Just curious... are you using a cwm4 capable zip?

KB1 from Modem Sticky doesn't install

2ndTwin, did you actually try to install either of those alternative modems (or is it 'modii'?) from the Modem sticky? The reason I ask is because when I tried, it didn't work because the KB1, at least, is written with an amend script, not edify, and it didn't install.

I suspect the KE3 might have the same problem. Feel free to "edify" me on how to get around this or to find the modems elsewhere. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Has one tried VPN? I can't get any traffic once I am connected. I also tried SSH tunnel same thing.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
That's the issue, I reckon. It's a CWM 3. I thought they might be backward compatible, but I guess not. See my next posting right after yours on the problem I had flashing the modem.

So the question is, where are these alternative modems that several people have mentioned in this thread? Has anyone actually flashed any of them? I haven't seen any feedback, so I am wondering if all this talk about other modems is just that....
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
My guess is that they are slamming their heads against the table asking why they can't see the zip file. :p

Maybe my DG or Haloruler can conjure a cwm4 zip.
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Through both the JVC head unit in my car and my cheap ass LG bluetooth headset, I've had no complaints from anyone I've talked to. Like I've stated before, this ROM is flawless for me. No FC's. No dropped data. Excellent battery. And it's quick and smooth.

Odin3

This might sound like a stupid question but how exactly do you use the Odin3 to flash the kernel? I've kept up with this thread for the most part but don't remember seeing any instructions. I'm currently sitting on Beta 1 (awesome ROM btw) and I'd like to try upgrading but I'm afraid I'm gonna flash it wrong. Any help is much appreciated, thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] silverslotcar:
Open Odin put the beta kernel in the pda spot. Put phone in DL mode then connect it to the USB port closest to the motherboard. Make sure repartition is NOT checked then hit start.

PS: Make sure Odin sees your device. You will see a yellow com section pop on and it will say <added>
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Does it auto connect? I wish my car wouldn't autoconnect to my phone, but it only will if i go into Bluetooth settings and make it visable. I wish it didn't have a time limit.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Ha, ha, yeah. Folks, my advice is not to try to flash those modems, unless you find versions that are CWM4 compatible. Waste of time and will lead to unwanted results and frustration to try to flash the CWM3 modems.

Someone with a lot more talent than I will come up with modems that we can use with this wonderful ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
You should be able to pull the modem bin from the zip file and flash it via odin or heimdall.
[Captivate Android Development] nakedninja42:
no need to zip. place modem.bin in Phone slot in odin and flash
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Now there's a guy whose advice I respect! Thanks, Harpo, I am going to try it! Put in the PDA slot of Odin?

Good to see you in this thread. How's Groucho and the others?

P.S. Thanks ninja, too. (I couldn't bring myself to call you "naked" :p Harpo meant to extact the modem.bin from the .zip file from the Modem sticky. And thanks for the info about where to put it - in Phone, not PDA.
[Captivate Android Development] Jetta2_MTL:
is there a way to NOT have the SMS logs mixed with the call logs?

thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Misled3k:
Kernels go in the PDA slot;

Modems go in the Phone slot.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Got it. Thanks!

Mobile version of Odin

Hello - Is there a mobile version of Odin so I can flash Beta 1 without using a computer? :D
[Captivate Android Development] Febby:
there isn't any, sorry you'll need a pc.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
you and me both..I flashed beta 2 after using SGS Kernal flasher to get CW. Then downloaded Beta 2 to the phone and flashed it from CW. Restored with tibu. No issues.........yet .
[Captivate Android Development] laihafloyd:
What about phones that shipped with 2.2? Any way to check your bootloaders? my laptop is garbage and doesnt seem to like odin...
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Ha! Guess I could have mentioned the use of Odin too... meh. I like to confuse users... including myself :D
[Captivate Android Development] fcarmona:
NO HDSPA with this rom? :(
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
i897 kernels and modems will not support HSUPA speeds. Swap with an i9000 kernel and modem. <--- I don't recommend that ATM, unless you like unicorns to come out of your phone.

BT works great (and automatically) with my Kenwood KDC-X995..Both audio and phonebook. That's all I really need BT for. and Jawbone
[Captivate Android Development] Donmotobike:
Yo Califboi thanks dude

So I'm coming from Cog 4.5.3 I use Odin to flash Beta 1(by dragging the beta 1 file into the slot correct?) then load Kernel using SGS kernel loader and the grand final act is to flash Beta 2 using CWM....my question is incase I don't like Cog 5 beta 2 - can I flash back to 4.5.3 using backup CWM or I'm pretty much screwed up :o:eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
For those who were wondering about bluetooth. It works great with my Jabra headset and my radio in my car. (2008 Focus with Sync) Calling and audio streaming works great, no hiccups, and it does auto reconnect.
[Captivate Android Development] Cboss:
Glad to say the same
[Captivate Android Development] kimchi0400:
Locale never changed or fixed anything. It's literally a bug on rogers network.
[Captivate Android Development] rockosifraldi:
Beta 1 is a 1 click odin, no file slot there :D

In my understanding you can not use CWM to go back to 4.5.3 (different versions of CWM), you can go back to JF6 from beta 2 using the 1 click ODin for JF6 and back to 4.5.3
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Looks like the infamous charging issue has been solved with this ROM...

Anyone pulling at 100% and dropping lower than 98% upon pulling the USB connector?

Some are claiming its an issue on every GB ROM. So far it seems DG's ROM/Kernel combo does not have this issue,
[Captivate Android Development] ln100:
I have charged to 100% several times on this ROM and it is still 100% after unplugging.
[Captivate Android Development] Kenn Lynch:
How do you a prox sensor fix?

[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
So I'm holding my two cappy's side by side. One running 2.2 rom with ext4 and overclocked to 1.4. My other with beta 2. The beta is smoother, loads apps and web pages quicker, and the screen is noticeably clearer and brighter. It almost looks like the 2.2 phone has a tint on it, compared to the beta. This rom is amazing! Can't wait to see what it's like with lagfix incorporated into it. Thanks DG for the dope "beta" rom. Can't wait to see what the future brings!
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Just wondering... Since I can't get my Cappy to be recognized on a computer, (Short in the USB port) Is there a way that I can still flash kernel/bootloaders for this?

I am currently running Cog 4.5.3 and loving it... Just waiting for Cog 5 to come out of beta to try it...

Been with DG since Cog 2... Haven't used anything since! Thanks man!
[Captivate Android Development] Copronymous:
Blue-ish tint? Could be differences in the phone in terms of visuals. Some Cappy displays have that.
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
Short in which USB port, phone or computer?

Phone = replacement phone

Computer = Try another USB port

No other USB ports on computer = get new computer ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
Phone. I don't think I can get a replacement as I have had this phone almost 2 years and it was a refurb...

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1128508

I posted about it there in the Q&A forums ^

I have tried on four computers... so I'm pretty sure it isn't that. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] hoopas:
Same here. Overnight after unplugging it dropped 2%. Never had that on any other GB rom.....I like it!
[Captivate Android Development] harpo1:
Including yourself. Plus it was a problem on all GB ROMs prior to KF1.
[Captivate Android Development] Cdub5:
Way to kill my buzz man. Thanks. Haha. Anyway, you might be right. Gonna put beta on my other phone to see if it changes that. This rom is still pretty nice!
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
I am actually wondering the same thing since the resulting zip's are CWM 3.x compatible, but it seems as if some folks are having problems flashing 3.x zips in the new 4.x versions?
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
Huh the captivate isn't even been out a year!
[Captivate Android Development] Donmotobike:
Thanks man

so I need to go back JF6 and then can I do a restore(mycurrent backup 4.5.6) from JF6 using CWM? Thanks alot bro I just need a backup plan to make sure I can still use my phone after dicking around odin all night long..this is so Apple-ish - you know hook me up a computer and update me with a usb cord lol...i love the idea of updating a system using rom manager by just downloading from your phone - we were so spoiled using rom manager now back to old school odin - its all good so don't trip little blue man...cheers!:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
uhh... yes you are right. My bad. was thinking of my LAST samsung phone. lol

Me = Noob fail. ;)

It WAS a refurb though!
[Captivate Android Development] BenKranged:
I don't have a link to the thread but I read about this "bug" on here on xda. It was said when the battery reaches 100% android stops charging so it doesn't fry the battery. If left on the charger it does not charge anymore until the battery runs down to 95% then repeat this process. This is why when you unplug the phone it may be between 95 and 100.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
The issue was (and apparently still is apparently primarily with i9000 GB ROMs where the phone was discharging after it reached 100%, I had the issue with every one of them at one time or another. You pull the USB cable and may see 80% or less. No trickle charging after 100%, I think the charger stops charging but trickle charges to keep the battery as close to full as possible.

Have not read of a single issue with that on any i897 ROM.......yet,
[Captivate Android Development] Johnsondr80:
Like studacris said.

Just make it where it wont boot up or only show Att screen and tell them kie's update failed while getting kb1 update.

**** happens Samsung and Att have a deal together to replace these phones in this situation, and nine out of ten Att reps don't care, and like you and me just have a job. Theirs is to "satisfy customer quickly and move on."

Give it a whril.

If you are nervous, before you take out your cappy. Remove simCard for about two hours or so then put it in another phone. Call Att and tell them how kie'a failed. And your phone wont start up.

Let them tell you to go to Att store.

Then move on with your new device.

Nothing ever fails but a try.
[Captivate Android Development] eccezarathustra:
Can someone explain to me why I can't use hsdpa... Not hsupa. I am barely getting 0.5mbps down. I was getting 5mbps down on i9000 modems. That is a sizable difference.

Currently using tljl3, but had the same results with the bundled modem.

I knew I'd be giving up some speed for the audience chip but this is a bit much.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
It still is from what I am reading. Yes indeed, until KF1 I had the issue on all the i9000 ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] Thunder22:
I had a build 1007 with terrible gps. Did a little research on xda. Lookup samsung captivate shutdown problem. I went to a corporate att store. Told them signal strength was terrible and that it shutdown randomly in standby. Long story short there is an internal memo stating to replace phone if made before nov 9 2010. flashed to jf6 stock before i brought in and told them my update to android 2.2 keeps failing and making me wait to redownload. Voila i recieved a build 1009 with excellent gps.
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
To avoid any isues i always wipedata factory reset in recovery of course and the install and personally i never gotten the bugs you guys mention here
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
So I've seen a lot more instability-related posts for Beta 2 than I did Beta 1. Just curious, those of you who went from Beta 1 to Beta 2, do you recommend going ahead and upgrading? Did you notice any performance differences?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I don't think you are missing much by holding on the version that works for you best, I have done that plenty of times with ROMS. Skipping a version I was having issues with and stayed with stability until a version came out that was stable on my device.

I don't notice any measurable difference, But beta 2 works for me so I will stick with it,
[Captivate Android Development] keredini:
Not to hijack but how long ago did you do this? I'd be curious if this is still applicable.
[Captivate Android Development] BigBen:
Not me. Pulling the plug at 100% and it stays there for half an hour or more! Sounds silly, but I think that's one of the greatest things about this ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] frankdogg:
I created a battery mod for this rom using the uot kitchen and posted it in the themes thread. The cwm3 based zips flashed fine, I had no problems. Ymmv.
[Captivate Android Development] snowake:
They replaced your 1007 with a 1009? I am guessing the memo is a rumor or the date is wrong because 10=Year and 09=September. However, good to know we can act naive at the store after flashing to jf6 and get a new one.
[Captivate Android Development] mgdeez:
So I'm having some trouble. I'm coming from Cog v. 4.5.3...I Odin 1-clicked to UCKF1 no problem. Now, I've tried flashing the kernerl through SGS Kernel Flasher and with Odin 1.82 and it's not taking. After each flash when I check the about phone it shows kernel version as 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832, same as with the Odin 1-click. I've followed alot of this thread but not all of it, I'm just wondering what am I doing wrong? Thanks for any help.

---Nevermind....didn't realize the only way to get to CWM was through the button sequence...I was looking for an option on the shutdown menu :(
[Captivate Android Development] steph2:
Thats right its the same kernel just CWM added is all

Try turning off phone hold vol up and down then holp power till you see life let go of all 3 and you should boot into CWM 3 shorty then you can flash beta 2 from there
[Captivate Android Development] mgdeez:
Thanks...about 5 minutes after I posted my question I tried to boot into CWM and then I saw the 4.0.0.X and knew I had updated the kernel! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Red_81:
I replaced mine from the shutdown issue. I noticed the refurbished unit was an older one with a newer board installed. The sticker under the battery was different than stock and it was bigger.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
+1 I did the same thing and got a 1011 and GPS works regardless of the settings.

Did it at a device service center

(Why can computer auto correct like phones, I guess its making me lazy lol.)
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
What do you mean by bigger?
[Captivate Android Development] Dave the Knave:
Meaning it looks like this:

Don't mind my hacked up SIM card. Had a very brief stint with an iPhone4.

(I'm using Beta 1) I'm starting to think there is a battery drain issue with the gmail app. I accidentally did not enable my email sync for a couple days. I had amazing battery life, so I enable my email sync and my battery depleted in 8 hours with only low-moderate use. I've also noticed that android system went up to using nearly 20% of my battery and previously the process used nowhere near that much. I don't remember the initial value because I didn't think to screenshot because it wasn't an issue.

Overall the ROM has done very well and I'm excited to be using it. I'm going to be doing further investigation into this and I'm really curious if anyone else has had this issue. I found this in the I9000 forums about email batter drain but this is all I've been able to come up with:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=13746020

I've also noticed that the auto-brightness tends to leave the screen on a very high setting and I've used screen filter or turned off auto-brightness to combat battery drain from that angle. Anyone else have any ideas/input on the subject?
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
Not sure but ...
[Captivate Android Development] :
Oh, wow. That is even worse than what I was having. Interesting. I'm going to change around some sync settings and see if I can get the battery life back. Then maybe I can figure it out. Thanks for the info.
[Captivate Android Development] vunuts:
Sorry for the late response, but yea, I've got both units set up to auto connect.
[Captivate Android Development] Cease1:
That's actually average battery life on mine since Day 1...

So I use Juice Defender to limit Data and thus slightly prolong my battery life...

I'm guessing that my phone should be getting better battery life...
[Captivate Android Development] bulletproof1013:
Yeah that's not bad battery life in my opinion.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
When I used to be on Stock Eclair I could get like <2% an hour when on Wifi. I haven't been able to get that again. Now its more like 6%+. I haven't had a chance to test this ROM much.
[Captivate Android Development] jpeg42:
Had this happen on two calls today. At first I thought the battery had died, but it was over 60%. It just dropped the call and went to the AT&T boot screen. I say around 3-4 mins into each call.
[Captivate Android Development] :
No, it's not bad at all, I would just like to try to pinpoint the cause of the extra drain, I didn't have values that large before I enabled the gmail sync.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:

[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
I had mine reboot while trying to do voice command to navigate somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] wgarrido:
So I wonder then if Samsung will release 2.3.4.
[Captivate Android Development] dodaniels:
Just an FYI also, they looked at my 1007 and said they couldn't believe I hadn't brought it in already. They swapped with 1009 and my GPS has been operational since, no matter what rom/flash. Did it about 2 months ago. They took my battery out of my old phone and put in the 1009 and the battery was way better. Right now I am having issues with drain but I expected that when playing around with roms.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
U should only be using one of the I897 modems with this Rom.

I897 modems and I897 kernels need to be paired. As well, i9000 modems and i9000 kernels need to be paired. Don't mix I897 w/ I9000 or u will have issues.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Yeah, if he has JL3 on this, I am surprised he is getting data at all....
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
And as has been stated previously, since there is a problem with flashing the modem zips, just pull the modem.bin out of the zips and put it in the phone slot in Odin 1.81 or similar and flash the desired modem that way. (the phone being in download mode of course and connect it to computer after u open Odin)

I had my jawbone "pocket dial" a random contact from my address book today, as it has in the past with other versions of Cognition. In the past I could disable a2dp and the problem would go away, but now it seems to persist even with a2dp disabled on the phone.

I'm trying to upgrade to 5b2 from 5b1.

How do I tell if step 2 worked?

My kernel version is now 2.6.35.7-I897UCKF1-CL273832

Does that look about right?

Also, with step 3:

I just copy the 5b2.zip over to my SD, then:

Go into ROM Manager app -> Flash CWM REcovery -> choose phone model -> install from from SD card?

The thing is that when I click "Flash CWM Recovery", the popup window does not list the Captivate. It only gives Galaxy S i9000, Galaxy S i9000(MTD), Google Nexus S and Nexus S 4G. Which one do I pick?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] zephyrcube:
Step 3:

Flash the full rom via ClockworkMod Recovery. (not from rom manager!)

Boot into recovery, choose zip file.

I don't think the right way is to try from rom manager.
[Captivate Android Development] fezzy102:
Have to boot into recovery though button combo not rom manager.rom manager is not set up yet.

Coming from CM7, I have to say the battery life with this ROM is phenomenal. I've been off the charger for 15 hours now, sent 50+ texts, placed a 30 minute phone call, and spent a moderate amount of time browsing the web and running the xda app. I'm sitting at 25% battery right now. With CM7, I'd easily burn through 15-20% per hour, where I'm averaging 5% per hour on Cognition. I think this is quite possibly the best battery life I've ever had. Thank you DG for taking a great ROM and making it better. You're truly an asset to our community.
