Quick question about another possible bug I found, wondering if anyone can duplicate it.

In the YouTube app (which also isn't available in the Cog app installer along with GTalk) whenever I try to play a HQ/HD video, it hangs on a single frame, but the audio plays just fine. If I switch HQ off then it plays just fine. When I first installed YouTube it would stutter on HQ/HD videos, then it went to this. Anyone up for testing this?

Like posted above, this is the code generated by mount, which tells what partitions are mounted on the device. This list just shows the /system, /data, /dbdata, and /cache partitions, because those are the partitions that are converted to ext4 by voodoo lagfix. And if you look at the type of these partitions, they all say ext4, so that means dg is working on a lagfix for this rom!

As always dg, you are the man!!

Thanks again Twin for this information, which tends to debunk what I think is urban myth about the superiority of one band over the other, as far as speed is concerned.

It also seems to show that trying different modems with this ROM is worthwhile. Worked for you, anyway. Congrats.

Someone mentioned about removing gmaps and having better battery. I just noticed that I am at 89% in a little over an hour and its 37% maps!!!

Should I downgrade maps or what? Is this a google bug or this ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
It's a Google bug.

Since 5.5.0, I think, it will start on boot and won't let you kill the process. It restarts. I've been using 5.2.1 the last one I know not to have the update bug. Won't start on boot, when you do use it you can kill the process and it stays dead!

On the Beta 2 version, sometimes when I open a game, the screen gets stuck on a "loading" screen and suddenly the phone reboots. It has happened on a couple of games now.

It does not happen everytime, but it is kinda random.

Has anyone else had that issue?
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Yes, it happens to me too. Not with games, but with apps. I think is a bug of this leak.

I have to say - I have not seen this issue on several GB ROMS (****1 or I9000). I do use an app called AutoKiller that may be taking care of it in the background.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I got the post version installed, so we will see how it goes now. I really don't use app killers or anything since I don't want to mess with the way android manages memory. If you haven't there is a good video they put out that explains it.

Anyone know why Google decided to keep MAPS running in the BG? For latitude? General location updates to the cloud? Sure does use a lot of battery.

I am going to dig around some old ROMs and find an older version.

Yep - I've heard all the anti-task killer talk. I have had good luck with AutoKiller - don't think it's quite like the regular task killers. Could be wrong, but I haven't had my phone battery drain in a few hours from using Google Maps either.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
It happens to me every time I exit from Plants vs Zombies. It's happened occasionally when exiting Peggle. Memory leak somewhere maybe? Or the aggressive killing on 2.3 shuts down something it shouldn't?

Silly goose! Samsung and AT&T did it to sell more batteries.

Check a few posts before yours for an older version of Maps. The other suggestion that has been made is to freeze Maps in TiBu. Defrost when needed. Not an elegant solution, but if Maps really is eating battery up, a solution.

[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Other gelocation aware apps (gelocation option in Beautiful Widgets) trigger it too. Something in the location service is the cause, and I think Maps shows up as the battery eater. All GB roms, including since the first CM7, have done this. I leave Maps alone, and just do not use Latitude or gelocation options and it does not happen.

I don't know much about VPN, or if this addresses your question, but hope this helps you. If it did, feel free to tickle my Thanks button ;)

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
OK Thanks. Looks like GB issue and not Map version then. Its okay I still get well over what I need in battery life. It just looked strange Maps being higher than display on the battery use . I use BW as well but not the Geolocation. I think checking the Google allowing location to be broadcast on the net as well uses maps. I should disallow that process. No need to know whats close to me just browsing. I already know. LOL
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Nope. Lousy GPS for me. Low signal strength, drops birds (hmmm, bird droppings? That's appropriate for this crummy GPS performance.)

Mr. Hazelwood,

Sorry to hear this. First time that I recall seeing this problem in this thread. I certainly haven't had it happen, and I and others for the first time ever are getting 100% charges that "stick" when we unplug the charger, not even dropping to 98%, 97% etc. as always happened with I9000 ROMs.

I suggest flashing Beta 2. Or reflashing Beta 1 if you prefer, to see if that gets rid of the problem. Be sure to follow all the instructions carefully.

Or maybe just delete battery data, and recharge. That might be the easy way to start to resolve the issue. I don't think you have to live with this problem. It does not seem to be a bug reported by other users of this ROM, so there should be a solution for you. I hope someone more knowledgeable than I will chime in here and provide some advice.

P.S. How old is your battery? Is it OEM? If it is old or a knock-off, that may be the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Are you on windows? You can vpn natively. I use Pocket cloud, and don'e need vpn. You could port out RDP and use it that way.

Anyways So are you saying you are able to VPN on the the Captivate home and then connect to your desktop with RDP via Pocket Cloud?

Hmm after you connect via vpn does the android browser get online?

I just noticed a tag on this thread was Cogasm. Is that in relation to my post in the 4.5.3 thread? If so, I may have to start taking credit for it.
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Thanks for the response. Yesterday it happened on my OEM battery (only 3 months old or so), and today it was my knock off battery. I've cleared the cache, so may try an install of Beta2, to get benefits since reinstalling might solve, but first I'll probably try clearing the battery stats. The second day after installing B1, I had great battery life (all day). It's just odd the reboot totally drains it. I can see the battery graph shows the reboot and while it started with a gradual decline, on reboot I see the cliff when it drops down. Very odd.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
OK, man, good luck. I hope flashing B2 fixes you up. It's not that B1 had that bug, but maybe something in your instlallation introduced the problem.

I also hope it's not your hardware. If you keep having the problem, go back to Eclair and take your phone back for exchange.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Yeah, I don't have the boot sound or the shutdown sound (which is good), but I do have the at&t boot animation as well. Oh well, it doesn't bother me at all and this ROM is running absolutley excellent for me. So I'm gonna leave well enough alone. :D

flash player not playing on websites

Friendly fyi... if anyone is going to web sites and wondering why the flash player isn't working, open ur Web Browser > Menu > Settings > Enable plug-ins > and select

Always on

. That should fix it. It appears to be set to "On demand" by default. -- That is, at least with the browser that is in KF1 release.

I'm glad they added a number reading on the battery icon... but it's the size of a pin-head. Who can read that number? Owls?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
On Demand is better. It makes pages load and scroll much faster. And when you wanna play flash, you just press on where it should be, with the black/green box. I prefer it On Demand, much smoother experience.

Nano-size battery meter solutions

Ha, ha, owls? Yeah, I guess that's a good one. And I agree, the battery meter in this ROM is a real challenge to read, to put it mildly.

(Aside: Did'ja know that we have burrowing owls here in South Florida? Yep, tiny little guys, and they dig like back hoes into the ground to build their nest. Protected species. Very cool.)

OK, onto business.

First, I have a microscope I can sell you so you can read the stock meter. Or you can check the attachments in this thread. I recall someone posted a UOT-cooked meter some time back.

Or, you can use the one I am attaching here. It's round, has pretty colors around the circumference and has the battery charge percentage in the middle in a size that old guys like me can read.

Lastly, you can make your own on UOT. It's fun and easy to do. UOT is great.

Lots of options, eh? Have fun with them.

P.S. Yes, the UOT .zips work even though they are "CWM3."

[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Oi, Nelson, tudo bem?

Hey, man, you've been on the forum a lot today. Didn't you see DG's post and several responses to it, where he showed us the code for EXT4? He's a tease, and has a wicked sense of humor, but it's looking like yes, lagfix is on the way.

As far as I am concerned, this ROM doesn't need it, but to each his own. As long as the ROM stays as stable and relatively free of bugs as it is now, bring on the lagfix!

P.S. I suspect you did see it, there's a couple of posts right before yours, and you are just trying to confirm.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Ha, ha, yeah we old guys gotta watch each other's back. I hope you like the meter. If it doesn't "take" when you try to install from recovery, that is, if the meter doesn't change after you reboot, you will have to go back into recovery, and "mount data" and "mount system," and reflash the .zip.

(Hey, with terminology such as "mount," and the designation of this ROM, which can and already has been twisted around to another word that that means "mount," this thread should be X-rated.:eek:)
[Captivate Android Development] lactardjosh:
It condenses your widget list, so if you have a widget that has 4 different formats (like 1x1, 1x2, 2x2, 2x3), it'll just show you "Widget Name (4 widgets)". When you select the widget, it gives you a sub-menu of each widget size. It's very nice; keeps things clean.

my battery takes forever to charge. I turnd my phone off to see if it would charge faster (as most phones do). Started it up and only got a 40% charge in 2 1/2 hours.

Is this the rom or my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
My phone is fine. Charing in 2hrs. You are using a OEM charger or original one? Is your cable fine? This pone consumes almost 1000mah so you must see your charger can provide that.

GPS has become unusable for me. The best accuracy I can get down to is an inconsistent 30 meters and it doesn't seem to lock (GPS symbol keeps flashing), but I was getting a solid lock on 10 meters on C5.6.

I had the same issue on stock KF1.
