I am at 9 hrs 2+ of screen time 30 minutes of voice calls. 34% on beta 8.1. I do not think this is terrible but does not compare to what some are reporting. Trying to kill the bat down to shut down so I can recharge for calibration.

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
DG, just curious, what is your day job (if you don't mind me asking)- just wondering how you have the time to keep up with developing here as well as your other full time job.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Question -

Am i the only one who's phone is being mounted to the computer instantly with this release?

Let me explain. I have debugging on, and when i plug in my phone to the comp, it automatically mounts the internal and external sd card.. I have to pull down my notification bar and disable the mount to get into standard debug mode, and then i have to wait for it to scan the cards again.

I have "Ask on connection" for my USB connection type.

I have always manually had to mount it when in debug mode.... not the other way around.

Not a big deal in the slightest... just wondering.
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Go Dolphin's indeed
[Captivate Android Development] KewlRobD:
I just tried it and it does not automatically mount my sd cards. Did you check your settings?
[Captivate Android Development] sschrupp:
Thanks you for this! I've been taking notes and e-mailing myself snippets of posts and links to try and piece together a thorough step-by-step for when I get home. And now your post summed it all up beautifully! :)
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Mine doesn't automatically mount but I did find it weird that even with USB Debugging on, you can pull down the notification bar and mount your SD Card. Strange.:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Go Pats!!!! :eek: ;)

Going to toss this badboy on mine here shortly... I must say I really love having b7 on the phone due to it just having launcher pro.... but I must feed my disease...

How can i get Tayutama's theme on CognitionBv9 and i like the i9000 dialer too, is there anyway i could add that?
[Captivate Android Development] smurfgod:
OK..I just got another Captivate and want to flash the rom.

I downloaded the beat 9 and all i got in the .zip was the pda and pit files...along with the Odin.exe

I added the 2 files where they go, and clicked start...It dosent do anything..lol

Do I have to have it in download mode(adb reboot download)?? I'm comfortable with ADB and have used it when I had the first Captivate I had.

Just let me know guys.

Thanks

Edit: I havent rooted it yet also..Can I go straight to the Beat 9 or do I root first, then flash??
[Captivate Android Development] jatkins09:
Never thought to use appbrain to restore my apps. I use it all the time just to download. I'll give it a shot and see if I get better results. Now that I think about it, I've been restoring what amounts to backups of 2.1 app installs on every 2.2 beta. I'll try a fresh flash and new app installs.

Sorry for polluting the Cog thread with battery issues. I figured the people to talk to are the ones who have been running the same software I have for the last 2 months :)
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
nope, no root required - does your phone allow the vol +/vol- insert usb download mode?

with the phone off (and odin open) hold down vol +/- then insert the usb - you should see download and yellow triangle come up on screen - then press start
[Captivate Android Development] smurfgod:
Thats what I was gonna try..If I can't get in thru the botton combo, can I use the ADB command??

Edit: Got it done. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
yep adb will work too.

I assume the kernel is still not getting flashed by using clockwork? Some have used CWM and claim it worked fine, while others say it didn't flash right.. I don't think I saw DG confirm or deny this yet.
[Captivate Android Development] mfriedman79:
DO you have DoubleTwist or WinAmp Media players? They have an auto-mount option in the settings. Other players may have the same options too so that could be the cause.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Thanks Taz...sorry for the delayed thanks
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Same here. So far its the best i have seen. :D

I would say that your backup has batt.stats and your battery likes that because its not been reset yet with the new flash. Make sense?

If you all notice its like i have said before. With the long post. And no opcow its not WinMo but i have been around the block a time or two. I know how to flash and i do know what i am doing. I can say that messing with kernels and what not i have only been able to get rid of them by flashing stock and doing a master clear. Its cool if you dont trust me or whatever. I guess you have learned alot this month. And if you look at my post again you will see there was no mention of silly n00bs.

And by the way. Thanks DG. This one is a keeper for sure :D
[Captivate Android Development] iceman718:
Most recently, yes. I didn't the first time I flashed a ROM which was Cog 2.1.2 I think, but based on recommendations, I have flashed at 100% since then.

Yeah Fast web installer hasn't worked for me since going to the 2.2 Betas, even with a correctly updated ID, although I haven't tried it the last two updates since I just started using Chrome2Phone (or Fox2phone) to send all the links. There is a drop down section on Appbrain that shows the QR code and when you click chrome2phone is recognizes that on the page and give an option to send that link which works perfectly.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Did you see my REpost that i replied as well? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
I have not had any issues with appbrain. Even with stock 2.2. I had thought it would read me from the login with Gmail? All my apps are always there and i reinstall them :eek:
[Captivate Android Development] Argastes:
Do you have Winamp installed? There is an option checked by default called "Enable auto-mount" which could be causing it, or maybe something similar in another program.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
You Sir, are a Gentleman, a Scholar, and you are also correct!

It was winamp.... installed it the same time as B9. Great call!

EDIT: Thanks to you @Argastes as well. You are also correct.
[Captivate Android Development] doomah69:
I have a question maybe someone can help me i just flashed beta9 and everything is working i just don't have a voodoo folder on my SD card, is there something i need to do to get voodoo working? thanks
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Did you flash using odin or cwm? If I recall, only odin correctly installed voodoo
[Captivate Android Development] mobius911:
Thanks. I had this issue too and it was the automount option in winamp
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
That was a good call...as i was installing Winamp :)
[Captivate Android Development] doomah69:
I used CWM that is probaly why thanks, i will just live without voodoo don't feel like flashing again
[Captivate Android Development] iceman718:
Nope.. I don't understand. I've never touched batt.stats as long as I've owned the phone. Flashed 6 or so ROMs, all but one from 100%. 2 of them have yielded terrible battery life (as in, when it said 0, it would die, not keep going for an hour..). One was one of the 2.1.X ROMs that apparently was tough on the battery for everyone, the other was 2.2 B9 flashing from Odin yesterday. When I came back after class (with like 58% left after less than 4 hours) I flashed the CWM version of B9 over it. Currently at 58% after nearly 18 hours.
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
"don't feel like flashing again"

OH NO HE DIDN'T!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
So strange thing here, with all the previous versions of Cog, I have this mellow Transformers sound (I know, I know) that I use as the start up sound and it has always worked. Now on B9, I've dropped that same file in /etc but it never plays. System volume is turned up, too. Any ideas why it wouldn't? Is it not being called in this version? :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
name it right, convert it to ogg

and you want it in /system/etc

not /etc
[Captivate Android Development] stevenperry:
Can't find the link to get the new battery circles, do you have it handy?

Thanks.
[Captivate Android Development] Bowsa2511:
What was updated today? I just saw the 10/26/2010 annexed
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
Ok come on guys I see tons and tons of posts about the battery and why it is needed to pull the sim card when flashing. Simple answer is that Cog has tested it and if he says that is what one should do to get his rom working right then that is what one should do and not complain about battery life if they didnt.

On a side note a little more troubleshooting and less give me answers, will help out all of us.

I also agree that before posting any issue try and find the problem. Lets try and help cog out. Do a stock flash and master clear to clear anything that might be causing an issue, then flash the rom. I have been down this road before and while yes Android is a different beast then say... WM, code is code and sometimes it doesnt like to be over written and can sometimes stick and cause issues.

So please letz show some respect to Cog and his work and try and help ourselfs before coming and posting "oh damn I keep getting force closes or My battery is draining like crazy."
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
Right on he is alive :p So whats new with V10 :D
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Well, I re flashed without my sim card in from 100% and afterwards charged it back to 100% and did the whole re config battery thing and deleted the battstats but my battery is still draining pretty quickly.

Only new program I have installed is winamp and I do have the widget on but I doubt that would be killing my battery. I can live with it because beta 9 is the **** and by far my phone is running better then it EVER has in the 2 months of owning it.
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
How did you flash?
[Captivate Android Development] smokestack76:
WOW didnt even see this. +1000 :p Even though i dont have the HD2 yet :D
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Same as I always do. Odin 1 click back to stock and then flash the new version with Odin.

I sometimes master clear but not always, I guess that is gonna be your suggestion lol.

I also disabled voodoo before flashing as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Sorry about that I actually meant /system/etc. I have it named PowerOn.wav currently. Is this not sufficient? Like I said it has worked in previous builds so wasn't sure if something changed.
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
we got better cameras this year so you wont see us in the stands :p
[Captivate Android Development] Chief Beefalo:
Mine is a .ogg extension and it works flawlessly.

Convert it to OGG
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
So is beta 9 significantly better overall than beta 7 (or others)? I'm still on b7 and *very* pleased — no quirks at all, and battery life is awesome. After reading so many posts about b9 battery, market, email & messaging issues, I'm still leery to take the plunge. I don't want to trash a perfectly good b7 setup. How does b9 compare with b6/7 + OCLF?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
How do we disable voodoo if we want to flash to a new version after b9?
[Captivate Android Development] zelendel:
A search would have lead you to making a file or folder named disable-lagfix in the vodoo folder and reboot. That will disable the lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
Make a new folder in the voodoo folder called disable-lagfix
[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
Hmmm, I'm starting to wonder if maybe I'm going crazy. I converted it to .ogg. It is now named PowerOn.ogg and I've placed it in /system/etc (It's right next to PowerOn.snd). I can tap that file in Root Explorer and it plays, but on boot it doesn't play at all. WTH?

Also, with Root Explorer has anybody else noticed that you can go to /etc and /system/etc and they are the same folder?
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Well that's simple enough...thanks :)

Are you talking about rebooting into Clockwork Recovery? I did that with 2.1, but was under the impression that Clockwork did not work with 2.2.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
You can do it from a terminal emulator:

su

rm /data/system/batterystats.bin

I will put that in my original thread...
[Captivate Android Development] whitenerj:
Should you do this before or after you flash a new rom?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I haven't experienced either of those issues.

Did you flash back to stock first?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I do this after flashing a ROM... whether I should or not is entirely different subject.
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:
I was wondering the same thing. What is the firmware update option in the camera?
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
i think you have to swap kernel back to a 2.1 version? so is there a way to have a new odin3 one-click that is loaded with the froyo 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
There is camera firmware on the market from Samsung... but it says not to install it, so I didn't.
[Captivate Android Development] PuffinNugz:
yeah, my market is acting up a bunch, also. Enough that I'm thinking about going back to 2.16. Froyo is cool and all, but in MY experiences, this phone ran MUCH better on 2.16 with Atinms kernal.
[Captivate Android Development] rsx19:
yes it did, im thinking the same thing
[Captivate Android Development] Capivik:
Just wanted to give a big thanks to those who helped me some earlier and an even bigger thanks to DG.

Just loaded up Cog 2.2 on an already fast (meaning I never noticed any lag) Capi and somehow this thing seems to move faster.

Will be donating in just a few minutes.
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
whats teh consensus, upgrade or not. it is okay to asume this is the snappiest best version available or are there ways to get eclair faster than these first froyo roms
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
Just an FYI: This is a BETA.

That means the ROM is in a testing phase. It will have issues, and those issues need to be reported to the developer so that they can be addressed prior to regular release.

I must say that Cog 2.2 has been amazing from the start. I have has VERY FEW issues, but then again I always start from scratch before applying ROMs, because many of the little gremlins that come up are because of the residue left over from previous ROMs.
[Captivate Android Development] iamamp3pimp:
i did it without issue

well except that odd screen issue/non response that required a batt pull

hard froze and the screen turned off a little at a time...
[Captivate Android Development] Crizthakidd:
i just donwloaded a few things, and getting ready to do the whole shebang. can u please elaborate your steps in order, quick words ive done prvieous roms before just want to know your method so that i too may experiance less uhh gremlins lmfao @joeybear
[Captivate Android Development] zielins1:
If i want to reflash Cog 2.2 over my existing Cog 2.2 install, do i still have to go back to 2.1 or kernel swap?
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
My steps: (Your Mileage May Vary)

1. Backup all your stuff (I prefer Titanium Backup)

2. Format the Internal SD card (under Settings>SD Card and Phone Storage)

3. Flash back to JF6 using Odin 1-Click

4. Reboot into recovery mode and use ROM Manager update.zip to apply the Cognition ROM

5. Boot into FroYo and use OCLF to install Lag Fix files, then apply the Lag Fix

6. Reboot and sign into the Market (it will prompt you to add your gmail account)

7. Download and install Titanium Backup

8. Restore all Apps from Titanium Backup (make sure you are in debug mode before starting TiBU)

9. Set your phone settings back the way you like them.

works like a charm for me
[Captivate Android Development] zielins1:
Finally found what i was looking for. Have to go back because of clockwork not working in 2.2, right? Tough digging through so many pages sometimes.
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I would... but I am OCD to an extent.
[Captivate Android Development] Oogy:
i installed from clockwork mod from eclair and now i'm stuck in the recovery boot loop

what did i do wrong?

should i just odin one click it back to stock and flash beta9 with odin?
[Captivate Android Development] Roxy:
That happened to me too when I flashed the .zip using clockwork.

I recommend 1 click odin back to stock and then odin to beta 9.
[Captivate Android Development] glitterballs:
Hey DG - Can you clarify this? I believe there was a T959UVFJI2 modem for the Vibrant, as well as a ICH897UVJI2 modem for the Captivate. Were you using the T959* modem on a Captivate and getting 3G on T-Mo?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Regarding your troubleshooting comment, call me collect when it happens. All I hear in here is "give me", "can I have", etc......Gee Whiz!
[Captivate Android Development] eclypse3demons:
@chipsa964 ... Just install run quadrant standard and run the benchmark you IO benchmark should be faster if you score overall lower than around 700-900 its pro not installed if its 1k to 1.7k it is...

You can also install term emulator and run the mount command should show Fs type
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
For people with battery issues might I suggest system panel from the market. It will monitor every app/process and give you details about cpu use time, uptime, memory, graph cpu usage for each individually so you can see if an app is the cause of battery drain, as well as a plethora of other information.

Sent telepathically using vulcan mind meld app.
[Captivate Android Development] Rikusaki:
Cached apps save more energy than having to completely shut them down and start them up again. Task killers so more harm than good. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] andersonjf:
This happened to me as well, tried multiple times. Seems something is wrong with the BETA9 zip when installing via clockwork from eclair.

EDIT: Forgot to mention this happened when I tried to take my wife's phone from stock eclair to BETA9, but when I updated my phone which had BETA8.1 to BETA9 using clockword it worked fine.
[Captivate Android Development] ragingclue:
Same. The back to stock (Clockwork) method got me stuck in recovery too. Used the ODIN method instead and had success.
[Captivate Android Development] chipsa964:
Oh I know how you check if it's installed...i wanted to know how to disable it before I flash a new rom when it comes out
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Or just reading the FAQ where it says:

Lagfix

Voodoo

Enable

You don't need to do anything to enable the Voodoo Lagfix. It is built into the kernel that comes with Voodoo versions of Cognition. The phone should talk to you during boot the first time you enable Voodoo lagfix.

However, if you have used the process below to disable the lagfix, simply remove the disable-lagfix file (or folder) in /sdcard/Voodoo, and then reboot your phone. The phone will speak to you again when you enable it.

Disable

To disable the Voodoo Lagfix, follow these steps:

Create an extension-less file or a folder name "disable-lagfix" in /sdcard/Voodoo

Reboot.

You might get stuck at the ATT loading screen while Voodoo reconverts back to RFS (this is normal and can take as long as 15 minutes, depending on the number of applications you have installed.)

Man, that is so hard to find.
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
I donno if this has been stated.. if it has, Im sorry. I threw in a circle battery mod framework-res.apk, and power menu is broken now. Freezes and reboots phone when I hold power button. Not that I mind.... easy reflash. But is there any circle battery mod that works with Beta 9? Really, I prefer Version B, I really like the colors and sections. Dont really like anything else....
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
I am pretty sure it is Touchdown thrashing on the ext4 fs.
[Captivate Android Development] jojomoulder:
I've only found one problem for me on cog 9. The sound for the timer and the alarm. funny thing is if you set the alarm to go off in the next minute to test it, it works. Set it for 30+minutes it doesn't. At least for me. Please fix this cause I was late to work today. Other then that i have had no problems with cog9. Battery life has been fantastic and my phone is super fast. It would have been much better if Samsung would have released this phone with cog9. Just saying.

the steps I took are as follows.

Flashed straight to cog9 from 8.1 using Odin.

Didn't remove sim.

Didn't flash back to stock

Didn't do a master clear.

{Call me a rebel}

Thanks for all your hard work DG. Shots are on me this weekend. :D
[Captivate Android Development] nizbot:
Yep, just noticed this issue my self... REALLY BAD and imo the AOSP version is at least usable in this sense. I'm not sure why they decided to go with the other version, but i'm sure those guys had their reasons.

Anyhow, I'm using the email.apk extracted from 2.2BETA6 and it's working fine in this regard if anyone cares. Thanks for the heads up though.

I tried uninstalling touchdown and rebooted last night since I took a PTO day today and my battery still only lasted from 8ish this morning until about 2:12pm.

idk what the deal is with ppl having trouble with certain things of beta9. I followed the instructions and help from these threads, read the wiki help info for cog, Odin, and TiBu and have no issues to report.

[Captivate Android Development] Jirv311:
It actually has been posted. By me. :D

I had the same issue and just reverted back to the stock framework-res.apk that I extracted from the Beta 9.zip. Someone said the circle battery mod in the "minimalistic mod" framework-res.apk works though. I haven't had a chance to try it yet though.
[Captivate Android Development] flashman2002:
Its good you have no issues, but remember not all phones are the same and flashing does not always work the same...even though you would think it would. Please don't lead with a statement that you don't understand because you may eventually have an issue and you will eat your words. Maybe try and help people if you didn't have issues, I am having voodoo issues and I have flashed many times before, and have also had voodoo on my phone. Now its not a big deal but others are also having the same issue. I am not asking DG for help because it will be something I can eventually get worked out.

I just flashed and got beta 9 up and running, but when I go under SD card and phone storage it says unavailable on both my internal and external sd and when I try to install anything it says no memory. I have looked around for awhile for a solution but no luck. Any ideas?

EDIT

Flashed with odin, sd card and sim card removed during
