I'm thinking there's something wrong with your battery calibration, or the battery itself. The battery consumption of under 50k uAH is a little alarming. Here's a screenshot of my current stats for reference.

Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] Coolman4now:
MIUI hogs the battery like crazy, everyone know this and choose to ignore it.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
I'm not getting that. So far battery is fine for me. IMO it is a matter of what Apps you have on your phone.

Do you flash kernels using CWM?

As in: Reboot into Recovery -> Install from Zip ...or is there a different way for MIUI?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Same installation of kernels

good to flash kernel cleaning script first. Should be linked in op I think
[Captivate Android Development] dngen:
Thank you, I never knew there were kernel cleaning scripts haha.

Does anyone have a kernel they prefer or any suggestions?

The stock kernel seems okay, but I'm looking for something that will give me good battery life =/

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Thanks for this dude! This might be the modem for me. call volume and clarity is great and I have a fair signal where I had none before
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
In regards to the battery drain I experienced, I've used the battery calibration app. Does the same thing as Clockwork recovery does. Charge battery to 100% then delete batterystats.bin, the OS will create a new file.

Tomorrow I will backup, flash to stock Froyo, master clear and finally flash 1.7.29. Hoping that might help.

In regards to apps, I'm still on the hunt for an app which can list which apps have running services, which are auto-start and so on.
[Captivate Android Development] mrgoodwords:
Is there a way to direct the camera to store photos in the external SD card? I don't see that option in the settings. Thanks

Having some trouble with my bluetooth connection. It connects in the morning but has trouble when I have to reconnect later in the day. I can see my headset but it fails to connect when I turn on my headset. Says "paired but not connected." Using 1.7.22 with Glitch 11. Anyone have ideas regarding a method of getting my phone to connect?
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
are you already running MIUI? all you would have to do is change kernel and a couple lib files if you are.
[Captivate Android Development] projectpaki:
na, im on gr-12 right now...
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
so you're on gb bootloaders then. everytime i've changed bootloaders i just go back to stock just to make sure is gonna go correctly and then follow the MIUI steps. i never have problems when i do that.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
1.5.13 will be up soon. Just need to check one thing and then I can upload it.

Also we are using the latest kang kernel since I got the wifi error with the CM7 kernel, and I don't have the time to make a CM7 kernel package.
[Captivate Android Development] SeanHacker:
nice. does it have the miui camera recording in 720p and all that kinda stuff running like in galnets versions? no big deal if not. just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Yes, the MIUI devs added the 720p recording option in their camera.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I love to but i can not upload.at the moment. At work

Mobile Network Settings, Access Point Names crashing again...

Well shoot... the Mobile Network Settings, Access Point Names control is crashing again... I get calls and sms, but no internet, etc. I am at work and can't get to adb to do any debugging, but the symptoms are the same as I was dealing with on RC8. I will play around with modems/kernels for now, but might have to revert to RC7 again until I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] SpaceKebab:
All of a sudden... it wont let me send texts. Its not the - in the numbers issue in the FAQ

Happened the morning after I messed around my *#*#4636#*#*. Switched it to USA then auto band then changedbit from GSM/female auto prl to WCDMA preffered then only. Worked last night after I fiddled with those but it won't now even after attempting to revert it what i remember as the defaults. Could having changed the theme have such a drastic effect?
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
You might want to flash back to stock and try again. You seem to be the only one with that issue.

The "-" problem was fixed in the latest build.

Changing the gsm is what is most likely causing the issue. I know I've had issues changing it, so I usually leave it alone. Try rebooting your phone or flash the new version that came out a couple of hours ago.
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Yeah, my thoughts exactly instead of chasing my tail... I think I can find some time to do that instead of working this afternoon ;)
[Captivate Android Development] boomerod:
:)Haven't really tested anything yet...just flashed...I like what I see so far though. Proto, you're greatly appreciated bro!

--Edit--

BTW, I think you made the right decision going with the latest Kang kernel. Make your package as safe and functional as possible and let the users break stuff. ;)

Well, let's just say I am loving every part of this ROM. Really nice improvements in several areas. GV and MMS are both 100 functional for me without any mods required. Restored all apps from Backup - no FC's or other weird issues. Now, if Kang would Keep the Lights On and the Chineese would give us folder movement for the email app I'd be pretty damn close to giddy!
[Captivate Android Development] Prototype159:
Ha, I spend 3 hours on this, trying to get it to boot. I should of been doing my homework.

Thanks. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] crymzyn:
Haha, it's good to take breaks from the real world... I just sent you a donation, as boomerod pointed out... you are greatly appreciated! Thanks for all of your work on this, and the support you offer day to day. :D

Kind of thinking flashing this, coming from Serendipity VII.. Anyone have opinions? :)
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Just did right now after sitting on Serendipity VII for a while myself. Just testing the waters again after looking at the last few changelogs.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
It is different, nothing like serendipity. Much more customizable, very unique ui. Battery life is worse, I catch you complaining about it I find out where you live ;) if you have i9000 boot loaders, you need captivate boot loaders for your external sd to work.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
I doubt you'll bother with anything else after using MIUI unless you don't have access to a charger ... battery can be brutal sometimes, but things seem to be improving. Stability is at least as good as anything else out there.

Updates don't require restore = :D:D:D:D:D:D
[Captivate Android Development] iRide113:
Battery.. I get 24 hours on one charge with 4 hours of screen time and wifi the whole time... Using Talon and JVO... :cool:

I got tired of running the same samsung rom with a different theme thrown on top of it ; p

I would say miui is the best of both world, I phone and android. At first glance one could say it is like the iphone. Once you run it for a while you realize nothing is like it
[Captivate Android Development] FirstNoobToBrickHisPhone:
Some of the features run so smooth in MIUI, no lag whatsover. I can see why people flock to it.

I prefer the Samsung Roms myself though.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Hey I installed the MIUI.US version. Can you point me to the mods usually added? Are some for battery life? Thought I read something about it. Also I was on NEO10 then on NEO12 which seemed to worsen the battery life some but I love that the backlights stay on with screen on. Any advice?

There is a bunch prototype uses. Difficult to link all.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

Random Reboots

hi everybody i can say that the ROM is great i don't want to change it even i have random reboots but please maybe there is some way to stop this reboots?

i'm on 1.7.29 now

Use a debugger, use log cat, etc. Could even use DDMS but all those require logcat to be enabled.

[Captivate Android Development] vazovskiiii:
is this post for me?
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
I also wanted to know about your battery drainage.

I am not sure if my lousy battery drainage(not very fast finish, but, I hope for more) is due to "not from STOCK & Master Clear" too.
[Captivate Android Development] shoman94:
Looks like dialer is hogging the power. But I'm willing to bet the settings.apk from nexusS could have something to do with it. Have you tried a different modem?

PS maybe the nexusS settings has something to do with it.

I'm using 1.7.29 from MIUI.US, NEO10, BVJJW2 modem.... 6HRS lost 10% last night with WIFI on and set to never sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
I am playing around with different mine fields using the V6 script in hopes that maybe a different setting may improve battery by monitoring the ram usage and preventing run away apps. Its hard to get real results because I flash different **** all the time. If I come across a setting that I feel is worth noting I will share.

as much as I have been able to get good battery life by tweaking things, turning data off, uv, etc the reality is that battery is a sacrifice you have to except to run Miui. Not that it is terrible, just not as good.

Drivers

Could someone point me to the drivers we need for download mode to be recognized by the computer? I looked on Samsung's website and chatted with a Rep and she said "there are no drivers for this device, just plug it in and it will work"(i was looking for the nexus S drivers or do i need nexus one?)

[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Actually, what problem your laptop encountered?

It's good to hear that you're back! Arnold? :D
[Captivate Android Development] GeoMandell:
Ok, couple of questions. Flashed the ROM and I'm loving it.

1) I know the Samsung framework is gone and, as such, SGS tools no longer works (mostly), but is there any other way to control what network bands are selected without the Sammy framework? My signal is pretty poor in certain places on Auto that I know are fine on 850.

2) This is strange. I came over to this from CM7. ANY ROMs I ran before CM7 and MIUI did not have this issue. My issue is that with the Browser and certain other apps (Engadget, etc), when I'm scrolling through the screen, if I move my finger slowly enough, it is not picked up by the touchscreen and I can move it across the screen without actually scrolling through anything. This is especially annoying if I'm trying to scroll precisely. Anyone else encountered this?

AIO Captivate Toolbox is very important, IMO.

It includes the drivers which are even better than Samsung Kies.

Moreover, it have almost everything we need for our Captivate.

However, if you want the ADB Commands(aka debugging mode to work on your PC without problem) to work on MIUI ROM, you'll need the Nexus S Driver I provided previously. :)

At least one of those is an i897 modem, the others all appear to be modems that do not default to 850mhz. Try under shoman suggested, as well as kc1. Unless you don't need the 850mhz band.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Yes, MIUI 1.7.29 is based on Android 2.3.5.

It's official. No cheating.

The reasons that you can't get to see Android 2.3.5 is because the Prototype tweaked MIUI 1.7.29 ROM or the Official English Version MIUI 1.7.29 have some minor bugs(no offense) on that part. So, it's still viewed as Android 2.3.4 visually(although the stuffs inside are all Android 2.3.5). Official Chinese Version MIUI 1.7.29 have no problem on displaying the Android 2.3.5.
