If both tones and pictures aren't showing, there's definitely something wrong in the Media Storage app, not the Gallery App. Clear data from that, and (if you can) get a focused catlog as your phone boots targeting the media scanner and post a link to it from paste bin.
[Captivate Android Development] brianray14:
Just updated and all is well. Questions about lockscreen. Noticed in 2.7 and 2.8 that the slider seems to be too low and if nav bar is enabled, the lock screen ring gets cut off. Also, when using widget locker, when I swipe up, sometimes (most times actually) gnow mysteriously launches. Any thoughts? Petty, I know but only having stupid issues to complain about is a sure sign of a stellar ROM :)

Edit: Oh boy, jelly bean 4.2 released
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Well after test driving AOCP CP4 I decided to come back to SB mainly because I tend to have lag issues with ROMs done by The Collective for some reason... Decided to flash stock first to fix my IMEI then flashed Boog's Kernel to get CWR followed by SlimBean 2.9 x3 and now all my apps are being restored and I'm going to go sleep.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyzz:
Flashed 2.9 this a.m. and so far so good I did notice that the status bar turns grey instead of black will try to reflash black framework not a complaint just noticed it

Great rom and thanks for keeping the captivate alive

[Captivate Android Development] m1batt1:
The grey is part of a new setting where you can make the status bar transparent. Its set to partially on by default. Just turn it down to 0 and it'll be like normal.

The only App that still has problems is the check deposit part of the Chase Bank app.. It takes a picture of the front of the check ok, but when you hit the button to save the picture and move on to taking a picture of the back, it throws you out of the program. Problem seems to be in the saving of the first picture.

[Captivate Android Development] onlyu132:
i can say this is the best rom on my phone and v2.9 is the best version, everything goes smooth and responsive. I've tried Lanight, Helly Bean but after all that, I still come back to slim rom and I am still impressed with its speed. Thanks so much for great rom ! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Udonitron:
So SLIM I897 2.9.0 is the newest, yeah?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Nope we are all using slim 5.0 based off android 4.2 [/sarcasm]
[Captivate Android Development] Udonitron:
LOL dink.

OK so upon installing it gets about 20% installed and the phone reboots and goes to a "Semaphore" splash screen and stays there.

Suggestions, if any please?
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
Pull battery... Three button combo into recovery and flash rom again
[Captivate Android Development] Udonitron:
Cheers...reboobed and retried and it worked.

I am getting IMEI errors now however after install??
[Captivate Android Development] daskanda:
Do you have a backup of your efs folder?
[Captivate Android Development] Udonitron:

[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
I have to say SlimBean has been the most reliable daily driver for my phone. It's features are the best among all JB Roms. Especially the navbar implementation is the best I have ever seen. It is so good that Google should make its features native within AOSP.

My only issue with SlimBean is that since v2.7 my battery has been draining like crazy. I am not using any different apps than before, nor am I over clocking it. And yes, I did reset the battery stats and do the whole battery conditioning process. Any other suggestions on curbing my battery drain aside from a re-install from scratch???

Thanks again to krarvind and prbassplayer for a fantastic rom.

[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You using Gnow? Or Maps? They tend to be battery hogs in SGS line. Better battery stats help to figure out whats causing it as well. Worst case scenario is full wipe and reflash, its not unheard off that frame work settings between versions might cause unexpected behavior. Hope it helps.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I am seeing the same thing when I switched to 2.9. I lost 66% of my battery overnight last night after upgrading to 2.9. This is with the same modem that shows cell standby at 6%. Im going to start trying to track the new drain down this week.
[Captivate Android Development] hant-taiyou:
The battery is not good for me. I'm down to 87% in just 1h24. I'm using devil 1.0.4 w/ datadata. Look at battery data, the screen takes up 30+% while the 2nd top is ~15%

[Captivate Android Development] livito:
Hi, is it jus me but the volume on calls is very low, is there anyway to amp the sound on the headphone during calls?

(Galaxy s settings don't seem to work)
[Captivate Android Development] :
Friendcaster, or HaxSync. Both do hi-res too.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Only ROM I see requiring such steps. Paranoid Android doesn't have these random DPI issues. And you can change DPI per app there.
[Captivate Android Development] :
That is a feature of that rom, which does do those steps when you are forced to reboot. CM10 requires this too. This thread isn't to complain about extra steps to change the DPI, that you should've read before flashing it. If you want to use the feature of Paranoid, then use Paranoid. XDA is for developing, and helping devs fix bugs and better themselves, not complaining about roms that aren't even out of alpha yet.
[Captivate Android Development] npt1988:
but neither of them sync phone numbers like the Facebook app used to.
[Captivate Android Development] :
Oh, I thought you meant sync pictures using phone numbers. Nah, Facebook is being weird with their API and so nothing can really sync like the app does from what I can find.

Another Play Store data clear and three or four more reboots seems to have done the trick. So for me that was about 10 reboots and 36 hours. The instructions make it seem like it should be minutes to hours.

---------- Post added at 08:39 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:32 AM ----------

My internal SD card and external SD card are switched. (Internal is EMMC. and External is /sdcard.)

Also, neither File Expert nor the mount system apps are able mount /system as writable. (And before some asks, YES SU IS INSTALLED, and I gave both apps root privileges.)
[Captivate Android Development] cucumbersmell:
Same thing happened to me. Flashed the Devil kernel and it righted itself.
[Captivate Android Development] patrokov:
Which Devil kernel are you flashing? The only one I see on the captivate development forum is ICS.
[Captivate Android Development] npt1988:
http://rootaxbox.no-ip.org/divers/devil_jellybean/kernel/1.0.4/
[Captivate Android Development] patrokov:
That did indeed fix the sdcard issue. For the dev, the issue isn't simply that the two cards are switched. If you look in file expert, it thinks that both the internal sd and the emmc are the same thing, so simply switching the sdcard1 and sdcard0 in /system/etc/vold.fstab didn't fix the problem.

The only issue I have now is intermittent dropping of my cellular network. Very annoying to try to make a phone call and get the message "mobile network not available" (Happened with stock and Devil kernel.)
[Captivate Android Development] patrokov:
I think I've figured out the phone call/mobile network issue. I'm just getting terrible reception. I think I'll make a nandroid and try some different modems.
[Captivate Android Development] marcknight:
To change dpi

to change dpi go to applications and you will find build.prop editor and one of the choices inside would be lcd_density, change that to the dpi that you require, then restart.

If you go to settings, ASS where you can adjust how to display the clock.

CWM instead of power button its the home button

Enjoy:)

[Captivate Android Development] MarcianoS:
Battery life is tricky these days. My own observations seem to lead to the following conclusions.

1. Maps is a battery hog *if* you enable location sharing (which is the default). To turn this off, you go to the Maps app, Settings, Location Settings, and make sure that "Location Sharing" is not enabled. You can leave location reporting on, which (I think) will give you the GNow goodies. I may be getting some of the details wrong here as to exactly what is going on under the hood, but turning of Location Sharing did improve the situation for me.

2. Battery life is sometimes reported incorrectly on my Captivate. I may see an unexpected drop in expected battery life, especially after a reboot, but when the phone gets down to 1%-5% battery life... it starts inching back up! The net result is that actual battery life is in line with my expectations, i.e. about 13+ hours depending on usage. [I make quite a few calls on my way to and from work, but then I don't really use my phone a lot during the day, and I'm on WIFI]

3. IF you have poor signal reception in your building, you will drain your battery much more quickly. Turning on WiFi helps, provided you have good WiFi reception. There are several places in the building where I work where reception is horrible, and battery life suffers as a result. If you dont' need your phone at work, perhaps turnign off data altogether may be a good option.

Just my $.0.02...

One thing I see is that my phone is NEVER going into deep sleep where it had been goign into it before. I unplugged it about 1h 12min ago, havent touched it yet its dropped 12%.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Well, what does better battery stats say is keeping your phone from going to sleep? It's good practice to do a little research...

For instance, I (and many others) have discovered that GNow eats my battery for almost no reason. Not really sure why my position needs to be updated every five minutes so that I get accurate weather reports, but there you go. Things like that will drain your battery, because a few behaviors have changed since Gingerbread and even ICS (I had to get rid of one of my favorite data usage monitor app because it accidentally kept a kernel wakelock somehow).

Do some diggin! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Hehe lock screen weather does the same if you don't set location, specially on sgs line that have such great gps to being with. Lol
[Captivate Android Development] grndnl:
So correct me if I'm wrong. If I uncheck "report from this device - automatically update your location from this device" from the Maps settings, then I won't get the GNow thing at the end of the month that tells me how many miles I walked / biked / drove.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Pretty sure that's a solid yes, because that kind of information can only be calculated if google can know your location over time. It's a kind of win/lose situation, begging the question, do you need it enough, or can you live without? For me, it's worth the extra two days I get not having to charge my phone with it off rather than the nifty trivia it allows me.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
This was the cause of not going into Deep Sleep, set the location last night and now showed Deep Sleep for 91.9% but still used 49% of the battery overnight. Did I miss a FAQ on this?

For some reason the text on Weather alerts from Fancy Widgets Pro in the navigation bar isnt showing up when it used to.

---------- Post added at 08:24 AM ---------- Previous post was at 08:21 AM ----------

Where is this setting? Im not seeing it under Maps->Settings. I could get 2 days of battery on SlimICS but am barely getting 1 on SlimBEAN so anything to extend the battery life.

I'd like to flash 2.9 over SLIM ICS 4.2.

any special procedure for this kind of upgrade or just do full wipe and format system ?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
Im pretty sure that the slim website shows the steps. When I came over I did a full wipe, and had to install the rom 3 times for it to full stick (each time installed a different piece) then gapps and it came up.
[Captivate Android Development] kalda01:
I recall reading in the 2.7 change log a requirement to do Mount /System before flashing the rom. is it still required ?
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
It was a requirement if you got a specific error when upgrading to 2.6.

updater.sh error is fixed. Upgrading from Slim ICS you will be need to flash device zipe 2 or 3 times.

My phone only dropped 20% last night after updating Fancy Widget Pro from 1.8 to 3.55 along with setting the location for the lockscreen weather. Any idea why not setting the lock screen weather location wont let the phone go into deep sleep?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Well on its looking for info for weather in a set amount of time. If not static location its trying to lock on (which will fail more than anything). Add that to any other smaller wakelocks might keep it from sleeping.

If you dont want files from a specific floder to show up in your gallery then find a .nomedia file and place it in your desired folder. You should be able to find at least one of those files somewhere in your phone so just copy it from wherever you find it.

I've been away from my Cappy since June of 11...and haven't stayed up to date on all of the development still going on with it...I am amazed to say the least..

Right now I have Mosaic IV with 2.3.3 on it...and was thinking about trying this one since Slim Bean is well known...It's been so long since I flashed anything...I am quite rusty at doing it.

Is there anything special I need to do with this to get it running?

Thanks Guys

[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Nope just flash SlimBean 2-3 Times and you should be good (I personally do it 3 times from anywhere other then a previous SlimBean version otherwise I'll just do it twice). Fallowed by the Slim GApps and the 2.8 GApps update. AIO if you want em.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
40% drop overnight with nothing being done but BBS is only showing stats for the last hour (my phone was unplugged and rebooted over 9 hours ago).
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Well, if it's only showing stats for the last hour, is your phone rebooting when it's sleeping? As you can tell in this screenshot, my phone was in deep sleep only for part of the time, and stayed awake twice as long as the screen was on (even though I wasn't using it?).

Honestly, this is almost three times better than what I was getting with stock 2.2.0 (come to think of it, AT&T recently released gingerbread, didn't they?) so I'm not terribly disappointed, because at least now my phone lasts the day without dying. :angel:
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
If by recently you mean near the end of last year/beginning of this year then yeah.

I think it would be nice (not really a big issue but would be nice) if there was an unclearable notification when fast charge is on. I like to charge my phone over night, but sometimes during the day my phone will lose a lot of juice so I'll turn on fast charging and charge it, but then I'll forget to turn it off and well I don't really need it fast charging over night...
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
It looks like i need to start BBS after the reboot so that it collects data.
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
Isn't that what prbass said? Charge fully, reboot, run BBS and set it to "Since last reboot"?
[Captivate Android Development] ronniereiff:
when i power off the screen it shuts off and then quickly turns on and then turns off all in a split secound...anyone else have this? not a big deal but yeah...:P
[Captivate Android Development] Wakamatsu:
I think that may already be the case. If there was only 1 hour of data, it may be that your phone rebooted itself.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Well, when years pass by as quickly as it does for me, you tend to lose track of time ;)

Fast charging only affects how your phone reacts to being plugged into a computer. If it is on, it will always believe that whatever USB port you plug your phone into is a wall charger, which typically allows it to charge quicker (as it is allowed to draw more current, hence fast charge). If fast charge is turned off, then it allows the phone to detect the type of connection is is using and act accordingly.

I personally keep fast charge on all the time, as I rarely find myself hooking my phone up to my computer anyways. :good:
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
Use the power widget button?
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
That would work. Set it so the button is one that you always see (i.e. first five) and you should be set! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Kyuta Syuko:
So from what I gather from this post Fast Charging has no affect when plugged into the wall?
[Captivate Android Development] 305Freak:
Correct.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
On our devices specifically fast charge just disables usb data there for allowing the full current that your usb port offers to be used. To be clear wall will always be faster but fast charge allows you to charge as fast as possible from usb.
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I actually tested this out by rebooting, waiting awhile then opening BBS and finding that it was only reporting a few seconds worth of data.

i am able to record video but when i open it in gallery its plays a video but after 2 seconds it says unable to play this video :/ ANy solution ?
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
You are on stock kernel? It sounds like mismatch between Ram amount.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremists:
yup on semaphore 2.4.5 :/
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
Hmm. That doesn't sound right. in BBS, go to options, More, Graphs, View Serie. There should be a boatload of lines (starting from the time the phone just booted to the present time) detailing a simplistic overview of when your phone was awake and the category of why (screen, wlan, wifi, gps, call, etc). If /that/ doesn't have anything, there's something wrong with how your phone is logging.

I trust you aren't clearing the battery stats at all (or have an app that "calibrates" the battery)? Because that could also explain why BBU doesn't show anything at all.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
2.4.5cs? Fyi stock isn't branded
[Captivate Android Development] kevria:
I dont know if it matters but Im running the version from the developers XDA thread and dont see those options. I dont have anything calibrating my battery at boot (or clearing stats).
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
The options menu a.k.a. "Application menu"? Check out the series of screenshots I've attached. Note, that I have the tablet-style "Action overflow" enabled, so the menus appear at the top-right instead of bottom-center, but you should be able to get the gist of it. :good:

How do i make the notification light blink? I see a setting for pulse but no matter what i change it to, it still just stays lit without blinking.
[Captivate Android Development] Tsaukpaetra:
I think you want to be here:

Setting -> Interface -> Display -> Notification Light

But I noticed that unless the kernel supports blinking (maybe? Idk, I don't use it, I'm on Devil kernel at the moment), it won't actually blink (settings have no effect).

I'm going to try this myself, but I don't remember blinking ever really working that well.

Back again, Found out that using the Devil kernel, if you enable blinking in the Devil Kernel config options, you can specify that the lights should blink, and how fast, but it ignores any configuration you can make through ASS.

If you can find a similar setting for Semaphore (assuming you're stock), then that may be the ticket.
[Captivate Android Development] prbassplayer:
For blinking I recommend buying BLN pro.
