I very rarely go back to stock.

I have not followed all your comments but these are the things I do

Auto rotation off

Wifi sleep, never

Uv heavy in 400 as your phone is likely to spend allot if time at that using platypus or glitch.

Battery monitor off

I use jl3

I am at 37% unplugged at 6:30 at using platypus moderate use

If battery is draining fast try reboot
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
Hey guys. Is anyone having issues with voltage control?? It keeps defaulting me back to conservative? Or is it miui because I am sitting at 3% battery?

Here is something I noticed on 1.6.10, when headphones are plugged in and I get a notification the miui music player begins to play a song. This also happens in Settings > Common > Notification Ringtone, when I press play for any notification ringtone.

This does not happen when the headphones are unplugged.

Glitch kernel v10b-vc.

Thanks for the reflash advice. I noticed that the problem stems from the random reboots caused by apps that use SMS permission needing to be set to always. I had the Yahoo Mail app (Which used SMS permission for some reason), and I had set it to always to get rid of the issue. However, I then realized that I didn't need the app and uninstalled it. The uninstall made my phone reboot, and when it came back, the home button/no lock screen bug began.

So this time, before I reflashed, I deleted my Yahoo Mail back up. When I reflashed and restored all of my backed up stuff the issue was gone.

EDIT: May have called it too soon. I rebooted because the XDA app was stuck at a connecting to server screen, and Wi-Fi was moving sluggishly overall. Now the bug seems to have returned once more for some reason. Reflashing one more time.

Can someone please tell me how to get bln back?
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
Alright thanks. I really would hate to have to go back to stock, or even reflash it but I will if modem change doesn't do anything. Its weird, I've been on miui since like beta 4 and I've been one of the few people to not get bad battery but I guess everything changes at one point!

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.

-125 heavy for 400? Its been 7 hours for me and I'm down to 14%.... my phone says its been sleeping though...

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
I thought I saw a post from Task which said how flashing Miui from stock/master clear ended up with better battery performance. Task might have more information on this.

I just flashed 1.6.10 over 1.5.13 (or was it 1.5.20..) and updated the kernel to Glitch v10b-vc along with the June 6 modem KP1, battery life is not the greatest.

7h from 100%, I am at 41%. Display 35%, Cell Standby 29% and Voice Calls 19%.

CPUSpy shows 100mhz and deep sleep the most active. Very little on 1000mhz, 800mhz and 200mhz.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
That's pretty good. I personally use -150 on 400mhz. Seems to be pretty stable for me.
[Captivate Android Development] provoked:
If the SMS is causing your reboots I would suggest going into the Superuser app and setting their permissions. This will fix the random reboot. Just check the log section and then allow those programs access.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
What is the exact server address you changed yours to? I wanna try.

You can simply change north-america to us like us.pool.ntp.org

I have a question. We all being talking about kernels modems installing versions and so on but my question is, can the captivate play video even in HD. Right now I'm trying. To play 300 mp4 file and current apps to play them don't work. No pictures are show

And when you forward it you can see the. Movie
[Captivate Android Development] pj1000:
Phone turns itself on after it's been turned off when the charger is plugged in. In other words, won't charge when turned off. My second kernel (Platypus now) - still won't stay off. I've seen mention in the thread of this problem but couldn't find a response or any help to fix. Ideas? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Depends on the video. Consider that AOSP has no codecs. Samsung ROMs have every codec known to MAN! Try a different player from the Market, have others suggest them. But generally, if you need videos, go with Samsung ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
Yea tried other players but the miui apps that handle video (movies) and (video) always open and the player I want to use never runs. Anyways that's my only headache other. Than that I love this rom

[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
My phone has been charging all night, and it's only to 98% that doesn't seem normal. Now it just went to 100%..

It randomly rebooted and now it says 94%..

My Captivate runs MIUI!! From XDA App.
[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
This happens. its a battery thing. It will charge to 100% but if it stays plugged it it will drop to 98. I think its a feature to save the battery,like a built in power regulator, not a bug. think of it like a car engine. If you floor it in park and leave it there rpms redline. But if you let off the gas and dont have so much going to the engine, the engine will last longer. Hope that made sence. Sorry fir lame analogy lol its too early :)
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Strange. I have no problem on battery indication and battery life at all.

I also don't encounter random reboot or shutdown. My configuration is at my signature. This combination is quite stable for me.
[Captivate Android Development] buresh.kevin:
I'm gonna see if battery life is better today, if not I'll go back to sock. I'm surprised how easy it is now to flash this from stock! So all you have do is use odin, root it, install clockworkmod through Rom manager(?), wipe data/factory reset & wipe cache partition, and flash the package?
[Captivate Android Development] 41LY45:
Same as yours, except the modem is JQ1.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Maybe you should change the modem and reflash the kernel. Don't forget to apply the cleaning script zip too.

Check your Voltage Control too. Wipe all those profiles and boot settings. Then, recreate them again.

MicroSD card

I just installed 1.6.10 after using (and loving 1.6.3)

I noticed in 1.6.3 my microSD was not working. I just get a message that its now safe to remove my SD card. I thought 1.6.10 might fix this but apparently not. I have searched this thread and did not find any reference to this. Am I missing something?

Look in your sd card for a folder called, external_sd.

If it's not there, created one, then reboot.

Hi guys,

I just flashed the latest MIUI coming from the latest CM7 nightly. I followed the OP exactly but have a quick question. My status bar signal doesnt turn green when i connect to a google account. I can access everything from market to google talk and get H, 3G, E... but they never turn green. The bars stay white or black depending on what screen im on. Anyone have any idea?

Also when i go to call settings, i try to enable call waiting and i get a Network/Sim error?

Hope someone can help.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
That's how it works. It charges to 100% and drains from there. Remember when it never went beyond 94%? Atinm adjusted it so it shows 100%. It doesn't charge more, the meter is just adjusted to hit full. It uses a full charge as a baseline to calculate percentage. When you reboot, it loses that full charge baseline and reverts to the standard hardware meter, which goes only to 94%. So if you reboot, you'll lose a few %s but your battery isn't actually lower. And as you can imagine, the lower your battery is, the less of a difference a reboot will make in % lost. It's a similar system to the one Samsung uses for their ROMs. Hope that helped :)
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
Yes i cleared data, turned on compability mode, etc, my camera stop working at all on MIUI. just fcs all the time
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Did you go from a Samsung Gingerbread ROM to 1.6.3? Because external SDs work fine.

If you went from Eclair bootloaders in the first place and it gives you that, try formatting /system /data /datadata /cahce and flashing 1.6.10 clean. Still error? Flash back to stock.

In MIUI they don't turn green (thank god). They used to but it looked very out of place. The theme is much more uniform now. Everything is fine if they don't turn green, mine don't either :)

Sorry, I cant help with call waiting.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Seems like battery drain is worse with Glitch than with Escapists. I got better battery life before flashing Glitch kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
They got rid of the green gingerbread icons. They are using their own custom icons.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
Just do exactly as proto stated. Make an external_sd folder on the root of your SD. Done deal. Just like in the pic.

Hey guys, I was wondering if this ROM supports Wolfson DAC, or Voodoo sound?

Thanks :)
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Yes it does. Depending on kernel I think.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Install any kernel and you shall have Voodoo Sound. It's kernel level stuff :)
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Lol. True.

If you guys have problem on battery with Glitch Kernels, just use other kernels. I have no problem with Platypus Kernel here.

As for the green icons, thanks God they'd disappeared.

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Thank god indeed lol. The theme back in the early stages was TERRIBLE. Glad it looks so nice now! Especially with the Dark UI, which actually looks good when swiping from a black bar into a black notif bar.

It's not a problem, the battery is only slightly worse. Good, but a few hours less than Escapists. Smoother though, I think.
[Captivate Android Development] jel7:
Thanks for the reply, but I went to the market and tried to install it and it said my kernel was unsupported :S

Stock kernel is unsupported, yes. I meant any other kernel, like Glitch or Escapists or Platypus. I apologize for the confusion :)

Glitch kernel v10b-vc.

Same here actually, just tested.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
It's your headphones that are causing the problem. Certain headphones cause the media player to start, it's an android bug.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
Seems like there is a problem with 1.6.10 and glitch 10b kernel combo.

my cpu keeps staying at 1 Ghz all the time and i think it causes faster battery drain. Will try another kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Really? Mine do that and they never have on any other ROM or older versions of MIUI (before 1.6.3). Bose MIE2. Works on any other ROM. Any way it can be fixed?

I noticed that too. Set the governor to Conservative and it'll drop below 1 GHz.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Just flash another kernel which have Voodoo Control over it.

But, before flashing a new kernel, make sure you apply the Ultimate Kernel Cleaning Script, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13224453&postcount=7318 to play safe. Then, only flash the new kernel.

Kernel recommendation from me:

a.) CM7 Platypus

b.) CM7 Glitch(I got random shutdown with this :mad:)
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Anyone know how to get BLN working?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i tried that but pimp my cpu said it is not supported for some reason. i'll jusy stick with platypus kernel since it works with me..
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'd use Voltage Control, the new version is absolutely great.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
oh ok. i'll give it a shot. thx. ;)

edit. it works!! and new version of voltage control app is great as you said!! thx again!! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
Weird thing happened to me just now. My lock sounds, keyboard sounds etc stopped working. I reflashed the kernel but no go. Everything else seems fine?
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
I think it is on by default if you are using bln supported kernel.

Check setting if it is on.

settings -> system -> led settings -> pulse notification (on) / led color (default. i think it is green)
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
same here. they are gone all of sudden.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Flash this 1st, http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=13224453&postcount=7318 before you flash a kernel. It's a cleaning script that OP included.

Sometime, it can fix some problems for you.
[Captivate Android Development] drancid:
i always flash kernel cleaning script first before i flash kernels but it doens't fix this problem.
[Captivate Android Development] rizzo269:
Tried the kernel cleaner for the heck of it and still no sounds. I switched themes too and nothing. Very strange.

[Captivate Android Development] amucinom:
it might sound kind of noob-ish but how can i reflash it?? haha
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
The ROM? Format the 4 partitions and flash the ROM again. You'll lose all your data/settings to TiBu backup. For me, it started generating MD5sums again after that.

thanks! ill try that! but yeah i was talking about the recovery hahaha

Ugh, just wipe /system /cache, then flash Miui. Test.

Going back to CM7, wipe /system and /cache, then flash CM7 zip.

Obviously you may want to re-flash kernels and modem/radio for best results.

[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
On the headphones being plugged in causing the Miui Music player to play a song when a notification ringtone is played, I agree. Has never behaved this way with previous Miui releases. Happens both on Glitch kernel and escapists kernel (v5.3 + nightly 4). I'll have a look in the debugger to see if there is anything funny going on. I'd even bet removing the Miui music player app would work-around the problem for now.

On the question of going back and forth between CM7 and Miui, are you using the Nandroid backup in Recovery or the backup application in the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=982337

You need > CM7-OCkernel.5.3.zip (5.81 MB, 1153 views) and CM7-OCkernel.nightly.4.zip (4.09 MB, 352 views) in Post 3.

It's what I am currently using and to my eye, battery life is 5-10% better.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
You can bounce between MIUI and CM7 with no issues at all. Before changing between the two roms, remember to format system, cache, and data. Doing this will not wipe what you already have on your SD card including any backups in CWM.

[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
If you have no service, check in Settings > System > About Phone > More Information > Look at Baseband Version. If there is no data there, either you need a newer CM7-Radio or need to update your kernel to the latest (including nightly updates).

It is not a problem with miui. Your issue us unique. I have fully functional external sd. Have had so for a long time.
