LOL.....ANd the GPS works well I will bet too!!

There is no objective way to determine battery performance for these ROMS....Some people look for issues where there are none. Like the guys in the AVS forums who watch their TVs and not the actual program material seeking slight imperfections in the hue or pixels...or the computer guys.Too busy "benchmarking" to enjoy their machines...

Gmail Notifications!

I tried replacing my Phone.apk and Phone_Util.apk's with older versions as suggested, but my gmail notifications still aren't working. Anymore suggestions?
[Captivate Android Development] \/icious:
well when your battery drains 50% idling for six hours and it did not do that before you really dont need a test of some sort to tell you something is wrong. Slight changes may not be noticable but some of us use our phones enough to tell when things are running like they should.:cool:
[Captivate Android Development] Twoam:
The two .apks will only do the voice mail notifications. Well send myself an email when I get home to test it.
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
Actuall that is normal for me....If I have 50% left after 6 hours in my pocket Im happy. It all depends on expectations. This device chews up power. At rest and when used. That is why I carry extra batteries. I don;t see it as an issue. I see it more as the nature of these things. I charge mine every night and change batteries once a day. Regardless of the ROM My phone has been idle for 5 hours and I have 72% as I write this. But I have everything running in the BG syncing sat location etc...

When would I think somerthing is wrong? If my phone ran out of battery in 6 hours of idling....Expectations are different. What is a problem to some is not to others. That is the nature of subjective analysis.

So I downgraded to Cog2.2beta8 to try HUSPA. What is the standard data transfer for HSUPA? On speedtest I'm getting around 2.2mps down and 1.2 mps up. Also how can I tell I'm on HUSPA? Wondering if HUSPA makes enough of a difference, if not would definitely want to install DG's latest and greatest.

Bluetooth works for me- Thanks designgears

+1 for AUX-out not passing audio in-call (I assume you are outputting sound not inputting)- mine does not output during call, but strangley enough it outputs sound for music- more important (so it's 90% functioning in my book).
[Captivate Android Development] bts0uth:
On Beta 5 it seems amazing. I let mine die completely and deleted the batterystats.bin file when it was at like 2% left and charged it to full before turning it back on.

I haven't played with it but for maybe 10 minutes and the rest of the time it was idle while I was asleep but right now it says 7hr 25min since unplugged and it's at 95% battery still. In an earlier version I had a problem with it draining like crazy while idle so this is a huge improvement!
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
i find this happens as well. i have to reboot the phone to fix the problem when it occasionally occurs.
[Captivate Android Development] shaolin95:
I have tried opening games and noted the loading speeds with and without lag fix....guess what no difference so what do you feel is a good way to test it? So far every real test shows zero effect so if you want to base the "increased" speed in perception and placebo then be my guest. ;)

Download speed may increase a little but hsupa mainly unlocks our blocked upload speeds. I get 3 to 4 down and right around 1.5 up compared to non hsupa which is usually 300 kbps up. I'm hooked on hsupa. I love it. Download speed test from the market to test.

I'm actually on cognition v2.4.1 with hsupa. Setiron's kernel and jpp modem. Every thing runs awesome except no boot animations which every one running this setup has no boot animations. Just a warning this setup is a little advanced ,no offense just don't know you're flashing back ground ;) .

Just fixed my VM notification issue. I grabbed the Phone.apk from the 2.3b3 rom zip, placed it on the root of my internal sd, and then used root explorer to copy and paste it in the system/app folder, and chose to replace the file. Got a VM notification immediately. I did not do anything with that phone utils apk. I am not sure what that is for. Gmail notifications are working by default for me.

By the way, is it still necessary to disable lag fix before making a rom backup in clockwork?

Does jupiter work decently as a GPS fix for 2.4.1? 3 satellites in 1-2 minutes (depending indoors vs outdoors) is irritating and i rather not reflash since everything else is fine. I have a PND but it sucks and the update cost more than the PND itself.

Hey guys, I am thinking about installing some theme files for cog, and maybe doing that circle battery thing and the stock lock screen, but all of the instructions I read are sort of vague and not new user friendly.

When it comes to the theme files, do I just download a zip to my internal sd, and flash it using clockwork? I don't even have a clue with the other stuff. Thanks for any insight.

Does bluetooth work with your setup? Last time I tried it, I just got static when trying to make a call on BT, but that was on the AOSP ROM.

I don't think I flashed back to stock and the JG8 modem first, so that might have been what screwed me up, I'm not sure.

I just figured I would ask because its a lot of work if BT is still messed up.
[Captivate Android Development] newter55:
No....but I am curious what people have in their texts that is so important....i had one person ask how to remove the limit of how many the phone will store.....do you know how many that is??? I was like wtf do you need to save more than 5000 texts for?

You can a always back them up to google or user a third party app

I found this on another forum to calibrate my phone battery... and it's been more than 10hrs with 15-20 mins call. Checked email once or twice. opened movies app few times on WiFi and 3G as well, and my phone battery is @... hold your breath guys... 87%:D

"Hi, This is not mine but thought I'd post it for you. I did perform this and now my battery is lasting 3 days with moderate use. I would die over night sitting idle.

BATTERY Calibrate

So, you are having trouble with your battery seemingly draining too quickly, especially after having flashed many ROMs/Kernels/etc...

It is possible that the problem (or part of the problem) is not necessarily the phone using too much power. If this is the case for you, you should see some results from doing the following:

1. Connect the phone to the charger with the phone powered on, and allow the phone to charge until it shows 100%

2. Disconnect the phone from the charger, and power it off.

3. Reconnect the phone to the charger with the phone powered off, and allow the phone to charge until the battery indicator shows 100% (you can use vol-up/vol-down to make the indicator come back up when the screen goes to sleep).

4. Disconnect the phone from the charger and power it on.

5. Once the phone is powered completely on, power it off again and reconnect it to the charger until the battery indicator shows 100%.

6. Disconnect the phone, power it on, and use it.

You should only need to use this sequence one time."

Do we still have to disable lagfix when upgrading Roms cause I did not when I updated from 2.4 to 2.4.1 and it worked but I'm not liking the battery results. Everything else is great
[Captivate Android Development] chrisharmful:
Not to beat a dead horse but I tried this just now and it workd pretty good. Go to the Captivate bible thread and check out the GPS fix link. Maybe this will silence some of the *****ing.

BTW, enjoying 2.4.1 so far, don't really miss the launcher, and after tying this fix, everything is working great for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Demented71:
I use this method regularly. I've gotten as much as 30 hours on a charge. Mind you I hardly use my phone. If there is heavy use, I get about half that.

[Captivate Android Development] ArkieMD:
Something funny? I use my phone all day as my primary pharmacopoeia and diagnostic tool. ALL DAY. Usually, I'm swapping batteries by 5PM. Today, even with heavy use and over 12 hours in the clinic, I still had 60% battery remaining. This is a huge improvement. Nothing had changed from the day before except the ROM. So you tell me. :rolleyes:

By the way, if your GPS still sucks, follow these directions:

1. Disable “Use Wireless Networks”

1. Navigate to Settings > Location & Security > uncheck the box next to “Use Wireless Networks”

2. Go to the phone and dial *#3214789650#

1. This step throws you into LBSTestMode menu

3. In the LBSTestMode menu change “Operation Mode” to MS Based

4. In the LBSTestMode menu, find “SUPL/CP Settings” and change the SERVER & PORT to supl.google.com and port 7276 (DO NOT use www. in front of supl)

I guarantee nobody with a captivate would ever complain again about their GPS if everyone knew about this. I tried this and instantly (<3s) my gps was locked...no wireless networks or sensor aiding activated...just solid gps performance.

Haha totally. I got caught in the crossfire for trying to defend a noob. One thing I love about the cog thread is everyone here is more peaceful.

Even if it is a dumb idea to try a certain method its better to try and fail than not try... when someone says a method is retarded and initiates personal attacks I always get confused.

Then you have to wade through 20 pages of personal attacks just to read up on bug reports....I don't mind opinions or subjective as long as its not inflammatory...hana ill just say im glad we have a good community here in cog

[Captivate Android Development] Sagui:
Seconded!!!

I made the changes and my GPS went from "kinda OK" to "freaking awesome". I was outside with GPS turned on, opened maps and had a position within 40m by the time the app was completely open. 2 seconds later it had me pinpointed within a few feet (i.e. no blue circle, just the chevron). Usually took around 30 seconds to get a 100 meter lock before.

Off topic but man, after reading a post in here about random shutdowns I checked out the link to the discussion thread. I always assumed it was the ROMs doing it (which I was used to from WinMo 6.5), but it seems I need to go warranty trade my phone for this issue. No more playing with ROMs for a few days. :( Oh well, maybe I'll get one o' them new-fangled Captivates, what with the workin' GPS.
