[Captivate Android Development] DaNaRkI:
Umm... Who here has made a ROM for this phone? Who here has done any dev work on any phone, and/or an SGS phone?

These guys have read all that info that you have and more. So unless you can answer "YES" to both, then when pawitp says something is unsupported you don't question. What's better is how people in this thread were/are jumping on folks who post glitch kernel issues here since "it is not teamhacksung's work and is not supported." Yet for these bootloaders of which are also not teamhacksung's work and one of which has become unsupported, and argument about "I use xxx and it works fine!"

The only thing I've seen Devs of this ROM say is to please be sure that the issue you post is not a byproduct of your choice to change parts of the ROM. No one is saying "you can't use it!" just that they can't help you because there is too much they don't know about it.

My take on the whole issue is this. I see more and more of the Developers for this phone say "Use I897 bootloaders." So unless you know more about bootloaders what they do and the differences between them then the Devs, don't argue. Use at your own risk.

To help those looking to change with as little hassle as possible, I ask: The difference/changes in partitions sizes, are they written/performed in a way that I can use Heimdall to pull the PIT off the phone and it would reflect these new partitions? If so this should allow people to use Heimdall to flash only the bootloaders without effecting anything else. (this is a question to the Devs only unless you know enough about PIT file to answer and explain why or why not. If you guys don't know I'll ask over in the Heimdall thread.) I'll take my answer (the explaining why it would or would not work part) as a PM unless you all feel the users would benefit by knowing it.

Build 15 Issue

Hi all one thing to report, its the 2nd time on build 15, during a 1hr phone call the phone reboots forhan no resaon.

Its not a bad flash, per my previous post, yes i do the full 3 wipes/Master Clear (no matter what some others here claim/say/gripe about). I find it better to have everything including the sd Card to be blank to ensure that the current ROM handles creating the directory structure properly. As we all know some roms call 'SD Card' emmc, ext.SD, others external_sd, and so on and so on, hence why I Master Clear. I keep my media (music, movies etc) on a home SANs.

PS, ran the GPS for 4.5 hrs today non stop from NE Pen to MD and happy to report that the gps never lost connection, while in the car I run CarHome (best app for long dist drives), Pandora and Navigation and other services (email etc) running in the background.

PPS, no a big deal but could we include CarHome in the final build?

Strange issue guys my clock in the top right hand corner has stopped, however the lock screen clock is still correct. Stock kernel, clean install (wiped user data, boot and system)
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Ok guys, strange problem here. I upgraded to build 15 right after it was released. I flashed it straight over top of build 14, as per the instructions, then flashed gapps 7.1 on top, with no reboot between. It has been running fine, until now.

Now, starting about 10 minutes ago, I keep having a message saying "Unfortunately, System UI has stopped." Then my statusbar disappears. Within a minute, my statusbar comes back, followed within another minute by the same message. And it just keeps doing it.

Now, I am looking to, number one, inform the devs of this bug, as it has not been reported yet, and two, get some advice on fixing/preventing it. Before anyone starts in on me, I followed the instructions in the op when I first came to ths ics, and have continued to follow what the devs say. I am running the kernel that shipped with the rom, and I am on gb bootloaders. Also, I have done some dev work on the cappy, and know that system apps are in general not affected by not wiping, since the /system partition is wiped by the rom installer. I am going to try a reboot, to see if that fixes the problem. After that, I will try a wipe/reflash, when I get home, although it is not listed as a necessary step between ths releases. I will post back with my results, and look forward to any fixes/suggestions!

Third charge cycle on build 15, charge death only on first night. I897 gingerbread boot loaders. Had charge deaths since 13, test kernel 2 helped.

My System UI was doing that same thing, only while in landscape mode when I cleared notifications using the X that you use to clear notifications.

Why is the Sim Toolkit as a bug if i have it and it works fine?
[Captivate Android Development] owe2003:
Just experienced 2 sleep deaths in 2 days. Both around 8am est. Never had a sleep death before yesterday. I'm currently in build 15. I came from Serenity KK4 ROM with AT&T bootloader and progressively flashed to 13, 14, then 15. Only time I wiped data and caches was to go to 13. No wipes to go to 14 and 15. I had no problems with 13 or 14, and only problem with 15 is the 8 o clock death. Curious to see if it happens again tomorrow same time. By the way I have a 1008 captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] viny2cool:
noticed that problem couple of times...even my beautiful widget clocks stops sometimes.....
[Captivate Android Development] radicaleggnog:
I had the same thing, only I wasn't able to reproduce it so I figured it was just a fluke. Mine only happened when using the X to clear the notifications, but I am reasonably sure that it also happened in portrait mode. I was running several apps at the time (IMO, YAAIC, Tasker) and also had the data warning all as permanent (not clearable) notifications. I tried various combinations once I got home from work, but as I said I was unable to reproduce the bug.
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Thanks for the feedback guys. Mine has stopped since the reboot. What's odd is I did not clear any notifications prior to it starting. In fact, I only had two notifications at the time, ebuddy and the weather channel, both on going, non-clearable notifications.
[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Is there a working code to verify simlock status?
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
One word: logcat
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
There's no code to verify locked/unlocked status, afaik, but there's probably a (root) app that'll check for you, or, you can check yourself by using a hexeditor to examine byte #0x181469 of /efs/nv_data.bin. If it's a 1 then you're network locked. (you can change it to a 0, and copy it back to unlock).

[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
Running 15, I observed an issue that's similar to reboot. I was on a call and the radio's appeared to turn off and wouldn't come back on (Bluetooth died, bars went to grey, and I couldn't make a call). When they came back the phone was acting odd, I couldn't dial back out without it dropping. I rebooted the phone and was able to continue on with the call without further interruption. Hadn't seen this happen before in other builds.

Battery life has become about 50% worse after flashing build 15
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
That is contrary to my experience which is that it is about 50% better. I am only charging every other day now unless I have a particularly heavy day. I have had to charge daily since I got the phone over 16 months ago.
[Captivate Android Development] pablo34:
I had similar experiences with miui ics so I'm guessing it's a build issue and not rom specific only way for me to fix this was to reboot

I have this same issue. I was running eclair captivate bootloaders and wondered the same thing so I flashed b-ock's heimdall KK4 with bootloaders and a complete wipe and still have the issue. However after flashing icy glitch v14 b1 or b2 I haven't had any more reboots.

EDIT: Build 11 was the last build for me with no reboots on the stock kernel.

So I'm not sure if anyone else has this problem, but I have received a notice from AT&T about use of tethering with my device, and I don't use the feature but I was wondering if the current build has changed because in the past and while running CM7 I had not received such notice while actually tethering. I'll do my homework and read up on it but as far as I have heard so far from my friend's working at AT&T he said it's more of a, "we can't prove you use the feature, but your high data usage suggest that you are." as a scare tactic. :/

Question for you samsung guys. I installed this and the CM9 custom kernel I saw farther down the dev forum. I was wondering what other tweaks you guys run with this for better performance and battery life. Im a ogevo guy, and we got unvisible tweaks and a few other tweak bundles, not sure if vipermod would work on this to lower the voltages. I would figure v6 super charger would work like it does with every other phone for the most part. Just wondering if you guys got some things just for sammy.

I found a few things, I saw the graphical tweaks, and then this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1363238

Will that work with CM9, or is it for other ICS builds?

And this script set is from the evo section, but I thought that all these scripts included were pretty universal. Am I correct? They improve everything ALOT on the EVO.

I read somewhere about a month ago that AT&T was beginning to closely monitor tethering. With all the tweaks, hacks, and workarounds that are floating around out there, AT&T feels they are not squeezing all the dollars out of their end-users as they should/could be. I would imagine if they find any significant holes in the system, they will take the necessary steps to protect their interests. Just another case of the "man" trying to keep us down....lol

This is for anybody who ran into the "Red tint" issue. I seem to be the only one who has reported this problem, but in order to fix it I used the "Gamma" settings in build 14/15 and turned the red all the way up to 20. This fixed the problem completely!

i got the anker for $15 shipped off ebay. definetly get way more battery life than the stock and for the price...no brainer. i was skeptical as ive always ventured to cheap higher mah batteries for numerous devices ive owned and most all were let downs. anker though...has broke the mold. id pay $25 to $30 for this battery it performs that well. though the rating is only 300mah more than stock ive noticed at least a 35% to 40% gain over stock. of course with same rom same usage etc etc.

Ditto with the Samsung one. That's good though. Ill keep that in mind if I ever need to get another one. Like you, I was skeptical because cheap batteries that seem to good to be true, always are.

Its is pretty much impossible to have face unlock on the captivate cause:

1. we don't have a front facing camera

2. Trying to flip the phone over and using the back camera would be too complicated and time consuming to line up, if it even supported the back camera

They are probably copying the issues log and stuff from the galaxy s (i900) post and copying it over to this post to save time
