There were proximity sensor issues with the i9000 2.3 builds. Looks like we have them too.
[Captivate Android Development] CremeFraiche:
ive never had prox sensor probs since beta 1. only on i9000 GBs did i ever, so im pretty sure it was 100% your case
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Sounds like your modem is dead... do you have proper modem/kernel agreement?

Try reflashing the modem AND the kernel...

***Edit***

It's problems like this that are keeping me from moving up from 4.5.3 to 5b2...
[Captivate Android Development] dhncali420:
I also stopped receiving calls and texts yesturday too. (but I wasn't on Cog) I rebooted and 15 text messages showed up.

This happened between 1pm until 5pm a friend came over and told me he was calling and texting, so thats when I rebooted
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
I found the cause in my case (it actually was my leather case! ,BG>)

see the followup at the end of my original post.

Is anything blocking your sensor? (case or screen protector?)

KJL
[Captivate Android Development] bigbooty:
These problems people are suddenly seeing are really not that surprising to me. This is obviously a beta build leaked from Samsung and I will bet not close to what the final Captivate release will be. Whenever that is.

Try the whole process again and see how long it lasts this time. I know there are numerous reports with different GB roms that issues don't show up right away. And some never have issues at all.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I don't. I used to have a screen protector but I don't now. Just a body glove case that covers the sides and rear.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Reflashed the whole ROM, flashed to stock, nothing. I think it's hardware..

I can't get anything to work. mine was at 2 AM, still happening now
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Strange... Might be hardware... What build do you have?
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Not sure right now, I'm copying the SD onto my computer to try to return it. I'm pretty sure it is a 110X build. Newer one, perfect GPS. Too bad too.
[Captivate Android Development] skippyg:
This rom is amazing. GPS works better than any rom I've ever used, its strange, I get instant 30m locks then down to 15m in seconds. Its fast smooth and my texts don't get delayed and signal isn't wonkey like it was on Simply Rc3 or Continuum 5.6.
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
That does suck! I just went yesterday and got a 1102 in exchange for my 1007. I'm loving the better gps with this one. :)

Good luck!
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
So newest issue for me is that the past couple of days I charge my phone to 100%, unplug it and it stays there.....great! prob is now the battery drains 10%+ in the first 15 min. That's siting in my pocket. Within 45 min I'm down 20%. I do a battery pull, sometimes twice and it seems to level out. This never happened before, but the past 3 days same thing. Anyone else?

Another note, anyone else's batt life declining? Meaning it was better when you first started using this rom
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
So I flashed Cog5 again. Nothing. Then flashed stock. Nothing. Flashed KF1 then Cog5. Still nothing. Flashed stock and went to DMV. Eventually, BAM 30 messages :/ my phone is fine now...
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
How did you get rid of the evil tw?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Sounds like network to me.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Probably is. But my moms phone worked fine int he same place. And my girlfriends worked too. Have NO clue why. Not ROM related though!
[Captivate Android Development] id10terror:
I think it's a network issue.. AT&T has been up and down for me today.. right now I have 0 signal..

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Check in ur Battety Use, if Android OS is consuming a majority, this is a known issue with the 2.3.3, a simple reboot wiil fix it. But after u reboot the Android OS will still show up high on the list, just give it an hour or so and u should see it decline.

Other known bugs are the Google Maps draining the battery because of running in the background, which can b fixed by not installing it, installing an older version, or freezing it in Titanium Backup.

One more thing...u could check in Running Services and see if something is running that doesn't need to b at that particular time, i.e. Market, email, google beta music, etc.

As far as declining battery... I am still experiencing excellent battery usage (just have to keep an eye for the Android OS bug)
[Captivate Android Development] Toleraen:
I had that happen yesterday, but it took a while. Was 90+% for a few hours, then it dropped to ~75% shortly after. Battery life continued normally after that, figured it was just that I hadn't done a calibration.

Today it's running fine, still sitting at 68% after 15 hours of decent usage, best I've ever had :D

Also interested in this (though I haven't looked hard, just tagging on to Snorkle's request :D)
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
I had the launcher from an old gb rom release on my external SD, installed that then used tibu to remove tw. When I get to my desktop, I'll share the apk.

EDIT: added the GBLauncher apk in a zip
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
68% after 15 hrs? That's crazy. After 15 hrs, I've been charging for an hour already. Android os is always a small percentage for me, and maps is frozen. I used to get great batt life....not anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
you are the man!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
RFS is barely laggy at first.... but it slows down a lot over time. I know DG has EXT4 in the works, I just wanted to point this out. Not complaining.
[Captivate Android Development] nelsonw:
Yep. Will be very nice with ext4. +1 here.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I897
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Great job DG! I have few minor things to report.

When i first installed. I came from s7 and restored all my apps and app data with tibu. Had several fc. Decided to do a full wipe of my sd card and start over from scratch. Installed all my apps again from market. Since then only a couple minor issues but not a single fc.

Yesterday i replied to a text and it sent it to someone else. Luckily nothing bad.

I am experiencing issues trying to make calls from my call logs and it will close and take me back to the home screen. I had this issue alot on s7 as well.

All in all i am a heavy phone user for work (calls, email, text, and internet) and have been running great for two solid days. I forget this is just a beta.

Awesome rom cant wait for the rc1.
[Captivate Android Development] snorkle:
humm, when i try to install gblauncher it says installation aborted.. idk any idea?
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
Place the apk /system/app instead of installing it
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Be sure when you exit an app that u are finished using, by tapping the "Back" Key and not just hitting the home button. Hitting the home button just suspends the app and keeps it in the background. Tapping the back key will end the app. Also check in ur Running Services under menu/applications and make sure something is not running that u do not want--Market, google music beta, email, etc. U can force stop. And auto brightness can b a drag on the battery. Hope this helps.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
Searched and found some issues, though no resolution.

I'm have an issue with the alarm clock. I set my alarm work work on a weekly basis (weekdays, m-f). The alarm works fine when i first set it, i then noticed the next night before bed i usually turn it off/on so i can assure myself it is set and to also see how many hours i have before i have to wake up. Every time I do this the alarm will say i have something like 1 days, 17 hours, 10 minutes. When i really only have maybe 8 hours. So i then have to delete the alarm and re-create it on a nightly schedule. Anyone else notice this?
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Yes..even I have noticed this issue...but I do not recreate it every other day, I would just click on it like if I want to change the time and then click on save and then it shows correct remaining time.

BTW I just wanted to share the unreal battery life I got on Cog 5...never had my phone in airplane mode but was mostly on 2g , wifi used for around 2Hr 45 Min, 45 mins of call, 2 hr 45 mins display. There was a sudden drop of around 20-25% of battery in 1hr30m when I noticed android OS bug has appeared a quick power off and on fixed it.but then this is almost 3 days on single charge..I agree this is light use but still..:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I've always had sketchy GPS ever since getting the phone near launch day last year and I think I just experienced my first random shutdown while responding to a text message. I've called AT&T and verified that I am under warranty to return to my local DSC and I'll make sure I get a (much) later than 1006 build.

But before I visit my local DSC, I was wondering what to expect. I know that I'll be one-clicking it back to 2.1 before taking it in and making sure I've got a full backup of all folders on the internal SD card. They told me that they will "transfer all internal SD card content" to the new phone as part of the exchange. Anyone think it is advisable to "remove" any telltale files or folders from internal SD that show the phone was rooted at one time (and thereby voiding a warranty exchange)? i.e. /TitaniumBackup, /ShootMe, update.zip, etc.

I suppose the best plan would be to fully clean the internal SD card (after backup) to just make it "like new" again. It's not hard to copy the whole /sdcard folder to my computer but will there be any file permissions that need to be redone after copying the files/folders back to the new phone if I do that?

EDIT: Also, I've got an upcoming trip to Niger, Africa and I know that I have coverage with AT&T but this is the first time traveling with my Captivate. I'm currently on Cog 4.5.3 and was curious to know if I should expect the "local system" to show on the screen like the "AT&T" one used to before Cognition. I want to ensure that I'll still have a phone that I can use internationally while traveling. Any "international" benefit/detriment to to using Cog 5b2?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I just cleaned it out completely and made sure I updated to 2.2 official via the official means. They will ask if you updated.If you haven't then they will blame that. Just have it clean with 2.2 and say you have the shutdowns and bad GPS and you should be good to go.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I just copied the entire SD to my computer and came into the center with a wiped SD. Full flash to stock and master clear. They replaced it and I just tossed everything back. No permissions necessary!

EDIT: I came in with stock JF6 and they didn't question me. He said "oh, it isn't updated" then gave me a new one. Then I checked if it had the 3 button combo in front of him and he didn't care :P maybe I just got a cool guy, but the fact that it was JF6 didn't cause any trouble.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
The "master clear" step is the one I've never done. Is that the one that erases all my stuff off internal SD?
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
Yes, on the warranty phone call, he asked if I updated (which, at the time, I did do via Kies before I rooted and went to Cog). So, I'll one-click back to stock, master clear, then update to 2.2 via Kies. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah, it'll just format your internal SD. You do it while your phone is on and USB Debugging is on.
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
It'll format EVERYTHING! If you leave your external card in, it'll be blank (the previous two sentences may be wrong). I seem to remember someone being upset in a cog thread back in last october maybe: "why did the master erase everything". We all then proceeded to have a good laugh because if he couldn't predict what master clear would do, he surely shouldn't have been flashing roms. No offense if you're listening.
[Captivate Android Development] diakonos:
I have no external SD card, but that is a GREAT thing to know that it'll wipe that out too. :)

I've found multiple places to "format SD card":

Settings > Privacy > Factory data reset

Settings > SD card and phone storage > Format SD card

Recovery mode (2.5.1.3) > wipe data/factory reset

Did I miss any? Does it matter which one is used?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
If you do wipe your SD Card they are easy to recover from. There are free programs that will do it. It has worked for recovering data for me. I had a corrupt partition table and it worked.
[Captivate Android Development] sebster:
Trouble receiving calls, outgoing calls ok

Anybody having trouble receiving calls? Ever since flashing to this rom when someone calls it goes straight to google voicemail or if google is disabled they get a message saying that the person they are calling is currently not accepting calls.

I can make calls just fine.

Flashed back to stock Gingerbread, not problems receiving calls there, then after flashing to Cog rooted Kernel can't receive calls again, not even on Cog 5 Beta 2 rom...

Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Try a different modem maybe?

I've never had the Master Clear erase my external SD card... internal SD card, yes, but not my external SD card.
[Captivate Android Development] Romee74:
Ok, I had the ghost icons saying they were on my SD card happen today. I can't even run Market. All other stock apps seem to work besides Market and Cog Apps Installer. When trying to install an app with it I get an error "Sorry! The application Cog Apps Installer (process com.teamdouche.pacman) has stopped unexpectedly. Please try again." The only option that I get is Force close. I am guessing this is because Market is not functioning.

Does anyone have a fix or do I have to reflash? I searched the thread and that was the only resolution that I found. Just hoping there is a different fix that I missed. I had'nt made a tibu backup of all my apps and have almost no battery life. I guess that I can always clear my battery stats tomorrow after I have time to get a full charge.

Let me know if you have a better solution, but I can't wait long. Have to get moving if I am reflashing cause I have to have my phone functional for work tomorrow.

Edit: Just tried clearing my Dalvik Cache and got "E:unknown volume for path [/sd-ext]"

EDIT-2: Just reflashed modem and I'm still having issues with Market. Now when I try to opne Market i get "Attention An error had occurred. Please try again later."

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

[Captivate Android Development] Somebodynew:
Shoot, I JUST installed Beta 2 a few hours ago.

I'm loving the ROM so far. For a beta, it's damn smooth. I still think I may be experiencing a GPS glitch (not locking on), but I haven't been able to tell yet.

If I upgrade to Beta 3, it's going to erase all my contacts and apps again, correct?
[Captivate Android Development] Psychemage:
That's why I made sure to qualify my statement with those two sentences being wrong. But just as a precaution, I pull my external when I do silly things like master clear.

Horray for ginger bread!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Good night man. Have fun in Vegas :P
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah it'll wipe everything. Back up!

Fix GPS by going into AngryGPS (*#*#3214789650#*#* in dialer) and changing SUPL to supl.google.com and port to 7276.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Yeah, take out your SD. Peace of mind!
[Captivate Android Development] Somebodynew:
Thanks, I'll give it a try.

And that's what I figured (losing all my data again). I've been using Titanium Backup and just restoring contacts from my SDcard. What sucks is that somehow, I keep getting double the amount of contacts when I restore (each one has a copy). It's become quite a hassle to go back and delete everytime.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Im not clear on how that works. When I try i get sent to Location and Security.

BUMP!! i seek the same answer as this user..... Been happening.to me as well..
[Captivate Android Development] Somebodynew:
I ended up Locations and Security as well when I turned my GPS on. However, I don't know if it was a coincidence, but I pressed the back button and up popped AngryGPS. After switching the SUPL settings and port, my GPS works faster than ever.

Thanks for the quick help!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:

HI DG,

I flashed to Beta 3 via recovery and noticed it didnt do a full wipe?

While watching the update, I see line says install beta 2 at first it might be wrong one but it was installing Beta3.

Installed tibu via cog installer and when it installed it FC, so I removed it and reisnstalled it again from the market, seems ok now. (it be me but so far loving the ROM) :)

Thought I let you know.

Cheers!
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
Maybe he is, and that's why he gets duplicates after restoring contacts?

Hey, Somebodynew, do you have a google account? If so, perhaps your contacts are being restore automatically when you sign in? If so, no need to restore them from SD.

App install location selection bug still in Cog5b3.

Won't remember setting, apps install where they default

HI ALL

I flashed beta 2 yesterday following all instructions and it went well but it really did not seem to wipe everything and i have been having issues with really bad lag when coming out of sleep. So my ?? is how can I go back to elcair full reset and then start over. I want to wipe the entire phone back to 2.1 stock then flash cog beta 3. is there and Odin 1 click out there to go back to eclair?

Any changes in B3 beyond what's in the changelog?

Just curious if these are the only changes:

Cognition 5 Beta 3 Changelog (6/29/2011)

FULL WIPE

Google Talk w/Audio & Video chat

Hacked Camera (Power Takes Picture, any battery level, thanks to rafalense)

Removed power options header

Not complaining in the least... just seems like a rather short list of changes.

I flashed Cog5b3 this morning (Eastern Europe Time), following the 3-step guide in the OP, and so far everything has been smooth and without problems.

This, so far, has been the best Gingerbread experience on my Captivate. Don't get me wrong, I really enjoyed and liked other ROMs as well, especially Continuum. But somehow I always go back to Cognition :)

Anyway, DG, thanks for another great ROM. I'm wondering how much better this can get when you implement the items in your to-do list...

[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Yes you can...that is exactly what I did ...:)
[Captivate Android Development] RDI:
After I did the last update, it didn't wipe completely and I got FC. I re-entered Recovery and did a manual erase everything. At the same time I decided to remove my memory card, just in case. After that I re-flashed the Cog 5b3. Yes, it says it is doing Cog 5b2, it lies. When that was done also flashed modem KB1. Rebooted, no FCs, clean phone. Ran DG's app pgm. No problems. Restored TiBu, apps only except for bookmarks, program monitor widget, and email data. (Gmail data restore never seems put all my Gmail accounts back correctly, so I do it the hard way.)

Remember to go into setup and 1) Advanced wifi off when phone is off.

2) Applications, install to internal card/memory.

3) under Contacts/settings/ all new contacts save to Google Gmail, Not phone or those new additions will be gone on the next update.
