No, you don't have to pay a fee for Google Navigation. Love that app.

Sounds like you have very good GPS performance! (wish I did.)

With the stock ROM I was using an external GPS (QStarz BT-Q1000) and the "Bluetooth GPS Provider" app. After restoring that app with TiBu it runs... but as soon as I switch to another program the device reboots itself. Looks like I ran into an incompatibility of some sort -- is anyone else running Cog 2.3b8 with external GPS?

EDIT: I see that the reboot issue is a known issue and is mentioned on the developer's web page:

http://www.mobile-j.de/snipsnap/spa...h_GPS_Provider_on_Samsung_Galaxy_(Android_2.2)

"Unfortunately there is nothing the app can do about that but some users reported that it helps to toggle the internal GPS (on/off or off/on) before starting the btgps service."

OK. Well... cool. Then I have no unexplained issues with this ROM so far. :)

Is anyone else on this ROM having issues with the Gmail app header not "floating"? I have the newest version of the app, but the header is definitely not floating. It is the only real issue I have noticed with this ROM.

Does anyone know if the devs monitor this thread for suggestions? I would love to get the modified phone dialer without the ascending ringtone in the next version of cog.

Also if cog is HSDPA compatible, which it is, why don't I ever see an H where the 3G is?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
The OP, DG! (dev) does, just search his posts to find that out.

Cognition is not hsdpa capable unless you use different modem and kernel combinations. ;)

It is a Captivate based rom and therefore doesn't have the capability as is. I-9000 based roms are where the hsdpa capabilities come in or with modems+kernels based on them.

Perception is hsdpa capable and build 9.5 of Perception does it well; 5.9 mb down, 1.49 mb up for me, and is very stable as DG implemented only stability updates to it, no OCing or UVing at all. :cool:

As far as the dialer, you can swap stuff like that out yourself, whichever one your refering to might change the difficulty but it can and probably has been done.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
No fee but it does stream the maps through your data connection so how much data you use depends on how much, constant different routes and how far you drive while using Nav. 2GB should clear you though, lol.

Sats locked while moving is the real test not what you get while stationary so make sure you get solid locks while driving, etc. :cool:

zaures this is the best way to master clear

for future refrenced NEVER EVER EVER NEVER NEVER NEVER us odin to master clear. the best way is to go under phone and call "*2767*3855#" if your running eclair but i think you said froyo so it is "*2767*3855#"..... if you need more go to this link http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=721111

...thanks to izmenar

sorry i know of subject but might help those who want to master clear before reinstalling cognition and then flashing some ginger snaps
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
SGS Tools in the market has most of the codes including HARD RESET, # above, and factory reset in a nice GUI interface. Of course Odin can do it with one click too and CWM.

Not sure why you say never with Odin and that dialing the # for a hard reset, which wipes any and all user info, apps, pics, data, contacts, etc. is better but OK. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
I was standing outside last night trying to get a fix and gave up with 0/3 on Cog 2.3b8 so I swiched to Perception 9.5 today and got 8/8 fix in ~10 seconds inside the house. 8/10 a few seconds later. Very high signals. Even the phone signal strength is much improved. Where I was getting 1 of 5 bars is now 3 of 4. I liked having 5 though. Whatever.

It's not a poorly designed antenna at least. It's sensitivity is pretty good. But I'll do more testing. Phone is build 1009 if we find any correlation with all the mixed results. The model number is now showing SGH-T959D now. Fascinating ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yep 9.5 is killer on the gps for me too, always had decent with the jupiter v006 files but P9.5 is a marked improvement.

I think fixes from Da_G were used or similar, at least the jupiter.xml files are remarked with the same notes as Da_Gs att jupiter.xml version from his thread.

This is a good thing as Da_G has been testing at the hardware level and has always kicked butt on his software developments.

I like the new rom works great on my captivate my gps is working better but my blue tooth is not functioning.

Anyone else having major charging issues? I did the bump charge thing and wiped my stats then drained the whole battery and charged it up for over 11 hours and unplugged it and i see 97 percent, plugged it back in and after it says charged I unplug and see 98 percent, unplugged again and at 99 percent and now I just plugged it back in again. How can I get this thing to charge 100 percent without going through all this crap?

EDIT: No matter what I do I cannot get it to charge over 99 percent while the phone is on...

Perception

I want to try out a few other roms and was wondering if I can just install each one through ROM manager over the top of the previous one.

Also, if I want to go back to stock JH7 can I just restore from my backup through ROM manager?
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
How are your phone #'s formatted? They need to be like this x-xxx-xxx-xxxx
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
Let's see, I have ran Cog 2.3B8, tried out Perception 9.5, then back to Cog 2.3b8 *frustrated last night that my wifi kept erroring out*, flashed to Perception 9.5, sim card errors every 10 - 20 minuets, now I am running Cezars JPY and I can say that is better then both Cog and Perception *so far* and no disrespect to DG he makes great roms, just a bit too many frustrations because of the beta froyo. GPS works a lot better, just wish DG would use the i9000 based 2.2.1 *JPY* for perception as well as put the stock Android lock screen, I would be running perception again.

HTH,

Charlie
[Captivate Android Development] MarkPharaoh:
That is definitely not advisable. Even when you're updating the same ROM you should always flash ODIN.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Can you explain why? I've used Odin every time to Master Clear and it's been solid every time. Just curious why you would recommend against this.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Did you by chance restore system data, blue tooth pairings in particular, with TitBu? I have never had good results when I tried to do that :). Try unpairing from the device and flashing JJ4 modem in, then trying to pair it back up. Might save you from flashing back to stock and doing over again, which would be my next recommendation.
[Captivate Android Development] mikewitt:
used a clean install but can try that i guess
[Captivate Android Development] GRACO:
Same here... 99%, but if you see the blue battery icon you will see "FULL", for sure there is something wrong here.

[Captivate Android Development] Death_Keeper:
Same here!

the weird thing is after swiching to perception the problem dissappeared!

and now i'm realy confused, i thought it doesn't matter wich rom you have. and if so, how come there are problems with one of DG's releases?
[Captivate Android Development] leezrd:
why not to use odin master clear

the reason is EVERY time i've tried to use it to MC i just get a hang up on it and after 20 minutes nothing and it has bricked my phone a couple of times but just soft brick except once hard brick and that might of been my fault though. im just saying through personal experience i wouldnt but i also dont really mc when flashing roms anyways i just odin one click to stock rom then cwm it from there
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
They are all "Beta Froyo" if you're running froyo at all on your captivate, there isn't an Official Froyo for this phone.

Perception 9.5 is smooth and error free for me since flashing it several days ago. Sim card errors are from a bad flash or something you installed like the wrong stock lock or something to that effect. In fact the wrong stock lock has caused that very issue for a few people. You need the jl3 stock lock for Perception 9.5 jl3.stock-lock.zip

And GPS rocks, P9.5 uses Da_Gs gps fixes. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You sure you were master clearing correctly?, you can't do it from download mode, you have to be fully booted into the OS. I have master cleared once or twice in over 20++ flashes, just usually don't do it and have had very few issues with roms. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I have master cleared every time without issue from Odin. Almost always, the problem people have with it is as stated above, and people try to do it from download/recovery.

Phone booted and running, with USB debugging turned on. I don't see how it is even possible to cause any damage whatsoever given that circumstance. Perhaps delete something you did not intend, but no danger of a brick.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
+1 Exactly, I've never had an issue with master clear in odin, I just don't do it very often. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
The steps I take are Odin One-click to stock first, once the phone boots the first time, I turn on debugging mode, fire up Odin again and select Master Clear (with the phone on of course). I've NEVER had an issue with this.

What was said above is true that most people try to Master Clear while in Download mode or don't have debugging mode on.

Flat out telling people to never do it because you had a bad experience with it is just bad practice.
[Captivate Android Development] cybercoaster:
Wow - that worked! Why do the phone numbers need to be formatted in that way with this ROM? I dont think it did before with stock ECLAIR, my contacts come my Exchange server. Thats going to be a pain to keep up with and make sure everyones numbers are fomatted correctly. Does perception ROM need the same number format?
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
I've been looking for that stock lock everywhere. Thanks Taz!

The battery was strange on b8 for me too. It would stay at 99 for about 20-30 mins, then 100 and a few munites later show the battery full notification. It's just a display issue.

Master Clear? It's unnecessary. Odin overwrites every file in use. MC just removes extra data created by 3rd party apps and cache. You don't need it if there's no problem. :)
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
Hey Taz,

It is true that even the i9000 is considered beta but more on the lines as the i9000 2.2.1 is an official release just not for the Captivate. I tried reflashing my phone with Perception 9.5 and everything seemed fine until I reflashed the stock lock, but I am seeing, I am going to have to redo the phone again which is not a big deal though. It takes a few minuets and Titanium back up is pretty easy!

Thank you again,

Charlie
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
Quite a few of the Froyo ROM have this issue. I had to reformat about 300 contacts on my Google account. But Now they are all correct so I do not have any problems anymore.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I guess I was looking in the wrong place for this. I have asked about that a while on Perc 9.5 and never saw it. I used the stock-lock from P9 and it worked but messed up the power button menu would be messed up for the reboot, recovery, and download mode buttons wording but they still worked at the locations they should ne at so I lived with it. But long story short THANKS for the link, worked perfectly.

Sent from MY Perception 9.5 on XDA App
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Yes, beta because it's only on our Captivates due to the awesome work devs at XDA do. My phone says it's a T959 so official for that phone, beta for ours as DG has made it work for the Captivate on AT&T.

Make sure you use the stock lock I linked to a few posts back, that one works for P 9.5, the others don't. Only user apps and data with TiBu, remember that. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Glad it worked for you! Always try and make it easier to get a good experience from these roms as others have done for me. ;)

Sorry Cognition users, not trying to hijack the thread with Perception info, lol.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That stock lock is for Perception 9.5, that's what you needed right? Just making sure that you're not trying it on Cog 2.3 b8, wouldn't be good.

I used b8 for awhile, hell used every Cognition that was released, but then tried Perception, while there were some issues, DG nailed it with 9.5, IMO, as he focused on stability for that release. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] CuriousTech:
LOL, yeah. Not gonna put the wrong policy file on this. It's working too good!
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
Well it is working solid after a reflash of JF6, Master Clear, Flash to Perception, I have not flashed the stock lock yet but I will, and for some reason if I use Airplane mode, the phone will come up with No Sim Error when turning off but it was not like the last time I was running the Perception rom that when it lost signal it would pop up. It is working fine. So when I flash the Stock Lock, I will let you know if anything changes.

Thank you again,

Charlie

Well I got tired of waiting for official froyo and took plunge with this rom. Installed it last weekend and been running smooth and fast! Good work guys!

Everybody's gotta start somewhere.

Go read the stickies about flashing and the links in the third post of this thread very thoroughly. The latest version of this ROM is great on battery after you calibrate it, which is also explained on the first page. If you read it all, these guys have made it really easy for us.

I've searched the thread but not found anything that works yet... I've flashed b8 according the directions, almost everything is perfect, except I can no longer hook the phone to my PC via USB... I get an error in Windows (7, x32) saying that the USB device isn't recognized... I've reinstalled the drivers, changed USB cables, reflashed via rom manager, and can't get USB to be recognized... Windows is saying the device caused an error...

[Captivate Android Development] ajreynolds:
I've been running Cognition for a few days now and it's been great. One problem I've come across though is that I can't turn off GPS tagging when I'm using the camera. Searching through the thread I see that someone asked about this but didn't get a solution. I tried turning off GPS completely, but that didn't work. The camera turned it back on. Any idea how to take care of this? Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Did you restore any system apps and/or system data with Titanium? If so you might need to reflash the rom, I say might as you could also replace the camera files and possibly have that work. What's your camera firmware version being listed as? :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] ajreynolds:
When I restored, I only did missing apps with data. My camera firmware is 1.0. I noticed this same issue when I was running P9.5 for a few days a well.

[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
installation aborted...

i'm in the same boat, but stuck in recovery mode.

odin3 one-click seems to just hang, with the last line reading 'master clear started'.

it's stayed that way for over 10min. i'm not sure what else to do. anyone have any suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Yes.

Do NOT Master Clear from recovery. Master Clear is done with a running phone with USB debugging enabled. Separate your devices and start over. Nothing with Odin involves Recovery Mode, I don't think, just USB debugging and download mode.

Posted from an enslaved Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] ooo.stephen:
thanks, i didn't read that anywhere.

i was able to get into download mode and reinstall JF6...whew!

download mode was achieved by:1- launching Odin, 2-hold down both volume keys, 3-plug in usb, 4-insert battery, 5-hit power.

I am trying to use K9mail and my exchange server will not authenticate with my phone. I thought it was the K9mail application but after troubleshooting with the K9mail developer, we concluded that it must be my phone because he was able to get it to work on a similar server and I use to be able to connect to k9mail through exchange on my stock rom.

Is the cognition v2.3b8 rom not complete on the exchange server side?

has anyone had any luck using this rom version and K9mail?
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
I use K9 mail, but not with an exchange server. I've never had any trouble getting it to work with POP3 accounts.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
It won't even work for my POP3 account for work. I just got the stock email app to work for exchange. does that eliminate the chance that it is the ROM?
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
I highly doubt it is the ROM. I know POP3 servers can be very picky with their settings. I don't particularly remember having much trouble setting everything up because I think I got lucky and got everything right the first time. I would check, double check and even triple check all of your POP3 settings and try to modify the K9 settings that you aren't sure about until you get something that works.

If you REALLY wanted to make sure it wasn't this rom, you could try to flash back to stock eclair and attempt to configure K9 there, but I doubt that will make any kind of difference for you.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
Thanks. I got my exchange email to work on the stock email application so I doubt it is the ROM. For some reason I can't figure out the K9mail excahnge settings.

Have you found it to be beneficial to use K9 vs. the stock email app?
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
The only reason I am using K9 is because it supports the ability to Auto-BCC myself so I have a record on my computer of any email's I send from my device. Haven't looked at 2.2's native mail app to see if it supports AutoBCC yet. I am overall happy with K9 and it gets the job done, but it is nowhere near what the blackberry's native email support was.
[Captivate Android Development] arabcamel:
I have found that using android's built-in exchange support that when you send an email it goes in your sent mail folder so there is no need to auto-bcc yourself in that case.

Corporate Exchange?

Hi all,

I just flashed to Cognition b8 (my first flash) and in general it's looking really great. I searched this thread and the web in general in relation to this issue, but haven't found anything that is a definitive fix.

While on stock 2.1, I was able to connect to my corporate Exchange server for email / contacts / calendar without any issues. Now that I've flashed, I cannot connect.

* Domain : user name

I tried "domain\user.name" "\user.name" and "user.name" all with the same result.

* Password

I validated that my password was entered correctly

* Exchange server

I actually have two options here, with different results. If I use the same server I used with stock, I get an error "Cannot connect to server.". If I use our OWA server I occassionally get "Invalid username or password" -- though not consistently.

* Use secure connection (SSL) -- should be checked, but I tried it both ways.

* Accept all SSL certificates -- I tried it both ways.

It's not clear to me if this is "That" email issue referred to on the first page of the thread, but the instructions for the fix break on step one (there is no Email.apk in the system/app folder, though there is just an "Email" file).

Any help would be appreciated!

You do not run Master Clear from Recovery. That is the problem. You run it from a phone that is ON with USB debugging turned on.
