Hey guys, im having a really annoying problem but it isnt just with cognition, it does it with perception too and i dont remember if it does it with stock too or not. When im having sms conversations, instead of our messages being in order like

me: hi

you: hey

me: sup

it does something really annoying

you: cool

you:not much you?

you: he

me: hi

me: sup

just cvhillin

its really annoying cause i have to keep scrolling up to see what the txt message was, is there a way i can change that
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
It's a bug in stock, too.

It happens when you reply within the same minute you got a text from that person.
[Captivate Android Development] hostilebynature:
well ****, im using handcent until that gets figured out...real annoying.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Oh yeah, noticed this in stock too. What messaging alternatives do you recommend?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
I prefer the aosp messaging app

[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
its the messaging app from an AOSP rom

there isnt an install from the market on it, you have to replace the Mms.apk in /system/app/ with this one I am attaching to the post

use root explorer or something similar

i usually add it into the rom zip file before i flash, or i will use adb to copy it over to the correct place.

it has better options, and in my opinion, a better look than the samsung one.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I decided to give the AOSP mms app a shot and I have to say I like it for the most part. My only question is, how can I change my photo from the grey Android to a photo of me? I tried setting up "my profile" via the contacts app but it didn't change anything.
[Captivate Android Development] 3viction:
Ever since I flashed this on my phone, my phone has become a lot less stable. I will be running something say the camera app and it will crash. Or I will just leave it overnight and find that it's turned off and needs a battery pull. Then when I go to turn it back on it freezes before it loads my wallpaper and requires another battery pull to work. Help?

I just noticed I have no 3G connection at all. I had with B7. I'm in Costa Rica, but the same settings that work with AT&T should work in here. Any ideas? GPS performance is way worse too.

Otherwise I'll just move back to b7.... :(

Anyone else have a problem with the phone lagging, especially the touchscreen, when the charger is plugged in? Take it out, smoothe as butter. Plug it in, 5 minutes to unleck the phone and overall lag in responsiveness with touchscreen.
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Ok I got it to work by flashing the UCJ6 modem. This is something that is not mentioned anywhere (probably because everyone knows about it), but I just realized that you can flash modems with CWN. I guess the same applies for kernels.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Sorry if this seems lazy of me but...would you mind posting a screenshot or two of the AOSP version so we can see the differences? I don't like the look / layout of the one in this ROM (assuming it is the default one) but I'd like to see this one...
[Captivate Android Development] hostilebynature:
to be quite honest, i just loaded the AOSP Mms.apk and it does the same thing as well.

Sooo..handcent for me it is...
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
I am not seeing this behavior at all....could you have some bad APN settings that are causing a lag?

let me see if i can get some screenshots for you
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
here is a screenshot of the AOSP mms. simple, gets the job done, and i dont see any of these anomalies you guys are reporting
[Captivate Android Development] hostilebynature:
but im not getting a lag at all, im getting the messages perfectly on time. the order that they're displayed in (not the time or order that im recieving them in) is weird.

with handcent its perfect.

Stability

The last few betas have been extremely "unstable" for me -- ie, the phone has frequently shut itself down inexplicably. Like it won't run more than a couple hours straight. B4-B6 ran for days... Is there any way to debug this and find out what is happening?
[Captivate Android Development] inkykitty:
Thanks for the kernel/modem package. Super convenient and worked like a charm to fix my bluetooth!
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
For some reason it loses its mind with the new release. Go to backup folder name and change:

/external_sd/TitaniumBackup

to

external_sd/TitaniumBackup

That solves the issue.

$400 phones deserve good $3 apps. I don;t understand why people won;t spend a few beer dollars to purchase important apps Like Root Explorer, Titanium, and a myriad of other dollar stor apps that make their devices trouble free and far more useful......Some a re paying $30 a month for crappy 3G data and balk at a $5 app... the cost of a poisonous hotdog at a ball game. or 3 kernels of popcorn at a movie

i am all about helping out developers, but i have absolutely no use for handcent on my phone. i do a lot of text messaging but i prefer a simple app. i dont need the customization that handcent gives me, so i use what works, the AOSP version.

Gingerbread

Just wondering if the developers are working on a gingerbread rom. I've seen some youtube clips showing gingerbread on the captivate, but no full functional.

thanks
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
So should I because I don't send/receive more than 40 texts a month (if that much). But I like the eye candy and the features when I do use it. I really don't 'need" it by any stretch of the imagination. Lately I have been using Google Voice a little for text returns.

I will pay for a lot of applications and donate pretty good sums here, but I will not pay $370 a year for snail data and certainly not the prices ATT charges for simple text communications. $2.50 is plenty for what I do. My carrier (HTC reseller of ATT) has a $2.50/200 text plan and 1/2 price data for a year) so I use it otherwise I have been pay as you go on texting.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I don't blame people for keeping it simple, plain and using what works for them. I do have to shake my head when someone is flashing ROMS and balks at buying Root explorer, Astro or Titanium Back up Pro...or has a "donate to me" button and may not have donated anything significant to the site or a Developer.

i agree that there are some essential apps that people should be purchasing. no disagreement there at all.

titanium backup is a no brainer. i bought astro and root explorer even though i dont need them since i do most things from the command line

I love the ASOP's ability to be all black background, looks great on the SAMOLED.

Only thing I don't like about it is it won't turn on the screen when a text comes in.

Haven't had any out of order issues since using it but to be honest that issue doesn't happen enough for me (I don't usually immediately return texts as soon as I get them, I wait a couple minutes).
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
get an app from the market called SMS PopUp....it will do what you want to turn screen on when a text comes in...

I flashed to Cogntion 2.38b on Friday. As of today, my GPS does not lock and I cannot join my work place's WiFi network (that net mask problem again). Funny thing is, on Friday the WiFi worked fine and asked for username/password authentication to join the domain (it isn't even asking today). Also the GPS worked a bit on Friday. Today it can see sats but not lock.

I don't know whether to set this phone on fire, leave AT&T for T-mo, and get a MyTouch 4G, or try to flash some other ROM. Is there any way on earth to fix these problems?
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Is anyone elses battery draining insanely fast? I fell asleep with a fully charged phone last night and woke up to it at 87% I was like WHAT! According to the battery use

Cell Standby=37%

WIFI=30%

Display=24%

Phone Idle=9%, and this is while I was sleeping with the phone on the nightstand. Any clues as to what is going on with my phone? Any tips will be greatly appreciated thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] Mechromancer:
Yes my battery life is tanking. Do I have to calibrate it or something?
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
Had this problem with b7 (non oc/uv). B8 gives me better signal and I managed to get around 15h of moderate-heavy use yesterday, which I think is a lot.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
Be sure to change WiFi Sleep Policy to "When screen turns off" or "Never when plugged in". By default, it's "Never turn off"; thus you're seeing really large amounts of your battery usage going to Wifi.

Unless you have a huge need for your Wifi to be on when the screen is off....
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Thanks for this Ill see if this is what the issue was. Any chance anyone knows how to get the puzzle lockscreen? =)
[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I read another post saying that 3G data actually drains more juice than WiFi. I left my phone at home today (grrrr) but I think WiFi is set to Always On. I'll check out the battery usage stats when I get home.
[Captivate Android Development] jpbadonk:
I've had better battery life with 2.3b8 than stock 2.1. I did have to recalibrate my battery after flashing, though.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
That is a good point that I didn't think of.

With that said, there are tons of utilities out there to put your phone in airplane mode during certain times of the day (when you're sleeping). I use Tasker and it's awesome. I highly recommend it.
[Captivate Android Development] tinee70:
anyone else missing lbsmod thing i forgot the name but its where you change your gps setting.. and my auto rotate option is stuck cant turn it off
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
It's never going to hurt to calibrate your battery. Charge to full, delete /data/system/batterystats.bin turn off the phone and let it charge to 100% while off, turn it on and leave it charging for a bit. I got like 16hrs of browsing xda, the real web, taking pictures of my son, phone calls and texts, shot a short video, and some streaming NPR audio and only drained to 45%.

I did however just have a fun experience using LbsTestMode where my phone went to boot screen twice (thought I might be looping) for no apparent reason while trying to clear GPS data.

If I can replicate this, I'll attempt a logcat.
[Captivate Android Development] BigEHokie:
I haven't had a loop issue, but certainly have had my phone reboot when I attempted to clear GPS data before. Actually it happens fairly frequently. Sometimes it does, sometimes it doesn't.

:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I believe you should do a restore... just to get everything working; people have had problems with old stuff messing with the new ROM. I personally restored to stock then flashed with Clockwork. And on 5.5, I just Odin'd over anything I had, Odin install is so much easier :)
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I was having issues installing it after restoring apps, and trying to undo it before updating. Similar to some of these below:

Then I saw this post:

And lo and behold, I did have some apps on my SD card. However, they weren't system apps. Angry Birds, Google SkyMap, NeoCore...and a few other non-vital apps. Moved them to phone, and when I swap batteries tonight, I'm gonna see if I still get the errors with OCLF, and see if there is really an improvement for me.
[Captivate Android Development] old Tech:
I'm getting the same issue. Wired headset and BT worked fine on 2.1. Now neither work. Can't tell if it's the Remote Sim Mode Activated thing that is causing it - never saw that before on 2.1. What is that?

Searched everywhere and haven't found any other note of this.

I'm on Cog 2.2 Beta 5.5 - everything else works well so far. Help please if anyone knows a workaround.
[Captivate Android Development] bfara83:
Battery file?

Does anyone know where the file is that I've seen somewhere in the forums that can be deleted to help battery life? I just wanted to see if that would help so the battery recalibrates itself (or at least someone mentioned that). I could not find this info after trying to do a search on the boards for 2 days. If that doesn't help, I may try flashing the firmware again to see if it helps.

I know Rom Manager can do this but I didn't want to try the 2e recovery method just yet to try to install it's bootloader.

I've tried a different battery and I tried the battery methods mentioned on the boards.

Sorry this is way off topic, if anyone gets upset I'll post on the General section but I figured someone here would probably be best to ask.

Other than that, so far 5.5 is working great.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
You're looking for batterystats.bin file located in data/system IIRC.
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
My report on battery (yes another one).

I have never had better battery life with this phone until I installed 2.2 beta 5.5. I just went 6 hours and am at 90% remaining. Granted, this is mostly standby with checking a few emails and sending a couple SMS messages. Before with Cog 2.1.6, I would be around 90% with 4 hours of the same standby/light use. And I thought that was good.

I don’t know if this has anything to do with it but I loaded the ROM the long way. Anytime I saw an option to clear user cache, etc, I selected it during the process. This may not all be necessary but has worked great for me:

- Before beginning, if you run a lag fix, disable it.

- Master clear with phone on at home screen and in USB debug mode using one click ODIN.

- Loaded factory ROM one click ODIN (JH6) (take out SIM and external SD)

- Root using one click root method in USB debug mode

- Installed ROM Manager from Market then flashed clockwork recovery

- Copy Cognition ROM to SD card

- Use ROM Manager to install Cog ROM (if rebooting takes you to stock recovery, boot back to phone and try again. It always takes 2 times to work for me).

In addition to great battery, I also have great GPS. If you have any weirdness on your phone, I suggest following these steps and check the things that weren’t working before installing any apps. I always check GPS, email and battery before I go crazy loading apps and customizing. If you still have bad battery life, try disabling the email if you are using Exchange and see if there is a big difference. I now use Google Apps Premium for my email with Gmail. In the past, I used my own Exchange server but I no longer use it and I have noticed much battery life overall.

In a nutshell, use the long method described and test things out and try to narrow down where the issue is with battery drain if you experience it. If a vanilla install with no email turned on yields poor results, and you followed the long method, I am not sure what the problem could possibly be.

Is anybody else having a problem on 5.5 with Nav losing the GPS after a period of time? Nav is stilling running with the GPS icon gone.

i hit again and it boots up.

help?

ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] sairoland:
My phone started doing that till it just completely shut off and stayed off (3 weeks after buying it)... Took it to AT&T and confirmed the battery was completely dead... it didn't work at all in other phones. New battery they provided fixed it right up and haven't had problems since.

Could be a similar issue?
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Yeah.

There is a known issue w/ a lot of the phones shutting down at random times.

There's even a big thread in general section of the cappy forum regarding this issue.

Do we know the exact reason or solution to this? nope...

Anyone else having this problem?
[Captivate Android Development] johnhazelwood:
First off, I have to say this build is way better than the stock build that came with the phone...Nice work! I've got a quick question that I couldn't easily find an answer to. I connect to an Exchange server at work, which populates my calendar. I've noticed that with this build, 2.2 beta 5.5, I see multiple calendar entries per event. It looks like when someone updates a calendar invite, the calendar invite doesn't replace and instead creates a second invite for the same meeting. Anyone else see this? Any other calendar app that I could swap out with to resolve?
[Captivate Android Development] keitht:
Don't jinx it! :) I'll report back if I have any problems.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Yeah, GPS has been pointless since beta 5.5 for me. Used to work semi ok in the first beta and even beta 4, so I don't know what the issue is. Since it's not a big deal for me its not bothering me much, I figure that a later beta may solve the issue and until then I'll just suffer. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
That's bizarre. Did you clear everything before flashing? Maybe try switching to JJ4 modem, or reflash.

[Captivate Android Development] reinbeau:
Actually Wifi takes more juice, but it's more efficient at data transfer than 3G. I turn both off at night manually (I don't care for Juice Defender or Green Power, I think they messed up the 3G totally) if I remember. Otherwise I just keep a charger handy.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
This happened to me on Axura 2.5.1 and also Cog2.3b8 each time I changed the SUPL settings and went straight to Clear Data. However, this did not happend to me when I changed SUPL settings, exited out of the application, then went back in to Clear Data.

Kind of like an overall refresh, but still saving the SUPL settings.
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
After calibrating my battery, went to bed with 69% battery charge. Woke up 6 hours later with 69% battery charge. Had to wipe my eyes several times to believe it.

However, within the next 30min, it drained to 64% after quickly reading (not sending) 5 email messsages. A lag of sorts with battery stats, perhaps? This doesn't normally happen to me during the day time. Usually just drains around 1% for a task like this.

Still, this battery performance just made top ranking compared to the other ROMs I've tested, and I've had decent peformances from them as well. Didn't think it could get better, but it just did with b8!

Will continue to monitor to see if this is stable through the week...if I can hold off any urges to flash.
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
Mine does the same with the battery, and this has been true of any ROM with a battery percent indicator. Sometimes it just hangs up and needs to be refreshed. I find that if I open the battery usage page, it'll reset the battery meter as well as the battery indicator on SwitchPro widget.
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Yes... the Glass Lock Screen includes the puzzle lock for missed calls/vm and sms/mms...
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Yes, WiFi is MUCH more efficient on battery than 3G.

This is why if you have widgets that download from the Web or emails or Facebook updates or anything else... WiFi should still be left on when your screen is off.

I personally leave mine on 24/7.

Cognition battery life is fantastic for me. Average usage... 5% an hour. Less than that if I don't use it much.

I also have 3G on, auto brightness, I don't have to do any of the other tricks to save battery life. Had 16 hours or so of usage yesterday and only used 30%.
