holy crap...had the same thing happen to me while i was on Mosaic VI....i didn't have my gmail acct synced...rather i didn't have any contacts on my gmail acct...but some sent out fishy emails to ALL of my contacts on hotmail...i had to delete all my contacts and change my password for hotmail...wow...i thought i was the ONLY one...are there security holes in this rom? never had a problem with other roms...if there is then that's a pretty serious issue....please look it over Collective...that's something i will not put up with again
[Captivate Android Development] BWolf56:
I'd suggest to simply use a different one (dolphin is a nice one).

Bad connection probably. Make sure the little trap is completly opened and that your usb is correctly connected.

Not in this version.

I'd suggest to try a different kernel (Talon 5.1 perhaps).
[Captivate Android Development] evrionis:
should i try talon 5.2.5 instead of 5.1?
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyhans:
I confirm similar things. To be honest ive had issues with every 2.3.5 rom so far. My experience has been that any time I don't have a strong wifi signal I get disconnected. Then my battery starts to drain as it constantly tries to reconnect.

during the typing of this I've lpost connecton again. I have the tab 10.1 right next to me and it is showing 3 signal bars and working fine.

Does any of this make.sense?

Hrm... Angry GPS is missing. Is there a way to add it back in? I need to clear GPS data so I can get good GPS signal whenever I switch modems.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
My guess is you can grab it from older ROM and install it. Might need to convert to a system app with titanium backup. Like I said only a guess might not work
[Captivate Android Development] ChikiBujia:
You are joking right? Just like Kanji? (Btw Kanji, I played the Law and Order soundtrack in my head while I read your post :-P )

In case you are not joking, or someone else thinks this is ROM related, it is not!

Hotmail is a very sh**** email service, and pretty much all my friends with a hotmail account have been hacked. I used to have one and was also hacked.

Not sure about Kanji's Gmail problem, but I can assure you, it is not ROM related.

I would suggest a better and stronger password.

Battery stats

I'm not a heavy user but thought I would post this for those who may ask hows the battery on M8. I'm on ATT BL's and Talon 5.2.5 standard, lagfixed disabled. 5.1, as well as DC didnt play well with my phone. Man these are finiky.
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
MVIII best one so far guys :D

Now I don't know if this is out of my own stupidity or not, but I was updating a few things on my phone and SU says to update binaries. So I do....

Now whenever I reboot my phone, i get a loop from the bootanim to a restart of the phone. I fixed it twice by clearing cache and dalvik cache then rebooting... but now not even that will work. Long time at the bootanim, the phone restarts. Before I flash the ROM again, any suggestions? Got some texts I wanna save before killing them all =/
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
I updated my SU binaries and didn't have any bootloops. Maybe reflash just the kernel to see if the loops stop?

I had updated my binaries too, and neither have any problems with SU.

I do not think that the dialer crashing after a call is related to BT. I also am a heavy BT user... in the car. The phone dialer crashes almost every time after ending a call, BT or not. Works fine when you open it back up, so it is not a large deal but I would love to fix it.

I have not had a sleep death since I put the i9000 bootloaders on. Three days now, and at least two without rebooting. Good battery life.
[Captivate Android Development] Primus76:
Jinxed myself. Woke up to first sleep death. If it happens again i'll try out talon.

Hope this helps...I've tried TalonDev + Big Mem and still get random sleep deaths.

I'm beginning to think that perhaps it's lockscreen related, so I'm testing the Epic lock now versus AOSP lock, which I was getting problem with (in addition to the 4 tab lock).

EDIT: Happened with Epic lock. Going back to Load Monitor app + 4 tab with Talon Dev big mem.

Well my wife's battery life was terrible. I tried Talon. Didn't help it that much.

So I tried the suggested Semaphone kernel. I think that is what it is called..

Just checked with her and she had 75% left after it being on for over 10 hours !

You can download it here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1338372
[Captivate Android Development] Bane99:
Tried it again. Pulled the battery and voila, back in business.

Backed everything up, and reflashed with a new download. Working fine now. Have Talon Bigmem downloaded just in case it happens again :)

I'm not really worried about doing Odin, the thing is this is a coworker and I am not going to take his phone home. I want to be able to do this at work but we can not install programs on the comps here. I wanted to just flash this the normal way but the bootloader thing is pretty confusing and a clusterfuck in my opinion. I guess I'll just let him know he's stuck with CM7 unless he wants me to take his phone for a day.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
Yeah, I was in NO way implying that it was ROM related. I was thinking more along the lines of App related. I am wondering if I picked up a malware app.

Since I've changed my passwords to both my Hotmail, and Gmail Accounts(Dont use the Hotmail anymore, just testing to see if it happens again). I have had nothing else happen. The cool thing about the Gmail issue, was Gmails AMAZING spam filter caught every single outgoing email! Is that cool or what??!!

I'm also still in the hunt for where it came from actually. I've un-installed MS Outlook in my PC just to see if maybe the corruption came from my desktop. I just gots to know!
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
On a side note;

Reinstalled M8, ran it for a day or 2 on the stock kernel. Changed out out with Semaphone big mem. Charged to 100%, doing a battery cal. Had 35%, restarted the phone, it dropped to 2% at reboot, and actually went up to 13%, without charging! Now back down to 2% again. Thats a new one on me

I am having the same issue. I did not restore anything bluetooth related. I odined back to GB Stock, flashed M8, downloaded everything from the market. I can pair and connect my bluetooth without incident, however, after my second phone call, the "com.phone.android" force closes and my bluetooth still shows connected, however it does not work for phone calls or music.

I have disabled bluetooth and renabled with my headset turned off but the icon still shows it is connected. I have replaced the kernel and modem, but I still get the force close.

Does anyone have any way of resolving this issue without re-flashing?

Sounds like an issue with the themed phone apk. Maybe grab the one from the mosaic 7 zip and see if that works

Anyone else having a problem with Swype? I flashed MVIII a few days ago and it was running phenominal. I upgraded my version of Swype to the newest one and the phone became very laggy and unresponsive.

It isn't that big of a deal since the MTM keyboard is a nice alternative, but it just seems weird that a keyboard is causing that..

I am having issues with WIFI tethering. Tried DC, Talon, Semaphore, different modems, etc (reflashed M8 back to stock even)

Cannot seem to get Wifi tethering to work. Go into mobile AP, turn it on, and get error. Sometimes the laptop will connect to it, but only for a couple of seconds.

Anyone else experience this, or have a fix?

Tasker and GPS

I have a question for you guys. I setup tasker to reboot my phone daily for the memory leak issue with the Talon kernel. So now I want my GPS to turn on and off when starting Google maps and other navigational programs. When I select GPS under Misc I get the message it isn't supported under this ROM and to consider installing Cyanogen which doesn't have the Google restrictions. No offense to the Cyangen team but I wouldn't even consider that after using Mosaic VIII. Can someone tell me how to turn off this restriction?

Thanks for all of your hard work guys super awesome ROM!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] bkimbel:
Just leave GPS on all the time. It will only activate itself when it needs to (like when you start up Foursquare, maps, navigation, my tracks, etc.) Otherwise it very intelligently stays off, conserving battery life. You'll see it turn itself on on the status bar.
[Captivate Android Development] Devo7v:
I've noticed the icon too, but I still think it's draining the battery. Can somebody confirm or deny this? I'm curious also because I had Tasker doing the same thing up until Gingerbread.

[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
I've always been running my cappy with the Gps turned on and never noticed any battery drain from it. The fact that its on does not mean it consumes energy (tho the point of draining it), it just mean you make it available to the system so any apps that will generate a gps request will have access to it.
[Captivate Android Development] NunHugger:
I never turn it off...but I ain't a battery miser who turns everything off and underclocks. I just use my phone and enjoy it. I get through a 16 hour day with moderate usage and about 3 hours of music listening. For days with heavier use, I have plenty of places to charge. Instead of buying an app to shut your stuff down...just buy another charging cord. I have one at work, one in my car and two at home.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I ran into this one too. No work-around, as this is acting exactly as designed for Android. CM will let you do what you wish, which has always been part of their gig.

I do not believe having the toggle for GPS on, in itself, uses any battery. That is simply a permission you set to allow it to use when needed. That said, many apps will turn GPS actually on and in theory could drain battery (Latitude is a killer on battery, but even the browser will use it to refine searching). But the permission to do so does not seem like it would drain anything. If your beautiful widget location service is wonky, all bets are off.

I have not seen GPS causes of battery drain since early GB and the Maps/Latitude thing at that time.

Your turn Nun

If you have it in you to get it up one more time the source for ICS 4.01 was just released a few hours ago. Not sure if the old Cappy can take one more...

Would love to see M9 with ICS.

Don
[Captivate Android Development] jmtheiss:
I'm thinking if there is a new Mosaic based on ICS, it won't be Mosaic. In much the same way that Firefly/Phoenix/Supernova became Mosaic when the jump to GB happened, I would guess that The Collective would release a new ICS rom.

Just my two cents, though.
[Captivate Android Development] JRock80:
Will replacing the phone.apk break anything else in this rom? Is there a link to the old builds as I don't have the previous download?
[Captivate Android Development] trekie86:
The source for ICS was release but not the firmware from Samsung for the I9000 or the Captivate. The GB ROMs are based upon leaked I9000/i897 Samsung firmware. It will take Samsung doing something with it or a very adventurous dev to get ICS on the cappy.
[Captivate Android Development] rquiett:
It shouldn't break anything else. I don't have a link but i'm pretty sure nun does. Maybe he will come in and help out
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Just went through this last night, I replaced the phone.apk with an older one (not a Mosaic one :rolleyes: ) that I had themed and broke things, FC after FC. I had to stick the original M8 one back in and then all was fine. I themed the M8 one and everything is fine. :cool:

I think the reboot on the quick panel does not ask for confirmation. Since all the new quick panel settings appeared in VIII, I haven't had to hold down the power button (other than for the occasional sleep death).
[Captivate Android Development] silvertag:
Both panel have a confirmation type window. The quick panel reboot button will ask what type of reboot you want (Reboot,Download,Recovery). The power button menu will show a Power off confirmation window.
[Captivate Android Development] paracutin:
I haven't had sleep death but the lagging from the memory leak is getting annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Has anyone had a "sleep death" while having either the glass or puzzle lockscreen?

Also, I do not think it is a sleep death exactly, as the last time it happened I was able to get a volume adjustment beep out of it while the screen was still off.

Is is possible to back out the multi-lockscreen code to see if that is what is causing the device to not come back when this happens? Probably not :). I am back up to 2+ days since the last time, and I changed to the glass to see if it makes a difference. phone process still dies more often than not after a call, but that is pretty rare for me. Everything else running great.
[Captivate Android Development] Bogie1:
There should be a Drop Caches and Clear ZRAM buttons in Memory Freak that you can clear and that should help somewhat. See this post http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18616334&postcount=5326 hopefully this will help you.

Also, you may want to try and change the settings in MF and see if that helps as well. The settings I use are memory for Background apps - 36MB, ZRAM set to - 160 and Swappiness at 60, I get good performance and battery life. I am running TalonDEV 0.5.1 RC1 1200
