Well I will be running this one for now, When I see Perception get updated and the issues fixed with it but for now this 2.3b8 is running solid, why change it when it is running even better then the first beta. Literally I see this one not having the issues that I had with ucji6 when it was first leaked!

Thank you for the info!

Charlie

Does anyone else have an issue loading webpages in the browser using wifi? Once I turn the wifi off pages load fine. Im on cog beta 8 and it happened with 7 too. Other than that great stable rom, thank you again dg.
[Captivate Android Development] dmnall:
No issues at all, but I did have it with ucji6 *when designgears first leaked it*, and ran that for 2 months before I decided to actually jump over to cognition build, yesterday. So far 2.3b8 is running a lot better, no more bluetooth remote sim messages, phone randomly just acting like a soft reboot *loses signal and having to rescan the sd card as well as resetting my market settings*. Time will tell, however, Wifi turns off and on with out any issues, unfortunately, ucji6 would error out.

Cheers,

Charlie

theres no WCDMA/GSM switch D:

nevertheless great rom! :D
[Captivate Android Development] nofxsapunk:
I've been having issues loading app icons with 2.3b8 it seems that the issue is in both my apps and apps in the marketplace.

I have also been experiencing with lag in the marketplace but I don't know if that's because of the new marketplace design or not.

Anyone else having these issues?
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That is correct, DG gave 40 megs more to the system for smoother operation. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
I bet ten imaginary dollars that you can't ping your DNS servers. My previous phone, and now my Captivate simply HATE one of my buddie's wifi networks. I can see it, I can enter the WEP, I even get an IP address and can ping the gateway. What I cannot do, is talk to the DNS servers. I still have not figured this out, since when I am over there, I am drinking things that impair my troubleshooting skills and playing games. Better things to do, so.

Were you ever able to connect to this network? I am fairly convinced it is some incompatibility between the DHCP service on that particular router, or possibly a hardware issue with that particular chipset combo.

My buddie's Droid 2 likewise cannot connect to this wifi network, but the Dell laptop can. There are some combinations that just seem to not work.

Good luck.

Whats the difference between the modem in B8 and the JJ4 modem?
[Captivate Android Development] bigjimsax:
I hear ya, however I wrote and submitted my message on the xda app using the wifi connection haha. So everything else, such as market, xda app, and even pandora work fine when using wifi. I probably should've mentioned that. I'll try to do some resets and I'll have a couple people at work try to troubleshoot it. Will keep you posted. Thanks
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Everyone, if you want HSUPA you want to load Perception. You do not want to mix-match the i9000 modems with Cognition.
[Captivate Android Development] loraque:
Perhaps cached DNS listings? I have seen that same semi-functional, and it is usually the sites I had connected to previously (cached) only that work. New sites (unchached) do not work, which is why I suspect DNS.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
That's your opinion and you're entitled to it, but I strongly disagree. My phone, for whatever reason, will not go more than a day without completely losing the entire cellular connection when on a pure i9000 rom. It takes a reboot to bring it back. however, the combination of Cognition (a captivate based framework/ROM) and and i9000 kernel and modem works flawlessly. Currently, I'm running Cognition b7 but flashed CogKernel4 (from Perception B9) and the JK4 modem over it. Good battery life and good speeds as well. best of all, no lost connectivity.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
If you would bother to read around the forum you would have learned something you seem to have overlooked....

Captivate Kernels Only Work With Captivate Modems!!

Captivate Modems Only Work With Captivate Kernels!!

Mixing them = either no data, but good voice...... or voice, but no data....

You CAN NOT have voice AND data mixing cap captivate with I9000.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
If you had bothered to actually read my post instead of jumping to a conclusion, you'd see that I'm using a i9000 kernel and an i9000 modem in a Captivate ROM....which works perfectly fine.

It's no different than 2.3b7 when dg included CogKernel2 (an i9000 kernel) and JK3 (an i9000 modem).
[Captivate Android Development] mark72501:
I think you misread his post... ... ...

EDIT: OK, he beat me to it...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Again, note the highlit part.... YOU OPINION IS WRONG!!!! YOU CANNOT MIX CAPTIVATE MODEMS WITH I9000 KERNELS.

If you have voice and data, then you are NOT running a mix. You are either on both i9000 or both captivate. No one cares what ROM you are running. It's the KERNEL and MODEM that cannot be mixed.

Try learning..... reading and comprehension are very helpful.
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
dude, he just said TWICE that he's not mixing them. he's using an i9000 modem and an i9000 kernel.
[Captivate Android Development] alephnaut:
Great ROM, I'm loving it so far.

How do I disable Ad blocking? I think it's interfering with the free version of Pandora.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Can you read? I'm forced to ask that question since you either 1:can't read, 2:lack the ability to comprehend or 3:Just refuse to actually read and jump to your own conclusions.

I've said twice now that I'm using CogKernel4 (an i9000 kernel) andthe JK4 modem (an i9000 modem). The ROM/Framework part is meaningless when it comes to voice and data. All that matters is that the kernel and modem match, which they do.

Sheesh...
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
And if you read back to where this all started, you will see that in his 1st post, he told the person who said you cant mix modem and kernel they are wrong. THAT IS AN INCORRECT STATEMENT.;)
[Captivate Android Development] alephnaut:
Heh, turns out all you have to do is install AdFree from the android marketplace then uninstall it.
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
The person said that if you want HSUPA you want to load Perception. I simply disagreed with that.

Are you seriously trying to pick a fight over something so insignificant?
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
Ok, it wasn't until Cog B7 that it changed from a captivate to, at the time, jpm sources. So up until 10 days ago, Cog was a strictly captivate-based rom, which would have made you incorrect and the person who mentioned perception right. For most of us that have been following DG's work since before there was EITHER cog or perc, it was simply thought of as cog=captivate and perc=i9000. i havent been on cognition since the 1st move to perception, so i was unaware that it is now i9000 based also. Until that point, you could NOT get hsupa on cog, as i now see you know. My mistake.
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
cognition isn't i9000 based though. it's based on i897ucjj4.
[Captivate Android Development] techmik67:
I was done with this, but you wanna keep it up, fine.....

CHANGELOG:

v2.3b6 - v2.3b7 (12/08/2010)

CogKernel2(based on jpm sources) + JK3 Modem:

Cut DIRECTLY from the changelog on dg's page. Also:

v2.3b7 - v2.3b8 (12/17/2010)

Added supercurio's stock+Voodoo stable 5.x for Captivate

Added JI6 Modem

Removed CogKernel2

Fixed bluetooth static

(Decided I need to keep this rom pure captivate)

So.... from 12/8-12/17, it WAS jpm based and had hsupa support. SINCE THEN, it has apparently gone back to captivate based.

So, I guess I WAS right after all. Cog 8=captivate=NO HSUPA
[Captivate Android Development] BLWedge09:
Correct, it is again now. But, 2.3b7 was Captivate Framework mixed with an i9000 kernel (CogKernel2) and an i9000 modem(JK3). dg went back to pure captivate for 2.3b8.

The only point I'm trying to make, is that the Cognition framework/ROM will work fine if you flash an i9000 kernel and modem over the Captivate modem and kernel.

Most people want pure captivate or straight i9000. Even though I flash something new daily, I've run every one of dg's versions of Cognition and Perception and the best combo for me so far has been the Cognition ROM with CogKernel4 and the JK4 modem flashed over it.

Bickering

You guys need to take this argument to PM or someone find a moral high ground because this !#$ is bananas. B-a-n-a-n-a-s.
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
That was only the kernel that was i9k based, the rest was JJ4

HEEEYYYY, youre both right...

Now knock it off.
[Captivate Android Development] sdimezq8:
I also am having the same problem. I could not delete or replace the email.apk with root explorer. I had just done this a few hours earlier on perception w/o problems. :confused:
[Captivate Android Development] onelight:
Is the host file that comes with Cognition the same one from AdFree which would be by mvp hosts...? I can't seem to find a folder which contains the file so I'm assuming i need to use adb to bring it up...:confused:
[Captivate Android Development] BetaRoc:
Soooooo...lol. Without having to read 1190 pages of posts...overall how happy is everyone with this current build of this ROM?

Any significant problems?

I had 2.1 rooted with OCLF and Beast and was very happy, but could never find a good fix for the GPS problems and was having some intermitent Wifi problems where I would just hang while trying to obtain an address while connecting, even though I had connected there before. Weird.

I went completely back to stock with Odin and now would like to flash a ROM and Cognition seems to be a dominant choice.

Feedback?
[Captivate Android Development] slifer315:
the hosts file is in /system/etc so you'll need either root explorer or adb to access or remove it.
[Captivate Android Development] markpaiz:
I'm running Cog 2.3.8 with a fresh install from stock 2.1 (flashed with Odin): its churning out 1490 in Quadrant and 13-14 in Linpack. Smooth, no lag, I've had one FC it was with LauncherPro, fine since. I've been using it extensively for between 2 and 3 days now, battery life is good for a day of moderate use. No strange errors like Perception, DG has this rom on Lock since 2.3.6 if you just ignore 2.3.7 (he got all experimental or made a mistake with the kernel) hence why so seldom the updates. IMO, do it. Also, GPS isn't a rom issue, no rom has fixed it. Im convinced its an inconsistent hardware issue that varies from phone to phone.

Cheers.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
First Cog Flash in a long time....I Like it.

Flashed the the Epic GPS fix and GPSJP9 files and GPS locked indoors in less than 20 seconds 7 sats 10 meters....amazing.

I don't notice much difference between this and Perception ROM as far as performance goes.
[Captivate Android Development] vuoflfan:
how can i put the att's mobitv back on my phone?
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
Why not use hulu instead? Not hard to get it working..only a couple files...and is much better imo. Otherwise you need to find the removed apks and reinstall what you need....these used to be available on one of dg sites but not sure where.
[Captivate Android Development] onelight:
I appreciate the advice...I got to see it now with the root explorer app along with all the system files now...
[Captivate Android Development] vuoflfan:
what channels does hulu carry....there only a couple on mobitv that i watch....i did a back up....but it carried no app....just data
[Captivate Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
Did you check out the GPS performance of Cog 2.3b8 before applying fixes ?

Was this the link you grabbed the Epic GPS Fix from ?

[Captivate Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
I found that my Cappy, much like my PS3 and PSP, simply didn't like to hookup to my dhcp setup on my home wifi setup. What does work is setting up IP addresses as static for each of the respective devices. For my cappy, I use the app WiFi Static. I set it up so that it uses a static IP when connecting to my home wifi. Otherwise, it uses DHCP when travelling out in the real world. Maybe that would work as an option for you. I am using WPA Personal for encryption. I only had to start using a static IP when I introduced a range expander into my wifi network. Prior to its introduction, it was working fine. However, I am good with the way it works now.
[Captivate Android Development] bsc7080xsc:
I was having the same problem with the i9000 series ROMs. Its still a mystery. I read elsewhere that if you turn the Mobile AP on and then off again, that it will bring back the network connection.... without a reboot. I can't confirm this, because I switched off of Perception 9 before I read that posting and back onto the Cognition. If it really works like that, chances are DG and others like him will figure it out so that we don't have to reboot or enable/disable Mobile AP mode.

Any i9000 ROM users able to confirm that Mobile AP on/off works ?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I flashed the gpsjm9 file then

gps_fix_epic_signed.zip in recovery and rebooted

I did check GPS before flashing....Not all that good. Checked Lbst settings and supl.google.com was not even there so I assumed none of the GPS "fixes" were included in the ROM. So I just flashed them to good effect. As far as I am concerned the GPS has been "fixed" awhile now on all the latest ROMS I have flashed including Axura,Assonance, Perception and now Cog.

I had the files on my HD. (I save everything JIC) I still have old Cog versions and ROM specific apks. I keep some flashable files like the GPS fixes on the ex SD card.

[Captivate Android Development] bigjimsax:
Very easy solution to my issue and others that may have difficulty using the browser while connected to wifi, but everything else works with wifi. Just go to manage applications, and clear the data and cache of the browser. I no longer have any issues using the browser with a wifi connection.

Thanks loraque, it ended up being an easy solution that I've probably should've thought about first haha. It had to be due something with the cache.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
It really helps to know what version you are running? Sounds like B7, which has that problem. Flash Cog2.3b8 to fix.
[Captivate Android Development] torrin66:
Does anyone have bluetooth dial working with 2.3B8? I am on perception 7 and I would like to move to 2.3b8, but really need my bluetooth voicedial.

[Captivate Android Development] BetaRoc:
Hmm...sounds like still quite a few glitches. If this doesn't really fix GPS issues, I think I'll just stay away for awhile.
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
Nothing "Fixes" GPS, certain things make it "better" or better yet, more tolerable and of course it varies from device to device. The most consistent has been Clshortfuses jupiter v006 files IMOE. With the right settings they tend to work for "most" people others don't and some are expecting instant gratification which ain't happening.

Remember a quick lock doesn't have s*@t to do with it, it's how well it stays locked when moving as well as sitting still. If it says your doing 5 mph but your sitting at your desk, patio, etc., that's still screwed up even though you got 7 sats. :cool:
[Captivate Android Development] mdoctor:
Better volume in Cog B8?

Hey DG,

Have you done something to make the volume on Cog B8 work much better than your previous ROMs??? Even Perception...

I just flashed from Perception B9 to Cognition B8, and immediately noticed higher and clearer volume in Cog B8 than any other ROMs from DG... even with bluetooth... :D

Has anybody else noticed that???

Thanks,

MD
[Captivate Android Development] mindbullet:
Oh yeah. Cognition's new slogan: Loudest effin ROM for the Captivate. I definitely noticed the volume increase. I wonder if its not CogKernel1 related? I like to use my cappy as my mp3 player, so the additional volume is much appreciated!

[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I believe and have tested the latest GPS indeed "fixes" and the phone finally equals my my Garmin in one car and the same or better than the the Honda's built in GPS system in my Accord Coupe. I could not expect much more from the phone.

Both tests were dashboard mounted. On my motorcycle with direct view I have never lost a lock more than seconds and spoken directions were very accurate. I can claim without doubt on my phone and the latest ROMS from Assonance, Axura, Perception and now Cog have zero GPS complaints..30 meter accuracy while moving at 50 MPH is pretty good. and 10 while standing is also.

The biggest issue I had with GPs in the outset was quick locking. Staying locked was not an issue although it did lose lock it wasn't long enough to get me lost. LOL Initial locking will always take longer after a flash I have found as data is written. Hot start at a Change of location will as well. But now not longer than 15-20 seconds
[Captivate Android Development] mr. haison:
everything is working great with this ROM but I am still getting random restarts that will hang at the cognition screen but it takes about 5 minutes for the homescreen to pop up. This was after an Odin3 fresh install also.
[Captivate Android Development] sdimezq8:
Thanks DG!

I just wanted to send a quick thanks to you, DG.

All the time and effort you put into Perception and Cognition really shows, my Captivate wouldn't have anything on the other phones if it wasn't for your ROM's. Thanks for releasing these ROMs to the xda community! I have been running your ROM's since the SRE days and they have always been solid!

Being that I can't leave things alone... I am currently running Cognition 2.3b8 with SetiroN's 1.4.7xt @ 1.4GHz w/ JL3. I can't say enough good things about the stability, speed and battery life! Linpack ~19.5 Quadrant ~1700

No force closing - No lockups - No random reboots - No charger death to date!

What fixes might you be referring to that resulted in those excellent outcomes?

Thanks!

I loved Cog2.3b7 (non-OC) any chance We'll be seeing b8 in non-OC as well?

Not that I'm going to rail, but seriously 1GHz processor stock on a phone is insane, OC-ing it is just not my cup of tea. (For I plan this phone to last me a good 3 years or so)

B8 is non OC...It is the supercuiro stock voodoo kernel.

Might have been nice to know that my /sdcard/ was going to get smoked. There go my titanium backups, nandroids, and font packs. Apart from that, what a pleasant ROM.
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
What duo you mean by smoked? Nothing on cognition would do that.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
I apply the gpsjm9.zip and the gps_fix_epic_signed.zip after flashing a ROM.

That said GPS is inconsistent as well. Sometimes I have waited a couple minutes for a lock in a new location other times less than 20 seconds. I can drive all day long watching the GPS track where i am and stop at intersections as opposed to befpore the fixes the GPS would continue forward after I stopped LOL. I fine it as reliable as the Honda GPS and the Garmin. I use it mostly where I don't already have GPS and that is on my bike where i depend on only voice directions as I cannot see the screen in the sunlight.

2.3b8 Wi-Fi Issue

Loving the ROM, especially the pure captivate build. One minor annoyance: I still hit an error whenever I try to reactivate the Wi-Fi after turning it off in the power menu. For example: Leaving the house, I turn the Wi-Fi off and run a few errands. I return home and try to reconnect to Wi-Fi through the power menu only to find that the phone gets stuck into a loop attempting to reactivate the Wi-Fi.

I am usually able to wrestle it back into working through the Settings menu.

Anybody else hitting this problem?

Running 2.3b8 aka Cogn8
[Captivate Android Development] rurouni572:
