Yeah I caught that right after I posted but got it working. Thanks to everyone for quick replies.

Only thing I am bummed about is the keyboards, I can't type with swype if my life depended on it. But I am fine with getting those in myself considering how awesome the rest of it is!

If I wasn't a broke college kid everyone would have beers on me and double rounds for Designgears! Thank you!

Hey all! First time flasher. I flashed latest version of Cognition and it's freaking awesome! Loving the **** out of it!

Couple of things I noticed, maybe someone can help me. When I'm downloading or installing something from Market or wherever, it'll flash to the Cognition blue screen, and then back. My wifi would stop working at that point. I"d have to disconnect and reconnect.

Anyone else getting this?

Thanks for the awesome job!
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Thats bad. If this is frequent, I would flash again using CWM.

Copy the latest ROM to the SDCard. (DO NOT RENAME)

Open Rom Manager, choose "Install ROM from SD Card", navigate to your Cognition2.x.zip, and check “Wipe Data”. Watch the magic happen!

Note: if this is your first time installing clockwork, it may fail at stock recovery and reboot. Simply choose "reinstall packages" once more, and it should work properly.

Those were the exact steps I followed. Everything went through smoothly. I've been playing with the functions for the past couple hours and haven't found any issues with it. It's happened twice so far. When you say "that's bad", what exactly is bad?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Your having soft reboots which could be caused by many things. A reflash may take care of it unless it is from a mod you are making.

If the wifi disconnecting seemed to be a random issue I would not worry. I see this on occassion on many roms. If it happening a lot then you may want to reflash.

Does the market cause a soft reboot on att data network or only wifi?

This is "bad" and a good reason to reflash
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
Please elaborate?
[Captivate Android Development] EtherealRemnant:
You can tap with Swype too... it seems to be just about as accurate as the stock Sammy keyboard...
[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
Is that not clear? You are getting reboots. This does not happen to anyone else. Something is wrong.

If you have tried flashing twice already then I would try this

Flash to stock

Master reset

Flash the ROM

Read instructions and research carefully for each item

[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
I just want to chime in here and say when you flash to stock don't flash to stock froyo flash to stock eclair. Flashing to stock froyo will not work as clockwork is not supported on it. Now flashing to jj4 will work as it has the correct recovery.

Second thing is when you flash back to stock and load clockwork on save the update.zip file to either an external card or your comp so in the future you can just copy that back to the sd and you won't have to root to install clockwork.

I will post this on the wiki in the reference section

For those not following the clockwork steps please follow these steps here

Actually, I'm not having the issue, just wanted some more info as to why you suggested what you did. Cog 2.3b4 is working flawlessly for me.

why i cant use live wallpaper
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
With all do respect you have 2 posts and obviously have not read anything. Go back and read the last 40 or so pages and you will see that live wallpapers were not included in the rom and that you can download them.

This reply and your post could have been avoided if you had searched live wallpapers in the thread or just read the last 40 or so pages.

It's a well known bug. Don't use the dropdown notification or use ChompSMS or Handcent.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
No, he said if you change the modem you have to also change the kernel to something that supports the modem.

He also said that the phone status will always say HSDPA because that wont change, meaning you didn't see HSUPA there because even if you were using a modem and kernel that supported HSUPA it still wouldn't say it in the phone status.

[Captivate Android Development] airtower:
Figured it would be worth jumping in here to say...

1 - On previous Cog's, I've experienced this bug without using the the notification drawer or switching SMS threads at all. It seemed to be driven by receiving an SMS from someone for which a thread did not already exist. For example, I only keep my wife's thread in the messaging app, I receive a text from my girlfriend on the side thus starting a new thread, my reply to the girlfriend will go to my wife. (This situation is purely hypothetical and only used to illustrate the gravity of this bug :D)

This also only seemed to happen once per flash

2 - On 2.4.1 I've tried a number of different scenarios to replicate this, but I have not been able too.
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
Is it really worth the trouble though?
[Captivate Android Development] mcord11758:
That is my understanding and is why to date I have avoided it

Captivate

Cog 2.4
[Captivate Android Development] prim8:
OK

It was the only thing I changed and my battery life improved drastically.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
If it is being caused by something the user has done then it will likely be replicated when restoring after a new flash because stock cognition will not exhibit this behavior. Typically it is apparent what was done and can be corrected.

thanks for the work on this rom...just loaded the latest from 9.1.3.

everything works awesome, except my gps broke again with 2.3b4....appeared to work great with 9.1.3, got locked on quick to 8 or more satellites. Not sure how it actually tracked or performed with navigation as i don't really use the gps feature.

now it sees them satellites it just won't lock onto any. but, not a big deal...and it's a great rom.
[Captivate Android Development] malevy:
hey guys got a problem over here

I've tried re-doing my battery stats, as well as trying to re-calibrating it and my battery life still sucks. I literally lose 10% within an hour.

Any tips on improving the battery life
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
THIS.

i never said it wouldnt be stable, but you will have to run an i9000 kernel+i9000 modem if you want it to work without soft reboots or FC's. there are plenty of threads discussing this in the forums, i suggest you read up on them.
[Captivate Android Development] tsachi:
What I have seen, I get a total of 3 hours screen on time no matter what I do. Losing 10% in an hour with screen on for ~15 min is reasonable. With screen off I can get under 5% per hour.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Well I broke down and gave up 2.4.1 for 2.3b4.

I really don't notice much difference. I guess staying on the captivate ROM is a good idea though.

One thing happened though. Woke up to a dead phone plugged into the charger. Put a fresh battery in and all OK. Put the phone battery in the charger and it was fully charged in a few minutes,

Must have had a crash overnight....

I used Beautiful Widgets as well and got about 12 hours before having to swap out batteries. No way could I go a day and a half on a charge with any ROM on this phone. That is why i bought a couple extra batteries and the Samsung nightstand/charger. Always have a battery cooking in it and an extra one on me.

I think battery use conversations (and GPS) are too subjective to be of value anyway. Unless everyone does not use their phone for a charge cycle and leaves it in standby we will never really know what good battery life is or should be.

[Captivate Android Development] cnewsgrp:
If you have tried everything else then I think there are two options left. Either there is an app that is taking too much of your battery resources or you have a bad battery or other hardware issue.

One simple way to find out is to flash ROM again and try it out without restoring the apps you normally use. If you still have same problem after then its hardware.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
I saw this mentioned once but no replies though. I know DG set it up to auto generate the Android ID so in case you did not have the udpate.id saved on your sd card. But

I made sure it was there on the previous rom. After saving it and it reboots I went back in to Android Id Changed and it showed my correct id there. So I went onto 2.3b4 got everything set back up. Went and downloaded Android Id Changer just so I could verify it. It STILL resorted back to the id that we were all sharing with previous roms. I do not have an issue with it causing any ill effects with the market or apps so far. Just wondered why it didn't keep my original id. I had also backed that up to my external sd card and copied it back over just to be sure. Any ideas? Has anyone else checked it out? Did it keep your origonal id? Looks like I am stuck with ot for now. Hope someone could verify whether.it kept it, replaced it, or generated a new id? Thanks

[Captivate Android Development] dahud:
Yeah, I saw that, but I was wondering if haptic was breaking something else, if designgears just doesn't like the feedback, or if it just stopped working for no apparent reason. ;)

I really miss the feeling that I was doing physical things.
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
so enable it yourself
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
You enable it in sounds under settings
[Captivate Android Development] dahud:
Would that entail modification of the rom, or is there a setting somewhere that I missed?
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
I think Haptic Feedback is only broken on the Android Keyboard.

The release note about disabled only indicates that is default position. Settings>Sound and turn it back on, works fine.
[Captivate Android Development] daverup:
The Android ID Changer app and Cognition 2.3b4 do not play well together.

If you want to read your device ID, use Android Device ID from the market.

If you know your correct ID, edit the udpate.id file and insert the correct number and reboot.

Then the script should pick it up and use it, verify with Android Device ID
[Captivate Android Development] Pirateghost:
settings, sound, haptic feedback. its there on EVERY rom including stock.
[Captivate Android Development] dahud:
I did that, but in stock almost all buttons triggered it.
[Captivate Android Development] RockRatt:
Perfect. Thanks. I had tried editing it previously. Going nack to Android idchanger to save it and it would go back to tje 977#. On your advice I edited.it and just rebooted and now it is reading it correctly. Thanks again..

How would one go about keeping the Froyo lock screen AND still have music controls while the screen is locked?

I know it's possible. The first time I had flashed Cognition 2.2, I downloaded to android.policy.odex and had both. But I tried that method again and still no music controls.

I had one that wouldnt get in download mode either, not much you can do in that situation and it makes flashing iffy to say the least as you never know when problems will come up. If there is a work around for that I would love to know it.
[Captivate Android Development] vietn95:
I have a quick questions about GPS on BETA 5.

When you guys get a quick lock:

Are you inside our outside?

Is Network assist Off or On?

Stock Settings or Modified?

If you had the chance to do a test drive, Does the Gps still jump around?

Thanks! I just wanted to verify some things because my gps doesn't work as well as others on here. Maybe the info would help others as well.
[Captivate Android Development] Kizzmiazz:
+1 on that. I still have the phone and my wife would love me again lol. But in the dg chat last night had a few devs whisper me and said I'm screwed. I know how to do all this been doing it for a while now and tried all . You can brick a captivate that has the 3 button problem.

I had this problem before as well. I'm not sure if this helps but I was on stock and Installed OCLF, root it but doesn't install the lagfix. Then after I confirm the phone is rooted and I Tried the 3 button and it works! I got into Download mode :) ... before it would just pop up the charging notification.

Also I found this helpful:

Turn phone off.

Pull out sim and battery.

Run odin.

Plug usb into computer and connect to phone WITHOUT the battery in it.

Hold the up and down volume

Then put in the battery while holding the volume buttons down.

So far it's worked every time :)
[Captivate Android Development] pewpewbangbang:
Sry i just flashed to v2.2 beta 5 and so im guessing theres no haptic feedback at all??? none for typing or the 4 buttons.
[Captivate Android Development] gocats7:
You can also lose the ability to do three button combo as my second captivate could when I got it and then after a failed ROM load, I couldnt anymore.

In regards to GPS, I do not with stock settings or modified setting running 2.2.5 have a problem getting a lock stationary. It is when I am in a car. I just did a test drive with the settings I listed in an earlier post and it did a better job than the stock settings for me but still not great. I have had it a bit better but its usable. It seems like a real game between changing settings, deleting GPS data, etc. I will say that when I have updated ROMs and didnt do a master clear before applying it I had more problems with GPS no matter what I did. I always try to do a master clear before I apply any ROM and that has seemed to make it more stable but obviously not perfect. I do not think the GPS on this phone will ever be right, I think the best we can hope for is make it usable.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It is there, you just have to turn it on. Go into sound settings and got to the bottom.
[Captivate Android Development] Shival:
Master Clear

Soooo, about Master Clear, is it a good thing to do in-between ROMS?
[Captivate Android Development] himmelhauk:
Or you can just run ADB and enter the command: reboot download

That's what I have always done as mine wouldn't work with any other method be it the 3 button combo or the one just previously mentioned.

The steps for me would be:

Plug the phone to the computer

Go to Run, type CMD

Then type: cd C:\android-sdk-windows\tools

Enter

Then type: adb shell

Enter

If you get the "$" then type: su and hit enter, if not then skip and go to next step

You should have the "#" (pound sign), now type: reboot download

Wherever you have the Android SDK is the folder you navigate to in place of mine. This method is proven to work every single time, I can attest to that.

have you enable it in settings or does it not work at all?

My first captivate had the 3 button working fine. But the one i am currently using doesn't work when i first got it. Then it works after i did what i mentioned earlier.

Yeah, I've read your posts. But some people on here have network assist on so they get very accurate locks but that' doesn't show that gps is working great or not. I have the feeling that the gps on this phone could be a hardware issue. Coming from a Nokia phone which has top notch gps feature, kinda felt uncomfortable when gps doesn't work right on this awesome phone. But oh well, it's not a big of a deal. The rest of the phone is still awesome.

Yes! it's recommended. But make sure you back everything up because it will wipe EVERYTHING! Music,photos,etc...

it's been said many times that rom manager doesn't support 2.2 so you either go back to 2.1 and use rom manager or do the faster way and use odin version to flash all in one step with out having to go back 2.1 for rom manager.

very happy with 2.3b4

Just wanted to say thanks to the DG guys. 2.3b4 is pretty damn solid. GPS is about as good as can be expected, battery life is great (got just under 10hrs yesterday w/ pretty heavy use.. battery recalibration worked wonders too.. thanks to whoever posted those steps), had to find & install the stock keyboard but thats part of the fun of having an Android phone, and overall it seems very snappy!

2 things that have been happening since 2.3

Launcher Pro FC's on reboot (only sometimes tried reinstalling and still does it)

every now and then SMS goes to the wrong person (could get some people in trouble ;)

1 question about 2.3b4..

I cant find the settings to change what happens after a voice call ends.. right now it goes to a screen where I can, Call, Message or Video Call.. any way to change that?

And finally 1 comment I have from lurking around this thread...

I wonder if the same people desperately looking for the Live Wallpapers are the same people complaining about battery life.. hmmm

[Captivate Android Development] Phoenix-Lead:
Hey guys and gals.

First off I want to say thank you to DG for creating this great ROM. I have been following Cog since the beginning and love it!! The only problem I ran into and I know a few people have reported is GPS issues. I have found a "solution" that works for me and wanted to share it with you all. I did some research and realized that there was a fix located in the I9000 dev forums and gave it a go. It is based on the JM9 build and works flawlessly for me. I now lock on with high 30's/low 40's SnR and lock indoors too. On average, 6-8 Sat locks indoors and 11-12 outdoors. I have been running this fix for about a week and a half and it has held true the whole time. And yes, it even works while driving ;). I know there are a lot of "fixes" out there, so if you read this and it makes you mad, oh well. Should have stopped when you saw the word GPS. I am here to try and help. Here is the link to the I9000 forum I got the files from. Just flash them with Rom Manager, Delete GPS stats and your good to go. Don't forget to update your Google Maps if you haven't already done so. That helps too! http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=831725

In my experience, if you use a HSUPA kernel (even without a HSUPA modem), your bluetooth will only play loud static in your ear whenever it attempts to transmit sound.
