It is listed under Mobile AP on my current ROM, but yes, I want to make sure I can turn my phone into a portable hotspot with this ROM. From the sound of your reply, it looks like you can. I don't use it often, but it comes in handy in a pinch.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Basically Samsung hasn't made everything open source. Drivers are closed sourse. CM7 is a complete AOSP compilation and since they can not get source for everything, CM7 is unable to put few things on sleep thus causing battery drain. If CM7 team get access to Samsung's drivers, i'm sure they can do way better.

I know brother, I was trying to say (in a nice way) that Fate-Silver's comment was incorrect;) post #388
[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
Loving this rom it went to number 1 favorite. Only thing I did was removed all of bloat. Changed to samurai kernel and added quick pic...which I prefer over the gallery....I've been letting it cook for three days with no issues...to me the battery life is excellent since its pretty much in my hand 24/7 without under volting and over clocked to 1.3. Its streamline and prefect.

Dead speaker

Hey guys,

I recently started getting issue with main speaker. It becomes dead at random. Initially I thought that it has something to do with my ROM but then I realized that it happened when I was on other ROMs too. Later after searching online I found that it is a manufacturing defect. Batch 1006, 1007 and probably 1008 had loose speaker contacts. If I tap on speaker, it used to work again. Last night it went dead again and no matter how hard I tap on it or literally press it, sound won't come back. I accident dropped the phone though, it came back then for few moments and went dead again.

Only solution now seem to me is to open up my Captivate. :(

I was wondering if anyone of you have a dead captivate (like broken screen or bricked or whatever but atleast a working speaker before it went dead) or if you know anyone who has and willing to give it to me?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Did you install 1.0.1 instead of latest 1.1? Because 1.1 has Samurai kernel 1.2 by default and has QuickPic embedded in ROM itself.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
It's just my experiences.

Battery life:

i897 Gingerbread based ROMs > i9000 GB based ROMs > CM 7/i897 Froyo based ROMs > MIUI
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Funny you should mention this. I never had this trouble before and, suddenly it started acting up last night.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
What is the build number of your captivate? As per my search results the problem was associated with first three batches.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Illu finally figure out the problem with the video player its the stage fright i set it up like this media.stagefright.enable-player=false media.stagefright.enable-meta=false media.stagefright.enable-scan=false media.stagefright.enable-http=true media.stagefright.enable-rtsp=false and everything works fine and the 7th battery png needs to be change to 7 its 8 :D only minor mistake and im still running the RC1 if its the same one :D everything is so smooth and the battery is really a pro for me sorry was not able to update that quick was busy working on weekends xD thanks illu for a great rom
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Build number 1007 and last 4 of my IMEI is 1279. I got the thing the day it came out. I know it is within the original range of the sleep death issue, but I didn't have stock on here long enough to figure out if I experienced that or not. I figure it is too late to get any kind of a replacement phone, considering it was summer of 2010, but all the issues with this phone (GPS, sleep death and now the speaker) are really ticking me off.
[Captivate Android Development] droid330:
Just installed this Rom this morning and I'm stoked on it.Coming from fasty's update,which was very unstable on my Cappy.Props to everyone who made this Rom rock esp the IlluminatedOne.B-)PS:Very stable and fast on my Cappy.Will report on battery life later this evening ...

[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
aw just saw your post sorry to hear that you take a look at ebay heres the link on the ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-Samsun...708876?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item415e2a5d0c its around 13 plus shipping
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
What issues were you experiencing? I've been experimenting with the stagefright settings which is where he got them from. Most ROMs have them set like that so I was wondering what my phone would be like with them enabled.
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
This is true for people who do not have data/sync enabled and use exchange email. If you do use a lot of data and everything is push-synced, the CM7 roms give the best battery life.

I have been using Illuminance rom for just over a week as my daily driver and have been very happy with the look and responsiveness and GPS... only drawback is battery life (e-mail consumes most of it). I currently get about 8hrs on this (used to get 16hrs on CM7.1 with same usage)

Just a comparison... not a complaint...
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
yes i use my phone as mobile hotspot on this rom, for my touch pad...its works...but depends on the data speed....

---------- Post added at 03:23 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

I also have all push-synched. One office email and 4 gmail accounts with two texting apps and still i am getting around 15-16 hrs battery.....the best I ever got with my usage.....

may be becoz i did a clean flash this time....means wiped my phone completely and flashed to stock then flashed this rom...speed and battery is best ever...
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Video seems to lag playing a 1080p and some. Avi files are not playing when its enable
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
But same settings seems to be working for me. Anyways, thanks for the input.

I too got my phone on first day of its launch and it falls in range of sleep death. Well GPS never created an issue for me and like you, I have never stayed on stock for more than first 2 weeks. Sleep death created problem for me many times but that is still fine. But this speaker problem is unbearable. And unfortunately it is out of warranty now. :(

That is not external speaker. This part is associated to earphone jack and the speaker used for calls. The loudspeaker is different which is used for ringtones, alarms and music. Thanks for trying though. I appreciate it.

You should get way more than 8 hours. Are you on 1.1 or 1.0.1?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
I haven't tried a 1080 video though. :o
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
was playing tron 1080p the one existz gave to people to test the vodoo video color on talon seems to lag when its enable and my .avi files x-men first class wont play at all when its enable. oh here the loudspeaker captivate ebay link thought your looking for a in call speaker http://www.ebay.com/itm/PH-RI-SS-02...227?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf7a2f03 30 bucks though
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Illum, the front and rear speaker are all part of earpiece unit. Read through this post. Break down
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Not really. They can be separated from each other. Ebay link Sinichi21 gave last time clearly mentions that it is not Loudspeaker.

But thanks for the tear-down link. That helps. Also, it seems that the speaker is not dead, but the contacts are really bad. May be opening it up will give clear idea about what can be done to resolve this issue.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Haha I should've kept hitting next when I put "speaker" in the search bar:o
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Didn't know the phone could support playing video back in 1080p... Mind sending me the file or a link to it so I can see how it runs on my phone? Also were you using the stock player (I'm going to make a semi-educated guess that the answer's a yes)
[Captivate Android Development] Yaantra:
I am on 1.1, if you can suggest a way to take screenshot, i will be more than happy to post it...

Here's what i see in Battery status:

Email - 39%

Display - 13% (my brightness is set to all the way at minimum)

Cell Standby - 12%

Android system - 8%

Android os - 7%

voice calls - 6%

phone idle - 5%

rest all are below 5%

I came from CM7.1, (had ATT KJ3 BL's) -> wiped data/dalvik, Master Cleared SD, flashed Boog's kernel -> flashed 1.01 -> Wiped data/cache, dalvik and battery stats -> flashed 1.1

I have tried calibrating my battery by cycling (2 full cycles)...

When i find more time, i will try to do a fresh install starting all the way from installing the KJ3 BL's back and see what i get. In the mean time, would appreciate if you could point me to way to get some screenshots.

Thanks! (BTW loving the rom)

[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
This is from yesterday. It was not a work day for me so it is minimal use but you can see it is MUCH better that that with 13 hours and at 73%.
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
You can use screenshot app from Market.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
U would be better of to just start from the Stock KJ3

NO Bootloaders

, since u already have the Bootloaders. There's no need to flash the Odin that contains the BL's again.
[Captivate Android Development] DDNV:
Ear piece

This what you need? It's the earpiece.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/AT-T-Samsun...ccessories&hash=item415e2a5d0c#ht_1414wt_1037

It's got to be one of the two. Sinchi21's is the back loud speaker for sure.

I recently took apart my wife's cappy after she got it wet. Dried it and cleaned it at work (cleanroom) and it worked fine again. Wasn't hard. Just don't force it.

I also seem to remember a post way earlier this year or last that someone had an issue with the earpiece when a cover was on and the cover was pushing on it. Anyways, should be fixable.

DDNV
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Not earpiece. I need loudspeaker. sinichi21 gave me the link for that too.

I believe opening my phone and cleaning the speaker contact pads (or something like that to make sure good contact) will do the trick. Will try to open it up next weekend.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
I have a random problem and I thought I will ask here:

Whenever I open phone app and try to go to call log, it just closes automatically and puts me back to home screen (no fclose), and only reboot fixes this problems and this gets very annoying as closes every time after I open phone app and try to dial a number from dial pad, the only option to call is go from contact and then call from there. Also I have observed this problem only on latest GB roms and have not observed on froyo or initial GB or CM7. Can anyone help me what is happening here? As this problem is getting very serious and to make a phone call I had to restart the phone :(
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
Does anyone know if restoring apps with data using tibu can cause any lag problems or battery issues? I came over from pinnacle and I'm on 1.1 with lagfix enabled (flashed from stock) and I get a lit of lag and terrible battery life with this. Just curious if that could have anything to do with it.
[Captivate Android Development] watsa:
When did you flash this? Give it some time and see if that helps battery life. If thats not the case see what is eating your battery? Could be a rogue app.
[Captivate Android Development] Fate-Silver:
Maybe something like Advance Memory Killer, Advance Task Manager, Advance Task Killer, etc...

These stuffs can be battery hogging because they keep running in the background and kill your "needed apps" randomly.
[Captivate Android Development] sinichi21:
Im using the video player that comes with the RC1 the video too big for me to upload on any free website :( its 1.60 GB, i remember getting this video from existz when he was doing his beta test on talon voodoo color its an .mkv file TRON movie to be exact when playing that the pictures lag but the voice still plays i believe it was an issue too before on talon because before we were using chainfire app to get ext4 to work on talon and stage fright was one of the options there and there were some people that have issue on video playback when its enable. I think any 1080p video .mkv would work as a test video.
[Captivate Android Development] kafepuya:
I have the same problem. I have noticed out on this rom, fasty kj2 and fusion 9. I don't remember an earlier occurrence than the kj leaks, but its definitely a real issue.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Hey Illum, how abot this 1 - Loudspeaker. 2 - Loudspeaker
[Captivate Android Development] glwilliams4:
I flashed Saturday afternoon. Charged it all night, let it die Sunday. Charged it all Sunday night, let it die last night. It's just it's dying on my probably 3-5 hours before Pinnacle would die.

I'm pretty sure I don't have any rouge apps...phone says that display is using most of battery and throughout the day the most battery intensive apps will show up as they are being used. Even if I did have a rogue app that wouldn't explain the lag. For example when you long press the search button for voice commands how long does it take to actually show up? For me it's like literally 3-5 seconds, which seems kind of long.

Swype

Was wondering if anyone has a nice Black Glossy Swype theme that works with Illuminance 1.1? And if not, can I pull the Swype from any Rom, or does it have to come from one based on KH3-KJ3 (I897) as opposed to JVR, JVS, JVT et al. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
Dude I was having same problem as you. So Illum told me to do clean flash, wipe data and then flash back to stock.....what I did was i wiped every possible thing on my phone....then Flashed KJ3 with boatloader.......than installed all the apps one by one.....I have no lag..and battery life reaches almost 24 hrs everyday....with normal use and 15-16 hrs with heavy use...i also made sure to do all the battery tricks...

try that it might help...

---------- Post added at 11:30 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:29 AM ----------

I have same problem too and it get annoying sometimes when i have to make urgent call....I thoughts its just me lol....
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
Ditto on this. Problem happens with Phone, Contacts, and stock SMS
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Paul Diddy Black Swype. SEXY.

His entire theme is for JVT, but I've had success flashing the standalone Swype package on just about anything. It doesn't flash on CM/MIUI, but manually moving Swype.apk/libSwypeCore.so to the appropriate places does the trick.
[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
Originally I downloaded the 1.0.1 then wiped my phone and went to 1.1....when I rebooted gallery was available so I uninstalled and added quickpic, as far as the samurai I went into recovery and the flamingo dancer wasn't there and it said corn kernel. So I flashed 3.0.7
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
I decided to run the same build on phone so that I can verify a few problems. I do not have any problem with Phone and Contacts app. And I am not sure what is causing this on your phones. Anyways, Phone.apk and Dialertab.apk will be replaced in next version as I have modified a few things in them.
[Captivate Android Development] lilbigdude1:
I will give props to the devs....this is the first Tom that I've been completely happy with. I like the look the speed and the stability.....other roms seem to start getting buggy after two or three days and this one is stable

Hahahahahaha RT, did it make you chuckle?
[Captivate Android Development] panda703:
Love the ROM. Only issue is spotty GPS but that's the captivate for ya lol
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
can i flash over I897UCKF1?
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
Yes you can. If you find it buggy, start over with Stock KJ3.
[Captivate Android Development] waghoba:
Although this is just a random guess, but is it possible that information in the call log might be the root of this problem? I mean I do get some ISD calls on my phone and then some weird call identification failure causes this problem...Or by any chance are you using call log backup from market? because as far as I know that is the only program I am using which directly interacts with call logs and that might be one of the causes..any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] RTBee:
You know me so well! lol :D Yep, that's exactly what I was going to try, I just wasn't sure if it worked on Roms other than i9000 based. Didn't think it would matter, but asked just the same. Thanks for the verification post Gromlakh, and always to you Tom! :D:D

edit: Just so happens I still had Paul Diddy Black Swype on my sd card from a while back. Installed it and 10 minutes later, thinking my phone could not get any better, BAM! It's better! Glossy Black is back and beautiful!
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Question... Looking at the clean installation procedure on your website:

(bear with me I am a bit of a noob). Why would we want to go back to stock JF6? What else does DG's master clear do that formatting the SD and doing a factory reset wouldn't do?

I was running cognition 5 with GB bootloaders, and I just used Odin to go to stock KJ3 and then formatted SD and factory reset. I was under the impression that now that we have Odin one clicks for like KJ3 we didn't really need to go all the way back to JF6. Is this just to make sure EVERYTHING is COMPLETELY stock? Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Jeez look at you, the Emeril of Android;)
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
DG's Master Clear formats sdcard, backup IMEI, formats efs, rewrites it. Kyuta has given a Master Clear code few pages back. You can use that on Odin OneClick KJ3 and continue. No need to go back to JF6.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Wiped clear
[Captivate Android Development] G.Hook:
Thanks sir! I will try it now. Thanks Kyuta too!

i just flashed and i cant get any data.

when i go to settings and try to activate packet data it says sim card not inserted.

anyone know?
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Silly question but did you pull the SIM's when you flashed and not put it back in? Or flash with the USB plugged in?
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
nope, but ive never done that when i flashed i'll try it though right now.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Just pull the sim restart the phone, let it completely boot. Shut it down again. put sim in and reboot. You won't need to re install the rom
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Was the USB plugged in when you flashed?
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
ok i'll try this if reflashing doesnt work

nope

update: simply reflashing worked :shrug:
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
If u have nothing under "Status" under the Menu/Settings/About phone, then flash the kj3 modem.

Edit: When I've messed around before tryin to make a .tar backup and forgot to include the modem (oops), I had the same error message.

Glad u got it.

[Captivate Android Development] Christo_69:
Curiosity question....Does it matter if the USB is plugged in???

I haven't had any problems and everything with this ROM have been excellent and I have always left the USB plugged in during flashing. Am I taking some unnecessary risk or am I being paranoid? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] IlluminatedOne:
USB plugged in while flashing can cause bad flash, nothing more.
[Captivate Android Development] xpakage:
Yes, as Illuminated stated, it is all fixable but very frustrating to figure out. Some have a lot of problems with WiFi/data if flashed with USB in.
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
I can't see any good reason why anyone would ever flash back to JF6 at this point, unless they were returning their phone for warranty repair. The "Clean Installation Procedure" from the website is, in all honesty, massive overkill for almost anyone, even people coming from CM7/MIUI. Master Clear won't do anything for you that hasn't already been done at that point except format your internal SD card, and I can't see how that would be of benefit to anyone. All the other stock/more stock/kernel flashing really doesn't accomplish much, because when Illuminance ROM installs it will format /system, /data, /cache, etc. anyway, so it doesn't matter if you're presently on JF6, KH3, KJ2, R2D2, or C3PO.

Anyone coming from a Samsung based ROM: Just flash. 95% of the time this will be enough. If problems, just reflash, because your problem is most likely a bad CWM flash.

Anyone coming from CM7/MIUI: Use Odin/Heimdall to flash any stock GB package, no bootloaders, with a CWM-enabled kernel (boog/Samurai/Corn). Then flash Illuminance.

Boom.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
it is not neccessory to flash to Jf6 or flashing stock Kj3....this rom will still work and might work good for some. But for me it was a problem, I came from Pinnacle (flashed many other roms in between) I flashed directly using CWM but it was hell lot laggy, even after aplying lagfix it wasnt good. So by Illum's recommadation I did the "clean flash" and i can tell you, huge difference in speed and battery...I dont know if its specific to this rom or all roms, but it does make a difference....

For people from CM7/MIUI, they need to flash to any stock to convert file system so even flashing to stock KJ3 will work....
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
I second this and offer my vote to you, for president:D
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Think we could get a little teaser of what's to come in the next version?
[Captivate Android Development] Gromlakh:
Your problems with lagging/whatnot is pretty typical of a bad CWM flash. It is likely you could have just reflashed from CWM and that would have done the trick. From a purely technological standpoint, if you are already on GB bootloaders and a Samsung ROM, flashing to stock does not do anything that just flashing the ROM doesn't unless the ROM isn't "full wipe." This one is, so flashing to stock doesn't offer any benefit to someone already on a Samsung ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] ebcrew:
I'm having the home button issue with this rom also. Its so weird that only cognition works for me.

I'd really love to get down to the bottom of this matter.

The home button will randomly press, but mostly while in a program. The program will close and the home button will press 4 or 5 more times. It makes using apps impossible
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Unless it's programmed into the updater-script flashing a ROM via CWM will not format anything.
