How are you getting that kind of battery life? Mine is dead around 8 pm with not what I would consider heavy usage. Which kernel and modem?

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Battery life is user based. His set up wont work for you the same way. Also notice Media server is very low Screen time is also only 3rd in the group I can assume he has no media or he didn't listen to any music no camera use, alot of screen off time and his only use was voice calls (not saying that doesn't use alot of juice, because it does) but his daily use is probably different that what you use your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] tkjeeper:
Exactly, let me see the screen time pic then we'll talk. Easy to get a day when the screen is off all day. Lame.

OK just noticed that my GPS is totally dead after flashing to 4. Not that it worked great earlier cuz this is a captivate. Now I get the GPS icon but nothing flashing inside, its a hollow icon. Get no sat locks. Had flashed a GPS fix from here, flashed it again but nothing. Anyone else have this?

Been busy last couple of days so I almost didn't use my cellphone for anything but calls, I had about 2:45 hours of talk time .. but I still get good battery life with normal use (from the moment I wake up till I go to bed at night) , I'm using semaphore (latest) , OC'd to 1.2 with the doc's master 11's modem (I guess its jl3 but I'm not sure). Wifi and data are off when I don't need them (I have them in toggles for more comfortable use ) , and I also use advanced task manager pro with auto kill when screen is off .

Car Dock Not Charging

Is anyone else having issues/success with charging their phone with the stock Samsung car dock?

I haven't been able to charge my phone in the car dock on any ICS ROM. I'm trying out Slim and I did a completely fresh install, rebooted, and tried it in the car dock...no charging.

I don't really have a way to test another phone in my dock. I know the cable going to the dock works. I want to see if others are having this issue and it's a software problem, or if I'm the only one and I have a hardware problem some where.

Other than that, I love this ROM so far :D
[Captivate Android Development] bhairya:
GPS seems to be back somewhat. I flashed the devil kernel and I'm seeing a definite improvement in battery life though its a bit early to be sure. With semaphore I was losing about 10% per hour no matter what. I'll give it a few days. No OC or anything like that for me anymore. Just don't see the need for it.

last night I have to flash again slim rom because I got bootloop after flashing a theme for cm9.. wasn't it supposed that slim supports aokp/cm9 themes?
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
The feature is available but you're on your own when it comes to whether a particular theme is compatible or not.
[Captivate Android Development] gado45:
ok I think I'll try with the touchwiz 5 theme
[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:
Theme is working for me.
[Captivate Android Development] rxnelson:
Me too. Thought it was just me and yes triple checked wifi is always on. Figure anything out?
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
You can do what I did - reflash the Essentials package which has the original kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Thanks. I guess that makes sense but that essentials pack must be flashing other stuff too. Could it not interfere or overwrite some thing? Would prefer just name and dl file for the kernel but will do the essentials flash for now if I have to
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Any other kernels to oc and UV anyone can recommend? Not getting much help here and not having much luck.

Tried a ton of 4.0.3 kernels today but almost all didn't work or won't dully compatible with this rom. Only platypus and glitch are the ones I have been able to use ( which is great) but want to test others on this if possible.

Just like before I have my phone screaming on glitch at 1.620Ghz and fairly stable..only one random reboot in two days and might not have been kernel fault but battery drain high again for some reason even though I had this tweaked with UV to last long on other roms. So want to try others so pls anyone who is using anything else fhat works on this rom pls post name n stats here if possible. Thanks

And one again great job on this ics build as it is awesome! Easily the best yet out of the 6 I've tried now as long as one doesn't mind the trimmed down shell that slim in incorporates!

Free Memory setting in ASS app

can someone quickly explain the Free Memore setting in the performance section of the Ass app?

It says "the amount of ram the minfree taskiller will keep" and it is confirgurable for 25 to 100mb...default at 50.

what exactly does this mean and what's the difference in using a different value here and what is best for certain scenarios? minfree taskiller? please explain..

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
hey man could u explain how did u install glitch kernel? with step. like wipe dalvik etc. and is it working? cause i need more speed :P
[Captivate Android Development] :
Download the kernel to your phone. Reboot to recovery and flash it. No wipe needed. Make a nand beforehand as a precaution. And yes, glitch does work.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Glitch was crashing for me every time the phone would sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Don't use 100 step for min. And don't have voltage below 925mv min on 200 step. I had same issue and this worked. No crash on wake up or don't use deep idle. This should work!
[Captivate Android Development] electech13:
Just like reply from above just dl, backup and flash with NO wipe. It does its own with its script. When I flash kernels with my own wipe first I have probs.

Glitch should work fine and gibe you amazing performance even with just the standard oc steps without any live oc (use nstools). Battery life might be a bit lower though and I can't UV as much as other kernels.

Platypus is the only other kernel I use that oc very well to Max 1.46Ghz step that is flawless. So if need more performance on this slim ics rom, use one of these two.

Hope this helps!

Cuz with this rom and one of these kernels, this thing flies!!
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
1.785 :eek:. might burn you :p. glad you liking it
[Captivate Android Development] ChaoticKinesis:
This sets the default for minfree memory, which is the amount of memory the task manager tries to keep open for other apps. If it's set too low, your phone will run slowly. If it's set too high, it may kill apps that you'd prefer to remain open. A higher setting may save you battery life if it means less is running in the background, but it could also have the opposite effect if background apps are repeatedly killed and automatically reopened.

You should experiment with it to see what works best. Prior to this ROM, my phone used to lag unless I set my minfree memory to 60MB. With this ROM, I have been getting the smoothest performance ever and I have it set to the default of 50MB. The weird thing was that until I manually set it to 50MB and chose to set on boot, it was at 45MB even though 50MB was selected.

[Captivate Android Development] AtoZ0to9:
No, not as of yet... I've tried clearing its data, removing the app and getting it from the market, have noticed it on all builds, and even went so far as to change the rom and try it just to download something not device-specific... I kept getting the not supported msg, can't remember if I got anything downloaded or not... For the longest it wouldnt even download, would get somewhat in, and hang, but now it downloads, just can't let the screen sleep, and my wifi is set to sleep never also...

So far my fix is to hold the phone, and keep my finger on the screen away from the cancel button and watch tv...

The moment this Rom supports Fast Charge, I'll switch to it as the short time I used it, it was easily the fastest Rom I had ever used.

SimplyAOKP is the closest I've got to this.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
? FastCharge has been supported like forever. enable toggle off you go. on my stock kernel ofcourse.
[Captivate Android Development] Boldizzle:
Really? I downloaded the paid toggle(as I couldn't find it in the toggles list) and it still didn't work, both on default Kernel or Devils which both support Fast Charge.

I came to the conclusion that it was a Rom limitation as I even asked in this Topic about it and was basically told that it didn't look like it was supported?

Might have to give it another try.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
4.0 is bringing back memories of 3.6. 13 hours and still at 50% battery. Yeah baaaaby !

On a side note Krarv - the new clock adjustment gets two stray forward slashes if you choose the normal size day of the week. Small day of the week works perfect.

Well it's not quite 50 but getting there if you count the previous ones. Keep up the great work. This was hands down the best update yet. My email stayed, nova launcher stayed, etc., etc.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
you don't need any paid toggle, just enable fast charge toggle via ASS, toggles, enabled toggles. I use it all the time on sgs and gnex. Cappy shares kernel code with sgs.

@krarvind

Is it possible to get a working simtoolkit since I'm sure you haven't added it cause it doesn't work, can you fix it? Its never worked obviously but if you can fix it that would be great, my carrier (Safaricom) has a lot of services including money transfers that require a working simtoolkit
[Captivate Android Development] sa1yan:
It's mostly kernel based. As long as you can find a way to enable it, the rom should be able to support it. Unless there's something seriously wrong with the rom lol.

[Captivate Android Development] :
There's nothing wrong with the rom, Boldizzle must have used a very old version of Slim ICS, it didn't have fast charge toggle when it started out and krarvind added it a short while later, I've never used Semaphore but all the other ICS kernels support it

[Captivate Android Development] shaker2k:

remove thelephonyprovider.apk from system/app

and system/lib delete libril.so libsec-ril.so libreference-ril.so
[Captivate Android Development] pqee:
Airplane mode works but there's still the airplane icon in the status bar. Wonder if this is still better though since I'd guess it powers down the antennas not in use. I was just hoping it'd be a simple file or two to remove.

I tried this but still had the signal bars up top.

Bug?

Slim 4.0, stock kernel.

Videos play fine using Dice player.

If TV-Out is enabled, the videos will spit out "Sorry, this video cannot be played".

As soon as TV-out is disabled, videos work again.

Is this normal behavior?

EDIT: SW decoder works fine w/ TV-Out, but stutters like hell.

If I wanted to check out other kernels - like that new devil one - is there a way to revert back to the stock slim one? I tried playing around with different kernels in the past but had problems trying to restore nandroids to revert and figured there was an incompatibility with different kernels installing different CMRs... or is there a odin of the stock slim kernel that we can use to freely change kernels back and forth?

[Captivate Android Development] know8677:
I'm still on stock everything and I've been on battery for 12 hours and still have 71% left.
[Captivate Android Development] bhairya:
Semaphore didn't give me good battery life at all. Its weird how inconsistent battery life is for kernels for different people. Yes I know about usage but that doesn't really matter when someone changes kernel and sees improved life because his usage pattern hasn't changed from one kernel to the next. I flashed devil 71 and saw the same thing, much improved battery. Semaphore was draining about 10% per hour. I didn't stay long enough with the default kernel to really compare, though.

I'm having two strange problems with this ROM and Devil 0.72.

1) Two days in a row, browser started using nearly 100% CPU while I wasn't doing anything. The phone got warm and drained the battery very quickly. I had to force stop it. Any ideas what might cause the browser to start up randomly like that?

2) When I listen to Google Music, the music plays fine while the screen is on. As soon as the screen goes off the music starts stuttering and popping. It's not necessarily like the song needs to buffer more, it sounds more like a loose cable connection or something. Any idea what might cause this?

Are these problems more likely ROM issues or Kernel issues?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
1) Don't know whats wrong. Never had that and I'm usually on Slim and Devil (when ever not testing something) and never had that.

2) Change Governur from SmartassV2 to something else. I use Lulactive but Lazy is also another good choice.

Edit:

After speaking with Krarvind, it seems like it is just a side effect of big mem mod. I've never had that issue before but on some videos (depends on how it was encoded) my H/W accel doesn't work. Check if that happends with all your video or just that one, or just a few. Sorry I can't be more helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] baconatorXVI:
need help... I hope i can get some help here.

I'm not sure if this is a rom or kernel issue...

i just installed the devil kernel(1.404ghz is awesome) and went to install commandcenter from the play store app. and couldn't find the app. when i searched for it on play.google.com it says this app is incompatible with your sgh-i897. i searched other apps like google plus, gmail, go launcher and it says everything is incompatible with your device.

I have almost no cell service at my house since i live in the middle of nowhere and i don't have wifi at my place either... so i can't really be downloading anything from the market to test it.

is this a kernel or Rom issue? i don't think i had this trouble beforehand...

maybe i'll flash semaphore back.

---------- Post added at 08:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:47 PM ----------

very strange... when i flashed to semaphore play.google said everything was available on my device. this is very interesting... sorry for taking up space on a rom thread... why would the devil kernel affect his?
[Captivate Android Development] Ir0nLy0n:
I wondered if that was it. It happens with quite a few videos. It seems random. Sometimes a video will play all the way through no problem then the next night the same video had issues.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
No if its the mem mod then the same video file should always yield same result. Odd. This is very generic but attempt wiping cache and dalvik. If that doesn't work attempt with other app. If that doesn't work Full wipe format /system and reflash =/.

Already did a full wipe format /system before reporting I wanted to make sure it wasn't something I'd done.(still might be though) Trying out devil kernel now to see if maybe a kernel issue.
