I'm having an issue with viewing received MMS messages. The message is displayed like this:

" <Subject: IMG00165-20120312-1415.jpg> "

The numbers are highlighted to click, but when I do it brings me to the dialer and not the image.

Any help would be great.

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] billyjed:
Can you access recovery? Does your recovery see the sd card?
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
Hmm, I haven't tried using the stock mms app. On handcent sms, everything works fine. When I receive an mms, it will show a button to download the attachment, if I check the message before the auto download kicks in. If the attachment is already downloaded, it shows a thumbnail of the image.

I do know however, that the phone will make any string of numbers into a link that inputs them in the dialer. It even does this in the browser, as well as in opera mobile browser.
[Captivate Android Development] radicaleggnog:
Sounds like maybe your auto-retrieve is turned off. Go in to the settings for your SMS app, and make sure it is turned on. This allows the photos to downloaded without your having to click on them.

As someone else said, the numbers typically go to the dialer. IN the stock SMS app there is usually a download button, on the right for me, that will download the image.

If that isn't there then maybe it's just an SMS with a confusing subject. I'd try getting someone to send you a known MMS and see how your phone reacts to that.
[Captivate Android Development] neo_31591:
Yes. . I can access the recovery. .And in the recovery i can see the whole file system. .

Also. .In settings, storage, when i click on "mount sd", it mounts for 1 sec,nd thn again unmounts. .

What to do :(

Used every version of CM9 till now. Battery drain is incredibly heavy with Build 17. Battery life is down from 26hr on Build 16 to about 12hr on Build 17.

Any suggestions??
[Captivate Android Development] andoceo:
I just found that Settings > System > Notification Drawer > Widget buttons > Toggle 2g 3g is not working properly.

Sometimes it changes from 3g to 2g but mostly is not working. Can anyone else confirm this? This is a great option, allows you to change from Hsdpa which eats a lot juice from battery to a less consuming 2g (when you don't need a high speed, on mail, etc) just with a click.

Bulid17 is draining Battery out...

Hi since I upgraded Build17 the battery is draining out. I did the total new build. Erased all data, cache etc etc and installed build17, but still the battery is draining in couple of hours. If anybody facing the same please post reply..
[Captivate Android Development] xtracrispy69:
Battery drain is heavier in 17. I just accept until another build comes. I charge each night anyways
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
Did you just flash build 17 recently? You may need to give it a few recharge cycles to get better battery life. Also I find that after you flash the new rom and let if fully boot and load everything (give it 5 to 10 minutes) then reboot again to get everything loaded.

I loaded build 17 on Thursday and battery life was ok but not like on 16. But I just had 40+ hours from Sunday morning til Monday afternoon with 35% remaining between changing.
[Captivate Android Development] wash23:
Battery has not been worse for me on 17 coming from 16. If anything it is better. But, I did change display brightness setting to automatic when I went to 17. Overall smooth sailing on this build for me.

I went back to stock and I forgot to root it (you need to do this in order to have root) but I remembered I could just push the root files through adb
[Captivate Android Development] RootTheMachine:
There is no reason to root your stock ROM before this unless you are using TiBu.

This thread is really getting out of hand with questions and complaints. That is why there is a dedicated Q&A thread

This could be a great feature if it will be fixed. Until that it can be used as shortcut, if you keep it pressed, you may switch 2g / 3g from settings

Just an update so that you won't be refreshing the page all the times: Don't expect anything before next month.

Note: This is not an ETA, it does not mean that there will be something released next month, but it rather means that there probably won't be anything released this month (due to real life).
[Captivate Android Development] TheQat:
Decided to take the plunge and tried to install this today.

Coming from Apex 12.4 (GB) so was following the "- First time flashing ICS to your Captivate (or coming from another ROM)?" instructions.

Got to Step 5 "Install the ROM from internal sdcard using ClockworkMod Recovery".

The ROM started installing. After a few seconds (and only a few ticks of the progress bar) phone rebooted and has been stuck at the Bootloader screen for 20 minutes now.

About to try and crack it back into CWM or Download mode to get something working back.

Thats normal, it happened to me coming from continuum back on b13. Simply pull battery, put it back in, and then hold vol up + vol down + power to get back to recovery, then flash again.
[Captivate Android Development] neo_31591:
I did the same thing. I came from SAUROM, flashed Build 17 twice, and after "SUCCESSFULL" message, it boots up but without any cell coverage network and it doesnt even recogonise Internal storage. It shows only 1.8Gb memory and not the internal files.

I CAN boot into recovery, and in that when i choose FLASH ZIP FROM SD CARD, i can see EVERYTHING!!! all my files,folders etc are there.... ive flashed the same ROM like 10 times now, same problem.

Also, i tried ODIN 1 click , but my phone doesnt get recogonised in Download Mode.

so im stuck with the this ROM without any cell coverage, without any memory, nothing.

WHAT TO DO..please help me out!!!
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
Since the ROM still boots you could try flashing another modem to at least get cell coverage back. If USB doesn't work after booting up try mounting it from recovery (mounts and storage menu) to copy the modem over to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] bmvik:
There are several ways to get phone recognized in ODIN. The one that works best for me is Start ODIN. With phone OFF- Hold vol up , vol down or both together.... (that depends on your phone) and plug in USB into the phone.

I'd like to ask if Calendar works for you in build 17 because for me doesn't work.

[Captivate Android Development] gilpdawg:
Just to clarify, that's next month (or later) for the next alpha build? Or do you mean an actual release? Not that it matters, the alphas are good enough anyway.

USB on the go is functionable in this rom?

Quick question, I switched from build 16 to 17 and installed the icy glitch kernel like I did with 16. However, now with build 17, bln is broken. Anyone else experiencing this? Any fixes? Sorry if this was already mentioned.
[Captivate Android Development] elwilson4:
BLN is kernel related. That is a known issue with Glitch B5. BLN worked with B4. So you can always downgrade.
[Captivate Android Development] goob1284:
ALright, thats what i figured. Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] rohitpsk:
yes

it is working and syncing well with google calender

USB OTG

USB OTG isn't supported on the captivate, even with ICS, afaik. I tested it a while ago with a $1 usbotg cable and a 16GB usbkey, and got no response from the GUI or from logcat.

Not sure if it's h/w or s/w limitation, but I assume it's h/w.

It's your datadata capacity, which is much smaller. I experience this with Chrome frequently. I tried moving it to SD, which stopped the notification, but it made Chrome even more sluggish, despite my microSD being a 16	GB class 10.

B17 Battery Life

I'd like to echo what some others have said about battery life being poorer in B17 than previous builds. I've been on THS ICS since build 1, having flashed a majority of the builds.

I flashed B17 over B15 (B16 didn't seem like enough was changed to warrant a flash). I immediately noticed a drop in battery life. As was mentioned above, I attributed it to the recent flash. I calibrated the battery and let it run through several charge cycles with no improvement of battery life--I lost 6-7% per hour with my minimal use during work.

Yesterday I flashed back to B15. As it has sat on my desk, the phone has returned to using 2-3% per hour with the same minimal use.

I know that the build 17 life would probably get me through the day, but I feel that the overall performance of B15 was not sufficiently less to warrant the loss of security that my phone would not die before I got to my charger at home...
[Captivate Android Development] logocreator:
Battery life

I have a different experience. With B17, I am getting more from the battery. With moderate use, it lasts more than a day. After using 1day and 11 hours, it was still at 19% when I plugged in to charge last night. This is way better that what I had experienced.
[Captivate Android Development] nyciz:
Hmm
[Captivate Android Development] aksma:
you might be kidding, i have seen only you saying that in this whole post after the build17. There are lot of complaints about battery draining in B17 including me :(. You might be lucky....
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
It does work on both the Captivate and on ICS. It just has to be implemented in the kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] logocreator:
Okay, don't blame you. Couldn't believe it myself. So took this screenshot -:)
[Captivate Android Development] Jesterdtm:
I havehad terrible batt drain since b16. Believe it due to exchange service pulling 1 GB per week, push notifications. Will drain a full batt in two hours. Took my exchange off push, turn off mobile data and wifi, phone will go for days.

Burning hot on mobile data, 17 is better than 16 tho.

Tried several diff modems

Hello, can anybody tell me why my GPRS USB modem is getting disconnected after I connect my phone to PC? just for charging? thank you
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
here's my screenshot from a few minutes ago:

I've been getting at least 30 hours per charge since Saturday. I installed build 17 last Thursday and battery discharge was a little high on Thursday & Friday, but after a few recharge cycles and reboots (to make sure app uninstalls cleared their data and presence) I started to get the same battery life as I had on Build 16.
[Captivate Android Development] MrSwiss876:
how the heck do you ppl get such good battery life? ....if i get 6 hours of good use ...then thats a miracle lol
[Captivate Android Development] ThreeofNine:
I have Google+, Twitter, Facebook, Messaging, & Gmail all active, Weatherbug updating every 15 minutes, other email I manually refresh, wifi is always on, I stream internet radio for 1-2 hiours a day, and brightness is around 50%. I do not play games on the phone. I don't have Chrome beta installed. GPS is off. The battery is not the original Samsung, it is a Seidio 1600 mah and per Seidio instructions, I charge it an extra 2-3 hours at least after it is fully charged. I've also heard that the new Anker 1800mah batteries last a long time too and they aren't expensive. Or you can go to one of the various 3000 to 3800 mah extended batteries out there.
[Captivate Android Development] nkrick:
I actually had HUGE battery problems on build 16 after doing a factory reset from CWM (I had to do a reset to get gapps working after flashing the "official" goo-inside.me build). My battery was draining especially badly when I was out of wifi range. I tried another factory reset without any change, so then I did a factory reset AND immediately reflashed build 16 & gapps. Battery life returned to normal (I normally have 50%-60% left after 16 hours of moderate use).

When I flashed build 17, I also flashed the newest goo-inside.me gapps at the same time and my battery has been exactly the same as build 16 (after getting it fixed).

For anyone with excessive battery drain on build 17, try going to CWM Recovery, do a factory reset, then reflash build 17 and reflash gapps, then restart and see how things go. Initially you are likely to have high drain as all your apps are downloaded and re-installed. I also only use TiBU to restore app data, never apps as I have seen various problems with TiBU restored apps (including /datadata storage space problems).

edit: correction, I do restore QuickOffice with TiBU since it is a free "paid" version from AT&T ;-)
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
And any clue why such functionality would be missing from CM9's kernel?
[Captivate Android Development] angryscientist:
Because its alpha?

[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
This ROM is really only alpha in name only. (was looking for a good reason)
[Captivate Android Development] pawitp:
Because last I've checked, it's not stable yet (under development by sztupy) and you require a special Y-cable and an external power supply to use it.
[Captivate Android Development] OwenW71:

[Captivate Android Development] iphone=closedsystem:
I'm not sure if its just me, but AOKP build 26/27 is amazing for what comes with it, but it is a fairly heavier batt. drainer from exp. I'll be switching back to this ROM build 17 to compare. Love both of them tho.
[Captivate Android Development] zmore:
Mmm. I figured usbotg was something that would easily "just work" coming from the upstream aosp code. And the external power supply is only supposed to be necessary for power-hungry devices like spinning HDDs; not usbflash.
[Captivate Android Development] sixstringsg:
The ROM side "just works" yes. But the kernel side stuff has nothing to do with AOSP, therefore has to be worked on. I do not know why the THS kernel doesn't have it, but I'm sure they have a reason. Most of the custom kernels do.

I'm on version 17, and I have everything stock, no changes at all.

My phone was plugged in to the wall, and when I woke up, it was dead. I had to pull the battery in order for it to turn on. When it finally turned on, the battery was at 100%.

I've also had several reboots since I flashed 17 :(

[EDIT] or could someone tell me how to extract it from the cm9 zip and create my own?
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Here is a cm9 kernel #17 with a kernel cleaner. http://db.tt/m2U2vc4R

So next time just extract the cm9 update zip, go to the extracted folder and copy the boot.img file, then extract the kernel reverter/cleaner file, now past the cm9 boot image into the kernel reverter package overwriting the boot.img file inside, then zip the file back up, move the kernel reverter to your sdcard, go to cwm and flash the kernel cleaner.zip

I have been trying to configure my phone for internet calling using the native capabilities. It seems that I have succeeded as long as I enable the "Receive incoming calls" option. Of course that drains the battery.

However, when my wife streams music from her iphone to the same stereo, it shows album/artist/track info.

How are you guys doing in terms of battery life? I was using build 17 without a custom kernel and the battery life was horrible imo (perhaps because I didn't bother going through 5 charge cycles), so then I glashed glitch and underclocked to 800mhz, but I'm STILL experiencing bad battery life. Would wiping and reinstalling the ROM fix this?

And is there a fix for the spazzing search button? My search button activates itself sporadically and it's somewhat annoying.

But hey, I can't complain. This rom is in its alpha stages and it's mighty-awesome :D

Are there any ad blocking scripts available for cm9? After reading that article, I think that I really should get one :p
[Captivate Android Development] theyurtingyeti:
I don't know about scripts, but I use the AdFree app and it works pretty well.

And I hear that CM7 had permissions control for apps, so the hope is CM9 will eventually have this as well. With luck, that will control some rogue processes :)
[Captivate Android Development] shane87:
If you have a cwm zip for an ad-free rom, simply unzip it, look in /system/etc for a file named "hosts" and copy it out. Using root explorer or similar, mount /system as rw, navigate to /system/etc, rename your existing hosts file to hosts.old and copy in the hosts file you extracted from the ad-free rom. Then you can go to the market and grab ad-free android (simply search for it) to keep your hosts file up-to-date with the latest ad-blocking list.

Oh, and dont forget to mount system as ro when you are done!

[EDIT]You will want to keep a copy of the ad-free hosts file on your sdcard as well, since any time you flash a new version of cm9 you will need to copy it back in.[/EDIT]
