no issues here with charge of death.

Captivate GB Bootloaders and I use a Blackberry torch usb cable with an iphone wall jack adapter lol.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
You guys are lucky anytime I use a 1A charger my touch screen becomes very unresponsive. Weird!
[Captivate Android Development] Silencer96:
For CM9, should I use NStools or the performance tab in the settings to change the clock speed? Both seem to work, so I can't choose -___-'
[Captivate Android Development] mike21pr:
I have grounding issues with mine where screen is unresponsive if I dont hold it in my hands. Im not bothered by it though since its the charger not the phone
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
my acer tablet is useless when plugged in. my screen goes batpoop crazy lol i guess it depends on the device? or maybe i have a bad ground in my outlet i charge my tab with....hmmmm...
[Captivate Android Development] bentonhall:
I have reboots with or without apps installed unless I'm using the glitch kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I just had my phone set up almost perfectly. The only issue I was originally having is that vibrate mode doesn't seem to work: the phone only vibrates for notifications and messages when set to ring+vibrate, but is completely silenced if set to vibrate only.

But now I have a new issue that I can't seem to get around. I have less than 50 apps installed, and while I planned on installing about 100 more that I normally have on my phone, I can't because the datadata partition is somehow already full :confused:

This happened when I tried to restore a couple of old free apps that were pulled from the market a while ago (apps only, no data, and individual restores, not batch) using Titanium Backup. When I tried to restore one of these small (<5MB) apps, the restore process never completed (hung at loading spinner) and the "Low on space" notification appeared in the notification drawer, even though I have over 1.6GB of app space free. Once this happened, I got several force closes, so I killed Titanium Backup and rebooted the phone.

However, the "Low on space" notification remains and my datadata partition is still full—although I can't figure out what's taking up all the space since there is nothing unusual there when I check using a root file explorer. I can't figure out how to clear the notification and regain my ability to install more than 50 apps. :(
[Captivate Android Development] rifleman2:
Capacitive touch screens are very sensitive to common mode noise (CMN) from chargers and cheap chargers usually skimp on the extra components (e.g., Y-CAP) needed to suppress CMN, especially high power output chargers. Grounding definitely helps but almost all chargers leave off the ground plug to keep the chargers small, so that is why you may see the touch performance get better when you hold the device.

Most touch screen vendors tweak their firmware to eliminate CMN output from a bundled charger, so using the charger that shipped with the device should yield good results if the power and touch screen engineers knew what they were doing.

search for datadata, there are tons of posts that discuss it.

simple suggestion, move apps to SD.

To see how much space you really have type "df -h /datadata" in terminal
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
I know there are a lot of posts about it, but they all suggest that something is actually taking up the space that can be found with a file manager. Moving apps to SD isn't an option for me. I'm going to try formatting system and reflashing, but now CWM won't cooperate with me even though everything went perfectly the first time :/

Edit: I clean flashed and formatted /system this time. After booting, without installing any new apps, I only have 166MB free on the /datadata partition. That's pretty much unusable for me.

Edit edit: I looked into the reasoning behind using the smaller but faster /datadata partition in CM. But when the solution for low memory is "move apps to SD", the reasoning sounds pretty dumb since the /data partition is much faster than the fastest available microSD.
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
I have been one of the unfortunate ones experiencing charge-death since build 13. I have a very early Cappy, 1007 I think, but I don't want to pull the battery to verify right now. I charge every night, all night on a stock charger. Been through lots of ROMs. Seen many other folks complaining of charge death, but was "lucky" not to be one of them. As I said my luck has ended.

I've seen a lot of talk about the battery overheating as the root cause. I really don't think so, but cannot prove it. I've never caught it, just as it dies, so I cannot say for sure. But, in general, the phone just doesn't get hot when charging.

I did have some luck with the test kernels, especially #2, a couple builds back. My impression was that the test was on the right track. In build 13, before the test kernels, I was having 100% (7 charge cycles) charge deaths. Installing test kernel #2, and no other changes, gave me 20% charge deaths in 5 charge cycles.

Needless to say, there are many factors in play. Room temperature (maybe), how far discharged was the battery, apps installed, configuration, kernel, phone build, what charger, battery health, and so on.

So I got to thinking about the past victims of charge death and all their conversations. Once thing that came to mind was the idea that the Wi-Fi Always On setting was effective in preventing charge death. I have been running with it set to "Only when plugged in" in an effort to reduce idle battery usage since starting to use ICS. "Always On" had been my preferred setting.

Anyway, 2 days ago I set Wi-Fi back to "Always On" and no charge death in 2 nights. Just early results, but encouraging enough to share.

I'll keep the group posted, but this makes me wonder...could the modem be involved? I see we are running JL3 now. I don't think that was always the case. Which build moved to JL3?
[Captivate Android Development] boog:
For those of you getting sleep death & charge death, maybe try (as a workaround): get setcpu http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505419 and set the mininmum cpu to 200 mhz.

Hopefully that helps!
[Captivate Android Development] modmyphone:
AlarmManager gone haywire

Any ideas on how I can get Alarm Manager to stop killing my battery? Unplugged my phone @ ~6:00am at 99%. At 8:04am it gives me a battery notification of 4%. WTF!

Check BBS, and AlarmManager has been killing me with 4200+ partial wakelocks! Not a wonder I have no battery life. It never goes to sleep.

Didn't want to really have to go back to B13, but this is getting ridiculous.

Calibrated battery: YES

Reinstalled ROM: YES

Reinstalled Gapps: YES

Gapps fixer: YES

Any Combination of the Above: YES

Any ideas appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] DarkisFever:
Alright random bug report: Calls to Voicemail does not actually work for some reason. (Build 14)
[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
Thanks I tried 200 mhz and 400 mhz neither one helps.

Also I always use "wifi-on always on" option.

I took some time and started reviewing the kernel code and some major changes were made in the cpufreq and voltage control from the new to old kernels around build 10 and 11.

Thanks

Is the rom work with the armani i9010 ?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] GGXtreme:
Does anyone else have the issue that vibrate only mode doesn't work? I've reflashed multiple times, and vibrate with ring works, but vibrate and silent modes are both silent on my device.

On a separate issue, I found what I think is the best solution for the "low on space" issue from the CM forum: it doesn't involve moving apps to SD or giving up the speed benefit of the 170MB partition. I'll post it when I get the chance.

Edit: the vibrate option was in the SMS app settings. Whoops.
[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
yes, i had the vibrate issue before... but mine wouldnt vibrate no matter what the ring style was... i never bothered to figure it out, or try to fix it, just kept flashing new builds as they were released the same way i always do figuring itll work one day... it began working with build 15...
[Captivate Android Development] gautaml:
Hey all,

I was on FireFly 3.0 (android 2.2) and installed (successfully) BUILD 15 just a moment ago.

As usual I did NANDROID backup but didn't do any other backup (e.g. Titanium - actually I did but then for some stupid reason decided to delete latest TB).

Anywho, I wanted to restore my old SMS and so I got AppExtractor and restored Handscent (app+data) and also my SMS/MMS but I still don't see the messages when I fire up Handscent.

Anything I did wrong or am I SOL?
[Captivate Android Development] maizein:
I also got this problem. gtalk voice never worked, app always FC. On the other hand, Google+ hangout (video chat) works ok. I guess gtalk checks for a front-face camera and if doesn't find it, the app crashes.

Usb driver?

Hi flashed it with a little Icy Glitch and it's awesome i dont care about the video issue and the other bugs I dont even notice but I would like some usb info if anyone has it I've got sdk/google usb driver it says android composite adb interface

in the hardware but I also see my internal and external sd as another device so I dont know what the deal is I know it aint a bug and Im sorry please assist...ok still learning searched the thread and there it is at the top but still great job.
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
Well yea its gigantic battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
That battery brings a whole new meaning to the word "brick".
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Yeah but i mean its worth it seriously it doesnt make it too much bigger it still fits comfortably in my pocket i really would recomend buying this battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Razzman:
And the back cover still fits on?
[Captivate Android Development] Joecascio2000:
The battery comes with a back cover. Plus I doubt a case would fit over it. I love my Body Glove case.

*but it is a nice battery.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Read the Q&A thread in detail too. As discussed there, the USB port on a computer supplies a lower amperage, causing the battery to generate less heat. Overheating battery is the cause of sleep death, of you charge at a lower power, you can prevent it.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
Yeah it comes with one ( its plastic but its still pretty nice ) and yeah cases don't work but you could modify one to make it fit... and for 9 bucks and free shipping its nice to have even as just a backup battery.
[Captivate Android Development] kschumake83:
These batteries are hit or miss. I have one and my stock Sammy battery lasts longer so just a heads up.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
True but for 9 bucks oh well if its a miss besides one guy got a bad one and they replaced it for free.
[Captivate Android Development] ScottyNuttz:
I think you would have had to use an SMS backup program to be able to backups/restore them. You may be SOL.

Personally, I think this function should be built into Android and your Google account.

Can you please show a picture of the battery and cover installed sowe can see what it looks like?
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
sure heres some pics

I have the Seidio 3300mah battery from Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-Innocell-3300mAh-Extended-Captivate/dp/B004IK8EYC and with build 15 I'm getting 30-50 hours of use depending on use. I've had this battery since July and even on Serendipity 6 & 7 and later on CM7.1 I got at least 24 hours.

It does make the phone a little thicker but i got used to it. And it makes the sound from the back sound better when you sit it on it's back! And battery life is better than ever!

Build 15 - Netflix not working

Netflix is no longer working on Build 15. It was fine on 13 (never tried 14). Is it working for anyone?

I get the 13009 error. Works up until you start to play a show or movie.

Still, THS has been great. Thanks for all the hard work.

*** Update - after posts from users saying it worked, I uninstalled and re-installed from the Market and it is fine now. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] RichIrish:
I just migrated from Build 14 to Build 15. Everything looks great and seems to be working fine.

I do have one major issue though.. I am unable to find the "file manager". Please help.

Try clearing cache, I have no issues with Netflix.
[Captivate Android Development] voldomart13:
The only thing is its 61$ the one i bought is only 9$ + free shipping and no tax and if anythings wrong with it they will send me a new one free

ps mines a 3500 mah
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
I noticed that too. It might have been accidently left out of build 15? I just went to the Market and installed the 'OI File Manager' which was in build 14.

Camera for Captivate?

I was wondering what you guys have been doing in order to get around the whole, bare bones camera for this ICS rom.

Personally, I have lightbox and Camera ZOOM FX working together but was wondering if anyone found a way to use gnexus' camera on our cappy's. Or maybe use the stock camera's for samsung galaxy II's? What say you?
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Yes $61 now. It was $45 last July and I've seen it on sale at various sites for $45-49 in the past 8 months, but it is high quality and it lasts and lasts. Right now I have 53% battery charge remaining after 1d 16h 17m 33s and counting..

Or you can get the 2 Ankar 1800 batteries for $21! I hear they last a long time too!
[Captivate Android Development] alphahere:
COD still occurs when connected to the USB port if USB debugging is not enabled. Sorry I should have put that in the post but I did mention this in an earlier post. Anyway I am not sure if battery overheating is the cause. My cappy never gets hot when charging and we turn the heater off at night so the room is pretty cold at night. I wonder if there is a way to check the battery temp while charging? If there is a method to check battery temp while charging please advise and I will be more than happy to monitor the temp.

Thanks anyway! :)
[Captivate Android Development] caleb4992:
I don't have issues with Netflix.
[Captivate Android Development] APE992:
Minor issues I'm having on Build 15:

*Calender Sync claims to be having problems with sync as a whole but everything else seems to sync.

*Can't add Facebook to "accounts" but Exchange works fine.

Beyond that I haven't found anything too annoying after restoring 16k text messages. To anyone curious: with as much storage as we have these days I see no reason to arbitrarily delete data.

Except for the fact California cops can simply search your device at a traffic stop.

Get "Battery Indicator" from the market. It displays battery %, temp, and voltage in the notification bar.

I'm running Build-15 on my Captivate.

"Baseband version" on my phone reads -> I9000UGKG3

Does this mean I have I9000 bootloaders? If yes, what's the easiest way to get back on to I897 bootloaders?

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Wow -_- the modem is an I9000 modem which is required for this ROM, it doesn't matter which I9000 modem as long as it is I9000. What is the first thing you see when your phone boots up, AT&T or I9000
[Captivate Android Development] DaNaRkI:
Cuz from the looks of the graph details, your screen was on 30 min or less. Meaning your phone was sleeping/idle, or unused and you still lost a rather larger % of battery doing nothing.

Baseband is your modem. There is no way to know what the bootloaders are from android. One way to tell is what you see when the phone turns on. ATT logo = I897 anything else is probablyI9000.

Easiest way back is to look for a Odin/Heimdall "one-click" lots out there so take your pick.

[Captivate Android Development] RichIrish:
The first thing I see is the white AT&T splash screen.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I've never been impressed with the way TiBu works. The function it is intended to perform is invaluable, but the way the UI works is very confusing. I've never understood what is "safe" to restore and what isn't especially in terms of system data (contacts, accounts, SMS's, etc). Mostly my fault, since I've never read up on how to properly use it but the app itself gives little indication.

I'm reinstalling everthing from the market and restoring the data with TiBu now. App restore fails for every 3rd or so app, but data seems to be ok....but back to regularly scheduled programming
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
One thing I've learned with TiBu is that I install both apps (the app itself and then the PRO key) and then reboot before trying to restore apps. It may have been a single version issue but I noticed a couple times I couldn't even open TiBU until a reboot. No clue why but I just install and then reboot then restore. As far as what to restore. I usually restore Apps Only first, then go back into Batch mode, un-select everything, choose Data Only, then select only certain items to restore data to. Has worked fine for me.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
The issue with Tibu is basically becoz only latest version supports ICS. I installed free version from market (4.6.4) and i restored both apps and data (for apps) without any issue on this rom....

I read somewhere the version before 4.6.2 doesnt support ICS framework...I can be wrong tho..
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
I've had that issue as well. I only backup user apps, and when I try to restore missing apps + data it will hang on a random app. I can kill TiBu manually and try again, but it will hang at the same app. Rebooting will usually get it to restore the problem app, but it will hang on another. Nothing specific about the problem app, it seems to be random. Sometimes it's a small app, sometimes large, sometimes the first app, sometimes the 5th.

Manually restoring (one by one under Backup/Restore) will give more success, but it will still hang on restoring some apps (but never just data). I've resorted to opening up the backup/restore menu and going into the web market and resinstalling each app then using TiBu to restore the data.

Still lost all my launcher settings (widgets, etc), sms's, call logs, system settings. I have no idea which of those are safe to restore from TiBu.

As an aside, wiping /data did bring back Google Photos sync, which I was missing previously (and the reason I went back and wiped data).
[Captivate Android Development] nbell13:
Titanium Backup has been working perfectly for me, no hangs/lags/anything..
[Captivate Android Development] gemuse:
So far, I've had zero problems. I have not tried bluetooth or wifi.

One thing I noticed, is that the "Launcher Preferences" dialog is completely blank.

Also, the camera has front camera references. Fixing that would just require some playing around with the camera apk, correct?

Looks great, buttery smooth, and high usage, I've gone 20% in 2.5 hours.

Great work, Hacksung!
[Captivate Android Development] BelvedereWRX:
This ROM is amazing, and seems to be evolving at a much faster pace than CM7.

Has anyone figured out how to get Google Music working?
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Running 4.6.4 now, but the backups were made with an earlier version (presumably 4.6.2). I will redo my backups and try again on the next CM9 build atinm puts out.

This is not cm9 (yet). Just a build from ics source that teamhacksung decided to release to satisfy our appetite for aosp awesomeness until cm9 starts rolling.

can i flash this, if i'm on MIUI with at&t bootloaders?
[Captivate Android Development] Holmes108:
It's true. It was just updated to work with Android 4.0 literally within the last week. Before that it was in the to-do list of the app description.
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
Should be no problem

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
I installed from MIUI with no problems - MIUI is based on CM7.

Has anyone seen John Connor?
[Captivate Android Development] oldskooldawgz:
Don't know if this has been mentioned or not but when I go to preferences there is nothing to edit or change. I don't know if this is a bug or just how it is.

Also this is the fastest my phone has performed to this day and has the best GPS lock. Great work keep it up.
[Captivate Android Development] skynet11:
Is there or will there be long-press to kill app?

Has anyone seen John Connor?

Could be wrong, but I don't think Launcher Preferences have made it into the build yet. Think it was asked/answered a few pages back. Will be there eventually.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I agree that face unlock is just a gimmick especially since reviewers have found that face unlock will work with a picture. This of course means it is not secure, but it would allow people to use face unlock with the rear camera as long as they carry a picture of themselves around.
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
I agree that it is gimmicky, but, so what if you can use a picture to unlock it? If I loose my phone, or it's stolen. If someone picks it up, how are they going to know who I am, let alone what I look like, and THEN, find a picture of me to copy to another device so they can get into it?
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
That option is not there but the closest in my opinion is this feature.

There is a option in the system>> developers option>> Dont keep Activities

the description says "destroy every activity as soon as the user leaves it"
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
Then you have I897 Bootloaders, now weather it is GB or Eclair/Froyo, no one knows but you...
[Captivate Android Development] poolemit:
