I had the same issue...Here's what worked for me..

Flash Stock JF6...when complete do a factory reset.

Flash Clockwork MOD and then Install COG 2.3B2

After it boots up disable the lagfix and reboot.

Install ROM Manager from the market

Open ROM Manager and install ROM from SD card..Select COB 2.3B3...Make sure to check wipe cache...This worked for me...YMMV..:)

Ever since I installed 2.3 I have a problem with my camera. I get a "fail to start" error every time I try it. I've tried re-installing from scratch, but it didn't help, then I went through one-click odin to stock. Still doesn't work. No mater how I reset data (from phone, from odin, from CW) or which version I go to (tried odin, CW, 2.2b6, stock, 2.3b2, 2.3b3) I can't get the camera to work. Does anyone know if there's a file / setting somewhere that may have survived through all these resets?
[Captivate Android Development] born_fisherman:
I see, said the blind man. How many different flash configurations did you try before finding one that worked? :) My wife wasn't happy with me this morning flashing about 6 different ways trying to get it to work..

I still wonder if flashing maybe the JI6 modem or something would work as well..I remember the issues with the JPM modem from 2.2b9 (?), but that was just signal issues.. not foreclosing the phone process..

I may wait for the next froyo leak/cog build before trying again.. Thank you for your suggestion, btw.

I have been amazed at the battery life as I stated earlier. I used the hell out of mine on Saturday and got 24 hrs with GPS, wireless, and bluetooth on the entire time. I will start using the screenshot app and posting too just so people dont think Im full of *#&#.
[Captivate Android Development] steviusthedevious:
didn't think to take a screencap, but my latest battery run got me 23.5hrs battery life - now, i did have 3g/wifi/gps disabled for 8hrs while i was sleeping, but this is with moderate web browsing for a couple hours and talking on the phone for about 1.5hrs. when i jumped into batterystats, i was all like ZOMG?!

Been running the 2.3b3 for a litte over a day now, would just like to chime in on the battery life. I flashed at 100% around 2pm yesterday afternoon and performed the battery recalibration technique in the Cognition FAQ. As of right now, 30 hours later, I'm still at 27% which is absolutely amazing. I consider the phone has been moderately used (quite a bit of web browsing, facebook, xda app on 3g, lots of word feud, and other games) so it's performance on the first charge was amazing. I do use juice defender to turn off data until I unlock the phone but that's the only setting enabled in there.

Brilliant work DG! Expect a few drinks coming your way :)

Oden is having terrible problems right now. Stick with clockwork mod.
[Captivate Android Development] dc41:
It solved my problem. In fact, I saved that info in Evernote... just in case! ;)
[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
That would be cool, I noticed it's been gone for awhile now but just assumed it was changed for 2.2 for some unknown and strange purpose.

Do you really need to include Odin in the Odin DL? Or would it be easier separating it into another DL so we don't have to have tons of the same Odin. Correct me if I am just ignorant.

[Captivate Android Development] tazman171:
You have had to have seen some of the questions that get asked, could you imagine the chaos if odin wasn't in the zip? :eek: People would be dl'ing the wrong version of odin or trying to flash it with CWM (already do that), renaming it update.zip (do that too), etc., etc, chaos, chaos, etc. Wouldn't be pretty. ;)

Anyone have the link for battery recalibration

I went to faq wikkii but didnt see it just saw info on kernals installation and channel log if i missed it sorry to ask but i did check before askin so if i could get the link or description id appreciate it Thank You
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Can't wait! ULF works so well, using SentiroN kernel and it runs amazing. DG, is there any way you can integrate OC/UV and BLN? OC/UV really speeds up the phone (and hopefully a version of undervolting better than the i9000 one, which doesn't stick through reboots. Is that because of missing init.d script support in Cognition or is the app writing a bad script that only works with i9000 ROMs?), and BLN is just plain awesome. Also the 343MB RAM hack, which isn't necessary but always nice to have. Is that at all possible without source? Thank you for all your hard work man, we all REALLY appreciate it!
[Captivate Android Development] designgears:
I think all of that requires source :)
[Captivate Android Development] Haloruler64:
Ahh, that's too bad. Requiring a months wait >.< thanks for the quick reply! Also does Cognition have init.d script support? Thank you!
[Captivate Android Development] sparker366:
Have you ever heard of search? There is a search box on the wiki. Search for battery and see what comes up. If you are presented with a blank page then what you searched for "exactly" doesn't exist on the wiki and you can create it.

So with that said I searched for "battery" and low and behold look what I came up with.

http://cognition.theidiotshideout.net/mw/index.php?title=Batterystats

Now folks that view this and see anything that needs to be added then register on the wiki and edit it and then pm me here saying you edited an entry and post the link to the page you edited so I can make sure the format is correct and the information seems relevant and correct

BTW I host the wiki so I know a thing or 2 about it lol

Bluetooth review with Cog 2.3b3

So I said I was going to stress Bluetooth, color me impressed.

Cog 2.3b3 doesn't seem to have the long term memory loss Cog 2.2b6 had. By that I mean with Cog 2.2b6 it would automatically connect up to my GPS (for hands free calling) once, but if I left the car and got back in, I'd have to manually reconnect via the phone. What a pain.

In addition, it appears Vilingo will handle the bluetooth button for voice dialing. I find this a plus, as the Google supplied voice actions are well, a little dumb. (For example, if I say call <contact name> <device> it would try to call a local business first. If I canceled that, I could see in the list the action: search the web for "call <contact name> <device>".)

I also tried flashing smokestack's version over Cog 2.3b3, and while it was fast, the bluetooth when calling had static on it. I had to go back to stock and master clear to get Cog 2.3b3 back on correctly (meaning the bluetooth was restored correctly.)

So for those going tl;dr:

Cog 2.3b3 = bluetooth good :cool:

Vilingo = voice dialing ;)

Smokestack Mod = bluetooth bad :(

Only thing I'm missing on 2.3b3 is tun.ko for VPN. If I had that, I wouldn't have a need to flash again (and I'd be sending you money for some Moose Drool). Nicely done.
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
It sure is interesting, if not a bit frustrating for everyone, how different the experience is.

Google Voice Action will not come up at all when pressing the BT button. Vlingo always comes up for me, but 85% of the time it does not hear me over BT. And that is based on trying with 3 different BT devices I have.

When I compare Vlingo to Google by push of button on the phone. Google is much more accurate than Vlingo for me.

Getting BT working right for calling is the one main reason I interest in 2.2, and so far it has not held up to the promise for me.
[Captivate Android Development] Ethere:
Thank you for this. I never even knew I had 3g problems until this morning when I went off WiFi. Much appreciated.

Battery life has been pretty good for me on beta3
[Captivate Android Development] used2hvatreo:
has anyone experienced their "headset" button being greyed out during a call even though bluetooth is active? my bluetooth works, but if I switch to speaker, i cannot switch back to bluetooth? probably going to have to reflash, but wanted to see if anyone else had seen this as well.

thanks for your input
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
I went shopping last weekend and used Grocery IQ. Unplugged for over 3 hours and with the screen on for 30 minutes, I was at 99% of the battery. Unplugged for 14 hours, using the web and checking email (about an hour), I was at 84%. This is slightly better than I was getting with 2.2 Beta 6. Re-calibration took less time too (Beta 6 took 2 days to get that kind of life, 2.3b3 was almost instant).
[Captivate Android Development] dirtyballoonot:
What else do you need it to do besides send a MMS/SMS?
[Captivate Android Development] onesikpuppy:
That worked for me! Thanks for the help.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
A quick addendum...

Bluetooth mic to media (meaning voice search, etc.) does not work; however, it does appear to work in call. This means that even though the bluetooth button will bring up an app, it won't listen properly. If you get a call, it will.

Not exactly what I was hoping for, oh well. It is getting closer.
[Captivate Android Development] s2h2golf:
Reflash again, only this time wipe data. That fixed my problem.
[Captivate Android Development] Guardian_Bob:
Flash back to stock (after disabling the lag fix) master clear, and then go forward? From what I understand that's the best way for most people.

Oh and I never saw the resolution to the sim/sd card in or out. I assume they should be removed while your doing all of this.
[Captivate Android Development] bigfan2232:
Thanks for the sugestions guys! I flashed back to stock and then flashed v2.3b3 via Odin. Seems to get rid of the fc issues.
[Captivate Android Development] [DT]:
I had a handful of SMS before I flashed [from 2.2b6] to 2.3b3 and they're still on my phone, plus all my call logs.

I did backup with TiBu before I flashed so I'm assuming they were part of the items backed-up/restored (i.e. apps + data).

I'd highly recommend downloading TiBu, and even upgrading to the Pro version. During a restore, the free version requires a confirmation on _each_ item restored, which can get pretty tedious if you have a ton of apps (pro just does its thing :D )
[Captivate Android Development] ewingr:
Wrong understsanding or wrong process?

I asked this in the ClockworkMod thread, but that thread seems to be dead. It's related to lots of discussions and applying CWM to COG ROMS. Hope its OK here.

I've use restore with CWM several times, but I continue to have issues from time to time.

My understanding

Taking this example: I have a Cog 2.16 RM backup, and a Cog 3.2b2 backup.

It is my understanding that I could just go into recovery, select one of them to restore, and I'm up on that ROM. And vice versa, go into restore, and select the other, and I'm up on that ROM.

An Assumption/Question

I should probably do a restore to factory defaults before running one? If I don't, it may work, but may have issues.

What I've experienced and want to 'fix'

A number of times I have done a restore, only to find it boots to the AT&T screen and never boots up the OS.

What is the most likely thing I am doing wrong? I'd like to avoid whatever it is, because when I do that all I know to do is ODIN back to stock, and go through the process of installing root; rom manager; restore from that again.

Any thoughts?
[Captivate Android Development] saoirse_go_deo:
I realize that due to the nature of online communities, hacking, modding, open source software, and just technology in general, that this type of a thread will garner lots of attention from the anxious but ignorant user. I was one, and could still be considered as such compared to what some people here know.

Before I decided to put DGs wonderful work on my phone, I read around the Captivate development forum like a son of a gun. I had to discover for myself the definitions of and procedures for rooting, flashing, calibrating, et cetera. I realize that the information is fragmented but IT IS ALL HERE!

Now I consider myself competent and able to apply this software to my phone and most importantly: able to recover from the common problems that can arise in flashing.

It's very frustrating for me to see the sheer quantity of questions people ask because they have so obviously read next to nothing in this thread.

DG provides us lucky people with fantastic, albeit currently-in-beta software. This is crucial to understand: we are beta testers, all of us. Therefore I just want to say that I wish that people would perhaps adopt an attitude that involves less expectance of hand-holding. Plenty of other people have voiced similar complaints--I know I'm not saying anything profound.

If people wasted less thread space with squawks akin to "HELP ME PLEASE RIGHT NOW. SEND ME AN EMAIL DETAILING EXACTLY EVERTHING TO DO BECAUSE DETAIL X OR Y ISN'T WORKING ON MY PHONE..." then perhaps the page count would be lower...and the information more tractable to read and absorb.

That said, I do definitely recognize the need to get legitimate support from either DG or others here. He needs to know the issues that might be in his code. I just wish that people could apply more discretion so that the multitude of problems typically relating to not following flashing directions could remain out of this thread.

[Captivate Android Development] MrByte:
I'm with you and I have voiced myself the exact same thing before..more than once. It seems that posts like yours (and mine and others) need to come up every few pages, because some just bother to READ.....

As you mention, we're all in here testing software that has inherently bugs and which may or may not be fixable by Dg and the other developers.

We're all waiting for the official Froyo release from Samsung, and until then we can are just testing these beta releases which become better every day thanks to USEFUL feedback from all of us..... Peace..:cool:

[Captivate Android Development] EsotericPunk:
So I've been using 2.3b2 for a while now and I have to say, this is one of your best so far DG! I came across a couple interesting things also:

For those concerned with battery life, I was getting pretty poor battery at first. I installed SuperPower beta from XDA and followed the instructions on this post:

androidspin.com/2010/11/06/double-your-battery-life-on-htc-droid-incredible-sprint-evo-google-nexus-one-and-possibly-others/

Since then my battery life seems to be much better. I was having to charge the phone after getting home from work (down to maybe 20% with moderate use). Now I can make it to the next day and still have a decent charge left.

Also, I have had problems with bluetooth. Once I start up bluetooth, I can't get any sound out of the 3.5mm headphone jack, even if I turn bluetooth off again. I had Pandora running and nothing was playing through my car speakers. I rebooted the phone and after the screen went blank for a few seconds (but before the actual shutoff) I heard Pandora again for a few seconds. When my phone rebooted the jack worked again until I started up bluetooth. This suggests to me that the bluetooth is starting some service that kills the 3.5mm jack and that it doesn't properly shut this mystery service off after the bluetooth is stopped. DG is this worth investigating? Can anyone else confirm this is the case?
[Captivate Android Development] tbong777:
this thread would be cut in half if everyone had done that....I did the same it was weeks before i burned a ROM..I read every post...and even have a spare phone to experiment on....Nothing beats KNOWING what you are doing on a level that will get you out of trouble without waiting for a response.....

Unlocked Samsung Captivate on T Mobile simcard

This weekend I installed Cognition v2.3 via ROM Manager on my Samsung Captivate running Eclair 2.1 update1. Once the install was completed and the device booted, every 30 seconds or so my device would vibrate and then be followed by a force close. I also noticed that I would appear to have no radio signal around the same time.

Obviously I did a factory reset which did not help, so I did a reinstall of Cognition v2.3. This time it was fine!! No vibrating and no force closes for a few hours, that is until I realized that I had actually not had my sim in and was on wifi. As soon as I inserted my TMobile simcard back into my device, all the vibrating and force closes started right back up.

Needless to say I am back on 2.1 update1 and hoping some can shed light on this strange issue.

Need to flash over a froyo rom, either JI6 or JJ4, not eclair.
[Captivate Android Development] cybrslug:
Thanx for the quick reply, I just followed the instructions as posted below.

From 2.1 Eclair

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Go to the xda thread located here. Download the latest version of the ROM. Move it to your internal SD card on your phone.

If you are not already rooted, root with the tools here

Download ROM Manager (available in the market, more info here) and choose "Flash Clockwork Mod" which will put an update.zip (holding clockwork recovery) on the root of your internal SD card.

Open Rom Manager, choose "Install ROM from SD Card", navigate to your Cognition2.x.zip, and 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.

Ok Guys closing this up for a short time to clean it up.

Edit OK guys I just cleaned up over a 1000 Posts.

I am in this thread alot so here is the deal.

1.Ask a question without reading the FAQ or searching will result in post being deleted.

2.As this is Designgears thread he states That Quad Scores dont mean anything so all post about those scores will be deleted as well.

Im getting a force close email error. I read somewhere it was fixed with a 2.2 version, but I skipped over that version completely (went from 2.2 beta 9 to 2.3 beta 3) How can I remedy this? Thanks!

EDIT: forgot to mention!

Since i flashed cognition ive been getting random freezes, probably about twice a day..

Screen gets marginally more washed out and a couple lines appear on the screen, then everything on the screen deteriorates into more pixelation untill you cant distinguish anything.

Only way to restart is to remove the battery.

Has anyone experianced this yet? Is there a fix for it?

I was on JH7 and followed that post to the letter and I have no FC issues or any of the other random bugs associated with bad flashes. I went from JH7>2.3b2>2.3b3. I think it is very important to flash 2.3b2 first then jump to b3 as this others have reported success with this method.
