[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] iamjester:
I'm getting something similar. Sometimes when I hit the home button the search button blinks as if I had pressed it, then brings up the search screen. On my first captivate (mfg. date 7/16) sometimes it would happen once out of every hundred presses and sometimes it would happen 3 out of 5, very inconsistent. I traded that one in for one with a later manufacturing date (8/10), and my new one does it too but maybe only 1 out of every 100-200 presses. The fact that the search button blinks makes me think it's some kind of short/hardware issue. The back button has only triggered a search for me once, and that was on my first phone.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Zysoclaplem:
So this is a hardware issue or a software issue?

My back button on my phone must be pressed 4-5 times sometimes before it will register. The phone did not have the issue when I got it, and a friend of mine who has the Captivate as well does not have this issue.

It may be my imagination, but the phone seems to register touches better after I run a task killer or after restarting the phone, but tends to have issues when multiple apps are up and running.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] glio1337:
I was having a button problem as well but fixed it by upgrading to JH3. h t t p://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=767666

Your mileage may vary but it worked for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] bluetoothless:
May be my imagination, but it seemed to be more isolated to back button on JH3 than JF6 on my machine. My perception is that if I take an additional half-second pause before pushing back button it registers more often. Do not believe it is hardware though. I believe that your home page(button), settings (button), and search(button) all reference something that resides in permanent memory(ROM) whereas the back(button) is trying to recall something that is in temporary memory (RAM) and possibly similar to lag issues may be related to Samsungs somewhat proprietary file allocation system. I am by no means computer literate enough to ponder concept any deeper than just mentioned.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] TKhawk01:
I was having a problem with pushing the home button and the search would come up. I took it to a AT&T store and because I was still in the first 30 days they swapped it out for me.
[Captivate Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] KPoon:
i'm having a completely different issue with my touch buttons. my back button will register multiple button presses even when i'm nowhere near it. it's quite frustrating to be in the middle of an app and all of a sudden the back button goes off 3 or 4 times and gets you back to the home screen. i've tried searching the forums for some resolution or to see if someone else has had this, but not yet.

Edit: I must not have searched thoroughly enough, found another thread on this issue. http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=858873&highlight=back+button+issue&page=2

Has anyone else experienced this problem? On cm6 and Fresh, I've noticed that the youtube widget doesn't work unless I remove it and re-add the widget every time before I want to use it. :(
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] acuzerfdw:
Same here. I thought I was the only one with this problem. Atr first I was getting a connection problem message on the widget. So I uninstalled it and reinstalled it and it worked. Then it stated giving me the problem where I click on the search or upload button, but nothing happens. When i remove the widget, then reinstall the widget it'll work again for a bit.

I'm running the newest Fresh Rom.
[EVO 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mylasthope:
Haha. Yeah, it's a good thing I don't use it that much, but when I do...it sucks to have to remove it and re-add the widget. =(

So here's the deal, that guy "Mattdude411" trolled on one youtube comparison video, I responded to him and it ended up with a days long conversation whether iPhone 4 sucks or not. And if iPhone is better then HTC(I know I know).

So because you know how is it hard to make a conversation in a youtube comment box... I forward the conversation

[Captivate General] fatedcircle:
So I'm currently on my second Captivate after my first one seemed to have terrible battery life (couldn't even last me a full work day). The new one i have doesnt seem to be all that much better. The two phones just seem to drain so much battery in idle and i just could not put my finger on what the problem may be. At first, I thought it may be an app I had, so i restored my phone to factory settings, but still it seemed to drain a lot in idle. So for the last three nights, I tried sleeping with my phone unplugged to see how much it would drain. I slept just about 6 hours each night.

1st night i had it in airplane mode - 12%.

2nd night with 3g on and wifi off - 12%.

3rd night with just 2g on - 0%.

so my question is: why would my phone drain the same amount in airplane mode as with 3g on but with 2g on the battery drain is nothing?? Is everyone else getting similar battery drains trough the night?

I only have a week before my 30 day return period is over and I would hate to have to return this phone. If anyone can help me out this week and leave their phone unplugged through the night using the configurations i had and share their results, it would be greatly appreciated.
[Captivate General] smokestack76:
Grab system panel from the market. The paid version lets you monitor the phone. Well worth it with these issues.
[Captivate General] Smallsmx3:
What firmware are you running? When I had jf6 I had these battery issues. Ever since I flashed jh3 my battery lasts forever. The other day I got about 30 hours before I needed a recharge
[Captivate General] lost2030:
My battery didn't last long with the jf6 firmware, but jh2 improved it greatly!! If you don't have jh2 yet, flash your phone to it and then do your tests again.
[Captivate General] richhed:
I am still using jf6 firmware, as I was skeptical of the gps logging issues some were having, but I was able to fix (significantly improve) my battery life issues with an app called Juice defender, look it up in the market if you don't want to flash a non-official firmware...
[Captivate General] fatedcircle:
I'm still using the stock firmware. what exactly are JH2 and JH3? i know they are updated firmwares but are they from samsung or custom? how do i go about flashing those roms? What issues do those firmware address?

Sorry for the noob questions, but this is my first android phone and i want to know everything i can before diving into rooting and everything.

I really just wanted to know if the issues with my battery are typical of other captivates as the two that i have had seem to have similar battery life (which wasnt that great). So everyone just thinks this is a firmware issue and will be solved by flashing JH2 or JH3?
[Hero, G2 Touch Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Poshfc:
I'm having certain problems with my wifi.

Im running 2.2 froydvillain, Wifi works with maps, email, googlemail, but won't work with the Browser or Market, basically they browser won't load, Market wont download, it's just stuck at "Download Paused".

This is the first I've come across it, I've never had this problem before, so, any suggestions guys?
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dartmouth70:
:confused:My Kingston 16G class 10 sd card actually physically cracked :confused: and is therefore defunct but they will be replacing it within the week - but I do not have it backed up on my PC :eek:.

I had rooted my Incredible with Unrevoked 3 and had been experimenting with a couple of Froyo ROMs : Cyanogen6 and Skyrider 2.5. and I had just updated my Clockwork Mod Recovery and I had made full use of Apps2sd.

Now, when I put my old SanDisk 2G sd back in, it only had 1 nandroid backup on it and I am back to:

Firmware 2.1

Baseband 2.05.00.06.11

Kernel 2.6.29.....

PRI 1.28

Clockwork Recover 2.5.0.1

and while I still have some apps and my phone and wifi seem to be working fine:

I don't have Market, Rom Manager, Titanium (but I still have SuperUser). Also, when I USB my phone to PC - the PC doesn't see either. At this point, I don't even know if I'm rooted or have busybox.

I'm really puzzled as to what I should do next:

I don't know whether to do a phone restore from Settings or, perhaps from Recovery?

Or, do I want to try reinstalling Rom Manager and one of the Froyo Roms. But would that get me Market back? In all cases I'm gonna have to reinstall most of my apps since most resided (at least partially) on the dead sd. Fortunately appbrain has a record of all my apps. - but, from what I understand, there's no way to install the Market, except via HTC/Google/Verizon.

So, I probably won't have my new 16G card for almost a week and I'm very open to suggestions as to my best plan of attack :D

I guess I should also think about repartitioning the new sd - according to the recent lag fixes.

Please keep in mind that I'm pretty much command line challenged - so (perhaps foolishly) - I am doing all of this on the phone itself.

I recently downloaded SDK to my PC and I was just getting ready to try to get the hang of adb, the emulator etc - but I'm hoping I can get my phone back to where I had it before I get into that.

Thanx in advance for any help you can provide.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] xFlawless11x:
To be honest if you have to time to, just start all over.

Get the stock RUU and just wipe everything. Then unrevoked 3 again and start re-install / re-setup.

The appbrain app list will come in handy as soon as you get everything back to where it was.

That's just what I would do. It seems like the simplest solution from where you are at, but I'm no expert by any means.

Best of luck,

Flawless

Edit: Also about every week or so I copy my most recent Nandroid off my SD card and back it up to by harddrive. Just in case I ever need anything, like an old APK or old kernel or something. Just as a safety precaution although it may seem kind of redundant.
[Droid Incredible Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dartmouth70:
Thanx!

That was kinda what I suspected.

Where's the best site to get the stock RUU? I see several.

Are you telling me that now that I have the Clockwork Recovery that if I go to Settings > Privacy > Factory Data Reset - that I will no longer be restored to the original Google/HTC/Verizon stock phone?

Is it the same as if I go into Recovery > wipe data/factory reset which looks like it will go iinto Clockwork Mod v2.5.0.1 - which I don't don't whether it includes Market.

[Vibrant General] ProximaC:
So you go 200 hours between charging? I find it hard to believe that you only need to plug it in every 8 days.
[Vibrant General] flameinthefire:
indeed what a troll
[Vibrant General] Stresa:
Just turning off push email/notifications can have a significant effect on battery run time. I doubled my run time by putting some reasonable settings on my sync intervals.

I refresh my exchange account every 15 mins during peak-time ( 1 hour off-peak ), Tweetdeck every 2 hours, all other accounts hourly. With moderate use I have no problem going 24 hours on a single charge.

Also be on the lookout for misbehaving apps. I had a single dormant streaming app sitting in the background using over 10% of my battery. I kill that app manually after every use.

[Vibrant General] mikey98277:
My battery last about 24hrs on average. I bought extra batteries and I have run each of them until they hit 1% and then I use and external battery charger, bought of of ebay, came with 2 batteries and a charger for them for 14 bucks, and i do have certian things i do that drain more than others, but for instance i watch a 2 hour movie, and started with a fresh battery, (99%) and when the movie was over I was at 73%, much better than when i first got my phone, but i also still use advance task manager which everyone says is bad for the phone, but i just use it and exempt everything that is used for normal operations, then it only kills the apps i have used and want to kill. now the settings does allow you to do this by each app, but i am just lazy and paid for the app back on my G1 days and it makes killing them in widget form so one click. i just tried to exclude all the things that the phone uses to operate smoothly, and kill the rest of the garbage apps, also you can try a program autostarts, i have it as it suggested it in the app forum sticky, costs a buck, but i used it, not sure how much it helps, but like i said all I have done and how i use all of my battery each and every use now gives me outstanding battery life. No 8 days or anything but still tons better than my G1 and i didn't keep much running like i do on this one. Also turn off auto brightness, and just use the slide if you need to turn it up, dont use live wallpapers and turn it to use 2g only, and then when you need the 3g turn that back on, there is widgets to get for that so its a one click as 3g really drains the battery, so when not in use go to 2g if your not surfing the web or wacthing videos off a site, doing those things will help the life of your battery.
[Vibrant General] ConceptVBS:
That just means that your while your phone was turned on, 74 percent of the total power was used by your display.

Makes sense because you turned your screen on for about 74% of the time.

[Vibrant General] dublued:
I was suffering from poor battery (lasting only half a day). Then I realized I never really calibrated it correctly.

To calibrate your battery, let the battery drain to 0%. You'll know when the phone shuts down by itself. For good measure, turn it back on and let it shut down again.

Then plug in your phone to your charger and let it charge up to 100%. I did that by leaving it plugged in over night.

I'm now getting great battery life. Just remember this that this is a smart phone and if you use many of it's features, the battery will drain quicker.
[Vibrant General] M5devil:
Hi, I am rooted too, how do I get that percentage battery, I am not sure where to look for it. Thanks
[Vibrant General] Babyface1249:
Your screenshot is after 4 minutes of use. Charge up fully (overnight) and then use the phone until it gets to 5% battery left and then check to see if display composes 74% of your battery drain. The only way it would is if you kept your screen on constantly. The battery use tab is extremely inaccurate in an interval as short as a few minutes. Analogy: If I fill up on gas, then drive down a steep canyon, my display shows incredible gas mileage, because I haven't driven long, and the time I did drive was all downhill. The phone shows the display using so much battery because it has only been averaging for a short time, and in that time the display has been on. Make sense?
[Vibrant General] lqaddict:
Since the invention of Lithium based batteries there is no need to condition them (discharge completely and charging them up to 100%) . If you manage to drain the battery completely to 0% you ruin your battery (hopefully there is a safety mechanism in Li-Ion batteries that prevent you from doing that). The environment the batteries are in have a great effect on their battery life, Lithium based batteries doing better in cool dry environment.
[Vibrant General] YMark:
He wasn't talking about "conditioning" the battery. He was talking about "calibrating" the battery. Two entirely different things.
[Vibrant General] ttabbal:
It's not really the battery being calibrated, it's the calculation for the % remaining that you are calibrating. All because instead of measuring current in and out to determine capacity, they use voltage, which is non-linear for li-ion batteries. So the % remaining is a guess. I've had just as good results calibrating just by charging with the phone OFF overnight. Let Android boot up with the cord plugged in so it sees a nice full battery on boot. Probably doesn't matter much with our phones as they boot so fast.

You don't need to do it every time you charge, but if you do that once in a while, it seems to help as much as a full cycle does, at least in my case anyway. And you aren't stressing the battery with a deep discharge, which is really bad for li-ion batteries. The protection circuit should prevent you from draining it enough to harm the battery's health, but why risk it if you don't have to?

Battery Life : Do I have a lemon ?

Hi All,

In general I seem to be having poor battery life, I didnt use the phone as a music player or to watch movies. Mostly I browse and check news and stock market etc and battery barely lasts 8 hours with aabout 4-5 times of 15-20 mins activity

Another example :

After letting my phone charge to a 100% overnight. I used my phone in the morning for about 45 mins to 1 hour and was downloading new Apps over wifi, checking email and news. My battery went down by 20%

What do you all think, is this similar to other vibrants or do I have a bad Vibrant ?

any thoughts are welcome

thanks
[Vibrant General] M5devil:
My Vibrant is just as bad if not worse. I just called TMO and they are shipping me a new battery. I took my phone out from the overnight charge at 9am and it was already 50% by 2pm and since then it was used for a total of 10 min call time... it's now showing 40% for a total of 6h and 30 min... this is insane!!!!

I am rooted on stock ROM with nothing running in background as I have ATK. Also no life wallpaper and everything that possible turned off including display set to ZERO.

I also did the lag fix, not sure which version though. It was the MC Scripts version with 1024 and 512 and I ran the 1024. Could this be an issue?? Or is the battery just f*cked up?
[Vibrant General] reaton33:
I've been posting on the battery related articles about my experiences. I also had 8 hour battery life no matter what I did. After I applied 'ryanza one click lag fix' my battery now lasts 2 days.
