back to 5.6 and lo and behold, the soft resets after calls are gone, at least for right now. I'm on the default kernel (Talon 0.2.2) OC'd to 1.2 with UV at that step and converted to EXT4. So far it's been pretty solid.

One thing I noticed on this flash as well as the last time...the lockscreen (using the regular Android lockscreen at the moment) will sometimes not "cover" the homescreen. As in, it will be locked and I will see the lockscreen clock and sliders, but I'll still see the homescreen icons and widgets behind the lockscreen as if it were unlocked. Anyone else experiencing this? It's not necessarily a problem, it's just strange, haha.

Oh, and I'm loving the Chainfire3D integration. Just loaded up my first Tegra 2 game with no issues. A lag or two, but most definitely playable/enjoyable. You guys are wizards or something. (areyouawizard.jpg)

EDIT: It should be noted that, when I said "flashed back to to the Froyo version of Continuum," I did so after a JF6 stock flash...
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Out of curiosity, what made you dump ADW? I've been using ADW EX for the longest time. Everytime I try to go elsewhere, I end up back on it missing its unique combination of features/power. If you had only ever used regular ADW, I'd give EX a try. (Costs, but worth it.)
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
This happened to me the first time I turned WiFi on. Phone rebooted twice then it has been flawless since. I just took it as a hiccup with my phone because I could not find where it had been a reoccurring problem for people.
[Captivate Android Development] duuhdave:
Haven't seen anybody really having this problem on 5.6..... I'm experiencing serious problems while charging. The phone is completely charged when I wake up and when I pull it off it goes to 70% or so. I know that samsung doesn't let it charge to 100%, drains battery, then charges again to prevent damage. But 70% is very unusual compared to my normal 90% range. Why am I experiencing this?
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Just found the bug on the Support Forums, so nevermind, haha.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
It's a known issue with GB. Do a search you'll find plenty of post about it. It's usually pretty random. No there's no fix for it at this time.
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Weird, I haven't seen this on Continuum 5.6. I was getting 10-12 hours with Launcher Pro, 80+ apps on 7 screens, and 5 running widgets! Turned off all but one widget, didn't need them all anyway, changed my email send to 1 hours in lieu of auto push. Battery still at 71% after 8 hours, normal use! No gaming yet today!
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Calibrating your battery will help, but it doesn't solve the problem. Here's how I did it:

Charge to full (keep close eye on it, you don't want it falling after it registers full).

Power off, charge to 100% (this can take 10-30 minutes, don't freak out)

Power on, charge full.

Continue off/on charging until it takes less than a minute to reach 100 while powered off.

After last powered off charge, boot into recovery and wipe battery stats.

Use the phone until it shuts itself off, then power back on and charge as usual.
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
This is the charge bug, this is a known issue to which there is no fix for. I have had this issue on every ROM/kernel combo I have used since switching to GB. Sorry to say it, but you're just as screwed as I am, which really sucks =|
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Apparently it's fixed in 2.3.4 (JVP).
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
Is this from personal experience, or heresay? I personally find it hard to believe anyone has had time to do very much charging since jvp was leaked, especially on a Captivate. But, thats just my opinion. I hope your right, cause it seems quite a few people have this problem (including me).
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
a captivate 2.3.4 ROM has been up no more than 6 hours and you're telling me people have had time to test this fully? Nah... don't think so buddy
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
Here-say. Ive never had the problem personally. Some people in the i9000 forum said that they couldn't trigger it by whatever method that worked before. However some are saying that its only mostly gone.
[Captivate Android Development] ThisWasATriumph:
The problem persisted across both i9000 and i897 platforms.
[Captivate Android Development] RN_ReFlux:
Any idea why I can't restore apps + data after switch from mosaic 3 diet to cont 5.6?

Also, did google maps and the youtube app get removed or did I have a bad flash?
[Captivate Android Development] Jep56:
Did you resore ALL Apps & System Data, or Missing Apps & Data? I always use the Missing Apps & Data w/o any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
For some reason they aren't there. I am not sure you want the current maps, better to restore it from an old backup (earlier than v5.4) and not update it. Youtube is in the market, if you use it.
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
I believe Cesar removed the maps app because it was causing some.battery drain due to it always running regardless of stopping it.
[Captivate Android Development] mrhaley30705:
I thought that too, but I don't remember reading it for sure, so I didn't want to pass it along as concrete information. I personally removed maps right after it updated to 5.4, haven't used a current version since. Ive also froze a couple of keyboards and was removing KTLO when it was there.

I just noticed that I still have YouTube. I know I didn't dl it, it must have been in the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] baghera1979:
I think I read it in the support forum, can't remember where but I know I read it.... please correct me if I'm wrong though
[Captivate Android Development] Nerz:
is anyone having problems downloading with the youtube app? everytime i go to download something it shows up on the status bar, then just stops almost instantly.
