I am not sure what is going on but with my version of 2.3b6 I do have different settings that work for the notifications. In fact this morning I received one I had never heard before. I looked at my phone and had a pm from xda. Never set one for that but never received one previously before. I have my global set to pixie whatever, gmail gives a different notification, yahoomail uses the global since the program doesn't have a choice in it to change it, I can't think of anything else.I use at the.moment for notifications though. I know for ME in the 2.4.1 build I had to swap some apks to get.it to work. Is it possible that your settings carried over from one of the past roms? Or possibly my settings somehow carried over.from 2.4.1 onto 2.3b6? I did NOT go back to stock with this flash. I just used cwm/rm to upgrade. I did a full wipe, cleared user cache and user data twice to be sure. Then went and used the zip from sd card (2.3b6), applied darkness theme, applied nixxed circle battery mod. Then rebooted. (I also disabled lagfix before doing any of the above.)

Restored all apps with data with TiBu

EVERYTHING WORKS can do CW restores again. GPS does what GPS does...after a minute or five LOL

Gonna take a break from new ROMS awhile and watch the boards for the next really stable ROM without little issues like not being able to make a call. or on the fly restores.

Time to smell the roses and find something else more important to do with three hours a day..LOL

I haven't been keeping up with this thread the past few days, so I apologize if this has been mentioned. 2.3b6 had a bug for me where if you pressed the power button to lock the screen immediately after sending a text, it would cause the text to fail and you would have to hit resend. Again, not sure if this is a known issue or just one of those bugs that only happens to certain people, but I wanted to bring it up.

Market not working

Hi all, long time lurker first time poster. I just flashed the cognition 2.36 b6 on my captivate and the market worked for a little while (went out to dinner) went to try and download some app and nothing the download icon pops up in the notification bar but then quickly disappears.

Sorry if this is in the wrong section, and thank you for any help.

Question about voice dial

I am a recent Iphone 3/3gs/4 convert.

The one Iphone ability I used a lot was the hold home key voice call.

It worked very well.

With this rom I can unlock the screen hold the search and it voice search/calls -- most of the time. Sometimes it cannot connect? I hev seen acutal voice dial apps on some roms. Is voice search call and voice dial different?

Questions:

1: Can a lockscreen buttom be created to duplicate the Iphone hold home voice call function?

2: When I do voice call and end call I am always presented with a "Did you mean" box, I have to cancel out of. Can this be turned off.

Thanks

--john
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
The "in-call" dialpad has had the letters removed since about 2.1.x. This might have been just a "feature" of the leaked froyo.

Someone else mentioned that a theme gave them a dialpad with letters on the number keys. I couldn't find which would do that, and didn't want a bunch of themes either.

I know you can replace the Phone.apk with one from another firmware, but all I wanted was the letters on numbers in call.

So, I am going to outline how you can get your letters and numbers back. I used the zip for Cognition2.1.4 as my source.

The number keys are just image files in the Phone.apk file from /system/app.

Once you copy Phone.apk from 2.3b6 and 2.1.4, rename both to .zip files from .apk.

Then you can open them, and look in the /res/drawable-hdpi-finger directory in both.

The files start at call_dial_btn_00.png and continue down to call_dial_btn_11_press_h.png.

You will be able to see the difference in the button images. The images from 2.3b6 do not have letters with numbers and the ones from 2.1.4 do.

So using some kind of zip opening tool, open the Phone.apk (renamed Phone.zip) from 2.3b6, but do not extract it. Then open the same file from 2.1.4 and drag or copy the good button images on top of the files of the same name in 2.3b6, overwriting them.

Then close/save the Phone.zip for 2.3b6 and rename it Phone.apk and replace it on the phone.

You probably will want to fix the permissions on it since transferring it will mess them up.

You will probably get some FCs while the copy occurs.

I also rebooted after all of that.

I'm not going to provide completed files for this, maybe someone else will.

If you can't understand this, don't try it.

I'm not responsible for broken phones.

He actually mentioned in the Perception thread that if it catches on, he would probably dive 100% in on THAT ROM, so Cognition may well be abandoned. I'll wait til I see it from the horses/dev's mouth though. ;)
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I see why DG removed "Fastest and Safest Captivate ROM" from the title. I visited his other project, and WOW! I'm using it now and it's a beast. Lots of eye candy extras. He said he's not abandoning Cog, and I'm sure he will be bringing some new goodies with him.

Cognition VS Cognadian Bacon

I really believe both roms are amazing. Perception seems to be much faster than Cognition... battery life seems better on Cognition. If the wired headset issue is fixed on i9000 roms, then probably Cognition can leave for vacations, at least until new versions of captivate roms shows up. thats just my opinion... and opinion of a DG follower. Thank you.
[Captivate Android Development] ferris2375:
Yes you can. I flashed an i9000 kernel of this ROM and it works fantastic, plus I get OC/OV and BLN.

May not work for everyone, but perfect for me.
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Really, the only thing I can think of that really needs fixing with this version is whatever is screwing up Clcockwork and the ability to make backups. Otherwise, I haven't had one issue with 2.3beta 6, probably the best thing I've run to date. Fast, smooth, I've put several themes on it and everyone has worked without a glitch. I will be sad if it stops here.

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I am following the Perception thread closely even though I am not flashing anything for awhile until i see a stable version of it.

If Perception turns out as good as I think it can and will likely be around beta 7, I will not hesitate to abandon the Cappy ROMs. It is looking very good in early stages. but I am waiting for a 2.34b kind of stability with the only complaints being left out features and apks...(and of course the usual GPS and battery life complaints won;t count) Someone will always have issues there....

Every ROM seems to have a "peak" at which things can get worse while the Developers keep trying to make it better. I found the peak here at 2.34b right now (due to the CW issue in recovery 3e for me)

Usually the peak is when the complaints are missing keyboards and apps and not functional complaints anymore. then I know we are golden. Reading back 2,3b4 seemed to be in that realm. I really cannot tell the difference in speed between that and 2.3b6 with any reasonable accuracy.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
I used it too, but bluetooth didn't work with that configuration. Not good for driving.
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Since I was having "need to flash something" depression issues, I went ahead and flashed it just to see how it compared to Cog. So far I'm loving it. With the included Voltage Control app for OC/UV, it can be set to greatly reduce battery consumption.

biggest flaw of using i9000 roms on captivate is the BT issue - deal breaker for some.

BT works perfectly with the ported i9000 roms. It's the wired headset that doesn't work when placing calls.

That is download mode which is used for flashing your phone from a computer. May have gotten there by accident from power button menu. You should be able to pull your battery and reboot to get out of there.

I searched the thread and found little on the Camera Failed issue. I saw that a reboot fixed the problem in some cases (unfortunately not mine) and then someone said to reinstall the camera.apk

I'm trying to do that but I have never side loaded before. I tried with the Android Sideload Wonder Machine from Android Central but it says (rightfully so) that the apk is already installed.

I'm trying the:

1. Download and install the latest Android SDK from the Android Developer or click here.

* For easy of access, it is recommend to extract to local host root (C:)

2. Download and install the Java Developer Kit (JDK) from Sun or click here.

3. Download and install the latest Android Developer Bridge (ADB) driver located click here.

4. Enable USB Debugging under Settings>Applications>Development

5. The installation file should have an extension of .APK, if properly compiled. Place the application in the tools directory, i.e. (C:\android\tools)

6. Using the command prompt, go to the tools the folder (i.e cd\android\tools)

7. Type in ADB Install .APK

8. The ADB tool should now report the application to be installed. To verify, tap on Applications on the device and locate the name of the application.

method to see if perhaps that it won't care that it is already installed.

Any ideas?

P.S. I'd like to reiterate that I searched this thread before posting.
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
Incidentally I got the same result using the ADB command line method. I also tried to uninstall using adb but I got a failure. My guess is because this is a non-3rd party app.

Any suggestions on how to re-install this camera?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I guess I'd recommend reflashing but there is another option.

The Camera.apk file goes in /system/app

So, just try copying the file using root explorer, from where ever you have it. You will probably need to correct the permissions of the file after it is copied to /system/app

Most of the /system/app files won't install normally, but will reload when you copy them in and reboot.
[Captivate Android Development] JOe K.:
How do I get to that /system/apps directory (on the phone)?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:

So any update on the BT voice dialer working? I've the same problem as others have indicated, i.e. the voice dialer comes up by pressing the activity button on the headset (Moto H17), but the phone does not "hear" anything through the headset. I've tried Voice Dialer (09SepVoiceDialer.apk), Choice Dialer Plus and Vlingo. All of them have the same problem, so clearly it is not an app issue. When not using the BT headset, all of these apps are at least able to hear me through the phone mic, but even then they are rarely able to understand the correct command.

I'm loving this ROM till now, if the BT dialing can work I'd be the happiest man on earth :-).

Found a Battery Drain Culprit....I think

I have found that pretty much every version of Email.apk is a huge cause of battery drain on my Captivate. I noticed it happening a while back in an early Cog 2.2 and just turned it off and moved on. The original find was really bad. I could see it trying to sync all of the time when set up for my company's Exchange email. Often times it would not be able to sync new messages and calendar. I also didn't like that it controlled the security password requirement on my phone.

I found that one of the versions that DG used didn't control security so I've been using that one mainly because it didn't require a password and it seems to stay synchronized. I had been flashing so often that I didn't have time to compare the battery life with and without Email.apk set up for Exchange, and it had definitely gotten better anyway.

I'm on 2.3b6 and battery life has not been good. About 10-15% drain per hour even on very light usage. Today I removed the Exchange account and am 10 hours since charge, 2 hours of phone usage at high power since i live in the boonies, 1 hour display usage, and I still have 40% battery left.

Anyone else see this with Cog or Exchange email? I don't have this sync issue or any apparent drain when using gmail and yahoo clients.

On BT pairing issues, the only time I ever have had trouble pairing was after TiBu restoring some system data. If that was done, I'd clear data, reflash, and try BT pairing before restoring anything.

You may need to look up the clear data option on the BT device too. Some don't do well after a certain number of pairings.

I've been using 2.3b6 with Stereo and Voice over a few different devices.
