Cog beta 6 running like a champ for 18 hours. No issues so far, no random reboot or such. Battery still on same charge. My processors is clocked at 800mhz though. Only if we can get hsupa on this thing, the world again will be peaceful :)
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
That would be a negative. It is a linksys router. No issues with my other wireless devices. I've tried reseting the router, rebooting the phone, enable/disable wifi, flash from stock with no back-ups used.
[Captivate Android Development] han.azuki:
so whats the changes to touchwiz launcher?
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Yeah. I use lag fix too. It does increase the read/write speed. My Blu-Ray rips play a lot smoother with the lag fix.

"This server requires security features your phone does not support" What is this? I thought exchanged was fixed? Am I not able to receive email from work?
[Captivate Android Development] coldbeverage:
Where can we get the cog wallpapers?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Depends on your exchange admin.

I have two clients that I get Exchange mail from: 1 works, 1 does not. The non-working one is due to security features they have enabled that disallows any non-company devices from attaching to.
[Captivate Android Development] kdwolf85:
Actually this is another issue that I noticed with my device. My media scanner seems to only really work after 1st boot. If I copy any files to it while plugged in I have to reboot to get them to show up.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
It worked perfectly with Eclair, what gives with Froyo?
[Captivate Android Development] Brass FR:
BRILLIANT!

This was killing me.

My wife has an untouched stock captivate, all the APN and message # settings were identical. None the less, I tried all the suggestions. The answer in this thread was spot-on! Removing the () from the numbers fixes it.

All my contacts were imported from Outlook, which I replaced with Gmail, but Outlook auto-formatted them all with () around the area code.

Thank you very much Chuck!
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Ok here is the sequence I experience. On a reboot media scanner starts up. Runs for a minute then my phone vibrates twice and goes black. After about 30 seconds to a minute the screen comes back and finishes scan. I searched the thread and only found one similar post with no answer. Is anyone else experiencing this?

Wow I must have done something wrong on the builds prior to beta 6. Because i just installed it and its blazing fast. Beta 6 is noticably faster. Can anyone confirm this?
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
I haven't been able to get past the permissions for this. I tried adb, I saw some posts saying that superuser should pop-up to allow access, but it didn't. I also tried some phone side terminals (for example terminal emulator) but they force close before they even start. Any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Well when I did it I used root explorer from the market...It not free but it a greeat piece of software...

Super manager from the market is free, it's not very English but you can figure it out. You have to allow root access in the settings. It has a bunch of other features that I don't really like, like a task manager that kicks in at screen off,,, so I uninstalled after I moved the files I needed to.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
k sorry if this has been already covered. I've tried to search bu I can't find what I need.

when i go to contacts and swipe left on a contact name it takes me to messaging but it won't let me send a message... saying that "your message has no valid recipient"... basically everytime i want to send a message i can't do it by swiping but i have to memorize their phone# and type it in the number in the box to send a text... can't even do it by selecting the contact...

EDIT:ok... so basically i think it's because all my contacts... the numbers are saved without any hyphen bars in between numbers. The phone automatically puts in question marks where the hyphens are supposed to be i guess... I'm still able to text by selecting to the contacts that I saved after I got this phone and has the hyphens in it.... Um... i used to be able to still send texts like this before this last update to beta 6.... any help would be greatly appreaciated... i can't go through like 200+ contacts and put in hyphens...
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
So I gave in and tried 6. Did a master clear because I was hoping it would help with any lags or battery issues and so far seems like that might have been a good idea. No major glaring issues except for one thing: the media scanner takes a long, long time to complete and I can't do a damn thing while it's scanning.That's never been an problem with any of the other versions of Cog, or SRE for that matter, so I'm guessing it's a result of the master clear. GPS seems fine so far, will test driving tomorrow. But so far, so good.

I messed something up in the previous attempts and bricked. Good opportunity to move to beta6 and try again.
[Captivate Android Development] daveyian:
Mine works as it should. It offered me the choice of the built in messaging or my preferred google voice. (F U att!)

You could try composing a new message from within the messaging app and not contacts and then choosing the recipient.

Normal behavior would allow you to start typing the first or last name of your contact you shouldn't have to remember the number in either case.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
the lag on my phone after installing beta 6 has been UNBEARABLE. I'm going to try the voodoo lagfix. This is ridiculous.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Voodoo doesn't work with Froyo...
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
are you sure you have done all the necessary homework. Because as of now beta 6 and voodoo should not be in the same paragraph
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
Maybe try starting over from stock cause beta 6 is very fast. I haven't had to use any sort of lag fix on any of the froyo cognitions. If you are getting that bad of a lag something probably went wrong and could possibly be fixed by reflashing from stock.
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Voodoo lagfix does NOT work on 2.2.

If you're looking for a lagfix, search for OCLF on market. ( Ryanza's )
[Captivate Android Development] daveyian:
Try contact analyzer from the market. It might have that function. Let us know if it works.

edit: contact analyzer 2

edit 2: doesn't look like it will do what you need, If it's simple to open a vcf file and use a text editor like notepad to replace the ( with - then that might be a way to go.
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Did you Master Clear before flashing> If not you have too much on your phone and something is interfearing. You went wrong somewhere, I have no lag, without lagfix on 2.2 betas 5.5. I don't need 6 because I have the kernel for 2e support already.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
Yes, I have. I followed these instructions //briefmobile.xxx/how-to-android-2-2-captivate

but with beta 6. Phone was fresh with nothing on it. Didn't bother to reload anything from my previous ROM, downloaded everything new. I'm tired of looking at a black screen for 20 seconds when Seesmic and touchdown tries to open. It's a pain in my ass.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
well, whatever it's called. I need a lagfix and voodoo is the first thing that came to mind. Should have not name dropped :o
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
I use the Oneclick Odin flash to go back to the original 2.1 firmware. Then I flash to 2.2 beta 6 using the Odin method. Beta 6 is blazing fast for me, much faster than the other builds.

What you are describing sounds like installing beta 6 (which is Froyo itself) on top of stock Froyo. Try the method I mentioned. '2.1' then 'beta 6'
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
get oclf from the market. but if it's that slow w/o it you should start over.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
I went from rooted 2.1 to froyo, since it got cleared, I don't think going to a fresh 2.1 and going to beta 6 wouldn't matter. But I could be wrong.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
thanks for trying but nope. basically in the vcf it just has the numbers without the ? or the -. since there are no question marks in the vcf i can't just do a simple mass replace. I'd have to put them in one by one on every single contact... bahhh this is so frustrating... basically even when i get a text i have no idea who the hell it's from... it just gives the phone number and doesn't match it to any of the contacts... i wonder why this is happening...
[Captivate Android Development] vinunleaded182:
If you ever want to give it another chance, can you try flashing back to 2.1 then cognition froyo using strictly Odin (Do not root or do anything in between). Then report back to us with results :)

Since you mentioned the 2.1 was rooted, it could mean some left over code from your root programs might interfere with Cognition's codes.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
I'll give that a shot tomorrow after work. I'll try the lag fix during work and see how it is. More likely I'm going to redo it, but I'm not in the mood to set everything up again.
[Captivate Android Development] lateralus1082:
Thanks a lot everybody, I appreciate the help!
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Another good reason to go back to Stock 2.1 first is to get your Android ID number so you can switch it later in Froyo. Apparently the leaked version of Froyo that Cog is build on gives us all the same Android ID number and some people have had issues downloading certain apps (storm8 apps are definitely one of them) due to this issue.

There is a way to look for your ID number in the data.img from a Nandroid backup using Notepad++ but I had no luck with that.

Also, coming from stock 2.1 just seems cleaner and less likely to be prone to issues for some of us (self included).

I had just put 5.5 back on my system after going back to stock to get my ID number, and a day after that DG releases beta 6. So I did that last night. In all actuality, it takes less than an hour to backup your stuff, even to a PC as well, flash stock, flash to Cog, and get back to where you were. Not that much time IMO.

While I agree with your point in this post regarding the lag fix, your conclusion that Linpack score of 14 mflops being "more than any other android device. Period" is incorrect. While I really like some of the Captivates features better than most other Android phones, their are several phones that are noticeably faster, my Htc Evo, for example, easily scores 36-38 mflops in Linpack. Just sayin.;)

no matter what i do i still havent been able to last more than 7 hours without the phone running out of batteries under 2.2. ive run 3 different versions of the beta and all of them have had the same results. ive tried doing a master clear and recalibrating the battery. i was previously running 2.1.5 and was able to last close to 24 hours before i had to recharge again.
[Captivate Android Development] dayv:
have you allowed the battery to completely drain to the point the phone shuts off? If you have done everything it may be you just have a bad battery - there have been a couple reports of bad batteries.

Also see this post if you haven't already

Check out his instructions on osmonitor in particular - and get rid of any task killers if you have any.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Flashing ROM's does cause the battery to go a little kookoo. I know you have said that you have recalibrated the battery before, but I would suggest this:

Let the phone die down until it won't turn on.

Then, plug it in and let it charge for a minimum of 8 hours OFF. (I know this may be hard if you need the phone, but try to do it when you're sleeping if you have to.)

Then see what kind of battery life you get.

I have run all sorts of versions of Cog, and while earlier Eclair versions seemed to be OK with battery life, I have had nothing but AMAZING battery life with Cog 2.2 versions. I just had the stock battery last me 21 hours!

(I know it says 18 hours, but it had actually been on with that battery since 8:10am the previous morning. I connected the phone to my PC for a minute or so to transfer the Gauge battery mod you see, and needed a reboot after that.)

I ordered the 2 batteries plus charger from eBay, and have been using those batteries as well with great battery life! I also use that charger for all the batteries, and always let them sit charging for longer than they need to. Usually 6 hours, even though the light turns blue after 4.

It's also not my settings, as I have Auto-Sync enabled, Auto-Brightness enabled, and Wi-Fi or Mobile Data connected when I am awake. I do however turn off Auto-Sync, Mobile Data/Wi-Fi when I am sleeping.

I know that phone calls do tend to suck a lot of charge from the phone, and I don't actually have a lot of calls on my phone. I do text message often, and use the XDA app a helluva lot.

If anything, I would suggest getting the 2 batteries w/charger from eBay. That way you'll at least have extra batteries.

I read in an earlier post of someone who changed theirs using excel. I would imagine he got the spreadsheet from some kinda export from google contacts. Then you just find & replace. Take about 10 sec. You'll have to research how to get your list but shouldn't be that hard.

Have any of the folks who are having battery issues pulled your battery recently? Sounds simple and like it should be automatic once in a while but no one says. I was trying everything with no luck and pulling the battery made most of my issue go away.

Hopefully helpful... i dunno. :p
[Captivate Android Development] ranjo65:
I posted awhile back about having issues with AppBrain and their Fast Web Installer not working for me any longer, due to the change in Device ID with the 2.2 Betas. I can sync my apps from my phone, but am unable to install anything using Fast Web Installer. It's certainly not a deal-breaker as far as flashing the Betas, but it is a minor PITA.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:

[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
Meh. I'm no expert by any means but I imagine this is coded into the ROM somehow. Dunno if you can. (Meaning that DG would have to fix it.) Following thread just for this now tho hopin' to find out! :D

(Short answer: I dunno!)
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
OK, I take no credit for figuring this out. It was explained to me by Msm903 in Cognition chat.

Since it's a leaked Froyo, it doesn't have unique Android ID. If you download Android Device ID from the market and run it, you will see your Android ID. However, it's the same for anyone running the leaked Froyo or a derivative thereof. This apparently caused some issues with some apps developers that wouldn't work on some phones because the numbers were the same. You can check this by finding someone with the leaked Froyo and asking what their ID is. I don't remember what it was, but I do believe it started with a 9.

Now, on to how to fix it. The next time you flash to stock, download Android Device ID, and run it. Then copy down what your ID is. Then after you flash Froyo, you can enter the following into either ADB or Terminal Emulator (which is what I used because ADB never works for me) after entering su. Just make sure you replace YOUR ID NUMBER with your real ID number:

This will update the settings.db file with your correct ID number. You must then reboot your phone, and when you run Android Device ID, it should display the correct number.

It's not a router issue. I had no problems with the Stock ROM or other devices, and this is in a Corporate Environment. There are overlapping APs every 80 feet.

It seems to be holding onto the AP today though. When I got to work this morning, It was "Obtaining an IP address..." for 5 minutes. Then I turned WiFi off, and shut the phone off. Turned it back on, and then waited until it was done doing it's thing, and turned WiFi back on. It found the AP again and automagically connected. It's held onto it for the last 30 minutes no prob (which was a problem yesterday). We'll see how long it stays connected.
