If your phone is build 10.12 or lower, use Odin1Click to go back to stock JF6, then Master Clear(M/C erases absolutely everything, so back up)

Make sure you can get into recovery mode, copy this, the ROM, gaaps 7.1 and the gaaps fixer to your SD, reboot into recovery, install the update.zip downloaded, go thru it twice, then install the ROM, and gaaps

(In a nutshell)

Nobody wants to show off here. Just trying to report user feedback on battery life. I believe it's valuable info to find in a thread about a new ROM. Just my opinion so take a chill pill.
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
ok thanks for the info! from start to finish i was stock 2.2 when i picked up this device, rooted and flashed cm7 then flashed build 10 i believe...i eventually upgraded from build 10 to build 13 which i am on now.

i will do what you said tho thnx! master clear is in odin right?
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
If your phone came with 2.2 don't use the 2.1 one click, use AdamOutler's KB2 2.2 Heimdall one click
[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
yes it is:)
[Captivate Android Development] ptesmoke:
ok wont be able to get at it tonight hopefully some time this week. out of curiousity tho what does goin

back to stock and starting over actually accomplish? i understand its reccomended if you see issues as ive read it elsewhere in the forums here as well. just wondering how it actually helps?

thnx again i hit the button!

Keep your opinion to yourself, he wanted to share battery life, there is no rule not to share that. Stop trying to boss around ppl.

You must be clueless about ics issues, the most starred google code bug for ics is battery life.

"Basically" what it does is, removes EVERYTHING and leaves the phone as close to the way it came from the mfg(AT&T/Rogers) as we can get.

Just double check your build number, make sure it's 10.12 or lower. Odin1 Click doesnt play well with higher builds
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
I will express my opinion freely! Ask they devs what they want

Just trying to keep him from having 3 button combos, but whatever.

ok so i will have time tonight :)

right now im doing a nandroid of build 13, i have JF6 oneclick ready to go, but i downloaded the one without the bootloaders, is that ok?

then hopefully after flashing that, then a master clear, i should be able to three button combo into recovery? and flash update.zip?? then ill have cwm recovery and flash build 14 correct?

[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
Do you know if anyone has developed a method to flash GB bootloaders without doing an ODIN to stock? I have read there are issues doing the bootloader flash with AOSP installed due to partitioning layout, but it seems like a package should be able to be created from a device that currently has KK4 bootloaders and an AOSP ROM installed, but I don't know anything about creating ODIN packages.

I have been running custom ROMs on my Captivate for over a year and have never performed an ODIN to stock, and I'd rather not unless it is absolutely the only way it will ever be possible to flash GB bootloaders.

---------- Post added at 08:42 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:40 AM ----------

I think that is the best testament to the performance of the stock ICS kernel that I have read.

shaolin, I can't believe you aren't overclocking until smoke is coming out of your phone...this changes everything I thought I knew about the Captivate... :eek: ;)

Adobe Flah Player 11.1 video playback stutters

I am having problems viewing flash video, stutters and freezes every few seconds of playback. May also be dropped frames as the video just seems to move really slow and skips frames. I am running Build 14 and Flash player 11.1.112.61 (the one just released this week to fix the ICS green screen issue).

I have this problem on any site with flash video and using stock, Dolphin HD min, or Dolphin HD browsers.

I tried Checking and unchecking Force GPU rendering in Developer options but experienced no change.

Videos stored on the phone (mp4 etc...) play smooth

History:

I used to have this exact problem on Gingerbread non CM7 roms as well.

CM7 last nightly: Smooth playback, no issues

Any Gingerbread ROM prior to KK4: Stuttering issues

Illuminance 3.0 (KK4): Smooth playback, not sure what fixed it for non CM7 roms

Searched high and low and it seems not many others are experiencing this issue.

Any thoughts? Thanks for any help, this is the only issue I am having with this fantastic rom!

Then why am I and 1/2 the people here getting better battery then gingerbread. that doesnt make much sense.

I used that right after it came out and it worked great.
[Captivate Android Development] Darryl Henley:
I made the switch to ICS when build 14 was first released. ICS is very nice. GPS is working great. I really like the DSPManager. Internet browser scrolling is smooth as butter.

The only problems I have found so far are the battery usage and the media storage file duplication.

When I first got everything setup, battery usage was terrible. I disabled account auto sync and it is much better. Is there a way to schedule when auto sync is enabled?

I think I found a work around for the media problem - before rebooting, disable the media storage app - after reboot, enable it.

TV Out With a working cable....

Hi All:

ICS Build 14 is a pretty good rom overall with just being stock. This is my first ICS rom that Ive loaded, and GPS works (indoors with no messing around with...WOW....my jaw dropped)

The issue I'm curious if anyone else has had, I have a 3.5mm cable to Red/White/Yellow RCA. This cable has worked with no problems on many GB roms.

but on ICS, once the cable is plugged to the phone & tv, I can enable tv out (thru Settings>>>Device OPtions>>>TVOUT) and play Angry Birds (orany game/app) on the tv, but when I launch NetFlix, I get 5-10 secs of audio and no video on the phone or tv. If i tap the screen on the phone, I see the netflix progression bar and I can grab it and adjust but I just see Buffering... no video ever plays?

Thanks and I'll continue browse this post.

****Edit****

I see in "Build 13 TV out Black Video", I wondering if that has crept back into Build 14.

---------- Post added at 12:39 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:12 PM ----------

Same here, I got a verified TV Out cable that worked fine on GingerBread roms, and I can get just about everything on ICS Build 14 execept Netflix. Looking for help....

[Captivate Android Development] Geoff-dev:
Reboot on Build 14

Had a weird reboot.

1) Tried Four Square and it wouldn't update my location.

2) Exit Four Square and loaded Google Maps

3) Found my location on GPS and used Places to check-in

4) Brought up 4SQR and still could not update my location via GPS

5) Closed 4SQR and uninstalled

6) Opened Market and tried to reinstall 4SQR

7) Phone rebooted when downloading.

My guess is some thread was messing with GPS that was hung when I uninstalled. I'll look through logs and see if I can gleen anymore information.

Edited: 2011-01-21

Foursquare updated yesterday and I tried it around town last night. No issues with GPS. Clearly it was an app issue rather then Build 14

O.k. has anyone played around with different Kernels? currently running build 14 and would love to overclock. don't know if GB kernels will work.
[Captivate Android Development] littlewierdo:
Just thought I might throw my two cents in regarding battery life:

It really is sort of irrelevant.

Personally, my battery life is equal to CM7. I have only 10 apps installed on my phone using ICS BLD 13 (just flashed 14 so I will see about that tonight), the exact same apps I had on CM7, all apps (including a select number of system apps) hard set using autostarts not to run in the background.

But it really is dependent on what you have installed. If anything was different between your GB install vs your ICS install, it skews the results.

Also, your battery hardware is going to be different from phone to phone which skews the results (yes, each batteries condition - how many times it has been charged, how new/old it is, etc) affects this as well.

Then we have Samsung's poor QC (Quality Control). My gps is different than your gps. This is why there are over 80 different builds of the Captivate. Each is going to pull more or less power.

And the last being usage. Usage is going to be slightly different each day (the amount you have the screen on, what you are doing, etc.).

So my point in saying all of this is, yes, its impressive if you are getting better battery life but I dont think it really helps anyone except to say generally that ICS is doing better for you than GB did.

In my case however, it is identical to GB but again, my phone was nearly stock GB and now nearly stock ICS and the only thing I do is stream either pre-downloaded podcasts from BeyondPod to a bluetooth fm transmitter, stream audiobooks using audible using the same method, or make a few short phone calls.

Which brings me to my problem I mentioned before...

I have found the reason audible has issues, its raw processor power. ICS is way too processor heavy for audible to even be able to process the drm and playback the audio. The audio is somewhat choppy without using any special EQ stuff. As soon as I throw DSP Manager (which I am not a big fan of, I just need a simple volume boost and DSP doesnt offer that without having to fiddle with the EQ) or Volume+ (this is really what I use, it has a simple +1-+15db selector), it becomes so choppy that I cant listen to anything.

FYI, GB audible worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
You're welcome for the video player app info, but I can'tt help you on the launcher and kernal question. I load the stock builds and leave it at that until it's final. That way I'll know if a problem is from the new build or a new app or an app update. Once CM9 is posted, then I might try another kernal, but the way CM 7.1 worked for me and the way this rom is working I don't think I'll need or want to change it. But that's me. I started with build 12 after reading that I'd say 95-98% of the 'problems' were solved, and I'm here to stay to CM9.

[Captivate Android Development] RaptorOne3:
Remember, each build is released with a kernel that is linked to that build, specifically.

Using an alternate kernel can result in unwanted and unpredictable affects, especially if the kernel was compiled for a previous build... Note that the issues that come about afterwards are issues that should be directed towards the kernels developer and not THS ICS devs.

Make sure that the kernel you decide to flash to your device has been updated by the kernels developer for latest THS ICS build... If it is not clear what build and device the kernel is for, avoid flashing it until it is clarified.

For instance, if you are running THS ICS Build 14 and flash the Glitch V14 Pre 5, you might have some unwanted affects as the Glitch V14 Pre 5 was compiled for Build 13 at the time.

Also be aware of which device the kernel is intended for. If it doesn't specifically state it's for SGH-i897 Captivate THS ICS Build 14, then avoid flashing it at all costs due to the many possible errors associated with doing so. Don't flash an i9000 kernel thinking it will be ok. They are NOT compatible with the i897 Captivate.

Just an FYI because Glitch has not been updated in a while as far as I know...

PS - If you're having issues that no one else seems to be having, try clearing Dalvik Cache and Cache, then simply reflash over the current image. If the issue/s persist, then try a factory reset/data wipe. If that doesn't work, flash back to stock GB or even Eclair and then flash the ROM image again. If the issue is still there after all that, then perhaps you had a bad download? Try re-downloading the ROMs zip file and flash it again.

KK4 is a i897 modem which means is needs an audience enabled kernel for noise cancellation. If the kernel doesn't support audience (none of the teamhacksung kernels support audience) and you try to use a i897 or i896 modem, then sound quality on the other end (the person you are talking to) will be very bad.

Dups in Gallery and single ring of ringtones

Is there any known fix for these? These are really the only issues I have with the Build 12 version.

To clarify if necessary, I see duplicate file listings for files on the SD card. I know this is in known issues, but wondering if there is any workaround. Same with my ring tones only play once, rather than repeating till I answer the phone.

Thank in advance.
