How is the performance on the Captivate wit Illuminance and Corn kernel? like speed, battery life and such?
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
If your Pinnicle is working great... It will have the same stats as that:)
[Captivate Android Development] kbolt:
My Pinnacle wasn't working too well, hence me switching. I had Samurai kernel and Voodoo lagfix but it still felt slow. and the battery life was not impressive.
[Captivate Android Development] richsale:
Unfortunately I can't get into CWM. I tried KK4 no bootloaders before I tried KK1 with no bootloaders and both only get to Setup Connection and go no further. I tried re downloading both KK4 and KK1 and both still get to Setup Connection and stop there.

I don't no what else to try, anybody have any ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] kbolt:
"There are no Android devices associated with this account."

That's the error I get when I try to download apps from Android Market on my computer to my phone. I've never seen this before and I could see my phone on Web market before. anyone knows what could've happened here?

I'm connecting, I get the yellow box and com port. It runs thru a few things and stops at SetupConnection.
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:

Ok...then since u r connecting, just try to Odin the .tar Corn kernel and then if it works use button combo to get into cwm and then u can reflash Illuminance through that.

If that does not work, ur gonna have to try different cable, usb port, computer...

I Odin the .tar Corn kernel and it went thru with no problem. Still can't get into CWM. Tried to Odin KK1- KK4 - JI6 and Odin goes to intialzation and stops. Guess I'll keep trying, there's got to be a combination that works.

Button combo (volume +/- & power til u see the att splash then release) or adb reboot recovery won't get u to cwm ?

My Cappy for one more year+

I was thinking tonight>>>>> Will some of our great developers starting to give up on the Cappy?

I sure hope not ...I for one have a year and a half contract left on my Cappy..and I still love this phone ...it servers me will and is really fast because of this ROM...

Sure the new GS2 is fast and has new feathers but nothing so earth breaking that I want to change...So thanks to the Cappy developer for making me really happy with this phone and hope you keep the faith..
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
Hey, my bad on the adb reboot recovery, 'cause u can only use that if ur phone is booted up. (was out n about and sent the reply in not thinkin it all the way through about u bootn up) :/

From everything that u have mentioned since the cable got pulled mid flash, and u not making it through an Odin full flash, etc.---- maybe give one of the Heimdall one clicks a try...

Hey, you think you could take a screenshot of your battery usage and post it please? I want to compare it to my own.
[Captivate Android Development] hizhonor:
You guys are making me jealous with your battery stats. Even with a new hi cap battery I'm struggling to get a full 8 hours use out of a charge. I've done the calibration dance and follow the other suggestions (screen brightness etc) found all over the forums. I've tried different kernels and have reflashed a few times as well.

For me, it appears that the e-mail app is causing the issues as it is always high in the battery use percentages (upper teens and higher). I just don't recall it running this high on Stock 2.2.

It may also be tied to 3G data usage for the push on my exchange accounts. If I switch to polling, I see an improvement but obviously lose the immediatcy i want with email. I also find when I leave Wifi connected I end up with 20% at the end of my work day instead of a dead battery.

I have replaced the email app with the ealier one posted elsewhere on this thread with a slight improvement. I've also experimented with K9mail on a lark and dramatically improved battery life ---- but at the expense of losing some sync features I need.

Is anybody else seeing a issues with email and battery life?

Thanks,

Steve
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
What is the easiest way to take a screen shot to post? Is it built into the phone? I have Droid Explorer, but clicking the "screen shot" button just opens a small window that is all black...

When I upgraded to the Captivate, I lost my unlimited Data. I am on the 2GB plan now and went over it twice. When I am at work and away from Wi-Fi I usually turn the Cell-Data off unless I need it for something. Then I turn it on, and turn it off again when I am done. My cooperate email is not officially using Android now (Only BES :() but they are piloting a system from Good Technology; I am trying to get into the pilot.

Maybe having the Data off is helping the batter life (This is the original battery that came with my Captivate last year!).

I also see you are using the Corn Kernel. I am using what ever come with Illuminance. Than could make a difference...?

Ok, so, I did no figure out the screen shot with Droid Explorer, but I did figure out how to make a video! So here it is. I will try to embed it here (if it will let me!):

[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
On AT&T? If you had unlimited data on AT&T upgrading does not cause you to lose it, at least that's how it's always been. By law they can't downgrade your service unless you drop it.

I've had unlimited for years and upgraded every 12-18 months without issues. I asked that question when I heard they were no longer offering it. That's the answer I got from a company store. I checked with a source at At&T as I worked for them for ten years and it was confirmed.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
bobapunk I have moved your question to Illum Q&A. Here, you will probably get more attention. Please post these non dev questions here, in the future.

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] Zero4:
You are correct. I've had the same conversations with at&t reps. Another good thing to note, if you are on a family plan (not the primary number) you can leave to start your own individual or family plan and keep the unlimited data, as long as it's still with at&t.

My data plan is the PDA Personal Max (circa 2007), the at&t reps always say "I've never heard of that plan"
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
I've had mine since around '03 or so. When PacBell Wireless IT employees went to rim devices they all had full services. When we transitioned to Cingular the devices went into our names on free plans and if you left you kept the device and numbers at a discounted rate. Sweet as it doesn't expire unless you drop it!
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
Guys please bring this into General/ Illum Q&A This has nothing to do with Development
[Captivate Android Development] kbolt:
Thank you man. Was your wifi on during all of that 20 hours? And how long did you actively use it during those 20 hours?

Oh! I'm sorry tomween1, I didn't see your post. Can I delete this last post?
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
So I've noticed that i'm getting some lag, apps freezing (temp & perm) and random reboots. I've not added any apps since flashing 3.0, it's always run fine. All of this seemed to start after I flashed the ICS theme. Just now I went to unlock the device and it was frozen, after a couple of swipes it rebooted! :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
I'm finally getting to try this out on my brother's phone that is running stock 2.2 UCKB2. I'm using the version with bootloader, which fails. :confused: Here's the log:

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..
<OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 1)

Previously, I had successfully used ODIN to root the phone so I could use TiBu. Any ideas?

After I install this, do I have to flash a kernel before illuminance? If so, which do you recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] bobapunk:
Battery Life: Wi-Fi was on for 11 hours, Cell Data was off. The phone was then on Airplane mode for 9 hours while I slept. When I woke up, there was 61% of battery remaining.

Unlimited Data: I got my Captivate through a 3rd party which requiered a new plan. That is how I lost my unlimited data. :(

Lets end these off topic questions!

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] purav17:
Can you look at the Dialer FC issue? I love this rom but the Dialer keeps FC on me.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
I tried the UCKI2 with Bootloaders Odin package that is linked from the Illuminance instructions, with the exact same results. Is there something I need to do first?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
It's gotta be a usb cable, usb port, etc. issue... Check out the Connection Issues sticky thread in the General Forum (it covers more than "connection" issues).

Be sure to right click and run as adminstrator the Odin first, then connect the phone in download mode...

As far as kernel just use either Corn or Samurai just to get the CWM in order to flash the Illuminance.

OR...

if it is one of the later Captivate builds that was released with the kb2...they don't do well with one clicks, from what I've read.

[Captivate Android Development] Nnyan:
Ok so I've been spending more time on my Cappy lately and I decided to get a new ROM (previously had used Serenity and Fasty). Not sure why but this ROM caught my eye and I decided to give it a whirl. I've only had it running a day now but so far so good. I know that's a very short time frame but I'll summarize my experience so far with some features that I must have working:

1. GPS

works great and at least as fast as stock. Very surprising since I've learned to live with slow GPS locks and such on most of the custom ROMs, this was a pleasant surprise. I traveled all over and updates/locks were very quick.

2. Bluetooth

Again works great so far, with the caveat that I haven't had a chance to get/make too many calls as of now. But it did connect relatively quickly to all my BT headsets (a bit slower then the fastest for all my Jawbones but still faster then most). This is almost always the reason

3. Battery Life

So far so good but I like to have at least 3-4 charge/discharge cycles before I start judging a ROM/Kernel.

So other then that here are some things I would like to change:

A) Can we toggle the display of the USB connected icon?

B) Anyone know how to disable the recovery background graphic? Not great for a professional environment.

C) How can I disable the desktop background from scrolling when you go to different pages?

E) Can you remove the direction arrow from the circular lockscreen?

Anyway so far great ROM!
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Is there an alternative to one-clicks?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
There's Heimdall "Package" Firmwares--these are different than Heimdall One Clicks. Or u could just use the GB Leaked i897 firmwares. For the most part they come in a single .tar file that u put in the PDA slot in the regular Odin.

And they do contain bootloaders.

[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
I was already on my third cable, all three of which work on another cappy.

On my third try, it proceeded to the next step which was the kernel install. It then went through a reboot loop where a weird voice in the background said something about repartitioning. The only way to stop the loop was to go back into download mode, so I tried another Heimdall, which worked. I897UCKH3 2.3.4 is now installed.

So now I want to change to Illuminance 3.0.1. I'd like to use 4-2ndtwin Odin to prepare, but it hangs. I used the no bootloader version. Here's the log:

<ID:0/006> Added!!
<ID:0/006> Odin v.3 engine (ID:6)..
<ID:0/006> File analysis..
<ID:0/006> SetupConnection..

While still back on 2.2, I had a similar issue with One-click Odins.

The existing bootloader looks a bit barebones, so I suspect it's not CWM. I tried flashing the latest Boog and Corn and recieved the same error: E:signature verification failed.

Any ideas on what to try from here?
[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
From the stock that u r on (or any Stock Firmware) u have to Odin or Heimdall flash the kernel. ---- Use the .tar for Odin or just the zImage for Heimdall Front-End.

U can't flash a .zip kernel while u r Stock.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Thanks 4-2ndtwin. Odin also hangs when installing a kernel. I used the PDA slot.

Heimdall doesn't like the tar (error: firmware .xml is missing from the package) or the zImage extracted from the tar (error: Tar header contained an invalid file size).

I suspect that I'm missing something basic here.
[Captivate Android Development] XaberTheBlade:
i had huge issues with heimdall. heimdall likes to install its own driver, said driver causes problems if you try to odin afterwards. you will have to uninstall the heimdall drivers before running odin. when i flashed this rom i found myself bouncing between driver sets more often than i would have liked but i am super happy with the rom.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
When using Heimdall you have to have the pit file and you need to use the Flash tab which should be the second tab.

Load the pit file into the pit file slot, then click add, select kernel, then load the zImage
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:
As you've stated the sound was the process of reparationing, this happens when it's turning lagfix (or ext4) on or off, in initial setup of kernel. (ext4)
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Where can I find pit files? There is no mention of them on the kernel's threads.
[Captivate Android Development] TonyStark R.I.P.:

[Captivate Android Development] 4-2ndtwin:
I think I even attached .pit file in a zip to this thread... Back out to the title and click the "paperclip" and u should see it. I just put it in a zip at the time so that I could upload it to my post.

It is the .pit file that came with the i897ucKF1 leaked firmware.

[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
The more I learn, the more confused I get! I couldn't find the zip file under the paperclip. I then tracked down a source (the only original source?) of leaked ROMs, SamFirmware, joined and downloaded the ROM. I couldn't open it because it requires an unknown password. They list the pit as S1JE4.pit, but I could not find that as a separate download. Again, I suspect I'm missing the obvious. I'm working hard for this upgrade!
[Captivate Android Development] Stevenrogers_420:
Password = sampro.pl
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Thanks, but it didn't work on the file. :(

Edit: It seems to have partially worked. 7Zip gave a password error, but the file was in the extraction directory. However, Heimdall says it's not a valid pit file.

Really screwed now?

I'm back in familiar territory of flashing Illuminance, but somehow even stranger things are going wrong. I flashed 3.0 and then 3.01, but now I seem to have a bricked phone.

When booting the AT&T screen runs for a few seconds, blinks and then seems to restart, loop. When I boot into recovery and select 'choose zip from sdcard', I get these messages:

Is there any way to recover from this?

Edit: Never mind - went back to stock with Heimdall. Now back to installing a CWM kernel, and then Illuminance once more. I sure hope this isn't a loop!

Edit: Now installing the kernel doesn't work - Heimdall crashes in the middle. This cappy defeated me. I'm done. At least it's upgraded to GB.

I know things like this can be beyond frustrating. Just give yourself a break and try again in a few hours or days, your choice. The problem could be something as simple as a micro usb/usb cable that u thought was good and then now it won't work. (I have had this happen. And then tried a different cord and success). There are a lot of variables.

I could be wrong but I'm pretty sure HSUPA support depends on the modem, not the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] steveorg:
Thanks for the encouragement and the advice about cables. I've tried a few cables, but perhaps more importantly, I successfully used two of the cables with my own cappy. The feel of how the cables connect is a little different, so I wouldn't be surprised if the connector is slightly damaged.

In any case, I was doing a favor for my brother, he needs his phone back, at least it has an upgrade to GB and unresolved issues with my annoying phone is a better use of my precious time. So my brother's phone is in the rear view mirror, but more cappy frustration awaits! :)
