I have messed with my GPS a bit and am getting good readings in the house. I changed to duplicate, changed to Ms, and set the GPS to cold start. Maps and Google earth both test accurate after about 30 seconds. Need to text driving.

BOOTY ANIMATION and MOBILE AP

My WI-FI/MOBILE AP is not working with the latest beta - otherwise, the ROM is performing excellent...anyone got a link to show me how to use the boot animation? THANKS!!

Damn son!!! This thing worked wonders!!! I'm inside my house and initiated test mode and got 9 SATS:) Thanks for the tip:D EDit: I just click on the navigation app and then "BAM" got lock less right after launching NAV....COOL and I'm accurate by 10 METERS.....how awesome is that:D

Apparently search is borked for now but I've recently come across a problem with 2.4.1.

Whenever I try to adjust the volume in-call, for some reason my signal cuts out (displays the circle with the slash) and the call is dropped. Is this an isolated problem or are there others experiencing it as well?
[Captivate Android Development] networkdood:
No issues with calls, yet...just not able to use WI-FI and MOBILE AP.....
[Captivate Android Development] tysj:
Alright managed to fix it by recopying Phone.apk and Phone_util.apk from 2.3b3. I guess something happened before during the copy. Thanks

After a battery reset: 12hrs since my phone was unplugged, I'm at 70% battery. That's with light use and a few phone calls. This is a great improvement over JI6, I can easily get 30+ hrs out of this ;)
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
Wow, just went into Mobile AP and it says this:

"A Mobile Hotspot plan is required to use this service. Please go to att.com/mywireless or dial 611 if you do not have this service provisioned.

WTF? Never seen that before even on the leaked captivate roms. Doesn't make since why it would be there when this is based on the vibrate release.

I still can check the box to activate it and it showed up when scanning wifi on my laptop so it works but I am worried since it is showing this message if at&t can tell I am using it and charge me or add it automatically.

Really not making sense to me why this message is there suddenly
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Wow, just got that message too when I tried. Seems AT&T know the tricks we're up to...heh
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
I got the mobile ap notice as well. I have the grandfathered unlimited plan.

DG had provided a bypass in a previous rom, I guess 2.4.1 doesn't have it since its a vibrant rom. Little details as easy to miss.

DG you rock. Love the work man

I have the same unlimited plan as well but that and a Mobile Hotspot plan are different things. I'm sure DG can fix it though lol. I rarely ever use it anyway
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
He had bypassed imobile ap on a previous rom. Figure starting from scratch with the latest leak it was just an over sight.

EDIT: I know the unlimited and tether plan are separate, was just trying to give DG as much info as possible.

Quadrant and Linpack scores =)

Just finished flashing Cogs 2.4.1 and Setirons new kernal. Figured I'd offer my stats. I got a Quadrant score of 1906. A Linpack of 16.86 and a download rate on HSUPA of 461.3kB/s and upload of 36.8kB/s. I'd upload pics. But idk how to get them from my phone on here.

It has been posted a few times that there is a link to DG's previous releases:

[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Didn't like 2.4, downgraded to 2.3b3. All I can say is that IMMEDIATELY, no calibration, battery went from bad to good. Also, 2.4 flashed from stock after a Master Clear with Voodoo on is MUCH slower than 2.3b3 flashed over 2.4 without Voodoo... my phone ha Voodoo off and it's speedy (keep forgetting to turn on >.<). I will stay with 2.3b3

Oh, for anyone who wants to know, the Dell Stage Launcher is actually pretty nice. Some widgets don't work, and the Phone button in the dock reports app not installed (DG fixed that in Launcher2, I'm sure there is a fix for this!). Once you remove the offending widgets and if you're willing to ignore a bad Phone button (make an icon on the first homescreen, mine has no icon or label (invisible, so it won't mess with the layout), it's actually a pretty awesome launcher. Nice animations and app drawer is pretty sick. Just for anyone who wants to try, I recommend it!
[Captivate Android Development] bowtieguy:
Check your advanced wireless settings. Mine was horrible and found that wireless was set to NEVER turn off. Changed to when screen blanks, and now batt is as good as it ever has.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
Here's an interesting note on battery performance. I haven't run the AT&T stock for a loooooong time (since 2.1.2 to be precise), but since I need to warranty the phone I just restored it earlier today. After charging to full, my phone has been unplugged for 5hrs 32 min and is still at 97%. Granted this is with very light usage, however with my Cog ROMs, if I left them for this long they would be down to 80% or so. I haven't seen battery performance like this in a while.

I should mention that the my drain is: 41% voice calls, 27% standby, 20% idle, 11% display, 2% maps. Typically, on a Cog ROM, when I check the drain it is caused primarily (about 96-98%) by the display.

For sake of being as scientifically rigorous as possible:

It's in the same house (which has crappy reception but that should affect both equally unless the stock radio is far superior to the Cog radio which seems hard to believe).

I have used several recalibration techniques, which will get me a little more life, but never more than 12-13 hours of light to zero use. With medium use I can squeeze 6-8 hours. Heavy use I would only average about 3-4 hours. Granted, these are all subjective terms but I'm using them based on usage described in this thread.

I have used Super Power beta on the Cog ROM with some limited success. I have not tried this on the stock ROM.

I have not installed any apps on the stock ROM yet.

My conclusion is that either something in the ROM is causing a drain or one of my apps is causing it. In any case, once I get my new phone, I will test it a little more on battery performance before I flash Cog, then test Cog and try to show you some results. Any tips or advice would be welcome!
[Captivate Android Development] jswclw:
Interesting...but there are no many settings that can effect this. In my own case, the advanced wifi setting was a major culprit. Setting to "Always On" when there is no wifi to connect to is a major drain. That is the setting on the DG ROMs that I have tried. It is not the setting on the stock AT&T ROMs. I now run with the setting that only turns on wifi when the display is on.

BTW...I'm about to venture down the same path with regard to warranty replacement. I'm losing patience with the shutdowns. The come and go. Might be a week or more between, then twice in a day. Frustrating!
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Odd, I got 25 hours out of 2.3b3, but on stock ROM I got 6 hours of moderate-heavy usage. I get varying battery life all the time, but it's never been higher than on Cog. Stock was terrible for me.
[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
True, there are a lot of settings that can affect this; however, I tend to be very conservative in my settings. Super Power can be set to turn off WiFi when the screen is off, but even furthermore to turn it or Bluetooth off if they are not connected within x minutes.

I feel like the only free-variable here is the apps I use. I'll have to install a bunch on stock and see how it goes.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Well, as much as I like having the latest version of Cog, I have finally reverted back to Cog 2.2beta9.1.3. My main reason was cosmetic. I really didn't like the Vibrant variant of certain screens. The phone screen had the voice dialer button, which was pointless because it didn't work. (At least not for me.) I also didn't like the layout of the tabs along the top.

Also, I just downloaded the Darkness 2.3 MOD, and since the Vibrant variant had that god awful grey drop down, the MOD didn't quite work or look right. However, I have also now switched to the Minimalistic MOD, which I actually like better. Perhaps if Darkness gets n update, I'll check that out again.

Even though there was a fix for the voicemail notification issue, that was another bugger that bugged me. Mobile AP not working properly was another.

All of these things are fixed using 2.2beta9.1.3. The ROM is solid and SNAPPY, and I think I'll just stick with it for now. Heck, I might even branch out and try other JI6 ROMs.

I mean no disrespect whatsoever, DG, as you have put out version after version of amazing work. I just wanted to share why I switched back. Hey, at least I'm still using Cognition...for now...;)

[Captivate Android Development] pagandoc:
what modem will you be using? Love the speed on 2.4 but the GPS is killing me for my runs.
[Captivate Android Development] drwx:
i use and recommend Y5-battery saver for controlling whether wifi is on or off. It is free and runs in the background. What it does is pay attention to the cell towers that you are on when you have wifi enabled. as soon as you are off of the known towers, it disables wifi. to add a new wifi location, disable y5, turn wifi on and connect, and then re-enable y5.

i've been using this for a couple of months, even before i started using these roms.

i think it was the 2.4 rom but it might have been the 2.3b3, but whichever it was, i got 36 or so hours out of it without a charge last week. i took it off the charger at 6AM and didn't plug it in again until i went to bed the next night. on every rom recently, i find myself trying to kill the battery before bed so that i don't feel retarded for charging a phone that has 70% battery left.

Although Facebook fc'ed twice!..
[Captivate Android Development] wilsongis:
I have to agree how solid it was. Waiting for the rebase.
[Captivate Android Development] Drew489:
Not to some of us. To me, battery issue is dead but I don't ***** about all the posts. This thing is a handheld computer....surprise! The battery isn't going to last more than eight to twelve hours. Tweak all you want...nothing is going to change. Use batteryfu or juice defender to slow down data but that's about all that really works.

Now gps? That should work. I still see people doing agps ' fixes' claiming it fixes gps...it doesn't...they're two different things. One works while stationary using wireless networks and cell towers. The other is actual gps.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I just read through the whole thread. Yes, it is 'advanced', and a bit confusing, for sure.

But reading that, it sounds like it is a must to go through complete reload, with a process to be sure 850 is working.

I have not planned on moving to the Vibrant version of Cog. I am still on 2.3b2, which has been good enough for me, and I've been reading here about patches needed for a couple things. So, I"m waiting it out for the time being.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Still on 2.3b2, and I've tested, and last night for example, wiht 9 hrs 33 mintues, I dropped from 100 to 72 5. The batt statts say that display was 82% of battery use. I don't understand how that can be when it was in standby all night.

Maybe something is flashing the screen on. Not sure what would be doing that enough to cause that. I had 1 Noled notification, which does flash the screen on. Supposedly the one little light shouldn't use batt that much. I may have to disable Noled, and try it again.
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:

Kizzmiazz...I asked you many pages ago if BT worked for you (when you first mentioned the kernal, I think, and was talking about the good huspda, or whatever it is, speeds), and you said your BT was working.

Are you now saying it doesn't?

Per the poster above, there is a lot of discussion in that thread about having to flash all back to original, and apply JG8, etc, for 850, but that also says that is needed to 'fix' BT.

[Captivate Android Development] Sulphur4724:
My experience (so far) BT works with hsupa if you are on an i9000 rom. It doesn't if you are on a captivate rom. (Cog.) The hsupa modems are i9000 and the bluetooth apk's are different (different sizes anyway). (Not to mention the kernel.) Not 100% sure on my own as I can't read/write code, but that's what I've read and what has worked for me.

Has anyone been able to get hsupa and BT working on Cog? When I was playing with it I could get the kernel and modem and hsupa to work with cog and geomod, but never with BT working. Just static. On Deviant and Doc's Froyo with setiron's kernel everything works except the wired headset. That's straight up fubar.

Curious to see if anyone has figured it out.

I just want to confirm some things. I currently have the 2.1.9 version beta and after a few weeks it is now starting to give me some issues. Like apps showing their installed when they are not. Apps like for XDA and other forum apps not updating correct. My bluetooth is not always working right. It is a beta so it is expected to have some issues. No complants.

I am going to upgrade to 2.4.1 now. I have not done a upgrade with out Odin before so that will be a little new for me. I will ready up and make sure I do it right. I am going to go back to the stock 2.1 odin update that is posted. All I need from this is to get my ID number correct before updateing to 2.4.1? In searching I got a little confused if I could update 2.4.1 with that ID number. Or if I can not update till the next beta version if that funtion will be working.

I just want to make sure I have everything set before I do this.

Thanks,

This is my opinion, but I would go to 2.3b3, and wait for what DG is working on now. The Vibrant based 2.4.x has some interesting features, but some handicaps too. DG has said a few posts back that the next one will not be Vibrant based.

[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
I apologize. I've read so much, I must be remembering wrong.

But I do know that many posts in that thread on the kernel talk about the processes to bet BT working....but then maybe that too is based on using the I9000 ROMS.

In any event, I guess I'll stay away from that kernel then. Sounds great...but BT is a primary function I need. I can't imagine anyone not using BT when driving. Of course many do, and even text while driving. Very stupid. My daughter had a kid total her care due to texting while driving.
