My screen looked the same way today. Screen was at 90%. Battery was at 31% after work and it is normally in the 60's. I'm also having the exchange problem. As much as I hate to, I'm thinking about going back to 2.1...

I have read every single post in this thread, even the ones that were previously "wiped". Sometimes I have read posts a second, and third time just to get the information straight in my head. I read and read because I am a noob to Android and I want to know things, and know how to do things without screwing up my phone. I have succeeded in learning the basics just by reading. I have flashed my phone successfully at least 3 times and my phone has never had a working 3 button combo! I have read other threads about issues concerned with this thread, etc. etc. etc. My point is, if you spend some time researching, you will not have to type a question and wait for an answer, because 99.9% of the questions have allready been answered 10 times over.

I sincerely hope DG doesn't get disgusted with the repetitive questions and bickering back and forth about this trivial matter and that minute little quirk. Take a minute to think where we'd be without his hard work, now take another, because you didn't take a full minute the first time did you!?! Go completely back to stock for a while and you will realize all the hard work of DG and his beta testers.

Please don't give up on us DG! Most of us love your work and love to learn!!!! I myself wish I knew half of what you have forgotten!!!!!! :):D

flashing from 2.1

sorry to be a n00b but if im at stock 2.1 can I just flash the 2.2 beta 5.5 in clockwork recovery?

See what I mean?!?!??!!?!

Hi Lunder,

Please use the search function. The question has already been answered.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] eatkabab:
5.5 is definitely a significant improvement over 5.0; both in smoothness and speed.
[Captivate Android Development] salazar44:
Thanks s44... by the way, similar usernames huh. haha.

so when they say 2.3b8 is back to captivate, what exactly do they mean? is the unlock screen back to the puzzle? or what else is different?
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
That is exactly what I thought I was doing. So, will only restoring user apps and data also restore my text message's, contacts, calendar data and things of that nature?
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
Most of it yes. Some things like sms is listed under apn/sms/mms backup and should show up in green. Those are ok to restore. Just avoid restoring system components that show com.google and a 2.1.1 in there somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
No, it is the standard lockscreen. They are referring to the kernel, it is Captivate based and not i9000 based as b7 was. This, of course, means you have to have a Captivate modem with the Cappy kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] theMaDHakkeR:
It means that the kernel is a stock captivate kernel with voodoo lagfix 5.x injected into it. So basically no I9000 stuff, no bluetooth problems, but you also lose all the kernel hacks and any OC/UV.
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Thanks a lot! Appreciate your help. I will try this at some point this week. It would be great to have a short list of where this type of thing is stored, but I guess that would be pretty big and different depending on the phone/version of everything.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
That does not sound right. DG is using a Captivate kernel on B8, which has never had a sleep death issue. What exactly happened to make you think it was sleep death?
[Captivate Android Development] BadTrip6669:
Mine is doing it also. When I go to wake the phone up, it freaks out like explorer crashing and reloading on Windows.
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Windows? Wow, you really messed something up. ;-)

2.3B8 FC issues?

Hmm. I've moved back to Cognition after running Perception for several weeks. To be safe, I did Odin one click back to stock, master cleared, then flashed 2.3b8. I followed my usual steps to restore my user apps only, plus data for a few things like contacts, bookmarks, and wi-fi access points.. On my next reboot after restoring apps with TiBu, I'm getting FCs all over the place, particularly from Google Services Framework (com.google.process.gapps) which I'm pretty sure I did not restore. I made sure to deselect all Google apps in Tibu.

I've cleared and flashed twice with similar results, including a fresh download of the ROM.

Is anyone else seeing this, and/or have you had any problems moving from Perception build 9 to Cog 2.3b8? (assuming anyone else has done this :) Is it possible that running Perception might have upgraded some components that are not compatible with Cognition, and I'm inadvertantly restoring them?

Thanks.

Edit: Attempt 3 now. Still ending up in the same FC Hell, but there is absolutely no sign of this _until_ after I restore my Contacts info. How can restoring 'data only' for my Contacts be causing this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] penguin6:
Necronius,

Have you tried using Rom Manager to "fix permissions" yet? This will usually clear up most FC errors in my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] angelchen1111:
Can it update without resetting everything or does it have to reset every time I update the rom?
[Captivate Android Development] gotcivic:
having issues...

ok i flashed clockwork...installed from sd...it kicked to installin cognition...and then finding update package.....now its just sitting there...
[Captivate Android Development] cappysw10:
When I went to wake it up it was off. Only happened once but it was after I flashed this from B2.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Don't worry. I have had this happen once before.

If it says it is "finding update package" then it has not started to write anything yet.

You can pull the battery and go back into recovery and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
Just wanted to drop by and say hey good work again Designgears as usual and the rest of the team contributing. I've been busy lately haven't had time to drop in and do things, but I would like to say I've been keeping up with the ROM updates and love it so far.

Between releases they are mostly stable and run fine, besides small battery issues.

My main concern is the Mis-texting issue. My girlfriend's Captivate has the same issue. She just got a Captivate the other day and I flashed her phone in the proper order and got her 2.3b8 as well.

Ever since I've been using Cognition I've had the instance of mis-texting.

Condition:

1 - Open new text message (write text message to person A)

2 - Text person A

3 - Receive text from person B

4 - Click notification from dropdown message from person B

5 - Reply to person from dropdown from person B

6 - Text message is sent to person A

This happens a lot and can be a troublesome thing...especially if a mis-text goes to a person...well you get the idea. Any idea on how to fix this? I never had this issue on stock rom.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
IF (i stress the IF) i remember correctly, the fix is not to reply directly from the pulldown menu. Go to the messaging app, either thru the app drawer or a shortcut, and I think it will be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] Verysafety:
I know that's the way to do it, but subconsciously teaching yourself to do it everytime is a feat within itself when you've been doing it one way for so long. Just a wishful thinking fix I would like to see (as well as others I assume lol)

Really tacky when you're texting your woman and it gets sent to say like, your roommate or something. Awkward moments ensue. Haha.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
try SMS Popup notifications instead. the notification issue with sms has been a known issue since the first leaked 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Yeah, I totally get that it's hard to adjust to a different way of doing things..... and I believe it does not exist in the perception builds..... I have never noticed, but I dont reply from the pulldown =P
[Captivate Android Development] Blueback22:
Maybe this is a newb question, but where might I find these files? Would I be flashing these files through CWR?

I am fairly new to this, but I am learning.

I am running B7 with the modem and kernel fix. My GPS will find about 7 satellites when in LBS test mode, but I cannot obtain a lock. Prior to Cognition, I was just running a port of 2.2 and I could get a lock in about 10 seconds.

I tried the 'fix permissions' in Rom Manager, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Time to flash again...

Well, I was able to get Beta 8 working on my phone and (most) everything is working, but I have 2 problems:

1) I am not seeing all of the applications in the market. As I said before, I was having trouble with beta 7, but when I had that installed, I was able to view and install the application "can knockdown". Now, I can't find it in the market, even when I give it the appbrain QR code. Anybody else with this problem?

***EDIT*** SOLVED - Clearing the "Market" data cache took care of this problem.

2) This is the biggie... I can NOT get any kind of a GPS lock AT ALL. I have toyed with all of the available settings (including the *#*# menu) and it gives me nothing. Google Maps says it is waiting for my location, and eventually tells me that it is temporarily unavailable.

Anybody else experiencing these problems? Any suggestions on a fix?

At a standstill....But I will tell you locks on the move take longer but they do stick for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Dell2:
Hey guys this is not GPS related, my GPS works well enough. But my actual Navigation app is broken, its stuck at checking for navigation availability loop. Just checking to see if this is a bug that comes along with 2.3b8

Edit that post, its not the navigation app thats broken, its the accelerometer thats broken. Any application that uses the accelerometer has issues.
[Captivate Android Development] Blueback22:
Thanks. So I read that forum and I didnt understand most of what I read. I am trying to figure out which files I should flash. This forum someone mentioned using the gpsjm9.zip and the gps_fix_epic_signed.zip files, but there is also an AT&T file on the thread you sent me to. Which to use???

Thanks!!!

** update: I flashed the AT&T version to see what happened. I was able to get a lock pretty quick. I dont know how accurate it is yet. I will see tomorrow.
[Captivate Android Development] JWFoxJr:
Ok, I think I've done something wrong with my Captivate. I flashed to 2b7 non OC/UV, but my CWM is still green, not red. Also when I try to download a newer recovery like 2.5.1.4 it tells me that the download failed.

Anyone have any idea where I went wrong?

Thanks.

Oomph restore the contacts storage, not the contacts app itself, that is what is causing your force closes. Never under any circumstance restore system data

Fixing the nav app and how to improve gps functionality

Alright, Ive read the last few pages and quite a few people have had a problem with the gps not getting a lock (and maintaining a lock).

First, jump into the phone settings, hit Location and Security and make sure the top three options are selected (Use Wireless Networks, Use GPS Satellites, & Use sensor aiding).

Then hit up the marketplace for an app called GPS Status. After downloading the free version (if this works, I do recommend buying it), fire it up and hit the menu button, then hit Settings. Hit the GPS & Sensors option and in the new screen, tick the first option (GPS required), tick the third option (Lock to GPS Speed), tick the fourth option (Filter the GPS Speed), then select the second option (Auto-download AGPS data) and select 1-hour, and lastly hit the bottom most option Sensor filtering and set this to either medium or strong (mine is set to strong).

Now hit back on your phone until you are looking at the main program and wait for it to get a lock on your location (you will know you have a lock when the bars underneath the compass turn green).

Now, WITHOUT EXITING the GPS Status program, hit your Home button which should take you to your phone-top, from there, launch whatever app you need for gps and see how that works.

You may need to change the option in GPS Status option for Sensor filtering if you find it looses your location or appears to jump around.

Now, the second problem, the Navigation app not loading. The problem (I think) is that there is an allow / decline box that is not appearing. The way I fixed this was by jumping into the marketplace and uninstalling the Maps updates (from the marketplace mainscreen, hit your menu button and hit My Apps, then scroll to Maps, then in the upper right corner there is an 'uninstall updates' button, hit that). Then, simply exit the marketplace and go back into the marketplace and install (or re-install) the updates for Maps (same process you normally would do to update your apps). What should happen is, you will now get a window that has an allow / decline box, hit allow and the app should work correctly.

[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Speed issue?

Would there be a reason I would be seeing much slower speeds than someone else who, just for example, has an iPhone?

AT&T just recently, a few days ago, turned 3G on in our area (about time!). I wasn't noticing a huge speed increase so I ran some speed tests and find I am getting download speeds between 700Kbps and 1Mbps. Someone else, who has an iPhone 3GS, said they get download speeds of 2.5Mbps-2.9Mbps. Why am I so much slower?? I am running the JI6 modem, by the way, and am on Cognition2.3b8.

I've used two different speed test apps - the SpeedTest.net one and one from Xtremelabs. Is there another one I should use?

Any ideas why my speeds would be slower than his?

Thank you!

Anyone know the MMS fix? Is it fixed in this new release? Just wonderin cause im running b4 and i cant send or receive mms to save my life. If its fixed in this newer one, i just install the rom just like normal right? Thanks guys.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Well I've heard this as well but seems that would be risky for AT&T to do...seems it would open them up to a lawsuit or something since we are all paying the same price for the same advertised service, regardless of which smartphone we own. And it seems all I read or hear are rumors of it, obviously there is no documented proof (that would really open them up to lawsuits).

I'm just wondering if there is something I need to check or something I should do on my phone to enable the fastest speeds. I'm fairly new to Android and just flashed Cognition for the second time (i.e. b6 and now b8) and want to make sure I'm not missing something.

Slow loading

Anyone else find that this laucher takes an insanely long time to load?

If I use the launcherpro app, it just takes a minute (at most) to load, but with the default laucher it takes upwards of five minutes. The launcherpro app force closes a lot on this rom for me, so that's not an option. Once loaded, it's wicked smooth and fast, so it's not a huge deal.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
I've noticed that with the stock launcher also. I use Launcher Pro Plus and do not have any FC issues.
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Yeah, the one thing you could do is install a Vibrant or i9000-based ROM to add back the one thing AT&T did definitely withhold: HSUPA. The 'U' stands for upload so it's only supposed to affect upstream bandwidth, but some people have reported download improvements as well.

It would be funny/sad if a HSUPA-enabled Captivate modem appeared just when a Verizon iPhone does...

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Nice but those settings are usually what cause the jumping around and loosing locks with the gps and no one fix works the same per phone. Sensor aiding lowers the gps power used by guessing where it's at more instead of actually looking where it's at with the sat signals.

Same goes with the use wireless networks, that only works if the service provider has up to date info and or actually provides that service and it's just another way to get a quick lock which is almost always inaccurate because it's either looking at outdated provider info or guessing again using cell tower triangulation and there you are still moving when your at a light.

GPS lock should take a little time for the initial one (Check out any TomTom, Garmin, other phones, all take about a min +-) but your position after that lock needs to stay within the accuracy level re: 5m or whatever. After the initial locks it will be quick because it now has info on its position. Quick locks while going 5 mph at your office desk are worthless.

For real gps info check out this guys work: -very current and active-

Or you could just get GPSRestore from the market (it's Samsungs app for the captivate to fix the GPS), turn on GPS, go outside and let it do its thing.

Before 0 lock seeing 6 sats after 1 min outside. After lock in 6 seconds with 10 sats outside and lock with 7 sats in 15 seconds inside.

You should see H for HSPA (High Speed Packet Access) which can go up to 7.2mb/s (I get around 3mb/s with 99dbm and 8 asu - that's 3 bars from the tower)

I'm using an i9000 rom, so I don't know if the modem is compatible with the Cog rom (probably is). But, basically - if you get the modem (search the captivate threads) you will get faster speed. See my siggy for the modem I use. Or look in the modem thread.

It's not compatible. To use an i9000 modem you need a full i9000/Vibrant-based ROM and kernel.

File system ?

Which file system is being used internally in 2.3b8 ? I tried to copy a 5.5 GB file into my phone, into /sd and it is unable to do so. 4 GB is the maximum size that gets copied. Does 2.3b8 use FAT 32 by any chance ?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
The file system type is vfat for /mnt/sdcard and /mnt/sdcard/external_sd, so it probably is some version of FAT32.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I don't think HSDPA is enabled on this ROM, so you should see no H.
[Captivate Android Development] Srikar_NBK:
Thanks for the input. Does the 2.2 Froyo and the kernel also use FAT ?
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Well, it really isn't Froyo/kernel, it is what the devs put on there. By default Samsung uses rfs, which basically sucks. If you are using Voodoo (which most Cognition ROM's do) you are mostly running ext4, which can handle HUGE files.

I suspect the reason for FAT32 on the file system for the internal and external sd cards is for interoperability with windows/xp/vista/7/mac/unix systems. That is pretty standard.
