Initial Battery Results

After 24 hours here is what I got with light to moderate use...And I must say that I am very pleased. -- Over 2 hours of Display, Wi-Fi over 22 hours, Just a few minutes of phone calls, but spent some time on YouTube, XDA, Netflix, Web, took some pics, etc., etc. :D

Oh yeah, that battery percentage that is in this pic is...... 49 % !! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
How is that even possible? Do you have auto sync turned on for your Google account? Any battery app? I'm getting like 15 hours a day on Beta 2.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
^ Still using Stock battery that came with the phone, Sync settings are enabled for Background data and Auto-sync, I don't use a live wallpaper, Don't use auto brightness, Don't even use app killers ( just always make sure I use the back button when I exit apps), and I don't use Widgets. Oh yeah, I did not install Google Maps either. And every now and then I check in the Battery Use to make sure that the Android OS isn't eating up an excessive amount of battery...if it is, then a simple reboot fixes it. And I think that's about it. :D
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
YEah Google Maps is a major culprit. I happen to like the Geo tools on the applications that use them so I live with less battery life. But I charge every night and carry and extra battery and since the battery is at 100% in the morning aas opposed to 75% LOL, I rarely need the extra battery.

So did the i897 bootloaders fix the battery charging issue as one person is claiming. Does that mean we can try i9000 ROMs on these bootloaders and not worry about having the battery discharge after 100% is reached overnight?\

WiFI set to never go off....(since changed)

37% left after 9 hours

Display 14%

WiFi 13%

Maps 13%

Android OS 13%

call standby 11%

media server 10%

audioplayer 9% pro amp

phone idle 4%
[Captivate Android Development] rob ben:
I saw the setting on 1, but I dont see it on 2 I wonder if it works by default?

Referring to the Audience chip setting
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Are you saying that it does crash with framework.jar or that the modified one works and the original was crashing?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
Why bother, you already have monumental problems with most of that community. Bootloaders have no effect on charge bug, however. Until the likes of supercurio or, dare I say it, existz come up with the fix, you will just be shadow boxing with finger puppets. There is absolutely no way the problem is in /system or bootloaders, the idea is preposterous. You like putting your money where your mouth is, why not offer A bounty.
[Captivate Android Development] jaydenboy:
Do i need gingerbread bootloader to flash this via cwm?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Just saying, GPS tracking while walking was great.

Also paint on the speaker grill chipped. Flashing SilverSpeakerMod.zip now. Does it work with CWM4?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
you need KF1 bootloaders, the i897 version. Read the OP please.
[Captivate Android Development] Donmotobike:
Finally have cog 5 beta 2 great work dg thanks so far so good just waiting for beta 3 :-)
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Regarding Google Maps

Buy an app called Autostarts.

This little program will let you decide when you want to have an app start.

One of the features of Android is that apps have the ability to start themselves based on various conditions (battery fully charged, drained, wifi on/off, gps on/off, screen on/off, etc). There are a whole slew of conditions that apps can have themselves startup under.

Autostarts gives you the granularity to control each app and what condition it starts up under.

Autostarts is different than a task killer, it doesnt kill the app when it starts, it allows you to decide the conditions on which the app starts in the first place. Task killers kill the battery because the app will start up, the task killer will shut it down and the app will start up again, the task killer will kill it, creating a viscous cycle that uses ALOT of cpu starting and stopping the app. Autostarts keeps the app from starting in the first place.

Using this app and nothing else, I have almost doubled my battery life just by keeping control of apps starting up. I also have nearly doubled my available ram.

Two things worth mentioning, unless you know what you are doing, do NOT disable system apps. Some of them are required in order to just operate the phone. Also, check the settings, you can sort by either event (which it defaults to) or sort by app (clicking an app lists all the conditions in which the app will start).

Just to give you an idea, Maps on Cognition 4.5.3 (the Froyo version of Maps) has the following conditions that it starts up under:

After Startup

Application Installed

Application Removed

Application Replaced

Widget updating (traffic)

Widget updating (Latitude)

Widget updating (Rate Places)

Then there are various system level conditions that it starts under which are also viewable.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
So do nandroid backups work on this ROM? Do they fully back up everything and restore the ROM fine without bricking? Of course between ROMs with the same bootloader.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Be the first to try it out! lol
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I can't, have important plans tomorrow that I need my phone for. This weekend though, I will. Hoping someone has info though.
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
So about my problem with poor battery life:

Android OS 49%

Display 21%

Wifi 5%

oriontationd 4%

Cell standby 4%

Does anyone else experiencing bad battery life notice the Android OS using this much battery? This is a first for me. I open up Task Manager and I don't see anything running, so not sure what's going on?

I have the latest Beautiful Widgets. In their description in Market, they mention something about some users having battery drain so could this be related? Or would BW battery drain show up as BW and not under Android OS?
[Captivate Android Development] mfknboss:
@ kingtz...what pri are u using?
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
ive tried to restore a nandroid backup with this and it failed every time and ive successfully been able to do this with every rom except cog5b2. so either im doing something wrong or it wont do it
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
what do you mean by "pri"?
[Captivate Android Development] mfknboss:
Check this thread..should solve ur issue.. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128135
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
If you notice Android OS killing battery, reboot immediately. It'll temporary fix it. It's a 2.3.3 bug, no fixes as of now. Just do a reboot when you notice it

Weird... thanks though.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Galaxy S doesn't really have any of that, aside from "radios" which are called modems here. Not applicable.
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
Thanks, I'll check it out.
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
Ah ok...hmmm...looks like I might just have to periodically reboot...
[Captivate Android Development] mfknboss:
Ooops my bad thought i was in the evo forums...roflmfao
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
That's funny :P
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
That's weird, I just rebooted my phone right now and then went to look at battery usage right after rebooting, but the list looks exactly the same. It didn't reset after the reboot, and I even refreshed it several times.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It won't reset with a reboot, it keeps the stats. But look there an hour later, and Android OS will drop lower down the list. Hope that helps :)
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
Ah ok. I'm also noticing that the phone is now charging much faster.

Do you know if this issue is a relatively rare occurrence or should I be rebooting at least once a day?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I've heard different accounts. It might be daily. Don't take my word for it. Just watch out for it :) they might have fixed it in 2.3.4 I believe, so wait for a 2.3.4 leak!
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
Same for me.

Edit:

And I confirmed it with speed testing. I normally get 3-4Mb/sec down and 1 up in my office and on this rom the best I can get is around 1.2Mb/sec down and 400K up.
[Captivate Android Development] snowake:
Very good to hear, especially Tibu! Thanks. Were you able to restore mms through Tibu?

I have only had decent GPS with Jv6 modem on my 1007, but Jv6 has terrible call quality. How is reception and call quality on KF1?
[Captivate Android Development] snowake:
Ditto, but i9000 GB roms through JVP have been awful for me. Especially call quality.
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
Where is this located? It seems to have resolved itself.

[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
You are never going to see HSUPA speeds from an ATT rom for the Captivate. No FCC clearance.

1.2meg down and 200-400k up is 3G speed.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yeah, it's one of those ninja settings.
[Captivate Android Development] kennonk:
I have never tried restoring mms through TiBu. Months ago I was burned restoring system stuff so I have a strict user apps only restore rule now.

Call clarity and volume have both been excellent on KF1 for me so far. I made about half a dozen calls this morning and it is nice not having the screen go black because of the proximity sensor bug that I had through all i9000 GB roms so far. Also the modem seems to be switching to 850MHz correctly.
[Captivate Android Development] DRShockie:
This is a great quest for me too:)........
[Captivate Android Development] MastaBetta:
Wow Dg, this rom is so smooth and fast.

I have noticed that my phone randomly switches lock screens from Glass to puzzle on this rom.

I'm aware there are no additional lock screens with this rom. Which lockscreen comes default with Cog5?
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
How did you install? Just installed a CWM3 based kernel like talon using ODIN and then flashed ROM in CWM, or did you do something more?
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
Cezar was kind enough to provide me with an Odin 1-click package with just the new i897 bootloaders. While on Continuum v6, I simply pressed "start" after going to download mode. Flashed bootloaders, no change in kernel, no change in modem, no change in ROM. It was bootloaders only.
[Captivate Android Development] SMaximus7:
netflix

Has anyone been able to get netflix to run? Mine won't run. I'm using the latest one, which was working on S7
[Captivate Android Development] Josh K.:
Netflix is working for me. Says new version available but I can cancel and move on.

Edit: Version 1.2.1 build 843839-1.2.0-30-71
[Captivate Android Development] elfie:
So you can install bootloaders with JVP rom already installed, is there a way to do the other way? Install JVP rom with these bootloaders already installed?

That would be more helpful as then once these bootloaders are flashed we can just flash non bootloader packages to move b/w ROMS.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
It's not that they 'change'. The lock screen is the glass lock scren, but when you get a message or a missed call, it becomes a mix of glass and puzzle. If you unlock with the glass lock screen you will get to the regular home screen, if you unlock with the puzzle you will get to the call log or the message screen.
[Captivate Android Development] SMaximus7:
Are you using the KF1 modem? Would you mind uploading your apk? Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] Vivified:
If it's running on the bootloaders i'm sure you could flash JVP just fine while already on the i897 bootloaders.
[Captivate Android Development] jack man:
I may have missed this somewhere, but if for some reason we need to go back to stock 2.1 (using Odin 1 click) after installing this, will it be safe?
[Captivate Android Development] low99:
Can someone please post the youtube.apk? I'm not in the US so almost everything I try to download off the cog app installer is not found (on the market I assume)

much appreciated.

I'm using it without the framework.jar...works without a problem
[Captivate Android Development] electroau:
What advantage does the audience chip provide over a 9000 rom?
[Captivate Android Development] Copronymous:
Noise cancellation for better call quality (Nexus One has it also). Captivate based ROM support it. i9000 ROMs don't.

Sorry to Hijack the post, I live in Puerto Rico and there's a cell Company that begin to offer the Galaxy S II for $199.99 with the two year contract. The full price of the phone is $610.00. They said that I can use the phone in AT&T if I unlock the phone.

This is only for information. As DG is running one SGSII that he order from Europe.
[Captivate Android Development] BrokenLegGuy:
I have noticed a few issues related to cell reception that I wanted to bring to light.

1- the cell reception is not being accurately represented in low/no reception areas.

2- cell reception is lower than what it should be in good areas. (I have full bar 3g at my house but since running cog 5 it's been medium bars on edge network) I have other phones I used to verify reception hasn't changed.

It took a while to realize what was happening.Thought that it was just me at first until I compared it to my other captivate running cog 4

Anyone else noticing this?

I also had a random reboot I'm trying to duplicate. I hope to post more on that soon.

Any themes available?

Since I'm having -ZERO- problems on this ROM, I'm happily looking around for themes that will work, but I haven't found anything in the Themes & Apps forum... probably since KF1 was only released a few days ago.

Anyone have any input/suggestions?

Still no luck with the GPS

I ran into a FC loop with my launcher on Continuum so I just tried both these things on stock KF1 , and still no luck (I'm going to try it on Cog 5 in a bit, but don't see how it'll make a difference if it doesn't work on stock KF1). I get a lock with accuracy at 30m at best and then I lose the lock. And it just keeps shifting back and forth between 30m and 60m. The tests even showed I was seeing up to 7 satellites almost instantly...

EDIT: I kept the MSAssisted but I changed the Server FQDN Type to "AUTO Config" under the SUPL settings just to see what happens and BOOM 10m lock. I'll be going on a 50mile drive in a few and I'll see how it holds up.

so i am on another earlier release i9000 GB rom

as i read i should be able to just put the kernel.tar and the rom.zip on my sd card and first flash the kernel then the rom

is that correct

again i already am running 2.3.3 so bootloaders are already installed

thanks all
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
I ran into a weird problem (first time I've ever encountered an issue with any cog rom..which gives great kuddo's to DG!). I updated the kernal and went to install Beta 2 last night. Install of Beta2 went fine via a reboot into recovery and selecting the Beta2 zip (not Rom Manager). After reboot I started getting a lot of dialogues asking me to force close and asking which launcher I wanted to use (launcher pro or TouchWiz). The weird part is I thought Beta2 was a wipe ROM, but all of my apps showed in the panel (it's like they were left installed but really not there). I tried re-installing the Beta2 zip again and no change. Also cleared cache and dalvik cache with no change.

I was able to re-odin back to Beta1 and update kernal again, but afraid to Beta2 again and run into this same problem. Also this time around I got a confirm passcode dialogue when running odin Beta1, which I didn't get the first time I ran odin Beta1. I entered some numbers which allowed the install to continue, but needless to say I'm still in Beta1 and was panicked I was going to brick my phone last night. Anyone else have the weird Beta2 update issue? Could I have done something wrong? I followed directions exactly.
[Captivate Android Development] morehush:
I had the same issue when beta2 was first released. The only way I could fix it was to reflash 1, then flash the kernel and 2 again.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Anyone else having random power off issues? I have between 5 and 10 a day. I used to have these quite a bit with i9000 based ROMS, but never Cappy based ROMs. I'm guessing a bad flash maybe.

I'll try to do a Master Clear and complete clean install over the weekend and see if they go away.
[Captivate Android Development] rabi347:
If you mean random reboots, I am getting that too. I was told it could be a memory leak or something.

It just happened twice as I was typing this !!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Phew, good to know it wasn't just me. I'll try again later tonight when I'm near my computer that works with Odin (in case) :) Or, I'll just wait until beta3.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
I can say that I have NOT had any random shut downs. I notice because coming from CM7 that happen all the time, especially while talking.

Yeah it's always good to MC and all that mumbo jumbo every once in a blue moon.

Re-flash start with B1 then go to B2 just to follow the correct steps.
[Captivate Android Development] dajeoo:
I was having the same issues too, had to go back to stock kf1 with optional fugu root for now until beta 3. No reboots on stock kf1 :)
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Mine aren't reboots, it just powers off. I'd actually be happier if it rebooted. :)
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
So this maybe a stupid question but....Why does the mobile signal widget show "H" ?? I mean before when i really was on the H (Other Roms) and it would switch to 3G and back H...... the widget would show when on 3G. Anyways it states were on the H maybe it's just the upload and not the DL??? Or is it just incorrect all together?
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
I had the random reboots and shutdowns with B1. This was on a refurb I had just gotten because my radio went crazy and wouldn't hold a signal. Anyhow, just remember that these phones do have a reputation for flaking out and it might be good to get on stock and see if you still have issues. Ultimately had to exchange it, problem was the phone, not the software.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Also FWIW I also flashed the new att boot loaders http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1129821 before i flashed this rom and have not had any problems. Not sure if it has anything to do with them but worth a try if you dont have em.
