[Captivate Android Development] REMY4223:
I soft bricked my older Captivate, installing Cog 5 beta 2, but was able to Odin back to stock then to Froyo via Kies. Since I was back to stock I tried the following after reading that ATT was replacing older Captivates.

Just letting everyone know who has a Galaxy S phone. I called ATT (6/21/11)and let them know that my phone has random shutdowns (once monthly), they checked the EMIE (I think that is what it is called) # on the phone, and they are replacing at no cost. I currently have a remanufactured (30 day warranty)1006 build I purchased Oct. 2010. My new SGS is shipped.

I received my new Cappy, 1008 build. GPS locked on immediately and tracked on interstate at 70 mph. My old cappy couldn't track if I was standing still.
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Don't have to go to stock Eclair.

1) GO TO STOCK KF1 like the OP says and links to.

2) Flash the beta 2 kernel via Odin in PDA slot without auto-reboot and without repartition checked. This will give you a kernel with CWM 4 recovery.

3) Pull battery after Odin finishes flashing the kernel then boot into recovery using both volume rockers and power button and install the rom zip.

4) Success/Winning

Sorry for being peristent but, as anyone been able to run Tw4.5 on Cog beta 2? I tried what is on page 13 (somebody answered me thwn) but I could never make it work. Maybe someone could pot a CMWable version or PM me. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
attached is what I was using...but I never flashed it through cwr, extract the apk from zip and use root explorer or any other program to push it into /system/app/ with permissions romve current TWlauncher from /system/app/ and keep backup at some safe place...also I will suggest you to install adw laucher first and use that as primary while making changes to tw...hope this helps...:)
[Captivate Android Development] tsan81:
This keeps happening at random:

Usually when I'm trying to dial, and again, random not consisent....it will go back to the homescreen. It may keep doing this once it starts, so then I'll reboot and that usually fixes that....but it'll end up happening again.

So far that's really the only I'm having an issue with....awesome romness!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
It shows H because you're getting HSDPA. AT&T ROMs show 3G for both UMTS and HSDPA, they don't have H icons.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yes, TW Launcher 4.5 works. The CWM flashable zip doesn't though, extract files and push them to the right place and fix permissions. Simple with Root Explorer.
[Captivate Android Development] Jammn:
I had that problem as well going from Beta 1 to Beta 2. Went back to Beta 1, then did a Factory Data Reset from the phone (Menu-Settings-Privacy) before flashing Beta 2. That cleared up the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
I finally had TW4.5 running thanks. Maybe you know why on this rom, the app drawer overlaps the dock when in landscape mode. Does not do that on i9000 based rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Dock labels also look weird in landscape for me.
[Captivate Android Development] ratatouille:
By the way Haloruler... Any news on Sheerbrilliance? Right now on Cog5 beta 1 I use the battery mod and the AOSP lockscreen mod out there...(sorry, I forgot the name of the member who made it, but I did not forget ro thank him though)...

Elfie made the battery and AOSP mods.... I just checked.
[Captivate Android Development] brannutz:
That's a Hardware problem bro. I have had my cappy replaced 3 times for this same issue. Call ATT they will replace it. It starst out fine and then it gets worse and worse to where it's 5 times a day like you said.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I'm actually working on it right now! I've got everything done but seems like something in framework-res.apk bricks the phone every time. Give me a little while, I'm almost done!
[Captivate Android Development] melvinaury:
I have a question, in the step to install the Cognition Kernel 2. It said to put the file in the PDA slot (zImage.tar).Do I need to choose any other option in Odin 1.82?

Correction: I found this 2)	Flash the beta 2 kernel via Odin in PDA slot without auto-reboot and without repartition checked. This will give you a kernel with CWM 4 recovery.

What about the F. Reset Time do I check it or not?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
You shouldn't need to touch anything but for convenience' sake, might as well uncheck auto-reboot and after flashing the kernel just go into recovery and flash the ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Two things I noticed today, beta 2 kernel 4:

1) using navigation, the swype keyboard opened without me touching the screen (with maps 5.2.1)

2) I was charging while traveling, using nav, my battery showed it was still charging (well gaining charge) after unplugging. I shouldn't complain. ;)

*If you're not on Gingerbread, you should be shot*
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Exactly this. Just uncheck auto-reboot and after kernel flashes pull batt and boot into CWM 4 recovery to flash the rom zip.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Done with Sheer Brilliance for Cognition 5 Beta 2! Tested myself and it is working!

https://www.sugarsync.com/pf/D6591375_7432453_654554

Lucky for you guys, the battery meter is easier to see!

If you want (outdated but soon to be updated) screenshots, look at the link in my sig!
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Can we backup in CWM before flashing your theme zip?? Does it work??
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
voodoo sound over Bluetooth headset

My stock wired headset just gave up today and now I am in market to purchase a decent pair of headset (bluetooth or wired :confused: ), so I was wondering if anyone is using stereo Bluetooth headset and how they perform with voodoo sound for listening to music? also what are the best options out there??
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
So with Beta1, I'll assume Beta2 is the same, I use a pinlock. In froyo I'd get the pinlock popping up everytime the screen shutdown. I've noticed with Beta1, the pinlock comes up after the power is off for an extended amount of time or during a reboot, but then more often than not I get the glass lock. I assume the pinlock timeout is controlled somewhere. Any way I can manually change the pinlock timeout? Is it stored in the framework file?

Music Player

How do I get the drop down music player with the cd for Sheer Brilliance for Cognition 5 Beta 2? Sorry if this is in the wrong area. Great job Haloruler64.:D
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
FYI. I took my phone into the ATT service center today, and they exchanged it. I just explained that the GPS sucked and that it wouldn't update to 2.2. They said it was a known issue, and they exchange them as long as they are still under warranty. I flashed back to stock before going in. The GPS on the replacement is much better.
[Captivate Android Development] REMY4223:
I had a Samsung stereo bluetooth that recharged with the same cable as the Captivate, worked great until it got washed while in my pants pocket.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Ah ok, sounds about right. thanks
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
That's great too hear!!! I am convinced that the GPS is hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Oh it is without a doubt the hardware... it is the placement of the GPS antenna that causes poor reception. On the newer builds they moved the antenna and thus get better signal.

On a more sad note, I tried to call in to get a replacement on my 1007 build because of random shutdowns and only booting into download mode... and they tried to get me to send the phone to samsung for repairs... *unhappy*
[Captivate Android Development] kinubic:
did they ask for anything? i bought my captivate from my friend but it does have warranty and he bought it full price without contract i have the box and everything
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Lame, do you have a AT&T device service center nearby? That is what I did.
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Hi, sorry for my ignorance. This is a theme? Needs to be installed via CMW? Thanks!

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Are you talking about Serendipity? Beta 2 Kernel 4?

On Cog 5b2:

I have also seen my cappy go up in charge about 3% after I unplugged it. I was using Winamp (BTW major battery HOG) it actually went down while plugged in using winamp by 1%.

Not a problem though, winamp is out the door, and the continued charging may have just been a glitch.
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Don't think so... I might try just taking it to the store...

---Edit--- Nix that! Just found one! I'll be headed there after work Monday. I'll let you guys know if they replace it.
[Captivate Android Development] jlsesler:
They didn't ask me for anything (no receipt, box, power cable, etc.). I think they may have had all the info they needed on the computer.
[Captivate Android Development] DirknJirkn13:
I'm having a problem with the clock app...when I set an alarm, the little notification comes up saying in how long the alarm will go off, but when I turn off and turn the alarm back on a minute or 2 later, it shows the same time. Anyone else have this problem/know how to fix this? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
I think there was something about this a few posts back... try searching the thread.
[Captivate Android Development] DirknJirkn13:
Tried searching before I posted with no luck. I posted this again since no one replied the first time.
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
ah okay. Is that problem just with this rom? I haven't had any similar issues...
[Captivate Android Development] roadrash7:
Is the android os bug happening in this 2.3.3 rom. Its all gone over here on 2.3.4 and its great.
[Captivate Android Development] teatimest:
That is so nice. I bought right when they released. So my one year warranty is over. I should have done that earlier.
[Captivate Android Development] teatimest:
Now I'm stuck with the horrible GPS for another year.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
I have the 1008 build and have not had any major issues (Flashing,Odin,CWM tons of times), bought right after SGS line came out in local ATT store because i dropped my Nexus one ;o(.

That was a horrible experience!
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Some one said few post back try "Fast fix" in market.

Not sure but I think it helped them.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Huh, it hasn't been a year yet. It was released in July, 18th I think. I also bought my on launch day.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Not sure if you can backup... but it works flawlessly for me, I tested :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Use the stock music player, it has lockscreen controls. It looks a bit different now though, it's transparent :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yep theme! Check my sig for some slightly outdated screenies. And CWM, yep!
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Thanks! I like it!

Installed and is very nice! Thanks!

This TW4 does fit quite good to the screen. It's the best I have managed to work so far. Don't forget to fix permission when you toss it in system/app
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
For those that may want to know, "How's the battery life on this ROM ?" ...

I know I posted my results yesterday that I had with my light to moderate use. See here...http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=15028189&postcount=1151

But I was off of work this past day and I wanted to share my battery results with Heavy use. I only post this because I know that this is one of the main things that people ask about a recently released ROM. And especially since this is from the "leaked" I897 2.3.3 release.

So, I really tried to put the hammer down today and push this phone hard and see what I could get out of it. And the results were again quite satisfactory. After 15 hours of use I was down to 10% of battery left. This was with well over 3 hrs of Display time, Wi-fi around 14 hrs, a lot of time spent on XDA, Web, Market, Youtube, Netflix, a lot of Pandora on 3G, a few calls, and quite a bit of time testing the "tv out" function (it did work by the way, w/ Youtube, Netflix, and Recorded videos from my phone. [fyi- the Red lead was video, not the Yellow]). And one final note, the 10% battery left is a little deceptive, because at 12hrs and 51 minutes I was at 48% left. After this point is where I began testing out the tv out function and was watching Youtube tutorials, fixes, etc. about it.

Sooo yeah, overall, really good results...at least I'm pleased that is. :D

And thankfully still no signs of the charging bug.--Love pulling the phone off of the charger and seeing that 100 % stay there. Again, Thanks to DG for this ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
yea with this ROM light moderate use, a lil bit of 2D gaming and always wifi on with sleep policy to shut off with screen off i got about 3days of use before it was nearly dead. sipping power at 1-2%/hr friggin amazing
[Captivate Android Development] rob ben:
I'll share my results with minimal use....charged it up last night to full. Unplugged and went to bed. I woke up and it was still at 100%. Granted all I have for apps running is gmail. I'm leaving it close to bone stock for now. So I'm not expecting to draw much power. But still 100% after 6 hours of standby?! And I accidentally left my Bluetooth on.

So I'm at 21 hours right now. I made a bunch of phone calls, a few emails, and about 50 texts, took 20 pictures and sent them as attachments. surfed the web for 20 min during lunch

I'm at 65 %. Still leaving the bluetooth on, just to keep it consistent. I have done this with a lot of roms. I'd usually be quite a bit below 15% right now.

So this will work. But I'd gladly trade it if I could use this rom with the good old jk4 and still keep the audiance chip functional..... Guess it is a trade off. LOVE the camera by the way.

Thanks again dg for setting it up for us
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
Ok. I can't get anything near that battery life. For instance, last night, I left it off the charger. Went to sleep with it at 84%, woke up today, and it's at 24%. 8 hours of NO USAGE and it drained 60%. I got better battery life with CM7. Any recommendations?
[Captivate Android Development] morehush:
Make sure you're not signed into latitude? In your battery stats, what is using the most energy?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
+1 to morehush

And if the Android OS is really high on the usage, u can do a reboot and it will fix it. After u reboot though, the Android OS will still be high when u look in Battery use, just look about an hour or so later and it should have gone down.

Usually after I charge for an extended period of time and pull the phone off, I do a check in the Battery use a few minutes later. If the Android OS is high on the list or even suspect...I just do a reboot. It doesn't take long and problem solved.
[Captivate Android Development] ru_benz:
To exchange your phone at an AT&T Device Support Center, does it matter where you purchased your phone? (I bought mine from Amazon on launch day, so I have less than a month to act on my warranty.)

For others in the same boat, here are the locations of Device Support Centers:

No 3 finger download or Recovery mode

Hi Guys

Sorry I know this has been asked before possibly in a different way but

I'm upgrading/ed from Cog 4.5.3 to the Cog GB beta 2

I have a 1007 version Cappy, So used to using Recovery to CWM I didn't notice

that I could not get to Download or Recovery via the 3 finger key combos

(Vol Dwn, Home, PWR to Download OR Vol Up, Home, PWR to Recovery )

I really thought I could previously, possibly a different key combo?.

I was able to load UCKF1 Odin-1-Step by initially using power menu

to Download mode which was successfully loaded!

I than ran Odin3 1.82 selected cog5-beta2-kernel.tar in the PDA box

And then used battery pull, USB cable in, Vol up+Dwn, battery reinsert

to Download mode, and hopefully installed the Cog 5 Kernal

How do you confirm the Cog Kernel had loaded?

Kernel Version still says 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832

Odin said it successfully loaded the Kernel and rebooted

However when I hold the power button in to bring up the menu

It does not give me the extended choices of Download or Recovery modes

So how do I get the extended power menu or at least get to

Recovery mode so I can upgrade to the Cog goodness?

Seems like I'm stuck halfway from home (so near so far)

Thanks

KJL
[Captivate Android Development] canadaboy37:
I was having battery issues as well. Android OS would account for 40+%, and I'd get barely 12 hours of life. After uninstalling Google Maps, I've gone 9 hours and only lost 18% of a full charge.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Just got of the phone, they're sending me another. It's shutdown 3 times so far today. Hopefully I'm not trading one problem for another...
[Captivate Android Development] novagator:
Yeah, Android OS has accounted for 50% of usage. I'll give this a shot. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
Can someone tell me if the Odin-1-click described in step 1

will install a rooted version of GB?

I did NOT perform the additional steps to Fugi Fish Rooting

(Another post in this thread said not needed and it would cause boot loops?)

So I still havent found any way to get to the Recovery mode and CWM 4.0

I was actually expecting to see Recovery mode as an extended option of the

Power Menu after loading the Cog kernel? (like in all Cog 4....)

The VolUp/Home/PWr keys apparently are not working for me?

Is there a specific place these keys are only functional from?

(Powered off, or Power on, screen locked or unlocked etc)

I did not have/notice a problem getting to DL or rec modes with earlier

ODin Flashes and Cog Updates (always used he power menu recovery option)

Is there an alternate battery pull/USB Cable insert/remove "tricks"

to bring up the Recovery mode?

Thanks Again

KJL
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Pull the battery, sim card, and SD card (if you added one), then put the battery back in. Start the cognition 5 beta1 executable on your PC (it will root automatically for you on flash), then plug USB cable into computer. Now hold the volume up and down buttons down and insert the USB cable into.your phone and you should end up in phone download mode. Now click start on the Odin apparently and wait. You wont enter phone download mode if the similar card is left in the phone, so be sure you follow the steps.
[Captivate Android Development] Time_Zone:
If you followed step 1 the new bootloaders should have enabled 3 button combo. It sounds like you got to step two so you are in the home stretch. Try and see if the button combo does not work for you.

1. Power off device

2. unplug from usb

3. Hold in left two buttons first then hold in power.

4. Release power when you see AT&T boot screen

5. Release left two buttons once in recovery.

If this does not work, google installing adb. You should be able to enable debug mode on the phone and run "adb reboot recovery"

Or

1. Install terminal from the market

2. Run terminal

3. Type "su"

4. Hit allow to enable superuser

5. Type "reboot recovery"
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
___________________________________________________-

OK It looks like I'm "Dancing with my Se_lff"

Anyway for anyone else with the same situation no 3 finger combo for recovery

try this tip from SmokeStack76 (Thanks)

___________________-

"Works every time for me

if i power off.

Hold down volume up and down and power.

Wait for the (blue on white) att screen to go off

as soon as att screen comes back on the second time

Let go of the power button and continue holding both volume button down

until you see recovery booting. It works the same with a usb cable plugged in for download mode."

__________________

Thanks Smokestack76

EDIT: my thanks also to Time_zone (see prior post) his post had not yet appeared when

I started my own response, but it's a nice clean rendition of the same tip KJL)

I did that a few times and dam! I got the Orange Recovery/CWM Screen!

I installed the Cog5b2 zip via CWM and rebooted WITHOUT any master clear etc

I ran through the GB initialization screens no problem things seemed OK (whew!)

(but Kernel number was still same as before Cog update?)

Retored my aps with CogApsInstaller and TitiBu.

Restored all my homescreen icons with SGS tools

So after many confusing moments I appear 2b up and running Cog GB 5b2!

(I do hate the almost useless micro Battery indicator, but not yet sure enough to apply my usual, Titan's very nice Battery indicator to this firmware just yet?)

So far so good just up for 5 mins now time to give it a walk around

(I've heard I'll need AngryGPS?? to tweak the params and port)

BTW to clarify my own questions

I DO have the extended power menu back.

I am still not sure if thats due to being rooted

(do all rooted roms have the etended powermenu?)

or is it just a nice feature implimented in Cog

(Either way I got caught by catch 22)

But So far looking good

KJL

OK I'm "Dancing with myse--lf"
