This is not a big deal but I noticed there's a newer version of the file manager than the one in Slim.

I prefer Semaphore 1.0sc. There's a new version out 1.1.1 but there's issues some are having with losing recovery and boot loops.

I get fairly bad battery on my phone. I usually have to charge it throughout the day or when I talk on it. I don't use auto brightness and I get to about 70% in about 2 hours with average use to no use. I get on average 10 hours to maybe 12 if I am lucky. I do use juice defender to help. Any other ideas?

Phone reboots randomly and my findings...

I had earlier posted that after installing SlimICS, I observed that my phone reboots randomly.. not too often... but about once in a day. I had a little free time and started checking it out. I have observed this in all versions of SlimICS

1. Installed Slim ICS and observed my phone rebooting randomly about once in a day.

--- It was the default ROM installation.. No over-clocking, modifications.

--- Installed with full data wipe, cache wipe and Davlik cache wipe

2. Installed the other ICS ROMs one after the other.

--- Didn't find the phone rebooting in any of the other ICS ROMs

3. Went back to the original Stock Android ROM (Gingerbread).

--- Didn't find the random reboots again.

4. From Stock ROM, flashed the CM9 ICS ROM..

5. Rebooted and flashed the SlimICS (v3.4) again with Full Wipe.

6. Nothing else was installed/over-clocked/or any modifications of any sort.

7. But, observed that the phone rebooted again after a couple of hours.

8. Observed the phone reboots happening again once/twice a day again.

9. Flashed the Semaphore kernel and checked. Phone reboots still happening.

10. Reflashed SlimICS once again with the latest update 3.5. Observed the phone reboot happening.

;)Sorry if that was long. But, wanted you to be sure that I had tried everything to make sure that there wasn't anything wrong with the phone.

It looks like only the SlimICS Rom is causing this and none of the other ROMs.

Can someone please advise on what I should do? I really like this ROM:cool: and am running my phone on it. But, would like this one bug to be ironed out.

Thanks to all!!
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
Might be a radio issue, try to change the radio and see.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I had been using JD under gingerbread but switched to using the built in PowerSaver that comes with Slim.

On Friday around 2pm I was at 97%, turned off wifi and gps. I turned my phone off around 10pm and back on again at 5am. Turned it off on Saturday around 10pm and back on again around 6am Sunday and was still at 22%.

This was with multiple phone calls, IM's, emails and pictures taken.
[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I know this is off topic, but is turning off the phone for 7 hours of non-use time really worth it? I would think the juice it uses to power down and back up might be similar to what it would use if you just left it on. At the very least, you could put it in Airplane mode for that time.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
One thing I found to not be working on 3.5. Easily worked around by using keyboard microphone button but...

If you open up g nav and press "speak destination" it causes a FC. "Type Destination" still works and you can then use keyboard Mic as a work around. Don't know how this can get fixed as Matt be a gnav issue but it is essential for using GPS while driving
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you flash the speach zip from OTA?
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
I still get occasional random reboots. Doesn't bother me too much and I'm running Nexus radio
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
My charging cable was 45 minutes away while I was at West Point on a scout function that I was constantly running around for and I needed to drag the battery out as long as I could so anything I saved helped.

In the long run since I finished the weekend with 22% before I started charging it I would say that it was worth it.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
Hey,

After flashing 3.5 from 3.3 my data has stopped working and when i go to the OTA section in ASS it crashes :/ Anyone experience this?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nop, are you sure you flashed Both base and essentials?

Yea I did, everything else seems to work. I downloaded the OTA patch to see if that fixes the OTA settings then im going to flash again and see if data starts working.

EDIT: to be more accurate my phone shows H/3G signals but does not connect to google servers unless on wifi
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Did you try to reset you APN?
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
im not sure how. I did try installing a diff modem but that didnt help
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Settings> Wireless & Network "more...">mobile network>Access Point Names (APN)> setting button reset APN.
[Captivate Android Development] ksimilie:
When I went to APN turns out ChatR was selected but im on Rogers, not sure why flashing 3.5 changed that but everything works now, including OTA updates. Thanks a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Glad to hear it :)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
What kind of Power Saver settings do you use? I find it to do more harm than good as it seems to be fairly buggy... I'm lucky to get by with a day's worth of use with some texting and on screen time. Rarely make calls and watch videos lately.

Well worth it, considering 7h drains at least 10% of your battery life whereas turning it on and off is like 1% max.
[Captivate Android Development] willbs94:
This isn't as true. Sometime turning it off will drain the battery......a lot. Sometime you can get lucky and it not drain much but at times you can end up having more than just that 10% taken away.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Turning your phone off and on will not drain your battery by 10%. Your battery gauge will reset based on the voltage of the battery it reads when your phone is turned back on. I've often had a 20+% jump while rebooting because the charger was plugged in when I did it.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
How is this relevant to the rom? I fail to see how arguing if you loose more charge while on or off is relevant =/
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
It started with someone saying he had bad drain with Slim and snowballed. =\
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Only a gentle nudge on keeping on topic ;)
[Captivate Android Development] geokilla:
I've had the battery percentage jump up as I continue to use my phone throughout the day. Phone wasn't fully charged needless to say, but still weird. I wiped the batterystats and let's see if that changes anything.

Now back to the Power Saver settings... Am I the only one who finds it to do more harm than good? See previous post.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I don't use the Power Saver function because it misbehaves. When I reboot with it on, it inverts its behavior. It actually turns wifi off when the screen turns on =/. I don't find that not using it has affected how much usage I get with a charge. Plus, my apps can't sync while it's in effect.
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
cwm recovery... delete init.d directory... I haven't had a charge / sleep death yet... fingers crossed ...

I think maybe I had an old diddle script stuck somewhere ...
[Captivate Android Development] toonwar:
I'll definitely try that. Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I just noticed that my wifi is now behaving weirdly with powersaving turned on under 3.5. Its set to not change the state of wifi when the screen turns off but I keep finding that wifi is off when I turn the screen back on.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
I see wifi behaving erratically in general on 3.5. No changes in my home setup, I have an extender. 3.4 (and prior) was switching flawlessly from main router to extender and back, 3.5 hesitates, and even when switches, shows signal, but looses internet ...

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Wifi should be no different between 3.4 and 3.5, Haven't touched those in a while. Make sure you didn't flash the deep idle framework. I don't support that. it's there as is.
[Captivate Android Development] pupochek:
Did not touch anything, just flashed 3.5 that I got using Updateme app...
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I did the same thing but I wonder if the problem could be having Wifi->Advanced set to turn off wifi while in sleep so that it looks like PowerSaver->Wifi was turning wifi off. Check to see what you have Wifi->Advanced->Keep wifi on during sleep is set to.

How do you solve issues related to cell standby? I'm on jk4 right now. Near Chicago if anyone has suggestions for modems.
[Captivate Android Development] musavvir:
Amazing rom! Love the reduced dpi! I'm having some issues though.

1. I can't seem to find the dock. There is no dock. Is this a bad flash or do you have to toggle something to show the dock?

2. This I don't think is related to the ROM, but my cappy's having audio issues. Using headphone makes the audio crappy and somewhat broken, making your believe it's your headphone that's gone bad. I have used multiple headphones/which are working fine on other devices. What's even more weird is that the loudspeaker of the phone is producing fine sounds. So what's up? Does anyone have any idea?

As a point in fact, when I went to bed last night my phone was at 67%, when I got up this morning it was at 9%. That could have happened while I was off camping which would have left me with a dead phone and a 1.5 hour round trip for a charger. I have no idea WHY my phone lost almost 60% of the charge overnight but it occasionally happens.

Android OS shows 78% and everything else was 7% or less.
[Captivate Android Development] lordxentris:
This usually happened when the phone might have been in a low signal area, phone tries to get a better signal by boosting the radio, this ends up eating more of the battery, my suggestion is to put it to Airplane mode before you sleep.

Time without signal is 0% plus I have a femtocell in my house so signal shouldnt be a problem and this only occurs on rare cases.

base + essentials

Hi GUys

Looking to try on this rom. I am currently on Dark Knight 5.5

What base+essentials am i downloading? What is the difference between the md5sum and the regular base?

And I assume I am dowloading the I9000 essentials?

Thank you
[Captivate Android Development] rxnelson:
Go back and read the OP. There is a link for download changelog etc. The directions are also on the website. It is pretty straight-forward. The md5 is a check/compare file that makes sure what you downloaded is what was uploaded (no errors).

You posted this in Captivate section so I would assume download the Captivate essentials. If you have an I9000 download that. Read the install instructions make sure you flash base and rom without a reboot.
