I noticed on the download site that for 2.3b3 there is only one file (flashable through Rom Manager). It also says that it does not wipe /data. If I am already running 2.3b2 and install this file, will it be just like the incremental update that I used for 2.3b2? As in, none of my settings or programs will disappear, everything will be just as it was except I will be running 2.3b3?
[Captivate Android Development] cachookaman:
nope. the data wipe is concerning this:
[Captivate Android Development] goojman:
if i'm @ 2.3b1, do I have to disable voodoo before upgrading to 2.3b3??
[Captivate Android Development] oh5srt4:
Thanks man!!!! Works great, so nice having my android keyboard back!!!
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
I went ahead and installed this newest update ... I just can't help myself ... LOL. I did not select to wipe data and when I installed the update, all my settings and programs are still there. Thus far they all seem to work as well. As well, I did check under "About Phone" and it lists "Cognition.v2.3b3" for the "Build Number" so it wasn't just a failed install.
[Captivate Android Development] tkienzle:
Nice just what i wanted to here...thanks for the info...
[Captivate Android Development] zrx12mike:
That is cool, what version were you running previously?
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
DG - just a reminder, you need to change the title in the first post. It still says v2.3b2.

Like I said just a reminder.

Thanks for the hard work, I'll be flashing this tonight.

Sent from my speedy and sentient captivate thanks to cognition!
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
I was running 2.3b2 and upgraded to 2.3b3
[Captivate Android Development] pchic:
jj4 or JI6

it states in the notes that this reverts back to JI6 however when I flash it still shows JJ4...did I do something wrong?
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
No, it's just that the three specific apks were culled from JI6.
[Captivate Android Development] pchic:
perfect thanks,
[Captivate Android Development] IceMonkey82:
I don't know if this has happened with anyone else ... after upgrading to 2.3b3, I decided to re-enable Voodoo just because (on the previous 2.3b2 I had not enable Voodoo because I felt it didn't need it as much). So, I deleted the disable-lagfix folder I had created and rebooted. The reboot took a while as expected but when it finished booting, EVERYTHING was force closing. Currently, I have One-Clicked back to stock, rooted, installed ROM Manager and am in the process of re-installing 2.3b3. Just thought I'd put this out there as food for thought of my experience.
[Captivate Android Development] timur525:
If you downloaded the update on, your phone go to recovery, reinstall packages, install rom from zip, select zip manually, go to downloads, select the update watch the magic happen. If downloaded on computer just put the update in your root directory and .......
[Captivate Android Development] hansmrtn:
when will that be released?
[Captivate Android Development] askpcguy:
Odin needs to be open before plugging the USB cable in. If you pull the battery, open Odin, insert the battery, then hold vol up/down THEN insert the USB cable to the PC with the vol up/down buttons held in (phone is OFF) the phone enters download mode.
[Captivate Android Development] ogar1978:
I will vouch for the email forwarding issue. Its also an issue with the plain froyo build so it has nothing to do with DGs changes.
[Captivate Android Development] connectx:
And after that do I just press start ?

I believe I receive an error message in odin when I try to do that.
[Captivate Android Development] treylemkn:
Any idea when it will work with 2.2?
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
DG should just add to the thread topic "Restore to Stock now" before release... why do i have this feeling i'll be flashing again soon.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
Yay! I don't know if I'm more excited that Beta 5 is coming or that the Master himself replied to my post!

Might I suggest that Voice Search also be included? This is one of the best things about Froyo, IMO. I actually would have missed it entirely had it not been mentioned in passing in this thread.

Again - thanks for all of your work on these ROM's. Donation headed your way!

EDIT: Donation sent! Confirmation #8WB7605662546321U
[Captivate Android Development] connectx:
It just sits there, this happens prior to me clicking start on Odin and thats whats really odd about it.
[Captivate Android Development] chvybeatsford:
I have no issues with mms....beta 4... Only thing with mms is it didn't like to send on edge....takes a min our so.....

Other problem I have is the video problem I posted before about the back button not working.have to use the on screen back button...

My steps is

Odin one click stock...

Master reset ...using dail pad *2767*3855#

Root

Load rom manager

Instal beta

Oclf

Then load my apps manually...no back up....
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
make sure you're doing it correctly.

open odin, turn phone ON, plug into pc, master clear, takes about 2 minutes.

some people think that since you use odin to re flash that the master clear option needs to be used while in download mode. this is incorrect and will result in odin acting as if it is frozen. cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] mxk271:
my phone keeps shutting off on it's own since i updated to 2.2.4. hopefully beta 5 will be out soon so i can just redo everything to beta 5 instead. (:
[Captivate Android Development] kangi26:
That is how I do my ROM updates. So my guess is that is a bitpart of my good battery life
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
i never had a randy reboot until i was on 2.2b1. ugh. let's hope this isn't something its going to do often, or else i'll always be late to work.
[Captivate Android Development] chasesavestheday:
i've seen nothing but awesome battery life from DG's ROM's. except for one of the 2.1 versions which had uv/oc enabled. i have a feeling many of you are not being battery friendly to the device. kill those apps, disable that gps, wifi etc when it is not needed.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
I'm pretty sure it is.
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
Does Odin get to the point where it says "DO NOT POWER OFF!!" and just sit there? Are you using Windows 7 or Vista 64bit? I had that problem with Win7 64bit and do a battery pull, remove sim, put battery back, start Odin, hold vol up/down on phone and plug USB cable in. After clicking start it always flashes.
[Captivate Android Development] capefearless:
cool. my flash finger is at the ready!
[Captivate Android Development] connectx:
Correct, it says "Downloading Do not Turn of Target!!!!" When I press start I get <OSM> All threads completed. (succeed 0 / failed 0) I tired to take out battery and put it back in, boot the phone with volume key while its plugged in

I am using Windows 7 64 bit. I provided a screenshot earlier. Not sure whats going on :(
[Captivate Android Development] robertwileysr:
Awesomeness! Thanks!
[Captivate Android Development] terrigan:
Did you take out the sim card like in my directions?
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
If i wanted to use the JPM modem with cognition, is it just a matter of flashing in the modem?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
I just want to thank DG, as well as everyone else involved in making Cognition such a success. Hard to believe that you are going to hit 1,000,000 views on this thread alone already!! Congratulations DG and nice work. Loving the latest release. Have a few cold ones on me this weekend to celebrate!

Very clean install...initial results

I did an install following the guidelines of doing most clearings: reset to factory, etc, and CWM installed. Then used TIBU and only installed user apps and data that weren't already on the phone, and none that had update 2 fix 1. I had various FCs and issues.

So last night I did every type erase, cache clear, etc, I could find, short of running it through an X-ray. I installed the One click 2.1 ODIN; then the 9.1.3 Odin; then the CWM of 2.3b2, and then the update.

I then installed apps from Market, but not near all of them (I had 104 before). I did restore some data for a small number.

It is running very smooth, and fast, with no FCs.

The only problem I do have, which I also had on 9.1.3, is that at home I continually do short drops of my wifi, which is quite annoying. I'm not sure if it was doing that on 2.1. I have a backup of my 2.1.6 (which I don't think was droppiong Wifi, but not positive), which I'm tempted to go back to just to see how wifi works.

GPS is working better than it ever has. Accuracy toggles between 16.4' and 32.8'. I'm doing a longer drive tonight and will see how that goes.

And I intend to gradually add apps to ultimately see if any particular addition starts FCs.

Net Net of this post - It seems that a complete cleaning, and install path from 2.1 (maybe that part wasn't necessary, but not that more effort) has given me the best response so far. (I did a couple other installs I didn't outline).
[Captivate Android Development] Faux_ghost:
Im not liking the Force close for everything once I installed the 3b2
[Captivate Android Development] parisallen1:
where can i get Cognition v2.3b2?

The link on the 1st page of this thread is not working?
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
So i seem to be having the same problem as the other guy.. I disabled lagfix.. flash back to stock, rooted, installed rom manager, updated to 2.3b3, rebooted, and the everything is force closing.. android.phone is force closing and so is messaging.
[Captivate Android Development] neo_31591:
im on 2.3b2 and my notifications volume always comes down to 25% after a while...whats wrong? ? ? I didnt have this problem when there was an option of the ringtone and notification volume to be the same
[Captivate Android Development] Chuckd610:
Same here...dunno what's going on.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
So i just wiped and tried again.. Same problem.. When I install 2.3b3 once its installed I shut off the phone and put my sim back in, and then android.phone starts FCing over and over
[Captivate Android Development] Zealousky:
Hi All,

I'm a noob on Android phones but I got a Samsung Captivate before (like the day before) 2.3b1 came out. I'm famaliar with APN info from having a AT&T Tilt a few years ago and flashing that. I can't find where to check if my data and whatnot is roaming on the Android though, or where to enter the APN info if I need to. Can someone point me in the right direction?

Thanks,

Z
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
Okay, just wanted to say that after a stats wipe my battery life is amazing with 2.3b1! After 16 hours of normal use (web surfing, foursquare, using my tracks for 0.6 miles in my neighborhood, tweetdecking etc.) I was still at 70% last night.

I've never had this good of battery life with my Captivate or MT3G!
[Captivate Android Development] phohammer:
For the APN info, go to settings>Wireless and network>Mobile networks>Access Point Names
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
Reflash and make sure you follow all steps. Many have no FC it is not a Rom problem

Captivate

Cog 2.2
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
Haven't checked the thread since I flashed to 2.3B2 last night, but for those wanting your task manager and or feeds and updates widgets back I fumbled my way through SUPER MANAGER (which is a free root explorer and then SOME), enabled root in options, downloaded the apks from DGs site on the phone, used super manager to move the files to sys/apps, long clicked them, install, rebooted, and the widgets were back...

Oh yeah, so far this build rocks
[Captivate Android Development] LamboDroid19:
I have it successfully applied to cog 2.3b2 and works flawlessly... All I did was replace a few .png files to the new framework from the old...i applied these via terminal emulator....i will attach both the twframework and the framework files if nobody beats me to it....it does include color icons,circle battery and transparent notification window with the cog logo....i have never attached anything b4 so it might take awhile plus im at school.....expect to see it about 1......DG you should add the notification with cog logo on the next build....loving the awesome ROM...thanks DG

Seriously though DG, you're a friggin' legend man. Keep doin what you're doin. I'll be sure to donate some beer money as soon as I get paid.
[Captivate Android Development] A.VOID:
no fc's for me.

installed with data/cache wipe out of cw.

As I read it, he only used JI6 for some settings stuff.

I still have JJ as the baseband and showing in the release.

My Android keyboard works correctly with the predictive text.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
Flashed to beta 2 this time instead of beta 3 and its working fine..

can't wait to flash!!!
[Captivate Android Development] gotfolk:
Charging the phone as we speak. Going to try to bust out all the jobs I have waiting in the queue.

I usually always go back to stock (odin 1 click) master clear ect ect. before applying a new rom. i am currently on 2.2b9...

Debating on just cwm'ing it on or doing the tried and true way of going back to stock ect ect....

hmmmm... cant really make up my mind on this... lol
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
By the way, since doing that complete wipe / install I described a few posts ago, my Market has been working flawlessly.
[Captivate Android Development] lavafox:
Flashed from v2.2b9.3.1 to v.2.3b3. No data wipe. Email is not launching. Tethering works really well.
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
Just tried installing directly over 2.2 Beta 6 and got the FCs. Going back to the way I flashed in the past - Odin 1-click to JF6, Master Clear, root, install ROM Manager/CWM and flash that way. I'll see how it goes.

The nice thing, had it worked right, was all of my settings and apps were unchanged.
[Captivate Android Development] xtremeskier:
Hey DG I noticed you mentioned that the circle battery mod won't work in b3, but will Nixxed's stock lock replacement for 2.3b+ work with b3?
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
I'm not sure but I think 2.3b3 is an "Update" and not a full ROM like 2.3b1.

You may have to make a stop at 2.3b1 first and then use CW to complete the 2.3b3 upgrade.

If any of you have modded your icons or lock screen, you may run into issues going from 2.3b2 to 2.3b3 since DG states that those are incompatible with b3 at this time.

Therefore, data wipe is a must or don't take any chances and just flash back to 2.3b1 before going to this latest version.

If you have not modded your phone in any way (and you are running 2.3b1 or b2), then you should be able to perform the upgrade to b3 without data wipe.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
Updates are labeled with update... ;)

Stock Lock and Circle Battery Mods

* NO LONGER COMPATIBLE STARTING AT BETA3

* Wait for NiXXeD to update!
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:

[Captivate Android Development] Zealousky:

[Captivate Android Development] reno55:
I am getting ready to flash from 2.2 b9. I noticed thgough I have no voodoo folder in my sd directory. This means voodoo is not running right?
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Noted that 2.3b3 is not an update.

That said, should upgrades from non-2.3 ROMs be performed with a data wipe?

Would that prevent the FC problem some seem to be having?

Has anyone successfully upgraded from a non-2.3 ROM to 2.3b3 with no issues or FCs?

If so, please share your upgrade process for others to follow.
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
make sure you're in the right directory. are you looking around in ~/sdcard or ~/sdcard/sd?

the directory is located in ~sdcard/voodoo, not ~sdcard/sd/voodoo.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I had backed off to 2.1.x due to a few issues with 2.2.

Flashed to 2.3b2 yesterday with RM, used the "flash twice" technique without returning to stock. b2 cleared the data and everything but MobileAP was running well.

Flashed the 2.3b3 zip using RM today, MobileAP running nicely now.

2.3 bluetooth is much better than 2.2 for me.

Thanks again DG, great job!
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
I'm not getting FC issues. I just installed 2.3b3 via RM without wiping data.
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
What ROM version were you at before upgrading?

Also, did you have any mods (circle batt; lock screen) in place prior to the upgrade?
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
Reflashed a second time after master clear and going back to stock JF6. Tons of FCs for phone process - couldn't hardly do anything on it. Managed to get into ROM Manager and tried reflashing again from it. Wiped data and cache and now everything works great.
[Captivate Android Development] fufuplatter:
I was on 2.3b1. Skipped 2.3b2 due to laziness :rolleyes:

I didn't have any mods...

If I wanted to try the JPM modem, is it just a matter of flashing it with odin? Or do I need to actually reflash the whole reorient kernel and all?

Maybe im really new to this but what do I do with the four folders. i read the wiki but it tells me the zip should contain odin and other files. do i put it in internal sd and run the update?
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
I upgraded from non 2.3 ROM to 2.3b1. Then applied two updates and finally applied 2.3b3 today morning. I did all this using ROM Manager. No issues for me.

I don't think the updates were necessary but did that anyway.
[Captivate Android Development] fosselman:
I did ODIN one click and then installed 2.3b3. I have no force closes until I put my sim card in and then it goes crazy.

Thank you for finding the fix. I had the android keyboard.APk but it kept saying couldn't install. Used super manager and copied the two files you posted to the system/apps folder. It works great!!! Thanks because I was just getting used to swype and was ready to switch back.
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
just got my cap a couple of days ago, and its rooted and backed up. From what I've read around the forum, GPS is hit or miss on these phones, and from stock mine is pretty much solid. I upgraded from iCrap, and I feel like my lock speed and accuracy is pretty much as quick as that old thing. Am i gonna lose my apparent above average gps flashing Cog onto my phone? anyone that came from stock w/ good gps see any diff?
[Captivate Android Development] ozone777:
Try that same process again except this time do a data/cache wipe from ROM Manager.

Then let us know your results.
[Captivate Android Development] Ranatsu:
same scenario i had man..

Just flash 2.3b2 and then flash beta 3 over that.. This is what I did and its working correctly now.
[Captivate Android Development] mburke43:
I haven't tested out Cog2.3, but from my experience and my roommates with 2.2 (granted this is a small test group), you may or may not. My roommate didn't, I did. Good luck, and fingers crossed for you!

GPS is working the best it ever has for me with Cognition V2.3B2. I found that the latest version of Google Maps handles our subpar GPS poorly. The result is very poor accuracy with a lot of drifting and jumping ahead/back. I thing Google changed their location algorithm. Try Google MAPS 4.4.

Keyboard Dictionary

Its not so much as knowing how to spell but one simple thing that I found frustrating, until getting the new dictionary, was that with the android keyboard double tap of the space bar did not put a period at the end of my sentence. That was the killer for me and was why I need a fix. Spelling isn't an issue unless I pushed the wrong letter while typing.

Battery life.

Guys. I dont know if is just my cappy, but the battery life before and after JJ4 are kind of different. On the time of 2.2 betas i could easily do +36 hours with my normal use(exchange, calls, angry birds, etc) But on 2.3 betas... im below 18 hours or worse, and im trying to do less use just to see if i can see what is consuming my battery so fast. Even at night with no use at all, on 2.2 betas i usually have maximum 4 % of battery decrease, and now with 2.3 betas, for 4 nights in a row, i have 12 - 15% of decrease. I havent change anything on my normal behavior, and i flashed with 100% charge on the phone.

[Captivate Android Development] brunson:
I'm kinda lost like you. I got SGS Tools and what was in the quoted your post looks like my IMEI, which I think identifies your phone to the GSM network and is illegal to change.

When I plug my device into my USB and run "adb devices" I get "I8971e1cxxxx" (x=digit). I saw another post you replied to claiming the "universal device id" starts with 997, but I can't find any number that starts with 997 using SGS Tools.

Can someone clear this up. There are apparently at least four of us that are confused about the issue.

Edit: Aha! My Marketplace download finally finished and "Android Device ID" is now reporting "9774d56d682e549c". If reverting to an old ROM allows you to find your device id, it must be stored somewhere on the phone, right? Why can't the newer ROMs access it? Does anyone know where it's stored? Or do you have to restore from a ROM backup that was made from your phone to recover the device id?
