[Captivate Android Development] scoliosis:
Must have been a fluke. It worked all day today.

Also what's the deal with this Remote SIM thing when the BT stack is active? When I stop BT, it says "Remote SIM mode. Bluetooth is connected with null." in the ongoing Notification area. If I click it, it asks if I want to deactivate remote sim mode. I can select Yes, but it doesn't actually die.

--- Nev mind found out what it is ---

Remote Sim Mode or Sim Access Profile is a bluetooth profile that integrates the phone in to the car's telephone system. Previously, with most bluetooth profiles, the car used the phone's aerial and communicated over bluetooth. This sapped battery life and was prone to connection dropouts.

With RSM or SAP, the car's telephone ECU scans the SIM card in the phone and gains authorisation to use the SIM card, remotely, within the car's telephone system. So the phone now has no more use other than granting access to the SIM over bluetooth. The network communication and any other hardware on the phone is not utilised. This improves battery life and call quality, because the car now uses its own aerial and doesn't have to communicate over bluetooth. Also, the car (depending on manufacturer) can receive and send text messages.

Install 2.16 ... boots to black screen .. backlights on

I'm just curious if the above described symptoms are normal, or if it may indicate a problem. Specifically, this is how it goes:

Install Cognition 2.16

Select reboot from the Cognition Menu

Phone appears to be booting fine

It ends up on a totally black screen, with all 4 backlights on the buttons at the bottom on

I don't recall if this happened the first time I installed it. But this phone has been having the backlights stay on when I put it in sleep mode. So, I went back to stock, and it seemed to stop. So I installed 2.16 again and had the above symptoms. (Actually, I originally installed 2.17... but having 2.16 on my phone, and not experiencing the backlight problems, I decided to go with 2.16 on her phone too).

On initial inspection it appears to be working right. If any of you experienced any of this, I appreciate your feedback.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Sometimes during the first reboot after installing Cog 2.1.6 the screen will hang at the black screen. Just pull your battery and turn on your phone, and you should be good to go. It looks like you've solved it, but figured it would help you to understand it's normal for it to hang after the first reboot.

tried searching but does anybody else have problem with launcher pro FCs after a reboot or randomly?
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Launcher pro freezes for like a minute after reboot. But it doesn't actually force close. I get a few random fc's on other things but never really launcher pro
[Captivate Android Development] nammyczc:
hm, it got so bad I had to switch to ADW launcher to avoid the FC's my phone wont even show the background wallpaper after a reboot with LP
[Captivate Android Development] Rockliveson123:
Wow. That's bad. And im assuming you've tried unistalling and reinstalling the app. And clearing data in program manager.

[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Seriously? Just make 5 shortcuts to those items on your homescreen. No reason to replace any apk. Unless I am misunderstanding your question?
[Captivate Android Development] H03!:
i mean the dock, not the icons in the dock ^^

does it works on awesomecogniton?

edit: AAAAAND the status bar looks cool!

but its not done with changing an apk or something easy like that i disclaim it! :)
[Captivate Android Development] magistrateee:
The docks are ADW launcher.you can also do it with launcher pro. Play with the settings of those apps.

Status bar - look for themes. Minimalistic is a good one

I have the same problem with LP crashing on reboot but no other FC after. It makes booting a little longer but otherwise everything else works fine
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
Yup, ever since Beta 5.5 Launcher Pro crashes on boot. It gives the option to "force close" or "wait". I choose "wait" and then have no issues after that.
[Captivate Android Development] tonyc0642:
I've been running beta 6 since it was released with no LP crashes or force closes whatsoever.

I had varying battery life ROM to ROM until I started only flashing when I was at 100%. I even pull it off charge, put it back on until it says it a second time and I have had zero battery problems since I do it this way. Technically, there shouldnt be anything different in doing it this way than charging to 100% and deleting battery stats though to reset it as a new ROM would.

I found LP hangs up on reboot if there are updating widgets on the home screen, like clocks or weather.
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
What would be the best way to go back to beta6 or 5.5 from 7?

Having email issues
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Flash to stock, master clear, root, ROM Manager back to whatever version you want.
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
I seriously have to flash all the way back to stock and reroot? Thats a ton of work to just go back to 5.5 or 6
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
No one stated it would be easy to play with roms. Get used to it. Or go back and stay with what works. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Then don't flash your phone. ;)

Seriously, it doesn't take long at all to go back to a state you were in as long as you back up everything. I make TiBu backups, and then copy everything to my PC first, before I flash anything new. Then, I keep those items on my PC until I am sure the beta I flashed is working fine for me. That way, if I encounter an issue I can't fix, I have a way to go back.

It never takes me more than 30-60 minutes, and in all actuality, I don't think it even takes that long. In fact, the next time I flash, I'll keep total track of my time it takes to do it.

EDIT: Sparker said it much more succinctly. ;) I just tend to ramble...:)
[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
Well I have no problem doing all that as I always have however the problem I seem to be having is my gmail is not syncing right. For example marking items read on the phone is not marking them read in gmail. Its like there is a severe lag between the 2 which did NOT happen on beta 5.5. So hence why I am saying it might be alot of work
[Captivate Android Development] sram21092:
is anyone else having problems with launcherpro? first time i flashed beta7, my phone booted to a black screen with no navigation to settings or apps. i flashed again and it worked, but when i woke up my phone was off somehow, and when I turned it on i got the black screen again. rebooted and then i saw my homescreen again, but then launcherpro crashed.

any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Do you have autosync on for gmail? Just want to make sure. Not inferring you may not but just check. Also I am uploading Odin 5.5 and 6 right now to a hotfile link I will post it when its up and you can flash to either of them alot easier then the hoops you say you jump through

I've rest my battery following all the tips I can find, and I'm still losing 8% per hour on avg. this is mostly on standby. my display is set to 10% brightness and I have wifi turned off. stats says display is 87% of drain. Is my battery just hosed? this phone is only 5 days old btw.

Does anybody know why when I flash to anyone of these froyo BETA's I don't have the option to 'clear cache' from my market?

the only option I get is 'clear data', I never get the option to clear cache, it just stays grayed out and I think that's why my downloads are slow as Sh#t.

As soon as I flash back to 2.1 market is normal and I have the clear cache option again.
[Captivate Android Development] toby12188:
if i flash from beta6 to beta7 with clockwork will it wipe my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Any flash will clear you phone of its installed apps and settings. So do a TITBU app+data but not app+system data then restore app+data after you reflash
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I think I may have not undid OCLF. My system memeory only shows 3.46meg. Anyway to get rid of the partition?
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Doing a master clear with one click could very well clear it up.

Clear data replaced clear cache in Froyo. I got the market stalling issue with every 2.2 beta. Clearing the data always fixed it. Try it.

Awesome, VPNC (VPN Connections) Works!

So, I'm using beta 6, and got VPNC (VPN Connections) working, allowing me to connect to a Cisco VPN.

Had to use a terminal to insmod tun.ko and sideload the app, since it wasn't in the market, but it works!

Oh and I connected via wi-fi. After disconnecting from the VPN I had to turn my wi-fi off and then on to get websites to load again (I assume it was a problem with the routing tables).
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
Seriously, where is this discrepancy coming from? I can't make it through a full day. I certainly got better battery life on 2.1.6. I've read through all of the battery calibration threads. I'm on beta5.5 running a calendar widget, zeam launcher w/ tp removed, one exchange account, one gmail and one pop3 email account checking every 30 minutes.

I understand you can't just take this information and give me some magical answer, and I know this has been discussed before, but it just baffles me as to how someone can get 2+ days of battery life whereas I can't make it to bedtime w/ out hitting up a charger at some point throughout the day, and we are supposed to be running the same software on the same hardware. Is it simply a matter of usage, that what you consider "moderate" is different than what I consider "moderate?"

Mode AP how to change subnet

I think the problem is the subnet Mode AP use 192.168.43.0/24.

how can I change it to 192.168.1.0/24 ?

using this android-wifi-tether works, but why use this if there is a Mode AP embebed in ROM.

[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
Thanks for those I could definitley use them! Yes I have sync on...perhaps I need to do a master clear first? It is a very strange email issue for sure
[Captivate Android Development] bettingpython:
Not a fan of 2.2.B7 been running it a couple of days now system performance is overall slow, random hang ups to blank screens and have had to restart it a couple of times a day.

Odin back to 2.2.B6 until we get some more stability.

As far as complaints of email, text and MMS issues I call BS I had no issues there.

DG you do good work more whiskey money coming on payday.
[Captivate Android Development] SkitchBeatz:
does Launcher Pro have better performance now that it is a system app instead of sitting on top of touchwiz?
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
You should maybe try a Master Clear (if you haven't already) and then reload Beta 7. Mine was plenty snappy with no lag fix after doing that.

Also, thanks DG! (I'm going to try to thank you in every one of my posts in this thread) :D
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Thanks so much, yes, I was looking for verification that it was OK.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I agree. Even stock i could never acheive that. Really strange!
[Captivate Android Development] n19htmare:
It can. You just have to NOT use the phone or use it minimally.

I've worked 8 hour shifts where I maybe sent a couple of texts, and after 8 hours my battery was still at 96% or so.

People getting two days of battery life are simply not using or HARDLY using their phones.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Well, if people want to investigate, first, we shouldn't pollute this thread. Look at starting a new thread.

That said, I'm going to now pollute this thread. :p

Second, let's bring some rigor to the measurements. For those getting short times/long times, use the battery usage, and look at/post the usage for each item. For example how long was your display on? Wi-fi? Bluetooth? etc. Using terms like moderate usage doesn't really give anyone an idea as this is subjective.

Finally, I'm going to to try a reset of my batterystats.bin before posting my stats. I want to start with a clean slate.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
personally i like b6 better than 7. also someone asked a nice question a few pages back.

does launcher pro run faster/better now that it is a system app rather than sitting on top of TWiz?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
This is better than stats. Was a light use day for me for sure. But the graph shows device usage going nuts when i didnt touch it. Then it was a random shutdown until i tried to make a call and noticed it :eek: But then you see how the batt just goes nuts? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] djtama:
I know this is probably a blasphemous question... but what if I want to use TW instead of LP? Is there an apk I can install or some instruction to put it back? I kinda like TW, but then again, thats what I'm used to... :o
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I have seen the apk on the forums before. Just install it and delete Lp. Should work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Touchwiz is still firmly in control of your phone....just the launcher apk was removed.

[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
Upgraded to b7...

Upgraded to b7 last night and it's the best ROM I've been on so far. No more lockups as with 2.1.6-7, no bluetooth pairing issues such as with 2.2b5.5. I will say that I liked the email app on 5.5 better only due to the fact that it didn't allow my email security admin to require a PIN to access the phone each time.

I am experiencing the lag that everyone talks about now though. I think I may have a different perspective than some. While the phone wasn't exactly lightning fast before on previous ROMs, it was never really laggy when starting apps. I've never used a lag fix so I don't think the lag fix is necessary to fix this issue. I'm going to try first resolve with another master clear or something.

Just as FYI, my quadrant scores have been in the 950 range on all ROMs and lag only occurring now.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
OK. I can not figure out how to Master Clear. I have debugging on and when I reboot there is no option for Master Clear. There is reboot now, clear cache, clear data and format sd card. Could someone please help?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Master clear is done with ODIN. Leave phone on, open odin, plug in phone, com port lights up, hit master clear, this will wipe your internal sd so backup anything you want first

[Captivate Android Development] JPxM0Dz:
I agree 100%, 7 was a step back I think
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
You can Master Clear the phone several ways...

If you have the phone up and running you can go to Options and click on: Menu -> Settings -> Privacy -> Factory Data Reset.

Or if you have ROM Manager - you can have ROM Manger reboot into recovery and do it under the Options there as well.

And of course you can Odin 1 Click it - but I'm not sure if you have to be in DOWNLOAD MODE or have the system up and running to use that command.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
To use odin the phone is on....not download mode...you can also do it using the dialer but most are referring to master clear in odin and they get stuck because flashing with odin is done in dl mode and master clear is not

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] KewlRobD:
You can also use the master clear command by dialing *2767*3855#. Just make sure you are ready to do a master clear. As soon as you type that # the phone enters master clear and everything on your internal SD card will be wiped and reset. To be clear there is no confirmation after typing the command.
[Captivate Android Development] crupp:
I have run a master clear. how can i check if OCLF is now gone?
[Captivate Android Development] bettingpython:
OCLF is still there, master clear did not repartiton your card, but the application no longer realizes that it is there because the cache and record of it's actions has been deleted. This will cause you issues, your option now is to flash back to stock, then reflash to your chosen flavor of 2.2.B?

I have actually read the FAQ and find it very confusing on how to flash 2.2.1. No problem, i'll figure it out
[Captivate Android Development] bamathrasher:
Im in the same boat, I just downloaded the JI6 exe from the thread, and ran it, so im sitting at stock Froyo 2.2, and Id like to put Cog 2.2 on here, but from what I can gather, you have to root first like always, which involves a series of adb commands when I dont want to fool with, and then this kernel swap stuff makes me weary.

I think Ill just wait for a noob friendly method and enjoy stock Froyo for a bit. It hit over 1000 on quadrant earlier, not bad.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
What is confusing about it? It is very detailed. You need to download the zip and place it in the root of your phone, flash back to stock using Odin one click, then get your phone into Clockwork Recovery screen and choose .zip from sd. Before you do anything you have to first download and Install ROM Manager from the market, dnated version, flash with ClockworkMod Recovery. If you are using voodoo lagfix you must disable it.

Sorry not being a ***** but this wouldn't be a 350 page thread if everyone would read the OP and the fact sheet provided and stop asking the same questions repeatedely with sorry to ask in the first sentence. Read people, if it's that confusing you shouldn't be doing it, just saying.
[Captivate Android Development] captidroid:
I'm getting the same "error in server response" when trying to send MMS. Went to stock 2.1 and was working fine. Used ROM Manager to install cog2.2. put in gmail log in info and synced contacts. selected a picture and get that error when trying to send.

friend of mine has same build and it works fine......does it have to do with gmail syncing? any help is greatly appreciated.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Wrong. Go back and read the Facts sheet in the OP, you need to be rooted running stock jf6 to use Cognition 2.2. Seriously, everyone please read the facts sheet and read the thread and by the time you finish reading you will know what to do.
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
It is really alot more simple then you guys think with a little reading and some time. I have never touched an android device before this, never even put it on my HD 2 so I am a NOOB and I did it.

If you are on 2.2 already then you have to go back to 2.1 and root (psst search for a one click root) then use rom manager to flash Cog 2.2 not that hard really just looks that way. I would get real comfortable with 1 of 2 things. 1. ADB or 2. Running stock
[Captivate Android Development] bamathrasher:
thats still confusing.. what the hell am I flashing back to stock if Im already on stock 2.2 froyo? I just used the odin method for it, and from what Ive heard, clockwork doesnt work on it, and I couldnt get it anyway because my phone isnt rooted.

Thank you to the two previous posters for clearing that up! So use odin-one click to restore JF6 stock, then root it, install clockwork and install cog2.2 from clockwork recovery.. Thats a lot easier then I was reading into. Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] wpb2:
I feel your pain bro! Just flash back to stock JF6. Then root the damn Captivate. Install RomManager/ install Clockworkmod. Then put Cognition 2.2Beta on your internal SD.

Then go to RomManager, and select "install ROM from SD card" then select Cognition 2.2Beta.zip.

Thats it. If you have problems (like I did). Reboot the phone, and start over. It worked for me the second time around.
