Not to go OT, but do you know what the exact cause of the sleep death is? I just flashed back to stock in hopes of it going away, but no luck. If I am getting the issue with stock is it safe to assume this wont help either? Sorry for the noob question but I am at my end with this phone!

You're right, I meant charging death (altho OC can trigger sleep death too). There's a long thread in the general forum. Upshot: some phones have it a lot, some a little, and some none at all. SetCPU often triggers, but other ROM and kernel things can too. If it happens a lot on stock, consider exchanging the phone if it's new. If it happens sometimes or it's too late to replace, search for an app on the Market called "Captivate keep alive". It actually works.

Thanks. And just like the other guy said, we all have to learn somewhere. Do I need to rename those zip file to update.zip or just leave them alone?
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
The only thing ever called "update.zip" on your phone should be the file on which Clockwork Mod lives.

sms

Ok finally i got cognition to work YES!!!!!!. Just one minor problem with my text messages. The time is all wrong for incoming text messages, and there all going to the top.

Any fix?

This has been discussed -- please use the search. Don't remember offhand.

Use two fingers, one on each side, to pull down on the screen simultaneously. And/or double tap on the location button (top right) until it shows the compass/swiveling view.

cognition v2.3b7 (non oc/ov) is great

i love the new one it is awsome. great job DG. it is faster than previous one and so far so good. im kinda hesitant about oc version cuase tried perception 5 (kept oc at 1.28ghz on captivate) with oc and it kept freezin on me and had to do batt-pul. can anyone tell me if it is doing that with current version like perception was.

Ps. ithought he was using the captivate build not the i9000 i might be wrong about this im kinda new to the android seen
[Captivate Android Development] holeshot77:
LOVE THIS ROM! Thanks.

Now I feel a bit closer to the feeling I had when I had my EVO. It will never be the same, but this is getting close.

Thanks to all the hard work you guys have put in this release to make it good.

:D

How do you copy to /system/app, for me it's read only.
[Captivate Android Development] ihalatci:
I am on 2.3b6 and it works. You just have to zoom waaay in. And it is also only for certain cities. Try NY.
[Captivate Android Development] nonameputs:
So I've been experiencing some weird quirks I thought I should mention. First of all, the other day I was listening to pandora in the car on the way to work. Worked great. Got back in the car to go home and it would only play through the external speaker and not the headphone jack. Rebooted, and it's worked great since. Second, last night I was texting a buddy and then all of a sudden it wouldn't send any texts, just said failed. Rebooted and seems to be working fine now. Just thought I would mention that in case anyone else had dealt with this.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Just flashed this because I was constantly losing service on Perception B9. I noticed that data now reads only 3G. Does this mean I no longer have HSDPA? If that's the case is there another modem available that will give me HSDPA?
[Captivate Android Development] lasersocks:
Is anyone having battery issues with this rom? I am only getting 13-14 hours out of it with normal phone/email/web usage. Is there anything I can do (aside from turning off 3g/wifi, etc) to help out?

Note I am not using the email.apk at all due to the battery drain problem, just gmail.

Anyone else still having issues with Rom Manager? After updating I get "Error whiled downloading from server. Please make sure that you have a stable internet connection, and that your SD is inserted and has free space" when trying to install cwm. Would love to be able to backup my p8 before going to cog again. HELP!

Perfectly agree with this: "Decided I need to keep this rom pure captivate"

Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Ah, there it is.

Looks like I've been running "cognition 2.3b8" for some time now haha.
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
where did u find the change log from.. i checked the site its not there
[Captivate Android Development] vikdmon:
Nice..does it mean that this ROm has the Captivate Lock screen with Music controls??
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
i had the same problem... theres somewhere on here when u can get the update.zip for the clockwork recovery... makes it a little easier
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
I have that but is there a way to back up the rom while in the recovery mode?

...nvm again. looks like I will have to disable lagfix and flash so I don't loose my backup.
[Captivate Android Development] oldbbman:
Thank you DG!!!!!!!:D

Appreciate ALL your work on these phones!

Beer money on the way..........
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
which rom are u talking about.... if your going to install the new 2.3b8 i think u can flash right over the old one, assuming ur running 2.3b7
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
oc and no oc

is there an oc and non oc for this new rom 2.3b8. Just wondering can i flashe over 2.3b7 or do i have to do the whole process with odin3.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
I'm running Perception b8 right now and i'm backing up the rom via the recovery mode, can't I just disable lagfix and flash cog b8?
[Captivate Android Development] antimog:
I've been using b6 with that stock+voodoo kernel and jj4 modem which is essentially what b8 is. It's be working very nicely so far. I had been flashing a new I9000 based rom pretty much daily for the last 2 weeks but i find there is too many issues with most of them so I returned to a Captivate based rom :)
[Captivate Android Development] lasersocks:
Do I have to disable anything to install this from v2.3b7 or can I flash with CWR straight up?
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
I was just going to ask the same question actually -- I am on b6 and flashed the stock+voodoo kernel as well (didn't want to mess with b7 or Perception) and was wondering if there was really any other difference between this config and b8? I've been most successful with trying to keep it as pure Captivate as possible (although I may be tempted to play with some Gingerbread goodness when DG manages to get deep into the Nexus S dump) :D
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
No big advantage to going b8 if that's what you ended up doing. The biggest b7 changes were the kernal changes and stuff, which was pretty much all undone by going stock kernal + voodoo. The other things like the added apps and gingerbread keyboard are all stuff you can get by yourself.

[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
No...and I hope it never does. That "glass" lockscreen is just terrible. If you want music controls on the lockscreen, buy an app called MixZing. It's about $7 if I remember correctly and has a lockscreen widget. It's a million times better than the stock music player (which I haven't used for music since the first week I owned my phone...because it's really that bad).
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
That's what I figured. I went ahead and applied the gingerbread theme myself, and am a Swiftkey user -- so no biggie. I guess I'll just sit pat and wait either for the final Cap Froyo build from AT&T or some major headway on the Nexus S port front.
[Captivate Android Development] kdot25:
is it worth it

im running 2.3b7... should i upgrade to 2.3b8.... is it really worth it
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
You can do the "upgrade" yourself by flashing the supercurio stock+voodoo kernal and a jj4 modem. It'll bring you to a pure captivate rom, which also means no HSUPA or OC'ing though.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
+1 I came back to Cognition from the i9000 ROMs because of the fact that it was Captivate-based...so I am very happy to see that you're keeping it on that path. Also, by keeping both Cognition and Perception going, you're keeping everyone happy. Those that love tinkering with their phones can play with Perception, while those who are willing to sacrifice a few new features in the name of rock-solid reliability can go with Cognition. It's nice to have options. :)

Edit: Also, I should mention that this is really the ONLY JI6/JJ4 based ROM I feel is worth flashing. I downloaded eSPyeL's ROM because it's JI6 based. I was thinking about flashing it but, of course, flashing supercurio's JJ4 kernel and the JJ4 modem. Instead, I decided to stick with Cognition simply because I know I like it. I figured if you kept including i9000 kernels and modems, I'd just keep flashing Captivate ones after flashing the ROMs. :D
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
Very true haha. After running the gantlet of all the i9000 roms out there, I came back to cog because of reliability.
[Captivate Android Development] thecontractor:
I received this same exact error, please advise.
[Captivate Android Development] derechbennoach:
I have downloaded twice install from stock. Same message here.
[Captivate Android Development] thecontractor:
I received this same error under the following flow, after backing up:

1) Restored to stock using Odin, also did master clear

2) Used 1-click root

3) Installed ROM Manager, used update.zip from this forum to install ClockWork Recovery

4) Used ClockWork to install Cognitionv2.3b8.zip

then that error came up.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
Just did the exact same process and I have the same error... This whole Rom Manager broken is really starting to be a royal pain!
[Captivate Android Development] mr. haison:
I just flashed to cog2.3b8 using Rom Manager and had that same error but thank goodness it booted and it shows it is running the new rom. First scare for me flashing roms. What is up with Rom Manager lately.
[Captivate Android Development] c0ldburn3r:
So glad I backed up P8 before this. I don't want to go back to Cogb6, my phone hates every other build. Anyone found a work around for this error? Would love to go back to a Captivate build instead of I9000

Edit: FML! restore won't boot, just keeps looping att screen and recovery...
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
cog 2.3b8

Use update.zip to directly go to CWM without ROM Manager
[Captivate Android Development] mr. haison:
I take it back. . . . it was a bad flash. Using Odin3 One-Click Downloader to redo everything.
[Captivate Android Development] dfresh305:
I dl'd cog2.3b7nonOC and used adb to push it to the phone and then cwm recovery to update it. I'm thinking I'll end up reflashing stock jf6 and then pushing down 2.3b7 again (until 2.3b8 will work)
[Captivate Android Development] rickysa2000:
Bluetooth

IS the bluetooth static fixed in this?
[Captivate Android Development] dfresh305:
Did you get it to flash?
[Captivate Android Development] nonameputs:
Haven't tried it but I would guess so. That was kinda the whole point.
[Captivate Android Development] Death_Keeper:
Hi,

i was bery happy when i saw the new release 2.3b8! immidiatly flashed but i got the same issue - during install i get an error that looks just like what you described (some' about loop termination)...

rebooted the phone and it came up with cog 2.3b8... i just dont know if its safe to stay with it...i cant tell which files were copied... got back to stock 2.1 and reverted to 2.3b6... :(

DG i really hope you can fix it soon.. i'll wait paitantly for now.

Thank you DG and friends!

Yossi
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
oooh, woops, sorry, I had no way to test it :)

should be fixed now
[Captivate Android Development] dfresh305:
Did you already push up the new file?
[Captivate Android Development] PsydePhuk:
I just re-downloaded and it worked now.

Quadrant Scores

I know a lot of people look for it- when comparing phones even though it does not makes sense to me.

But b6 version had the quadrant scores mentioned - and I also felt the quickness in the software/hardware using it unlike b7(being honest)- may be the SCORES MATTER!????

I wanted to go back to b6- again..yesterday- and today I see b8 released.

Any one with the scores/ Feel of it?

Please let me know

Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
I am effectively on 2.3b8, because I had flashed over the Supercurio kernel and JJ4 modem over 2.3b6 several days ago, and then updated to the prepackaged 2.3b7 skipping over the i9000 bits. My quadrant scores have been in the 1500 +/- 100 point range, and more importantly my phone has been working noticeably better in real life situations than under the ole Cogkernel 1.
[Captivate Android Development] dfresh305:
Is anybody else having trouble making calls? Texts work, but calls are nothing but static.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
The reason the scores normally don't matter is the io is highly inflated. Quadrant doesn't check the read speed of the system partition, differentiate gains in the processor, 3d capabilities and whatnot.

The only two instances that I know of where high io matters is touchdown and whole reading huge text files.

PS ext2 gets the highest quadrant score but is the least stable and has file corruption issues.
[Captivate Android Development] thecontractor:
My flash worked now, but I'm having this problem also. I can make calls, but other side gets nothing but static. On my phone, I hear nothing in the ear speaker.

My Quandrant, LinPack and Speedtest Comparisons

Both 1008 Builds, Both AT&T Captivates in the same room at the same time side by side. Tests are with 2 different phones if it matters. Tests in College, Station Texas on 3G.

2.3B6------------------------2.3B8

Quadrant - 1476------------- Quadrant - 1486

LinPack - 13.877------------- Linpack - 14.038

Network - 2256d/318u--------Network - 1600d/500u

Both ROMS out of the box. Voice quality is better IMO on JJ4 (2.3B6). I LOVE the Perception ROMs because of the speed in processing and network but can't stay with them due to the horrible voice quality that is transmitted from my handset. The JJ4 modem is the closest to stock call quality out there imo.
[Captivate Android Development] PsydePhuk:
This happens for me too.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
*sigh*

Fixed, file up. had the i9k modem in there still. added the ji6 modem.

I cannot wait until we have Captivate source for the 2.2 kernel! Then we can make all this work pretty well.
[Captivate Android Development] connexion2005:
Any way to flash the fix? Maybe an update.zip to resolve instead of reflashing the ROM? Of course I'm trying to be a choosy begger here :)...
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Hit up the modem thread, you can just flash those with odin in the phone box.
[Captivate Android Development] ctfeet:
Is there a modem that will work with this that will enable HSUPA? Would like to have the high upload speeds. I flashed the Telus modem which worked ok but when I did that I lost sound during phone calls.
[Captivate Android Development] intellium:
nothing but static in 2.3b8... NOT RECOMMENDED. I'd stick with b7

how about adding hebrew locale? hebrew in keyboard? is it possible?

I grabbed the ji6 zip from the modem thread and flashed from recovery. Works like a charm. Keep up the good work. Not many people could push out updates when they don't even have a working phone. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] sairoland:
Round 3 of b8 is looking good for me so far. It installs and calls work fine :)
[Captivate Android Development] s44:
No, all Captivates have HSDPA (the download version). It's HSUPA (the upload version) that AT&T neutered out. But no, there are no Captivate modems that do HSUPA. Furthermore, you should probably stick to i9000 on an i9000-based ROM like Perception: though some people have had success with the JJ4 Captivate *modem*, using a Captivate *kernel* on a i9000 ROM can screw stuff up.

Short version: Cognition users should stick to Captivate stuff (as 2.3b8 does), and Perception users to i9000. If you have service problems on the latter, go completely Captivate.
[Captivate Android Development] pinoymutt:
Hmm, so here is the next dilemma -- dg mentioned he put ji6 in the ROM, but there is also jj4 which is a "stock" modem for the Cap as well.

Choices, choices....anyone have a strong feeling of one vs the other (only ji6 vs jj4, not all the other variants out there)?
[Captivate Android Development] rajendra82:
Is there something superior about the JI6 modem compared to JJ4? I've been on 2.3b7 + patched kernel + JJ4 modem for a bit now, but am always willing to flash JI6 modem over if there is reason to do so.

battery issue with 2.1.7

I flashed 2.1.7 couple of days ago and noticed that my battery is draining super fast...any idea whats the reason..? I tried recalibrating by: charge full , then turn off and charge full then turn on and again charge full. but no go.

any help would be appreciated. I was not going to 2.2 beta 5.5 just coz of several bugs and bluetooth issues but I guess if this problem continues I will go for 2.2 Beta 5.5. :rolleyes:
[Captivate Android Development] jojobu:
I second this. The AOSP does not have the exchange security features I need, such as a PIN entry.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
How did you do your flash? I am having lots of wonky issues here lately (mostly stalls and lags, even with OCLF). I used ODIN to flash 5.5 after a master clear. I may totally reset this thing back to stock.

As for your specific question, no, stuff I backed up with TiBu seems to work fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ragingclue:
Are you trying to restore only the apps and not the system data?
[Captivate Android Development] silverecho:
I used the ODIN flash after a clear. Hrmms.. any ideas ?

-Eric
[Captivate Android Development] silverecho:
I tried to restore both at first. It would force close. I reloaded the apps from the Market and then tried to just do the data.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
You dont say that you deleted the batterystats file so if you didnt, you should. This is just one way to do it, but it is a pretty easy way. Download android terminal emulator and issue the following commands:

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

I did this with it basically fully discharged, charged to full capacity and now mine is much better. Also, dont fall into the trap I did of constantly checking it cause then the screen is on all the time. Today with very, very light use my battery dropped 3% in 3 hours.

Also, I am not on 2.2 beta 5.5 but rather on 5. I dont think there is much difference but I much prefer this version to 2.1.6 which is basically what your running. If you do upgrade, be sure to do a master clear after you flash back to stock. I really have not found but one issue with 2.2.5 myself (remote sim activate) and I havent seen it cause any real issues. I enable/disable bluetooth a few times and it goes away. There isnt anything wrong with 2.1.6 or 2.1.7 but just saying coming from where you are I think its a worthy upgrade...DG did a great job on it.
[Captivate Android Development] chesus05:
It didn't work, and I gave up with it, so I installed easy-theatre and, as it was expected, it worked. But I'm left with nothing but the desire, because existing the possibility of theatering "natively" and not needing to install an additional software in each PC, it would have been very useful.

Thanks anyway

Btw, I don't use it with at&t

Any ideas are welcome

With Google opening the Market to other countries there is now a paid Titanium Backup Pro.

I have read that people are having trouble installing this is Titanium Backup is installed.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Yea all of the other web sites I try work fine, I only mention it because I don't think I had this issue in v4
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
May I suggest doing your research before you flash next time? I think this is the problem most of us have; people are flashing, or attempting to flash before they've done their reading.

It was removed because it's picky about how it's installed, it can cause several different problems and I imagine DG was tired of supporting it and rooting out those bugs as opposed to bugs in the actual ROM.

As you know the lag fix is available on the market for anyone who still wishes to pursue it.

This ROM is a constantly changing piece of code and as far as I know the same person that controls the FAQ is working on the ROM. I suppose sometimes he just gets involved in the ROM and doesn't think about what he needs to change in the FAQ.

He is great about updating the Changelog however.

We're not in control of the FAQs.

I think it's a matter of people not doing their own due diligence before diving in.

I read this whole thread, before it was cut down, before I flashed and I still keep up with it even though I haven't flashed since I went back to 2.1.6 from 2.2 BETA1.

People aren't even reading the last couple of pages before they post a question, or using the search function.

I can't count how many times I see a question, then see the answer, then see the question again 15 or so posts later. There is NO excuse for that.

Can we let the debate about whether the lagfix is worth it or not just end or move it to it's own thread?

If you want it you can just download it so there's no reason to complain about it not being in there.
