Weird Wifi/data issues

Hey all, I have had the ICS build for about a week now or so and have experienced some kinda weird behavior regarding the wifi and 3g data in general going out when the device is asleep for a good amount of time (like over night or a few hours sitting on my desk). I have to disable then enable wifi to get it back on.

The icons are all white instead of the teal blue color

Is this normal/By design/A bug?

I believe this is BUILD 12 and now see that there is a build 13 out...
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
This is for people comong from other roms and having get prop issues. The ONLY thing removed is the get-prop check. It is the newest build #13.

It should work fine. I use the exact same method on my sgs2 when trying out the i9100 roms. To get back to cm7 i have I have the same exact changes made and it flashes without the get-prop errors. If I need to I can flash some i9000 based rom on my cappy to verify. I just know it works for my sgs2 with ACTUAL i9100 CM9 ICS roms( not a hellraised i9100 rom). I know i have done the same on my cappy in the past but it is mostly a phone to mess around with now. I will test it out later tonight and flash a i9000 based rom and then flash back to cm7 with it and try it out.

What is a i9000 based rom I should try out temporarily? Let me know so I can download it.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] RockRatt:
EDIT: The first rom I knew of that makes the phone recognize as a i9000 is the other ICS ROM( ICSSGS) so I flashed it and it knstalled okay. Then I exited out into recovery,wiped data/factory reset, then tried to install the NORMAL download of TeamHacksung ICS and got the get prop error( seen in picture). I went back a menu and again wiped data/factory reset, flashed the version of TeamHacksung I posted above and it installed with NO get prop errors.

Sorry for the crappy quick pics, my coworker was driving crazy. Took from one phone that wouldnt focus with his driving.

This is my first time flashing a none samsung rom. Its working great and I have only one issue that i know of. Battery life could be better. moderate use im at 24% after 12hrs.

This is the way I flashed.. i9000 bootloaders, TalonDEV-0.1.6. kernel then teamhacksung ics rom.

I flashed the talon kernel to get clockworkmod recovery. Could a different kernel give me better battery life? If so, what is one that i should try and how to go about flashing from here?

or does flashing ics after the talon kernel overwrite it except for the clockworkmod recovery?

Dock Sound

I'm on build 13. I use car dock. I wonder if there are any "Dock Settings" somewhere that would allow me to choose to route call audio through the dock. As it is, when I receive a call, the music through the dock is stopped, but the call audio is routed to the phone's speaker and it is really hard to hear.

So am i just missing the setting, or is there another option to resolve this problem?

Thanks.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] WindRunnerXC:
As much as I've enjoyed this ROM, after 3 days on it I have to flash back down to a 2.3. Although it was 95% perfect, a few problems have destroyed my faith in my phone's reliability with this ROM:

1. Charging: phone will turn off when it reaches 100% or when it is left alone for >30 minutes, every time - if I had used my phone for an alarm since installing Build 13, i'd be 0/3 on wake-up calls. Have not been able to charge my phone with babysitting it each of the last 3 nights(/mornings, since it doesn't charge after turning itself off, despite being plugged in). While my phone has always had problems with random shutdowns, it has NEVER turned off while charging - that had always been my one safety catch.

2. Bluetooth connection: I use the phone as my media player in my car (w/Ford Sync) every time I drive it. And while the vast majority of the time it works great, the first 2-3 minutes after the bluetooth connection is created, the music stream skips (perhaps buffers?) ~2-5 seconds until it settles out. This happens every time I start the car. Long trips, that's fine, but annoying if most of your journeys are in the 10-15 minute range. This is not an issue my phone has had before.

3. Battery use: It's great on this ROM! Except for when it goes crazy...twice in the last three days, my phone, while not being used and otherwise safely hidden in my pocket, has gone on binges of using ~6-8%/10 minutes for extended periods of time. Recently I've recalibrated, hoping to reduce such usage, so we'll see how that goes.

I can make due with #2 if my charging and battery life remain predictable, consistent, and reliable. Searches only seem to find my some isolated issues along similar lines, and mostly with previous builds. Suggestions for possible remedies to any and/or all of the above are welcome, as I'd really rather not give this up unless I have to.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] lpfansether:
I wish I had a solution for you regarding the charge deaths and hopefully someone does. All I can suggest it's a clean install over again. I have only experienced one random phone reboot (into recovery) when my phone was just sitting on my desk. Otherwise I use this room as my daily driver and everything I need functions properly. I am in stock everything (no glitch kernel) and have done a factory reset with each new build. 13 is fantastic for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] jonnyg1097:
I just flashed this rom and the initial reboot time seems to be longer than expected, like almost 3-4 mins in length. Is this normal? Or is it longer than its suppose to be?

Not at all, I tried going back into recovery mode and flashing it again and then restarting and no luck.

Flash the ROM twice, then flash the gapps without booting. If you have calendar sync issues go back in and flash the fix

Question Sleep of Death

I have been running ICS port from Teamhacksung since beta three and have had no issues with it at all, guess I am one of the lucky ones. When flashed b13 all was great and then I got Sleep of Death the next morning. I flashed Glitch Kernel and all was solved. But Glitch is Glitchy. LOL. Well I am on b14 now testing it and this morning was Sleep Of Death. I dont want to flash Glitch because the stock Kernal is pretty sweet. Does anybody have an Idea why it is doing this and if there is a cure? This only takes place when plugged into a A/C adapter not to my PC.

Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
The charge death problem could be due to a hot battery. Is the phone warm/hot to the touch when it first dies? The wall charger charges the phone faster by supplying a higher voltage. This can cause the battery to get hotter than charging at a lower voltage. The battery in our Captivates is designed to stop charging if it gets too warm. Based on recent evidence, it appears that at least on the teamhacksung ICS ROM, it may also be causing the phone to "die." The battery shut down feature is to protect the phone and you from the battery starting a fire (such as has happened with some iPhone's recently).

If your battery is overheating, there are two potential causes. The first is that your charger/cable may have issues and need to be replaced. I have read of at least one person solving the charge death problem by replacing their charger. The other cause could be the battery itself. As the battery ages, it becomes less efficient and it is possible that it is getting hotter when charging now than it did when it was new. If this is the case, a new battery could solve the problem.

edit: To clarify, you mention that your problem only happens when charging on the A/C charger. This means you have a charge death, not a sleep death. People who have sleep death have their phone die when not using it (and not charging it). Sleep death is a completely different problem that is frequently fixed by changing the lowest clock setting to a higher speed (200 - 400 Mhz) or increasing the minimum voltage at the lowest clock speeds.

The sleep death is a recognized problem by AT&T and Samsung which caused them to replace phones that have the issue in Nov/Dec 2010. A update was released around that time that provided a software "fix" for the sleep death. It is theorized that the software fix was an increase in speed or voltage (or both) to prevent sleep death.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] MentalDragon:
Thanks for that. I'll look into trading chargers then battery. After that I'll put my laptop in bedroom to charge it. I use my phone for an alarm clock. I usually wake up before it goes off but it is a safety net I can't do without. Hopefully one of these options will fix my problem.

The stock kernel is not supporting OC at this time. The dev's are looking to make a solid ROM first, THEN mess with the candy.

Why is it that fixes for Facebook contact sync have been figured out (albeit by different ROM developers) for the Vibrant, but not for the Captivate? Aren't the two phones nearly identical?

As a quick update on my post from two days ago, I tried re-flashing the Build 13 version yesterday morning (double flash), and while battery performance was just as good, charge death still occurred this morning. Problems with bluetooth still remain as well. Would give Build 14 a shot, but it doesn't look like much is in the change log to address any of these issues.

Good thing I use my Xoom as an alarm clock and not my phone any more...

Yes. I have experienced this on the stock kernel since build 12 but it only happens if the screen is off during a call. I have tried to set a in call CPU profile in SetCPU to set the min clock to 400 and it hasn't made a difference. I did however boot into cwm recovery and fix permissions after having it on build 14 and I haven't seen it again yet. Will post back if it does.

DNIe is a dynamic contrast technology that Samsung has been putting in their LCD TV's for years now. I never realized there was a mobile version on their cell phones. Do you know if this is something new that was released on the SGS II (or other phone) and backported? I don't remember ever seeing any DNIe settings on any stock Captivate ROMs.

edit: Nevermind, it appears that on mobile devices, the mDNIe profiles are "dynamic, standard, and movie" which are settings I have seen before (at least on my GT 8.9). I guess I never made the connection between those settings and DNIe, even though my TV with DNIe has settings with the same names.

I received my i896 from Rogers back in Dec 2010 and was having exactly this problem. Rogers support was not helpful. I searched and asked around, but I couldn't find any solution to it. This post is the first fix I've heard.

Is this fix already implemented in CM7? After upgrading to that my problem changed from sleep death to something slightly different. Instead of powering itself off during sleep, the screen simply wouldn't turn on. I could still reboot via ADB which was better, but obviously not great.

Last week, I upgraded to ICSSGS 2.11 (and now 3.1 today) and haven't seen this issue at all yet. That's not to say it won't happen, as it's pretty random.

I wonder if Rogers would now be aware of the issue and be willing to issue a replacement?

Media is draining battery

Hi, I have searched around the past few days and I couldnt find a clear answer for my problem. I am experiencing some major battery drain with build 14. I am losing at least 10 - 20 percent per hour. In the battery section it says the media process is running almost 100 percent of the time since i turned on the phone. What I have done to try to remedy the problem:

1. Flash odin one click kj3 with bl.

2. Typed *2767*3588# to clear everything.

3. I have formatted my external sd card and only put back on about 200 songs and 100 pictures

4.I redid odin one click kj3 again after wiping both internal and external.

5. I havent flashed any modems or kernals.

6.I havent even restored my apps from titanium backup.

7.All i have done is restore my google account.

After all this I am unfortunately still getting media process running all the time. Any suggestions or tips? Will media eventually stop running so much(its been about 2 hours and its still going full speed eating my battery)? Thanks in advance!

Edit:: possibly the reason that my media process was running all the time was that i had about 8000 thumbnails in my dcim folder, and that folder survived my format because of leftover photos that i wanted that i took at christmas.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bentonhall:
Fixing the permissions didn't make any difference. Just curious, what bootloaders are you using?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nkrick:
Fortunately, my phone has never been sleep death prone, so I have never had to deal with it. My knowledge comes from reading many posts about the issue, including a thread about the issue and the fact that AT&T would replace affected phone back in Nov 2010.

The issue is likely due to differing yields on the hummingbird CPU cores. Some people are lucky and have a good CPU, others seem to have a CPU that doesn't like low speed and/or low voltage. The fix that seems to help most people is to set the minimum CPU speed to 200 Mhz. I have read that some people have to use 400 Mhz, and I have also read 1 person who posted that he/she was able to increase the voltage at the low speeds (100 Mhz & 200 Mhz) to prevent sleep death. Since each CPU is slightly different, the best thing to do is use an app like Voltage Control to try different speed and voltage settings to see if you can find a stable configuration.

should take about 2-3 minutes..let it boot to see everything is ok

2.download the ICS rom, Download the GApps zip file (latest) Put both .zip in your sd card

3. boot into CWM (pushing vol up + vol down + power)

4.navigate to "intall zip from sd card"

5.If its your first time flashing ICS your phone will reboot.. its ok just boot it back up to recovery

6.youll have the blue CWM recovery

7. install ICS rom once again (dont forget to wipe everything before doing so)... it should fully go thru this time..

8.wipe again and flash GApps

I had previously on one of the other earlier cm9's placed the fixed calendar and another .apk manually. So that is probably why i had two sets of them and my sync wouldnt work. If you had placed the fixed .apk in the past it may be the same issue/cause.
