Hi all,

So far Rom is being great, but I face one issue last night. I put the phone charging and it was ok up to 3 am (was fully charged). When I wake up around 6.30 the phone was off (it was connected to the charger) I unplug it and turn it on. I found battery was on 69%. Seems it discharged while "death"? Is this what is called the "charge of death"? I have never experience that before.

Here some pics attached.

Also one big drop yesterday when I was playing with the LCD density, after a couple of reboot it drops like that.

Anyone experience this? Should I fresh reflash? I am coming from ICSSGS RC4.2, and flash Slim yesterday. I have kerner that came with slim and no modification to config.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
yes., clean install is the route i will go.
[Captivate Android Development] raruhs:
Thanks for the feedback!.. I will do so.
[Captivate Android Development] basily:
You think i need a clean flash too then? Or anything else i might try?

Different modem maybe?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
Try a clean install with format system and wipe data.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
I got the charge of death last night as well. Thankfully, I woke up right before the phone alarm was set to go off.
[Captivate Android Development] MadGoat:
happening to me daily...

It seems more and more sleep / charge death issues are popping up...
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
Been on it for a month or so, all stock except Nova launcher. hadn't had any sleep/charge of death issues personally .
[Captivate Android Development] Blackcrx:
question for ppl that are getting sleep of death. does this happen when it is being plugged in to the charger or just in standby mode?

i have never had a sleep of death issue but my phone is always plugged in to the charger at night
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
I've only gotten it to happen once, last night, while it was on a USB charger.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
Experienced my first sleep of death last night.

Auto Brightness

In the past builds of Slim, my auto brightness was working better than in any previous ROM (smooth, consistent transitions and the ability to get much dimmer in low light conditions). I am on stock 2.9 now and I am having some issues. If I turn auto on, the screen responds as I expose it to bright light but it seems to stay in bright mode. If I expose it to dark conditions it does not dim. If I toggle the auto button in the same dark conditions, it goes dark and stays dark. If I shut off the screen, then back on it is instantly dim. Basically auto mode brightens but never dims. Is this just me? Any recommendations?
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericSYN:
Perfect Rom! Keep up the awesome work!
[Captivate Android Development] MS Gray Man:
So this issue I think in some way (as was suggested somewhere back in the thread) seems to relate to fully or nearly full batteries.

I ran for four days without having a single SOD power off/reboot issue when I was just car docking the cappy but never having it full charged.

Normally I do not charge my phone but use and external charger and two batteries swapping back and forth daily.

The SOD issues seem to happen with some consistency once a fresh battery is installed and then will cease to happen once the charge falls off.

I don't believe this issue is specific to this ROM as it has happened with other ICS ROMs like DOCs v5.

In the current config (last time I installed Slim 2.9) I flashed back to stock with a full wipe of the phone, re-rooted, verified the IMEI had stayed in place and did not switch the kernel. In the prior install of Slim I tried both the stock kernel and Glitch b5 with no obvious change in the behavior.

With that said it is running pure Slim 2.9 at the moment.

With a fully charged battery installed and then not using the phone (such as last night) it happened twice. Once before I went to sleep I hit the power button to wake it up getting the ATT bootloader image and it booted back up. Then left it. When I woke up a bit ago, hit the button, ATT and a boot. Battery still at 100% so... This has been a semi-consistent pattern with fresh batteries installed.

Since the clean wipe of the phone I have not set any overclock or undervolt.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I've had the SOD happen a second time. The first time, the battery was at 75% when I put it down. The second time was at ~50%.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
I don't know why its happening, mostly happens due to kernel issues, i haven't heard of single SOD in sgs thread and has never happened to me.
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I'll keep an eye on it. If it keeps happening, I'll reflash Essentials to compare.
[Captivate Android Development] crenshaw1979:
After a full day on this ROM my battery died after 21.47 hours. Near zero use, 27 minutes of calls, maybe 3 minutes of texting and emails. Is this topical battery life?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
27 minutes of 3g calling? and how long was the screen on for?
[Captivate Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Only one hour. And how it was on that much I have no clue. 100% of the calls were done by my car. Wirelessly.....

2. 9 clean install, reboot, full format of OS, then install again., with factory reset. I think the problem is the phone is not going into standby/sleep when not in use....
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
Did you wipe your battery stats?

It may cause the problem.
[Captivate Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Sure did
[Captivate Android Development] Wdustin1:
Don't know if anyone running slim uses the on screen buttons but I got 2.9 version up finally!

[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I use about 45-50% battery on a good day. 60-70% on a bad day.
[Captivate Android Development] raruhs:
Hi all,

And update from my previous post, I did a clean install and I did not get the charge of death so far. Will test again tonight. What I have been getting (and not only on this room) is the sleep of death, the good it has only happend once in two day (battery level around 60%). I guess in part is my phone (build 1007) than other things.

Again great room and great tools within.

SOD Update

So earlier I said I had only had the SOD issue with a full battery (someone already showed that they had it at other times...) but today I've had it happen 6 times.

Odd that it went from a sometimes occurrence to all day long but it hasn't stopped yet.

Rolling back to Glitch to see if it helps but I don't think it will.

Update: Note that the b6 version of Glitch is up now and does state "Disabled Samsung sleep patches from Teamhacksung to prevent SODs"

Has not happened since flashing this version.. I'll see if it's alive in the morning.
[Captivate Android Development] captican:
I am stock on Slim and I have not experienced SOD (been here since 2.7).
[Captivate Android Development] ganaa1221:
seems like you misunderstood.

you shouldn't have wipe that battery stats.

it makes your battery draining.
[Captivate Android Development] zerojay:
Went from 71% to 41% by using my phone for 30 minutes straight with the screen on last night. Thinking about going back to Slim 2.8 for the far better battery, unfortunately.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
not true for me. I lose 2% if my screen stays on for half hour with auto brightness slider half way. Check if some app is responsible

[Captivate Android Development] crenshaw1979:
Any suggestions then? I have ICS set for zero background taste running and force 2D hardware.

-FANCY WIDGET (Weather app)

-Battery ETA (not widget) (estimates when battery will die with my use)

-Hotmail - synchronize every hour.

-Facebook - once a day

And I know from three other Captivates I setup these apps eat nearly zero battery...

And are my only battery eating apps.

And to answer someone's else's question, 21 hours of battery with only 30+ - minutes total use via voice or texting ....

Just looking for advice, on how to extend my battery a little bit or a lot... :D

Battery Life

I don't want to see another post about poor battery life :p. It's user/phone specific, but take a look. Auto brigtness almost on half way.

In my Nexus S, 1500 mAH stock battery. Everything stock, no uv nothing.

75 min 3G call, 6:51 min of display ( doesn't include the first half hour as i rebooted once when i went down from 100% to 98%)

from 98% to 2% with above stats.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
That's on stock battery? Just curious.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
ofcourse, in my Nexus S 1500 mAH battery.
[Captivate Android Development] anishz:
7 hrs screen on time! :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] oriveradel:
I have done that, after flashing a new rom or kernel, the I calibrate the battery with Battery Calibration tool.

Charge to 100% while phone off

Turn phone ON plug again till 100%

Run battery Calibration app
[Captivate Android Development] MS Gray Man:
Just an update after applying the b6 kernel I hit the power button this morning and nothing... then AT&T screen... so it still suffered a death overnight.

I'm at a loss... I did not do a complete wipe and reinstall with the kernel. I don't think that would make a difference as it was done with the last install of 2.9.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
May be its your device? I don't know what else it can be.
[Captivate Android Development] goosefraba91:
I just flashed from 2.8 to 2.9, and I have noticed my batter draining pretty quickly. I looked under battery in the settings, and it tells me that "media" is using 43% of my battery with the "included packages" being: Downloads, download manager, DRM protected content storage, and media storage. What can I do to fix this?
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
Can someone test their auto brightness for me on stock 2.9? I posted (#502) that I was having issues. I am tempted to wipe and try again. I did a non-wipe update to 2.9. This is what I want to test.

- Turn on auto brightness

- Put phone in front of a bright light source fore a few seconds

- Check that the screen looks bright

- Put the phone in a dark place for a bit (30 sec ?)

- Is the screen dim or did it stay bright?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
works fine on both my Nexus S and SGS

[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
Now it says that my device is incompatible with those apps. Do I have to do the DPI fix?

EDIT: Trying to download/install apps that are compatible results in constant force closing of the google play market..I installed the 3.5.15 release (most recent update)

Tried using older version of market, it just force closes all the time now..

EDIT2: Okay, well, I just reflashed the base and the essentials after uninstalling the market using TiBu. It didn't work again initially, but then all of a suddent it worked. Dunno what happened or how it got fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] hyperpowerr:
Hopefully this isn't too off topic. What digital clock widgets go best with the 182 dps? I've always used the digital clock apk that comes with the SGSII and I've been using the ICS themed version with other 4.03 roms. However, it doesn't seem to scale and resize for 182 dps. All other widgets I have tried have been too small.
[Captivate Android Development] xreflection:
I use minimalistic text (grab from the market). You can do time, date, battery level etc... and if its too small, you just increase the font size.
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
I use Beautiful Widgets, it costs, but worth it. Looks good at 182 as well.

Auto Brightness

So based on the responses in posts 537, 538 and 540, it appears that auto brightness is broken on the Captivate version. Of course, I can live without it and I will because I like this ROM so much, but can it be fixed in a future release? I am pretty sure it was working in past builds.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Working for me in current build
[Captivate Android Development] geeve420:
Me as well, just tested it. I am stock 2.9 with Nova Launcher.

Geeve
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
It's definitely not the ROM but kernel related. I'm on 2.9 with Glitch 5.1. Just updated to Glitch B6 and auto brightness now no longer works. Going back to 5.1 until it gets fixed as my battery dies quick enough as is
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Ya I figured it was kernel related, I can live with it though. It does increase and once you turn off screen it reset. Just doesn't decrease when you walk in side unless you turn off screen.
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
So if I come back inside and power button off my screen when i wake the screen again it will be dim and adjusted to current ambient light source ?

If that's the case I'll stay on 6 instead of reverting back to 5.1 because like you, I can live with that.
[Captivate Android Development] orb_526:
Or you can toggle auto mode off and then back on and it will adjust.
[Captivate Android Development] geminihc:
mmm i've been using the 2.8 rom for about 3 weeks and its all good but there are some almost breaking things that make me want to switch:

-when going to dial, there is a 50/50 chance that the dialer will freeze and i must force close it and re-open to fix it. is this is a common problem?

-phone has crashed/blackscreen/cant turn on for about 5 times. all of the the times were from sleep so i cant turn it on when i want to use it. must battery pull to restart.
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
I use dialer one from market and its smooth. no lags. I might consider taking t9 out as that seems to cause lag.
[Captivate Android Development] mopo01:
Tried downloading dialer one and market says not compatible with device.

I hear no difference with DSP Manager. I like the Kernel with this ROM a lot, only downside is no support for Voodoo Sound. Which is far superior in my opinion.

I'm having a not uncommon issue with the Power Saver function. A lot of times, I find the wifi still connected while the screen is off. When the screen is turned back on, I see that wifi is connected briefly and is then turned off.

Edit - I think I found a pattern. If I reboot with Power Saver checked, it will not behave properly. If I uncheck Power Saving before I reboot and then enable it afterwards, it's fine.
[Captivate Android Development] data2318:
Does this Rom support the audience chip?
[Captivate Android Development] b-eock:
ROM doesn't decide the audience chip support, the modem does. Please don't start talk of this. As everyone wants to add their two cents about the support. Only Nexus S modems will help you get audience chip support on AOSP ROMS
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:

I seem to be having a pretty big battery drain in 2.9. No wierd issues or anything, just the android OS seems to be eating up a TON of battery. I have reflashed twice, this one is clean, no added apps. Im down 22% in less then 2 hours. On 2.8 I would only be down MAYBE 5% at the most. Ive tried stock Kernel, glitch, and semaphore. Doesnt seem to make a difference either way. I will go back to 2.8 for the time being. Thanks for everything you do krarvind
[Captivate Android Development] scottcwhite:
Probably a dumb question but will the captivate 2.9 and essentials work on my wife's fascinate since it is essentially the same phone ?
[Captivate Android Development] krarvind:
If the key layout its same it might. Let me know. I would change the kernel if it didn't boot.
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
Of course, not sure how else I wold do it. Found the issue though. Some where along the short time I have had this ROM running I lost access to root. Titanium Backup or any other root app could not access root. Re-flashed the ROM and back in business. Was able to ste LCD Density to 220.

By the way, so far this ROM Kicks Ass! :D

Props to krarvind!
[Captivate Android Development] ChaoticKinesis:
Ha! I was wondering what that settings button referred to. That fixed it.

Now to sort out this wifi issue. It seems like the ability to turn on wifi is somehow linked to whether bluetooth is enabled. These are the scenarios:

1. If bluetooth is on, wifi will turn on. Bluetooth can now be turned off. If phone is rebooted with wifi on and bluetooth off, goto 2.

2. If bluetooth is off, enabling wifi causes switch to toggle back and forth continuously without settling. This persists through any number of reboots until bluetooth is turned on and the phone is rebooted. Both will be enabled after boot.

Are others finding this to be the case as well?
[Captivate Android Development] Phaze13:
I can confirm with bluetooth on, wifi works as should and was able to connect to network.

Hope we can get a fix for this wifi issue.

The camera on this ROM has more working than any other ICS ROM I tried so far. However, the effects in video camera mode (non-existent on other ROMs) causes a FC whatever I choose. I don't care about it - was just curious to see what it would do.
