Flash to stock, then master clear with Odin one click jf6
[Captivate Android Development] Reita:
I had some 3G issues with Beta8 so I just ended up restarting and they got fixed (even though it seems I randomly lose signal but it gets solved in a few seconds.)

However battery drain has been horrible with any Cognition version I have tested (Beta 6 to Beta 8).

Any ideas regarding battery life? I have tried wiping user data then restoring and even updating from a stock Odin.

In the time it took me to write this response I have already lost 6% battery.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
On computer chat with AT&T. Will report when I finish.

BTW, that method did not work. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] moosefist:
Does anyone know if there is a trick to getting beta 8's mobile ap working?
[Captivate Android Development] svgamer:
That didn't work for me.

I had to flash back to B8 to get my modem working again.

If I had to guess, I would say that the modem.bin flashed in Beta8 is not being overwritten when you one-click back to stock or try to load a previous Beta.
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
By "working" do you mean 3G? and full reception?
[Captivate Android Development] svgamer:
Yes 3G and full reception.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
That is absolutely insane battery loss. I am running beta 6 and my battery has been pretty darn good. When I flash from any point except 100% charge my battery is never quite the same (although never that bad) even if I delete battery stats.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
AT&T tried an OTA reset. No good..Now they're saying it's tower issues, but me wife's phone is fine.
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
Wow, you're lucky, i get No reception or low bars edge even in Beta 8
[Captivate Android Development] svgamer:
I guess I am.

I kicked around the idea of replacing the modem.bin file in the B8 PDA.zip with the one from B7, and then reflashing B8. I didn't have to resort to that, but it might be worth a try. I make no claims about whether or not that is safe to do.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Found a fix for the "No Data" thing. It was through AT&T...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Here's the fix:

1. Settings

2. Privacy

3. Factory Data Reset

4. Reset Phone

5. Erase Phone

I got everything back. Now to re-Odin Beta8...lol...Yes I love to punish myself...lol
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
It looks like "master clearing" is not the same as "factory reset"
[Captivate Android Development] vietphunguyen:
Does this fix no data or no 3g + poor reception.
[Captivate Android Development] chibixzero:
Guess I will wait til beta 9, thanks DG for all your work
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
+1 very bad battery life on b8..
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
It fixed no data (3G), but it also fixed the reception when I was on stock frmware with AT&T. After flashing back to Beta8, the reception got poor again. I may be wrong, but it looks like some of what's included in the Beta8 ROM is from/for another network other than AT&T.
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
for all you guys that are having issues with 3g and signal, i have been using the reorient kernal for a while now with cog 2.2b6 and have tried a bunch of different modems, and the jpm modem is by far the best. it is a quadband modem and supports everything but you have to dial *#2263# and click COMBI BANDS then select #8 WCDMA 850 and press menu and then back and thats it. now you have every different band possible enabled and on the first menu make sure automatic is selected and has a star next to it. im going to attach this as a .zip so unzip the file and put the modem.bin on your desktop or wherever and use odin to flash it. just put the modem.bin file in the phone slot in odin, put in download mode and flash it will only take 5 seconds and reboot and your done. you will not lose anything.
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
I can' get the *#2263# to work. "RAT selection option is restricted" is displayed when i type that in. Any Ideas?
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Outstanding!...
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
This looks like a great thing to incorporate into the COG rom.

[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I get the same thing
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
Is this only for beta 8?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
why do i have no signal after doing odin one click back to stock (jf6 eclair) from beta8? shouldn't modem.bin have been replaced with odin??
[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
this is for the reorient kernal which is included in beta 8. its really for hsupa but its also just the best modem that i have found.

for you guys that are trying *#2263# and it not working, are you using the reorient kernal? im not sure if why its not working for you guys..

edit: i have 2 captivates..1 is running 2.2b6 with reorient kernal and the other is just running the stock leaked ji6 that was manually rooted and sideload enabled and *#2263# works on both of them to bring up the service mode for band selection..
[Captivate Android Development] Rhiannon224:
Try factory reset it seems to solve the signal issue.
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
thanks, trying this now

edit - that worked! weird, but it works!
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
go to settings, privacy, then reset.
[Captivate Android Development] airbillion:
I'm on GOG b8, but have had no luck with this menu. ANy other ideas on hop to enable the HSPA settings?

Without them you wont get 3G
[Captivate Android Development] wmwilker:

[Captivate Android Development] kamots:
Alright I may have spoken too soon. Just watched my battery drain 30 % in 1 hr ( yes I have no life). Let it Drain to zero and shut off. Will let it charge overnight and hopefully battery life will be better tomorrow ( or beta 9 will be out ) crosses fingers lol

Also thank you chuck for the factory reset fix. I know that if I would have Odin'd back to stock jf6 and my data didn't work, I would have stroked out. Now atleast I know what to do if it happens to me.
[Captivate Android Development] iamedu:

Anyone have a mirror to Cognition 2.2 Beta5 ?? I would like to go back to this rom since it gave me the best performance and battery life.

Beta8 has lots of force close issues for me, the bluetooth is messed up whenever I try to make a call using my bluetooth wireless headset or talk through my car's bluetooth, and the battery is horrible.

I installed Beta8 twice too, first time was flash to JF6 using Odin 1 click, then master clear, then odin to beta8 while checking the option to "Repartition". I did this again later same steps (which worked perfectly in Beta5) and still get force close issues and can't even run Google Navigator.

Anyone with a link to Beta 5 please? I would like to go back to this while DG works on the next Cognition.

[Captivate Android Development] bobbylx:
Anyone lose network connection after flashing?

Been running beta 8 fine all day, and after installing software, theming, etc, I decided I wanted to flash and start clean.

I used rom manager first, install looked fine, but when it finally booted I got the circle with line through it like I had no service. I checked my other ATT phone and it had full bars. I go to Phone status and it shows my phone number, but Network says unknown, Service state says Out of Service, and Mobile network state says disconnected.

I figured I got a bad flash so I pulled the sim and battery and used Odin to flash Beta 8, still no luck. I flashed to stock then beta 8, still no luck. I also swapped SIM's between my 2 phones, no luck with either. It will recognize the phone # assigned to the SIM, but doesn't get service.

Is there a file somewhere that could have gotten goofed up during flashing, that for some reason doesn't get replaced when I use Odin or something? Really doubt flashing this would kill my SIM/card slot. Any chance ATT could block me for flashing and re-registering with the network too many times?

Kinda scary that flash to stock, etc, didn't fix the modem.

[Captivate Android Development] designgears:

[Captivate Android Development] di11igaf:
no problem..glad i could help..and anyone else having signal problems, i posted the jpm modem a few pages back (i think its on 495 or so) which i have found to work best as far as signal and hsdpa and hsupa.. and for those who cant access the *#2263# menu-i think its a beta8 problem as i said i have two captivates one on stock rooted 2.2 and the other on cog b6 and can access it on both of them. but even if you cant get to it after flashing the modem, all the gsm bands are enabled by default and all the wcdma bands are enabled except for 850 but i dont think its used that much anyway. i think att mostly uses gsm in most areas but im not positive.
[Captivate Android Development] amwbt:
DG, what's changed in 8.1? If you don't mind me asking since there is no changelog yet.

There is a changelog on the main download page right now. Maybe the Wiki will be updated later.

DG:

I understand beta but some of the recent releases are "Alpha" or "Experimental" in my opinion. What is up with all the extreme mix/match stuff lately? I have never been hesitant on trying a beta ROM until beta 8. Can we keep things in the beta with what we know works instead of experimenting? No offense dude. But some things like flip flopping launchers and modems are insane. Stick with what works in the beta and create an alpha ROM for experimenting to decide what works then implement into beta. Just my opinion. I do appreciate your work though!
[Captivate Android Development] joeybear23:
I like beta 8 with the jpm modem thus far. Battery is awesome and hsupa rocketh.

I've been flashing my phone so much that it is now threatening to take pictures next time and post them all over the web... I better take a break.
[Captivate Android Development] sublimaze:
You're the first person I've seen to have no network issues *and* great battery life with beta 8. Let us know if anything changes

I can't afford to be without a working phone for a even single day during the week (my job demands it). The beta 8 modem issue is too risky for me, I'll wait until beta 9 is released
[Captivate Android Development] iamedu:
You could probably use 8.1, it uses another kernel and modem, will let you know in a while how it is working
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
So mi hermano. Everything working with 3.5g?. Safe to update?
[Captivate Android Development] coretech:
Not sure if this has been mentioned yet. I thought it was kinda funny, I had a little time to kill yesterday at work and downloaded the beta8 before reading any other post. I found out about the bluetooth static right away when I tried to make a phone call after flashing and Googleizing my phone. But on the way home I wanted to try out the GPS and turned it my bluetooth was already synced with my car and I thought I turned it off but when the nice google-robot told me where to drive it was coming from my speakers in my car over BT without any static.

This is probably not news to anyone but I thought it might help if anyone is looking in to the BT static issue.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I have 8.1 up and running. Signal strength is low (1 - 2 bars), but at least it's something.
[Captivate Android Development] tietherope:
I will probably get blasted for this as I have before by people saying "It's a beta man, if you don't like it then go away". Because apparently something being in beta is a valid reason to hold back on known information. But I feel that when there is a large issue that is known, such as the bluetooth not working in beta 8 due to HSUPA being enabled, that should be put under "known issues". I knew of the issue myself from previously so I didn't flash, but as you can see, many people have.

Either way that is my first gripe with any of this work and I thank you very much DesignGears, you have done some amazing stuff.
[Captivate Android Development] RKight:
I noticed in the past 24 hours that I was constantly having to reboot to get my data connection working again, both under EDGE and 3G. I also had horrible battery life. My phone lost 53% battery in five hours and I barely used it.

Ironically, I came to this forum this morning so that I could download the stock JI6 2e kernel. I was planning on flashing the JI6 2e kernel and JI6 modem back to Beta 8 hoping it would fix my data and battery issues. Apparently I was on the right track, and DG beat me to it, which doesn't hurt my feelings a bit. :D
[Captivate Android Development] Aphex13:

[Captivate Android Development] Sebring5:
That's what beta is all about. This is a developers area. These are not ready for prime time. Wait and read the comments before flashing. If it is a problem rom the comments show up quickly. That's what I do. These guys are doing the right thing.

Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] yeeter:
Yeah, crud. I'm going to have to wait until late this evening before I can do b8.1 - I unwisely flashed b8 after reading the issues, and now I'm having serious battery drain (caveat emptor). The data seems to be working fine, I had an issue earlier this morning, but it may have just been a bad signal area, since I didn't change anything and it is working now.

Still love the work DG is doing.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I think a good lesson was learned here lately. It's best to wait and read what's happening before flashing a new a ROM. At least that's what I will do.

So far 8.1 is holding up
[Captivate Android Development] avgjoegeek:
I have said it once I'll say it again. DG does what he wants with these... sometimes he goes down a weird and twisted road (probably coding whilst drunk ;) ). But he always seems to bring it back with a ROM that is better than the rev before.

And as the guy states on his website - these will stay as BETA as he is playing with a leaked Samsung source that he happened to share with us. DG didn't have to share squat with the community.

Plus I think I've only seen 2 really disastrous ROMs... one from the 2.1.x days.. and the 2.2.8 one. Pretty good track record if you think about it.

I'm still grateful he's pumping these out - as i wouldn't have a working phone - PERIOD without his customized ROMs.

So.. report your bugs, but I would recommend keeping the *itching down to a minimum. It isn't helping anyone and doesn't help the development of this ROM.

Oh.. and for the love of all that is good and holy. If you REALLY NEED YOUR PHONE BECAUSE THE WORLD WILL END IF YOU DON'T HAVE IT OMGWTFBBQSAUCE!!!1111!011010111!!!

...... at least wait a day or two for other people to download and test the ROM before you come on here and QQ about it. It is what I do and has saved me numerous times from the pain and agony of not having a working device.... which I need because I have a lil' one. :D
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
Second that. This is optional, use at your own risk. We are being a test bed....beta....for these....its a choice. What else we have to think about is I dont see anyone flashing back to stock and staying there. Everyone is downgrading to a different version of Cognition which wouldnt be possible without DG's efforts. Basically, $hit happens....but most of the time it has been fantastic or everyone would be going back to stock. Accept the risks.
[Captivate Android Development] netnerd:
why going backward??

8.0 is BETTER than 8.1!

8.0 has HSUPA, and band selections ENABLED! (you must flash a different hsupa modem, i prefer JG8 modem)

dial *#2263# or use SGS Tools, make sure you have * on wcdma 2100, 1900, and 850. and make sure you have * GSM 850, 900, 1800, 1900.

then select Automatic.

with this setup, battery life is the same as stock ATT modem!
[Captivate Android Development] polo1000rr:
+1 Very well stated. couldn't have said it better myself.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
So I can't try new stuff?? Geez, I should just not dev anymore... Not going to happen tho :)

Ya, calls are borked on that kernel/modem combo, but everything else with sound is fine. I found that out too, which is why it is now reverted back to JI6 w/2e.

Probably just your current area/conditions. Happens...

Well, to be fair the kernel OP didn't list any issues about bluetooth... so we got to find out the hard way, and I can't list issues that are unknown to me.

If you need your phone and all features at all times, please, flash Cognition Eclair.

Thanks for testing and being a good sport about it :D Much appreciated!

Drunk, NEVER!! There is a Cognition 2.1.7/6 that is perfectly stable for those that need stability, actually it is getting updated today ;)

Ditto!!

Backwards? It went from broken for most to working for most... If you want to use a buggy kernel and a modem that will drain battery faster, totally up to you.
[Captivate Android Development] thecellx:
8.1.... thats a Beta!!!

So far with 8.1 everything is cool. Back to the days of perfection. Perfect Signal, perfect data, just a little lag but thats all. Thanks DG youre the BEST.
