Battery problems?

Installed DK5 two days ago and my battery icon is behaving funky. It can stay at a % for a period of time and even shows this also in the battery app (main one through settings), but sometimes they are inconsistent. The battery status bar this morning was at 100% for 3 hours and the app had it at 93% after 3 hours.

Before this morning, I plugged it in at 7am and woke at 9am. The phone was turned off to start with so when i turned it on, I expected to see it at some percentage. It didn't even register at zero or say it was charging. It wouldn't turn on, even plugged in. I tried charging from a laptop instead of the wall charger and different cables and blowing out the USB port of dust. Nothing.

I pulled the battery and held the power button for 5-10 seconds and then put the battery back in. After a few more tries, it finally turned on and booted. On boot, battery was at 100%. ?!?!?!

I've never had any of these problems with GB or DK4 so this is a bit odd to me. Any thoughts?

My ICS audio issue finally fixed on i897!

When I first tried to go from GB to ICS, my phone speaker stopped working. I could hear sounds & phone calls thru the headphone jack or on bluetooth, but the phone wouldn't play ringtones, music, notifications or any other sound through my i897 speakers. I tried reloading a dozen things a dozen times.

In short, this finally worked for me, YMMV:

1) With phone in download mode, load GB 2.3.5 KK4 via running "i897uckk4 Odin One Click CONTAINS Bootloaders, Re-partition, Full Wipe.exe" which is found on XDA here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

2) Use ODIN to load "CornKernel_UCKK4_v706.tar" which will give you root and CWM. Find it here: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=18370912&postcount=3

3) Copy "Dark_Knight_v5.5_I897.zip" to your phone's sdcard.

4) Reboot into CWM recovery, and flash "Dark_Knight_v5.5_I897.zip"

5) Reboot and all MIGHT be well.

How do I add an exchange email account in Dark Knight?

The only option available is to add a gmail account.

I need to add an exchange email account.

Anyone have a clue where this option might be hidden?
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cmarslett:
It isn't obvious but if you want to add an exchange email account, go to Settings/Accounts & Sync. Select Add Account, and put in your exchange server info.

After a little while the exchange email account will show up in you Email app. At least it did for me.

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] carterjp:
So....yeah, tried that. When you go to "add account", it gives you two options: 1) Existing, 2) New.

I tried both options and these are both gmail account setup options.

Anyone know why the "exchange" option isn't in there? Would love to use this ICS ROM, but need exchange email....

[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
Well it took some doing, but I finally got DK5.5 set up and running. I'm a stubborn noob, so kies to GB, super one click, new kernel, attempted CM9, soft bricking, stock rom, Fugu, CM9 twice, and a 4 hours past my usual bed time, was not enough to keep me from finishing tonight. I think I may have caught the flashing bug :D but it's looking GOOD now!

Thanks for all your hard work b-eock. I'll play around with the rom (my first). If I find anything useful to share, I'll post again here, or in the development thread (once I've past 10 posts / if development related).

Just wanted to say thanks again for making my phone look freaking awesome. Now I have to get to bed so I can 3 hours sleep before work doh

Exchange account add

I am running an Exchange account with no problems. In the email app, choose Settings, then Add Account at the top. Enter your Exchange email address and password, and the app will allow you to set up the server information. Works like a champ for me! FWIW, my email app currently has accounts from msn.com, Gmail, Yahoo and an Exchange server. Same process for all accounts.

What are the prerequisites for installing this ROM?

On my Captivate I am running Paragon RC6 (Froyo 2.2.1) and I tried to flash the Dark Knight 5 from clockwork recovery, and most things worked, except I couldn't make or receive calls, so I restored my previous ROM and everything works again.

I'd love to try Dark Knight again, can anyone give me some tips for what worked for them? Do I need to flash back to factory Eclair with ODIN first? Or do I need to use the Samsung update to gingerbread?

Thanks in Advance.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] :
I also jumped up to DK5 from froyo.

You need gingerbread boot loaders first, so flash stock gingerbread with boot loaders. Once I had GB, I flashed CM9 twice. It isn't mentioned in the OP, but I read about CM9 later in the development thread. It sets up the partitions for ICS.

Once you've done that, flash DK5 and you should be good to go.

I would recommend reading the entire development thread. I did and it prevented me asking a few questions that had already been answered. This Q&A thread is good, but the main thread has so much more information!

Enjoy DK5. I've been running it for a couple weeks now and I love it. I had a minor battery calibration issue, but one I recalibrated and ran a few charging cycles, everything is perfect.

Edit:

Forgot to mention that after getting GB, you may lose root and CWM recovery. I used the fugu kernel swap method to get root and cwm back.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] raker1000:
I ended up getting Dark Knight 5.5 to work on my captivate straight from froyo. I went off the earlier posts that say to flash twice.

My method:

1) get the rom into the root of the sdcard

2) boot to CWM recovery

3) wipe data and cache

4) flash DK 5.5, after that the system rebooted and started to ask me what language, etc. I pressed "skip" until I could reboot again to recovery.

5) wipe data and cache

6) flash DK 5.5 again, then reboot

Everything seems to be working pretty well, I can make and receive calls, and reinstalling my apps from Market or TitaniumBackup has worked just fine.

I'll post some of the issues I had and fixed soon.

---------- Post added at 05:55 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:12 PM ----------

OK, I have run into the following issues:

1) The first time I booted up, I tried calling the phone and thought it wasnt working again, but it was just in silent mode.

2) I use droidwall, but after I decided to try out the "Set mobile data limit" option, it bypassed my droidwall settings and let Netflix stream a bunch of content through my mobile network, even though I had Droidwall set allow Netflix to only use Wifi. I found a forum thread that said this is a known issue and there is a patch, but I'm just going to turn off the "Set mobile data limit" option.

3) The battery seems to drain fast, I am going to have to find how to recalibrate like John7ate9 was talking about.

4) I installed "Maps" from google, and the first time I tried to use it to navigate, it was very flaky, and kept thinking I was a couple blocks off from my actual location, and then the gps would stop updating for a few minutes, then come back when I killed and restarted the navigation. After that it seemed to work ok, but I'll try again a few more times and see if it happens again.

5) Bluetooth voice dialing doesnt work. This is a bummer, as the main reason I was running Paragon RC6 previously was to try to get bluetooth voice dialing working. I knew it had not worked in the stock Eclair, but when I installed Paragon, which is Froyo, I figured that meant something newer than Froyo would have BT voice dial working as well.

6) Every now and then I get an error "ROM control has stopped" but then I click ok and it goes back to whatever I was doing.

The battery life on this thing is not very good. What kernel do I need to use? What sorcery do I need to adapt to make it good? =|

I've seen no way to control the amount of home screens one has with the stock launcher.

halp

A couple of days ago I upgraded to 5.5. Today at work, my phone ran out of juice and shut off for the first time since the upgrade. Now when I try to charge it, the charging screen will come up, then the screen will dim and the phone turns off, so it won't hold a charge. I tried hitting the power button during the 10 second window when the charging screen is on, but nothing happens. If I unplug it and try again, same thing happens. This is both on a wall outlet and my pc. Any ideas?

Confirmed running v5.5:

While having a 40%ish charge left, I turned off the phone and tried to charge it while off by plugging in the usb cable.

You're right, It shows the battery image like trying to charge, then dims out and shuts off, never charging the phone!!!
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] seed_87:
Sorry for the missinformation, phone does dim the screen and all but it does charge.

Just leave it there for a while and it will charge, even if the charging battery image doesnt show at all which is a bit misleading.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] donald.b.pratt:
I had the same issue once my battery was fully discharged, and it DIDN"T charge. Here is what worked for me:

1. Remove battery

2. Connect charge cable

3. Hold down PWR, VOL UP, and VOL DN at same time (3 finger salute to boot into recovery)

4. Insert battery

5. Wipe battery stats from within recovery

This is a feat for an individual with 3 hands, let alone us mere mortals. Somehow got into recovery on the 3rd try. I fully understand that this should not have an effect, but it does. Good luck! If it works, thank the noob!

Hi! After following the instructions in the dev thread (posts #905 onward for a bit) to remove duplicate files, It seems like nothing's working, and now I'm at 4 listed copies of a single item, with nothing even in the external sd card itself! I did delete the sdcard/external_sd, but that didn't change anything. Did even a dalvik and cache reset, and still no fix- now everything from ringo, to sound selection for ring tones and the gallery (photos) are all stuffed with dead links. *Note, I would clear out all the media related caches in the apps section, but truth be told I couldn't find "Media", just "Media Storage" as a close second, and there wasn't any cache to begin with. :o

clockwork

I have been looking for an answer but cant seem to find it in the Captive Forums..? or maybe im blind/retarded? Ether way when you Flash a new ROM dose it replace your old clockwork mod?? Iv flashed a couple and it seems to change every time. Anyway the "New" vershon is CWM-baced Recovery v5.5.0.2 and i want to flash DK ICS again but cant because my internal sdcard is my external and visa versa... Odd. So i loaded the internal sd (actually my external) and seemed to work till it was hung up on the firs boot for 2h..

Beside the point, the reason i want to flash DK ICS again is because i made a backup and after that most (90%) of my music was corrupted (but was and still working).

Kernel nAa is for MiniCM7 ROMs (and based-on ROMs). So You can choose between f.eg. original MiniCM7 2.1.9, iROM v005, GingerXperiaRay.

The ROM You mentioned is for ALFS kernel ;)

If You unlocked Your bootloader it will be unlocked, even if You flash stock ROM. But if You do so You will have to change kernel and root Your phone again, cause stock ROM works only on stock kernel :)
