[Captivate Android Development] cumanzor:
I definitely have to take a look at tasker.

On a somewhat unrelated note, does it actually hurt to leave the charger in after the battery is fully charged? Why does the phone insists so much in unplugging the charger once it the battery is full?

What? Where? :O
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Hey guys I just got my Captivate (Rogers, Canada) and the first thing I did was throw cognition on so I would have 2.2 and all these advanced features. Excellent work to OP!

One thing is that my phone process unexpectedly quits on me all the time. Anyone else experience this and/or know what to do?
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Are you having this problem after restoring everything with Titanium Backup, or is it happening right after you flash?

I had this same problem, but only after restoring everything with Titanium backup. I narrowed it down and, for me, the "[SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2" restore seemed to be the cause of this problem.

I am not sure if it will be the same for you or not, but I reflashed and didn't restore that one thing and it seems to work fine. Unfortunately, that is where I believe all of my text messages were backed up, so I wasn't able to restore them. No big deal though.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Well I didn't do a titanium backup from my old phone or from the 2.1 ROM as I wanted to start fresh and I had NOTHING on the phone and had changed no settings when I flashed to cognition... completely fresh with no backups or restores involved.

Hey I also have another question.... what does the download button do in the power menu (when you hold down the power button?)

Thanks for the answer and I'll try wiping my [SMS/MMS/APN] Dialer Storage 2.2 settings if it persists.

AND just as a comment about the phone.... no LED? Seriously? I check for a blinking light quickly from my pocket all the time to see if I have an email, text or voice message.... is there any way to get the bottom buttons to light up and act as a LED would. What a strange decision to not have an LED on the phone.
[Captivate Android Development] delugeofspam:
Just try harder. The sensitive area of the side of your desktop is smaller but I assure you it's doable. Alternatively you could just delete what you're dragging and maker a new one, unless it's a widget with a ton of settings.
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Since you didn't restore anything, my answer shouldn't apply. Perhaps another flash is in order? Hopefully someone can help you out there.

The download button puts the phone into download mode, which is used for downloading ROM's. If you want to flash a ROM without using ClockworkMod, that is how you do it.

Coming from a blackberry, I was also upset about there being no LED on the phone but I got used to it eventually. I don't mind pressing the power button to see if I have anything waiting for me on the notification bar.
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
NoLED or BLN

Yes, I use NoLED (in the Market) and prefer it. There is also something called BLN or something like that; I haven't used it but supposedly it lights up or blinks the bottom softkeys/buttons. However, for me they seem to light up too dim to be useful unless it isn't bright. NoLED uses the screen and displays a colored square or icon (turn on the icons in the settings). You can customize the colors, how often they move, how long they stay on, etc. Check it out...
[Captivate Android Development] kid320:
Isn't your screen on constantly though? I would think that would kill your battery quite quickly.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
There is mention of getting the android.policy.jar file from 2.3b4 where can I get my hands on this?
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
Well it's only on if there is a notification due to a text, missed call, voicemail, or whatever you have it set to notify you of. I don't get an excessive amount of any of those so it isn't a problem for me. You can set it to only be on for a certain amount of time if you desire. In other words, you get a text...you can have it only show the notification for a few minutes before timing out and shutting the screen off.

BLN or whatever it is might use less battery, I don't know. I've only used NoLED and since I don't get a lot of notifications like these it isn't an issue...for me. Might be for some; something to consider. I check my phone pretty often anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] 4got2g0:
Not to insult your intelligence but I was having the same problem prettay much. Make sure data network mode is enabled in the power button menu where reboot recovery and download are. It took me a good while to figure that out.
[Captivate Android Development] kingtz:
problem fixed.
[Captivate Android Development] krips2003:
Unplug and remove the battery. You should be fine.
[Captivate Android Development] cybercoaster:
noob here and about to flash this on my phone. I am hoping this fixes my problem connecting to my Exchange server. For some reason, I was never able to on my 2.1. I just bought the phone a couple weeks a go coming from Windows 6.5 phone.

One question - does flash work on Cognition v2.3b8?

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
Yes on Flash.

Exchange support wasn't in 2.1, but is in 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Quick question for you guys regarding the radio types. I had a milestone before and when I was downloading it would go from 3G to H (which is 3.5g) and on this phone with this ROM it is always just 3G. Is it connecting at 3.5g and that is the only animation or is this ROM not capable of 3.5g as it is an american ROM and Canada's network is faster?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Any help in getting 2.3b4? Or maybe the file to glass/puzzle lockscreen? Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] dizx:
Go here and you'll see a link to old ROMs.

[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
Thank you very much I have never seen that link there must have not read it well enough:D
[Captivate Android Development] Schmarvin:
I love b8. Its working a lot more efficiently now. Or maybe its because I combined it with SuperPower which was made by another user here at XDA.

Also, it seems the GPS locator function works a lot better in this new version of Cog.

I have a question for others who use Cog. Do any of you also use Lookout (Security) on your phone? I'm thinking of getting rid of it because it hogs a lot of resources and uses a LOT of battery. It basically eats away my battery life when at idle.
[Captivate Android Development] sarveshsj:
I just updated my previous cognition version to this one. Its great...

Thanks a lot...

But there is a problem. I can't change the default cognition wallpaper ....

any help would be greatly appreciated
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Bump for answer and also it says that Cognition has the support in the kernel for BLN on the wiki and it was added into it, but not only did my ROM not come with BLN, but when downloaded it says that my kernel does not support it. Whats going on here? I am on the latest beta btw.
[Captivate Android Development] Delicate Donut:
I don't know if this is the right place to ask this but is there a way to use chomp with the glass lockscreen? The puzzle piece I mean?
[Captivate Android Development] Mechromancer:
I went to the AT&T service center and had them change out my Captivate. After two tries, I found one that has decent GPS performance. I will try Cognition 2.38B in the morning and let yall know how the GPS performs.

As for my WiFi issues, apparently Android does not prompt for network credentials as it should on certain networks. Nothing can be done about that atm. Hopefully Gingerbread or Honeycomb will remedy that issue.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
BLN is exclusive to i9000 kernels. Cognition supported it for a time when it used such a kernel.

Cognition is now back to being "purely Captivate" and lost BLN capability in doing so.

If BLN really interests you, check out Perception, also by designgears.
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
Are you referring to networks that assign a netmask that is not 255.255.255.0? If so, I haven't experienced issues there while using Cognition; maybe your issue is elsewhere?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
Thanks a lot for the answer.... do you know anything about my original question?

"Quick question for you guys regarding the radio types. I had a milestone before and when I was downloading it would go from 3G to H (for HSPA) (which is 3.5g) and on this phone with this ROM it is always just 3G. Is it connecting at 3.5g and that is the only animation or is this ROM not capable with 3.5g as it is an american ROM and Canada's network is faster?

Thanks."

Basically I'm asking if Cognition supports HSPA or is just 3G?
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
I'm about 98% certain that Cognition is HSDPA but not HSUPA. The icon will only show the "H" if both are available.

Again, if you're after HSUPA, check out Perception.

Gingerbread keyboard caps lock issue

I'm running 2.3b7 (awesome ROM thanks DG!) and I've noticed an odd bug with the Gingerbread keyboard. Every once in a while when starting a new text message it will be as if though my caps lock is on however the green light that indicates that caps lock is on is off. It's obviously not a huge issue just an annoyance but figured I should at least post something somewhere.
[Captivate Android Development] cawahab:
I really apologize for posting this noobish question on this thread.

But I need someone to guide me to a place where I can get the stock AT&T 2.1 ROM as I have to send in my Captivate because my phone won't connect to any WIFI networks. Currently I am using the leaked 2.2 ROM (http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=797282).

If you think you know why my phone won't connect to a WIFI network that would be much appreciated too.

I am following.ponack.net/how-to-flash-cognition-on-your-captivate/ on step "Now, to play it safe – lets backup our current setup in case we need it to restore from. Scroll down in ROM Manager and find “Backup Current ROM”." The phone rebooted as it says and stuck here -

Installing Muti-CSC

and this is where it's stuck at. I can use the up/down button and chose a menu option. Is it backing up? Is it safe to reboot system now?

Is this normal?

I searched for Muti-CSC and all the searches find is Multi-CSC.

Thanks in advance.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
My network is Rogers Canada which is HSDPA and I never see the H.. I only see the 3G. My downloads are much slower than on my milestone with Cognition when I am on my carrier network and MUCH faster when I am on my wifi. I gather I am not connecting to my HSDPA network then?
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
According to this thread all i have to do is flash via clockwork and im good to go? Im using the Rogers version so it should just be straightforward?
[Captivate Android Development] cwgannon:
If what I said is true and Cognition is not HSUPA, the "H" will never show up on Cognition.

To see if you're on HSDPA or 3G:

Settings, About phone, Status, Mobile network type.
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
You have to root first and then flash. That is what I did and it was a piece of cake. Warning though you might not get your 3.5g connectivity... I don't think I do and I'm on Rogers Canada.
[Captivate Android Development] cybercoaster:
OK, I went for it and restarted, all back up ok. Then I found this on the ROM MANAGER site

"Samsung users: You must flash a Clockwork compatible kernel first (see XDA forums)"

So now I am trying to find out what this means. Does this mean I cant use Rom Manager to install from AT&T stock ECLAIR 2.1?
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
Im actually unlocked and on telus but yea im rooted, Rom manager installed aswell as clockwork. So i just flash clockwork 2.3b8.zip and thats all?
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
even if all you are on is 3g, it will still list it as HSDPA in your 'about phone'

Auto-correct and suggest words problem

Hi, I have a problem. I set the language to Spanish and works smoothly, but auto-correct and suggest words shows me always in English.

Know if this has happened to someone else, or is an unknown problem.

PD: I set the dictionary from the keyboard android options.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] brendanmurphy:
I can confirm what Exostenza says. Download speeds are slightly slower. I was getting 6 mbps on telus on stock rogers rom but am now getting 4 mbps. Also i am still limited to 400 kbps on upload

Cycled battery = all's well

UPDATE: I let the battery drain until the phone shut itself off and then restarted the phone a few times until there was no power left. Then I charged it to 100% and my battery is back to normal. Been off the charger for 25 hours now and showing 24% remaining.

With the battery behaving normally now, Cognition is officially the BEST thing I've done with my phone yet. Love it.
[Captivate Android Development] Selenia:
I have loved your work on Cognition, DG. However, I must ask you why in the world you would go back to using a stock Captivate ROM! Most releases have been progress in the right direction, then b7 was a great leap forward. While b8 is better than b6, it can't hold a candle to b7. It suffers what every Captivate ROM suffers, mostly thanks to AT&T. That is crippled HSUPA(and I was so excited you have that working), crappy gps(again, not your fault but is characteristic of all Captivate ROMs), wifi often not waking up properly(all Captivate ROMs so far). b7 suffers none of this. You also removed having an OC/UV version, which disappointed me. I know many reported crashes, but I managed to solve that by using an alternative app to control the OC goodness, instead of the included voltage control. Bluetooth has worked fine on i9000 ROMs for me, as well. Problems must only be on specific phones. Please don't take this post personally. I would only bother offering this kind of feedback if I use and like the work in question. I am considering donation soon. I am semi-new to Android, but have been a Linux dev for years. Anything I can do to help...just ask. Right now I'm on b7 OC/UV for the above reasons.
[Captivate Android Development] jhernand1102:
If you want all of those feature then you should flash DG's Perception version. It has all of that and more...:)

Is anyone having text messaging problems?

When I receive picture texts, they become a new thread so I have multiple threads from the same person. Does this happen to anyone else?

Also is there a way to enable it so that when you have headphones plugged in and receive a phone call, the call will be head from the headphones and not the usual speaker?
[Captivate Android Development] jeremytanner:
I completely agree with you. There are plenty of ROMs out there that have those features, so I don't think it's fair to knock the one decent "stock" ROM. There are plenty of us that want the stability this provides.

I'm one of those that ran Perception and Assonance, and while I loved those, I found each would become more and more unstable after a week or two of use. I don't know why, but I do know that when I switched back to Cog 2.3b8, everything has been nice and stable since.

For the wonky GPS, I recommend flashing DaG's GPS updates. Mine is now working like I expect a GPS to work. :)
[Captivate Android Development] alabamaroping:
I'm not currently running cognition, so I can't speak to your test question.

However, I tried MANY MANY different ROMs trying to find one to give the headphone capability you're asking about. Also, did a good bit of research....

Apparently, any 2.2 based ROM is not going to send the sound from a call to a standard headset (standard means 2 rings on the plug for left & right output). If you use a headset that has a mic on it (3 rings, one more for mic in), then and only then, the call will go to that headset.

I used mine a lot to listen to music when driving, and then when I would get a call, it was easier to hear over the vehicle speakers than picking up the phone. I still had to use the phone as a microphone, but still easier.

So, I have chosen a hardware solution. The device below is a "Seidio Audio Adapter with Mic 3.5mm Male to 3.5mm Female", I found the best price at mobilecity.com. It will plug into your phone with the 3 ring connection and allow a standard 3.5mm 2 ring jack to plug into it. It has a microphone on it, and so with that you'll be all set. It should be coming in shortly, and I'll let you know if it works if you want to send me a PM.

Yeah it does list the network type as KSDPA, but the icon won't go from 3g to H... is that normal?

[Captivate Android Development] TheBronze:
DG, et. all,

First of all, excellent work. I've been running 2.3b7 for a few weeks now and its super stable. This is my first custom ROM experience on an Android phone and it was fairly easy to make happen thanks to all the smart posts and how-tos out there.

Question/Problem:

I am using ATK supplimented with auto run killer to manage apps/memory like I did with 2.1. I have noticed with this ROM/2.2 that Google Maps tends to randomly start up on its own. I have added it to the auto kill list but it doesn't seem to matter. When I kill it in ATK, it just respawns after a while despite the lack of opening any sort of app that is location based (such as a camera or maps or gps, etc). The question is: Is this just a fact of life with 2.2 or is something else causing it to do this?

I see the same behavior wiht GMail. I don't use it. I have my own personal email and my corp account. I am allowing it to start on reboot in case I need to do the crazy unlocking fix if I ever mis-enter my swipe too many times. I kill it in ATK and then 30 minutes later it is running again. I have set both of these up to auto kill but ATK doesn't seem to be able to.

I guess a bigger question is: Do I really need to mess with ATK or auto run killer with 2.2 or should I just leave it alone and let the OS handle it? I've read many opinions on ATKs, ARKs, for 2.1 and previous kernels but have yet to see a good solid answer for 2.2.

Thanks guys!
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
"Why in the world..." you ask? Probably because he wanted to. If you want that less stable ROM, go grab Perception...it's by DG as well. Just don't question or diss the chef for his great work. Most comments were very favorable when he decided to go back to a purely Captivate ROM. We thank him for that choice!
[Captivate Android Development] ajreynolds:
What are the advantages and disadvantages of Cognition over Perception? I should have asked this question before I flashed Perception 9.5 yesterday. Everything is working fine so far, I'm just second-guessing whether I made the best choice and wanted to get opinions from the Cognition side.

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] TexUs:
I've tried Cog B8 and Perc B9.0

Perception has stability issues, Cog doesn't.

Perception has some i9000 advantages (like 3.5G speeds). Cog doesn't.

Other than that there really isn't any differences that I cared about. I preferred the stability.
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
Don't second guess yourself. I started on Cog and then went to perception, and I personally like the way perception feels and looks. Others like the way cog looks. You.should flash cog and see what you think.

You aren't going to go.wrong with DG's rims, either will make ur captivate do backflips around the stock version of your phone.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
If you're competent at flashing, another option besides going with a full i9000 ROM is to install Cog 2.3b8, disable voodoo by placing the disable_lagfix file/folder in the correct location, reboot (wait a while for everything to convert back to RFS), and then flash a i9000 kernel and modem. I'm currently running Cog 2.3b8 with the setiron_v1.4.3_1200 kernel and the UGJK4 modem. I do this because I like a little overclock with a slight undervolt. Since the setiron kernel is a i9000 kernel, you have to run a i9000 modem with it, hence the JK4 modem.

I've tried running every build of Perception, as well as many other fully i9000 based ROMS, but my phone will always lose network connection completely when switching between 850 and 1900 frequencies on full i9000 roms. Since I live in an area where the phone wants to switch back and forth a lot in my house, this is a big problem for me. For some reason, this never happens with a i9000 kernel and modem stuck into the Captivate based framework of Cognititon. I keep trying other combos, but always end up back here.

Don't know why the colors are off on my screenshot, but it still shows you basically what I've done...
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
Not to get off topic, but at this point I'd suggest using the glitterballs kernel for i9000 stuff. More stable.

Swyped from my Voodoo-powered Fascinate via XDA
[Captivate Android Development] ajreynolds:
Thanks. I'll probably run Perception for a few days then try Cognition to see which I like more. As far as advantages and disadvantages, is there any real difference between the two as far as speed, functionality, features, etc?
[Captivate Android Development] Exostenza:
I have 2 questions.

First is how do I make it so the phone doesn't make the first half a second of the ringtone quiet and second how do I make it not text me when I have a missed call. I already have the missed call in my notifications why the heck would it text it to me also?
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
If you are in a good service area, you might experience faster data with perception, otherwise I feel like both Roms give you equal "unlagginess". After that, I don't really know, I haven't seen anything the really sets them apart for me personally.
[Captivate Android Development] ajreynolds:
Cool, thanks. I've got good service here in San Diego, but I try not to use data on the go anyway. Only got the 200MB plan, so I try to stick to Wifi.
